Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

"Hey! Silver Wolf, you're cheating again!"

"Bullshit! Hacking doesn't count as cheating! I just swept the disk!"

A bright red "KO" icon popped up on the large LCD screen, and the character controlled by Xing fell to the ground.

Xing then sprawled out on the sofa, tossing the controller aside.

"I'm not playing anymore, it's boring. They adjust the damage and cooldowns, how am I supposed to win?"

Silver Wolf scoffed:

"You're giving up already? I thought you had more perseverance."

Xing pouted:

"If you're so capable, go and fight someone of your own level! Trying to play against someone like me with cheats is just bullying an honest person!"

Silver Wolf pondered for a moment, then stroked his chin smugly and said:

"Just you wait, I've issued a challenge to a certain mechanical king, and if he doesn't accept, I'll go find him!"

Xing: "Oh, oh, oh, let's fight! Let's fight!"

Two frying pans slammed hard onto Silver Wolf and Star's heads.

Ying Xing smiled and said:

"Time to eat, stop making a racket."

At the dinner table, Kafka looked at the two of them with big bumps on their heads in surprise. Liuying thoughtfully put a band-aid on Xing's head.

Kafka covered her mouth and chuckled, then said to Silver Wolf:

"Eriol said he doesn't recommend you challenge Sluggle; the situation is unclear, and it's best not to cause any more trouble."

Silver Wolf picked up the spoon, swallowed a mouthful of rice, and said with dissatisfaction:

"I finally passed the rookie mission, and now I'm going to challenge the Omnic King as a Star Core Hunter. This is a great opportunity to increase my reputation."

Kafka remained unmoved:

"I'll listen to Eriol."

Silver Wolf looked at Firefly and Star: "Don't you guys think this is cool?!"

Firefly: "I have no comment."

Xing: "What's so cool about it? If you get beaten to a pulp, we'll lose face big time."

Silver Wolf: "How dare you question my strength!"

Then Silver Wolf said to his guardian, Ying Xing:

"Blade can prove it. She accompanied me throughout the entire newbie mission, and she knows best how well I performed."

Ying Xing: "You mean you played claw machines for half a day? To be honest, all the claw machines in the arcade were broken, which is really terrifying."

Silver Wolf: "Waaaaah! Anyway, I'm definitely going. I've issued a challenge; if I don't go, wouldn't that mean I'm scared?!"

Finally, Kafka took a sip of hot cocoa and chuckled softly:

"Go ahead, we won't stop you. Outside of missions and the script, we won't interfere with what you do. But don't use any powers that affect the timeline, or you won't know how Eriol will punish you."

......

The website of Interstellar Peace Company is located on the server.

Screws is regularly inspecting the firewall here in accordance with the signed contract.

Consciousness is invested into the service network, and ScrewGumm manifests code to perform repairs.

As I waited patiently, the electronic network wall flickered with snowflakes and mosaics.

"Um?"

Screw Gum tilted his body at a 35-degree angle, precisely dodging a laser beam.

A large yellow sphere appeared, and it charged toward Screw Gum with its huge mouth open.

"Pac-Man?"

Screw Gumm snapped his fingers, and Pac-Man vanished as a string of data.

"Ms. Silver Wolf, this is the company's security service network. A confrontation here would result in too much damage."

The silver wolf's voice came from all directions:

"Who cares! I've hacked into the company's intranet countless times, one more time won't make a difference!"

Screw Gum shook his head helplessly:

"Ms. Silver Wolf, I accept your challenge. However, we can choose to have the duel on the internal network of Screw Star. I will bear all the losses. The company is my partner, and I do not want personal grudges to harm the interests of my comrades."

"Tsk, what a troublesome guy. Fine, fine, you just wait and see!"

"I'm ready to serve you anytime."

After sending Silver Wolf away, Screw Gum lowered the brim of his hat. Cheng Xiao had indeed been right. Hopefully, things wouldn't be too troublesome.

Black Tower Space Station, simulating the universe.

At this moment, the Black Tower's consciousness, perched on Cheng Xiao's shoulder, complained:

"You really don't have anything going on with Aha? Wasn't that Aha who hit me before? And now this simulated Aha is coming to find you too!"

Cheng Xiao said helplessly:

"Do you think Lezi God doesn't know about the simulated universe? It's not even certain whether this simulated Aha is the real Aha."

Black Tower: "Aha, you don't have that much free time, do you?"

Cheng Xiao: "The real body is indeed not that free, but this is a simulation. You have given Aha a rare freedom."

"What do you mean?"

You'll find out later.

"Are you still playing the riddle-solving game with me?"

"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"

"Pah!"

In fact, Cheng Xiao knew perfectly well that the simulated Ah Ha in front of him was actually Xiao Ha in disguise.

Little Ha directly took over the data code of the Black Tower and became Aha in the simulated universe.

"Waaaaah, Archivist is gone, waaaaah, so useless, can't even simulate Archivist, so useless."

The black tower figure's veins bulged:

"This is clearly a ploy to target me, Cheng Xiao. Does Ah Ha have such a keen sense?!"

Cheng Xiao scratched his head awkwardly:

"A god of fun, anything is possible."

The simulated Aha wiped away imaginary tears and revealed a familiar smile:

"Cheng Xiao is still here. Cheng Xiao can still be with me. Cheng Xiao can't leave again. I've already lost Akivili. I can't lose Cheng Xiao too."

This time, there's no way to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River.

The black tower looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, its eyes revealing an endless emptiness.

"You still say it has nothing to do with Aha? How long are you going to keep fooling me?!"

"Hey, I realized my clothes are dry but I haven't put them away yet. I'll go back and collect them first."

Riding the whirlwind through the simulated universe, he cast a [Rabbit] talisman and ran off.

Black Tower crossed his arms in dissatisfaction, disregarding his administrator privileges, and directly engaged in dialogue with the simulated Aha.

"What exactly happened between you and Cheng Xiao?!"

Simulating Aha's mischievous grin, he said in a cheeky tone:

"Cheng Xiao is a scumbag who seduced and then abandoned me. He...he took away the most important thing from me!"

Black Tower: "!"

......

Dan Heng, wearing a straw hat, walked through the interstellar space station.

She has been traveling on the starship for three months now.

They were planning to return to the Immortal Ship and purchase some supplies here.

The port of the interstellar space station is filled with spaceships. For planets that have joined the galactic trade system, traveling to and from such a space station is a common occurrence.

Suddenly, a beastly roar resounded, deafeningly loud.

The passengers on the space station were in a panic and screamed.

Company staff immediately organized an evacuation and contacted the security system.

However, the behemoth is entrenched in the star orbit, preventing escaping ships from leaving and blocking cargo ships, which could cause enormous losses.

The colossal beast opened its blood-red maw and charged towards the space station!
