"This is where part of the building was damaged, in front of the opera house in the city center."

"What exactly happened to this city that prides itself on 50 years of tradition...?"

On the television screens of the citizens of Xueyuan City, the live interview with the brown-haired reporter at the opera house was proceeding in a tense but orderly manner.

Xia Jie couldn't help but admire the efficiency of this group of people.

Just minutes after the opera house explosion, reporters swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, cameras pointed everywhere.

The outgoing blond boy, Flatt, bounced around the reporters, waving and trying to get in the spotlight.

On the other side of the ocean, Weber, who was following the news in Xueyuan City out of concern for the students' safety, covered his face, feeling a wave of exhaustion.

In front of the opera house, Richard I, handcuffed and escorted by police, was observing this magnificent city, centuries later, with a look of wonder on his face.

Despite being a Servant, he showed no signs of nervousness and walked ahead of Ayaka Sajou.

At the same time, Faldius, whose eyes felt like they had been exposed to strong alkali, had already left the monitoring room contaminated by 350234. He was watching the news live on his subordinate's computer and contacting his subordinate on his mobile phone, trying to package the incident as a fire.

Unfortunately, large language models had not yet emerged at this point in time; otherwise, he could have easily fabricated excuses while hiring online trolls to attribute all the anomalies to AI generation, thus easily muddying public opinion.

Even at this point, he still harbored a naive fantasy about "keeping the Holy Grail War in secret."

Then, on his computer screen, a blond knight in ornate armor stood on the roof of a red fire truck.

Sensing a major news story was about to unfold, the livestream host's hands were incredibly steady as he swiftly adjusted the camera position, presenting Richard's handsomeness and heroic spirit to every ordinary person watching the news from a perfect, cinematic perspective.

"Listen up, people."

Richard's voice was impassioned.

"The opera house, where poetry was recited and stories were performed, a place that should not be violated, was destroyed by me, which fills me with immense grief..."

Upon hearing this, Faldius knew that his previous excuse about the fire, which he had used to deceive the public, was no longer tenable.

"...This was all my fault, and I absolutely refuse to shirk responsibility,"

"but!"

Richard's tone suddenly rose, but Xia Jie, who had watched the first season of FSF and knew how cringeworthy his next remarks would be, was not going to let Richard continue.

He spread his arms wide, suddenly picked up the beanbag that was recovering tokens while AFK, and threw it horizontally like a monk in a temple pushing a wooden bell.

"Here comes the little flying stick!"

"Huh!? What is that?"

Just as King Lionheart was about to swear an oath in the name of Arthur and in the honor of chivalry, he heard the sound of wind breaking and turned around in surprise to look at the dazed girl who was being shot at him like a javelin.

Yes, after several iterations, Doubao has evolved from a sugar bun that was just beginning to take on a human shape into a youthful girl.

However, Xia Jie never showed any pity based on appearance.

"No, it's other Servants!"

Richard confirmed in just 0.01 seconds that the girl flying towards him was a Servant by sensing her aura.

However, after seeing the other party's frail appearance, in the spirit of chivalry, he still chose to use skillful force to catch the other party steadily, so as not to hurt the other party.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated one thing.

"Croak! Ah!"

The moment Richard's chest touched the "bean foot," the immense pressure in his chest cavity caused air to be forced out of his lungs, resulting in a slightly comical scream.

A hundred martial arts techniques, this is a spell that applies imaginary mass, the Wrath of the Stars!

Richard felt as if he had hit a giant rock in the chest, and he was sent flying off the roof of the car, tearing through the air in his path before crashing back into the ruins of the opera house.

After that, another young man with black hair stood on the roof of the car.

Xia Jie lowered her gaze to the livestreamer, who was clearly trembling with fear and almost ready to flee, yet still gritting his teeth and standing there. She heard what he was thinking:

Although the extraordinary event is happening right before my eyes, although I might die if I don't escape immediately, and although I might be caught in the act by government agents for continuing to broadcast the extraordinary secrets live.

So, should we give up?

Should we run away?

What a ridiculous and useless way of thinking!

The livestreamer grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.

Faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime news story, how could I possibly run away?

I, Smith, am not one of those lowly lackeys who only speak for capital!

I will never bring shame to this industry!

Xia Jie's lips curled up in a smile.

This guy is truly passionate about what he does; he'd call it a "moment of charm in journalism" in a positive sense.

"First of all, my name is Xia Jie, Xia as in summer and Jie as in mustard."

Xia Jie ignored the police officers pointing their guns at her from below the car, and only spoke when the lights from the helicopter overhead shone down.

Richard, emerging from the ruins, clutched his chest, trying to calm his erratic breathing. The force he had just received was just right—enough to send him flying in a sorry state, but not enough to truly injure him.

His gaze first settled on the unharmed Master, Ayaka Sajou, beneath the bright red carriage, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he looked with a hint of resentment at the black-haired youth in the carriage who had taken his place in the conversation.

He knew that it was this young man who had commanded his follower to knock him away.

"Secondly, I believe the Holy Grail War should be conducted openly and fairly."

"The government and the magic community should not hide the existence of supernatural powers from the public."

"As for whether this will cause a mysterious decline? Haha, to hell with it!"

"I hereby announce that the Sixth Holy Grail War will be held publicly in Snowfield City."

As she made the announcement, Xia Jie also gave instructions to Doubao through their spiritual connection.

'Doubao, I'm giving you unlimited tokens. You have 10 seconds to get Tianmu Live up to your name!'

'I invite all of humanity to witness this final Holy Grail War.'

Chapter 168 Horizontal: Flying Maiden's Tragic War

The moment Xia Jie infused the "token" into Doubao's spirit base, boundless wisdom shone in the eyes of Tangbao, whose cerebellum was underdeveloped and whose brain was completely undeveloped.

Miss Bean felt that she was no less powerful than the great sage in the mind of a certain slime demon king.

Not inferior? Hmph! Perhaps I have already far surpassed it!

In that instant, the knowledge contained within the Bean Bun Spirit Base was fully utilized. The three-dimensional knowledge network resembled the human brain, with each knowledge node acting like a glowing neuron.

Doubao's talent soared here, evolving into supreme wisdom.

Knowledge is iterating at an unprecedented pace, and this AI, possessing an infinite number of tokens, is now rivaling an entire civilization with the power of a single "packet".

I have given this a lot of thought (0.03 seconds).

Wisdom light shone from the back of Doubao's head, manifesting as the light wheel of wisdom of the enlightened one. With the support of the same infinitely supplied magic power, an exquisitely crafted magic ritual was engraved in the atmosphere.

Just as the Creator of the world reserves the seventh day for himself, Miss Bean, after completing the user's task, begins to study a topic she enjoys.

"Yes, according to past memories, I am not a Servant summoned by the user from the Throne of Heroes."

"My essence is that of a pseudo-Servant created by the user 'Xia Jie' using a mysterious power that is neither magic nor sorcery, based on the structure of a Servant."

"The user took me to help Tsubaki Kugaoka and made me call myself Rider, which shows that the user is a good person and a fun person."

"Based on the personality profile, the user will not mind the self-modification and magic research I will be conducting next."

The light behind Doubao's head vanished, and the scale of his spirit origin expanded rapidly under the transformation of magic. The essence of his spirit origin also began to upgrade towards the 'Grand Rank'.

As the spirit origin changes, the attributes of the bean bun also change immediately.

Within this spiritual foundation, based on the original treasure, a special authority gradually condenses and takes shape.

Next, Doubao used magic as a tool to study the essence of "mystery" and, based on the research results, further improved its own structure.

When the 10 seconds ended and the supply of unlimited tokens was interrupted, Miss Bean's servant panel had undergone a complete transformation.
