"Finally woke up? Stupid Kiana." Bronya raised her head and put down the comic book in her hand. "We were just a little bit away from achieving the achievement 'Kiana couldn't eat the barbecue party she threw for herself'."
"Wow! I'm sorry!" Kiana quickly clasped her hands together and apologized, "Now, whatever else needs to be done, let me do it."
"The manager told you to prepare some marshmallows." Bronya pointed to a large bag of marshmallows on the coffee table in the living room. "I heard this task is best reserved for you, so go get roasting the marshmallows."
Kiana laughed awkwardly, picked up the bag of marshmallows from the coffee table, opened one and put it in her mouth to chew.
"Oh, by the way, where's the store manager?"
Kiana, who was about to walk towards the kitchen, suddenly turned around and asked Bronya.
"He went downstairs and said he was going to rescue Yulandel." Bronya continued to pick up the comic book. "There must be some strange bug in the game. The manager needs to fix it."
These few simple words immediately evoked Kiana's memories of when she first arrived at the game hall.
Thinking of the Silent Hill collapse incident that she had experienced at that time, Kiana's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she felt something was wrong.
No, that's not right! What am I thinking? That's Yulandel, how could it be possible? Kiana quickly shook her head, rejecting the sudden idea that had just emerged.
Wang Xuanqiao, who was being talked about by Kiana, was now waiting downstairs for Yulandel to pass the level.
He was about to go upstairs after quitting the game, but when he thought about how Yulandel had already collected the entire set of equipment and that he was only one step away from completing the game, he decided to stay.
Yulandel was indeed just one step away from victory. After she emerged from that space, she began a new round of battle with the Great Sage's remains in her true form.
It was a battle for inheritance. All the magical powers Youlan Dai'er hadn't been able to display at Wang Xuanqiao were used in the duel with the Great Sage's remains. Finally, the Great Sage's remains exhausted its last bit of strength, satisfied, and put down the golden cudgel, sitting in meditation and passing away.
After he disappeared, the root in his body left the body, leaving only a pair of golden hoops that quietly fell into the water.
But those roots did not fly towards Yulandel, but gathered into the body of the soulless man of destiny.
The restriction left by the Great Sage dissipated, and the old monkey who was isolated from the outside world walked over slowly and picked up the golden hoop from the water.
He placed the golden hoop in front of him and blew gently to disperse the remaining golden light, then put the golden hoop into his thin clothes.
"There was once an old Taoist priest who said that as long as he knew enough cause and effect, he could calculate anything. But I dare say that even if he knew more cause and effect, he could not calculate what happened at this moment." The old monkey looked at Youlandel, and a smile appeared on his old face.
"Because what is happening at this moment should be called a miracle."
He looked again at the Destiny Man, who was sitting in the water with his head bowed. His completely still body suddenly moved slightly under the old monkey's gaze...
"So, from today on—someone will continue the legend of the Monkey King."
The man with the destiny who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
The old monkey raised his hand, first pointing at the man of destiny, and then at Yulandel.
"Just him, and you."
——The author has something to say——
Now that I have passed all five levels, I can tell everyone who has passed the eyes and ears levels.
The two gates of Dai'e's eyes and ears are actually Siegfried and Cecilia, the parents, the first people a child sees and hears upon birth. Of course, some might argue, "That's not right! Shouldn't the first person seen be the nurse who delivered the baby? Shouldn't the midwife be the one who delivered the baby? Could it be someone else?" And so on.
There is no way around this, let us repeat the classic line from the two-dimensional world: Those who care about details are fools!
As for why the heart barrier is Wang Xuanqiao, I think I should also talk about this. Just like the mouth barrier corresponds to Otto, Otto secretly buried Dai'e's identity, making her unable to speak; the body barrier corresponds to Kevin, Kevin is the source of Kaslana's bloodline; and the heart barrier corresponds to Wang Xuanqiao, because in Dai'e's heart, Aqiao is the person who cannot be defeated.
Therefore, one must transcend him in order to achieve liberation.
This is why the system called Ah Qiao himself over. If the Dai E really gave it a physical form, the result would basically be...
Those who understand understand (spread hands)
Volume 222: : Set [Free and Easy Magical Power]
Did the Monkey King resurrect in the body of the Man of Heaven? Maybe, maybe not.
Perhaps only time could answer this question. However, Yulandel felt that having another person inherit the Great Sage's will was a good thing. At least in the future, no one would be alone in the face of injustice.
Unfortunately, before the drama of havoc in heaven could even begin, the final chapter of Yulan Daier's dark myth came to an end. This time, the ending unexpectedly lacked a story, leaving her with only one line of words:
[The legend of the Monkey King continues.]
Once this kind of text appears in the game, its translation basically means: Additional content is in production, so stay tuned.
Yulandel immediately exited the game. After she took off her helmet, she heard the system send the final piece of the suit, [Boundless Heart], to her, thus officially completing the five-piece suit.
You have collected 'Unobstructed Eyes', 'Unobstructed Ears', 'Unobstructed Mouth', 'Formless Body', and 'Boundless Mind'. The 'Free and Easy Divine Power' set has now been successfully activated.
The first feeling she had upon activating the suit was a sense of lightness and relief. Yulandel felt as if her entire body had undergone a complete transformation, becoming something more agile.
Then there was the endless flow of energy within her body. It was distinctly different from Honkai energy, giving her a more peaceful and calming feeling. This energy was constantly circulating within Youlan Daier in a Tai Chi-like balanced structure, and with each revolution, it grew stronger.
Then came the imprint of spells. Every spell Youlan Daier had learned in Black Myth was etched into her instincts. Just as Wang Xuanqiao had said to her back then—as long as she collected the complete set, she would naturally learn it.
Finally, there were a few gifts that seemed like unexpected things, such as the long stick that he had used when challenging the heart barrier, the plain white armor, and a magic treasure that he had not had time to use.
After Yulandel counted the items she had received, she felt a sudden sense of unreality. Wasn't this too much? While Black Myth was indeed well-made, she was ultimately just playing a game. How could this...
"Have you sorted out the rewards?"
Wang Xuanqiao saw her expression change and guessed that Youlandel must have started to think about it after receiving the reward.
His sudden voice startled Yulandel a little.
"Manager?" She instinctively retracted her hand. "Was that really you in the game just now?"
"......Guess?" Wang Xuanqiao glanced at Youlandel again and asked back.
"Okay. I always thought it was someone who manifested in the game, just like the first two manifestations, Otto and Kevin."
"If you truly materialize me, it won't be a joke." Wang Xuanqiao shook his head. "This level I'm facing is different from the previous ones. You must prove through battle that you've transcended the shackles."
After saying that, he also stood up from his seat.
"Let's not talk about that. How do you feel now?" Wang Xuanqiao looked Youlandel up and down and found that the temperament she exuded was obviously refreshed.
"It feels really good! This is something I could never achieve in a lifetime of training. So... I kind of think that the store manager gives out so many games here."
Although Yulandel didn't feel comfortable saying it out loud, she did feel like she had gotten a lot of benefits for nothing.
"Oh, what's that?" Wang Xuanqiao waved his hand. "If you try another game and see the points awarded, and then look at the prices in the member mall, you won't think so."
He felt that the five times price in the member mall was indeed a bit unfair.
"After all, unlocking the Black Myth and obtaining the exclusive rewards depended on you, didn't you? You're not the type to deny that luck is also a part of strength, are you?"
Of course, Yulandel was not like that. As she was good at taking things from others, she immediately accepted this generous gift.
"Well, now that you've got your reward, it depends on whether you plan to stay for the barbecue party or go back to Tianming to rest."
Wang Xuanqiao was ready to go back upstairs to continue signing. As the organizer and host, how could he really let Mei and the others do all the work?
"Barbecue party...Manager, is Kiana here too?" Yulandel suddenly asked him.
"Yes, the barbecue party is for her." Wang Xuanqiao nodded in response. Then, remembering that Youlan Daier had recovered her memories as Kiana, he asked, "Are you ready to recognize your sister now?"
"I really want to tell her right now." Yulandel nodded, "But, I'm a little...unsure how I should tell her. After all, Kiana and I didn't spend much time together before this."
"Didn't you decide to save her just because of a test record?" Wang Xuanqiao looked at her and smiled. "Do you want to wait until we're really familiar with each other before telling her that you're actually her sister?"
Yulandel looked away as if she felt guilty.
However, she immediately discovered another thing -
"Wait! Manager, why do you know that?" Yulandel turned her gaze back, looking surprised.
"Because I've read the plot." Wang Xuanqiao shrugged. "But now, many things won't happen again, so don't ask me what the future will be like. I've already handed it over to you."
Yulandel barely understood what "read the plot" meant: just like she had read "Journey to the West", the manager must have read something like "Collapse of the Earth".
Oh, in that case...
Bianca suddenly had an idea.
"Manager, do you know how I met Kiana in the original future?"
She was going to copy the solution from the original work!
"...Why are you so clever in this area? Just like Kiana, oh no, you're also Kiana." Wang Xuanqiao gave Bianca a subtle look. "But do you really want to know? Copying that might not be as good as you are now."
"Why?" Bianca asked curiously.
"Because it's too awkward. If Rita hadn't told everyone about this, and everyone had created a private space for you to talk, forcing you to have the conversation, it would have taken who knows how long for you two to officially recognize each other."
Wang Xuanqiao recalled the development of the original work. The relationship had been revealed in Klosten, but the two sisters did not officially recognize each other until the Stigmata Plan was launched.
All I can say is that a girl like Bianca who advocates directness also has a lot of delicate things in her heart.
"Uh, it turns out that my future self doesn't have a good solution..."
Bianca sighed, still struggling.
"You don't have a good solution now, so don't even think about the original you." Wang Xuanqiao felt helpless seeing her like this. "Do you know what your original situation was like? You were only told the truth that you were Kiana, but those memories were not returned to you."
"That's what you just told me. You don't really feel anything for this relationship. You're worried about yourself..."
"Wait, wait! I understand, manager, no need to say any more!" Bianca hurried forward and grabbed Wang Xuanqiao's arm.
"So, now you not only know the truth, but you've also reclaimed those memories. You understand both intellectually and emotionally that you're the girl who wanted to take care of Kiana as a younger sister. So, what are you still struggling with?"
"If it really doesn't work, I'll help you ask for it. I'll go up and call Kiana to recognize her as my sister, and you just have to agree."
"No, no, no! Let's not do this..." Bianca grabbed Wang Xuanqiao's arm and shook it. "I just want to make this as perfect as possible."
"In matters like this, only true love is perfect." Wang Xuanqiao let Bianca hold her arm and rock it back and forth. "But I understand how you feel. After all, you're the older sister, so you definitely want to show off in front of your younger sister."
In fact, it is not only sisters, but also brothers, sisters, and older siblings. In this kind of relationship between the old and the young, the older one naturally desires the respect and admiration of the younger one. That is a kind of authority that the older one needs.
Therefore, the idea that the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister is like a mother was born in society.
"Well... let's do this!" Wang Xuanqiao thought for a moment and came up with a good idea.

——The author has something to say——
I would also like to thank my fellow book friends [Shan Yi], [Xiong Yan Qi], [Nyako (≧▽≦)], [Bai Li Ling Meng 0], [Zhu Feng Zhi Lu], [Wasteland], and [Another Passerby Who Came to Get a Bento] for their recommendation votes, and thank you for your support.
Volume 223: : On the Magical Use of the Original Plot
In fact, Bianca did have a way to quickly establish her authority as an older sister in front of Kiana - by helping her finish her homework. If she did this, she would have no problem becoming Kiana's stepmother, not to mention her older sister.
However, given Bianca's personality, helping Kiana with her homework was practically impossible. She would definitely use supervision and guidance to let Kiana complete her homework on her own. Although this approach could also produce good results, it would, as Bianca said, not be perfect.
So perfectionism be damned.
In order to take care of Bianca's little thoughts, Wang Xuanqiao thought of another way.
That's to just use the terminal to play movies at the barbecue party, projecting the plot from when Bianca was still a young Kiana onto everyone's faces. Of course, before that, there would probably be some other clips to set the stage, like Dusk Battleship, a hundred Mei, etc...
I will definitely not let it go.
This isn't a public execution, why put these things there?
What Wang Xuanqiao wanted was a natural feeling that came naturally, and when everyone was immersed in the memories of the past, he would bring up Bianca's story.
He briefly explained his idea to Bianca and received her approval. Bianca couldn't think of a better way anyway. After all, she wanted to do it well and quickly, which basically limited most of the methods.
However, there are higher priority things to do right now. Mei and the others are still upstairs signing, so it's time to go back and help!
Wang Xuanqiao and Bianca hurried back to the third floor, only to discover a scene that was not yet over in the kitchen.
Ever since Kiana brought marshmallows into the kitchen, she has looked at Raiden Mei many times, and the frequency is like a radar, scanning back and forth again and again.
"Mei..." Kiana was stringing marshmallows onto the skewers with both hands, but her eyes were finally focused on Raiden Mei.
"What, what's wrong? Kiana." Mei Raiden was already feeling a little guilty when she was looked at by her, and when she suddenly spoke, she almost cut the knife crookedly.
"Well... Mei, has anything happened to you recently?" Kiana was not sure how to describe the feeling she got from Mei. If she had to say it, it was probably that she felt softer?
"No," Mei Raiden shook her head in denial. "Ever since the principal transferred us back to Saint Freya, Bronya and I have been involved in the cleanup and reconstruction of Changkong City."
"Huh? It's Changkong City." Kiana became interested when she heard the familiar name, and changed the topic she had just brought up.
"I wonder how Chiba Academy is doing now. I kind of miss that rooftop."
The rooftop of the academy? Mei Raiden's memories quickly surfaced, and she couldn't help but laugh softly at the memory of that past time.
"Chiba Academy is still relatively intact. If you want to see what it looks like now, I can take a picture for you," said Mei Raiden.
