Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"Yeah - don't panic, let me try them one by one!" Walnut fumbled with the standard weapons provided by the investigation base. He tried to swing the sword twice, but it didn't suit his hand. Then he took the sledgehammer and swung it twice, but found that it still didn't suit his hand.

So, Walnut passed through a whole host of weapons: a slashing axe, a sword and shield, a shield-axe, a katana, a hunting horn... Finally, she found the one that worked best for her: the insect troll.

"It feels right! This is a gun!" Hu Tao grabbed the insect-control stick and waved it a few times on the spot. Turning around, he saw Xiangling had already picked up the katana.

"Hu Tao, can't this also be used as a gun?" Xiang Ling tried to use the gun techniques she learned to wield the katana twice and found that the length was indeed suitable.

"Indeed, it is possible, but mine can fly!" Walnut used the insect stick to jump on the spot, and could also use the hunting insect and the insect stick to change direction again in mid-air. At that moment, she looked like a flying acrobat.

Xiangling immediately threw away her katana and chose the insect-control stick as her weapon, just like Hu Tao.

If Wang Xuanqiao were here, he'd definitely want to complain. Two newbies with bug sticks, this hunt is going to be a mad slog. Without further ado, it's time to happily run a marathon across the map with the dragon!

Just as the two were sharpening their sticks to attack the big thief dragon, Wang Xuanqiao, who was cooking, received the finished editing of "Sleepless Night" from Graceau.

——The author has something to say——

I didn't expect that a fellow reader actually guessed the unlocked game yesterday. That's amazing! Congratulations to our reader [Xiong Yan Qi] for successfully guessing the game unlocked by Xiang Ling, earning the achievement: [Guessed Better Than Aqiao].

In addition, Xiangling and Hu Tao will definitely not be the swordsman. The real swordsman is someone else! I won’t tell you who it is. Anyway, you can wait and see later (Hey)

And why I chose MHW? The latest Monster Hunter game has hunters cooking, which seems to be more in line with Xiangling's character. There are two main reasons for this: MHW's Felyne chef is truly amazing, and Azure Planet itself actually has room for cooking, such as the outdoor base cooking mentioned in the article.

The second reason is some factors outside of the plot. MHW may be relatively more popular. At the same time, it is also my first work in Monster Hunter 233. It is definitely a higher priority for me. After all, I haven’t played the new work yet (whispering)

Of course, I'm not a Taidao warrior!

Volume 264: : Mom, I'm on TV!

Grace's efficiency was truly unexpected. Wang Xuanqiao hadn't expected her to deliver a finished product in such a short time, so he offered her a few words of consolation and chatted with her about video editing.

Wang Xuanqiao was still a little worried that Gray Xiu was exploiting him too much. If she really forced herself to work too hard because of this task that was casually handed over, Wang Xuanqiao would have to find a way to compensate her.

Grace also took the opportunity to share her thoughts with Wang Xuanqiao. She knew that time flowed at different speeds between the two time periods, much faster in Pinocchio than in her own world. So Grace worried that if she gave in to her laziness and procrastinated, she might end up in a desperate rush, so she decided to just go for it.

To ensure efficiency, Gretsch also enlisted the help of Eden. Having visited Pinocchio and experienced the Harmonious Festival, Eden provided significant assistance in video production. Even the Void Void Void, which had been unused from the experiments, was brought to bear. The two of them enthusiastically worked overtime, achieving such an astonishing speed.

It seems that the technical aspect is mainly supported by Xukong Wanzang.

At this point, Wang Xuanqiao no longer worried about whether Grace was forcing herself. He sent the packaged documents directly to Mockingbird, who would decide whether to revise them or pass them on directly to the relevant personnel.

However, it is unlikely that any modification will be made. He has always believed in Grace's artistic level, and now Grace has invited Eden, so it is naturally a sure thing.

After sending the video file, I received a reply from Mockingbird very quickly. One of them said that they had received the file, and the other talked about recruiting him to the Origami University Board of Directors.

Robin said he hoped Wang Xuanqiao could spare some time to attend a school committee meeting, the time being decided by him. The other family heads had already agreed to Wang Xuanqiao's participation in the school committee, and now all he had to do was show up and the matter would be finalized.

Wang Xuanqiao thought about the afternoon's arrangements. Hu Tao and Xiang Ling would probably leave after dinner, so he could go to Origami University to deal with this matter.

After all, these two had come to the arcade on a whim after a chance encounter in the mountains. They certainly couldn't just stay and play until dark. Wang Xuanqiao was quite insightful about gaming motivations; Hu Tao had brought Xiangling here primarily for the experience.

If they really wanted to play games, they would definitely not come in from the wild.

As expected, Hu Tao and Xiang Ling finished lunch in the arcade and said goodbye to Wang Xuanqiao. During lunch, they chatted with Wang Xuanqiao about their Monster Hunter experiences. The Insect Blade looked incredibly flashy and impressive, but it seemed incapable of killing dragons. The two of them chased a large Dragonite for an entire area before finally exhausting it.

The two's gains were rather subtle. Hu Tao received 200 points, while Xiangling received an exclusive reward called [Hunter Assessment].

[Hunter Assessment]: Newcomer! You need to be proficient in using hunter tools, master basic hunter abilities, and finally successfully hunt invaders that threaten the ecosystem to prove that you are a mature and experienced hunter.

Interestingly, this [Hunter Assessment] is actually the same thing as [Hero Seed]. However, Xiangling would definitely not be as confused as Liuying, because the [Hunter Assessment] is not as vague as the [Hero Seed].

It directly lists the conditions for qualitative change. As long as Xiangling continues to play Monster Hunter, she will definitely be able to complete the transformation of the skill [Hunter Assessment].

Maybe Xiangling will be Teyvat's first Blue Star by then. Thinking about her image, it's quite fitting. This kid is even bound to Guoba in the game, so wouldn't that make her a kind of hunter's Felyne companion?

Hunter Xiangling said, the loop is closed!

After seeing Xiangling and Hutao off, Wang Xuanqiao quickly packed up and headed to Pinocchio. This time, he went directly to Mockingbird and quickly completed the process of joining the Origami University Board of Governors. From that moment on, Wang Xuanqiao became one of the university's administrators.

A few days later, Pinocchio's buzzing promotional event officially came to a close. To the surprise of all involved, the company's star team and the Origami University team, two teams that had once dominated the event for 90% of the attention, withdrew from the competition for unknown reasons. The family then upgraded the "Sleepless Night" performance that had edged out those two teams.

As the three absolute favorites to win the award withdrew from the competition, the prize of the event finally fell into the hands of a team that was unexpected but reasonable to everyone.

That’s right, the final winner was the Unknown Guest Team from Starry Sky Train.

When the organizing committee invited Xing, the team representative, to give her acceptance speech, she looked a little lost. Facing the camera, she pondered for a moment, then rubbed the back of her head and uttered a startling statement:

"Mom, I'm on TV!"

The end of the promotional campaign also means that many people will continue their journeys. The Starry Sky Train will depart for Luofu Xianzhou for the Xianzhou Grand Ceremony, while Huang Quan will continue her new journey towards nothingness.

Wang Xuanqiao had come all this way to see Huang Quan off. After all, with her departure, there was no telling when she would return to the arcade. Perhaps it would be a temporary respite during her journey, or perhaps it would be the end of her journey. No one, not even Huang Quan herself, knew which answer would be.

The two of them crossed the cracks in reality together, stepping on the flowing black river and moving forward. Huang Quan, whose hair color gradually faded to dark gray, suddenly summoned Regalia. This vehicle, which was equivalent to a projection, actually maintained its existence well in this crack.

"Get in the car." Huang Quan opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat first.

Wang Xuanqiao then sat in the passenger seat, but after the car door was closed, Huang Quan simply stepped on the accelerator lightly. He did not choose to let Regalia speed across the Black River, but continued to move forward slowly.

After a moment of silence, Huang Quan spoke.

"How was your night with the other Raiden Mei?"

Wang Xuanqiao, who was originally looking ahead, immediately turned his head to look at Huang Quan with a somewhat subtle expression.

"Why do you ask this?" he asked Huang Quan.

"Maybe I'm just a little curious." Huang Quan didn't look at him. Instead, he held the steering wheel and looked at the road ahead quietly. "Even if we are in the same place, she and I are too similar in many ways."

"After receiving the set, I recalled many things. Those memories made me occasionally wonder: If only Izumo could be as lucky as Earth, and if the girls in my hometown could still carry their makeup boxes, muster up the courage to walk out into the rain, and rush under the umbrellas of their loved ones..."

"Girl from Izumo, you can do the same now." Wang Xuanqiao calmly stared at Huang Quan's profile. "Remember? We already agreed that when you reach the end of your journey, no matter where you are, I will take you home."

Regalia slowly stopped.

"I know." Huang Quan turned his face to the side and smiled silently at Wang Xuanqiao, "I know."

"I was not afraid to walk towards nothingness, because there was already nothing behind me." She said softly, slowly withdrawing her hands from the steering wheel and stroking her body.

Wang Xuanqiao glanced at the empty scenery outside the car and asked her, "Here?"

Huang Quan, however, smiled at him and replied, "You said it—girls from Izumo can do the same now."

With that, the intimate garments were undone by their owner. The arms, blossoming with crimson flowers, supported the woman's delicate, heart-baring body, climbing towards the only light and warmth in the endless cold...

The pitch-black river still flowed silently beneath the wheels, washing away the wheels. The cold, black sun at the end of this world gazed coldly at all the emptiness that was taken for granted, continuing the dead silence of this world.

Regalia was like a small boat ferrying across the River Styx, swaying gently with the flow of the black river.

The last girl in Izumo hugged the man holding her umbrella tightly. Her body, chilled by the rain, was gradually filled with a comfortable warmth, and she greedily sought that warmth.

Until - the body temperatures of two people are permanently connected, and they can no longer be separated from each other.

Huang Quan, who was riding on Wang Xuanqiao's saddle, suddenly hugged his back and shoulders tightly, and put her red lips next to his ear, breathing as sweet as orchid.

"And now I am still not afraid to walk towards nothingness, because we are closely connected."

Save the honor for the master! .jpg

Volume 265: : Luofu Fairy Boat, Come On!

After this farewell, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Wang Xuanqiao understood Huang Quan's thoughts. They weren't a sudden impulse, but rather a yearning to take something away while leaving something behind. The path she was about to embark on was no ordinary journey, but a quest to the depths of the abyss.

It was a road no one had ever trod. Perhaps someone had once walked alone beyond the limits of human knowledge, but clearly no one in the world knew their name or whereabouts. And if they could not be known, then they did not exist.

Apart from Huang Quan, who else really remembers the little unknown guest who resolutely plunged into the stagnant water?

"I am leaving."

Wang Xuanqiao helped Huang Quan put on her clothes. She held Wang Xuanqiao's hands and gently pushed him away.

"Well, have a safe trip." Wang Xuanqiao smiled and waved to Huang Quan, "I'll always keep the door open for you."

Huang Quan hugged Wang Xuanqiao one last time, then walked back to Regalia and closed the car door. Wang Xuanqiao stood there, watching as Regalia continued to sail against the pitch-black river, toward its source. Only when the black car merged with the pitch-black world did it turn and leave.

Parting with all kinds of people is an inevitable part of life. Wang Xuanqiao has long been accustomed to it, and it's hard for him to feel reluctant anymore. Because such reluctance is just self-destructive.

It is like a shackle, a shackle created by emotions, so it is stronger and more difficult to break by one's own strength.

Wang Xuanqiao shook his head and, for the first time ever, did not use the system. Instead, he opened a cross-border door himself and returned to the game hall.

It’s still better to have your own game room. Although the Big Egg, a less intelligent gadget, is a bit of a letdown, other than that, the arrangements are really in place. And honestly, the lack of games is not entirely the Big Egg’s fault.

At least it can be considered as an atonement for the hardships I have experienced in the reincarnation space, from birth to death to death to death.

Wang Xuanqiao lay back comfortably on the sofa in the rest area, took out the terminal, and prepared to ask where the train was now.

With Huang Quan's departure, the train crew naturally also departed for Luofu. Upon arrival at the Luofu Immortal Ship, the train crew split up again. Xing, Sanyueqi, and Danheng would participate in the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony held on the Luofu Immortal Ship, while Jizi and Walter would transfer to other spacecraft to the Jinlun Deepening Domain. Liuying and Pam would remain on the train.

Wang Xuanqiao didn't actually have any particular feelings about the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony. While it was a celebration, and certainly quite lively, it also involved a variety of troublesome issues.

However, Kiana wanted to go out and play, so the little trouble with the Luofu Fairy Boat didn't matter to her.

Wang Xuanqiao touched his chin and began to think about whether he should directly help the Xianzhou generals deal with Hu Lei and gain the identity of a Xianzhou VIP to make things easier for himself.

Well, forget it. Wang Xuanqiao finally rejected the idea. It was just a roar of thunder, not as significant as a phantom head.

In addition to sending a message to the train crew, Wang Xuanqiao also sent a message to Kiana, telling her to prepare to take leave.

Kiana was still taking online classes when she received the news. Because Siegfried had been transferred to the moon a while ago, Theresa had also sent Bianca there to supervise Kiana's studies.

Kiana's subconscious action of grabbing the terminal naturally did not escape Bianca's eyes. She immediately walked to Kiana's side, without saying a word, just looked at her quietly.

Kiana had no choice but to hand the terminal to her sister.

Bianca glanced at the prompt message and found that it was Wang Xuanqiao, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Study hard," she said to Kiana, "I'll ask the bishop for leave for you."

"Great! Thank you, sister!" Kiana smiled broadly at Bianca, who patted her head gently and pointed to the large screen in the study room. Dr. Tesla on the screen was folding his arms, with veins bulging on his forehead...

It was only after a while that Wang Xuanqiao received Xing's reply.

------

Xing: Thank you for the invitation. I just arrived at the Immortal Boat. Before they could say a few words, Xingchahai was attacked. Sanyue's skills are still as strong as before.

The otaku who plays games: Show some respect to March 7th and call her the great prophet.

Xing: Indeed, it’s time to offer tribute to her.

The otaku who plays games: Since I’m in Luofu, I’ll get some soda and soy milk.

star:?

Xing: Manager, she really drinks.

Otaku who plays games:?

The otaku playing games: "Perfect! Don't you have some in stock? While I'm in Luofu, I can pretend I bought them new and give them all to her."

star:?

Xing: Good idea! I'll do it when I get the chance.

------

"Why are you suddenly laughing? What happy things are you thinking about at this time?" March 7 turned his head to look at Xing who seemed to be grinning foolishly, and asked her.

"Nothing, I just chatted with the store manager for a few minutes. He asked if we had arrived in Luofu." Xing put down the terminal and replied.

"Oh, yeah, the manager seemed to have mentioned before that he wanted to bring some people to Xianzhou to play." Sanyueqi pinched his chin and recalled for a moment, then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face. "Then why don't we stop by to say hello to the manager? Otherwise, it'll be very troublesome to go through the formalities in Xianzhou."

"I think we can first discuss this with General Jing Yuan. After the Pinocchio incident, and with the combined efforts of the family and the company, I imagine the store manager has gained some fame in the world."

Dan Heng also thought about it for a while, and then suggested it to Sanyueqi and Xing.

At this time, Yan Qing, the young swordsman from the Immortal Boat who had just led the charge to chase Bu Liren, and the Cloud Cavalry Guard hurried back.
