Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

As expected of a land god among mortals, he was truly omnipresent. Yulandel rubbed her head, grabbed a hair, transformed it into a burning incense stick, and placed it on the altar.

She searched around the Earth God Temple again. She had already glimpsed a number of 'treasure chests' when she entered. After offering incense to the Earth God, it was time to open the chests.

It's just that...the treasure chests in this place are really strange in shape. Yulandel opened two treasure chests, and their lids fell to the ground without exception, making a low, muffled sound, which made her feel a little weird.

But a treasure chest is still a treasure chest after all, and Yulandel will not let it go. Even if it turns into a monster...it is even more impossible to let it go.

After searching the yard, Yulandel walked towards the closed gate. She pushed it open and saw a familiar head walking around the yard behind the gate.

So that's it? No wonder it lingers.

Youlan Daier stepped forward with her stick in hand, and the original owner of the wronged soul in the courtyard also raised his palm and said softly -

"Amitabha."

But then, it was——

"Disciples! Another master from outside is here, bringing me a new treasure!"

——The author has something to say——

But do you still remember Yuanshang?

[Stop, stop! If you hit me again, I'll be in trouble!]

When I saw the scholar in white shouting "Wait a minute" after being defeated, I immediately thought that this man was about to give in. Unexpectedly, he was an undercover agent, but he didn't say who the boss was. He just mentioned the matter of Elder Jin Chi and ran away.

What's more, what he said, or rather the lines said by many characters in Heimalou, are actually more or less strange. I don't know if it's misleading information or what. In short, it makes people a little confused about what our Tianming people are trying to do.

Volume 140: : Black Wind Mountain Speedrun Black Bear Demon, Bianca gets new skills

Yulandel didn't quite understand what Buddha was or what monk was, nor did she care much.

Elder Jin Chi could be a greedy villain wearing a monk's robe, or even grow a tail and turn into a monster. It doesn't matter because there is no causal connection between him and her.

But Youlan Daier really couldn't stand it. This Jin Chi said she smelled foul! Even though she knew in her heart that the big head was actually talking about the monkey, she could still tolerate it as an uncle but not as an aunt.

Youlan Daier attacked in anger for the first time in the game, beating Elder Jin Chi to the ground. He finally cried out, "I don't want the cassock anymore, I don't want the cassock anymore!", and then turned into ashes and disappeared with the wind.

The word "cassock" brought back some memories for Youlan Daier. Wang Xuanqiao had told her that Elder Jinchi had once coveted the cassock worn by Tang Sanzang, so he believed his disciple's plot and ultimately caused a fire that reduced the temple to ash.

So, it still hasn't realized its mistake? So the ghost is still wandering this place?

Yulan Daier was about to use the gourd to liberate Elder Jinchi, but she found she had no chance. When Elder Jinchi's wronged spirit completely dissipated, the secret realm formed by his obsession also dissipated.

After returning to the ancient bell courtyard, Youlandel began to think.

In fact, she could more or less sense that this game was trying to convey a certain idea. She remembered what the scholar in white had said: If the roots of greed are not uprooted, the tree of suffering will always remain.

Could it be related to her search for the Great Sage's Six Roots? Youlan Daier speculated.

However, she wasn't the type to just sit there and speculate. Since the first set of 'Six Roots' was on Black Wind Mountain, if she could get one of the six roots, she would naturally have a clue.

Yulandel continued on her journey, gathering resources along the way. Unfortunately, even after meeting the Black Wind King, she hadn't encountered anyone who could bless her weapon, so she had no choice but to pick up her long staff and fight the Black Wind King, who had transformed into a red-faced monk.

When King Black Wind accused her of destroying the rebuilt Zen temple, Yulandel felt completely baffled.

Whether it was the old or new Zen temple, she felt that they were not good things. Not to mention Elder Jinchi who coveted other people's cassocks, that beast-like Lingxuzi, and the demons and monsters everywhere, let them be destroyed...so let them be destroyed.

The Black Wind King fought with Yulandel for dozens of rounds. He used the method of gathering and dispersing energy to disrupt her judgment countless times, but in the end he still missed a move and was defeated by the stick.

The Black Wind King immediately threatened to fight again on the top of the mountain, then turned into a ball of black wind and ran away.

Yulandel was about to give chase when the Earth God reappeared. He first grumbled at the Black Wind King's lack of skill, then, using the Black Wind King's remaining vitality, he taught Yulandel the method of gathering and dispersing energy.

With her new magic, Youlan Daier felt more confident. She immediately climbed the mountain, bathed in the afterglow of the red sun that slanted towards the abyss, and fought her way to the pagoda on the top of the mountain.

There was a huge fire burning around the pagoda. Suddenly, a black whirlwind rushed out from the flames, passed over the top of the mountain, circled the top of the tower, and turned into a huge black bear with wild laughter, and landed heavily in front of Youlandel.

Yulandel discovered that the black bear had a cassock wrapped around its waist.

So that's how it is. The one who stole the cassock from Elder Jinchi was not Sun Wukong, but you.

This made Youlandel a little curious about what kind of story "Journey to the West" was. Even the ownership of a piece of clothing seemed to be related to a lot of causes and effects.

So who is causing trouble in Black Wind Mountain?

Let’s fight again!

With the help of the dual spells of immobilization and gathering and dispersing energy, Youlan Daier was no longer constrained by the Black Wind King and began to launch a continuous and fierce attack. Although the Black Bear Demon relied on its thick body and the support of fire to hold out for a long time, it was still no match for Youlan Daier and was defeated.

However, he still had evil intentions and transformed into a black whirlwind in an attempt to take away the golden light from the pagoda and escape.

But the black wind, wrapped in the golden light, flew for only a moment before it plummeted to the ground like a bird with broken wings. The black wind transformed back into a black bear, and instead began to plead with Youlan Daier for his life.

"Little Saint, spare me! I was also coerced by the Heavenly Court. If I had no choice, who would be willing to attack the Plague God who caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace?"

Heaven...

When the Black Bear Demon mentioned Heaven, Youlan Daier recalled the story at the beginning of the game. The Monkey King was pursued by the Heavenly Court's army, and was ultimately defeated by Erlang Shen after being ambushed.

So Heaven is also an enemy, she thought.

The Earth God also appeared here, testifying on behalf of the Black Bear Demon. However, he was not there to speak for the Black Bear Demon, but to urge Youlan Daier to stop listening to the Black Bear's nonsense and to quickly look at the relics left by the Great Sage.

As if sensing Yulandel's will, the golden light beside the black bear demon suddenly transformed into a bird, flapping its wings and flying to her side, landing in her arms. And in the bird's pupils, Yulandel saw a story...

A young monk was walking in the mountains when he met a black bear. He thought he was going to die, but the bear unexpectedly brought him a treasure, which he used to become an elder in the temple.

Then, one day, a monk suddenly arrived from the East. He brought with him a cassock the elder had never seen before, which piqued the elder's desire. As a result, the cassock was lost, the temple burned down, and the elder himself died.

The black bear demon, who had escaped the disaster by chance and was enlightened by the gods, knelt before his new master.

He asked: Monks have severed their worldly ties and have dried up their sea of gold, so why can't the elder let go of a piece of clothing?

The new master replied: If I don’t put on this dress, how will sentient beings know that my worldly ties are severed and my golden sea is dry?

The story of Black Wind Mountain ends here.

Yulandel recalled the last part of the story, quit the game, and reached out to take off her helmet.

At the same time, the system also sent a reminder of the settlement reward.

"How is it? Is the reward what you want?" Wang Xuanqiao asked.

Yulandel looked at the system prompt and her expression was a little subtle for a moment.

The reward was neither a spell of immobilization nor a spell of gathering and dispersing energy. In any case, it was not any spell. Even the explanation was a little confusing.

"Manager, what is [Eye Without Obstacles]?" She had no choice but to turn around and ask Wang Xuanqiao.

Wang Xuanqiao opened the system store and began searching for keywords. He felt that he had become quite proficient at this job and that one day he might even be able to become the grandfather of a ring.

So, what is [Eyes without Obstacles]?

[Unobstructed Eyes]: If seeing with both eyes brings joy, then all illusions will disappear. Rather, look at the mountains, the water, and then yourself. Only by finding your true self can you break free from delusion. Note: Each item is ineffective when owned alone. Please gather the complete set as soon as possible.

Oh my goodness, the third type of reward has appeared!

Wang Xuanqiao checked and discovered that Yulandel had acquired a unique "suit skill" that had never been seen before. Unlike the advanced skills Hu Tao and Kiana had acquired, or the growth-type skills Zhongli and Bronya had acquired, this "suit skill" required the entire set to unleash its full power.

This meant that Yulandel had to collect the remaining four skills to truly receive this reward. Otherwise, she would only be able to pick up some useless little boosts.

However, this is reasonable. After all, it's not surprising to think of a dark wizard being divided into five cards.

"It seems you need to fully master the Black Myth." Wang Xuanqiao said to Youlan Dai'er earnestly, "Perhaps you will receive the Great Sage's inheritance."

"Eh? Speaking of which, Manager, does not reading Journey to the West significantly affect my ability to play this game?"

Yulandel finally got the chance and asked the question she had always wanted to ask in the game.

There were indeed many things she didn't quite understand. The game was filled with many cultural symbols, which were like one puzzle after another to the uninitiated Shinobu.

While she could completely ignore these things and just play Black Myth like a normal game—fighting enemies and taking supplies, just like she had done not long ago—Yulandel felt that this wasn't the way to go.

If the game is truly trying to convey something to you, you should listen. Even if the end result is a conflict of ideas, at least you should listen to that voice.

Yulandel believes that those voices can be accepted or refuted, but they should never be ignored.

"There will probably be some impact." Wang Xuanqiao quickly recalled the scenes he had just seen. "Like the stories of Elder Jin Chi and the Black Bear Demon, if you haven't read Journey to the West, it's a bit confusing. Especially the story of Guanyin and the Black Bear Demon at the end when she obtains one of the Six Roots. If you don't understand it, it might be a bit difficult to understand."

"But if you really want to learn more about Journey to the West, I have a book I can lend you. It's the vernacular version I bought when I was a kid, and it's easier to understand than the original classical Chinese version."

Yulandel's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Is that okay? I'll trouble you, manager."

"It's just a small matter. You don't seem like the kind of person who wouldn't take good care of books, so I feel safe lending it out."

Wang Xuanqiao stood up, led Youlandel up to the second floor, and walked straight into his room.

On the bookshelf, the four classics in vernacular Chinese, which I have read many times, still stand quietly on the top shelf. Rather than books, they are actually more like memories stored in the bookshelf.

Wang Xuanqiao took out the copy of Journey to the West and found that the cartoon stickers he had stuck on it when he was a child were still on the cover. He couldn't help but chuckle and sigh.

"Here. I'll lend you "Journey to the West", Youlandel." He gently held the book in his hand and handed it to Youlandel.

"Thank you." Yulandel took "Journey to the West" with both hands, and saw the cartoon character stickers on the book.

Her expression became much softer, and even the corners of her mouth rose slightly unconsciously.

"Oh right..." Yulandel suddenly said, "Well, actually, the manager can call me Bianca! Because... you are willing to lend me this book, I think we should be friends, right?"

——The author has something to say——

PS: I still remember to add more chapters! Don't worry! I will definitely add more chapters if I say so. I won't renege on it!

Volume 141: : Jade's Pre-Meeting Conversation

Bianca?

This name... honestly, isn't common. Ever since she'd used her body to hold the world bubble, the name Yulandel had accompanied this girl. Even Otto once joked about giving the Valkyrie a Yulandel-level strength rating.

However, this does not mean that Yulandel has abandoned the name Bianca, but the four words "Yulandel" may better represent her own will.

So what does 'Bianca' stand for?

Wang Xuanqiao thought about the "Journey to the West" he had given out and understood the answer.

"If you want to start reading now, you can go to the second floor. The first floor is still a game room, so it might not be a good place for quiet reading," Wang Xuanqiao said to Bianca. "If you want something to drink, you can go to the kitchen and get it. There's something in the refrigerator and cabinets."

Just as he finished speaking, the terminal in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Wang Xuanqiao took it out and saw that it was a message from the train crew.

The company's big shot in charge of negotiations finally arrived at Pinocchio.

The first thing this big shot did after arriving was to secretly contact the Star Train, hoping to reach a consensus and achieve cooperation on the Pinocchio incident.

Ji Zi and Walter immediately informed Wang Xuanqiao. If this negotiation was to involve the Starry Sky Train, there was no way they could bypass him, the one who had directly exposed the conspiracy.

After reading the message, Wang Xuanqiao knew that he had to go to Pinocchio again.

However, if he goes this time, it can be regarded as his official appearance in front of the major forces in the galaxy, and from then on he will become a well-known figure in that vast galaxy.

"I have to go out for something." Wang Xuanqiao put away the terminal and looked at Bianca. "If anyone comes looking for me, please tell them I'm out. If it's urgent, just send a message."

After saying that, without waiting for Bianca's response, he quickly ran downstairs and followed the train crew's invitation to re-enter Pinocchio through the sensor door.

The Galaxy's renowned Grand Hotel seemed to have quickly recovered from the disaster, even returning to normal operations. The Twelve Hours in the Dream Realm had also reopened, albeit on a limited basis, after the Hidden Thrush family's relentless repairs.

In short, after some patching up, the Pinocchio ship finally set sail again.

Ji Zi met Wang Xuanqiao at the hotel. After Wang Xuanqiao greeted the two, he followed them to the company's meeting place.

Seeing that this big shot from the company did not hide his feelings from the eyes and ears of his family, he was obviously very confident and had a feeling of winning.

On the way, Ji Zi took the opportunity to explain the current situation to Wang Xuanqiao. With the support of the branch family in the Montor system, the family finally gained control of the situation. The Oak family had completely lost power, and the current leader of Pinocchio was Old Odi, the head of the Clover family.

Liuying also awakened from her slumber. Although she had joined the Star Train, she had not yet completely bid farewell to her former identity as a Star Core Hunter. Liuying seemed to be handling this matter now, but she did not allow others to interfere.

The two talked as they walked and soon reached their destination.

Wang Xuanqiao met the big shot of the company, who was none other than Feicui.

"Hello, both of you. Thank you for coming."

Feicui came to greet them personally, and among the entourage was Topa, so they were all acquaintances.

"Hello, Ms. Jade." Ji Zi stepped forward and said, "Let me introduce you, this person next to me is..."

"You're the gentleman who ended the farce of order, right? It's an honor to meet you. Shajin mentioned your idea to me." Jade smiled and nodded slightly in greeting. "I agree with you. Business always requires mutual benefit to succeed."

After that, she led the two of them into the conversation venue.
