I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　Lingmo looked around and then found a large box not far away. It looked like this was Xing's favorite thing to smash with a baseball bat.

　"Car, get in!"

　"We are all-powerful!"

　"automobile!"

　To Giovanni's astonishment, the car, which had suddenly grown several times larger, excitedly smashed the poor wooden box.

　“Is this right?”

　"That's right, that's right."

　Lingmo nodded repeatedly: "Actually, the true size of the tank-class Honkai Beast is much larger than this enlarged version."

　"...Never mind, Miss Suzumo, you pass."

　To prevent Lingmo from creating anything too outrageous, Giovanni decisively decided to let Lingmo use this Aether Spirit, which didn't seem too outrageous, for the competition.

　"Okay!"

　-

　-

　-

　Sadly, because I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, I accidentally fell asleep after getting home today. I'll finish the rest of the bounty tomorrow, meow.

　In addition, it is estimated that another round of bounties will be launched on October 1st or 2nd, taking advantage of the last few days of the event, so dear readers, remember to save your monthly tickets for next month?

　Chapter 224 Lingmo: My dear wolf, if you don't open it, I'm going to open it, okay?

　"The Masked Fool... Suzuma, is this Mr. Giovanni really a member of the Masked Fools?"

　After Giovanni finished explaining the competition rules and left, March 7th immediately asked curiously.

　"Yes, that's right. He should be the most flamboyant Masked Fool in the universe. He's a masked tycoon from the Apselon star system, a famous investor. Nobody knows how much he has... Oh, by the way, if you're unfamiliar with Apselon, let me give you a little hint."

　Lingmo struck a familiar pose.

　"That man singing who often appears in various scam videos is from this galaxy."

　"Tsk, that really gives me a sense of déjà vu..."

　Having been fooled by Suzuma several times, Hoshi couldn't help but complain, "By the way, so what he just said, that Belloberg has more than three Masked Fools, is also true?"

　"it is true."

　Lingmo nodded: "One is him, and the other is Hanabi, who pretended to be Toppa to deceive us before. As for the remaining two... I can't say the name of one, and the other one will definitely not appear in front of you."

　"In short, although the Masked Fool may not have a good reputation, the path of pleasure is actually a positive one... so you don't need to worry about them causing any damage to Belloberg."

　"Okay, let's not look into this for now."

　Holding the Ether, March 7th said with some distress, "However, according to Mr. Giovanni..."

　"To participate in the Grand Finale, you first need to collect all the badges in the four Grand Finale Parks... Only then can you qualify for the finals."

　"But these four Decisive Paradises are too far apart, aren't they? It's one thing for the two in Beloborg to be local, but why are the other two on the Immortal Ship and the other on the Black Tower Space Station... Is this really a route that an ordinary person can complete?"

　Is it possible that we weren't ordinary people to begin with?

　Xingbao, hands on hips: "We have a boundary anchor!"

　"Actually, this can be considered a selection process, right? To screen out the contestants who can enter the finals... And perhaps this is just a special threshold that Mr. Giovanni set up because we are unknown guests?"

　Lingmo guessed.

　"However... I do have some solutions."

　"Eh?"

　March 7th's eyes lit up: "Tell me about it?"

　“We’ll split up – Giovanni wants Xing to gradually challenge all the parks, partly to let her become familiar with the games and cultivate a powerful ether spirit, and partly to let us know what this mysterious piggy bank ether spirit is all about.”

　"And my abilities are just right to directly investigate the situation of this piggy bank. As for the Ether Spirit... even if Cheche doesn't need any training, he's probably already able to sweep the competition. So, how about I go and solve a difficult challenge in the Final Paradise for you?"

　"Uh, this..."

　Around March 7th, he glanced at it and whispered, "Isn't this against the rules?"

　"Don't worry, you have to trust Xing's abilities, and also trust the effectiveness of my powers~"

　Lingmo winked playfully: "It's a piece of cake to bypass the company's cheat detection, modify the data, and hand over the badges I obtained to you."

　"Oh, and take this too."

　At this point, Lingmo suddenly seemed to remember something, took out a black card from her pocket, and handed it to March 7.

　"I've upgraded the black card you used in Belleburg for speed decryption. Now it works on most of the ordinary mechanisms on the Immortal Boat."

　"It can also work on the mechanisms of the immortal ship?"

　Before March could even speak, Xingxian astutely caught Lingmo's thoughts: "Lingmo, are you planning to go to the Duel Paradise at the Black Tower Space Station?"

　"You got it right?"

　Lingmo smiled and squinted her eyes.

　"Really?"

　Xing's expression turned strange: "You're not trying to...seduce Black Tower, are you?"

　"Eh! Is this a topic that can be discussed in public?!"

　March 7th exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, did I hear something I shouldn't have heard?"

　"First of all, I don't need to go to such lengths to get a badge for a cricket."

　Lingmo held up one finger: "Secondly..."

　"Hehe, now that Little March has discovered the secret, we have no choice but to capture the adorable Little March and lock her in the basement too, shall we?"

　"Ah! I'm so scared..."

　Miyuki delivered a monotone, emotionless reply: "Be careful, or I might unleash my hidden power to deal with you! Although I don't yet know what hidden power I possess..."

　"In short, leave the Black Tower to me, you just need to complete the remaining three tasks."

　Lingmo tossed the ether coins containing the toy car in her hand: "Leave the space station to me~"

　After one hour.

　"so……"

　Black Tower Space Station, in the office.

　While kneading the soft, fair face of the pink-fuzzy ball nestled in her arms, Lady Black Tower said speechlessly, "Is this how you come to exchange badges?"

　"correct."

　Lingmo, who was snuggling against Black Tower's chest, said with a satisfied look, "In the electronic realm, which Ether Spirit can beat me... Ah, no, I can't say that. I should say that as a version counter-innovator, my strength today is entirely due to my own efforts and has nothing to do with the strength of the Ether Spirit."

　Black Tower almost burst out laughing: "A version-obsessed player, huh? Interesting..."

　"Your little guy is indeed quite cute, but... why does it keep tugging at my boots?"

　"Maybe he thinks you're bullying me."

　Lingmo said with feigned seriousness, "In this situation, all I need to do is let me bully you a little, and Cheche will understand what's going on."

　"?"

　Black Tower raised an eyebrow slightly: "It seems that letting you run around everywhere lately has made you a bit arrogant... I have to punish you now."

　"Huh? Wait, the car's still watching... um~"

　"Car, car?"

　Seeing its owner suddenly being attacked by this flat-chested woman, and even starting to cry out in "pain," Cheche quickly ran out to try to find some reinforcements for its owner.

　"Alright, little one, stop running around."

　Then it was captured by another smaller creature.

　"Don't worry, your master is fine, and they're not fighting... well, saying they're fighting isn't entirely wrong."

　"Car, car?"

　"Anyway, you should stay here with me for a while."

　Silver Wolf, who was practically turning into a lonely frog, sighed: "Seriously, how come even coming to urge for an update results in being fed a mouthful of high-quality dog ​​food..."

　……

　Two hours later, Lingmo, now dressed in a new dress and white stockings, walked limply out of Black Tower's office and returned to her room.

　This time, it was Black Tower's inability to control the situation; it had absolutely nothing to do with her! We will definitely win next time!

　Lingmo comforted herself.

　"Hey, are you back?"

　However, when Lingmo returned to her dormitory, an uninvited guest was already waiting for her in the room.

　"Silver Wolf?"

　"Yeah... What, you're not welcoming me?"

　Silver Wolf sat with his legs crossed in front of Lingmo's computer desk, playing games with great ease.

　"Of course you're welcome, but Silver Wolf, what are you doing here?"

　"I'm also a player of the Etherfront, so naturally I want to get a badge too... Don't worry, don't look at me with those weird eyes, I didn't cheat."

　"Really?"

　Lingmo's lips twitched, and she pointed to the "stick figure" on her computer screen that was visible through several buildings: "Then what is this...?"

　"This is about perseverance and hard work."

　"Huh?"

　"Cough cough..."

　Silver Wolf quickly ended the game and cleared his throat: "We'll talk about the Ether Front later. Actually, the reason I came here is to..."

　"Want more updates?"

　Lingmo tilted her head and spoke first.

　"You're pretty savvy."

　Silver Wolf extended his hand: "Hey, Suzumo, your days of delaying Honkai Impact 3rd updates are over... Bring me the game card."

　"If you want it, then come and get it yourself. You know the rules."

　Lingmo readily caught Silver Wolf's joke and took out an Ether Coin.

　"Oh? You're going to launch an Ether front?"

　Silver Wolf immediately became interested: "I've been playing this game for a long time, you know?"

　"It's okay, I'm a master of special skills."

　Lingmo raised her fist: "Even as a counter-trend player, I will sweep away all opponents with my skills and level!"

　"That……"

　Silver Wolf swiftly picked up a passing car: "Then you're not allowed to use this."

　"automobile?"

　Cheche shook his head, puzzled.

　"Uh……"

　Lingmo blinked: "Are you sure you want to ban my car?"

　"Of course, don't think I haven't done anything during this time."

　Silver Wolf said proudly, "While you were being all lovey-dovey with that woman, I had already thoroughly inspected your car's box!"

　"Based on that pure numerical value, it's not just a version-defying champion, it's a super-large cup even among the overlord-level Ether Spirits... So, Ban!"
