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

　"Well……"

　Lingmo tried her best to suppress the upward curve of her lips.

　"That's really... well, what a pity."

　"Oh, right, Silver Wolf."

　Seeing Silver Wolf already holding out Ether, Lingmo suddenly asked, "You wouldn't cheat, would you?"

　"I won't drive if I'm playing with friends, don't worry about that."

　"No, I mean..."

　Lingmo took out another Ether.

　"If you don't open it, I might!"

　"You're the one I've decided on, Benares!"

　This chapter is 3k words long, mainly because it's difficult to end it properly.

　There will be another 4k chapter tonight, meow.

　Chapter 225 Lingmo: Cricket Fireworks is trying to trick me again... Butui, who are you?

　"I'm so stupid, really..."

　"I only knew that Suzuma's ability was overpowered, and that the Ether Spirit she possessed wouldn't be weak either, but I never expected that this despicable person would actually carry the weakest Ether Spirit with her everywhere she went..."

　"whee……"

　Looking at the silver wolf projection lying limply on the table, Lingmo smiled and poked the girl's cheek.

　Sure enough, there's a reason why Black Tower likes to tease Silver Wolf; watching the little Silver Wolf get its comeuppance is truly delightful.

　"Losing is losing, stop crying and making a fuss~ At least you got a new Honkai Impact 3rd game cartridge."

　"I didn't cry and fuss!"

　Silver Wolf's lips twitched, wishing she could bite down on Ling Mo's slender fingers that kept poking her cheek.

　Unfortunately, although Lingmo could enjoy the soft touch of Silver Wolf's face through the projection using her powers, Silver Wolf couldn't use his projection to launch an equal attack on Lingmo. It's just fortunate that Lingmo didn't have any evil thoughts, otherwise, if Silver Wolf's projection fell into her hands... hmph.

　Erosion power, isn't it amazing?

　"However, I'll accept the new cartridge... Also, as punishment for using that cheating ethereal spirit earlier, tell me, what Easter eggs are in the new Honkai Impact 3 DLC?"

　"Yes, yes."

　Seeing Silver Wolf's expectant gaze, Lingmo nodded seriously: "To commemorate the 76 accounts that were banned before, Silver Wolf, I've turned them into 76 Easter Egg Honkai Beasts and placed them all over the Open World Schicksal Headquarters. If you find them all, there will be a generous reward and an Easter Egg storyline!"

　"Easter egg plot?"

　Silver Wolf immediately became interested: "I do know that the upcoming plot will most likely be related to destiny, but what is this Easter egg plot, will it affect the main storyline, and how long and relevant is it?"

　"Great, no wonder you're a veteran in the gaming industry."

　Lingmo gave a thumbs up: "Your questions are so direct and to the point."

　"That Easter egg is quite long, probably not much shorter than the current storyline... but the content is unrelated to the main plot. Just think of it as another 'what if' scenario in the game's story."

　"That sounds like a huge, filling meal..."

　Silver Wolf's lips twitched slightly: "Fortunately, I don't have that much to do in the next script, but poor Firefly... I'm afraid she'll have to stay up all night playing games."

　"Ah, speaking of fireflies..."

　Lingmo asked with some interest, "How is her physical condition now?"

　"Physical condition? What physical condition... Ah, you mean entropy loss syndrome?"

　Silver Wolf slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot, your sources of information are also very mysterious... but you even know that?"

　"Don't worry, she won't die anytime soon. As long as she strictly follows her fixed 'exit time' every day, she should be fine for at least a few years... After that, it's hard to say."

　"That's it..."

　Lingmo pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's not rush it..."

　"in a hurry?"

　"No, it's okay."

　Lingmo scratched her head: "I was just thinking, is there any way to cure her this illness?"

　“Oh, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten that you too have received abundant blessings.”

　Silver Wolf shrugged: "However, you should probably hold off on that for now. Let's not even talk about whether the abundant power of destiny can cure entropy loss while preserving both consciousness and body..."

　"Don't forget, because of the Blade, I think most members of the Star Core Hunters probably have a considerable degree of resistance to things like the Blessing of Abundance."

　"That's true..."

　Lingmo smiled slightly.

　Actually, she didn't intend to use the Blessing of Abundance or the power of destiny to help Liuying. The method she came up with... was the Black Abyss White Flower.

　According to the theory of Honkai Impact, the Black Abyss White Flower can only heal organic life forms. The treatment method is to replicate and forward compile the genetic map of the organic life form, such as Ai-in and Tesla, who have no lifespan limit thanks to the Black Abyss White Flower.

　The entropy loss syndrome of fireflies can be considered a kind of genetic "defect" to some extent. If the cause is this, even if Black Abyss White Flower cannot completely cure it, it can at least significantly delay the onset of the disease.

　Who knows, it might be able to shield a firefly from a knife in the future.

　Lingmo pondered with a rather optimistic attitude.

　……

　"Clang! One badge added!"

　In the afternoon, Suzumo, who had re-entered Belleburg via the boundary anchor, successfully reunited with the two at the Goethe Hotel.

　"Wow, that's amazing."

　In March, he clapped his hands perfunctorily.

　"Ok?"

　At this moment, Hoshino, who was rubbing against Lingmo all over, noticed something was wrong.

　"Rinmo, Rinmo, why do you smell like the Black Tower?"

　"?"

　Lingmo blinked, looking completely bewildered: "My dear Xingbao, you can smell that?"

　"A star core, isn't that amazing?"

　Xing proudly put her hands on her hips.

　"I wasn't complimenting you... Besides, how do you know the taste of Black Tower so well?"

　"Because, I often roll around with that black tower doll on the train when I have nothing to do!"

　"Okay, now I know why the Black Tower didn't often send its consciousness into that body later on."

　Lingmo covered her face, deciding to drag the soft and cute little March to draw the fire for her.

　However, March 7th didn't give her that chance at all. After seeing that the frustrated Lingmo seemed to be searching for her next target, she quickly used the excuse of choosing photos to sneak back into her room.

　"Hmph, so even March won't be able to help you now?"

　Xing revealed an "evil" expression: "Elbow, come inside with me!"

　"Sister Xing, no!"

　Since it wasn't too late yet, and considering that Lingmo's legs were already a bit weak, she felt that if Xing dragged her into the room now, she probably wouldn't even have the strength to go out for dinner that night. So, Lingmo quickly activated her ability and temporarily escaped from the Goethe Hotel.

　As for what to do when I get home tonight... well, I'll leave that to myself to figure out later.

　"As for now... shall we go for a stroll around the area?"

　……

　Meanwhile, just as Suzumo began randomly spawning within the city of Beloborg, on the other side, a somewhat bewildered girl was also wandering around the central area of ​​Beloborg, looking left and right.

　To be precise, he was wandering around in the guise of a silver wolf.

　As for why this happened, we have to go back to the day before...

　"Uh, so... this is the fun little toy you were talking about, the one your friend gave you?"

　Looking at the mysterious little button that Silver Wolf handed her, which resembled the controller of some kind of electric toy, Firefly's expression was somewhat strange.

　"To be precise, the official name of this thing is a one-click transformation item. It was given to me by a masked fool. She said it was a bonus for reaching a cooperation agreement and told me to take it and play with it as I pleased."

　Silver Wolf casually tossed the strange little button in his hand and said, "As for why I have a Masked Fool friend, and what kind of cooperation we have... don't ask, Elio forbids me to say, it's written in the script."

　"All right……"

　Firefly took the small button from Silver Wolf's hand and asked curiously, "Silver Wolf, why didn't you keep it for yourself?"

　"Because this thing is useless to me."

　Silver Wolf sighed, took the button from Firefly's hand, and pressed it.

　"Uh...it seems like nothing has changed?"

　"That's right, no."

　Silver Wolf shrugged: "Because this little button can only change into my appearance, and it's only a visual effect, not an actual transformation."

　"Although in most cases it is indeed undetectable... it's really strange that I would go out for a walk on my own when I have nothing better to do."

　"So... this is for you."

　"But even if I take this thing, it doesn't seem to be of any use..."

　Liu Ying hesitated for a moment before taking the button: "After all, we're both wanted criminals in the company..."

　“It’s useful. For example, right now, Elio didn’t say what was in your script, but I’ve brought you to a place close to the stars, so you can use my projection to go out and wander around.”

　Silver Wolf gave a thumbs up: "Don't worry, I've checked. There's no problem with the sound or vision. The only issue is that we're different heights, so if someone bumps into you, there might be a slight misalignment in your visual height... But just be careful about that."

　"so……"

　Firefly, now in the form of a silver wolf, sighed on a sofa by the street: "Even though I'm out here, I don't really know where to go..."

　"Huh? Wait..."

　As the girl wandered aimlessly, the Grammer veteran's exceptional eyesight allowed Firefly to quickly spot a somewhat familiar figure.

　"That's... Suzumo?"

　The fireflies immediately became interested.

　After all, Elio's script only said that she shouldn't meet Hoshino directly before Pinocchio, but it didn't say that she couldn't meet Suzuma!

　Besides, she's still using the Silver Wolf's appearance, and this disguise from the Masked Fool isn't an electronic component, so Suzuma's abilities shouldn't be able to detect anything.

　Moreover, although she doesn't know Silver Wolf's hacking skills, her gaming skills are much better than Silver Wolf's. In short... based on her understanding of her companion, Firefly believes that cosplaying Silver Wolf in a short time shouldn't be a problem.

　So, driven by her curiosity about Suzumo herself, Ryuhoshi began to walk towards Suzumo's location.

　Let's return to Suzumo's perspective.

　"Huh? That's... a silver wolf?"

　Just as the "Silver Wolf" was walking towards her, Suzumo also noticed this uninvited guest at the same time.

　However, compared to Liu Ying's excitement, she was mostly filled with doubt.

　After all, strictly speaking, she had only parted ways with Silver Wolf a few hours ago, and judging from the girl's expression at the time, it didn't seem like she wanted to return to Yalilo VI immediately. She probably wanted to stay at the space station for a while longer and exchange a few blows with Black Tower.

　Therefore, the identity of this silver wolf who appears here is quite obvious...

　"Hum..."

　Suzuma scoffed, "It seems that the 'punishment game' I played last time didn't leave a deep impression on Hanabi... Is she back to challenge me again?"

　"Fortunately, I thoroughly studied her body last time and found her weakness... Hehe, when she relaxes later..."
