Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Saifeier was tasting the local specialty pomegranate juice of "Whirlwind City" when she heard this and her mind went blank. She couldn't help but spit out the pomegranate juice, which splashed all over "Steamed Bowl".

"You startled me! Don't speak so haltingly—"

Only when he saw that it was Nanuk cake did Saifei pat his chest in relief.

Sai Fei'er is no longer the ignorant 'illiterate' she was at the beginning; she may still lack some knowledge and experience.

But it has all the basic common sense.

But...no, that's not right!!!

Saifeier: "How did you get this guy to listen to you?!"

"Is it open yet? How do you play this?"

Zhu Xing: "Just good luck~ Enough with the nonsense, the offensive and defensive positions are easily secured!"

Finally, under the devastating blow of "Nanook Cake," the entire "Whirlwind City" melted away—

Chasing Stars: "Is there really no safety hazard...?"

Saifei: "Damn it~ I'll be waiting for you at the 'Chocolate Styx'!"

"Chocolate Styx"

Shrimp, playing on home turf, was defeated; Styx was steamed into hot cocoa.

Seifer: "You absolutely can't get past 'Cotton Candy Sky'! There, Bee Brocade only needs to knock you down, you don't need to defeat 'Nanook Cake'."

"Cotton Candy Sky"

The cotton candy sky was scorched by the 'sun' and turned into pure syrup. The sky fell, and the bee and brocade were defeated.

Sai Fei'er: "In the 'Steamed Pear Palace,' the 'Sodium-Shelled Shrimp' refines the steamed pears, and the resulting rock sugar pear soup can refute the truth!"

"And those thousand baskets of 'steamed buns,' served with congee and fried dough sticks, are an absolute culinary challenge; you'd have no chance of breaking through—"

"Steamed Pear Palace"

These tiny steamed buns have been transformed into pan-fried dumplings – each one is delicious and perfect for a single bite.

Rock sugar pear soup is delicious.

Finally, with "Nanook Cake" having the necessary stats for special effects, mechanics, and overall value, it truly shines.

Chasing stars, overcoming all obstacles along the way. (Actually, I can't come up with anything more abstract~)

After defeating 11 golden desserts, she arrived at the final fortress of the "King of Boiling Fire," which is also the location of her throne—the "Abyss of Boiling Fire."

Saifei: "Let's turn it off~ It's no fun, really!"

"You overcame all those hidden puzzles, plot-driven deaths, hidden characters, hidden plots, and important mission items by relying on your stats."

"Suddenly, I felt like all that brainstorming and designing before was a complete failure!"

Saifeier was somewhat frustrated.

Chasing Stars: "Hehehehe~ Surrender, 'King of Boiling Fire,' your resistance is futile against the onslaught of destruction."

As the saying goes, a high number feels good for a while, and if the number stays high, then it's good forever.

Saifeier: "No! Which of us is the villain?!"

Chasing Stars: "Hehehe~ Now it's my turn~"

Saifeier suddenly gave a sly smile: "Heh~ You don't actually think you have victory in the bag, do you~"

"I admit—that 'Nanook cake' of yours, which appeared out of nowhere, is quite something."

"But that's all~"

"And my ace, while its stats aren't particularly high, possesses an unparalleled mechanism—"

"Since you didn't solve the puzzles properly in the earlier levels and crack my ultimate technique... then you'd better accept it~"

"Even an ordinary elf might be able to defeat Star God Cake—"

"Go forth! My ace up—Aglai Duck, guardian of the abyss!"

"Then you choose to equip the 'Anti-Gravity Leather Shoes'."

"The secret treasure of the cotton candy sky—the 'Arctic Day Hyperlight Propeller'!"

The core of "Boiling Abyss"—"Endless Energy"

"The item for 'Chocolate Styx' - 'Undying Totem'"

"Finally, upgrade the equipment with 'Anti-Gravity Leather Shoes'."

Saifeier, hands on hips, scoffed, "Hmph~ At this moment, Aglaia is powerful enough to slay a god—"

Aglai Duck: "Quack quack quack" (Translation: Life is as fragile as a spider's thread)

Zhu Xing narrowed his eyes: "Then let's give it a try~"

Thus, the two supreme beings fought to the very edge of the universe, until even the Great Dao was obliterated—

The Nanook cake was pierced through, and the Agley duck turned into a roast duck.

At that moment, the starving "White Crocodile" came up and bit "Nanook Cake" with a loud thud.

In the interplay of mechanics and numerical values, the "Nanook Cake," whose true life force has been nerfed to the point of near extinction, has disintegrated and returned to "Tiramisu."

Only a single drop of strange golden blood remained on the spot, and the "White Crocodile" was also blown up.

Zhu Xing finally understood why these cat cakes could imitate the Star God.

Ultimately, under the influence of "Tiramisu", "Nanook Cake" regenerated and revived at the Golden Blood site, reuniting its biomass.

The revived "Nanook Cake" no longer follows the star chaser but instead clings to the revived "Agle Duck" and "White Crocodile".

Looking at the panel, she realized she had lost the sprite. So sad.

Fortunately, at least we've passed this hurdle.

Saifei: "What an unexpected ending that completely defies the rules of the game!"

"But congratulations on winning the strategy!"

"Go collect your 'prize', and also~ Happy Birthday."

"I should go collect my reward now—the complete limited-edition deep-sea fish set from Rosaka Star."

"See you later~ Best regards—"

The farce has come to an end. Fate is always so coincidental; even a game seems to reflect something.

In short, it's time for a young girl to receive her birthday present—

Chasing Stars: "What could it be?"

Beneath the same collapsed throne, inside the same magnificent treasure chest, was the same projector and a... key?

The projection of the Black Tower appeared: "I'm very busy right now, so let's cut to the chase~"

"Obviously, I'm too busy to attend a birthday party, even one for a doll—"

"But don't worry, the gift is ready."

"Of course, I was also too busy to think about the gift in detail."

So, I'll just give you some old clothes in a simple and straightforward way~

"However... although they are called old clothes, I have never actually worn any of them."

"After all, I have too many clothes, so many that I can't even dress up all the dolls in one day."

Chapter 487 Winery and Tea Factory

"How about I just give you a wardrobe? The clothes in this wardrobe are mostly suitable for your age and height. There are also some larger sizes, but not many."

"That key is the lock to the wardrobe."

"Alright, remember to pick up the wardrobe when you have time—"

The projection of the Black Tower disappeared, leaving only Star Chaser clutching the key.

The Black Tower's gift was actually clothes and a wardrobe.

Black Tower only mentioned clothes in her speech, completely ignoring the 'wardrobe,' as if the wardrobe outside was worthless compared to the clothes inside that Black Tower had carefully selected according to her aesthetic sense.

In fact, even the smallest item in those wardrobes is comparable in size to the "Black Tower Space Station".

After all, you can be casual about storing miscellaneous items in a warehouse, but you can't be so careless about storing clothes in a wardrobe—

Another gift has been happily received, so let's set sail again with "Steam Box"!

(Why does it suddenly feel like Star Chaser is more of a protagonist than the main character...)

Jimi?: "A thousand faces, a thousand characters—this is the world of games. Ahead lies the territory ruled by the 'King of a Thousand Faces,' under the command of the Demon King of Destruction."

"The 'King of a Thousand Faces' is unlike any other Demon King's lieutenant; it is both the most famous and the most unknown."

"Its name is known to all; no one is unaware of its existence."

"It is nameless, and no one knows of its existence."

"Legend has it that it has a thousand faces, and no one knows its true appearance. It governs its territory solely through its 'wine factories' and 'tea factories.'"

"What's truly bizarre is that no one could even detect when the 'King of a Thousand Faces' issued the order—"

Unlike the "King of Trash" and the "King of Boiling Fire," the "King of a Thousand Faces" seems to have no ambition and does not exploit the elves under his rule.

"Strangely, there's an orderly atmosphere here—"

? ? ?: "That's right~ It's me! It's me! It's definitely me—"

Fireworks: "Your favorite little fireworks~"

"Ta-da! It's an honor to be the planner for the third Demon Lord's executive level!"

"Getting past this hurdle won't be easy!"

"Fighting and killing are really boring~ You need to immerse yourself in the story and find out the true identity of the 'King of a Thousand Faces'—"

"Hey~ As long as you can't find the 'King of a Thousand Faces,' you can't crack it by brute force. Aren't I clever?"

Chasing Stars: "What if I attack indiscriminately? As long as I attack indiscriminately, I'll always hit someone who's blind!"

Hanabi: "What a tyrant! What a tyrant!"

"You're a hero! How could you do such a villainous thing?"

"And...do you still have Nanook cake?"

Chasing Stars: "..."

Ah, the feeling of using cheats is so awesome! I feel like I can't play without them...

I once had an incredibly powerful cat named Gao...

In short, the "Steamer Box" slowly sailed into the territory of the "King of a Thousand Faces," embarking on a new adventure amidst the stars.

Little Black Pagoda: "This mountain is mine! These trees are mine! If you want to pass, leave your toll!"

Chasing Stars: "???"

Hanabi: "Sigh~ The 'Tiramisu' project is still under construction and there's a serious shortage of NPCs."

"We'll have to find a puppet of Lady Black Tower to make a cameo appearance."

"Ms. Black Tower is completely unaware of this, so please don't let her find out. Otherwise, she might get angry, and my little body can't handle it."

Chasing Stars: "..."

After easily defeating the little black tower (a lackey), Chasing Star found a letter of employment from a tea factory.

Hanabi: "Oh my gosh~ This is a letter of appointment from a tea factory. It seems that some unlucky fellow was killed by bandits on his way to take up his post."

"Why don't you impersonate someone else and go to take up the post? This is a great opportunity to infiltrate the 'King of a Thousand Faces' faction and conduct an investigation!"

Could an ordinary masked fool really move the puppets of the Black Tower without being noticed? Star Chaser had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

But... let's continue with the story for now, since this is the only clue in the plot.

Zhao (the cameraman): "Hey~ You must be the new intern, 'Chasing the Light'?"
