The story continued.
After Nero and Stelle agreed to go eat delicious food on the Xianzhou someday, Nero grabbed the Trotter by its leg and shook it twice, looking regretful, regretting that the Trotter couldn't be eaten.
"Aiyo~ look at that little expression! You brat, you really do want to eat Space Trotter, huh?" Siberian Duck immediately noticed the change in Nero's expression and moved the mouse to circle around Nero's face a few times.
[Crimson Heart: I can only say, Teacher Dan Heng's reminders weren't for nothing.]
[Super Big ****: So Nero really does want to eat it.]
[Nero's Husband: Brother, your username is… interesting.]
In the game, Nero shook the Trotter, and a few pieces of stone fell out. Stelle picked them up right after.
A not-too-obvious prompt popped up on the left side of the screen, sixty Stellar Jade obtained.
"Good good good!" Siberian Duck, noticing this, said "good" three times in a row.
"Counting the sixty here, one mission gives us two hundred sixty Stellar Jade from Nero! This is definitely not something HoYoverse would normally do!"
[Nero's Sword: Praise Nero! I will call him 'Little fish from now on! Fish Clan!]
[First Adjudicator: Nero gives grandpa Stellar Jade, Nero good! Trotter won't let Nero eat it, Trotter bad!]
[Little King: Steamed Big Lord!]
[Gravity Push and Pull: Trotter: 'Bro!! That Stellar Jade fell off my body!!']
The bullet comments were filled with joy.
Running into a Trotter didn't take much time, but getting sixty Stellar Jade was naturally delightful.
Following the mission instructions, Siberian Duck moved forward and soon entered an office.
No one was inside, only a Mediterranean-balding employee.
As soon as the character walked in, a cutscene triggered.
Seeing the balding uncle immediately ask for an autograph, Siberian Duck let out a sigh.
"Aiyo, we've become a big celebrity!"
But she had barely said this when the balding uncle only asked Nero for an autograph.
"Goodness, so the big celebrity is Nero!"
Siberian Duck curled her lip. "Whether it's Wen Shiling earlier or this uncle, both seem super enthusiastic toward Nero…"
"But Nero's model is really pretty. There's this kind of delicate vibe, like he's got sparkly visual effects on him."
"Don't tell me there's actually a Nero fan club inside the space station?"
While Siberian Duck marveled at how popular Nero was, her viewers' attention was entirely on the balding uncle.
[Horror Stories: Wow! This man is so young yet already bald.]
[I Use Pantene: Look at those dark circles, look at that exhausted face, look at that rough skin, look at those eyes so tired he's about to pass out.]
[Trotter's Cousin: He's working so hard he's toiling alone in the office!]
[Oh! My Friend: Look at this poor soul. Dear god! This is literally me!]
The viewers seemed to see their own reflection in the balding staffer.
But no one knew how many of those shouting "this is literally me" were truly like him, and how many were oil-rich millionaires.
Siberian Duck obtained the Fright Maze–related data from the balding staffer and read it carefully, it was surprisingly interesting.
After asking where the two required items were located, the mission guide updated, and Siberian Duck continued forward.
Before long, she reached the second floor of the containment wing.
The moment she stepped out of the elevator, a cutscene loaded.
In the scene, Nero and Stelle stepped out, walked around the circular platform, and found the entrance to their destination.
The camera gave a close-up of the deep, shadowy corridor; the two stopped before entering, and the background music grew tense.
Chaotic footsteps, frantic screaming, and crying all mixed together, growing louder and louder, sounding extremely abrupt under the oppressive background score.
The next moment, these sounds suddenly burst into a sharp shriek. Several panicked, disoriented enemies tumbled out and scrambled desperately into the elevator.
Even though she had maintained a pretty relaxed mentality the whole time, this sudden shriek still startled Siberian Duck.
"Aiyo! Oh, so that's how you wanna play it!"
[Diapers Never Leave Me: HoYoverse is truly gifted… scared me so hard I leaked a few drops.]
[Honest Male Clinic Director: Friend, have you considered seeing a doctor? I can give you a 20% discount.]
[Hungry Enough to Fight My Dog for Food: Has that horror-movie vibe. Look at these guys rushing out, who knows how many went in and how many came out? More? Less?]
Seeing the comments drifting into horror territory, Siberian Duck suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
She bit her lip and said, "What's there to be scared of? I'm the main character! And Nero is here too! Brave Sword Immortal, fearing no hardship! Child of the Sun, nemesis of ghosts! Charge!"
Saying that, Siberian Duck followed the mission guide toward the depths of the corridor.
[Buying and Selling Small Cakes: All right all right, buff fully stacked!]
[Wants Ice Cream: Main character + kid + sunshine boy + sword immortal? Splash child urine on your hand and punch a ghost to death!]
The story continued, and everyone finally experienced the Fright Maze's nonstop taunting.
"Damn! I'm suddenly not scared anymore, guys!" Siberian Duck gritted her teeth. "This thing is so annoying, I have to beat the crap out of it!"
[Sticky Rice Cake Roll: This strange object is way too arrogant. I support controversial group beating!]
Because the Fright Maze behaved so insolently, the viewers and the streamer were united for once.
The moment they entered the maze, the eerie, strangely familiar dialogue between Nero and the Fright Maze stirred up another wave in the chat.
[Dignity-less: You've made me angry, Fright Maze!]
[Nero's Shoes: Canteen chili sauce!]
[Wear Pants: The atmosphere just became invincible!]
[Platinum Gorilla: ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!]
Inside the maze, they quickly encountered the Fright Maze's first scare, a giant Trotter.
"Hahaha, so to the Fright Maze, this thing counts as something scary?"
Siberian Duck couldn't help mocking it. After all, the Trotter's design, even enlarged, was hard to take seriously as something scary.
[Wind-type Boy Solo Stan: LMAO, the Fright Maze thinks this thing is super scary and hypes it up, and Nero and Stelle look at it like wolves seeing prey!]
[It's All HoYoverse's Fault: Nero, you broke the fourth wall! But same, I also wanna see if this huge Trotter drops any stones!]
[Nero's Small, Nice-smelling Self: Thank you for nature's gift!]
[Under One-year-old Trailblazer: Thanks Fright Maze for this super rare drop! Damn! Fake! Nothing inside!]
[I Tossed In Two Coins: Nero is right, it's fake and empty, useless!]
The Fright Maze was ruthlessly mocked.
But the second scare, a Mole Person, changed their minds.
Compared to the giant Trotter, the Mole Person was exactly what people expected of a monster, terrifying destructive power, impossible to communicate with, huge size, eerie design.
"Holy crap! I… I take back what I said, Fright Maze, you do have some ability!" Siberian Duck admitted immediately.
[Pom-Pom: I admit, this mole man really has pressure. But I still don't approve of your casual mockery!]
[Nero's Insole: Help me, Nero!]
[No Moon No Heart: Nero stepped in! One sword kill! What are you pretending for!?]
[Daily One-minute Lifting: Damn!! Our little Sword Immortal is this strong!?]
"Haha! I've got Nero, invincible! Charge charge charge!"
Seeing Nero's overwhelming strength, Siberian Duck instantly got cocky.
While furiously tapping R (using the Imaginary Overflow Field Disruptor), she charged boldly across the map.
