Things developed exactly as everyone had expected.
After Grizzly said that classic line, he was defeated by Nero in a flash, faster than lightning and too quick to react. Immediately after that, another equally familiar line followed.
"Young people, so immature. The martial world values harmony, don't you understand that, Little Fish?" Siberian Duck stepped up without hesitation.
'You've got a meme? Then I'll play along!'
[Newborn Stellaron Baby: Little Fish, I advise you to think carefully and behave yourself, reflect properly!]
[See Me and You'll Get a Girlfriend: Come scam! Come on, sneak attack! Hahaha, I knew this line would show up!]
[I Use Pantene: Since Grizzly is being this stubborn, then what awaits it next is already obvious!]
[Sword Immortal: Little Fish's signature verbal assault, huh!]
[Nero's Sword: Looking at it this way, Dr. Dig is pretty impressive too, using a mortal body to make Little Fish lose his composure.]
After the match victory, the four members of the Trailblazing Squad finally reunited again.
Next, March started asking Nero some questions, such as why he didn't tell her earlier that Dan Heng was here, even though he had known all along.
In this part, a Fight Club reference appeared, but for most people, it was clearly their first time hearing about this meme.
Maybe later on, some people would get curious and go watch the movie Fight Club or look up related information.
And when faced with such a mischievous youngest sibling, March, as the older sister, didn't really scold anyone in the end, which made everyone unconsciously smile with that "auntie grin."
In the following dialogue, there was also a brief explanation about matters related to Sampo. In this part, players finally understood why Nero had been mixed up with Sampo earlier.
After that came the plot where they went to chase Sampo.
Then they saw Nero mercilessly roasting Sampo.
"Goose goose goose!" Siberian Duck laughed. "Little Fish really doesn't hold back at all, he's roasting Sampo like crazy."
[Dan Heart Eternal: I can tell now, Little Fish has Sampo completely under control.]
[Belobog Savage: Well, that can't be helped. Little Fish is so cute, of course you'd choose to forgive him!]
[Aha's Messenger: Oh, poor Sampo, being played around with by Little Fish like he's in the palm of his hand.]
After that, the plot moved on to Dan Heng trying to talk Sampo into going along with them, and Sampo being forced to lead everyone to find the Wildfire group.
But after passing through several places, they still didn't see anyone.
Along the way, they encountered quite a few novel things. While Sampo was introducing these items, the screen showed Nero taking photos of them with his phone.
"Little Fish is taking pictures again. If I'm not mistaken, after he's done, he's definitely going to send them to the big group chat on the Express," Siberian Duck analyzed.
[Lives in Garden: Like how he sent them to Mr. Yang earlier in the story? Too bad we can't see them.]
[My Heart Is Clear Like a Mirror: When is the official release going to post them? I want to see!]
[Silly Deer: +1, I want to see them too, preferably with Mr. Yang's reaction included.]
After that, Sampo continued leading the Trailblazing Squad forward, but in the end, they still didn't find anyone.
Instead, they ran into Bronya, who was surrounded.
Then Bronya was ambushed by wanderers, but Seele appeared to save the situation. At this moment, the game's camera focused entirely on these few, no Sampo, no Stelle, no Dan Heng or March, and no Nero flying around taking photos.
"Oh wow, so handsome! What I like is here!" Seeing the duo on the same screen, Siberian Duck's tone rose noticeably, and she even let out a silly "hehe" laugh.
[Where's the Driver's License: Confirmed, it's the CP I ship!]
[Shipper: Seele's waist is amazing, Duck Duck is happy again!]
As soon as the two appeared together, the bullet comments instantly surged.
Even though the plot hadn't shown much yet, players who had already been through miHoYo's "conditioning" knew in their hearts what the possible developments would be.
So much so that even the later heated debate between the two was described as a couple quarreling, playful bickering, and flirting…
———
In the vast and boundless universe, there exists such an organization. Its members are highly skilled, and in the sea of stars they passionately praise and pursue the Aeon of Pure Beauty, Idrila.
This organization is the Knights of Pure Beauty.
You probably still remember that after Nero picked up the Praise of High Moral Standards from a trash can, the system told him that he would trigger certain events. At the same time, a spaceship named "One of a Kind," piloted by a beautiful man with long red hair, quietly changed course in the starry sea.
At this moment, the One of a Kind is docked at Herta Space Station.
As for the owner of this ship, he looks exceptionally beautiful, elegant, and noble. His handsomeness and grace, his dashing looks and gentlemanly demeanor, make him seem like a character who stepped straight out of a shoujo manga.
This man is clad in silver armor trimmed with gold, wearing earrings. His body is adorned with decorations of thorns, irises, roses, and a cross-shaped star. It's as if he naturally comes with a glowing special effect, always standing at the center of the spotlight the moment he appears.
This man's name is Argenti, and he is a "Consecrated" Knight of the Knights of Pure Beauty.
Argenti travels alone through the cosmos, spreading the renown of Pure Beauty. He upholds justice, punishes evil, protects all things "beautiful," and follows the traces of Pure Beauty wherever they lead.
During one incident, he heard some stories about Jarilo-VI from an obscure planet and became curious about the resource-rich, pleasant-environment planet described in those stories, wanting to go and see it for himself.
Just from hearing the stories alone, Argenti felt that it must be a very beautiful planet, and perhaps he would find traces related to Idrila there.
As for why this Knight of Pure Beauty was at the space station right now, it was actually just a stop along the way, to see if he could replenish some supplies.
After all, no matter how powerful a Knight of Pure Beauty is, even if they can walk through the vacuum of space with their physical body, they still need to eat, drink water, treat injuries when hurt, sleep when tired, and relieve themselves when nature calls.
They can't just ignore these natural physiological needs because they happen to look good, right?
Herta couldn't be bothered with this sort of thing anyway, especially since that genius is rarely at the space station most of the time.
At this moment, that lady was probably obsessively studying the chat logs between Aha and Nero, maybe she hadn't even reached the photo section yet…
After all, those were photos of the Aeon of Elation. If she got influenced even a little, she really might go "crazy."
Herta definitely didn't want a situation where all the puppets stripped naked and started dancing at the space station.
As for Asta, compared to Herta, she was much easier to deal with. This sharp-tongued young lady received Argenti and provided him with some living supplies, as well as information related to Jarilo-VI within the space station.
And someone like Argenti would, of course, never accept kindness for free. Besides credit points, he also used some "beautiful objects" he had obtained on other planets, along with information about those planets' geography, culture, and customs, as an exchange.
At this very moment, Argenti was standing on the platform, watching the station staff refuel his ship.
Seeing such a scene, Argenti couldn't help but praise it from the bottom of his heart.
"How beautiful! People who work so diligently are the very embodiment of beauty. Every drop of sweat, every bit of effort, shines like a diamond!"
"These beautiful people, within this magnificent space station, are like countless stars, just as this station itself shines like a brilliant star in this galaxy!"
"What a beautiful place this is!"
Just as Argenti was continuously praising the space station, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline at a young age walked by.
Then the two of them both stopped, turned their heads, and looked at each other.
Whether it was Argenti or that middle-aged man, they could both see the unextinguishable passion burning in the other's eyes.
With just a single glance, both of them felt that they had found someone of their own kind.
