Himeko A showed a look of realization. No wonder this dog developer... ahem, the Emanator of "Truth" would know the information here immediately.
It turns out there was a pair of eyes peeking from above just now!
"She still can't break that bad habit of peeking everywhere... It seems I'll have to have a talk with the big, cute Cyrene~♪"
Elysia crossed one arm over her chest and tapped her cheek, a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes as she spoke in a lighthearted tone.
Soon, a sweating emoji popped up in front of her, followed by a chibi Bonnia jumping out and striking a "pretty please" pose.
"Pfft... just teasing you~♪"
Elysia reached out and poked the chibi Bonnia, smiling radiantly.
Welt's face darkened at the sight, and he kept pushing the frames of his glasses to hide his embarrassment.
Old Yang looked at Welt with a subtle gaze, his wide eyes seemingly questioning him.
This is it...?
Adding a few more firewalls...?
How can the me in this world be so weak!
Old Yang couldn't bear to watch anymore; he had acted so confident just now that he almost believed him.
It's such a disgrace to the Herrscher of Reason, though he himself often does "sit-ups" too...
Just as Welt was so embarrassed he was frantically pushing his glasses, Stelle's slightly naive and confused voice rang in his ear:
"Other Uncle Yang, your firewall doesn't seem very good. It's like some kind of membrane that breaks with a single poke."
"..."
Welt's eye twitched slightly. He looked at Old Yang, constantly signaling for help, but...
Old Yang covered his forehead and looked away, pretending not to see.
"The officials are issuing us equipment, so does that mean we've already qualified for the competition?"
Dan Heng held the game terminal and looked at the chibi Bonnia in Elysia's hand.
Everyone from the parallel universe Astral Express has already secured their spots due to General Taiyin, and the equipment won't be charged for..."
Little Bonnia nodded first, then paused slightly before continuing:
"As for the fee, how about letting Bonnia install an inconspicuous little object on your Astral Express?"
Bonnia thought about how another universe also had a Nous, and it should be a parallel world where General Taiyin didn't exist...
So she wanted to observe the "Erudition" of the neighboring universe through the Astral Express. If possible, she would then use the object installed on the train to plant her virus into Nous.
She couldn't be the only one who became like this. As long as there was a Nous within her sight, they should all be duck-ified together!
Jie jie jie~~~
You were just about to say it's free of charge...
Definitely...
March 7th squinted her eyes and stared suspiciously at Bonnia, but the latter maintained that blank expression, making March 7th doubt for a moment if she had misheard.
Pom-Pom B looked up at Bonnia, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement:
"As long as it's something that doesn't harm the Express or its passengers, it's fine, pom."
Thinking about it, someone under Kiana's jurisdiction shouldn't do anything out of line. Even if he didn't trust Bonnia, he could still trust Kiana.
"Good, I swear in the name of 'Truth' that Bonnia will not do anything to harm the Astral Express ξ†(ᗜ ˰ ᗜ)†ξ"
Chibi Bonnia gave Pom-Pom a thumbs-up, with a sparkling star effect appearing at the corner of her eye.
Dan Heng watched Bonnia's goofy behavior, his eye twitching. His cool, icy god-like image almost crumbled.
"Notification complete. Bonnia is going back now. Ja ne~"
With that, Bonnia summoned a child-sized bicycle and pedaled away backwards until the projection shrank to its smallest and disappeared.
"It's hard to imagine that Nous actually has such a side..."
Even Himeko B felt that the Nous here was too eccentric, completely different from the Nous she knew from the records.
"But she's even cuter this way, isn't she~?♪"
"Indeed. Perhaps this is also one of the possibilities among many calculations? Just as there is more than one path of Trailblaze."
Himeko B and Himeko A nodded in agreement. Compared to a cold calculating machine, this Bonnia was clearly cuter.
Beep beep—
Welt's jade sign chimed with a notification. He instinctively pulled it out to check, and a message popped up.
Pushing his glasses, Welt read it carefully to himself and then looked at everyone:
"The map for the first round of the competition will be one of five randomized maps: Pier Point, Glamoth Empire, Talia, Izumo, or Warahip."
"Glamoth and Izumo... aren't they already..."
"The maps were completed with the help of relevant individuals. According to them, the restoration is nearly 100%, saying it gave them the feeling of returning home."
Himeko A explained to Himeko B.
That's right, the ones who helped with the details of those two maps were Acheron, who returned from the otherworldly Ragnarok, and He Ying, who lives with the Insect Spirit Clan.
Although Bonnia could have completed them independently, as a qualified developer for over a decade, she naturally had to listen to the players' opinions ()
"I see..."
Himeko B nodded, rubbing her smooth chin in realization.
"Speaking of which, will Kiana participate?"
March 7th's question sent everyone into deep thought.
Welt and Elysia, both locals of Warahip, glanced at each other, then shrugged and spread their hands to indicate they didn't know.
Kiana had run off to have fun shortly after waking up and had only just returned. Seeing this kind of competition, she would probably come to join the fun...
Probably.
"If dear Kiana is going to participate, then I, Ellie, must definitely try to team up with her~♪"
Elysia's eyes sparkled, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she could already see the victory of the competition waving at her.
You ask why she, the Aeon of "True Self," cares about the victory of this competition?
"True Self" is Elysia, but what does that have to do with Ellie~?♪ (Hands on hips)
"Ah...!"
It took March 7th a while to react, and then, like a food-protecting kitten, she bared her teeth and glared at Elysia, saying urgently:
"The one who should be on a team with Kiana is this young lady! If Kiana is going to pick a pink-haired girl, it should be me!"
"Eh~?"
Hearing this, Elysia tilted her head, tapped her lip, and looked at March 7th with an innocent face. She quickly walked over, took the other's hands in hers, and said in a sweet voice:
"Why don't the two of us and Great Xilian form a team? Let's call it the Pink Elf Squad~!♪"
"Eh... Ehh?!!"
March 7th froze, letting out a long, high-pitched scream.
She hadn't expected that even though she showed some hostility, this pink-haired, pointy-eared woman would actually invite her?
It felt like her punch had landed on cotton.
"How about it, how about it? Pretty please, team up with the cute Ellie~♪"
Elysia pouted cutely, constantly shaking March 7th's arm, making her head spin.
"O-Okay..."
At this moment, a bullet chat floated across the live stream—
[[Why do birds fly "Destruction"]: As expected, no one can refuse Elysia... her
