Big Xi'er, Natasha, Miss Hatay, and Black hope, who were temporarily separated by the Tiger Talisman, sat together, eating the local snacks that Qiong had bought from Luofu.
Hei hope felt very uncomfortable in this warm and cozy atmosphere. She didn't want to come out at all and just wanted to stay in her mental space and watch.
However, he couldn't resist Qiong Xier's insistence on making her come out. How could the proud and low-defense Hei Xier possibly resist Xier's cuteness and coquetry?
"You are me, and I am you. You want me and Seele to be happy, and I want you to be happy too. I also want Seele to meet more friends, find happiness, and laugh with everyone~"
"And I also want to hold your hand, like feeding you ice cream. I love 'Seele' the most~!"
The direct approach and confessional words from Qiong Xier cleared Hei hope's resilience bar in a second, leaving Hei hope, whose status bar had been broken, burying her head on the fairytale table in her mental space, unable to get up again.
Kuroki's mind raced, 'What on earth is that idiot saying?'
'Does she think she can win me over with words like that?' 'Why are you still talking?' 'Hmm? Why did you stop?'
I don't know how much time passed, but when Hei hope recovered from the effects of the attack, she was already sitting around the table.
"What are you looking at? Humph!"
A visible trace of embarrassment lingered on her face. Blackie feigned anger and retorted irritably to yet another 'Bronya sister' staring at her. Brownie's name was indeed easier to pronounce.
Although she didn't care about these things at all, she reluctantly came out to make friends with these people because it was Seele who suggested it.
You idiot! You idiot! You idiot Seele!
"Uh……"
Miss Hatbite, who was inexplicably rebuked, blinked blankly as she found herself in a blissful fantasy state, now that Seele was in it again.
If someone else spoke to her like that, she would definitely let them know what it means to be a gangster's daughter who crawled out of the slums, a veteran player of the S1 Zaun district, and the value of a yellow card in the Sunba forum!
But it was Seele who said this.
She was still blushing shyly, her ear tips were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, but she insisted on tilting her head back and pretending to be fierce... How adorable!
Although the three Seele characters each have their own unique personalities—the gentle Seele is endearing, the capable Seele gets along well with the Haunted Rabbit, and this proud and fierce Seele is also quite adorable—these are all different characters.
In the center of the lawn, Seele's delicate fingers danced across the black and white piano keys. She smiled as she looked at Black Seele, who was communicating with Hare in an 'impatient' tone, occasionally glancing at her and then hurriedly looking away the moment their eyes met. The corners of her mouth curved into an even wider smile.
That little black cricket was completely under my thumb, wasn't it?
Look at me.
"Keyboard, come on!"
Seele whispered a command, prompting the others to change the music rhythm to the theme song for the Twins of the Other Shore. She wanted to take advantage of Black Seele's broken state to unleash another super-breakthrough attack!
Next time I need comfort, I'll bring both Seele along. They're one body with three souls; Seele must stand together through thick and thin!
The core is the little duckling, the duckling, the land duck, the dome, and the topa are sitting close together. Actually, the little duckling would rather go and chat with the black duck, but she also has to play the role of the silver wing.
After all, she had served as the Great Guardian of Belloberg for a period of time. When faced with the company's envoy, she had to help Rand Duck. Although Toppa was visiting as a friend, she still had to participate in the discussion in order to maintain Silverwing's persona.
"Were those all local songs by Belloberg?"
Topa picked up a grilled skewer of meat. Qiong said it was venison, but it didn't taste like venison at all: "It's really delicious."
To be honest, it sounds like a nursery rhyme.
Bronya took a small sip of the fruit wine:
“The piece of music that Miss Topa just heard was not a local folk song from Belloberg.”
"If Miss Topa is interested in the musical culture of Belleburg, she might want to pay more attention to the Sun Festival celebrations, where a court orchestra will perform, playing music from the enduring winter to the revival of new shoots."
"Great! I'll definitely be there!"
Toppa raised his glass in a toast.
"So, Miss Toppa is no longer in charge of Bellberg's debt project?"
The meat skewers in Little Duck's hand were snatched away by Qiong. According to her personality, she would definitely take them back, but with Silver Wing, she could only show a doting and playful smile.
"Correct."
When will the new person in charge be on duty?
"The market development department always moves like a whirlwind. I estimate the new head will be in place tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow."
Toppa glanced at Zhang Zhang, who was being chased around by Hook, but was actually just walking around with human cubs to help them digest their food.
Toppa thought Zhangzhang wouldn't like Yalilo's food, so Toppa fed it the custom-made food in advance. Unexpectedly, among the delicacies that Qiong brought out to entertain them were some snacks that looked ordinary but made Zhangzhang very excited.
—A product from the all-purpose synthesizer, with no particularly noticeable effects, but with a very good taste.
Zhangzhang wanted to eat but couldn't, and was on the verge of tears.
Bronya.
Because of her connection with Estádio, Toppa and Bronya got closer after Toppa joined the welcome banquet for the train crew, and since they were spending time together privately, she didn't address her as 'Miss'.
"You can discuss the debt-related issues with the person in charge later. What I want to talk to you about is the investment in Yalilo. I wonder if you would be interested in hearing about my investment project?"
"Oh? What project?"
Before Bronya could answer, Sora, who was eating a meat skewer she had snatched from the little duck's mouth, spoke first.
"Hey, this project is absolutely perfect for Belloberg at this stage. It will boost the morale of those who have survived the eternal winter. Have you heard of the Ether Front?"
"The Ether Front?"
A hint of contemplation and confusion flashed in Bronya's eyes.
"It's a game."
Seeing this, Topa knew that the other party was completely unaware, which was normal given that Yalilo couldn't even leave his home planet.
"A game? What game!"
Having caught the keyword, Xing stopped strumming her four-string guitar and came over like a raccoon.
Pera is the drummer. She originally took over the position of bassist, the soul of the band, but now the band's soul has left its body, which does not affect the remaining 'body' performance.
"Are we about to begin?"
Qiong became serious: "Nintendo's lawyer's letter challenge."
"What?"
A group of people tilted their heads in confusion and looked at Qiong.
Topa looked slightly bewildered: "What's that?"
"I will protect this universe in Nintendo's hands!"
Toppa: "..."
Got it, he's probably having another fit of madness.
Having witnessed Hoshino and Sora's fight over a trash can, Toppa was very clear about their mental state.
"The Sovereign Competition".
Topa corrected, "You're right, but Etherfront is a cosmic blockbuster game jointly developed by our company, Interstellar Interconnect Network, and Interstellar Peace Films."
"Using the company's cutting-edge ether copying technology, record any creature you see in an ether coin, materialize it into an ether spirit, and have it compete and battle with other players. The focus is on collecting, dueling, nurturing, upgrading, and earning glory!"
"If Belloberg is used as the main venue for the StarCraft Showdown Celebration, players from all over the galaxy who participate in the game will come."
"This presents a good opportunity for Belleberg, whose development has been disrupted, to increase trade, boost the economy, and promote exchanges."
"How about it?"
Toppa looked at Bronya and Qiong.
This can also be considered part of the 'transaction'.
The Ether Front is a cosmic-level IP, with countless planetary civilizations vying for the opportunity to win the celebration. Whether it's the direct economic revenue brought by tourists or the fame gained from the celebration, it will bring many benefits to the planetary civilizations.
Normally, this kind of fat wouldn't even be enough for Belloberg, who's only just sat up from his coffin.
Even a top-tier expert like Toppa couldn't make the decision alone; they could only influence it. It was only after a 'diamond' made the final decision that the deal was finalized.
The premise for holding the interstellar victory celebration in Yalilo is that Qiong can help Beloberberg solve his debt problem, in other words, give the market development department a good thrashing!
The Victory Celebration venue is Diamond's reward to the Dome.
Of course, if Qiong can't do it, and Belloberg is embroiled in debt disputes, then naturally she can't become the venue for the final celebration, and everyone should just go about their business.
"Is...this okay?"
Bronya was somewhat excited, and the fruit wine in her glass swayed slightly.
As a great guardian, she naturally possesses such macro-level vision. She understands very well how much benefit becoming the center of the interstellar gathering can bring to Belloborg; the economy will definitely recover significantly!
However, while the current environment on Planet Yalilo isn't terrible, it's definitely not the best choice for the company.
Having witnessed the remarkable achievements of the head of market development, Bronya was even less inclined to believe that the company would do charity work and help Belloberg for free, unless someone had already paid the price.
Bronya turned to look at the gray-haired youth, who smiled and said:
"Yes, of course."
As expected, it's Sora!
Her heart pounded. After drinking some fruit wine, Bronya's face flushed an alluring pink in her tipsy state. Her clear eyes were now slightly misty and shimmering.
A barely perceptible impulse, fueled by alcohol, made Bronya wrap her arms around Qiong's neck and press her soft lips heavily against his.
The sudden action startled everyone present. Only after their lips parted did Bronya realize what she had done.
"No, I, I..."
Her cheeks, which were originally slightly flushed, turned bright red, and she looked flustered, unsure of how to explain.
Qiong blinked blankly.
Feeling the empathy she was receiving, Xing smacked her lips and jumped up happily: "Yay!"
"I want to become—"
She took out one of the gifts Estelle had given her from her spatial ring: a red and white hat. She put it on her straight gray hair and pulled the brim back.
"Master Ether Spirit!"
PS:
Chapter 460 The history of trench construction is still chasing me.
Bronya's affectionate and tender kiss was unexpected by Qiong, but it was not the reason why he was stunned.
The reason was the task that popped up in my mind, and the system's voice, which was deliberately adjusted to be grand and majestic, telling an epic legend in a storytelling style.
[Mission: Find it whether it's in fire, water, a great forest, or green grass; hide in the earth, conceal yourself in the clouds, or even in the ether; the goal is to become a Master of the Etheric Spirit!]
[Details: This is a universe inhabited by Star Gods, humans, Aetheric Spirits, and Intelligent Machines, where eighteen attributes are born from eighteen different destinies.]
Immortal - Dragon, Balance - Steel, Order - Fighting, Preservation - Rock, Gluttony - Evil, Pleasure - Poison, Exploration - Flight, End - Ground, Breeding - Insect.
Nothingness - General, Pure Beauty - Fairy, Memory - Ice, Harmony - Superpower, Abundance - Grass, Intelligence - Electricity, Mystery - Water, Hunting - Ghost, Destruction - Fire.
The fate of the Ethers is determined by their lives. Divine Beasts and Phantom Ethers are avatars of the Star Gods. They are not bound by fate, and their attributes may not necessarily follow that fate.
Having been rescued by an unnamed guest, you seem to remember nothing except the words left by a woman in black. The only thing by your side is a Star Core Spirit. Ultimately, you decide to join the Star Train and embark on a pioneering journey in the name of a trailblazer.
During your journey, you will make new companions, March 7th, Danheng... and Pam, one of Akivili's incarnations. You will grow together with the Ethers, striving for the throne of the Galactic Ether Master.
"Constructing history!"
"When did you, the system behind the trenches, get involved with [mystery]?"
Qiong grumbled in his mental space, staring at the mission details, his chin resting on his hand:
"But you know what, you really have to admit, this setting is very reasonable and fits the premise that the protagonist is a master of flight."
You're immortal? What can immortality do? Pure beauty just playing around... Oops, missed.
"But I have a question: why does Order correspond to the Fighting attribute? What is the relationship between Ground and End?"
The system coughed lightly, maintaining its storytelling narration tone:
No one knows why combat was created by order; perhaps it was used to maintain order, while the ground signifies that the true end of life is returning to dust...
"Hmm, using fighting to maintain order? That makes sense. Keep making things up."
