Clear all the guards, then after using a turn's skill to attack Gepard, immediately use the saved Hunt Echo to advance Seele's action, and attack with her skill again!

Seven actions in one turn!

Under Sweet Potato Pigeon's control, Seele achieved seven actions in one turn!

Not only did he clear all the Silvermane Guard minions to ease survival pressure, he also got several extra chances to attack Gepard!

This chain of intricate, interlocking moves not only thrilled the audience, but even Sweet Potato Pigeon himself let out an incredulous gasp!

"Holy crap, did I just pull that off? That was kinda sick. This game has details like this?"

With Gepard's fall, this run of the Simulated Universe was cleared smoothly. Sweet Potato Pigeon felt terrifyingly strong right now and immediately started trash-talking the chat!

"Talk now, huh? Where are the haters? Did the streamer pop off or what?"

The barrage in the livestream instantly exploded, everyone joining in the hype.

"Oh no, the streamer actually learned something!"

"Yeah, yeah, I was wondering why my toilet was clogged—turns out the streamer popped off so hard!"

"Congrats on clearing Gepard! Svarog's watching you, you know!"

"I'm already laughing. I can't imagine how beautiful the later scenes will be!"

"Streamer, go straight to Simulated Universe 4. It's perfect for your single Main DPS lineup!"

"First Svarog of the interstellar server, applying for deployment!"

"Can't wait to see the streamer get kneaded by Svarog's big hand!"

Seeing the entire screen filled with comments urging him to go to Simulated Universe 4, Sweet Potato Pigeon felt a bit puzzled.

What's up with Svarog? I ran into him in the Main Story. He didn't seem that special, right?

Chapter 39: Svarog's Big Hand

Having just cleared Simulated Universe 3, and seeing the barrage all pushing him to go to Simulated Universe 4, Sweet Potato Pigeon didn't think much of it.

This stage's recommended level was 47, meaning the stats would be higher compared to the previous Simulated Universe 3!

Still, thanks to manually piloting the whole way, he smoothly made it to the boss stage in front of Svarog!

"Come on, chat, why so scared? It's just a little Svarog. My max Eidolon Seele's Rocket Headbutt will send him flying with ease!"

Seeing Sweet Potato Pigeon still acting so cocky, many viewers were already waiting to watch the fun.

The reason was this stage's boss, Svarog, whose mechanics could be called pretty brutal at this point!

During the battle, Svarog would summon a minion called the [Support Mechanical Arm Unit], and this minion would randomly grab a character, locking them down and preventing action for two or three turns!

The only way to break free was to deplete the mechanical arm's toughness bar or defeat it outright—a headache for everyone!

If the Main DPS got snatched, and the support didn't have the right element to break toughness, or enough damage to kill the arm, you might as well take your hands off the keyboard!

To make things worse, this summon skill wasn't a one-time deal!

Just when you finally rescued your Main DPS from the big hand, the next moment Svarog might summon another one and snatch them right back!

With such a disgusting mechanic in place, players at this stage were all stuck on this level!

If he could secure the first clear on this stage, no one would dare call him a noob who loves to play anymore!

Thinking this, Sweet Potato Pigeon started the battle. Svarog had three phases. The first two went smoothly, but when the health bar refilled, a change appeared!

Svarog raised a hand, and a massive mechanical palm emerged!

"Huh? What's this?"

Before Sweet Potato Pigeon could react, the mechanical arm's turn came, and it attacked Seele directly, grabbing her under its palm and locking her tight!

"Hey! What is this thing! Where's my Seele!"

Sweet Potato Pigeon was stunned. How did his Seele end up on the enemy's side!

Even when he tried to use Bailu to heal his side, Seele's original spot was empty—he couldn't even target it!

He glanced at the barrage, which was full of schadenfreude.

"Hahaha, here it comes, time to suffer!"

"Oh man, this is my favorite episode!"

"Sweating bullets now, aren't ya, rookie?"

"Why'd the streamer stop laughing? Not having fun?"

"Dragon Claw Hand!"

"With that lineup, only Bailu has Lightning element to break the big hand's control. You're doomed!"

"Lord of the Hunt, save him!"

Sweet Potato Pigeon's current lineup was Seele, Bailu, Pela, and Asta. After Seele was taken, only Bailu could break the shield with the matching element.

So he started trying to use Bailu to deplete the toughness and break the shield, rescuing Seele.

But normal attacks were too slow at breaking toughness. It took several turns before he finally broke the shield and got Seele back.

However, before Sweet Potato Pigeon could even breathe a sigh of relief, Svarog summoned another mechanical arm, making two on the field!

"Wait, how did he call another hand?!"

A sense of dread began to stir in his heart, and Sweet Potato Pigeon even started praying internally.

"Don't grab Seele, don't grab Seele, don't grab Seele!"

Unfortunately, things always rush toward you unstoppably, just like Murphy's Law!

The newly summoned mechanical arm snatched Seele, who had just escaped death!

"I f*ck your brother! Ahhhhhh! I don't wanna play anymore! Wuwuwu! Don't take my Seele!"

The streamer's temperature was rising!

"Hahaha, precise, too precise!"

"Interstellar number one Svarog!"

"Share this pain together!"

"Crying? Crying counts as time too!"

"The streamer is really cursed, grabbing Seele twice!"

"Why is my Seele fine, but Tingyun always gets caught?"

After countless struggles, he rescued Seele from Svarog's giant hand again, but then Svarog triggered another skill—detonating the paralyzed giant hand whose toughness had been broken!

Seele was blasted to empty health by this skill, then revived by Bailu's hand-rubbing resurrection.

But Svarog's attack wasn't over yet—Oversaturation Bombardment appeared!

First encounter with Svarog, instantly obliterated and sent back to reality—Sweet Potato Pigeon was dumbfounded!

What's up with this game?!

I've got a max-Eidolon Seele, why is fighting the Simulated Universe so hard!!!

Forcing down his inner agitation, Sweet Potato Pigeon comforted himself—maybe it was just bad luck this run; a few more tries should fix it!

So he put on a calm expression and said.

"Ah, this run was just bad luck. Don't get so worked up playing games, you have to smile and understand, okay? Games are here to bring us joy! Hehe!"

But when he stood before Svarog again, that merciless hand reached for Seele once more—the streamer broke down!

"Play your mother! Ahhhhhhh! Damn it! I quit!"

Sweet Potato Pigeon's vision went dark, like he'd passed out, losing all movement—unable to continue!

The barrage sent warm greetings.

"Just got here, did the streamer get wrecked?"

"Knocked out by Svarog (sad)!"

"Jealous of the streamer!"

"I still liked the streamer's arrogant attitude before!"

"Don't give up, streamer, I haven't had enough yet!"

"Keep going, you big bro who got wrecked!"

After a long time, Sweet Potato Pigeon returned to the stream as if coming back to life.

"Brothers, this Simulated Universe isn't something we can beat at this stage. The enemies are completely overpowered compared to us—the numerical gap is too big. Let's just go do other quests!"

Seeing the streamer trying to escape the prison of the Simulated Universe, the barrage encouraged him.

"Don't quit, streamer! Didn't you say you'd take all the first clears in the Simulated Universe?"

"Yeah, why are you choking so fast! Can you do it or not, streamer!"

"Sigh, I'm used to it. New fans still choose to trust, old fans have no expectations left!"

"Streamer, want to try a different playstyle? Pick another Path!"

"Right, I think I saw someone post a clear video just now—looked like a first clear!"

Seeing the barrage mention that someone had already posted a clear video, Sweet Potato Pigeon was a bit surprised!

Was it some game walkthrough blogger? How could they find the clear method so fast? Or was it just better luck, getting more blessings?

Sweet Potato Pigeon decided to search for Simulated Universe walkthrough videos, and sure enough, he found one just posted by a blogger.

"Simulated Universe 4, first clear nationwide, stable lineup you can copy?"

Seeing this, Sweet Potato Pigeon got excited. His max-Eidolon Seele was struggling so painfully, and this first-clear video title was so casual, claiming a stable copy?

"Let me see what's going on!"

And when he saw the other person's avatar and ID, Sweet Potato Pigeon was shocked!

"Sil... Silver Wolf?"

Chapter 40: You Just Need to Survive, Leave the Damage to Black General!

After being tormented to death by the Simulated Universe, Sweet Potato Pigeon decided to first see how others cleared it.

When he saw the exaggerated claim in the title of the first-clear video, Sweet Potato Pigeon clicked in with skepticism.

"Silver... Silver Wolf!"

Seeing the uploader's ID and that pixel-art Silver Wolf avatar, Sweet Potato Pigeon couldn't help but cry out in surprise!

More than her identity as a Stellaron Hunter, it was her status as a top-tier gaming god that fascinated Sweet Potato Pigeon—she could practically be called his idol!

The live stream's barrage instantly erupted!

"Holy crap, is that Silver Wolf from the Stellaron Hunters? She even appeared as a character in the game before!"

"It's definitely her. I've heard of her exploits—Silver Wolf herself is a gaming pro. That first clear has to be hers!"

"Damn, I didn't expect to see Silver Wolf's first-clear video here. I wonder how she beat it!"

"She didn't just hack it, did she? Silver Wolf's a hacker too—maybe she directly broke into the game and modified the data!"

Seeing the heated discussion in the barrage, Sweet Potato Pigeon decided to watch the video first.

And at the beginning of the video, Silver Wolf's choice of team characters shocked everyone!

She didn't pick any five-star characters. Instead, she selected the Fire Preservation main character, Natasha, March 7th, and Asta to fight!

The entire team could be said to consist of free characters, leaving everyone dumbfounded!

"What's going on? What kind of picks are these?!"

"Right, why choose these characters? Bringing just Natasha should be enough!"

"Three survival-type characters—is this some kind of 'tank the hits' strategy?"

"I'm starting to wonder if Silver Wolf really did hack into the system and modify the data!"
