Remember what I said—I'll be waiting for you in Simulated Universe World 6!
Do you dare to go a few rounds with me?"
After Herta blocked Silver Wolf again and activated the Network Firewall, Silver Wolf was unable to contact Herta for the time being and could only declare war through an online video.
The onlookers who were here for the drama immediately got excited at the sight!
Silver Wolf of the Stellaron Hunters had publicly challenged Ms. Herta of the Genius Club. This was simply too entertaining!
Not only had Silver Wolf's fans and Ms. Herta's Fan Club joined in, but countless troublemakers also swarmed over, eager to stir up chaos while pretending to be ordinary spectators!
The mixed crowd of viewers flooded the comments below with discussion!
"Front row seats for sale! Stools, snacks, and Sushiren!"
"Wolf Cub is so cute!"
"What's going on? Silver Wolf challenged Herta?"
"From the looks of it, Silver Wolf thinks Ms. Herta's First Clear Record was mostly luck and isn't convinced!"
"Herta just got lucky. If she kept challenging World 6, our Wolf Cub would definitely get the first clear!"
"According to my investigation, that Ms. Ruan Mei from the event is also a Genius Club member and one of the creators of the Simulated Universe. She and Herta must have colluded! I demand an official investigation!"
"Hard to say. With the Genius Club's influence, maybe they secretly bought it from the officials!"
"What? So it really was cheating? I knew it! I've played Simulated Universe hundreds of times, so why have I never encountered that event?"
"Oh please, can Ms. Herta's business be called cheating? She developed the Simulated Universe herself. How can you slander her out of nowhere like this?"
"Can a genius's work be called cheating? It was a slight adjustment—just a slight adjustment!"
"Give it a rest. You're just jealous of our great Ms. Herta. A clear is a clear. Why are people still trying to make trouble?"
"Exactly! What kind of First Clear Record does your Silver Wolf have? What kind of First Clear Record does our Ms. Herta have?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell us whether Herta dares to accept the challenge! Does she dare to go a few rounds with our Wolf Cub?"
"Let Wolf Cub fly free! Wolf Cub fans will always follow!"
Chapter 66: You Are a, a, a...
Because of that one video from Silver Wolf, the internet had already exploded!
Fans from both sides immediately began waging war in the comments section!
As for how many troublemakers had infiltrated the fray while pretending to be fans, no one could say!
And in reality...
Silver Wolf's actions in the video were undoubtedly the greatest possible provocation toward Herta!
Herta's anger kept rising, and she even briefly lost her connection with the puppet. Asta, standing nearby, trembled in fear. She had never seen Ms. Herta like this before!
In the end, Herta let out a cold laugh.
"She actually dared to post a video and challenge me publicly. Silver Wolf, this time, I'll make sure you lose beyond all doubt, and then I'll ban your Star Rail Account too!"
With that, Herta turned to Asta.
"Asta, come help me!"
"Ah, okay!"
While the internet spectators were still marveling at how fresh this drama was...
A response video featuring Herta ignited the battlefield once again!
In the video, Ms. Herta's puppet was furiously laying into the camera!
"Silver Wolf, right?
Let me tell you something right now!
You are a, a... a member of the Trash Club!
With luck like yours, don't even dream of encountering Ruan Mei in the Simulated Universe for the rest of your life!
Didn't you say you'd be waiting for me in Simulated Universe World 6?
I'll be livestreaming the Live Simulated Universe on this account. Do you dare enter the stream?
Let everyone see the difference in strength between us!"
As soon as Herta's response video came out, the spectators felt that the drama had somehow gotten even sweeter!
"Wow, Ms. Herta really showed up!"
"Interesting! This is way too entertaining!"
"You dared to anger Ms. Herta? The Stellaron Hunters are finished now!"
"You want to oppose our Ms. Herta? Do you even have the strength?"
"Surrender is also an option!"
"When you apologize, remember to show your belly!"
"Damn, I need to sit up and watch this!"
"Ho ho, what a big mouth. If you don't run into Ruan Mei later, don't secretly start crying!"
"We'll rip that puppet apart! We have to slap her in the face hard!"
Naturally, Silver Wolf saw Herta's response video right away!
"Hmph. Instead of keeping her distance and running away, she's actively closing the gap? Then come on!"
As she spoke, Silver Wolf used her account to submit a request to join the stream. Herta immediately approved it, and the two appeared in the livestream at the same time!
Two popular in-game characters had met at last, and the viewers cried out, "Oh my god, this is my favorite episode!"
"You seem pretty confident. Don't tell me you really think your luck is good enough to encounter the Ruan Mei event again! When all these people see you fail later, don't secretly cry!"
Silver Wolf struck first, launching straight into a string of trash talk.
"Hmph, save those words for yourself. Dealing with a little brat like you will be easy!"
After Herta returned the jab, both sides entered Simulated Universe World 6.
Unexpectedly, they both chose The Hunt Path. Perhaps because they were fighting for the first clear, they had both selected the more efficient damage-focused Path!
Once the battle began, the two fell silent and stopped trading insults and threats.
But no one should have mistaken the calm livestream footage for actual peace. Out of the viewers' sight, a virtual war was taking place!
While operating the game, Silver Wolf rapidly tapped out Ether Code, continuously pinpointing the exact location of Herta's operating device!
Did anyone seriously think her challenge with Herta was just about the game?
What a joke!
Herta's decision to provide that livestream room had already made her intentions obvious. This challenge was an item match!
Endless computing power gathered useful information from the livestream and processed it. Knowing that Herta was on the Space Station, Silver Wolf was the first to reach the firewall Herta had set up for her!
A torrent of data crossed limitless distances through the network, relentlessly battering the firewall in an attempt to breach it!
Looking at the reinforced defenses before her, Silver Wolf smiled disdainfully.
"So this is what you're relying on? Herta, you don't really think something like this can stop me, do you? Before, I was only giving you face!"
With a series of edits from Silver Wolf, her computing power transformed into a sharp spike and successfully pierced through Herta's security perimeter!
But the next instant, another stream of data rushed toward her. After mixing with the invading data flow, Silver Wolf discovered that she had actually lost control over it!
The breached security perimeter behind her was immediately repaired as well!
"I knew a little brat like you would come. How is it? This Disorderly Code was specially made for you. I believe you can't move now, can you?"
Herta's projection slowly appeared nearby as she looked at Silver Wolf.
Silver Wolf frowned slightly. She could still summon more computing power for support, but breaching the defense line again would take quite some time. After all, the same methods would not work very well against Herta's security system twice.
And if the Simulated Universe run went smoothly, the battle would probably be over in just over ten minutes.
It seemed that her attack on Herta had failed this time.
"So what? Being able to have a fair duel with you is enough. I don't believe you can encounter Ruan Mei again!"
"A fair duel? Hahahaha!"
Herta laughed when she heard that and continued.
"You've made your move, but I haven't made mine yet!"
Silver Wolf was startled. Then she received a notification that the security protections she had set up around her private account had been breached.
"How is that possible? You shouldn't know... the livestream!"
Silver Wolf had been about to say something, but she suddenly remembered that she was also in the livestream. Her opponent could use it to trace her!
"Hmph. Did you think the genius Ms. Herta would get so angry that she'd lose her head because of a little brat like you?"
From the very beginning, Herta had intended to teach Silver Wolf a lesson. Step by step, she had lured Silver Wolf into the livestream room, baited her into attacking, used the Space Station's home-field advantage and prearranged programs to reduce her computing power, and finally targeted her directly!
"Little brat, it's not too late to admit defeat! I, Herta, am beautiful and kind-hearted. If you make a video and call me Big Sister Herta a few times, I might consider letting you go!"
Just as Herta was feeling pleased with herself, she discovered that Silver Wolf had already vanished. While she was wondering whether her opponent was really that stubborn, a change suddenly occurred on the Space Station!
The entire Herta Space Station went dark, leaving only a small amount of residual lighting!
"If I can't deal with Herta's private account, I can still deal with the Space Station!"
That was right. Seeing that the situation had turned against her, Silver Wolf simply changed targets to the Space Station and chose the hackers' most basic method of attack—cutting the power!
That way, the livestream would shut down, and the weakness she had exposed would disappear with it. Although people might guess that she had used some tricks outside the game, that was still better than being completely controlled by Herta.
The cooked duck had flown away, and the Space Station's energy supply was immediately restored to normal. Herta sighed softly. It seemed that this could only go from an item match back to a normal match.
To the surprise of everyone following this showdown, someone else had already claimed the first clear in that brief moment!
"Ah? Clara doesn't know!"
As time passed, Seele's Gacha Pool was also about to end, which meant Jing Yuan's Gacha Pool was about to arrive!
Chapter 67: PV: Heaven and Earth as the Scale
Seele's twenty-day Gacha Pool was about to end, and the remaining one System Hour displayed on it kept ticking down!
The players' emotions grew increasingly excited as well!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Why does it feel like there's still an entire System Hour before I can pull Jing Yuan?"
"This one System Hour feels almost as unbearable as an Amber Era!"
"Wait, have you all already pulled Seele? Why are you in such a rush? I just started playing and still haven't gotten her!"
"Why are you still pulling for Seele? Save for Jing Yuan and you'll be blessed!"
"A salute to the trailblazers still pulling Seele in Version 1.0!"
"By the way, Jing Yuan should still have one Character PV that hasn't been released yet, right?"
"A character gets a Galactic Odyssey, an Animated Short, and a Character PV. That's the prestige of our General Jing Yuan!"
The impatient players had long since begun discussing it beneath the Animated Short previously released by the officials.
After this period of promotion and growth, the game had also completely spread throughout Luofu Xianzhou!
As a Star Rail Streamer on Luofu, Guinaifen had also ridden that wave of traffic and gained followers like crazy. She was now livestreaming with Sushang, who had come over when she had time, and waiting together for Jing Yuan's Gacha Pool.
"Everyone, General Jing Yuan's Gacha Pool is going live today! I wonder how many pulls you've all saved up!"
"100 pulls! I'll definitely get him!"
"Damn, you had that much self-control? You must have saved everything the game gave out at launch!"
"Two pulls. One Jing Yuan, one Light Cone. That's enough!"
"Doesn't matter. My wallet will make a move!"
Just as Guinaifen was chatting with the viewers, she noticed that Sushang looked somewhat worried and quickly asked her about it.
