Xing: There's a Pervert! (Part 1)
"That's it, boss. If you can beat the last hurdle, we can escape safely." Ai-chan finished explaining everything in one breath, patted her flat chest, and looked at Sachi expectantly. "Go for it, Ai-chan believes in you!"
"Hmm..." Sachi thought for a fraction of a second, then patted Ai-chan's soft little head. "So, besides me, who else is participating in this Yugi?"
"This Yugi was originally created by me for you to play. The opponents I arranged were all low-intelligence AI programs. But for some reason, a virus suddenly appeared, and it even seems to have evolved consciousness. Ai-chan fought it to the death and barely managed to maintain the stability of the system, but it still managed to infiltrate it." Ai-chan complained to Yuki with a mournful face.
"Virus?"
"Ugh, it calls itself BBB, who knows where it came from, and it messed up everything Ai-chan carefully prepared for the boss, ugh ugh ugh! Don't let me see it, or else..." At this point, Ai-chan gritted her teeth and waved her little fist, wishing she could punch that hateful bastard who called himself BBB to death.
"What else?" Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out beside the two of them. A huge dragon-shaped Honkai Beast descended from the sky. On the dragon's head, a humanoid creature that looked a lot like Ai-chan but was predominantly black and green stood on it, looking at the two of them with a half-smile.
"Whoa!" Ai-chan was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Sachi, trembling. "Boss, we're in big trouble! I didn't expect it to find us so quickly. Run! I'm going to prepare for Creature Swap right away..."
"Run? Where can you run to?" The moldy cabbage sneered, looking disdainfully at the weak Ai-chan. "Heh, just to please a human, you actually created such a huge virtual space. What a waste. Your little brain is really..."
"Shut up!" Sachi angrily pulled out the Fever Buckle and the thruster and stuck them into the driver. For some reason, just hearing this girl talk made him want to beat her up. "Don't use my Ai-chan's face to say such smug things!"
"Set!" A large spinning wheel appeared behind the boy, its complex icons spinning rapidly.
"Boss, be careful! Although Ai-chan risked everything to keep her Yugi access, what if that guy tries something underhanded, like lowering the gacha rates or something?" Seeing that Sachi actually stood up for her, Ai-chan was incredibly touched and quickly warned him loudly.
"(Hehe, I just lowered the probability of getting a big buckle from the Fever Buckle and increased the probability of getting junk equipment. Let's see how this guy fights Benares, hehe~)"
The turntable slowly came to a stop, and a gust of emerald green wind burst forth from it, shouting, "Ninja!"
"What?! I clearly set the probability to 0.0000000000000001, how did this guy get such good equipment?!" BBB exclaimed in shock.
At the same time--
While stalking the giant Ya Ya, attempting to steal the Magnum Buckle, Zero Time stared at the green bow and arrow in his hand, lost in thought. "Damn it, you promised I'd get a Magnum every time I draw it!"
Arthur, who was hitting a soldier, looked at the blue Water Gun in his hand and fell into deep thought. Then he simply used it as a water hose.
Paimon, who was teaming up with Venti to clear monsters, looked at the two large fists in his hands and was eager to try. "Okay, monsters? Looks good!"
Ze Xing, the girl who had created Beat Gashat with the Fever Buckle, was very happy.
Back to Xing—
"Dual On!" Get Ready For Ninja&Boost!"
The green ninja armor adorns the upper body, and the compound eyes of the fox have turned a cold red, seemingly symbolizing the fury of the transformed individual at this moment.
The knight looked up at BBB above Benares's head, Ninja Buckle, appeared in his hand.
"Ready——"
The knight vanished from his spot and reappeared a second later above BBB's head, cleaving her in two with a single strike and simultaneously delivering a heavy blow to Benares beneath her.
"Fight!"
"Damn it! Teach him a lesson!" The severed body quickly regenerated, and BBB angrily ordered Benares to attack Xing.
"Boss, don't go all out, or the Booster Buckle will fly off by itself!" Ai-chan, who was left on the ground, cupped her hands around a megaphone and shouted at Sachi with all her might.
"Heh, it's just a simulated copy." A cold glint flashed in the knight's purple eyes beneath his mask as he watched the dragon constantly shift between ice, fire, and lightning forms.
'Ninja Strike!'
After the sound effects, dozens of knights appeared, flanking Benares in the air and forcing the dragon to retreat and take the hits.
The main body returned to the ground, picked up Ai-chan who was eating melon seeds, and quickly made a run for it. At the same time, it didn't forget to point out to her that BBB was being beaten up by the clone in the sky. "See? If you don't work properly, this is what will happen to you!"
"Boss, I'll work hard!" Ai-chan's face turned pale with fright.
"Well, that's enough fun." Seeing that BBB and Benares were being suppressed by him, he instinctively wanted to press the joystick with the Fever Buckle to unleash his ultimate attack.
"Boss, no!" Ai-chan tried to pull off the thruster on the driver, but even though her little hands grabbed the thruster's handle, she couldn't budge it.
"Tactical Finish"
The aerial clones split into four groups, located in the four directions of Benares, representing earth, water, fire, and wind, with shurikens of different attributes coalescing in their hands.
"Boss time!" Ninja Bosst Grand Victory!"
"Four Element Spiral Shuriken Burst Slash!" With a hastily chosen name, the four clones simultaneously threw shurikens of different attributes, and a giant four-bladed shuriken of different colors burst open on Benares's body—
"Roar!"
The dragon let out a mournful cry under the intense attack, and then dissipated into specks of light.
"We won~" Jihu (Lucky) snapped his fingers happily.
Ai-chan, nestled in his arms, playfully tapped his head, "Boss, didn't you hear me? I told you not to use your ultimate skill..."
"?" The Fox Knight tilted his head, puzzled.
Swoosh—
The Booster Buckle emitted a spark and flew away from the driver in the blink of an eye. After circling him once, it sped off into the distance, Propeller Vanguard belated Bossttriker, the thruster's exclusive vehicle, back into the distance.
The two stared dumbfounded at the departing thruster and the Propeller Vanguard, which had transformed into its fox form but was knocked back. BBB, who was being crushed and trying to escape, was in high spirits. "Hmph, without this powerful cheat, let's see how you fight me from now on!"
"Boss, the driver can amplify the power of the other buckle you're using tenfold, so it has a serious limitation. If you use your ultimate move while using the Booster Buckle, it will be forcibly retracted..." Ai-chan explained, on the verge of tears.
"Hmm, it's okay, I can try again next time. If all else fails, I'll see if I can get it back." Ai-chan's words silenced Ai-chan.
Just then, Ai-chan remembered something and looked up at the sky. Following her gaze, Sachi saw a small magenta box slowly falling.
Complete the hidden quest: Defeat Benares. Reward: Random Belt Buckle x1
The system notification sounded, and the box landed on Ai-chan's two cabbages. The girl excitedly exclaimed, "Boss! That Benares is a boss I set up in a certain level. Defeating it will give you a reward, and it's a guaranteed big buckle!"
The two exchanged a glance and chuckled. In the distance, BBB, whose only remaining head was visible, felt a bad premonition.
The Propeller Vanguard, which was being Booster Buckle, suddenly shuddered. The thruster turned into data and disappeared. Then, the fox-shaped Propeller Vanguard transformed back into a motorcycle, with sparks shooting out from the exhaust pipes on the rear wheel, and quickly flew back.
He was overjoyed to open the box and see the red buckle lying quietly inside. "Hmph, you're smart enough to know what's good for you, otherwise I would have intercepted you in mid-air."
BBB: "..."
She glared at Ai-chan resentfully and demanded, "Confess honestly, did you give this kid a cheat code before I invaded him?"
So, amidst the roar of the engine, a fox, carrying a cabbage, set off on a motorcycle towards the Game Hall, the destination of the first round of the Yugi.
Mission Confirmed: Survive an attack from a monster that doesn't appear in person using the buckle you possess, and safely reach the Game Hall.
"By the way, boss, in order to help you immerse yourself in the Yugi even more perfectly, I'll activate the subconscious synchronization and deepening for you right away!" Ai-chan tightly from behind, seeking comfort, and summoned a virtual screen with one small hand, tapping and swiping.
"Subconscious deepening in sync?"
"Hmm, your current image is formed by your self-perception, but the fact that you think you're a cute boy must mean there's a problem with your subconscious synchronization. I'll use my administrator privileges to adjust it for you; this is one of my few privileges." Ai-chan looked at the fox ears on his head. The calculations told her that if she touched them, there was a 73.42% chance that the boss would turn her into hand-shredded cabbage.
After a blinding flash of white light, the bewildered white-haired boy touched his two white fox ears on his head and shook his Jotaro tail behind him, his two heterochromatic red and blue eyes filled with confusion.
Isn't this just a gender-swapped version of Chen Xilumeng? So he really likes his own appearance?
"Hehe, the boss's tail is so soft and smells so good..." Ai-chan hugged the Jotaro fox tail and buried her face in it.
"... Fine, touch it if you want." He was reluctant to punish this cabbage, so he could only let her do as she pleased, since this cabbage's mind was no different from Seele's.
Although he is the same age as Fu Hua.
——Duck Gate——
The girl, who goes by the pseudonym Silverwing, is a bit irritable.
"Damn Kiana! When you tricked me into coming here to participate in the Yugi, you didn't tell me that hacker technology is useless here. I didn't bring my Heavy Cannon Rabbit, and my physique has been reduced to that of an ordinary person. When I get back, I'm going to tell Mei on this and also complain to You Hui about your crimes!" Silverwing cursed through gritted teeth.
PS: This secondary Silverwing is the same type as the enhanced firefly mentioned earlier.
Moving through the rainforest was not an easy task for her, especially since she was wearing work clothes, which made movement quite difficult.
She wanted to use the power in the Yugi, but whenever she tried to take out the Magnum Buckle from her Yugi backpack to transform, she felt a gaze fixed on her, as if waiting for something.
Just as she was considering what to do, the roar of an engine came from afar...
