"The Festivity Planet! I really want to go and play there soon."

Xing seemed very interested, but only about half of the plot that Lin Shuang remembered.

The Astral Express Crew, especially Hoshino, didn't really have much fun at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang sighed softly and patted Xing on the shoulder.

I hope she can do her best.

I'm finally home.

Lin Shuang lay in bed, leaving all the housework to the Herta Puppet.

He himself had been connected to the game that Silver Wolf was playing.

She couldn't wait to go online and mock... no, to go online and check on Silver Wolf.

After the initial land reclamation period, Lin Shuang didn't devote much time to it.

The main problem was that Silver Wolf recommended too many games, and Lin Shuang wanted to try them all, so she ended up not playing many of any of them.

I opened my friends list and took a look.

The character linked to Silver Wolf's account has changed drastically.

Not only did their level drop to a lower level than mine, but their combat power and equipment also became very ordinary.

"Tsk tsk... no wonder she was crying and making a fuss."

"Who are you calling crying and making a scene?!"

"Whoa--?!"

The sudden sound of the Silver Wolf's voice startled Lin Shuang.

When he turned around, he found that Silver Wolf had appeared behind him at some point.

He was staring at me with a hostile expression.

"Hmm--Say what you just said again? I don't think I heard you clearly."

Silver Wolf wore a 'kind' smile, his long sword already drawn, seemingly locking onto Lin Shuang.

"I'm not coming—what are you talking about? I was planning to come find you."

Lin Shuang looked away, pretending nothing had happened.

"So why did you create a new account? I heard from Xing that you didn't restore your account data?"

"Tch—I should have just blocked you."

Silver Wolf smacked its lips and glared at Lin Shuang.

This guy kept saying he cared about me, but the smile on his face never stopped.

Kafka's Script was only recently completed.

That bastard must have just heard about what happened to me and rushed into the game to find something to laugh at me!

"Hehe... cough cough--How can you say that? I came to the game to check on you as soon as I heard about it. You didn't even reply to my messages."

"Because I muted your messages. Don't think I can't tell, you haven't stopped laughing since the beginning!"

Silver Wolf's answer was merciless and quite directly exposed Lin Shuang.

"That's not a friendly way to put it. Do you think I'm that kind of person? I came over immediately to help you refresh your account."

"Bullshit! You are!"

Silver Wolf knows Lin Shuang all too well.

It's true that he helped refresh his account, but the part about mocking himself is also absolutely genuine.

Lin Shuang is absolutely capable of working for me while constantly mocking my messy affairs.

Therefore, Silver Wolf preferred to farm alone rather than pay any attention to Lin Shuang.

He even deliberately instructed Kafka not to tell Lin Shuang what had happened at the Herta Space Station.

But who would have thought that the trap would ultimately be slipped up by Xing.

Damn it, Xing, huh!

You'll get some delicious juice next time!

Silver Wolf secretly remembered this grudge.

Lin Shuang, meanwhile, was already holding onto Silver Wolf's arm as they walked out of town.

"Come on, come on, I'll play with you!"

Silver Wolf gritted his teeth and muttered several sentences under his breath.

But in the end, they still couldn't get rid of Lin Shuang.

Chapter 279 Silver Wolf: You came here specifically to... comfort me?

First of all, I have achieved my goal!

Silver Wolf controlled his character, frantically traversing through hordes of Monster, constantly fighting and killing.

He was still gritting his teeth as he explained what had happened.

"Secondly, that woman from Herta is unethical. We agreed to settle things with hacking techniques, but she resorted to underhanded tactics!"

"Take it easy, you're going to grind your back teeth to pieces."

Lin Shuang suppressed a smile and assisted Silver Wolf from the side, speeding up her farming.

Perhaps after being completely exposed, Silver Wolf gave up and decided to do whatever he wanted.

What started as hesitation has gradually turned into complaints.

"You're the one who chewed it up!"

The small figure of the Silver Wolf rushed over and kicked Lin Shuang in the butt.

However, Lin Shuang used her superior character stats to nimbly dodge the attack.

Silver Wolf glared at Lin Shuang with obvious displeasure:

"If you're so capable, come here now and see if you can still hide from me."

"Hehe~ Don't be so angry."

"It's all your fault! The more I think about it, the angrier I get!!"

The Silver Wolf sharpened its little tiger teeth, baring its teeth at Lin Shuang.

But Lin Shuang knew that this was just a rare way for her to vent her emotions; she wasn't angry at Lin Shuang, of course.

Instead, it was Screwllum who refused to play against her in the previous match, and Herta who deliberately tried to mess with Screwllum' mentality.

Of course, in Lin Shuang's view, since Silver Wolf broke the rules first, it was normal for Screwllum to ignore her challenge.

Rather, from the opponent's perspective, the way Screwllum, and Herta handled the situation was quite normal.

With the aim of defeating the enemy, Silver Wolf indeed suffered a major setback.

Although it's from another perspective.

Moreover, judging from Silver Wolf's reaction, it's clear that the process of infiltrating the company and recovering the data did not go smoothly.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be here gritting her teeth and refreshing her account.

"Okay, let's just treat it as a second playthrough challenge. I'll play with you."

Lin Shuang chuckled and reached out to pat the Silver Wolf's head.

This time, unusually, Silver Wolf did not slap Lin Shuang's hand away.

It was still baring its teeth and grimacing.

"Speaking of which, could the Curio you took allow others to use Punklorde's methods?"

Lin Shuang became very interested in Punklorde while playing the game.

According to Screwllum, Punklorde is a planet built from data and characters. The boundary between illusion and reality is blurred.

This is an interesting point.

If a planet is a collection of data and characters, then are the people on it, such as the Silver Wolf, also composed of data and characters, only resembling Ordinary Human?

Moreover, if she had to be sure, Lin Shuang wasn't certain whether she had actually seen the Silver Wolf in person.

In any case, as long as she wants, the realistic projections she creates are almost indistinguishable from reality.

Upon hearing Lin Shuang's question, Silver Wolf glanced up at Lin Shuang with some concern.

"You mean the Aether Game Cartridge? While it is indeed a chip used by Hacker to edit reality and is important to Hacker, if we use your analogy, it can only be considered a weapon."

Those unfamiliar with the game often make unnecessary associations with Punklorde because of the Game Cartridge tapes.

The Game Cartridge is indeed the Hacker's second brain, second heart.

But its importance lies in its recording capabilities, not in any magical power the Game Cartridge actually possesses.

However, Lin Shuang didn't seem to understand these things very well, so Silver Wolf Lin Shuang to use a more easily understandable analogy to explain.

"Like your Greatsword and Kafka's gun, our ability to edit reality still originates from ourselves. If we could do this with just one Game Cartridge, the world would be full of Hacker by now."

Silver Wolf turned back to continue grinding monsters, and mercilessly complained:

"It's not that you have to have Game Cartridge to become Hacker in Punklorde, but rather that each Hacker writes their own unique Game Cartridge."

"Oh, it seems I won't be able to learn it."

Lin Shuang pouted, a little disappointed.

Although in terms of destructive power, the Emanator and Aeon seem incredibly magical.

But in terms of sheer wonder, Lin Shuang always felt that Punklorde's ability to edit the world and rewrite reality was the most amazing.

Perhaps it's due to my understanding from a past life.

Lin Shuang herself was quite curious about this ability.

"You really want to learn?"

Are you willing to teach?

"I don't want to."

Silver Wolf rejected Lin Shuang without hesitation.

Just kidding, where would she find the time to teach Lin Shuang this?

"Tch, stingy."

"Ha—a naive attempt at reverse psychology."

A smile returned to Silver Wolf's face, and she slapped Lin Shuang's hand off her head.

"So you didn't come here just to comfort me, did you?"

Silver Wolf, unusually, paused for a moment before speaking, and Lin Shuang even noticed a hint of embarrassment on Silver Wolf face.

Wow!

That's quite rare.

Let me take a few more glances.

Lin Shuang stared at her with a smile, secretly taking countless screenshots.

Silver Wolf belatedly realized what Lin Shuang had done.

Then it immediately turned red-hot.

In the end, all the precious screenshots that Lin Shuang had saved were pixelated by Silver Wolf right in front of her.

"Damn it! They didn't keep a single one."
