Chapter 2525 / Chapter 2526

Chapter ID: 114885749

"Seriously, what kind of boss battle is this?"

Do you know how much psychological damage a single, Aeon- level blow can cause to a seventeen-year-old?

"I was kicked out before I even found the skill button!"

Behind Chen Li, complaints from students of this kind rose and fell.

Clearly, everyone had reservations about Aha's lack of martial ethics.

In a boss battle, who lets the boss attack first after entering a dungeon?!

Even if it doesn't default to the player going first like in typical turn-based games, shouldn't there at least be a coin toss or something to decide who goes first?

No damage was inflicted, yet they were completely wiped out upon entering. This is a significant blow to the players' enthusiasm.

As expected, Penacony Online is a terrible game!

It's only somewhat fun because it comes with a built-in joystick.

The crowd behind Chen Li was buzzing with discussion and complaints. But Chen Li was all alone, making the scene seem particularly desolate.

Chapter 2525

Those who were kicked out within the first three seconds were the ones who couldn't even withstand the first attack from the transformed Aha boss.

Those who occasionally sat next to Chen Li without being kicked out were either outstanding teachers or outstanding graduates... all talented individuals with pleasant voices.

They are basically all at least at the Emanator level in terms of combat power... Although they are still like a dog on the street in front of Aha, who is powered by two combined Aeon of Joy, they have many tricks up their sleeves. After using various methods, they can still survive one round without any problems.

"Ugh, really. It's so boring with no one to chat with..." Chen Li stretched in his chair, looking at the stage with a bored expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, a white beam of light appeared beside Chen Li.

This is precisely the visual effect of defeat and withdrawal.

"Oh? Let me see which noob got kicked out in the first round?" Chen Li turned his head to look at the beam of light, immediately perking up, and said with some excitement.

Chen Li couldn't help but be curious. After all, the members of his Friends Circle all possessed so many resources; if they had any common sense and studied a little, they wouldn't have ended up with nothing.

Moreover, Chen Li didn't lower his voice at all, clearly intending to thoroughly humiliate the other party.

However, as the beam of light gradually faded, Chen Li looked at the empty space beside him and felt as if he had forgotten something.

"[Have you thought about who was standing next to you when the battle started?]" the Pixie whispered in Chen Li's ear.

Hearing the Pixie's reminder, Chen Li thought for a moment, then paused.

Holy crap, Buhao.

As the light completely faded, a tall, slender girl appeared beside Chen Li.

The girl clenched her fists, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

Looking at the Great Silver Wolf beside him, whose emotions seemed ready to explode at any moment, Chen Li quickly racked his brains for something to say to ease the tension.

Chen Li almost forgot that when the punitive expedition began, the person standing next to him was the Great Silver Wolf.

Moreover, it was the Great Silver Wolf whose cartridges had been taken by the Aeon of Joy, leaving him without any power.

"Laugh if you want. I can't see your expression through the HOMU mask anyway." The Great Silver Wolf slowly raised its head, its face flushed, and glanced at Chen Li before saying irritably.

Although the Great Silver Wolf couldn't see Chen Li's expression behind the hood, she could easily imagine how strange Chen Li eyes must be.

Although at the beginning, after ascending to the realm of gods, the Great Silver Wolf used the power of the cartridge to replace his and Silver Wolf's save data, inheriting Silver Wolf's perfect love save data, after the cartridge was stolen, the Great Silver Wolf's vision could no longer penetrate the cognitive shielding suit on Chen Li.

Whether it was because he lost his power and could no longer see through things, or because the perfect save data he inherited after losing the cartridge was also lost, the tag modification effect disappeared, or he was removed from Chen Li's whitelist... Great Silver Wolf himself wasn't sure.

After saying this, the Great Silver Wolf looked around and found that there were a large number of empty seats around him. Apart from Chen Li, he was the only person sitting in this area.

The only one who didn't pass the second test was her, the Great Silver Wolf.

Thinking of this, the corner of the Great Silver Wolf's mouth twitched.

"Alright. Now you can see it." Chen Li gently patted the Great Silver Wolf on the shoulder and casually added her back to the whitelist.

The Great Silver Wolf turned to look at Chen Li and found that he could indeed see Chen Li's face through the Golden Honkai-Moe King's mask again, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"What? You want me to see how you're going to laugh at me?" The Great Silver Wolf was taken aback at first, then said through gritted teeth.

"That's right. Haha. What, what excuse are you planning to make? Did you get stuck? Or were you having a bad run of the ball?" Chen Li nodded, admitting it without hesitation.

The Great Silver Wolf looked at Chen Li with some disbelief.

That's not how it is in visual novels!

I'm feeling really down right now. I lost the cassette tape, and I got utterly crushed by Aha. When I say such self-deprecating things, you should comfort me instead of actually laughing at me.

"What are you laughing at! You came out too, and even earlier than me!" The Great Silver Wolf pointed at Chen Li, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"No. I didn't even go in. Aha didn't even dare to send out my invitation." Chen Li shrugged.

Upon hearing this, the Great Silver Wolf slowly turned its head to look at the enormous figure above the stage, formed by the fusion of the Iron Tomb armor and the Aha mask.

"I didn't expect this Aha to be a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong?" the Great Silver Wolf said, somewhat displeased.

Upon hearing this, Chen Li couldn't help but nod.

Aha is indeed a bully who preys on the weak.

However, Chen Li wasn't referring to the fact that Aha hadn't dragged him into the punitive expedition.

This includes, but is not limited to, characters like the Cold-faced Great Azure Dragon, the Order Aeon, Taiyi.

Clearly, Aha understands the principle of picking on the weakest target. Aha is certainly a fun-loving person, but he's not stupid.

"Although... you were instantly defeated by Aha." Chen Li snapped out of his thoughts and brought the topic back.

"What are you laughing at! You won't get past the second test either!" The Great Silver Wolf crossed his arms and turned his face away.

"You got instantly killed by Aha. The record is verifiable." Chen Li pointed to the stage screen in front of him.

"You..."

"You got instantly killed by Aha."

That's enough!

"The battle record is verifiable."

Chen Li's monotonous, repetitive speech repeatedly struck at the Great Silver Wolf's nerves, until finally the Great Silver Wolf couldn't take it anymore.

The Great Silver Wolf suddenly raised its head and stared at the stage screen in front of it.

On the stage, a game clip of A Kivili versus Aha is currently playing. Clearly, that is the main battlefield of the Aha Subjugation Battle.

But besides the main screen featuring A Kivili, the edges of the screen are filled with countless smaller screens, which show the real-time feeds of top-scoring players in the raid.

When Chen Li said "the battle record is verifiable," he meant these publicly available battle record rankings.

The Great Silver Wolf's gaze swept rapidly across the smaller split screens, finally settling on the eighth one.

In the scene, Silver Wolf is leaning against a data wall, his fingertips flying across the void as he engages in a fierce battle of offense and defense with Aha's clone.

The Silver Wolf was still fighting, but the Great Silver Wolf had already appeared.

The Great Silver Wolf clenched its fists, trembled for a few seconds, and then charged toward the stage screen.

"Bang!"

"Aha, you bastard! Can't you take a joke? Give me back my cartridge if you dare! Shameless cheating! You have no shame! Bah!" Great Silver Wolf slammed his fist on the edge of the screen, looked up at the mask of Aha on the screen, and cursed loudly.

Seeing this, Chen Li quickly stood up from his chair, grabbed the Great Silver Wolf from behind, and pulled her back a few steps.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not that serious. It's just a game you lost. There's no need to cry and make a scene," Chen Li said, trying to persuade her as she pulled her aside.

"I didn't cry and scream! Ahh!" The Great Silver Wolf struggled frantically, kicking its legs against the ground, denying it, but its body was still baring its teeth and claws at the screen in unwillingness.

It turns out that Great Silver Wolf and Silver Wolf are indeed the same person.

When they get really upset about losing a game, they cry and throw a tantrum.

Chen Li didn't think the current Great Silver Wolf was ruining his character. It was fine this way, wasn't it?

Although the Great Silver Wolf's figure was nothing like a child's... she looked like a fully developed adult woman, but at this moment, the moment she broke down was just like the Silver Wolf would flip the table if she lost a game.

Moreover, Chen Li felt that the Great Silver Wolf was becoming more and more like the Silver Wolf, perhaps because the Great Silver Wolf had stolen the Silver Wolf's save file.

Broken.

Chapter 2526

Now who can tell the difference between the new model and the old model?

After being held by Chen Li and venting his anger on the stage for a while, the Great Silver Wolf finally calmed down.

It wasn't because my anger had subsided, but because I had run out of energy.

After all, the Great Silver Wolf who has had his cartridge taken away is at best an average adult, and his physical strength is even inferior to that of an average adult...

After all, that's how fragile gamers are. Just not getting Overhead Toss themselves is already a victory.

"Let... let me go..." The Great Silver Wolf gasped for breath, his hands supporting his knees, his voice weak and feeble.

"Okay." Chen Li released his hand decisively.

The Great Silver Wolf noticed that Chen Li had let go so quickly, and turned to look at Chen Li with some surprise.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Chen Li tilted his head and asked curiously, seeing the Great Silver Wolf staring at him.

The Great Silver Wolf remained silent, only stroking its chin and frowning as it looked Chen Li up and down.

Did I really inherit Silver Wolf's save file with maximum affection level?

Why didn't this guy do anything for me... like what you'd do after reaching maximum affection in a visual novel?

Even if this place Tai He, at least in terms of physical contact... it seems a bit off to just let go like that, doesn't it?

Is this really a save file with maximum affection level?

Otherwise, why is Chen Li's attitude towards me so different from his attitude towards the Little Silver Wolf in my Remembrance?

I'm not any worse than Silver Wolf, am I?

Of course, the Great Silver Wolf didn't have any improper thoughts about Chen Li. The Great Silver Wolf was simply angry about the differential treatment Chen Li gave it.

"You're not expecting me to hold you in my arms and gently coax you with something like, 'Okay, don't be angry anymore, give me a kiss and the pain will fly away,' are you?" Chen Li, who had been staring at by the Great Silver Wolf, suddenly spoke up.

A kind of overly concrete sensual fantasy, drawn from the Silver Wolf archives, popped up almost reflexively.

The Great Silver Wolf shuddered at the thought, then rubbed its arms as if it had been rubbed by something dirty.

"Come on! Don't say such cheesy things, okay? I'm begging you." The Great Silver Wolf turned its head away with a look of disgust.

"Okay. As long as you stop crying and making a fuss." Chen Li shrugged.

"I already told you I didn't cry or make a scene!" The Great Silver Wolf glared angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Li's tone was extremely perfunctory.

Silence fell again.

The Great Silver Wolf stood still, its gaze sweeping over the empty seats around it...

Apart from himself and Chen Li, there wasn't a single person in the area.

She felt like a student being punished by being made to stand, and Chen Li was the head teacher responsible for watching her.

The feeling of being alone with just the two of them made the Great Silver Wolf feel a little uncomfortable.

"When are those people finally coming out? Honestly, how come I never knew they were all hidden talents?" Great Silver Wolf shifted his shoulders uncomfortably, finally turning his gaze to the stage screen at the front of the playground, trying to change the subject.

The Great Silver Wolf was indeed trying to change the subject, but she was genuinely curious about it.

Silver Wolf's save file didn't mention that these people were all highly skilled; in the cartridge's data records, they all looked like ordinary Origami University teachers and students.

On the dominant screen, Aha and A Kivili are passionately elbowing each other.

Sparkle and Sparkle stood behind their Servants, cheering them on, while A Kivili and Aha fought back and forth, exchanging punches and kicks until the sky darkened and the battle raged on.

The Great Silver Wolf hadn't expected that the battle between the Aeon could be so simple and straightforward... it really was turn-based.

Although there are various dazzling special effects around him when he launches an attack, and there are also gorgeous close-up animations when he uses combat skills or ultimate moves, it is still a bit too ridiculous for A Kivili to attack in his Great Pom-Pom form.

The chubby Pom-Pom's head paired with serious combat effects creates such a jarring incongruity that you'd want to turn off the screen.

Is this a war of the Aeon?
