Chapter 2537 / Chapter 2538

Chen Li pointed behind the Great Silver Wolf.

The Great Silver Wolf turned its head in the direction Chen Li was pointing and looked down at the stage.

The playground, which could easily hold thousands of people, was now densely packed with millions of illusory figures.

The tourists from different servers, all suffering from lag, were now superimposed on the same layer. Countless semi-transparent figures were piled up on top of each other. Some had half their bodies stuck in other people's chests, some had their heads sticking out from other people's waists, and some were waving their hands in front of themselves in confusion, trying to figure out why they could see their own backs directly.

The place was teeming with people, incredibly noisy, and the entire playground looked utterly abstract.

"This is... oh, I remember now. These people are all stuck in the map because the server crashed." The Great Silver Wolf suddenly realized.

The entire playground was essentially a massive server created using Ether Editing, and it was a massive server with countless overlapping layers.

While Chen Li Extraction attributes and "coaxing" Aha to sleep, his own mass was so large that it caused the runtime space to fill up, directly bursting this Ether Editing field. All the viewers on all other servers were overlaid into the same layer.

Fortunately, this extreme situation seems to have been considered when this Ether Editing field was set up, so these tourists who might have died from overlapping are currently in a phantom state, and no irreversible physical accidents have occurred yet.

"... But what does that have to do with me? You were the one who burst it." The Great Silver Wolf slowly turned its head to look at Chen Li.

Chen Li didn't speak, but simply watched the Great Silver Wolf quietly.

"I'm a victim too. How can you bear to suddenly add so much work for me?" The Great Silver Wolf turned its head slightly, avoiding Chen Li's gaze through the Golden Honkai-Moe King's hood.

Chen Li remained silent, simply continuing to gaze quietly at the Great Silver Wolf.

The Great Silver Wolf could feel those eyes peering through the hood onto its face, but it remained motionless.

"Okay, okay, I know." The Great Silver Wolf's cheeks began to flush slightly uncontrollably, but he eventually turned his face away, muttering as he lowered his head.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Silver Wolf is waiting for you over there. She said that with her abilities, she simply couldn't rebuild such a complex Ether Editing architecture as you. Try to clean up the scene before midnight. There's a reward for finishing." Chen Li nodded, cheering for Great Silver Wolf.

Although it sounds like a long time, from the mysterious program prepared by the Twelve Chrysos Heirs to the sudden appearance of the Great Silver Wolf causing trouble, to the Great Silver Wolf's cassette being stolen by Sparkle, to Sparkle and Sparkle starting a game battle, to Aha's fake death and rebirth, to the Aha Subjugation Battle, and finally to Chen Li cleaning up the mess... it has only been less than an hour so far.

"Perfect timing to settle scores with that guy." The Great Silver Wolf curled its lip and strode off in the direction Chen Li Silver Wolf pointed to, without turning its head.

Her long legs, encased in hot pants, moved swiftly, but rather than seeking revenge on Silver Wolf, her current posture resembled that of someone fleeing.

I fled from that gaze that made my ears burn.

"Hey, snap out of it. Or is it that you prefer this kind of wild, mature woman to a little loli like Silver Wolf?" Vita walked over from the side, patted Chen Li on the shoulder as he stared in the direction the Great Silver Wolf had left, her tone slightly teasing.

Vita, tired of watching the interactions between Sparkle and Sparkle, decided to tease Chen Li instead.

"So? Did you have fun in the Invitation Space?" Chen Li withdrew his gaze, ignoring Vita's words, and instead asked in return.

"I'm fairly happy. But it would have been even better if you were the one entering the Invitation Space with me." Vita sighed softly, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly to look at Chen Li, and said meaningfully.

As for what a lone man and woman will do next after Invitation Space, that's really hard to guess.

"What? You want to go on a date with me?" Chen Li turned his head to the side.

"N-no, not really..." Vita cupped her face in her hands, twisting her shoulders a little shyly.

"Oh, so you want to be my enemy?" Chen Li raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"..." Vita raised her fist in annoyance and lightly punched Chen Li's shoulder.

"Just kidding." Chen Li rubbed his shoulder where he'd been hit.

"You still have the mind to joke around?" Vita withdrew her hand, her tone becoming serious.

Vita, however, felt that Chen Li should put some thought into how to comfort certain people... Some of the female characters among the Twelve Chrysos Heirs, whose mysterious small-scale commercial performance was completely ruined by the Great Silver Wolf's intrusion, were probably holding back their anger right now.

"Of course," Chen Li said, crossing his arms over his chest with certainty.

Vita didn't press further, but instead turned her gaze into the distance.

At the spot where the Silver Wolf was, the Great Silver Wolf was pressing down on the Silver Wolf's head with one hand, while the Silver Wolf was waving its hands in an attempt to fight back. The two were playfully wrestling back and forth.

"Why don't you use the magical Imaginary Value to solve the server overload problem?" Vita suddenly asked, watching the pair of Silver Wolves and the Great Silver Wolf fighting each other.

Vita would call the Fictional Historian, this Miracle Card, an eternal god.

In theory, Chen Li could instantly restore any server that crashed for any reason to its original state with just a flick of his finger.

"Imaginary Value doesn't just fall from the sky."

Chapter 2537

"Besides, if the server can be restored, can these people stuck in the map be restored?" Chen Li shrugged.

"Can't you?" Vita blinked in surprise.

"Sure, but it will cost more Imaginary Value," Chen Li added.

"Oh? Is that really the reason?" Vita stroked her chin with interest, scrutinizing Chen Li from head to toe.

"Otherwise what?" Chen Li asked without changing his expression.

"For example... if we restore it using Imaginary Values, and accidentally restore it all, we might have to go through the small commercial performance process all over again. Isn't that right?" Vita took a step closer, her smile carrying a deeper meaning.

"What are you saying? I don't understand." Chen Li looked away.

However... broadcasting a large-scale "mini-commercial performance" live in front of the entire galaxy is still a bit too embarrassing.

"Honestly, I gave you the Lv999 cartridge, and you're still so bad. You can't even build a multi-layer server." Great Silver Wolf swiped rapidly across the Ether Editing panel, mocking Silver Wolf beside him without turning his head.

As Great Silver Wolf edited, the overlapping figures on the playground caused by the servers being merged into the same layer were disappearing one after another at a visible speed.

Although it took Great Silver Wolf an entire afternoon to build this playground with multiple servers running simultaneously, rebuilding it now would only take a maximum of ten minutes.

Since the code to rebuild this Ether Editing realm already exists, all that's left is to press Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V.

Most importantly, the Great Silver Wolf is now a level 1000 [God Silver Wolf].

"I have a save file with maxed-out affinity." Silver Wolf glanced at the dazzling array of code in front of Great Silver Wolf, pursed his lips, and suddenly said this.

"Come on. You have a save file with maxed-out favorability? I took your save file with maxed-out favorability, but I haven't seen Chen Li's favorability towards me that high." The Great Silver Wolf sneered, his fingers still flying across the screen.

"... Are you misunderstanding something?" Silver Wolf blinked, a subtle glint in his eyes as he looked at Great Silver Wolf.

"What do you mean?" The Great Silver Wolf paused for a moment, then turned to look at the Silver Wolf.

"Did I tell you... this 'full favorability save file' refers to Chen Li's 'full favorability' towards me?" A sly smile slowly curved the corners of Silver Wolf's mouth.

"Huh?" The Great Silver Wolf was stunned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

"You're in trouble. You're about to fall in love." Silver Wolf tiptoed, patted her shoulder, and whispered in Great Silver Wolf's ear in a knowing tone.

"I knew it! I knew it was you who made my heart race and my face heat up when I saw Chen Li walk onto the stage!" Great Silver Wolf glared at Silver Wolf, furious and embarrassed.

And as soon as he thought about it, the image of that scene in the Great Silver Wolf's mind replayed uncontrollably... that boy who made the whole world freeze with every step he took, that profile of him who remained focused and composed amidst the torrent of data.

"... Huh?" Silver Wolf was taken aback when he saw Great Silver Wolf's face turn red to the roots of his ears.

"You bastard, are you still pretending?" The Great Silver Wolf gritted its teeth.

"But... I haven't activated the save file yet." Silver Wolf shrugged, his tone innocent.

"Alright, stop pretending. Hurry up and uninstall the save file for me." The Great Silver Wolf frowned.

"Why are you so stubborn? I've already told you I haven't activated the save file yet." Silver Wolf was getting impatient.

"I don't believe it." The Great Silver Wolf sneered.

"You forced me to do this!" Silver Wolf took a deep breath and raised his right hand.

"What do you want to do?" The Great Silver Wolf took a half step back warily.

"Activate save file." Silver Wolf snapped his fingers.

With a crisp snap of her fingers, a faint electric current instantly passed through the Great Silver Wolf's body, causing her shoulder to tremble slightly. But apart from that... she didn't seem to feel any other change.

The Great Silver Wolf looked down at its own hands, then looked up at the other person.

"You... you were really playing me." The Great Silver Wolf breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Silver Wolf with a mocking expression.

"Oh? Is that so?" Silver Wolf tilted his head.

"Otherwise what?" the Great Silver Wolf retorted.

"Wow, look! Chen Li is kissing Alternate-Color Cyrene!" Silver Wolf chuckled, then suddenly looked in Chen Li's direction and exclaimed in exaggerated surprise.

"What?!" A blush instantly spread across the Great Silver Wolf's face, and its gaze shot fiercely toward Chen Li's direction.

The Great Silver Wolf was curious to see which vixen dared to cheat on him with a man!

But as far as she could see, there was only Chen Li standing at the edge of the stage, lazily stretching, with not a single man in sight.

"Oh my, you're all red. A young girl's blush doesn't lie... Haha!" Silver Wolf leaned close to Great Silver Wolf, looked up at the face that was so red it was almost steaming, and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Turn off the save file right now!" Great Silver Wolf grabbed Silver Wolf's head and pressed her down a few inches.

"No, no, I won't shut it off." Silver Wolf didn't struggle even with his head being pressed down; he just tilted his head back and made a face at Great Silver Wolf.

"Turn it off. Or I'll spank you." The Great Silver Wolf removed his hand from the Silver Wolf's head and cracked his knuckles.

"Who taught you to hit people with the Ansai Waist Drum..." Silver Wolf subconsciously covered his buttocks, took two steps back, and the smug smile on his face finally faded a bit.

"Chen Li," the Great Silver Wolf coldly uttered.

"That Chen Li guy... I was clearly helping him level up his main account, and he dared to betray me! Then don't blame me for being ruthless." Silver Wolf curled his lip in displeasure.

Silver Wolf snapped his fingers, and a surge of electricity coursed through Great Silver Wolf body once more.

"... That's it?" The Great Silver Wolf looked down at itself and asked uncertainly.

"That's good. Otherwise, what kind of dazzling special effects did you think we needed? Alright, you can stay here and fix the server yourself. I'm going to settle accounts with Chen Li." Silver Wolf patted non-existent dust off his hands, clenched his fists, and then strode aggressively toward Chen Li.

The Great Silver Wolf stood still, watching as the Silver Wolf walked up to Chen Li. It bared its teeth and claws and roared at Chen Li, but Chen Li grabbed it by the waist and pulled it into his arms, patting its bottom several times like playing Ansai Waist Drum.

The Silver Wolf's screams and protests could be faintly heard across half the playground.

The Great Silver Wolf withdrew its gaze and looked back at the Ether Editing screen in front of it. The reconstruction progress had reached 99.9%, with only one area remaining to be covered.

The Great Silver Wolf's gaze fell on the pop-up notification box—"Repair the small commercial performance program?"

Looking at the prompt, the Great Silver Wolf remained silent for a moment, its finger hovering above the option. Its fingertip twitched slightly, and after a soft sigh, it chose to stop.

What I can't have, you can't have either!

As the last bit of progress was completed, a faint blue light silently spread outwards from the Great Silver Wolf.

The beam of light, like a gentle ripple, swept across the stage, the audience seats, and every corner of the playground.

Where the light ripples passed, the overlapping phantoms were gently separated by an unseen hand and returned to their respective layers.

Countless servers, like neatly combed threads, returned to where they belonged.

"Dear audience members! Welcome back! This is your favorite Hua Hua!" Sparkle stood in the center of the stage again, and spotlights converged on her from all directions, making her white twin ponytails sparkle.

Chapter 2538

"Thanks to everyone's tireless efforts, the Aha Subjugation Battle has officially ended! Thank you to every warrior who participated in the battle, and thank you to every viewer who cheered for Hua Hua in the live stream! You guys were awesome!" Sparkle raised her hands high, a bright smile on her face.

Behind the Sparkle, countless comments scrolled in real time on the large screen at the back of the stage. The torrent of text, whether it was criticism, cheering, confession, or exclaiming "666," shone like a flowing galaxy in the night.

This is a real-time bullet screen effect that Sparkle asked Great Silver Wolf to create. According to Sparkle, it was to make the audience feel more involved.

"Now, next up... is the real grand finale of the night! Please welcome our most, most, most magnificent Miraculous Forger to present a mysterious gift to the most outstanding graduate of this Origami University!" Sparkle raised her arm high, and the spotlight moved to the side of the stage with her movement.

Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, Chen Li, dressed in his iconic Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit, strode onto the stage.

Guided by the Sparkle, the main camera slowly turned to the other side of the stage, precisely capturing a figure who seemed clearly unaccustomed to such a spectacle.

Firefly stood at the edge of the stage, her hands clasped in front of her. Her clear eyes widened slightly when she suddenly realized she was on the big screen. She shyly raised her hand and waved gently at the camera, her movements so small as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.

"This is our outstanding graduate with the most Origami University Credits this year— Firefly! Although you may not be familiar with her, she achieved the highest score in the Aha Subjugation Battle just now!"

Undoubtedly one of the biggest dark horses in this graduation exam!

Sparkle quickly walked to Firefly's side, grabbed her arm, and pulled her from the edge of the stage to the center of the spotlight.

"And this person's most deeply hidden identity is— the Master of Hua Hua, the most outstanding and adorable streamer in the entire New Penacony!"

The entire room fell silent, followed by a flurry of comments scrolling across the screen.

"Turns out she was the one who won without lifting a finger."

"Is this Hua Hua's Master?"

"My Master is so cute, how come I've been hiding him all this time!"
