Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 796: Would it be more appropriate to let her come?

"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do." Tiandis said with some regret. Although a long time has passed and his temperament has changed a lot, there are still some things rooted in his bones that will not change due to changes in the outside world. A long time ago, when the man named Tumi was studying the holy artifact of the kingship, he divided the magic power into chaos and order according to its properties. But perhaps this difference is not only reflected in the nature of magic, but also in everyone's soul.

Therefore, girls of Chaos Kingdom are more likely to accept their own ideas, and their souls show a realistic side. However, no matter how girls of Order Kingdom change, they will always stand on the opposite side of themselves because they always have naive fantasies.

Isn’t it naive to think that you can change the world without paying anything, sacrificing anything, or giving up anything?
Let me teach you this principle.

"It's almost time."

She raised her head and glanced at the distant night. Although it was a little blurry due to the blockade, she could vaguely see the cold frosty white sky in the distance. The cold stars were lonely, and the clouds piled up in the night sky looked like mountains and gave people a huge and heavy feeling.

"What's almost done?!"

Alice was alert. Could it be that the exchange plot had ended and the fight was about to begin? However, the cartridge had not yet been activated. Wouldn't it be courting death if the fight started now? She had to think of a way to delay the time...

"Of course it's your cassette." Tiantis smiled and said, "It's been so long, I guess it should have been activated successfully, right?"

!! ?
The secret that had been concealed was exposed in front of her, and the other party seemed to have noticed it a long time ago. Not to mention Alice, even the other companions were shocked. The golden-haired maid looked at Tiantis in disbelief and stammered again: "You, you, you, how did you know that!?"

"You seem very confident!" Alice sneered after hearing this explanation. She often encountered this kind of plot when playing games in the past. The villain boss clearly had the upper hand, but never killed the protagonists. Instead, he let them go for all kinds of inexplicable reasons, and the protagonists would get angry because of this, as if being looked down upon by the enemy was an unforgivable thing. She always wanted to complain that this was a good thing. If the boss didn't let them go, you would be dead.

It was exposed like this!

"There's nothing to worry about." Tiandis said, "In fact, this is my purpose. I heard that Fei'er suffered a loss when facing your game magic. This made me very curious and wanted to experience the magic of the game console myself. Of course, it's not a lie when I said I like to communicate with young people. The invitation I just sent to you is absolutely sincere. There is no contradiction between the two, right?"

Alice suddenly realized, and thought to herself that it was not because I didn't disguise myself well enough, but because my companions' acting skills were not good enough, which made the boss see the flaw and selectively ignore what Tiantis said before.

"Didn't I tell you that I learned a lot about the Earth world through the Bridge to Heaven, so it's normal for me to have some knowledge of the most famous game company on Earth in the 28th century, right?" Tiantis explained.

Since she had been discovered, Alice simply stopped hiding and took out the game console and cartridges that had been hidden behind her. Tiantis's eyes fell on these two magical props from another world. After looking at them with interest for a while, he nodded thoughtfully: "This is the latest Super Level Player game console. The people at Game Command Company are quite good at designing it. But, why do they have to divide the cartridges into eight pieces when making the game?"

"Since you know we are stalling for time," Linger asked, "Why do you still let it go? You don't seem to be worried at all?"

“Please don’t treat me as a blind person, Miss Alice.” This made Tiantis speechless. “Your other hand is always placed behind your back. Anyone can see that there is something strange, right? Besides, your magical game console and cartridges were the focus of the report submitted by Dickens, and they are also the medium for the magic of the game. It is normal to carry such a key item with you. Besides, -”

Now it's her turn to face this situation, and she can understand the feelings of the protagonists: You arrogant guy, you really pissed me off!
"I hope you won't regret your arrogance later!"

I'm just a talented gamer.

Tiandis paused for a moment and continued, "You and your companions are too calm. You didn't show any worry or despair that you should have when you are in a desperate situation. This is certainly due to your strong psychological quality, but I'm afraid it's also because you still have some tricks up your sleeve and feel that you have hope of turning the defeat around, so you are so calm, right?"

But she felt something was odd, she couldn't put her finger on it.

Then she realized something was wrong and looked up suddenly: "Wait, how do you know the full name of the game console? And you know so much about the game command company?"

Alice thought about it and thought, "It seems to make sense."

This question was obviously directed at Alice, and the golden-haired maid replied without even thinking, "How would I know about such things?"

She couldn't say it, but Linger could see it: given Tiandis's personality, even if she was concerned about things in the Earth world, she should be concerned about history, culture, technology, and institutions, which can actually change the civilization of Mirror Star. Why would she be concerned about the game industry that can't be replicated on Mirror Star? In the final analysis, that doesn't meet the needs of the Eden Project, and it's of no help to her and their ideals.

Would a person who claims to be a realist do such a meaningless thing?
Obviously, there must be other reasons for her attention to the Game Command Company, and it might be related to Alice's game magic. However, Ling Ge did not have time to speak out his guess, because suddenly a cold mechanical female voice sounded, echoing in the empty Indorsis Bridge in the middle of the night -

The ID Verification Was Passed The New Cassette Was Activated

The cassette that Gloria touched was finally activated successfully.

Compared with the previous intermittent fault sound accompanied by noise, this time the prompt sound became clearer and smoother, so much so that after hearing this familiar mechanical female voice, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: Sure enough, the fault occurred on the cassette, and as long as a new cassette was replaced, it could still be used normally.

The happiest person about this was Alice. The anger she had felt from being looked down upon by Tiantis had long since disappeared. She grinned like a quality player who had cleared the game without taking any damage: "Ha, the cartridge is activated. Let's see how you're going to escape this time!"

Apparently, the game console boosted her confidence, so that the original "How should I escape" turned into "How should you escape?". Tiantis didn't care about this and smiled slightly: "I'll wait and see, Miss Alice."

Alice didn't waste any words. She snorted coldly and forcefully inserted the newly activated cartridge into the slot of the game console. With a crisp snapping sound, the next moment the mechanical girl's prompt sounded again: [Please Choose Your Player]

The golden maid was stunned for a moment before she realized that after her player level was upgraded, the game console also unlocked new functions. Now when starting the game, she can choose who will play the cartridge. But is there any need to ask? She gave her name without thinking. This is also normal. Apart from the genius player, who else is qualified to be the opponent of the big boss?

But before she could say her name, a calm and firm voice suddenly came from the side: "Let Miss Gloria come."

"Eh!?"

Two people were stunned, one of them was Gloria, and the other was naturally Alice. She didn't understand what Lingge was thinking, actually letting someone who had never played the game to fight the Boss. Although Olvera and Yieta had never played the game before, they had no choice. Now that there is a better choice (genius player), why should they give up the main thing?

What made her even more devastated was that the game console actually approved Ling's application!

Player Gloria Has Confirmed

The Game Is Loading Now

Please Be Patient And Wait

“Ahhhhhhh, Lingge, what have you done!” Alice was stunned for a long while before she became furious. To this, the young man explained: “Although you may not believe this, my hunch tells me that it would be more appropriate for Miss Gloria to play this game.”

Everyone knew that the premonition he was talking about was not a premonition in the general sense, but the grace magic that naturally awakened after he became a Sequence 9 priest, and it had played a lot of roles in his past journeys.

What's more, young people are always calm and steady, so he must have his reasons for making such a choice.

What else could Alice do? She could only accept the fact with tears in her eyes, and at most she said something cruel: "Damn Ling Ge, if I lose this time, I will never forgive you..."

But before she could finish her harsh words, the faint blue light that overflowed from between her fingers drowned out all the sounds on the bridge, shrouding the world in a sea of ​​0s and 1s, accompanied by the constant prompt tone of the game console -
