People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

As the title says, the editor just talked to me and decided to put it on the shelves on Friday.

So sad. I just said in the comments yesterday that it would be available on the 17th, but it changed today.

The bad news is that the new update may be gone once it's on the shelves.

The good news is that there will be ten chapters before Friday.

It can be considered as bringing forward the update.

Well, the word count is almost there, 100 is enough. I’ll talk about the rest after I put the article on the shelves.

Chapter 7: Flame Reed’s Weakness?

Before Huodou entered the second stage, Yanwei was still very optimistic and could even play around with Gojo Satoru's jokes.

However, when it came to the second life of Huotou, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

The flames created by the activation of their own Honkai energy had little effect on the Imps. Of course, this was within the expectations of the two. After all, this was not a game, and as a creature that fights with fire, it was normal for the Imps to have a high level of fire resistance.

But what Yan Wei didn't expect was that her activation was of no use to the Huotou.

After the two leisurely defeated the first stage of the evil spirit, Yan Wei took advantage of the evil spirit entering the second stage of transformation and came directly in front of it, intending to withstand the flames after the transformation, and then directly activate it and carry it away.

As a result, Yan Wei discovered something was wrong just after injecting the activation ability.

Didn’t this evil spirit just transform and accumulate power once? Why is it accumulating power again?

Then, she heard Xia Ling shouting in the distance.

"Get out of the way! Why is this monster going all the way right after entering the continuous burning mode?"

Yan Wei finally came to his senses and quickly stepped back, but was still blown away by the blast.

However, what’s even more outrageous is yet to come.

"No?" Xia Ling, who had been hiding far away for fear of being killed by the aftermath, was confused: "This evil has already released a nuclear explosion, why hasn't it stopped burning?"

The captain of Changao Paradise should know that the Huotou will be resurrected after the end of the first stage, and at the same time charge up power to launch a fire blast, and then enter a continuous burning state.

After this state lasts for a period of time, if the ice accumulation bar is not full, it will enter the charging stage again, and then release a multi-stage range damage, which is generally called a nuclear explosion.

After the nuclear explosion, the evil spirit will exit the continuous burning state, and then it will be a good opportunity to output.

Of course, not many people would get to this point, and they would basically be killed instantly.

"Did the activation I just did give it a buff?" Yan Wei was closer, her face changed, and she quickly felt it carefully, and found that it was indeed the case.

For living organisms, the activation of flame reeds relies on rapid metabolism to produce uncontrollable excess energy, resulting in loss of energy control and causing combustion and explosion.

But for the Huo Dou, burning and explosion would not cause much damage, and the excessive energy production would begin to cause it to enter a state of continuous burning repeatedly.

In other words, the only semi-negative effect here is the rapid metabolism.

"Don't worry, I can feel that the activity of the cells in the body of the evil spirit is decreasing rapidly, and its potential is almost exhausted!"

Yan Wei dodged another claw attack from the sky: "If we hold on for a while, it will kill itself!"

"How long will it take?" Xia Ling shouted.

"One minute at most! I'm already using my full power. If it gets any hotter I'm afraid it will explode!" The flames on Yanwei's body grew brighter, and it was obvious that he was already using his power at a high load.

Finally, with a roar, the body of the evil spirit fell to the ground.

"I've never felt that a wudou was so difficult to fight."

He knocked the evil spirit to the ground just in time for the countdown, and watched it turn into a point of light and disappear. Yan Wei took a breath and gritted his teeth.

"It's okay, at least the result is good." Xia Ling was also exhausted and sat directly on a broken wall on the ground: "At least your weakness was exposed in the trial space, not in the battle outside, otherwise you would have suffered a big loss."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Ling's body began to gradually become illusory.

"Ah, it's time to help." Xia Ling looked down at her gradually transparent body and said with a smile: "I'm going back to enjoy Ai Li's embrace. Come on."

Yan Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Go ahead, remember to turn on empathy."

After watching Xia Ling disappear as if returning to Valhalla, Yan Wei looked at the three portals that slowly appeared in front of him.

The portals this time are rather strange, one red, one purple, and one blue. The red one, as always, represents battle, the blue one is a safe corner, and the purple one...

"Data turbulence?"

Returning to the Paradise Living Room, Xia Ling, who had just sat down next to Ai Li, was confused.

"Although I don't know what node this is, I guess you modified it based on the Hedge Path."

"plus one."

[Ah... That's right, you can think of it as a variation of Hedge Path.]

[However, there is one difference. After entering the data turbulence, the next three nodes will be replaced by turbulence nodes. You will most likely not encounter a battle here, but you may encounter many unexpected scenes.]

"Uh, unexpected? How unexpected is that?"

【Inspired by Summer Life and Golden Courtyard. 】

"Okay, now I know how unexpected it is."

Xia Ling said to Yan Wei in the channel with a sad face: "I hope he is okay."

"The smile in your voice is almost overflowing..." Yan Wei sighed helplessly and stepped into the portal: "Let me see what's going on?"

At the same time, Ai Li and Xia Ling, whose curiosity was aroused, also looked at the screen.

【Data turbulence】

[In the midst of turbulence, you were drawn into an unknown land. This place may come from the fantasy or memory of a certain hero, or it may come from a parallel world observed by Su. In short, this area is very abnormal.]

[You explore forward until you come to a castle made of ice. Under the throne made of solid ice, you see a cold, white-haired man. He sits majestically on the throne, looking down at you.]

[The white-haired man's imposing aura and the chill in the environment enveloped you, and you couldn't help but shiver. The man on the throne didn't seem to want to speak, so how were you going to start? ]

[Ask the man where this place is (obtain the collection - route map)]

[Ask the man why he is sitting here (get a one-time Kevin assist item)]

[Show him your nervousness and fear (get a joke, and there is an additional chance to get a collection of Kevin's jokes)]

After reading this abstract node introduction, Ellie felt the corners of her mouth twitching. The familiar scene in front of her reminded her of a movie she once asked everyone to shoot together.

(Hmm, Kevin, Kevin, I didn't expect that although you look cold on the surface, you actually saved such data in private. Sure enough, you are still the same you as before, and you have never changed?)

"Cool~" Xia Ling felt the temperature in the reception room drop when she read halfway through: "System, you know how to do things. I give you a thumbs up."

"If I choose the last one, I will get Kevin's comfort, right?"

[That's right, and after Kevin comforts you, he will be too embarrassed to say that he was just stuck in the ice. If you take the initiative to find out and help him, you will get a collection of bad jokes. ]

“I want a copy now.”

(Yes, yes, Miss Fairy wants it too. Woohoo, why can’t I speak freely in this body?)

(However, since the data copied by the system contains this thing, Kevin must have it too, humph, let's use Yu Duchen to ask him later?)

Chapter 8 I will be cool~

At this point in time, Yan Wei had already started talking to Kevin.

"This... big brother? Why... are you sitting here?"

Although he already knew the answer, Yan Wei still pretended to be serious and asked Kevin.

As for the reason...hot knowledge, the system's trial can be recorded in full.

"..."

"Because of me, I can't leave here."

Kevin sat on the ice throne, his voice as serious as ever.

"Could it be that... you are sitting here to maintain some strange seal? Like a monster that will devour the entire continent if it is released?"

Yan Wei leaned back tactically with a surprised expression.

Kevin's mouth twitched and he whispered:

"Stuck..."

"what?"

"The back, elbows, and... in short, everything is stuck."

Sure enough, Kevin and the Ice Throne fit together perfectly, as if they were one.

Seeing the stunned look on the girl's face, Kevin seemed a little embarrassed.

"Thank you..."

Under Yanwei's careful control, the small flame melted the ice between Kevin and the ice throne. Fortunately, Kevin was not burned this time like Xia Huo did.

"Thank you..." Kevin was as frugal with his words as usual when he was not telling jokes.

"Why... did you sit on it?" Yan Wei was puzzled.

“Because it’s there.”

Kevin paused and added, "Don't you think that size is just right for my body?"

"You are definitely the kind of person who, when seeing the guardrail, can't help but want to stick your head through the gap, but in the end you can't get back out and get trapped." After a while, Yan Wei made a precise complaint.

"Anyway, thank you. This thing is my thank you gift to you."

As if he was overwhelmed by Yanwei's complaints, Kevin was silent for a while and took out a blue crystal petal from his pocket.

"This was given to me by a good friend of mine. It seems to be of some use here."

After quickly stuffing the prop representing Kevin's assistance into Yanwei's hands, Kevin immediately said goodbye to Yanwei as if he was escaping. It seemed that he was hit hard by Yanwei's complaints.

(Oh my, Kevin is indeed a shy boy. Also, isn’t this… the “key” I gave Kevin?)

(However, this seems to be only part of it. What did the screen say just now? Kevin’s fighting prop? Does this thing have this function?)

“I really don’t know what effect it would have if these videos were shown to the people of World Serpent.”

Yan Wei couldn't help but laugh as he watched Kevin hurried away.

"Then let's not do that." Xia Ling imitated Kevin's voice and Ai Li's tone in the channel: "I will be cool~"

"Hahahahahahaha, I suggest that your pun be included in Kevin's collection of bad jokes."

For a moment, the trial was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

As Kevin's figure completely disappeared, a new portal emerged in the node.

The nodes of data turbulence are relatively fixed, and there is no room for choice. After passing each node, there is only one portal that appears.

He entered the portal with ease, and this time the scene was in a city.

Yan Wei looked around and quickly found the event target in this node.

Or rather, even finding this word to describe it was a bit redundant, because waves of hearty and wild laughter had already reached her ears.

"Hahahahaha, do you feel this burning anger?"

"Let us burn up in this fierce roasting and disappear into thin air!"

"Cry for your own weakness and stupidity, and regret will appear and stand in my way!"

"Hahahahaha-"

"Oh my god, what do you mean by broadcasting the original text?" Yan Wei almost lost his balance.

【Data turbulence】

[In the midst of turbulence, you were drawn into an unknown land. This place may come from the fantasy or memory of a certain hero, or it may come from a parallel world observed by Su. In short, this area is very abnormal.]

[Right now, you have come to an open-air barbecue restaurant that looks very popular. Although the owner looks very wild and unapproachable, judging from the crowded stall, it is clear that the barbecue chef's skills are enough to make people ignore his small character flaws. So, facing this barbecue stall, what are you going to do? ]

[Go line up for some barbecue (getting Master Qian's special barbecue can improve your physical strength, but there may be unknown consequences)]

[Go set up a stall and compete with Master Qian for customers]

[Thank you, I don’t like barbecue]

"If I wasn't so bad at grilling, I'd be tempted to try option 2."
