Chapter 110: Chapter 110: End, Rewards, and a New Simulation
An endless expanse of space immersed in infinite darkness. The universe was adorned with brilliant stars, resembling countless gemstones scattered across the profound sky. In this vast cosmic expanse, a celestial ship floated quietly, like a pearl in the cosmic sea, starkly contrasting with the serene universe.
The Astral Express was quietly parked on the track. The dim silver-colored carriages sparkled with a faint glow, blending harmoniously with the surroundings, creating a serene atmosphere.
This was the legacy of "Trailblazer"—Astral Express. After being repaired, it had embarked on a new journey of exploration.
Chase slowly opened his eyes, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling, suddenly feeling a sense of melancholy like rotten fruit.
His thoughts were a bit confused now, and he hadn't figured out the situation. He was handling the Honkai bomb in the Arc City just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was back here.
Came hastily, left hastily. This was Chase's evaluation of this journey. Thrown over without any preparation, and thrown back without any preparation.
Before coming, he forgot to ask Welt for more information about that side, indirectly leading to a passive situation. Leaving was even more sudden; he didn't even have time to clean up the aftermath.
He just solved the Honkai bomb, and he was kicked out of the game. The simulator didn't even want to give him the time for a song to explain what happened, making Chase a bit puzzled for a while.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Chase closed his eyes, felt it, and then suddenly froze.
The "Infinite Corridor" was no longer perceptible.
It wasn't that he lost the ability to create the Infinite Corridor, but the connection between Chase and the Infinite Corridor that imprisoned Durandal was severed.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Chase could only accept this fact.
But without him providing Honkai energy, how long could the Infinite Corridor hold under Durandal's command?
He was with Kiana before he left, and once Durandal came out of the Infinite Corridor, where would Kiana go?
Chase felt a headache coming on. Perhaps he should go back now, handle everything, and then come back, but he couldn't do that.
The simulator was currently evaluating the mainline mission, and the new act had not yet begun. This made Chase a bit difficult.
Silently sitting up from the bed, Chase collected his somewhat scattered thoughts, and only then did he have the energy to check the situation in the room.
"Watch carefully, Bella. This is how magical girls play."
"Ooooh! Queen, you're amazing! Crush the enemies beneath your feet!"
The two small figures sat in front of the screen, a bit excited. Perhaps they were too immersed, but for a moment, they didn't notice that Chase had already sat up from the bed.
With a bit of curiosity after observing the somewhat messy layout of the room and confirming that it was his own room, Chase finally looked at the screen.
It was the game he had introduced to Sirin before—the two characters on the screen were currently engaged in an intense battle. The skill effects were dazzling, flashing one after another. Someone who didn't know might think someone was welding in the room.
Outside the screen, Sirin held the game controller with both hands, focused gaze, and swift hand speed, looking like a pro gamer. On the side, Bella excitedly clenched her fists, nervous yet with eyes shining full of anticipation.
Well, they came to play games in my room.
Let me see what's going on.
Quietly getting off the bed, Chase approached the two small figures. They didn't notice Chase emerging behind them.
Taking a closer look at the IDs on the other side, Chase was somewhat surprised.
Oh, who do we have here? It's an old acquaintance.
[Silver Wolf77]
Although the ID changed, Chase didn't think much of it, finding it somewhat amusing.
Losing underlings, boasting without merit—hmph. A smirk appeared on Chase's face as he recalled the opponent's frustrated expression after their previous battle. His mood couldn't help but brighten a bit.
The ongoing match had intensified, both sides unleashing powerful moves with dazzling special effects filling the screen. However, in the end, Sirin fell a step short, losing the match. The angelic hair on both sides of her head drooped down, giving her a somewhat dejected look. Bella, on the other hand, timely consoled her Queen, saying something like, "You only lost a dozen times, you'll win next time," in a cryptic and hard-to-understand manner, leaving Sirin feeling quite defeated.
Chase silently observed the entire match, feeling that Sirin was indeed not very skilled at the game. He offered his assessment, "Sirin, request a rematch. Let big brother help you annihilate her completely."
"Waaah!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind, startling both small figures. Sirin almost threw her controller, and the Spear of the Abyss nearly followed suit. Only then did they realize the voice was strangely familiar. Turning around, they discovered it was their long-awaited big brother.
"Big brother (Master)!"
In a surprised exclamation, Sirin and Bella rushed towards Chase, catching him off guard. They happily hugged him, rubbing against him like two little cats. Then, with excited eyes, they looked up at him, shining with delight.
"Okay, okay, let me get up first." Chase chuckled helplessly, patting the heads of the two girls and getting up from the floor.
Both girls sat on the floor in a duck-like posture, heads raised, their eyes shining brightly. The discarded controllers and the forgotten game lay beside them. Their eyes revealed unmistakable joy.
"What are you doing, coming to play games in my room? Let me see what's going on."
Chase quietly approached the two small figures, who remained oblivious to his presence.
Taking a closer look at the IDs on the other side, Chase was somewhat surprised.
"Oh, who do we have here? It's an old acquaintance."
[Sirin:Why did you change your ID?]
[Silver Wolf77:???]
[Silver Wolf77:Are you deliberately picking a fight?!]
Chase scratched his head, not understanding why the other side suddenly got so agitated. He looked at Sirin beside him.
"Big brother, that person challenged Sister Herta in the space station, wanting her artifact. But Sister Hertafound out," Sirin leaned towards Chase, explaining in a low voice, "so Sister Herta banned her entire game account, and this is her new one."
Chase suddenly understood and raised an eyebrow, looking at Sirin.
"Why would anyone's subordinate dare to challenge Herta?"
"Stellaron Hunter," Bella added, approaching.
Chase nodded. "I see."
[Sirin:Hehe, I'm going to mock you! A silver wolf lost her game account, devastated and crying—so pitiful~]
[Your friend "Silver Wolf77" has logged off.]
Chase was satisfied, paying no attention to the current mood on the other side. He stood up, patted his butt, and prepared to leave.
"Sirin, Bella, let's go say hello to Miss Himeko."
"Okay!" Bella eagerly rushed out, and seeing this, Chase shook his head with a helpless smile.
"This child..."
As Chase spoke, he took a step forward but suddenly stopped. Sensing someone pulling him, he turned around in confusion to find that one of Sirin's small hands was tightly grabbing his clothes. A pair of golden eyes stared at him, emotions flowing within.
"Big brother," Sirin called, her voice faint and delicate.
"Yes, I'm here." Although Chase didn't understand what was happening, he still smiled and approached, reaching out to touch the girl's head. He slightly lowered his body, locking eyes with her.
A girl's feelings are like poetry, a poem with obscure and unfamiliar characters.
Chase was never good at analyzing poetry in his past life, and he still wasn't now. He didn't want to speculate on the girl's thoughts at the moment. What he could do now was simply be a listener.
"Big brother, if there's a place where Sirin can be useful, you must tell Sirin," the purple-haired girl hesitated for a long time, finally squeezing out this sentence, leaving Chase slightly stunned.
"Why would you say that?" Chase asked in confusion. "I've always relied on Sirin."
Saying this wasn't a problem, after all, Sirin's Stigmata did provide him with significant help, especially in the direct improvement of combat power.
However, Sirin shook her head. With a determined look in her eyes, she said, "When big brother uses the Stigmata, Sirin can feel it."
"Sirin doesn't want to be just a burden to big brother. Sirin wants to help big brother."
Chase didn't fully understand Sirin's meaning, perhaps she had already sensed it when he used his abilities in the mainline. But she couldn't do anything.
At that time, maybe she would just stay by his side, watching him fall into a deep sleep, knowing that he was in trouble but helpless. She could only clench her fists tightly, bite her lips, and wait silently.
"I understand," Chase nodded and reached out to touch the girl's head. Then, he slightly lowered his body, skillfully pressing their foreheads together.
[Assist: It's not shameful to gang up; victory is the truth. And you, my friend, you are the true hero.]
[Current Assist: None.]
[Inviteable Assistants: 1]
[Note: Binding assistance requires consent from the party involved.]
Chase pressed foreheads with the girl, smiling. "So, I'll leave it to Sirin."
["Chase" invites "Sirin" to be an assistant. Do you agree?]
These words suddenly sounded in Sirin's mind. She was slightly stunned, but quickly understood and chose to agree without hesitation.
"Yeah! Sirin will personally protect big brother!" The girl stepped back a bit, hands behind her back, slightly tilting her body, promising with a joyful smile.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she said, "Big brother."
As she spoke, she motioned for Chase to come closer with a flick of her hand.
"Lower a bit more." Seeing Chase approaching, Sirin added.
Chase thought Sirin wanted to say something privately and naturally cooperated.
Suddenly, the soft touch on his cheek left him momentarily stunned. It was like a petal drenched in honey. By the time Chase reacted, the little angel had already happily skipped out of the room.
Standing in place, Chase touched his cheek, only able to smile helplessly, shaking his head.
["Sirin" has accepted your invitation to assist. You can now summon her for assistance at any time.]
..........
In the train carriage, Chase sat next to the two small figures, chatting with Sirin.
"How about it, interested in going over there?" Himeko asked again, unable to let go of her coffee. She sipped it gracefully while questioning.
"I have that thought," Chase nodded, looking at the two girls, who were probably already eager to go.
The two girls remained silent, only smiling. However, the restless swinging of their little feet on the sofa indicated their current excitement.
"Well, that's good too." Himeko nodded, noticing that Chase was staring at the floating ship outside the window, not speaking anymore. She maintained her elegant smile.
Chase wasn't actually looking at the spaceship; he had noticed something else.
[Mainline First Act: Heavenly Meteor Completed.]
[Evaluation: I can do whatever I want.]
[Mission Rewards: Inherent Talent—Tranquil Life.]
[Tranquil Life (Purple): You yearn for a peaceful life and strive to maintain it. You dislike disruptions to your tranquil life and detest those who disturb it. (A tranquil life and you mutually complement each other. What sinister thoughts could you have? You only want a peaceful life.)]
Before Chase could take a closer look, he noticed something in another place, raising his eyebrows.
