What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

Inside the cockpit all week, the pilot, who had not yet returned to his seat, sat beside Xilin's body, his vision blurred.

A minute later, Zhao Si thought of the most crucial question:

With Sirin dead, can Phoenix, now all alone, still control the remaining Honkai energy?

"Of course, we can never be apart, can we?"

"Yes, so what?"

In the framework of psychopathic understanding, as long as there is a soul, death is not the end.

Phoenix then spread his limbs, and his psychoframe emitted a blue-green light, enveloping himself and all the Honkai energy turbulence.

(BGM: Trust You)

"If we can merge together at the end of our lives, wouldn't that be wonderful? ☆~"

Under the watchful eyes of the world, the blue-green light that swallowed the Honkai energy turbulence transformed into a pair of phoenix wings, which attached themselves to the backpack, carrying Phoenix out of the atmosphere and once again into the vast universe.

Before him lay only desolation and solitude, yet Zhao Si felt utterly at peace:

"Countless loves intertwine and overlap, in this endless cosmic light, just like... me, love, and you are merging into the star map."

"If it is up to me to talk about it, then let love and hate... meet in the universe."

The enormous blue-green wings, large enough to cover the entire Eurasian continent, eventually reassembled into the two DE armored suits behind Phoenix.

The revitalized phoenix sailed towards the edge of the solar system while Zhao Si was in a deep sleep.

"Well then, goodnight, young man☆~".

PS: It's not over yet, there's still a bit more to say about Honkai Impact, but I'll update tomorrow.

I'd also like to recommend this to a friend of mine; she's a veteran author on the Mijia platform, but this time she's writing a Monster Hunter + crossover anime story.

There are always creatures in the world that defy common sense. These monsters may be the center of the ecosystem or they may be destroyers of the ecosystem. But whenever this happens, a monster hunter appears.

The so-called hunters are strong and powerful, righteous and brave, and are guardians of the natural ecosystem... unless they encounter some special circumstances.

Hunters, unite in solidarity (justly gang up on each other)

Hunters, unyielding! (Infinite Cat Cart)

Hunters, protecting the environment (collecting addiction).

Join our Monster Hunter Gathering now! You could be the next monster hunter to protect nature!

Joseph Joestar: Katz! One arrow pierces the clouds, and a thousand armies rush to meet you! What's your next line?

Shield Hero: Heavy Crossbow is a turn-based game

Kazuma: As a katana user! Not carting is a victory!

A pile of meat paste that the Elu cats had just dug out of the monster's stomach was pulled back to the camp by the colorful cat car. In the camp, it quickly turned back into Nie Chiwu's appearance.

Nie Chiwu: Endless Palico carting is the true battle strategy! I'll go into that guy's mouth again and die, let the Palicoes beat him up again... That's the strongest Monster Hunter!

Chapter 45: Now, it's time for the card draw! (Free chapter, images to be added later)

[One, two, three; three, two, one; 1145141919810; Hello? Hello? Host, are you awake? Are you awake? Are you awake?]

"...I'm awake, but you've left me speechless."

[Oh, it's alright. We've got nothing to do here anyway, so I'll offer you a wake-up call. More words won't hurt, right?]

"Whatever, but this is a free chapter, so is there a summary of Season 1?"

[Yes, but before that, let's check out the gacha feature update.]

"The gacha system has been updated? I thought you were sticking with this Windows 98 system until the end. What, you've jumped to Windows 11 this time?"

[Hey everyone, where did this high-level version update come from? It's probably just some minor deletions and modifications, or changing some features... ahem, please watch the video below!]

The gacha system has been updated to version 2.0, with the following features:

① Delete the prizes you've already won:

First Slot Pool: Card Box Sword, Engine Memory, Fox God ID

Number Two: SHF Ultraman Blaze, Zoffy, Xerneas

Number 3: mg Phoenix NT

No. 4: MG Freedom Gundam

Number Six: rg Abian

Number 7: me Hao Kuai Mobile Phone

② Add an eighth prize pool, named:

Prize Pool No. 8 - Mixed Pool

③ Add a "Friendship Pool". This is a pool of donations from supporters, and only supports orders placed upon delivery.

[Wow, what kind of "friendship pool" is this? Is it trying to get us to illegally raise funds?]

"You're the one who created this pool!"

[Hey~]

[④ The prize pool for Super Team No. 7 has been modified based on the actual situation. Please review it.]

"It must be because I don't have that much in stock."

[Yeah yeah.]

Zhao Si browsed through the updated features and card pool content, and suddenly smiled with relief:

"Guess what I saw? A Jiwu Demon Spirit! But how did they manage to find this thing from my old failed doodles?!"

[Let's see... I'm awesome, ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )!]

"You're the one who forced yourself in here, so don't pretend to be innocent!"

Zhao Si felt like his old junk was being dug up and pointed at, then he was forced to put on a "trendy guy" hat and said things like "Wow, this color scheme is so trendy," "Wow, so many sprue marks, so trendy," "Wow, the paint job looks so cool, so trendy."

I'm so tired. I hope this thing never gets pulled out again. Amen.

And, well, this friendship pool that was added...

"Your intentions are good, when will my DGP be activated?"

[According to the supporter, the intention was to pollute the card pool.]

"It's a good thing you created my new card pool. I should praise you, right?"

[Oh dear, they all meant well. Otherwise, if you put them inside Masked Superman, wouldn't there be even more fashionable little trash?]

"That's true, thank you so much."

Zhao Si shook his head. He had already prepared for the worst. He had managed to draw the Fox God ID twice, but could only redeem one. He didn't even dare to imagine how low the odds were.

Of course, now the system is very human-like, removing all the toys you've drawn, so you don't have to worry about drawing the Fox God ID for the third time.

Zhao Si would rather have the real fox god manifest, even just to fix the floor or something, it would be useful.

[One more thing, this is a mascot gifted by supporter 'Corporal Pea'.]

"Oh? There really is a supporter."

Zhao Si glanced at the classic green image, which also included some background information:

The mascot Peashooter given as a gift can be urgently evolved into Pea Girl if necessary.

The Peashooter possesses a certain level of intelligence and can learn skills autonomously. Wearing it can slightly increase luck, but it has no effect on the lottery function of this system. It works in the real world, and the bullets it fires can display the health points of the unit after hitting it.

You can plant a Peashooter in the same spot; the resulting offspring will have the same stats as the original, but will not inherit its traits and will have a very short lifespan.

After watching it, it really is just a pure mascot.

"I said it, but it seems like I didn't say it. Oh no, what's this 'evolving into a pea nymph when necessary' thing? I'm not interested in women... I get it, it's maintenance crew consumables, a maintenance crew without repair equipment—so it's still useless! Well, it is indeed a mascot."

[Yes, yes, anyway, you're the one attracting women, so you've reaped all the benefits.]

"Pah! You system, don't you dare slander people out of thin air."

Zhao Si wasn't interested in relationships between men and women. He had become a corporate slave after graduation. Before graduation, as a male college student, he had had two relationships, but now he had no interest in them and was fully focused on making glue.

As for those who relentlessly pester him, Zhao Si is helpless. He's already fought them, kissed them, and even killed them; their souls are practically glued to him.

Heavy, too heavy.

"By the way, can I put this Peashooter in my backpack?"

[This would be a nice gift for a supporter!]

"That bit of luck..."

[You can only enjoy it by taking it out.]

"OK, I understand."

Looking at the half-person-tall Peashooter, Zhao Si first put it in his backpack. His physical body was still floating in space with Phoenix, and there was nowhere to put it.

Moreover, it seems like we don't know what they'd be able to do if they were released.

"Well, now that the prize pool update is over, it's time for the season summary, right?"

[It's the end-of-season review, so I'll have to ask about your performance again.]

"Alright, alright, so it's the part about listening to sharp sounds, right?"

Zhao Si glanced at the Light Savage in the backpack, feeling confident.

[Q: You have savages but don't use them, just fiddling with your Gundam. You get attacked but still won't use Blaze. Even when you're out of ammo, supplies, and your equipment is completely destroyed and scratched, you still can't get a chance to fight. Is this suppressing your combat power? Is this suppressing your combat power?]

"Oh my god, I knew this thing existed. Look at Phoenix, it's still floating in space right now."
