Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

Seeing Gongshu unload the psychological burden that had weighed on him for decades, or even centuries, in one go, March 7th couldn't help but sigh, "...It really wasn't easy for you, sir."

Gongshu said, "Miss March 7th, don't you want to become an adult?"

"I... I just can't imagine what I'll be like when I grow up." March 7th scratched his head: "Star, what about you?"

Hoshi: "I really don't want to be an adult..."

[Star: It's a pity, I was already the savior long ago. Time waits for no one...]

[March 7th: You're being silly again. Besides, these two adults aren't even talking about the same thing, are they? Shut up, you're practically about to open your mouth. Shut up, shut up!]

[Yao Guang: That's a classic question. Children always want to be adults who have someone listen to them, while adults always yearn to be children with empty shoulders, carrying no burdens.]

[Black Tower: Ms. Black Tower never has to worry about this kind of problem.]

[Little Black Tower: Lady Black Tower is unparalleled! Lady Black Tower is forever young!]

Several people were stumped by the question, but Gongshu seemed to have an epiphany, speaking with the tone of someone who had been through it all: "I am several hundred years old, but the moment I finished it, I felt like I was just an older child. There seems to be no real dividing line between adults and children."

March 7th said, seemingly understanding but not quite, "...I think I can understand."

[Walter: Of course, that kind of dividing line never existed!]

Silver Wolf said regretfully, "It seems that the body of that golden gatekeeper did indeed contain the mechanical soul of a mechanical bird, but unfortunately it has flown away now."

On March 7th, upon first seeing Silver Wolf, he surprisingly joined in the melancholy, exclaiming with surprise, "I never knew Silver Wolf was a poet!"

Silver Wolf glanced at her with downcast eyes: "Want me to put it simply? I mean, my rare ethereal spirit is gone."

March 7th waved his hand in the direction of the mechanical bird: "At least you can copy [Ah-Shu]'s ethereal spirit as a souvenir."

Silver Wolf said with slight disappointment, "Well, at least it's a guaranteed reward."

She casually copied the [Ash] ethereal spirit and was surprised to find that it possessed both mechanical and alien characteristics.

He was overjoyed, shouting as if he had gotten nine gold items in a single ten-shot attack.

"Oh my god! A rare dual attribute, it worked?! What's that old saying from the Immortal Ship world again—'The mountains and rivers seem to block the way, but a rare attribute can't be hidden forever.'"

Even March 7th couldn't hold back any longer: "What kind of fairy boat proverb is that? It's obviously something you made up."

[Danheng: It's like finding a new village after passing through a dark willow grove.]

[March 7th: See? I told you so! A new lease on life has come; rare attributes can't be hidden.]

[Star: Genius!]

Danheng: ...

It doesn't even rhyme anymore.

……

Everyone was overjoyed; Gongshu rediscovered his childlike wonder, and Silver Wolf obtained the rare Ether Spirit.

But March 7th couldn't be too happy: "Sigh, Master Gongshu has completed [Axiu], and you've found the rare ethereal spirit, but I haven't found the answer yet..."

Silver Wolf was in a great mood and readily took on the task of handling these trivial matters: "Still thinking about the sword fight? Don't worry, I am your answer. Come to me, and I will help you solve the problem."

After all, without her spirit possession on March 7th, her goal would have been blocked at the Bureau of Works. Returning the favor, she felt obligated to do so.

March 7th seized a glimmer of hope: "It's a deal then, you have to help me!"

Silver Wolf was brimming with confidence: "Don't worry, I've got your back."

the next day.

In the small garden where they practiced swordsmanship, March 7th said with a worried expression, "I'm about to face Scott, I'm so nervous."

Silver Wolf didn't care at all: "What's there to be nervous about? Dealing with a few small fry from a few companies is a piece of cake."

March 7th looked troubled: "But when it comes to the competition, Scott will definitely use their company's mechs. Those things can't possibly be taken down with just two swords!"

Xingdao said, "Yanqing and Yunli are definitely capable."

March 7th pouted and said, "My masters can definitely do it! But compared to them, isn't it too much of a challenge for little March who's always bullied by everyone?"

[Star: Everyone bullies you? Who? You? Is the bullying culture in our galaxy that prevalent?]

[Yun Li: It's just a trivial skill. You'll need three months to learn from me. One slap from Lao Tie and I can turn Lone Wolf into a pancake.]

[Yanqing: Miss March, there's no need to underestimate yourself. You've already proven that you can defeat Scott with your own strength.]

[Silver Wolf: Besides, I'll be your support this game, so you can rest assured.]

"Why be so fixated on physical destruction?" Silver Wolf asked. "For a hacker, the ideal battle is to break down the opponent from within."

"Come, give me your sword."

A series of clanging and sizzling sounds rang out, and not long after, Silver Wolf returned the sword, which looked exactly the same as before, to March 7.

"Alright, you've been enhanced, go for it."

[Star: You've been buffed, give it to me!]

[March 7th: Don't say such unlucky things! And aren't you a hacker writer? Why are you making sounds like a blacksmith's shop?]

[Silver Wolf: Why worry about so many details? As long as we can beat Scott, that's all that matters.]

Xing glanced at the returned one-handed sword: "Doesn't the other sword need upgrading?"

Silver Wolf replied matter-of-factly, "Programming is all about less is more; doing too much can easily lead to mistakes."

March 7th was still unsure. Even if this sword was invincible, it hadn't even had time to be broken in. Could it be reliable?

"So... this way we can defeat Scott?"

"Hmph~" Silver Wolf chuckled slyly, "I really like a proverb from the Immortal Boat people: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and your opponent will be defeated.'"

Something about March 7th just doesn't sound right: "You made up the second half of that sentence yourself, didn't you...?"

"What do you know? This is called 'a dog's tail continuing'..." Silver Wolf blurted out, his words tumbling out in a frantic attempt to change the subject, "This is called 'carrying on the past and opening up the future'!"

She didn't want to waste any more words: "Alright, now's not the time to discuss the proverbs of the Immortal Boat. Go and show Scott what you're capable of."

Now that things have come to this, March 7th has no other choice but to believe her.

Jinren Lane Wharf.

Scott, who had been waiting impatiently, finally beamed with joy when he saw his target arrive. Speaking in a highly provocative accent, he said, "March 7th, you're late. I thought you were too scared to come, and I was worried about how to settle the score with you~"

[Hanabi: Oh? New lines? Looks like Scott has a tiny bit of a chance of breaking the cycle of reincarnation after all.]

Silver Wolf: I won't let that happen to me.

[Star: Hmm... it's the normal Scott. I'm a little unaccustomed to it at first glance.]
