She wandered back and forth in the forest, curiously exploring, her heterochromatic eyes searching with anticipation.

She found it without much effort.

Beneath the tallest tree in this forest, the vengeful spirits of the three flowers circled the tree, cursing and shouting.

This scene surprised her.

The person in the tree neither ran away nor hid; sitting among the branches, he greeted her calmly when he saw her.

"Hello, beautiful queen."

"I am a traveler passing through this forest."

"I wanted to express my gratitude for letting me through this forest. I wanted to present flowers to the beautiful lady and make a bouquet for you—but I didn't expect that there were only three flowers in the whole forest."

He looked completely innocent, pointing to the three wronged souls on the ground—white, red, and blue.

"I picked them, but they chased after me and yelled at me. Your Majesty, I'm so sorry—"

The gift I wanted to give you didn't work out.

The blonde forest queen was momentarily stunned.

Bai Shimo, who was watching all of this on her phone, raised her eyebrows.

"How could a bouquet of flowers have lured someone away? Wow! And Xiaomingguang even ruined the flowers himself—"

She frowned and saw Bai Weiran on the screen climb down from the tree and gently place her hands on the shoulders of Mingguang, who was playing the role of the forest queen.

The vengeful spirits of the three flowers have been completely wiped out, and there are no more shouts and curses.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I'm out of flowers and I don't have anything else on me. Would you mind if I kissed your forehead as a token of my gratitude?"

"I need a little time to prepare. You can start counting to one hundred now—by the time you've counted to one hundred, I'll be ready too."

The Forest Queen blushed with anticipation, closed her eyes, and began to count with a devout expression.

He took a step back, and then another.

When the Forest Queen opened her eyes again, the person had vanished without a trace.

Without the most important guiding flower in this level, it becomes difficult to find his whereabouts.

He escaped the forest.

Bai Shimo, watching from outside the screen, sighed.

"Xiao Mingguang is still too useless."

"Once you lose your external brain, you can't think anymore—"

Bai Shimo muttered a complaint for a while, then frowned.

"Xiao Ming is useless; he's too easy to manipulate."

"But it doesn't matter, Xiaomingguang is just the first one."

Chapter Three: Let's fight with Gundams!

Getting out of the forest is only the first hurdle.

But knowing that Mingguang was the main designer of this level, Bai Weiran was no longer afraid.

If Mingguang were to actually chase someone, he would be thoroughly beaten to a pulp.

If Mingguang were to impose any level rules or restrictions, he would only entangle himself in his own mess.

While playing video games at home, Mengmeng openly refused to play with Mingguang.

"Mengmeng can beat Mingguang even with her feet, Mingguang is so short!"

Mingguang, feeling humiliated, stood by with a pout, at a loss for what to do. Xia Yanle then slammed her book on the table and stepped in to settle the score.

Who are you insulting?!

Then they were both pinned to the ground and rubbed by Mengmeng.

Are you kidding me? Competing with a gaming prodigy?

As it turns out, Mingguang's line of thinking has always been straightforward.

Although there are other challenges beyond the forest, such as the lake spirit emerging from the lake.

Hello, traveler!

"To move forward, you need a map of this forest as a guide—did you drop this gold map or this silver map?"

Bai Weiran held the pebble.

(You tell the lake spirit that what you dropped was a golden map.)

(The lake spirit was furious that you lied to him, so he threw away the map, and the water on the lake suddenly surged up, forming a water column that trapped you inside.)

(The lake spirit angrily said: Lying traveler, await the judgment of the Forest Queen!)

(You're trapped until nightfall, then the Forest Queen arrives)

(She walked into the water dungeon as if no one else was there.)

(You were tortured to death in jail)

(Deduction ends)

Bai Weiran: …………

He picked up the pebble and tried again.

(You answered the lake spirit honestly, saying that what you dropped was just a regular map.)

(The lake spirit was very angry and scolded you for lying. You didn't lose the map at all, but you claimed to have lost it. Suddenly, the water on the lake turned into ropes and tied you to a tree.)

(The lake spirit angrily said: Lying traveler, await the judgment of the Forest Queen!)

(You're trapped until nightfall, then the Forest Queen arrives)

(She unties your ropes and pushes you down onto the grass.)

(You were slammed to your death by the lake)

(Deduction ends)

You cannot answer that you dropped a gold or silver map, nor can you answer that you dropped a regular map. If you answer that you don't have a map, the lake spirit will insist that you dropped one and will not let you pass.

Bai Weiran thought for a moment, then asked in a very gentle and calm manner.

"I don't remember which map I dropped, could I borrow it to take a look?"

He borrowed the map.

He then threw both the gold and silver maps into the lake.

Lake Spirit: "…………?"

"Now both pictures are from my account, right?"

The lake spirit was dumbfounded and couldn't answer, so he could only let him pass.

After passing the great lake, through the valley, and past the ruins hidden in the forest, we successfully passed the checkpoint.

The Forest Queen didn't even get another chance to appear.

The scene changed abruptly as he crossed the finish line gate adorned with gold and green.

The circular arena, built of pale yellow boulders, was filled with spectators cheering loudly for him.

A pink-haired loli wearing headphones and dressed in a judge's suit suddenly appeared beside me.

"Oh, great challenger, let us welcome you—"

"You are today's fighter, today you will fight for the sacrifice of your comrades, risking your life—"

"You defeated countless challengers, all for the sake of a one-on-one duel with our boss—"

Nana clutched her chest; she was a talented singer and songwriter.

"My partner?" Bai Weiran asked in confusion.

"Oh, your former companion who possessed fire abilities was killed by the enemy's schemes. You rushed to save him, but you were too weak and powerless to fight them all alone. You were surrounded by enemies, and a white-bearded elder sacrificed himself to save your life—"

Bai Weiran raised an eyebrow.

Wait a minute, why does this plot sound so familiar?

What were the game designers thinking when they designed this level?

"You came to this Sky Arena in order to obtain the power to avenge your companions. This Sky Arena contains everything that everyone in the world wants. Each floor's master has different abilities. If you win, you can replace the master, or you can make a request to the master to use her abilities to help you."

"Today, you're going to challenge the master of the 250th floor!!"

Nana stretched out her arms, very happy.

Bai Weiran: …………?

It's a direct crossover, right? The stories told in the two parts aren't even the same.

"What abilities do the other floor owners have? Can I find out?" he asked with a smile, a hint of mischief in his voice.

Nana tiptoed closer to him, her eyes sparkling.

"Oh, Nana doesn't know either, it wasn't written on the cheat sheet."

"You work so hard, playing so many roles, aren't you tired?"

Nana giggled, looking innocent and adorable.

"I'm not tired at all, Nana thinks it's so much fun."

"I wish we could keep playing forever, Mr. William."

"...Is it possible for the game to never end?"

Bai Weiran reached out and patted the pink-haired loli's head.
