Chapter 155: Huohuo's childhood is exposed! I am actually a noble 5-star character!?
Drinking Immortal's Delight.
Houhou was not afraid at all now.
The livestream was reflected in her large eyes.
At this moment.
In the plot.
Even though she was temporarily sealed, Hanya's mouth couldn't stay idle.
She took the initiative to chat with Houhou.
"Little sister, Heliobi are supposed to seek out places where humans gather to take root. Yet now, they are congregating here in this deserted Fyxestroll Garden. Do you know why?"
"…Team building?"
Hanya froze.
She seemed to be choked up by Houhou's words.
After a brief pause, she said: "Because over a thousand years ago, this Fyxestroll Garden was the battlefield where the great Heliobus, Cirrus, fought a fierce battle against a certain General of the Luofu!"
As she spoke.
The corresponding images appeared on the screen.
A beast-shaped Heliobus was fighting against the Lightning-Wielding Thunder-Clapping Spirit-Squashing Lord.
The Spirit-Lord's weapon had already pierced the belly of the beast-shaped Heliobus; it looked like an overwhelming victory had already been achieved.
Houhou knew this piece of history.
Back then, because of the incident with Tail, she had done quite a bit of homework on the subject.
Hanya continued: "The Creation Furnace shattered, and the Heliobi escaped. The Heliobi fragments that once constituted Cirrus have all returned for the long-cherished wish of facing that General once again."
"Speaking of that great war back then, it was truly earth-shattering and soul-stirring! Cirrus transformed infinitely—floods, scorching fires, collapsing mountains, and splitting thunder—fighting that General to a standstill, a perfect fifty-fifty split!"
"Really?" the in-game version of herself asked.
The bullet chats in the livestream also voiced the same doubts.
…
"Was it really an even match?"
"From what I see on the screen, wasn't it a one-shot kill by a ten-stack Spirit-Lord?"
"Final score: General wins completely, Cirrus split into N pieces."
"Hanya is so good at talking, maybe she should consider becoming a storyteller?"
…
Houhou then spoke about her experience when she first encountered Tail.
"When I was still young, I saw a dying ball of fire in a corner of the Luofu…"
"In a moment of soft-heartedness, I put it on my tail… the result… I didn't expect Mr. Tail to actually want to eat me! Fortunately, the Judges appeared in time, and I escaped by the skin of my teeth."
Along with Houhou's voice.
The scene appeared!
The frail little girl on the screen was exactly Houhou when she was a child.
While staring pitifully at the fire about to go out in front of her.
She was cautiously reaching out her hand.
Houhou immediately covered her mouth in shock!
She hadn't expected!
That she would actually see scenes of her childhood in this plot!
Tail immediately burst out laughing.
"Look at you!"
"Hahaha, back then you really were just that tiny, just like a little matcha cake."
"Now in the blink of an eye… you're, uh… still like a matcha cake."
Houhou glanced at the bullet chat.
She suddenly felt like turning the bullet chat off!
What Tail said about "little matcha cake" was also learned from the bullet chat!
…
"Such a soft and squishy face!"
"AAAAAAH SO CUTE!!!"
"WUUUUU SO CUTE!!! I want to pinch her cheeks!"
"A delicious child."
"It's making me hungry."
"How could she put her tail forward first?"
"She's a Foxian, after all. When they encounter something they like, they want to wrap their tails around it. Plus, she was just a kid; it's normal to like playing with fire."
…
As Houhou spoke of the events of back then.
Her grievances suddenly welled up: "I… the tears I've wiped away in regret over the years must be the water that leaked into my brain when I made that decision back then…"
This sentence.
Was immediately listed as one of the classic quotes by many netizens.
In the livestream, Guinaifen also slammed the table and laughed uncharitably for half a minute.
The next task was to successfully find a way out of this environment.
After some trouble.
With the help of Judge Xueyi.
They escaped the illusion through the bronze mirror maze.
But the situation was now becoming increasingly severe!
Xueyi said with a grave expression: "Fyxestroll Garden has been dragged into an illusion by an even more powerful Heliobus. The netherworld messengers sent to suppress it have all lost contact."
"Houhou, if Hanya and I still cannot restrain that monster when we take the field, the heavy burden of dealing with it will fall upon you."
Hearing this, Houhou immediately panicked: "Eh? I… I can't do it. I'm not as capable as you two… I'll only hide to one side and shiver during battle."
"Do not belittle yourself. A Heliobus cannot seize a physical body already possessed by another Heliobus—this is your absolute advantage as a Judge."
"Although Heliobi are fierce, they can never escape their desire for a mortal body of flesh and blood. Yet you have been able to subdue the monster at all times and maintain your sanity, serving the Ten-Lords Commission for thirty-eight years. You are already a qualified Judge; you should have more confidence."
"None of us Judges can surpass you in this regard."
Seeing what Xueyi said to her in the plot.
Houhou opened her mouth wide in surprise.
"So…"
"So that's how Lady Xueyi sees me…"
"Maybe it really is just as Big Brother Lin Yu said, I have my own unique qualities too…"
Tail manifested a hand to rub his nose.
He said disdainfully: "I've said similar things before and you didn't believe a word! Just because that Lin Yu said a couple of things, you're convinced?"
"This Immortal's Delight can't be some kind of bewitching potion, can it?"
"It's not!"
Houhou's little face immediately turned red, and she waved her hands repeatedly.
"I, I came to this conclusion by watching the game's plot."
"Besides Big Brother Lin Yu, the game developer… Feathered Spirit must also think I have great potential, right?"
"Yes, yes, potential… at most a four-star character."
Tail wore a look of scorn.
At this time.
Hanya claimed to know the nature of Ignis like the back of her hand, and she proposed a way to break the deadlock.
In the dialogue, the option [ Listen to Hanya's plan ] was selected.
The dungeon interface appeared.
[ Challenge conditions: Team must include Houhou, at least four members on the field ]
[ Recommended team level 80 ]
After Guinaifen clicked the [ Challenge ] option, she began to form the team.
In the character list on the left, the first one was the trial Houhou.
Guinaifen froze.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
"Houhou's character background… is golden!"
"I, am I seeing this right!?"
"This means our Houhou… is a five-STAR CHARACTER!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Both Houhou and Tail in front of the screen were stunned!
"I'm… a five-star character…?" Houhou muttered to herself in disbelief.
When she was talking to Lin Yu before.
She felt that with her abilities, she might not even be a good four-star character…
She even thought it would be better if Feathered Spirit designed her as a three-star character.
But now!
Feathered Spirit had actually positioned her as a five-star character!
This was no longer just about having potential.
This was a kind of favoritism from the developer!
"Can I… can I really serve well as a five-star character…"
Although she had regained a bit of confidence.
It wasn't much.
At this moment, she was a bit overwhelmed by the unexpected favor!
She didn't even dare to imagine what her skills in the game were!
Tail was also completely dumbfounded.
How could Feathered Spirit give this little brat Houhou such good treatment!?
Suddenly.
Tail's eyes lit up.
He seemed to have thought of something.
He immediately let out a hearty laugh!
"Hahahaha…"
"I get it, you little coward, you should be laughing in secret!"
"It must be because I replaced your original tail! With my empowerment, you were upgraded from a four-star character to a noble five-star character!"
"As expected of Feathered Spirit."
"The details, the details are just too perfect!"
