Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 Hollow Rescue

Belle, who had just finished contacting the Children of Calydon, was about to drive to the Outer Ring when she noticed the world commission notification pop up in the chat group.

"Zero Zone · Belle: Can everyone please help save my brother?"

"Zero Zone · Wise: Everyone doesn't need to worry too much, we are temporarily safe. The car can still drive, not only do we have anti-erosion medicine that Billy prepared for the Children of Calydon, but also several Hollow data stakes."

"Zero Zone · Wise: As for the battle, Billy is still here, his combat power is also quite formidable, getting out is just a matter of time."

"Zero Zone · Belle: How can I not be nervous, brother! You're the only family I have left!"

Seeing the urgent situation, everyone actively signed up.

"Genshin Impact · Paimon: Jing Liu and I are signing up! With Jing Liu's help against those… uh, you call them Eidolon, right? And my 'Optimization Power' will definitely not let Wise get hurt."

Paimon was Jing Liu's divine mouth, so naturally, she wouldn't deny Paimon's suggestion.

"The Stellaron Hunters · March 7th: And me, we can go too, our combat power is very strong, escorting Wise out of the Hollow will definitely be no problem."

"Honkai: Star Rail: I want to go too, I want to go too!"

"Honkai: Stelle Rail · Dan Heng: I wonder if Zhongli also intends to participate in this rescue?"

"Genshin Impact · Zhongli: The opportunity is rare, but I still need to prepare for the removal of erosion, so I will leave this to everyone. Remember, ensuring young friend Wise's safety is paramount, do not be captivated by the sights of another world."

At this moment, a system announcement was posted in the group:

[World commission accepted! Participants: Genshin · Jing Liu, Genshin Impact · Paimon, Honkai: Stelle Rail · Dan Heng. Teleportation will begin in 10 seconds, destination: Zero Zone · Wise's Hollow location. Please prepare!]

Jing Liu and Paimon quickly got up from the Holy Fire Arena audience seats and found a quiet corner.

Fortunately, there was still some time before Kachina's match, otherwise, their absence would not only disappoint Kachina but also leave them deeply regretful.

On the other side, Dan Heng quickly said to March 7th and Honkai: Star Rail: "I'll go first this time. You two go explain the situation to the Train Conductor, Uncle Yang, and Teacher Himeko. Don't worry about me, I'll keep in touch in the group."

March 7th and Honkai: Star Rail were a bit regretful, but they still knew what was important and went their separate ways to find the Astral Express crew's elders.

As the countdown ended, the three were enveloped by a suddenly appearing blue cylinder, and in the next instant, they appeared next to Wise.

Wise was still observing Billy's battle; although he had no combat ability himself, he could at least help Billy observe blind spots in the battle and remind him in time.

The three people who suddenly appeared next to Wise startled him, and he thought they were some kind of Eidolon skilled in surprise attacks.

After seeing who they were, Wise breathed a sigh of relief and said in surprise, "You came so fast? I thought the teleportation would take some time."

He then added, "Everyone, go help Billy deal with the Eidolon, let's end the battle quickly so we can get out sooner, after all, you can't stay in a Hollow for long."

Everyone also knew that now was not the time for pleasantries, and Jing Liu and Dan Heng summoned their weapons and rushed into the battlefield.

At the same time, they shouted, "We are here to support Wise," to prevent Billy from accidentally injuring them.

Although they might not necessarily be injured, fewer troubles were definitely better.

On the other side, Paimon flew to Wise's side with concern: "Wise! How are you? Are you okay? Have you been eroded by the Aether?"

As she spoke, her small hand had already subconsciously summoned a silver wrench, looking ready to "optimize" at any moment.

Wise waved his hand: "Thank you, Paimon, but I'm fine for now, after all, I just entered the Hollow not long ago when you arrived."

Paimon: "In that case, I'll treat you after we get out of the Hollow. Oh, right, you should quickly let Belle know you're safe, she's really worried about you."

Wise smiled and agreed.

"Zero Zone · Wise: Belle, I'm fine, and I've already met up with everyone who came to support. Paimon is right next to me, holding her wrench, ready to give me an 'optimization' at any moment."

Wise, to ease Belle's tension, uncharacteristically made a joke.

Seeing Wise's reply in the group, Belle finally relaxed, but she didn't stop driving towards the Outer Ring, still wanting to see Wise with her own eyes to feel at ease.

On the other side, the battle ended quickly; it was just a dozen low-level Eidolon, which Billy alone could easily handle, it just took a bit more time.

Billy looked at Jing Liu and Dan Heng with confusion, as their outfits were very different from what Billy had seen.

At the same time, he secretly praised in his heart: 'As expected of the boss, his connections are so wide! Not long after falling into the Hollow, support arrived, and each one of them is extraordinarily skilled.'

After all, Jing Liu and Dan Heng dealt with those Eidolon with almost one-hit kills.

Wise and Paimon also stepped forward when they saw the battle end.

Wise spoke: "How is everyone, are you alright?"

Billy: "I'm fine, boss. Are these two the reinforcements you invited? They came so fast, and their combat power is also very strong."

"Oh, right, boss, how are you feeling, and this one next to you…"

"Could it be the latest model of flying humanoid Bombies?"

Wise waved his hand: "It's nothing, I can still hold up."

He then introduced the few people from the chat group: "This is Paimon, not a Bombies, and the two you were fighting are Jing Liu and Dan Heng."

When Paimon heard Billy call her a Bombies, her little face immediately puffed up in anger.

"What! Paimon is not some Bombies! Hmph! Paimon will give you an ugly nickname too! I'll call you… 'Dual-Gun Kid'!"

Seeing Paimon angry, Billy quickly apologized: "Sorry, sorry, Paimon! I was mistaken. When we get out, I'll give you a full set of Starry Knight merchandise as an apology, how about it?"

Seeing Billy apologize and offer gifts, Paimon felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I forgive you, I won't call you by that nickname." However, she didn't refuse the gift, after all, gifts from another world were very rare.

Seeing Billy and Paimon reconcile smoothly, Wise seized the opportunity to make the next plan.

"Next, we still need to place three data stakes to collect Hollow data and calculate the path, I'll have to trouble you all."

The result was obvious, everyone quickly completed the installation of the data stakes and data collection, encountering no obstacles along the way.

Even when they finally encountered a [Feral Madman] (that's what it's called in the game, although it's a bit…),

It was precisely suppressed by the Stone Stele summoned by Jing Liu, and then instantly disintegrated as Cloudbreaker, thrown by Dan Heng, pierced its core.

Billy was stunned throughout the entire process, and at the same time, he became even more amazed by the boss's powerful connections.

Just as everyone reached the Hollow exit and was about to leave,

Accompanied by the roar of an engine, Caesar and Wright, riding motorcycles, suddenly rushed into the Hollow.
