Chapter 374 Extra: Welcoming the New Year in 2025
What should we do today? I haven't decided yet. Hey, Xue'er, how about this? Let's wish them well again.
"That's not good. That's too low-level," Xue'er said. I was sent back to the System Bureau, so I was rather bored. So I came up with a few big ideas there.
I've already contacted you in the future. Okay, I have a question, what about Xue Guangxia? He stammered. She must be doing something, right? Yes, that's it.
I was transported to a huge stage. There was a person skating on the stage. I couldn't see him very clearly. He finished skating.
I recognized him! It's Qingmeng! How could it be you? Don't be so confused. Today, I'm playing the role of the Ice Warrior. So, you were paddling and then you fell down—is that what the Ice Warrior is all about?
"Don't say anything," he hurriedly covered my mouth. He looked around, glancing at me a few times, then breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness no one else heard. He'd saved me some face.
So what are we doing here? This is your Hero's Time. With it, you can become a hero. So do you know the plot? No, what did you say? Ugh, I really don't know.
You really like crying so much. Don't cry, don't cry. Let's see what kind of hero I'll become! Please make me a hero, stone. Hmm, why isn't it reacting? I tapped the stone.
Stop messing around. This hero needs to chant a spell. Chant it with me: "Dear Mother of Life, grant me your inheritance. Let me gain the power to defeat the Demon King."
How embarrassing! I don't want to act. No, you have to practice. They said I'd revive my sister once I recovered. Please, so this is what happened when I was exploring the Honkai world—they kicked me here. I don't even know anything about it, and they're making me do these things.
I gave a thumbs up. Just to cheer you guys up. Cheers, brothers. I started chanting. Qingmeng wiped his forehead. This way I can resurrect my sister.
I finished reciting a very awkward incantation. A sword appeared in my hand. Let me explain. This sword's power is derived from both positive and negative energy.
I don't know anything else. I pointed my sword ahead. Shall we go? Are we going to fight the Demon King? No, no, no!
The future you said fighting the Demon King was too lame. So he gave you a challenge. I honestly don't know what kind of fight it is.
After saying that, we were teleported to a small wooden hut. We looked through the door. There was a little boy outside. "Hero, are you going out to fight the Demon King?"
"Can I play with you guys? I'm really good." "Honey, where do you live? We'll take you home." "No need. This is my child." She grabbed the bag in a flash. A man followed behind. She bowed. "Sorry, sorry." Then she ran off.
They have limited time, so some things aren't very important. Those who know, know. It means they're not important.
Alright, we're going to go fight the Demon King. There isn't a Demon King. And we still need to wait for another hero. I shrugged. Where are we going to find another hero?
Of course, it was a lottery. There were very few people here, but he had invited many. So, since he wasn't chosen, he naturally went downstairs to watch the show.
We were instantly teleported to the place where heroes were being recruited. The first person to touch Su Wan was the one who didn't react. The second person to touch Jiang He was also the one who didn't react.
Ka, Jiang He, your reaction was terrible. You even used angry emojis. Quite indignant ones. That's how you make yourself look like the bad guy.
Stop. Do I look like a bad guy? Well, that's exactly who you are. What's wrong with hitting me one more time? Okay, okay.
Then he angrily said, "Why can't I be the hero?" and stormed off. That's more like it. Your show is terrible. And, well, I didn't say he understood what I meant after that.
"Oh, you don't know this, do you? This is called a free play. It means the script is only given vaguely. The main character doesn't even know the script. This is a free play." He then left.
The last to awaken was Ye Yuwang, who finally became a hero. Xiao Kekui and the Dream God sighed in admiration.
Then tell me quickly, what kind of hero are you? I'm a magician. 6. Stop looking at him, in the next round we're going to fight one of the Demon King's four henchmen.
This track king, Jianghe, stop, who are you talking about? Okay, you don't need to answer, we can start fighting now.
We were transported to a dark, ancient castle. A man sat on a throne, and suddenly a flash of light appeared outside the mirror.
The light shone on the man's face. I pointed at him, "Jiang He, didn't you fail to become the hero? How come you're still here?" "Yeah, I was drawn to be the Demon King's subordinate again."
"Um, I have a question. Did you step in dog poop this morning?" He coughed. "Damn hero! What are you doing in my palace?"
"Yes, why are we going up there? But we have to defeat him." Qingmeng pointed at him. "He's the Demon King's subordinate; we can only succeed by defeating him."
That way, they won't refuse to help us when we fight that entity. So why don't they gather together?
Uh, well... I don't know. Isn't this part of the plot? That's how it's written. Heh, go to hell! He froze me instantly. We turned into points.
We're back to square one. This is what you meant by us being able to fight monsters. This was also expected in the plot.
Let's start grinding! After our troops' monster-slaying, Little River, we're back to fight you again. Let me see what you're made of.
He snapped his fingers again. "Hey, how many levels have you guys leveled up? We've been killing people there for over ten years, it's just that their time flows differently."
I said one-click chop. Jiang He is dead. Cough, cough! This is Guo Xinnian, oh well, this is only the first program.
The next program is a skit or something, I forgot. Hey, hey, can we speedrun now? Hey, you over there. Qingmeng, I know the whole plot, so we're going to get a beating if we practice too hard. What?
So all those years of grinding levels were for nothing? They say you get a different amount of energy for each level. The higher the level, the more energy you get.
You just got your share given to a little ball of light. And it can even talk! I don't know how you know everything? Actually, this brother who never says a word also knows everything.
My role is that of someone who gains status later on. So, we're on the seventh day of the lunar month now, and we still have to defeat three more demon kings before we can fight the final demon king.
So aren't you bored? Bored? Then you want to speedrun, right? That's not impossible. We'll each take on three demon kings with our swords. Boom!
Haha, we finally defeated the Demon King! The future is completely over. We made a big splash. Then we had to revive them. We quickly defeated them again.
Fine, if you don't like it. Let's just fight the Demon King then. We were teleported to a huge prototype stage.
At the very end of the line sits a ball of light. Who are you? I am the Demon King. Alright, I can tell from your voice that it's Xue Guangxia. I'll strike you down with one click.
He was split in two. Then he reassembled into one body. "Hahaha, I'm unkillable. You can stab yourself in the back," Qingmeng said from the side.
I slashed his arm, why didn't I just stab him in the body? Am I stupid? What if he turns against me later?
My blood flowed onto the stage. Haha, he laughed. Actually, I am the Demon King. He is just my puppet.
Xue Guangxia has left the stage. Now it's two heroes fighting one demon king. Who told you to speedrun? So it's just the two of us against him.
I displayed countless swords. Looking at his body... Huh, what's that? Not a single scratch? Your swordsmanship has a belief that the stronger the belief, the greater the damage.
So that's what happened. I've retrieved all the memories of things I wanted to do before. Well, they're a bit scattered, but my conviction is definitely strong.
I clicked "download." The Demon King split in two. Huh? My future self clapped. The first segment is over. So hastily done.
Don't worry about the details, just have fun. Okay, now let's start distributing the rewards. Let me read out the list of participants. It was a bit fast, but a few people still managed to get on board.
Qingmeng's reward was resurrecting his sister. Yeyuwang's reward was the ability to convert vampires into humans, and Jianghe's reward was enhancing his sister's talents. Xueguangxia's reward was energy, and I...I...I also acted in it. Aren't you me? I wished I had no wishes. I opened my mouth wide. It's...okay...like this.
Divider line ~~ ...
Alright, next up is a skit: "Brothers, brothers!"
We were teleported to a large stage. What are you all standing there for? There were six people talking around a round table.
"It's tough these days. Do we have any good job recommendations?" a calm guy said. "We could go into the drug trade." "Okay, Xiong Er, we won't take your suggestion. Okay, sit down."
To be frank, it's all pointless. If you really want a job that pays well, why don't you just go and take over a money-printing factory?
Patrick, shut up! Huh? This is actually a great idea. What the heck? Let's rob a bank.
That won't do either, it's illegal. Beta, why do you refute everything that's good? That's what SpongeBob said.
That's strange. What does this have to do with brothers? And weren't their souls scattered? Why is it still like this? Oh well, never mind.
What do you think? Big Bear, Big Bear, why aren't you talking to me? Do you have some good job offer? Are you calling me? Let's go rob some!
Six weapons fell from the sky. We'll start gathering at a certain tavern tomorrow, using the given code.
The next day. Push open the door! Case number closed. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—you're fired. You really aren't Xiong Da. Where did you put Xiong Da?
He pointed a gun at me. I know I just forgot this number; you can get a new one. How much money do you owe me? Xiong Er, aren't you the one who's always owed me money? When are you going to pay me back?
He coughed, his eyes filled with embarrassment. It really was true. Then I definitely can't let you leave. I won't give you your money back. It's just ten or so yuan, is it really that big of a deal?
He nodded seriously. "Xiong Er, are you reporting from here?" I yelled at him. He nodded seriously, "Of course." "Never mind, let me in."
Then two more sounds came from outside the door. We opened the door. Even Heaven has feelings, and Heaven grows old. The Great Way is heartless, and one flies in vain.
I'm Big Bear, what are you? I'm Patrick Star. What is art? Art is Patrick Star. 6. I feel you're unreliable. You're not afraid he'll succeed, you can get out.
He held the door shut with his hand, bro. Okay, come in. He blew on his hand, and it hurt so much!
So where's SpongeBob? He'll have to wait a bit. He pulled me away. Bro, come on, let's do something sneaky today. Let's have our own private group chat.
This group is called "SpongeBob SquarePants Sand Group"? It's good that you two aren't playing. It's one less person, one less share. If I could take on five people at once, I wouldn't have started this.
There were two more knocks on the door. "Oh dear, you guys are really...you know, I'm quite jealous." "Come in, wait, have you forgotten something?"
Yes, the code, right? Listen up, Shuke. We should smash the cup when we rob the bank later. Got it, got it, got it. Go in.
Beta, I know you're scared. But have you forgotten how Xiong Er scolded you every day last time? I remember, so I created another group chat today, the "Kill Xiong Er" group.
This is another group chat, wow. Everyone get in, everyone get in, then we'll go in and start discussing. We'll rob a bank later and then reveal the last digit of the phone number.
We were driving a small car with six people in it. Wasn't that a bit small? Then we went back and got a minivan. Then we drove the minivan into the bank.
"Hands up! We're robbing a bank! Hand over the money!" The men raised their hands. "This computer is valuable." They put it in the car.
Our boss stopped this before; we have principles about not trafficking people, and he was too lenient. Don't throw them in!
I kicked the boss off the road. Then they put all the money into our van.
SpongeBob and Patrick collect their phones. They input a beta number to see what important items are still in their data. And so on.
Me, Xiong Da, and Xiong Er watched them. At first, we diligently carried out all the tasks. Then someone approached me. "Bro, just put our boss in there."
Why? So we can get a better boss. You think I'm a dumping ground? I've kicked him out.
After we finished, we drove off in our minivan. Robbing a bank? That was exciting! But what's the use of excitement? You still need the money!
Patrick kissed the bills. But don't get too excited, there seem to be police behind them. What to do? Come up with a good plan.
So, I've been thinking about something else. We seem to have forgotten about a prisoner, and it seems we really have. Several just fell out of my car. Okay, we have one now.
Police behind you. Thief in front, stop! Put down your gun immediately. Let us arrest you obediently. What should we do? No problem, SpongeBob will go.
SpongeBob, through a megaphone he'd somehow acquired, said, "You think we'll stop just because you tell us to? Let me tell you, we have prisoners of war on our vehicle..."
The police behind us said that prisoners of war with eggs taste pretty good. If we had that stuff, would we not have arrested you and brought you back to justice?
I was talking about prisoners. Yes, they're delicious. I was talking about the talismanic immortal. Oh, don't get excited. We'll listen to whatever you say.
Get away from us right now. Or should we start now? Kill the hostages, please don't move. Are you moved?
We dare not move. Please don't get agitated. Quick, brothers, give me some bills, I want to tear up the ticket. Several more appeared above his head.
When someone kills a hostage, it's murder. You're really killing the hostage; you better be rational. Okay. After our argument,
We finally managed to get our hands on a plane. Let's get down to business. I'll give it to my future self. I coughed a few times. Brothers, take my advice.
"Put down the butcher's knife, and you'll be a corpse on the spot! What does that mean? We're the butchers! We'll just take these people away and throw them into international waters, then we can roam free. Xiong Da, we have principles."
That's impossible. Okay, we'll have a better life from now on. Brothers for life. Our school also threw all the prisoners into the sea.
Then a shell wiped us all out? With my last breath, I said, "Brother, brother, I knew I shouldn't have robbed them."
Okay, thank you to our performers. Xiong Dayu, Xiong Er (Li Mingyu), SpongeBob SquarePants (Xin Jiabao), Patrick Star (Zhang Qiang), Shuke (Wang Xian), and Beta Girl (Lu Feng). Thank you for their first performance. Applause, no prizes.
It wasn't you, was it? Never mind, I can't get it anyway. And then we stood on the stage. Okay, this is the last performance.
Come on, let me say something today. Hey, everyone sitting here has something to do with me. Either they're connected to my past self, or they're connected to my present self.
But I want to say, Happy New Year! I gave everyone a small gift. Don't be shy, it wasn't expensive at all, and everyone also received a red envelope.
Uh, each red envelope has a different value. Maybe it's energy, maybe it's a weapon, maybe it's some kind of unconventional skill or something. Anyway, don't worry, even the cheapest ones are pretty useful.
That's all I wanted to say. I need to think about lunchtime. Oh dear, I have to eat quickly. Otherwise, when I get back to that broken planet, the road will be cracked again, and it won't be enough to feed me for several days.
The banquet is over. I have a few questions for you. Did you create that dragon? No, I really didn't create that dragon.
Maybe so. He went through something, so he wanted to break your umbrella too. So are they alright? Yes, they're fine, very fine.
Are you really not going to take a look at Watt's case? Wait a little longer, just a little longer. This matter needs to be finished somehow.
You said it yourself. So you know what I mean, right? I didn't force you, so don't talk like that. Really? You really didn't force me?
Maybe. But I really want to see what Honkai Impact 3rd looks like. I also want to see the main character, Qiyana.
He coughed a few times. What's stuck in your throat? What are you coughing about? I'm pretty sure it's nothing, you can go back now.
Oh, wait a minute. One last thing, Happy New Year! Okay, that concludes this chapter.
