Qiong Hui smiled.
"If you give in, how about Mom dresses you in a cheongsam tonight?"
Xing's eyebrows twitched, but she maintained her motherly smile and spoke in an elegant yet nauseatingly sweet voice.
"Swimsuits, cat ears, maid outfits, nun outfits, bunny girl outfits are all fine~"
Qiong's expression was dazed for two seconds, as if she were being seduced by the enchanting sound, before she punched herself and shook her head.
"If you give up, Daddy will show you a great video tonight~ It was filmed by Toppa, how about it?"
Xing's elegant posture froze, her breathing became rapid, and then she punched herself in the chest.
Their gazes shifted from a moment of alluring confusion to a growing determination.
An eerie silence fell over the duel arena. March 7th's lips twitched wildly as he chose to turn off the screen.
I can't even look at this, it's outrageous.
These two guys have absolutely no morals!

Volume 1: Chapter 493 Buying Ham, the Magic of Friendship
[Welcome to tonight's Interstellar Peace Report, everyone. Here is tonight's important content.]
Female voice: "Recently, we received a report from the anonymous Masked Fool that the activation of the etheric field on the planet Yalilo was caused by the Pleasure God Aha."
Male voice: "A new trend in the cultural field! The Ultraman image, which originated from the giant of light, has recently set off a phenomenal craze across the entire galaxy. Interstellar Peace Company has reached a strategic cooperation with the Star Train Pioneers to jointly develop and operate the 'Ultraman Series' cosmic-level cultural IP."
Female voice: "Yaliluo-VI Economic Data Bulletin: Economic indicators this quarter showed explosive growth, with an increase of 11451400% compared to the same period last year. Analysts pointed out that the local market is recovering strongly and future growth expectations remain positive."
Male voice: It is known that multiple factions have received invitations from Pinocchio, the star of the event. It is reported that this is the first time that Pinocchio's "family" has publicly extended a formal invitation to various factions in the galaxy.
Female voice: Interstellar Peace Corporation is also among those invited. Diamond, the head of the strategic investment department, said that he will carefully assess the significance of the family's move and will respond positively and amicably.
Male voice: "The countdown to the opening of the Harmonious Music Ceremony officially begins today."
Female voice: "A genius shines in the galaxy. A genius has been born once again in the universe, and has been noticed by the wise and knowledgeable. The Interstellar Peace Company and the new intellectual envoy, Ms. Britta, have made friendly initial contact to lay the foundation for a friendly cooperative alliance in the future."
Boy: "..."
The broadcast continued, occasionally interspersed with a few advertisements.
In the villa's spacious living room, the ceiling is designed as a deep star map, with lights twinkling like real stars.
Through the windows, one can see the magnificent night view of Belleburg, a city ablaze with lights and bustling with activity, the entire city rejoicing in this interstellar event.
boom! boom! boom!
Several bottles of champagne were shaken open, and colorful ribbons and fireworks exploded instantly, scattering all over the room.
In the very center, a striking banner hangs high:
"Warmest congratulations to Star & Dome for winning the Interstellar Showdown Celebration Championship!"
Below the banner, a crowd was already immersed in the delicious food and joy.
The long table was laden with a sumptuous feast, and the air was filled with the mixed aromas of roasted meat, desserts, and alcohol.
Xing, completely disregarding her image, grabbed a huge, glistening chicken leg in one hand, while waving the other hand wildly in the air, as if she were still commanding her Ultraman Tiga:
"If the organizers hadn't chickened out and refused to continue the overtime, I would definitely be the champion!"
She took a big bite of the chicken leg and mumbled indistinctly:
"My Ultraman Tiga almost blew up Kyōzai's Rinnegan from the Six Paths Tree! It was just a hair's breadth away!"
"Ha, you're dreaming!"
Sitting opposite her, Qiong elegantly sipped her champagne and casually clinked glasses with Toppa next to her:
"It's definitely Master Ai, the owner of the Cosmic Meat Processing Plant, who will dissect the Desire Demon Beast first!"
"Okay, okay, I think tying for first place is fine too!"
Topa, holding a wine glass and a smile on his face, skillfully smoothed things over:
"This is unprecedented since the start of the Etherfront Tournament—two chief champions!"
She paused, then added, "Moreover, the 'championship battle' between the two contestants, 'Battle Through the Heavens' and 'Star·I Really Didn't Cheat·Core Essence,' has generated so much buzz that it's practically blown the galaxy apart!"
The championship battle between Doupoqiong and Xing·I Didn't Cheat·Hejing has become a sensation across the galaxy and has even gone beyond mainstream audiences, with the number of viewers watching the live stream reaching an unprecedented peak.
Interstellar Peace even had to activate backup servers to barely keep up with the traffic.
The final match broke the single-match duration record just set by Silver Wolf and Haha Rabbit.
There's nothing I can do; I just can't break through the moves taught by the same master!
The Dome has limited-edition chips, and so does the Star.
By sacrificing other Ultramen, Tiga was able to activate his Shining Form. He then used the Mother of Desire, Cocolia, and the Ultimate Dante Devimon to construct an Xyz Network and perform an Xyz Summon, fusing them together to create the terrifying Desire Devimon.
Originally, Qiong actually had a slight advantage in terms of the strength of the individual Ether Spirits, since Britta was one-third of him, giving him more room to maneuver.
However, Xing surprisingly activated a fourth-party aid, borrowing the Super Storm Messenger and Bird God from March 7th to combine with her Demon God Mech, thus bridging the gap in strength.
Thus, this ultimate battle of gods, which brought together giants of light, demonic mechs, and fused aliens, went on for two days of overtime.
The two commentators' voices were already hoarse from shouting, and the technical department that was repairing the venue was exhausted.
With neither contestant showing any sign of a winner, the exhausted organizers finally announced in despair:
Final – Draw!
The first double champion in the history of the Etherfront has been born!
"By the way, Sora,"
Toppa set down her wine glass, her slightly raised eyebrows carrying a hint of a smile:
"I relayed your previous suggestions regarding the attribute system to the Etherfront development team. After evaluation, they felt it was very forward-thinking and will be undergoing a major overhaul next season!"
The simple three-attribute cycle of restraint has been replaced with the 18 destiny attributes proposed by Qiong, making the entire Ether Spirit attribute system more refined and strategically deeper.
"That's good. Let the Ministry of Justice pay more attention," Qiong said with a smile.
Topa blinked in confusion. What does this have to do with the Ministry of Justice?
"in addition."
Topa then changed the subject with a laugh, "The organizers have also kept up with the times and customized a few new rules."
"What new rules?"
The three ducks surrounding Seele—Silver Wolf, Haunted Rabbit, and the silver-haired beauty with a large exterior and a small interior—stopped their open and covert struggles.
Toppa cleared his throat:
"The main points are... prohibiting players from swapping decks, permanently banning players from recording their data as Ether Spirits to personally enter the battlefield, and..."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the stars and the sky.
"Ultraman and other Aether Spirits with values exceeding 100 million points will be permanently banned from the competition. They will exist only as commemorative Aether Spirits in the database, or as guardian Aether Spirits for the event venue."
"what?!"
Upon hearing these rules, Xingqiong immediately became unhappy.
"Ha, if you're bad, practice more! If you can't handle losing, don't play! Banning cards just because you can't beat them? The organizers have no shame!"
Qiong crossed her arms and shook her head.
"Why can't we use the God Cards?! We earned them through our own abilities... cough, we subdued them through our own abilities!"
Xing waved the chicken leg bone she hadn't finished gnawing on.
"Forget it, this Ether Front..."
Qiong's face was filled with a 'seeing-through' disappointment, as if announcing the end of an era:
"It's rotten in the end! It's meaningless."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Xing nodded and swayed his head in agreement, looking disgusted.
"We're doing work even when there's none! We're out of work!"
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously let out a affected, drawn-out sigh.
"Sigh—there's really no other way. It seems I can only go back and find some new ethereal spirits to play with."
So, do you still want to play?
March 7th couldn't help but complain, "I just said there's no work and it's rotten!"
"Hey! Qiongzai! I have an idea!?"
Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she raised her oily index finger.
Qiong glanced at the gray-haired girl, and the moment their golden eyes met, a strange, unspoken connection made Qiong fall into thought.
"That's right, the Black Tower is urging us to test the simulated universe again."
Qiong stroked her chin:
"Let Bunita try to recreate the number one player and the God of Fun from the simulated universe as Ether Spirits. Even if only a small amount of their values can be restored, it should be enough."
"Leaving aside the other star gods, Aha would definitely be happy to appear as an ethereal spirit."
This time I took Giovanni's name; next time I'll play as Ether.
"...Have some humanity!"
March 7th listened in stunned silence and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Where is the fairness in esports?
Where is the spirit of sports?
Where is the moral bottom line?
Haitu revealed Duck's signature (???) expression, her tone flat and emotionless.
Qiong scoffed, elegantly crossing his legs, and glanced sideways at Haitu and Yinlang:
"I think at least some of the people here are not qualified to talk about the fairness of esports."
"Don't compare me to some cheaters! This is the first time I've ever used cheats in my gaming career! And..."
Hazard puffed out its rather unremarkable chest and declared righteously:
"I'm doing this entirely to punish that guy who has no gaming ethics and can't play without cheating! This is a righteous act!"
"Oh huh?"
Stars, always eager for drama, fanned the flames:
"You dare to read out my aunt's ID number?"
What are you saying?!
Silver Wolf was instantly enraged, his face turning bright red.
"Who says you can't play without cheating?! I... I'm just making good use of the game mechanics!"
Although the voice was loud, it was clear that it lacked confidence.
Seeing Haha Rabbit's expression of 'I'll just watch you argue' (???) and Xing's gloating smile, Silver Wolf's inner universe was burning.
Decided!
I'll go back and immediately go into seclusion to hone my gaming skills!
At the very least, I need to be able to hold my own against this damn rabbit without using cheats!
Otherwise, how will I maintain my glorious image in front of Seele in the future?
hateful!

The simulated universe testing project team originally consisted of only three people, but Ruan Mei joined not long ago, so now there are four.
