The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Yes, even for a super hacker, it is very difficult to locate a unique object from the vast data stream, unless... there is a guide."

"Silver Wolf suddenly spoke, staring at Xing as he spoke."

"Obviously, Xing is the perfect guide."

"Sure enough..." Xing said helplessly, "So she is indeed the real Silver Wolf?"

(There are five people (Black Tower, Screw Gum, Silver Wolf, Leonard, and Ye), and three actors. Pioneer, you are not one of them!)

"That's a correct guess," Screw-Gum explained. "She left a backdoor in her office, intending to remotely hack into it while you were in the simulation, and then somehow come with us."

"You knew it from the beginning?" Xing already understood. She and Leonard were the only ones who knew nothing about their relationship!"

“I’m sorry, but the Black Tower forbids me from revealing any information in advance. She said that in this plan, what matters is not wisdom, but ignorance.”

"But in my opinion, the most important thing is persistence and sincerity. There is no doubt that Mr. Leonard's every move completely attracted the other party."

"ScrewGum's words have revealed everything. This was a trap for Silver Wolf from the very beginning."

"This means that the Silver Wolf is pretending to be an illusion, and ScrewGum and Black Tower are pretending not to know that this Silver Wolf is the real Silver Wolf... Alright, alright, they're all acting!"

Sun Ce was so numb that everyone thought that everyone, whether human or ghost, was acting, only the stars were being acted!

...Oh, and there's Leonard.

"Smart people are so scary. They never tell the truth." Sun Ce shook his head and sighed. Fortunately, he was not in that world, otherwise he would be acted so badly that even his mother wouldn't recognize him!

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, you are not going to play me, are you?"

"How could that be? We are half-brothers." Zhou Yu responded to his question with an extremely innocent look.

"That makes sense, we are brothers!"

…………

"Humph, you guys really noticed it a long time ago." Silver Wolf didn't panic at all.

"She seemed to have anticipated being discovered."

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy to hide it from you. All the gossip you've been saying along the way was for me, right?"

"As Silver Wolf spoke, ScrewGum had already appeared in the simulated universe and strolled over to Xing's side."

"It's a joy and an honor to fight you again. Heita said this cassette can catch the biggest fish in the galaxy—her judgment is always correct."

"ScrewGum is still so humble. He even used the honorific 'you'."

Silver Wolf: "So the shutdown of the universe and the dispute with the Black Tower were all staged? Just to lure me into a trap?"

"It's terrible, so terrible. He acted so realistically, like a real old fox... I am still the old Cheng Chunliang."

Cheng Yaojin patted his chest, his face full of horror.

He really didn't realize that Black Tower and Screw Gumu were acting just now!

This acting... is better than Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling!

He simply couldn't imagine what would happen if he were in that world and was deceived by Black Tower and Screw Gumu.

I'm afraid even if people are sold, they still have to help count the money.

"Don't worry, Yizhen, you are not qualified to be deceived by them." Li Shimin comforted.

Besides, you have been cheated by our group so many times, you should be more skilled.

Cheng Yaojin: “…”

What do you mean by "not qualified to be deceived"? This is a bit heartbreaking, Your Majesty.

…………

"That depends on your understanding. Black Tower and I have always been frank with each other, and sharp exchanges like this are common. To say it was all a show is inappropriate," said Screw Gum calmly.

"Hmph." Silver Wolf curled his lips.

"Screw Gum: "Miss Silver Wolf is truly a brilliant hacker. You've calculated everything, leaving plenty of variables and backup plans. I'm afraid the only variable in your plan is the news of my sudden visit to the space station—and with it, the devastating news that the simulation will be shut down."

"After hearing this explanation, Xing suddenly understood: "So she knew it might be a trap, but she had no choice but to take the risk."

"Yes," ScrewGum nodded. "Now you understand the whole story."

"The whole picture? No, no, you've missed the most crucial point." Silver Wolf shook his head, his eyes gradually lighting up.

"I'm not taking a risk, I'm eager to try! Screw Gum, do you know how excited I was the moment you showed up?"

"Reality is a game—but what's the point of playing if you can't have fun? Two geniuses have offered me an invitation, a challenge. How can I not accept it? Could you?"

"What a courageous girl! Black Tower has been noticed by the Star God of Wisdom, and that Screw Gum is probably no different. How could Silver Wolf dare to face both of them at the same time?"

The villagers were scratching their heads, puzzled.

He thought about it and decided that he wouldn't dare to do it anyway!

"You already said she's a Silver Wolf, and a Silver Wolf can fight Screw Gum on equal terms. Why wouldn't she dare face both of them at once?"

"Who do you think will win if a fight breaks out? Screw Gum and Black Tower, or Silver Wolf?"

"It should be Screwgum and Black Tower, right? Silver Wolf and Screwgum are equally matched, so if we add Black Tower, wouldn't Silver Wolf be finished?"

"Don't forget Xing is still here! She might help Silver Wolf... Look, it was Kafka who created Xing, and the materials for her creation were provided by Silver Wolf. So, if you round it off a bit, Silver Wolf is at least Xing's aunt!"

"Don't say it, really don't say it."

The villagers were discussing enthusiastically, and they said they were so thirsty that they didn't even want to drink water.

…………

"ScrewGum: Are you sure you can get away with it?"

"Yes, and take it with you." Silver Wolf took out the Ether cassette of the Punklord Spirit."

(“Silver Wolf, can you perform that again?” “Which one?” “That one… I’m not daydreaming about it!”)

"Ether cartridge? When…" Xing hurriedly looked towards the location of the Ether cartridge, only to find that the original cartridge was still there!

"The cassette in Silver Wolf's hand is a brand new one!"

"Oh? A replica, completed during our conversation just now?" ScrewGum remained calm as always."

"Why else would I have gone through all this preliminaries with you? You're not the only one stalling for time. I suspect the Black Tower is hacking back through the same tunnel I used, and you're responsible for staying here and engaging me head-on, like a replay of our last confrontation."

"Silver Wolf has her hands on her hips, looking confident of victory... Or perhaps, for her, even if she can't win, it doesn't matter. She just wants a duel that gets her blood boiling!"
