"No, Bronya can't understand why there are suddenly points, and why there's suddenly an automatic vending machine. Didn't we arrive here through a shipwreck? Why is everything arranged after we arrived here?"
Bronya became the commentator!
But the design provided by The Elation is indeed something worth commenting on. Bronya almost commented on everything that Bronie wanted to say.
"When we arrived at this beach and met Elysia Pardo and Fu Hua, in fact, almost everything was arranged for us." Bronie said as she approached the vending machine, which had a touchscreen with a cat paw print that needed to be pressed to unlock.
"Pardo!"
"Coming!"
"Come, unlock this vending machine, so everyone won't have to worry about not having anything to eat!"
"No, Bronie, why me? Is it just because there's a cat paw print on it that you made me do it?"
"Who knows, maybe this thing will explode, or grab the hand of the person unlocking it and inject digestive enzymes into their body, turning them into a husk, or..."
"Eek!"
"Okay okay, Bronie, don't scare Pardo! Isn't there something written on it? Pardofelis needs to complete the corresponding task to unlock the vending machine, while this one is Fu Hua's task~"
There are two vending machines, and there should be a variety of items inside. Underground, there's a passage connected, and Bronie feels like it's Vill-V's handwriting.
"So will really terrifying things appear?"
Pardo peeked out from behind Elysia.
"It shouldn't, why don't you let Can try?"
"Yes! That's right! Can, help me press the touchscreen!"
"Meow!"
Originally, Can refused, but Pardo's throwing skills were nothing to be trifled with.
The chubby cat touched the touchscreen, and then a new golden card appeared at the vending machine's outlet.
Seeing no danger, Fu Hua also pressed the touchscreen.
[Please, Miss Pardofelis, catch the King Crab Overlord in this sea area.]
[Please, Miss Hua, participate in the beach volleyball bidding competition and achieve first place.]
"Hahaha! Fishing is what I'm best at!"
Pardo ignored why there was such a domineering title as the King Crab Overlord and only saw fishing as the action.
Fishing?
Pardo was very familiar with it!
"Volleyball? Although I can play volleyball, it's just this remote place, where did it come from..."
Fu Hua's gaze turned to where she was before.
Nina was crying on the beach, and Sin looked puzzled.
As for why?
Because the giant sand sculpture they built hadn't been seen by Bronie yet collapsed suddenly.
And the culprit of all this was the sudden appearance of the beach volleyball court!
One volleyball, a fence, and many imprisoned Honkai Beasts!
"As long as you eliminate all the opponents, then you are the champion. As for what the eliminated Honkai Beasts will become, Fu Hua, you don't need to think too much about it."
Bronie saw the essence of this beach volleyball at a glance, so she placed her hand on Fu Hua's shoulder and solemnly warned her.
"But in a normal volleyball game, you can't physically attack others..."
"So you need to use the volleyball. Based on my observation, the volleyball has been specially reinforced. Just treat it as a training session."
With Bronie's explanation, Fu Hua suddenly understood and integrated practice into every aspect of her life, which was a very good idea.
"Then I'm up!"
Fu Hua was full of enthusiasm, and Bronie turned her gaze to Pardo.
Pardo appeared to be interested in a small forest. At the boundary where the beach and the small forest merged, there was a conveniently open space.
"You are—"
Elysia followed behind Pardo and saw a familiar friend on the beach.
The reason for being called familiar.
Mainly because the man in front of her might not quite fit Elysia's inherent impression.
Under the giant coconut tree, under the beach chair, there was a young and handsome man wearing a white shirt and floral shorts, wearing pink cat-style sunglasses, and holding a highball glass filled with sparkling water.
He looked so relaxed.
"Su, what are you doing here!?"
Elysia was extremely surprised.
How should she put it? Normally, Su is quite steady; he often contemplates philosophical questions alone, as if he had seen through the world and entered a state of enlightenment.
If it weren't for Bronya bringing the game to the Elysian Realm, Su would probably spend his days meditating under his Bodhi tree.
Because of this inherent impression, when Elysia saw Su looking so relaxed, she began to doubt her eyesight.
"Moreover, he seems to be enjoying it very much. Brother Su, didn't we arrive on this island because of a shipwreck?"
In Pardo's perception, everyone was in a state of distress, and now they were still surviving in the wilderness.
Su replied leisurely, "Please don't be deceived by appearances. Actually, I'm also helpless. I've been imprisoned here by a mysterious person. My heart is very anxious and painful. And I was originally visiting Kevin in the Sea of Quanta, but accidentally ended up here. Can you understand my despair and confusion?"
The glass in his hand was dazzling in the sunlight, and on the table beside him was a drink in half a coconut shell
I totally couldn't tell!
Pardo didn't know what to say.
Should she complain?
There appears to be too much to complain about, to the point that Pardo's brain had malfunctioned. She didn't know what to complain about.
"So, what's the situation on the island? How much do you know?" Bronie also appeared behind Elysia.
"It seems that this time the Aeon is preparing for a big game..."
Seeing Bronie also involved, along with Bronya behind her, and even the children in the distance playing volleyball, the only one who could orchestrate all of this was probably the Aeon.
Since resistance was futile, let's just enjoy it.
"Cough, let's get back to the point. The island isn't very big, and I don't know much about the interior. But the mysterious person gave me a task, which is to specifically explain the rules of this survival game to you all, as well as some precautions about the game."
Su put down the glass in his hand, got up from the lounge chair, and became serious.
However, with the floral wreath around his neck and the sunglasses on his face, he didn't look serious at all.
"To complete challenges, earn points, explore new areas, and then exchange items, right?" "It seems that Miss Bronie had already investigated a lot before meeting me, huh?"
Su was also a little surprised. Initially, everyone should have felt panicked, but not Bronya.
"Hey, Bronie, weren't you just as happy as Su under the parasol? How do you know so much?" Pardo was full of doubt.
After all, among all the people, Bronie was the most relaxed. She even had the leisure to apply sunscreen to everyone.
The fishing rod and other things could be projected at hand as well.
"Isn't this information very obvious? Just analyze it a bit and you'll know. This is just a game. Behind survival, there's also a game. So there must be rules, rewards, and challenges."
"And also, if the rules are broken, there will be punishment. I'm not sure what the specific punishment will be, but my intuition tells me that it definitely won't be a good thing."
Su was a mental-type MANTIS, with similar abilities to foresee the future. While he didn't know what kind of punishment breaking the rules would entail, it would definitely be more painful than playing Getting Over It with your eyes closed.
Su's serious warning made Pardo bristle. "Alright alright! I get it! Can I just go and do it now? Just fishing, right? The King Crab Overlord, right? I'll go fishing!"
With that, Pardo took the fishing rod and tried using the best bait she could make to try to catch the so-called King Crab Overlord in the sea.
Of course, more importantly, the King Crab Overlord definitely wouldn't be small, so Pardo tried to use the biggest hook and bait she could.
"Can this really work?" Elysia was a little worried and wanted to hear Su's opinion.
"I'm not sure about this, but generally speaking, the King Crab Overlord definitely won't be small. I suspect this fishing rod might not be enough."
"Oh! I caught it! I caught it! It's huge! Wait... "
Just as Pardo felt a huge pulling force on the fishing rod, she almost got pulled into the sea by the fish!
This could only mean that the creature in the sea was definitely a huge one!
The small fishing rod unexpectedly couldn't handle it. "Sorry, Bronie, I accidentally broke your fishing rod..."
"It's okay, it was just projected by me anyway. So, do we continue?"
"Of course we do. I just saw the approximate size of the King Crab Overlord, so the King Crab Overlord Capture Plan 2.0 is ready. We just need a big enough fishing rod, a large enough bait, and a strong enough fishing line!"
"Big? How about this?"
With that, Bronie projected a metal rod according to the specifications of a flagpole.
"Wow... Bronie, you're amazing. Without you, we would definitely be in trouble for a while! But this rod is too hard. It's not suitable for fishing. Fishing requires wrestling with the fish, so the rod needs to have a certain flexibility."
"Flexibility..." Bronya pondered for a moment.
"If it needs to be flexible and also long enough, it's indeed a bit troublesome. Let me think about it..."
"No, no need to bother Bronie!"
Pardo suddenly looked as if she had found a treasure and came to Su's side.
Su thought there was nothing for him to do here and was planning to enjoy a peaceful vacation.
But then Pardo came.
"Su!"
"Is there something wrong?"
Su suddenly had a bad feeling.
"It's this one! The size, the flexibility, and the moisture content inside the wood are just right! Su, I want to use it as a fishing rod to complete my task!"
"No time to waste, then I'll just saw it down directly..."
Seeing Bronie take out the chainsaw, Su's eyelids twitched slightly, almost raising.
"Wait a minute!"
"Oh! Su, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly make such a loud noise?" Elysia was also startled.
"You can't cut down this coconut tree..."
"Why not? Does it involve some kind of game rule?" Bronie stopped the chainsaw and put it down temporarily.
"What! Is there something like that too!" Elysia also looked over.
Of course, Bronie's gaze was to see through everything.
Under the gaze of everyone, Su couldn't help but tremble slightly at the corners of his mouth, and then he revealed the reason.
"The only beauty..."
"What do you mean?" Pardo was a little confused, but the chainsaw started to roar again, scaring Su.
"This coconut tree is the only beautiful thing I have on this island! Even if that's the case, are you going to take it away from me? It's just the right size, with a body close to nature, and a flexible swaying in the wind. I almost ended up as fish food, then was controlled by the Aeon and assigned unspeakable guidance tasks. I've been alone in this small area, with only this coconut tree as my companion. I even wanted to name it Friday..."
ZZZZZZZZ
Before Su could continue explaining, Bronie began to play the villain.
Then, the coconut tree collapsed with a loud crash.
The chainsaw dissipated in Bronie's hand, and then Bronie walked up to Su, locking eyes with him.
"Why..."
"Hate me. This is the necessary evil of our team. Hate me if you must, exhaust all wisdom, use all power, escape from this island, and then seek revenge against me!"
"Is this the survival instinct that humans should have... there wasn't even a hint of hesitation, and even the emotion of hatred is being utilized... you... win!"
"No, Bronie, didn't you just need to project a parasol and a fan for Su? There was no need to go this far, right!?"
Elysia couldn't bear it anymore. She never expected Bronie to go along with this act.
It amused her.
"If we use casual exchange, how can we maintain hatred... Well, let's stop fooling around. Enjoy your vacation, Su. We'll have a barbecue tonight! Of course, the premise is to gather everyone together!"
"Yeah, I'll keep an eye on the others."
With the fishing rod in hand and no need to worry about the line, Bronie could easily project it.
"Now we just need a big enough bait~ Fortunately, the versatile Pardofelis also has a way! But it may require Hua's help. Only she has the ability to be inconspicuous enough to not let the bait notice..."
As she spoke, a violent explosion occurred on the beach, with Fu Hua holding a volleyball, and the original volleyball court had become a mess.
"What's wrong, Nina?"
"The Honkai Beasts... All the Honkai Beasts were killed by the volleyball!!!"

Volleyball, how can it kill Honkai Beasts?
In the past, if Sin heard someone say that just using a volleyball could kill a five-meter-high Honkai Beast, and it would disappear like snowflakes, Sin would only scoff at them for not understanding Honkai at all.
But she truly witnessed Immortal Fu Hua's combat power, all she could do was look up in awe.
No, with such power, why can't Honkai be solved?
To know nothing about Honkai, is it really just herself!?
"This performance isn't perfect enough this time. It seems I have indeed been negligent for a while."
Fu Hua wiped away imaginary sweat, looking extremely strained.
As for the beach?
The original beach had turned into a small lake, and if the seawater continued to fill up and the mouth of the sea was sealed off, it might even form a fish and shrimp breeding area.
Of course, these were all things to consider in the future. Unless one wanted to stay on this small island for a year, this pit would definitely be of little use.
[Detected that Hua completed the challenge, unlocking the automatic vending machine for beverages...]
"Hua, come help me!"
The vending machine unexpectedly contained beverages, but since it didn't require many points, Bronya spent a few to get some refreshing drinks for the children.
Afterwards, she saw Pardo approaching Hua, asking her to help with baiting.
Yes, the giant fish bait that Pardo thought of turned out to be Can.
But it made sense.
After stealing and eating so much fish, it wouldn't be fair if Can wasn't used as punishment.
Besides, with the agile and sufficiently plump Can, it was more than capable of luring the so-called King Crab Overlord.
"Is it really okay to fish without a hook?"
Bronya felt like she was witnessing something very magical: fishing without a hook, with the bait being a cat or something.
"Generally speaking, the King Crab Overlord is no longer something a fishing hook can handle. So, we just need to lure it out with bait and then attack directly. This way, we can capture the King Crab Overlord." Bronie explained to Bronya's side, and Bronya immediately realized what would happen next.
Once the King Crab Overlord was lured out, they would inevitably face a battle!
Yes, a battle!
"It's here!"
"Meow~"
The way Can meowed was truly heartbreaking, but when the King Crab Overlord appeared, the restraints on Can disappeared, and Can ran over to Su with a look of grievance.
"This is the King Crab Overlord?"
"I didn't expect it to be such a huge crab. But I remember, aren't these crabs only found in the deep sea? And what does such a big crab usually eat?"
Elysia was also startled by the King Crab Overlord and quickly asked Pardo to reel it in with the fishing line.
The King Crab Overlord was extremely huge, much larger than most of the Honkai Beasts encountered on the beach earlier. Bronya even suspected that it had reached the level of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
But it wasn't a completely Honkai Beast; it was one of those animals infected with Honkai energy.
"Help! Hua, and Elysia!"
The huge King Crab Overlord waved its claws menacingly, frightening Pardo who quickly dodged. Elysia also stood up helplessly, brandishing her weapon.
"As for fighting, there's absolutely no problem leaving it to me. Elysia, you just need to focus on being beautiful." Bronie pressed Elysia's hand.
"Finally couldn't resist the urge to take action?" Elysia asked.
"I was just thinking, is there a surprise prepared for me in this survival game? So, let me try it out, alright?"
"Since it's Bronie's request, of course, I'll agree~ Come on~"
Elysia stepped aside, and the so-called King Crab Overlord turned out to be a giant crab.
"First, block its retreat, limit the crab's range of movement, and then bombard... use the energy beams of the Selene to clear the Honkai energy inside the crab..."
"Wait, are we cooking here?"
Pardo suddenly realized as she watched the huge energy barrier surrounding the crab. She suddenly realized that the river mouth of the island seems to have turned into a huge pot.
"If we steam the crab, it should taste delicious, right? I guess the next vending machine will definitely have the seasoning we need!"
Drones began to hover, and the crab made no sound, but its giant claws churning in the seawater seemed like a silent resistance.
It was struggling constantly to survive, even the energy barrier flickered under attack.
But was it effective?
Bronie's drones multiplied, and the crab's shell gradually turned red, looking extremely appetizing.
"Wow... Bronie, you're amazing!"
"If steamed, it can preserve the original flavor of the crab to a great extent, but it also needs seasoning to make its taste richer. Freshness is a taste that greatly benefits from other flavors. If it's just freshness alone, it will only make people feel nauseous."
The King Crab Overlord showed no signs of struggle, and the steam generated from the heated seawater floated in the air, spreading its scent.
It's, um... the strong smell of the sea, somewhat foul, but also a bit fragrant.
The commotion attracted the children's attention, and the vending machine was successfully unlocked!
Basically, everything inside could be exchanged for 1 point, and Bronya found all the seasonings she could think of, as well as skewers and various cooking utensils.
There was even a Honkai Energy Detection Device, used to detect the amount of Honkai Energy in food.
"Wow~"
Watching the drones slowly lift the huge King Crab Overlord, with the energy shield gradually disappearing, Pardo couldn't help but shed some tears.
Crab! It's a huge crab!
"Can this thing really be eaten?"
Because they defeated the King Crab Overlord, the entire team received a thousand points. Nina earned twenty points for building sandcastle, and Pardo earned nearly a hundred points through multiple fishing attempts.
For everyone, these points were quite sufficient.
Of course, once the points reached a certain level, the next area would be unlocked. But the surprise Bronya anticipated didn't happen, which disappointed her.
"There's a Honkai Energy Detection Device in the vending machine. We can take a sample to test the concentration of Honkai Energy in the crab meat. As long as it's safe, we can eat it directly. Is this The Elation's work?"
"The King Crab Overlord is already quite frightening, isn't it? After all, when it appears, if it weren't for Hua, the other monsters rushing out could endanger the children."
Elysia wanted to defend the King Crab Overlord's reputation, but if Elysia were to deal with it, it would be quite easy. However, to make it edible like this, Elysia felt she probably couldn't do it herself.
"Here, Sister Ellie, soy sauce and mustard..."
"Thank you! Seele~ You're the cutest!"
"Wait, Elysia, I haven't..."
"...Forget it..."
Bronie was about to remind Elysia, but then remembered she was a judge.
"Hmm~ The taste is not bad~ Bronie, do you want to try?" Elysia held up a piece of tender white meat with chopsticks from the newly opened gap in the claw.
"Come on, Bronya, ahh~"
"Ah..." Without hesitation, Bronie ate it.
The taste of mustard, soy sauce, combined with the steamed crab...
"Hmm... It feels... just okay. It's amazing, though. I don't know how this crab grew so big. Crabs are supposed to be scavengers, so how did it grow so big by eating all sorts of things? And there's hardly any Honkai Energy inside..."
"Is it delicious?" Elysia approached.
"Hmm, it's okay... It retains the original flavor of the ingredients, I think it's pretty good..." l
"No!"
"Huh?"
Bronie was very puzzled about what Elysia wanted to say.
"I mean, how do I taste?"
It was only then that Bronie realized, this, wasn't this just an indirect...
"Hahaha! Bronie's shy look is so cute. How could you taste the flavor so easily on chopsticks? As you said, the taste of this crab is really good, I think it should be enough for everyone tonight."
"Hmph!" Bronie could only cover her embarrassment with other things, going to the vending machine and looking for what it sold. There were many things inside, but considering that the children only ate crab, it might be nutritionally unbalanced, so Bronya needed to consider preparing something else.
Of course, there was no need to worry about water, as Bronie could make a seawater filtration device through projection, and even refine sea salt directly for seasoning.
[Bronie's extra challenge, 30 points, awarded by Mysterious Figure No. 1.]
Inside the vending machine, Bronie found such a thing.
A challenge, and it was an extra challenge.
As for Mysterious Figure No. 1?
She is completely clueless.
But did this affect Bronie? The challenge was there. Achievement was waiting for her to unlock.
Without hesitation, Bronie consumed the points.
Watching the points decrease from 1653 to 1623, a golden card appeared in the delivery slot.
[Please make Elysia laugh happily, reward 400 points.]
Hiss, could Mysterious Figure No. 1 be Elysia?
But to laugh happily?
Normally, Elysia always smiled, which meant that the so-called happy laughter was definitely not the usual business-like smile, but a hearty laugh.
But this was troublesome!
Should Bronie give Elysia a hug and then gaze into her eyes for thirty seconds?
Or contribute more beautiful girls to Elysia?
Or give her some small gifts?
Randomly giving gifts would only lead to misunderstandings, and it might not even complete the task. Moreover, Bronie was quite shy in front of everyone.
"Bronya~"
"Huh? What's up, Ellie?" Elysia caught up again, looking at the golden paper in Bronie's hand.
"Oh~ What's Bronie's challenge this time? Why don't I have a challenge? It's really strange~"
"Challenges like this may need us to find and trigger them on our own. As for my challenge... it's strange, it's a task issued by Mysterious Figure No. 1, asking you to laugh happily."
"Wow! That's so amazing!" Elysia leaned over in surprise to look at the task paper in Bronie's hand.
It was indeed as Bronya said.
Then Elysia smiled cunningly. "Bronie~"
Immediately, Bronie's alertness was at its peak!
This smile, Bronie was familiar with it.
Whenever Elysia had some mischievous idea, she would show this smile.
"Shall I perform a magic trick for you? Or maybe come up with a new game? Or new clothes?"
"New clothes? Hmm... that set of spring peach blossom attire is really, really beautiful~ But compared to new clothes, I hope more—" Elysia approached again.
"Hug me, then gaze into my eyes for thirty seconds! By the way, I haven't hugged you in so long... I really, really miss your hugs, Bronie. This time, I finally left the Elysian Realm and reunited with you, so can you hug me?"
Hiss— Elysia's request made it impossible for Bronya to refuse completely.
The restless little feet that were a bit reluctant to retreat instantly froze, and Bronie slowly opened her arms, revealing her broad chest.
The fragrant smell hit her, like the morning dew with a floral fragrance.
Followed by the collision of planets.
The gentle touch of an airbag.
Intertwined arms. And whispers—
"I love Bronie the most!"
"I love Elysia too."
Bronie's response made Elysia very happy!
"And now it's time to gaze into each other's eyes! Let me use your eyes as a mirror~"
This was... too... too much, wasn't it?
While hugging, they couldn't see each other, but now, after gazing into each other's eyes,
Bronie felt her face must be burning red.
"Hmm, hmm, a very nice expression~ Hehe~ This time, it's really rare to leave the Elysian Realm. It's a rare experience, a feeling of truly being alive. Why is that?"
"But... maybe it's because there's a certain difference between memory replic and your current form of existence, there might be some changes in details and feelings..."
"Bronie is studying very hard! Do you want to continue investigating?"
"I think Mobius and Vill-V will definitely not idle, especially Mobius. I'm very worried about them. After settling the children, the next goal is to continue exploring the island and find other people."
"You're thinking about other girls while looking at me, Bronie is a bit fickle~"
Being criticized like this by Elysia, Bronie hesitated.
This was Bronie's way of diverting her attention, because if she looked again, Bronie felt her face would explode!
But now, being reminded by Elysia, her attention was again focused on Elysia's delicate face. There was no trace of makeup, yet it looked so perfect.
"Hehehe~ That's good! Bronie's task is completed, I'm very happy. Next time, you must take a good look at me! You won't forget me, right?"
"Why would I forget?" Bronie answered as a matter of course, which surprised Elysia a little.
"Hehe, Bronie's mouth is so sweet~ It's a pity I didn't really taste it this time. Next time, when I truly have a body, I must taste the flavor of a rabbit~ Then you can't run away~"
"Ahem, the task is completed, we've reached the threshold of two thousand points, which means the next area will be opened. If we're lucky, we can continue to meet with other heroes. Let's go!"
"Hmm hmm, let's go. We must create an unforgettable vacation for everyone~
