"...So, you aren't the Stellaron Hunter Silver Wolf?"
After Miss Haxxor Bunny's slightly irritable explanation, March 7th scratched her head and continued, somewhat embarrassed:
"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
"But you look really alike, simply as much as the two Sushangs do."
March 7th gestured with her hands.
"Indeed, a bit too similar."
Stelle rested her chin on her hand, scanning Haxxor with a look of novelty: "I'd believe it if you said you were parallel world isotopes."
With the examples of Silver Wing and Rand-Duck, as well as Li Sushang and the Grunt Silly Sushang before them, the Express crew was becoming increasingly accustomed to the appearance of parallel world isotopes.
"Parallel world... isotope? What does that mean?"
The vocabulary was intuitive enough that with Haxxor's IQ, she could easily understand it, which was exactly why she was both surprised and suspicious.
She and Bronie were parallel world isotopes, so how come a Silver Wolf had popped up? Could it be the 'her' of this world?
"It just means people in parallel worlds who look very similar."
Stelle's answer made Haxxor frown. Her gaze looked around, re-examining Caelus, Stelle, March 7th, and Leylah.
At first, Haxxor regarded this group as scammers. Although Caelus calculated divination quite accurately and was suspected to be a hidden master, it still couldn't avoid the fact that the things sold at the stall were rip-offs.
The gray-haired girl claiming to be 'Little Shi' looked like a habitual fraudster no matter how you looked at her. The pink-haired one still had a bit of conscience, but as they say, he who lies with dogs rises with fleas.
This combination was just like the common gang squads and swindling groups in Arc City.
After a brief conversation, Haxxor discovered that these guys were not simple at all. Even the phenomenon of parallel world isotopes, which she found novel and surprising based on her own experience, was spoken of plainly by these guys, as if it weren't anything peculiar.
[The other me, are there many parallel world isotopes in this world? Have you heard of that Silver Wolf?]
[Not clear. My intelligence is only limitedly more than yours. I've heard of Silver Wolf, but only the name.]
Bronie and Haxxor communicated rapidly through their mental connection. The corners of Caelus's mouth rose in a delighted arc.
To be fair, even if Haxxor's IQ was high, she couldn't withstand his combo punch!
Anyone who came would fall for it.
"Oh~ The outside world is indeed super interesting... That Silver Wolf, what kind of person is she?"
Having finished communicating with 'herself,' Haxxor hummed twice and looked up, asking Stelle and March 7th with great interest.
"You don't know the Stellaron Hunters?"
The crowd had dispersed. Sitting on the small stool of the antique stall where Stelle stocked goods from trash cans, March 7th and Leylah were helping to tidy up the stall. Hearing Haxxor's words, March tilted her head in confusion.
"They are the most notorious wave of wanted criminals in the galaxy."
Haxxor felt nervous for a split second. Sure enough, lacking the 'common sense of this world' as a transmigrator was too troublesome.
Fortunately, March 7th was not someone who thought deeply. After all, there were so many people in the world; it was normal for some not to pay attention to interstellar wanted criminals.
"Silver Wolf is one of the members of the Stellaron Hunters, a hacker expert."
Having a chance to display her knowledge—or rather, experience—March 7th coughed lightly twice, adopting the senior posture she used when educating Stelle and Caelus on interstellar common sense, and started chattering away.
"Oh~ A hacker expert?"
Hearing March 7th talk about how dangerous Silver Wolf was, calling her a legend in the hacker world and the top hacker in the universe, the interest in Haxxor's eyes grew stronger.
"Is there anything else?"
Similar appearance, same profession. It seemed she and this Silver Wolf indeed had a lot of destiny connecting them.
"There is. But the rest isn't free intelligence."
The Stellaron spirit was still roleplaying the shrewd merchant mode, rubbing her fingers together at Haxxor.
"I have exclusive intelligence on Silver Wolf. Do you want it?"
"Oh~ Exclusive intelligence!"
Haxxor blinked in surprise, but her expression gradually froze as she thought of something.
She had started her career doing intelligence business with Serpent's Eye, so she naturally knew the importance and value of intelligence. It was perfectly justified for Stelle to ask for an intelligence fee.
The problem was, she had just transmigrated. She had no currency of this world at all, wasn't familiar with the interstellar network, and couldn't use hacker tech to get money.
[If you want to buy it, buy it. I got some money earlier.]
Sensing Haxxor's embarrassment, Bronie spoke up in time to relieve the situation.
Giving money to Stelle was just moving it from the left hand to the right hand for her, and she could even make Haxxor owe her a favor.
Ah, favors. Once too many are remembered, they can't be repaid.
When the time comes, Haxxor wouldn't even be able to voice any objection if she wanted to stop Bronie from falling in love. Using someone else's body and owing a huge pile of favors, how could she have the face to say 'don't have intimate contact with your boyfriend'?
[Thanks! The other me.]
Haxxor wasn't a petty character to begin with, let alone when facing another self. She was only slightly embarrassed for two seconds before accepting dashingly.
She felt a compatibility even greater than biological twin sisters. The other self was truly nice!
Bronie smiled without speaking.
Just watch, Little Haxxor will even have to help her count the money.
"How much?"
"Only 999,998 credits."
"Are you robbing someone?"
"I dare guarantee, there are no more than ten people in the entire galaxy who know this intel."
Stelle hooked her arm around Haxxor's shoulder. That tall figure, identical to Caelus, allowed her to look down on most women; it could be called a standard model height combined with a devilish figure.
The Galactic Succubus wasn't just a title, but breaking the mind-bewitching charm only required Stelle to move her small face and make any random expression.
"That's still too expensive."
Miss Haxxor Bunny, who moonlights as an intel peddler, compared it with the market prices in Arc City. She could roughly judge that the price Stelle quoted wasn't expensive—in fact, it was very cheap. But the money on Bronie's phone wasn't enough!
She was forced to haggle.
"Your brother even said I have a marriage affinity with him. Give me some face."
At this moment, Caelus's previous fortune-telling result came into play.
Before, Haxxor believed half of it; now she could temporarily believe all of it.
"Huh?"
Hearing Haxxor's words, both Stelle and March 7th were stunned. Leylah, who had been quiet and somewhat out of place with the two the whole time, instantly had eyes that became sharp, causing Haxxor to involuntarily take a small step back.
"Who is his sister!"
Star-baby, looking unhappy, shouted loudly.
She understood that others seeing her and Caelus-cub would definitely think the two were twins, but the problem was, why did everyone think she was the younger sister?
Reasonably speaking, no matter how you look at it, she should be the older sister!
"Not so?" Haxxor leaned back slightly. "Then you are...?"
"I am his/her father."
Stelle and Caelus spoke in unison, pointing at each other in a mirror-image posture.
Haxxor: "?"
She was confused.
"Heh heh~"
Stelle sized up Caelus with a cheeky little look, the motion of turning her head flinging her exquisite gray hair: "Forget it. Since this guy said so, I'll give you a six-figure discount."
"Six-figure discount..." Haxxor rapidly calculated the price in her brain.
"Yup, 99,998. That's sincere enough, right? This is exclusive intel on a universe-level wanted criminal."
Stelle smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of clean, healthy silver teeth, looking cute and lovely.
"?"
Haxxor's clever brain jammed briefly.
"No, sister, didn't you say a six-figure discount? How did you calculate that?"
"There are six figures total. Knock off one figure, that's five figures." Stelle looked as if this were a matter of course.
"..."
Haxxor was thoughtful. So, is a discount in this world just directly knocking off a digit?
Gotta note down this common sense.
With the prompt from her other self, Haxxor used the phone from a different spacetime to transfer the credits to the gray-haired girl:
"Alright, now you should tell me the intel, right?"
"No problem!"
Happily looking at the credits earned through her own hard work, Stelle leaned into Haxxor's ear and whispered mysteriously:
"I'm telling you, Silver Wolf looks like a high-level gamer, but actually she sucks. She can't even beat the Titans in the trial stages. She sucks but loves to play, and if she can't win, she uses hacks!"
"The so-called God of the Gaming Realm is entirely the result of hacking!"
Stelle wasn't lying. After all, when they had time at night, Silver Wolf, Caelus-cub, Seele, her, and Ah Qi would often group up. Over time, they had figured out the other party's background.
Okay, Silver Wolf couldn't actually be called 'sucks', but solely in terms of skill, she definitely couldn't be called a God of the Gaming Realm.
"Huh??"
Haxxor's eyes went wide again.
What the hell?
The universe's number one hacker uses hacks often when playing games!
Does that even count as a hacker?
She kinda didn't hope to be an isotope with Silver Wolf anymore. It was too embarrassing.
Able to perceive Haxxor's psychological state through the mental connection, Bronie was also stoking the fire.
[Exactly, exactly. What kind of skill is hacking?]
Caelus also couldn't beat a hacking Silver Wolf, especially when the other party wanted to act cool in front of Seele.
But Haxxor was different. Caelus still remembered that in a Honkai event called 'Honkai Salvation Log,' Haxxor forcefully went up against a hacking opponent and fought her way to first place on the leaderboard.
She was a true gaming god with God-slaying level skills!
"No, what kind of important intel is this?"
After roasting Silver Wolf's hacking behavior with Bronie for a while, Haxxor reacted, looking at Stelle expressionlessly.
"How does it not count? That Silver Wolf has ridiculously heavy self-esteem regarding games. If you post the truth online, she might just follow the network cable to find you and argue," Stelle quibbled.
"Heh, I now suspect the intel you're selling is fake."
Haxxor's eyelid twitched frantically.
Because Da Shi was a deeply unfathomable metaphysics master, she had trusted Little Shi. As a result, the other party really was a fraudster!
"Impossible, my intel is absolutely real!"
Stelle's decisive and confident aura made Haxxor pause. "Based on what?"
"Based on the fact that Silver Wolf is my Little Aunt!"
Stelle put her hands on her hips, throwing her chest out and lifting her head.
Stunned Haxxor:
What the hell!
Aren't Stellaron Hunters interstellar wanted criminals?
How is there a niece here setting up a stall with such swagger?
Wait!
Regardless of whether the actual relationship between the two Gray-hairs is brother and sister or sister and brother, it's certain that there is a direct blood relationship between them. If Little Shi is Silver Wolf's niece, then Da Shi...
Haxxor cast an inquiring gaze at the gray-haired young man.
"I am Silver Wolf's Foster Father." Caelus smiled faintly.
"What the hell is a Foster Father? Do you help her rank up, bring her food, and help her chase gi...rls?"
Haxxor's roasting soul rose up majestically.
As her words reached the end, the volume gradually lowered. The possibility that she and Silver Wolf were isotopes, and the white-skirted girl who lingered in her mind even now... In the instant she realized the problem, Haxxor's expression gradually became serious.
"Mm."
Caelus nodded with a chuckle.
Haxxor gritted her teeth, cupped her hands in salute, and said in a booming voice:
"Bunny has drifted half a lifetime, never meeting a wise master. If Sir does not discard me, Bunny wishes to bow as Foster Father!"
"???"
This time, the people with heads full of question marks became March 7th and Stelle.
