"Nero is so cute, sharing with everyone right away. Really a good kid. And those rainbow bubbles around him when he eats cake, that looks way too nice!"
Siberian Duck stared at the screen and made slurping sounds.
[Ugly Enough to Get Scolded at Home: Not just Nero is cute, Black Cutter is also a well-behaved and sensible good sword.]
[Little Fish's Sword: Hehe, thanks for the compliment!]
[Aha Isn't Here: 6. I declare, from now on, you are the real Black Cutter!]

[On Screen]
After Dan Heng got the cake, he didn't eat it, just set it down in front of him and gave a small smile.
Sushang ate hers right away.
As for Jimi, from his excited eyes and slightly flushed face, it was obvious he really wanted to eat.
But because of professional habits, he didn't start eating first. Instead, he focused on hosting:
"No matter whether your world has the concept of day and night, first of all, good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.
"Welcome to this version 1.3 preview special program, 'Heavenly Mirror Reflects Calamity Dust.'
"This time, your good friend Jimi will also bring you the latest information about version 1.3!"
After speaking, Jimi raised his wings and gestured toward the guest seats, introducing them:
"The three guests we've invited this time are, Mr. Dan Heng from the Astral Express, Sushang from the Xianzhou Yaoqing, currently studying on the Luofu, and our little sword immortal: Little Nero!"
"Once again, a warm welcome to the three of you. Speaking of which, last time, it was also Jimi hosting 'Approaching the Astral Express.' The original guest was Diviner Fu Xuan, but she had an eye condition at the time, and Nero happened to be visiting the company, so this child filled in for her."
"And this time, for the preview program, Diviner Fu Xuan is once again absent due to official duties, and our little sword immortal Nero has once again taken her place… what a rare coincidence, hahaha…"
Jimi was laughing when suddenly he heard Nero's slightly sinister voice, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm very free?"
Jimi froze on the spot, then his whole body started trembling.
"No, no… Boss Nero, you misunderstood, that… I just…"
Only then did Jimi suddenly remember that this adorable Boss Nero had a good relationship with Director Topaz and Director Aventurine… and also had major cooperation with the company… not someone you could casually joke about.
Fortunately, while Jimi was feeling uneasy, Nero didn't make things hard for him. He just said, "No choice, I really am pretty free.
"But this time Fu Xuan isn't actually absent. I just called her earlier because of Sister Sushang's issue.
"In the end, based on Sister Sushang's academic level, Fu Xuan decided to stay on the call and join the preview… which means..."
"Which means, everything you just said, I heard it all," Fu Xuan's voice suddenly sounded.
Right after that, a speech bubble appeared on Nero's side, and Fu Xuan's chibi figure showed up inside it.
"Ah, this…" Jimi froze, then quickly said, "Haha, Diviner, you know, my program is more on the humorous side, so sometimes I need to make a few small jokes…"
Fu Xuan: "Hm."
"Hahaha, Jimi's reliable academic level. Didn't expect Fu Xuan to join the preview in this way," Siberian Duck laughed.
[Madam Herta Fan Support Club: Jimi is so miserable, but I really want to laugh.]
[Pepe Is My Dog: Feels like Jimi's status in the studio is getting lower and lower. Is that just me?]
[Bluetooth Disconnected: Definitely not. Look at today's guest lineup. Fu Xuan is the Diviner of the Luofu, Dan Heng is half a Dragon Sovereign, Black Cutter is a Stellaron, even Jimi is a qualified Cloud Knight in terms of combat strength. And the last one is on a completely different level.]
[Bluetooth Disconnected: Sitting in front of Jimi is the Universal Sword Immortal, Heir of Pure Beauty, company collaborator, collaborator of genius Madam Herta, owner of A-Le-Ge-Ha's rift factory, hero of the space station, trailblazer of Belobog, mastermind behind Luofu's high-speed boating, youngest member of the Astral Express, friend of Miss Robin...]
[Master of the Demonic Sword Falling Star (Black Cutter), brother of the Aeon of Elation Aha, favored by the Aeon of Hunt Lan, new darling of the Knights of Pure Beauty, punches the Doomsday Beast, kicks the False Mother, solo fights Stellaron Hunters, suppresses Lord Ravagers, brutal omen, and swallows neutron star explosions... Nero!]
[Belobog Savage: Jimi: My god, this resume… can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend! I kneel to the big boss.]
[Pom-Pom: Jimi: I've learned my lesson, please spare me!]
In the live broadcast, Jimi awkwardly cleared his throat and changed the subject:
"Ahem… in the PV just now, quite a lot of new version content was revealed. Diviner, what are your thoughts?"
"Ahem… before coming, I was only worried about Sushang, didn't think much about it. After watching the PV… that Swarm Disaster of the universe looks quite formidable. Perhaps it's based on the period when the progenitor of the swarm caused chaos?" Fu Xuan said.
Dan Heng shook his head. "Herta has upgraded the Simulated Universe again. If the Trailblazer were here, as the previous tester, she could probably provide some professional insights."
"Speaking of that…" Nero's chibi wiped the cream from his mouth and said, "Herta seemed to say last time that she'd call me to join the next Simulated Universe test! I'm already getting excited. Such a big bug, I want to test its strength!"
As Nero's voice fell, Black Cutter also swayed, occasionally letting out pleasant sword hums.
"Black Cutter says that such a big bug would feel great to cut," Nero translated for it, then muttered to himself, "I think so too, but in the Simulated Universe, I probably can't drive a ship to ram people. What a pity, I had a bold idea just now.
"And also, when I was reading materials about the swarm progenitor on the Luofu, it said those bugs can split, right? Like they keep multiplying."
After saying that, Nero looked at Dan Heng for confirmation.
Dan Heng nodded. "That's right."
"Then they're definitely perfect for my factory! My place is short of talents like that!" Nero's chibi's eyes lit up as he said excitedly.
"Ah… ah? Uh haha, indeed, indeed…" Jimi felt a chill run through him, cold sweat forming, but he still nodded along.
After all, Nero's factory had cooperation with the company, and Jimi knew a bit about that place.
He knew that even the most motivated, hardest-working employees in the company would describe that place with fear on their faces as "the working man's endless hell."
