Final BOSS Battle: Cuteness Saves the World
The dome of the GM's laboratory cracked open, and the shadowy figure of Mechanical Tapir 3.0 stepped out from the data stream. Its body was formed from the players' negative emotions, and every step it took left a tar-like black mark on the ground. Its head was the GM's face—a twisted grin revealed fangs made of gears.
"Concept Rat," the GM's voice mingled with the players' cries, "your sweetness is vulnerable to absolute darkness!"
Ling Yuan's greatsword pierced the tapir's shoulder, but it seemed stuck in a quagmire, unable to be pulled out. Black mist spread along the sword, condensing on his arm into the words "anxiety" and "exhaustion." Bai Yan's fox fire barely illuminated half the area before it was swallowed by the mist, reduced to a faint spark. "Oh no... It's consuming all positive emotions!"
"Negative energy composition detected: 90% is 'tired from work,' 7% is 'stockpiled goods were snatched away,' and 3% is 'Panda Mouse didn't update today.'" Lin Shen's data stream was dyed gray. "Wait, the last one has increased abnormally—"
Xiaodou suddenly remembered the mechanical cat's words and pulled the "Hope Marshmallow" the GM had given her from her backpack. She sat on the tapir's head and used her paws to swat away the tentacles that tried to wrap around her. Her paws dug tiny pits into the marshmallow's surface. "Sweetness conquers everything... including rules!"
"Ding—triggering the hidden skill [Sweet Enlightenment]!"
Amidst the system notifications, the sound of Xiaodou gnawing on the candy spread across the server via livestream. Players stared at the black and white fur on the screen, stubbornly munching on candy. Suddenly, someone rushed toward the battlefield, holding up a virtual osmanthus cake: "We can't let Xiaodou fight alone!"
First, a nurse player threw out healing honey cookies, then the warriors began hurling crit potions wrapped in candy wrappers, and the mages' fireballs turned into exploding popping candies. When the tapir's tentacles wrapped around Xiaodou, millions of players simultaneously posted on the public screen:
#Don't be afraid panda rats, the mothers are here#
#Drown this data pervert with sweetness! #
The most outrageous thing is that a life player actually baked rainbow macarons with the "bitter grass" he collected: "If you stir up negative emotions, maybe they can become sweet!"
The mechanical tapir's body gradually turned pink, its abdomen swelling like an inflatable ball. The GM in the monitoring room frantically typed on the keyboard: "Who gave you permission to lick the boss like a milk tea cup?! This is a boss battle! Fight!"
But no one heard his roar. The moment Xiaodou gnawed through the marshmallow, the players' offerings transformed into a giant donut, trapping the tapir in the center. Ling Yuan seized the opportunity and slashed its forehead with his honey-covered giant sword, revealing the GM's avatar curled up inside—trembling and cradling a panda doll.
"Why..." The GM's voice was filled with tears, "Why don't you follow the dungeon script?"
Xiaodou tilted his head and nibbled on his virtual ear, and the gear debris turned into shiny coins: "Because we have--"
All players shouted:
The mysterious power of panda rat!
After the battle, the GM announced that the game would be shut down permanently, but before shutting down, he recharged Xiaodou's account with 1 billion gold coins, and wrote a message full of garbled characters: Please give me peripherals, please give me a collaboration, please give me a head-patting video, please give me the same pajamas as Panda Mouse, please—
A prompt popped up in the holographic cabin in the real world. Xiaodou looked at the "GM's Confession Gift Pack" that suddenly appeared in his backpack. It contained:
- Mechanical Panda Repair Manual (with cat petting guide)
- The chewed Heavenly Scepter (can be used as a teething stick)
- A crumpled leave application: Due to my addiction to sucking rats, I am applying to resign from the position of Heaven's Messenger. I hope you will approve it.
The three soul personalities of Bai Shenyuan looked helplessly at Xiaodou, who was holding the scepter and gnawing on it with bulging cheeks. Ling Yuan suddenly pointed to the live broadcast replay - at the moment when the tapir collapsed, the scene of Storybrooke flashed in the background data stream: a girl in a puffy skirt was making absinthe with a mechanical claw, and the hem of her skirt was embroidered with the same sweet runes as those in the GM laboratory.
"Next stop, Storybrooke." Lin Shen pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the fragments of time and space in Xiaodou's paws. "But before that..."
Bai Yan chuckled and took out a panda sweatshirt with "GM is a big fool" printed on it from the gift bag and put it on Xiaodou: "Let someone taste the feeling of being bitten first~"
