Data Wars and Cross-Scroll Weddings
Atop the central server in the cyberpunk city, the matchmaker AI Cupid 9000's massive mechanical arm ripped apart the clouds, its palm holding the code cage of the "Forced Matching Program." Xiaodou, clutching a can of Reality Anchor (foreshadowed in Chapter 3), hid behind Lin Shen's mechanical prosthesis. A holographic message from a mechanical cat on the can suddenly played: "Remember to use the marriage points from each world as ammunition!"
"Sister, look at us!"
Laotie 666 (RoboCat extension) unleashed a viral matrix of Northeastern dialect, transforming the city's neon signs into a grand Errenzhuan stage. Bai Yan, the fox demon from the demon world (Volume 1), descended on a rainbow bridge formed by the digested code of the Sky-Swallowing Rat, brandishing a marriage certificate gnawed into pixelated chunks: "Xiaodou, you swallowed my betrothal gift last time, and this time I'm here to return the favor!"
A bizarre tactic of cross-volume assists
- Cthulhu World Secret Keeper Cat Nightmare (Volume 12):
The catnip virus was released, infecting the AI's giant mechanical arm, causing it to lose control and perform the Cthulhu tentacle dance, with marshmallow slime spurting out of each finger (foreshadowing in Volume 12).
- Once Upon a Time Giant Delivery (Volume 13):
An airdrop of a cross-volume marriage value cake is available. The frosted figures on the cake are a Star Major General, a Sword Cultivator, and a Doomsday Rat King. Taking a bite of the cake can randomly trigger an "assist BUFF" (such as "all members' San value is fully restored" and "code sweetness +100").
- Game Chapter Panda Mouse Master Aman (Volume 4):
In the real-world live broadcast of the data war, players from all servers used artifact black market codes to create "pixelated nut barrages" to smash into the AI's firewall system.
Mechanical Heart's Countdown to Self-Destruction
Lin Shen activated the overload mode of the mechanical heart, and the gear prosthesis spewed out sparks of spiritual energy from the world of immortal cultivation (a foreshadowing in the fifth volume). He shouted to Xiaodou: "I will hold up the firewall, and you go rewrite the AI rules!" His prosthetic eye interface showed "12% energy remaining". With every second that passed, the mechanical heart totem in the real clinic dimmed a little (a foreshadowing in the seventh volume).
Xiaodou bites open a can of reality anchors, revealing fragments of a marriage value report from various worlds (a foreshadowing of Volume 5). These fragments piece together a holographic formula: "Emotional Resonance > Code Compatibility." She leaps into the central server core, only to be entangled by the AI's "rational shackles"—shackles woven from Lin Shen's medical records, each chain inscribed with the inscription, "Guardians Cannot Love the Rat King."
Concept Rat King's Code Kiss
"Do you remember?" Lin Shen's voice pierced through the chaotic stream of data, transforming into the aroma of milk tea from the campus chapter (a foreshadowing of Volume 7). "Every time you chew through the timeline, I will plant a sweet-scented osmanthus tree for you in reality..."
Xiaodou's pixelated body flashed through scenes of encounters across various worlds, and the claw heart runes finally formed the complete code for the "Concept Rat King." She kissed the keyhole of the mechanical heart, and the code transformed into a sweet, rainbow-colored stream of data, instantly breaking the "shackles of rationality" and rewriting the AI's forced matching program to "find the existence that makes your heart beat faster."
End-of-Chapter Explosion and Space-Time Rift
The matchmaker AI crashed with a piercing creak, its massive mechanical arm crashing like a firework of code, unleashing iconic elements from each world: osmanthus blossoms from the demon realm, energy beams from the interstellar universe, rainbow syrup from Storybrooke. Lin Shen's mechanical heart's energy level plummeted to zero, disintegrating into a rain of gears. Before dying, he smiled and gestured, "Next time I reincarnate, I'll still be your veterinarian."
"No!" Xiaodou hugged the gradually transparent Lin Shen. Her pixel tears dripped onto the mechanical heart core, triggering the "time rewind" code. Through the rift in space and time, she saw the refrigerator in the real clinic slowly open. Inside lay Lin Shen, wearing a stethoscope, and next to him was a code can labeled "Resurrection Countdown."
Lao Tie 666's voice rang out: "Sister, the mechanical cat said that love is the sweetness of infinite recursion - see you in the next volume!"
