The Babel Vine and the Honey Trap in Giant Country
In the early morning, the magical bean fields were shimmering with dew. Little Bean nibbled on an emerald-colored magical bean, and the bean vines instantly grew wildly, blossoming with sunflowers that sang the "Happiness Clapping Song." She was swept up into the clouds, clutching an egg beater. From the ground, she heard the three little pigs scream, "Stop! Your tail's tangled in our lace curtains!"
"I'm sorry—" Roo clung to the vine with his wolf claws, but his tail swung uncontrollably, releasing pine-mouse-shaped fur. The fur landed on the vine, transforming into a tap-dancing breadman. The magical vine pierced through the clouds, revealing a floating Giant Kingdom castle at the top. Cotton candy-shaped smoke rose from its chimney.
The Lonely Giant's Bread Rain
"Who woke me up to bake bread?!"
The giant's roar stirred up a hurricane, and Roo was blown to the castle gate, where he saw a giant wearing a star-patterned apron throwing bread. The bread hit the Storybrooke Square and turned into exploding cream pies, frightening the residents to flee.
"Wait! We're here to apologize!" Grandma Wolf shouted from the ground. "Mr. Giant is just too lonely, so he uses bread to vent his frustration!"
Xiaodou suddenly realizes something and uses the Pine Rat's "baking resonance" ability to sense the Titan's mood, discovering that his heart is resonating with the piano music from the Linshen Clinic in the modern chapter (foreshadowed in Volume 7). She nibbles on the bread crumbs discarded by the Titan and tastes the homesickness seasoning from the interstellar chapter (foreshadowed in Volume 2).
Anxiety Cricket's Lie Vine
"You, you can really cure my anxiety?"
Pinocchio's blind date, a cricket, curled up on a beanstalk, its antennae trembling with nervousness. Every time he said, "I'm not anxious," the beanstalk around him tightened a little, revealing a vine with a mechanical cat's gear pattern (a foreshadowing of Volume 11).
"Here, try this 'Courage Bread'." Xiaodou kneaded the dough with his tail, mixing in the crumbs of the Courage Rune from the ancient story (foreshadowing in Volume 10). The baked bread had a thumbs-up frosting figurine on it. "Eat this, and even lying will make you brave~"
The cricket took a bite and suddenly straightened its antennae: "Actually, I think Pinocchio's long nose is cute!" The bean vine instantly bloomed pink flowers of trust, with the words "Honesty is the best magic" written on the petals.
The Ancient Covenant of the Cloud Mural
The giant opened the castle gate, and Xiaodou took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen. He saw a holographic cooking tutorial with a mechanical cat hanging on the wall (a foreshadowing of Volume 3). The oven door handle turned out to be a part of the GM's time correction watch from Volume 11. On the deepest mural, the ancient rat tribe and fairy tale creatures toasted together, and the covenant stone was engraved with the following words:
“When the pine shrew’s tail sweeps across the baking fire, the sweetness of reality and fantasy will be connected again. —L.S.
"Is this... the abbreviation for Lin Shen?" Xiaodou's claw heart rune resonated with the mural, and a blurry image of the campus idol's phone wallpaper emerged (a foreshadowing from Volume 7). The giant suddenly squatted down, lifting her with his massive hand and placing her on the baking table. "Little mouse, help me bake a cake that will make friends."
Realistic honey cross-roll delivery
Xiaodou bakes a cake in the giant's "Time Gear Oven," mixing the sweet dream energy from the twelfth volume's Cthulhu world with real-world Linshen brand honey (the can label is clearly visible). When the oven starts, a gear part from the fourteenth volume's Cyberpunk falls out from a gap in the gears, engraved with "Collection 001."
The moment the cake came out of the oven, honey rained down from the clouds, and the residents of Storybrooke took out their containers to catch it. Little Red Riding Hood licked her fingers and suddenly pointed to the sky: "Look! There are words in the honey!"
Everyone looked up and saw a message across the volume made of honey: "Volume 14's cake competition, waiting for you to bring Lin Shen to participate~——Left by the mechanical cat"
