Chapter 243 – Extra – Huaxia Gossip Hour
by Salted Fish1. On the mountaintop of Mount Emei where Polly first met Milk is Mom, the now-solitary Polly was still farming the “Golden Hoop.” If he hadn’t met Milk Mom, where would all the future “Golden Hoops” have ended up?
Polly: “Find him, know him, give them to him.”
Ghost Server Legion Comrades: “…”
Milk Mom: “-v-“
2B: “Damn, I need to jot this down—this ain’t no deputy commander, this is a walking dictionary of sweet nothings!!!”
2. When did Polly realize that City Toppling Beauty was actually Milk is Mom?
Polly: “The first time we met, City Toppling Beauty was PK’ing Deadleaf while asking me, ‘Hubby hubby! Is my kiting sexy~~\(≧▽≦)/~'”
Huaxia Buddies: “Makes sense. Might as well have ‘Ghost Deputy Commander’ tattooed on his forehead.”
Milk Mom: “So annoying~~~ Wait, you knew City Toppling Beauty was me?!”
Polly: “…”
Ghost Server Legion Comrades: “Commander, how the hell did someone with your IQ manage to bag the deputy commander? =_=”
3. Between Little Lucky Charm and Rain Through the Woods, whose “mysterious power” is stronger?
Your Uncle: “I don’t have any world-destroying divine powers, really! Everything was just pure coincidence!”
Rain Through the Woods: “I don’t seek to save the world, only to live peacefully in the present.”
Dutch Chamber of Commerce Comrades: “Keychain, you can’t boost others’ morale while crushing our own!”
[A divine thunderbolt strikes, corpses litter the ground, but Rain Through the Woods remains unscathed.]
4. What exactly is the relationship between Don’t Stop the Meds and No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains?
Boss Yao: “What else could it be? A pure comrade-in-arms relationship.”
Thousand Mountains: “‘Pure’ and ‘comrade-in-arms’ are both questionable ╮(╯_╰)╭”
Boss Yao: “Don’t mislead people!!!”
5. Can Don’t Stop the Meds, No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains, and Mad Lad form a throuple?
Thousand Mountains: “…”
Mad Lad: “…”
Boss Yao: “What the hell does silence mean at a time like this!!!”
6. How many times a year does No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains’ husky yank out the power cord, and what is the psychological trauma area for Thousand Mountains?
Thousand Mountains: “I refuse to answer this question.”
Mountain Pup Lu: “Awoo~~ Awoo~~ Awoo~~ Woof!”
Mad Lad: “Got it, three times.”
Kristina: “Meow meow meow~~”
2B: “My daughter says Mountain Pup Lu meant ‘at least three times or more.'”
Ghost Server Legion Comrades: “Damn, you understand cat language? That’s so cool! [star-eyed]”
Huaxia Buddies: “Shouldn’t the real question be what kind of grown man names his cat something so pretentious?!!”
7. If No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains and Little Lucky Charm PK’ed, who would win?
Thousand Mountains: “I too have thought about this question countless times and attempted to verify it, but each attempt ended in failure. Perhaps fate has decreed that we shall never cross blades ╮(╯_╰)╭”
Your Uncle: “Mhm, either the pup yanked the power cord or the property manager accidentally cut the main power!”
Mountain Pup Lu: “Awoooooo~~~~”
Kristina: “Meow.”
2B: “My daughter says the pup was framed.”
Milk Mom: “So when Thousand Mountains and Polly DC’d during that city gate tower PK, was that intentional too?”
Kristina: “Meow.”
2B: “Nope, only the times after the hot springs meetup when he was scheduled with Your Uncle.”
Thousand Mountains: “…Your cat only meowed once!!!”
8. After showing off his collection photos to Mad Lad, did No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains successfully trade for those limited-edition signed sneakers?
Thousand Mountains: “Who even remembers that?”
Rain Ceases: “You don’t remember? The next day you got up early just to show off your collection and discuss the trade?!”
Mad Lad: “Compared to the joy and soul-stirring discovery of a kindred spirit, a pair of sneakers is nothing.”
X: “Wait!”
X: “Uh, never mind, I won’t ask…”
Scholar Lu: “XX, is it that you don’t want to ask or don’t dare to ask? =_=”
Dutch Souvenir: “What’s the big deal? If you don’t know, just ask. Mad Lad, please explain the specific meaning of ‘kindred spirit.'”
Mad Lad: “This needs explaining? Like meeting a soulmate who understands your rhythm—utter bliss, pure delight.”
Thousand Mountains: “This needs explaining? He admires my collection, I admire his—uncontrollable, mutual appreciation…”
Mad Lad: “Hold up, you admire me, I admire you? Got that backward.”
Thousand Mountains: “Before that, you better explain whose rhythm exactly was being followed.”
Mad Lad: “Damn, wasn’t it you drooling over the gear in my guild warehouse?!”
Thousand Mountains: “Screw you, who was it that begged me to improve the screenshot resolution of my collection?!”
[Mad Lad activates Bloodseal Strike]
[No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains casts Crimson Lotus Holy Fire]
Boss Yao: “‘Kindred spirit’ is such a fragile relationship, huh~~”
Mocha: “Boss Yao, just laugh if you want to, holding it in must be painful.”
9. What exactly is the purpose of Travel Passes? Why has Mad Lad collected 27 of them, yet the system shows no reaction?
Mad Lad: “I called customer service about this. They said Travel Passes are part of a hidden Easter egg event, and the official stance is to avoid revealing details to preserve player experience.”
Thousand Mountains: “And you accepted such a vague answer?”
Mad Lad: “Of course not. I immediately upgraded to VIP status, got transferred to a manager, and lodged a formal complaint about this unreasonable design and rigid customer service system.”
Thousand Mountains: “Good job.”
Huaxia Buddies: “What’s the point of that?!!”
Mad Lad & Thousand Mountains: “Feels good.”
Huaxia Buddies: “…”
Mocha: “Maybe you two should just keep PK’ing. You’re cuter when you’re killing each other behind closed doors.”
ice Iceborn: “@Mad Lad, What was the last Travel Pass?”
Mad Lad: “Scratch-off lottery.”
ice Iceborn: “…Let me rephrase. Where did the last Travel Pass lead to?”
Mad Lad: “Icefire Island.”
ice Iceborn: “Did you go there?”
Mad Lad: “Icefire Island? No. It’s not even marked on the map—who knows where it is? Besides, since I already scratched it, why bother going? Redundant.”
ice Iceborn: “If the devs haven’t changed the event, the NPC triggering the final Travel Pass quest should be at the location of the last pass.”
Mad Lad: “You sure?”
ice Iceborn: “Not certain, but I did receive the quest on the map where my last pass dropped.”
Mad Lad: “What quest?”
ice Iceborn: “Dragon Hunt in the East Sea.”
Milk Mom: “So you’re the one who never completed the Travel Pass quest before deleting your account?!”
Crossplayer: “C-Commander, could you phrase that more delicately…”
ice Iceborn: “It’s fine. Yes, that was me. After a break, I came back and started fresh with this account.”
Silent Hill: “No regrets?”
ice Iceborn: “Why regret?”
Festive Lantern: “Commander, I’ve wanted to ask since joining—some play for fun, some for conquest, some for camaraderie, some for solitude. Everyone has a goal, but I can’t figure out yours. You seem completely desireless.”
ice Iceborn: “This is what I seek.”
Festive Lantern: “What?”
ice Iceborn: “To find out what I seek.”
Festive Lantern: “…”
Huaxia Buddies: “…”
Mad Lad: “So where the hell is Icefire Island???”
10. For Don’t Stop the Meds, which is more despair-inducing: Refined Into a Demon 715’s Purple-Gold Red Gourd, Little Lucky Charm’s endless HP and MP potions, or the demonic Ghost Server power couple (the Ghost Server Legion Leader with an endless playlist and the Ghost Server Deputy Commander who triple-deploys in Flagship)?
Boss Yao: “I’ve endured this much insanity? =_=”
X: “The tallest tree catches the wind.”
Half-Idle: “Too poetic. Basically, show-offs always get slapped.”
Dutch Souvenir: “Mountains remain, rivers flow. To keep striving despite hardships—Commander, I truly admire you.”
Boss Yao: “Good talk.”
Half-Idle: “But the empire still fell.”
Boss Yao: “Great. Kid, you’ve successfully caught my attention. Which branch are you from? I think you deserve a promotion to headquarters…”
Half-Idle: “T-to the main guild?! Life’s surprises come too suddenly ( ⊙ o ⊙ )”
11. How is Everything Breaks doing now?
Breaky: “I’m not sure what this question refers to. I’m doing well—healthy gaming, disciplined routine, legion thriving, comrades united… Why hasn’t Carved in Bone logged in yet?”
Seven Injuries Fist: “Uh, I just got word he had something come up and asked me to… cough, request leave.”
Breaky: “Leave is fine if there’s a reason, no need to hesitate. But I must reiterate—daily meetings are crucial for sustainable legion development. I can elaborate from multiple angles…”
Huaxia Dominion Comrades: “… (Carved in Bone, you better never log back in!!!)”
12. Is March to Liangzhou single?
March: “^_^”
Fist of the Gods: “Former Commander, your silent smirk is really asking for a beating.”
Polly: “^_^”
Fist of the Gods: “See how naturally candid Ghost Deputy’s smile is?”
Milk Mom: “Fist, do you have a crush on Birdy? =_=”
13. Will March to Liangzhou restore the desolate Fairy Dreamland server to its former glory?
March: “Rise or fall unchanged, where I stand, the yellow sands remain.”
Huaxia Buddies: “[confused.jpg]”
Passing Master: “Translation from the new Deputy Commander of Galloping Through the Yellow Sands: A server’s fate isn’t swayed by individual will. As leader, I can only promise that as long as I’m here, Galloping Through the Yellow Sands remains.”
March: “^_^”
Passing Master: “(*^__^*)”
Huaxia Buddies: “…Damn!”
14. What is March to Liangzhou’s real-life profession?
March: “Sorry, that’s classified.”
Milk Mom: “Is it one of those jobs where violating confidentiality lands you in military court?”
March: “…”
Milk Mom: “He didn’t deny it. Comrades, this is as far as I can help →_→”
Huaxia Buddies: “Ghost Legion, we love you!!!”
15. Has the Ghost Server Legion Leader lost weight?
Milk Mom: “Of course! Now when I walk into a crowd, no one can pick me out at a glance!”
Polly: “Except me.”
Milk Mom: “Blush~~”
Ghost Server Legion Comrades: “Commander, shyness doesn’t suit you.”
Milk Mom: “Do you all want mandatory meetings too? →_→”
16. Has anyone—guy or girl—tried to steal the deputy commander from the Ghost Server Legion Leader?
Milk Mom: “Heh, let them try.”
Ghost Server Legion Comrades: “Welp, Commander’s rage just shattered his persona =_=”
Polly: “mwah.”
Milk Mom: “Awoo~~\(≧▽≦)/~”
Ghost Server Legion Comrades: “… (A match made in heaven is just a pair that’s a menace to everyone else.)”
17. What’s Polly’s night record?
[Polly uses Solid as a Rock.]
Milk Mom: “Need I say more?~~ [smug shrug]”
18. Can the Ghost Server couple now happily spend Spring Festival at each other’s homes?
Milk Mom: “Remove ‘happily’ and…”
Polly: “It’s accurate.”
19. How’s the power-leveling studio doing?
Milk Mom: “Great, thriving.”
Old Five: “We’ve expanded into multiple new games, establishing a solid business framework. Peak success is within reach!”
Diamond: “Yeah, we’ve shifted focus away from Huaxia. Honestly, after all this time, we can’t bear to keep profiting off Huaxia buddies…”
War-Bodhi Patriarch: “Don’t think you’re the only ones with this material! Others sell it cheaper!”
Diamond: “Then go buy from them~~~~”
War-Bodhi Patriarch: “I’ll take it TAT”
20. Will No. 4 Coffin Shop join the power-leveling studio?
Milk Mom: “Collaboration isn’t limited to one form. We’ve established stable partnerships, integrating supply chains for seamless operations with Coffy~~”
War-Snow Wolf: “Didn’t you just say you shifted focus to other games?”
Milk Mom: “I never said our partnership was Huaxia-exclusive~~”
Coffin Shop: “Honored our visions align, reuniting in new games. But my focus remains on Huaxia. Also, no nicknames, please =_=”
Flower Matchmaker: “And it might confuse people with our commander.”
Breaky: “…” 1Coffin’s nickname would sound similar to Break’s in Chinese pupup/popo
21. Why does Refined Into a Demon 715 seem compatible with everyone, like a universal adapter?
438: “Gather, capture, gather, capture, gather, capture… Ah, life’s fulfilling~~\(≧▽≦)/~”
Wandering Monk: “We”
Moriarty: “Are”
Silk Road Merchant: “Just”
Fair and Square: “Passing by!!!”
Today’s Demon King: “Damn, give back my Golden Phoenix—”
[No. 4 Coffin Shop uses Netherworld Ghostly Claws + Specters and Ghouls + Hellfire on Today’s Demon King]
22. At the Hot Springs Villa’s Fierce Tiger Pool, who won the “contest” between Festive Lantern and Ray-Ban?
Ray-Ban: “Me, obviously. Ice on Fire declared it on the spot [hands on hips, nose in the air.jpg]”
Festive Lantern: “That was just the first half! Dare to mention the second half?”
Ray-Ban: “Second half? When you got dragged out by security for public indecency?”
Festive Lantern: “Before that! Ice on Fire, can’t you be fair?!”
Ice on Fire: “Uh, though I only glimpsed before you got ejected… sorry Ray-Ban, but post-reveal, he was indeed… more impressive.”
Ray-Ban: “Damn, that’s because I hadn’t even—”
Huaxia Buddies: “… (This Iceborn Legion—icy faces, fiery hearts =_=)”
23. In the Hot Springs Villa’s game room, what carnage unfolded around the mahjong table surrounded by Little Lucky Charm, Rain Through the Woods, Spring Field Blossom, Refined Into a Demon 715, and No. 4 Coffin Shop (spectating)?
Your Uncle: “Carnage? Nah, we had fun! First time I didn’t lose money—so exciting!”
438: “Yep, I kept drawing the tiles I wanted~ They call it beginner’s luck~~\(≧▽≦)/~”
Rain Through the Woods: “A small win, just for fun. The real prize was meeting lovely comrades.”
Spring Field Blossom: “…I refuse to remember.”
[No. 4 Coffin Shop pats Spring Field Blossom consolingly, insisting “carnage” is too gentle a word for that night.]
24. After the Hot Springs Villa meetup, did Little Lucky Charm and Spring Field Blossom stay in touch?
Your Uncle: “Of course! We’re friends. Whenever the Dimensional Rift opens, Blossom visits me at Summit Server!”
Summit Server Comrades: “…[skeptical stares]”
Iron Abacus: “Let me be fair—the first few times, no. Then Little Lucky Charm crossed over to Dragon Soars Tiger Roars to visit him.”
Summit Server Comrades: “And?”
Spring Field Blossom: “And soon after, Dragon Soars Tiger Roars issued a bounty on me—if I don’t visit Little Lucky Charm when the rift opens, they’ll send me to meet…”
Today I Bomb the School: “Sounds convenient, saves walking.”
Spring Field Blossom: “Send me to meet God.”
Today I Bomb the School: “Sorry, I’m just an ignorant bystander TAT”
25. How did Little Lucky Charm and Passing Master meet and bond in Fairy Dreamland?
Your Uncle: “Actually, Passing Sorrow was my second account there. My first was Happy Little Prince, a healer, but no one would party with me except Passing Master. Two healers partying was inefficient, so I gritted my teeth and rerolled Passing Sorrow…”
Passing Master: “In the end, Fairy Dreamland wasn’t your destiny [hug]”
Summit Server Comrades: “Neither is Summit Server, seriously, trust us!!!”
Your Uncle: “Commander TAT”
Milk Mom: “No tears, Commander loves you.”
Ghost Server Legion Comrades: “Hey, those who said Summit Server isn’t—step forward so we can admire your handsome faces~~~~”
[Ghost Server Legion Comrades arm themselves, sharpening blades menacingly]
26. Has Little Lucky Charm found a lifelong partner?
Your Uncle: “Why search? I already have comrades who’d live and die with me! This life, next life, forever—once comrades, always comrades!”
[Ghost Server Legion Comrades sheathe weapons, triggering passive skill—huddling tearfully for warmth]
27. Is there potential between Big H and Nicknamed White Dragon Horse?
Big H: “Huh?”
White Dragon Horse: “What?”
Greatsword: “They’re asking if you two have potential. What terrible hearing.”
Big H & White Dragon Horse: “Come here, let’s discuss life.”
Greatsword: “Uh… actually, I’ve quit Huaxia. See you around!!!”
28. Did Crossplayer’s grudge in Hide-and-Seek Paradise just fade away?
Heart Embraces the Sea: “The commander said when facing Ghost Server folks…”
Waiting for Girlfriend Rock: “Bear with it for peace.”
Phoenix Tree: “Step back for safety.”
Tears of the Gods: “TL;DR—avoid at all costs.”
Seven Emperors: “Though the commander keeps urging me to let go…[I’ll get my revenge someday!!!.jpg]”
Crossplayer: “…I just want to be a low-key pretty boy TAT”
29. What criteria determine Milk is Mom’s playlist selections?
Milk Mom: “Unity, tension, solemnity, liveliness—uplifting and positively energizing~~”
Huaxia Buddies: “Say. That. Again?”
Milk Mom: “Fine, the real standard is sheer insanity TAT”
Huaxia Buddies: “Honesty saves you…”
30. How was Refined Into a Demon 715’s second Purple-Gold Red Gourd used?
438: “Never got to use it. Durability still at three, brand new!”
Milk Mom: “Who asked this? Don’t you know it dredges up painful memories for some?~~~”
King of the Gods: “…”
Boss Yao: “…”
31. Will My Blood for Xuanyuan return to Huaxia?
Milk Mom: “438, your new gourd’s time has come.”

Huaxia Buddies: “[sudden chill down spine.jpg]”
Polly: “[dotingly amused.gif]”
32. How did the ultra-refined Zombie language develop?
March: “Heaven.”
Polly: “Gifted.”
Coffin Shop: “Natural.”
X: “Ah.”
Milk Mom: “I get it! Innate skill! Heaven-gifted! Naturally fluent! Save some lines for me!!!”
X: “[100 thumbs up.jpg]”
33. What’s it like to own a cat?
2B: “Beautiful. She taught me patience, tolerance, and boundless love.”
Thousand Mountains: “Never been bitten?”
2B: “Yes.”
Thousand Mountains: “Not angry?”
2B: “Of course not. If she bites me, I must’ve done something wrong.”
Kristina: “Meow~~ Meow~~”
[Blood Bulls Don’t Graze uses Fish Treat on Kristina]
Ghost Server Legion Comrades: “… (Why does it feel like 2B is the one being domesticated? =_=)”
34. Have Blood Bulls Don’t Graze and 2B Fighter Jet distributed wedding candy?
2B: “Ahem, meant to keep it quiet, but good news travels fast. Yes, I proposed yesterday—on a Ferris wheel [smug smile].”
Drink Your Sister: “Aaaaaah so romantic! Then what, then what? Did Sister Blood Bull say yes immediately?!”
Milk Mom: “Girl, don’t project. Sister Blood Bull wouldn’t lose her cool like that~~~”
2B: “Commander sees all!”
Milk Mom: “So how did Sister Blood Bull actually respond? [gossip eyes.jpg]”
2B: “She said maybe wait until the Ferris wheel’s fixed before proposing.”
Milk Mom: “…”
Ghost Server Legion Comrades: “…”
Drink Your Sister: “Wait, you proposed while on the Ferris wheel?”
Blood Bull: “Yep, right at the top. Then it malfunctioned and got stuck.”
Drink Your Sister: “…”
Blood Bull: “The night wind was strong.”
Drink Your Sister: “…”
Blood Bull: “The carriage swayed violently, like it might plummet any second.”
Drink Your Sister: “…”
Blood Bull: “His proposal was: ‘Holding my wife, I could die content.'”
Drink Your Sister: “Drink!!!”
Drink Till You Drop: “Noted in ‘100 Absolutely Useless Proposal Methods.'”
Huaxia Single Comrades: “How does this guy get girls? Is there no justice?!!!”
35. Did Brother Eastwind ultimately join any legion?
Brother Eastwind: “Used to flying solo. Legion activities aren’t my style.”
Silent Hill: “Really won’t reconsider?”
Brother Eastwind: “Especially not ones requiring original ghost stories for entry!!!”
36. Is Festive Lantern’s real-life appearance as handsome as his in-game avatar?
Festive Lantern: “A gentleman like jade, peerless in the world.”
Ray-Ban: “Though I hate to admit it, this guy is indeed a good-looking single-eyelid dude.”
Festive Lantern: “Could you be any cruder? =_=”
37. Does War Banner’s Sister Liuli like War-Black Gold or War-Snow Wolf?
Sister Liuli: “Black Gold.”
War-Black Gold: “…”
War-Snow Wolf: “…”
War-Six Souls: “Could you at least pretend to be coy for one second? =_=”
38. Will the Anti-Romance Alliance return to the game?
Hu Yifei12138: “After a year adjusting to work, most comrades now balance jobs and leisure effortlessly. We’re returning soon—Huaxia buddies, tremble [blowing kiss]~~~~~~~”
Milk Mom: “Huh? Do I smell ‘kindred spirits’ in the air?”
39. Do Huaxia buddies still hang out often after quitting the game?
Big H: “Of course we hang out, but who said anything about quitting?”
White Dragon Horse: “Huaxia’s getting an upgrade next year—can’t wait!”
Kill All Who Block Me: “Commander, we’re in a guild war…”
Drink Till You Drop: “Mount Tai, no need to rescue Whitey. He and their commander can chat while respawning.”
40. Finally, what would you say to those hesitating to join the Huaxia family?
Huaxia Buddies: “Huaxia brothers, eternal bonds.”
Huaxia Buddies: “But if you see a string of tildes, better steer clear…”
Milk Mom: “Who asked for the ‘but’?!!”
