"The results of it?"
"So, that Bald Qiang actually chose to completely part ways with such a great benefactor, who was like a second parent to him?"
"What...what was his motive?"
His face was filled with deep incomprehension at this behavior, which defied all logic and could be described as "ungrateful."
"……mark."
"Perhaps we were all wrong from the very beginning."
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
"The reason why Mr. Li was willing to invest such a huge and completely disproportionate amount of money in Bald Qiang is..."
"Behind this must lie an even greater price that Bald Qiang must pay with his life, or even with his soul."
"And this 'parting ways' outcome just illustrates that."
"The price was so high that even Bald Qiang, a desperate man who would do anything for profit, could not bear it."
"That's why he chose to use this most decisive method to resist."
Bai Yuekui, standing to the side, looked at the sky with a solemn expression and a sense of "just as I thought."
"...Then...what exactly happened?"
Mark's face was filled with deep curiosity about that unknown "price" that would make Bald Qiang give up everything.
That day, Bald Qiang was in his little wooden house, eating instant noodles while listening to the radio.
[A tempting voice came from the radio: "Breaking news! A large investor is seeking suitable factory land. Excellent returns! Escape poverty and achieve wealth! Those with land and resources are welcome to join us. Contact 580110..."]
[I heard this voice coming from the radio.]
[Bald Qiang's eyes lit up, and he forgot all about the instant noodles in his mouth: "Requisitioning factory land? Then I can make a fortune off this forest! Quick, call! Call!"]
He planned to use this forest in Bear Ridge as land for his factory, hoping to make a fortune that he had always dreamed of.
He quickly dialed the number that would change his life.
【the next day.】
Ten massive, futuristic logging vehicles pulled up in front of Bald Qiang's cramped house.
The investor on the other end of the phone said to him, "Bald Qiang, I've sent you all the best equipment from our company. You need to completely level this mountain within two days, and then I'll give you an even bigger sum of money."
Bald Qiang immediately nodded and bowed, replying, "Okay, okay, boss, don't worry, there won't be any problems."
"I'm rich! I'm rich! If I hand over the trees cut down in this forest to Boss Li, I'll make a fortune. Plus, with the money this new investor is giving me, I'm set for life! Hahaha..."
He sat atop that massive, high-tech logging vehicle, grinning from ear to ear.
[While he was driving his chariot, recklessly cutting down the forest.]
[Bouncy noticed him.]
[And quickly, he reported the news to Xiong Da and Xiong Er.]
Upon learning of this, the two bears immediately rushed to stop them.
But Bald Qiang's logging vehicle this time was simply too powerful; they couldn't stop it at all.
[It only took a short while.]
In the forest, countless trees have been ruthlessly felled.
"Brother Bear said anxiously, 'Big Brother Bear, what should we do? If Bald Qiang keeps chopping like this, the animals in the forest will soon be homeless!'"
[Bouncy said fearfully, "Big Bear, maybe we should move. Bald Qiang is really too powerful this time."]
Xiong Er agreed, "Yes, yes, any later and we might not be able to escape."
But Xiong Da said with a firm gaze, "No. We absolutely cannot abandon the forest. Even if we find another forest, so what? What if it's also cut down? Are we just going to keep running away like this?"
[Bouncy asked, "Then... what should we do?"]
Xiong Da replied, "We must fight to the end. We absolutely cannot let Bald Qiang succeed."
Time quickly passed, and night fell.
The three of them secretly infiltrated the warehouse where Bald Qiang's armored vehicles were parked.
Using his knowledge of mechanics, Xiong Da secretly dismantled several key parts of Bald Qiang's logging vehicle.
Meanwhile, Beng Beng stole a huge gas cylinder from his family's warehouse.
Then, they quietly placed it next to the logging vehicles.
【the next day.】
As usual, Bald Qiang drove his logging vehicle into the forest to cut down trees.
[Bung-Bung pulled out a stink bomb he had prepared beforehand, and the stench forced him to run out of the car.]
Seeing this, Xiong Da and Xiong Er immediately rushed forward.
[And they gave him a thorough beating.]
Bald Qiang quickly fled back to the driver's seat.
[And he resumed driving the chariot, chasing after them.]
Just as Bald Qiang was about to deliver the fatal blow to them...
The massive chainsaw at the front of the tank suddenly fell off.
This is because Xiong Da secretly removed a key part of his vehicle last night.
This logging vehicle was clearly unusable.
Bald Qiang quickly returned home.
He planned to switch to other, spare logging vehicles.
Meanwhile, not far away.
[Bouncy, perched high in a tree, launches a pre-lit toilet plunger with a flame at the tip.]
Then, the toilet plunger struck precisely the leaking gas cylinder next to the logging vehicle, its valve already open.
【"boom."】
The gas cylinder exploded violently in an instant.
[It also destroyed a nearby logging vehicle on the spot.]
The destroyed logging vehicle, like a domino, flew onto another logging vehicle nearby.
And so, the remaining nine logging vehicles were destroyed in a series of devastating explosions.
The World of Eromanga Sensei
"Wow--"
"It's...it's spectacular."
"That...that little squirrel named Bouncy is amazing."
"To think that a... burning, seemingly ordinary toilet plunger could trigger such a massive, domino-like, earth-shattering chain of explosions."
"but……"
"That Bald Qiang is really... so pitiful."
"Those were ten logging vehicles that looked so powerful, so high-tech, and so expensive."
"And then, with a 'boom,' not a single car was left; they were all reduced to a pile of burning scrap metal?"
As Yamada Fairy gazed at the visually stunning final image on the sky, she revealed a look of utter excitement and exhilaration.
They also felt a deep and complex sympathy for Bald Qiang's epic and tragic experiences.
"...cause and effect, retribution."
"He tried to destroy the entire forest and the 'home' of all the animals because of his selfish desire to 'get rich'."
"In the end, his own 'tool', which he regarded as a means to make money, was also completely destroyed by the animals who were protecting their home."

Senju Muramasa, standing to the side, wore an expression that was both fatalistic and self-assured, yet tinged with a hint of reluctance.
"This is a very fair and very 'correct' ending."
"only……"
"Looking at his final, desperate expression, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant..."
"Indeed, they are somewhat... pitiful."
"yes……"
"He finally got a great opportunity that could ensure he would be financially secure for the rest of his life."
"I was happy for a day before the results were even available."
"Once again, those two bears, who seemed to be his nemesis, completely brought him back to his original form."
“It was even more miserable than before.”
"After all, he'll eventually have to pay for those nine tanks that looked quite valuable and were destroyed..."
"From a super-rich man on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of his life, he became someone who, in just one day, not only lost everything but also burdened with enormous debt..."
"pauper."
Izumi Masamune wore a sympathetic expression. He felt that compared to this extremely unlucky Bald Qiang, the male protagonists in his works who were already quite tragic were living in paradise.
.. ..... ...
[The scene shifts.]
[Bald Qiang, carrying a simple backpack, sat forlornly in the back of a truck about to leave the forest. He murmured, "It seems I'll eventually have to leave this place."]
As soon as he finished speaking, he was overcome with painful memories.
"Boss, boss, please, please give me another chance, I...I promise..."
[Bald Qiang, holding the phone, pleaded earnestly with the new investor.]
But the investor coldly replied, "Don't dream about it. It's clearly written in the contract that failure to fulfill the contract will result in compensation for all our losses."
Bald Qiang was dumbfounded: "Compensation for losses? Compensation for what losses?"
Just then, his other phone rang.
[That was a call from Boss Li: "Bald Qiang, where's my wood? Where's the wood you promised me this month?"]
Bald Qiang could only reply evasively, "I'll deliver it tomorrow, I'll deliver it tomorrow."
Meanwhile, the investor on the other end of the phone continued, "Bald Qiang, the penalty for breach of contract is fifty million. You can deliver it tomorrow, right?"
"What? Fifty million? Delivered tomorrow? This...this is impossible!"
Upon hearing this astronomical figure, Bald Qiang was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.
The world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker
"……So this is ah."
"I knew it. How could he so readily choose to leave the forest where he had lived for so many years?"
"It turns out it's because we owe that new investor a huge sum of fifty million."
Bai Yuechu looked at the sky, revealing an expression that seemed to say, "Just as I expected," as if he had seen through the whole truth.
"Fifty million."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"This is no small sum."
"Let alone his, he's a penniless guy who only makes a thousand yuan a month."
"Even for me, to raise that much money in such a short time, I would have to take on several of those most troublesome S-class missions that would make me lose all my hair."
"So, besides running away overnight, he really had no other choice."
