"Snow Wind's auspicious aura is indeed a very magical aura, or rather, an aura with a certain level of intelligence. This aura can identify people or things that intend to harm Snow Wind and then transfer all their actions back onto themselves."
"From a certain perspective, the auspicious aura can be considered a powerful ability to reverse cause and effect. The intention to harm Snow Wind is the cause, and the harm to Snow Wind is the effect. The auspicious aura can completely reverse this effect, returning the harm through all defenses and items directly back to the source."
"Once I understood this, I knew how to deal with Snow Wind's auspicious aura. The answer is a bit convoluted: I need to maintain the intention to harm Snow Wind while harming myself!"
"Because I intend to harm Snow Wind, the auspicious aura detects my intention and begins to reverse cause and effect. Then, I stab myself, but at this point, the cause and effect have already been reversed. The attack that was supposed to harm me will be redirected to another target, which is Snow Wind!"
"However, the core rule of the auspicious aura is to ensure that Snow Wind does not suffer any harm. This directly leads to a conflict between the actual result and the core rule, putting the auspicious aura into a highly contradictory state, similar to a computer's main program encountering a logical error. Thus, Snow Wind's auspicious aura simply crashes."
"The process of the auspicious aura crashing sounds long, but in reality, it takes less than a millionth of a second to disappear. The Clear Poverty Sword was not blocked and successfully harmed Snow Wind."
Guhán, whose bleeding had been stopped, leaned against Dangnian Mingyue and explained in detail how to break through Snow Wind's auspicious aura.
Guhán tried to make his explanation as simple and understandable as possible, but unfortunately, Anning and Song Hama, with their limited intelligence, still found it confusing. Only Dangnian Mingyue fell into deep thought, clearly grasping the meaning of Guhán's words.
"Can it be understood this way?" Dangnian Mingyue tried to summarize her thoughts. "Maintaining the intention to harm Snow Wind while harming Snow Wind only harms oneself. But maintaining the intention to harm Snow Wind while harming oneself can actually harm Snow Wind!"
"Some of the logical details are still a bit off, but overall, that's the idea!" Guhán nodded in agreement.
"So, Suabing, you just stabbed yourself in the stomach and then, like a skewer, accidentally skewered Snow Wind on your sword?" After hearing Dangnian Mingyue's explanation, Song Hama finally understood a bit, but she said it with a hint of annoyance.
"There's no other way to harm Snow Wind," Guhán smiled at Song Hama's dissatisfaction. "It's not a big deal; this is a game, and you can resurrect after dying, let alone a small puncture wound."
"Don't talk to me about the game. If it were real, you would still do it without hesitation, right!" Song Hama stood up angrily and kicked Guhán. "You crazy person... You'll eventually die by your own hand!"
"Better to die by my own hand than by Yuan Kui's!" Guhán muttered to himself.

"Shipgirl Snow Wind surrenders to Mr. Admiral!" After a short rest, both Guhán and Snow Wind's health bars had almost fully recovered, and the wounds on their stomachs had completely healed. However, Snow Wind, being an honest and good child, immediately surrendered to Guhán, becoming his captive.
"System Notice: Shipgirl Snow Wind has surrendered and is in an invincible state. No attacks can be made on Shipgirl Snow Wind."
"Here is my dimensional treasure box, please take it, Mr. Admiral!" Snow Wind respectfully handed her dimensional treasure box to Guhán, who then passed it to Dangnian Mingyue.
"You open it... Remember to distribute it according to the agreement."
"Understood!" Dangnian Mingyue did not hesitate and quickly opened the dimensional treasure box, pulling out the first reward: a stack of red bills.
"1, 2, 3, 4..." Dangnian Mingyue skillfully rolled the bills and quickly counted them. "A total of 100 bills, 10,000 RMB. According to the agreement, this 10,000 RMB is mine, right? Classmate Admiral?"
"Of course!" Guhán waved his hand, and Dangnian Mingyue quickly put the stack of bills into her dimensional pocket. Although 10,000 RMB was not much to the wealthy Dangnian Mingyue, it was still her first gain in the mission... and the first three gains had all gone to Guhán.
"What is this? An oral liquid?" The second item Dangnian Mingyue pulled out was a small bottle of green oral liquid with no label. In her years of gaming, she had never seen this before.
"This should be a Sword Essence Oral Liquid!" Seeing this, Guhán also tried to recall and found a record of this oral liquid on a forum post.
"This is the Sword Essence Oral Liquid that can only be obtained during the Eight Cities Sword Duel event!" Dangnian Mingyue held it with delight. "I've never seen it before. I didn't expect it to drop in the raid dungeon. Hey, Admiral, can you let me keep this oral liquid?"
"Sure!" Guhán thought for a moment. "You can exchange it for five times the Sword Essence Pills." Guhán was a pragmatist. Although the Sword Essence Oral Liquid was very rare, five times the Sword Essence Pills were not much in comparison.
"Tch, miser, who would exchange with you!" Dangnian Mingyue stomped her foot, very dissatisfied with Guhán's lack of appreciation. "Anyway, the Eight Cities Sword Duel is starting next month. I can easily get a dozen... Here, take it!"
Dangnian Mingyue turned her head and handed the Sword Essence Oral Liquid to Guhán, hoping he would feel grateful and offer it to her. The next second, Dangnian Mingyue's hand was empty, and Guhán had already taken the oral liquid and drank it on the spot.
"Spit, ungrateful, I even gave him a scabbard, and now I won't give him anything else..." Dangnian Mingyue grumbled as she pulled out the next item from the dimensional treasure box.
"What is this? A fruit knife? When did the game add knives?" Dangnian Mingyue pulled out a small, emerald-green knife, seemingly made of jade.
"This is the Cut Green Silk!!" Guhán took a sharp breath. This woman's luck was truly unbelievable, to open a Cut Green Silk.
"What? You mean this is the Cut Green Silk!!" Dangnian Mingyue was stunned, staring at the small knife in her hand, unable to believe that she had obtained the legendary Cut Green Silk... If she posted it on the forum, the entire game would be in an uproar, and countless big players would beg for it.
"Suabing, what is the Cut Green Silk? Why are Big Sister and Anning so shocked!!" Song Hama, who had only recently entered the game and knew little, asked Guhán.
"The Cut Green Silk is a one-time-use item that can sever the bond between the sword wielder and the shipgirl, perfectly cutting the sword mark from the sword wielder's body without harming the sword wielder's Purple Mansion. In other words, it can completely sever all ties between the sword wielder and the shipgirl, restoring the sword wielder to a state of no synchronization with any shipgirl!"
"It sounds powerful..." Song Hama scratched her head. "But isn't losing a shipgirl a terrible thing? What's there to be happy about? Big Sister looks like she found a treasure."
"The shipgirl is indeed lost, but the accumulated base sword essence remains in the body, unchanged. This body can still synchronize with new shipgirls!!! With new, top-tier shipgirls!!!"
"If Big Sister Dangnian Mingyue used the Cut Green Silk now, she would lose one Ancient Sword, one Treasure Sword, and one Famous Sword. However, her sword essence value is still 20,000 points, so she could synchronize with three Famous Swords... three Famous Swords..."
"If Big Sister is patient enough and waits until the Spirit Sword and Immortal Sword stages before using the Cut Green Silk... " Guhán's words were filled with deep envy. Dangnian Mingyue had actually opened such an item.
