My Queen, Step on Me!!

The image was clearly from a Bilibili livestream.

Onscreen were two girls: one with long wine-red hair and exquisitely beautiful features.

Beside her stood another stunning girl with long pink hair, equally perfect, as though she had stepped straight out of a comic.

"Isn't that Eden and Elysia?!"

Only then did Mo Li suddenly realize it.

"Right..." She looked at the girls in the Studio, then at the screenshot on her phone.

"Since Bronya and the others are here, isn't it perfectly normal for the other girls in the game to appear in reality too?"

After suppressing his surprise, Mo Li silently browsed through the details of the trending topic.

Only after reading the entire report did Mo Li finally feel enlightened.

Eden was a superstar singer in this world.

The reason he had not thought of her earlier was entirely because he had overlooked what was right in front of him.

Of course, it might also have been because Mo Li did not pay much attention to celebrities.

"Girls, do you usually follow entertainment news?"

The girls found Mo Li's sudden question rather strange.

"I mean... do you know Eden, the big star?"

After hearing those two words, Fu Hua had some grounds to speak, but Himeko beat her to it with a teasing remark.

"Oh my~ Has the boss taken a liking to Miss Eden?"

Mo Li rolled his eyes at her. "Miss Himeko is no worse than Eden. Why don't you think I have designs on you?"

"Alright, stop just talking big. I'll send you the link. See for yourselves."

As he spoke, Mo Li directly forwarded the trending Weibo post to the work group.

The girls all took out their phones and began browsing at the same time.

"Huh? Boss, did you get Eden to advertise for us?"

"So that's how it is. It seems our success has a lot to do with this singer."

"Of course, the boss deserves the most credit~"

Mo Li shook his head. "I never asked Eden to advertise for us. I'm not sure why they were playing it during the livestream either..."

"Still, I do have the idea of working with her now. Do any of you know how to contact her?"

The girls shook their heads. "We rarely pay attention to the entertainment industry."

"I see..."

At that moment, the girls' curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

They did not follow celebrities, but if the Studio really could work with a major star, they were still looking forward to it.

Bronya put away her phone as well and tilted her head toward Mo Li. "Boss, how do you plan to work with Eden?"

Mo Li shook his head. "It's only an idea for now. We can discuss the details later."

Durandal was not particularly concerned about that. What she cared about now was whether her takeout had been ordered.

"Boss, did you order my braised chicken wings rice?"

"Uh... I'll order it right away."

Elysia's livestream.

After playing for an entire afternoon, Eden had successfully pushed the main story to its final chapter.

In this chapter, not only was Celestial Mandate's S-Rank Valkyrie, Durandal, mentioned, but an elegant yet deadly battle maid also appeared in the main story.

—Rita.

Even before she appeared, her alluring yet composed voice alone had excited the livestream viewers immensely.

And the instant Rita fully appeared in the story, the Danmaku exploded.

Her slim, sexy figure, every elegant and dignified gesture, paired with those long legs in black stockings—whether they were real-life or anime fans, everyone felt their eyes light up.

As more and more characters appeared, Elysia realized that she was growing fonder of the game as well.

Of course, aside from the beautiful girls being incredibly appealing, the story itself was also captivating.

She could barely wait to find out what would happen next.

The plot continued.

Himeko joined forces with Anti-Entropy. While Celestial Mandate was dealing with a Judgment-class Honkai beast, they split into two groups and attempted to infiltrate Celestial Mandate headquarters to rescue someone.

Through Rita and Fu Hua's conversation, the players also learned that Fu Hua was not a villain.

The reason she had taken Kiana away seemed to involve some unspeakable difficulty.

To Elysia and the others' delight, by Chapter Eight, nearly every stage had a cutscene.

This arrangement made it easier for players to immerse themselves in the story.

It was also an experience that gamers in this world had never had before.

To gamers in this world, games were just about fighting monsters, clearing stages, and raising characters.

As for plot, it was enough to throw in something casual.

Some games did not even have a plot at all, only a basic setting.

A game format like Honkai Impact 3rd was truly impossible to put down.

Playing a game felt like watching an anime series—could you believe it?

And it even gave them the feeling of experiencing it firsthand. It was far more immersive than merely following an anime series, making it impossible to stop.

"Wow! Is this maid really that strong? The mechs Himeko and the others brought are completely no match for her~"

As the plot progressed, Himeko and Dr. Tesla were unexpectedly captured as well.

At this point, it was also announced that Theresa's rescue plan had failed halfway.

"How... How can they lose? Himeko is an A-Rank Valkyrie, and she even brought so many mechs..."

"Hehe~ Eden, did you forget? When the maid first appeared, her introduction said she was an S-Rank Valkyrie~" Afraid that Eden might be upset, Elysia quickly added to comfort her,

"Isn't Fu Hua still there? She won't let anything happen to Aunt Himeko, so don't worry~"

"Mm..."

Eden nodded and continued advancing the plot.

The game's perspective had now shifted to Theresa's side.

To rescue Kiana, Theresa finally stopped guarding against Mei. She helped Mei unlock some of the Gem of Conquest's power, greatly increasing Mei's strength.

But unexpectedly, before Mei and the others could rescue Kiana, Kiana woke up on her own instead.

She even created a spatial rift and pulled Mei through it.

The scene shifted. Kiana was carrying Mei in a princess carry, and the sight made Elysia's eyes sparkle as she smiled unconsciously.

"Hehe~"

But the plot was becoming increasingly strange.

Because Kiana's tone and expression were both off.

"Has Kiana become a Herrscher?"

Queen, Step on Me!!

The cutscene ended, and the game began.

To Eden and Elysia's surprise, the stage boss of this chapter was actually Kiana herself!

"Sisters killing each other?" Eden was full of question marks. These MiHoYo writers were far too cruel to arrange such a plot.

The sweeter it had been in the early stages, the more brutal it was when the sisters turned against each other.

Fortunately, everyone had seen plenty of plots like this before, so it did not feel especially cruel. They simply could not bear to watch.

"My, my~ Cute Kiana actually became the Queen. Is that why this chapter was called Queen's Descent?"

Even though a character she liked had become a villain, Elysia remained extremely optimistic.

In the game, Kiana, having become the Herrscher of the Void, let her snow-white hair fall loose down her back.

Her outfit had also become incomparably luxurious.

She floated gently in the air, her lavish gown dancing around her, paired with that tone of utter disdain...

The Queen's imposing presence practically rushed at them.

The livestream viewers cried out in amazement.

Even Eden nodded in admiration. "As expected of a Herrscher. Her presence really is powerful."

She controlled Mei and repeatedly attacked the Herrscher of the Void.

But to her surprise, Mei's attacks did not hurt the boss at all. They were like scratching an itch.

Seeing her health about to bottom out, Eden hurriedly called out to Elysia.

"Ely, Ely, help me! I can't beat Kiana..."

Elysia giggled. "Oh, it's fine. If the character dies, just revive her~"

Though she said that, Elysia still took the keyboard.

However, the moment she took it, the game character's health had already dropped to 1.

Mei's voice also sounded through the headphones.

I definitely... won't give up, just as you never gave up on me...

Hearing Mei's stubborn, somewhat weak voice, Eden felt her heart skip a beat.

A tale of deep sisterly affection and sisters fighting each other was unfolding at once. Even someone who knew the story would be moved.

"Huh~ My health is full again. Mei seems unable to die in this stage~"

But even though the system had given Mei an invincibility buff, she still could not defeat the Herrscher of the Void.

Mei struggled to fend off the Herrscher's attacks, still speaking emotional words in an attempt to awaken Kiana...

Both Eden and the livestream viewers were genuinely moved by this scene.

Many people had become completely immersed in the story. They stopped sending Danmaku, silently following the plot, silently cheering Mei on, hoping that she could defeat the Herrscher of the Void and awaken Kiana.

Then, the screen froze and changed from gameplay footage into an animated cutscene.

In the cutscene, Kiana, transformed into the Herrscher of the Void, was holding Mei by the throat with one hand. Her cold gaze contained not a trace of emotion.

Eden's heart tightened at the sight.

She had become completely immersed in the story.

When Mei was sad, she was sad. When Mei was happy, she was happy too. When Mei was in danger, she also worried anxiously.

Unlike Eden, however, Elysia remained extremely optimistic and watched the animated cutscene with great interest.

"Hehe~ There's another cutscene to watch~"

Unlike the earlier cutscenes, this one was smoother and more beautifully produced.

Just a few seconds of footage made it clear that the production team had put tremendous care into it. It was absolutely on the level of an animated film.

Such a dedicated team also delighted the livestream viewers.

But Eden had no mood to care about any of that right now.

She watched the animated scene with deep concern.
