So, what kind of psycho is this guy?
He actually sees me, with my slender waist and voluptuous curves, as a little girl?
And he even dared to pat my head…
"Sister Bronya, are you and Boss Mo Li that close?" Hu Tao, who had been watching everything from the side, curiously tugged at Bronya's sleeve.
At this moment, Bronya finally snapped back to reality.
She quickly suppressed the shame and indignation in her heart, cleared her throat, and said, "Cough… Don't misunderstand, we're not like that."
"As for his behavior just now… just think of him as a psycho."
Hu Tao: "?"
"Still don't get it?" Bronya stared quietly at Hu Tao, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop rapidly.
"Hee hee~ I get it~ I won't tell anyone~"
After walking out of the studio, Mo Li realized how rude his actions had been.
"Damn… I've definitely made her hate me now…"
He felt an urge to cover his face.
He couldn't help it; every time he saw Bronya's expressionless face, he was reminded of Big Duck's very unique emoticons from the game Honkai Impact 3rd…
Coupled with his impression of her as a child… she was just too cute, and when the mood struck him, he couldn't resist the urge to pat her head.
"Sigh~ Forget it, it's not like I haven't been called a pervert before."
"I'm a pervert to begin with."
In his frustration, Mo Li just gave up.
At worst, he'd get beaten up next time to vent his anger.
She's a beautiful girl, what's wrong with being stepped on a bit? In the eyes of others, it might even be a good thing.
Some people might even get more excited.
"Mhm, this is a perk…"
Meanwhile, online, discussions about Honkai Impact 3rd remained incredibly heated.
People were discussing the plot, the characters, MiHoYo, and basically, all topics in the gaming community were completely drowned out by Honkai Impact 3rd.
As netizens shared their experiences, MiHoYo released a new video on bilibili and Douyin.
#Honkai Impact 3rd Version 1.2 Preview, New S-Rank Characters "Herrscher of the Void" and "Vermilion Knight: Eclipse"#
Herrscher of the Void?
Queen is coming to the gacha pool!?
And Himeko's S-rank battlesuit, Vermilion Knight: Eclipse!
New story! New characters!
The video, just a few minutes long, excited all Honkai Impact 3rd players.
They clearly remembered the shock they felt three days ago during "Queen's Descent."
Such a terrifying character is actually coming to the gacha pool!! This is too awesome.
Players called MiHoYo amazing.
However, they didn't know that version 1.2 wouldn't bring them a celebration, but heartbreak…

Chapter 25: Journey to Tomorrow…
[OMG OMG OMG!! Queen is in the gacha pool!]
[Suddenly, my Lightning Empress feels less appealing…]
[Dude, I remember the beginner tutorial warned that Lightning Empress is a permanent pool character and not recommended to pull…]
[I saw it, but I couldn't resist.]
[Although Queen is indeed strong, I choose Aunt Himeko~ This battlesuit is really too cool.]
[I disagree, the guy above hasn't seen Queen's finger snap, right? That crisp snapping sound really gets me.]
[As expected of you, MiHoYo… both new S-rank characters perfectly hit my XP, you're trying to drain all my blood…]
The video preview not only introduced the event gameplay for version 1.2.
It also introduced the Herrscher of the Void's skills, weapons, and Stigmata.
It also displayed information about Himeko's S-rank battlesuit.
Whether it was their appearance or their strength, both characters were absolutely dominant in the current version.
Coupled with the story's portrayal of these two characters, players simply couldn't resist such temptation.
New characters, new story, new gameplay – these three keywords alone have kept Honkai Impact 3rd's popularity at a terrifying level.
And so, amidst the anticipation of numerous players, Honkai Impact 3rd's version 1.2 finally received its update.
"Hi~ We meet again~ Aren't you surprised?"
"It's a shame I can't give you all a warm hug~ Hee hee~"
"Guess what I'll be streaming today?"
"Oh my~ You guessed it right away~ As expected, the update for Honkai Impact 3rd's version 1.2 is no longer a secret today~"
"But you'll never guess... Eden will be with me too~"
To the surprise of netizens, Elysia was streaming again after half a month!
Considering she usually didn't even stream once a month.
But the surprise didn't stop there.
After Elysia's opening remarks, the camera panned to Eden beside her.
[OMG... Eden!!]
[Elysia's opening remarks are as playful as ever! This woman... I love her so much~~]
My youth is complete, Elysia is actually streaming once every half a month, boohoo~
[My favorite celebrity also likes my favorite game!! Double fandom joy!]
[My favorite celebrity also likes my favorite streamer! Double fandom joy!]
[My favorite man also likes my favorite streamer! Gay joy!]
[It seems like something strange has mixed in upstairs...]
[What kind of day is it today? Honkai Impact 3rd's new version just launched, Elysia is streaming again, Eden appeared... All the good things are happening at once!!]
Seeing the number of viewers skyrocketing in the live stream, Eden cast a helpless glance at Elysia.
Ever since she played Honkai Impact 3rd with Elysia last time, Eden had gained inspiration for new songs, which significantly improved her mood.
When she told Elysia about this, the latter became so excited that she wanted to keep playing with her.
Fortunately, Honkai Impact 3rd had just launched its open beta, so there wasn't much content yet.
Otherwise, she might have truly become an internet-addicted girl.
But Eden had to admit, the game was really fun, completely different from the games on the market before.
In the past half month, she had also visited MiHoYo's official website to thoroughly understand the game. In the end, she found that besides the exquisite game graphics, cute girls, and interesting story.
It also had a vast worldview.
At that moment, she wondered why the development team didn't make it into an anime if it had such a complete story.
However, her idea was immediately met with astonishment at Honkai Impact 3rd's terrifying profit figures.
Although she acknowledged that most of it was due to her own contributions, she also understood that this was still just the initial stage of the game.
She could imagine how much the game's profits would skyrocket once the Herrscher of the Void was added to the gacha pool.
Therefore, she was quite curious about the boss of MiHoYo now.
No subscription fees, free-to-play... yet with terrifying profit margins.
That was a clever strategy.
Originally, she had planned to quietly accompany Elysia playing the game today. But unfortunately, Elysia said that playing the new version with many friends would be more interesting.
Eden knew that Elysia wanted to make her happy.
So, she could only indulge her.
"Eden, Eden, which character should we draw first?"
"How about drawing the Queen first? Hee hee~ Just kidding, of course, we should draw Aunt Himeko, who Eden likes~"
Eden smiled, pursing her lips, "Then which character does Elysia like?"
"As long as it's a beautiful girl, I like them all~" After a pause, Elysia hugged Eden and chuckled, "Of course, my favorite is Eden~"
[They're already so flirtatious right after starting the stream... but I love it~]
[Every time I watch Eden and Elysia, I can't help but smile like an old aunt...]
[This pair is just too sweet, sob sob sob~]
When the game loaded, a short video greeted them.
The short film showed some plot snippets following Chapter 8's main story, and most of it surprisingly featured Himeko.
Seeing Himeko in her cool battlesuit, coupled with the stirring soundtrack... even Eden felt a surge of excitement.
"Elysia, why don't we push through the main story first?" Eden was now impatient, eager to see what happened next.
"Hee hee~ I'll do whatever my little angel Eden wants~"
After the video finished playing, Elysia directly clicked on the main story chapters.
[Chapter 9: Journey to Tomorrow]
"Wow~ there are so many stages in this chapter~"
"Kiana, the beautiful Elysia is coming to save you along with Eden~"
Elysia cheerfully narrated to herself as she clicked on the first stage of Chapter 9.
To their surprise, they couldn't choose their own characters and could only use the trial characters provided by the system.
"Isn't this Himeko's S-rank battlesuit? It's pretty great that we can try it out directly in the main story."
Eden also nodded with a smile, "The development team really put thought into this. This way, players who don't want to spend money can also experience the strength of this battlesuit."
The game quickly finished loading.
The opening was pitch black, with narration explaining that after the Queen's Descent, the world plunged into the Great Honkai.
Immediately after, the screen cut, and urgent music filled their headphones. The voices of Tesla and Himeko also began to sound.
Tesla: "Spatial curvature fluctuations are abnormal. I've never seen such a high Honkai concentration."
"What the heck! Even for a Herrscher, this is too much cheating!!"
Himeko: "I'll keep the enemies busy. Prioritize ensuring the safety of the wounded. Can the Hyperion still be activated?"
Tesla's voice was extremely urgent, as if she had completely lost her composure. "Left-wing armor detached, the power core took a direct hit, and the shock absorption system is also damaged..."
