Before Eden could ask, Himeko waved her hand. "I don't know either. The boss only said I still have scenes later on... As for whether I'm actually dead, I have no idea."
Eden nodded slightly. "If she still has scenes, then she should be fine..."
Although Eden already had an answer in her heart as to whether Himeko was dead,
now that she had seen Himeko herself, she was completely relieved.
Still, she was curious. Now that she had personally come to MiHoYo Studio, she could not help wanting to ask about what came next.
"Actually, we're only responsible for voice acting, operations, and event design. For the specifics, Miss Eden should speak with our boss."
Eden nodded. "Then, may I ask where your boss is now?"
Rita slowly rose to her feet, her posture elegant and impeccable.
She made a gentle inviting gesture. "Miss Eden, please come with me. The boss happens to be guiding Bronya through a song recording in the studio~"
"As a musician, I imagine you would be interested in that as well~"
Upon hearing this, Eden's eyes immediately lit up.
"Won't we disturb them?"
"Not at all. The boss has a wonderful personality. Even if she gets angry, she would never blame a beautiful girl like Eden~"
Eden brushed back the stray strands of hair at her forehead and chuckled. "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Rita~"
Just then, Elysia skipped over as well. "Are you going to see that Boss Mo Li~"
"Can you bring me along too? Hehe~"
"Of course~ Please follow me, you two~" Rita walked ahead with elegant steps.
Eden and Elysia followed closely behind.
Hu Tao rolled her eyes and followed along with a grin as well.
"Mei, let's go take a look too." Kiana's interest was piqued, and she grabbed Mei before chasing after them toward the recording studio.
At that moment, inside the recording studio, Mo Li was adjusting Bronya's audio.
"Bronya, one more time. Try to keep your voice steady this time and get it done in one take!" Mo Li gave Bronya, who was inside the booth, an encouraging look.
"Easy for you to say... Voice acting is one thing, but singing in my childhood voice isn't that simple..." After saying that, Bronya muttered quietly, "It's not like I'm singing a nursery rhyme..."
Though she said it quietly, she was facing the microphone, so her complaint was immediately transmitted outside.
"Pfft..." Mo Li could not help laughing.
"Angel Rebuild"...
had once been called a nursery rhyme on Earth.
Naturally, that was because of the singer's adorably silly and childish voice.
Now that Bronya herself was singing it, it felt even more like a nursery rhyme.
That was right. What Mo Li and Bronya were recording was the theme song for the "Angel Rebuild" animated short.
"Cyberangel," also known in Chinese as "Angel Rebuild."
In this short, there were cute girls, motorcycles, mechs, transformations, drills, cannons, lasers, missiles, monsters...
It truly gathered every bit of a man's romance.
Although, among Earth's players, this short had received somewhat worse reviews than "Queen's Descent" and "The Last Lesson."
It did not have the sheer shock of seeing "Queen's Descent" for the first time,
nor did it have the powerful emotional resonance Himeko's sacrifice gave players.
But that did not mean it was not an excellent short.
It was simply a different theme, so naturally it would not give players as much shock or emotional resonance.
It was precisely because it lacked those two things that "Angel Rebuild" seemed less outstanding.
But honestly, whether it was the continuity of its storyboards, the use of special effects, its transitions, or its long takes, "Angel Rebuild" was far more mature than the previous two shorts.
An animated production on the level of "Angel Rebuild" would absolutely be considered world-class in this world.
It could even compete with some animated films from Sakura.
Mo Li could imagine that once "Angel Rebuild" was released, players would definitely cry out, "MiHoYo, go make anime! The rise of domestic animation depends on you!"
Mo Li shook off his wild thoughts and gave Bronya an OK gesture.
Immediately afterward, heavy bass mixed with fervent electronic sounds began to play.
Eden's group happened to arrive outside the recording studio at that moment.
Hearing the striking musical intro, Eden subconsciously raised her brows and stopped walking.
Seeing this, Rita stood beside Eden with a faint smile and graceful bearing.
Corrupt binary codes infecting my mind
Chaotic code corrodes my consciousness.
Perform invocation with numbing freeze.
Numb and cold, I execute the invocation.
When Bronya's silly, childish voice rang out, Rita immediately broke.
"Pfft..."
Eden was also slightly stunned before seeming to realize something.
"Judging from the lyrics and this style... this should be Bronya's exclusive song, right?"
Rita shook her head. "I'm not sure either, but it is quite a nice song."
Elysia immediately chimed in. "Yes, yes! I can't even stop my leg from bouncing along with the rhythm~ Hehe~"
Though my wings've been bloodstained and could never rid.
Even though my wings have long been stained with blood that cannot be washed away.
I'll try hard to soar to the heaven I dreamed.
For the other shore in my dreams, I will soar with all my strength.
Bronya continued singing, while Eden grew more and more astonished the longer she listened.
This musical style was truly unique.
Although the singer's technique was somewhat lacking, it happened to suit this style perfectly.
Not to mention that it was merely the theme song of a short film—even released on its own, it would still be an excellent song.
Its popularity would definitely not fall below that of "The Last Lesson."
And now, with all these tailor-made elements added in... the person who wrote this song was clearly no ordinary talent!
At that thought, Eden's gaze involuntarily shifted toward Mo Li, who was inside the recording studio.
Did he really write all these songs?
Will every major version have its own theme song?
If that's really the case, perhaps I could ask him for help with my new album...
As Eden pondered, the song quickly came to an end.
Mo Li had actually noticed Rita and the others long ago.
Now that the recording was over, he gave Bronya an OK gesture and walked out first.
Seeing this, Bronya, who was still inside the recording studio, finally let out a sigh of relief and quickly came outside as well.
"Miss Eden~ I've heard so much about you."
Eden smiled and nodded. "I'm curious, were the music for 'Queen's Descent' and 'The Last Lesson' both composed by you?"
Mo Li: "..."
"I suppose... so..."
To be honest, whenever he encountered questions like this, Mo Li felt uncomfortable all over.
If he admitted it... it would seem a little shameless.
But if he denied it... he could not exactly say that the system had given them to him.
Thus, he could only give an ambiguous answer before quickly changing the subject.
"Please don't laugh at me, Miss Eden."
Eden shook her head. "Honestly, it would be a waste for someone at your level not to become a musician."
"Hehe... Rita and the others have also been urging me to work in animation."
"One can only say that excellent people will succeed at whatever they do."
"I can't compare to Miss Eden's achievements." Mo Li waved his hand somewhat awkwardly. "Let's not stand around here. We should go talk in the reception room."
Just then, Bronya's somewhat emotionless voice came over. "Boss, let me listen to the finished version."
"It's on my computer. Go check it yourself~"
Suddenly, Elysia cried out, "I remember now!"
"The Bronya in the game should have been modeled after this young lady, right?"
Elysia's eyes gleamed as she bounced over to Bronya's side. "Wow, you were so cute as a child, but you somehow became even prettier after growing up~"
Bronya: "..."
Seeing this, Eden hurriedly gave Bronya an apologetic look.
"Ely, stop fooling around..."
"Hehe~ I just wanted to say hello to a pretty girl~" After saying that, Elysia waved at Mo Li. "Hello, Boss Mo Li. My name is Elysia~"
"Elysia..." Mo Li smiled and nodded. "I'm very familiar with you..."
After all, in the game, Elysia had been Mo Li's greatest regret.
Such an adorable, lively girl... Sob... my Elysia...
"Huh? Has little brother Mo Li watched my streams too~ Were you captivated by cute little me~"
Good lord, they had only exchanged a few words and she was already calling him little brother. She truly was a social terrorizer.
Mo Li raised his brow. "Elysia is beautiful too, but the girls in our Studio are no less lovely than you."
"Is that so~" Elysia tapped her chin with a jade-like finger, then suddenly changed the subject. "Then would you consider using my model to create a Valkyrie in the game~"
"If that won't work, giving me the identity of a 'goddess' would be fine too~"
"After all, I'm already a cute 'girl,' and I possess wisdom and beauty like a 'god'~ Wouldn't the identity of a 'goddess' suit me perfectly~"
"Tch, so narcissistic." Kiana quietly complained into Mei's ear.
"Kiana... You shouldn't speak badly about people behind their backs."
Kiana stuck out her tongue and grinned. "Got it~ I'll listen to Mei~"
Rita covered her mouth and smiled as well. She was becoming more and more interested in this lively, adorable girl.
As they spoke, everyone had already arrived at the reception room.
"Miss Eden, Miss Elysia, please have a seat."
"As for Elysia's suggestion, if you are interested, then I would naturally be more than happy to cooperate."
He was joking. Even if Elysia had not brought it up, Mo Li would have sought her out for a collaboration.
