Senba Academy.
As one of the top high schools in the Far East, neither its teaching facilities nor its educational quality could be questioned.
However, today, Ye Li noticed that his homeroom teacher, Murata Himeko, who had been rated an "Outstanding Teacher" by the education sector for years, seemed somewhat out of sorts.
Not only did she yawn endlessly during class, but she also made several verbal slips while teaching.
Looking at the dark circles that even her beautiful appearance could not conceal, Ye Li could not help but sigh. "Teaching and nurturing students isn't easy!"
Then Ye Li's attention was drawn to a certain Kiana in front of him, sleeping soundly.
"Did this girl stay up all night gaming again yesterday? Or perhaps..."
After comforting himself several times, Ye Li turned his gaze toward the first two rows of the classroom, only to be utterly shocked.
"Why does Mei look like she didn't sleep well either? What exactly did those two do last night?"
Lunchtime, the school cafeteria.
As soon as the dismissal bell rang, countless students flooded in, and Ye Li was naturally among them.
After buying his favorite tomato and scrambled egg dish along with a bowl of rice, Ye Li casually found a corner and sat down.
However, despite the mouthwatering tomatoes and eggs on his tray, Ye Li had no appetite at all.
Because he discovered...
All around him, and even throughout the entire cafeteria, nearly every student was discussing Honkai Impact 3rd videos.
This left Ye Li immensely troubled.
He had clearly only wanted to live a quiet, leisurely life. Why had things turned out like this?
Just then, a group of people nearby suddenly cried out, "It's here, it's here! It updated, it updated!!!"
Amid the shouts, nearly every student in the cafeteria quickly pulled out their phones, preparing to watch.
Meanwhile, Ye Li decisively picked up his tray and prepared to leave the cafeteria.
There was no other reason. Being watched by others while they viewed his past was simply too embarrassing.
However, before he had taken more than a few steps, he heard cursing from somewhere in the cafeteria.
"Which idiot just spread false news? Honkai Impact 3rd obviously hasn't updated!"
"Exactly! Drag out whoever spread that false news!"
Perhaps influenced by the heated atmosphere, the person suspected of "spreading false news" spoke up:
"I've been wronged! I never said Honkai Impact 3rd updated. I said Mr. Rek, the uploader I follow, updated~!"
Hearing this, Ye Li silently returned to his previous seat and calmly began eating his tomato and egg rice bowl.
As long as it wasn't that cabbage head, everything was fine!
Elsewhere, on P-site.
Many fans in the film and television section declared that the New Year had come early.
Their favorite uploader, Mr. Rek, had finally released a video last night, prompting many of his supporters to say that it felt like New Year's.
After seeing the title of Mr. Rek's newest video, some fans excitedly declared, "A double delight for fans of both!"
It's here, it's here!
Honkai Impact 3rd may not have updated, but Mr. Rek is good enough!
Yes! Mr. Rek updated, and it's about my favorite, Honkai Impact 3rd. This is a double celebration!
Of course, Mr. Rek's video about Honkai Impact 3rd received support from many fans, but it also drew confusion from certain "fans."
They left comments beneath the video, questioning whether Mr. Rek had accepted a sponsorship.
At the same time, they sarcastically remarked, "Understandable, really. He's making money, after all. Nothing shameful about that!"
However, as soon as those people finished saying that, random netizens immediately fired back.
Seriously? Are there still people these days who can keep a straight face while talking nonsense?
You can tell they've never watched Honkai Impact 3rd. With quality like that, if it's not unprecedented, then it at least crushes every similar work currently on the market, right?
Try to understand them. I just checked their viewing records. What kind of discernment could people who gave Fortress of the Sea and Bureau 974 five-star ratings possibly have?
Did you really think getting nearly a million coin tips in less than three hours meant nothing?
Complaints aside, after rebutting those people with ulterior motives, the netizens turned their attention back to Mr. Rek's video.
And the moment they watched it, they received a huge surprise.
In the video, Mr. Rek not only used his professional knowledge of the film industry to explain the exceptional aspects of Honkai Impact 3rd's special effects, but also praised its visual editing.
In Mr. Rek's own words, "Even I, who majored in directing in college, have to marvel at it. The timing of every single shot in this video is perfect. It's no exaggeration to say that it feels as though it truly happened."
After analyzing the "filming" techniques of Honkai Impact 3rd's prologue, Mr. Rek made bold predictions about the upcoming plot based on the visual language and character dialogue.
"What follows is purely my personal speculation, so I hope fans won't take it too seriously."
After making his disclaimer, Mr. Rek began explaining his thoughts on where the story would go next.
In summary, it was a classic story about girls saving the world.
Although the journey might involve hardships and obstacles, the ending would be a good one.
At the end of the video, Mr. Rek rarely appeared on camera himself and said the following:
"Honkai Impact 3rd has let me see hope for the film and television industry again. They proved that as long as you put your heart into polishing your content, you can create works that leave people cheering in delight."
"I also hope the Honkai Impact 3rd creators can tell us an unforgettable story in the chapters to come. And I hope it will be a healthy, uplifting, and positive work."
With that, Mr. Rek's video came to an end, leaving netizens discussing it endlessly.
Elsewhere, Bronya Zaychik, having finished the "World Hacker Competition," set off on her journey back to school.
Although, as a genius girl, high school could no longer teach her much at this stage, Bronya still planned to complete all three years of high school.
For no other reason than that she loved the youthful atmosphere of high school campuses, as well as the two irreplaceable close friends she could not bear to leave.
Thinking of this, Bronya took out her phone, intending to tell her friends that she would soon be returning.
However, as soon as she opened it, she saw a video link Kiana had sent her in their private chat window.
Smug Bronya! Come admire this young lady's magnificent figure properly!
What is that idiot thinking about all day...?
Though Bronya said that, she still opened the video link Kiana had sent separately.
Then Bronya's CPU burned out.
What the heck?
There's actually a movie these days willing to cast Kiana as the lead?
No, wait!
Why is Mei in it too?!
What?
You're saying I'm in it as well?!
Upon seeing this, Bronya's first reaction was that the video had been generated by AI.
But then Bronya overturned that assumption.
According to the newly enacted "AI Usage Act," if AI-generated content involved real people, the consent of the parties involved had to be obtained.
But Bronya was certain she had not received any relevant notification emails recently.
So that meant this video...
Its creators had broken the law!!!
