Jackal: Everyone Knows Otto Is a Coward Who Hides Behind the Valkyries / Funny Stories from the Movie's Voice-Over

The naive Little Knowledge found his minister.

"Shub, where is Yaqing?"

Shub looked up at the clock on the wall. "He should be off work by now."

"Ah?"

"For him, work is not about gaining value, but about exchanging labor for remuneration. Leaving get off work early is what he considers gaining value for himself."

The naive Little Knowledge was given another harsh lesson.

Chapter 216 Jackal: As everyone knows, Otto is a coward hiding behind the Valkyrie.

Arriving at the World Serpent Company building, Yaqing was still able to enter even without a work badge. This wasn't a special passage opened for him by Mobius, but rather something Mei did after she found out they were together.

Anyone familiar with Mobius knows that she would never be in her office upstairs; she would always be in her laboratory on the basement floor.

Yaqing openly came to find voice actors, went straight to the underground laboratory.

"Oh, Mr. Yaqing, what brings you here?" The Cang Xuan Danzhu sisters were waiting for the water to boil, and four buckets of instant noodles were neatly arranged on the table in front of them.

Mr. Lao Yaqing? What a strange title.

Yaqing thought to herself.

"Where is Mobius?"

Yaqing asked.

"The doctor is conducting an experiment," Cang Xuan said, pointing to the closed laboratory door.

"Is today's experiment important?" Yaqing asked curiously as she sat down.

"It's not that it's important, but..." Danzhu hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell Yaqing, "Actually, this experiment was supposed to be completed yesterday, but for some reason, it was only halfway through when they suddenly left in a hurry."

Upon hearing Danzhu's words, Yaqing recalled the expression on Mobius's face when he returned yesterday and chuckled.

"Hey, Mr. Yaqing, do you know what happened?" Cang Xuan asked.

"I don't know." Yaqing suppressed a laugh. "After the Mobius experiment is over, tell her I'll be waiting for her upstairs. I'll go find someone else first."

"OK!"

Cang Xuan Danzhu replied.

Yaqing took the elevator upstairs.

He tried hard to think.

May and Kevin didn't go to work today.

Mobius is conducting an experiment.

Vill-V locked himself in the laboratory to research patents.

Are there any people he knows in World Serpent Company?

Yaqing took out her phone and sent a message to someone.

On the ninth floor of World Serpent Company, at a coding station, a blue-gray-haired woman dressed in office attire heard her phone vibrate. She picked it up in confusion and noticed her ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up and down) bobbing on her head.

He put on a baseball cap to cover his tuft of hair, got up, and left his workstation.

"Hey, hey, hey, you came to World Serpent Company and didn't look for anyone else, but instead asked me to help you find someone?"

"Nonsense, if I could find another acquaintance, would I need to contact you?"

Yaqing and Raven have always met online and had "business dealings" with each other. They rarely meet in real life, but they have known each other for quite a long time.

"Who are you looking for?" Raven teased the other person, but she was still willing to help him find someone, after all, the man in front of her was a generous boss to her.

"Jackal".

"Huh?" Raven was taken aback. She didn't think the two knew each other. She said, "What do you want with that crazy woman? To do voice acting for your anime?"

"You're quite clever," Yaqing joked. "I don't know if you've seen the short drama about Honkai 3rd. The members of World Serpent have already appeared there, including Jackal."

Raven took Yaqing down the elevator to the underground. The underground was divided into three levels, the deepest of which was the laboratory in charge of Mobius, while Jackal's laboratory was on the second level.

"Raven? You come looking for me in broad daylight, what's wrong? Did someone find out about your secret side job? Can't stay upstairs anymore?" Jackal took off his white coat, his tone extremely sarcastic, completely different from the banter between friends like Yaqing and Raven.

"Jackal, your mouth is still as unpleasant as ever," Raven sneered.

"Is this your kept man? Or is he a test subject sent to me?" Jackal turned his gaze to Yaqing.

The Raven couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Jackal frowned.

"I never thought you'd be called a gigolo one day. It's hilarious!" Raven laughed even louder.

"Jackal, Ms. Jackal, I am..." Yaqing briefly introduced herself.

"Oh~, so you're the investor behind the World Serpent. Nice to meet you." Jackal must be "foolish and rich" bosses who give away money, so their tone softened considerably.

Yaqing took the opportunity to invite her to do voice-over work.

"I wonder if Ms. Jackal would be interested in doing voice acting?"

"Huh?" Jackal chuckled. "Little guy, do you know how much data I produce in a day? I don't have time to play this kind of childish game with you."

"There's no other way, I'll have to go find Mei." Yaqing turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Jackal's face turned ugly. "First of all, you don't need to use Mei to pressure me. Although I work for World Serpent, he begged me to do it. Then send me the voice acting script."

When Yaqing saw the Jackal back down, she knew he hadn't been lying to her.

Before coming to World Serpent, Yaqing had consulted Mei beforehand. Jackal greatly admired the three doctors of World Serpent, so he would do anything to join the company. If he said he was going to see Mei, Jackal would be afraid that Yaqing would complain about him and affect his image in the eyes of the doctors.

When Jackal saw that line in the script, she was stunned. She didn't understand why Yaqing, who was clearly a member of Schicksal, would smear the president of Schicksal in the script.

"Otto? Everyone knows Otto is a coward hiding behind the Valkyrie."

Do you think this sentence you wrote is normal?

"The Jackal asked."

"I think it's perfectly normal, ma'am."

Even the person involved didn't say much; Jackal just made a comment.

"I'm really afraid that after this movie is released, Otto will blacklist me in this industry."

After finishing the voice acting for the Jackal, Raven didn't want to stay there for even a minute longer. She took the elevator back to her workstation floor, and had barely sat down when the order came in.

"What a troublesome day," Raven muttered, before leaving her workstation.

Meanwhile, Yaqing took the elevator down one floor and returned to the Mobius Laboratory.

Even though she had finished her work and could have gone back to the company, Yaqing did not choose to go back.

"Why are you here?" Mobius asked, looking tired as he emerged from the laboratory.

Seeing this, Cang Xuan pulled Danzhu and Klein to leave work early, leaving the two of them alone.

There are no sofas in the lab.

Yaqing stood behind Mobius and gently massaged her temples.

"Senior, take good care of yourself."

"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about your own health," Mobius said, showing no appreciation whatsoever.

"Doesn't my senior know my physical condition better than anyone else?"

"Smooth-talking, don't tell me that's also because of Otto's influence?"

"More or less." Yaqing replied without hesitation, attributing all her bad habits to the influence of Otto since childhood.

"Senior, why did you suddenly go back yesterday?"

"I told you, I forgot to take the documents," Mobius said, his tone unchanged.

Chapter 217 Interesting Stories about Movie Dubbing

The voice-over phase for "Honkai 4: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky" has officially begun, Far East Branch Schicksal is busy again. Among them, there are quite a few newcomers who cause trouble because they are not familiar with the work process.

For example, someone "unexpectedly" made Fu Hua's model flatter, someone added a lot of fabric to Kiana's Void Drifter model, and someone suspected that their workload was related to the number of times she appeared in the story and her sophistication.

One of the most important things was that a certain insect stole the afternoon tea snacks that Rita had arranged for Yaqing every day.

"Okay, that's approved."

Shub spoke into the microphone, "Yes, to Mei in the recording studio."

Mei walked out of the recording studio with a blank expression.

"Mei, you did a great job recording!" Kiana quickly stepped forward. As a member of the voice acting department, she volunteered to come with Shub to complete Mei's voice acting work.

"Why wasn't the 'I' in the story by Kiana's side? The most memorable line is still 'I can't do anything'?" Mei stunned by that line in the text.

"Mei, don't worry, even in the story, Big Sister will never hurt me." Kiana said confidently, clearly having already finished recording her voiceover.

Shub joked, "Little Kiana, have you forgotten how you cried in the recording studio back then?"

"I..." Kiana's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, but she quickly regained her usual energetic self. "I cried because... because the recording took too long, and I couldn't take it anymore!"

Mei asked curiously, "What kind of plot is it?"

Each character has their own voice-over script, so Mei doesn't know Kiana's storyline.

"Mei, even within the company, spoilers are strictly forbidden," Shub reminded her.

With relatively few characters appearing and the story revolving around Kiana, the voice acting work is nearing completion after several weeks of effort. Currently, they are just waiting for the voice files for Durandal and Alvitr from headquarters.

In the post-production department's work area, Cheng Lixue looked with satisfaction at the college students working hard in front of their computers. Free from work pressure, she enjoyed looking at the scenery outside and sipping warm milk tea.

"This is life~~" This was the most relaxed Cheng Lixue had experienced since arriving at the branch.

"Lixue, are you enjoying yourself?" Salome walked over to Cheng Lixue's side.

"Salome?" Cheng Lixue was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, Salome should be the busiest person during the final preparations for the film, so why would she make a special trip to the post-production department?

"Lixue, you..."

"No!"

As soon as Salome opened her mouth, Cheng Lixue hurriedly refused. No matter what Salome said, she did not want to give up this comfortable working environment and life.

If the world truly has Honkai, Cheng Lixue felt that her current state was perfectly suited to the role of Herrscher.

"Okay~" Salome shrugged helplessly, "I just want to ask, how are things going between you and Fu Hua?"

"Get along..."

Cheng Lixue didn't know how to express it. Perhaps because of preconceived notions, she had a strange sense of longing and respect for this girl who was younger than her but looked older than herself.

"Why are you asking this?" Cheng Lixue looked at her suspiciously.

"I'm curious, Yaqing portrayed your touching master-disciple relationship in the anime, do you feel particularly compatible with each other in real life because of the anime?"

"Actually, it's still a little awkward..."

While Cheng Lixue and Salome were chatting, the person they were talking to was sitting seriously in front of the computer, doing post-production work. Ever since the incident with Little Knowledge's model modification, Fu Hua had been taking every appearance of hers very seriously.

"Old fogey, you don't trust me!"

Little Knowledge moved a chair and sat down next to Fu Hua.

Fu Hua glanced at her, her eyes seeming to say, "I don't trust you."

"I'm done!"

"Don't shout."

"Seriously... it's just that I secretly modified your model last time, and I call that conforming to the prototype..." Little Knowledge obediently listened, muttering in dissatisfaction.

Fu Hua's forehead veins bulged.
