Researching Brain-Computer Interfaces and Creating a Virtual World / "Nine Bends: Chiyou Arc," "Anti-Entropy: Invasion," and "Moonshadow Arc"

"Do you know him?" Anna asked.

"Yes, boss."

Chen Tianwu described his current situation in very few words.

"Brother, they've already called us. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if we didn't go?"

Chen Tianwen pulled Chen Tianwu seemed to be nailed to the ground, towards the back row.

To Chen Tianwu's surprise, no one paid attention to him; instead, everyone's attention was focused on his girlfriend.

"Hello~, my name is Elysia, you can call me Elysia, that's what everyone calls me, it sounds cute, like me?"

Anna grasped Elysia's outstretched hand without hesitation.

"My name is Anna Schariac, you can call me Anna."

While Anna was chatting with everyone in the Golden Courtyard, Chen Tianwu stood awkwardly to the side, only to be rescued by the group who returned from the premiere ceremony.

"I don't care! I don't care! This old relic is going to have a new form again! You still haven't fulfilled your promise to me!"

The person hadn't arrived yet, but their voice had already reached them.

Before Little Knowledge even appeared, they could already hear the commotion, as if someone was bothering someone.

"Little Knowledge."

Yaqing was helpless. He couldn't very well reveal the juicy plot twist of the next movie, could he?

"I promise you, you'll definitely be in the next movie."

Upon hearing this, Little Knowledge, who had been annoyed just moments before, hugged Yaqing's neck tightly, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Really? Yaqing, I love you to death!!"

This intimate scene came into Anna's view.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've heard from Sister Bianka that Uncle has a girlfriend in the Far East. I never imagined that Uncle likes... someone so lively. You really can't judge a book by its cover."

Anna was completely unaware that Mobius's face had turned completely black.

Mobius wanted to swear, but she wasn't Tesla. With her education and upbringing, the only swear words that came to mind were things like "idiot," "fool," "guinea pig," and "Kalpas."

"Little Knowledge, be careful," Fu Hua said.

"Oh dear, you old fogey, you're so boring."

Little Knowledge's interest was dampened. In her eyes, Yaqing and Kiana were no different; they were both friends who got along very well. Perhaps in her eyes, there was no distinction between men and women, only between good friends, ordinary friends, and strangers.

Chapter 265 Researching Brain-Computer Interfaces and Creating Virtual Worlds

Why are you all staring at me like that?

When Yaqing returned, he found that everyone in the courtyard was looking at him strangely.

Elysia gave a signal with her eyes.

Yaqing noticed Mobius's expression and asked in confusion, "Senior, what's wrong?"

Yaqing skillfully held Mobius's hand.

Anna stared in surprise at the scene, then remembered what she had just said, her face flushing with embarrassment. "That..."

"Anna?" Yaqing beckoned to Kiana, "Kiana, come here."

What are you doing?

Kiana, who was snuggling up to Mei, walked over in an annoyed tone.

"She is Anna Schariac, and according to the family hierarchy, she is your cousin."

"Cousin?"

Kiana looked at Anna curiously. Judging from her hair color and pupils, she could immediately see the features of Schariac, who was extremely similar to Yaqing.

Kiana's overly friendly nature kicked in again.

In essence, Anna and Kiana have very similar personalities.

We always have a dinner party after each movie; that's a consistent rule.

At the dinner table, Anna whispered to Yaqing, "Uncle, was that Tianwu's voice at the end of the movie?"

Yaqing nodded and said, "Please apologize to Chen Tianwu for using his voice without his permission."

Anna gently shook her head and said, "It's nothing. He really likes Honkai. Uncle, he's overjoyed that you wrote him into Honkai. But we're very curious, how exactly did you do it?"

Yaqing then introduced Anna to the voiceprint simulation technology she had developed.

Anna was incredibly surprised.

"Uncle, with this thing you've developed, won't all the devices in the world that are activated by voiceprints become your backyard?"

"Not really," Yaqing said. "Anna, if you and Chen Tianwu are free, you can come and participate in the dubbing work. I was originally planning to ask for your opinions after the movie was finished."

"Of course I have no objection, and neither does Chen Tianwu." Anna couldn't hide her excitement. "Is it for the next movie?"

"No."

Yaqing's words extinguished the excitement that had just ignited within her.

"Although it follows the same main theme, it is not a film released globally, but rather a film released online."

"Online release is also good."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief.

For her, any movie is fine, regardless of whether it's shown in theaters or not, since it will be streamed online after its theatrical run.

Sitting next to Yaqing, Mobius naturally overheard the conversation. She could already guess the identity of the Fifth Herrscher: it was either Anna or Fu Hua.

However, if Mobius were to voice his speculations online, he would definitely be criticized, since one is a character who hasn't even appeared yet, and the other is an immortal Shenzhou for thousands of years.

If warriors from the Previous Era and guardians of the current civilization were to become Herrscher, it would definitely be hard for the audience to accept.

After the celebration party ended, Yaqing took a shower and sat in her gaming chair in her room, looking at the online ratings for the movie.

"Honkai 5: When Thunder Rises" has a rating of 9.6, and this is only the rating on its first day of release. The vast majority of viewers have not yet seen the movie.

"As expected of Welt, it was just right; I cried from beginning to end."

"Dude, if you put it that way, I'm too scared to go see it."

"Go watch it! You definitely won't regret it!"

Yaqing suddenly felt that most of the comments online were somewhat familiar; the way they tried to lure people in and then stab them in the back was exactly the same as his own.

"Really."

Yaqing had already decided on this year's plans at the beginning of the year. The next movie should be a New Year's film, and he had already thought of the movie title.

Honkai VI: The Taixu Dream Records

The name with Shenzhou flavor will be used as the Shenzhou New Year greeting.

"Was I too much?"

Yaqing reflected.

Is it really appropriate to make the audience cry during such a joyous occasion as the Lunar New Year?

He pondered, he reflected, he didn't ponder.

He made his decision.

It seems that Shigure Kira wrote a script back then, which was quite nonsensical. After his revisions, it can be considered a spin-off of the Honkai series, and it was released at the same time as the next movie.

It's scheduled for release during the Spring Festival.

It seems to be called something like Honkai 3rd International Zero.

Shigure Kira didn't have the ability to write a script on her own, so he simply added a few lines.

"What should we do next?"

Yaqing pondered.

Whether to bring up the Durandal web series first, or to let the division enter the game market first, Welt Young has felt a sense of crisis ever since he founded the game studio.

After all, even he grew up watching "Ahalato," so you can imagine how popular "Ahalato" is. If it were adapted into a game, it might even surpass the games he developed.

"A vast open world? No way! Turn-based combat? No way!"

"Virtual reality headset? Sure!"

Yaqing remembered that his teacher, Dr. Maki, had once researched brain-computer interfaces, but after all, his teacher had already retired.

"I'm so stupid."

Yaqing suddenly slapped his forehead.

If you want to study the virtual world, there are already several talented people right here! Why bother going to the trouble of bringing back your retired teacher?

Vill-V and Mobius.

When Yaqing was little, she watched a TV series called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on Shenzhou, and she was deeply impressed by one line in it.

"If one of the Crouching Dragon or the Young Phoenix is obtained, the world can be at peace."

Now, he only felt that Vill-V and Mobius were his hidden talents.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that in Shenzhou, "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix" had become a derogatory term.

"What?!"

Vill-V looked at Yaqing had a pleading expression on her face.

"Vill-V, please, please, the only people I can think of are you and my senior."

Vill-V didn't intend to refuse; she was simply surprised.

In a world where people still play computer games, Yaqing has already thought about entering the virtual world. It's not that no one has thought about it before, there have even been anime about it, but he is the only one who has put it into action.

"This thing is difficult."

"With Senior Sister Vill-V here, what problem can stump you?"

"That's right." Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice, so Vill-V directly addressed Yaqing: "How much funding can you give me?"

"My dividends for eight quarters."

Yaqing said calmly.

As a massive conglomerate spanning three continents, Yaqing, who is in charge of a sector, is undoubtedly a senior executive within the conglomerate, and his quarterly bonus is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Whether the Honkai series can make money or not is not important.

He could support everyone in the company just through dividends.

That's why, after hearing about the eight quarters, Vill-V nodded.

"I don't know if it's enough, but I'll try my best to make it for you."

Chapters 266: "Nine Netherworlds: Chi You Chapter," "Anti-Entropy: Invasion," and "Moon Shadow Chapter"

Kevin somehow found out about Yaqing and Vill-V's conversation, and he kept bothering Yaqing to confirm it.

"Kevin, if you're free, go and work overtime."

Yaqing was utterly helpless.

"Putting overtime aside, are you really going to invest in brain-computer interfaces to create a virtual world with millions of people online simultaneously?!"

Kevin is a seasoned anime and manga enthusiast.

He was constantly thinking about playing this kind of game.

Once he heard rumors, whether true or false, he wanted to confirm them with Yaqing.

"I'm speechless. Tell me who told you this information first?"

"Let me tell you first, I will absolutely not betray Pardo," Kevin said righteously.
