"Okay, just as I expected."

Yaqing suddenly put her arm around Kevin's shoulder and whispered, "You're one of the only three who know this, so don't tell anyone. It's just a project right now."

"Marvelous!"

Kevin couldn't hide his excitement and exclaimed.

"Shh!" Yaqing quickly covered Kevin's mouth.

Kevin gave him a look that indicated he understood.

I don't play games with a logout button.

"Play it or not, it's up to you." Yaqing turned and walked away, only to run into Mei.

"Yaqing, I heard you're going to invest in brain-computer interfaces?"

Yaqing glanced at Kevin with annoyance.

Kevin shook his head vigorously to indicate that it wasn't him.

"Pardo!!!"

Hearing the loud noise, Pardo was on the second floor, shivered and carefully retreated from Kosma's empty room, running towards the third floor on all fours.

"Why call Pardo?" Mei asked, puzzled.

Seeing Mei's confusion, Yaqing was even more bewildered.

It wasn't passed down by Pardo?

He couldn't think of anyone else but Pardo.

Kevin was also angered by this. If he didn't consider cooperating with Vill-V, it would mean that the Far East Destiny Branch Office would cooperate with World Serpent Technology Company, and Vill-V would definitely have to discuss it with May and Mobius.

"What are you thinking about? Vill-V told me." May casually picked up some cut fruit from the table with a toothpick. "Brain-computer interfaces won't be developed for several years, but virtual reality headsets are faster; they might be available in a couple of years."

Kevin was extremely excited.

Yaqing nodded.

Not long after the release of "Honkai 5: When Thunder Rises Through the Sky," and before even the theatrical screenings have ended, the official Collapse Official Website has already released several short dramas.

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

The three short dramas were released together.

To align with the main storyline, Yaqing made many changes.

According to the timeline, the three short dramas are connected.

The first part tells the story of Kiana and her companions searching for the Nine Netherworlds and sealing Chi You in order to save Himeko from the corruption caused by Artificial Stigmata.

The second part tells the story after the Stigmata arc. In order to become stronger, Kiana undergoes training, Cocolia sends the First Herrscher clones to infiltrate St. Freya Academy.

The third part explains the whereabouts of the Herrscher Core and why it was inside Kiana's body.

What's even more striking is the change in the audience's attitude towards Ziegfried. When watching the second part, Ziegfried and Kiana's childhood memories allow them to grasp the meaning behind the name Kaslana.

When they saw the third installment, even though Ziegfried was wanted by Schicksal, he still had to ask Fu Hua for help. Only then did they realize that Ziegfried was still the man who fought for his family and was willing to give anything to save his daughter.

"Okay, let's analyze it."

In the dubbing department, Shub tapped the blackboard.

The dubbing department was already quite idle, and now the focus was on producing web dramas, so Shub asked Kiana and Little Knowledge to analyze Yaqing's thoughts, such as the significance of releasing the three short dramas at this time.

"I don't know, I only know that Mei is pretty."

Kiana didn't want to know what Yaqing thought; she only envied Mei's soft, delicate, and fair little feet that were being stepped on by her in the short drama. She wished those feet could be on Kiana's face.

"I don't know, I just want to kill that clone."

Little Knowledge's mind was filled with the scene from the third short drama where Fu Hua was captured by Welt's clone, who unbuttoned her white shirt one button at a time, revealing her fair skin, which made her anger level soar.

Shub shook her head.

"Ah owe!"

Welt Joyce, far away in North America, sneezed, unaware that his persona had been shattered by a clone in a web series.

Originally, the audience's impression of Joyce was based on his cool fight against Otto in the final battle, but now that impression has been replaced by the replicant.

"Joyce, you..."

Schrödinger found it difficult to speak.

"What's wrong?" Joyce noticed something amiss from Schrödinger's complicated expression.

"You should see for yourself," Edison, suppressing a laugh.

Joyce took the tablet with a puzzled look on her face. It was playing the second short drama, the one called Anti-Entropy: Invasion.

The more I looked at Joyce's face, the darker it became.

Especially when he saw the clone's arrogant expression, only to be trampled underfoot by the Raiden Queen, and finally killed instantly by Welt Yang, he felt a great sense of satisfaction when the clone died.

"A very... ordinary short drama."

"Don't rush, there's another one." Edison suppressed a laugh and clicked on the next short drama to play for Joyce.

When he saw the clone grab Fu Hua and unbutton her shirt one button at a time, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"No way! I've been dead for so many years in the story, how can a clone appear and ruin my reputation?!"

Joyce was speechless.

"Hahahaha!" Edison finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

Joyce looked at the comments online and gave a wry smile.

"Someone like Joyce, and his clone looks like this? It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover. I doubt Joyce would actually look like this."

"What if, in the research on clones, Cocolia added her own touch?"

"The clones are dying one after another, it's ridiculous. Couldn't Joyce have had a better ending in the Honkai series?"

"Indeed, Joyce's death was gruesome enough. Welt was torn to shreds by Welt Yang's gravity, and of all people Va-2 had to choose, he chose Fu Hua, which only made his death worse."

Welt Joyce looked at the comments online and was thankful that the war hadn't reached him.

It's likely that the replicants and Joyce's own personality are too different, so the audience didn't connect the two, just like Welt Young in the short film, who didn't acknowledge that these replicants were Joyce.

As the short drama airs, the theatrical screenings of "Honkai 5: When Thunder Rises Through the Sky" are coming to an end, and the web drama "Durandal" is also on the agenda at the Far East branch.

Along with Durandal, the web series Post-Honkai Odyssey was also confirmed.

Chapter 267: The Web Series "Durandal" Airs

The promotion of the web series has been put on the agenda. Unlike the previous web series "Anti-Entropy: Origin", Yaqing has obviously given his niece a lot of preferential treatment. The promotion on the Collapse Official Website 3rd is comparable to that of a feature film.

It took up a large portion of the homepage.

"Hurry, hurry, I can't wait any longer."

After graduating from the St. Freya Academy, Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and Seele rented a villa.

Strangely, just as they rented the villa, the landlord transferred the ownership to someone else, who reportedly bought it. To this day, they haven't even met the new landlord.

All I know is that his online name is: I am Destiny.

Kiana couldn't wait, so she prepared soda and snacks, eagerly anticipating her older sister's web series.

"Kiana, you've taken so many snacks again. We're about to have dinner." Mei said helplessly but affectionately. Although she said it, she didn't stop her.

Bronya and Seele, who were leaning against each other on the sofa, looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

Central Europe.

"Little Bianka, your web series is about to start~~~" Cecilia called out to the room upstairs.

Durandal came downstairs, dressed in casual clothes and wearing big white cat-shaped slippers. She ran to the sofa and pounced on it.

"That's dangerous! How old are you to still be acting like a child with your mother?" Cecilia caught Durandal as she lunged at her.

Although Cecilia doesn't look like a woman who has given birth, with a slender figure and lacking the mature charm of a woman, she is still better than Bianka. And Durandal's figure goes without saying.

The beautiful view from the sofa can attract the attention of any man in the world.

Unfortunately, only Ziegfried was able to witness such a beautiful sight.

After cutting and arranging the fruit on a plate on the coffee table, Ziegfried finally sat down on the sofa.

"The treatment that Brother Yaqing gave Bianka is unprecedented and will never be repeated."

Ziegfried sighed.

Durandal is portrayed in the story as someone who can fight Kevin, a pioneer of the Previous Era, or be Schicksal S-Rank Valkyrie.

"It's starting! It's starting!"

Amidst the anticipation of viewers across the internet, the web series began airing. The title of the first episode was quite cryptic. "The Prodigy Recalls the Past, the Secret Pact Remains in His Heart."

The episode title, so distinctly Shenzhou flavor, made viewers wonder: Is this really a web series about Durandal, or perhaps about Fu Hua?

The first character to appear on screen is the rather delicate Durandal. She lacks the reassuring presence she gives in the main storyline, making her seem like an ordinary girl—frank and straightforward.

After finishing Valkyrie training, Durandal enjoyed breakfast brought to her by her maid Rita.

Sirin, who has no classes on weekends and doesn't attend them even when she does, started a live stream.

In the Queen of Void's live stream, viewers were amazed by Durandal's adorable character model.

"Hahaha, so this is what my older sister was like when she was little."

Sirin smiled very happily.

"Bianka isn't going to be S-Rank Valkyrie yet, is she?"

"This is no normal person! A normal person would have their leg bones shattered long ago if subjected to this kind of training."

"She's so cute, I love her!"

In Central Europe, Cecilia noticed that Bianka's baby fat had disappeared with age, which she found very regrettable.

When Bianka was little, she had chubby cheeks, and Cecilia loved to rub her face against them.

Bianka shivered.

It seems she was recalling something from the past.

The conversation between Durandal and Rita brought smiles to the faces of viewers.

After experiencing the Sinners Elegy, the audience's hearts were deeply wounded, and they especially needed this kind of sweet storyline to soothe them.

"His Bishop will implement his plan when the time is right. And we will eventually have the opportunity to fulfill our promises."

"Of course, this is Bianka's top priority."

The conversation between Durandal and Rita reveals significant clues, such as the fact that Durandal wasn't always named Durandal. Furthermore, what exactly happened four years ago? This has piqued the audience's curiosity.

When Rita mentioned Otto's plan, the audience's hearts jumped into their throats.

The phrase "Otto's plan" suggests that nothing good is likely to happen, according to the audience.

"Wow, Otto's implementation plan, that sentence really triggered my PTSD."
