The Honkai Chronicles; Rita Makes a Bold Move; Three Storylines Unfold at Once.
Little Knowledge patted Kiana's shoulder and comforted her, "Kiana, you're a main character, so you're getting good treatment. Look at me, I'm still sharing an identity with that old relic."
Little Knowledge sat down next to Kiana, pouting.
"Yaqing didn't lie to you; she did give you a chance to beat Kevin and kick Schicksal."
Shub joked, "If we're talking about who's worse off, none of you are as miserable as me."
"Hiss!"
Kiana and Little Knowledge gasped.
At least they are still alive and well. In Shub's setting, however, her appearance has been replaced by someone else, and she may not even be human.
"Never mind, I'm going to find my Mei!"
Kiana ran towards Mei's floor.
Shub watched Kiana's departing figure and shook her head. These two sisters were truly cut from the same cloth; one actively sought experience, while the other passively sought it.
However, everyone in the company could see that the two of them had a relationship.
Kiana slacks off at work, running around everywhere. One minute she's looking for Mei, the next she's sneaking snacks into Shub's office, and then she's taking a nap in Yaqing's office in the afternoon. Who wouldn't see that she's a rich young lady with connections?!
Who would dare to take a nap in their boss's office during the workday?
Kiana went to find Mei, but Mei was busy, so she went directly to the top floor.
"Knock knock".
Yaqing was discussing virtual reality headsets with Vill-V, such as cost, marketing, and revenue sharing, when she heard a knock on the door and instinctively said, "Come in."
Kiana sneakily pushed open the office door.
"Uncle, I've come to get some snacks... Oh, Sister Vill-V is here too?"
Kiana looked at Vill-V in surprise.
In her memory, Vill-V was a strange older sister who was sometimes very gentle with her, sometimes indifferent to her, and sometimes even physically abusive towards her.
Although Kiana doesn't mind a beautiful woman touching her inappropriately.
"Kiana, your uncle and Vill-V have some work to discuss. Why don't you go to Salome's office for a nap today?"
Yaqing spoke in a tone as if coaxing a child.
"Okay, okay."
Kiana left with the snack box in her arms.
Where were we?
Yaqing turned her head and asked.
"Regarding the promotion of virtual reality headsets, there are currently no games of this type on the market. How can we make it acceptable to people?"
Suddenly, Vill-V smiled confidently, took out a magician's hat from behind her back, and said elegantly, "I have eighteen solutions to this problem, eighteen of them!"
Yaqing swallowed hard.
He prefers to discuss serious matters with the expert personality rather than the magician personality.
The hype surrounding the Honkai trailer hadn't died down when, shortly after, the official Honkai team released another video to hype up the next installment's storyline.
This was something no audience member had anticipated.
Even before watching the video, just hearing the sad background music at the beginning made veteran viewers of the Honkai immediately realize what was going on.
Oh no, there's a knife.
But even knowing there was a knife, they didn't avoid it.
The video has no visuals, only a white background like snowflakes, resembling a broken screen, giving it a very vintage feel. On top of that white background, there is a line of striking black text.
The combination of a woman's voice strained to hold back tears and somber background music.
"See..."
"Everyone in this theater is like this, everyone in this world is like this!" "Blind! Impulsive! Selfish! Tragic!" Her voice was full of resentment towards life, like a low murmur before despair, expressing her dissatisfaction with the world.
"They don't understand what they want, and they don't know what they should do. They just let others manipulate them, becoming a ridiculous actor, a foolish puppet!"
She was hysterical, almost like she was going crazy.
"I want to thank you..."
"You threw me onto this stage of despair just to tell me this?!" "I'm no different from them... I am..." "Such a despicable... ugly... member of humanity!!!" Her voice held a final, desperate madness.
There is no video feed in this video.
However, the impact on the audience was far greater than that of the previous promotional video.
From the moment it appeared, the Theater of Domination was synonymous with terror, and puppets were the epitome of horror films. However, this video tells the audience that puppets have flesh and blood and emotions.
The sound of her crying actually made them feel a little sorry for her.
["My heart aches for them. It turns out these puppets are also pitiful beings."]
"The Honkai selects Herrscher, isn't it just choosing those who have lost hope in humanity? They're all bound to be pitiful people. Isn't that always the case with the Void Herrscher, Herrscher of Thunder, Herrscher of Wind, Herrscher of Ice?"
The comments under that promotional video were almost all like this.
They had no idea how many time-traveling warriors would come to capture them after this movie, or how many people would delete their Collapse Official Website accounts and create new ones.
The reason is simply because they left a comment expressing their sympathy for the Herrscher of the Thousand in the barrage of the promotional video.
Kosma swallowed hard.
He also felt sorry for the owner of the voice in the promotional video.
However, being a man of few words, he did not say it aloud.
We're back!
Elysia, Mei, Pardo, and Mobius returned to the Golden Courtyard carrying large bags of goods, and upon hearing Elysia's voice, Kosma felt as if he had seen a savior.
"Hey? Amo, why are you livestreaming? Where's Yaqing?"
Elysia was puzzled.
"Not here."
Kosma's words were extremely brief.
She directly pulled the Kitty with the level 10 Kosma Language.
Kitty Translator is now available.
"Oh, Sister Elysia, Amo means is that Yaqing's company suddenly had something come up, and he was involved in a collaboration with Vill-V, so he called him back to cover for him."
The Kitty translated it all.
Elysia was already used to it.
But the viewers in the live stream were stunned.
"Wow, those two words have so many meanings! Pardo is amazing!"
"Is this really not something she made up herself?"
"Wait, didn't you guys get to the point? Old... oops, Uncle has another collaboration. A joint project is unlikely, and Schicksal isn't short of money or views, so what could it be?"
Elysia then noticed that the live stream was still running.
So I walked to the computer desk.
Speaking into the microphone, I said, "Should I say this... Hi~ Did you miss me?"
As soon as Elysia spoke, the live stream's popularity soared.
It's completely different from the live stream of Kosma just now.

Chapter 361 The Honkai of the Kingdom, Rita's Straight Strike, Three Lines Simultaneously.
A week has passed quietly.
For those who are following the series, it's extremely difficult, especially for the sisters Rosalia and Lilia, who haven't appeared since the Angel Rebuild.
Rosalia was thrilled to see herself back on screen. As soon as the bell rang, she grabbed Lilia and rushed back to the dormitory.
"Call."
On the way back, she remotely turned on the air conditioner with her phone. When she opened the door, a blast of hot air hit her. Rosalia let out a long sigh of relief, took off her heavy down jacket, and jumped onto the sofa with a running start.
"Rosalia doesn't take her shoes off properly again."
Lilia complained as she put the shoes in the shoe cabinet and tidied them up.
"Lilia, Lilia, come quick! It's about to begin."
Rosalia patted the sofa next to her.
"They're here."
As soon as Lilia sat down, Rosalia picked up the remote control, and an image immediately appeared on the black screen of the wall-mounted LCD TV.
The new episode of the web series did not unfold the plot for the audience.
Instead, three options emerged.
The audience was stunned.
I don't understand what the official response is all about.
Elysia was live streaming when she saw that the web series had multiple-choice questions. She was stunned for a moment, wondering if this was a web series or a game.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments, like a vast ocean.
"Holy crap, my neighbor's auntie, you can make anime like this? Choosing your own storyline? What kind of anime is this? This is simply... amazing!"
"Is this what they call interactive story animation?"
Elysia carefully examined the three options.
"Schicksal, the Huang Empire, the Pirate Federation."
Elysia recalls that Schicksal seemed to have been founded by Kiana's descendants many generations ago, and the Pirate Federation was the rebels, so...
Elysia resolutely clicked on the Huang Empire.
The web series started with Lilia and Rosalia, which wasn't surprising to viewers. But last week's ending featured silhouettes that clearly identified them as the Vodka sisters.
"Lilia, Lilia, look, she's awake."
"Rosalia, Rosalia, yes, that's right, he's awake."
The narrator reveals his inner thoughts: the trick of the beautiful girl waking you up. The Captain chooses to turn over and go back to sleep. His intuition tells him that opening his eyes now will definitely not bring good news.
"Lilia, Lilia, this person hasn't even started yet, and he's already trying to escape reality. Can you hear me, Lilia?"
"Rosalia, Rosalia, yes, he very skillfully chose to speak in an escapist manner. I heard it, Rosalia."
Despite being easily seen through by the beautiful girl, the Captain felt no shame. Instead, he confidently declared that one can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep, and that while escaping is shameful, it is effective.
"Lilia, Lilia, what is this person saying with such an air of superiority?"
"Rosalia, Rosalia, children shouldn't watch this, they'll be corrupted."
"Oh, then I won't watch it..."
Rosalia instinctively replied, but quickly realized her mistake and, hands on her hips, retorted angrily, "No, who are you calling a child?! You're the child! Your whole family are children!"
"..."
Lilia remained silent.
Rosalia and Lilia's few words dispelled the sadness brought by last week's separation, and their playful banter brought smiles to the audience's faces.
They thought the same thing.
A storyline with twins is bound to be fun.
Is this another flashback narrative?
