Kiana summed it up...

When explaining historical figures, those commentary Vups never talked about someone in isolation, or focused solely on a single event.

Because history had always been a group of people and a series of events piled together to form an era.

So...

Commenting on a single character alone felt hollow.

Thus, she tried to build upon the sharp remarks made by other characters in the second video, truly bringing in other characters as relevant figures to describe and highlight, creating a sense of interweaving.

It was like she had not merely covered the protagonist being exposed this time.

She had also brought in other people along the way.

It felt more vivid, more lifelike.

Kiana felt that she could continue trying more approaches and methods in the future.

Admittedly.

The focus still had to remain on the protagonist of the feature.

But the content itself could be richer, or more varied.

It did not matter if there was not enough material.

It did not have to be complete.

Nor did it need to cover every single aspect.

Sometimes, deliberately leaving things unsaid was even better.

But sometimes, the lives of characters other than the featured protagonist were fascinating too. Their existence could also stir up an uproar in that era and provide emotional value.

There was no need to restrict every episode to a fixed set of people, either.

With the featured protagonist as the core, she could let her thoughts branch out. As long as it was relevant and interesting, it could work.

For example, Kevin, Mei, Su, and several others in the third feature...

Even if they had already been introduced in somewhat considerable detail.

Could they not appear in later videos?

What was more, Kiana planned to use this series of videos to bring her wives back first. But that did not mean she could not reveal information like that of the Third Great Honkai through Vup Youzi, in the manner of casual chatter.

When all was said and done!

Kiana was not even a professional commentary Vup.

Her goal was not to truly make this bigger and stronger, leaving everyone astonished by her achievements.

Rather!

She was the only one in this niche.

Right now, whether they wanted to or not, the whole world had to watch. It was practically the same as everyone following her.

That was already something many Vups could only dream of.

She was already standing at the summit.

Why should she agonize over it so much?

Rather than thinking about that.

What Kiana truly needed to consider was what the fourth video would cover. Though she had decided to feature the Sakura Rin sisters, she still needed to carefully consider how to fabricate certain things while tying them to reality.

Still, it had to be said.

Reading books related to video production.

Had indeed given her quite a few insights.

Whether it was the selection and arrangement of BGM, or controlling the pacing, all of it was very useful.

"Although we made chibi character avatars in the previous three videos to make up for the lack of footage from the future..."

"But how should I put it... Sometimes, having a little figure stand there all foolishly, waving its arms around, really does feel kind of strange..."

Kiana silently pondered to herself.

Then she suddenly said to the system.

"Why not imitate Honkai: Star Rail's preview livestreams, or Genshin Impact's old tea parties... and properly decorate the main interface?"

"Then have Youzi interview some other people as the host, letting them appear in chibi form too."

"Wouldn't a back-and-forth question-and-answer format be better?"

"..."

Although Vup Youzi would definitely still be mainly responsible for the reveals.

Having someone else play the straight man did not seem bad either.

As long as you like it, there is no problem. The system still would not refuse any of Kiana's requests.

Workload?

In her eyes, there was no such thing as workload.

It would be effortless.

"Then it's settled!" Kiana smiled sweetly.

Her smile made Elysia look over. "Did something good happen?"

"Mm-hmm, it did, Eri~" Kiana had become very accustomed to calling her Eri.

Sure enough, habits were terrifying things.

"I want to see too!" Elysia leaned closer, her little head nearly resting on Kiana's shoulder. Her soft breath made Kiana feel a little ticklish.

Unfortunately, Elysia could not see anything in the book that would make Kiana laugh.

She tilted her head.

Her puzzled expression was especially adorable.

Kiana did not explain. She merely smiled and continued reading. Bored, Elysia went back to eating her milk salad, and when she was done, she fed Kiana a bite as well.

The gesture was intimate.

Yet it also felt especially warm.

PS1: Here's the first update. There's one more to come, keep it up~~

Bianca Cursed Internally: There Really Was Nothing Going On Between Me and the Doctor!

It was worth mentioning that during this period, Doctor Mobius gradually relocated the First Research Institute to Canghai City, and her work naturally began unfolding there as well.

There was nothing unusual about that.

Just from hearing her mention it briefly, one could tell that progress had been going rather well.

But because of her major move.

She drew the attention of many people.

Whether they were reporters who had truly caught wind of the news, or people secretly looking to stir up trouble, they all set their sights on Mobius. As a result, the relocation of Mobius's laboratory drew even more attention, with many people desperate to dig up some inside information.

It gave Mobius quite a headache.

Fortunately.

Klein had only just arrived.

And Bianca had not left yet.

Since she had not left anyway, Mobius adopted the attitude of using her a little more and sent Bianca to deal with those reporters.

After all, Bianca was used to it.

She could not possibly send Cang Xuan and Danzhu, those innocent university students whose internships had not even ended yet, over to make a mess for her, could she?

Bianca could only console herself.

If she held on a little longer, she would be able to leave.

She would no longer have to work regular 996 hours, or even the occasional 007 shift.

Though the more she thought about it, the more miserable she felt.

Sigh~

With nothing better to do, Kiana's Mother scrolled through the news and saw the recent press conference held by Mobius's laboratory, where related information had been made public.

She clicked in to watch it.

"Miss Bianca!"

"Why did Doctor Mobius relocate her laboratory, including the entire First Research Institute, to Canghai City? Was it truly as the internet claims, that she came because the Herrscher of the End was in Canghai City?"

"..."

"I can only say that the doctor relocated here because of work requirements. Shenzhou provided considerable financial support. That is all."

"..."

"You have seen that surveillance video circulating online, haven't you? May I ask whether it is real?"

"You should not be asking me that. You should ask the Canghai City police."

"..."

"Doctor Bianca, it has been said that Flame-Chasing Moth is also considering relocating its headquarters to Canghai City. Is that true?"

"That is a matter for Flame-Chasing Moth's upper management. How would I know if you ask me?"

"..."

One reporter after another raised their hands to ask questions.

Bianca stood there tall and graceful, gentle and refined, yet her answers were flawless and watertight.

The sound of camera shutters rang out from time to time.

Fortunately, the flashes had been turned off. There was no need for them.

Therefore.

One could only say that the atmosphere was there.

But things had not gone too far.

However.

At that moment.

A young reporter stood up.

His eyes gleamed, his expression full of vigor.

"Doctor Bianca, regarding the love-hate entanglement between you and Doctor Mobius mentioned by the Heavenly Curtain, is it true? Could you tell us a little more?"

"It's fake. All of it is fake!"

Bianca said resolutely.

"The doctor and I only have a working relationship, along with some friendship. There are no improper feelings between us. I have a husband, and I love him very much. My child is adorable too, understand?"

"Oh~" The reporter looked thoughtful.

So.

People were actually quite contradictory.

Even now, there were still many people who sometimes believed the Heavenly Curtain, and sometimes did not.

They were completely in a state of believing and doubting at the same time.

Mention Honkai...

I don't believe it.

Mention unofficial history...
