Live Stream Honkai Impact 3rd, I Choose to Expose Kiana in Arc City!

Author: Recovering from Injuries

Synopsis:

After transmigrating into the Honkai world, Beichen became a Schicksal Temporary Worker. The pay was decent, and as long as he did not die, he could keep working forever.

He had planned to live off Schicksal for the rest of his life and retire in the Honkai world. Then one day, Otto captured Kiana, Theresa led people in to fight back, and the Queen awakened.

Beichen had narrowly escaped death, then immediately threw himself into post-disaster reconstruction. As the workload steadily increased, he began worrying about his future.

He had thought his life would continue like this, but then—ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Honkai Impact 3rd Game Livestream System! The system had arrived!

"So I can get draws and rewards by livestreaming Honkai Impact 3rd? Fine, from now on, I'll livestream myself playing Honkai in the Honkai world every day!"

But as his livestreaming career flourished, he suddenly discovered that the viewers in his Live Stream... were not simple.

Herrscher of Food Mei, Ever-Unbeaten Bronya, Eternal Green Otto Bishop... Miss Pink Elf, Eternal Maiden, and so on.

When he woke up one day, the Live Stream was actually full of Herrschers!

Oh, as long as I don't expose myself, we're good? Then no problem.

So Beichen calmly played the game. Before he knew it, he had exposed every move Kiana made in Chang Kong City and Arc City.

Volume One

Schicksal Temporary Worker, Livestreaming Honkai Impact 3rd in the Honkai World

"Technician Beichen, welcome to Hyperion Airport."

"I, Rita, welcome you on behalf of Archbishop Otto. Let us work together to protect humanity's future!"

At the breached entrance to Hyperion Airport, Beichen was welding facilities damaged by the Herrscher of the Void. The noon sun was unbearably hot, and he could not help taking off his hard hat to fan himself. As a cool breeze swept over him, he recalled the welcome Rita had offered with a smile when he first joined Hyperion Airport. That maid's sweet smile and pleasant voice had truly made it impossible not to like her.

Of course, what little fondness he had felt had mostly faded after not seeing her for so many days.

Who could have imagined that he would wake up in the Honkai world after properly staying home in quarantine? The key was that he had transmigrated with absolutely nothing. He had possessed some unlucky guy who had just graduated and was practically unemployed, so he could only look for work everywhere to survive. Then one day, he saw a recruitment ad posted on a utility pole. After following the contact information to an agency, he soon came face-to-face with Archbishop Otto and that housewife-like face of his!

Oh, damn it. To hell with that green bastard!

As a max-level veteran Captain, Beichen naturally knew what plotlines he would experience working for Schicksal.

Unfortunately, the benefits for a Schicksal Temporary Worker were simply too good. Compared to a sweatshop, it came with full insurance and housing benefits, a five-day workweek with two days off, and almost no education requirements. As long as you did not die, you could keep working as long as you wanted.

Of course, even good benefits came in tiers. He had neither skills nor connections, so he did work that was basically welding. After a simple Schicksal Temporary Worker training course, he began working himself to the bone every day. So far, there had not been the slightest sign of a promotion or raise.

Sigh... not long ago, the Last Lesson storyline had just ended. When Kiana transformed into the Herrscher of the Void and led Honkai Beasts and Bebedragon to smash, burn, and trample Hyperion Airport, he had been lucky enough to escape disaster.

But dangers like that would only become more frequent. At this rate, when the hell would he get promoted, receive a raise, save enough for retirement, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of life?

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Honkai Impact 3rd Game Livestream System!

"Huh?" Beichen stopped fanning himself and looked around in confusion. "Did I just hear the system's voice?"

That's right.

!!?

Beichen stood dumbfounded, so shocked by the sudden good news that he could not speak.

Who would have thought that his golden finger had not awakened when the Queen descended, but awakened now, when he was complaining about having no hope of a promotion or raise?

This was truly beyond f***ing words...

Beichen put his hard hat back on and asked the system in his mind, "This sounds ridiculous, but since you've bound yourself to me, can you tell me what you do?"

The host may obtain Crystals by livestreaming Honkai Impact 3rd. Crystals may be used to draw prizes. Prizes include cash rewards and special abilities.

Oh, livestreaming games to get rewards? But it was limited to Honkai Impact 3rd, meaning there would be no system gains from streaming other games?

Forget it. Playing games was playing games no matter what. Being able to play Honkai in the Honkai world was certainly a novel experience.

There were just a few more questions.

Who was I streaming to?

The system will project the livestream content to highly special viewers on its own.

How long could I stream each day?

There is no time limit, but Crystal rewards can only be obtained through tips, causing emotional fluctuations in viewers, and similar methods.

Could I reveal my real personal information?

You may, but the system does not recommend doing so. Any consequences caused by the host's personal actions must be borne by the host.

"So if I reveal my real name and address, then get hunted down and killed, there's no protection for me? Livestreaming is life-threatening these days... But as long as the Crystals come in, everything's negotiable."

Beichen looked at the steel plate he had nearly finished welding, then took out his phone and asked the system whether he needed to use it for the livestream. He received an affirmative answer.

The game has been successfully installed. The host may begin playing by tapping it.

"Then let's start the stream. I finished work early today, so I have about two hours of free time."

Beichen tapped the familiar Honkai Impact 3rd app icon.

Livestream started.

Beginning push notification... push successful.

The host has begun livestreaming. Please observe livestream etiquette and maintain a civilized stream.

Along with the system prompts—

What appeared before him was the cutscene from the current version of the game.

On a dim city street, a bleak drizzle fell as a helpless girl hugged her shoulders and shivered in the rain.

She sensed something and suddenly turned around to look behind her.

Under the pale streetlights, the single eyes of three shield-bearing Honkai Beasts glowed with an eerie purple light as they leaped down from an overpass and charged toward the girl.

With danger upon her, she turned and ran, but the Honkai Beasts had already closed in within an instant.

Then the screen went black...

The gentle crackling of wind fanning flames sounded out. The girl opened her eyes to find the street before her ablaze. Faintly, space seemed to shatter like a mirror, and a red figure from the past slowly approached through the flames.

The girl's azure eyes moistened...

"Kiana, what are you waiting for?"

As Himeko-sensei's words fell, her figure turned into sparks and gradually disappeared...

Cutscene synopsis: At the end of her journey of self-exile, the girl finally awakened.

"Himeko-sensei... I won't run away anymore."

After the cutscene ended came the all-too-familiar bridge login screen.

Recalling that familiar cutscene, Beichen realized that the current game version was one of the transition versions before Sky Dome Meteor. At this point, DuckDuck had only just accepted the Herrscher Core and become the Herrscher of Reason, while Mei had yet to become a Herrscher.

This segment of the story could be considered particularly oppressive and dark, but it was also a period Kiana had to go through before becoming Firefly.

Thinking about it, had it already been so long since she caused chaos at Schicksal Headquarters?

Beichen turned his phone sideways and began playing Honkai Impact 3rd within the Honkai world.

This experience was truly novel. In his lifetime, he could actually play games in a game world—and even livestream it.

He truly did not know whether those viewers would find it novel or terrifying when they saw that the game on the livestream overlapped so closely with the world they lived in...

As Beichen grinded through the game, he glanced at the floating livestream status window. Seeing the pitifully small viewer count made him frown.

Suddenly, a livestream notification appeared on the screen.

Welcome Loves Bronya, Effort Pays Off, and Today's Performance Is Not Perfect to the Live Stream.

Seele, Durandal, Fu Hua?

Though he did not want to recognize them at a glance, those viewers' IDs... were they generated automatically by the system?

"System, are you insulting the intelligence of a veteran Captain?"

No. Why would the host say that?

"I seem to remember you advising me not to reveal my information? Then what's with these viewers' IDs? You might as well have directly copied and pasted their names with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V."

That was not my intention. If the host has questions, please ask.

"Can I directly expose the viewers' real identities, or reveal my own identity?"

The system has already given its answer. The host bears all consequences.

Bear all consequences...

How much danger was hidden behind those words?

Beichen considered it. If this Live Stream could pull characters from the Honkai world into the livestream to watch it, then livestreaming while slacking off during work hours would be equivalent to slacking off right in front of Schicksal's big boss Otto, as well as executives like Rita and Durandal...

Even several lives would not be enough for him to squander like that, would they?

After thinking it through, Beichen silently said, "So hiding both the viewers' identities and my own is basically protecting myself?"

This is an option recommended by the system.

"Fine, I'll do as you say."

With the arrival of the new viewers, the number of comments in the Live Stream finally made the leap from zero to one.

A neatly written white comment drifted past.

"Was that the Captain just now... no, was it an illusion? Whose figure was it that vanished into the night?"

Yeah, This Game Is Called Honkai Impact 3rd. Is There a Problem?

The Live Stream finally had comments, but Beichen could not bring himself to be happy.

After all, though he had watched livestreams in his previous life, this was his first time actually trying to stream himself. It was a little embarrassing to say, but...

What was he supposed to do next?

Beichen recalled how the streamers in his memories operated.

He cleared his throat, then laughed brightly at his phone. "Welcome, everyone, to my Live Stream. I am..." He suddenly remembered the system's warning, so he casually said, "A rookie streamer, a cleaner doing splits in midair."

The Live Stream fell silent...

Beichen covered his forehead, figuring that everyone in the Live Stream probably did not understand the joke behind that name.

But the water had already been spilled. He could only settle into the role of a streamer.

"Ahem, the one who disappeared into the rainy night just now..."

As he said that, he could not help recalling the brief time spent with Himeko-sensei.

When they first met, her mature, alluring aura had been truly captivating. Though her words showed no mercy, she still cared about her students. That little tsundere side made her seem even more adorably girlish. While Himeko-sensei was still around, Kiana, Mei, and the others had only been low-ranking Valkyries. Back then, they had truly been carefree, with every gesture brimming with the mischief and vitality unique to young girls.

He had thought those leisurely school days would continue forever...

Who could have imagined that when Kiana was on the verge of completely losing control, Himeko-sensei would step forward?

She gave that student she so often bickered with her final lesson...

And in the near future, when Kiana completed her transformation, she would surely understand just how great her teacher truly was...

Not long after the Eleventh Honkai Eruption ended.

Hua, who was about to be transferred to the Far East, sat in the corner of the bare room she had arranged for herself, hugging her knees. Most of her attention was focused on the livestream image in her mind.

She believed this was a special training program designed by Moth Chasing Fire for the surviving thirteen Fusion Warriors, who had been given the name Thirteen Flame-Chasers, after the Fusion Warrior units were disbanded.

At first, she paid it no mind and merely watched the cutscene in the livestream quietly.

But when that red figure appeared, Hua's heart suddenly trembled.
