Walter, is this the young girl who earned your approval? / Seele says she wants to know who the big duck is!

Rita smiled and teased, "Hehe. If our captain ever became distracted over a man, that would mean she had truly grown up."

Beichen returned to his dorm after finishing his meal at the Staff Canteen, then took a shower and changed clothes.

Lying on his plain bed, he pondered how to squeeze in some time to live stream games on his phone while working.

He had no choice. The profits from live streaming games were simply too high; giving them up so casually would be a waste.

Besides, there had not been anything major lately. At most, he just needed to repair the Hyperion Airport facilities Kiana had damaged before.

Archbishop Otto was busy with other matters right now and had no time to supervise him at all.

This was the perfect chance to stream properly!

Hmm... There were still several thousand Crystals on the account. Tomorrow, he would pull the weapon banner for Ri Duck's Signature Weapon.

Although using a single ten-pull on the weapon banner was a bit of a stretch, it would be fine as long as he got something good.

For a new account, having powerful characters and useful Stigmata support made the experience of clearing stages worlds apart.

With that in mind, Beichen yawned and fell into a deep sleep...

Meanwhile, at Hyperion Airport.

A valiant blonde Valkyrie pushed open the door to the Bishop's office.

"Lord Bishop."

"What is it, Durandal? Shouldn't you be diligently honing your combat skills in the training room right now? Have you come to report something at this hour?"

A blond man sat before his computer desk, rapidly tapping away at the keyboard. One classified document after another flashed across the screen.

His gaze moved between those documents.

He was so focused that he did not even spare Durandal, standing at the doorway, a proper glance. Only after he had finished reviewing most of the information did he belatedly turn toward the woman, who had remained silent.

He let out a long breath and slowly asked, "Why are you not speaking? If you have nothing to say, then leave."

As the Schicksal Bishop, he was extremely busy. There were countless matters to handle inside and out.

He also needed to keep a close eye on Kiana in Arc City, so he had no time to waste.

Durandal understood that as well and slowly stepped forward. "Actually... I may have discovered another Herrscher."

As those words fell, Otto's hands, which had been busy with work, stopped.

Another Herrscher?

"In my impression, you are not someone who likes to joke around, Durandal."

Otto finally took Durandal's visit seriously. He raised his head and stared directly at the captain of the Immortal Blades. "Report everything you know to me now. I will take measures based on the reliability of this information."

Welt, Is This Little Girl the One Who Earned Your Approval?

The next day, Beichen woke up and immediately sat at his desk, writing an engineering report on the laptop issued by Schicksal.

This computer could connect to the internal network at Schicksal Headquarters. Since he was only a basic-level engineer—

he only had the authority to report work progress and accept assignments.

He had to admit, this method of assigning work was truly high-tech. It directly eliminated the need for minor supervisors, with the computer core coordinating and distributing everything.

And the person who had created this system was none other than Schicksal Archbishop Otto.

The Great Inventor of Honkai truly lived up to his name.

Thinking about this, Beichen reported his work progress through the computer.

Very quickly, the central computer used intelligent recognition technology to update the repair progress.

At the end, a line appeared on the screen: Outstanding task completion. Monthly bonus +300 yuan. Please keep up the good work. His monthly bonus had increased again.

Beichen stared at the reward notification on the screen and could not help clapping in praise.

"Schicksal really is generous. As expected of a major company with such a long history."

That was one of the main reasons he had chosen to work at Schicksal in the first place.

A conscientious company that raised bonuses from time to time, was not stingy, and paid salaries on schedule was practically every worker's dream.

Of course, the one slightly unsatisfactory part was that the job could cost him his life...

After submitting his task report, Beichen skillfully opened the assignment notice and checked today's repair work.

Then he washed his face, brushed his teeth, changed into his work clothes, went to the warehouse for repair tools, and began working.

About an hour or two later, after most of the equipment that needed repairs had been fixed and only the finishing touches remained, Beichen took out his phone and prepared to stream some games.

Live stream started.

Beginning push notifications... Push successful.

The host has begun streaming. Please observe Live Stream etiquette and maintain civilized conduct.

The moment he entered the game, Beichen discovered that his stamina was full.

Knowing how valuable stamina was in the early stages of the game, he immediately began clearing stages and progressing through the story.

After clearing several story stages, a notification popped up in the Live Stream.

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

"Good morning, big brother!"

"Oh, good, good, good." Watching the comments scroll through the Live Stream, Beichen asked, "You got up this early to watch the stream? Have you eaten breakfast?"

"I ate with my sister. Thank you for asking."

"Here, this is the Ri Duck you kept asking about yesterday."

Beichen skillfully controlled Bronya to deal with the small monsters appearing in the stage while explaining Ri Duck's skill characteristics to the viewers.

Although it was a rather dry explanation, the viewer who looked strikingly like Seele—and could almost certainly be Seele herself—listened with great interest. One amazed comment after another flew by, nearly flooding the screen.

However, Beichen did not pay much attention to that viewer's excitement.

Compared to that, he was more concerned about the new viewer in the Live Stream.

This viewer's ID was Great Inventor...

Could it be Bishop Otto?

It could not be such a coincidence, right?

I slacked off at work to stream a game, and my boss ended up entering the Live Stream?

Beichen felt that the odds of such a thing happening were extremely low, but... he could not guarantee it would not happen.

After all, the viewers in this Live Stream all seemed rather strange.

That Loves Bronya Most was obviously Seele, right? She had to be Seele, right? As for Effort Pays Off... was that not Dumb Goose's catchphrase? It perfectly matched her life philosophy.

And Today's Performance Is Not Perfect... one glance was enough to confirm it was Fu Hua. If Shishi had entered too, her ID would probably be: "Today's Performance Is Fucking Perfect!"

So, besides requiring him to stream games, this Honkai Impact 3rd live streaming system also had the ability to attract Honkai characters as viewers?

The more Beichen thought about it, the more his head hurt.

"Why did you stop talking?"

Just as he was feeling utterly puzzled and wondering whether the system was deliberately messing with him—

Your Great Inventor, the new viewer who had only recently entered the Live Stream, spoke.

"Ahem, I was thinking about something just now."

Watching the comment drift across the Live Stream, cold sweat broke out on Beichen's forehead.

If his guess was correct, then the person currently communicating with him through comments...

was the Schicksal Archbishop, his direct superior?

"Interesting. If possible, I would truly like to dissect myself and see whether the inside of this organism has been modified. Hehe..."

The host's body has not undergone any mutation. Please do not attempt anything so meaningless.

"It is not meaningless. At the very least, I have already learned what I wanted to know from you."

Otto leaned back in his chair, resting his chin on one hand as he spoke with amusement.

There was another person in the office: Durandal, captain of the Immortal Blades. She wore her Valkyrie combat uniform and had a serious expression, as though she were ready to fight Honkai Beasts at any moment.

Compared to her tense appearance, Otto seemed very relaxed.

Honestly, if he had not received an answer from this self-proclaimed system voice, he truly would have had one of his spare bodies conduct a dissection.

But... it did not matter.

The man calmly asked the system in his mind, "Can I reveal my identity?"

You may, but the system does not recommend doing so. You will bear the consequences of exposing your identity yourself.

Bear the consequences himself...

What a simple yet persuasive statement.

"Interesting." Otto did not pursue the subject further and instead focused on the screen. "I know this girl called Bronya."

"Oh? Has Lord Bishop noticed her before?"

"Hehe, after all, she is a piece Anti-Entropy planted within us."

Otto not only knew Bronya's background, he even knew that "she is currently in a coma."

Durandal froze upon hearing that.

She was still in a coma? Then the footage being streamed on the game screen... was simply game footage?

"This..." Durandal covered her face in embarrassment. "How shameful. I actually dragged Lord Bishop into this because of such a ridiculous reason..."

"Hehe, what are you saying, Durandal? You did very well."

Otto did not blame Durandal. Instead, he praised his subordinate.

As wise as he was, he would not forget that he had a Herrscher friend in Anti-Entropy, while this girl named Bronya Zaychik—

just happened to be a member of Anti-Entropy as well...

And now, an inexplicable game was revealing that this girl would become a Herrscher in the future?

Was it predicting the future? Or was it merely a coincidence?

Let me find out properly...

Otto gathered himself, preparing to uncover every last detail about this streamer in his mind.

Seele Wants to Know Who Big DuckDuck Is!

"An aerial-splits janitor?"

A comment drifted through the Live Stream.

Beichen looked closely and realized it had been sent by the new viewer. He immediately became a little nervous. "What is it? Does this viewer have something to say?"

He was genuinely worried that the viewer would suddenly say something like, "How dare you slack off during work hours?"

"This name is unusual. Is it based on your work experience?"

Work experience...

He supposed so? Being a Captain in the game and scrubbing decks counted as work, did it not?

But then again, if this viewer really was Archbishop Otto, he needed to be careful from now on...

Otto was not called the Great Inventor for no reason.

With his intelligence, he was definitely thinking about how to fish for information now.

So...
