Live Stream Honkai Impact 3rd, I Choose to Expose Kiana in Arc City! Chapter 5

Rita smiled and teased, "Hehe. If our captain were to lose her composure over a man, that would mean she's truly grown up."

After eating in the employee cafeteria, Beichen returned to the dormitory to shower and change clothes.

Lying on his plain bed, he calculated how to sneak in some time during work to livestream games on his phone.

There was no helping it—the revenue from game streaming was simply too high. Giving it up casually would be a waste.

Besides, there wasn't much going on lately. It was just repairing the Schicksal Airport facilities that Kiana had destroyed earlier.

Archbishop Otto was busy with other matters now and had no time to supervise.

This was the perfect chance to stream properly!

Hmm... His account still had a few thousand Crystals. Tomorrow during the stream, he'd pull on the weapon banner to get Ri Duck's signature weapon.

Even though a single ten-pull on the weapon banner was a bit of a stretch, as long as he got the drop, it'd be fine.

For a newbie account, having a strong character plus useful Stigmata support made the experience of clearing stages worlds apart.

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

Meanwhile, at Schicksal Airport.

A heroic golden-haired Valkyrie pushed open the door to the Archbishop's office.

"Your Grace."

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

A golden-haired man sat at a computer desk, rapidly tapping the keyboard to control it. On the screen, one classified file after another flashed by like a blur.

The man's gaze flickered between these documents.

He was so focused that he didn't even spare a glance at Durandal by the door. Only after he had finished a basic review of all the information did he belatedly turn his head to look at the woman who had remained silent.

He let out a long sigh and asked slowly, "Why aren't you speaking? If you have nothing to say, then you may leave."

As Schicksal Archbishop, he was extremely busy, with countless matters to handle inside and out.

Kiana in Arc City also needed constant attention, so he had no time to waste.

Durandal understood this as well, so she stepped forward slowly. "Actually... I suspect I've discovered another Herrscher."

At those words, Otto's hands, busy with work, stopped.

Another Herrscher?

"As far as I recall, you're not one for jokes, Durandal."

Otto finally took Durandal's visit seriously. He looked up and stared straight at the captain of the Immortal Blades. "Report everything you know to me now. Based on the veracity of this intelligence, I will take measures."

Chapter 7: Welt, is this the little girl who earned your recognition?

The next day, as soon as Beichen woke up, he went to his desk and began writing an engineering report on the Schicksal-issued laptop.

This computer could connect to Schicksal Headquarters' local network, since he was a basic engineering staff member.

Thus, he only had permission to report work progress and receive tasks.

He had to admit, this method of issuing work content was pure black tech—it directly cut out the minor supervisors, with the central computer hub coordinating and distributing everything.

And the one who created this system was none other than Schicksal Archbishop Otto himself.

A true Great Inventor of the Honkai, well-deserved.

While thinking these thoughts, Beichen reported his work progress on the computer.

Soon, the central computer updated the repair progress using intelligent recognition technology.

At the end, a line of text appeared on the screen: [Task completed excellently. Monthly bonus +300 yuan. Keep up the good work.] It showed the monthly bonus had increased again.

Beichen stared at the reward notification on the screen and couldn't help clapping his hands in praise:

"Schicksal is really generous. No wonder it's a long-established big company."

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

A conscientious company that regularly increased bonuses without being stingy and paid salaries on time was the dream of any worker.

Of course, the only slightly disappointing part was that the job came with life-threatening risks...

After completing the task report, Beichen skillfully opened the task notification and retrieved today's repair work content.

Then he washed his face, brushed his teeth, changed into his work uniform, went to the warehouse, picked up his repair tools, and started working.

After about an hour or two, when the equipment needing repair was mostly finished and only the final touches remained, Beichen took out his phone and prepared to stream some games.

[Stream started.]

[Beginning push... Push successful.]

[Host has started streaming. Please observe livestream etiquette and stream civilly.]

As soon as he entered the game, Beichen noticed his stamina was full.

Knowing full well the preciousness of early-game stamina, he wasted no time diving straight into clearing stages and progressing through the story.

After passing a few stages, a notification popped up in the livestream.

[Welcome Loves Bronya Most, Effort Pays Off, Today's Performance Is Not Perfect, Your Great Inventor has joined the livestream.]

"Good morning, big brother!"

"Oh, good morning, good morning." Watching the bullet comments drift across the stream, Beichen asked, "Up this early to watch the stream, huh? Have you had breakfast?"

"Ate with my sister, thanks for asking."

"Here, this is Ri Duck, the one you were clamoring to know about yesterday."

Beichen skillfully controlled Bronya to take down the minor mobs spawning in the stage, while explaining Ri Duck's skill characteristics to the audience.

Despite the rather dry narration, this viewer—who looked just like Seele and could almost certainly be confirmed as Seele herself—listened with great interest, sending one amazed bullet comment after another, nearly flooding the screen.

However, Beichen didn't mind this viewer's loss of composure.

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

This viewer's ID was Your Great Inventor...

Could it be Bishop Otto?

No way it's that much of a coincidence!

I'm slacking off at work to stream, and my boss just happens to walk into the livestream?

Beichen thought the probability of such an event was extremely low, but... he couldn't rule it out entirely.

After all, these viewers in the livestream all seemed pretty strange.

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

And this Today's Performance Is Not Perfect... one look and it's clear, identified as Fu Hua. If Shishi had come in too, her ID would probably be: "Today's Performance Is F**king Perfect!"

So, this Honkai Impact 3rd game livestream system not only had the feature of requiring game streaming but also attracted Honkai characters to watch the stream as viewers?

As Beichen thought about it, he felt his head spinning.

"Why did you stop talking?"

Just as he was feeling baffled, wondering if this system was deliberately messing with him, the new viewer who had just entered the livestream, Your Great Inventor, spoke up.

"Cough, was just thinking about something."

Watching the bullet comment drift across the stream, Beichen broke out in a cold sweat.

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

Was the Schicksal Archbishop, his direct superior?

"Interesting stuff. If I could, I'd really like to dissect myself, just to see if the inside of my body has been modified. Hehe..."

[The host's body has not undergone any mutation. Please refrain from such meaningless attempts.]

"Not meaningless at all. At least I've learned what I wanted to know from you."

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

In the office, there was one other person—the captain of the Immortal Blades, Durandal. She was currently wearing her Valkyrie combat suit, wearing a solemn expression as if ready to fight Honkai Beasts at any moment.

Compared to her tense demeanor, Otto appeared quite relaxed and at ease.

To be honest, if he hadn't received the reply from this voice calling itself the system, he really would have had a spare body preside over the dissection surgery.

But... it didn't matter anymore.

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

[You may, but the system does not recommend it. You bear the consequences of identity exposure.]

Bear the consequences...

What a simple yet persuasive statement.

"Interesting," Otto didn't pursue the topic further, instead focusing his attention on the screen. "This girl named Bronya, I know her."

"Oh? Has the Archbishop taken notice of her?"

"Hehe, after all, she's a pawn Anti-Entropy planted inside our ranks."

Otto not only knew Bronya's background, but even knew: "And I can confirm that she is currently in a comatose state."

Durandal was stunned upon hearing this.

Still in a coma? Then what was being streamed on the game screen... was just purely game footage?

"This..." Durandal covered her face in shame. "How embarrassing. I dragged the Archbishop into this for such a ridiculous reason..."

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

Otto didn't blame Durandal at all; instead, he praised his subordinate.

The wise man would not forget that he had a Herrscher friend in Anti-Entropy—a girl named Bronya Zaychik.

And as it happened, she was a member of Anti-Entropy...

Now, a game of unclear origin revealed that this girl would become a Herrscher in the future?

Was this a prophecy of the future? Or mere coincidence?

Let me get to the bottom of this...

Otto steeled himself, determined to dig up every last detail about this streamer in his mind.

Chapter 8: Seele Wants to Know Who Big DuckDuck Is!

"Splitting Cleaner?"

A bullet comment floated across the live stream.

Beichen focused his eyes—it was from a new viewer. He tensed up slightly. "What's the matter? Does this viewer have something to say?"

He was genuinely worried that the next line from this viewer would be something like: "How dare you slack off during work hours?" or similar.

"This name is quite unique. Was it taken from your work experience?"

Work experience...

Well, sort of? Being a Captain scrubbing decks in a game counted as a job, didn't it?

But speaking of which, if this viewer was Archbishop Otto, he'd have to be careful from now on...

Otto was called the Great Inventor for a reason.

With his intellect, he was definitely trying to fish for information right now.

So...
