Archbishop, You Wouldn't Want Me to Dismantle Your Wife's Stigmata, Would You?

Just as Beichen had expected, Otto keenly noticed something unusual and began questioning him about it.

If he couldn't answer that question, a lot of suspicious details would be dug up...

What kind of lie should he use to conceal the truth at a time like this?

Beichen frowned and thought for a moment before coming up with an idea.

"I have a friend who works at this game company, so I know some insider information."

"Oh? It seems your connections are quite extensive."

"Hahaha, not really, not really. Enough about that—watch me take down this boss!"

After brushing Otto off, Beichen began controlling Ri Duck to fight the corrupted Bronya.

Before the main story was revamped, Dark Bronya could be called a newbie's nightmare.

She not only had flashbang stuns, but also special abilities like stealth ambushes.

Her ultimate, a full-screen bombardment, was even more lethal.

Of course, that was all in the past.

Beichen entered with a QTE, then used normal attacks to fill the combo gauge. Once it was full, he charged up energy and immediately unleashed his ultimate.

Then the motorcycle transformed from Project Bunny slammed into the ground, and Dark Bronya fell...

As the clear animation appeared, the atmosphere in the Live Stream became subtle...

When Bronya became corrupted, nearly everyone had been shocked.

After all, a teammate suddenly turning against them and receiving a corruption boost was unusual no matter how they looked at it.

Yet the reality was that the boss hadn't even lasted a single round...

"Eh? What just happened? I thought there'd be a fierce battle next. Streamer big brother, you're amazing..."

Because of your stream, Loves Bronya felt shocked. You received 560 Crystal!

Only after a long while did a comment from Seele drift through the Live Stream...

"Hahaha, as long as you understand the game's mechanics, clearing it is easy. Even if I switched to The Starter Trio for this boss, I could still clear it."

After replying with a smile, Beichen watched the cutscene.

Inside the Moonlight Throne's main control room, Mei helped the defeated Bronya to her feet.

Himeko connected to the battleship's communications and pressed for an explanation of what had just happened.

At that moment, Bronya said she hoped to undergo a full examination after returning to the academy.

Bronya didn't want to hold everyone back in any way.

After the cutscene ended, Beichen looked at his Crystal count and realized he had saved enough for two Ten-Pulls.

"What are you planning to stream next? Are you continuing the main story?"

A comment from Durandal drifted through the Live Stream.

Beichen considered it, then gave a negative answer:

"No, no, no. Next, I'm going to pull from the equipment banner."

With that, he opened the Precision Supply page.

Looking at the weapons displayed on the page, everyone in the Live Stream was somewhat confused.

Durandal, who didn't understand the game at all, asked, "Will pulling from the equipment banner help you a lot?"

"Of course," Beichen, a veteran Captain, began thoughtfully explaining the game. "Because this is Ri Duck's banner, the rate-up equipment includes her Signature Weapon, the Key of Reason, as well as her exclusive Stigmata, Welt Yang."

"Once she has her Signature Weapon, Ri Duck's damage will rise to another level. If you're lucky enough to pull her exclusive Stigmata too, Ri Duck will evolve into her complete form."

After Beichen finished explaining, all sorts of comments floated through the Live Stream.

Seeing that the mood had been sufficiently built up, he decided to put on a show.

"Now I'll show everyone a miracle from a Ten-Pull. Do you believe I can get the Signature Weapon in one Ten-Pull?"

"Oh? Where does your confidence come from?" Otto poured cold water on him at the worst possible time. "What if you don't get it?"

"If I don't get the weapon in one Ten-Pull, I'll eat this screen on the spot!"

Bishop, You Wouldn't Want Me to Dismantle Your Wife's Stigmata, Would You?

"Eat... eat the screen? Streamer big brother... you can't eat screens, can you?"

Hearing Beichen make such a vicious oath, Seele immediately said she couldn't understand it:

"You'll get sick if you eat it!"

"Is getting sick really the point..."

Otto stared at the comment from an unknown sender and suddenly felt puzzled. What kind of people were in this Live Stream?

It felt like they had absolutely no common language.

"By common knowledge, swallowing foreign objects such as mobile phones greatly increases the mortality rate." Fu Hua's comment drifted across the screen.

"Yes, it seems this viewer understands."

Otto sighed. At last, someone could keep up with his thinking.

It wasn't easy to find one among a group of such strange people...

He then said to Beichen, "I can treat what you just said as a joke if you regret it now. Of course, if you insist on it, I have no objection."

"Hahaha, it seems this viewer has already decided I won't pull it?"

"When you opened the probability page and browsed the details earlier, I had already memorized all the equipment rates in this banner and calculated them."

Otto spoke as though victory were already in his grasp.

Calculations of this level were nothing to him. A single glance was enough for him to work out the result mentally.

And the result of that mental calculation was that the probability of getting rate-up equipment from only one Ten-Pull was extremely low.

To Otto, any probability below ten percent was gambling.

Where did this guy called "Midair Split Cleaning Lady" get his confidence?

"If you find that offensive, I don't care. I'm merely stating the facts, without a shred of personal emotion."

"Heh, what a statement of fact! How about we make a bet?"

Seeing Otto take the bait, Beichen chuckled and began improvising.

Honestly, whether it came out or not didn't matter much.

Streamers were just fooling around for tips anyway. No one was really going to eat a screen, right?

So if Dawei blessed him, he would definitely earn a wave of donations.

And if Dawei didn't bless him... he could just laugh it off and call it entertainment.

"What are we betting on?" Otto, not understanding the situation, became interested.

"If I really pull off a miracle in one Ten-Pull, then send me a donation. As for how much? Whatever~"

Beichen said with a smile.

However, once Otto's comment floated past—"Heh, then let me warn you: if you go back on your word, I have plenty of ways to make you fulfill your promise. I mean what I say."—he could no longer smile...

Damn it, why was Archbishop Otto such a rigid person?

You weren't actually going to make him do it for real, were you?

Come on, man, even you knew eating a phone could kill someone!

As Beichen looked at Archbishop Otto's declaration that he meant what he said, he couldn't understand why this person was taking a livestream so seriously.

At this point, there was no turning back.

Beichen took a deep breath, opened the Precision Supply interface, and pressed the Ten-Pull button.

"Dawei! Give me a miracle, Dawei!"

"Sacrifice the villa for a miracle!"

"Come on, give me the weapon!"

As the supply animation appeared, Beichen's heart nearly leaped into his throat.

But as one, two, three, then four blue skies and white clouds appeared, the hand pressing the screen came to a stop...

Dawei was completely useless after all!

Trash Dawei!

Damn... My luck was actually this bad today? I clearly washed my hands before leaving...

Just as Beichen was feeling depressed, someone smugly asked, "Why did you stop?"

"Stop nagging! I'm gathering lucky energy, understand? Watch, the next one will be purple!"

As he spoke, Beichen tapped the screen.

It was purple!

But it was a Stigmata...

"Fuck!!!"

Beichen couldn't hold it in and cursed aloud.

As everyone knew, in MiHoYo games, the experiences of lucky players and unlucky players were worlds apart.

Lucky players often got several purples in one Ten-Pull, landing the rate-up item in a single try.

Unlucky players... usually got one purple from a Ten-Pull, consumed the pity, and got nothing else.

So whether this round would likely be the former or the latter, those who knew, knew.

However, just as Beichen was heartbroken, a thoughtful comment drifted across the Live Stream screen: "Streamer big brother... your voice sounds really scary. Is this Stigmata called Kallen not good?"

That was a double hit...

Looking at the Kallen (M) Stigmata displayed on the screen, Beichen was so angry that he laughed:

"Kallen, seriously? I'm done... One thousand Stigmata Resonance, here I come. Fuck—"

"Kallen?!"

Because of your stream, Your Great Inventor felt shocked. You received 740 Crystal!

Unlike Beichen's pessimistic attitude, Otto's delight was practically overflowing from the screen:

"Ah! I never expected to see Kallen in this game! This is so precious. The artwork for this Stigmata is truly exquisite! It must be a rare collector's item!"

Looking at the Bishop's comment, Beichen became one hundred percent certain that this person was Archbishop Otto.

This was ridiculous. The system kept urging him not to reveal his identity, while the people in the Live Stream kept exposing theirs.

Were they not even going to try to hide it...

"Viewer, please calm down. I have to tell you that this Stigmata is utterly useless. It's just filler in the game..."

As an old Honkai Impact 3rd Captain, Beichen naturally wouldn't miss this chance to pour cold water on Archbishop Otto.

Besides, after finally spending one Ten-Pull, this was what he got?

Even Buddha would be angry!

"What?! What is wrong with this game's developers? Kallen's Stigmata is actually weak! If I were designing it..."

As Kallen's unwavering admirer for centuries, Otto couldn't accept the fact that a Stigmata designed after his beloved was actually weak...

If he had a way to hack into the game or take control of it right then, he would definitely tear this Stigmata's design apart and remake it from scratch!!!

"Then you'll have to ask them. Anyway... I'll most likely dismantle this Stigmata later. I'm telling you now so you won't object when the time comes."

Beichen added fuel to the fire with a faint trace of malicious amusement.
