Mei Was Left at Home to Manage the Stash Again! / Miss Pink Elf Wants to Come In and Play with Everyone Too!

He was curious—melting down Bishop Otto's beloved's Stigmata right in front of him, wasn't that a little too cruel?

Well... wasn't it rather satisfying?

But unfortunately...

"Heh, what's the point of reminding me of that? I don't really care," Otto's comment said, before suddenly changing tone. "However, I think we should try to develop this Stigmata's potential and turn something useless into something valuable. Don't you think that's interesting?"

"I don't... But, ah, being a streamer is really tough. I barely have any viewers, and nobody sends me donations~ Sigh, I don't even have money left to spend on the game. What a headache~"

"Oh? What are you implying?"

"Nothing, nothing. I don't mean anything else. You wouldn't want me to dismantle this Stigmata, would you?"

Mei Gets Left at Home to Guard the Warehouse Again!

Beichen had wanted to say, You wouldn't want me to dismantle your wife's Stigmata, would you? But considering that he couldn't reveal his real identity, he decided against it.

Ding! Congratulations, streamer! You have received a 10,000-yuan donation from Your Great Inventor!

He was stunned! As expected of the Bishop—what a generous move!

"Hahaha, let's keep pulling. This Stigmata is really nice, really amazing. I'll definitely treasure her properly from now on."

"Yes. Everything related to her should be treasured."

"Sure, sure."

Beichen humored him while continuing to tap through the gacha screen.

The result of the next pull was still blue sky and white clouds...

It left him completely speechless.

At this rate, he was really going to capsize...

"Big Brother Streamer, why did you stop moving again? Is this Stigmata called Huxie also very powerful?"

Seele's comment floated across the Live Stream screen.

Following her prompt, Beichen looked closely and realized that he had pulled Huxie (M), a low-tier Fire Stigmata added after the update.

Come to think of it, this Stigmata had indeed been added in the Version 3.3 update.

This was too ridiculous. He was playing Ri Duck, yet he pulled a low-tier Fire Stigmata?

"No, it's not very useful."

"I see..." Seele seemed a little disappointed.

Beichen was in a bad mood, so he did not waste more words on her. He simply tapped furiously at the screen.

Just as the results screen for this Ten-Pull fully appeared.

A comment happened to drift across the screen: "Looks like a miracle did not descend upon you."

The person who sent that comment was Otto.

Beichen frowned, then suddenly brightened up.

Because during the final pull while he had been tapping wildly, he remembered seeing a flash of purple on the screen.

He had assumed it was some sort of chip or enhancement material, some useless supply item meant to fool him.

But to his surprise... the page clearly displayed a white heavy cannon!

Key of Reason

"It dropped! Ahahaha, Dawei is really something!"

Beichen tapped the screen and stared at the weapon description for the Key of Reason in delight.

A cannon constructed by Bronya using the Herrscher of Reason's power. Not only could it be mounted on Project Bunny's shoulders as its primary weapon, but it could also float independently in the air to assist its owner. The Herrscher of Reason's power of construction originally required understanding accumulated over time, yet Bronya was able to construct such a highly completed cannon in a short period. Perhaps it was because she was already intimately familiar with battlefields and weaponry.

As the icon for the purple weapon appeared on the supply screen, everyone in the Live Stream was stunned.

"You actually pulled it..." Otto was at a loss for words.

"Wow, Big Brother Streamer, is this the Signature Weapon you mentioned? It looks so cool!" Seele sent a comment, extremely curious about how powerful Bronya's Signature Weapon really was.

"Hahaha, that's right, this is it! Look at the weapon stats. Doesn't it fit the character perfectly?"

Beichen reminded her rather proudly.

Besides having special effects when used by their designated characters, Signature Weapons had weapon performance and stat bonuses that matched those characters exceptionally well.

That was precisely why such weapons were especially valuable. A character plus her weapon would naturally achieve more than one plus one equaled two.

"Oh... I don't really understand."

"It's fine. I'll show you how it works in actual combat later, and you'll get it. But next... is the boss still here?"

Since he had gotten a good pull, Beichen felt that someone had to show some appreciation!

Although Otto had already donated, who would ever complain about having too much money? The more, the better, right?

"...What is it?"

"I got a good pull, didn't I? Who was it that made a bet with me just now?"

"Hehe, this time, let's say the Goddess of Fortune was on your side. But next time, you won't be so lucky."

After Otto said that, he hesitated for a while.

Then the system notification sounded.

Ding! Congratulations, streamer! You have received a 10,000-yuan donation from Your Great Inventor!

"Hahaha, boss, you're so generous!"

Beichen grinned so widely that he could barely close his mouth.

He had to admit that the Schicksal Archbishop really was loaded. He threw out ten thousand at a time without even hesitating!

If Otto stayed in the Live Stream, Beichen could think of plenty of ways to coax donations out of him.

"This little money is not worth mentioning. Continue the game. I am very curious about its content now."

Seeing Otto's urging comment, Beichen snapped back to his senses and realized that he had wasted too much time on the gacha.

It was best to level up quickly while he still had beginner stamina, so that he could enter the Abyss early and earn Crystals.

"All right. Next, I'll strengthen the characters and equipment first."

Beichen opened the character screen and began equipping and upgrading his main team.

Since he had not pulled many characters, the only ones he could currently use were the Starter Trio—White Comet, Crimson Impulse, and Chariot—plus the newly acquired Ri Duck.

Of these four characters, he could only train three.

Normally, in a situation like this, one character had to be kicked out and left in the warehouse.

So who should he kick out?

Beichen fell into deep thought...

When the streamer stopped talking, the Live Stream, which already had few viewers, immediately fell silent.

A moment later, Seele asked, "Big Brother Streamer? Why aren't you talking again?"

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about who I should remove from a three-person team."

"Eh? Remove... remove? Does that mean driving someone out? No... that sounds so cruel..."

Seele was still living in Cocolia's orphanage with Bronya and the others. To her, the phrase "kick out" meant being directly expelled.

So when she thought about the possibility of her big sister Bronya being kicked out, she became very afraid...

"Ah, no, no, no. You're overthinking it. This game isn't designed to do anything to the characters. Kicking someone out just means leaving her in the warehouse and ignoring her."

"Oh, so that's what it means... Then who are you planning to kick out, Big Brother?" Seele asked nervously.

If he was going to kick out her beloved big sister Bronya, she definitely had a few things to say.

But as it turned out, she had worried for nothing.

"Who else could it be? When in doubt, kick Mei out~"

Afterward, Beichen raised the levels of Ri Duck, White Comet, and Chariot, then upgraded their weapons and equipment.

The team composition was: Ri Duck as captain, with White Comet and Chariot as support.

After finishing the upgrades, Beichen took the three-person team to start clearing maps.

Leaving poor Mei, at level 1 with a level 1 weapon, behind in the warehouse to guard the house...

Beichen's actions were baffling.

Even Seele, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, could not understand it. "Big Brother Streamer, do you have something against this big sister named Mei? Why did you leave only her behind?"

Miss Pink Elf Also Wants to Come In and Play with Everyone!

"Eh? Something against her? I don't have anything against her."

"Then why did you leave only this big sister behind?" Seele's little head was filled with questions.

After all, she was still unfamiliar with Honkai Impact 3rd.

Beichen knew that, so he did not think much of it and answered casually, "Because she's not very useful. Crimson Impulse's damage gets completely crushed by Ri Duck."

"Oh..."

After Seele's half-understanding comment floated past, the Live Stream became quiet again.

The Chapter 2 story cutscene played silently, making the atmosphere feel rather bleak.

Beichen did not want his Live Stream to go cold so quickly, so he continued explaining based on what they had just been discussing.

"Also, White Comet can trigger Chariot's QTE, and Chariot's ultimate can gather enemies together. The support effects of these two starter characters are better than Crimson Impulse's."

Taking the opportunity to stretch his limbs, he continued speaking to Seele.

"I'll demonstrate the actual combat results for you later. For now, focus on watching the story cutscene."

Then the screen showed a battleship hovering at the harbor, accompanied by Himeko's narration.

After returning to St. Freya Academy, Bronya was sent for a comprehensive examination.

"A comprehensive examination!? Is big sister Bronya okay?" Seele's comment drifted across the screen.

"Looks like you weren't paying close attention to the previous chapter's cutscene. Didn't she request it herself?"

"Oh! Oh... Sorry, I got a little nervous. (*?▽?*)."

After that little exchange with Seele, the game cutscene happened to reach the part where the annual Valkyrie Exam was approaching.

The atmosphere in the classroom grew tense, and the daily combat training continued to intensify.

As Himeko narrated this part, the screen happened to show a woman with a ponytail, red-framed glasses, and a white-and-blue Valkyrie uniform.

Beichen recognized her at once. She was Fu Hua.

Yet the two people with the strongest reactions were the other two viewers in the Live Stream.

"Hm? This is..." Otto's comment drifted across the screen. "I never expected..."

He truly had not expected that the woman who had personally told him not long ago, "Azure Empyrea, I was not lying," would also appear in this game.

By analyzing the cutscene and the game's content, Otto could determine that this was the story of Fu Hua's time undercover at St. Freya Academy.

How interesting... my old friend, let me see exactly how you went undercover...

At the same time, the other person who was utterly shocked also sent a comment.

"Who is this person?"

Beichen checked the commenter's ID and saw that it was Today's Performance Was Not Perfect.

In other words, it was Fu Hua herself...
