Background / History
Beichen operates the Live Stream while playing Honkai Impact 3rd, using its story stages and CGs as the broadcast's central content. Early broadcasts let viewers question him directly about characters and future plot developments, while on-screen bullet comments begin increasing in number 2.
The Live Stream initially has a sparse audience. When Durandal leaves, Beichen asks the System why no new viewers have joined; it explains that growth normally depends on invitations from existing viewers, though Beichen may use a limited number of random invitations 47.
The platform becomes a conduit through which its audience witnesses events tied to Kiana's life. Durandal later reveals that she had learned of Kiana's experiences over the previous year by watching the livestream room, then encourages Kiana herself to enter and follow Mei's story 402.
