When you're playing League of Legends with friends and your girlfriend calls, what do you choose?

Is the game more important, or is your girlfriend more important?

Of course, the game is more important. If you lose your girlfriend, you can focus on playing the game.

That's right, how can a girlfriend be as fun as a game!

"Wait—"

The silver-haired girl reacted extremely quickly, reaching out and pressing on the door, managing to hold it shut and prevent Mo Yi from closing it. Of course, this was also because Mo Yi was only using the strength of an ordinary man. If he had truly exerted himself, he feared he would break the door or injure her.

"Listen to my explanation, I'm not delivering food. I just finished my work and haven't had time to change out of my uniform yet."

"Mm—"

Seeing Mo Yi acknowledge her, the silver-haired girl let go with relief, preparing to talk about her own matters.

"However, I don't need insurance here, nor do I need any training classes or other health products. My water, electricity, and management fees are also never late. I don't need community outreach either. I'm doing perfectly fine on my own. So, let's say goodbye. There's no need to waste each other's time."

With that, Mo Yi tried to close the door again, giving the silver-haired girl no chance to babble.

"I'm sorry, I, Mo Yi, have no feelings. Please leave me alone with your troubles."

"Wait a moment, listen to me—"

I'm not listening, I'm not listening. You're not my mom, why should I listen to you?

Mo Yi sped up the door-closing this time. With normal reflexes, one shouldn't be able to react, but this silver-haired girl stubbornly held onto the door panel and said loudly, "I'm here to rent an apartment! Didn't the landlord here post a listing online?!"

Mo Yi froze for a moment. That's right, he seemed to have posted a rental listing online a few days ago.

Taking advantage of Mo Yi's momentary daze, the silver-haired girl slipped in from outside without any fear that Mo Yi might be a bad person.

Having successfully slipped into the house, the silver-haired girl let out a sigh of relief. She then took out a printed A4 paper from her pocket, which contained the rental listing Mo Yi had personally written.

"Hello, my name is Kiana Kaslana. You can just call me Kiana."

"Is the landlord here?"

In Kiana's eyes, a young man around Mo Yi's age shouldn't be the landlord of a place that could be considered a 'building.' If he wasn't a tenant, he must be a relative of the landlord.

Let me clarify here: the Valkyrie system, like Kiana's, still uses the Honkai Energy system from Honkai Impact 3rd. The cultivators mentioned in this chapter refer to ordinary people. Honkai Energy is something created by the will of Earth to eliminate human civilization. Ordinary people cannot utilize it; even absorbing it will lead to corruption, so it cannot become widespread. Energy systems like spiritual energy and magic are the systems that ordinary people can adapt to. Well, it's tentatively set as an energy system created by the Alaya-Vijnana to counter the will of Earth.

Chapter 3: The Male Protagonist of a Yuri World

Kiana Kaslana?

Sounds like you, Ji Ni Tai Mei!

As this name echoed in Mo Yi's ears, a flash of lightning struck his mind. The unbearable past surged back like a tide.

That was a long, long time ago, so long ago it felt like a past life.

Mo Yi, once a miserable copywriter and game designer, naturally needed to understand the popular games on the market. Kiana Kaslana was the protagonist of a very popular game series, "Honkai Impact," known as "Grassworm," the "dumb blonde."

Mo Yi had naturally been a Captain (player) in that game. With her help, he quickly passed the beginner stage and never used Kiana's character again. The most vivid memories were of Yae Sakura, who grew donkey ears, and Theresa, the cutest in the world.

As for Kiana's lingering impression? Wasn't she just a yuri girl who was a waste to train, whose gun-fu involved bullets that could turn corners?

Of course, what Mo Yi disliked the most was the plot of the Honkai world, with its constant retcons and bugs. If they couldn't explain something, they'd call it a parallel world. Ask again, and it's a universe reset.

As a game copywriter, Mo Yi naturally had a deep impression.

But now, the former game character appeared before him. The first thing that came to Mo Yi's mind wasn't his forgotten Valkyrie waifu.

It was the theme of the Honkai world—the Honkai!

The Honkai was the 'god' created by the will of Earth to eliminate human civilization.

Well, this was Mo Yi's residual memory, and he wasn't sure if it was accurate.

"Hiss—"

He took a sharp breath!

Suddenly, another flash of inspiration struck Mo Yi. For a long time, he had felt a sense of familiarity with his city, 'Changkong City.'

Now he finally remembered. Changkong City was the starting point of the plot in "Honkai Impact 3rd"!

In the story, a Honkai incident occurred in Changkong City. Ordinary citizens died instantly, while some women transformed into Shikigami (zombies). The reason why only women could become Shikigami and men died directly was probably because Mother Earth and the 'Will of Honkai' were both female.

The plot wasn't the point for Mo Yi!

What was truly worth worrying about was that the Honkai incident occurred in Changkong City, leading to the city's instant annihilation!

If you knew your home was going to be carpet-bombed with nuclear weapons soon, your feelings would definitely be more complicated than your girlfriend of seven years emptying your bank account and eloping with your best friend to go abroad. Mo Yi felt that way.

Although Mo Yi always said, "Don't take risks, develop stealthily!"

As a man destined to become a bald demon king who wielded lightning, he wasn't worried about not surviving in Changkong City. But if Changkong City truly became a ghost town overrun with zombies, could he still live there?

After finally becoming a homeowner, was he going to lose everything overnight?

"Hey, are you okay?"

While Mo Yi was lost in thought because of Kiana's name, Kiana, seeing the young man in front of her suddenly freeze, couldn't hold back any longer. She waved her hand in front of Mo Yi and asked cautiously: Being called by Kiana, Mo Yi snapped back to reality and thought:

No use dwelling on it now. Besides, this world has cultivators, and the worldview isn't the same as the Honkai world in my memory. Maybe the so-called Honkai doesn't even exist in this world.

"Besides, overthinking things won't help right now. I'll ask Teacher Ryze again tonight if I can resist the so-called 'Honkai' erosion with my abilities."

"Moreover, the worldview of the Honkai world is so complex, with so many parallel worlds, it's still difficult to judge the actual situation."

Kiana had expected Mo Yi to wake up and come over, but to her surprise, he immediately got lost in thought again. Being a bit impatient, Kiana had to ask again, "Are you really okay?"

"Sorry, I just got lost in thought."

Mo Yi, snapping back to reality, offered a polite smile and said, "Miss Kiana—"

Kiana scratched her head, interrupting him sheepishly.

"Just call me Kiana. Calling me Miss Kiana feels a bit strange. I'm only 16, not even an adult yet."

Mo Yi: "..."
