CHIH Chapters 71-80

Chapter 71: Little Kiana's Coquettishness

Every day, Kiana behaved well. During the day, she attended classes and communicated with Elysia and Mobius sisters online. In the evening, after dinner, she would exercise Kaslana's gunplay with her father. After getting tired, she would take a bath and play games with her father.

Kirby was very interesting, and when playing with her father, he would always tease her and increase the difficulty of passing levels. But she didn't give up either. In the latter part of the game, she successfully retaliated, bringing a smile to her dad's face.

The game was fun, and her daily life was fulfilling. However, Honkai outbreaks had been occurring more frequently in the past four weeks. Even people in the town were getting injured.

As a result, her dad started going out frequently, leaving early and returning late, leaving only her at home.

Fortunately, Natasha was still there, but there was almost no news from Bronie.

Although there were online videos sometimes, they lacked that special touch.

It had been a long time since she hugged Bronie, and Kiana felt like she almost forgot the smell of sister Bronie.

During break time, Kiana, alone and bored, turned on the computer to see if there were other games to play online.

Apart from Bronie sister's games, the Homu series of games were also interesting.

However, if she wanted to buy games online, she still needed Siegfried's permission. Therefore, most of what Kiana stored on her computer were leftovers. Fortunately, these leftovers were enough for Kiana to play for a while.

"When will Bronie sister come back to see me... I wonder what the orphanage is like, and what kind of children are there..."

Just as Kiana was lost in thought, the doorbell at home suddenly rang.

"Bronie sister!"

Seeing the familiar figure, although the hairstyle seemed to have changed a bit, Kiana immediately recognized the girl at the door.

Happy, Kiana hugged Bronie, startling her.

"Kiana, long time no see. By the way, where's Siegfried? Did he go to work during the day?"

"Um... Dad went to work. His job is to protect everyone!"

Kiana had many interesting things she wanted to share with Bronie, and many questions she wanted to ask Bronie.

However, now Kiana was so happy that she forgot all about it and quickly pulled Bronie into her room.

"Sorry, a friend entrusted me with an orphanage, and I can't just ignore those kids, right? I heard they've been through a lot of disasters when they were young, just like when I first met you."

Kiana still remembered the time when she first met Bronie.

It was snowy, and she was hungry, her head was pounding, but the delicious barbecue made her forget all the unpleasantness.

But were other kids also suffering like that?

"Um... Kiana can understand... it's just that sister Bronie has been away for a long time, not seeing your lovely face makes me feel very lonely!"

Gee, who taught you that? Elysia?

"You cute little thing! If you get any cuter, you'll be eaten by the scary Haxxor Bunny! I'm also thinking of you, so I came to see you. The situation at the orphanage is almost under control, and the work at hand is almost done, so I came over. Look, what else did I bring?"

"This is..."

Kiana saw that Bronie actually brought something that looked like a rice cooker. She couldn't tell what it was.

Bronie also suddenly remembered that Kiana liked to eat fried chicken and cola, but the town was quite remote, and the fried chicken brought back would get cold, and reheating it would change its taste.

But there was no air fryer on the market yet, and buying cooking oil felt a bit expensive.

So Bronie projected an air fryer.

"Air fryer, commonly known as a home appliance that can make chicken wings without oil. It mainly consists of a heating tube and a fan, circulating hot air in a sealed environment to achieve a similar effect to frying, and of course, it can also replace some of the functions of an oven."

Saying that, Bronie brought out another bag, containing raw chicken legs and various ingredients.

"Wow~"

"Are you ready to study? Do you want to make some fried chicken legs to surprise Siegfried?"

"Yeah!!"

Making fried chicken legs was quite simple, but the actual effect of the air fryer was a bit disappointing. It was a bit inferior to fried ones in terms of taste. But in terms of taste, it was still impeccable.

"Besides fried chicken, I've also released a new game recently, which you'll definitely like!"

"Super Mario Oddysey... is this for the kids at the orphanage?"

"No, it's for all kids, including you."

With that, Bronie took out the meticulously packaged Mario.

"Let's play together!"

Super Mario is now available online.

Although the graphics look a bit childish, there's also Kirby as a precedent.

With the same high-quality music, cheerful atmosphere, and excellent level design, every corner seems to showcase Bronie's talent in level design.

This game is very fun for both kids and adults, just like Kirby, it's perfect for relaxing after a tiring day.

The game leaves a deep impression, bringing pure joy, which cannot be obtained by watching videos.

After the second gift was sent out, Bronie released a brand new teaser.

A teaser called "Titanfall".

Because Tesla was robbed, and after all, Tesla is like her foster mother, right? So Welt is also particularly concerned about Bronie online.

Mario and Kirby are similar types of games, with simple plots, but the gameplay blows away many game developers.

Even Anti Entropy admits defeat.

And now, Bronie seems to have responded to the game he wanted to make with a vote.

However, this response came in the form of a trailer.

Welt opened the video.

The title "Titanfall" made Welt pull a subway old man expression.

Titan?

Why does it sound like the combat weapon used by Anti Entropy to deal with the Honkai?

In the background of the sunset, two figures, one big and one small, slowly approached the audience.

A Western cowboy-style soundtrack made Welt feel very familiar.

Although Welt's father is Finnish and his mother has German and Chinese descent, he grew up in Anti Entropy and mainly lives in the United States.

And the Western cowboy-style movies are naturally American specialties, all of which carry a bit of the taste of home.

A huge robot and a soldier advanced side by side in the desert, the soldier had a gun on his chest, holding a helmet in his right hand, and spinning a knife in his left hand, as if leisurely returning after a battle.

Then the soldier fell into memories.

In a huge forest, a helmeted soldier looked like a god of war, working with the giant robot beside him to eliminate one opponent after another.

It seems that the two of them were fighting alone.

Time switched to night, and the huge robot accompanied the soldier, warming him by the fire from the robot's flame device.

But next, more and more enemy robots of similar models caught up.

The robot next to the protagonist was getting more and more damaged, but the protagonist still showed no sign of giving up and continued to fight.

After landing on the robot, the soldier quickly eliminated the enemy robots, dropped a gas canister, and quietly waited for the remaining enemies to arrive.

As the music reached its climax, more and more robots surrounded them, but the protagonist remained calm and lit the last gas canister.

Instantly, flames covered the entire forest, burning all the enemies to ashes, leaving only the protagonist and his partner robot.

Behind them was a burning forest and a huge planet in the sky.

It seemed like something was said, but the entire trailer didn't have a single line.

But the elements displayed deeply attracted Welt's attention.

War, giant robots, being able to fight on the robots, and the multiplayer confrontation mode in the voting!

The Western-style trailer deeply imprinted on Welt's heart. At this moment, Welt remembered that Bronie had made Elden Ring, and the big scenes were definitely easy for her.

But he didn't expect it to be this type of work.

Watching it, Welt was so excited, as if he had become the protagonist in the trailer, traversing the battlefield with the robot companion, like a lone wolf.

"Huh? Another new trailer? Is it a real demo this time? Can the Haxxor Bunny really be this productive in making games?"

Welt didn't expect that the new trailer hadn't been released for long, but the second trailer came out directly.

But the name was no longer "Titanfall", but "Apex Legends".

Roughly translated, it means the Top Legend.

After the war, a capital-controlled bloody event began.

The trailer also introduced gameplay, game modes, and demonstrations of various firearms and skills.

The style was a bit different, but the Haxxor Bunny said that this game has the same background as "Titanfall", and most importantly, it's free!

Free also means that this game is an online game, just like the popular shooting games recently, with options for in-game purchases.

The internet immediately started discussing which game was more interesting and whether to buy "Titanfall" next.

And Welt's answer was natural.

No man can resist the temptation of giant robots!

No one!

Seeing "Titanfall", Welt became more convinced that the Haxxor Bunny and himself are very similar. If they were to meet, they would definitely have countless topics to chat about for three days and three nights.

Whether it's from creation, robots, music, or history.

Yeah, how could you possibly make a game like Civilization if you don't like history?

If you don't like music, how could you make countless classic game soundtracks?

From classical to electronic, everything is available.

Realizing this, Welt couldn't help but itch.

When the heart moves, actions must follow.

Welt looked at his phone, full of messages, and finally started to reply to Tesla.

"Sorry, I'm doing something very important right now and can't contact you temporarily. This matter is very important in fighting the Honkai, and I hope you understand. However, before the final contact is cut off, I hope to find a chance to meet Haxxor Bunny through Anti Entropy's channels. I want to confirm something very important."

"Stinky Welt! If you're going to cut off contact, at least tell everyone about it in advance! But forget it, since it's about fighting the Honkai, I'll forgive you. But you better make it clear whether you're looking for the mercenary Haxxor Bunny or the game producer Haxxor Bunny. I don't have any way to help with the mercenary side, that Haxxor Bunny doesn't take commissions."

"It's the game producer Haxxor Bunny. There are some things I want to confirm with her. I've seen a lot of things from her."

"That guy made "Titanfall", which feels pretty interesting... Is this also related to fighting the Honkai?"

"Don't you think her description of Kaslana in Civilization seems to be deliberately vague? It's obviously full of implications."

"Ah?"

Obviously, Tesla didn't have the leisure to read descriptions. The game is good, and playing it makes time disappear quietly.

But the dense text is daunting, and only Welt, the history enthusiast, would carefully read it.

"Collaboration with Schicksal Entertainment, but it's just surface collaboration, so I think the other party is very likely to be a genius who knows about the Honkai and is secretly fighting against them."

"Well, I guess I understand what you mean. Indeed, Anti Entropy often accepts such talents, and Schicksal occasionally encounters them too."

But it's actually quite difficult to subdue such talents, after all, geniuses also have their pride.

"That's why I'm curious."

With that said, Welt didn't plan to contact anymore.

Although communication within Anti Entropy is indeed very advanced, it's also not guaranteed that Otto doesn't have a way to eavesdrop.

Minimize contact as much as possible, this choice is indeed correct, after all, Otto is very interested in St. Freya Academy.

After spending a pleasant day with Bronie accompanying Kiana, a cooperation invitation from Homu Entertainment came through on the phone.

It's about representing America and an invitation to meet the producer of Arahato.

Arahato?

"Bronie sister, do you have a new job again?"

"Yeah, the producer of Arahato wants to meet me, and there are many collaborative projects. As the company grows bigger, management is starting to get troublesome."

Bronie sighed like this, Kiana didn't quite understand, but she grabbed Bronie's clothes and said, "Then stay tonight and sleep with me, accompany me more, Bronie sister~"

Darn it! Is this also a trick taught by Elysia?

She can't refuse at all!

"Okay, Kiana, as long as Siegfried doesn't mind, then it's no problem."

Chapter 72: Old Yang, Old Yang

The time required to develop a game is actually quite substantial. Bronie's gaming company has been expanding its workforce repeatedly, and its scale has been growing accordingly.

Of course, the company's rapid growth can be attributed to Bronie's cost-effective methods of game development, which other gaming companies simply can't replicate.

Whether it's art, music, setting, or copywriting, they are all created through Bronie's projections, resulting in virtually zero production costs.

The bulk of the revenue naturally lies in Bronie's hands, but she also treats her employees fairly. Strict adherence to the eight-hour workday is the norm, with a firm stance against overtime.

However, despite these measures, players are gradually becoming impatient.

The recent voting results have been announced, but no one expected the games released to be Kirby and Mario.

While these can be considered action games and support multiplayer gameplay, they fall short of satisfying the demand for online multiplayer combat.

What players truly desire are online multiplayer shooter games, preferably with a sci-fi twist.

Shortly after the release of Mario, Bronie provided an answer.

The promotional video was captivating, featuring giant robots, solitary battles, and dynamic environments such as burning forests and grappling hooks for agile movement.

Although the video didn't reveal much, it succeeded in generating widespread interest.

Even more significant was the announcement of another game, offered completely free of charge. The graphics quality speaks for itself, with the Schicksal engine delivering top-tier visuals that can run even on low-spec computers. Fortunately, hardware limitations are not a concern for game companies.

The meeting was scheduled in Japan, quite a distance from Bronie's location.

Initially, Cioara expressed a desire to accompany her, but Bronie declined the offer. Given that Bronie would be facing Welt Yang, the second Herrscher of Reason, it seemed inappropriate for Cioara, with her mercenary temperament and affiliation with the World Serpent, to be present.

Thus, Bronie embarked on the journey alone, heading towards Nagazora in Japan. It was her first visit to the city, which had yet to experience a Honkai Eruption.

Compared to Siberia, Nagazora was considerably warmer, allowing Bronie to adopt a more casual and stylish attire.

While she had picked up various fashion tips from Elysia, she felt that a cute style didn't quite suit her, preferring instead a slightly more refined and chic look.

Everything in Nagazora was unfamiliar to Bronie, prompting her to refrain from establishing her company there to avoid potential losses in the event of a Honka Eruptioni.

After disembarking from the plane, she casually explored the vicinity of Senba Academy before finding a hotel to stay temporarily.

"How's Nagazora? I never expected Bronie to receive an invitation from Mr. Yang. His Arahato series is incredibly fascinating. It's hard to believe that the same person authored Homu's Big Adventure and the Arahato series."

"I've also worked on Elden Ring and Kirby, so it's not unusual for a producer to create different styles of content. Nagazora is quite warm, though it's unfortunate that it's not cherry blossom season. Otherwise, I would have shown you the road lined with cherry blossom trees."

After arriving in Nagazora, Bronie communicated with Bronya. To avoid attracting mercenaries' attention, Bronie often contacted the children from the orphanage.

"When Bronya grows up and earns her own travel expenses, we can go together."

The little bunny is really cute!

"In the future, try not to come to Nagazora. This time, I'm here mainly for work. If you really want to see the cherry blossom sea, we'll have to go elsewhere."

"Why?"

Bronya didn't quite understand. It was Bronie who recommended this scenery to her, so why couldn't she come and play?

"Um... Why not?"

"Bronya doesn't understand what her sister is saying~"

"In short, Nagazora is where virtual singularities are most likely to occur. Staying here for too long may lead to unpleasant events. It's best to avoid it as much as possible, got it?"

"Bronya doesn't understand what her sister is saying~"

"Anyway, Nagazora has a lot of dirty stuff. It's best not to come here. I'm not joking about this. But how has everyone been lately? Did Rosalia eat all the cherries in the fridge? Cherries are prone to spoilage and can rot in as little as two days."

"I don't know about that, but Rosalia is taking good care of the cherries. She said she wants to eat them for a month!"

As expected.

Bronie was looking forward to seeing Rosalia's reaction when she sees all the cherries rotten. But that's too mean.

"Remember to tell Rosalia not to forget her homework. If I come back and see that she hasn't touched a single word, I'll make her understand what cruelty means."

"Okay... Oh, and Bronie, could you bring everyone Mr. Yang's autograph? Everyone really wants it, but we're afraid of troubling you."

Is Bronya already vying for the position of big sister among the children so soon? How oddly cute.

"You can leave the autographs to me. And what about Sin? Does she have any preferences?"

"She probably wants some merchandise? Arahato's."

Sin prefers slightly boyish things, cool stuff like giant robots, which are within her range of interests. Although Bronie's usual strategy of attacking with cute skirts has been quite effective, Sin's behavior has become more restrained.

But she still really likes the Arahato figurine that Bronie gave her.

"That's good. Let Sin wait at home. And don't tire yourself too much. There's a mechanism in the second drawer to the right of my office desk. When you open it, you'll find weapons inside. If you encounter any enemies, don't hesitate to use them."

"So, has Bronie made enemies outside?"

"I'm just worried that the Silver Wolf Squad might come knocking. Let's end our chat here for today. If we talk more, I won't be able to get up tomorrow. Goodnight, Bronya."

"Okay, goodnight, Bronie."

After ending the communication, Bronya left her room and went to Bronie's office. The secret door in the office was originally used by Cocolia to hide some secrets that children shouldn't see, or maybe something bloody.

But Bronie had cleaned everything up, and now there was only a weapons room in the hidden room, specifically for the children to use in times of crisis.

Sin also knew about this hidden room.

But Bronya wasn't very reassured. Since she promised to protect the children, keeping the weapon close at hand was the best choice. Otherwise, she would only have stockings to rely on.

Entering the hidden room, Bronya looked at the densely packed weapons on the rack and fell into a state of confusion.

"R-101? Little Helper? Flying Firestar? Peacekeeper? Why are these weapons from Bronie's games? Could it be that Bronie is also a Legend?"

Naturally, Bronie didn't know that Bronya still suffered from the fear of insufficient firepower, but even if she did, she would remain indifferent.

Being prepared for the worst is a good virtue, and having weapons ready at all times can indeed provide a sense of security.

The next day, waking up in an unfamiliar hotel, Bronie quickly freshened up and put on a red skirt with a blue hoodie.

The hoodie was the same style as Sans', and Bronie really liked it.

As for the skirt, it was just to blend in with the surroundings.

To be honest, Bronie had never experienced the life of a high school girl. Wearing a skirt and thigh-high socks was all about immersing herself in the atmosphere.

She had arranged to meet Mr. Welt in a cafe.

Approaching the front desk, she inquired about the reserved seat and followed the waiter to Mr. Welt's table.

In that brief moment of eye contact, Bronie saw surprise in Welt's eyes.

Facing the Honkai without flinching, the second successor of the Herrscher of Reason, bearing the name of the world, the surprise in his eyes made Bronie smile.

"It seems that Mr. Yang's age prediction for me was too conservative. He never expected me to be so young, right? My name is Bronie, nice to meet you! I'm currently sixteen years old, and I study everything by myself. I'm not attending school at the moment."

"Hello, Bronie. My full name is Welt Yang. I was still diligently studying in school at your age. I never imagined that there would be such a talented genius in the world who can independently create games, handle music, art, and programming all by herself. It's truly admirable."

Knowing the difficulty of creation, especially in game development, Welt had participated in game production, so he felt that it was not something one person could accomplish alone.

But Bronie did it.

And she looked so young doing it.

"Technology can always change people's lives. When technology reaches a certain level of portability, even auxiliary programming, composition, and drawing are possible. These can all be done through programming. It's just that currently, no one is better than me."

Indeed.

Before, Welt had been constantly pondering how Bronie managed to accomplish such a huge amount of work alone.

Especially for the work "Civilization," which typically would take at least a year in terms of art, but Bronie finished it in just a few months?

"It seems that your expertise isn't just in game development?"

"Well... I'm good at many things, but let's not talk about that for now. Mr. Yang, I have several copies of manga and merchandise here. I'll leave the signing to you!"

"So many?"

Welt didn't expect Bronie to take out so many manga from her bag. Normally, one would be enough.

"I have an orphanage where the children love your work, so I thought of giving each of them a copy, leaving behind a good memory."

"But you're only sixteen..."

"Does being sixteen mean I can't take care of children?"

Welt remained silent for a moment, but considering that a person's works could somewhat reflect their values, Bronie shouldn't be someone who acts impulsively.

"I'm just a little surprised. It seems Miss Bunny is like a box of chocolates, every step of getting to know her is a surprise."

"Thank you for the signatures. They will be very happy. Let's get down to business now. The agent for Apex in the Americas region, although it feels a bit strange discussing it in Japan, it's okay. I happen to want to open a themed store in Japan."

Bronie's plan was to open a game store in the St Freya Academy, with the theme based on her own games.

However, she arrived in this world a bit late, and she missed the bidding for commercial streets in that place, and her funds at that time hadn't accumulated yet.

"What an interesting choice. Apex, huh? Our Homu Entertainment has a very high interest in your network games. I believe you're prepared to introduce your new game?"

"Of course. I have great confidence in my game. Unlike the pay-to-win model in the market, the first thing I want to introduce is the subscription model."

Bronie detailed the gameplay of Apex, including the setting of Evolution Armor and the issues that adults would pay attention to.

Time passed quickly, and Welt carefully considered Bronie's new game.

"This new payment method imposes very strict requirements on the quality of subsequent updates."

"I think it's okay. Legendary updates and the setting of it, as well as each special skin, after all, I am Miss Bunny, and Miss Bunny's products are always top-notch. Moreover, the game is equipped with an anti-cheating program written by me, which can eliminate the possibility of cheating from all aspects, so there's no need to worry about cheating affecting the lifespan of the game."

"It seems you have great confidence in your programming abilities?"

"Of course. After all, I am Miss Bunny!"

"Well... So, did you also take the fifty kilograms of gold?"

"...What?"

Fifty?

Cocolia couldn't possibly come up with fifty kilograms of gold!

Thirty kilograms was the maximum!

It turned out Tesla deliberately exaggerated the weight when talking to Welt!

She almost blurted it out.

"It's nothing. I was just joking. But speaking of which, what do you think of Kallen Kaslana in history? I see you seem to have some criticisms in the Civilization Encyclopedia."

Welt observed Bronie's reaction carefully, but that subtle pause gave Welt a strange premonition.

Could it really be her doing?

But how is that possible?

A sixteen-year-old girl, breaking through the anti entropy-repelling robot defense, and directly snatching fifty kilograms of gold.

No matter how you think about it, it's unlikely.

But...

Bronie is very confident in her programming abilities, so she's very capable in the network?

"Kallen Kaslana... I don't know much about her, but I think before she died, she probably had some doubts about her own sense of justice. Even without anyone's help, she didn't give up her sense of justice. It's just that the environment at the time was too dark, so she thought of using this clumsy method to resist? She's a very emotional person, and she acts impulsively."

"So, you don't think the description in history of her protecting the people from being invaded by monsters is false?"

This is the history published by the Schicksal. Although most people consider it fake, Welt still knows that there was probably an attack by the Honkai beasts at that time.

The reaction of a normal person wouldn't be like Miss Haxxor Bunny's.

"Monsters? Probably an embellishment, right? If it's true, it can also explain the disaster that took place during the Millennium, which took away the families of all the children in the orphanage."

Hearing Bronie say this, Welt also recalled that terrible time.

She is also a victim of the second eruption...

No wonder.

"So, Miss Bunny, do you want to know the truth? Do you want to know what really happened during that great disaster?"

It can be almost certain that the Bunny who robbed Tesla is the girl in front of him.

So let's be ho--

"Let's be honest! Welt!"

"Ah?"

Chapter 73: Giving Old Yang a Small Star Iron Shock

Want to know the truth? Want to understand the crisis the world currently faces?

These are the words of the man who carries the weight of the world's name, after assessing Haxxor's character, assessing the most enticing question to say to her.

If there are geniuses among the common folk who perceive the presence of Honkai and begin to investigate Anti Entropy and Schicksal to some extent, they are generally eventually recruited by Schicksal or Anti Entropy.

Judging from Bronie's reaction, it seems she knows a great deal, and her response to Honkai appears significant.

Could it be that she is still a child deeply scarred by the Honkai?

At sixteen, during the time when the Second Herrscher was causing trouble, Bronie was likely around five years old.

Five is an age to remember things, so what shadows might Bronie have from her childhood?

"This matter cannot be discussed in public, and please, don't get too excited. If you want to know the truth, come with me."

But at this moment, Bronie appeared very calm, even leaning back on the sofa without the previous excitement.

"It's simply shifting the blame for some man-made disasters onto Honkai, and then redirecting the conflict towards Honkai, isn't it? Humans have always enjoyed doing this, even Kallen Kaslana's death was the same."

As Pardo thought, Honkai might create some absurd disasters, such as the Black Death or the invasion of Honkai beasts.

But the first Honkai Eruption was born during the Second World War.

Can Honkai brainwash people into war maniacs?

The second eruption goes without saying, it was almost caused by Otto himself, and the future third one is Cocolia, and the fourth one in New Zealand was an unintentional cooperation between Cocolia and Otto.

As for the fifth one, it is officially considered to be caused by Prometheus.

"I do not deny that there were many artificial factors in the previous great Honkais. Just as when you were making the Civilization game, you were carefully investigating history, I have also investigated a lot of history.

And I also found that the development of Honkai is closely related to human activities, even the Black Death, it was also the Schicksal of that time wanting to use Honkai to find a way to eternal life."

"So what else is there to say now? Do you expect me to solve the Honkai? I am invincible in terms of information, but information is ultimately information. Turning it into reality is the most difficult thing. As I said before, speak up and be honest. You make a request, I give a price, or you give a price, and I consider whether to accept the commission."

"I just want to find like-minded companions to fight against Honkai and solve the crises that may come in the future."

In the early plot of HI3rd, Cocolia caused trouble, tarnishing the reputation of the entire Anti Entropy.

In a way, Anti-Entropy cannot fully be trusted.

"Uh-huh, I see, but I have my own way to deal with Honkai."

"How much do you... know about Honkai?"

Hearing Bronie's arrogant words, Welt felt that Bronie seemed to be a bit temperamental.

She doesn't want too much interaction with himself? With Anti-Entropy? Or something else?

Judging from Haxxor's attack on Tesla, Bronie's hacking skills are indeed amazing. Even the firewall that even Schicksal cannot break through, she can invade and take over the system with just a glance.

But Honkai is not an electronic system.

"How much do I know? In the vast sea of quanta, there are countless bubbles of worlds. Except for the traces of time left by this world, there is no Honkai in other worlds. At the same time, it should be noted that there is no Honkai on the imaginary tree."

Bronie suddenly projected a hard-light screen, which startled Welt.

The sudden high-tech made Welt once again confirm that Bronie was a genius that comes once in a millennium.

"The imaginary tree?"

"It's just a universally existing and recognized theory in the universe. After all, there are always some people in this world who have some special abilities, right? My ability just happens to be able to extract some information from the sea of quanta."

Originally, the first Herrscher, who bore the name of the world, wanted to give a good lesson to the genius girl in front of him through the meaning contained in his own name.

But what's the result?

Now it seems that Bronie is starting to teach himself!

"No, I should say that it's not just the sea of quanta. Outside of our real world, there is another dimension called the backyard, which can be compared to a language system that makes up software in our real world. Under such high-density information, all matter will be squeezed and then annihilated, but I can intercept some information from it."

Well, things are getting a bit fantasy-like now.

If Bronie had started talking about Aeons from the beginning, Welt would probably have found it even more fantastical.

But for Welt's sake, Bronie didn't mention it so soon.

"Oh? So the so-called theory of the imaginary tree is found from here? How do you ensure that this information is true, and not some kind of setting from a novel? And what does this have to do with Honkai?"

For some reason, there was no one paying attention to this side in the store at all, but Welt still felt a bit worried that discussing these things with Bronie might cause unnecessary trouble for passersby.

"Our world is at the end of the branches of the imaginary tree. For example, this is the solar system, pinned in the middle at the end, and this cup is the cocoon of finality."

With that, Bronie covered the empty cup with the nail.

But Welt's gaze was completely drawn to the nail.

A nail?

Coffee shops don't provide nails for customers, and daily life definitely doesn't involve carrying nails, so how did one suddenly appear in Bronie's hand?

And what is this cocoon of finality!?

The bottom of the cup seemed to vanish into data, leaving only a ceramic circle that surrounded the nail inside.

"And then, according to the rules of the cocoon of finality, it embraces human civilization, and the projection cast by the cocoon of finality forms an imaginary singularity, allowing the imaginary around it to flow in one direction, and then condensing onto a particular human, giving birth to a special individual."

New ceramics grew inside the ceramic ring, and fine lines extended to connect the entire nail.

And Welt's expression was unprecedentedly heavy.

Imaginary singularity, Bronie naturally referred to the Herrscher Core, which Welt understood very well.

From different perspectives, Bronie had a completely different view of the birth of the Herrscher.

A flood of information poured into Welt's mind all at once, and for a moment, Welt felt a bit irrational and at a loss.

Is this the truth of Honkai?

Why does Bronie know about it?

"Whether your understanding of Honkai is correct is still debatable. We'll need verification from scientists on our end before we can draw a conclusion, but what I'm more interested in is your special power. Is it a creation?"

"This is a personal information. I won't just say it casually. Uh, definitely not."

Bronie didn't get lost in the sense of achievement when Mr. Welt was shocked, nor did she reveal all her background just because Welt was a good person.

The main reason for revealing the truth of Honkai was to let the people of Anti Entropy take a little less detour.

After all the changes she had made to the plot, she had to do something to help everyone take fewer detours to solve Honkai, right?

"I represent Anti Entropy and extend a cooperation invitation to Haxxor. Your abilities are very impressive, and I can confirm that this is not the power of Honkai. Let's walk together on the path of fighting Honkai. Having one more person is also having one more strength, isn't it?"

Haxxor couldn't be seen as just an ordinary genius or as someone who is alone anymore.

It's quite evident that Bronie probably has some organization behind her.

Although he investigated Bronie's gaming company through Anti Entropy's channels, he couldn't find anything. But this further indicates that the girl in front of him may very well have an organization behind her as well, one that is also fighting against Honkai, and their research on Honkai may even be ahead of Anti Entropy's.

"Cooperation is certainly not a problem. Or perhaps I really do need the help of Anti Entropy's scientists. Recently, I've been conducting an experiment, one related to memory and consciousness."

"Oh? Tell me more about it? How does this relate to fighting Honkai?"

Welt looked around nervously, but still, no one seemed to be paying attention to them.

Bronie is so bold, discussing such matters in this place. Isn't she afraid of causing some serious consequences?

But Bronie doesn't trust herself, which is quite normal.

Building trust is a very lengthy process, but you have to take the first step, right?

And more importantly, Bronie showed her sincerity, initiating the initial contact attempt with Anti Entropy.

Watching Bronie adjust the panel, Welt felt that her abilities were indeed different from the others', but also very similar to him.

No wonder there was a feeling of looking in the mirror in the will revealed in the game.

"I have a handful of dust emitting a faint light. Through the subtle particles, remnants of civilization's information can be seen. This comes from the records left by the information repository that records the material world. And this handful of dust is like a seed. Watering it might make it bloom and bear fruit, revealing even more memories."

"What are you talking about? Dust carries memories? This..."

Then Welt was a bit speechless.

Clearly, Bronie's hands were empty just now, but now it seems like something appeared!?

"It's just a little trick using the Quantum energy along with my own abilities. However, the memories of a civilization manifest as dust. When combined with a bit of ether, it can create a harmless meme, well... maybe harmless?"

"A meme? Is this physical information? Still, Without substance? But I can see it now, touch it, and I'm absolutely sure it's in your hands. Why do you call it a meme?"

"Because in the absence of infecting others' consciousness, memes do not exist themselves. The technology of the Garden of Recollection, I accidentally discovered it. But... it has indeed moved forward on the path, albeit by a millimeter. Have you heard of memetic entities? Casting aside their own flesh, they traverse the universe in the form of pure memes. But don't worry, I haven't met anyone from the real Garden of Recollection. This thing is just like a small screw in the steam age for them."

"Spreading through memory, not knowing, It does not exist but exist?"

Old Yang.exe stopped.

This thing is already beyond Welt's understanding.

Plus, his ability to harness the power of the Herrscher is limited, being not the original First Herrscher, and he doesn't have the ability to analyze everything by just touching it. Seeing thru the light dust is undoubtly beyond his capability.

So in his eyes, it's just a bunch of weird dust.

"The description, the method of spreading, is oral information. And you deliberately pause during pronunciation and then use your ability to mimic a special waveform. That's the true form of a meme!"

"But... covert enough, and deadly enough, right? This is the research I want to pursue now, transforming digitized memories into memes, and then transplanting them onto the flesh, achieving a transformation from memetic entity to a biological entity."

Is this resurrection?

Or is it creation?

"I understand now, but I have a question for you. Who exactly do you want to use this on? Or rather, do you want to resurrect someone?"

Bronie slowly looked out the window, as if on the other side of the sky outside the window, there was someone she missed.

"Elysia, in the common language of the Mu, meant "Paradise". Eden, Kalpas, Su, Hua, Sakura, Griseo, Kevin, Pardi, Kosmo, Aponia, Mobius, and Vill-V. They are the final MANTIS Soldiers' memory replicas who survived the last confrontation with Honkai in the previous civilization, and they are also the last sparks of resistance against Honkai. This information is a sign of sincerity."

Research definitely requires funding.

Bronie entrusted the research to Anti Entropy, to be honest, Bronie didn't really expect Anti Entropy to help her bypass the research process in one fell swoop.

But it's still helpful in some way, isn't it?

Welt looked at the USB drive Bronie sent, carefully saving it.

"What was the original name of the Key of the Ninth God, the Star of Eden?"

Once again confirming the authenticity of Bronie's information.

"Starry Harmony, and Miss Eden was also involved in the composition of the music in the Elden Ring."

This heavyweight information shocked Welt even more.

Starry Harmony, Welt also knew about it, but he didn't expect Miss Eden to have a hand in the Elden Ring!?

Digital life...

Resurrection...

So that's it.

"Do you want to resurrect them again and then make them fight against Honkai?"

"No, that's not it. I just feel that the form of existence of life doesn't need to be strictly defined. They can also pursue their own meaning of existence and the beauty of the world. Honkai and such, there's always a way to solve it. After all, as long as we know the essence of Honkai, then we have enough time to solve it. The difference is how many will die or not due to it."

What a good kid.

The man bearing the name of the world praised Bronie highly in his heart.

And on the path of resisting Honkai, there was one more like-minded partner.

Although this mysterious partner has many secrets, her belief in pursuing beauty can be felt through her eyes.

When talking about the so-called Thirteen Flame Chasers, there was a gentle smile in her smile.

"I understand your thoughts. Anti Entropy welcomes you joining. But the information you've given me is too important, so for a long time to come, we'll need to sift through and verify this information. You know, in the process of scientific research, having a clear direction can save years of wandering."

"Yeah, I understand."

Until Kevin finally stepped forward to reveal the information about the Cocoon of Finality, Anti Entropy had not realized the full extent of Honkai.

So Bronie was very clear about the importance of the information she provided.

"Take the light dust away, consider it research material. As long as it's memory, they can exist, and they might even touch the essence of the soul."

Welt carefully created a box and put the light dust in it.

Then he looked at Bronie again, but Bronie had her hands in her pockets, looking ready to leave.

"Remember to open a better server. My game is definitely going to be a hit, so there better not be any server lag issues."

Now Welt remembered that he actually came to talk about game.

"Um, can we talk about Titan's design? I'm very interested in the Titan you designed."

"Hmm? Titan... let's talk about the design online. This isn't a topic that can be finished in a few words. I have to go back now. The kids at the orphanage are waiting for me."

Watching Bronie's confident figure leave, Welt couldn't help but feel that he was indeed getting old.

He no longer had that fiery temperament

But Bronie, it seems like everything is under her control, or maybe she doesn't care much about the information she holds in her hands and is holding even more explosive information?

He completely forgot to ask why Bronie robbed Tesla and where Cocolia went.

Welt focused all his attention on the USB drive Bronie gave him.

Inside were the design drawings of the Void Archive, along with notes highlighting the back door of the Void Archive.

This was the carefully prepared gift from Bronie to Mr. Otto.

Hoping it would come in handy one day.

Chapter 74: The Orphanage Incident

"What!? Welt, you didn't just randomly pick up some novel to fool me, did you!? Meme life forms? The Imaginary Tree and the Cocoon of Finality? The powers of the Herrscher are projections of the Cocoon of Finality? How could you believe the nonsense of a little brat!?"

Cough cough, Tesla, perhaps you've forgotten, we were robbed of thirty kilograms of gold by a little brat."

"Thirty kilograms? Wasn't it fifty?"

Welt suddenly felt strange, and Tesla's face was full of guilt.

"So you just believed her like that!?"

The matter with Cocolia is no longer important. If Haxxor Bunny's words are true, then Cocolia is a madman who experiments with Honkai using children.

Do you know why Anti Entropy spends so much money on creating Titans?

Isn't it because they can't bear to see Valkyries risking their lives to fight Honkai?

That Otto is simply not human, using low-quality artificial stigmata to send Valkyries to battle against Honkai.

Few Valkyries live to be forty years old, let alone retire.

So human experiments are best avoided.

"Do you know? Bronie used an ability similar to the Herrscher's, but without any Honkai energy. She said it was imaginary energy. Do you know what imaginary energy is?"

"The imaginary energy in the collapsed state is Honkai energy, which is also an important core theory of the Selene. The means to transform imaginary energy into Honkai energy are currently unknown, but if we look at the theory of the Imaginary Tree, the Project Ark of the previous civilization is probably completely ruined."

Through Anti Entropy's grave digging, Einstein also knew that the previous civilization had undertaken many projects.

Among them, Project Ark, of course, was in the records.

Originally unaware of the result, but now knowing it, it can't help but make people sigh. Survival is indeed the primary need of civilization. The previous civilization must have tried to escape.

"Yeah... even escape is impossible. Now the only goal is to find the Cocoon of Finality."

"Even if it's found, there's no guarantee it can be solved. Perhaps the task she gave might be the solution? Meme life forms..."

Einstein's judgment of the situation was rather pessimistic, but she was still quite interested in the light dust that Welt obtained.

Even memories can be materialized. Such power might indeed bypass Honkai and transform human civilization into a completely new form.

"I've already asked Raiden Ryoma's subordinates to send the stuff over. The light dust is just a carrier for memes. Bronie said the best way to remove memes is to selectively manipulate memories to delete them. At the same time, she also gave us the design of the Void Archive, the first Divine Key, and its back door. What do you think this represents?"

Tesla was quite interested in the so-called Void Archive, after all, Otto had caused quite a stir with this thing before.

"In other words, the Void Archive has the ability to deal with memes? And it also wants us to deal with that guy Otto?"

"No, sooner or later we will have conflicts with Otto. This is just a gift. As for memes, there are naturally two possibilities: friendly and malicious. But the memes Bronie gave us don't have any malice."

At first glance, Welt's understanding seemed a bit wishful, but Einstein had to take it seriously considering Welt's high praise for Bronie.

Vill-V, the researcher who made the Divine keys, left a back door in every one of her creations, which means that even the Star of Eden might have left a back door!

"If only she could tell us the back door of the Star of Eden. We rarely come into contact with things like the Void Archive..."

"It's probably to guard against us... Well, Anti Entropy took the initiative to cooperate with that guy Cocolia, this wrong decision, it's hard to feel good about it."

"This, this can't be blamed on me! If it weren't for Raiden Ryoma's misuse of funds, we could only resort to dealing with that old fox Cocolia through the gray channels! Who knows why she's conducting human experiments, and I've never heard of it, I just know she has an orphanage!"

"Orphanage? Do you know where the address of that orphanage is?"

"I just knew you might not let it go, but I investigated it for you. Someone took over with the help of a rich man, so there's no problem."

Tesla always acts decisively, and Welt also feels a bit moved, but there's always a feeling of unreliability in it.

"Let's hope... so..."

Welt can't spare time now. He has to go back to St. Freya Academy and continue to lurk there. The secrets hidden inside are still not fully discovered by Welt.

So he can't delve into it, he can only quietly wait for the changes in Anti Entropy.

Those documents, if they're genuine, indeed provide Anti Entropy with the impetus to counter Honkai.

If they can locate that Cocoon of Finality, He hope they can smoothly deal with that thing.

...

"Sister Sin... when will Sister Bronie return?"

"I don't know! Stop asking. She hasn't abandoned us, so why are you more concerned about Sister Bronie than asking about Mom Cocolia when you rarely see her?"

"Be... because I don't want to be experimented on... even though Nina knows it's the only way to repay Mom... but I don't want to die..."

Now it was Sin's turn to fall silent.

Yeah, who truly wants to die?

For paving the way for her sisters, for ensuring future experiments no longer result in deaths, that's why Sin is working so hard.

But now, Sin has lost that reason, leaving only the desire to protect her sisters' hearts. To avoid angering Bronie, she can only bear the humiliation and wear the little dress!

Bronie dispelled her unease, brought a doctor, and even Lilia's narcolepsy improved. Everyone could think more about the future.

At this point, how could Sin not know that Mama Cocolia had made so many mistakes?

"Ugh, tonight I'll go ask again for you! Forget about Mama Cocolia's matters for now, and Sister Bronie said she would bring Teacher Yang's signature back this time, for everyone."

"Okay! Thank you, Sister Sin!"

Sin bid farewell to Nina, left Nina's room, and happened to see Bronya coming out of Seele's room.

Every time she saw Bronya's face, Sin couldn't help but recall Bronie's mischievous smile while holding a little dress.

Her initially tough demeanor would immediately soften.

"Bronie!"

"Yeah?"

"That... that... carrying a gun with you, is that really okay? Aren't you afraid of hurting others?"

Darn it!

Sin Mal!

She's getting on her nerves!

The person in front of her isn't Bronie, it's Bronya!

"You don't have to worry about this, Sister Sin. Bronya has undergone professional training, and there are safety measures on firearms. As long as the safety is not off, the gun won't fire no matter what."

Saying that, Bronya took out the Mozambique shotgun from her hand and spun it a few times.

"Forget it, when Sister Bronie comes back, I will definitely tell her!"

"Do you want one? Designed by Sister Bronie, it's also included in the new game."

The best way to lighten punishment is naturally to find a comrade to share the burden or to let the person who might betray you join your gang.

Sin has also been trained and naturally knows how to use these weapons.

Seeing Bronya throwing a P2020 to her, Sin nervously caught it.

"I actually feel like I don't need to use these things... but it's also for everyone's safety."

"Yes, only Sister Sin can fight alongside Bronya."

Although the other children have also been trained, it's just child's play. Put them on the battlefield, and they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

The orphanage was quiet tonight.

After visiting all the children's rooms, Bronya returned to her own room and looked at herself in the dressing mirror, her faint smile reflected in it.

Every time she looked at herself in the mirror, Bronya would constantly remind herself that this happy life was hard-won, so she must protect it well!

But tonight, for some reason, she had an inexplicable sense of unease.

Intuition, the important feeling that allowed Bronya to survive on the battlefield until now. Bronya still believed in intuition, so she went to the window of her room and looked out into the pitch-black forest.

Under the moonlight, the forest was unnaturally quiet.

"Quiet? Why are there no bird calls outside the forest?"

Sensing something amiss, Bronya quickly drew the Mozambique from her waist.

The Mozambique is a shotgun that fires three rounds at a time, with a total of six rounds in reserve, meaning it can only fire two shots.

Each shot is crucial, and isn't the power of this gun a bit excessive?

Fortunately, Bronya also prepared another P2020, which has a very handy bullet counter and its damage won't spill over, with recoil so low it's almost negligible.

After preparing her weapons, Bronya entered a silent state of combat readiness and went out to the nearby forest silently. Even if it was just an illusion, Bronya wouldn't let any potential enemy attack go unpunished.

At this moment, Bronya transformed into a silent predator in the forest.

Because she had received training in this area, Bronya was very familiar with every corner of this forest.

She put on her tactical goggles and activated the thermal imaging function.

In the pitch-black forest, the white figures stood out conspicuously.

Switching to night vision mode, Bronya judged that these guys all had quite a few heavy weapons.

The situation was dire!

But with the information gap, Bronya was like a war Divine, quickly sneaking through the forest, ready to strike first!

"Sorry, Seele, and everyone at the orphanage, tonight might disturb your sleep..."

Gunshots shattered the peace of the forest, and suddenly the forest was filled with gunfire, like it was New Year's.

The children in the orphanage were instantly awakened, and Sin's heart was tense as she knew what this commotion represented.

The gunfire lasted for three minutes, and when the forest quieted down, Sin became nervous.

"Where's Sister Bronya!"

Seele got up, looked at everyone in the orphanage, but noticed that only Sister Bronya was missing. She was very worried, so she went to ask Sin about Sister Bronya's whereabouts.

"The answer is obvious, only Sister Bronya just fought the enemy, everyone, hide first. If something happens to Sister Bronya, then it's up to me..."

"Sister Bronya!!!"

A small figure walked out of the forest, and Seele immediately recognized the identity of the person, the highly recognizable twin drills. Seele rushed out.

But seeing Bronya covered in blood, Seele was shocked.

"Seele..."

"Ah!!! Don't, don't come over!!!"

Sin slapped her forehead, realizing that this situation had arisen. She was a bit worried that Bronya might scare Seele, but who knew that when Seele's legs kicked, her eyes closed, and she just lay down?

Seele was frightened by Bronya, and Bronya was also frightened by Seele's reaction.

She quickly came to Seele's side, ready to pick her up, but was stopped by Sin.

"You have so much blood on you, go wash up quickly! And how could you confront the enemy without me this time? Do you want to die?"

"Bronya judged that these people were just a bunch of rabble, and didn't even bring night vision goggles or thermal imaging for their night operations, so Bronya thought she could handle them alone. Sorry for disturbing you."

Sin sighed and rubbed her temples. She also understood that Bronya was that kind of strange person.

But this expressionless person who didn't care about her life even when covered in blood was really scary.

"Forget it, go take a shower. I'll keep watch tonight. You rest first. Sister Bronya was right, there might be more attacks coming. You could have activated the drones in Sister Bronya's office to automatically sweep those enemies."

"But Bronya just..."

"I understand, I understand. You don't want to bother Sister Bronie, you don't want to make Sister Bronie worry. Forget it, let's worry about your matters after Sister Bronie comes back!"

Bronya tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

"Did Bronya do something wrong?"

"Darn it! I'll ignore you!!!"

...

After bidding farewell to Welt, Bronie didn't rest for a moment.

After checking the shrine in Nagazora City and not finding Yae Sakura and the semi-finished Divine Key left over from the previous era, she immediately returned to the orphanage.

It's not that Bronie didn't want to carefully search for the Divine Key, but it was just lying there, unknown to anyone, and Sin said that the orphanage had been attacked by mercenaries hired by an unknown organization, so Bronie was very worried that there might be more attacks to come.

Children are more important than the Divine Key, and Bronie is clear about that.

But upon returning to the orphanage and entering the gate, Bronie felt a strange atmosphere.

"Uh, kids, I'm back. Why isn't anyone welcoming me?"

Bronya peeked in, then walked expressionlessly.

"Welcome back, Sister Bronie."

"Hmm? Where's Sin? And everyone else?"

"Since yesterday, after Bronya dealt with those enemies, it seems everyone's been avoiding Bronya, and Bronya doesn't know why~"

"You dealt with them? What about the drones?"

"They... they weren't activated. Bronya thought she could handle those enemies alone."

Sure enough, just as Sin had said, Bronya didn't even realize what she had done wrong, nor did she care much about her own life.

"Come on, Bronya, come with me to the office. I'll tell you exactly what you did wrong."

Chapter 75: Seele's Unease

Whenever Bronie saw Bronya's bewildered expression, Bronie couldn't help but feel helpless.

One could only say that the so-called Silver Wolf Squad truly deserved to perish!

However, Bronie decided to leave this opportunity for revenge to Bronya to handle herself.

Whether to let them go or to pursue them to the death, in any case, she was too lazy to bother with so many things.

Bronya's indifference to her own life was precisely because the children at the orphanage cared about her. Seeing Bronya's indifferent attitude, Bronie couldn't help but feel angry.

Bronie carefully explained the situation to Bronya, then instructed her to apologize to everyone and prepare a small gift to make amends, and that would be the end of it.

It was Seele who seemed particularly affected. According to Sin, Seele had been frightened unconscious by Bronya's bloodied appearance, and Sin was worried that Seele might suffer from some kind of trauma or develop symptoms related to Honkai.

Sin's worry was not unfounded.

Bronie also knew that Seele was a Stigmata Awakener. If something really happened, it would be best to have Mobius check her out.

But then they would have to take Seele on a trip to the Elysian Realm.

Seele was still young and her body hadn't fully developed yet. Going to the Elysian Realm would be too much of a burden on her body, so Bronie chose to observe conservatively.

Arriving at Seele's room.

Knocking on the door, then entering, Bronie was greeted by Seele's anxious expression.

"Are you okay, Seele? Did Bronya's appearance scare you? Did she apologize to you?"

Seele looked towards the corner of the bed where a plush toy lay.

"It seems Bronya is quite skillful with her hands. Did she make a plush toy for you?"

"Yeah... I'm fine, Sister Bronie..."

"Sometimes your body can deceive you, and don't be afraid to trouble everyone. That's what Bronya thinks, which is why she went alone to confront the enemy."

"Yeah..."

Seele weakly responded, as if she really wanted to say something.

But in the end, she gave up and spilled it.

"Seele is actually very sorry about what happened with Bronya. Bronya was clearly trying to protect everyone, and I fainted directly out of fear. I must have made Bronya very sad, right?"

"Not necessarily, after all, Bronya knows that blood and dead bodies can easily cause fear in people. But have you experienced any hallucinations recently, or have you had any brief episodes of memory loss?"

"Why, why does Sister Bronie ask?"

"Because the symptoms on Seele's body are actually very special, but there's no need to worry, nothing bad will happen. Do you know about Vill-V?"

"Is that Teacher Vill-V? I always feel weird when taking online classes with her."

"Yes, Vill-V has eight personalities in her mind, each one almost independent, but they get along very well. Although only three of them usually come out actively."

This news shocked Seele. She had always felt that Vill-V's behavior was a bit strange, but due to the limited time spent with her and the barrier of the internet and screen, Seele just thought it was strange and didn't think too much about it.

Could it be that Sister Bronie has noticed something?

"If you have anything on your mind, just tell me, I'll find a way to solve it."

"That! Sister Bronie!"

"Hmm?"

"Sister Bronie should know about Stigmata, right..."

Seele slowly placed her hand on her chest and slowly unbuttoned her shirt.

The red patterns looked like tattoos, appearing abruptly under Seele's neck.

"Congratulations."

"Huh?"

"With the power of the Stigmata, you no longer need to worry about the effects of Honkai on your body. There shouldn't be any side effects. If you can use this power well, it can also be a tool to protect everyone at home."

Bronie patted Seele's head, and Seele was also very surprised.

"Really not..."

"I'm not Cocolia. The Stigmata is a plan left behind by the civilization destroyed by Honkai. Everything has been concluded, there's no value in studying it further, and there's nothing you need to know through the Stigmata. Just think of it as having an extra tool in your hands to help you fight against Honkai and protect your family."

Hearing this, 'Seele' seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, this little action couldn't escape Bronie's notice.

"But then again, Vill-V has given different names to her different personalities. The one you usually encounter during class is the Magician, the one who does research is the Specialist, and the one responsible for integrating all the personalities is the Conductor. To be honest, that way of naming is really crappy, right?"

"Yes, yes..."

'Seele' sensed Bronie's insinuation and felt her heart tighten.

"Alright, since there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal with your body for now, let's leave it at that. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must speak up. Don't worry about inconveniencing others. If you end up hurting yourself, it would pain me as well," Bronie said.

With that, Bronie prepared to bid farewell to Seele, who showed no intention of detaining her.

Seele appeared to be filled with many questions and a certain level of unease.

However, after a brief exchange, 'Seele' seemed to settle down and began contemplating her own existence.

As Bronie left Seele's room, she spotted Bronya squatting at Seele's door, waiting for her.

"Um, Bronya, about Seele..."

"She's fine. If you have any questions, ask Seele yourself and see if she's willing to talk to you," Bronie responded.

"Okay, I'll go ask Seele," Bronya replied.

"Also."

"Hmm?"

"The stuffed toy is made very well!" Bronie patted Bronya's head, and Bronya smiled happily.

Back at the orphanage, life returned to its usual tranquility.

However, Bronie and Welt exchanged contact information. Whenever Welt had spare time, they discussed enormous robots.

Topics included the possibility of manufacturing Titans of different ranks, the potential for Titans to fly for combat, various parameters of Titans, and energy-related issues.

From Bronie's current knowledge base, manufacturing Titans seemed relatively straightforward. However, she hesitated. If she created Titans for Anti Entropy, would Schicksal come knocking?

Would that be inappropriate?

Thus, Bronie mostly skirted around the topic and explained her reasons. Afterward, Welt didn't inquire about the Titan specifications again.

Instead, he invited her to design some practical combat giant robots!

Although Bronie enjoyed Gundam, discussing giant robots every day seemed somewhat off-topic.

Bronie's current primary occupation was game development!

After visiting Seele, Bronie's game company released a new promotional video for the upcoming Apex Legends, focusing on gameplay and introducing the skills of each legend in the game. Then, they opened pre-downloads two days in advance to the world.

The number of players downloading the game that day exceeded tens of millions, which surprised Bronie.

Fortunately, there was the option of pre-downloading. Otherwise, Bronie wouldn't have realized that her game could be so popular. After seeing such a high download volume, Bronie immediately contacted Mr. Welt to prepare more servers on the Anti Entropy side.

Of course, Bronie's team also worked overtime to squeeze out some servers, so that when the game launched, players wouldn't be unable to play due to too many people.

The main draw for players was the gameplay.

In an environment without Battle Royale games, Apex's gameplay was a breath of fresh air.

Many game company bosses wished they could pry open Bronie's head to see what she was thinking!

Undertale and Spiritfarer were considered relatively good.

Civilization, Elden Ring, and even the upcoming Kirby and Mario games were all packed with fun gameplay.

Coupled with the incredibly high production of Haxxor Bunny, Haxxor Bunny Productions had become a gold standard, and its products were sure to be of high quality.

No one thought that Mario Odyssey was not fun, nor did anyone think that Kirby was too childish.

Games are meant to bring joy to people, and Haxxor Bunny has proven this with its actions. Therefore, more people started to pay attention to what kind of game Haxxor Bunny would make next.

Even Otto was paying attention to this game.

Not for any other reason, but since playing Kirby with Amber, Amber even bought and played Mario during her own break time.

Although the plumber uncle looked weird, the addictive sound effects, pleasant music, and highly recognizable image, Otto knew that Haxxor Bunny was building an IP and paving the way for the sequel with the game.

As for why Otto paid attention to Apex Legends again this time?

That was because Amber sent a message, saying that Haxxor Bunny and Homu Entertainment had formed a cooperation. Homu Entertainment was the archenemy of Schicksal Entertainment, and behind Homu Entertainment was Anti Entropy.

This easily caught Amber's attention and was indeed worth Otto's attention.

"Bishop."

Amber felt helpless. She didn't know how many times she had reminded Otto to work behind him.

At this moment, Otto was in front of the computer, just entering the game, watching the opening CG of the game.

"Do you have something to say, Amber?"

"Bishop, Haxxor Bunny and Homu Entertainment have cooperated, but I don't think we can see anything from the game."

"Is that so? But do you know the name of the next game Haxxor Bunny announced?"

"Titanfall... But that can't be Anti Entropy's Titan."

"Hmm, don't you understand yet? The outrageous anti-cheating measures, the highly personalized programming methods, and some algorithms that ordinary people have never touched so far are the keys to Haxxor Bunny's high productivity. Are you sure her games won't convey any information?"

This time, Amber didn't say anything.

Otto was actually analyzing Haxxor Bunny through the game!

"So remember to invite Haxxor Bunny to this year's annual meeting. If she comes, I have a way to check her. If she doesn't come, she's guilty, and I will use Schicksal Entertainment to threaten her to appear in front of me."

Don't blame himself for being despicable. After all, the technology that Haxxor Bunny possessed was indeed questionable.

The most important thing was in Elden Ring. Even the music used blatantly used a composer named Eden.

Who was Eden?

Otto naturally knew, the artist of the previous civilization, the actual user of the Ninth Divine Key.

He didn't think using this name was a coincidence.

"Well, Bishop, please don't get too addicted to playing games. You still have a lot of documents to handle."

"Relax, Amber, everything is under my control. Instead of saying Haxxor Bunny made Kirby and Mario, besides showing off, she might actually have a lot of children by her side, so the game production largely reflects her life status, such as the Titanfall."

Amber didn't want to hear Otto's sophistry anymore, so she left Otto's office without looking back.

"Children who don't know how to enjoy life can still be a qualified bishop's secretary. After I step down, I can still assist Theresa well in taking over the position of archbishop..."

...

"What!? Because your Anti Entropy intelligence network couldn't find the employer of those mercenaries, you directly assumed it was Schicksal's doing?"

"Listen to me, Bronie. Anti Entropy's intelligence network is still very extensive, but the biggest blind spot is on Schicksal, and Schicksal has always been conducting human experiments, so they are the most motivated to capture those children."

Welt was explaining to Bronie earnestly. The fast communicator sent by Bronie had extremely covert communication capabilities, even Schicksal couldn't detect it.

And Bronie gave the blueprint of this communicator to Anti Entropy for the purpose of their intelligence network.

Welt readily agreed, but the information provided was not what Bronie wanted.

"Since Anti Entropy thinks so, what else can I say? I hope that in the future, the information Anti Entropy provides to me won't disappoint me again. To fight against the Honkai, there are definitely more than just Anti Entropy and Schicksal. That's all I have to say."

Helpless, Bronie could only resort to using Ash Serpent, but every time she used it, it meant the risk of being discovered by World Serpent.

After hearing Bronie's words, Welt couldn't help but complain inwardly. What did Bronie know about intelligence?

Every time Bronie revealed something, it made people eager to know more.

After telling Tesla about this matter, Welt once again entered a state of indifference to matters not related to him.

Playing games first.

It was said that there were giant robots, and he didn't know if they would appear in this online game.

Chapter 76: Meeting in the Game

In the initial version of Apex, there weren't too many legends available to play. There was Gibraltar, who could deploy shields, Lifeline, who could heal and summon supply drops, Bloodhound, who could track opponents, Bangalore, who could summon airstrikes and release smoke bombs, Wraith, who could phase shift, and the robot who could use hooks.

Of course, there was also the last character, a paid legend who could release poisonous gas.

With only this many characters, there was also one mysterious character that hadn't been updated yet but would be in subsequent seasons.

What is a Season Pass?

So far, Bronie hasn't released any news about it, but everyone could anticipate the fact that characters would have a fee, after all, don't online games have places where they charge money?

But players found that as long as they played long enough, they could eventually unlock new characters.

And the performance of characters wouldn't affect the game's balance; each legend had its own unique abilities and was irreplaceable in a team.

So, regarding this payment model, netizens were actually worried that Haxxor Bunny might lose money.

"Su, if you steal my airdrop again, I'll be angry with you!"

In the Elysian Realm, Kevin became obsessed with this game. He, Su, and Kalpas formed a team and were currently playing ranked matches in the game.

From parachuting, to fighting after landing, and then fighting while running, this game mode was quite interesting.

At least in the civilization of the previous era, Kevin had never played this kind of game mode.

"Whoever sees it first, gets it. Also, I'm much better at sniping than you."

"Say, what's the name of the red weapon gun in the airdrop?"

"Mastiff shotgun."

"Is this a sniper rifle?"

"My sniper rifle has a close combat weapon to protect myself, isn't that reasonable?"

"But you already have Wraith's phase shift!"

"Is that okay? Doesn't your robot also have the flexibility of a grappling hook?"

Su just dismissed him.

At this moment, a teammate's voice suddenly appeared in the voice chat.

"Ah! I'm critically wounded and down!"

"What are you two talking about? Didn't you see me critically wounded and down?"

Kalpas used Bloodhound to kill many enemies, but couldn't withstand being outnumbered. In the face of a concentrated attack from multiple opponents, his gun, no matter how accurate, couldn't withstand being focused on and output under the open sky.

Apex was a game with relatively long death timer, and each character had evolving armor, increasing the armor's health based on the damage dealt, up to 25% more than the original health.

By the time they reached the finals, the three-person squad already had full red armor, except for the special sniper rifle, Kraber, that only appeared in airdrops. Other weapons were impossible to take down people with a single move.

Then the three of them started drifting.

As one of the Flame Chasers, their combat power and reflexes were top-notch, but even so, they could still feel the pressure from the players of this civilization.

From parachuting, to picking up guns after landing, to fighting while running away from the DoT circle and being blocked by opponents outside the circle.

The pace of the whole game was so fast that from the moment they landed from the plane, they were almost constantly fighting, without a break.

And every new game brought a different experience, so the three of them quickly became addicted.

Kosmo really wanted to play along, but he was bad at speaking and didn't dare to invite people.

Fortunately, Griseo could play with them. With Sakura joining later, they reluctantly formed a team and had a blast playing.

On the first day of the game's release, forums and video websites online seemed quieter.

The online player count exceeded tens of millions and was still steadily rising.

Luckily, Bronie had prepared well in advance, otherwise, no one would be able to play the game, wouldn't that be awkward?

But for Eden, a game like this didn't seem as interesting as Civilization.

It was just okay to accompany Elysia and play together.

Girls, in fact, didn't really like fighting, and Elysia preferred interacting with everyone.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see the opponents' reactions when she defeated them, which took away a lot of the fun.

It was better to play around with Kalpas in the Elysian Realm.

"Bronie!"

Bronya sat in front of the computer, manipulating the mouse frantically on the mouse pad.

When Bronie came over, Bronya greeted her but still focused on the game.

Yes, Bronya was also playing Apex and quickly became addicted, starting her parachuting journey with Sin and Isabella.

"Don't get too addicted to playing games. Remember to complete your homework and come over for meals."

Bronie reminded her.

"Yes, Bronie, when will Bronya be able to make interesting games like Bronie?"

Bronya was envious. By waiting only ten seconds for a match through ranked matchmaking, Bronya knew that this game was very popular now, even after several hours, players' enthusiasm remained high.

In this map called the Kings Canyon, in Skull town with a sense of strategic design, as long as one parachuted into this area, the sense of accomplishment when they walked out of it was truly high.

Complex terrain, abundant loot, and countless players as greedy as themselves, as well as crazier opponents after leaving Skull town.

It was obvious that such a design was meant to drive the pace of the whole game and enhance player interaction.

"If you really want to do it, why not just start? Although it's possible to fail at the beginning, what can't defeat you will eventually become your stepping stone."

"Those who can't defeat Bronya will eventually become Bronya's stepping stones? Did Bronie also come this way?"

"No, according to the legend, this game made me rise to the top in one go. I'm a genius, so succeeding the first time is only natural."

Well, Bronya felt she had been bragged about. Sometimes Bronie just didn't know what humility was.

But looking at these games in her hands, Bronya was also very sure that her sister Bronie was indeed a genius.

Good at observing human hearts, good at discovering joy.

"Of course, I also believe you have the same talent, but talent still needs diligence to nurture. Otherwise, it's like a seed that's been dried out by the wind, it will never bloom."

"There's still a lot to learn, but Bronya will work hard!"

"As long as you're happy."

Interest is very important for learning, but when this thing is related to your life, it's also full of efficiency.

Just like Bronie herself.

Her abilities needed data to activate, the more detailed the information she knew, the faster she could activate, and overall, there was definitely a difference compared to those who relied on logic.

In the dangerous Sea of Quanta, if you didn't have any abilities, you'd definitely end up dead.

So Bronie also endured her displeasure and forced herself to study diligently.

Actually, Bronie didn't want Bronya to go through such a terrible experience. The past is behind them, and it's best to focus on being happy in the present and future.

So Bronie reached out and patted Bronya's head gently.

"I've made my selection. The pre-delay on the Revenant's ability is quite long, but the robot is even more agile than the Revenant. Gibraltar's shield also offers plenty of maneuverability, and I've made some modifications to the base code in the game engine."

"Hmm? Bronya, I'm not sure I understand."

"Under specific circumstances, a character's flexibility greatly increases. For example, with the sliding option, regardless of whether you're on flat ground or a slope, it increases ground movement speed. Also, sliding after wall running can cancel the post-wall run action delay and accelerate."

"Although Bronya trusts Bronie, she doesn't feel capable of performing such maneuvers at the moment."

"You're playing solo in a team of three, right?"

"Yes."

Since Bronie recommended the robot, Bronya decided to give it a try.

Every character needs to be tried out, but adjusting to different characters takes time, so Bronya hadn't played as the robot yet.

After all, its ultimate ability didn't seem aggressive; it seemed more like a team support type, which Bronya didn't prefer.

"Watch and let me show you! Besides being a genius at game development, I'm also a genius at playing!"

Bronie took over Bronya's computer, and Bronya obediently moved aside to make room for Bronie.

Then, Bronie entered the settings interface and changed the mouse scroll wheel to jump and move forward.

"Why..."

"Because the mouse scroll wheel can trigger multiple clicks with each scroll, and agility relies on precise commands within one to three frames. Pay attention, we're targeting Skull Town!"

"There are many players landing in Skull Town. It's a complex area with rich resources, so many players choose it, making it the most intense fighting area on the entire map."

"I know. I intentionally designed it this way so everyone can feel the fun of this game intuitively. But after the season pass is released, a meteorite will fall on Skull Town, and then map resources will be redistributed."

"Why?"

"We need to consider this from the perspective of the game developer and the game's lifespan. If players jump to the same place every day, they'll eventually get bored. So, distributing resources evenly, although it may reduce initial fights, will allow everyone to have other ways to play. This time, our teammate is someone named Otto. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Do you know him?"

"His IP is also from Austria. Maybe he really is Schicksal's Archbishop. In a few days, when I give a lecture on Honkai, I'll tell you about Otto's past love affairs and how he became the Archbishop."

Bronya didn't quite understand, but she was deeply impressed.

Mr. Otto was the first to choose a character, and he immediately locked in Bloodhound.

It seemed that he valued intelligence, but who wouldn't like a character who could see through walls, activate a big ability, and kill enemies with red eyes?

Bronie also liked Bloodhound at the beginning.

Next, Bronie locked in the robot, and another random teammate chose a healer.

"Um, actually, a healer isn't necessary in this game, but Lifeline's airdrop can supply based on the items in your backpack, so it still has its uses."

"I see."

Bronya nodded, and at this moment, the random teammate handed the parachute command over to Bronie.

And Otto?

He was marking a location.

It seemed like he really wanted to stay away from Skull Town.

Then Bronie marked Skull Town, and Otto's marking behavior stopped.

"Are you serious?"

The voice chat in the team expressed doubt.

The game has been online for a while, and the most discussed topic is naturally the infamous Skull Town.

No other meaning, it's just that landing there guarantees purple armor, plus all kinds of accessories, and once you leave Skull Town, you become a god of war. Who wouldn't like this kind of gameplay?

"Don't worry, let me show you my skills! Even if I die, it's okay. After all, there's resurrection, and I'll definitely resurrect you guys."

The young voice silenced the two, and at this moment, Otto really wanted to parachute alone, but he didn't dare to jump too far.

But if he jumped too close, he would definitely encounter players outside surrounding Skull Town, and he alone couldn't beat three people.

"I really don't know where you get your confidence from. Could you be cheating?"

"Just watch my gameplay!"

Parachuting, diving, landing, all in one breath.

Looking at the dense trails in the sky, Otto felt his scalp tingle.

He knew about Skull Town from several previous games. It's so popular, and according to insider information, it's a limited-time map deliberately created by Haxxor Bunny and will be deleted later.

"Being so excited isn't my style, but since you said so, I'll take a good look."

Otto chose to land near Bronie, and in Bronya's eyes, Bronie quickly picked up a gun from the ground.

"With the Peacekeeper, after aiming, you can narrow the bullet spread. With only 150 health after landing, two shots are basically a kill, let's start with one."

Watching Bronie control the grappling hook, agilely navigating through the three-dimensional buildings, sliding and killing upon landing, all in one go, the white armor instantly upgraded to blue.

"Be careful! Second enemy!"

Bronie didn't panic, but slid away from the window directly, skillfully climbed onto the roof in mid-air. At this moment, Otto's scan was in place, watching the room full of people turn into chaos, Bronya finally realized how intense Skull Town was.

"Ah! I'm critically wounded and down!"

"Not good! I'm critically wounded and down!"

Two teammates fell in succession, which didn't surprise Bronya. After all, it was normal.

[Polite Blast Fist killed Otto]

[Silent Frost killed Raiden Homu]

"They're even finishing us off..."

"Finishing you off is because resources are limited, bullets are not enough, so you have to get extra bullets from the opponent."

As Bronie spoke, she also pulled out an R99 from another box and took out batteries and arc stars from the box.

Then Bronie threw a grenade on Otto's box, scaring off the surrounding players, and then jumped onto the box to pick up the box's brand, using the explosive force of the grenade and the pulling force of the grappling hook, Bronie controlled the robot and disappeared from the scene.

In the enemy's view, Bronie seemed like a dirty thing suddenly appearing and disappearing.

"Cool~"

Bronya couldn't help but praise.

"Your skills, aren't they something a player should have when the game just started?"

The random teammate was already calculating his 6, but Otto felt something was off.

"Hmph, is this it? Isn't this just something you can do easily with your hands?"

This sentence directly silenced Otto, no, he couldn't argue with a child.

"But the team that just killed you, each of them was quite accurate, and the Revenant, the sniper, was quite accurate... If I hadn't been able to maneuver in the air, I'm afraid I would have died here."

"Yeah, I didn't expect so many game masters in this game. I just showed up and got killed. It's definitely not because of my poor skills."

Otto certainly wouldn't admit that he was incapable, but according to Bronie's speculation, it's probably because when he scanned, he exposed his position, and there was only one team around, so the heroic trio definitely targeted him.

"I said I'd lead you guys to fly, and I will. Next, it's my battle with those three."

"Aren't you going to run away!? They're so accurate, could it be they're using cheats?"

Homu couldn't help but quip. Games always have cheaters in multiplayer games, even childish games have cheating players, not to mention shooting games!

"Relax, if there really are cheaters in this game, then I'll definitely meet that cheater and have a good chat with him. But for now, watch me play!"

...

Sitting in front of the computer, Su listened to Kevin's indifferent reports through voice chat, and cautiously watched out for enemies around him.

Because just now, a player controlling a robot slipped away from under his nose like a big black rat. Just as he aimed to kill the opponent, the opponent seemed to predict it, directly disconnected the rope, and performed a gorgeous turn in the air, fleeing to the depths of Skull Town.

This seamless operation directly shocked Su.

He never expected that the character's operation in this game could be so flexible.

"Kalpas, Kevin, we might encounter tough opponents soon."

"Yeah, I saw it too. Using grenades to force us to take cover, compress our field of vision, then picking up the teammate's card, and using the explosive force of the grenade to speed up their escape. This player isn't simple."

Kevin also said so.

"Very well! Finally, there's an opponent worthy of my fight! I'm almost tired of playing this game!"

Kalpas was excited.

"No, the opponent is likely to run away. After all, there are three of us here, and only one lone wolf on the other side. Skull Town doesn't have many people left, and if we don't leave soon, the surrounding players will come to surround us."

Su's judgment was correct, which is also the mindset that a normal player should have.

This made Kalpas somewhat disappointed.

"Tch, just an interesting chase?"

As soon as Kalpas's voice fell, a sound of grappling was heard.

The robot's ultimate ability is to create a usable zip line, and because the skill is simple, the cooldown is very short.

But unexpectedly, this zip line was not used to escape, but was thrown onto the roof above Su's head!

"Kevin, Kalpas, it seems that the opponent doesn't intend to run away, but has declared war on us!"

"Every era has its heroes, even in games, such spirit is commendable, we can't run away!"

"Hahaha! Come on! Let me see what you're made of!"

At this moment, Kalpas activated the scan, and the three of them began to act!

Chapter 77: Searching for Real People in the Virtual World, You must be having a Brain Disorder

"I believe that for one person to take on three opponents is a highly irrational move because the time to eliminate one player in this game is quite long, allowing the other two to focus fire and eliminate the player,"

Mr. Otto stated, adopting a different demeanor online.

His cautious demeanor struck Bronie as ridiculous.

Agreeing with Mr. Homu's sentiment, he added, "Indeed, how about we lend a helping hand? Besides, my healing robot can be quite useful."

"Sidekick and Peacekeeper? What sort of weapon combination is this!?" Otto exclaimed as he witnessed Bronie pick up the Sidekick.

"Running low on ammo, so I have to use the weapon with the highest output. While this may seem a bit arrogant, believe me, I won't fail. My name will echo throughout the network, and this AlloyBron will reign supreme in the gaming world!" Bronie boasted confidently.

Such audacious claims! Even Mr. Homu felt a surge of excitement upon hearing them.

As for Otto?

"Are you Haxxor Bunny?"

"Cough cough! How could that be possible? Just because someone can develop games doesn't mean they can play them, right? So it's highly unlikely that I am Haxxor Bunny!" Bronie felt a twinge of guilt, but Bronya found the situation amusing.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kalpas's scan dart flew over.

"Oh no, we've been scanned!" Mr. Homu warned.

"No need for your reminder, I'm aware. The scan won't last long, at most it'll just reveal the nearby enemies' positions. I'll temporarily block their path with arc stars," Bronie replied, tossing an arc star towards Mr. Kalpas, immediately slowing down the two adversaries.

Taking cover in a spot to apply armor, Bronie listened intently to the enemy's movements.

"Why aren't they using the zipline, even though you deployed it?" Mr. Homu queried.

"Because anyone using the zipline becomes an easy target. While it's fast, they all think they can be hit, so why would they assume I can't hit them? Here they come!" Bronie explained.

As expected, the opponents attempted to surround them. They planned to use thrown weapons to flush Bronie out of cover, then use their strong aiming skills to take them down.

Primarily because Bronie had provoked them first, their impulsive temperaments refrained from reckless charges, also because there was no mocking interaction.

This approach wouldn't foster a harmonious online environment, so Bronie refrained, thus preventing the three brothers from losing their composure.

Even Mr. Kalpas acted similarly.

Exiting the room, they encountered the revenant lurking at the door.

Bronie and the revenant exchanged glances, then simultaneously opened fire!

The Sidekick landed a shot, dealing 75 points of damage, immediately putting the revenant in a state of broken armor. With the blue armor and health combined, it totaled only 175.

But Bronie also sustained significant damage. However, the Sidekick's rate of fire was faster. While leaping between buildings, Bronie fired a second shot, hitting the revenant's body, and at that moment, Bronie also entered the building.

"Kevin."

"Be careful, he's behind you!"

"What!?" Su exclaimed in surprise.

Just when Su thought they had exchanged health points, expecting the opponent to temporarily retreat, Bronie climbed up directly, and the Peacekeeper was already aimed at him.

A shot to the body caused Su to collapse to the ground, and after falling, the second shot to the head turned Su into a box. Bronie swiftly opened the box and retrieved the armor inside.

Instantly, Bronie's armor was replenished.

"The opponent's armor is broken, hurry and chase!" Su exclaimed in surprise.

Su hadn't expected this turn of events. He quickly informed Kevin and Kalpas.

Kalpas had been waiting for a while and climbed up. However, despite the R99 hitting, Kalpas noticed that Bronie still had armor!

"Are they underestimating me by sending them one by one?"

"Isn't Bronie intentionally separating them to eliminate them?" Bronya speculated.

But if the three stuck together, Bronie wouldn't stand a chance.

Yet, who would have thought each opponent was so confident?

But the opponents also possessed exceptional marksmanship. Every encounter resulted in an exchange of health points. Bronya hadn't anticipated Bronie's swift armor switch, and the opponents likely hadn't considered it either.

"Su! Didn't you say their armor was broken?"

Su was also taken aback. Through Kalpas's perspective, he clearly saw that the opponent was fully armored after a burst of gunfire.

Even if the R99 landed a full burst, it couldn't completely kill someone. Yet, Bronie's Peacekeeper managed to put Kalpas down with just two shots.

Then, Kalpas raised his shield and wasn't taken down in one hit. At this moment, Kevin also followed closely behind.

"It's because I changed my armor. The armor inside my box is full, and that's also the reason the opponent came for a backstab," Bronie explained directly. Then she slid again and disappeared into the building.

Kevin chose not to chase but instead approached Kalpas.

"The armor has upgraded to purple!" Kevin exclaimed.

"That's the revenant's armor. It means before encountering me, he was just a hundred points away from upgrading his armor to purple. I have to admit, he's quite capable," Bronie responded to the random Mr. Homu.

"But now that the opponent is becoming alert, we can't surprise them like this again," Otto also admired his teammate's actions to some extent.

After all, once they died and turned into banners, they could only watch Bronie's actions from a first-person perspective.

They were like ordinary soldiers on foot, while Bronie's movements seemed to be flying.

Was this the kind of gameplay expected in a shooting game? Otto couldn't say for sure, and that obvious mid-air maneuver was definitely not something achievable in real life.

Maybe it exploited some kind of bug? And they say you're not Haxxor Bunny!

"It's indeed impossible to surprise them like this again, but don't I still have you guys? After picking up the banners, there's no need to worry about the countdown. After I revive you later, we'll go back and fight! They still have something up their sleeves, aiming skills and siege tactics. They must be seasoned gamers," Bronie clarified, knowing full well that the opponents were not seasoned gamers but seasoned warriors.

But saying so was also to dispel their doubts.

When Otto heard Bronie's words, he found them amusing.

Did he not understand the tactical game between the two teams? Each of them had absolute confidence in their marksmanship, and they also covered every exit of the entire house.

Bronie chose to break through one direction, and even without information, she accurately located where the three might be. Another teammate seemed to have noticed something.

"Hmm, fascinating game," he said, completely pretending to know everything but acting as if he didn't.

Kevin helped Kalpas up and retrieved Su's banner. Fighting in Skull Town had taken too long. With the next ring closing in, running around inside the ring would inevitably lead to being chased and intercepted by other players. Kevin didn't want to encounter this unfavorable situation.

After reaching the respawn beacon, Bronie revived her teammates first, followed by looting equipment. Bronie kept the Peacekeeper, but she decided to avoid using the arrogant Sidekick gun as much as possible. Although the Sidekick was indeed very powerful, its margin for error was too low in dynamic combat, which would only torture herself. Close range, use the shotgun; long range, use the Hemlok or R301.

"Speaking of this energy rifle, is there a possibility of manufacturing it?"

Otto had no gun to use and could only hold onto the havoc.

However, as a sniper rifle, the only advantage of this gun was that it had no drop-off, truly hitting wherever you aimed. It seemed to pack quite a punch.

"From the current cutting-edge technology standpoint, it should be replicable, but the energy consumption of the laser is too high. I don't think it's feasible," Mr. Homu commented.

"Oh? It seems you're in the industry?"

Otto didn't expect Haxxor Bunny to stay silent but rather this not-very-talkative Mr. Homu enthusiast.

"Just have a knowledgeable friend. But making such a weapon doesn't seem very meaningful, right? According to this gun's design, it's clearly meant for anti-Titan use."

That's right, the energy rifle's description indicated it was an anti-Titan weapon, as was the Kraber. But now it was being used in this entertainment battlefield.

"Are you guys out of your minds? Looking for realism in a game?" Bronie ended the match directly, and the two fell silent.

"Nothing, I just think Miss Haxxor Bunny's design is quite interesting. Since I happened to come into contact with this field, I wanted to find some inspiration," Otto replied.

"You design weapons?"

Bronie wouldn't be engrossed in praise, even if the other party was the Archbishop of Schicksal. It's more accurate to say that in Bronie's eyes, Otto's position was like a thesis defense, where even a shower of praises wouldn't make one happy, right? Although this Otto was indeed talented and could be considered a gilded thesis.

"A little bit of everything, yo, it's them again? This time they're back, so everyone be careful," Otto felt a surge of competitiveness.

Then Bronie's team and Kevin's team, from parachuting to the final zone, encountered many teams trying to intervene along the way, making it seem like two immortals fighting, with mortals suffering the consequences.

Otto lived and died, while Mr. Homu became more supportive, even successfully ambushing Mr. Kalpas, who was caught off guard.

There were kill notifications in the top right corner of the map, and netizens recorded this match. Even if they didn't witness the battle of the two immortals firsthand, they could feel the intensity of the battle from both sides.

At the end of the game, Bronie put an end to it after picking up the Kraber.

The Kraber, which kills in one shot, naturally needs no explanation.

Bronie was actually dissatisfied with the modifications made to the Kraber in her previous life.

But now, Apex was in her hands, so she could change it however she wanted. Of course, she still had to consider the gameplay and balance, so one shot from the Kraber's body definitely wouldn't kill someone in red armor, but a headshot would certainly be fatal.

With Otto holding the havoc to suppress the enemy's health, Bronie easily ended the battle.

"How was that? Am I amazing?"

Looking at the screen where she became a champion, Bronya's eyes seemed to be shining, full of admiration.

"Amazing! Those movements, were they really done by changing the key bindings? And how come you can maintain your speed while healing?"

"Of course, but achieving this requires practice. Any skill requires time to practice, and that won't change," Bronie explained.

"Bronya will do it!"

"Games are meant to be played, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. I'm just showing you what a game should look like in the eyes of a game developer."

With that, Bronie edited the video and added this title: 'This is what Apex Legends looks like in the eyes of a game developer!'

Posting this video as Haxxor Bunny instantly attracted countless netizens to watch.

...

Putting down the game in his hands, Raiden Ryoma, who was idling in his office, repeatedly checked the accounts of the two teammates he happened to encounter. The account named Alloybron was obviously a new one, most likely someone involved in game development playing. That wasn't important. What was important was the other guy named Otto!

Do you know the Archbishop of Schicksal? Do you know about the Second Eruption?

Raiden Ryoma had experienced all that in the past, so he naturally had a deep impression of that guy. Normal people wouldn't choose that name as their ID, but would a normal Archbishop of Schicksal buy all the games in SBEAM?

That was a bit weird. So, based on the recording and the recorded voices, Raiden Ryoma immediately contacted people from Anti Entropy.

"I'd recognize that bastard's voice even if he turned to ashes... Wait, the voice of that little girl too..."

Then Tesla remembered her thirty kilograms of gold.

"Wow, Raiden Ryoma, what luck are you having? One side is the Archbishop of Schicksal, and the other side is a hacker who can break through our Titan operating system."

"Huh? How would I know? And how many games have you played?"

"Just... just..."

"Just?"

"Just about thirty or forty matches?"

Okay, when Raiden Ryoma said that, Tesla knew for sure it wasn't just that few.

"Forget it, this time it's just bad luck, but you contacted us for more than just this, right?"

"During the game, Otto asked Haxxor Bunny about the possibility of making an energy rifle. He seems interested in that kind of thing."

"Just this? Going to such lengths for such an unappreciated weapon, is he trying to deal with something? Does he think he can develop anti-Titan weapons just with this energy rifle?"

"So, you've also played..."

"No! I'm busy! I'm not interested in those bloody games of killing and fighting. I thought there were Titans in there, so I paid a little attention, but is this it?"

"But Otto is indeed interested."

"Hmm, I just saw Haxxor Bunny post a video, it's from the game just now, and my evaluation surprisingly matches Haxxor Bunny's rare appearance. Still, the caption in the description..."

"What?"

"Just look"

[Looking for real people in a virtual world, are you guys out of your minds?]

Chapter 78: The Impact of Haxxor Bunny's Titanfall Domination

[Haxxor Bunny: Well played, but I'm still one step ahead in skill.]

In the Elysian Realm, Bronie sent a message, which Su, Kevin, and Kalpas received together.

Shortly after, in the Elysian Realm, Su checked his phone.

This greeting almost made Su open his eyes.

[Lazy Tree Lover: Is this what a game developer sees as the finished product? @Silent Cold Ice @Polite Explosive Fist.

Silent Cold Ice: Well done.

Polite Explosive Fist: Let's go again!!!

Haxxor Bunny: I still have work to do. The game based on the background of the Apex world is in the final stages of development. When it's done, everyone will be able to fly more easily. Be sure to come and experience it!

Polite Explosive Fist: Ahhh! Coward!!!]

Apex's movements could indeed improve a player's upper limit, but the difficulty was enough to deter countless players. Fortunately, sliding, jumping, and wall-running weren't too difficult, and everyone could show off a bit.

Just this alone could bring players a lot of fun.

There was a feeling of getting stronger oneself.

After exchanging greetings with familiar faces in the game, Bronie still focused on the upcoming game production.

Many elements of Titanfall were provided by Bronie, but the employees in the company had also made a lot of effort.

For example, balancing issues in terms of numerical values, the physics parameters that needed to be modified in the game engine, and modeling aspects.

In order to train her subordinates' game development abilities and help herself turn various game ideas into finished products.

After all, Bronie had too many games she wanted to recreate, but the efficiency of one person was limited after all.

Of course, Bronie could also create AI to help herself produce those things, but whether overly advanced things would attract the attention of the Anti Entropy and Schicksal duo, Bronie couldn't say for sure.

So, all research stopped at the theoretical level, and if something were to be produced, it would still have to be judged by the two in Anti Entropy and in the Elysian Realm.

They had more experience and naturally knew how to do things without triggering Honkai Eruption.

And herself?

Just nonsense, or fishing out some useful information from the backyard world.

As for information, of course, hacking was the most skilled option.

Bronie had a very clear understanding of her own position.

Apex was going to be a hit without a doubt.

In Europe, Schicksal Entertainment was handling the distribution, while on the Far East side, it was naturally ME Club handling it, and on the American side, it was Homu Entertainment. In short, everyone was dining together, boosting the economy, and the development of the entire civilization was speeding up a bit.

Then the passes were also released, along with updates for two new Legend.

One was Watson, and the other was also known as Conduit.

And a brand-new payment model for online games—the Season Pass mode!

Complete certain special tasks within a specific time frame, and then the Season Pass level will continue to increase.

Players who don't spend money can also get a certain amount of rewards, and those who purchase the Season Pass can get more, such as new skins, cool outfits, loot boxes, and coins!

That's right, if you calculate it all, the amount of coins given by the entire Season Pass is actually more than what you would get for the same price during a spending spree!

This was simply a huge loss for Haxxor Bunny!

And even players who don't spend money can get a certain amount of coins. If they keep playing, they can also accumulate a certain amount of coins.

What does that mean?

Haxxor Bunny is losing money to the point of exploding, and it will inevitably go bankrupt sooner or later!

The people's desire to spend money is soaring, and ordinary players don't feel it's unfair at all, and even feel like they're earning.

That's the Season Pass.

Of course, after the novelty wears off, players will probably complain that playing games feels like going to work?

But Bronie wouldn't make the tasks too difficult, as long as there was a certain number of online players, it would be enough.

Daily life was always calm, and everyone in the orphanage was very obedient. Some children even proposed wanting to go to school in the nearby town, so as not to trouble Bronie and not to take up her work time.

But Bronie still felt a bit worried about the young children walking such a long way to school at such a young age.

So the requirement was to consider these things after entering junior high school, and at that time, buy everyone bicycles, or directly hire a driver to come and take them.

After a brief period of autism, Seele returned to normal, seemingly reconciling with herself. The other Seele, who enjoyed spicy food, saw Bronie frequently preparing spicy delicacies in the kitchen, mostly dishes from Shenzhou.

Apex stabilized, and Welt sent his congratulations, mentioning that Anti Entropy had found another source of funding.

Perhaps this money would be used to create Titans in Bronie's game, to combat Honkai.

Welt was eagerly anticipating Bronie's new work, "Titanfall."

This indirect urging for updates was quite clever. Considering Welt had lived with Joyce's face since childhood, lacking his own childhood, showing enthusiasm for things he was interested in was quite normal.

So Bronie cooperated well with Welt, discussing things he liked, such as drone architecture, Titan design challenges, and energy considerations without Honkai.

Patience and love were needed when dealing with the elderly, right?

At least Bronie still admired Mr. Welt from the bottom of her heart.

Just as the Apex pass was halfway through, Haxxor Bunny's usually quiet social media account posted new messages again!

That's right, "Titanfall" was here!

The previous video showed Bronie playing Apex under Bronia's account, with thousands of views, guiding all players as to what real Apex experts looked like.

Unfortunately, only a few people, through frame-by-frame analysis, figured out how Haxxor Bunny achieved these movements and replicated them through practice.

But most players could only manage a bit of sliding and wall-running.

Later, Bronie occasionally teamed up with Welt and played games with Elysia. Although each of them had their secrets, they still enjoyed each other's company.

But Welt couldn't quite understand why Elysia was so enthusiastic?

And her attitude toward Bronie was also ambiguous, which made even Old man Yang feel a bit strange. Their relationship seemed a bit too close.

Welt probably couldn't figure out the secrets behind it.

After a tiring day at work, Yang returned to his employee dormitory from school.

Then he immediately saw the message sent by Bronie.

The "Titanfall" he had been looking forward to was finally released!

And this time, according to Bronie's revelations, everyone in the game could become a war god like in the previous video. They could also find out what kind of power the warriors with the title of "Titan Pilotsr" possessed in the background of the Apex game!

Payment!

Then download the game!

The 63G content made Welt gasp in surprise.

It's going to take a long time to wait again!

But in a way, the size of the game also determined that there must be a lot of content.

Or the game itself required a lot of materials, and didn't Apex also require over 60G of space?

It was worth the wait for the huge robots!

After entering the download interface, Welt clicked on the download button and went to the kitchen to prepare himself something to eat.

Fortunately, the treatment of employees at St. Freya Academy was very good, and Welt was very satisfied with his routine life. Plus, the small joys brought by games made life here quite enjoyable.

Of course, Welt was constantly reminding himself that there were important things to investigate in the basement of St. Freya Academy. Perhaps the things there could help him fight against Honkai.

Although the help provided by Haxxor Bunny was also considerable.

Opening the live broadcast, Welt did a rare live stream.

["Uncle Yang loves big robots the most!"]

In such a live broadcast, he openly admitted that his favorite was the Arahato series under the works.

The audience instantly flooded into the live broadcast room.

"Hello, everyone. You must all know that the single-player game 'Titanfall,' based on Apex's background, is out now, right? You all know that I love giant robots, so I won't miss this game! You see, what people hate most in Apex, Kraber, is actually the anti-Titan weapons in this game. Let's see how they work in this game."

In fact, even in the multiplayer mode of "Titanfall," Kraber was usually used to attack players.

Of course, Welt naturally didn't know this. He just opened the game and entered the story mode.

"Let's start by introducing the importance of Titan Pilots on the battlefield. Have you noticed the jet pack around his waist? Apex relies on this to land, but I didn't expect Titan Pilots to use this jet pack even more flexibly, and this helmet looks pretty cool."

["Speed up! Speed up!"]

["Isn't this just a promotional CG? It was just released!"]

["Here it comes! Giant robots!"]

["Urge for updates! Urge for updates!"]

"Cough, the 'Homu Adventure' series and the latest Arahato series are already in progress. Please be patient. Now, our goal is to play the game!"

The function of the helmet became apparent, and then Welt saw the guy sliding on the wall after using the grappling hook.

The game started with Pilot's training.

And the player was just an ordinary rifleman.

"It's almost the same operation as in Apex, and the feel is very similar, but it seems a bit more flexible? But it's true, without a good physique, how can one pilot a Titan?"

After neural connection, the protagonist entered a virtual world-like place to undergo combat training.

This kind of combat training method had long been used by Schicksal and Anti Entropy, safe, reliable, and very efficient, but the public still didn't know about it.

Although Welt wanted to share this, he remembered he was live streaming, so he stopped himself.

Sliding, wall-running, and double jumping, were these platforming actions a bit exaggerated in an FPS game?

Indeed, Welt, watching the tutorial, felt like he was playing a first-person Mario game.

"Wow, look at these guns. Although there are some prototypes in reality, most of them are designed by Haxxor Bunny, right? R201, and R97. These models seem a bit old. The timeline should be before Apex."

["Amazing, did you analyze the plot so quickly? No wonder you're a senior in the creative field."]

["I didn't expect there to be so many tricks. Will Apex also introduce these guns in the future?"]

"Perhaps they will indeed. For example, the energy weapons here, some of which Apex hasn't introduced yet. It seems we can get a taste of them in this game first."

Welt chose a gun that felt comfortable and entered the shooting range.

This was something that had to be done in every first-person shooting game tutorial, but adding a story to the tutorial was a very good choice.

Because it made it easier to understand the background story of the world.

Leaving the shooting range, he entered the final assessment.

"Next is the obstacle course, right? Standard two minutes, are they underestimating me a bit? Huh? There's a ranking here too? Let me see..."

["No.1 Haxxor Bunny, 11.10 seconds."]

Behind were the times of other producers, but the fastest was also around twenty seconds.

This ranking directly silenced Welt.

Even the audience was silent.

["Is she cheating?"]

["As ridiculous as it sounds, it can't be that ridiculous, right?"]

["Finishing in 11 seconds with a two-minute standard, are you kidding me!"]

"Just because there's a first-person view recording here, let's see how she did it. Remember Haxxor Bunny's last battle video? Unfortunately, I didn't participate at the time, but I'm sure you all learned a lot of skills from it, right?"

After Welt said this, everyone remembered.

In Apex, the player and the ordinary player experienced different games compared to what Haxxor Bunny, as a producer, played!

First, let's switch to Haxxor Bunny's first-person view.

But there was a message left by Haxxor Bunny.

["Haxxor Bunny: Hello, hello, can you hear me? This is Haxxor Bunny. As you can see, this is the entry test for 'Titanfall,' the new game. Since there are time records and rankings, there must be competition, so I'll put my record here first. If you surpass it, Haxxor Bunny will have special rewards! But don't worry, I won't redeem them, after all, there haven't been any cases of cheating in Apex so far, right? So trust in my programming abilities. In short, there will definitely be surprises!"]

Then the character controlled by Welt began to act uncontrollably, holding grenades and going to a place further from the starting point.

"Bomb jump, Apex also has it. It's not very practical to accelerate without hurting the enemy, but using it as a starting point here..."

Welt could probably guess how Haxxor Bunny achieved such a fast world record.

The bomb exploded, the character flew up, and then another bomb exploded. The double acceleration flew into the starting point to start the timing.

Dropping a few grenades in the air and firing a few shots with the EVA-8 automatic shotgun, almost never touching the ground throughout, flew through the training course.

It really only took eleven seconds.

["Damn, is this the so called Titan Pilot? Is this an elite?"]

["Suddenly feel like Apex is too cumbersome!"]

["Let's see how Old Yang performs next! Old Yang, don't lose to Haxxor Bunny!"]

"Let me surpass Haxxor Bunny's record? Well, I think I'll pass on that. I feel like I can't do it. It's difficult just to control two grenades accurately and use bomb explosions for acceleration, let alone replicate it. But this is the game in the eyes of the producers. It's a very interesting perspective, isn't it?"

Welt also entered the training course, but he came out after thirty seconds. Although it was higher than Colonel Anderson in the rankings, the instructor praised him, but after seeing Haxxor Bunny's skills, Welt felt a bit slow.

"Never mind, let's not dwell on the training course. Let's focus on the distant Titans! The next step must be teaching how to operate the Titans! Let's continue!"

Chapter 79: Crossing the Norm, Death of Anderson

In fact, Welt's actions were correct, but Bronie's boasting of her first-place ranking easily triggered the boys' competitiveness.

"There's a girl over there!"

And judging by her voice, she's very young.

Since she can do it, why can't they?

With this mindset, some players, after downloading the game, hadn't even left the training level.

But this had little to do with Mr. Welt anymore.

"Next is the Titan piloting training, and I'm really looking forward to it!"

Immediately, the scene changed to an open space with the instructor's Titan BT-7274 not far away. The instructor explained the background, stating that the Titans used by the rebels were originally stolen from the IMC, but the ones currently in use were developed independently by the rebels.

As a rifleman, the protagonist shouldn't have been involved in Titan training, but the Titan instructor in front of him immediately recognized the protagonist's talent.

But just as Welt was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Titan, the screen suddenly flickered.

"Ah! Enemy attack, can't access the Titan!"

Welt felt a bit regretful, but there was nothing he could do. The tutorials were all over, and he was about to be thrown into the battlefield. He could only consider the Titan issue after returning alive.

Entering the drop pod, with the protagonist's nervous breathing and the countless explosions outside, the game officially began.

The game started with a crash landing. The protagonist remained in the drop pod, able to catch only a glimpse of the outside environment in the cramped space.

"A gun in hand, facing enemies as soon as you land. It seems the protagonist's luck isn't very good this time, oh..."

Suddenly, a drop pod flew by, crushing nearby teammates into pulp. The surrounding battlefield was engulfed in chaos, and the feeling of being in the midst of it all was overwhelming.

Suddenly, an enemy Titan dropped from the sky, easily crushing the nearby teammates. But the instructor promptly piloted his Titan and killed it, saving the protagonist's life.

He even pulled the protagonist to safety for treatment, his meticulous care instantly earning Welt's favor.

"Cool~ What a great instructor. But our protagonist is also severely injured. Just after landing, he was injected with something like a stimulant. Perhaps it's the protagonist's luck that's at play here, but I'm quite drawn to this, the heroism."

Then Welt saw the instructor being besieged by other Titans, and then falling in front of him.

One Titan seemed to phase shift like a Wraith, while another had heavy firepower.

When the protagonist regained consciousness, a passing beast was about to bite him.

Fortunately, the instructor's damaged Titan came back to life, saving the protagonist's life.

"Cooper! Use my helmet, use my jump kit, this isn't child's play. Also, take care of her for me... BT-7274..."

Inheritance.

Such a scene touched Welt deeply.

Back then, Joyce, just before dying, passed on his core to Welt as well.

When Welt saw this scene, he fell silent.

But when he saw the barrage of comments, Welt knew he couldn't show too much deviation.

"I didn't expect the way for the protagonist to become a Titan pilot would be like this. War is indeed cruel, but there's no choice. Let's continue fighting in his honor! This Titan will be our comrade!"

Seeing the protagonist put on the helmet, a bunch of code appeared in the upper left corner.

Then the personal cloaking system started!

"The UI looks good, and our new Titan is a Vanguard-class Titan. I don't know if there are any other classes, let's take a closer look."

Welt had long been eager to try it out, but the plot created by Haxxor Bunny made it seem as if it were targeted at him, dampening his mood by half.

But such plots were quite common, everyone liked them, so Welt couldn't say much.

Only those who had truly experienced that kind of unforgettable inheritance wouldn't find such things amusing.

"Well, it's only this big, smaller than I imagined, but it's still good. The joint structure is quite interesting, and I heard that Haxxor Bunny even got someone to help optimize the Titan's design..."

Welt didn't know a person named Vill-V, but according to Bronie, she was a super genius, so this Titan might indeed have the potential to be manufactured.

This robot looked pretty cool, and it would be no problem to deal with the decayed beasts.

"Well, we still need to find a battery to repair the Titan. I wonder how the Titan's self-repair system works. Just inserting a battery seems too simple."

[Haxxor Bunny: Nanotechnology~]

"I see, nanobots for repairs? Just provide enough energy and materials, and it will automatically repair itself? That's really quite extraordinary."

Welt noticed Haxxor Bunny spending money to send a conspicuous message, expressing slight gratitude. However, all the other viewers were puzzled; they probably didn't expect Haxxor Bunny to be watching the livestream as well.

The next level wasn't too difficult. Guns on the ground could be used and swapped at any time, similar to Apex, where you can carry two main weapons. But there were also quite a few grenades you could carry.

With the help of the jump kit, the Titans' maneuverability was much stronger than the legends in Apex. Amidst the fearful voices of enemy riflemen, Welt maneuvered Jack Cooper through them, finally starting the Titan with a charged battery!

"Power at two-thirds, data core initializing, visual systems online, adjusting focal length... Are you okay, Pilot?"

"Well, I didn't expect Titans to have AI, and we even have dialogue options."

- "Probably, did you just call me Pilot?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Anderson granted you temporary authority to act as an Titan Pilot. Congratulations, you can call me BT. My system is currently rebooting, and three batteries will accelerate the process. I'll wait here and contact you through your helmet."

"Ah? Do we need another battery? Alright, there's nothing we can do about it."

Welt set off again. Along the way, the IMC was broadcasting surrender messages, a common psychological tactic on the battlefield. Welt initially ignored them, but then BT reacted.

"Pilot, I advise against surrendering to the IMC. Voice pattern analysis indicates they are lying."

BT's response left Welt feeling both amused and bemused.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you."

"Understood, but the IMC's retrieval team is about to arrive. I suggest you leave quickly."

"I mean, I really won't leave you behind."

"Pilot often need to act without being connected to their Titans."

This conversation furrowed Welt's brow.

"Isn't this AI a bit too indifferent? And these thrown weapons are quite different from Apex, like this Gravity Star, which directly sticks to the enemy like an aluminum thermite grenade."

Inside the destroyed battleship's interior corridors was chaotic, but everything went smoothly, and Welt obtained the final battery! The eagerly awaited moment to pilot the Titan had arrived!

[Protocol One, Link with the Pilot.]

[Protocol Two, Uphold the mission.]

[Protocol Three, Protect the Pilot.]

By now, many enemies were attempting to attack the Titan, but it seemed to have an energy shield specifically designed to block incoming bullets.

This technology was present in both Schicksal's Mechs and AE's Titans. Seeing his perspective elevate significantly, Welt became excited.

"Cool! This Vortex Shield is quite interesting! And this, Electromagnetic Smoke and Lock-on Missiles, this is our Titan, let's go!"

Welt's voice gradually became joyful. No one could resist piloting a huge robot, especially one that could perform emergency dashes, showing decent agility.

This was somewhat similar to AE's Titans, which could briefly burst into speed to deal with Honkai beasts. However, AE had also developed Blink Titans and various other models, making them adept at dealing with Honkai beasts.

Compared to the Titans in this game, AE's Titans seemed more powerful.

So after the initial excitement wore off, Welt calmed down.

But the feeling of controlling a Titan and dominating the battlefield was still thrilling, with music accompanying the action, continuously exciting Welt, allowing him to experience something AE's Titans couldn't offer.

Like Titan combat.

During battles, both friendly and enemy infantry would speak. Friendly infantry would be pleasantly surprised when they saw the protagonist, saying they were saved. Enemy infantry, on the other hand, would wail in fear upon seeing the protagonist, clearly intimidated.

These ubiquitous details elevated Titan Pilot's status on the battlefield, constantly praising the players. Who wouldn't feel ecstatic?

The comments wondered if Haxxor Bunny had turned over a new leaf.

Wasn't this game supposed to have a hundred treasure chest mimics and ten thousand Margit the Fell Omen? And then dozens of War Chariots and Abductor Virgin charging all at once?

That was Haxxor Bunny's style, right?

But most players were drawn to the giant robot battles.

Even enemy Titan pilots would actively request dialogue with the protagonist, spewing out some trash talk in a very arrogant manner.

"Hahaha! Am I doomed? No, it's you who's doomed!"

Welt was really getting into the game now. Some things Titans couldn't do required leaving the Titan to fight. But with Pilot fighting one moment and the Titan the next, the design was very reasonable and didn't feel monotonous.

There was also a continuous supply of new Titan equipment, allowing players to experience the feeling of playing with different Titans.

Of course, what players liked the most were the Titan's ultimate abilities. Every corner was cheering for the players, wave after wave of excitement, just like the protagonist in a classic personal heroism movie, constantly dominating the battlefield.

Through the process of accompanying BT, Welt gradually became familiar with him. BT was a serious Titan, meticulously completing all his tasks. However, during his time with Cooper, he also learned some humor, showing that behind his cold AI tone and mechanical shell, there was a fiery heart, just like a true comrade, a trustworthy partner.

Later, BT wanted to take a shortcut but accidentally got caught. Cooper had to slaughter his way through the huge construction factory, facing numerous obstacles before finally rescuing BT.

"Pilot, Colonel Anderson is here. Investigate this facility. I'll meet you on the other side."

As they neared the mission objective, Welt saw new dialogue options and chose the first one.

"Don't get caught again, BT."

"I won't take shortcuts anymore."

"Hahaha! Looks like BT has been traumatized by getting caught! Won't dare to take shortcuts anymore, right?"

Welt couldn't hold it in anymore. The last level was so difficult because BT suggested taking a shortcut, and who knew he'd be grabbed by a mechanical arm?

The map design of the last level was interesting, allowing you to see a huge assembly line from the factory and a training ground made up of freely assembled panels.

Some parts of Apex's training ground were probably made this way too.

As trust continued to increase, Welt felt the emotions between himself and BT gradually warming up, like in a road movie, supporting each other, helping each other, and overcoming difficulties.

Such companionship on the battlefield indeed increased a soldier's chances of survival.

Welt was considering whether to install advanced AI inside AE's Titans.

Actually, Welt's childhood companion was an AI. When he ran away from home as a child, he took her with him. But later, after realizing the mission he carried, he returned to AE honestly.

So Welt's initial fondness for AI was also very high.

The next stage of the game was an abandoned research facility, with Pterosaurs flying in the sky, occasionally pecking at the corpses on the ground.

Alien hyenas roared, looking for any edible prey.

But in the blink of an eye, everything changed. The research facility returned to normal, but then quickly returned to its dilapidated state.

At this point, BT explained that temporal distortions filled the facility, causing cracks in time, so Pilot would constantly shuttle between two timelines.

The theme was obvious, but it amazed Welt once again.

"Interesting, I feel like we might get equipment related to time travel later. It seems that in this world where Titans have fallen, technology has advanced to the point where they can even research time."

The temporal instability temporarily stabilized, and under BT's guidance, Welt found the mission objective in a facility - Colonel Anderson.

But he was dead.

His body was stuck in the ceiling, with his upper body hanging down. Without a doubt, his lower body was left on the other side.

"BT, we've found Anderson. He's... uh... in the ceiling."

"Mission accomplished. We have met with Colonel Anderson."

"That's a good joke."

"I did not intend to be humorous."

Welt handed his helmet to BT and took over Anderson's mission from his helmet.

And under BT's guidance, at the other end of the ceiling, Welt found the wristband device in Anderson's hands.

Every time he activated the wristband device, Welt found his character moving to another timeline.

This scene directly stunned Welt.

"So that's how it is, We are now Time Traveling Warriors, huh? Haxxor Bunny really understands the romance of shooting games!"

Chapter Eighty: Protocol Three

The pinnacle of Titanfall's ascent to glory has arrived!

In the fourth level, the protagonist finds themselves amidst the chaos of a research facility and obtains a crucial item from Anderson—embedded in the ceiling—a temporal traversal device.

With this device, players can seamlessly traverse between two timelines.

"Why is this temporal traversal so smooth when normally maps require loading time?" Welt stood still, continuously traversing back and forth without any lag.

At this moment, everyone else also realizes.

Indeed!

Even with the highest configuration computer, switching maps on both sides wouldn't achieve such smooth performance.

[Haxxor Bunny: Fool, why are you overthinking? Can't I create two identical maps on the upper and lower levels and teleport the player back and forth?]

"I see, that makes sense. If only data were moved out for reloading and rendering, it definitely wouldn't achieve such smooth performance. Utilizing this clever method to give us an interesting experience, Miss Haxxor Bunny really likes to be modest." Welt continued playing the game.

This level can be described as the most thrilling in all of Titanfall. Enemy grunts, attempting to find themselves, can only run around aimlessly, and in the fractured timelines, one can still spot the dots of those grunts.

Is this even a battle? It's simply unparalleled!

But Welt still pays attention to the plot. Anderson's logs play continuously, but Welt senses something is off.

"This temporal distortion... Anderson was originally sneaking into the research institute. It seems that when we arrived, an alarm was triggered, and what we're doing now is probably just completing the causal loop."

[What? Are you saying we killed Anderson?!]

[Anderson!]

The live broadcast room fills with a cheerful atmosphere as viewers watch Welt switch between different timelines and kill indiscriminately. Even the viewers are excited watching it.

Although Anderson's death feels a bit unfair, it doesn't stop everyone from enjoying it.

Especially in the final scene, the protagonist needs to traverse a very long ventilation duct. Whether in the intact or destroyed timeline, the ventilation duct is obstructed. And under the pull of gravity, the falling speed keeps increasing, forcing the protagonist to continuously switch timelines to avoid obstacles, otherwise, they would be crushed by the fan or burnt to ashes by flames.

Upon landing at the bottom, the cause of Anderson's death is finally found. He accidentally smashes the temporal traversal device in his hand while facing a rifleman, and then that thing teleports Anderson into the wall. And all of this is because the protagonist's arrival alerted the entire research facility's security, causing the rifleman and robots from the entire facility to search for intruders.

And then it's time for the Titan gameplay!

Yes, riding the Titan, battling in different timelines, another climax is approaching, and Welt gradually forgets about time.

The protagonist's goal is the Ark, a temporal folding weapon inside the IMC research institute. That thing could destroy an entire planet in one go, very dangerous.

And Anderson makes his final move, completely destroying this thing called the Ark!

As the Ark activates, heavily guarded around it, the protagonist drives the Titan into the army without hesitation.

But as they approach the Ark, it explodes!

A dazzling white light flashes, and when Welt opens his eyes, he's shocked by the scene before him.

The explosion freezes in front of him, and time around him stops.

The Titan behind him is still charging forward, rifleman grimly shooting from behind the walls, but the despair in their eyes seems to express hatred for war.

Through the barrage of gunfire and the shattered facilities, the protagonist reaches the Ark and scans it with the helmet.

"This is the most thrilling first-person shooting game I've ever played. No game has ever reached this level before. Time shifting, giant robots, special single-player equipment, and the story structure—Anderson's death was destined, and we are the ones driving it all."

After finishing this chapter, Welt is somewhat looking forward to what the next chapter will be like. Taking over Anderson's mission, the fate of the entire resistance is in the hands of the protagonist. All deadlocks need to be broken by the protagonist. Isn't this much more exciting than being a Tarnished mocked and ridiculed by everyone inside Elden Ring?

"Haxxor Bunny really understands players' psychology very well. To be honest, I really want to have a Titan by my side. After all, this Titan accompanies us, and even begins to care about us gradually."

Ahead is a toxic fog. The protagonist says they can think of a way to pass, but the Titan doesn't hesitate to grab the protagonist tightly inside the cockpit for protection. It even bluntly states that without the protagonist, it couldn't complete the mission.

With one boasting and the other praising, Welt is feeling a bit euphoric.

Next is to help the besieged resistance forces. Under BT's guidance, they obtain something called the Arc Tool and repair the power equipment of the entire facility.

As a Pilot, using the jump kit to reach places beyond others' reach, returning victorious, and then facing the rainbow farts of the rifleman, Welt feels a bit embarrassed.

"What's even funnier is that Jack Cooper was actually just a reserve Pilot. Before taking over BT, he was the same rifleman as them. Cooper doesn't dare to speak, probably to avoid revealing his identity, right?" Welt explains his current mindset to the audience with a smile.

Some people feel that their praise is justified, but looking back, one can feel Haxxor Bunny's subtle humor.

Clearly, Jack Cooper was also a rifleman like them before, but now he has become a powerful and praised Pilot.

[Pilot, it looks like we're relying on you again.]

When this sentence is said, Welt can't help but smile.

"I knew it, that signal tower must be the next area we're heading to."

The future facilities are bigger one by one, the flexibility of the rifleman is limited, and there must be many defense robots inside that huge signal tower.

And there's still a lot of poison outside.

This task can only be completed by the Titan.

Although reluctantly, the commanders inside are all very flattering, one after another.

Driving the Titan away from the base, they soon arrive at the designated location.

But the place is far away, and there's a bottomless abyss below. If they want to go there, the Titan might have to throw the Titan over.

[Titan, my analysis results show that throwing you is the only way. I can throw you over.]

[This is crazy.]

[Pilot, I won't go crazy.]

Bending down, BT lets the protagonist stand in the palm of his hand.

Using his left hand as a sight, watching the perspective constantly shifting, Welt is sweating along with it.

[Wind speed three sections, wind direction two seven four, distance ninety-five meters, throw mass eighty-nine kilograms—]

Calculations completed, BT clenches his left hand into a fist and looks at the Titan in his palm.

[Trust me.]

With a run-up, he forcefully throws the protagonist out, the facility in the distance goes from small to large, and in the blink of an eye, it's right in front of them.

"It's like getting a shot. The nurse said it wouldn't hurt, but before she finished her sentence, she threw me out. Luckily, the protagonist is really amazing." After landing, Welt looks back at the Titan behind him.

The Titan is waiting quietly in the distance, as small as a figurine.

With a smile, they pierce through the entire army again. Once the game starts, it's like there's a magic that makes it impossible to put down.

Carefully designed ups and downs in the plot immerse players in this world, fighting with good buddies and comrades-in-arms, the Titan, to slaughter the enemy on all sides!

And in multiplayer mode, Welt can already anticipate how chaotic it will be when everyone starts flying and fighting each other.

Thinking idly, Welt arrives at the maintenance point of the signal tower, but who knew the signal tower suddenly tilts, and the protagonist loses balance and falls from the signal tower!

[BT!]

Cooper shouts, he's the only comrade he could trust now!

And BT doesn't disappoint. With heavy steps, he steadily catches the Pilot.

[I got you!]

"His calm voice is so reassuring. If only he had a bit of humor." Welt is very satisfied with this plot, and Cooper also gives BT a thumbs up.

That's the highest praise for the protagonist.

And BT?

He moves a few mechanical fingers flexibly, imitating Cooper, and also raises his thumb.

That sense of humor comes naturally!

Although the plot of a road movie looks very similar, from encounter to acquaintance, then to mutual suspicion, experiencing dangers, supporting each other, and then to cooperation.

At this moment, BT seemed to come alive completely in Welt's heart, and Welt secretly decided that he must create such a Titan within Anti Entropy.

Soon, the rebel forces received reinforcements, and among them was the commander of the rebel forces.

The arriving commander also learned of BT's original Pilot's death.

However, she couldn't understand why the Titan's control was transferred to a rifleman, so, to ensure the situation was stable and to make rational use of every resource on the battlefield, the commander decided to have Cooper leave BT and let a more qualified and powerful Pilot take control of BT.

But upon hearing this command, BT didn't choose to obey. Instead, he grabbed Cooper and shoved him into his cockpit, then responded, "[Opposition, Cooper is my new Pilot, and our combat effectiveness rating now exceeds ninety percent.]"

Who wouldn't love a giant robot that can actively defend itself?

One phrase, "trust me."

One phrase, "opposition."

This BT probably shouldn't be an AI, but a pure digital life form.

"Emotions like this are very rare in AI. Perhaps one day, when our civilization develops to a certain extent, we will also welcome such new life forms," Welt was deeply moved, no longer treating BT as just a tool, but BT still managed to surprise him.

Although it's just a game, the portrayal of this giant robot is truly successful.

It has a similar resonance to the awakening of the mech spirit in Arahato.

Although Arahato doesn't speak.

Next, with the rebels officially entering the battlefield.

Countless Titans descended from the sky, and the chaotic battlefield saw life slipping away every moment.

The robots fearlessly charged forward, while the riflemen behind cover also stubbornly survived.

Of course, the most eye-catching on the battlefield was naturally the Titan. After being approved by the commander, Cooper was assigned to a Titan squad.

Fighting alongside teammates, no longer alone, but the battle became even more intense.

The enemy Titans weren't easy opponents either, eliminating several of our Titans in fierce combat.

Of course, their Titans were also constantly being destroyed.

Until the end, only the protagonist and the commander broke through the defense line and rushed to the warship with the Ark.

But they were too late in the end.

"The battlefield design is very good, giving a sense of interstellar warfare, but the plot seems to be entering its final stages. How can the plot of this game be so sparse?" Welt has been playing this game for a long time, but being immersed in it, it's easy to forget the time.

But compared to the games made by Bronny before, the plot of Titanfall's downfall is indeed much less.

The rebels sent transport aircraft to chase the warship. To invade the warship, BT once again threw the protagonist out.

One was a flying transport aircraft, the other was a relatively stationary warship.

This thrilling way of fighting, only the Titan can do it.

Watching the Titan stand in rows, then charge into the warship to seize it, hacking into the control panel with the hacker knife to take over the entire warship, these scenes came one after another.

Originally, Welt thought that finishing this level would end the game.

But how could he bear to stop and play again tomorrow?

It's almost the final level!

The Viper's Titan is very distinctive, capable of engaging in aerial combat. Even the protagonist ultimately achieved victory by attacking the pilot in the cockpit.

Every type of mech model has a great appeal to Welt.

After defeating Viper, a huge explosion occurred on the warship, and the entire warship was about to crash.

And the Ark was still inside the warship. After exerting tremendous effort, Cooper pushed the Ark into BT's cockpit. But right after that, the explosion followed, destroying the only passage.

Seeing the hope of escape fade, BT controlled the damaged body to create a safe area for Cooper.

Welt saw this scene and was visibly stunned.

【What are you doing!】

【Protocol Three】

BT's response was very simple, but everyone knew what Protocol Three meant.

【Get the Ark out!】

【No, we're trapped. I won't lose another Pilot.】

That sentence "won't lose another" instantly brought tears to countless viewers' eyes.

【Prepare for impact.】

BT's voice remained indifferent, without any fluctuation.

But that sentence "won't lose another" was so touching.

With the explosion and the blurry vision, the level ended.

Countless people wanted to know what happened to BT and how the protagonist would save BT.

And Welt also entered the next level without hesitation, but in the live broadcast room, he remained silent for a long time.

The protagonist woke up again, and the leader of the hired mercenary legion, Blisk, captured both the protagonist and BT.

BT refused to open the cockpit and hand over the Ark to the enemy. However, the Ark's energy was unstable, and forcibly removing it would certainly lead to very bad consequences.

Blisk, the founder and leader of the Apex Legend organization, could only threaten BT with the protagonist. At this moment, dialogue options appeared, all of them sarcastic remarks.

"I didn't expect Cooper to be so stubborn, but this negotiating tactic is too naive. Normally, both sides would present their demands and try to delay time to find an opportunity," Welt commented casually after selecting an option, and Blisk sighed helplessly.

Robots don't understand flexibility, but once a person becomes stubborn, they might really be powerless.

After all, a person who has killed all the top hunters under his command is definitely a tough nut to crack.

So Blisk pointed his gun at the protagonist's head, threatening that if BT didn't open the Ark, the Titan's head would be blown off.

BT said he couldn't see the Titan, infuriating Blisk, who dragged the protagonist in front of BT and aimed his gun at them.

As BT and the protagonist drew closer, a message came through the helmet.

The familiar words again.

【Trust me】

As Blisk's countdown reached its end, BT opened his cockpit and used the Ark to attract Blisk over.

Then, with a slap, he sent Blisk flying and used his shoulder to ignite the oil drums around him, eliminating the riflemen nearby.

The protagonist gained brief freedom, but at this moment, Blisk's subordinates, controlling Titans, arrived in front of the nearly defenseless BT and forcibly removed the Ark from the cockpit.

Even after taking out the Ark, they didn't stop there, using the Titan's weapons to deal another blow to BT!

Fire and electricity flashed, Cooper's vision gradually blurred, and anger surged in Welt's heart.

Welt's silence was deafening, and the barrage of comments continued to curse the villains inside, but some people also noticed that the logo of the hunter legion seemed to be the symbol of the apex Apex Legend rank.

The protagonist woke up again, and he struggled to reach BT, hoping to find a glimmer of hope from that scrap.

As expected, BT's voice rang out.

【Cooper... here... Cooper...】

【I can't complete the mission anymore... but you can. Take the SERE tool kit.】

【You need to survive... rely on... it...】

The last remaining limb tore off the part of the eye, and then lost all power.

Welt picked up the so-called tool kit and saw Cooper take out a small pistol and a hacker dagger.

Finally, he took out a core from the eye part and aimed it at himself from the side, with a number on it.

BT-7274

"A smart pistol, automatically locking onto nearby targets and ensuring a hit?"

After seeing the gun's description, Welt raised an eyebrow.

The background music turned solemn, and Cooper fell silent.

And the mission became even simpler.

【Survive, evade, counterattack, escape.】

The hacker dagger opened the hatch, and Cooper, holding the smart core and pistol, began to step forward.

Encountering riflemen on the way, the helmet locked onto all the riflemen's heads.

Left-click to shoot, all hits!

Cooper vented his anger, calmly repaying them for the pain they caused him.

The rebel forces locked onto Cooper's signal, constantly calling out to him, but Cooper remained silent, just moving forward.

At this moment, Welt's heart was also infected, with that anger, that silence, and the killing intent towards all enemies within that silence.

Running, wall-running, locking on, then shooting!

Leaving no survivors wherever he went!

Infinite bullets, automatic targeting, each shot was a release of the fury within.

Finally, he managed to break out of this base.

"[Cooper, there's still a Vanguard-class Titan in the cockpit. Now, only you can complete the mission for the rebel forces. You are our only hope.]"

"[Cooper, I will remove the data core, and you can install BT later.]"

"Ah? BT can still be alive? Oh, right, is the smart core in my hand BT's core?"

Welt suddenly realized this, but just as he was enjoying the moment, a surprise came, which also brought a smile to Welt's face.

It was like a little joke.

But it was enough to prove the close relationship between himself and BT.

The new Titan landed on the ground, and the smart core was placed inside.

[Hey, Jack.]

A familiar voice.

Watching the Titan slowly stand up, Welt was as happy as a child.

[Nice to see you alive again, BT.]

[BT-7274 activated and ready for combat.]

Then BT opened his cockpit.

[It's time to complete the mission.]

"Familiar everything, a new cockpit, and brand new weapons! Once again, into the lone battle mode, but luckily the rebel forces had firepower cover."

Welt familiarized himself with the equipment, a huge Gatling gun with a very large shield on top!

This sense of security, super heavy firepower, and the ability to switch between precision and close-range scatter modes at any time.

Firepower, durability, all maxed out.

And the ultimate move is outrageous, directly performing an auto-targeting, can Gatling do that?

None of these matters, just enjoy it to the fullest!

The ups and downs of the plot, precise player psychological control, and overwhelming highlights pushed the game to new heights!

Next, only Cooper could represent the rebel forces to stop the enemy and prevent the destruction of the hometown planet by the Ark.

Arriving at the final destination, the two people had just finished loading the Ark, and the orbital cannon would target the rebel forces' planet, using the Ark to destroy everything.

Just by looking up at the planet in the sky, you could see it.

One planet in the sky had already been destroyed by the Ark experiment, and the other beautiful planet was the last stronghold of the rebel forces.

"Come on! The time for the final battle has come! In the final battle, I will use my BT to tear you all to pieces!"

This game's immersive experience, in the romance of mechs, Welt controlled BT to fiercely beat down the enemies in front of him.

But the battle seemed to be dragging on a bit, and the enemy boss was very cunning, knowing how to hide behind cover, call for support, and even conceal their own whereabouts.

In the tense and thrilling atmosphere, a message came through the helmet signaling the weapons entering the second phase.

Indicating that his time was running out!

Regardless, Welt abandoned defense and focused solely on exchanging blows with the enemy!

Seeing the enemy Titan emitting red light, Welt vented all his anger from the enemy's previous attacks on BT into his execution move!

BT shattered the cockpit of the enemy Titan, grabbed the pilot, and then crushed him alive!

[Cooper! Get the Ark out fast!]

Without any hesitation, Welt approached the weapon, clicked on QTE, and slowly pulled the Ark out from the weapon.

But the huge energy instantly sent the Titan flying, and Cooper's vision became blurry.

[Cooper, the impact of the gas jet overloaded my primary internal systems...]

[I am trying to restore the primary visual system...]

[My analysis shows that throwing is the only way... warning, enemy Titan detected!]

Despair enveloped him.

Blisk drove his Titan to BT's front.

Welt thought everything was over.

But fundamentally, Blisk was just a mercenary who got paid, and the IMC had settled the commission. Blisk had no reason to continue fighting.

He opened the cockpit and landed on BT.

[You're lucky today, 'big hero.' I won't kill you because I don't work for free, but don't think you can defeat me either next time.]

With that, Blisk took out a card from his pocket and slapped it on BT's face, then on Cooper's face.

The card bore the symbol of the Apex Legends.

"I see, so the activities inside Apex, are organized by this guy in front of me? But what about the Ark?"

Welt looked at the menu and couldn't help but laugh, but then he was still very worried about the Ark. Watching Blisk leave, BT's reboot was completed.

[Cooper, help me out, my automatic navigation system is down, help me enter that ejection assembly room, we need to cooperate.]

The ejection assembly room is where the Ark was originally loaded in, and pressing QTE there would launch the Ark into a larger launch pad, using space-time jumps to send the entire Ark core to its destination, in order to achieve the goal of destroying the planet.

[Main protocols...

1, Link with Pilot.

"2, Uphold the mission.

*Commander Briggs, I have a way, if my reactor core is exposed, it may be able to disrupt the stability of the Ark when the space-time folding weapon is activated. I can destroy it, I am sending the coordinates for rendezvous to the transport ship.]

BT seemed to have calculated everything, and Welt also controlled BT into the launch room.

[Trust me, I've calculated everything.]

Watching BT enter the launch room, several dialogue options appeared before Welt.

"Don't worry, BT, I'm right here, not going anywhere."

An attitude of facing life and death together with BT.

The third main protocol was taking a long time to load, indicating that BT's damage was very severe.

[Received, Pilot.]

Accompanied by the solemn music, the cannon charged up.

At the moment BT was launched, Protocol Three loaded!

[Protocol Three, protect the Pilot!]

The cockpit suddenly opened, and BT grabbed Cooper from the cockpit.

[What are you doing!]

Cooper roared, but couldn't resist BT's actions.

BT grabbed Cooper and uttered those familiar three words.

[Trust me.]

[BT!!!]

Cooper was thrown out!

But BT also merged with the Ark and exploded violently.

The familiar world of paused time arrived.

Cooper fell onto a passing rock, watching BT leave behind the final marker, and Welt finally realized.

"I was deceived by BT! He learned to lie!"

Using lies to conceal his purpose, always adhering to Protocol Three.

At this moment, BT in Welt's mind was so noble.

Filled with sadness, Welt controlled Cooper to glide through the shattered ruins, reaching the designated location by BT.

And at this moment, the rebel forces' transport ship arrived and caught Cooper.

Everything was calculated by BT!

BT gave up hope of survival for himself, used the erroneous Protocol Three code to conceal his needs, contacted the rebel leader to leave behind the last hope of escape, and then threw Cooper out.

Watching the final credits roll after the game ended, displaying the names of the producers, Welt knew that this game had come to an end. But his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

[She'll never change her ways. My BT-7274 is gone! Completely gone! There's not a shred of hope for revival!]

Before, the barrage of comments praised Haichu for starting to make exciting games, but as joyous as the opening of the plot was, the subsequent events were equally painful.

BT-7274 left an indelible image in everyone's minds.

When people talk about giant robots, they no longer just discuss the Arahato's fighting for humanity.

They also reminisce about the reliable companion, BT.

The rolling credits, like a priest reciting eulogies at a graveside, captured the mood perfectly.

The Soldiers of the rebel forces celebrating with each other made everyone deeply appreciate the hard-won victory of war.

"Ahem, I got a little carried away just now, but everyone knows I'm also a huge fan of giant robots. I just didn't expect Haxxor to portray a cold steel robot so tenderly in her own way."

If giant robots were equipped with AI, they should be like BT.

Reliable companions, selfless attitudes, incredibly powerful computing power, and excellent control of the battlefield situation.

They could ensure the survival rate of the Titans while making battles more efficient.

This may be the path that AE Titans need to take in the future.

[BT, farewell!]

[Evil Bunny, you're something else!]

[Already bought the game, automatic targeting looks so satisfying!]

[Want to experience multiplayer?]

[Do you think Jack Cooper will appear in Apex?]

The comments section buzzed with discussion, and Welt gradually regained his composure from the game.

At that moment, Tesla called.

After hesitating for a moment, Welt closed the live stream and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Welt! Send me Evil Bunny's contact information! My BT, it's been taken away by her like this! I need to have a word with her!"
