Chapter 241: New Work PromotionThe popularity of Steel Ball Run lasted for more than a month. Even after the manga was finished and no longer trending, it was still widely discussed.For example, the concept of Stands, a special ability with limitations yet derived from one’s own soul, was truly fascinating! Even cooler was the way the characters were used in the manga!The 24 volumes were not long, but if you think back carefully, you'll find that every detail of the entire manga is still fresh in your memory.One moment, you’re in the field of men, another moment in the spring of Sugarcane Mountain, next in the Civil War, then on the train of love, and most notably, the final negotiation.As the villain, Funny Valentine’s words—"My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is justice"—almost fooled even the audience.Although Funny Valentine’s patriotism was genuine, it was the only thing he truly had.To achieve his goals, he would sacrifice the weak without hesitation.In his mind, he was the only important person in the country, and everyone else was expendable.This man, who had no moral boundaries yet appeared righteous, perfectly embodied the character of Funny Valentine. His clear eyes and sincere tone all spoke for his country. In the final negotiations, even the audience was almost swayed into believing him.It was as though if you let him go, he might actually stop.When Welt saw this villain, he couldn’t help but think that Bronie had created a truly captivating character. If he were to meet such an enemy, he’d probably feel a bit confused too.However, Welt also believed that a person like Funny Valentine who saw human lives as numbers could never be forgiven.He was a skilled politician, and skilled politicians speaking nonsense is certainly a standard course in life!In the end, Johnny threw out a pistol and forced Funny Valentine into his final dead end. Valentine gave an impassioned speech, even pulling out a handkerchief left by his father to swear upon, declaring his patriotism. But Johnny revealed a pistol from Funny Valentine’s parallel world.The same objects in the parallel world exposed the pistol hidden by Funny Valentine. It was this very pistol that uncovered the hypocritical mask of Funny Valentine.Yes, his patriotism was unquestionable, but his dark willingness to sacrifice everything for the country could also trample on the oath he had made.In the end, the napkin that symbolized his patriotism was stained with blood and soil, ultimately buried in the earth under endless cycles.Gyro died, and Johnny realized that Gyro would never return. The grown-up Johnny once again shed tears of grief.The unexpected death of Gyro Zeppeli, one of the protagonists, left a profound impact on the audience.Some even said that no one disliked Gyro Zeppeli—if they did, it meant they hadn’t watched the movie The Lord of the Rings. This also showed how popular Gyro, who had seemed like a villain when he first appeared, had become.He was the one who traveled across the ocean to face countless killers for a child, the one who liked telling cold jokes and adored teddy bears.When Johnny carried Gyro's remains and his iron ball across the ocean, the story came to a close.The manga no longer evoked a sense of loss, but rather satisfaction. It was as if the hearts of the audience had grown alongside Johnny and Gyro’s journey. Every time you watch it, you experience something different, and every careful consideration gives you a new understanding.In this work, there are no absolute heroes or absolute villains. The complexity of human nature is Vill-Vdly depicted.The person who enjoyed this the most, of course, was Ellie, who loved humans!Whether on the good or bad side, Ellie cherished these humans—a collection full of contradictions and an eternal spirit of struggle. Bronie had portrayed all of this and had shown Ellie a different kind of magnificent epic.Then, Ellie rewarded Bronie fiercely."The ending of the manga is just right. The fate of everyone ends here. Maybe the ending isn’t entirely beautiful, but everything they did was meaningful. The story of Gyro and Johnny has concluded. Do you like this story?"Beside Ellie, Bronie followed Ellie to finish reading the manga.Now, Ellie was live-streaming. In the live-stream chat, countless comments were calling for Bronie to bring back Gyro. It was clear that everyone loved Gyro.Occasionally, there were some who liked Dio. After all, in this story, Dio’s ambition was truly terrifying. He worked tirelessly to become a superior being. His firm belief and will were admirable. And he was just one step away from reaching the remains and gaining their ultimate power."I like it! I don’t just like this story, I like Bronie more! She shows everyone the lovely side of humanity. I’m so lucky to have met Bronie!""It’s good that you like it. If everyone could experience the golden spirit and the dark determination, it would be amazing. Taking a detour is often the shortest path. The process means more than the result. Please enjoy your life more."To some extent, Bronie’s presence in Ellie’s live-stream could be seen as a live-stream collaboration, right?Usually, Bronie didn’t enjoy live-streaming, but considering the traffic it could generate for Ellie, it was an easy way to make more pocket money for her. She could buy more cosmetics she liked and change into more beautiful new clothes."Then this beautiful girl will ask, Miss Haxxor Bunny, what are your plans for your next work? I heard you were working on a new game, and it seems the theme is based on a western cowboy setting."[A new work!][I knew it! Haxxor’s main focus is definitely on the game, and the mangas are just a promotion!][The mangas are amazing; I can’t imagine how fun the game will be!][Hurry up and bring it out!]The live-stream chat erupted in excitement. Everyone seemed to tacitly agree that Ellie’s live-stream was the most likely place to see Haxxor's figure.So, the next work was likely to be revealed first in this stream.More viewers were choosing to watch Ellie’s live-stream slices, hoping to uncover what Haxxor’s next big plan would be.Bronie originally said that she wanted to make a galgame, but it seemed that she quickly rejected the idea. Although Ellie shared the news, she also announced the suspension of the production plan immediately.It can be seen that Haxxor also faces some challenges when making games, and is not entirely free from creative bottlenecks.After a few months of silence, Bronie delivered a more perfect answer that everyone could appreciate: Steel Ball Run.Although it's just a manga, the story within can be considered a work of art."Indeed, a lot of content was created, but this manga has nothing to do with the game. While there are a few small Easter eggs hidden in it, they won’t alter the background of the story."The Easter eggs are naturally just for entertainment purposes and have almost no impact on the story. Bronie has always liked hiding various Easter eggs in her work, many of which remain undiscovered, including some confessions to Ellie.Now that they're together, Bronie feels too embarrassed to bring them up. Maybe someday in the future, she’ll surprise Ellie with them."In other words, there is absolutely no connection between the two!"Ellie heard Bronie explain this for the first time. Because of the game, she had deep expectations for Bronie's next work. But it seems that Bronie doesn’t have much confidence?"That's right, there is no relationship. In fact, Steel Ball Run is the pinnacle of my work. I probably won’t be able to surpass it. However, this doesn’t mean that the new work is bad; it’s just that the two works are on different tracks, so there’s not much to compare. I just feel that it’s not suitable for me to make mangas in the future."Yes, after reviewing this manga again, Bronie felt that she probably wouldn’t make other mangas in the future. Whether it’s the expressiveness of the art, the fashion of the costumes, or the excitement of the plot, it would be hard for another manga to surpass Steel Ball Run.Even when Bronie reads other mangas in the future, she often feels bored.So for now, she’ll put mangas aside.[Ah... You’re not going to make any more?][Haxxor, how can we live without your mangas!][The Stand concept is so cool! Why did you suddenly stop writing?][Shut up! Take all my money! Please make a sequel!]"It seems that Bronie is so satisfied with Steel Ball Run that she feels she can’t make anything better?""After all, it’s really exhausting~"Is it because of this reason?But it’s true that Bronie didn’t release all the content at once this time, which means she encountered many difficulties in the creation process. Whether it’s the backstory of each character, the memories woven into the plot, or the design of each storyline, the audience can feel Bronie’s intentions.Many artists would simplify some details, which could lead to certain scenes collapsing. But Bronie’s work maintains such high picture quality that it can reach up to 8k!The "collapsing" you might see is due to screen issues, not the quality of the artwork. If you zoom in, you can even see every pore on the characters clearly."So, can you tell the audience what kind of game the new work will be? Look at how enthusiastic everyone is. There are many new viewers in the live stream!"Haxxor appeared in Ellie’s live broadcast room, and the news quickly spread across the internet. Many players interested in Haxxor rushed in and began giving gifts. Ellie was almost overwhelmed with gratitude, so she chose not to thank them again but silently recorded their IDs and sent private messages to thank them."New work? Didn’t I say it? It’s naturally based on the last days of the western cowboys, also in the late 19th century, around the same time as Horse Racing Wild Man. This time, our protagonist is a member of the notorious Van der Linde gang. Arthur Morgan will struggle to survive in the last days of the cowboy era and must choose between his ideals and his family."Upon hearing this, Ellie frowned, realizing things were a bit complicated. She then asked, "Isn’t this like a cyberpunk-themed game?"When cyberpunk was mentioned, the audience naturally erupted.After all, Bronie created Cyberpunk 2077 in the style of GTA, with many elements taken from GTA6. The online mode is still played by countless people every day, and there are always people at Haxxor Studio who want to add more content to it. Every year, during festivals, some interesting activities are held.In this future sci-fi world, it’s really cool to do whatever you want.Is Bronie planning to make a similar theme again? Will it be very interesting? Will it allow for lots of freedom?Cyberpunk 2077 covers almost all types of gameplay. You can even play Gwent and Fall Guys in it! This has caused many similar games to lose competitiveness, especially considering that Cyberpunk 2077 allows mods, and the mod community has grown to a terrifying size.It’s even bigger than The Elder Scrolls in Bronie’s memory."Open world, free exploration, story mode, and the entire western wilderness with a relatively balanced sense of reality and gameplay. In that world, you’ll experience the customs of the era, the freedom they fought for, and gain a deeper understanding of what happened in that time."Native Americans, the pioneers of the West, and the last days of the gangs—if you can’t adapt to the environment, you’ll inevitably be swept away by the era.The torrent of that era, the tide of fate, suddenly sweeps through, allowing players to truly feel how civilization progresses and how the times develop, all while the protagonist, controlled by the player, struggles in this rush."Wow, that sounds interesting!""Yeah! Of course, everyone should look forward to it. In two weeks, the game will be almost done. Please make sure you have over 200GB of memory space, and I’ll try my best to optimize it!"[Chapter 242: Kiana's Plan]Originally, Red Dead Redemption required 150GB of storage space. Bronie has already done her best to compress and optimize the entire game.After all, the horse racing system, hunting system, and gambling system each involve many details that Bronie needs to incorporate. Although Cyberpunk 2077 also includes similar content, Bronie’s creation system fundamentally cannot rely on copying and pasting code.You must know that the principle of the creation system is to directly transfer ideas from the mind and then create a game world. Bronie cannot guarantee that the ideas will always be the same, although most people tend to compare things based on what they are familiar with and then look for similarities and differences.However, Bronie believes that this kind of analogical thinking often leads to many fallacies.As a result, although the Red Dead Redemption in Bronie’s hands requires about 50GB of storage space, the amount of content is so large that Bronie isn’t sure whether it’s still the original Red Dead Redemption she knew.It's like the hunting system in Far Cry, with countless wild ecosystems. The base also has farming attributes, and in the big city, players can experience stage plays or gambling content typical of that era.Although it's somewhat similar to Cyberpunk 2077, it is indeed differentiated. The game is almost ready, but it will still be some time before it is released.Before the release, Bronie received a communication from the Elysian Realm."Hello, sister! Did you miss me? I finally met Big sis! Although... it's a little different from what I originally expected... but I heard that! Sister Bronie is super-super-handsome for reVill-Vng Sister Elysia!""It took you so long to contact me; it seems you're having a lot of fun there..."Bronie couldn't help but be infected, but Rin was stunned."Uh... maybe not so happy? Aunt Mobius is always pestering me. If I weren't her sister, I would have turned into a fox paste~QAQ"Higokumaru’s cute look was really effective. To be honest, Bronie wanted to bring Higokumaru back immediately, into her arms, and let her ravage her with her hands fluffing those fox ears."Mobius... is she going to restart the previous experiment? For example, directly transforming into an individual similar to the Herrscher of Corruption and then leaving the Elysian Realm? What does your Sister say?""She asked Vill-V. She said Mobius hasn't completely given up because she has new materials and a deeper understanding of the research on the Herrscher of Corruption. In addition to the ether you gave her before, Mobius has a new direction in the study of life."Is it really like this?"Tell Mobius a bit. The Third Eruption just happened, and the Herrscher of Sentience arrived. There's not much time left before the Finality. I think it will be no more than five years at most?"Hearing Bronie’s judgment, Sakura nearby recalled how long it took for the End to come after the Third Eruption.Five years? Bronie was actually quite conservative."I understand. The coming of the Herrscher of Sentience is all within your expectations, but the faster the Herrscher comes, the shorter the time left until the end. In this case, Dr. Mobius won't have much time!"When Mobius realizes there's not enough time, she’ll naturally choose not to waste it on Rin. And Rin will be safe!Besides, although there is a self-destruct device in the Elysian Realm, Rin is the Herrscher!And Ellie, as the person controlling the button, has left the Elysian Realm. At present, it can be said that the Elysian Realm has no self-destruct measures.Actually, what everyone in the Elysian Realm doesn’t know is that Ellie left a memory of herself there, but she was kept as a concubine by Miss Eden.In the past, Eden didn’t have much private space. She would drink a little in the lounge area of the Elysian Realm and occasionally stretch her singing voice.Later, after Elysia left, Ellie left a private room for Eden, usually used to relieve Eden’s loneliness. If Eden missed Ellie, she could always find the main body through the memory. If there was any need, Elysia would definitely come to Eden from afar.Of course, Eden knew that Ellie had gained complete freedom, so it wasn’t good to disturb her rashly. Usually, Eden just surfed the internet to see what breakthroughs current civilization had made in art, and also checked Bronie’s new works. She didn’t do anything to the memory replica Ellie."That's about it. Although I think our civilization is not ready yet, I’ve provided a lot of help to Otto. Otto’s plan is also being implemented steadily, and Anti-Entropy has started the Sea of Quanta exploration experiment. If you could help me get an ether singularity, it would be great."The Ether Anchor point compiled by her own ability can unleash the energy of nearly an entire world. If this energy is used well, it could really help deal with Finality!After all, the power of the Cocoon of Finality is limited. A civilization that was once eroded by the Honkai used the Sea of Quanta to deal with it, and even succeeded!So Bronie thinks that if there is an Ether Singularity, it would be fantastic. Bronie even believes that this wave of fighting Finality is stable!It’s a pity that Ether Singularities are like a pearl in the sea. It is still very difficult to find."I only know how to fight. I can't help with the plan to fight against the Honkai. I'm really sorry. And you helped me pull Ling back from that hell. I really don’t know how to repay you...""I didn't do this for your reward. And you entered the Elysian Realm after you regained your memories, right?""How did you know!?"That's right, everyone in the Elysian Realm hid one thing from Sakura.That is, Rin is the Herrscher of Corruption and is also the culprit who destroyed the last three cities of mankind. Sakura even died because of it.Normally, Sakura couldn't know what happened during that period of time.But Bronie knew that Sakura knew these things, though she didn't know how she knew them.Maybe Sakura found part of the truth at that time in some places where the cognition inside the Elysian Realm intersected?"From your reaction to Rin, I can detect a lot of things. You don't seem to be good at lying.""I actually... can't lie?"Sakura was very shocked by Bronie's evaluation of her."That is to say, the others...""No, only I know. The others are still hiding it."Hearing Bronie say this, Sakura was relieved."Maybe you are too familiar with each other, so they didn't notice you abnormality, but it still didn't hide it from my eyes.""Many people will confess this to you later, and it might be a little embarrassing at that time, right?"Everyone in the Elysian Realm had different thoughts after seeing Rin coming back. After hearing what Bronie said, Sakura's expression was a little subtle."No wonder the atmosphere in the Elysian Realm is a little wrong recently. Even Pardo seems to be hiding something..."Bronie felt that the others in the Elysian Realm were probably preparing to do something to compensate for hiding something from Sakura, so she felt that it was not appropriate to continue chatting now."Then I will leave for now. If Rin wants to come over, just contact Ash Serpent at any time.""Wait!"Just when Bronie was about to close the communication, Yae Sakura called out to her."What?""The manga 'Steel Ball Run' is very interesting. Everyone in the Elysian Realm likes it very much. Eden also thinks that period of history is very interesting, but there are no interesting songs."The fundamental reason for not having songs is that Bronie didn't plan to make them from the beginning.For mangas, dubbing is already the limit!But Bronie didn't plan to complain.So he just smiled and responded, "As long as everyone likes it, as long as everyone can smile, it will be the greatest encouragement for me!""Yeah."The originally cold face of Sakura showed a gentle smile.Bronie was a little stunned for a while.The MANTIS Sakura hardly smiled in the Elysian Realm.Ellie complained before that it seemed that the things she experienced in the past were too heavy, so Sakura was always unwilling to smile in the Elysian Realm.And now, laughing doesn't seem to be so difficult for Sakura.It's good.For this smile, it was worth it to do so much to get Rin back!Bronie gave a thumbs up and then closed the communication.The influence of the manga "Steel Ball Run" is still expanding.Even if it is no longer on the hot search, there are still forums on the Internet, and the discussion has always been high.Some people use the ability of Stands to analyze the personalities of some people, and some people use the ability of the stand to try to develop new uses.However, this kind of brain-intensive work is still quite difficult for Theresa."The hymn of mankind is a hymn of courage... It is very similar to the concept of fighting for all the good in St. Freya Academy... Haxxor Bunny, Bronie, Bronya..."In the dean's office of St. Freya Academy, Theresa was holding a tablet in her hand and had just finished reading the entire manga.There is no way, there is still a lot of work at ordinary times. The future of the children of St. Freya Academy is in her own hands. Recently, St. Freya Academy will also organize a practical test in the memory battlefield!At this time, there was a knock on the door of the dean's office."Dean Theresa, I've brought someone here!"When Theresa heard the familiar voice, she immediately closed the manga app on the tablet with lightning speed. "Okay, come in!"Be as dignified as possible, you must be dignified!Theresa frowned and straightened her back.The girl with flaming red hair opened the door, followed by three younger girls.Theresa's eyes instantly locked on Mei, but it was a pity that Mei didn't notice Theresa's height, but instead looked curiously at why there was no one in front of the desk...No, there was a little white-haired head below!"Welcome to join Schicksal's St. Freya Academy. Although many things have happened in Nagazora, it seems that the Overseer of Schicksal has solved them in a very wonderful way. However, as several core figures of the Third Eruption, you will study and train here next, and finally become a member of the Valkyrie who fights against the Honkai in Schicksal."Then Theresa waited for the reactions of the three people."So... you are the dean? Are you an adult?""Kiana! You dare to say such offensive words to me right away! Are you an adult? When I was fighting the Second Herrscher in Siberia, you were still nursing alone at the Schicksal headquarters! How dare you ask me if I am an adult!?""Wait! No, you know me!?"Looking at Kiana's surprised expression, Theresa put her hands on her hips and looked very arrogant."Yes, you were too young when Siegfried took you away. Strictly speaking, I am the sister of your mother Cecilia Schariac. You should at least call me aunt. My name is Theresa, Theresa Apocalypse. Do you understand what this surname means in Schicksal?"Looking at Kiana racking her brains to think, Theresa was also fortunate.Sure enough, the people in the Kaslana clan didn't have good brains!Originally, the admission letter was sent with the mentality of giving it a try. If the other party refused, she would just tie it up. This was Theresa's original plan.But who knew that the three of them came over without hesitation."Then do you know where my stinky dad is!""Ah? Siegfried took you away and raised you, but he didn't care about you anymore!?""Raised me? It's good enough that my stinky dad didn't replace milk with wine! If it wasn't for Sister Bronie taking me in, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to pick up garbage in that trash can to eat! Several years ago, the stinky dad ran away without saying a word, and I haven't found him yet! He didn't say anything about the reason, and there's no news at all..."Kiana became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and it looked like she was about to lose her little pearl. Himeko looked at her and held her forehead helplessly.Damn, what kind of father is this!And Theresa was even more panicked, and for a moment, she really didn't know what she should do."Woo woo woo! Do you know how I've been living these years? After living with Bronie sister for a while, I searched all over the world for my stinky dad, but there was no clue about my stinky dad except that he occasionally appeared on the battlefield where Honkai was active! He even preferred to be a dark knight in Nagazora rather than see me!""Hiss—this Siegfried is too much!"Theresa never expected that Siegfried would not only play so much, but also throw his daughter out and not care about her at all?Theresa immediately felt sorry for her niece."So, can you tell me where my dad is? With the resources of Schicksal, you, aunt, must be able to find a way!"Theresa's eyes immediately showed pity. "Poor child, live in St. Freya Academy for a while first. I promise you that I will help you find that bastard!"The plan worked!Kiana turned her head away to prevent Theresa from seeing her smile, but Bronya happened to see Kiana's smirk and was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.Kiana couldn't be that smart![Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Background Check of Students at St. Freya College]Since Theresa didn't know about her father or her experiences, Kiana chose to exaggerate and tell all the sufferings and hardships she had endured during this period.Coupled with her aggrieved look and cute appearance, Theresa was immediately confused!Kiana really didn’t expect that she actually had relatives in St. Freya College.Wouldn't she be considered a second-generation official?"Before I find Siegfried, I want you to stay in school and focus on your studies. There’s a practical test coming up. I’ll let you take it in a few days, and then you’ll submit the test paper to make up for it, so I can see your ability!" Theresa thought about it but couldn’t figure out why Kiana came to this school.It seems that all of this is part of the other party's plan?Forget it, let’s focus on the child’s grades.Although I don't know exactly what happened in Nagazora, one thing is certain: the Herrscher was indeed born and even caused the Eruption!But it was also stopped.Of course, it's not that preventing the Eruption from causing harm is a bad thing, but Theresa really can’t think of what kind of magical means could be used to prevent the harm caused by the Eruption due to a Herrscher.Theresa has lived for so long and has never seen such technology.If it had been developed long ago, wouldn't the future Honkai have been easily solved?So Theresa urgently needs to learn the full picture of the matter from the three people.Being stared at by Theresa, Mei felt uncomfortable all over."Raiden Mei, right? Why do you want to join St. Freya Academy? You know, Senba Academy is still there. Although we issued the invitation first, you have no reason to leave Nagazora."The eldest lady of the ME Society, with the old enemy of Schicksal, the Anti-Entropy Organization, behind her, is very suspicious. Theresa needs to be very alert when facing the girl in front of her."That..."Mei was a little entangled, so she looked at Kiana and Bronya.Bronya gave a positive look, and Kiana hesitated slightly but finally nodded.She could feel that Theresa really cared about her eyes and attitude.The same white hair, the same blue eyes—Kiana was the first one who didn’t believe there was no blood relation.So, just give trust!"In fact, I am the Third Herrscher who caused the Honkai of Nagazora... I hope that I can be monitored at any time through St. Freya Academy and Schicksal to prevent similar tragedies from happening again..."Although the Schicksal headquarters did send a message confirming that Mei is indeed the third Herrscher and has the power to control lightning, Theresa did not expect Mei to confess so frankly!She thought there would be a wave of intrigue, a test of each other, and then she would be furious and suppress the Herrscher!"In fact, it can be seen from history that the First Herrscher stood on the side of humans. Although the Second Herrscher hated humans, he still had the same self-awareness. Therefore, Bronya judged that the rational Herrscher should not be arbitrarily attacked. Although the power was too dangerous, if it were used to fight against the Honkai, it would definitely reduce the damage to the Valkyrie on the battlefield!""Bronya..."Seeing Bronya stand up and speak for her, Mei felt she wasn’t brave enough to move. She had only known each other for a short time, but she put such trust in her hands."Bronya... right? And Kiana said before that your sister is Bronie?""Eh? What's wrong?""It seems... is the rumor true? The real name of the internet celebrity, the legendary electronic artist Haxxor Bunny, is Bronie, and you are her... sister?"Bronya immediately straightened her chest and looked very proud."That's right!""Come on, help me get an autograph from your sister..."Then a hand-knife fell on Theresa’s head."Principal Theresa, now is the time to talk about business. Please don't do something irrelevant.""Okay, then Raiden Mei, do you know what it means for you to say this?"The majesty of the adults is revealed here. After all, Theresa has lived for so long, and you can feel the presence of an elder from her temperament.After hearing Theresa’s question, Mei took a deep breath and said, "I know! But I am willing to believe, believe in Kiana, who is willing to believe in the academy president. Whether it’s surveillance or training, I hope that one day my ability will be useful in the battlefield against Honkai."What a good child.She’s brave enough to face these things.Perhaps there were not many casualties in Nagazora, so Mei does not hate that power. It is precisely because the disaster was prevented in advance that Mei is more willing to believe thatBronie can also prevent it in advance, and she can understand that power more at ease."It seems that I have to give you another assignment: write a report on everything you have experienced in Nagazora—what you have encountered, seen, and faced. I don’t know why other residents of Nagazora are saying that Nagazora just experienced a very long typhoon. You must have seen a different picture, right?""Bronya will write the report."Although she didn’t know why Theresa didn’t know about the cooperative relationship between Sister Bronie and Otto, Bronya didn’t intend to pursue it.Maybe the person named Apocalypse is not really related to Otto?After all, Otto is also an old man who has lived for 500 years. If someone casually claims to be his relative, he will definitely be unhappy."Then Major Muruta Himeko will take you to the dormitory. And Bronya, don’t forget, I want an autograph...""Sister Bronie has never signed anything like this before... But if Bronya wants it, it should be no problem.""By the way! Bronya!"Theresa suddenly called Bronya again."Excuse me, is there anything else?""Is your Sister Bronie... a member of Schicksal?"She noticed that Bronie knew about the Honkai."Sister Bronie has technical cooperation with Archbishop Otto Apocalypse of Schicksal and has a very deep cooperation in the field of scientific research.""Scientific research!?"I didn’t know about this!Theresa suddenly felt as if she had been excluded by the people at the Schicksal headquarters....No, it should be said that she had actively excluded the Schicksal headquarters, and as a result, lost access to the information, which was, in a way, very normal.If Bronya hadn't mentioned it, she might never have known about it!"So, you entered St. Freya Academy...""It was for two careless idiots. Emotional ties are the key to awakening the humanity of the Herrscher. They also need to be supplemented with drug treatment. Sister Bronie is always worried about them, so she asked Bronya to take care of them.""Then, if someone is deeply infected with Honkai energy and is at risk of becoming a dead soldier at any time..." Himeko suddenly interrupted the conversation, seemingly noticing that Bronie was ahead of Schicksal in scientific research. She wanted to ask."If they have already turned into dead soldiers, it’s irreversible. However, if they are deeply infected, they can be treated, but at a cost. Compared to post-infection treatment, Sister Bronie advocates isolating the Honkai energy before infection.""If it can be isolated, why does Schicksal sacrifice so many people? So the price is...""One thousand corpses infected with Honkai energy, or more patients deeply infected with it. Schicksal has such technology but has never made it public. However, Otto and Sister Bronie are working on making medicines with lower costs."It can’t be announced?Himeko quickly figured it out.If a thousand people must be sacrificed for one person’s survival, the price is indeed outrageously high."I see. The technology isn’t mature enough... Sure enough, the power of the stigmata is still needed to suppress the infection of Honkai...""Although it’s almost like that, don’t lose hope. Bronya’s sister Bronie once said that once you give up, you lose everything. As long as you persist, there’s hope.""I was comforted by a little kid. I’m really more curious about what kind of person Bronie is. She’s so good at making games and is also a world leader in scientific research. But I didn’t even know someone like that existed!"Bronie came to this world from the Sea of Quanta in 2008. She must know nothing about it."You’ll naturally come into contact with her in the future. Sister Bronie is very powerful. Maybe Honkai can really be ended in her hands." Bronya proudly gave her evaluation of Bronie, almost showing off."Such a powerful person... No wonder she can create these works..."It must be said that Theresa could feel that Bronya had been well-educated when she first saw her.Of course, even Kiana’s occasional cleverness was evident.Bronie really loved them and did an impeccable job in educating them.Confidence and faith shone in Bronya's eyes. Of course, she still might have a little confusion, but compared to most children at St. Freya Academy, she was already far ahead.Although Bronya didn’t look that old."Of course, Sister Bronie is the best! Even the Project Bunny was made by Sister Bronie!"..."Ah chuu – I really don’t know how Kiana is doing..."Staying in her office, Bronie conducted the final game test.Senti had been exposed to the game for a while, but because the online mode wasn’t open yet, he could only reluctantly play the story mode.After playing through the prologue, Bronie suddenly took action."If you care, just go find her! Oh, I almost forgot, you have a mortal body, unlike me, who can come and go freely and do whatever I want!""Yes, yes, I know you’re special. Maybe one day I’ll feel a little tired of this life form, and I’ll consider changing it. I can’t just throw away my God-given body~"Then Senti felt like Bronie was showing off her figure.She had to say, she really had to say it.Awesome!Is it from long-term massage?Or the result of frequent moisturizing?Or has Bronie modified it herself a long time ago?Seeing that her curiosity was piqued, Senti seriously doubted that Bronie could have grown to this point without using every possible means!"So now you keep telling me that you miss Bronya?""St. Freya Academy is a closed school. It is rarely open to the public. And because it needs to conceal the existence of Honkai, St. Freya Academy will never let outsiders enter the school!""Are you the kind of person who follows the rules? I thought people like you wouldn’t be bound by those rules. After all, if you set so many rules for yourself all day, life will become boring.""First of all, I don’t think it’s boring. Secondly, humans are social animals. Overly outstanding performance can easily cause panic, which is not in line with my own goals.....Finally, those rules can’t stop me."Speaking, Bronie took out a card pack from the drawer. The cards were stacked densely together. Bronie took out a pure white card with gold inlay from it."I prepared this several years ago, but I haven’t used it. Since St. Freya Academy is supposed to be closed-off, it naturally needs a commercial street inside.""So, you bought all the shops inside?""In your mind, I’m that kind of rich woman? I just asked Otto to open a backdoor for me and leave a shop for me. I didn’t spend any money. Everything was taken by chance.""Of course, it’s like Eden... But it’s true that you can’t be as rich as giving away gems casually..."But I will be soon.That’s right, Bronie made the game at almost zero cost. If she is willing to reveal her identity, gems and other things will naturally be sent to her.But Bronie doesn’t like dealing with politicians."But then again, you left a store for a while. How long ago was that?""How long? Let me think... During the Spring Festival of 2009? It was around that time. Schicksal Entertainment was holding its annual meeting. I mentioned it to Otto. Later, after the Aeon Island incident, Otto took care of it for me.""Are you really not a prophet? Like Aponia, who makes mysterious but accurate predictions?""Please, if a person’s life is bound by an illusory fate, that’s too lame. Fate is created by one’s own hands. I just happen to know what I should know! It’s not based on prophecies or anything like that!"[Chapter 244 Himeko's Persuasion]If you walk a little further, you will reach the entrance of St. Freya College. Besides, Bronie's tools for going out are not just her legs.She carried two large bags of snacks, which were all things that Bronya and Kiana liked to eat, as well as things that Mei might like.After verifying her identity at the entrance of St. Freya College, Bronie successfully entered the gate of St. Freya Academy."By the way, other protagonists of Honkai Impact 3rd either start at St. Freya Academy or enter St. Freya Academy soon. But I just entered St. Freya College now. Isn't this a bit strange..."Looking at the courtyard that seemed a little familiar, Bronie looked around again.I have to say that St. Freya Academy is really like a city within a city. It has all the necessary facilities. If it were isolated from the outside world, there would be no sense of disobedience.Can this really be called a school?Otto dotes on Theresa too much. In this land, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, he bought such a large piece of land at once. Whatever Theresa wants, Otto will give it to her without hesitation.There is even a hangar for floating battleships.Although it is built on the seabed, it is still outrageous enough.After all, it has only been a few years now?In 2014, the Third Eruption had just broken out not long ago!"Hey! That lady! Excuse me, what are you doing here during class time? And please show your ID card. I don't think I have ever seen this face at St. Freya Academy."There’s no way around it—who makes me so beautiful?As long as you squat in a corner, you will immediately attract attention. St. Freya Academy is a place where there are more girls than boys, but even so, Bronie's appearance and temperament are enough to stand out from so many Valkyrie reserves.Bronie turned around and looked.That fiery red hair is like a blooming rose.A familiar figure. The last time they met seemed to be in the snowfield of Siberia.At that time, Himeko was still quite young, and even her breasts were not as exaggerated."I'm F, how old are you?""G... No, why am I talking to you about this? Where is your ID? And why do I feel that you look a little... familiar?"After seeing Bronie's face, Himeko also felt a little familiar.Although this way of greeting is indeed a bit unique.But since the other party reported her size first, she couldn’t show weakness.Seeing Bronie's eyes widen, Himeko felt a little proud in her heart.No, what was she proud of here!?If this stranger in front of her didn’t pay attention to the alert, wouldn’t it put the students in danger!?Bronie took out a badge from the gap in her chest. The pure white card was inlaid with golden lace, and the symbol of Schicksal on it was clear at a glance.

Himeko immediately felt that the identity of the girl in front of her was definitely not simple!"Owner of Shop No. 08 in the St. Freya Academy Commercial Street, here to check the operation of the shop, and also to see my sister.""Shop No. 08? I remember that shop... It seems to be a shop that sells games and game consoles..."Picking up the card, scanning it on her phone, and after connecting to the system of Schicksal, Bronie's ID photo appeared in front of Himeko."Yes, that's my shop. I was too busy to come and see it before, but I happened to have a little time recently, so I came to check on it.""Um, Ms. Bronie, right... Bronie... Bronie, you are the game producer Haxxor Bunny!? Bronya's sister!""You know Bronya! That's great! I was just worried about how to find Bronya! I didn't expect that after entering this school, even communication with the outside world was restricted..."Although this restriction definitely cannot affect Bronya, it is not easy for Bronya to answer the phone during school hours.Bronie didn't know which teaching building Bronya was attending class in, so she was a little worried for a while.If she didn't find Bronya in the store, Bronie might have to consider directly invading the internal network of Schicksal."In order to prevent most of the information inside the academy from being leaked, the school's information control is still very strict. I happen to be the head teacher of Bronya's class. After class, I can take you to see your sister. Isn't it tiring to carry so many things in your hands? Or would you like to find a place to put them first?""Then I'll go to my store! And that...""Murata Himeko, you can just call me Himeko.""Okay, then Miss Himeko, do you want to accompany me for a drink? Coffee, milk tea, tea, or wine?""No, no, no, I won't drink during work hours."!"How about tonight? Tonight, when I don’t have work, I happen to have some interesting wine in my hand. During this time, I’ll ask you to take care of Bronya and the others.""Interesting? It's hard to imagine any wine that needs to be described in this way. I have to say that I’m interested. You’ve successfully aroused my interest, but it seems that you don’t drink much on weekdays?""Alcoholism is harmful to the body. Everything in excess is bad."At this time, Bronie saw that Himeko was about to take the bag from her hand. Bronie wasn’t polite and handed it over. "Oh, it's still a bit heavy."Feeling the weight in her hand, Himeko was a little surprised. The weight didn’t seem like something an ordinary girl could easily lift. Interesting. Isn’t she an ordinary person? Or is she a natural stigma awakener?Himeko probably understood how heavy the pride and excellence of the sister who made her proud in Bronya's mouth were."Because I want to give this to Bronya, and that to Kiana, and I also want to give Mei a chance, so I prepared so many things without realizing it!"The game store was just an ordinary store. Usually, there were only two people on duty, and anti-theft was all up to chance. After all, Bronie didn’t care much about how much she lost, but if the loss was too large, she would replace the person without saying a word and have Otto send a more reliable employee.The whole store was divided into two floors: the first floor was the store, and the second floor was the warehouse and the living area that Bronie transformed. Originally, Bronie expected to keep the single room for herself, but she never came. So, usually, the employees cleaned the room to keep it tidy, but they didn’t use it much.Today, Bronie gave her employees a paid holiday and changed the sign outside from "open" to "closed.""How are those kids doing here? Although it’s only been a few days, I’m still a little worried that they won’t get used to the local climate here. After all, the food in the Far East isn’t that good."Sure enough, Bronie was most worried about Kiana and Bronya.Seeing Bronie like this, Himeko’s eyes, which were originally a little wary, softened."They’re all good kids, but St. Freya has already taken into account students from different cultures and customs from all over the world. Therefore, although there will be Far East characteristics in terms of food, specific cuisines will be made according to the school’s statistics. For example, there are actually more children from Shenzhou!"Shenzhou... Since it has come to this, Bronie nodded."And more importantly, the dormitories are equipped with kitchens, so if you really don’t want to eat, you can make it yourself."At this time, Bronie remembered that Mei’s most common place of work as a cook was in the dormitory of St. Freya Academy!

In order to monitor Mei more closely, Theresa and Himeko chose to live with her. This avoids the estrangement between them and also allows them to deeply understand each other.I can only say that they are also a group of gentle teachers. They use their own methods to protect other students while trying their best to avoid hurting Mei."It’s good. Mei has learned cooking skills from me for a while. She’s improved very quickly. If she’s willing to cook in the dormitory, you’ll have a chance to enjoy it in the future~""Hahaha, it’s true. The food Mei makes is really delicious! She’s obviously a young lady, but she has another side that’s unexpected!""That’s the result of her hard work during the Chinese New Year. Before that, she almost burned the kitchen when she fried an egg."Gentle, yes. From hearing Mei’s character from Bronie, Himeko can feel Mei’s hardworking and serious gentleness.

Although she is a Herrscher, a Herrscher with such a character will not have too much hostility toward this world, right?After learning more about Mei from Bronie, Himeko also felt distressed about what Mei had experienced before. No wonder Mei left Senba Academy without a second thought. After all, such a living environment can easily make people feel irritated."You’re obviously very worried. Why did you let Bronya come to this school? You know, even if she doesn’t graduate from this school, she still has to go to the battlefield, and the battlefield is very, very cruel."Bronya looked confident, and she also said that she came here because she couldn’t let go of Mei and Kiana. Although this choice is really cool, Himeko is very worried that this is just a decision made by Bronya on a whim. The punishment for deserting is great. Once you enter St. Freya Academy, there is no possibility of leaving.

In order to fight against the Honkai, Bronya may be implanted with artificial stigmata!

At that time, her lifespan will be further reduced, and such a young and beautiful life is destined to dissipate in advance. This is not a good thing.And Bronie has had technical cooperation with the Archbishop of Schicksal, so she must know the truth about the Valkyrie.Why did you let Bronya come here?"Bronya followed me because she knew the cruelty of war. She had seen it since she was a child. Even though I adopted her, she still would not forget the battlefield. It was because she had seen such cruelty and was worried that her friends would sink in such a world that she decided to go to such a hell again.""See... before?"Himeko had never thought of this possibility."Bronya is a survivor of the Second Eruption. She was adopted by a mercenary group and trained as a young soldier since she was a child. She and I have no blood relation. We just adopted each other by chance.""But you two...""Just think that the creator of this world was lazy and copied the character model."After being criticized by Bronie, Himeko didn’t know what to say for a while.Then Bronie projected a glass and poured a glass of pure water for Himeko."What is this!?""Ether editing technology. If we regard some phenomena and rules of the world as codes, then ether editing is the programming language of this world. It is just some simple small techniques. There is no idea of promoting it at present. Drink some water. Drinking more water is good for your health. I see that your body has been weakened by alcohol."There are also traces of erosion by Honkai energy."Bronya actually has such a past. No wonder she has so many canned foods in the dormitory...""It seems that this home visit has been very successful? Bronya has been very sensible since I adopted her. At the same time, she also has her own ideas and life goals. Although I don’t know if she can stick to it, entering St. Freya Academy is indeed her inner wish, so I choose to support her.""The child is still young..."Himeko replied. The meaning is very clear. Bronya does look too young. It is really too cruel for her to come here rashly."Project Bunny can definitely protect her. That’s my proudest work. Have you done a practical test? If you have, you probably won’t say that.""The test will start tomorrow. It will take a long time to re-integrate the data in the memory battlefield. In order to ensure the safety of all students, a lot of preparations must be made before it starts.""Hmph, backward technology, then I will wait quietly for you to see the combat power of the Project Bunny, and then judge whether Bronya is suitable to become a Valkyrie."[Chapter 245: Green Lily on Campus]Himeko originally thought that Bronie was going to live at St. Freya Academy.After all, Bronie's game store is equipped with bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and toilets.But Bronie said she lived outside St. Freya Academy and could visit the children at any time, so she wouldn't choose to live there.Himeko said it was a pity. After all, Bronie had really brought out a bottle of wine from the store—one Himeko had never seen before.Himeko couldn't understand the words on the package, which aroused her curiosity."No wonder you said the wine you have is more interesting. But where is this wine from?""Sea of Quanta.""Uh... are you serious?"Himeko can be considered a top student, and she once had the desire to explore the starry sky.But later, because of her father's death, Himeko joined Schicksal to investigate the truth.After many twists and turns, she finally came to the Far East Branch of Schicksal, feeling like she was exiled to the frontier.Although Schicksal's technology to fight against Honkai is being innovated every year, the Valkyrie armor capable of resisting Honkai energy has only been available in recent years.In other words, Himeko, who fought before that, was in too close contact with Honkai energy, which caused the symptoms of Honkai energy erosion in her body to be a bit severe.In the end, she suddenly ended up in this state of neither up nor down, and the possibility of exploring the truth became slim. She could only be a teacher, teaching the wisdom of survival on the battlefield.However, even so, Himeko did not completely abandon her professional knowledge.She even worked hard to enrich herself by studying various subjects.So when she heard about the Sea of Quanta, Himeko found it a little outrageous."The Sea of Quanta is enormous, with countless world bubbles inside. Different world bubbles have different worlds, and different world rules and civilizations exist within them. You should be familiar with this glass of wine because it is the wine of the Hass people.""Hass... people?"Himeko felt that Bronie didn't seem to be joking."Do you remember the game Outerlands? It was adapted from the story that happened in a world bubble. It's a pity that there were no brave Hass people who stood up to adapt everything in that world bubble. There was only a meaningless cycle of destruction and rebirth."Speaking of this, Bronie handed the bottle to Himeko."I'm giving it to you. Anyway, I don't like drinking much. The rest is mostly for giving to others. I have a friend who likes drinking as much as you, but now she can't come because of special reasons.""Thank you so much!"Himeko knew that this was a gift Bronie gave to her in the hope that she would take good care of Bronya and the others.Although this could be considered a bribe to some extent, it was hard for Himeko to evaluate the value of this bottle of wine, and Himeko never intended to give up on those children from the beginning.Not to mention that she was not bad to them."So, can you take me to visit their classroom?"It was said that the other party was Otto's partner.Himeko pondered for a while and checked Bronie's identity information in the Schicksal Record again.It turned out that the authority Bronie had was higher than her own!She was an S-rank Valkyrie.So Himeko didn't think much about it and nodded directly."Okay, I didn't expect your authority in Schicksal to be so high. I don't know what kind of relationship you have with the Archbishop..."It turned out that it was not a bribe, but just a gift...To be honest, Himeko's heart was more or less moved.

After all, if Bronie had such a close relationship with the top management, maybe she could get news about her father from Bronie in the future?Her father's death was not an accident, and the truth was right in front of her!"The relationship with Otto? The kind where we don't like each other. If we don't have the same goal, I don't want to have much communication with him. He's the kind of bastard who's even more despicable than Funny Valentine. On the surface, he's indeed the Archbishop of Schicksal and is extremely glorious. He loudly shouts slogans against Honkai, but in reality, he needs the power of Honkai to achieve his goals.""Personal selfishness... The power of Honkai is indeed magical, but after five hundred years, Overseer Otto still has no results?"Although Bronie was speaking badly about Otto, who is worshipped by the Valkyries, Himeko had also dealt with many high-level leaders herself.Among them, there are countless unsavory matters, and many people who are unaware of the need to fight the Honkai, instead seeking to achieve their own goals through its power.

But would Otto give up fighting the Honkai?

Are you kidding?

"There are results, of course there are results, but if I weren't here, he'd probably have sacrificed more innocent people, and he would have destroyed the Honkai after achieving his goal. That's why the Schicksal he's been controlling has completely deviated from its path."

It's still progressing toward destroying the Honkai, but during the course of Schicksal's development, has it been tainted with selfish motives, driving it toward certain goals?

That makes sense now.

However, since she doesn't know Otto as well as Bronie, she can't provide any solid evaluation. She simply escorts Bronie into the teaching building.

Then, Bronie saw a white-haired figure standing in the corridor, asleep on their feet!

"Ugh, this brat swore to become the strongest Valkyrie. I always said combat power and wisdom go hand in hand, but this is what I get!?"

Bronie rolled up her sleeves and walked straight toward Kiana. Kiana didn't even notice her arrival, and Bronie promptly pinched Kiana's ears.

"Ouch! That hurts! Who—who is it?"

"Kiana, did you come to St. Freya just to find a new place to sleep? Since you love sleeping so much, why not come sleep in my Golden Courtyard? At least there are beds!"

"Sister Bronie!? What are you doing here!? Isn't this..."

Isn't this the territory of Schicksal!?

Given Kiana's understanding of Bronie, she knew her sister disliked Archbishop Otto of Schicksal.

Generally speaking, Bronie had no reason to come to the school. Moreover, since Sister Bronie wasn’t a member of Schicksal, it would be difficult for an outsider to simply enter St. Freya’ Academy.

"Kiana, the teacher told you to stand out, and you dare to sleep? Write a self-criticism later, no less than 2,000 words."

Kiana's face fell immediately.

Why was she so unlucky today!?

"Did you not sleep last night?"

After letting go of Kiana’s ear, Bronie looked her over.

"I did..."

"Did tou learn all the knowledge in class, so you felt  bored?"

Kiana shook her head.

"Are you worried about something? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Kiana hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"In the first class taught by Teacher Himeko yesterday... Teacher Himeko said that if a comrade is corroded by the Honkai and turns into a dead soldier, it's best to execute them before they fully transform..."

Ah, so that's it. The Valkyrie’s physical resilience is special, and their resistance to the Honkai is stronger. But once such a body is fully eroded by the Honkai, that strong body may endanger teammates.Leaving such a danger behind is also a mistake.It could even lead to more people being eroded by the Honkai, spreading the disaster.

This is indeed the most logical choice.

However, emotionally speaking, no one knows what will happen until the last moment. If you execute them directly, won't the injured be stained with the blood of their teammates?

This is why Kiana didn’t sleep well last night. The unfamiliar environment made her uneasy.

"Since you don't want to face such things, you should try to avoid them. Just let your comrades deal with the Honkai beasts before they are eroded. You shouldn't have to make such decisions. Although that’s what I say, I still hope you can choose what you won’t regret according to your heart."

"Just destroy them in advance... I know! Sister Bronie!"

Good grief, did you hear any of the latter part of the sentence?

Or are you unwilling to face the facts?

Kiana is really just a child. She hasn’t grown up at all and doesn’t realize what she’s doing or what she truly wants.

"Mei and Kiana are the most worrisome. They haven’t grown up yet. In the future, I’ll ask Miss Himeko to look after them."

Himeko felt the same way.

As a teacher, she had seen many students like them.

So she nodded and responded, "It’s our duty."

Hearing Kiana's worries, Himeko felt a little uncomfortable.

On the battlefield against the Honkai, you have to face such realities. Kiana's strong reaction just proved the kindness and innocence within her.

That’s good, but it’s not suitable for a child like Kiana to stay at St. Freya’s Academy.

However, Kiana still carries the Kaslana surname, so she definitely won’t be allowed to run away!

Leaving Kiana aside, Bronie focused her attention on the classroom.

There weren’t many students in the classroom—about twenty.

So Bronie easily spotted Mei and Bronya.

Mei was taking notes diligently in class, but was surprised to see Bronie appear at the door.

Meanwhile, Bronya was using the neural connection device to slack off?

Looking at the class material, Bronie quickly realized that almost everything being taught was something she had already covered long ago. No wonder Bronya wasn’t interested and had turned her attention elsewhere.

Not paying much attention to the rest of the classroom, Bronie projected a panel and accessed Bronya's neural connection device.

"This is..."

Himeko, seeing Bronie manipulate something, couldn't help but grow curious.

"I just want to see what Bronya is interested in lately. She’s always looking at something during class. I need to learn a bit about what’s popular with kids these days."

"Ah? Bronya’s skipping class!? No, don’t leave me standing outside alone..."

Bronie’s hand came down on Kiana's head with a swift motion.

"Idiot Kiana, if you can at least score 60 points on the exams—not 85 points—I won’t mind if you skip class. And do you think Bronya’s playing? She’s been acquiring companies recently!"

Looking at the red and green tables, Bronie immediately understood what Bronya was up to.She was using class time to trade stocks and would probably spend the money she earned on other activities during her breaks, right?

Himeko stared at the panel in front of Bronie in amazement. She saw that the companies Bronya had acquired appeared to be in materials and heavy industry, which struck her as odd.

"She’s gotten into this area recently... But it’s impossible to take down these tough companies relying solely on capital. We should consider making some moves against those old, rotten entities..."Bronie commented, and Himeko now understood why Bronie was so confident in Bronya.

Bronie knew Bronya well and trusted her greatly.

But it wasn’t about relying on anyone else’s help.

Is she some sort of gang boss!?

"Okay, I have a good understanding of what Bronya’s focused on lately. And Kiana, don’t make the teacher in class angry. Knowledge has the power to change Schicksal. Strength is just a tool to achieve your goals. Don’t do anything you’ll regret."

After closing the panel, Bronie made sure everyone was doing well, and the weight in her heart eased.

"I know, Sister Bronie~"

"Go back to the dormitory after school. I’ve prepared lots of good things for you. I’ll cook dinner for everyone tonight. Tomorrow, you’ll have actual combat training. Keep your body in top condition."

"Great! What about everyone in the Golden Courtyard?"

"Don’t worry, Aponia's there."

Himeko heard the familiar name and realized just how mysterious Bronie had become.

She actually knew that enigmatic psychological counselor!

What is the Golden Courtyard?

Are there other people living there?

After saying goodbye to Kiana, Himeko followed and asked, "So, how do you feel?"

"What's the name of the teacher in the class just now?"

"Eh? Her name? She should be a new teacher from the headquarters. Her name is Medea Ataegina. It's strange isn't it? Someone actually named their child that."

Strange?

If you knew that the person behind her was Otto, you wouldn’t be surprised!

Who knows what Otto is up to in this school?

Could it be that the Archbishop of Schicksa doesn’t do much work on regular days!?[Chapter 246: Himeko Still Hasn't Given Up on the Pursuit of the Truth of the Past]Kiana and Mei were left in the teachers' dormitory, a decision that Himeko and Theresa made unanimously. However, rather than calling it a teachers' dormitory, it was more like a villa.

Compared to the Golden Courtyard, the interior decoration was not as luxurious, but its scale could be considered a mansion.

After all, the bathroom was large, and there were several of them. The kitchen was fully equipped, although it seemed that it was not used often. Even Bronya's bedroom was a single room, but the interior decoration seemed to be similar to that of the Golden Courtyard. There was a cool computer, a bookcase dedicated to Homu and various figurines.After leaving the teaching building, Bronie complained in her heart that Otto had nothing to do. She picked some vegetables at the vegetable market and brought them to Kiana's dormitory.

Thinking of making something delicious for the children, Bronie started cooking and stewing soup early.

After all, Mei also had to go to school, so she basically had no time to make the delicious stew that took time. So Bronie chose some delicacies that they couldn't eat normally."It seems that you are usually quite free?"Himeko followed behind her all the way and just watched her.

Bronie felt a little strange.

How to say it, it's just that Himeko's eyes looking at her were a little strange."Nothing, this can be regarded as one of my jobs. After all, if you understand the relationship between the people around the Herrscher, it is also a beneficial thing for mankind to some extent.""That's true. After all, the Herrschers of the previous era are not as easy to talk to as the Herrschers of the current civilization. The Herrschers of the previous era are completely puppets. Humanity has been completely erased from the moment the Herrscher core descended in their bodies, but the current wra, even the second Herrscher acts with hatred for humans.""Is there a thing like this?"Himeko had never heard of this.

No, it should be said that most of the Schicksal Valkyries had never heard of such a thing.

After all, the Herrscher is the enemy of human civilization, and the Honkai is a goal that must be defeated. Even if there is only a 1% chance, they will choose to ignore and destroy the Herrscher. The lesson that the Second Herrscher brought to human civilization is also great enough.

Although Himeko has not experienced such a thing, she almost didn't come back when she was on a mission in Siberia and Ragna."There are not many people who are willing to take the initiative to see these facts. Some Valkyries don't even know what they are fighting for. They shout empty slogans and have more revenge in their hearts. This is the real situation of the vast majority of Valkyries. Fortunately, Mei met you.""In fact, Theresa and I have been trying to change all this, and many people have changed because of us, and even started to try to change others.""Oh? It seems that you have a student who makes you proud?"Hearing Bronie's question, Himeko also smiled."Yes, Wendy is a very gentle child. After graduation, she seemed to want to take the initiative to devote herself to that environment and change that bad environment. And the cause of all this is still because of your game!""Oh? What game?"Bronie didn't expect Wendy to be related to the game, which made Bronie curious."At first, she talked about Undertale, and later Persona, which gave her the confidence to do this. She seems to have found her own way...""Is that so? Then I can only wish her to find her own freedom. Wendy, it sounds like a very gentle and a little naughty name.""Yes, it is indeed a little naughty!"Himeko noticed Bronie's complicated mood and knew that Wendy's path was destined to be difficult.

So, although she was happy, she was inevitably a little worried.

As for why Himeko was not worried? It was probably because she could contact Wendy occasionally, and Wendy's condition was indeed very good.

At least the information conveyed by Wendy was not bad."But by the way, how old are you now, Bronie?""Eh? Why do you ask this? I'm only 21 now.""Nothing, I just feel like you act like the mother of Bronya and Kiana. You should find a boyfriend early when you're so young, otherwise, you won't have a chance when you get older. But now that you're so successful, your partner will feel inferior, right?"Okay, the old woman started talking about love. Although she's not yet 30, she seems to be getting close."The saying that an elder sister is like a mother is not just a random statement. Kiana was abandoned by her father when she was a child, so she lived with me for a while. Bronya didn't have a good life in the past, and the care she gets now is what she deserves. As for the other half, I already have one. Although it's not a man, it's really sincere.""Huh?"Himeko never thought that Bronie actually already had a partner!?When talking about Elysia, Bronie's eyes became a little gentler."Actually, if you have met Ellie, you will definitely feel her beauty. Everyone has their own excellence. The root cause of inferiority comes from jealousy, and true love will not be tested by such emotions."Jealousy?

Even if it is a bad mood, both parties can feel each other and then completely digest this part of the bad mood. So Himeko, who has such troubles, has never really encountered true love.

After hearing what Bronie said, Himeko opened her mouth for a long time and didn't know what to say.Okay, okay, you show your affection like this, right!Himeko now feels like someone is pouring freshly squeezed concentrated lemon juice into her mouth.

It's really sour."But don't worry, you can always find your true love, no matter if the other person is a man or a woman. When you really feel moved, you will understand it yourself. But a beautiful encounter usually starts with curiosity. So get to know others more, be more curious, maybe you will really meet someone one day!"On weekdays, although the bar that Himeko frequents is a solitary bar with a relatively quiet environment, she tends to drink too much. When she gets wild, she scares away many boys.

Moreover, after being in the Valkyrie Corps for many years, her military temperament sometimes frightens people when she lets it slip.

After that, people tend to distance themselves, regardless of whether they are curious or not."Not in a hurry? Of course you're not in a hurry, but how can I not be in a hurry~""Actually, if you want a child, adopting one isn’t a bad idea. If you care about the gender of your partner, that can be easily addressed with technology. But is the feeling of wanting offspring really something that only comes from pursuing love? I don’t think so.""...That's true. This thing can't be forced, but you know that our Valkyries have defects in their lifespan, right?""I'm dealing with it.""Huh?"Himeko didn’t expect Bronie to respond."When facing their own death, Valkyries are more or less afraid. This fear can lead to psychological distortions, so even if they lose the power to fight Honkai, I pull them back from the brink of death. I’ve been working to eliminate the side effects of the incomplete and crude artificial stigmata."Bronie had considered this since she arrived in this world and began working with Mobius.

Unfortunately, she had limited interactions with Valkyries and had few samples to work with. But Otto was also studying the stigmata and had tried to extract Kallen's genes from them.

Later, nothing useful was extracted from Kallen's body. It wasn’t until recently that Otto learned that Kallen had given her stigmata to Yae Sakura.Bronie recently learned from Otto how the artificial stigmata were created. With the materials and other necessary elements now available, Bronie had naturally begun her own research on the artificial stigmata, investigating their side effects.In short, artificial stigmata inevitably damage the human body during operation, much like adding new hardware to the human body and overloading it for mining. To treat this, one must focus on both the stigmata and the body’s recovery. Otto was also working on this. However, Otto’s main focus was on resurrecting Kallen.

After realizing the biological approach wasn’t working, Otto gave up on it.Currently, the treatment for artificial stigmata within Schicksal is mostly relying on outdated methods, with few new breakthroughs. The main focus has been on using the power of the stigmata to enhance the body’s recovery ability in other parts of the Valkyrie’s body, but that’s just a temporary solution.It’s not that no one within Schicksal is conducting research, but most of the research funds are allocated by Otto himself, and the by-products of his research are used to fund Schicksal’s other projects. The money earned is then funneled into other research areas.

Due to these constraints, the final research funds are limited, which led to the Valkyrie rehabilitation plan being shelved.Theresa was aware of this and once mentioned it to Himeko, who felt disappointed upon hearing it."How are the research results!?""For me, it's just an exam, so it’s not a breakthrough. But for the current artificial stigma healing technology in Schicksal, it is indeed a breakthrough, right? But for those Valkyries, who have lost the power to fight against the Honkai and the opportunity for revenge, will they resent me instead?""It’s so effective!"Hearing Bronie’s response, Himeko felt happy in her heart. However, Bronie didn’t seem like someone from Schicksal, and even if such a technology existed, it seemed troublesome to promote.

Would she even see it happen in her lifetime?Sensing Himeko’s concerns, Bronie comforted her, "Don’t worry. Otto’s greatest strength is that he listens to advice, so there’s no need to worry about promotion being hindered. I have at least nine reasons he cannot refuse.""You’re so great? 21 years old?""Come on, I made a lot of money from games when I was 16. What good would it do for me to lie to you? Geniuses always act one step ahead of others. Even when it comes to finding a girlfriend, I’m faster than you!"Damn, that hits my weak point!For a Valkyrie of Schicksal, after the age of 25, one is considered relatively old, and by the age of 30, retirement is often considered. Most Valkyries find their partner around the age of 20, either someone else from the army or another Valkyrie.At this point, Himeko couldn’t judge whether Bronie’s words were true, but her intuition told her they probably were."It’s amazing... When I was your age, I was still in college..."At that time, Bronie had read the mangas of Honkai Impact 3rd, so she knew what Himeko was like at that time. Although her mother had passed away, she had a father who loved her very much. But later, because of the execution of the Schicksal plan, he died in an unknown corner. Even the truth about his death was completely covered up."Things have passed; people always have to look forward. I’ve repeated it countless times in the game.""Yes, people always have to look forward, but if someone’s past is buried by too many lies and falsehoods, they can easily lose themselves. You know, back then, my dream was to be an astronaut..."As she spoke, Himeko began to tell her story. Her father had rarely invited her university professors to visit their home, and shortly after that, she suddenly fell seriously ill.

After she recovered, she received the news of her father's death. Himeko suspected her illness was somehow related to her father’s death. If it had been a simple Honkai accident, she, as an A-level Valkyrie, could have found some relevant information.

But the key point was that her father was a Schicksal researcher, and as an A-level Valkyrie, she couldn’t find any relevant information about his death!Lies had covered up the truth, and her father—the only family she had—disappeared without explanation. This had a huge impact on Himeko.Bronie could understand this, but what if her memory of her father wasn’t as pure as she thought?

What if Himeko’s father had once threatened others with her life?Welt believed this possibility was too cruel for Himeko, but that was just the Himeko from back then. In 2006, Bronie hadn’t yet arrived in this world, so she didn’t know the full picture.However, Bronie could tell Himeko the truth from another perspective by accessing the databases of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy."Himeko, are you really prepared? Even if your real father wasn’t as beautiful in your memory, it would completely shatter your previous understanding. Do you want to pursue the truth fully?"Bronie’s words stunned Himeko."But this is just my guess. Think about it—this level of confidentiality, aside from the Herrscher, likely involves the core secrets of Schicksal and may even involve more people. In your memory, your father was a good researcher under Schicksal, but in reality, there are also researchers in Schicksal with no moral boundaries."Before meeting Bronie, Himeko hadn’t had much hope of uncovering the truth and had even begun to give up.

But now, the truth was right in front of her!"Not as beautiful? Although the reason I became a Valkyrie wasn’t entirely pure at first, it’s different now. I now clearly understand why I became a Valkyrie and why I fight. It’s not just for the truth, so please tell me—I’m ready!"Chapter 247: The Truth Is Like Pure OxygenIn fact, the information and data regarding Murata Ryusuke should be more extensive in Anti-Entropy than that of Schicksal.

After all, the protagonists of that accident were Murata Ryusuke and Welt.

As a peripheral figure, Otto never discovered Murata Ryusuke's inner rebellion, even when he used Fenghuang Down to examine Ryusuke's brain.

This led to Otto's doubt about the true power of the simulated Divine Key.

Perhaps the real power of the simulated Divine Key isn't as strong as that of the original Divine Key?Later, Otto was defeated once again by Bronie, which made him feel like he was very weak. However, the cognitive modification in other experiments was still a success, and Otto regained a bit of confidence."Are you still in contact with the people from Anti-Entropy!?" Himeko asked, surprised to see Bronie suddenly contacting Tesla."The world is bustling, all for profit. As an organization that once fought against the Second Eruption, Anti-Entropy has done very well. What's more, the last thing your father did was take the secret key of the Fourth Divine Key to the United States and contact people from Anti-Entropy. Therefore, Anti-Entropy should have more information than Schicksal.""Have I been looking in the wrong direction all along?" Himeko thought that Fate had played a trick on her. She had worked so hard in Schicksal for many years, only to discover that even her efforts had been misdirected.Of course, aside from a little regret, Himeko did not regret joining Schicksal and becoming a Valkyrie. After all, she still knew what she had been fighting for, and such news could not discourage her."Hey! Bronie, don't tell me your IP address is real. Are you really calling her from the Far East Branch of Schicksal?" Himeko asked.Bronie did not hide her IP address or at least did not hide it from Anti-Entropy's people. Schicksal still disguised its presence, at least Otto would definitely not notice it."Long time no see, Tesla. Look who's next to me!""Schicksal Valkyrie!? What the hell are you trying to do? And don't you know that we have a very tense relationship with Schicksal!? Are you trying to be the one to ignite the powder keg?!"Tesla was still aware of the tense relationship between Anti-Entropy and Schicksal during this period. They were scheming against each other openly and secretly, whether in business or technology. The United States would even cooperate with Anti-Entropy to sanction companies under Schicksal."I didn't recognize you. You were there that year. Murata Himeko, Murata Ryusuke... how much do you remember about these two names?""Ah? Why are you asking this suddenly!? Wait, the one next to you is that guy's daughter!? Damn, you investigated me, right?""Ms. Tesla, do you really know the truth about my father's death!? I just want the truth... a completely unreserved truth..."As if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, Himeko realized that the appearance of Tesla, the executor of Anti-Entropy, was a rare opportunity.

Although it was slightly different from what she had expected, it was indeed an opportunity to uncover the truth!Tesla felt guilty when she heard Himeko's words.

After all, Tesla had also voted in favor of concealing Ryusuke's death to Himeko's. Primarily, it had been Welt's decision."Well, Einstein, you explain this! I can't say it!" Tesla said before disappearing from the screen, replaced by Einstein."I haven't seen Bronie for a long time. There was a big fog in Nagazora, and then the Eruption occurred, but almost no one died. The leader told us that this was your handiwork.""All the occurrences of the Eruption are traceable. Instead of asking me how I knew about this in advance, it would be better to ask how much Honkai energy canisters your radicals in Anti-Entropy transported to Nagazora.""Wait, this is news to me! Mophead, do you know about this?"Tesla obviously had no knowledge of this, and the radicals in Anti-Entropy had not disappeared with Cocolia's death. Cocolia had merely been someone who united scattered radicals and tried to control the resources of Anti-Entropy when Welt was absent. Though Cocolia was gone, many others like her remained."The Honkai energy canisters sent to Nagazora was sent under the name of Raiden Ryoma.""So, he got involved in an economic fraud case? You see, the Second Eruption was also like this, the third, and even the fourth may evolve in the same way. I just noticed the clues and arranged things in advance. Moreover, this method cannot be used too frequently. If its scope expands, the very definition of humanity could be rewritten. Though it may seem like a victory over Honkai, it also leads to humanity losing its future.""Expand... Indeed, you, who used this method, have considered spreading it worldwide, right? Even if the definitions of humanity are rewritten, this is not the best choice. The plan left by the previous civilization is really outrageous. And as for that Houraiji Kyuusyou you asked me to investigate, there's no issue with her. The stigmata detection device you gave me didn't find anything.""Now is not the time to discuss that. Is there really no problem with Houraiji Kyuusyou? To be honest, I feel a bit uneasy, but forget it. Murata Himeko is mentally prepared to accept the truth. I am willing to believe Himeko, so tell her."When Himeko was still wondering whether Bronie had been involved in the events in Nagazora, Bronie's words brought her focus back."Murata Himeko, right? Listen carefully to the truth about your real father, Murata Ryusuke, who was willing to sacrifice everything for his dream."The story of Murata Ryusuke is actually quite simple: it was all about pursuing his dream.From the family motto of the Murata family, it is clear that members of the Murata family must courageously pursue their dreams, no matter the circumstances. And Murata Ryusuke's dream was to explore the universe. Even when faced with the two issues of his wife being seriously ill and his desire to explore the universe, Murata Ryusuke would choose the dream of exploring the universe without hesitation.This psychologically twisted individual had never been noticed by Himeko. In fact, Himeko had even become interested in exploring the universe because of Murata Ryusuke's influence.When studying the Fourth Divine Key and trying to develop a spaceship, Schicksal cut off Murata Ryusuke's plans to explore the universe in favor of focusing on fighting the Honkai.The result of sacrificing his wife and everything in exchange was unacceptable to Murata Ryusuke, but he would not give up his dream. He even announced to the outside world that the way to fight the Honkai was in space.This spirit was, of course, highly valued by someone named Peppermint from the Sugars.Peppermint felt that the spirit of exploring the outside world was very similar to his own. The Shoggoths had been using self-enclosed methods to avoid the pursuit of the Sky People, while he believed that the way to fight them lay beyond. So, the two reached an agreement, and Murata Ryusuke's ambitions grew as he cooperated with Peppermint.He even used his daughter's life to achieve his goal.

By usurping the body of the first Herrscher, Welt, and gaining new power, he used that power along with Anti-Entropy's resources to create his own spaceship. His dream had always been consistent, but it had morphed into complete paranoia and madness.Perhaps Murata Ryusuke went completely insane the moment he sacrificed his wife but failed to achieve his desired outcome. In the end, Welt broke through Murata Ryusuke's scheme to seize the dimensional weapon of the Sugars and defeated him.

The fourth Divine Key was damaged, the dimensional weapon of the Sugars was destroyed, and even Otto of Schicksal was almost kept in the dark, so there was very little information within Schicksal.Upon learning the truth about her father, Himeko's eyes were filled with astonishment. In her mind,

Murata Ryusuke had been a very good father. Although he was busy with work, he would praise her for good grades, occasionally take time to have dinner with her, and always bought her birthday cakes.But now, she realized he had almost died right in front of her. What Bronie had mentioned earlier turned out to be true. Her real father was very different from the man she remembered. Even though Himeko had mentally prepared herself, the truth was so shocking that it felt like her heart had stopped beating."Thank you for your explanation, Ms. Einstein. In short, Himeko has obtained the truth she has been seeking. However, she may need some time to calm down. Do continue to monitor Houraiji Kyuusyou.," Bronie said."Can you tell us what's unusual about her?" Einstein asked, not understanding why Bronie would be interested in an ordinary Far East girl.

Even if there was a chance of awakening the stigma within her, it still didn’t seem significant given that there were over fifty children in Nagazora who might have awakened the stigma."There’s no specific evidence. Do you know what I usually do?" Bronie replied."Studying the conspiracy against Honkai?""Einstein, although you're old, you have a great sense of humor. I usually make games! Whenever there's a new game on the internet, I pay attention to it, whether it's good or bad. It's just that Houraiji Kyuusyou has also made games, and in my memory, her fan game of Homu appeared out of nowhere."A loophole.

Bronie immediately recalled the reminder from The Elation.

Many people in Nagazora claimed to remember Houraiji Kyuusyou and even her identity was available on the internet. But just the name, just the existence of it, made Bronie wary."What if there’s really something wrong here?" Bronie thought.Unfortunately, she didn't have the time to monitor this person closely, so she had to turn to Anti-Entropy. As for Otto, he would likely catch the other party and study it himself. If he couldn't figure it out, he’d dispose of them.The person who had made Bronie so concerned couldn’t be simple."I understand Otto’s mindset," Bronie continued.

She decided not to use Houraiji Kyuusyou to provoke him. Otherwise, she can't imagine what someone like him who dares to appear in women's clothing as a teacher at St. Freya College would do next."Could there be a problem with your memory?" Einstein guessed.Bronie shook her head. "If there’s a problem with my memory, that means a more powerful enemy has appeared. If you’re unwilling to spare resources to monitor Houraiji Kyuusyou, then I’ll handle it on my own."Bronie had almost forgotten about Hydra, but the Far East was a small place, and Hydra didn’t pay much attention to it. The main forces here were Anti-Entropy."Well, since you said so, we should be cautious," Einstein replied. "After all, you have your own reasons for judgment. But I do want to remind you that too much concealment will reduce mutual trust. If there are more secrets, we’ll need to reevaluate your trust level.""Alright, The Elation told me there might be loopholes in Nagazora's plan. I suspect that Houraiji Kyuusyou is one of them. This is the final secret from The Elation."Einstein finally understood. No wonder Bronie was so sensitive.

This situation was indeed outrageous. Bronie might not have believed it at first, but could she be that kind of person?

Einstein had witnessed miracles and powers of that magnitude, so the Aeon and such beings probably existed. However, revealing too much information might make everyone overthink and create bias against Houraiji Kyuusyou..Bronie hoped Anti-Entropy wouldn’t act too rashly, but could they hold back? Especially Tesla, who would definitely not be able to resist capturing Houraiji and studying her."I understand your concerns, and I will reconsider my attitude towards Houraiji Kyuusyou. Can we really find problems just by observing her?""For me, this level of surveillance is enough. After all, she made a great game... Anyway, enough of the small talk. Beautiful girls are waiting for me to comfort them. Goodbye~"With that, Bronie ended the call and turned to Himeko who was still moping."The past is already behind us, and the truth is as painful as pure oxygen. So let’s use some wine to dilute it. Everything in the past is over, and the future is still ours to choose."Taking out some side dishes, Bronie poured a glass of wine and handed it to Himeko."The truth is like pure oxygen... Huh... If it were me in the past, I would have collapsed easily. Though this hard-to-accept fact is difficult to process, as you said, the future is in our hands now. Let’s drink to our hearts’ content and throw away all our troubles!"[Chapter 248 Finally Met Theresa]"Hey, finally, finally, finally - class is over! Tomorrow is the actual combat training. I don't know why Sister Bronie came here suddenly and caught me slacking off in class...""Idiot Kiana, if you hadn't been absent from class from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened. And now you're so tired. Can Kiana still endure it for the next three years?"Kiana on the way home from school and Kiana in class are like two different people. She's as lazy as a tree in class and as crazy as a dog after class.Bronya wondered if Kiana was in the same state at Senba Academy.No wonder Sister Bronie said that the level of grades is not directly related to the current state of the child. You never know how big the difference can be between a child's state in class and after class.Now Bronya has seen it."Oh, it's so boring to hear the teacher talking in class! When fighting Honkai Beasts, there is no time to think about so many problems; you just pick up your weapon and charge!""If Kiana didn't have the strange power of the Kaslana family, you would die in less than three minutes. Your meaningless sacrifice would only become a laughing stock, and your friends and family would be sad.""Okay..."She lways felt that after entering St. Freya Academy, the lessons of Sister Bronie have become the lessons of Bronya."Okay, Kiana is just a little playful, but she actually knows a lot of things, right?"Mei always feels that many of the knowledge points Kiana has mastered are not what current students should be mastering. It seems like more of a review than what is learned in class.To be honest, Mei is not sure if this feeling is correct."That's right! Bronie sister, Teacher Vill-V, Teacher Ellie teacher, and Teacher Eden have taught me those things before! So I have experience. When fighting, there is no time to think about so many problems!"

It's enough to remember those things with the body, and the other self will remind you at the critical moment. Although the cute little Sirin likes to slack off at ordinary times, she can always give key help in serious battles. Whether it is dodging or fighting after the attack, Sirin can always give very correct hints. She is basically a dedicated external brain for battle."If Kiana can keep passing the cultural exam, Bronya will not say anything.""Ah? Aren't you embarrassing me!"

Kiana was very helpless. She was really not so good at exams. Although she knew a lot of things, it was really troublesome to write them down."I'm back~!" After returning to the dormitory, Kiana threw the schoolbag in her hand fiercely. Then Bronya frowned because she smelled a very strong smell of alcohol."Has Teacher Himeko been drinking during the day? Why is there such a strong smell of alcohol? And the smell of this alcohol... is a bit strange..."Mei couldn't help frowning. Although she didn't spend much time with Himeko on weekdays, she still thought Himeko was a very good teacher. She was even willing to live with her, a Herrscher, which in itself explained a lot of problems."Hey, is school over today? Sorry, Himeko might be in a bad mood today, so I drank a little more with her. You guys wait a little longer, dinner will be ready soon. By the way, if your dean usually comes to dinner, will she come to dinner?"It turned out to be Sister Bronie!Mei saw Bronie sitting at the dining table, with a slightly drunken blush on her face and a somewhat blurred look. She didn't know why she felt a kind of heartbeat so suddenly after seeing her.

Because of her, millions of people in Nagazora did not die because she became a Herrscher. Also because of her, she figured out why her father chose to hide it from her.ME company is an important fulcrum for controlling the Far East under Anti-Entropy, and her father is fighting against Schicksal and Honkai, unwilling to involve her.Before going to bed at night, Mei thought about a lot of things. She didn't expect that Bronie could do so many things for her, and her father definitely love her. It's a pity that her father is in jail now, and she doesn't know when he will be released."Great! I can finally eat Bronie's food today! But Bronie, do you know what happened to Teacher Himeko today?"Seeing Himeko drunk, Kiana still feels a faint sense of sadness. But Kiana is still a little curious."Nothing, adults' business. Let Himeko be alone now."Although Himeko usually gets drunk, she will never get drunk to this extent, as if she is giving up the whole world.As she said that, Bronie slowly lifted Himeko up, then carried her into her bedroom. Afterward, Bronie came out again.At this time, Mei and Bronya had already cleaned the table."Sister Bronie took out her treasured wine~"Bronya brought the wine to Bronie.At this time, Mei also went into the kitchen to reheat the dishes and prepare for dinner."There’s no helping it. Your teacher Himeko likes wine just like Eden. I can’t comfort Himeko, so I can only try to comfort her in this way."Himeko knew the truth, and now she could only rely on herself to get through it. The father who had always been by her side had almost destroyed her.

That would be a huge blow to anyone.Bronie thought about it. If Cioara did the same to her, she would be deeply saddened.However, Bronie still believed that Himeko would eventually overcome her sadness, because she did have a belief in her heart—a belief to fight for all the good in the world."Although I don’t know what happened to Teacher Himeko, she will definitely get over the sadness, right? Sister Bronie, you must have done something, right?"Mei came out of the kitchen with the hot dishes, and at that moment, Theresa entered the dormitory."Um, Aunt, Teacher Himeko...""I know, Bronie sent me a message. I didn’t expect it to be like this. And Bronie, I didn’t expect you to have such a close connection with Anti-Entropy. Doing something like that at the Far East Branch of Schicksal, aren’t you being a bit too arrogant?"Theresa was still very surprised when she received the news. Bronie had explained the entire situation clearly, and the cause and effect were laid out plainly.She never expected Himeko to have a past like this. Himeko had asked her to investigate Murata Ryusuke before, but she couldn’t find anything, so Theresa hadn’t cared about it at the time.The truth came out, but it was far too cruel!It’s worthy of the woman who created Magical Girl Madoka.Theresa looked Bronie up and down. It seemed like she had drunk a lot of wine with Himeko, but her breasts were comparable to Himeko’s.Damn!"It’s as if Anti-Entropy is an organization that destroys humanity, just like Schicksal. Although I have no issue with the radicals of Anti-Entropy—they're just street lamp pendants—but Tesla and Einstein were also your old comrades, weren’t they?""You!"Theresa really had nothing to say. During the second Eruption, the two were reliable comrades. If it hadn’t been for their efforts, the damage caused by the second Eruption would have been even greater."Here, the peripherals of Magical Girl Madoka. Himeko told me you really wanted my autograph. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever left an autograph for a fan!"As she said that, Bronie threw out a Chibi doll, and Theresa hugged it, her face turning green."You did this on purpose! You gave me Kyubey! You human Kyubey!!""Hehe, isn’t it great? Teaching children that there’s no darkness in this world is a terrible thing, isn’t it?"Looking at the familiar Theresa, so angry, Bronie couldn’t help but feel a little nostalgic.Back in Arc City, her idol Teriri had taken good care of her.Originally, Bronie hadn’t known how to face Theresa in this world, just like when she first met Cioara.But now, thinking back, she realized she had been a little too hypocritical."It’s all because of you! All the new magical girl anime has turned into that dark and cruel theme! All the beauty has been shattered by you!""Aunt! I didn’t expect you to have such a childish hobby—watching magical girls?"Theresa was speechless.Theresa looked at Mei, and Mei stared at her with a smile.Looking at Bronya again, Bronya had taken out her phone and seemed to be recording something.If any other children at the school saw me like this, my dignity as the dean would be completely gone, right?Embarrassed and panicked, Theresa hurried over to Bronya and tried to delete the video, then quickly began to lecture Kiana.Suddenly, the whole kitchen was in chaos, as if they had completely forgotten about Himeko."Pfft, okay, okay, your dean is just physically special, not immature. She's just like the elves in those works. In fact, Theresa is older than anyone here, although theoretically, Theresa’s current physical age is about ten years old, right?""Did my grandfather tell you about this?"Theresa stopped making a fuss. After confirming that the video in Bronya’s phone was indeed deleted, she sat down obediently."Today, Sister Bronie made bitter melon and braised pork ribs. This is the first time I’ve seen it!"Mei brought the dishes to the table, and Kiana immediately made a bitter face upon seeing them."Sister Bronie, how come you like bitter melon as much as my aunt does?""Great! It’s bitter melon and pork ribs! How did you know I like bitter melon?!"Bronie just shook her head and responded, "Actually, if bitter melon is processed well, it tastes good. If it’s fully mature, it’s sweet. It’s just that fully mature bitter melon is hard to preserve, so it’s not usually sold in the market."Theresa couldn’t wait to pick up her chopsticks and grabbed a large piece of bitter melon, putting it into her mouth."Wow, the fragrance of bitter melon, the richness of meat, and the taste of spices, this is amazing!""Sister Bronie has never made this dish before~ Well, I didn’t expect bitter melon to taste like this?"Bronya also tasted it and felt that Sister Bronie seemed different today.Uh...For example, Sister Bronie actually knows Theresa?"Really? Bronya, you didn’t lie to me, did you? You usually pretend to be expressionless, and you did the same today. Are you trying to trick me into eating bitter melon?""No, Kiana, you have to believe in Bronie’s cooking skills. I’ve been getting recipes from Bronie recently, and most of them are dishes that you and Bronya like!"Mei still admired Bronie’s cooking skills. Although Bronie rarely cooked, her skills had not regressed. She occasionally tried to make new dishes and improve them.Kiana carefully picked up a piece of bitter melon and put it into her mouth."Although I don’t like bitterness, the taste of this bitter melon isn’t as bad as... bitter..."It’s more of a subtle fragrance from the bitter melon, combined with the taste of star anise and cinnamon used to roast the pork ribs."Damn it! You’re so good at cooking and playing games! It was Himeko who told you, wasn’t it? Himeko told you I like bitter melon, right?"Bronie thought about it. Himeko didn’t exactly say it, but she did mention it a little when buying bitter melon. Still, Bronie nodded."Just think of it like this. I mainly came here to see if you're settling in well. The battlefield itself is cruel. I don’t want you to go to the battlefield at such a young age, but... you’ve already made up your mind, right?"Mei immediately thought of what Teacher Himeko had said before—if a comrade is about to become a dead soldier, then eliminate them before they completely change. In this way, being responsible for your own life also means being responsible for the other surVill-Vng teammates.So Mei nodded with mixed feelings. Kiana wasn’t too happy."I will eliminate all the zombies without leaving a single one, and I won’t let them threaten my comrades!" She felt a little unsure of herself."Bronya is already familiar with the battlefield, so you don’t need to worry about me, Sister Bronie.""Anyway, I live nearby. If you have any troubles, you can contact me anytime, and I’ll definitely come!"[Chapter 249: Senti's Alt+F4]Seeing Theresa's face again, Bronie still felt very conflicted.But forget it—her Theresa is not the same as the one in front of her. The Theresa here has a grandfather who dotes on her very much, so her life isn't that bad.Since there isn't much interaction, Bronie thinks it's better to keep contact minimal. Otherwise, if Otto sees them together, he might randomly grab Theresa one day and use her as leverage.Although Bronie assumes Otto is still busy teaching while disguised as his daughter, he probably doesn’t have much time to pay attention to what happens in Theresa's dormitory.Finally, she whispered a few words to Sirin, and after sleeping with Bronya that night, she planned to leave St. Freya Academy.Her store is still open, and the employees will naturally return to work after a day of paid leave.Bronie took another look at Archbishop Otto who called himself Medea, and left a Trojan horse inside his body with disdain before departing from St. Freya College.But before leaving, Bronie happened to see the Hyperion taking off, seemingly for some routine maintenance.She felt envious.If she had a similar floating warship with a complete set of ecological zones inside, how great would that be?But she winced at the thought of how much it would cost for daily maintenance.There was no way—this thing was a money-eating beast, consuming hundreds of millions a day. She’d go bankrupt in minutes.Judging by her current income from making games, it definitely wouldn’t be enough.But Bronie would leave Earth sooner or later, so even if it wasn't enough, she needed to consider other ways to make money.Otherwise, she could become self-sufficient and build a self-maintaining spaceship!That way, the operating costs of the entire spacecraft could be greatly reduced.With a plan in mind, Bronie started thinking about how to make it. If it was a sailing spacecraft, maybe Vill-V was more familiar with this kind of thing.After all, Grisep's Project Ark was almost entirely led by Vill-V, and Bronie could learn some experience from her!Constantly calculating the plan in her mind, Bronie felt that the next Eruption was coming, so she should start preparing an exploration plan. After all, it wouldn’t be long before the final doom followed the next Eruption."Wow, is there really nothing wrong with your brain? Explore the universe? Abandon everything here?"Senti finally saw Bronie returning and was about to greet her, but she overheard the thoughts spreading out from Bronie.Various formulas, plus various drawings, made Senti dizzy.She didn’t expect Bronie's brain to be so active.But now that she thought about it, if Bronie didn't have such a powerful brain, it probably wouldn’t be able to support the operation of the creation system.Senti also wanted to use her power to create a game world of her own.What was the result?She seemed to have gotten completely stuck when it came to writing the code.It could only be said that Fu Hua’s memories didn’t offer many scientific insights; they were mostly literary and pedantic, which made her feel bored.Fortunately, Senti had a very active imagination and came up with a relatively wonderful and outrageous little game.Specifically, it was a game designed based on a dungeon from Elden Ring. Its main features were platform jumping, super-realistic experience, and mechanisms that made people question their life choices.The modeling was super realistic—after all, it was created through the power of consciousness.But in terms of gameplay, when Bronie returned home, she seemed to hear Rosalia and Lilia crying."Abandon everything here? How could I have this idea? Don't worry, I won't abandon everything. I heard that the Trailblaze Aeon Akivili has the ability to teleport people to their hometowns at will, so I'll probably find that power and set off...""Is there such a powerful Aeon?""Yes, as long as you’ve been to a place, you can teleport directly there. I heard it’s called a boundary anchor...""Then I’ll follow you to experience it in the future!""Of course!"Bronie nodded. Although the Astral Express might still be selective with passengers, she believed that she had no bad intentions and had the necessary strength.Whether it was train maintenance or logistics work, there would be no issues at all.As for dealing with the Emanators?Forget it. Bronie felt her most powerful attack was probably on the level of pinching a black hole like Welt.To be honest, that kind of self-destructive attack wasn’t exactly elegant."Okay, okay, by the way, how are those little ones doing? Do you feel relieved? But come to think of it, if they weren’t reassured, how could you think about leaving Earth?"Senti was really lively.Bronie nodded in response to Senti's question."Kiana always sleeps in class, Bronya is still so reliable, and Mei seems to be starting to fit in. Although she always asks me how to control the power of the Herrscher, I’m not a Herrscher.""Then let me do it?"Suddenly, teaching a student seemed interesting.Bronie looked at Senti."Yes, every disciple taught by Fu Hua is a talent..."After saying this, Senti also showed a self-doubting expression on her face.Good grief, now that she thought about it, she recalled the kind of heaven-defying students Fu Hua had taught before.Fortunately, they weren’t her real disciples, but in retrospect, Senti felt it wasn't a good experience."If it were me, I'd definitely grind those evil disciples to dust! And I wouldn't be like that old Tim, teaching those bad, evil disciples!""Mei is a very gentle girl! And she works hard. She is definitely a very good disciple, so she won’t encounter that kind of situation..."Senti had never really been with Mei, so she didn’t seem to know her very well. But Bronie thought that Mei was still trustworthy.She had to admit, the way Raiden Ryoma taught her was really adorable."Hehe, I’m getting interested after listening to you, but I’m going to play games tonight!"

That's right, Red Dead Redemption itself has already been packaged and pressed, and there will basically be no major updates to the game in the future. At most, it will support player-created mods and fix malicious bugs.But to be honest, the game created by the Genesis system has very few bugs, and at most, there may be some numerical errors.However, these numerical errors are logical mistakes caused unintentionally by the producer, so there is no problem with the system itself."Okay, you play games, and I'll watch the live...""Wait, are you going to watch the livestream next to Elysia?"Did she scare Senti out of PTSD?"Then I'll watch Welt's live broadcast... But by the way, why didn't Rosalia and Lilia make a fuss today? Where's Sin?"When Bronie asked this, Senti immediately felt guilty.At this moment, Aponia also came down from upstairs."Ms. Herrscher of Sentience wants to use her power to make games, but no one plays her games, so she called Rosalia and Lilia to participate in the test.""That... hehe, I slightly overestimated the endurance of human consciousness... Who knew they could be so fragile! Didn't they shout that they had also experienced training comparable to hell?"Senti still wanted to defend herself.Training like hell?Bronie shook her head and responded, "They did have relevant combat training before, but after they had the dream of becoming idols, combat training turned into some simple self-defense training, along with singing and dancing practice. I'm afraid they've almost forgotten how to fight by now."Both children have good foundation, so there is no need to say much about their combat effectiveness. Moreover, the two children do not have the genes of a Honkai Beast, so there is no need to worry about them not growing tall."So Lilia and Rosalia couldn’t bear it after enduring nearly thirty simulated deaths and fell into a temporary coma, but fortunately, Senti still protected their consciousness. So next time, please, Ms. Herrscher of Sentience, when letting the children experience the game, don't let them suffer.""Thirty times!?"Bronie stared at the Herrscher of Sentience in amazement.The Herrscher of Sentience also knew she was in the wrong."Ahaha, didn't I see them still alive and kicking at the beginning, and even refusing to admit defeat... I know I was wrong!"Aponia rarely used her own discipline power, and Senti did not seem to resist."Okay, since Senti can realize her mistake, that's great. But please don't forget that children's consciousness is actually very fragile, and simulation is not the main focus of the entire game.""The most important thing is not the feeling of simulation, but the mechanisms in the process of breaking through the level are too realistic, and there are too many malicious intentions from the producers. After experiencing it, I admire the two little ones for being able to break through the level to that extent."So, what kind of game is it...?Bronie immediately thought of the game altF4.An outrageous game that makes countless players crash."That's right! That's the feeling! Good guy, Bronie, you also have the idea of making this kind of game! I was right about you!"Senti once again read Bronie's superficial thoughts. The picture of a guy in knight armor trying to jump and then falling to his death appeared in front of Senti, and she recognized the style of the game at a glance.Isn't it exactly the same as the game she created!It's just that Senti's game is more realistic, and it's a completely immersive gaming experience.Bronie was speechless."Shouldn't this kind of game be used by the producer to torture the players? Normally, operating through a computer is just mental and finger torture, but the realistic experience you made is a different level of torture!""So if the two kids had a particularly strong reaction the first time, I would have stopped immediately!"Okay, Rosalia and Lilia are also talented. They couldn't bear it after enduring more than 30 deaths. Maybe they died too easily, so their bodies didn't even realize they were dead."The idea of making games is good, but most games are used by players to entertain themselves. They are tired enough from work and study. If they can't relax in the game, it's hard to give them a good gaming experience.""So? Do you want to reduce the difficulty?"Senti suddenly remembered the game Getting Over It. This game is sold by its difficulty, which has left very deep memories for countless viewers and anchors."No, we can change our thinking.""Ah?""Multiplayer games, with some elements of confrontation, and then lower the difficulty of the levels. The difficult maps can be used for timing and racing. In this way, the whole game will be welcomed by most people.""It's a genius idea!"Senti slapped her thigh, as if she had realized something, and hurried to play her own game."The next team building in the Elysian Realm will be in the game created by Senti."When Bronie said this, Aponia shuddered."Bronie, if you want everyone to die, you don't have to use this method..."Yes, Aponia has also experienced Senti's game, and it seems that she hasn't passed it yet?"Don't worry, I asked Senti to lower the difficulty, so there is no need to worry about not being able to pass it, right? Besides, Kevin and Su are so noisy at ordinary times, I think we should always prepare a platform for them to challenge!"Is it because she is unhappy that Kevin still wants to implement Project  Stigma, so she did this?Although Aponia complained in her heart, she still chose to pray in the end.Pray that this bad luck will not happen to her."So where is Sin?"After saying so much, Bronie still did not see Sister Sin.After Bronie's careful education, Sin Mal's personality is not so strong and sharp. In addition, with Elysia’s careful teaching, she started wearing makeup recently."She said she went to Akihabara to buy some clay to make everyone and then give it to Bronya.""Oh? Interesting. It seems that she's quite concerned about Bronya going to St. Freya Academy... And considering that I don't want them to go to the Honkai battlefield, she never mentioned this to me?""Yes, she's always been hesitant."These children under Bronie are all very, very cute. Whenever Aponia gets along with them, she can't help but think of the children she adopted from the welfare home in the past.It's a pity that they didn't make it to the end."When Sin comes back, tell her that we will visit her mother the day after tomorrow. Remember to bring a change of clothes and don’t bring any weapons."[Chapter 250: First Visit to the Wild West]Sin Mal ran to Akihabara, but Bronie still wanted to watch the live broadcast.

This time, Bronie made a bold change to Red Dead Redemption, and as soon as the trailer was released, some people started to compare it with Horse Racing.

Well, fortunately, Bronie got a shot in advance.

Horse Racing and Red Dead Redemption are not essentially the same story, and even the overall tone of the story is different.

But different characters interpret different stories, and through different carriers, it brings different feelings to people. Welt was still very much looking forward to this game."It can be seen from the size of the game that what’s presented to us this time is less of a story and more of a world, just like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk. I think she should show us a legendary figure from that period of history. I’m very curious about how the Rabbit is going to do it."

Welt still loved history very much.

Elden Ring is an imaginary history, and the whole world is constructed grandly enough through fragmented narratives.

Cyberpunk 2077 has a sense of magical realism, but it is still a science fiction game set in the future.

To be honest, even if the capital expands to an outrageous level, Welt does not think that Night City will come to life in this world.

And this time, Bronie finally started to work with real history!

Even if this is the United States, which has a relatively weak historical foundation, Welt is still very interested.

That period of transition between barbarism and civilization, how people adapt to the changing trends of the times—just thinking about it, Welt was excited.As usual, Welt went through the back door to ask Bronie for the anchor special edition and, naturally, wanted to play the game in advance.

[I'm afraid there's a bit too much content in the game this time. Is Haxxor forcing us to upgrade our computer configuration?]

[Good guy, the icon alone has a Wild Western style.]"There’s no doubt that Haxxor has used a new lighting and shadow system this time. It’s said that it also has ray tracing, with each point having light source detection. Although we don’t know what the specific technology is, Haxxor seems to be making some new breakthroughs this time."

Welt opened the game and then found that there were story and online modes.

"Haxxor said before that the online mode is similar to Cyberpunk. You can carry out team tasks and create your own forces. However, there seem to be other new functions in it. I hope this time Haxxor can bring us some more interesting surprises. But right now, our goal is to complete the story mode!"

After taking a look at the comment section, everyone was indeed very interested in the content of the game.

Nowadays, new games are released every day on the internet, but many masterpieces, when you play the games you bought after pre-ordering, give you a feeling of being unfinished. Maybe there will be many patches later, but it also gives people a sense of insincerity. So, everyone began to keep an eye on it and watch the streamers play. If it looks good, they will choose to buy it.

Of course, the quality of Haxxor’s games is definitely beyond doubt, but it may not be liked by everyone."It seems that there’s a deep mountain and heavy snow when we start, and this time it seems to be a bit earlier than the timeline of Steel Ball Run. And with this wind and snow, this light, and the traces on the ground... It seems that Haxxor’s game-making technology has made another breakthrough?"

[What black technology is Haxxor using?]

[Don’t forget, games are life, technology is just work, Haxxor is a genius!]

[How can this be a technological breakthrough? This is the lifting of the ban on black technology!]"Ahem, don’t think too highly of Haxxor Bunny. If she’s under too much psychological pressure, maybe one day she’ll feel she can no longer break through the upper limit of the game and decide to give up making games, just like Steel Ball Run."

Welt also thinks that Steel Ball Run is truly a classic—whether it’s the battle of wits in the process, the growth of the protagonist along the way, or the intentions behind the entire story.

No wonder Bronie hesitated to link it with Red Dead Redemption.

Just from Bronie’s attitude, her evaluation of the two works says everything.

When Welt said this, the audience immediately went quiet. After all, the games made by Bronie have accompanied a generation of youth and have indeed influenced many people.

Some people even argue about which game is the pinnacle of Haxxor Bunny’s career and fight over it.

After all, even the pixel game Undertale is so impressive and unforgettable.

Each game has its own advantages, which has caused many problems for the judges who select and award games.

After all, Bronie doesn’t just make one game every year—there will be at least two 3A-level masterpieces."Let’s take a look at the plot first. This kind of picture with enlarged black borders feels like watching a movie. It seems that this time, the narrative of Haxxor Bunny is not the first-person immersion of Cyberpunk 2077, but rather aims to bring players a movie-like experience."

The picture is full of white snow, and the whole convoy is struggling to move forward in the wind and snow.

In addition to the white snow, the dark sky has a trace of kerosene lamp light guiding the way ahead. Even the horses and everyone’s faces are covered with a thick layer of ice and snow.

It seems that the entire blizzard is going to swallow them completely.

There are old people, children, women, and wounded people in the convoy.

As they cross the blizzard, the team finally finds an abandoned village, and everyone chooses to temporarily avoid the terrible snowstorm there.However, the blizzard isn’t just bad—at least it helps them escape the police’s pursuit.

Unfortunately, when everyone arrives in the abandoned village and settles down, some people can no longer hold on and close their eyes forever.There’s no time to be sad.

Dutch, the leader of the entire gang, begins to command everyone to work and transform this place into a relatively safe temporary base.

"Family—this is also the origin of many gangs. The entire big family has to do these things in order to survive. Dutch, as the backbone of the entire family, seems very experienced in these matters. It seems that our protagonist this time is a loyal helper named Arthur, who serves under Dutch."

After arranging everyone’s work, Dutch also takes Arthur out to explore the nearby environment and look for lost gang members.At this time, Welt finally got the authority to control the protagonist, Arthur."Wow, the transition of this picture is so smooth. It seems that the plot is calculated in real-time like Cyberpunk 2077, and this picture has been upgraded. The horse's footprints on the snow are so real..."Welt never thought that the game could achieve such movie-like picture quality.Full of details, and no lag, even the transition between the plot and the game is so smooth.During the teaching process, Arthur and Dutch's dialogue will also carry many main plots.Including what they did before, why they were so fiercely hunted, or why someone fell behind."Although we are not familiar with each character, we can understand the relationship between the characters through dialogue. For example, Dutch seems to trust our protagonist Arthur very much. It can be seen that Arthur should be the most powerful gunman around Dutch and the backbone of the entire gang."[The most powerful? Are you the famous V?][Okay, this family can't survive without Arthur, right!]

[This picture is a bit real, so the story of the wild horse racing also happened in this background?]"Yes, the story of the wild horse racing also has a lot of details about that time, and in Red Dead Redemption, we can also experience that kind of life by riding horses in person. According to what the rabbit said, there seems to be a horse racing competition here."Arthur met up with the teammate who went to explore the road ahead. The teammate who went to explore the road ahead said that there seemed to be a village ahead.Although the players were told at the beginning that the gang Arthur belonged to was a desperate gang and that they had done all kinds of things such as burning, killing, and looting, Dutch's gang still had a certain bottom line.So when they went to that village, they still tried their best not to cause panic among the people there but just wanted to seek some help from the residents in that village, even if it was in exchange for a little money or something else."It can be seen that in this world where guns may be taken out at any time, Dutch and Arthur's group still seem to be very principled. I hope they can keep this principle forever."[Damn, straight with an opening like this, right?]

[Prophet? The Werewolf comes straight to the knife! There really is a prophet here!]A principled robber—this sounds really romantic, but according to Bronie's previous habits, Welt's speculation seems to be true.After all, it can be seen that Dutch is very polite to this stranger, and he is also worried that he will scare the other party because he looks a bit fierce.However, even if this family encounters a principled robber like Arthur, they are not so lucky.Because a gang hostile to Dutch has already taken the lead, and they will not be as polite as Dutch and Arthur.The man was killed, the money was taken away, and only one woman was left, who experienced very bad violence.If it weren't for Arthur's partner, Micah, who discovered the bodies around the house in advance, I'm afraid Arthur would not have realized that these people were robbers.By combining the plot with the novice tutorial, under the control of Welt, Arthur and Dutch eliminated all the robbers logically, leaving one alive and learning the true identity of the other party through torture.These robbers, without bottom lines and principles, are the subordinates of a gang that is the enemy of the gang controlled by Dutch.After meeting such a guy, Dutch was obviously very excited. After all, there are not many opportunities for revenge. Dutch is willing to seize every opportunity to attack the enemy gang and eliminate the people of the enemy gang without hesitation.Besides, the other party also has a plan to rob a train. They can completely grab this plan and make the gang’s originally limited funds abundant. In this way, even if they leave the snow mountain, they will have the capital to develop.The Dutch gang has a lot of people, so the daily consumption is not small, whether it is food, clothing, or daily necessities.As for the normal life of making money?What they advocate is freedom and unfetteredness. They have always made money through robbery, and occasionally, there will be some deeds of robbing the rich to help the poor. Such a life is very beautiful and chic. Whenever something bad happens, they always miss that life.And they keep telling themselves that such a life will come back.After all, they have developed from nothing to such a big family now.Arthur always believes in Dutch, and Dutch always believes in the whole gang.It's like a huge family, each doing what they are good at, and then closely connected with each other."It's quite interesting. This gang feels very real, and the experience of robbing a train is probably only experienced in this game. How can a modern train be chased by a horse?"It is obviously a prologue, and it is basically teaching content, but it is perfectly combined with the plot. The functions are unlocked step by step, but it does not bring any sense of restraint or lack of freedom to the players.From game operation, plot selection, some special mechanisms, and eating rules, there are more functions that need to be unlocked through the main plot in the future, teaching players how to survive in such a world step by step."Eating, cleaning, and even hidden disease systems and horse care systems are obviously very complicated, but through the combination of game plots, players can quickly get started. There are also hunting, debt collection, card table content, and the most classic Western showdown content in the future. These are vaguely telling players... Compared with the chip learning teaching method in Cyberpunk 2077, this kind of teaching is really smooth..."Welt had to admit that Bronie really seemed to have created a new world, and Arthur and Arthur's gang members lived on this unrestrained, free continent.No matter what you do, you don't have to worry about being tracked down. If you meet a passerby who needs help on the roadside, you can choose to help or add insult to injury based on your own wishes.Although there is such a thing as good and evil value, Welt actually feels that the so-called good and evil value does not have a big impact.[By the way, have all the recipes been carefully considered?]

[What? You want to try the original Western-style salted beef offal? It sounds wrong, okay!]

[You know what, the taste is absolutely authentic! Someone will definitely try it!]

[I can already smell the beef in my mouth. Was the food in the West really that casual back then?]"Hahaha, in that era, especially for bandits like Arthur, they had limited conditions around them and usually made meat into jerky or directly bought canned food to make stews. If the situation was urgent, they would eat canned food or jerky to temporarily relieve hunger.Besides, this kind of makeshift food is used for emergency purposes. After all, Arthur and his gang are in a very difficult situation now!But if I were here, the gang would definitely be revived. I just don't know if it can cope with the trend of the times, whether it is a complete transformation or being eliminated by the times..."In fact, even if you buy Red Dead Redemption 2 for more than 200 yuan, it is definitely not a loss. Both the online mode and the story mode are worth experiencing.Not to mention the good details in various places, the game plot also tells a very good story.It's not bad to treat it as watching a super long movie.
