[Chapter 261: Old Yang Wants to Clean Up Anti-Entropy]The world has once again returned to peace, and Otto is the only one who was hurt.However, Otto thought for a long time and felt that he really didn’t lose much. Bronie didn’t hinder his plan and even let Kiana walk around in areas filled with high concentration of Honkai energy.How to say it—it’s like she played a joke on yourself, and when you come to your senses, you realize you’ve gained a lot from it, but you can’t get angry.So this is the power of the Masked Fools?Are all the people that Aha in the universe pays attention this kind of people?Otto was depressed for a long time and finally let Bronie go for the time being.Schicksal had gained a lot, and there was not much loss. Even if Hyperion lost a little fuel, it was insignificant.At most, he could give his good granddaughter more money. After all, practical experience against the Honkai is really rare.Most of the Valkyries who haven’t yet completed their studies on the battlefield will usually die there. If they don’t die, they will be disabled.It could be said that with Bronie’s help, the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy safely experienced the feeling of being on a real battlefield, and after that, they would completely abandon their naivety and become truly powerful Valkyries.At this point, it was better to teach honestly at the school, occasionally pay attention to Kiana, instill some positive energy in her, and then play games in the bishop’s office.But Otto still couldn’t swallow this feeling of defeat from Bronie.Bronie was too good at messing up his mentality. Otto had asked for the reason, but Bronie’s answer was simply some trivial things he had done before.Obviously, those things had nothing to do with Bronie—justice or something. You see, Edison and the First Herrscher have not expressed any opinions so far.However, regarding the improvement of the treatment of the Valkyries, Otto still listened carefully to Bronie’s suggestions and, by the way, started addressing the problems with the side effects of artificial stigmata. He had begun to gradually solve these issues.In less than half a year, there would probably be no problem of artificial stigmata damaging the Valkyries’ lifespan, right?Otto still couldn’t swallow this feeling of loss, and he would have to retaliate one day.Let’s start with Kiana?As Medea, should she take Kiana to see the darkness of the world or something?...[Haxxor Bunny: The large-scale DLC of The Legend of Zelda is being made. When the poor Princess Zelda is kidnapped again, she needs everyone to save her! With new powers, drastically changed maps, and a city that needs to be rebuilt, what kind of adventure will Link experience?]Bronie released a new update right away, announcing the general direction of her next work.In fact, whether it was Steel Ball Run or Red Dead, the popularity of these two works had not declined. Some streamers even went to the trouble of reproducing the meals in the game, wanting to witness what food made from the recipes of that era tasted like.The internet was bustling with new stuff being created every day, and countless players were sharing their interesting experiences in the game.However, Bronie never stopped at these things but gave a preview of her next work in the process of training and learning.....At this time, just as Welt dealt with the body of the clone, his phone gave a prompt."It’s actually the DLC of The Legend of Zelda!? The DLC of Bloodborne opened up a new map and gave a huge amount of content, and the DLC of Civilization also introduced new game rules and civilizations. This time, The Legend of Zelda must be something special!"“...Everything is in hand, but we are in the state of infiltration now, right? Why didn’t you turn off the notifications on your phone?”Einstein naturally heard the sound of Welt’s phone in the grove of the dormitory at St. Freya Academy and saw that Welt had actually taken out his phone to check it.Sensing Einstein’s gaze, Welt awkwardly put his phone away."Sorry, I forgot to mute the sound. The clones have been cleaned up. Should we do a big cleanup inside Anti-Entropy? We’ve been compromising for the sake of interests and development before, but Bronie is right. The radicals completely deviated from the path we originally wanted to take."In the beginning, Anti-Entropy was dissatisfied with Schicksal’s behavior of taking human lives lightly, so they rebelled against him.After that, Anti-Entropy also put people first, refusing to let humans sacrifice themselves to the Honkai. They continued to develop Titan robots and various technologies to fight against the Honkai.It’s a pity that, in the process of development, it was inevitable to compromise on some things, and this subtle change was the result of decades of changes.Now that the cloned First Herrscher had appeared, it proved that Anti-Entropy had reached the point where it must make some changes.Or, one might say, clean up.Sensing the murderous intent in Welt’s eyes, Einstein hesitated slightly."Do we really want to do it?""Let me be frank! We should have killed all those beasts who are not human long ago! We’re busy in the front, and they enjoy the results in the back instantly while using those things to deal with their own people. Has the Honkai been solved? No! They think about how to go against Schicksal and how to gain eternal life all day long..."Tesla had long been unhappy with the radicals, and Einstein immediately thought of what Bronie had said before about Cocolia.Obviously, they entered the market with various relationships and funds, but some of them had already started human experiments behind the scenes.After so many years, Anti-Entropy had naturally developed a lot of armed forces, but they were not completely loyal to Anti-Entropy. Even behind those they were loyal to, they had long been eyeing the power of the Honkai and the Herrscher.However, there was no safety awareness at all. Those things were a mess. If they accidentally caused an eruption, countless people would die, and they would perish too, leaving a mess behind.In the end, it would still be one of the members of Anti-Entropy who would be responsible.When Tesla thought of this, she was furious.As the saying goes, those who drown are the ones who know how to swim, and those who have accidents are the ones who think they won’t have accidents.No matter how good the safety measures are, there will always be omissions. Greed drives these people to try to contact powerful forces they don’t understand. In the end, a strong Honkai will break out due to various accidents, contributing to the destruction of human civilization.Tesla had emphasized this every time, but everyone had always turned a deaf ear to it, thinking that this so-called warning was just an excuse to get ahead and study the Honkai faster.After all, Tesla, Einstein, and Welt are prime examples, targets of longevity."If you're determined, then I’ll support you, but have you thought about how to handle the assets they leave behind and the troubles that come with it after we kill them?" Einstein asked."We can certainly control part of it. As for Bronie and her sister Bronya... what kind of people do you think they are?"Welt's meaning was very clear. There must be an organization behind Bronie, and it’s an organization that has persisted from the previous era to the present.However, the philosophy of this organization may not fully align with Bronie’s, particularly regarding their attitude toward the Stigmata passed down from the previous era to every body of the current civilization. Therefore, based on Welt's judgment, Bronie might be interested in those things, and she could extract something more useful from her.Mutual benefit.Hearing Welt’s perspective, Tesla pondered for a while."It's quite satisfying to see Otto dress up as a woman and perform like a clown in Chiyou’s body, but honestly, I think Bronie is a very dangerous person. Although she has a clear goal, she always gives off a very unreliable vibe, as if...""As if she doesn’t really take the Honkai seriously, right?""Exactly! You get it, Mophead! Making games isn’t just about making money—it’s about making everyone have fun. Dealing with the Honkai seems like it’s just a side gig for her. There were no signs at all, and then, suddenly, something big like Nagazora City happens. They knew about Chiyou’s existence but didn’t deal with it earlier, instead waiting until things escalated."Tesla couldn’t understand the reasoning behind Bronie’s actions.Was it just for fun? Was it really necessary? Wasn’t it troublesome?"Maybe she’s a Pathstrider. She’s long been on the Path of Elation. After being watched by the Aeon, she gained something unexpected. Plus, every game she releases is excellent—very educational and inspiring—and her philosophical insights are also profound.""In fact, the amount of resources spent on transforming Chiyou did achieve the effect of training, right? I think Bronie might be training her abilities—abilities similar to those of the Herrscher of Reason."Einstein thought more deeply, reflecting on what Bronie had gained in the end.Ultimately, she saw that the Valkyries at St. Freya Academy had gained a lot of combat experience, and this experience would be invaluable for them to survive on the battlefield of the Honkai.Compared to the radicals in Anti-Entropy, Bronie’s actions aligned more closely with the original policy of Anti-Entropy."Although there are many misunderstandings, many people have indeed been saved by her, and many children really like Bronie. I think she should be considered a good person, right?" Tesla spoke, expressing the confusion in her heart. Especially when Bronie spoke in riddles, her irritating posture almost made Tesla want to curse outright.Fortunately, as a rational scientist, Tesla was able to think about all of Bronie’s actions. To be honest, she really couldn’t say Bronie was a bad person.Although Bronie was strange and possibly dangerous, she had hardly done anything truly bad.On the contrary, as she said, she brought smiles to everyone."After all, things aren’t given for free; they’re traded. We can use moral persuasion a little, too. You know, if no leader steps up at that time, it will definitely be a mess, although this is not something we want to let happen.""Moral persuasion... Huh... Although it feels a bit unfair to Bronie, I don’t think she’ll refuse, right? If she does, we’ll have to ask Theresa. If Theresa can’t handle it, we’ll have to pay a bigger price and get Raiden Ryoma involved. He can handle the assets."Welt didn’t like moral persuasion, but cleaning up inside Anti-Entropy was bound to involve bloodshed. Greedy capital had deeply infiltrated Anti-Entropy, and to remove this poison, they’d have to endure pain.So, he offered a new suggestion, but they could still use moral persuasion to intimidate Bronie a little."Then we’ll go with that approach. But Welt, what happened with your phone earlier?"Einstein didn’t let go of the mobile phone issue.Welt smiled awkwardly and responded, "Actually, Bronie released new news again. She said she’s going to make a DLC for The Legend of Zelda. It’s said there will be new abilities, and Zelda will be captured again.""It seems you really like The Legend of Zelda...""Yes, there are so many games, but The Legend of Zelda brings the purest happiness to players. I really enjoy games like that, but is it appropriate to talk about this here at St. Freya Academy?"Welt suddenly remembered they were still in the grove at St. Freya Academy. Although Theresa was being stopped by Siegfried right now, she wouldn’t be kept in check for too long."Okay, after leaving the Far East, we’ll explore the Sea of Quanta. Bronie said it’s possible to use the power of the sea to fight against the Cocoon of Finality. It’s said that the civilization that once existed on Venus seized that last opportunity and escaped Finality's pursuit. After we leave the Sea of Quanta, we can play games properly again."Einstein said this, and Tesla became even more interested in The Legend of Zelda."That’s true. We did get the final key to the Sea of Quanta. I didn’t expect that old dwarf Theresa had  this treasure but didn’t know about it—or maybe she didn’t intend to decipher the information inside?""Maybe she thinks that the powerful AI, Ai-chan, is the real treasure inside... By the way, has Theresa provoked you lately? Why do you say that about her?""Maybe it’s because her trial work was smashed by Theresa in just a few swipes?""Hey! My work was perfect! It’s just that old dwarf is too violent!"To cover for everyone, Tesla had to have Titan teleport over to delay Theresa, but she didn’t expect Theresa to be even more powerful than before!Welt felt the explosion drawing nearer and sighed helplessly."Well, it’s getting late. Let’s leave St. Freya Academy quickly. Theresa’s Hyperion is under maintenance, so we can quickly leave."Chapter 262: Countless More Insomniac Players TonightThe Chiyou incident was essentially resolved, but the people from Anti-Entropy suddenly broke into St. Freya Academy and turned the basement under the dean's office upside down!Being able to accurately grasp the patrol route inside St. Freya Academy and directly control the Valkyries through tough means could only be done with an insider’s help.What were the results of the investigation?As expected, Mr. Welt suddenly disappeared from the school, and even Theresa knew that the insider was him.After retrieving his file, Theresa felt that the ID photo was somewhat familiar.Wasn’t this Welt an old friend from the Second Eruption?As for why she didn’t recognize him earlier?Maybe it was the change in temperament brought on by the glasses?Theresa couldn’t say for sure, and she felt even more guilty.There was no other way, so they could only admit that there was indeed a spy from Anti-Entropy at St. Freya Academy. Fortunately, except for one dormitory, the entire academy didn’t suffer any major losses.Even if the broken Titans were picked up and sold as scrap metal, a lot of blood could be recovered.As for what Anti-Entropy had done in the school, Theresa didn’t know. She only knew that while she was giving Kiana special treatment and using the Memorial Arena, Siegfried broke in.The two of them fought fiercely, and no one knew why Kiana suddenly used a strange power that was from the Second Herrscher.Siegfried was shocked and immediately ran away. He subconsciously thought that his face had triggered Siren in Kiana’s body, while Theresa was completely confused.Later, an alarm rang at St. Freya Academy, and Theresa realized that Anti-Entropy had dared to stroke her tiger's beard!Theresa led Jusah to charge, but when they arrived at the dormitory, they only found a mess and Mei’s barefoot, emo sister.As for Bronya?Bronya helped old man Yang deal with the clone’s body. She knew that destroying a clone, especially doing so in front of Mei, would cause Mei a lot of psychological trauma.Therefore, Bronya felt that she should give Mei some private space."Bronya, is this incident related to Bronie?"Himeko looked at the mess in the dormitory tiredly.This dormitory was actually partly funded by her when it was built!She had done it to make her living situation more comfortable and to feel at home, instead of living in a cold, small dormitory every day without any contact with others.What was the result?It was destroyed directly, and in a very strange state.There were no flames, no traces of explosions, only a massive rubble from top to bottom.So what exactly happened?Himeko subconsciously thought that this might be related to Bronie."Sister Bronie is preparing to make a new game. I think if Sister Bronie wanted to find something in St. Freya Academy, she wouldn’t want to attract attention. After all, Sister Bronie doesn’t think it's elegant to make a big fuss while searching for something as a hacker."As she said that, Bronya took out her mobile phone and showed the dynamics Bronie had posted before. It seemed that it happened not long after the Anti-Entropy invasion.Needless to say, Bronie must have been thinking about making a game, so how could she have the time or intention to invade St. Freya Academy?"Sorry, I just saw Bronie doing a lot of things recently, so I subconsciously...""The Masked Fool will be affected by similar stereotypes in the universe. Sister Bronie had a mask a long time ago, but she hasn’t carried it with her recently.""Does the Aeon... really exist?""It’s amazing, right?"Bronya felt like she wanted to show off.Sister Bronie was watched by the Aeon. Even though this wasn’t what Bronie expected, for mortals, being able to contact a being similar to a God is something almost impossible to encounter in a lifetime."Forget it, this is probably not something I can think about. Will there be a DLC for The Legend of Zelda? Bronie has never made DLC for the game, right? If she wanted to make one, she would just release it directly..."Himeko was still quite surprised to see that Bronie was planning to make a sequel. After all, even people like Himeko who don't surf the internet very intensively knew that Bronie didn’t like making sequels.Today was so unusual—was it because The Legend of Zelda was more popular?"Sister Bronie used to be like this, but it’s not a matter of like or dislike. Making a sequel depends entirely on her mood. Sometimes Sister Bronie feels that it doesn’t matter whether to make a sequel or not. After all, the imagined sequel is always better."The plot of The Legend of Zelda itself is quite simple and rough—it’s a story about a knight saving a princess.The core selling point of the game is the gameplay, the way it is played. After having new ideas, it makes sense to release a sequel.Besides, Bronie isn’t really planning to release a sequel but DLC—that is, additional content.Though you still have to pay for it, it will definitely be cheaper than the original."I’m really looking forward to it. As for The Legend of Zelda, many children in the school like it very much. Also, Link is handsome, Zelda is very beautiful, and each character has a distinct personality. The overall game can be both very easy or challenging."Most of the game content is soft guidance. When you meet an NPC on the roadside, they will always talk about what will happen in the conversation and suggest where Link should go.If you follow the advice, the strength of the monsters along the way will gradually increase, and the equipment players can obtain will become more powerful.It’s a very easy route.But players can also move forward without following the NPC's advice, and Bronie seems to have thought of everything the player may do, so in the corresponding NPC dialogue, it will also change depending on specific conditions.Many details in the game show the producer’s intentions, and Link’s skills can greatly bring out the creativity of the player.So Himeko also likes games like this.Although she is quite busy, Himeko still chooses to go to the bar less often and spend more time on the game. After all, Haxxor's products must be of high quality."If there's an online mode, it might be more interesting... Bronya will consider proposing this to Sister Bronie. When that happens, Bronya wants to play with Instructor Himeko.""It sounds interesting, but don’t forget your usual studies. If you neglect your studies because of the game, it won’t be fun.""Well! Bronya’s brain is not like Kiana which is single-threaded. If it's just cultural learning, Instructor Himeko doesn’t need to worry about Bronya at all."Still......."An online mode..."Bronie thought about the impact of adding an online mode to The Legend of Zelda.From the beginning, Bronie didn't want to include an online mode. After all, there is only one Link, and doing the main quest online would be awkward. It's like the Ada chapter in Resident Evil 6 that Bronie remembered. Ada is a single-player character, but because the game needed a two-player mode, the character of Death Hank was added to Ada's side. When Ada used the hook to traverse some special terrain, Death Hank teleported directly to Ada.No matter what Death Hank was doing, this sense of incongruity could easily ruin the player's gaming experience. Bronie thought that adding characters rashly would affect many things.But this was Bronya's request!No matter what, Bronie wanted to fulfill Bronya’s wish.So Bronie turned to King Rauru.That’s right, the first king of Hyrule. The person who accompanied Link in the form of a soul, giving him strength and aid.In multiplayer mode, the special powers are awakened to gain entities that help Link and accompany him through difficulties.In other words, it supports two-player online play at most. If there are more people, Link’s importance will be diluted, which isn’t ideal.For a game with a high degree of freedom and online play, Bronie suggested playing Minecraft. After all, the official server still has an unregulated free survival area, where various faction wars have been ongoing for a long time, and Bronie sometimes finds it quite amusing.In this kind of chaotic world, isn’t it exciting enough to play like it?After confirming the online content, Bronie began developing the game. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is still set in the Hyrule continent that Link saved. However, after Link successfully defeated Ganon, people from all over the Hyrule Kingdom began rebuilding.Ganon brought great pain to the world, but people lived strongly until Link woke up hundreds of years later.Just when everyone thought good days were ahead and the future was bright, the entire Hyrule continent experienced a bizarre change.The ground flew toward the sky, and a huge hole appeared underground. Ganon’s power began to pollute the land, and countless monsters became more aggressive!Princess Zelda disappeared in front of Link after encountering a strange mummy while exploring the underground of Hyrule Castle.The original Link was also eroded by evil spirits and lost most of his power."Hyrule is really full of disasters. Link and Zelda are really unlucky~"Watching Bronie make the game, Senti learned from her.As for game-making, of course, she had to learn from Bronie!Thus, Bronie made a sequel to The Legend of Zelda and came up with a plot like this."It’s a very royal development. Everyone will like it a lot. Though it’s a bit old-fashioned, it’s definitely useful. Let Link start over; it’s all to introduce more interesting content.""Ultrahand? Why does this look like an unlimited magnet?""After all, the magnet function must be retained, but this is definitely not just a simple magnet. It’s the core content of the entire gameplay."Saying this, Bronie swiped out a list full of the names and functions of the Zonai devices."By gluing different objects together and then building a tool that is useful in the minds of players, if the first game was about measuring the earth with the players' feet, this one is about letting players change the world with their creativity.""Put together tools to change the world? Hahaha! Interesting! This is really interesting! I’ve always felt that walking around slowly is too boring, but this aircraft is useful!"Watching Bronie use the Ultrahand to glue the fan and the console together to make a simple aircraft, Senti immediately understood everything about the joy of the game.And the excitement the Ultrahand brings to players!Yes, it’s excitement!Compared to Breath of the Wild, the improvement the Ultrahand brings to Link is huge. No matter the mountain or hill, everything can be easily conquered with the flying machine he assembles.In addition, the unique space in the sky and underground seamlessly connects to the slightly changed Hyrule continent. It seems to weaken players at the start, but the Ultrahand gives players a sense that they’re stronger than the previous Link!And it will only get stronger in the future!This player psychology is firmly grasped, and Senti realized this. She sighed that Bronie is truly a genius among geniuses at making games."Then there’s the Ascend ability, which lets you pass through the ceiling above and move to the surface.""My goodness, how do you come up with something like that?""Next is Fuse, which allows you to combine an item with a weapon or shield to make a new weapon. The new weapon has the characteristics of the item and can also help players solve some special puzzles.""When will it be ready? I can’t wait!"Senti’s reaction was a little beyond Bronie’s expectations. Perhaps the Herrscher of Knowledge has a strong associative ability, so she suddenly thought of a lot of fun content in her mind?"Don’t worry, there’s one last ability: Recall. This ability makes a specified object move backward along its trajectory until it returns to its original position. Link can use this ability to reach some hard-to-reach areas! With these four skills, Link will embark on a new adventure across the Hyrule continent. The sky, the earth, the ocean, and everything else are waiting for Link to explore alone!"Then Bronie posted this on her social media account.And on this day, countless insomniac players appeared all over the world.They eagerly awaited the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.[Chapter 263: New Game Tears of the Kingdom]While introducing the game to Senti, Bronie also uploaded the trailer and promotional video.However, the content is only on the novice Sky Island, though it also contains the core elements of the entire game.Splice, create, and then embark on an adventure again!his time, the exploration is no longer limited to the land of Hyrule, but extends to the sky and underground. Although the underground is pitch black, Bronie always felt that it was too spacious when she played it before, but the current Legend of Zelda is from Bronie's own hands.So, some interesting content has been added to the underground, such as dungeons.The game's production didn’t take much time. After all, the map of Tears of the Kingdom is based on a transformed  Breath of the Wild, so there was no need to rethink the terrain. The biggest workload involved the five boss stages, the final boss stage, and the terrain issues concerning the underground and Sky Island. Many previous data sets could be reused, even the player’s archives, but the equipment, of course, had to be started over.However, there is still an explanation for the plot in the game: all the existing weapons that can be used have been corroded and decayed by evil spirits, and the original weapons are no longer effective.To obtain more powerful weapons, players must combine them with their own hands.Through creativity, wisdom, and imagination, players use everything they can find to deal with the powerful demon king!Does it make your blood boil? Players just think about it casually and are immediately drawn in.There are so many games to play, and the Apex season is about to end, meaning everyone should go grinding. Additionally, there are still many things to do in Red Dead Redemption. But after seeing the promotional video released by Bronie, all the players temporarily stopped the game they were playing and focused their attention on The Legend of Zelda.Yes, The Legend of Zelda is a game that all players can remember in their hearts and never forget.Even though there was a six-year gap between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, it felt like no time had passed to Bronie!Yes! It went by quickly. Bronie felt that The Legend of Zelda was already perfect enough, and she couldn't imagine any more groundbreaking content in the future.Even if there was a sequel, it would still follow the old-fashioned hero-saving-the-princess narrative, with sword fights.Making a breakthrough would take at least years of careful polishing and a technical breakthrough in the game console!To be honest, the Switch back then was really hard to describe.With such configuration, it was only thanks to excellent game optimization that it could run Breath of the Wild. But the refresh rate was locked at 30 fps, and there were frame drops in areas with a lot of grass, which greatly affected the player experience.A significant compromise was also made in picture quality, which led Bronie to feel that it would take a long time to make a sequel.But Nintendo didn’t play by the rules. When the game console had no technical breakthroughs, it released this new Zelda game.The early optimization was also hard to describe, especially when leaving the novice island and arriving at the first tutorial. The frame rate dropped to 10 or even 8 frames instantly, and the game was stuck in a PPT-like state.The experience was truly awful for Bronie at that time, making her very unhappy.With this frustration in mind, Bronie made the game while suddenly concerned about optimization. Even with AI helping with optimization, Bronie sent the game to the game console for repeated testing.Various stress tests were conducted. After all, in the original Tears of the Kingdom, the Ultrahand could only connect to 21 items at most, regardless of size or Zonai functionality. This was a compromise strategy brought about by the limited game console back then.It’s a pity that there is no compromise in the game on Bronie’s side!However, this decision brought Bronie a lot of trouble. After all, the performance of the game console is indeed limited, but if the game were ported to a computer, there would be no reason to sell the game console.Therefore, in terms of both the game console’s performance and game content, Bronie had to make many trade-offs to avoid the entire machine exploding due to the Ultrahand connecting too many things.Finally, after Bronie's testing, the game console's performance limit supports about 50 Zonais working together. Any more would severely affect the game experience, so Bronie ultimately had to compromise by limiting the bonding to a maximum of 40. Extra computing space had to be allocated to other areas to avoid lag during boss battles or other extreme situations, which could affect the game experience.It can only be said that the game console’s performance was a little conservative when it was designed, but it was still much more powerful than various computers of that era.In the future, Bronie might consider upgrading the configuration of the game console, and even directly projecting things like Pokémon with ether editing technology so that everyone can play Pokémon in reality together. But that’s all in the future.By the way, in the future, Bronie may also consider solving the limitations of the Tears of the Kingdom's Ultrahand.After the final test, the game was packaged into the physical copies and pre-sold in stores. The online sales channels became very popular, and Bronya even went to the St. Freya Academy store to find the game cartridges that had been delivered.However, Bronie felt something was strange."Strange...""Eh? Strange? What’s strange about me? Bronie, don’t talk nonsense! If you say something strange about me, I’ll cry for you~"Today, Elysia tried to wear a backless sweater in front of her. This strange sweater perfectly showcased Ellie's figure, and it also left something to the imagination. Those hemispheres tried attracting her attention.But in the end, Bronie’s answer was strange.This almost made Elysia cry."No, I’m not talking about you. I’m just talking about Welt. You see, he hasn’t opened a livestream for a long time. And generally speaking, once I release the game, Welt will always try to sneak in and play in the live broadcast room in advance."Immediately, Ellie pouted her mouth and was very dissatisfied with her answer."It was you who asked me to try these clothes, but you actually thought about other people in front of me! No, no, I’m going to punish you!""Punishment? What punishment?"Bronie immediately got excited.However, the result was disappointing as Elysia just opened her wardrobe.The wardrobe Bronie had prepared for Elysia was very large and could hold a lot of clothes. If she changed into a new outfit every day, it would take about half a year to go through all of them.The wardrobe was connected to the next room, which was filled with Elysia's clothes in various styles.Although Bronie's usual suggestion was for her to find her directly so she could project a set of clothes for her, Elysia always felt that using her ability lacked soul."Of course it's this pink dress! After Bronya and Sin left, there's no more beautiful girl dress day!"To get Sin Mal to accept wearing a little skirt, Bronie had suggested that everyone wear little skirts together on one day each month. Any style was fine, and everyone could design their own.Later, Sirin in Kiana’s body liked to design clothes and occasionally sent various concept drawings she had designed."Although I don't mind wearing a little skirt... but where did you get the costume of the magical girl Teriri?"When Bronie saw the costume, she immediately thought of Theresa."Damn, you actually let me wear this kind of costume!"Bronie subconsciously rejected it, but Elysia grabbed ber ankle and gently took off her pantyhose."Hey, the audience in the livestream is really enthusiastic, so I changed into this cute magical girl costume~ If you want Madoka...""Madoka's is fine too!""I won't give it to you! I told you it's just a small punishment!"Knowing that she couldn't escape, Bronie reluctantly cooperated, taking off ber clothes and putting on the skirt.But then, Bronie frowned."What's wrong?"Elysia noticed that Bronie froze."My chest is so tight, and why do I feel like my waist is thinner than yours? Did you eat too many sweets and gain weight? This is not the Elysian Realm where your body can change according to your eating habits."Hearing Bronie's words, Ellie blushed, and her little hands began to touch Bronie restlessly."I'm not fat! What's wrong with girls liking to eat sweets? I can just put them in another stomach, and I won’t get fat!""Okay, okay! You didn't get fat, I got fat, I got fat!"Bronie surrendered again and again. After years of being together, Elysia knew every sensitive part of her body.It was fine to touch the ticklish parts herself, but she couldn’t help it when others touched them, especially Ellie."Hmph, remember what you said: Elysia won’t get fat! Now, put on stockings and stand up to wear this."It was a pair of bunny ears.Originally, the magical girl Teriri was a cute girl, but Elysia naturally improved her figure in order to wear this costume.Wearing it on Bronie, it could only be said to barely fit. Bronie felt that the chest was constricted by the halter neck, and if she e moved around, it might strangle her.Putting on stockings, wearing bunny ears, and looking at herself in the mirror, Bronie once again recalled her idol sister in Tiankong City."Wow, magical girl Teriri is the cutest in the world, I'll take off, I caught you☆~""Wow! You are quite smart! Damn, I thought it would have a little punishment effect after wearing such embarrassing clothes...""Since I can't resist, I'll enjoy it to the end. Life is like this, and this novel experience is quite interesting. It's good that you didn't make me wear a latex suit that bulges when I fart.""Is there a thing like that? Latex clothes... Although they show the figure, they do make people feel like they're wearing nothing, which makes people shy. I've decided that you'll wear those clothes next time!""Let's not talk about clothes for now! Let's save Princess Zelda together!"As she said this, Bronie took out the game console and connected it to the TV screen in the room.She also took out two game controllers."Bronya asked me to make an online mode, so I made the map a little bolder. However, since it was a temporary two-player mode, I didn't do any two-player puzzle solving.""Eh? But wasn't Zelda captured? Who does the other player control?"Elysia still thought the other player would control Zelda.Bronie shook her head and responded, "It's Rauru, the first king of the Kingdom of Hyrule. He exists as a spirit, but with the help of the Triforce, he has gained a nearly physical state and accompanies Link as a comrade. At least Link is not so lonely, right?""Link in Breath of the Wild is indeed quite lonely."Rescuing the four mythical beasts, the former partners are by Link's side as spirits, but they hardly accompany him on all his journeys, almost as if to say that heroes should indeed be lonely.Is this good?This does make Link appear as a great hero, standing tall and proud, which adds some excitement for the players.But Elysia thinks Link is indeed a little pitiful."So I took this into consideration and also prepared four sages to accompany Link. The friendship gradually deepens with Link's efforts, and the bond leads Link forward to overcome difficulties. Isn't this a very classic and interesting story?"Although the clothes on Bronie's body were a bit strange, as long as she focused enough on the game, it wouldn't be a problem.Bronie handed the controller to Ellie."Of course it’s a very classic and interesting story! But how did you come up with the ability that feels like playing with building blocks? It looks very interesting just to watch!""It was made because I thought it was interesting!"The game opens, and the prologue begins with Princess Zelda starting archaeology to find out why Ganon has such power.The full-powered Link followed Zelda, and the second player cannot appear yet due to the plot."They are together, right?""The strongest swordsman and a powerful saint finally meet after a hundred years of suffering, why wouldn’t they get together?""It's a pity, if you could play with two players from the beginning, it would be great. This mode doesn't count as participating in the plot at all, and there's not much cooperation, right?""Cooperation, plot, and two players?"When Bronie heard Elysia’s question, she immediately came up with many ideas for two-player games."Yes! After all, shouldn’t lovers play these kinds of two player games?""Give me two weeks, and I’ll make it for you!""You have an idea so soon?!""Because it’s what Elysia wants~"Chapter 264: Reproductive Worship is Common to All CivilizationsAlthough he had the idea of making a game, it was game time now, so Bronie wouldn’t abandon Elysia and focus solely on game development.Welt didn’t open the live broadcast room. After the game was released, the internet was buzzing with excitement. But unfortunately, Welt’s live broadcast room which had always been dedicated to player feedback was not opened this time.Countless viewers were curious: Why had Welt changed his usual routine?You see, whenever Bronie released a new game, Welt would always get it first and broadcast it in advance.But this time, something went wrong.If Welt hadn’t posted an update saying that the game wouldn’t be broadcasted, some viewers might have even called the police, thinking Welt had gone missing.After all, Welt really loved games, especially those released by Haxxor Bunny Studios. If there were no new releases, he’d always play Titanfall, even the pure Titan combat mode.A vast world, flexible abilities, and the Zonai device with very interesting functions. Tears of the Kingdom brought players the same joy as when they were kids, building walls with blocks. Overall, if full marks were 10, Bronie’s Tears of the Kingdom would easily score 100!The island in the sky, the dark underground, and the vast continent are all connected by devices made by Link’s Ultrahand. With the five sages accompanying Link, he no longer fights alone. The residents of Hyrule are no weaklings, and many form teams to attack monster-occupied areas. However, their battles are tough, and sometimes they need Link’s help to minimize sacrifices.Countless small tasks, adventures, and puzzles bring players a new and refreshing experience.When someone asks, "What’s fun about Tears of the Kingdom?" Most players pause for a moment before answering, "Everything is fun!"It can be said that The Legend of Zelda is synonymous with fun. The only minor flaw is that Zonai can only connect 40 items. However, players rarely reach that limit because building large devices and achieving precise connections is energy-intensive.For regular players, two fans and a joystick can function as all-terrain multi-purpose vehicles. The rest only requires considering mining, adding mobile light sources, and transporting Yahaha.Yes, even in Tears of the Kingdom, there are still countless Yahaha waiting for Link to find—some even need to be carried.There are 999 of them across the entire map. If you collect them all and use them for equipment expansion, you’ll have more. However, unless you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, Bronie generally doesn’t recommend collecting all of them.After a day of playing, Elysia and Bronie were instantly hooked. Bronie was responsible for preparing powerful Zonai devices, while Elysia explored every corner of the land. As for resources, Link and Rauru naturally shared them. This meant that if two people played together, they would get double the resources.However, the game’s save file would record the contents of Rauru’s backpack. So, when one Rauru player left the world and a new one entered, the backpack’s contents would remain unchanged.Naturally, Bronie blocked the way to farm resources through Rauru.However, Bronie didn’t completely block the ability to cheat. In most stand-alone games, she didn’t create anti-cheating programs, but instead had cheating detection.When someone cheated, the characters in the game would undergo novel changes. Most of these were mockeries by Bronie, like a clown mask appearing on their face or a pacifier in their mouth. These changes weren’t harmful but were extremely insulting.Over time, cheating became something players did just to see how the game would react to it."Do you have any ideas? What kind of game do you want to make next?"After an inadvertent idea, Bronie decided to make a game, and Elysia would pay more attention to it.At first, Bronie played Tears of the Kingdom with Elysia for a while, but she lost interest halfway through. Maybe it was because she had made the game herself, so it didn’t feel fresh anymore.Every time she made a game, she needed to do a lot of testing. Perhaps Bronie had already figured out every detail of the game.Elysia understood that feeling, but after Bronie gave up playing, instead of jumping into making a new game, she collapsed on the bed behind her and watched herself play the game live.The audience’s reactions in the live comments largely reflected how well the game content was doing in the market. However, in Elysia’s live broadcast room, everyone was focused on Elysia or chatting with her, and the game was not the main focus.This was also why Bronie didn’t want to watch the game reviews from Ellie’s live broadcast room.Maybe the audience started asking, so Ellie asked Bronie about her idea for the next game.Bronie, wearing thin pajamas, tossed and turned on the bed with her mobile phone."Games? I was just watching videos. Sure enough, in different cultures and language environments, there is still a common hobby..."It wasn’t long before new videos appeared on the Internet. What Bronie enjoyed watching most was the moments when players showcased their wisdom in the game. There were always some people who would foolishly get themselves into trouble while trying something new.For Bronie, this was the biggest fun after completing the game."Different languages, different cultures, but the same hobby? Is it beautiful girls?""It’s reproductive worship."Speaking of this, Bronie projected the screen to Elysia, and Elysia saw various Armstrong cannons made from Zonai devices. Among them were fire-breathing, electric discharge, water-spraying, and various piston movements.Which were very very phallic.Needless to say, the targets of these cannons were the Bokoblin in the game.Bokoblin might be the most frequently featured model in the video material. This could be related to the fact that most of the monsters in Hyrule are Bokoblin.Looking at the various unbearable scenes appearing on the screen in front of her, Elysia glared at Bronie with a grudge."Well, when you're well-fed and warm, you’ll think of lust. This saying isn't just talk. But apart from these things, there are still many eye-opening stuff, like the energy-saving travel device made from a fan and tires in the temple. It’s quite imaginative."Game players have never lacked talent for research. After some players noticed the immense wind force created by the fan, they decided to use the leftover materials to build and take those things out of the temple. They used the mechanisms inside the temple, applied them to Zonai devices for traveling, and came up with new possibilities.It must be said that the imagination of players is truly unlimited, and there are many things that even Bronie had never thought of."So, what’s the new game?"Well, it seems that if she continue with this topic, Ellie might show her what a real Armstrong cannon is.You know, she is wearing a pure white nightgown right now which is practically a sign to be ready to be eaten. Without thick defense, Ellie can use her 'magic' on her at any time.Bronie pondered for a moment."You like the feeling of fairy tales more, right?""Reality... has a different flavor, but Bronie, Red Dead Redemption is real enough!"When it comes to reality, Elysia knows that Bronie must want to kill people. Though Elysia doesn’t reject this kind of thing, she prefers lighter comedy to tragedy. There’s no need to overthink the deep meaning of the plot—just end the story in a relaxed and happy way.Aren’t the earliest games made to relax people?"You know Metamorphosis, right? Thumbelina or Gulliver's Travels, right?""Metamorphosis might be a bit too heavy. But if you’re talking about Thumbelina and Gulliver's Travels, hehe, I feel like the game you’re going to make must be very interesting!"Yes, Bronie was indeed planning to make It Takes Two.Even players who have never played games can easily play it. It can be said that it is a must-play game for couples. Of course, it’s also suitable for good buddies to play.Two people cooperate to solve puzzles, jump on platforms, and engage in various small games along the way, ultimately watching the broken emotions of the couple in the game gradually heal.In the process of playing, the emotions between the two players will be subtly affected and gradually deepen—whether it’s friendship, affection, or love.It’s like truly experiencing a fantasy adventure, solving puzzles together, growing up together, and overcoming many difficulties.Bronie moved her fingers, and the concept map of the game gradually projected.A chubby doll and a skinny doll, with dandelions bigger than their bodies, and grass that resembled a forest. The style was cute but also had a bit of an American cartoon feel.The main theme of the game was relaxed and warm. As long as one player wasn’t dead, the other could be resurrected no matter what kind of blow they had suffered. This mechanism greatly reduced the overall difficulty of the game, even if one of the two players wasn’t very skilled."Okay, today’s work ends here. At least the new folder isn’t empty!""How can you do this!"It finally started getting interested, but she didn’t expect Bronie to collapse on the bed again, like a salted fish that had lost its dream."Let’s finish The Legend of Zelda first. I still have a lot of time to slowly make games. Right now, I just want to stay with you and rest for a while. I haven’t recovered from the high-intensity work before. Besides, Einstein and Tesla from Anti-Entropy are even more unkind. They gave me so many strange resources for no reason.""A Great Purge... The Fire Moth had a period like that before. We had to do those things for the advancement of mankind. Sakura and I also participated in similar things at that time... The resources left behind also troubled Dr. Mei for a long time."Elysia immediately realized what Anti-Entropy was doing. Originally, Anti-Entropy had deviated from its original path under the corrosion of capital for many years, and the concept of fighting against Honkai was getting closer and closer to Schicksal.Such a decisive purge, accompanied by pain, would inevitably greatly reduce Anti-Entropy’s strength. Handing part of the mess to Bronie also meant trusting her."Anyway, if it’s sent to me, I’ll definitely throw the resources to Hydra. Recently, Hydra has been growing bigger and bigger, and it seems that it's something I can’t hide. I can only say that Ash Serpent is really useful. He’s excellent at integrating resources, collecting intelligence, and managing organizations.".The best thing about being a boss is handing all the troubles to subordinates and letting them solve the problems, while you can do whatever you want.The development of Hydra is to collect resources for Bronie in human civilization, then provide them when needed, and leave a backup for future anti-Honkai and anti-Stigmataa plans.However, because Bronie’s needs are so broad, Gray Serpent in Hydra has had to gradually involve Hydra in more industries and power circles. Some Schicksal branches can even be called Hydra branches. Some Anti-Entropy military bases are even more loyal to Bronie.To be honest, Ash Serpent has helped Bronie solve countless troubles. Sometimes Bronie doesn’t know what to reward him with.Just reward him with more work!For example, some Anti-Entropy branches controlled by Bronya will be handed over to Gray Serpent for management, so Bronya can free up her hands to do more important things."Gray Serpent is really capable. By the way, Bronie, have you thought of a name for the new game? What names do you plan to give the two dolls?""The name of the game is It Takes Two. The two protagonists are Cody and May. They’re a couple with broken emotions, and through their journey, they try to find a way to become human again. Along the way, their emotions gradually recover. Doesn’t that sound like a very romantic story?"[Chapter 265: Yae Sakura's Adaptation]For two players, the overall game is designed in a sandbox style, much like Mario Odyssey, with a very clear goal and fixed level design. However, each level must be different from the previous one, and each map must carefully hide small easter eggs. The overall difficulty design must also account for the players' level progression.In short, the main feature of the game is a collection of materials and attention to detail, so players who have never played the game can quickly get into it and gradually dive deeper. While the plot superficially appears to be wrapped in a fairy tale skin, family love and the cruelty of adults are at the core of the game.Sbe won’t tell Elysia about this for now, as it's a subtle little bad taste from Bronie.Of course, the cruel adult content is only briefly touched upon, with most of the plot being relatively warm. After completing the game, players won't gain profound truths, but rather beautiful memories that will make them smile when recalled.The game requires careful crafting, but right now, most players are playing Tears of the Kingdom, so how could they think about the new ideas from the Haxxor Bunny that Elysia released in the live broadcast?The Hyrule continent is vast, and compared to Breath of the Wild, the Tears of the Kingdom map also includes underground and sky areas. These two areas alone are enough to keep players busy for several months.That’s right—not all players have the luxury of playing games for more than eight hours a day, so if Bronie were to judge, it would take players at least nearly a month to clear Tears of the Kingdom. And that’s just for the sake of clearing the game.There are many things worth exploring in the large map, countless Yahaha waiting for players to find, and various side quests along the way that support the story framework of the entire world. Thus, new games can be kept on the back burner for a while before being released.If the game is released too soon, players' wallets will be tight, and Bronie also wants to see more of their feedback on the game.…"The games in this world are really quite peculiar."Living in the headquarters of Schicksal, and checking in at the laboratory from time to time, Yae Sakura's life has become quite leisurely.After Otto's examination, Yae Sakura's body turned out to be quite special. It’s clear that the gene fragments of Honkai Beasts are particularly active in her body. As a result, some features that do not belong to humans have appeared on Yae Sakura’s head.In addition, there is another gift left behind by Kallen within Yae Sakura. Through research, Otto noticed an unknown area connected to the active stigmata.According to Bronie, all the stigmata genes of the Kaslana family are woven into a vast network, with the memories, experiences, and knowledge of all the Kaslanas stored within it. Emotions that have been forgotten, lingering feelings, and small, inadvertent thoughts are all there.However, there is nothing Otto is seeking in there.That is Kallen's soul.Otto had restored Kallen’s body long ago, but Kallen's consciousness had dissipated after she died, making resurrection impossible, even with her body restored.Initially, Otto sought to use the power of Honkai. But later, Bronie provided a perfect answer. Since Kallen’s soul has never existed in the present or future, what about the past?The imaginary tree that records everything holds such power!But now, Bronie has also provided something that looks like a shortcut: the stigmata network of the Kaslana family!In order to study this, Otto suffered greatly. He worked day and night for dozens of days and months, using up a lot of resources from the Schicksal headquarters and squeezing Void Archives to collaborate with him for nearly a month without sleep.Finally, some progress was made in the study of the stigmata. However, this progress made Otto realize that there was definitely no soul of Kallen in the Kaslana stigmata space!There may be many unknown powers, and it’s possible that the members of the Kaslana family might suddenly become stronger, but no other souls would remain there! Memory, emotion, and cognition—while closely related to the soul—are definitely not the soul itself. Even if injected into the empty shell of a body, it cannot truly revive it.In short, Bronie fooled him!No, Bronie never promised that he would definitely find what he wanted, only that there might be something he desired.And Otto would never give up on this possibility.That was clear from the moment he entered Nagazora.In the end, nothing substantial was discovered.The only result was that the stigmata’s mysteries were clarified. Yae Sakura was given a current position where she occasionally went to the laboratory to assist with research.On most days, she practiced with Durandal. If there were large-scale Honkai incidents and not enough personnel, Yae Sakura would be deployed.Yae Sakura indeed became idle, then began learning about this world and connecting with the world 500 years later.Just as Yae Sakura was sitting alone on a chair in a square in Schicksal, Rita approached curiously.Yae Sakura had no entertainment activities on weekdays. People in ancient times had even fewer daily entertainments, especially shrine maidens, who were expected to have pure hearts and few desires.After learning this, Rita took out the game console and handed it to Yae Sakura, teaching her how to use it step by step.She then recommended countless games available on the market to Yae Sakura.The first one she suggested was Undertale.The cute pixel style, simple game mechanics, and the warm plot that could touch even the coldest heart made it the perfect choice for introducing someone to video games.Perhaps only after playing the Genocide Route could Undertale be considered complete, but Rita believed that the Pacifist Route was good enough, and there was no need to force the Genocide Route.Next, she recommended Spiritfarer, followed by Kirby and The Legend of Zelda.These games were easy to play, and through their stories, Yae Sakura could gradually understand some basic concepts of the modern world.Indeed, playing games made it easier for Yae Sakura to learn modern knowledge, but among all the games from Haxxor Bunny, Yae Sakura's favorite was Guilty Gear!Rita was surprised. She hadn't expected the priestess from five hundred years ago to be so trendy in her preferences.Yae Sakura explained that the rock music in the game was fascinating. She could feel the resistance and the pursuit of one's true self, especially in the character of the black-skinned warrior who suppressed the bloodthirsty impulse in his body and fully displayed a warrior's loyalty.In the character music, Yae Sakura could also hear the spirit of perseverance.It could only be said that she was truly worthy of being the anti-god miko. Rita understood why Yae Sakura gave herself this kind of name.The feudal remnants of the past had done much harm to people. Yae Sakura had always wanted to change everything, but due to her lack of experience and the constraints of the times, she had never found a clear direction.But now?Isn't this it?All the answers were in rock and roll.Holding the Switch in her hand, feeling the charm of the Hyrule continent, Yae Sakura couldn't help but admire the intriguing aspects of the game during her break.At that moment, Rita came over to take care of Yae Sakura on Archbishop Otto's orders."Haxxor has made a lot of games. Her work has directly changed the environment of the Internet. Countless fascinating games have appeared all over the world, creating waves. Each game brings countless precious memories to players. Many players are saying that the world cannot afford to lose Haxxor!"Rita heard Yae Sakura's sigh and couldn't help but respond."Oh? What kind of genius is this producer named Haxxor?""Halo-sensei is Bronya's sister. Do you see the big robot next to Bronya? That's her masterpiece. Aside from that, the games that Haxxor-sensei made have also brought me many interesting childhood memories."At that time, Rita had not yet met Ragnar dressed as a maid and came to her mother's flower shop.At that time, Rita had not yet encountered the disaster of the Honkai."So that's it. That huge robot that protects the child all the time was made by Haxxor? Is she your teacher?""Yes, she once taught me and Lady Biabka how to survive in the Sea of Quanta. I think she is still doing what she loves and searching for ways to fight against the Honkai...""Ahem, sorry, there aren't many refreshments in the room. I apologize for my lack of hospitality."Suddenly, Yae Sakura realized. Rita was a guest—why hadn't she fulfilled her etiquette?Perhaps it was Rita's friendliness and maid outfit that had relaxed her vigilance.Rita smiled and took out a box hidden behind her."I'm just a maid. There's no need to worry about those formalities. I came here today to give you a computer. Miss Yae Sakura enjoys things with rock elements, right? So here's a game that can't be played without a computer.""I've been cared for by you this whole time, and I really have nothing to give back.""Didn't I say? These little things are insignificant for Schicksal, even for the Valkyrie. Not to mention, you also fought the Honkai Beasts alongside Lady Bianka. Countless people were saved because of you, and these things are what you truly deserve."In Rita's eyes, Yae Sakura was a pure warrior, fighting on the front lines for others, always taking care of her comrades, moving swiftly on the battlefield, greatly reducing Valkyrie casualties, and destroying countless Honkai Beasts!Rita thought she couldn't do such outrageous things, so she felt that what she could do was take good care of everyone.Rita skillfully assembled the computer, then took out the hard drive with the pre-downloaded game and inserted it into the motherboard."Cyberpunk 2077 is said to be a game created by Haxxor based on her hometown. Although that world isn't very beautiful, the subject matter should be exactly to your liking. The story, focused on resistance and rebellion, is so close to the core of rock music.""Interesting!"As soon as the promotional video played, Yae Sakura's eyes lit up.The flashing neon lights, the trendy clothes, and the sci-fi world that seemed a bit unreal—all of it captivated Yae Sakura.Seeing how much Yae Sakura enjoyed the game, Rita sat beside her very closely and said with great interest, "The content of this game is quite complex. Let me guide you through how to get started with this kind of game!"Because Yae Sakura only played the Switch, she was completely unfamiliar with computer operations.Yae Sakura was taken aback for a moment. She wondering whether such social distance was normal in modern times.She nodded and watched Rita teach her how to use the computer.…"Dr. Mobius! Bronie has released a new game, the sequel to Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom!"Bronie usually sends games to the Elysian Realm in advance.To enrich everyone's entertainment life in their spare time, Bronie naturally never hesitated to send games to the Elysian Realm.Of course, not everyone was interested in games."I've told you countless times, Klein, I'm not interested in that bunny's gamez and don't play games while I'm working. I have a lot of experiments here!""Yes... Elysia asked me to tell the doctor..."Klein felt guilty for disturbing Mobius.Mobius glanced at her and responded with a tense expression, "That pink fat woman only knows how to harass me. Doesn't she know I'm busy? She expects me to find the location of Finality from the 10,000-year-old Chimera. Haxxor really suggested this kind of thing! And now you want me to work and play games at the same time? Isn't that embarrassing!""But Dr. Mobius... I think you should rest more. Not resting for long periods will increase your mental pressure. Also, most of the computing power of the Elysian Realm is occupied, resulting in a lot of erroneous data. Kalpas can't clean it up."Did Kalpas become the cleaning master of the Elysian Realm?Aponia, Su, and Kevin had all left the Elysian Realm, and even Elysia was gone. The computing power released by the several memory replicas leaving the Elysian Realm still wasn't enough."Alright, let's put the experiment aside for now and let me play that irritable game for a while. Let me see what breakthrough the little bunny has made this time and if it has caught the attention of the Aeon~"It was definitely not because she wanted to play that she stopped.Mobius found countless excuses for herself before finally turning on the game console under Klein's expectant gaze.In the Elysian Realm, Bronie's game brought a brief tranquility.[Chapter 266: Eden is Waiting for Ellie]"Hi, my good Eden, how have you been recently? Have you used the memory me in the Elysian Realm to do something more intimate?""Ellie...you are already in a relationship, why are you still expecting me to do something? Don't worry, Ellie, I won't do anything."Because she was afraid that Eden would be lonely, Ellie would always find Eden to play games, appreciate music together, or look at modern famous gems together.After Bronie stopped playing Tears of the Kingdom, Ellie found Eden."That's a pity. Who doesn't like to stick with beautiful girls? By the way, Eden, where did you play Tears of the Kingdom? I want to play with you!""It seems that Bronie is a bit busy recently?"If Bronie wasn't busy, Eden couldn't think of why Ellie suddenly found her.Of course, Tears of the Kingdom is indeed a very good game. Playing with two players makes the game even more interesting. You can use your imagination to create something that seems impossible, and then continue to explore and adventure in this magical and enchanting continent.Sometimes Eden would wonder what it would be like if she played this game with Ellie."Bronie has been very busy, but she also tries to make time to be with me! The Honkai has not been completely resolved. Bronie is struggling with who to leave the Cocoon of Finality to. She said that Kiana is very worrying."It's right to worry.After all, how old is Kiana now?Strictly speaking, she is only a junior high school student. What's the difference between giving an outrageous thing like the Cocoon of Finality to a child and giving a nuclear bomb button to a baby?If we're not careful, humans may have to face the end and Honkai again.No one knows why Bronie thinks Kiana has the ability to control the Finality. Is it just because she is a man-made Herrscher, has Kaslana's genes, and that Schariac Holy Blood?Eden pondered for a moment and finally said, "Bronie chose Kiana, there must be some deep meaning in it, so let's open the game. Then, do you want to use your Link save file, or mine?"In two-player mode, the abilities of both parties are the same. If Rauru's account has not been used, then the contents of the new Rauru backpack are directly copied from Link's backpack, even the weapons in Link's hands.Eden guessed that Bronie must have used Rauru in Ellie's account, and it would feel weird if she used it again.Ellie smiled and responded, "Then we're using yours!"Sure enough, Eden did not choose to let the memory Elysia in the Elysian Realm create Rauru's account.Eden has been waiting for Elysia to play games together."This game is very imaginative. It allows players to use their imagination. Just like the temple in the previous game encourages players to use evil methods to pass the level, Bronie magnified all of this and allowed players to pass the level in their own unique way.""Yes, Bronie said that the simplest happiness of children often requires rich imagination and creativity to support it, and players are guided back to their childhood, making it easiest to feel that pure fun.""It's a very interesting statement. Is it guiding players back to their childhood through the game?""Or recalling childhood?"For the two of them, childhood is really too far away.Especially in the long life they have been through, childhood only occupies a short period of more than ten years.Compared with the whole life, it is so short that it seems to have only happened in a moment.Eden followed Ellie's words and tried to recall her childhood.As a memory replica, Eden naturally remembered everything in the past clearly."I really miss it, but even Bronie is not immune to vulgarity. The sequel obviously uses a lot of materials from the previous game, whether it is monsters or soundtracks. I thought Bronie would prepare more interesting music, just like in Civilization."Eden is still more concerned about the soundtrack. As a great artist, watching Bronie release new works every time and savoring every song in it, there is always a feeling of panning for gold in the sand.And Bronie can always give some eye-catching works, allowing Eden to feel that the development of this new civilization art field has become richer.It doesn't take too long to wait. Bronie promised that everyone can leave the Elysian Realm in less than five years.And Eden is willing to believe Bronie's words.However, Bronie also reminded everyone to be careful about the birth of the Corrosion Herrscher, but Eden does not have much ability to prevent this kind of immortal, so in the end, it can only be left to Mobius and Vill-V to solve.There is also Rin in the Elysian Realm recently. It can be said that it is finally a little more lively than after Elysia left the Elysian Realm.Sakura often smiles. She later told everyone that she had known about Rin and her situation for a long time, but she didn't expect Bronie to bring her back.It can be said that since Bronie came, the Elysian Realm has been changing all the time, and it seems that everything is moving in a good direction.To be honest, this is really good."Bronie can't always produce perfect works, and sometimes she puts pressure on herself, worrying that she will never be able to produce better works in the future. Although it's just a little bit of emotion, it will accumulate if it can't be relieved.""Generally speaking, this kind of emotion can only be digested by herself. Countless geniuses in the world have accumulated pressure on themselves because of this emotion, and in the end, many people have collapsed because of it."Of course, some geniuses go crazy directly, so considering that Bronie has produced so many classics, Eden is indeed a little worried.So, Eden gave a small warning."Bronie said that if she really doesn't know how to make a game, she'll just give up on making games and look for fun games in the universe. This might be her way of relieving stress.""Because she can no longer create, she turns to other people's works? That's actually a good choice, and her original intention of making games hasn't changed much.""Bringing smiles to everyone, that’s exactly what I like about her!"Ellie also sighed, looking at the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in her hand. She knew that Bronie never forgot her original intention. Even if it was a horror game, it could still bring smiles to those who recommended it to others.The word happiness has always been the core of the game, and it is also the most important emotion for humans."Yes, this is exactly what we like about her."..."Ah-choo—"In the Haxxor Bunny Office in the Golden Courtyard, Bronie let out a big sneeze. To be honest, she couldn’t remember the last time she had caught a cold or gotten sick. It was probably back in Cyber Arc when she wasn’t fully grown?At that time, she liked wearing fishnet stockings and exposing her belly button, wanting to act a little more mature.There was no way around it—the mercenary industry was like that. If you didn’t dress up a bit and look like a genius, the other party would definitely look down on you and try to rob you.It was exhausting to take care of their hands and feet.Besides, prosthetics could be sold on the black market, but the work of transporting them still had to be done herself."Hey, you've been walking around in pajamas lately, so you’ve finally caught something, huh? Sister Bronie~""Seele, rather than thinking that I might get sick, you should first consider if someone I know has been talking about me. After all, when a normal body becomes strong enough, it generally doesn't get sick unless the Honkai becomes stronger again and a virus or bacterial Honkai beast is born.""Bacteria!? Will it really be born!?"Seele was obviously scared by Bronie's words.Bronie grinned and spoke, "Not just bacterial Honkai beasts! Those infected might even become vampires and start chasing others, biting them every day!"Bronie made a face, and Seele was stunned for a moment, not feeling any fear at all. Finally, she sighed and responded, "Okay, Sister Bronie, it’s fine to scare Seele, but before you do that, you should think about whether your face will really be scary when you make that face?"Okay, I’m praised for my good looks.Bronie rubbed her stiff cheeks and thought about the big Theresa wearing a wedding dress under the moon."What I said was true. There is a thing like that in the Sea of Quanta.""Huh? Is it true?!"Seele’s eyes widened. She thought Bronie was joking. Then she immediately became serious."Sister Bronie! Do you want to go to Sister Mobius for a check-up? After all, didn’t you say that? Normally, there shouldn't be any problems with your body!"Look, where did the usually arrogant Black Seele go? Is this still the Black Seele who likes to hide her little emotions, like a rose with thorns?"Relax, I do physical exams regularly. Even if there’s an invasion of foreign objects, the etheric code in my body will act as a firewall to isolate any poisons. At least I don't feel any abnormalities in my etheric code right now.""Is that so... Then don't scare me... So, is it because you only wear pajamas on weekdays?"Sometimes, Black Seele feels Bronie's clothes are too loose, which makes her wonder if Bronie is really with Sister Ellie all day long.Wearing these clothes is just for convenience—taking off clothes, changing, etc., it's probably convenient."Who knows? So, don’t worry about these things~ The game is almost done. You gave me a little inspiration.""What? Vampire?"Vampire?Bronie thought of the game Castlevania, which is a bit like Devil May Cry, with full action elements, but this wasn’t the kind of game Bronie had just thought of."It's a horror game. Horror games have many kinds of scary atmospheres. The most intuitive is bloody and violent content, like Evil Within, but the horror atmosphere created by Evil Within is more complicated. So, I’m thinking of making a game that could really scare you to tears.""Hahaha? Scare me to tears?"Actually, Black Seele believed in Bronie's talent in her heart. But she had to be stubborn."Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I was born from Seele’s darkness. A little horror is nothing to me!""Is that so? Then I’m even more interested."Bronie stared at Seele's face, feeling the urge to pinch her cheeks.There's no way—I've made her fat and white. She'll definitely have a very good figure in the future."So, the new game is ready? I haven't finished playing Legend of Zelda with that pufferfish yet, and now you're playing a new game? Don’t you know what rest is?"Summer will be here soon. Sister Bronie likes beautiful girls and occasionally likes to look at beautiful pictures on the internet, how could she miss this opportunity for a seaside trip?Although last time, she encountered some bad things on the island.But it doesn’t matter. Will this become a psychological shadow for Bronie?People who haven’t seen Ellie’s swimsuit will have a relatively failed life. Bronie once said that, and then designed various swimsuits, which are also very beautiful.She can only say that Bronie is worthy of being good at making games. After all, there are very distinctive characters in each game, and Bronie seems to be very good at designing the costumes of those characters.The most representative one is naturally Guilty Gear, which uses asymmetric and meaningless decorations as the main theme of clothing, and uses some obvious color matching to highlight the character's personality. It is a relatively rare type in fighting games.Seele had just been forced to learn some knowledge from Sirin, so she also had some understanding of Bronie's clothing design.What is a real genius? It’s Sis Bronie in front of us.But geniuses also like to exhaust their livers.Who can stand this?!Working and using the brain at high intensity every day—is this really okay?Both Seeles is very worried about Bronie's physical condition. But she certainly won’t say it directly on the surface."Doing what you like is, of course, called rest. Playing games occasionally—honestly, the real work is indeed researching and learning technology! For me, making games isn't that tiring."Processing the game in her memory and presenting it to everyone is, in fact, as simple for Bronie as patching a torn piece of clothing.Although that’s what she says, it’s true that if the patch is too ugly, the game won’t be fun.So, there’s still some pressure."I don’t care about you. You know your own business. Bronya can’t persuade you, Sin can’t persuade you. Do you need Seele to dress up as a cat and beg you to take a rest?"In fact, Black Seele also has a little selfish desire not to let Bronie make a horror game. But using such a simple method, she doesn't think it can convince Sis Bronie, right?"Hey, that’s good! If Seele pretends to be a cat and begs me, I’ll consider taking an extra month off~"This answer was something that Black Seele had never expected.So after hearing this answer, Seele made a puzzled sound."Huh?"[Chapter 267: The Cat Seele Was Born to Be Eaten by Haxxor Bunny!][The legend continues, as a successful sequel!][It was the one that destroyed Breath of the Wild. It turns out that only Haxxor Bunny can defeat Haxxor Bunny!][Never fall from the altar; the altar always falls into her. The legendary game producer creates a new myth with her own strength!][A brand-new sales myth! Can Haxxor Bunny break through herself again next time?]There are all kinds of Tears of the Kingdom news on the phone. Even though Welt is busy and didn't play Bronie's new game at first, he always keeps an eye on the latest game information. Everyone has played the game, and as Welt looks at the various aircraft or combat machines they've made, his eyes are full of envy.But next time, he won't even have time to envy."The Deep is almost ready. The information from St. Freya Academy is really useful!"Hearing Einstein's voice, Welt turned off his phone."That's the best. In such a vast Sea of Quanta, do we really have hope of finding the Ether Anchor? And I heard that the Bubble World that lost its ether anchor point is likely to gradually dissipate completely in the Sea of Quanta.""Correct. Even if there is an ether anchor, most Bubble Worlds will still completely dissipate. In essence, it's just an illusion like soap bubbles, a world cut from the tree of imaginary numbers with no future. Bronie is just a special case among special cases, like the characters in a movie suddenly coming to life and appearing in front of everyone."Hearing Einstein say this, Welt was silent for a long time."But we can't rule out the possibility that Bronie is just an exception, right?"Welt's meaning was clear. He needed to see the situation, and since there was a special case like Bronie, there might be more!But honestly, Einstein was more concerned that Welt would act impulsively and lose his life. Compared to those with no future in strange Bubble Worlds, Einstein hoped that the young man in front of him would cherish his life.But since Welt had made up his mind, there was no other choice...No, there was still a way."Tesla, persuade Welt!"After saying that, Einstein took out her earplugs and blocked her ears.Then Einstein vaguely heard Tesla's scoldingIt seemed that Tesla wouldn't stop anytime soon.But this was actually good. So, Einstein prepared some throat lozenges and boiled water for Tesla, ensuring that Tesla wouldn't harm herself when at full power....Seele put on cute cat ears and white stockings. The suspenders slowly buckled the edge of the thigh-high socks, and the tight straps embedded in her thigh meat, reassuring her that the socks wouldn’t slip off. She then put on a short maid outfit, looked at her cute reflection in the mirror, and patted her cheeks."Come on! Seele, for Sis Bronie’s rest time!"'There's something else!'Black Seele reminded her in her mind.Seele then realized, looking at the tail on the dressing table, her face blushing.'Seele, this is really a bit weird.''It's just role play. We’ll let Sis Bronie play it later, and you can choose any role! This tail is very normal—you’ve probably never seen anything weirder!''Weirder?''Of course! It's the kind of tail that can be inserted! Don’t think too clearly about the details—just put it on now!'Before Seele could think about what "insertion" meant, Black Seele’s urging made her start to act. She tied the tail around her waist. The drooping tail teased the hem of the skirt, as if something was behind her, creating a feeling of insecurity."Is this all right?"'If you want to put on makeup, I don’t mind. After all, sister Ellie has taught you, right?''Forget it. Bronie said that cosmetics are still a bit harmful to the face, so never mind!'Unless it’s for an important occasion—like going out with Bronie to receive an award—Seele doesn’t wear makeup.Simply put, the power of the stigmata is the best cosmetic. Seele is naturally beautiful and doesn’t need to worry about the possibility of aging in the future.After observing her appearance again, Seele felt ashamed once more.Seele still liked beautiful clothes and would not refuse light skirts. But this kind of skirt was too short, and the one that would expose her fat when the wind blew gently was truly embarrassing.Additionally, the chest area was exposed a little too much.This outfit had been chosen by the other Seele. Normally, Seele wouldn’t harm her, right?Putting on small leather shoes, Seele walked carefully down the corridor of the Golden Courtyard, then arrived at the door of Bronie’s office.Knock, knock~“Come in!”Sister Bronie’s voice came from inside. Seele knew that, compared to the active and confident Sister Bronie from before, the current Bronie was calmer, more elegant, and a little tired.Time was cruel. Seele was about to grow up, but Sister Bronie seemed to be showing signs of aging.It wasn’t about her appearance, but her mentality.“Sister Bronie~ Seele came to play with you~ What are you doing now? Are you working?”Seele leaned forward slightly and saw Bronie’s eyes instantly lock onto her. The intense gaze felt like a searchlight, causing Seele to tighten her legs and blush slightly.“Come on, come on, I’m not working. Didn’t I make a promise with the other you? As long as Seele puts on the cute cat maid outfit, I will set aside my work and games, focus on resting, and play with everyone for a while!”As she spoke, Bronie got up from the office chair, ran a few steps toward Seele, and opened the office door.Pure white stockings, suspender straps peeking through, a perfectly sized heart-shaped emblem, and a tail hanging behind.Perfect!With a mischievous grin, Bronie pulled Seele into the room and closed the door.“Ah! Sister Bronie~”“Hehehe, so, Seele finally came to her senses and wants to show herself to her sister Bronie? Although I have Elysia, I won’t reject a beautiful girl~”“Chest... Chest...”“Kitten~ Kittens are meant to be eaten by their sister~ Since you’ve aroused my anger, you have to be responsible for extinguishing it~”“Ah!!”Seele didn’t reject the intimacy with Bronie. Though she was a little shy, she felt happy in her heart.Bronie had always been very caring toward everyone. But as they grew older, communication had become less frequent, and parent-child activities had significantly decreased.On one hand, they didn’t want to disturb Bronie’s work, and on the other hand, Bronie probably thought they had grown up and could live independently, so she rarely asked about their affairs.Or maybe she feared they would develop rebellious tendencies during adolescence?Seele didn’t have time to think about it now, as she was still in Bronie’s arms. The sweet fragrance penetrated her nose, and the soft shaking made her dizzy. When she reacted, Seele found herself sitting on Bronie’s lap.The smooth friction between the stockings made Seele feel a little incredulous.She felt like a doll...“A little... I made everyone worry a bit. As a parent, I am really unqualified...”Seele was even willing to change into such clothes and appear in front of her. Though she was very shy, she overcame her fear and dressed like this for Bronie.“No, no! Sister Bronie is the best sister in the world! She freed us from the fear of entering the laboratory, gave us delicious food, beautiful clothes, and super awesome teachers... This is something that most parents can’t do!”Seele still had to go online, and the chaos of the internet allowed her to maintain the purity of her heart.No one followed the crowd, nor did she believe what others said online, and bad media couldn’t affect her.“Damn, how can Seele be so cute...”Bronie buried her face in Seele’s neck, almost face to face.“Sister Bronie...”“Well, I’m taking a break. We did agree on it before, and the two-person trip is almost done. We just need to send the dubbing and music for release. No plans for games or work for the time being.”“Is that so... Seele doesn’t really understand what Sister Bronie does on a daily basis.”“Because of my limited talents, I have to work harder than ordinary people to learn the most cutting-edge knowledge from previous era. In order to fight against the Cocoon and find a way to control it, sufficient knowledge is a must.”As Bronie spoke, a pure white flower gradually condensed in her hand.“Even if it’s to protect the beauty in front of me, I have no reason not to work hard~ After all, time is running out.”Bronie knew in her heart that the complete Honkai was less than five years away, and Kevin’s final phase of Project Stigma would be completed, after which humanity would completely lose its future.No matter how beautiful the flowers in the dream are, they are still fake.Seele still didn’t quite understand what Bronie meant, but she took the flower and smelled it.It was the scent of Bronie.“So Bronie has been learning all this time, right?”“Of course. The world is like a program. In addition to learning, I have to program the reality I expect and make it the cornerstone of the future. All preparations are to overcome the last difficulty and then reach the stars I expect. After that, I’ll go on adventures and have less time to come back~”“Then Seele will go with you!”“Go together? Sure! Let’s go on adventures together, watch countless sights together, and make Aha’s believers run around!”“Eh!? Believers?”“Although I can’t afford to offend the Aeon, I can’t afford to not offend those guys under THEM either. It’s okay to mourn and pity people, but as for the Masked Fool, I have to give them a good beating!”“Did they do something bad? Why do you want to punish them?”Seele immediately thought of poor Mr. Otto.The transformation of Chiyou brought Mr. Otto a thrilling and shameful adventure. The video of him being fooled around spread all over the Golden Courtyard, and everyone knew that the guy who shamelessly wore women’s clothes was the archbishop who had lived for 500 years.Then, Sister Bronie said she would punish them!Would they be as miserable as Otto?“They’re either looking for fun or on the way to have fun, and want to make jokes. After all, the Aeon gave me a mask, but if I don’t do something, it’ll be hard to integrate into the tavern.”Bronie thought her bartending skills hadn’t declined, but it had never really grown, so naturally, she couldn’t show them off.There was no way, so she had to find some fun to make everyone laugh, smoothly integrate into them, and by the way, secure a reliable backer in the universe.At least she wouldn’t be targeted by some interstellar company and tricked into signing some unequal treaties.The universe was vast, with different forces and relationships interwoven. It was always convenient to have a reliable friend when going out.“Is that so... The world of adults is a little difficult to understand~”Seele wasn't familiar with socializing.Generally, Seele chose to treat people with sincerity.But this was limited to getting along with good people.If there were bad people, Seele would be like a little sheep in their eyes and could be sold at any time.In the end, Black Seele gets angry and beat the other party into a small pancake.But after that?Who could guarantee that beating the younger one wouldn’t come back to the older one?“You will understand naturally in the future. You don’t need to think too much. With 'Seele' around, you’ll find a lot of peace in your heart~”Suddenly, Seele felt Sister Bronie was motionless on her back.It was like hugging a huge doll and falling asleep. Seele didn’t dare to move. It felt like Sister Bronie had been tired for a long time and finally got some rest.Seele didn’t know why, but her heart was racing, and she could feel the soft, steady heartbeat deep in her back.Her anxious little hand squeezed tightly on her thigh, but Bronie soon let go of Seele.“Seele energy is replenished! As expected, if people don’t stick to Seele, they can only live a relatively failed life! Since I can’t make games and can’t work for now, I can only play games!”“What kind of games does Bronie like to play?”“The most fun one is still Apex, so I plan to hold a small Haxxor Bunny Challenge next. Players from all over the world can participate and have the opportunity to become my opponent!”“Bronie actually likes such an exciting game!”[Chapter 268: Haxxor's Apex Event][Play games with Haxxor event is about to open!]Seele knew that sister Bronie loved playing games so much that she even made her favorite games.Whether it was gunfights or warm love, these were all things Bronie liked. Playing such games was like experiencing a different life and embarking on adventures in a different world. Bronie also loved competitive games. LSo, when she proposed holding an Apex competition, Seele felt that Bronie was indeed taking a break.Although holding a competition was still relatively complicated, the staff at Haxxor Studio, under sister Bronie, had long exceeded 3,000 people, and the operation team for Apex had more than 100 people.Thus, holding a less formal e-sports event was relatively simple.However, as soon as Bronie posted an update, it instantly became the number one trending topic.["I want to use the stinky fart of the fart man to fumigate Haxxor's teeth!"]["Although you are the best in the world at Titanfall's beginning tutorial, I will shove the Arc Star of Apex into your ass!"]["You are so awesome. Haxxor is just a game developer. What the hell does she know about operations? Can she do TS? Can she do sliding jumps?"]["Upstairs probably hasn't seen how Haxxor played this game when the server was first launched. She invented all the body movements. You’re telling everyone she can’t play?"]["Really? How many seasons have passed? Many characters have been released, and the map has changed greatly. Can she adapt to the current environment?"]["First of all, guess who designed the skills of those new Legends? And who designed the map?"]The internet was abuzz with arguments, and more players thought that even if Bronie wasn’t the best player, everyone would still welcome her.After all, Bronie was usually like a noble and elegant queen. She was only responsible for creating interesting works, but she hardly discussed which games were fun.Now, Bronie had finally taken off her elegant silk gloves and decided to play a game with everyone.Such an opportunity was something they couldn’t refuse!Countless players signed up enthusiastically, and the competition system was completely determined. It happened that the whole season was about to end, and before it concluded, after reaching a certain level of ranking points, players could get a ticket by winning first place.With this ticket, they would get a chance to match up with Bronie.Of course, the ticket would also show the status of Bronie’s game account in real time, whether she was looking for a ranked match, playing a game, or not online at all. Naturally, it was impossible to use the ticket if she wasn’t online, and during the game, players would need to wait for more than ten minutes.But it was all worth it!Bronie finally created her own livestream to show everyone that she was playing the game. Even if players challenged Bronie, they would still increase their ranking points during the game, so everyone was relatively careful. They didn’t want to focus too much on Bronie and chose to jump into the same area with her to land on the platform.After all, if everyone did this, the probability of dying would increase greatly, and their ranking points would decrease.Such a thing was unacceptable to some players. Bronie knew this, so she linked the event with the ranked matches. After all, even in matching mode, most players chose a place with rich resources to parachute recklessly and then hit the landing platform. Sometimes, even the first circle hadn’t shrunk yet, and there might only be five teams left on the map.Although this game mode was exciting, Bronie was still clear in her mind that once she joined the game, she would inevitably become the target of public criticism.This would lead to a huge difference in the game experience.The game was fun, but it wasn’t fun if you lost.Bronie thought about ranking points, which was still a certain level of importance.When players reached a certain level, they would naturally care more about their ranking points. The threshold Bronie set was indeed a bit high, starting from bronze to silver, then gold, platinum, and finally diamond.The top 750 Apex Hunters with ranking points were also included. Among these many levels, Bronie set the entry point at platinum level, specifically platinum 1, the closest to the diamond level. Most of the players in this level had a deeper understanding of the game and were of medium to high strength across the server. Their level would ensure that Bronie wouldn’t get bored."I don’t know where you are, but Haxxor wishes you a good morning, noon, and evening! Recently, my family always thinks I’m too involved in making games and forget to rest, so I held this event to let everyone play games with me~"["Okay, so we play like this, right?"]["You haven’t released a new work for nearly two weeks. When will you release a new work?"]["A large number of scientists have emerged in Hyrule, and they are now trying to create perpetual motion aircraft. Do you have any opinions, Miss Haxxor?"]There are many spectators, but even more players eager to challenge Haxxor.After all, the event had been hyped up, and naturally, many players had already started queuing, waiting for Bronie to go online and blow up their opponents!When Apex was first released, Bronie also played this game, leaving behind a legendary killstreak. No one has seen Bronie log into the game since.That was several years ago. After such a long time, the character data and gun balance have changed again and again.In the end, it’s no longer the original Apex."Well, I’m very happy to see the players exploring Zonia technology in Hyrule. As for the game, different people can feel different kinds of fun, so this is also a way to play, and I’m still very happy about it."Speaking of Bronie, she logged into the game account.Since it was an account under her company, Bronie opened her personal collection and saw that it was full of various skins.[Wow, all the skins are unlocked, I want them too!][I knew it!]"Collecting different skins is also part of the game, but I had a dream once—to make an online game myself, and then unlock all the items at once. Hahaha, and this time, it finally came true!"Bronie began to change the skins of various characters, including those super rare prestige skins and heirlooms, all of which she swapped in.As for the account data, it only contained the bronze rank data left from the first season, with no other data.The KD ratio was scary, and the hit rate and headshot rate were also very high.[Wow, this data—Haxxor only played a few games at that time, right?][The sample size is relatively small, so it shouldn't have practical significance.][It’s undeniable that Haxxor’s skills are still impressive, but I wonder if her skills have regressed over the years.]"Has my skills regressed? Even if they have, I’m definitely better than you guys. Just wait and see!"Bronie was full of confidence, and Seele was watching the live broadcast. She understood the game, after all. Bronie had been making games for a long time, and Seele would take the initiative to learn about the games Bronie made.You have to know that this Apex is ranked in the top five globally in terms of simultaneous online users on Sbeam, with high-quality game content, a refreshing game rhythm, and a cheat-free game environment that everyone trusts!"Sister Bronie, there are comments asking why there haven't been any cheats in APEX so far.""Hehe, why are there no cheats? No, it’s just that their technology isn’t up to standard. APEX is equipped with the most advanced artificial intelligence cheat detection system, which can flexibly monitor the upper limit of the operations that players can perform and the upper limit of the operations that their equipment can reach. This is the final line of defense against cheating. Before that, you'd need to break through the server’s firewall and crack the game’s program encryption. With such heavy protection, if someone manages to break the rules I’ve set, then I’d be willing to spend a lot of money to hire them."[Damn, there's also artificial intelligence?][Haxxor must have mastered black technology, otherwise, how could the game be more productive than a sow? I bet the artificial intelligence for cheat detection is just a gadget.]"Ahem, let’s put the cheat detection thing aside for now. I prefer to create a relatively fair competitive environment so that everyone can enjoy the fun of the game. Cheats often ruin the game experience, so I choose to block them, and I’ve never blocked cheats in single-player games."Bronie then clicked on the single-player match.Then, Bronie immediately entered the game.The players had been waiting for a long time."Sister Haxxor! I like you!"Of course, three people are needed to form a team for ranking, and this time the teammate seemed to be a girl.The girl shouted loudly through the team voice.There was no way—her teammate was a legend!A goddess who has created countless games and brought a happy childhood to countless players!"Oh? Thank you for your love. What characters are you generally more proficient in? I can adjust accordingly. After all, this game is essentially a team game, and it’s difficult for one person to take on three opponents.""I’m more proficient in Bloodhound…"The first to speak was another teammate. He decisively locked in Bloodhound and seemed determined to fight well.[Good guy, I envy him so much!][Legend's Wake and Wrath IV, this guy’s not simple! But if one person drags two girls, it might be a bit difficult to win, right?]Although there’s no discrimination, girls generally aren’t as good at competitive games.Whether it’s decisiveness, reaction, or love for games, it’s indeed a little behind boys.Except for Bronie, of course.If she didn’t love games, how could she create so many games?But the audience was still skeptical about Bronie’s skills."Bloodhound is good; the importance of information on the battlefield is no less than the gun in your hand. As for the other one… uh, Savior?"Seeing the Savior ID, Bronie instantly thought of someone.Could it be her?Bronie freed her hands and began to investigate the situation on the other side along the network cable."Hahaha! Of course, I’m the Savior! I’m better  Wattson, the kind of dancing on the edge of the knife, and then standing up and playing a role at the critical moment. That’s my strong suit! Who doesn’t like that feeling?"This was getting interesting.Bronie agreed with the other party’s statement, then put the mouse on Horizon."Although I really want to be a support character, the best defense is offense. Personally, I think this is the role that suits me best."Horizon’s skill is to create a gravity elevator to guide the character upwards, and it can also move horizontally during the climb to make it difficult for opponents to hit.Her ultimate move creates a small black hole that sucks people around it to the center. If a grenade is thrown at that time, it can cause very high damage.The only downside is that the black hole takes a long time to activate, and during the startup, the device generating it can be destroyed."I didn’t expect Miss Haxxor to be someone who likes fighting?"Kyuusyou didn’t expect that Bronie would choose such an aggressive character."A guerrilla , a gunner, and an informant. Although the fighting is slow, I’ll put enough pressure on the opposing team. So you just run, and then, it’s Gouzi. Let’s exchange information more—we must win this time!""No problem!"The fan Gouzi got excited, and the slight tremor in his voice made Bronie hear his inner excitement.At present, the ranking matches rotate between three maps at different times.Each map has its own characteristics and resource-rich points.Gouzi asked, "Haxxor, you’re the parachuting commander. Where should we land?""According to my design concept of the map, the major material points are relatively rich, and only a few special areas will have more scarce high-level resources. So normally, for ranking, we should land as soon as possible, glide to a farther place, and compete with one or two teams. Go~"Before Kyuusyou could protest Bronie’s decision, Bronie, as the parachuting commander, jumped directly."Wow! It’s like dumplings! Damn, they must be watching the live broadcast. Even if they don’t compete with us for the same area, we’ll face encirclement!""Hehe, is this really the strategy you’re using? The trash in the live broadcast room— even if there’s only a one percent chance, I can catch them. Watch this! The skills of Haxxor you know in the game!"[Chapter 269: All Are Here]It is impossible for players to say that they have no interest in Haxxor.However, they don't want to lose their ranking points.Therefore, many players have come up with a plan: get as close to Haxxor’s parachuting location as possible and play a game of fishermen benefiting from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.As for who will fight Haxxor for the landing platform?As hunters, the top 750 players in the server ranking say that no one is more suitable to be a landing platform player than them.So, when Haxxor’s very distinctive sky-blue tail gas flew out of the transport ship, the bloody red tail gas representing hunting followed.“Two teams are rolling with us, one of which is hunting. Next, it depends on your ability. Gouzi, remember to use more skills!”“No problem!”Gouzi’s answer was crisp and clear.Maybe it’s because, as a parachuting commander, he feels a little bit of the captain's responsibility?At least Gouzi can tell from the posture of Haxxor parachuting and gliding that Haxxor still understands the game.She also has a certain understanding of the resource distribution of the map.When everyone thought Haxxor had handed over the operation of Apex to her subordinates and didn’t care about the subsequent development, Gouzi found that the truth was not what those people on the internet had said.The landing battle is characterized by a fast pace.After landing, the first thing to do is eliminate all the people around you, no matter how bad your equipment is.Therefore, every battle for resources after landing is the most exciting part. Get a gun as quickly as possible, eliminate the opponent while they may not have a gun, and then look for better equipment while fighting.Gouzi’s actions are smooth, and Kyuusyou seems to be no less skilled.And Bronie is even more so.The three of them didn’t communicate much but tacitly separated to search for supplies at different resource points. Kyuusyou even used skills to trade health for speed in order to find guns faster."Converter submachine gun, a wheelchair gun that even children can play with~ a good helper for the landing stand. I have a team on the second floor here!"The ranking map this time is called World's Edge Bronie chose an area of world fragments located in the center of the map.It was a huge city ruin, and in the middle of this city, there was a half-built three-story unfinished building.This unfinished building is one of the places where matching players must land.Each floor has very rich resources, and the resources are dense, making it a rare resource refresh location.Bronie chose to land in this place, which really made Gouzi sweat.Fortunately, there aren't many players around.At least for the unfinished building area, it isn’t too crowded.After picking up a Converter submachine gun and seeing a purple armor on the ground, Bronie picked it up without thinking and took the light bullets."I'm going to start scanning!"The Bloodhound scan immediately covered the entire unfinished building, and Bronie could still hear the sound of gunfire one after another.But Bronie no longer had the energy to take care of these things.Probably all the players in this area knew that the Horizon player in the unfinished building was Haxxor.Therefore, the moment Bronie appeared in their field of vision, they would be immediately locked.The Converter submachine gun fired, and there were at least three headshots during the shooting process, causing a ghost player to fall to the ground immediately.But this was because Bronie was so aggressive on the gun line, relying on her purple armor.By the time the enemy had fallen to the ground, Bronie had already slid away, leaving behind a sound of armor breaking.When the opposite Bangalore caught up, she saw a purple armor on the ground.Without thinking too much, she assumed the opponent had just changed it. Changing armor is the fastest way to replenish it. Even the weakest white armor can resist 50 points of damage, which is half of the total health value.Bangalore chased after her without hesitation, but she never expected that just by looking at the purple armor, Bronie was actually ambushing behind a pillar not far away.The bullets were already replaced, and Bangalore walked straight towards her.Bronie quickly positioned her crosshairs on the opponent's head.Even if Bangalore reacted and fired at Bronie, several rounds from Bronie's gun instantly emptied the opponent's health, and the remaining bullets continued to pour on the Bangalore who had fallen to the ground, turning her into a box directly.[What a cool comeback!][What a fast lick! You’re telling me this is the Haxxor Bunny who hasn’t played since the first season? I don’t believe it! She must have been secretly practicing with a small account!][Good fellow, Wattson is still holding on and has changed several white armors!]After switching to Bangalore’s armor, with new guns and bullets, Bronie turned back again.In this building, it wasn’t just her team and the Bangalore team.At least three teams were in this unfinished building, and if the fighting dragged on a little longer, people from the outside would rush in to break it up.Bronie wouldn’t doubt her charm, so the next thing to do was to fight quickly and recover quickly."Ah—I'm falling and I can't get up!""There are two! One by one!"Unexpectedly, the first one to lose his temper was Gouzi. Bronie didn’t think much about it. After seeing the Wattson passing by the same place as her feet downstairs, Bronie threw out the gravity elevator."Wattson, come with me to the roof, I'll throw Q outside.""No problem!"It seemed that the opponent also dared not stay on the roof for long. When Bronie threw out the gravity elevator, the opponent jumped downstairs.Trying to use the complex unfinished building structure to buy some time to recover.However, Gouzi kept marking the target location, and Bronie immediately locked the opponent after following the gravity elevator up.The converter fell to the ground with one shot, and Wattson played by Kyuusyou followed closely, seeing another robot player who just fell on the third floor.It was also a p2020 that took away the opponent, but at this time there were two lone wolves from two teams fighting on the third floor."Hehe, isn’t this a coincidence! Haxxor, there are two dogs fighting each other downstairs!"Kyuusyou’s voice made Bronie react, and she didn’t choose to save the dog. Bronie walked down from the gravity elevator as quickly as possible, then entered the third floor smoothly, using a submachine gun to shoot and successfully cooperating with Kyuusyou to take down the opponent.[You are the Kill Leader!][Chapter 270: The First Blood was claimed by Bronie, and after participating in the elimination of five people, Bronie naturally earned the title of Kill Leader.]Although Gouzi didn’t know what happened, he was surprised to hear the character say that Horizon in his team won the Kill Leader title and exclaimed, “It’s awesome…”Yes, it really is awesome.All the players watching the live broadcast couldn’t help but sigh, and the team eliminated by Bronie also viewed her first-person perspective at the same time.With skilled operation, clear combat strategies, agile movements, and accurate shooting, people couldn’t help but wonder if Haxxor was really a perfect person.“Now is not the time to praise me. Wait until we win. Let’s quickly grab the loot and leave this place of right and wrong. I think everyone must not want to face the feeling of being surrounded by multiple teams, right?”The battle for resources on the ground ended smoothly, and Bronie immediately pulled Gouzi up and began looting the nearby bags.【Here they come! They’re all here!】【The battle on the landing platform has been going on for so long; the players trying to stop the fight and the junglers are arriving!】“That, sister Bronie, be careful…”Seele reminded her. She knew that the battle on the landing platform didn’t mean the end of the fight. Bronie would soon face the pursuit of players from all over the map.“You don’t need to say more. Of course, I know about this! But do you know why I chose to parachute in this spot?”“Why?”Seele tilted her head. Though she played games, there were still many things she didn’t fully understand.“There’s a resurrection platform here, which can revive teammates at any time. Secondly, there’s a zipline and a parachute tower nearby, which lets us transfer easily.”Speaking of this, Bronie equipped an R99 submachine gun and a parallel rifle as her main weapons, then donned the purple armor again and charged it.Gouzi's condition was also very good. After dealing a lot of damage during the battle, his evolution armor had already turned blue. Kyuusyou had also switched to blue armor and organized her equipment.Then, Bronie opened the map to confirm the safe zone and marked it.“Move immediately. The next safe zone is below. There are likely players using the live broadcast room to track our movements. Even with a delay, we can’t stay here for long, let alone set up a base in one place unless the safe zone has shrunk to a very small range.”There were still fifteen teams on the entire map. It was clear that even if players wanted to engage them, they were more concerned about the possibility of not winning the landing platform.So everyone had chosen a more conservative parachute location.This wasn’t good news.After all, if everyone played more conservatively, the number of people chasing them might be very large.“There are people fighting over there. Do you want to go over and shoot them?”Kyuusyou saw traces of bullets flying in the west and east of the fragments, but if they went that way, they would face the poison circle.Bronie thought for a moment.“If we go to the safe zone, it’s easy to be double-teamed by players from both sides. So, the most important thing is to make sure there’s no one behind us. What do you think, Gouzi?”“If I express the opposite opinion, will you scold me?”“No, why would you say that?”“No, I want to hear Haxxor scold me.”Amazing!Bronie was amused. She hadn’t expected Gouzi to show his true colors so quickly.“You want me to scold you, but I just won’t. Isn’t this a kind of placement? So hold it in.”“Ah!?”Gouzi was disappointed, and Kyuusyou laughed happily.“Hahaha, Gouzi, you’re so embarrassed.”“Wattson, don’t you want to say something to Haxxor?”“Say something...?”Kyuusyou thought for a while.“I think it’s probably thanks to Haxxor for making so many excellent games. Although I don’t have much money and play pirated games, it really brings me a lot of happy time. For a long time, I didn’t know what I should do, but now I know!”“Oh?”“That is to save the world!”After hearing Bronie’s curious voice, Kyuusyou seemed particularly excited.When Gouzi heard this second-year answer, he laughed in the voice but quickly held it back.“Well, laugh if you want to. Not many people believe me anyway. I have witnessed the coming of the end of the world, and I will save the world in my own way!”“No, no, no, it’s actually a good idea to have this plan. Even if you can’t save everyone, helping a beggar or a child on the side of the road might be considered saving their world. So, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”“That’s what I said! Haxxor, you must understand what I mean! Although it’s a bit biased…”“I’m scanning. The fight in front is about to end. The opponent hasn’t recovered yet, so let’s rush to attack them!”Gouzi immediately ended the topic. The most important thing now was the game, not the time for motivational speeches.“Three people are fully equipped, each relying on their own abilities. I’ll throw mines into the house first.”“Okay! Each relying on their own abilities!”As Bronie threw out the gravity elevator, the three of them took off together, and the battle began.The sound of the gravity elevator alerted the opponent, but just as they were becoming alert to possible enemies around them, they used energy batteries to charge their armor.An arc star was thrown in.Closely following, three gun lines simultaneously wove a tight network in the house!“One, two... That was close, fortunately, I was better!”Just when the third enemy was dealt with, Bronie’s armor had already been broken, and her health was completely at the bottom. Only one bullet was needed to make Bronie kneel on the ground.Damn, you took all the kills, Haxxor. Do you usually practice FPS games? How can you shoot so accurately?”Kyuusyou knew at a glance that Bronie’s operation wasn’t ordinary. Although there was a certain probability of missing a shot, the chance was ridiculously low.Obviously, the health and armor of the characters in Apex were so high, but in front of Bronie, they seemed insignificant.Although headshots do cause greater damage to the opponent, it was really difficult to land them in this game.“When physical fitness reaches a certain level, the reaction speed improves, and this kind of thing becomes easy!”“Shouldn’t you replenish your status before chatting? Your health is really dangerous. If another team comes after us, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced without you.”Gouzi reminded her, and Bronie naturally did it.“Using the Phoenix Healing Pack…”Zi——“Damn! There’s a Charge Rifle!”Suddenly, the character knelt on the ground, and Bronie felt as though her heart had stopped for a moment.The main reason is that...In the distance, the player who used Charge Rifle spoke in the voice chat, “Kevin, Bronie was knocked down by me. Now let’s have some fun with Bronie!”“You... used the ability of foresight?”“Yes, Kebin, we were defeated by Bronie last time. This time, we have to get our revenge, don’t you agree, Kalpas?”“That’s right, I won’t lose again this time!”
