CHIH 131-140

Chapter 131: To fight the Honkai, Bishop, Please Abdicate!

The phrase "heart palpitations" from Bronie wasn't actually the accelerated heartbeat she expected. Bronie couldn't help but feel annoyed that Durandal seemed so indifferent, especially when she had feelings for Rita.

Why didn't she have the same feelings for other girls? Could it be that the Kaslana's yuri genes hadn't awakened yet!? Or was it that only companionship was the longest confession?

However, Rita was far ahead in this regard.

Thinking of this, Bronie couldn't help but sigh and then continued the battle. Holding the long spear made for her younger sister, Sin, and clashing with Durandal's Eternal Silence Helel.

The long spear made from Soulium excavated by the Schicksal in the Mariana Trench clashed with the flashy gear-like long spear, bursting into fierce sparks.

This scene made Durandal frown.

Her weapon was the pinnacle of Schicksal's technology, so how could it be inferior?

Seeing the flawless long spear after the collision left Durandal puzzled. It was like a high-tech weapon colliding with a handmade one, yet the handmade one emerged unscathed, leaving her perplexed.

But the pace of battle didn't allow Durandal to dwell on these questions too much.

Bronie's elegant and precise combat stance with the long spear showcased her versatile style. Durandal began to doubt if she had been slacking off during her training at the Schicksal headquarters.

After all, Bronie claimed to be just a game producer. How could a game producer be such a skilled fighter?

And this long spear... whether it was an illusion or not, there seemed to be a strong recoil force every time it collided.

"You say you can't fight yet this!"

Even with a broad mind, Durandal couldn't stop Bronie's agile movements. Watching Bronie teleport and disappear from time to time, she resembled a quantum shadow or a shadow of trampling.

"This combat ability is actually learned from Kallen's hands. I can only perform like this. If it were you, you could definitely do better. Haven't you noticed?"

"Noticed what?"

"Noticed that this long spear isn't as simple as it seems!"

The sharp spear suddenly accelerated, and Durandal instinctively blocked it.

But after the long spear was blocked, Bronie swiftly changed her move, slashing Durandal's fragrant shoulder.

Then, another force struck, causing Durandal to notice that the blood flowing from her pierced shoulder seemed to float in the air as if it had lost gravity.

No, it should be said it was in slow motion.

Temporal fracture?

No, it wasn't like that.

Durandal had encountered Schicksal's temporal fracture system quite often, and this clearly wasn't the same.

Watching Bronie's figure accelerate again, Durandal used up her remaining strength to block for the last time. But this time, the long spear slipped from her hand, and even her combat stance couldn't hold steady. Then the long spear, like a dragon, aimed straight for her throat.

Upon closer inspection, Bronie had almost no injuries on her body.

"While you're still young, I'll take this opportunity to bully you a bit. You still have a lot of room to grow in the future. Let's end this match here."

The strength of the spear was impressive. Made with using the Roman Cancel effects in the Guilty Gear, it brought many surprises to Bronie in battle.

Whether it was the Roman Cancel during defense, which will send the opponent flying, or the sudden cancelation during an attack, it was extremely powerful in battles against both humans and Honkai Beasts.

Of course, a more powerful spear wouldn't be suitable for Sin. After all, Sin was just a seemingly fragile girl. Bronie made the long spear to provide Sin with a self-defense weapon when she was outside. A weapon too powerful, without the ability to use it, would only harm the user.

"Thanks for the match."

Seeing Bronie no longer interested in fighting, Durandal also came to her senses, and the battle had ended.

Looking at Bronie's outstretched hand with mixed feelings, Durandal grabbed it and stood up. Then, she followed Bronie back to the orphanage.

She still felt a sense of unreality, but her injuries still faintly aching were constantly reminding Durandal of her failure.

"Sorry, Miss Jingwei, my Valkryie Battlesuit may..."

Upon returning, she saw Fu Hua holding Fuxi coming out. Upon seeing her, Fu Hua wore a worried expression, Durandal felt unexpectedly cherished.

Yes, now Durandal looked quite pathetic. All her Valkryie Battlesuit had turned into Valkryie Battlesuit fragments, hanging on her body with only sports underwear, and her almost mature but still young fruit was more conspicuous than Fu Hua's.

"Victory and defeat are common in warfare. You just need to remember this failure and strive to move forward."

"In fact, the Valkryie Battlesuit was just hacked by me, not much damage. Let's end it here."

"After unlocking the data, your Valkryie Battlesuit naturally restored itself."

At this point, Seele nearby took out a medical kit and began to apply iodine to Durandal's wounds.

"I see... I'll talk to the Overseer about being vigilant against the possibility of the Valkryie Battlesuit being hacked, although most Honkai Beasts wouldn't have that ability."

"In the previous civilization, after the birth of the 12th Herrscher, she manipulated nuclear bombs and launched it at the last three shelters of the previous era. Otto should be aware of this."

"Ah!?"

Durandal was slightly stunned, then the pain from the iodine application on her wound made her tremble involuntarily.

"Sorry, I accidentally hurt you..."

"No, that's just a reflex, and your actions are very gentle, it's not that painful."

Seeing Durandal's gentle smile, Seele's heart fluttered.

Bronya became nervous and hurried to Seels's side.

Well, it seems that Bianka's flirting skills are not active, but passive. Perhaps this is the result of the Kaslana lineage combined with the Schariac lineage? Seeing this, Bronie felt speechless.

Well, let the kids do as they please, as long as they don't start fighting each other or killing each other.

Although Durandal is usually dull, she is honest and clear-headed about many things.

After all, even in the Schicksal headquarters, Durandal has many little fans, so she had to be prepared for the possibility of this situation when she let Bianka into her orphanage.

It just came a bit suddenly, and Bronie was a bit unable to accept that all of this was because of herself because she left injuries on Durandal. But fortunately, the gold goalkeeper Bronya was working hard to block Durandal's passive attacks!

Then, the usually timid Nina expressed her desire to become a Valkyrie the next day.

Goodness, besides coming here to fight, does Durandal also have a recruiting task?

Bronie immediately stated that she would not allow the children to have contact with Schicksal under any circumstances unless Otto no longer served as the Archbishop of Schicksal.

Because Otto is really capable of anything, maybe he will use the children to threaten her into working for him.

At that time, Durandal wanted to directly refute Bronie, but then Bronie slapped her face with a bunch of information.

The actual combat situation of the Second Honkai and the fact that Celestial Jingwei was used by Otto to explore the so-called Honkai God were all thrown out.

The losses caused by the Second Honkai shouldn't have been so great. It was all because Otto insisted on sending Sirin to the moon, which caused a disaster.

And Fu Hua lost her good disciple, but at that time, Fu Hua had already used the first-rated power of Fenghuang Down, burning her brain and falling into a coma.

At that time, Durandal was full of disbelief, but with the documents from AE and Schicksal, all the confidential information was revealed.

From a logical point of view, it was indeed highly credible.

Coupled with Tesla and Einstein's accusations against Otto, the issues with the former First Herrschers, and Edison's affairs, Otto's once glamorous figure seemed to have changed somewhat in front of Durandal.

Later, Bronie said that Schicksal indeed made significant contributions to fighting the Honkai, and she also agreed with Schicksal's ideology of fighting for all the beauty in the world. It's just that this guy Otto, he's not trustworthy.

In order to prevent more children from being fooled into joining Schicksal, Bronie endured for three days before throwing Durandal out.

There was no choice, Durandal always pestered her for combat advice, didn't she? Or always wanted to get some equipment from her, so that when put into Schicksal, it could be researched and mass-produced, and then used to fight the Honkai.

Bronie was also soft-hearted and couldn't help but give her a device specifically for battlefield treatment.

This thing was transformed from Mobius' design, with contributions from Vill-V.

It was actually nano-healing solvent, which could ensure that Valkyries could retain their lives on the battlefield even after suffering fatal injuries. Otto deserved to die a thousand times, but Schicksal's Valkyries were different.

After all, they were also frontline fighters, and it felt pitiful if they died.

So out of care for the Valkyries, Bronie came up with this technology and also said that they were working on solving the issue of the artificial stigma's damage to Valkyrie's bodies.

Perhaps retired Valkyries wouldn't have to die directly at forty, and there might be hope for a normal lifespan.

Durandal was also aware that this was the best gift for Schicksal, if Otto was really as Bronie said, he had done so many terrible things.

When Otto was living in the orphanage with her, as the attending physician, he told her stories about Medea and also said that if he were discovered to be similar with Medea, please don't sympathize with him.

If this was true, then everything made sense.

However, Durandal kept this matter to herself and left the orphanage with Fu Hua.

Of course, on the way back to Schicksal, there was also a lively ELF named Book of Fuxi. She was like an old mother, circling around Fu Hua, caring about this and that, and especially taking care of Fu Hua's diet.

Fu Hua's surroundings gradually became lively, and Durandal noticed that Fu Hua's smile seemed to have increased a bit.

Well, the Fu Hua she had seen before was always dull and cold, as if she had a very heavy mission weighing on her.

And after Fuxi became lively, Fu Hua seemed to relax a lot.

Teacher Haxxor is really a mysterious person to Durandal.

She always seemed very cheerful, and she also had a very clear goal in her heart. The games she produced were popular, and her combat power was extraordinary. It gave people a feeling of omnipotence.

Even the problem of the Bubble World on her body, Bronie could accurately provide solutions, although it was quite troublesome to implement. It still had to rely on the power of the Herrscher of the Void, or directly find the Second Divine Key, Cosmic Juggernaut.

"Welcome back, my old friend, and Bianka."

Back at Schicksal headquarters, Mr. Otto immediately came to greet them, giving off a very dignified aura.

"Sorry, Bishop, I still lost. This time, whether it was normal combat or close combat, I lost. My Valkryie Battlesuit was hacked by Haxxor Bunny, losing its original functions."

"You even lost in close combat?"

Hearing Durandal's report, Otto was obviously a bit surprised. If the Valkryie Battlesuit was hacked, it meant that there wasn't much data left, so he could only rely on Durandal's report to judge what methods Haxxor Bunny used.

"I even lost in close combat."

"That's really... impressive." Otto didn't know what else to say. Perhaps there really are geniuses like this in the universe, and he was lucky enough to meet such a genius.

"So, old friend, what do you think?"

"Regarding Haxxor Bunny's determination to fight against the Honkai, there is no doubt, and everyone in Elysian Realm trusts her very much, she is also a good person."

"Yes, a good person."

A good person, after knowing his situation, how would she treat him?

Otto's mood became complicated, after repeatedly testing Haxxor Bunny, he had a deeper understanding of what kind of person she really was.

Otto couldn't stand it when things were not under his control. Because when variables appeared, his goals might encounter a lot of obstacles. Otto had a very clear awareness of himself, usually for the sake of achieving his goals, he would often choose a easier and more convenient shortcut.

As everyone knows, the most profitable methods are all written in the law, and for the sake of achieving his goals, Otto would often do heinous things which good people couldn't stand.

Moreover, there's The Elation meddling along the way...

Otto felt even more anxious, and then Durandal asked a question that made Otto's blood pressure rise even more.

"By the way, Overseer, when do you plan to retire, and who will be the next Archbishop?"

Goodness, Haxxor Bunny must have told Bianka something!

Could it be that in the future, Bianka will say even more outrageous things! Such as 'For the sake of all humanity, for the sake of fighting the Honkai, Overseer, please abdicate!'

Chapter 132: Invitation from the the

Masked Fool's Tavern

After Bianka returned to Schicksal with Fu Hua, Otto expressed a minor protest to Bronie.

After all, Bronya had spoken ill of Otto in front of Durandal, so Otto had the right to protest.

But he never denied the wrongdoings he had committed, and Bronie just brushed off his protests.

In any case, neither side could do much to the other. Bronie had simply unveiled Otto's true nature beforehand, so even if he did ultimately become Medea, what else could be said?

It could only be said that he died well, with a few words of praise at the funeral, followed by a drink or two at Anti Entropy's party, and finally a few words with Tesla.

To be honest, Bronie was more interested in the current game than in Otto's experiments.

This time, the game Bronie made was called "Outer Wilds," a puzzle story set in space.

If you were familiar with the game, you could complete it in no more than ten minutes, but if you truly explored it, it could take about fifty hours.

Bronie made the game entirely by herself, and Bronya occasionally came to check on the progress, but Bronie said that to avoid affecting the gaming experience, it was better not to come and see, otherwise, the game would lose a lot of its fun.

Bronya was full of doubts, but could only wait patiently.

Later, Rosalia and Lilia also released the game "Just Dance" under the name of the orphanage.

The copyright for the songs was handled by Miss Cioara, while the choreography was done by Eden, Cioara, and others.

Bronie could understand that Eden could dance, but it was a bit hard to imagine Cioara dancing.

Although Miss Raven claimed that this was a necessary skill to learn when doing mercenary missions, Bronie couldn't help feeling a bit skeptical.

Miss Raven cut off contact with Bronya right after and said that learning choreography was really just for infiltration.

There was a feeling of trying to cover up something which made Bronie quite amused.

After some twists and turns, it was already the second half of 2012.

The existence of the Genesis System provided everyone in the orphanage with an opportunity to freely express themselves.

But even with this opportunity, it was quite difficult to create a real game for them.

If it weren't for Bronie's experience in making games, "Just Dance" wouldn't know how long it would be delayed.

And most of the children lost their enthusiasm, and the main production of the game fell on Bronya.

But there was no other way, they couldn't put such a flop game under the name of Haxxor Bunny, could they?

In this way, Haxxor Bunny's reputation would really be tarnished, and whenever some games were mentioned in the future, people would complain about "Just Dance."

So, in order to prevent her sister Bronie from being criticized on the internet and to avoid leaving a stain on her perfect resume, Bronya decided to bear it all.

Then Bronya's first game hit the streets..

It spent a lot for copyright issues and even spent a lot of money.

There was money from Bronie, from Cioara, and of course, Bronya also invested some money.

Fortunately, the people from Schicksal and AE still gave some help and recommended the game to some rehabilitation centers and sanatoriums, allowing the patients inside to stretch their bodies a bit.

So, this game, reluctantly, couldn't be considered a total loss.

The main loss was still the copyright issue. With the Genesis System developed by Bronie, the cost of making games was reduced to a terrifying level.

This resulted in very few employees in the Haxxor Bunny Studio who were actually engaged in game development work, with the vast majority working in promotion and bug fixing.

Specifically maintaining games like Apex, Elden Ring, and the Titanfall.

There were also a few people responsible for developing DLCs for games, but Bronya didn't choose to provide the Genesis System to them.

After all, Bronie felt that for today's human society, the Genesis System was a bit too advanced, and their ability to keep it secret was worrying. When it was released, a bunch of capitalists smelling the scent would cause trouble all day long. To be honest, it was quite annoying to deal with.

Although there were rumors on the internet that Haxxor Bunny had mastered an efficient way of making games, as long as Bronya didn't admit it, and no news was released, all speculations couldn't become reality.

Just as Bronie was hesitating whether "Just Dance" was a flop or a money maker, Bronya started to release new trailers online.

...

The familiar Haxxor Bunny Studio logo appeared.

After that, the deep giant star hung high in the sky, and you could still see the explosion happening around the huge alien space station above the deep giant star.

Looking down, a chubby alien, resembling a diver, began to play the banjo.

And our protagonist, holding a stick with marshmallows on the end, slowly caramelized them over the fire in front of him.

After putting the marshmallows into his mouth, the protagonist turned and left, walking past the entrance, where his spaceship was being sucked into the sea full of waterspouts.

Without hesitation, the protagonist plunged into the waterspout, following the footsteps of his spaceship.

Next came the deep and desolate space, with various planets and ships flying into the sun.

Exploration always comes with danger, but the various bizarre scenery also makes people unable to help but stop and stare. However, with the explosion of the protagonist's ship, everything returned to the scene of roasting marshmallows by the campfire and gazing at the stars.

The banjo began to play again, sounding so lonely.

Exploration, puzzles, and the unique melody of the banjo made it seem like Bronya was presenting a whole new piece of art to netizens.

["The will to pioneer can start with a game."]

In the final ending, Bronya left this sentence as a conclusion.

Those who know what the Aeon is also understand that Haxxor Bunny is trying to guide people into their Paths.

However, those who know the Aeon also know that the Aeon Akivilli is already dead, and no one knows what will happen when they step into their Path.

["Bronie! Bronie! My favorite Bronie! Look at what games you've made! A game centered on the will to explore!? Why not make a fun game! Aha, how embarrassing!"]

After releasing the game online, Bronie prepared to take a break first and then play the game with Bronya later.

Aha's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, startling Bronya.

"When the will to explore becomes a game, isn't that the most adventurous fun?"

["HAha! Aha loves your explanation! And Aha loves the little sprite that secretly blew up the spaceship in Dark Bramble! It reminds Aha of the time when Aha blew up the Astral Express!"]

Well, that answer was acceptable too. If Aha wasn't happy, who knows if he would blow up the Elysian Realm.

"As long as you're happy."

What else could Bronya say?

["Aha is definitely happy, and of course, Aha brought a gift. Aha is going to play games now, so I won't stay here!"]

After speaking, a gift box fell from Bronya's desk.

Looking at the tightly wrapped gift box, Bronie dared not breathe heavily for fear.

What to do now?

First, take the gift box to a place where no one was around, and then open it by hand.

Bronya slowly untied the ribbon on the gift box and then gently lifted the lid.

Inside, there was another gift box.

Very much in the style of the Elation.

Bronya patiently continued to untie the ribbon and opened the lid again.

Another gift box!

After unpacking thirty gift boxes in a row, Bronya's heart was almost numb, and finally, the gift box shrank from the size of a host computer to the size of a palm.

Just as Bronya's patience was about to disappear, she finally managed to open the gift box.

Like a compressed file, as soon as the gift box was opened, a cute bunny mask popped out, and under the mask, there was a note.

["The Tavern always welcomes your arrival, sisters watched by the Lord of Elation. Put on the mask and come to Epsilon. Here you will find everything you want to see. All brothers and sisters of the tavern are happy to share the fun they see! PS: The game is well done, make more!"]

Okay, I didn't expect someone to urge for updates across the universe.

This made Bronie somewhat amused, but Bronie suspected that there must be an Aha among the members of the tavern. Otherwise, how could the invitation from the tavern be delivered to her?

The Aeon has its divine side, but also its mortal side. According to Bronie's understanding, the mortal side of the Elation is probably more prominent.

And an Aeon who values the process, how could he not choose to participate in this great drama of saving the world?

So Bronya suspected that Aha must have incarnated as a mortal, but she didn't know where he was wandering in this world. Maybe when the final battle begins, he will participate in a very reasonable identity.

Reasonable enough that she might only realize it at the end.

But after thinking for a long time and not coming up with a result, Bronie was too lazy to bother about it.

Bronie also checked the mask again. In essence, this thing was just a mobile phone. Apart from covering one's identity when worn on the face, it also had an identity verification function.

The so-called The Tavern probably had a very close connection with Elation, and everyone inside probably walked on the path of Elation.

But was she walking on the Path of Elation herself?

Forget it, she is too lazy to think about so many things, and the most important thing is that the people in the Elation Tavern probably didn't realize that there is no signal under the Cocoon of Finality!

Even the influence of the so-called Interastral Peace Corporation did not reach here, which also proved that the Akivilli had never been here.

So now the mask was just a mask, without any additional functions.

But it is said that the Genius Society can reproduce things like the Synthesia Beacon based on the original data, which can break through any language barriers and make communication between different civilizations in the universe easy.

Bronya thought that maybe that thing could be installed on this mask.

Later, after putting on the mask, Bronya realized that she needed to be connected to the internet and even buy VIP!

How unexpected.

But it's quite reasonable, but Bronie doesn't have the currency issued by the Interastral Peace Corporation, so recharging and the like are even more ridiculous.

So what now?

Just keep the mask as a souvenir, pretending it's a mask of the Shadowkahn Legion, and tell the children in the orphanage a story about 12 Talismans.

Bronie looks forward to the day when a curious child sneaks to get the mask and then gets scared by the program she set!

Bronie calmly returned to the orphanage, estimating that Bronya was now playing the new game in her room.

"Sister Bronie! You can come in directly."

Bronie knocked on Bronya's room door, and Bronya responded directly, but Bronie still felt that she should give Bronya a little more privacy.

"Have all the games been downloaded? Have you got the launch keys?"

"Yes, Bronya has completed the newbie tutorial, but Bronya never expected that the sun in this game only has twenty minutes of life left, so is the sun above our heads also finite?"

For Bronya, the idea that the sun has a lifespan is quite novel. At least until now, Bronya has never heard of such a thing.

"All things come to an end, nothing lasts forever. But don't worry, by the time the sun's life is over, our Earth's environment will no longer be suitable for survival, and by then, the humans on Earth have already left the solar system and will be searching for their new homes in the universe."

Bronie didn't expect Bronya to have already played through one round so quickly.

Now Bronya is controlling her character to enter the spaceship and look at the ship's log.

There are many instructions on it, giving many puzzles, as long as one completes them one by one, the whole story's outline will gradually become clear, eventually forming a complete story.

Because the game itself is not very large, Bronya also made DLCs as a bonus and sold them together with the main game.

But one must complete the first playthrough to have the opportunity to unlock the DLC.

After all, the DLC is very closely related to the main storyline.

"So... is our goal to save the sun?"

Bronya has many doubts in her mind. Although this universe feels a bit lacking in authenticity, Bronya can feel the loneliness in that universe.

When Bronie left her room, Bronya could muster more courage to explore this universe.

Sitting alone on the spaceship, looking at the entire solar system in confusion, while the sun is about to explode in twenty minutes, and she can't find a solution.

And more importantly, why did she reincarnate twenty minutes ago, she has no idea at all.

"To save it? Let's explore slowly. I'll accompany you. After all, the beginning of exploration is always a bit lonely, but with each encounter, there will always be some bonds left behind. So don't fear the future, there are many interesting places in the universe!"

Chapter 133 Outer Wilds - The Story of the Nomai

Before Durandal entered the Sea of Quanta, Otto had already heard the story of Haxxor Bunny's experiences in a Bubble World.

She mentioned that she would turn it into a game and put it online, assuring everyone would love it.

However, upon seeing the game titled Outer Wilds and entering it, and witnessing that merely wearing a spacesuit jetpack could directly propel one out of the atmosphere, Otto seriously doubted the authenticity of Bronie's claims.

Nevertheless, after obtaining the launch key of the spaceship and venturing into the boundless space, witnessing planets orbiting the sun and comets streaking across the sky, leaving long trails in the universe, Otto also grew immensely curious.

The universe, that unknown expanse, was indeed beautiful...

However, just as Otto was preparing to explore the nearby Giant's Deep, a soothing and prolonged background music suddenly began playing.

Strange, could something have happened?

Suddenly, Otto remembered Bronie's earlier mention that the Star System was constantly maintaining a twenty-minute cycle, with the sun repeatedly exploding, then recovering, and then exploding again.

Subsequently, Otto hastily maneuvered the spacecraft and directed his gaze towards the sun.

The sun began to shrink gradually, and after contracting to a point, it expanded rapidly!

Though space appeared vast, the explosion of the sun swiftly, albeit somewhat slowly, seemed to envelop the entire solar system.

The sluggishness was due to the immense expanse of the universe, causing the expanding sun to appear somewhat slow as it continued to spread.

And the rapidity was because the spacecraft had nowhere to escape; regardless of how fast it traversed through space, it couldn't elude the expanding sun.

Ultimately, the spacecraft was engulfed by the firelight, and the protagonist woke up again by the bonfire, witnessing the space station on the Deep Giant Star explode once more.

It felt like everything was a dream.

Otto controlled the character and attempted to roast another marshmallow over the fire, but it caught fire and instantly turned into charcoal. After the protagonist ingested it, he couldn't help but gag.

Well, Otto hadn't succeeded in roasting the marshmallow properly last time.

Perhaps it was because it was too close to the fire.

However, the explosion of the sun did indeed pose a puzzle to everyone.

Furthermore, this time, when the protagonist directly initiated the spacecraft, the companion next to the bonfire would inquire about why he knew the password.

In essence, the protagonist's death was not simply a resurrection according to the game rules, but a return to the past.

Of course, the game's guidance was also excellent. Each time they reached a planet, the navigation log inside the spaceship would update, describing many puzzles that couldn't be understood and summarizing them all.

As all the clues were collected, the puzzles of the entire solar system, the issue of the sun exploding, the intentions of the Nomai people, and the matter of the so-called Quantum Moon would all be revealed.

Otto gradually became immersed, while Miss Amber grew increasingly worried.

There was no way around it; who made Otto the Schicksal Archbishop?

She could only offer suggestions, as it was absolutely impossible for her to command the Archbishop to work.

Thus, Amber could only quietly watch beside Otto, and when Otto grew thirsty, she had to fetch water herself.

"Amber."

"Your Grace, there are still many documents for you to process."

"Documents are not important. I just feel having you by my side is truly wonderful."

Instantly, Amber's face flushed.

No, why would Your Grace say such a thing!?

"This game, when played alone, always evokes a very lonely feeling. I must say, Bronie really excelled in creating the atmosphere. If it weren't for you standing by my side, I fear I would be deeply affected by this loneliness."

The stars were lonely, the universe was vast; it was only after experiencing this game that one could truly comprehend the loneliness among the stars.

It made one hesitate and lose patience.

But with someone by your side, it was different.

Of course, there would also be some individuals who would become enamored with the feeling of exploring the universe alone. Everyone's personalities were different, yet when faced with this game, they all inevitably became addicted.

Why did the sun explode?

Why did time rewind?

What experiences did the Nomai undergo in the past?

And that Ghost Matter, why did it appear out of nowhere in the Nomai's civilization, and why did they encounter such occurrences?

With exploration and puzzle-solving, more and more mysteries arose.

Crossing oceans, flying through storms, journeying to the depths of planets, facing the Anglerfish in the Dark Bramble, and encountering the little green skins that would attack the spacecraft after docking in specific locations.

The green skins were later added by Bronie, mainly to recreate a wave of joyful explosions in the starry sky and to provide players with a slightly different surprise, making them experience how Aha blew up the Astral Express.

When all the puzzles were solved, when all the goals were determined.

The last twenty minutes will be the most thrilling and competitive cycle ever.

Because players need to obtain the device that allows them to travel back twenty minutes, and once they acquire it, death will permanently end the game.

Advancing along the planned route, heading to the deepest part of Dark Bramble, the Nomadic people's spaceship, and finally using the coordinates found in previous cycles to activate the Nomai's final spaceship to reach the interior of the so-called Eye of the Universe.

After entering the Eye of the Universe, everything will be reset, and a vibrant universe will be reborn.

In the midst of that universe, all the extraterrestrial beings encountered during the journey gather around the bonfire, playing the theme song of the game.

In that originally lonely melody, the ensemble creates an extraordinary effect.

Everyone sits together to celebrate the protagonist's arrival at the Eye of the Universe, and as the protagonist finds them, they gather around the bonfire to roast marshmallows, marking the end of the game.

Above the bonfire, there is a void resembling a quantum satellite, and diving into it leads to the final conclusion.

Otto controls the protagonist to fly into it, and then everything in front of him rapidly shrinks, from forests, to planets, to the solar system and the galaxy!

Finally forming a point, bursting into a dazzling light!

And the protagonist is completely torn apart by the shock of the explosion, losing all ability to move.

A new universe gradually takes shape, rejuvenating the once declining universe, just like the passing on of the torch through generations.

The rolling credits list, except for Haxxor Bunny, there is only Haxxor Bunny, nothing else.

There have long been doubts online, but no one can prove that what Haxxor Bunny said is false.

After the credits, the spaceship's log opens, revealing a new puzzle.

[Who blocked the signal emitted by the Eye of the Universe?]

And there are more clues at the place where the spaceship launch code is obtained.

These are hints that have never appeared in the game before, a photo of the solar system clearly showing the appearance of every planet, but with an inexplicable shadow in the upper right corner of the sun.

After that, there is more investigation to be done, more things to do.

This indeed gave Otto a very big surprise. It's like...

After exploring for dozens of hours, Otto thoroughly explored every corner of the solar system, only to discover that there are still many secrets in this solar system!

Timber Hearth, the protagonist's home planet, and all the secrets actually started from a photo, an observation satellite, and an observation station.

...

"Once again, she has created a masterpiece, Haxxor Bunny... really..."

In the Elysian Realm, Eden swayed the wine glass in his hand, and Elysia accompanied Eden, who had just reacted from the cosmic explosion.

Because this time they were playing a single-player game, Elysia's plan was to move the computer next to Eden and experience it together, while also having a chat.

But who would have thought that as they played, they both became immersed in it, and with the data memory body not needing sleep, they spent a full two days, during which there was almost no communication.

However, Elysia progressed relatively quickly in the game, so after entering the Eye of the Universe, new plotlines unlocked, and Elysia waited for Eden to also arrive at the end of the universe.

"It's really a romantic game, isn't it?"

"Yes, when we gaze at the stars, they're there, so distant yet so magical. Each planet is designed so interestingly, but I can't help but doubt if there really is such a Bubble World in the Sea of Quanta."

Eden heard from Bronie that this story was rewritten based on a Bubble World in the Sea of Quanta.

"In fact, the ending of that Bubble World might not be as good as in the game because of that so-called Ghost Matter."

At this moment, it seems that Vill-V came to the lounge for a walk, taking a stroll outside always helps relieve the pressure. Looks like she is currently The Conductor.

"Why do you say that?"

Elysia naturally knew about this Ghost Matter, which caused the destruction of the Nomai.

If the protagonist approached, there would be a very obvious feeling of coldness, and direct contact could even lead to death.

"Bronie has said before that the Sea of Quanta is extremely dangerous, and some Bubble Worlds may be attacked by external forces and prematurely enter destruction. Although the forms are different, the data on the solar station indicates that the Star should have a lifespan of one billion years, but now it seems to have prematurely entered the end of its lifespan."

Vill-V has always been very sensitive to data, especially the data directly provided on the solar station, which clearly states that the sun should have a lifespan of one billion years, but now it seems to have prematurely entered a state of destruction.

Undoubtedly, the explosion of the sun did indeed end in the form of a star's last cries, the end of its lifespan, but whether there was any external force involved is unknown.

Perhaps this is also the self-rescue process of the Eye of the Universe?

"Ah~ I see, I'm really curious now. What kind of choice did Bronie make in the end? But..."

"But this Ash Twin Project, why didn't Bronie study it more and collect more data?"

Vill-V's complaint is understandable.

After all, for scientists, achieving time travel through scientific techniques is something that has driven countless scientists crazy.

For Otto, it also has a very terrifying attraction. Just one sun can go back twenty minutes?

With so many stars in the galaxy, if enough are collected, can it be done in five hundred years?

Can it be done in fifty thousand years?

"I've asked similar questions!" Elysia said.

"What did she say?"

Vill-V was very curious.

"She said that the laws inside each Bubble World may actually change, some have specific laws, and Bronie said she observed that the solar system inside the Bubble World is constantly being destroyed and restored, not so much time travel as she thought."

"Ah~" Vill-V suddenly realized, well, games don't represent reality, and according to the game's playability, artistic processing is often the case.

What the Bubble World inside the Sea of Quanta is really like, I'm afraid only Bronie who saw in person knows.

And this Eye of the Universe, maybe it's the legendary Ether Anchor!

I didn't expect that some Bubble Worlds would have such Ether Anchors, and in order to continue their existence, they would undergo annihilation.

This is an opportunity created by two races, and in the actions of the third race, redemption for the universe is achieved.

As for which three? Nomai, The Strangers , and the Hearthians represented by the protagonist.

"The game is really well done, and now I really want to design a spaceship that can travel through the universe with Bronie."

Vill-V wants to reward Bronie, but Bronie said she wants a train that can travel in the universe in the future, with the rear carriage specifically for traveling companions, and the more companions she encounters, the longer the train becomes.

At first, Vill-V thought this was too troublesome, completely making things according to Bronie's preferences, which didn't quite fit Vill-V's principles of making things.

Vill-V's inventions are all based on passion. She only does what she likes and is interested in.

To be honest, she has already made the Second Divine Key, The Cosmic Juggernaut before, and Vill-V hasn't had much interest in them for a long time, so she doesn't plan to make them for Bronie.

But now, Bronie's game has successfully aroused Vill-V's desire to explore the universe, and this desire is very strong!

From the memories of not knowing where she was thrown, Vill-V found the design drawings of Cosmic Juggernaut, but first she stored them temporarily and waited until the resurrection plan was truly implemented before giving them to Bronie.

After all, making that thing would consume quite a few resources.

"The Nomai are rational and optimistic. When the universe is about to come to an end, and the Eye of the Universe emits waves to attract even the people outside of the Universe, they rushed to the scene without hesitation. Even if the spaceship crashes, they will develop in place, seeking the only plan to save the universe. Bronie has brought us a very brave and exploratory story that deeply moved us. I'm starting to look forward to what will happen next. To be honest, I don't think there will be much sequel after the game ends."

Eden heard Vill-V's decision and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Yes, Vill-V's curiosity has been aroused, and so has hers.

Although the universe is vast, scanning each planet with a scanner every time a common song is played on different planets, isn't this also a kind of romance?

The whole game, whether in terms of story or puzzle solving, is filled with romance, except for Anglerfish, of course.

...

In the teacher's office of the St. Freya Academy, Welt sat quietly broadcasting in front of the computer. "So, let's see what Haxxor Bunny wants to say to us after this complete story."

Chapter 134: Another Reward from the Elation Aeon

After completing the first cycle of the game, Welt thought the game would end there. But little did he know, after entering the Eye of the Universe, there was still another surprise waiting.

Returning to the game menu, he noticed the option for "New Game+." Upon selecting it, he found himself in the familiar deep space, witnessing the explosion of the space station once again. And there, by the comforting bonfire, he embarked on the new game.

However, in this new game, the protagonist found that the launch code he knew seemed to be incorrect. Consequently, he had to return to the original space center to observe the launch code.

While on the way to the space center, passing by the museum downstairs, he noticed a photo of the entire solar system. However, there seemed to be a shadow on the photo, representing a new celestial body beyond all known solar system planets.

After obtaining the correct launch code and returning to the spaceship, he found that all the logs from the previous cycle were still intact. But to his surprise, a new puzzle had emerged in addition to the existing entries: the mystery of the shadow seen in the museum.

Following the clues and locating the specific coordinates where the photo was taken, Welt also spotted the mysterious shadow. It conveniently obscured the sun.

Summoning his courage, Welt flew towards the shadow. As darkness gradually enveloped his vision, he finally saw what was hidden within the darkness: a massive space station!

No, judging by the scale of the planets in the entire game, it appeared to be some kind of artificial world roughly the size of a planet.

Docking his spaceship inside, Welt discovered that the technology within was highly sensitive to light. Using the flashlight on his spacesuit, he could activate various mechanisms, such as the main gate of the entire space station.

Entering through the gate and passing through darkness, everything suddenly became clear. It was a spacious and vibrant environment, completely different from the architecture of the Nomai. It seemed to be a circular world built by another alien race, resembling a gigantic wheel. The edge of the wheel served as living quarters, while a massive river flowed along it endlessly.

As Welt floated along the river on a light-controlled wooden raft, he couldn't help but marvel at Bronie's exquisite design.

"I have to say, Bronie has never disappointed in designing scenes, whether it's the Twin Planets or the intruders. It's all very impressive. And within these twenty minutes, I'm sure the interior of the space station will undergo some special changes. So, before we explore, let's take a quick look around this space station along the river," Welt remarked.

The game continued, with exploration at its core. This process might be lengthy, but exploring with curiosity always made one forget about time.

Bronya also played the game quickly. Bronya said that watching videos would detract from the fun of the game. To learn and explore, knowledge was the only way to unlock the mysteries of the universe.

After entering the Eye of the Universe for the second time, Bronya truly understood why her sister never let her watch when she was making the game. Because after truly starting to play this game, the shock brought by the game could be enjoyed, in the end, could only be described in two words: romantic.

"Sister Bronie, I've finished the game!" Bronya exclaimed.

When Bronya entered the Eye of the Universe for the second time, at the bonfire at the end of the universe, there was another Deerhead alien playing again.

In the echoes of the second cycle of the game, as the exploration deepened, the protagonist needed three passwords to unlock the final puzzle. However, the passwords had already been destroyed. The real way to solve the puzzle was the knowledge learned during the exploration.

"The secret to unlocking these three passwords is to learn to face the void, face fear, and face death. This is also my understanding of the fate of The Elation. I wonder if Aha will be satisfied with this explanation," Bronie pondered aloud.

"To face the void, fear, and death..." Bronya reflected.

In the past, Bronya didn't quite understand death. In her concept, death meant dying, the end of life, with nothing afterward. But with more knowledge and connections, Bronya couldn't view death the same way as before. Bronie indeed developed a fear of death and also a respect for it.

"[How about this, let you be the Elation?]

Aha suggested, dropping a red mask, undoubtedly the very iconic mask Aha wore.

"Don't, I'm not really interested in becoming a Aeon. Quickly take it back, take it back!"

[Hahaha! Aha is being rejected, how embarrassing! But Aha has decided to reward Bronya with something!]

As Aha spoke, a game cartridge dropped in front of Bronie.

The game cartridge looked very similar to those used for the NES, but the pictures and words on it were unfamiliar to Bronie.

"What is this?" Bronie was very curious.

The things given by the Aeon shouldn't be anything bad, right?

"I don't know, a game cartridge?"l

Aha didn't say anything else, and Bronie wasn't sure if Aha was busy.

Picking up the cartridge, Bronie had a guess in her mind.

"Maybe... I know what this is."

"What?"

"Well... Punklorde. There's a planet in the universe where the line between reality and virtuality is much blurrier than other places. In such a world, countless hackers believe that life is just a game. They wander through cyberspace, using ether editing techniques to rewrite reality. However, among these hackers, there was a genius who accidentally left his hometown, a newbie village, and arrived in the vast universe to become a legendary hacker known for upholding justice as a wandering cyber pirate. In the end, he left behind this ether cartridge, which records his life, his thoughts, everything about him."

Listening to Bronie's explanation, Bronya's eyes widened.

"Wow, let's open it and see!"

"I'm sorry, Bronya, but I currently don't know the programming language of Punklorde, nor can I understand its text. As for aether editing technology, I'm even less familiar with it. I'm more of a self-taught kind of person, so for now, this thing can only be treated as a collectible, and it might even offend some people."

"Huh? Offend who?"

"Herta from the Genius Society, for one. She's quite a big deal in the universe. And there's also the possibility of angering Silver Wolf, a wanted criminal with a bounty of several billion, who might join the Stellaron Hunters in the future. Offending two sides, truly befitting of the Elation Aeon."

If you calculate the timing, Silver Wolf is definitely still playing in Punklorde right now, but who knows what the future holds?

Bronie didn't feel much discomfort holding onto this hot potato. Instead, she was a bit excited.

Yes, this was a gift from the Aeon, very much to Bronie's taste.

A genius among geniuses, using aether editing technology to leave his hometown and become a wandering cyber pirate who upholds justice in the universe, then ending his journey under the gaze of his companions.

Everything he experienced could be incorporated into the simulated universe, becoming an essential cornerstone of the simulated real universe.

This alone was enough to illustrate the importance of this thing.

Of course, such a gift also came with hidden fun, which was probably what Aha wanted to see.

"So, Bronya, let's crack it!"

"Hmm, you can give it a try. Anyway, it won't hurt you, but I think the data inside must be very large, so be careful not to connect it to your brain and personally experience the other person's life. If you don't recognize yourself by accident, I'll be very sad."

"So, Bronie, you mean the data inside might possess Bronya's body?"

"It's possible, who knows~"

Listening to Bronie's vague answer, Bronya felt annoyed, but didn't know what to say. After all, she wasn't proficient in programming, and even less so in handling this game cartridge.

Moreover, as Bronie said, this was an ether cartridge made with ether editing technology.

What is ether?

It's the basic substance inside the Sea of Quantum.

It can resonate with various thoughts at any time and transform into something.

It can also to some extent modify reality and create reality.

This thing, Bronya couldn't touch it now.

So, Bronya reluctantly returned the cartridge to Bronie.

"When Bronya becomes powerful in the future, she'll slowly analyze these things. But, Sister Bronie, do you have such things?"

"Me? I don't know anything~" Bronie responded with a subtle smile.

Bronya wanted to pin Bronie down on the bed, tie up her limbs, and make her honestly answer.

But forget it.

She can't win.

In terms of physical development, Bronya is indeed growing, and even the signs of female growth, the monthly visits, have appeared.

But in the current situation, Bronya still feels her growth is far from enough.

This time, Bronie directly made the Outer Wilds DLC, but she didn't say it directly. It was only unlocked during the NG+.

Just when all the players thought the game was over, another surprise suddenly came up.

This caused quite a stir on the internet.

The altar fell on Bronie's head again, and this time, there weren't many players discussing the plot, but rather a unanimous focus on reading comprehension and various discussions.

Strategy?

There might be game guides, but before all the gaming guide videos, all the broadcasters unanimously advised players to personally experience the game.

Yes, Outer Wilds is such a game, no, strictly speaking, it should be considered an artwork. It perfectly demonstrates to players the romance of exploration, the usefulness of knowledge, and the unknowns of the universe.

Now, it's time to rest for a while. Bronie temporarily put the cartridge aside and opened her computer for some routine searching.

As long as it's related to Bronie, Bronya can see it.

A lot of praise!

Cool!

As for the theme of the next game, Bronie focused on the cartridge.

"I wonder how Kiana is doing. She should be able to take care of herself, right? If she really encounters a tough opponent she can't beat, Sirin should step in to help..."

With her mind in a mess, sometimes thinking about Kiana, sometimes about the ether cartridge.

But this is inevitable. Both sides are very important to Bronie. The ether cartridge involves Bronie's future understanding of the world, while Kiana involves the issue of the future Herrscher of Finality.

Finally, Bronie shifted her attention to her phone and prepared to contact Kiana.

But at that moment, AE contacted her directly.

This should be Tesla's private number.

"Hey! Bronie! Do you have any plans related to space exploration recently?"

"Whether I have any plans depends on whether I have enough resources to do it. But unfortunately, recently, the exploration plan for the Imaginary Tree has consumed a lot of my resources. It's impossible to spare more energy and resources to explore anything called 'space'."

"You, you're quite cunning! Who taught you that? And do you have the ability to develop space travel technology? Didn't you say that there's an abundance of imaginary energy outside the solar system, making it difficult to leave the solar system?"

"In fact, these are all insignificant. And I think you should have seen the magic show I performed over the Thames, right?"

"What the hell was that? Are you finally willing to tell us?"

Previously, Tesla and even Einstein had asked Bronie about it, and it definitely wasn't a magic show, but something left behind by a possible ancient civilization.

But the whole process didn't cause much of a sensation. Instead, Schicksal, like a shark smelling blood, went straight for it. In the end, Bronie and Schicksal reached some kind of unknown agreement.

Later, Welt also tried to inquire, but Bronie was very tight-lipped.

"The Second Divine Key, a part of the Cosmic Juggernaut, but that part isn't important, the core part hasn't been found yet."

"What?!"

Tesla was furious.

If there's the Cosmic Juggernaut, can't they use it to go to the so-called Cocoon of Finality on the Imaginary Tree?

Tesla and Einstein had also considered one thing, how to reach the Cocoon of Finality.

But both of them thought of using the power of the Herrscher of Finality, only now that it had turned into K423, it wasn't easy to act directly.

Siegfried wouldn't allow it, Welt wouldn't allow it, and Bronie, probably wouldn't allow it even more.

"Okay, okay, I know what you guys are thinking. Anyway, the Cosmic Juggernaut is indeed planned to be used in future space travel plans, but before dealing with the Honkai, nothing else will be considered. But why did you suddenly think of this? Is the Honkai solved? Just thinking about doing those things..."

"It's because of you! That Outer Wilds... although there are many things in it that feel very far-fetched, I have to admit, you made a good game..."

"You're playing my game instead of piloting mechs at AE HQ? Do you really think the situation inside AE is good? Recently, I found some strange places in the flow of funds in AE, and recently, the new members of AE seem to have a rogue style, and they like to cause trouble."

"You! You don't need to worry about AE's affairs! As for the issue of funds, it's just that there has been some progress in researching your so-called ether particles recently, but I accidentally consumed a little too much, that's all, it's normal capital manipulation!"

"Yeah, yeah! I hope your so-called normal capital manipulation is completely under your control."

Chapter 135: The Next Game Idea and Seele's Wish to See the Sea

Although Bronie had noticed some traces of activity within AE, overall, she couldn't discern much. AE had lost Cocolia, and there might be another Cocolia, or perhaps another something-lia.

In general, the internal affairs of AE were chaotic, but fortunately, Tesla and Einstein still wielded significant actual power. Plus, there was the elusive Mr. Welt, the mysterious Herrscher. When it came to causing trouble, the people within AE truly couldn't match Cocolia.

Kiana arrived in Nagazora City but lost track of Siegfried.

However, every time Kiana was about to give up searching for Siegfried and return to Bronie's home, Siegfried would inexplicably reveal some clues, prompting Kiana to pursue him again.

There was no way around it. Bronie said learning this was necessary, so Kiana decided to enroll directly in the local school.

Afterward, she transformed into a nocturnal knight, eliminating signs of Honkai while also searching for another nocturnal hero.

Yes, Siegfried seemed to combat crime within Nagazora City under that guise.

Nagazora City was surrounded by a massive wall, the towering Nagazora Wall, which separated the interior from the exterior. Its original purpose seemed to be to isolate Honkai.

Bronie noted that while the wall did have some effect in isolating Honkai, it actually had the opposite effect of protecting the residents.

There were still internal class conflicts within Nagazora City, becoming increasingly apparent. The internal atmosphere was worsening, with frequent occurrences of crime, resembling Gotham City.

Siegfried couldn't bear to see this and wanted to keep Kiana here, at least away from Schicksal, so he took on the role of a nocturnal Nagazora Knight, continuously fighting crime with the support of his good buddy, Raiden Ryoma, in the background.

And Kiana?

Kiana also detected Siegfried's movements and followed him at night, occasionally intervening when she saw injustices.

However, with her increased nighttime activities, she could only catch up on sleep during the day. As a result, she didn't pay attention in any of her classes.

Fortunately, Bronie had already taught Kiana a lot, so the pre-taught content helped Kiana pass her exams just above the passing line.

The teacher was very helpless about this and wanted to communicate with the parents. In response, Kiana simply handed the teacher Bronie's phone number.

As for Bronie's suggestion, it was to attend a private girls' school instead of her current one.

This way, she could meet girls at school and wouldn't be bothered by many teachers. And it would be one of those more expensive noble girls' schools.

Upon hearing about the pretty girls, Kiana immediately became excited and expressed her desire to transfer.

The teacher was speechless with anger. How could this child's parents be so irresponsible!?

But Kiana and Bronie couldn't explain anything to the teacher, as the issues of Honkai, Schicksal, and AE were still concealed.

"Do you know, Seele, next year during the New Year, Kiana won't be able to come back."

Bronie still maintained the habit of celebrating the New Year in the orphanage, and even Cioara would choose to come back for the New Year each time.

Jackal expressed extreme incomprehension.

After all, did Cioara still have family?

Grey Serpent didn't know what to say either. As long as Cioara's actions didn't affect the actions of the World Serpent, she could do whatever she wanted.

Upon hearing this news, Seele was also stunned. "Sister Kiana won't come back?"

"People, after growing up, always have things they want to do on their own. Some want to fight against Honkai, some want to travel the world. There are always things one wants to do to make life more meaningful. It's just that when we'll meet again next time, who knows when it will be."

Hearing Bronie say this, Seele felt a bit sad.

"So everyone will leave in the future, right?"

"There's no eternal feast in the world. But it's too early to think about these things now, and I won't easily leave the orphanage. It's just that in the future, the orphanage won't accept new children, so after you all grow up, this house will be empty~"

"Ah~"

Thinking of the future emptiness, Seele felt a bit lost.

After everyone had left, what kind of life would she experience? Becoming a kindergarten teacher? That seemed like a good profession.

"To be honest, after this house becomes vacant, I originally planned to leave it for Cocolia to retire in, after she comes out of prison."

"Mother Cocolia..."

Hearing this, Seele was also slightly shocked, she almost forgot about Cocolia.

Beside her were Bronie, Bronya, and Sin.

Daily life was very fulfilling.

Looking back now, although Cocolia took very good care of them, there was always an indelible sense of fear.

It was like being burdened with a mission that one had to dedicate oneself to.

Seele didn't quite like that feeling.

Bronie's arrival completely dispelled that feeling. Now that Cocolia's name came up again, Seele was also a bit curious.

"Does that mean Bronie still has some contact with Mother Cocolia?"

"Well, just a little bit, not much. She just tells her about your recent situation, how your studies are improving, how you have your own dreams now, and that you're no longer sick. It makes Cocolia happy for a long time."

Well, Seele couldn't hold it in anymore. It was true what Bronie said. Mother Cocolia really liked everyone sincerely, but her obsession with Honkai was almost pathological.

In such a situation, either she should be sent directly to a mental hospital or straight to prison, with a qualified psychologist by her side.

Considering Cocolia's combat power, she definitely couldn't be contained in a mental hospital. Plus, she had many connections.

So Bronie chose to send her to a maritime prison. It was a private prison converted from an aircraft carrier, with guaranteed security.

Sometimes it even circled around the North and South Poles to avoid the Honkai affecting the entire prison. Bronie wasn't short of money, so naturally, she would give Miss Cocolia some decent treatment.

"When is Mother Cocolia getting out?"

"She was sentenced to twenty years, but it depends on the evaluation of the psychologist. Of course, if the Honkai is eradicated within ten years, and if you all say so, then I'll definitely release her."

"Never mind, Seele understands Bronie's good intentions. And Sin hasn't said much about this matter either. Plus, Seele is also a bit curious. She wants to explore the universe with Bronie!"

Well, because of this Outer Wilds game, it indeed sparked countless players' curiosity about exploring the universe.

Bronie didn't expect that Seele, who had always dreamed of becoming a kindergarten teacher, would one day become interested in the universe.

But isn't that great?

Seele having her own dreams was also good, but Bronie still couldn't bear to see the cute, gentle Seele leave her!

"Hmm, Seele, you don't have to force yourself to say something that doesn't match your heart just to make me happy!"

Bronie said this, leaving Seele stunned.

"Seele is serious! And Seele is a bit curious. What kind of game does Bronie want to make next?"

Well, it seems like Seele has picked up some bad habits too.

She's asking for updates just a few days after resting!

Then Bronie's gaze fell on the ether cartridge that had been sitting on the desk.

"What kind of game? I think it's probably a story with a cyberpunk background..."

The cartridge was far from being fully decoded, but the cyberpunk story reminded Bronie of a rather special game: Cyberpunk 2077.

Although, at the time of its promotion, it inexplicably felt like a cyber jump god. It was delayed many times, and in the end, the game was somewhat lacking overall. Not that the game wasn't fun, but there were too many bugs that affected the experience, and the promised freedom had issues too.

But the game was filled with details, showing that the development team had put a lot of effort into it.

It was like the game was mocking capitalism.

What was even more ironic was that under the control of capitalism, the game was released before it was fully polished, and its reputation was completely smashed. There wasn't much follow-up afterward.

Bronie felt it was a pity.

She could fully draw inspiration from the Cyber Arc City where she grew up, add some understanding, and incorporate recent developments in Nagazora City and Canghai City to refine the entire game.

Cyberpunk 2077, well, Bronie knew quite a bit about the plot and many of the side details.

Making such a large game, combined with the Genesis System, would still take a very long time.

But before making the game, Bronie decided to first produce an anime as promotion.

Establishing the overall main tone and awakening AE, Schicksal, and even the whole world.

Capitalists, they truly are a group of monsters that devour people without spitting out bones.

Those things might become obstacles to the progress of human civilization in the future.

Bronie always believed that.

But one person's ability was ultimately limited. Although Bronie knew these things were bad, she could only make changes where she could.

Like with Hare Studio.

To be honest, Bronie had received several warnings already.

After all, the employees' treatment was said to be too good, which could disrupt the market order.

Then Bronie turned to Otto to resolve it, Otto passed it to Amber, and Amber passed it to Theresa.

After all, in St. Freya Academy, there was a switch experience store in the commercial district that also received complaints.

But this warning didn't pass through Theresa's hands, which made Amber suspicious if Theresa had actually dealt with the documents.

Seele carefully listened to the background story of Cyber Arc City and placed her hand on her chest.

"It feels like... not a very good story."

"It indeed won't be too pleasant, maybe very realistic. But it's precisely because in such a cruel world, there are still people who yearn for the light, that the value of human spirit is reflected. Light and shadow are always two sides of the same coin, aren't they?"

Bronie took her leg off Seele's lap, then activated the Genesis System again.

The system began to read Bronie's thoughts, while Seele saw the scenery around her start to change.

It seemed to be the top floor of a super high-end hotel suite. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows allowed one to see the entire cityscape at a glance. Countless neon lights flashed, and skyscrapers formed a steel forest.

But with floating rail trains and many flying cars, it told Seele that this was a world that looked like the future.

Countless advertisements projected into the sky, trying to occupy every corner of the sky.

The hotel's decoration was also very exquisite and luxurious. Seele could even see a lizard in the lobby.

"It feels like Bronie has been here."

The scene details here were really full. Looking up carefully, Seele could even see security watchtowers and hidden surveillance cameras. But these were ultimately projections. When Seele reached out to touch the somewhat silly-looking lizard, although the lizard reacted, she only touched emptiness.

"I can only say I have a vivid imagination, or do you want to see what the universe looks like?"

"Seele prefers the sea!"

"That's simple. Let's make do with a projection for now. In a while, I'll take everyone to the seaside for a vacation!"

Saying that, Bronie snapped her fingers, and instantly Seele found herself on an island.

"Where is this..."

"An island bought by Cioara. The scenery here is pleasant, and the villas are almost finished. Originally built to resort standards, the projection in front of you is the final result."

"Wow..."

Seele couldn't imagine how much money it would take to buy this small island. Although it might look a bit small, having a private island was really super cool!

"We'll have barbecue, play volleyball, build sandcastles, and then go diving. You can play whatever you want. After all, the money from selling the game is quite a lot. This time, Outer Wilds was made entirely by me, and after taxes, I earned quite a bit!"

"Great! Seele will definitely take Bronya to pick swimsuits! Let's all have a good time together! It would be even better if we can attract Kiana back!"

Chapter 136: Cyberpunk 2077 Online Plan

"What? You said you want to bring the kids to my little island to play? Right now, it's all construction sites up there. What's fun about that? The beach is just a deserted land, and the facilities inside are not complete. If you want to buy daily necessities, you have to go to the island thirty miles away, and the supplies there are expensive."

When Cioara heard that Bronie wanted to come to her little island for a walk, Cioara directly refused.

There's no other meaning; it's just that the renovation hasn't been completed yet, and Cioara hopes to present a more perfect and beautiful little island to Bronie.

"And to be honest, living on my little island now is like being on a deserted island. What fun could there be?"

"Well, it sounds like a pity, but you said the same thing to me a few years ago. How come there hasn't been much progress on your little island?"

"I see that I've been making quite a bit of money recently, so I thought about expanding a bit. I've filled in a little bit of the island, making it closer to the coral reef over there."

Wow, increasing sunk costs, huh?

"Have you considered the possibility of the island sinking when the Honkai erupts?"

Bronie lay on the sofa in her own office, enjoying Bronya's lap pillow, while Bronya was playing the switch enthusiastically.

Bronie had never objected to such intimacy, so naturally, they became closer and closer over time.

Bronie was a top-notch 'Bronya Enthusiat' and was very happy to enjoy Bronya's lap pillow, as she couldn't provide such service for herself. And Bronya also liked Bronie very much, the feeling of trust when she could put her head in Bronie's lap was quite nice!

Hearing Bronie's question, Cioara directly denied the possibility of the island being destroyed by the Honkai.

It's not that it's completely impossible, but she feared the so-called Murphy's Law, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. The more you talk about it, the more likely it will happen, right?

The Honkai beasts are all silicon-based creatures, so where does the so-called silicon base come from?

Sometimes, the foundation of the island does need to be more fragile. If not for this, who would sell the island cheaply?

Although this cheapness is definitely not that cheap.

"Enough! Dont jinx, every time I discuss the island with you, it never ends well. Why do I always feel like you're hoping for my island to sink?"

"I'm just preventing it in advance! If the island's foundation isn't stable, just reinforce it a bit. Anyway, money is something I can earn for you."

"So everything is based on the assumption that my island will definitely explode, right!"

Cioara really didn't want to discuss this possibility, because she really couldn't accept the idea of her island exploding.

"Need Mama Aponia to come and comfort you?"

"Get lost!"

After saying that, Cioara hung up the phone. Originally, they were discussing the possibility of using the island for tourism, but now it has turned into the possibility of the island exploding, which made Cioara very upset.

However, after hanging up the phone, Cioara felt a little regretful.

Finally, she had a few words with Bronie, why did it all turn into a discussion about the island?

Could it be that Bronie saw the possibility of the island exploding in the Quantum Sea, so she kept reminding herself to buy insurance?

On careful thought, it might be true!

So Cioara quickly found Jackal and asked what insurance she should buy for the island.

As a result, Jackal said she didn't know anything, and for insurance, they always bought from the World Serpent Insurance Company, so she recommended that company to Cioara.

Later, Gray Serpent scolded Jackal severely, after all, in Gray Serpent's view, the possibility of the island exploding was not low at all!

"So have you decided which island to go to?"

Bronya looked at Bronie hanging up the phone, then looked at Sis Bronie on her chest.

Sis Bronie cushioned her own legs, and her hands were also cushioned by Sis Bronie's chest. Sometimes, Bronya really envied Sis Bronie's figure. Obviously, when they met before, it felt okay, and their figures were pretty similar. But in just a few years, the changes were too fast.

"No, maybe one day I'll want to go to The Deep. Hmm, The Deep is indeed a very good choice. It's not anyone's territory, so it can be included in the itinerary."

"The Deep? Bronya has never heard of any coastal city called that! And Bronya just searched for it, and there were no results at all!"

"That's a city left behind after the Mu Continent was destroyed by the Ninth Herrsher. There are still devices for studying the Sea of Quanta there, and it's also the only hope for a certain old popsicle to return to the real world."

After putting away her phone, Bronie rolled over again, the friction between her head and the stockings making Bronya involuntarily close her legs slightly.

"What kind of game is Sis Bronie making this time?"

"Just reminiscing about home a little bit, and not making games now, but making promotional videos."

"Oh?"

"Kids under eighteen can't watch it~"

"Could it be?"

Bronya's breathing became slightly heavier.

"Could it be~"

Bronie teased in a provocative tone, repeating Bronya's words.

"Really?"

"There are a lot of bloody and violent scenes, and I'm not planning to censor or change the color of blood!"

Suddenly, Bronya was greatly disappointed, while Bronie just smiled.

"What's on Bronya's mind? Don't these scenes qualify for an eighteen and up rating?"

"They do, they definitely do! But Bronya thought Sis Bronie was planning to enter a new gaming field this time. After all, everyone says there aren't many gaming themes left for Haxxor Bunny."

Bronie indeed didn't like making repetitive game themes. Apart from Bloodborne and Elden Ring, Bronie always seemed to be trying out new gaming themes.

Every time a new game was made, it inevitably topped the charts in that theme.

There was no doubt about that, so later, players asked when they would make ero games.

Or, if Haxxor Bunny could produce artistic-level games every time, what would happen if they made an R18 one?

After someone raised this question, the internet went wild. Bronie was speechless at this.

"There aren't many themes left, but strictly speaking, Cyberpunk 2077 is indeed an RPG game, quite similar to Undertale, isn't it?"

"So, in terms of the story, is it also similar to Undertale? In this game made by Sis Bronie, does the plot occupy a more important part?"

"It's multiplayer!"

"Ah?"

That's right, Bronie planned to make the game based on the online mode of GTA 5, to make up for her regret about Cyberpunk.

And more importantly, in a sense, it's also a result of homesickness.

That kind of world was quite familiar to Bronie.

Although those damn protein bars tasted really bad, and there were assholes everywhere, they were always more beautiful in memories, right?

"Cooperate to fight gangs, take on hired tasks to cause trouble, crime rates are high, but those capitalists are helpless. Although it feels dreamy, what the online mode gives is excitement!"

"Bronya isn't very clear about the scenes Sis Bronie wants, but Bronya believes in Sis Bronie's abilities."

"You saying that makes me feel the pressure!"

But that being said, Bronie was still using the Genesis System to make anime.

Anime was quite easy to make with the Genesis System, especially with the advanced AI, drawing and animating were no longer problems.

The technology of the previous civilization was indeed useful.

And with Vill-V and Mobius, these two super scientists, the technology of the previous civilization was constantly innovating. Quite good.

But if Welt knew about this, he would definitely be very angry.

This kind of technology wasn't used on Titans or something, it felt like a waste.

But did Bronie care?

If it really came to the Titan of AE entering combat, Bronie could just hack into these Titans and load combat AI directly. After all, Bronie felt that the firewall of AE was as weak as paper and could be easily hacked into.

The feeling of making anime was completely different from making games. After all, making storyboards while paying attention to performance effects, and the animation style couldn't be lacking. Bronie didn't want to see a roughly made 3D animation. Fortunately, with the experience of making Guilty Gear, making Cyberpunk: Edgerunner went smoothly.

It still took quite a bit of time to make the pilot episode, but after delivering the finished episodes to the company, Bronie had to have someone find voice actors.

Although making animations was a whim, after the employees saw such a complete pilot episode, they couldn't help but exclaim that Haxxor Bunny had secretly found an animation company to make the film.

But if they had found an animation company, wouldn't the animation company be able to find voice actors?

And shortly after that, the members of the company received a game production plan, which contained content about Cyberpunk 2077 Online.

Side quest chains, gang systems, as well as building blocks and home systems, all sorts of tedious details were handed over to the company's employees, and by the time they finished making these things, the game was probably already done.

After all, they found that the materials Bronie provided were very comprehensive, with nearly a hundred gigabytes of content!

From the materials, it could be seen that Bronie wanted to make a masterpiece again, but with so much content, which team made it?

No, it's the president!

President Haxxor Bunny, are you abandoning us?

The day after the content was released, Bronie received a joint letter from the employees, full of praise for Haxxor Bunny, and expressing their determination to work hard and do their best.

No, Bronie was puzzled. What's going on?

As a result, after Seele looked at it, she explained that they felt they were too useless and might be abandoned, so this was a letter requesting leniency from their subordinates.

This made Bronie a little speechless, so she could only reply, saying that she really didn't have the idea of firing them.

After all, they were still very diligent in their work, fixing bugs and maintaining servers, as well as making some DLCs that Bronie didn't want to touch.

At least compared to other powerful game companies, their work ability was not inferior at all.

And didn't Bronie also give them the task of making Switch games and let them play freely? Some of them even made a lot of good games, and Bronie gave them most of the money.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the employees in the studio were very enthusiastic.

With such a huge game volume, everyone knew that something big was coming!

As a result, people from various departments wanted to come and see what Haxxor Bunny was selling this time.

They just came to visit when they had nothing to do. As a result, they were stunned by this series of settings!

What's more outrageous was that in the lore settings and collection and project plan, there was also a tabletop role-playing game booklet!

It detailed the rules of the entire game, and then unfolded the route of the development of the Arasaka Company from the perspective of the tabletop game, as well as the legendary story of Johnny Silverhand.

Of course, there were also various small stories about Yorinobu Arasaka's rebellion against the company.

The employees were ecstatic to play.

How should they put it, the more people there are, the more fun it is for the tabletop game, not to mention a group of people who love games and love making games.

The studio was in a frenzy for a while before they started making games.

But Bronie added a tabletop to it so that everyone could more easily understand the setting, background, and underlying logic of game design, so Bronie didn't refuse their enthusiasm, and even called Elysia over to play together.

It's just that Elysia was too lethal to a group of tech geeks, especially to tech geek beauties. After all, Elysia was that kind of person.

Cyberpunk 2077 had started production, and the single-player mode was made by Bronie.

But the overall game also included a broadcaster mode, so as to avoid some content not being able to be broadcast directly.

But if you're alone at home, you can activate single-player mode, and the plot will change slightly.

With the Genesis System, Bronie made games very quickly.

But before the game was finished, the animation Bronie sent out finally finished voice acting, and the background music and theme song were also finished.

These pieces of music would be added to the game as background music in the future.

After finishing the animation, Bronie contacted Mr. Welt.

"By the way, Old Yang, don't you have an animation distributor over at AE? I have a game that needs promotion. Could you help me out?"

"Ah? Promoting a game? Aren't you usually the one who just releases them directly? Why suddenly want to find a distributor?"

"Because the promotion method this time is a bit different."

Different?

Welt began to get interested. Clearly, even Outer Wilds used insincere random broadcasting, but what's Bronie up to this time?

"Don't tell me you've directly made an anime?"

Chapter 137: Welt Sneaks a Peek at Anime

Since ordinary promotional videos were usually directly uploaded online by Haxxor Bunny, finding an animation distributor from AE this time meant that the promotion of this game by Haxxor Bunny was definitely out of the ordinary.

Then Mr. Welt thought of the most unlikely but also the most outlandish, yet in line with the style of Haxxor Bunny: Haxxor Bunny directly produced an anime!

Of course, this wasn't unprecedented. Just like in Guilty Gear, the plot mode was almost like a complete anime, but with 3D rendering and real-time calculation, the anime lacked a bit of that flavor.

It's not that there were issues with the art style or the music, but purely model performances would make the overall style seem a bit rigid, lacking the dynamic feel of hand-drawn animation.

Actually, Bronie knew this in her heart, and she had always wanted to make anime.

For example, the Spider-Man trilogy of anime, which had different art styles completely covered, Bronie really liked that style.

But in the end, Bronie chose Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

It didn't mean anything else, just simply wanted to match the game. After all, Bronie also wanted to make a complete Cyberpunk 2077 game. Although it was a very big project, Bronie had been dealing with data and code all her life, and she wasn't unfamiliar with it, right?

With the assistance of AI in production, Bronie's vision of a free Cyberpunk 2077 gradually began to take shape.

The tram track system that was missing from the Cyberpunk of the previous life would definitely be there this time.

After hearing Bronie's affirmative answer, Welt was also very surprised.

Bronie was always passionate about making games. Every game she made could be considered a work of art.

But being honored once or twice wouldn't satisfy Bronie. Every time, she would try to challenge new heights and bring everyone new surprises and joys.

It's no wonder that Aeon of Elation had their eyes on Haxxor Bunny.

To be honest, Welt hadn't even recovered from Outer Wilds. His mind was full of infinite fantasies about space, and he even felt that after the Honkai was resolved, he must go to explore space.

As a result, Bronie sent a complete ten-episode anime, divided into English and Japanese voiceovers.

After all, doesn't anime sound better in Japanese?

But on second thought, the animation studio of AE also had a place in the Far East, and even ME's Raiden Ryoma liked it. Sometimes, even Arahato's anime productions were entrusted to the Far Easterners.

So Welt didn't find it strange that the anime had Japanese voiceovers.

It's just that Welt was curious, what kind of anime Bronie made, and why did she quietly start making anime like this?

Everything Bronie had made so far had never disappointed anyone. The music, the visuals, the story, everything was top-notch, even the Legend of Zelda confirmed that Bronie was also a master of gameplay.

So what elements does an anime have?

Story, music, and visuals, the only thing missing is a bit of gameplay.

So Welt was curious, what kind of story did Bronie want to bring, and what kind of game did she want to make using this story?

He will just take a peek, no problem, right?

After all, there are only ten episodes, each about twenty minutes long, so it's only a little over three hours.

Opening the folder, selecting the English version to play, after all, that was the language Mr. Welt had always used, although he was currently in the Far East, Japanese and the like were no problem, but he still wasn't used to it.

Click on the first episode.

The plot unfolds slowly from the first-person perspective of a cyber psychosis.

A child named David, who clearly came from a poor family, but under the efforts of his mother, entered the school under the company's banner.

Along the way, the scenery David saw on his way to school was unbearable, some were addicted to the virtual world, some had nowhere to go and simply slept on the streets.

Of course, there were also shameless people who enjoyed themselves, which made Welt a little dumbfounded.

He didn't expect the animation made by Bronie to be so bold and daring, but considering that it was marked as an 18+ animation from the beginning, containing blood and violence, Welt didn't think it was a big deal.

As a poor person, the perspective he saw and the wealthy young gentlemen were always different, which meant that he always seemed out of place among his classmates, which was a class barrier, and Welt knew this very well.

To save money, David chose not to spend his mother's hard-earned money on upgrading the Braindance for studying.

Instead, he opted for a homemade modified pirated Braindance, which contained viruses.

Carelessly, this led to a big trouble at school, ultimately resulting in David's mother having to pay ten times the amount to compensate the school for upgrading the Braindance.

And what the school aimed to cultivate were members loyal to the company.

In this world controlled by capital, where everything revolves around interests, Welt felt an inexplicable sense of confusion.

It's like... Insinuating Anti Entropy?

But, it has to be said that within a few short minutes, the animation depicted a despairing world of class stratification, a future world controlled by corporations, with governments collapsing.

David's silence was deafening, and the city's hustle and bustle was eerily quiet. A series of bills burdened the child with the world's cruelty and responsibility.

But life must go on, albeit with this hollow feeling.

The unreal sensation of his mother's passing lingered with David.

Amidst the mockery of his classmates, David resolved to transplant the military-grade implants his mother acquired onto himself!

The first episode concluded.

From the despair portrayed in the created world to the suffocation and oppression felt by David, Welt knew this could be considered a very good anime.

However, upon seeing the credits, all listed were from Haxxor Bunny.

Just like last time with Outer Wilds, once Haxxor Bunny appeared in the credits, there was no one else.

But in this case, the anime still had other names, especially for voice acting and singing. If it were only Haxxor Bunny, it would be too far-fetched.

After watching the first episode, Welt felt a sense of wanting more.

Although some scenes were too bold, they inexplicably gave a sense of realism. It was as if the future controlled by capital should be like this cold-hearted, profit-driven.

Even David's mother's death was suspicious.

What kind of medical package would not allow family visits and lead to her sudden death after a seemingly smooth surgery?

The dirty hospital and the origin of the military implants all hinted that David's mother might have died due to human greed.

It's a depressing world. Nonetheless, Welt clicked to continue playing.

As for worrying about tomorrow's classes?

No problem. Welt taught history himself, and he was well-versed in it. His body could withstand some strain, and it shouldn't affect him too much. And it's just three hours, skipping the opening and ending songs would save even more time.

In simple terms, this anime is indeed for promoting the game, and the game's style may be similar to that of the anime. Such as the worldview aspect.

However, it's interesting that Bronie would want to make this kind of game, and she even explained to herself that the purpose of making this game was to commemorate her hometown?

If living in such a ghostly place, it's quite rare for Haxxor Bunny to have such a character.

After all, such a living environment really makes it difficult to create a good person.

Opening the second episode, because David didn't have enough money to install implants, he made a bet with the implant doctor out of interest.

Powerful implants often come with strong side effects, and the doctor believed that David, this kid, couldn't handle it, and might even cry and ask him to remove the implants after a few uses. But David was the type who wasn't afraid of anything, unaware of the danger.

After installing the implants, he embarked on his revenge.

Revenge was simple and crude.

He returned to his classroom and used his new implants to beat up the classmate who had mocked him.

After that, David fell into confusion once again.

With no income, no way out, and no idea how to survive in this society, finding a job was not easy.

Welt had never experienced such things himself, but the anime depicted it so realistically, it made Welt feel something.

It was like when everyone around him left, even Welt Joyce died in front of him.

Welt had Tesla by his side, and David encountered the light he had in mind.

Like a little elf traversing skyscrapers, Lucy, as a netrunner, stole chips implanted in people's brains and coincidentally targeted David.

She only stole chips from wealthy people, especially those related to Arasaka Company.

After finding out David's student ID from Arasaka School, she immediately acted. But she never expected David had installed military-grade implants that could enter a state similar to space-time rupture.

Then the two agreed to cooperate and continued stealing inside the tram without any psychological burden.

Well, the law doesn't exist in the world of Cyberpunk, and Welt was able to catch a glimpse of some background of this world.

It's hard to say whether there really is the law in this world, and it's not surprising that Bronie was so skillful in robbing gold from Tesla.

Just when Welt thought David had encountered the heroine and knew how to live in this Night City and that the future would get better, David was surrounded by mercenaries.

Yes, this is what is often referred to as "Cyber Jump" online, and in this Cyberpunk world, it could also be called "Cyber Jump," to some extent, right?

After all, getting jumped by enemies is the norm.

With a sentence from David, "You fooled me!" and Lucy's response, "Sorry," the second episode ended.

This unexpected twist made it seem like everything before was false, and Lucy's closeness was all for ulterior motives.

This made Welt even more deeply aware of this terrible world.

Is there an even worse place in this world?

It has to be said that Welt had developed a great interest in the game.

Bronie spared no effort to promote this game with an anime, showing that Bronie had grand ambitions. With just two episodes, the background of the entire world was portrayed so deeply, and in such a world, everyone was worried about David.

But for the protagonist, he must be special, right?

The second episode said that ordinary people could only endure about two times of implant side effects before going crazy, and they also needed medication assistance, but David stubbornly withstood everything.

So Welt also began to look forward to how David would struggle to create his own legend in this terrible world.

It's a pity that Welt hasn't heard Haxxor Bunny say that there are no living legends in the Night City yet.

Chapter 138: The Anime Nearly Breaks Otto's Defense

In the Night City, there are no living legends.

This is a classic line lamented by Rogie in the game.

When she uttered those words, it always gave the impression of someone having experienced too much.

But to be honest, as the Queen of Intermediaries, despite her skillful methods and abundant resources, Rogie knew in her heart that she was nothing more than a pawn caught between the major corporations.

Living in the Night City, no matter how much money or ability you have, compared to the corporations, you always feel like a dog, and only a heroic death can be called a legend.

Everyone is filled with dissatisfaction towards the corporations, but it's difficult for anyone to make a decent resistance.

Countless people have died on the path of rebellion, some are remembered as legends, while others die in obscurity.

Although the anime doesn't explicitly state it, the Intermediary, initially high and mighty, eventually ends up like a lapdog when facing the corporations, while the high-ranking executives of the corporations, out of fear of bearing responsibility, send their subordinates to face everything.

The whole society is so twisted, yet so reasonable.

Capital is like a wild beast, constantly devouring human hearts, twisting this world bit by bit into something unrecognizable.

But even in such a dark world, the brilliance of humanity shines strong and resilient.

The cybernetic implants eroded David's sanity, but his love for Lucy surpassed death, and Lucy's kiss transcended even the highest-grade suppressants.

Although he was ultimately destroyed by Adam Smasher, defeated by the cruel reality, the spectacular manner of his death indeed made David live on as a legend!

Welt knew that all of this was fake, but the story inside was so real, so touching.

Maine died at the hands of the Max-Tac, former comrades died from cyber psychosis, Rebecca died under Adam's crushing blow, and Kiwi disappeared after betrayal by the Intermediary, their lives dissipated like snowflakes.

As the bartender lady in the bar said, only those who die more spectacularly, more heroically, can become legends.

For Welt, the deaths of those characters in the anime were too abrupt, as if they were new friends he had just met and suddenly disappeared.

But precisely because of this, precisely because of the fragility of life, Welt felt even more heartache.

Yes, in such a terrible world, a brief life is to be expected, and Welt deeply felt the weight of life.

Every character in the entire anime was crafted very successfully, and when he realized it, it was already the latter half of the night.

After a brief nap, Welt immediately sent the anime to Tesla, and then let them handle the issue of putting the anime online.

There are many contents unsuitable for children, so for the sake of public order on the internet, Bronie did not upload it directly.

Welt thought Bronie did a great job in this regard, showcasing all the explicit desires to everyone.

Vulgarity is the norm in the Night City, which highlights the numbness of the common people and the extent of capital's control over the world.

Bronie, how come she's so young but so knowledgeable?

Welt couldn't be bothered to think about it.

After receiving the anime Welt sent, Entropy immediately began the review process. It wasn't until a month later that the anime was officially released online.

In fact, this was considered a green channel.

If it had gone through normal review procedures, it would have taken at least half a year.

There are inevitably some sensitive contents, but even scenes of violence, under Haxxor Bunny's unique artistic style, do not evoke any sense of disgust but rather a sense of alternative beauty.

Details, performances, music... Bronie pondered for a long time, just to showcase everything she had seen and thought of.

It's like having a legendary story of Sun Wukong in one's hometown. After leaving the hometown, one wants to share it well, so that the legendary story can continue to spread, until eternity.

In Night City, there are no living legends. A shot glass of whisky, mixed with a little cola, this is the drink left by David Martinez at the Afterlife Bar. Let's celebrate him, great in life, glorious in death!

Bronie has been inactive for a long time, basically not posting any updates except for new games, but now there's movement again.

[Damn, is this a preview for the new game? Did you make an anime as a trailer?]

[Tell me, is the entire credits list filled with just Haxxor Bunny? Are you serious?]

[Keeping new technology to yourself, huh! Making games, making anime, and making music, what kind of black technology is this!]

[Wow, there's even a rating system. Is Haxxor Bunny finally venturing into new territory?]

[Charge! Charge fiercely for me!]

The anime has just been released, and everyone still needs time to watch it.

So at first, everyone's comments were still about Bronie and game-related issues.

No one knew what the game was about, but then some employees from Haxxor Bunny Studio started speaking up, saying that this time Haxxor Bunny was going to make an unprecedented masterpiece, and there might even be Easter eggs in the animation.

If found, it would provide early access to game-related content.

Now, there was no choice but to play.

Most players had already been deeply impressed by Outer Wilds, and the aftermath had not yet completely subsided when Bronie started making a new game again!

What was this?

Even the production team's donkey wasn't as diligent as Bronie. It was like they were in a hurry to settle their affairs.

Some players were afraid that one day there would be news of Haxxor Bunny's sudden death, but Haxxor Bunny had grown up with everyone. There was nothing wrong with the photos Bronie posted.

There wasn't even the kind of professional coder's occupational disease, and it even gave the vague feeling that she was getting more attractive as she grew older.

Of course, the photos Bronie posted on the internet were purely for promotional purposes for Haxxor Bunny Studio because they found that no matter what game poster they posted, adding a picture of Haxxor Bunny would attract attention faster.

Bronie didn't think there was anything wrong with posting a photo, so she agreed to it.

It's just that time passes, and the photos accumulated over time indeed gave a feeling of a girl next door growing up.

But they definitely didn't know about Bronie's extraordinary ability.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunner aired ten episodes in one go, all content was free, and revenue relied entirely on traffic.

But would Haxxor Bunny be lacking in traffic?

No, just Haxxor Bunny's golden signboard was enough to support tens of millions of views. Moreover, the cyberpunk theme was still quite novel for the current world.

It's the cyberpunk background, which actually seems quite relevant to the current era of technology.

Some of the technology in cyberpunk, Schicksal can already achieve, and the neon-lit cities in cyberpunk actually have this trend in major cities worldwide.

Whether it's Nagazora City or Canghai City, they have gradually adopted this framework.

So the cyberpunk background inexplicably feels a bit close to reality!

Fortunately, there are no omnipotent companies here, some seem to only have Schicksal and Entropy, who are everywhere like The World Serpent lurking around the world.

Otto, at the headquarters of Schicksal, finished a day's work and was about to relax by playing a game of Civilization when Haxxor Bunny's social account posted something.

It was a promotional video for a game called Cyberpunk 2077!

This time the format of the promotional video was different from before. This time, Bronie actually used direct animation production, an extraneous anime with almost no relation to the game's plot!

Could he miss this?

Of course, Otto had no intention of missing it, and the duration of this anime wasn't even as long as a game of Civilization.

It was worth spending some time on.

As a result, after more than three hours, Otto was completely immersed in an emo state.

The theme of the anime mainly revolved around love, death, and romance.

The love that ran in both directions but was also disoriented reminded Otto of many awful things from five hundred years ago.

Although there were differences, it might not be considered love running in both directions, but many parts touched on Otto's personal pain points.

There was a kind of beauty in having one's scars exposed.

And death, Pilar's death made life seem as light as a feather, while Maine's death bestowed David with a burden heavier than Mount Tai.

Overall, this wave once again hit Otto hard.

The overall pace of the anime was very fast, and even Otto could feel that Bronie deliberately compressed the entire script during production.

But the detailed portrayal, as well as the portrayal of actions and expressions that should not be overlooked, made everything not so abrupt, as if this world should be like this.

Opening the comments section, the first comment that caught Otto's eye was this:

"Love is the best medicine!"

In an instant, Otto also felt a resonance.

This coincided with his Herrscher plan.

But then Otto was shocked out of his nonexistent cold sweat, feeling as if his steel soul's body had wet the back.

Was all this just a coincidence?

No, many stories are common, and Otto could understand that. Perhaps it was just a coincidence.

This also shows that Bronie believes in the power of 'love'. This 'love' can create miracles and transcend common sense.

Hehehe, it's precisely because of the similarities that we can't stand each other.

Yes, Otto knew that Haxxor Bunny hated him, but did Otto not also hate Haxxor Bunny?

Perhaps there was jealousy in this, Otto envied Bronie's ability to protect those around her before she lost them, without the need to desperately try to recover the past at all costs.

Her ability to modify reality could have been developed very early on to protect the people she loved.

And he only had regrets and missed opportunities.

Finally, he turned into madness suppressed by reason, like a beast.

Haxxor Bunny believes in love, protects love, and enjoys love.

While he believes in love, he can only relish the pain of losing love and enjoy the emptiness of losing his beloved.

Well, forget it, instead of raging impotently here, it's better to figure out how to pull Kallen back from that void. Life is just the complaint of the weak.

Otto believed that one day he would still be able to obtain what he wanted, it was just that he had taken a slight detour.

"The anime is very good, the music is also very good, the details are very delicate, it's just that the plot could be polished more carefully, maybe the work could really become another exquisite piece of art... but forget it, if you're bored, Amber, you can also try to watch it. I'll rest for a while and then go to the laboratory."

Otto took the initiative to go to the laboratory. This shouldn't be considered rare, but for Amber, it was like the sun rising from the west!

This anime... Bishop's praise was full, but it made Bishop lose interest in the game!

Now, she really had to watch it. Amber wanted to know what it was that could make Bishop work so seriously.

...

"Sister Bronie, can I..."

"Rosalia, haven't I told you? You're not old enough."

"Damn it! Obviously Seele has also watched it!"

"Don't say that I favor Seele. Although Seele has watched it, she is definitely not the Seele you know!"

Although White Seele also knew the general plot, every time she talked about the content, she blushed.

After all, she was a pure little flower.

As for Black Seele?

Black Seele was stubborn and said it was just average, and even said that the love running in both directions was simply stupid.

If it were her, she would do this and that.

Bronie looked at Black Seele with a smile, and Black Seele was directly embarrassed and retracted into Seele's body, letting White Seele come out to take over.

And White Seele was also cut by the anime once, sticking to Bronya at night wanting her to accompany her to sleep.

Ah, damn this anime, it's really great!

Bronya was so grateful to Sister Bronie, after Kiana left, all the flower girls in the orphanage were all Bronya'!

"But if you really want to watch it, it's not impossible, but the problem of exams..."

"I will definitely pass! Vodka girls never fail!"

"No, I want you to score seventy-five or higher."

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Rosalia and Lilia were shaken.

Lilia was still okay, her exam scores barely kept up, but Rosalia's situation worried Bronie.

This most lively, most fond of everyone, and also the most fond of playing child, even if she didn't inject the super variable factor of Apsi, but in the future, if she accidentally hurt her family because of her playful antics in the face of Honkai?

In countless parallel universes, Spider-Man has lost his uncle, and Bronie also doesn't want Rosalia to only understand growth and cherish everything around her when she loses Lilia.

But it's okay, Bronie is still willing to protect Rosalia.

Rosalia's happy-go-lucky nature is fine, it's just that Bronie worries that this idiot might be guided into some less good actions by some behaviors in the anime.

Like Lucy smoking.

Finally, Rosalia looked at her sister Lilia.

"Lilia, it seems that in order to enjoy the blockbuster, we must make necessary sacrifices!"

"Foolish Rosalia, not 'we', but you."

"No! Lilia, for the sake of your sister, use the time for rest to make up for my lessons! Please, Lilia!"

Chapter 139: Promotional Video

On the second day of the anime premiere, the comments under Bronie's posts began to take a turn.

"Wuwuwu, Rebecca, my Rebecca! Evil Bunny, how heartless you are! Rebecca just disappeared like that!"

"Pilar! Is there no one speaking up for Pilar? He was actually killed by a cyber psychopath masturbating on the street!"

"Dorio, Maine, you'll be with Pilar in your dreams!"

"So when will the game be made?"

"Has anyone seen the Easter eggs in the game? It seems to be a website. I opened it and saw that it was actually a playbook for a role-playing game!"

Strictly speaking, this thing is more like a special playbook for Dungeons & Dragons, with a completely new worldview, new stories, and special gameplay. This can also be considered another level of game trailer. It can be said that this time the game made by Bronie is simply full of sincerity.

The anime, which can almost be called an artwork, was released for free. In order to prevent everyone from getting too bored, a playbook with the game world as its background was deliberately made! However, the voices of the players who were searching for new Easter eggs were soon overshadowed by the cries of missing Rebecca. Things like the role-playing playbook, well, they have one of the most crucial configurations—friends.

Many times, a game can only be truly enjoyable when played with friends, and role-playing games like this are inherently inevitable. However, games naturally still need time to brew, coupled with the participation of players, to make the game more meaningful.

Watching the wind change direction, with a bunch of emo players nostalgically reminiscing about Rebecca, Bronie couldn't help but smirk.

"Sister Bronie's smile is so terrifying~"

This time, Bronya once again obtained the opportunity to participate and watch the game production on the side.

It seems that Sister Bronie isn't actually as concerned about this game as imagined. The game is large in scale, with a lot of content, but that doesn't mean such a game will definitely be perfect.

Bronya gradually understood this point, watching as Night City was gradually built in Sister Bronie's hands. Occasionally, Bronya would also create some NPCs to fill the game, and they also needed to be designed to be more in line with the current style.

Fortunately, Cyberpunk 2077 not only has Night City, but the wasteland outside also has its own unique style, giving Bronya plenty of room to maneuver. In addition to the various factions in Night City, there are also people from all walks of life, and the more bizarre the NPCs are designed, the easier it is to integrate into this cyberpunk world.

The original concept of cyber control has now evolved into terms related to networks and computers, representing the overall setting of the game, such as cyborgs, cyberspace, or even wandering AIs. And punk symbolizes a kind of spirit, in a world with huge wealth disparities, representing the struggle of anti-utopia against fate.

In short, cyber is the surface, while punk is the essence of the entire game. And the most representative figure among them is naturally the legendary Johnny Silverhand, the guy who once directly dropped a nuclear bomb in Night City. Although he is rich in rebellious spirit, Johnny Silverhand, with his air head, is indeed a bit extreme.

But with his rock and roll, gunfights, and resistance against corporations, he embodies many elements of punk. It's just that Johnny Silverhand has a kind of innocent beauty of knowing nothing but rebelling against corporations, without finding the most suitable means, which is also a kind of regret.

But knowledge monopoly is also quite common, right?

At least in the Americas under AE's control and in Europe under Schicksal's control, there has always been such a trend. As cities are gradually being established, Bronya also enjoys the feeling of gradually creating a whole world.

But today, Bronya is taking a break and is responsible for watching if there are any overlooked details in the game. Then, in a corner of a street, Bronya saw a sign that made her eyes go black. Especially at night, the neon lights flickered on the sign, and an image based on primitive reproductive worship seemed to be a twisting elephant clam shining there.

Taking a closer look at what is written on the sign.

"Big Bird Spin Bar"

Bronya was shocked!

"Um, Sister Bronie, is this bar of yours a legitimate establishment?"

Bronya pointed at the sign of a bar projected on the screen.

"Oh, this establishment, indeed it's not quite legitimate. There are future mission chains that will pass through there. After all, in this dark and desperate world, only extreme entertainment can make numb hearts feel a hint of pleasure, right?"

"Bronya already thinks this isn't extreme entertainment, but Sister Bronie, as long as you're happy..."

Bronya never expected Sister Bronie to have this side to her. She didn't know what to say, but as Sister Bronie said, such a world should naturally have a bar like that, so as long as Sister Bronie is happy, it's fine.

Immediately, Bronie handed Bronya a proposal for a side quest, which was about a side quest involving a company called Mandela Taxi Company.

The AI inside had a problem, so a side quest was created with the theme of the seven deadly sins, requiring passing through every area of Night City.

The reward was a permanent free trial of the Mandela company, and it also required deciding the final outcome of the Mandela core AI.

It was a relatively large project.

"The nature of the game determines the need for a large number of side quests to make the whole game more complete. In the future, I will also plan to create a moon base and Crystal Palace space station, but that's something for the future. Bronya, help me produce this side quest. It's time to test your skills."

Bronie gave herself a task, and Bronya was very happy about it.

This is a large side quest!

Moreover, the final choices and outcomes could also affect the main storyline.

Full of confidence, Bronya quickly returned to her office and began to take action.

This side quest was of great significance and extremely challenging. Bronya could feel Bronie's trust in her, and Bronya was equally happy.

The overall game was made based on the idea of GTA, whether it was from the mission aspect, finding contacts, obtaining special functions, avoiding searches by terror squads, or directly purchasing firearms online.

Of course, there was also the possibility of death in the free status of non-mainline plotlines. If you fell during combat, you would be sent to a nearby hospital. If you didn't have insurance or didn't want to spend money on medical care, you might randomly lose a cybernetic enhancement from your body. The higher the value, the more likely it would be lost.

Players could even purchase platinum memberships from trauma teams. When the protagonist's life was in danger on the battlefield, the trauma team might even fight the Max-Tac to rescue the protagonist.

Very cyberpunk style.

Although the platinum membership might be a bit expensive, and it was difficult to die once the character became powerful later in the game, there should still be content available, right?

As long as there's money, you're the boss, and money can also be obtained through different means.

For example, the smarter way like hacking.

Or the slightly less intelligent way, like making some money from the various factions in Night City.

This would affect the reputation and goodwill between different factions and also the internal faction system of the game.

But money was abundant too.

The reason this was not such a smart way was that if the goodwill was too low, the middleman might receive many bounty missions to kill the protagonist, and the rewards would become higher and more people would come after you.

It was better to make money by taking tasks against corporations from the middleman.

In Night City, there were many opportunities to make money. As long as your luck was good enough, the protagonist would eventually become the living Yama of Night City; this was certain.

You know, there were no living legends in Night City, so becoming the living Yama was understandable, right?

Of course, in the end, the final boss of the game's main storyline would undoubtedly be Mr. Adam Smasher, who had appeared in the anime.

He was the one who killed Johnny Silverhand, plus the grudge with Rebecca. He was undoubtedly the best choice as the final boss.

But Adam Smasher was also a ruthless person. He had been completely modified with cybernetics all over his body, and the little flesh left was probably not enough to fry a dish.

Such a level of modification hadn't even turned into cyberpsychosis yet, which was probably related to Adam Smasher's original personality.

In fact, there were also people researching cyberpsychosis in the game. Although the mainstream explanation was that excessive cybernetics placed a heavy burden on the brain, it was actually a mental illness that arose under immense life pressure.

In such a terrible world, who wouldn't go crazy?

So the so-called love was indeed the best suppressant, and in this regard, what Bronie said was not wrong at all.

After repeated modifications and fine-tuning, the entire Cyberpunk 2077 had become a completely new game.

There was a lot of urging for updates on the internet, as well as various discussions on the anime storyline.

Some people said Bronie was not doing her job properly, but others were asking when the anime Undertale would be released.

Uh, as for Undertale, Bronie originally had no plans to produce a sequel, so let alone an anime.

So Bronie immediately replied, informing the other party that there would be no sequel to the legend in the future, and also released the latest promotional video for Cyberpunk 2077!

"In 2077, the city I live in was named the worst area in the United States. Why is that?"

"Violent incidents are rampant, and the number of people below the poverty line ranks first in the United States."

The tram passed through the pitch-black tunnel, and the towering skyscrapers appeared in front of the eyes like layers of mountains.

Exciting electronic music played, introducing the future world full of punk style.

With the new ray tracing system, the entire picture had once again undergone a qualitative leap!

Of course, game optimization was also in progress, and Bronie said she would try her best to make it run on low-spec computers.

There would be a lot of game setting options, and the gaming experience would also undergo some changes as a result.

But there was no other way.

Some familiar scenes that could also be seen in anime, bustling cities, dirty streets, endless gang wars, and even bloodier and more realistic battle scenes than anime.

The promotional video showcased many, many contents, far beyond the expectations of all players.

Actually, everyone didn't have much expectation at first, after all, Bronie had already made anime, and her previous work, the artistic level Outer Wilds was enough to go down in history. If there were to be a big production, it would definitely take some time.

How long has it been since Outer Wilds was released?

Probably not even half a year, considering the current production efficiency of games and Bronie's current production efficiency, how big a game could be made?

But this time, players would probably guess wrong again.

Using the Schicksal game engine brought about a huge change in game production efficiency. At that time, Bronie was already using AI assistance to make games. In just about half a year, she made Elden Ring.

And now, the Genesis system really had the ability like a creator god, instantly creating many contents.

So when making Cyberpunk 2077, more time was actually wasted on modifying the game content to make the overall game more interesting.

Whether it was the gang system, skill point system, different character actions and combat postures, or actions after using different cybernetic enhancements, they all needed further optimization.

But this high-intensity and high-efficiency game production resulted in the game's size getting bigger and bigger, to the point where the game content was close to 180GB!

And that's not counting the content of the online mode.

There was no way. Everyone wanted to add everything, resulting in the game getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, the entire game flow and overall pace had to be considered.

"As expected, the Genesis system is really useful. It can turn all my ideas into reality so quickly. How do you feel about this game, Bronya?"

"Bronya can't evaluate Sister Bronie's game. There are too many wild contents in it. However, Bronya also thinks this is the freest and most realistic game, and it will definitely sell well!"

Well, Bronya might not like this kind of theme very much. The punk spirit was interpreted quite accurately, but there was more darkness inside, and Bronya could always recall many unpleasant memories.

Bronie understood this very well.

But although Bronya might not like this kind of theme, she knew very well that Bronie made this game with a bit of longing for her hometown.

So she came to Bronie's side and asked, "So, in a way, this world is actually liks Sister Bronie's hometown. Does Sister Bronie like this kind of world?"

"No, of course not like it. Although I miss it, what I really want to do is burn that city completely~"

Chapter 140: Booking New Teaching for Bronya

"Wake the fuck up, Samurai! We have a city to burn!"

Bronie still used the handsome guy from legend, Keanu Reeves, as the face model for the game's character Johnny Silverhand.

However, Bronie searched online and found out that while The Matrix and John Wick existed, there was only a trailer for Speed Chaser, and Keanu Reeves wasn't part of it.

To be honest, Bronie quite liked that face, especially when he was in The Matrix; with those sunglasses, he looked incredibly cool!

Combined with the professional assassin performance in Speed Chaser, Bronie immediately associated Johnny Silverhand's identity with him.

Of course, the most criticized part was in Cyberpunk 2077, when Silverhand took off his sunglasses, his eyes looked extremely small, making people want to criticize the modeler for having a problem.

But Bronie definitely fixed that.

So when, in the promotional video, Johnny Silverhand stood on top of a garbage heap and looked down at the protagonist, the phrase "Wake the fuck up, Samurai! We have a city to burn" immediately ignited the enthusiasm of countless players.

Yeah, this city of the night was already rotten to the core, it should all be burnt to pieces!

It would be best to wipe out all the corporate dogs completely.

With the promotional video, along with the anime, players' enthusiasm was ignited, and when the pre-order page opened on the first day, the whole SBEAM was overwhelmed, even though the pre-sale price was around three hundred bucks, players couldn't resist their enthusiasm, and the sales on the first day soared to six figures.

What's the concept of six figures?

Players from all over the world, without knowing what the game was like, just based on the promotional video and the completely different art style of the anime, directly purchased the game!

Three hundred bucks could buy quite a few meals.

Bronie had never priced a game this high before, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and since everyone agreed on that, they directly judged that the game Bronie made this time was definitely massive in scale!

Look at the system requirements.

Well, you needed at least 200 GB of storage space, which already said it all.

This could be said to be the largest game in terms of scale so far. There hadn't been any AAA masterpiece that could reach this level yet. This anticipation was instantly full?

What kind of game could cram so much content?

Everyone was curious, but the pre-sale phase wasn't too long, it only had some concept art, soundtrack albums, and some items and special clothing in the game that didn't affect the game's balance too much.

Actually, the pre-sale phase was originally used to draw the pie in advance, take the money, and then continue to invest in game development.

But Bronie couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the players, so he arranged such a pre-sale phase.

Actually, when the pre-sale was launched, the game was almost finished, just the final optimization and testing were left.

As for testing, it was mostly done by Bronya or directly by members of the Haxxor Bunny Studio, mainly to find bugs and see what other content needed to be modified.

Why weren't the children from the orphanage involved in testing?

Come on, Bronie's game was rated 18+ on SBEAM, would she let the kids play it?

Most importantly, Bronya was more mature, so Bronie was willing to let Bronya get involved with this stuff, after all, Bronya's mind was not easily influenced, she had a very clear goal in her heart, which was to protect her own little happiness.

"Bronie~ We've all watched Cyberpunk Edgewalkers~"

Elysia contacted her. Bronie had intended to send the game over to the Elysian Realm, but before he could even send an email, Elysia contacted him first.

She seemed resentful.

Alone in her office, Bronie was still planning to enjoy some leisure time, but Elysia came to her first and confronted her in front of the screen.

"Ahahaha, how about it? My awful hometown, although slightly better than Night City, is still just a little bit!"

"Pardo said it felt like he was seeing Sundown Alley, and Kalpas's reaction to this anime was quite intense, making me engage in a fierce discussion with him~"

Well, Kalpas was picking fights again.

"No way, the main tone of this anime is all about dissatisfaction, it's quite normal for Kalpas's bad temper to want to vent a bit. How about I introduce some new data and let Kalpas beat up Adam Smasher?"

"I think Kalpas would be happier if he were facing you. After all, beating up virtual characters is meaningless, Kalpas doesn't like doing useless things, and if you stuff too much data into the Elysian Realm, Klein will start swearing again~"

Well, Elysia really understood Kalpas, Bronie could only sigh, perhaps only Elysia could handle Kalpas, as for Klein?

With Shamash's help, Bronie would invest in more new ELFs in the future, but even so, would Klein still be dissatisfied?

Bronie felt he could shut the other party's mouth, so he just ignored Klein's protests.

And under Klein's strong protests, she expressionlessly delivered the new game.

Cyberpunk 2077!

Compared to data entities that could be beaten up, the size of this game was relatively easy.

But the various data produced by the game afterwards, and the changes to memory itself, that would be troublesome!

Klein felt like she might lose her hair, and Shamash's originally expressionless Kevin face also showed some sorrow.

It seemed that this overtime would last for a long time. Clearly, he should be a combat-type ELF.

"Okay, okay, next time I come to the Elysian Realm, I'll apologize to Kalpas. I didn't expect a little nostalgia for my hometown would inadvertently remind you of some unpleasant memories."

Bronie waved her hand, looking a bit embarrassed.

While Elysia smiled at Bronie.

"It's been tough, huh? Living in such a place..."

Or rather, living in such an environment, without becoming a criminal, without becoming someone solely interested in profit, was truly a miracle.

Elysia felt that if she had grown up in such an environment, it would have been really difficult to have a pair of eyes that could see the beauty of the world.

"Thanks to my adventurous spirit, and some of my family who loved me, but unfortunately, I found it very difficult to continue staying there, so I left in the end."

"It seems you miss them?"

"Indeed, just a little bit, but even if I miss them, it's hard to go back. The Sea of Quanta is so vast, and there are so many bubbles in the world. It's really difficult to find a way back without any beacons, so let's just go with the flow..."

Once children grow up, they always find an opportunity to leave the nest. Bronie was grateful to Cioara and missed Sister Theresa, and occasionally, he also felt a bit nostalgic for the Paradiso.

But isn't life always moving forward?

For Bronie, what was more important was the future, the broader sky. With the sky being untied, people could have more land, more opportunities for expansion.

As long as she wasn't targeted by some mysterious entity in the Sea of Quanta, that world bubble was still promising.

If in the future, he could establish a formal connection with the Imaginary Tree and become a new world, that would be even better.

Actually, Bronie felt that it was very possible for that world to do so.

The novice village named Cyber Arc City has been cleared, next is the first city named Honkai Impact E.

Then comes the second city named Honkai Star Rail.

If possible, Bronie also hopes to contact new worlds, new Imaginary Trees!

Of course, these are all things for the future, and now what should be considered more is the present.

"The anime is very touching!"

Elysia evaluated it as such.

"My good Eden has said before that in such a filthy world, having a character like Bronie's is truly precious. Only when the night is dark enough can the stars shine bright."

Wow, Bronie felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

Perhaps, if he had come to this world without knowing anything, it might not have been as good as Eden said.

Just saying.

"Yeah, I was well-educated and well-protected by my family."

"Is that so? It's really a miracle!"

Elysia said again.

It seemed that in Elysia's heart, Haxxor Bunny was synonymous with miracles.

"Well, the time for nostalgia is over. What I'm going to transmit next is the game called Cyberpunk 2077. Maybe the world inside isn't as beautiful, but if you can, you can also use your abilities to make this world a better place."

Bronie started transmitting the new game, nearly 180g of content, which could be said to be the largest game Bronie has ever made.

"In the future, an online mode will be launched, although there won't be a main storyline, you can still develop your own power in the Night City alone. Of course, if you want to establish your own faction in the wilderness, it's okay because players can always shine in this dirty Night City."

"Then I must bring Bronie and establish a magical girl group!"

"Uh...I'm talking about factions, clans, like the mafia..."

"Exactly! Magical girls!"

"Ah! Well, Elysia, as long as you like it!"

Bronie gave up. Although it sounded weird to establish such a magical girl faction in the Night City, it was also very cyberpunk.

"By then, Bronie, your image must be booked in advance~"

"Alright..."

"So, has Bronie been resting well lately? Making such a big game must consume a lot of mental energy, right?"

For some reason, Elysia found that Bronie's attention seemed to be not on her, just like Kevin before, when he was very tired, he would be absent-minded.

"A little bit, mainly because I wanted to make an interesting and large game with enthusiasm during the making of the anime, and I planned to finish it all in one go. I just didn't expect to be so tired."

"Then Bronie should take a good rest. If you feel too bored, come to the Elysian Realm. The lovely pink fairy lady is always open to you~ But speaking of which, where are you looking?"

"I'm looking at my legs..."

Those white and tender little legs, outlined by fishnet stockings, were so tempting.

It was such legs, growing on her own body, gazing at the scenery of the canyon in the mountains with a hooked waist, She wonder which beauty would be lucky enough to get them.

"Bronie~ Even though I'm in front of you, could you look at me more? Otherwise, I might get a little emotional too~"

"Ah, sorry, just trying a new dressing style today, feeling a bit awkward."

Actually, this style could be considered a return to cyberpunk style. Bronie was already looking forward to trying her own dressing style since the game was about to be released.

Maybe it could even start a fashion trend and give birth to more bold clothing in this world.

Of course, for Bronie, fishnet stockings were daring enough. Next time, let Bronya try those clothes.

Such as bodystocking, evening gown, and so on.

"A bit awkward? I think it's very chic! Normally, Bronie has a cool feeling, and everything he does is efficient. Besides, since Bronie doesn't come to the Elysian Realm, I can only watch anime and miss Rebecca with my good Eden~"

"Well, it's just that the Elysian Realm is too remote, and the transportation is inconvenient. But I have indeed been tired recently. I plan to take a short break, and when the time comes, I'll bring Bronya over to play."

"Great! Hey, I always thought it was a bit of a pity that I couldn't see Bronie grow up, so is Bronie trying to make up for regrets by sending Bronya over?"

"No, I just see potential in her. She's also a genius. I think she can learn a lot in the Elysian Realm."

Bronie felt that Bronya was about the right age to leave the orphanage. The children of the orphanage might have to be taken care of by Sin.

Recently, Cioara has been quite busy, and I wonder whatvshe's busy with.

"Well, welcome! The Elysian Realm is always welcoming to your arrival! And everyone's stories need to be remembered. Since it's a child picked by Bronie, there must be something special about her!"

Elysia looked very happy, and Bronie nodded satisfactorily.

"The game has been transmitted. I hope you enjoy playing it. Maybe the story inside isn't so beautiful, but I believe you can become famous figures in the Night City!"

"The only regret is that the main storyline can only be played solo... I'm looking forward to Bronie's multiplayer mode!"
