Chapter 100 "Inheritance of fire": Elysia's First Appearance

Outside the recording studio.

After Himeko and the others finished recording "Everlasting Flame," Eden and Mo Li glanced at each other, both seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes.

"Indeed, after watching the plot, everyone grasped the key points and passed it in one go~~"

As Mo Li spoke, Mei and the others slowly walked out of the recording studio.

At this time, their eye sockets were still extremely red.

"Great~ a very perfect performance~" Mo Li looked at Himeko and the others and was the first to applaud.

Rita and the others wiped away tears while applauding for Himeko and the others' wonderful performance.

Kiana pouted, looking pitiful.

"Boss..." she started, sniffing.

Clearly, she thought of the plot in the game, and her emotions were still somewhat unstable.

Mo Li smiled and gently patted her head of white hair, comforting her softly, "Alright Kiana, it's just a story."

"In this world, there's no Honkai, no terrifying Herrschers, let's think of something happy~"

"If you still want to cry, go find Elysia, she'll definitely comfort you."

"It's all because of you... writing such... touching plot, sob..." Thinking of this, Kiana shook her head and pretended to be angry as she glared at Mo Li, "And besides, I don't need Elysia to comfort me, I have Mei~"

As she spoke, she snuggled up to Mei.

Seeing this, Himeko pretended to be sad, "It seems that Kiana's favorite is still Mei, huh?"

"Not true!" Upon hearing Himeko's voice, Kiana shuddered as if by reflex. She quickly turned around and hugged Himeko tightly, "Teacher Himeko, I like you just as much~"

Himeko gently tapped Kiana's head, "Call me big sister!"

"I know... big sis~"

Rita also smiled lightly as she looked at Kiana, "Only Mei and Himeko? What about us?"

Kiana looked serious, "I like all of you, we'll always be together~"

Seeing this scene, the girls' mood improved a lot.

Even Fu Hua rarely showed a hint of smile, "Fortunately, this world has no Honkai."

Suddenly, Mo Li thought of something and turned to Eden, "By the way, where's Elysia?"

"She should be asleep with Kiana by now, it's already late at night." Eden paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Oh... just watching a plot, and everyone ended up crying like this... I'm a bit afraid to watch Chapter 25 now."

Mo Li raised an eyebrow, "I remember... Miss Eden is a fan of Himeko, right?"

"If you miss this chapter, you might regret it~"

"Let's watch it~" Eden chuckled lightly, shaking her head.

Mo Li glanced at the time and realized it was indeed late, "Alright, everyone, good job, let's go rest~"

Himeko stretched lazily, "Then I'll go take a bath first~"

"Boss, aren't you going to rest?" Rita asked.

Mo Li pointed to the recording studio, "I'll process the audio, then send out the promotional PV for the new version and go to sleep."

Just as the girls were about to leave, they subconsciously stopped at the mention of the promotional PV. They knew that the promotional PV for the new version should be about Chapter 25.

Their interest was piqued.

Kiana ran directly to Mo Li, "Where is it, boss? Let me see it~"

Mo Li gave her a disdainful look before turning to Rita, "Rita, the video is on my computer, take them to watch."

(TN: MC wanted a hug as well?)

Rita smiled, "No rush, let me process the audio for you first."

As a meticulous maid, she always put the main task first.

Kiana didn't make trouble either, just pouting as she watched Rita work.

"Is it done yet..."

Rita smiled lightly, "It's done."

With that, she clicked on the video.

The scene opened with Kiana's whispering.

Listening carefully, it seemed to be the German version of "I love you."

The scenes flashed one by one, showing when Kiana was born as an experiment.

Next, the voice of Siegfried sounded.

"Kiana, we made a promise... you won't lose to her! Absolutely not!"

It was in a battlefield engulfed in flames, where Siegfried, with one hand severed, held the young Kiana.

And the young Kiana's eyes were full of confusion.

The girls who had watched the plot understood clearly that this was Kiana's first loss of control scene. And Siegfried's hand was cut off by the out-of-control Kiana herself.

The scenes continued to flash.

"The back of the Herrscher of Void, the scene after the collapse of the imaginary space.

The girls immediately understood that this was a scene from "The Last Lesson."

Just two segments, and their just-recovered mood sank again.

However, the next scene completely broke their defenses...

Kiana, in the battlesuit of Void Drifter, tears streaming down her face, holding Himeko's relic -- Gem of Haste.

The girls immediately recognized it - this was the "Godslayer: Surtr" Himeko used when facing the Herrscher of the Void.

These scenes were all the most painful memories of Kiana.

It was like rubbing salt on Kiana's wounds.

Seeing this, the girls all felt a sourness in their noses.

"Damn it... got some sand in my eyes again..." Kiana muttered under her breath, pursing her lips.

In the video, accompanied by a symphony full of epicness, the Herrscher of Flamescion, Kiana appeared.

She gently stroked the God's key Sword and said with a determined tone, "You ignited the sky for me."

"In the silent night, you illuminated my path."

Suddenly, the music intensified, reaching a climax.

As the cello played, it felt like a triumphant return from the battlefield, stirring up a sense of excitement.

However, with the appearance of the Herrscher of Flamescion and Kiana's words, "I will fight for all the beauty in the world!"

The girls felt a slight tremble in their bodies, instantly tearing up.

Kiana's gentleness, with a hint of determination... really touched their hearts deeply.

Damn it, Boss Mo Li turned a lively Grasshopper into such a mature and reliable girl.

Amidst their sadness, they didn't even pay attention to Kiana's new armor.

Only Eden, who hadn't watched the plot, noticed.

With her azure pupils, high ponytail, and a hint of melancholy, she said softly, "Kiana, you've changed so much..."

And these words were deeply acknowledged by the girls.

Next, the video showed scenes of the new armor in combat.

Regular attacks, branch attacks.

"The moment of decisive battle has come!"

Accompanied by a dazzling blue flame.

"With this fierce fire, cut through everything!"

Seeing this gorgeous ultimate move, Eden felt like she had seen it somewhere before.

Suddenly, an image popped into her mind... The Last Lesson!!

As she was pondering, the video came to an end.

She was about to speak, wanting Rita to rewind the video.

However, a voice that was extremely familiar to her suddenly appeared in the video.

This lively, enthusiastic voice said, "I'm glad to see you're gradually getting familiar with this place, getting closer to our journey."

Following that, the screen slowly moved, and Elysia, smiling, appeared in the video.

Underneath the video, four words slowly floated up: "Land of the Past."

Mei's voice also sounded, "I roughly understand the situation."

"But there's one crucial question..."

"Who are you?"

Seeing this, not only Eden but also the other girls were surprised.

Kiana wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, "This is... Elysia?!"

"Although I knew Elysia would appear in the game, when I saw her in that moment, I was still a bit surprised~" Rita said halfway, suddenly realizing something, "Miss Eden, you seem to be playing a role in the game too, right?"

Eden nodded, "Yes, in the game, Elysia and I are both people from the previous era. Now that Elysia has appeared, it should be my turn soon."

Himeko smiled, "I'm afraid when the players see this video, they'll be thrilled."

This remark aroused the curiosity of the girls. They were curious about the players' reaction when they saw Elysia.

Thinking of this, Rita quickly logged into the official Miho account and clicked on the just-sent promotional PV. Although it had only been a few minutes, the barrage had already soared to thousands.

She opened the comment section below.

Sure enough, almost all the comments were discussing Kiana's new armor and Elysia's first appearance in the game.

[He's here, he's here, Miho is here with the speakers!]

[I'm already crying wuwuwu...]

[I was wondering why the new plot made Miho's staff cry collectively, now I finally understand...]

[Indeed, only the plot involving Himeko is the most cutting, it seems that Himeko is really dead...]

... Send flowers...

Seeing the scene of Kiana holding the Gem of Haste, I cried out loud]

[BGM is killing it again!!]

[Hope in adversity, growth in grandeur... The quality of the PV is still stable!]

[Miho is awesome!]

[Kiana's new armor is so cool! The high ponytail is just amazing, isn't it?]

[With this fierce fire, cut through everything!!]

[I will fight for all the beauty in the world!! Whimpering. With the background music, when Kiana said this line, it really touched people's hearts QAQ]

[Didn't you guys notice? Elysia appeared at the end of the video!!]

[Elysia's appearance in the game is also so beautiful QAQ]

[Elysia appeared, Eden is coming soon~]

[Ah ah ah ah... Miho, please update quickly!!]

As the girls read the comments, the views of the video continued to rise.

Even though it was late at night, countless night owls still poured in.

At this time, Mo Li also finished processing the audio and came to the room.

Looking at the girls gathered together, Mo Li smiled, "Haven't finished watching yet?"

The girls all turned their heads at the same time, and then Mo Li noticed that, except for Eden, the other girls seemed to have cried.

Mo Li: "..."

Damn it, after watching the plot, this PV really is tear-jerking.

He had temporarily forgotten about it, which resulted in the girls just adjusting their emotions, only to be broken down by the PV again.

"We're watching the comments from the players on this PV."

"Boss, is Elysia going to be released in the next version?"

"When will Eden's character card be released?"

Mo Li scratched his nose and found that the girls' attention had shifted to Elysia and Eden.

"It seems like you've adjusted your mindset."

He shook his head, "Elysia won't be out until the next."

"This PV is just a teaser to get the players excited."

"After all... Chapter 25 is already a big climax, the hype will definitely skyrocket, so let's wait a bit longer for Elysia's character card."

"That makes sense..." The girls all nodded in agreement.

They couldn't imagine how the popularity of Honkai Impact 3rd would skyrocket once the new plot was released.

Although Mo Li didn't seem to care much.

But the girls once thought that the new plot of Honkai Impact 3rd had reached the level of being called a masterpiece.

At that time, there would definitely be a large number of narrative plot videos.

Through word of mouth, it would definitely attract a large wave of young people who didn't play games but liked to watch anime to join Honkai Impact 3rd.

Suddenly, Eden remembered something and turned to Mo Li, "By the way, when do you plan to release the theme song 'Everlasting Flame'?"

"Why? Miss Eden, do you plan to help with the promotion?"

Eden smiled gently, "Of course I can~ If you need it, I can repost it on Weibo."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li made a decision immediately, "Let's release it now!!"

Durandal was a little surprised, "Release it so early? There's still some time before the game update."

Without waiting for Mo Li to speak, Eden smiled, "The quality of 'Everlasting Flame' is very high. Even without the plot, it has the potential to top the charts."

"When the new plot comes out, this song definitely has a chance to be number one!"

Yuan Lan Dell was surprised in his heart. This song was so strong?!

"Boss... How did you come up with such a song for a game?" Himeko couldn't help but exclaim, "A game's music, even world-class musicians praise it."

As Himeko spoke, she looked at Mo Li with some inexplicable eyes.

In Kiana's call of "Auntie", Himeko also realized that she was not young anymore among the people she knew.

Among the people she had met, Mo Li was undoubtedly the most attractive.

Talented, handsome, with excellent personality and character...

"But, it seems that the other sisters also have some affection for this kid."

"Well, let's talk about it later. Anyway, he can't run away."

In this late night, not only did the promotional PV for the new version of Honkai Impact 3rd go online.

The theme song "Everlasting Flame" also went online in a high-profile manner.

With Eden's promotion, this song had reached over 999 comments in just one night.

Countless players and passersby looped the song all night long.

Early the next morning, on platforms such as Douyin, Bilibili, and YouTube, there were a bunch of up-and-coming hosts speculating about the new plot of Honkai Impact 3rd.

The new version had not yet been released, but the hype surrounding the new version of Honkai Impact 3rd had reached an incredibly terrifying level.

The incredibly catchy theme song, combined with the plot that made Miho's employees collectively break down, really made the players look forward to it.

Countless comments converged into one sentence: [Please update quickly QAQ] End.
