Chapter 95: Kiana Moves In

The compact controller can be detached at any time, and the integrated screen can be connected to a TV or monitor at any time, making it not just a handheld console but also suitable for home play.

However, calling it a handheld console wouldn't be entirely accurate, as some players never use the handheld mode after buying it.

The Switch is such a wonderfully strange gaming device.

However, with the extremely delicate configuration from the previous life, if it weren't for Zelda and Mario giving it a boost, along with subsequent releases like Pokémon Sword and Shield, as well as Arceus, and various other titles, this gaming device might have died out long ago.

It just goes to show that a sufficiently interesting game can indeed make players open their wallets.

However, looking at the prototype projected by Bronie, with the blueprint only halfway done, who seemed to be pondering whether to use some cutting-edge technology from the Cyber Arc City, such as miniature quantum chips and the like.

"Bronya still doesn't quite understand, can a gaming device like this can really get players to buy it? And Bronie still hasn't completely disclosed the news about the new game. Bronya really doesn't understand what kind of excellent game can truly make players pay for a gaming device weaker than renowned gaming consoles."

"Well, you're learning pretty quickly. Maybe you'll be able to catch up with game development soon. It's not that I want to keep things secret from you, but I feel that revealing information about the game too early would take away a lot of the fun."

Naturally, what Bronie wanted to give was the initial joy she experienced in the past. However, during the game development process, it's inevitable that many details would be revealed. Although playing games is still enjoyable, staring at those screens every day can get tiresome.

"Bronya doesn't think it would take away a lot of fun. Being able to be with Bronie brings Bronya more happiness."

Damn. Bronya sure knows how to sweet-talk!

"I can't do anything with you. Alright, the games to be made for the gaming device actually have a lot of aspects. Besides porting Mario and Kirby games to the device, we also need to make use of the device's special features."

"The functionality of detaching the controller?"

"Exactly, just like this."

With that, Bronie projected a sample with no functions, but the appearance and framework were identical to the Switch. Then, Bronie detached the controller.

"It can support multiplayer sharing, and you can even swing the controller to toss out a hat or perform other actions. This interactive experience will make gameplay more engaging. And by utilizing HD vibration technology, players can enjoy a more detailed experience. Plus, we can even put it on a fitness ring and use it for workouts while gaming, combining fitness and gaming."

"Bronya is very curious. How many ideas does Bronie have in her mind? To be able to effortlessly think of so many interesting gameplay mechanics."

"Well, since we're going for differentiation, we might as well go all the way. These ideas have been in my mind for a long time. It's just that I haven't implemented them until now."

Bronya just thought Bronie was being modest. After all, the blueprints for the electronic components inside the gaming device were right in front of her, so it was obvious that these ideas were recent.

Is this what genius looks like?

There's still a clear gap between herself and Bronie. She should work even harder.

With this in mind, as Bronya looked at Bronie, her admiration began to rise again, leaving Bronie at a loss for words.

"But if we plan to release a new game on Children's Day, this time it might have to be delayed. After all, we need to coordinate the release with the new gaming device, and we also need to develop new games."

"So does that mean Bronie won't release any new games for a long time?"

Bronya felt a bit regretful, but when she thought about a bunch of games coming out alongside the gaming device, it didn't seem so hard to accept. It's just that players might have to wait a long time.

"We still have Bloodborne DLC, Elden Ring DLC, and new DLC for Civilization. Let's use these to tide us over for now. The planning has already been done, so as long as we start production in the company, it's okay to take a bit more time."

"Bronya still suggests that Bronie disclose some information. Otherwise, there might be alarms raised online, saying that Bronie has gone missing. After all, players are very enthusiastic, and Bronie's games have brought them so much joy."

From 2008 to the present in 2010, two years of high output of so many games have completely transformed the internet landscape!

And the most popular game is undoubtedly APEX, this free game mode has directly led countless manufacturers to attempt to create similar games, but none of them have captured that same magic.

Of course, there are still many excellent works, such as a certain game that combines battle royale mechanics with building elements, which has also become popular.

However, in terms of revenue, it still hasn't surpassed APEX.

The unforgettable BT-7274 from Titanfall has left a deep impression on all players and has now become the most representative first-person shooter game.

With its powerful maneuverability and the exhilarating combat of piloting mechs, without the encirclement of other outlandish games, Titanfall has received the glory it deserves.

"Revealing some information... well, it's not impossible. But for those who are too eagerly anticipating, it's highly likely that they might end up disappointed when they actually play the game. So I don't intend to release too much information, and neither will I release any information about the gaming console."

"Mm, Bronya thinks that if you trim down your Legend of Zelda a bit, it should be enough. Just make sure players see that you have a plan, rather than just trying to rely on Apex to make quick money."

Well, Bronie indeed isn't some capitalist. Rebirth is just a ferrous beast, relying on that one game to make a fortune for a lifetime, with no news whatsoever about the fall of Titanfall 3.

If players see her like that kind of person, getting scolded every day wouldn't make Bronie happy.

"That's true."

Bronie nodded, then shifted her gaze back to the half-finished blueprint.

But the doorbell of the orphanage rang, interrupting Bronie's work.

Opening the video communication on the doorbell, Bronie saw a small green chameleon backpack. And there was a green chameleon hairpin worn on the forehead.

"Big Sister Bronie~"

Kiana's voice sounded sweet.

Bronya immediately became alert.

"So, this is the Herrscher Bronie mentioned? Not some fox spirit?"

A master could tell the opponent's rank just by listening, and Kiana happened to be growing taller, so she was definitely taller than Bronya.

But just because of her stature, coupled with Bronie's completely inexplicable tone, it was impossible to say.

For some reason, Bronya felt a slight sense of crisis.

"Saying 'fox spirit' is a bit too much, isn't it? Kiana is actually quite cute. Sirin is a bit stubborn, and I'm still trying to influence her. But don't worry, I'll protect you both."

Saying this, Bronie put on her coat for going out and left her office.

Bronya immediately stood up and put on her down jacket, ready to follow Bronie.

"Why are you following? It's pretty cold outside. It's better to stay home and stay warm."

"Bronya believes it's necessary to assess the other party's threat up close, and then make a correct and objective evaluation by Bronya herself."

Alright, as long as Bronya is happy.

Arriving at the gate of the orphanage, this place was originally a luxurious villa converted into an orphanage, so the gate looked quite majestic.

Looking at the little white fur ball carrying a heavy backpack who was looking at herself with innocent eyes, Bronie couldn't help but want to hug Kiana and give her a big bite.

Damn, Kiana is incredibly cute!

"Big sister Bronie! I've come to find you! That smelly dad never contacts me, except to send money every once in a while. No matter what I do, he just ignores me!"

Initially, Kiana was somewhat aggrieved, wanting to pounce into Bronie's arms and cry, but when she saw Bronya, she forgot about acting and was shocked.

"Um, so, Sister Bronie is already a mom? Did I miss out? Damn it, who's the kid's dad?"

Responding to Kiana was Bronie's magic finger snipe to the forehead.

"Ah!"

"Seriously, why do you think of Bronya like that, as if seeing Bronya means I gave birth to her?"

"Wuwuwu, even the names are so similar... After all, Sister Bronie is sometimes very caring... If she has a wife attribute... Hmm, the kid's dad must have committed a crime, and I must send him to jail, then Big sis Bronie will be mine!"

"Alright, Bronya is very sure that this guest is an idiot who has plans on Sister Bronie, and it's hard to pose a threat to others, but Bronya will keep a close eye on the guest. This is to ensure that Sister Bronie's body is not touched by weirdos."

"You little one! What do you mean by weirdos! Remember my name, I'm Kiana Kaslana! Our Kaslana family has been knights guarding the people for generations! We will never pose a threat to anyone!"

Now Bronya looked even more pitifully at Kiana.

"Knights and the like are outdated. In Elden Ring and Bloodborne, knights didn't end well. Bronie doesn't like weird knights, so please give up on unrealistic fantasies, strange white monster."

She really didn't expect Kiana to be this kind of person, which really opened Bronya's eyes.

She have seeen lively ones, like Rosalia.

But never seen one this lively, like a big loudspeaker, which is a bit too noisy.

And more importantly, the way she calls her "little one"!

Just because she's slightly taller!

I'll grow too!

Since she dares to come up and give me a strange nickname, then don't blame me for being impolite!

"Alright, let's get along well. But Kiana, if Siegfried leaves without a word, refusing all communication with the outside world, then I can't help you find him. The world is so big, if you really want to find someone, you have to start from the people around them."

As she spoke, Bronie took Kiana with her into the orphanage.

Rosalia curiously poked her head out and was immediately stared at by Kiana.

"Hello! I'm Kiana Kaslana!"

"Hi, I'm Rosalia!"

The sudden enthusiasm made the curious baby Rosalia nervous.

Goodness, this is a social terrorist!

"Hello, hello! And what about you?"

Like a wolf entering a sheep pen, Kiana began exchanging names with the children everywhere, not even sparing shy Seele hiding in the corner.

Bronie happily watched from the side, but Bronya intervened when she saw Seele being pestered by Kiana.

Seele, let Bronya protect you!

The nature of the war has changed, from protecting everyone from the hands of the Herrscher to protecting everyone from the invasion of a strange social terrorist!

And most importantly, Kiana seems to really have some strange ideas about Bronie, and Bronie is completely unaware of it!

Indeed, adults always smile and don't take children's jokes seriously. Bronya knows this, although usually Bronie takes everyone's words very seriously and promises to fulfill them.

But faced with jokes like Kiana's, Bronie just treats them as jokes.

This is mainly Elysia's fault.

After all, Elysia often says things like that, liking everyone and wanting to have a harem with various beautiful girls.

It seems that Kiana has been more deeply affected by Elysia.

"If anyone has anything else to say, let's wait until Kiana settles into her room. I'll take her to my room first!"

Bronie saw that Kiana was almost acquainted with everyone, so she called Kiana to follow her.

"Because of the urgent time, and the nearest town is quite far from here, so the room is relatively simple. Daily lessons shouldn't be neglected. Knowledge is the important thing that changes one's destiny. When you have clues about Siegfried in the future, you can go find him."

"Can knowledge help me find my smelly dad?"

"Of course it can!"

"But dad seems to really not know anyone, he just often tells me some tips for picking up girls..."

Recalling the past inevitably brings back some painful experiences, which is tantamount to picking at old wounds.

Bronie understands that Siegfried has never stepped out of his past pain. The Siegfried who once aspired to become a great hero has forever remained in the past.

Perhaps even the Stigmata belonging to the Kaslana family inside him has undergone unpredictable changes because of this.

"Maybe you can re-understand your father from a psychological perspective, or judge the other side of your father who has been with you from a behavioral perspective. Think carefully, do you really understand your father completely? Do you know why he left you?"

At this point, Kiana's usually unused brain also began to turn on.

"Wuwu... I can't figure it out, Big sis Bronie just wants to deceive me into studying!"

Very good, Bronie's blood pressure is rising!
