"The perfect mecha!"
Welt Yang stood aboard the Astral Express, stroking his chin as he admired the flawless sight before him.
"Excuse me, passenger."
Pom-Pom approached with a small broom, sweeping near Welt Yang's feet.
"My apologies!" Welt Yang immediately took two steps back to make room.
"I say, passenger, you've been standing here for hours Pom."
Welt Yang sat on the train's sofa, casting one last glance at the "Sam" mech suit.
"Conductor, I believe this armor is absolutely perfect impeccable craftsmanship.
It even contains an internal combustion system that can produce sizzling ignition sounds
and shoot out flames! It's practically miraculous.
Though the suit's weight would be unmanageable for most,
Miss Firefly handles it with ease!
Simply perfect! A mecha-wielding heroine what an excellent concept.
If there's ever a chance for other productions, we must include mechs!"
"Oh! I don't know much about mechs Pom. As long as you like it!" Pom-Pom gave Welt Yang a glance before continuing to sweep quietly.
Meanwhile.
Su Chen had returned to his temporary base
and opened the system interface. The section for Honkai Impact 3rd was finally illuminated.
However,
an enormous new problem immediately arose—
the unlock requirement was a staggering 1.5 million points?
Even major scripts like The High-Cloud Quintet and The Crown of the Mundane and Divine from Star Rail only cost tens of thousands.
How could this possibly require so much?
Unbelievable.
After unlocking various locations on the Xianzhou Luofu, he still had 800,000 points remaining.
The rewards from Punklorde's film release added another 700,000 enough to cover it.
But currently, all technologies purchasable with small amounts of points had already been unlocked.
Now every available reward required at least several hundred thousand points.
Whatever Su Chen adhered to the principle that the system was the system; he had no power to change it.
He spent the 1.5 million points.
Claiming it didn't hurt would be a lie. The exhilaration of unlocking was matched only by the regret afterward.
An overwhelming urge to chop off his own hands swept through Su Chen—
but the next moment,
Thud! A thick script fell from above and hit his head.
"Damn it! Who's littering from above?"
Su Chen read the text on the cover aloud, "Script?"
Thud! Another script landed before him.
Looking up, Su Chen saw dense clusters of scripts materializing overhead.
"Wow! It's raining scripts!"
"Oof!"
Soon, Su Chen was buried beneath the mountain of scripts.
——
Belobog Administrative District.
"Hey! Stelle!" Dan Heng and March 7th desperately pulled Stelle away. "Stop digging through trash cans!"
Dan Heng gritted his teeth. "Seriously, Stelle do you have some kind of fetish? We might really need to ask Su Chen to take you to a psychologist!"
"Trash cans, my friends. Let your magic of friendship infect me!" Stelle knelt before a trash can, radiating bliss.
Seeing Stelle finally calm down slightly, Dan Heng gave March 7th some instructions.
"Keep an eye on her. I need to discuss important matters with Cocolia!"
"Huh? Just me?" March 7th pointed at herself. "If she goes wild again, I might not hold her back!"
"Sigh!" Dan Heng rubbed his forehead. "When Firefly offered to help earlier, you said you could handle it alone. See how tough it is now?"
"Whatever I have to meet with Cocolia. Since I can't manage both, I'll call Himeko and Kafka for backup."
After one last glance at Stelle's condition, Dan Heng headed toward Qlipoth Fort.
The Cocolia Group was currently in deep collaboration with miHoYo, a relationship that would persist for quite some time.
Soon.
Dan Heng arrived at the Supreme Guardian's office both a filming location and Cocolia Group's temporary workspace.
"I'm here!" Dan Heng pushed the door open to find Cocolia, Bronya, Seele, and Screwllum awaiting him.
Screwllum checked his watch. "Right on time, Mr. Dan Heng."
Dan Heng smiled in response.
Then,
excluding Seele, the four gathered around an empty table.
"Hypothesis: If Su Chen intends to construct the entire Xianzhou 'Luofu'
as a floating structure, it would require exceptionally robust support.
However, based on Su Chen's blueprints and the subsequent scene dimensions,
we can conclude the difficulty would rival building a transoceanic bridge."
"Exactly!" Cocolia nodded at Screwllum after all, he was a leading expert in mechanical engineering.
"True levitation is impossible this is the real world,
not a web series. The concept is bold, demanding extreme engineering precision.
I'm just a humble real estate developer; I can only provide basic construction techniques."
"Precisely. Though under Mother's oversight, our infrastructure can withstand magnitude-9 earthquakes, the proposed supports are too sparse to guarantee absolute safety."
"What if we..." Dan Heng pointed at the map, "Imagine Luofu as a plate and elevate the entire structure?
After all, 'sky garden' technologies in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai have already been realized.
We could use the 'Ambrosial Arbor' as Luofu's central anchor point."
Screwllum nodded thoughtfully.
"Following Mr. Dan Heng's proposal, edge stability would become problematic.
However, we also need tracks for the Astral Express to operate on—
perhaps integrating the rails with support structures could work. Conclusion: challenging but not impossible."
"I grasp the general idea, but the construction difficulty exceeds our group's current capabilities..."
Dan Heng fixed Bronya with a sharp gaze. "Don't worry. I'll arrange technical support."

Meanwhile.
Welt Yang waited by the train entrance.
Before long,
a golf cart slowly pulled up before him.
Welt Yang looked deadly serious. "Su Chen, may I ask what all this is?"
"Scripts! Every Honkai Impact 3rd script enough for your production, right?"
"People measure scripts by 'volumes,' but you measure yours by 'kilograms'?" Welt Yang shuddered at the sight there had to be at least 200 kilos.
How long would reading them all take?
And he was the project's lead director.
At this moment, he felt a phantom pain near his appendix.
Su Chen gave Welt Yang a thumbs-up.
"I believe in you! Just think soon you can tell the entire internet
you're Welt Yang chasing Honkai!"
