Chapter 58: White Comet Evolves into Moonbeam After SSS-Rank!
"That's called rubbing salt in the wound..."
Fu Hua helplessly corrected Senti. Rubbing salt on the person? What, are you trying to turn Kiana into cured meat?
"Right, right! Rubbing salt in the wound! Old Timer, you really are a master of conversation, hahaha!!" Senti clutched her stomach, laughing beside her.
Fu Hua's face was covered in black lines. My own sister... can't hit her, can't hit her... She decided to keep playing.
In the game, Kiana—unable to accept that everything she had just experienced was an illusion—uttered that magic incantation: "Ich liebe dich." German for "I love you."
In the next instant, Kiana's pupils turned a golden yellow. Honkai energy coalesced into wings behind her, and her armor transformed! She went directly from White Comet to Knight Moonbeam!
"Pfft, White Comet evolves into Moonbeam?" This scene made Fu Hua's eyes widen. So that's how the Moonbeam armor came to be?
Senti giggled from the side: "Old Timer, haven't you heard the rumor online? They say once you get White Comet to SSS-rank, she can evolve into Knight Moonbeam!"
Fu Hua looked at Senti with suspicion: "Is that true?"
Senti nodded solemnly: "It's true! If you don't believe me, just spend the next few weeks maxing out White Comet's fragments and you'll see!"
Knowing her sister's temperament all too well, Fu Hua rolled her eyes at her. "You brat, you just want me to waste my resources on a B-rank battlesuit so I can't farm other A-rank Valkyries, don't you?"
"Old Timer, you saw right through me! You shouldn't possess such earth-shattering wisdom!"
"Stop being ridiculous! How many times have I told you—call me Sister!" Fu Hua flicked Senti's forehead.
Senti rubbed her head. "Ow, ow, ow! Old Timer, your 'One-Finger Zen' technique is getting more and more refined..."
Fu Hua said crossly, "It's all thanks to a certain someone. I have to use it every other day; naturally, it's going to improve over time."
Senti put on a mournful face. "Old Timer! You're heartless! Using your own sister as a training dummy! You really are a major villain in reality too!!"
This kid... Fu Hua extended her finger, a dangerous smile appearing on her face.
"Wait, wait, wait! Old Timer, I was wrong, okay! Just keep playing the game!" After Senti begged for mercy, Fu Hua huffed and resumed her playthrough.
Although Kiana's combat power increased significantly after transforming into Moonbeam, she was still no match for Fu Hua. Ultimately, she was defeated and captured. Theresa, who had entered the data space with her, was also immobilized by an attack, forced to watch as Fu Hua took Kiana away.
All of this was a conspiracy by Otto Apocalypse, the Overseer of Schicksal! During this operation, he had even dispatched Durandal to recover Kiana...
To rescue her, Theresa ordered Bronya to be moved onto the Hyperion for surgery. Their goal: head to Schicksal Headquarters and save Kiana!
"Hey, hey, Old Timer. Now not only are you a villain, but Bianca has become one too. This is way too much fun!"
Senti naturally recognized the three Kaslana sisters, though they didn't exactly get along. The eldest, Bianca, was too serious and boring. The second, Kiana, was an out-and-out idiot who would butt heads with her—boring! As for Sirin? A total pufferfish—boring!
"Kiana really has the guts to write this, making her big sister a villain. I'd love to see the look on Bianca's face right now, hahahaha!!" Senti paused as if she'd thought of something. "Almost forgot, the Second Herrscher is Sirin! Now the whole family is together, haha!"
Fu Hua pondered for a moment before speaking. "But the writer for this game, miHoYo's Game Director... his name is Su Mu."
"I know that name, obviously! That Getting Over It game he made earlier annoyed me to death! Playing it made me want to punch my computer into pieces!" Senti's teeth itched with irritation at the mention of the name. "If I ever meet him, I'll definitely..."
Fu Hua continued, "According to my investigation, while Kiana is indeed the President of miHoYo, she doesn't actually manage the company... Bronya handles almost all matters, and Su Mu manages the Honkai Impact 3rd project team."
Senti blinked. "Meaning?"
Fu Hua answered, "Meaning, the only ones actually running things at miHoYo are Bronya and Su Mu. Kiana is just a hands-off boss."
Senti: "..." Senti: "Ahem! Well, if I meet that guy Su Mu, I'll definitely demand that he add me as a game character! After all, a character as cute as me would definitely be a huge hit!"
Fu Hua didn't say anything, but her expression of speechlessness clearly showed her attitude.
Senti analyzed the situation solemnly: "No, actually, I think Kiana is quite impressive. She knows she lacks the ability, so she simply delegates power to Bronya and Su Mu. That's a valid way to lead!"
"I agree with that much." Fu Hua nodded. Although Senti was mischievous, she was clever. Just as Senti thought, Fu Hua admired Kiana's courage. Delegating to Bronya was understandable given their relationship, but Kiana had trusted Su Mu even though they were strangers before he joined. One reason was his undeniable talent, but the other was Kiana's courage to trust those she employed. One never knows what a person with ill intent might do with that kind of power.
Of course, Fu Hua didn't know that the "Brilliant President Kiana" she was praising wished Su Mu was a spy or had malicious intentions, hoping he would drain the company and drive it into bankruptcy...
However, looking at the soaring metrics of Honkai Impact 3rd, President Kiana's soul was practically drifting into the void. If it weren't for her robust physical constitution, she might have ended up in the ICU.
"Stop talking about all that. Didn't the Chronicles update with new content? Hurry up and play!" Senti urged Fu Hua to open the Honkai Chronicles.
"Can't you play it yourself?"
"Playing alone is boring! It's only fun watching you play, Old Timer!"
"You really are..." Senti leaned in closer to Fu Hua, looking quite happy. Fu Hua sighed helplessly, but her eyes were full of doting affection. She had almost forgotten how much Senti loved to cling to her.
