MTLNOVEL Chapter 473: Chapter 466: What kind of hellish joke is that…
Ah~ The brilliance you exude completely enchants me... I'm utterly captivated...〉
Everyone, 〈...〉
Kiana☆, 〈??? 〉
--------------------------------
The corners of Fu Lin's mouth twitched slightly. He raised his hand and shouted loudly,
"Mr. Otto, please calm down for a moment. I can completely feel the excitement in your heart right now. So now, let's begin playing the first video."
[Miss Lily] Otto, upon hearing this, said, 〈Alright, alright, my friend. I still have so many compliments I want to say...〉
However, when faced with a barrage of comments floating across the screen saying "Shut up!", Otto smiled helplessly and had no choice but to shut his mouth.
[At the start of the video, a cheerful Ai-chan with a sweet smile appeared on screen, chatting happily,
"Let's have fun playing Honkai Impact 3rd today too~"
However, just as her voice trailed off, with a crisp "click," a prominent clapperboard suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, a loud voice abruptly rang out, "Cut! That's a wrap, we're done!"
This sudden announcement felt like it pressed pause on the whole scene.
In an instant, the bright, blossoming smile on Ai-chan's face vanished as if by magic.
It was replaced by a few soft coughs, and then a deeply bitter expression, as if she had just eaten a bitter melon, muttering, "I'm so hungry!"
Behind her, the background cockpit of the Hyperion slowly began to move.
Next, a crew member was seen pushing the massive background prop past from behind with great effort.]
Himeko, 〈This girl looks a lot like the Hyperion's Ai, Ai-chan, but that place is a lot bigger.〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈That's pretty much how Ai-chan looked when I first met her in the underground cave. Later, she lost most of her memory and powers, becoming what she is now.〉
Kiana blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, 〈Is Ai-chan in the video... acting?〉
Bronya, resting her chin on her hand, replied thoughtfully, 〈Seems like she's filming a promotional video for a game called "Honkai Impact 3rd." But the host said our world is called "Honkai III." Could it be that someone made our world into a game?〉
At that moment, ever-helpful Fu Lin cleared his throat and explained to Kiana and Bronya,
"Ahem, 'Honkai Impact 3rd' is a sci-fi action adventure game developed in-house by miHoYo.
It features fully 3D cell-shaded visuals, free jumping 3D combat, limitless combo branches, and an incredibly satisfying hit feedback…
Gripping stories from the Honkai series, immersive stage narratives, and a star-studded voice cast will bring you an unprecedented sense of immersion."
Hearing this, Kiana's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if she couldn't wait to try the game herself.
Kiana, 〈It sounds so fun! The story must be really great!〉
Fu Lin grinned, revealing a row of clean, neat white teeth, and confidently replied,
"If someone asked me, 'What kind of story is Honkai III telling?' I would definitely tell them—It's a healthy, wholesome, and uplifting story."
Kiana, 〈Wow! Cool~ I really want to play it too!〉
Kiana☆, who's already experienced the story, 〈...No, you don't.〉
Mei☆, 〈Healthy and uplifting?〉
Fu Shi, 〈Recommending someone to play Honkai? May thunder strike you...〉
Fu Lin turned his head guiltily and said, "Ahem, let's keep watching the video."
[In the blink of an eye, the scene shifted dramatically. Ai-chan peeked out cautiously from behind a wall, eyes half-squinted, nervously looking around, and whispered, "I'm starving~ Is there any leftover snacks in the backstage storage?"
Just then, a cry filled with grief and indignation suddenly rang out.
"Exactly!"
This unexpected response made Ai-chan widen her eyes in shock, staring suspiciously in the direction of the voice.
She saw a slender, fair hand tightly gripping a can of bitter melon juice and slamming it hard onto the table without hesitation.
With a loud thud, the can made intimate contact with the table surface, and then a figure everyone was familiar with slowly emerged—
Our queen (strikethrough), the Frigid Empress!
At this moment, the Frigid Empress lay sprawled on the table, her body trembling slightly. Her clear eyes shimmered with tears, and her pale cheeks were tinged with a faint blush, adding to her pitiful charm.
"It was so hard to come back even once!"
Amid soft sobbing, the Frigid Empress pounded the table with her hands, crying out in grievance,
"It wasn't like this before…"
Watching this scene from the side, Himeko also felt a mix of emotions. She sighed gently and softly comforted her,
"You'll get used to it~"
However, despite Himeko's consolation, the Frigid Empress still didn't feel any better, drowning in her sadness.
"I... I used to be so dignified…"
The next second, the Frigid Empress sniffled and said,
"Now even little kids can toy with me…"
Himeko furrowed her brows slightly and comforted her,
"There, there."]
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Is the Herrscher of the Void holding bitter melon juice? It looks pretty tasty!〉
Kiana, 〈That's the Herrscher of the Void? She's being messed with by little kids?〉
Sirin, 〈Absurd! How could I possibly be toyed with by children!〉
Mei, 〈It's hard to believe that this person is the same Herrscher of the Void who once grabbed the class monitor by the throat on the deck. Their temperament is so different.〉
[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈...〉
Fu Shi, 〈Ahem, Mei, mind your words.〉
Mei, 〈Uh, class monitor, I didn't mean it like that…〉
[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈It's fine. I didn't take it to heart.〉
Bronya, 〈Bronya also finds it hard to believe that the majestic Herrscher of the Void could show such an expression.〉
Kiana☆, 〈Her personality actually resembles the current Sirin's quite a bit…〉
Sirin, 〈How dare you!〉
Bella, 〈No matter what kind of queen she is, Bella likes her!〉
Sirin, 〈...Bella, shut up!〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Hahaha...〉
Sirin, 〈Human, what are you laughing at?!〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Ahem, I just suddenly remembered a really funny joke.〉
Sirin, 〈Let's hear it then?〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Ahem, there were three people imprisoned in Anti-Entropy's jail, and they were discussing why they got arrested. One said, "I opposed President Raiden." Another said, "I supported President Raiden." And the third said, "I am Raiden Ryoma". Hahaha… Truly hilarious.〉
Everyone, 〈...〉
Fu Lin's mouth twitched, muttering, "What kind of hellish joke is that…"
Raiden Ryoma, 〈Otto, you ＊＊＊＊!〉
