Chapter 77

"Kiana, do you know? Master Songque returned a portion of her power to those Seven Arts."

"You can actually do the same."

Because in the original plot.

As Finality Kiana gathered her power, she told Siegfried that due to the siphon effect, the Herrscher cores on Earth would gradually go dormant and disappear.

Although in later plotlines.

Bronya, Mei, and the others were using Herrscher powers again.

To be precise, there is only one Herrscher core, and that is Finality.

It is the only Imaginary Singularity.

All others are dimensional projections.

As long as one masters it to a certain degree, they can continue to maintain the Herrscher abilities of others; Su Han intends to teach her this technique.

When it comes down to it.

Whether it is Master Songque, Finality Kiana, or the Evil God Suo.

They are all standard leaders, governing those beneath them.

So the main focus is researching Finality.

Obtain all Herrscher frameworks and leader frameworks, then reconstruct them.

By then.

Su Han plans to first reconstruct and load a Flame Herrscher template for Firefly, after all, she has a deep connection with fire.

Whether it is "I will ignite the sea."

Or Sam's attack methods, which also involve using thermal weapons to scorch, or directly blasting into a monster's body to evaporate the internal tissues with high heat.

This is a very effective tactic against the Swarm.

So, adding fire to fire.

Among these artificial human troops, Firefly is a standard human.

And there is nothing strange about researching Finality.

Suo is like this.

Mars is also like this.

Everyone is successively imitating and evolving toward the Cocoon, even naming themselves "Cocoon of XX" is fine.

Suo can even directly pass power to Vita.

Allowing her to possess the power to fight Herrschers.

So Su Han also intends to create a [Simulated Finality Cocoon] project for Firefly.

Adding Herrscher projects, one after another.

This situation of one leading many.

Firefly, now as the new Empress, fits this characteristic perfectly.

By then, she will bear the power of the Simulated Finality.

With a legion of mass-produced Herrschers under her command.

That would be quite impressive.

After all, the Cocoon searched for so long and only produced one Kiana, which shows it is indeed quite difficult.

But for Su Han.

A little challenge is good.

For his own Firefly, he must provide the best.

And the "Herrschers" under the Cocoon's command, if viewed through the lens of other civilizations, could actually be called "Cocoon Envoys."

This framework has a bit of the flavor of a minor Aeon.

It's just that the scale is much smaller.

But it doesn't matter, just keep ascending.

A small world can also glimpse great mysteries.

Kiana's theoretical knowledge is just too poor; having power is useless if she can't utilize it.

And this fusion alone is enough to take up all her time.

In the late stages of Honkai Impact 3rd, so many years have passed.

This person is still staying on the moon.

Thus, Su Han's project to analyze Finality Kiana proceeded slowly; with such close contact, Kiana sometimes could only turn her head away, blushing, or even close her eyes.

Hoping it would end quickly.

Sometimes the atmosphere would become increasingly ambiguous, causing her to hurriedly find a topic to disperse the mood.

Woo.

She had never been this close to a young man before.

However, this kind of close-range research.

Finality cooperated obediently and listened well.

If Venus "Suo" saw this, she would be envious, jealous, and hateful.

Suo wouldn't even dare to dream of this scene.

She wouldn't even dare to look from afar.

She would be killed instantly if she showed her head.

And that's not a joke.

The gap between the two sides is too vast.

Even though Suo has been harvesting energy from World Bubbles in the sea, after so many years, is this all she has?

In the end, it still depends on the Cocoon of Finality.

This is the tragedy of messing around blindly without even understanding the inner workings.

But Suo was already no different from being insane.

An Evil God.

And Su Han would sometimes accompany Kiana back to the Honkai Impact 3rd Earth.

Getting slightly familiar with the people around her.

Like right now.

Su Han was filming Bronya playing a game; this game was none other than the previous "Black Myth: Bronya."

Bronya was furious at the time.

What do you mean?

You put me into a game?

You didn't even ask for my opinion!

These words sounded familiar.

As a result, Su Han showed her the game development date and a series of development records and files, leaving Bronya puzzled—could it be that Su Han knew about her a long time ago?

The other party just shook his head.

"You're overthinking it. There are similar worlds in the galaxy; there isn't just one Bronya."

"But you can't even make the appearance the same!!!"

"Why is that impossible?"

"Maybe there's an even bigger Bronya, the triple-turbocharged Bronya type. Things like single-turbo Bronya, twin-turbo Bronya, triple-turbo, etc., those are all essential parts of the Bronya experience."

"Bronya feels like you are saying something very offensive!"

"Ah, I just love seeing that expression."

"You hateful guy, Project Bunny! Please target your firepower!"

Kiana was embarrassed at the time.

So Bronya was very dissatisfied afterward.

"If you have the ability, find another Bronya and show it to Bronya!"

"Isn't it roundabout to speak like that?"

"You!"

So the two made a deal that Su Han would let her see another version of herself later.

Otherwise, for this game.

She would never agree to use her own image.

Furthermore, she wanted to experience it herself first to see how it was made.

Which leads to the current scene.

At this moment.

Su Han said while filming.

"Silver Wolf, look at Bronya, how far has she gotten?"

"Look at you, you can't even beat a boss."

"You even almost choked the Tiger Vanguard to death later."

And in the screen in front of Bronya, the sound coming out was.

"Erudition's wondrous Dao, manifest divine spirit!"

"How hard it is to endure her will, I, Herta, understand better than you!"

"You, this Bronya, truly please me."

"Hiding secrets is useless; if you cannot endure, you are not worthy of being the Stellaron Hacker Bronya!"

"You, after all, are not her!"

A bunch of black lines had already appeared on Bronya's forehead.

Crazy!

Such heavy-handed dialogue!

"Bronya thinks this game is made very well, but the lines need to be changed; they are very abstract."

"It gave Bronya goosebumps."

"Is that so? This is pure mutual appreciation, although Herta herself really couldn't say lines like this."

Bronya: ...

Herta actually exists?

If she is your friend, I feel like she's going to beat you to death.

"But will this game be released? I feel like it should have good sales, although I don't really understand concepts like Erudition here."

"No, I'm just making it for fun. I'm not interested in fame or money."

This left Bronya dumbfounded.

Can you even do that?

After all, she wanted to join a game company in the future and participate in game development.

This is her passion for games!

She wants to see the recognition and love players have for the games she makes, thereby letting more people feel the charm of games.

So, facing Su Han, who also makes games.

Bronya rarely shared her thoughts and the games she wanted to make.

"Bronya will definitely make a very popular game in the future. Su Han, don't you think?"

"No, I think it will probably flop, or have poor sales."

As soon as these words came out.

Bronya's eyes became unkind.

What do you mean?

Are you just trying to oppose Bronya at every turn?

Bronya's Project Bunny is not blunt yet!

"You should know, Bronya is a top-tier gamer, so the games I make in the future definitely won't be bad. Su Han, you underestimate me too much."

Su Han chuckled.

"Is that so? Precisely because you are a top-tier player, you are more likely to get stuck in a rut."

"Look at this game of yours, the difficulty is so high. Perhaps you think it's simple, but for most people, it completely shuts them out, yet it hasn't reached the level of a niche masterpiece."

Then it only remains niche and obscure.

"It's a surefire way to discourage players from the start. There is a contradiction in making games: you can't make the difficult parts feel too hard, otherwise, there will be plenty of people criticizing you."

"So you must cater to the market. Even if you achieve a niche masterpiece, is it necessarily a good thing? Few players, lots of praise, means you can't make much money, while players' demands get higher and higher, eventually forcing you to your death."

"Being critically acclaimed but not commercially successful is a major taboo."

"And why is this one single-player?"

"Change it, make it an online game with long-term updates, catering to both PC and mobile. You should know that buy-to-play single-player games are already an outdated version."

"They are even a mechanism that should be eliminated."

These words made Bronya feel that the holy land in her heart had been greatly offended.

She was very angry.

"You are talking nonsense!"

"I haven't finished yet. It is because of the hobbies and passion of those game creators that single-player games have a place. Through those games, you can feel the creator's heart."

Bronya was just about to flare up, but was blocked by this sentence again.

Leaving her emotions stuck in limbo.

She could only glare at Su Han.

I almost couldn't keep my blade steady.

If I accidentally bury a friendly unit, don't blame Bronya.

And she saw Su Han shrug in response.

"Because I am a veteran single-player gamer, that's why I reached this conclusion. Single-player games seem to have high sales, millions, tens of millions, but the production process is long; they might not even come out for years, and a single DLC can take years."

"If you switch to an online game, you would have been updating continuously and making a fortune."

Bronya was a bit unconvinced.

"But tens of millions is already very strong, it already exceeds many online games."

"But in online games, there are plenty that make a fortune in silence. When you compare a top-tier horse to a low-tier horse, you have already lost. Just like the single-player games I liked back then, I found their sales were actually only hundreds of thousands or a million, while too many trash games far exceeded them."

"So you must understand one principle: 'The free ones are the most expensive'."

"Impossible! How can free be the most expensive?"

But just after saying this.

Bronya fell silent.

She thought about it, and it seemed, it really was the case.

So she was a bit dumbfounded and petrified.

Her voice was trembling.

"Bronya seems to understand a little. You mean you can't drive away most players, so you can set it to be free to play, and put a bunch of purchasable gift packs inside???"

"Correct."

"And the most critical part is the gacha. At first, you can set no pity, let the players spend a few waves, and when they can't take it anymore, you set the pity."

"Opening banners every period versus updating DLC for single-player games. You surely know the contrast in difficulty between these two, right? Single-player games are simply crushed."

Bronya's face twitched.

Heretic!

You should know, she developed games out of passion, not just for money!

As a result, Su Han's devilish voice came again.

"Then think about it, if you want to join a game company in the future, if the game sales are poor, it doesn't matter to you, but what about the employees? They have wives and children to support. Can you bear to watch everyone's lives get harder?"

"You have to make money first, right? This is the world of corporate slaves."

Bronya was already sweating profusely.

It, it seems to make a lot of sense!

Sorry.

It was Bronya who didn't consider that much.
