Chapter 78

Ignoring the situation of the employees.

"And you can make money first, then go develop the games you want. Just take a detour, go around it, and you can have the best of both worlds."

These words made Bronya's eyes light up.

That's right!

"After all, pure single-player game companies, you can check it out, haven't they all gone bankrupt one after another? What is the main theme of the market? Facts don't lie, data doesn't lie."

"And don't listen to Kiana's opinions too much."

In the late stages of Honkai Impact 3rd, Kiana was always filling in "Very Simple."

Bronya believed it.

But that was Finality Kiana.

Which led to Li Li Sushang and the others being confused.

Why is the game difficulty getting higher and higher? Is this meant for humans to play?

Bronya also listened earnestly, as if she had encountered the guiding light of her life, and Su Han also talked about things like first-purchase bonuses, equipment, necklaces, skins, socketing, gems, enchanting, amplification, forging, and so on.

And one must make players fight fiercely.

The more you torture them, the better.

This is the key magic weapon for harvesting adults.

The older they are, the more they fall for this.

Just get the guild wars and alliance wars going.

Gacha is another thing; monthly cards are like charcoal in the snow, the focus is on making money from 2-constellation and above.

Bronya has attained enlightenment.

Making money first is the true path.

So she also came up with quite a few ideas, and then started laughing with Su Han.

Kiana on the side: ...

You two, act like humans!

You're laughing too sinisterly.

I'm speechless.

She even felt a chill!

How does it feel like Bronya was led astray by Su Han.

I didn't expect these two to get familiar so quickly; is this the tacit understanding of being gamers?

Sure enough, having common hobbies makes things convenient.

And Bronya hesitated.

"Um, how about we forget about that bet from earlier, the one about letting me see another Bronya."

"No, I keep my word. As a price, you have to let me study your authority."

Bronya was alert.

"How will you study it?"

As a result, Su Han discussed with her, only having her manufacture weapons, completely unlike Kiana.

Which made Kiana's fists clench.

Why?

Why are you so nice to Bronya?

As if Su Han knew what she was thinking, in his chat with Bronya, he mentioned.

"Because Kiana is the main body, she connects you all, so in the process of studying her, it doesn't have to be so troublesome for you; I can collect data through the connections and your usage."

"I see, Bronya understands. Then let's make Kiana suffer a bit more."

Kiana: ???

She was stunned.

Bronya, you!

In fact, Bronya felt that if there were any danger in the research, Kiana would definitely say so, letting everyone think of a way together, but she didn't say anything, which means it's actually fine.

So what's wrong with making this idiot Kiana suffer a bit more?

Kiana also had words she couldn't say.

How can I say this out loud!

You hateful group leader, you just know how to manipulate me.

Looking at this contrast.

Kiana was furious inside; someone is really as cunning as a dog!

She was sour.

...Not yet.

And the progress of these studies is not a matter of a single day.

Just like Herta's Simulated Universe.

It also takes time.

So Su Han would also head to other worlds to perfect other inventions.

Teyvat, Fontaine.

"Flowing water, draw blade!"

"Transform!"

Furina stood here, clad in armor and holding the Sword of All Waters.

Water Swordsman!

And at this moment, Su Han tossed her several Wonder Ride Books.

Furina hurriedly caught them and looked at them curiously.

"[Ocean Tour Judge], [Twin Fairy Knights], [Deep Valley Sword], [Viviane of the Lake], [Hermit King Dorku]."

These voices sounded one after another.

Making her very pleasantly surprised.

"So many?"

"Yes, you also know that a swordsman can use two books at the same time, or even three. So I'm giving these to you; just use them as you see fit later."

The stories of these Wonder Ride Books.

All originated from Fontaine's "Local Legends."

And the quantity exceeded expectations.

Two would have been enough.

But Su Han thought, anyway, they were made casually, it's fine.

At this time, Furina had already started trying them out.

She took one out and opened it.

"[Hermit King Dorku]!"

"The king who, in legend, guarded countless Blubberbeasts and repelled the Seahorse of the Lake!"

As she inserted it into the Seiken Swordriver.

Two huge books appeared behind her, and a massive splash of water rose up!

At this moment, one side of Furina's armor automatically changed its appearance.

"Flowing water, two volumes!"

"The power of the tracking waves resides in the Sword of All Waters!"

Looking at the enemies rushing forward, Furina activated her ability; one large blue water energy orb after another floated in front of her, and then with a wave of her hand, they all killed toward them.

In an instant, the group of monsters crawling out of the water was blown into fragments.

And the ground shook incessantly.

It could be called an elegant and composed fighting style, and the power was outstanding.

Then she turned into water splashes and disappeared from here.

On the other side.

At this moment, two Fontaine people outside were suddenly chased by a giant frog monster.

They were terrified.

Some even fell to the ground in extreme fear.

Scaring the other person into hurriedly trying to pull her up.

"Forget about me, you run!"

"But, let's go together!"

"Enough, if we keep doing this, no one will get away!"

The next moment, the giant frog was blown into fragments by a sudden energy water orb; the two were stunned, hurriedly looking around, and found a familiar figure standing on a stone hill.

Then the other party disappeared.

They were suspicious and uncertain.

"Water, is that Lady Furina?"

"Seems like she's gone, but thank you, thank you Lady Furina for saving us!"

In fact.

Furina was still there.

This Wonder Ride Book also possessed the ability of [Wave-Walking Invisibility], which is invisibility.

However, she hadn't seen this giant frog before.

An otherworld monster?

And after returning, Furina also used other Wonder Ride Books.

This experience was super great!

Each book had different abilities.

And they could be used in combination.

And they were all water-attribute.

After all, that's how swordsmen are: two books, three books, and then very powerful single books, stacking up layer by layer.

The [Chronicle of the Origin Pure Water Knight] that Su Han gave before.

Was a very strong Wonder Ride Book.

Mid-to-late game equipment.

And Su Han took out another one.

"These are just your regular Wonder Ride Books; I almost forgot, here is this [Book Gate] for you, to make traveling easier. I've set up quite a few teleportation points here in your Teyvat; with this, you can move more conveniently."

"For example."

He opened this Wonder Ride Book.

On it was a pattern like a black vortex, with light around it, looking very mysterious.

The Ride Book automatically made a sound.

"[Book Gate!]"

A vortex of light appeared in front, turning into a door.

"[Open Gate!]"

A strange passage appeared behind the door, like a spiraling bookshelf tower, only it was horizontal, thus forming a path.

Su Han walked straight in.

This made Furina hurriedly follow.

When she also entered, the door disappeared completely.

The next moment.

What appeared in front of Furina was a strange building; the surroundings were all walls, full of alchemical style and metal facilities, and not far away, lights were on at intervals, while in the middle was a creation similar to a gear.

Above was a very large mechanical core.

It could be seen that this adopted an [optical coupling] transmission design.

Furina was a bit strange.

"Here?"

"Looks a bit familiar, seems to be..."

Su Han gave the answer.

"The [Tower of Ipsissimus] of the Narzissenkreuz Ordo, also known as the [Gestalt]; this was the stronghold of those people back then."

Furina suddenly realized.

"I remember now, that was a long and distant time ago."

"Once, Fontaine officials discovered that a mysterious organization was operating in the dark, so some personnel launched an investigation and locked the target onto the [Institute], suspecting those people were inside."

"Later it was discovered that it was this so-called Narzissenkreuz Ordo."

Finally, it was judged as an [illegal radical organization].

Orders were issued to capture all personnel.

And they demanded the closure of this place, which is the [Gestalt].

As a result, the people of the Narzissenkreuz Ordo engaged in fierce resistance and fighting with Fontaine's official organizations, and the final decisive battle unfolded inside the giant beast [Elynas].

It was very tragic at the time.

After all, there were many steel creations and autonomous machines.

And it also triggered an explosion.

The impact of the explosion caused many metal fragments to pierce into the flesh of [Elynas], thus giving birth to a new species.

[Melusine].

This is the origin story of that race.

So Furina could naturally think of it immediately.

But now, savoring the name [Gestalt].

She was a bit surprised.

"It seems Firefly mentioned before that on a planet she and you, Group Leader, went to, humans once launched a [Gestalt Project]; is this a kind of fate?"

Firefly seemed to have said that at the time.

The [Gestalt Project] was to extract human souls to avoid physical illness.

In summary, it was to avoid disaster.

Su Han also nodded.

"Correct, in fact, it has the same effect as yours here, because the Narzissenkreuz Ordo's plan was also to extract human souls to avoid an unprecedented catastrophe."

"Which is the [Rising Waters and Prophecy] event that you in Fontaine have always been worried about."

Fontaine has a prophecy.

That is, Fontaine people are born with sin.

So one day.

Fontaine's sea level will rise continuously until the entire nation is submerged, and all Fontaine people will dissolve in the sea.

Only the God of Water will remain, weeping on the throne.

Furina was shocked.

"Why extract souls too? What do they want to do?"

"This organization was sealed too quickly back then, and there wasn't much intelligence or the true meaning of their actions; I remember it was the order of the Court and Neuvillette at the time."

And Su Han opened a Wonder Ride Book.

Directly projecting several figures.

"Then, this has to start from these few people: Rene, Jakob, Alain, Mary-Ann. Back then, during the reign of your first God of Water, the [Narzissenkreuz Institute] was established specifically to raise orphans and the children of criminals."

These children lived here.

It's just that good times didn't last long.

The Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah struck, the old master of the Water Nation [Egeria] fell in Sumeru, the giant beast [Elynas] also rushed toward Fontaine aggressively, and at the same time, the sea level rose, and the Narzissenkreuz Institute was about to be submerged.

So these children were sent away and placed in other families.

Later, these children grew up.
