Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

This time it was the flight attendant's turn to be frustrated.

The next two days were a rare period of leisure. Bai Qianqu cleaned both her studio and home thoroughly. With the New Year approaching, everything had to be spotless.

After finishing his work that morning, he lay down on the sofa to rest and, unusually, began to plan for the future.

Qu Yin is currently busy participating in the War of the Gods, and has several songs waiting to be released next year, making him a very busy person.

The anime is currently serializing "Initial D" and its popularity is rising rapidly.

On the surface, Qian Jian is still writing "The King's Avatar," but in reality, he has been putting it off for a long time.

It's time to find something for Qianjian to do!

Although "The King's Avatar" is not finished yet, it doesn't stop him from starting to prepare for the next one. When the previous one is finished, he will have a million words of manuscript for the next one. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

What will you write next?

Bai Qianqu thought and thought, and then remembered that she had a golden selection box, which said that she could choose a golden prize.

Let's choose our next novel from this box! Let's see what golden prize we can get.

Bai Qianqu took the box out of the system warehouse, wiped off non-existent dust, and muttered to herself.

What good stuff can you get from it?

[Ding! The Golden Selection Box guarantees three golden prizes. You can choose one to claim. Before opening, you can select the type of golden prize!]

After hearing the system's introduction, Bai Qianqu didn't hesitate and immediately set the genre to novel.

"Turn on!"

As golden light emanated, three golden orbs of light sprang out of the box, circled Bai Qianqu once, and finally stopped in front of him.

Bai Qianqu stared intently and couldn't help but gasp.

[Ghost Blows Out the Light!]

[Romance of the Three Kingdoms!]

【The Wandering Earth!】

Bai Qianqu: (?Δ?∥)！ ！ ！

Holy crap, you're really releasing it?

Not only did they give out gold, but they also played these three royal flushes?

How am I supposed to choose?

Isn't this forcing people to suffer from decision paralysis?

Bai Qianqu asked tentatively, "Can I have them all?"

[The host is thinking of eating P.]

Bai Qianqu felt a little upset. Opening the golden selection box was supposed to be a happy thing, but now it had turned into the most upsetting thing.

The most painful thing in the world is not loss, but having something so close yet being unable to obtain it.

If possible, he would rather not open the box than see these gold prizes.

It's a choice between three, meaning I'm destined to lose the other two!

It felt like the system was forcing me to choose between Nguyen Mai, Fireworks, and the Black Swan.

Are you feeling uncomfortable?

feeling bad.

Bai Qianqu finally took a deep breath and hugged Gromi who was passing by.

"I cannot make a choice, so I leave the final decision to you! Go, Grommy!"

Bai Qianqu took out three balls of yarn of different colors, and Gromy's eyes were immediately drawn to them.

"The yellow one is 'Ghost Blows Out the Light,' the blue one is 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' and the red one is 'The Wandering Earth'! Whoever gets caught first, I'll choose them!"

As Bai Qianqu spoke, she simultaneously tossed three balls of yarn into the air.

He stared intently at the ball in the air, his gaze incredibly sharp!

Finally, its eyes locked onto one of them, and it pounced on it with lightning speed!

Bai Qianqu picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on the paper. Eventually, a tall man and a fat man appeared on the paper.

Perhaps feeling it wasn't enough, he added a few more strokes.

The man was holding a compass covered in runes, while the fat man was holding a candle whose flame was flickering violently, as if it would go out at any moment.

The environment around them was also very gloomy and terrifying, as if they were in some kind of tunnel. Not far behind them was a coffin with the lid half open. A hairy hand reached out from the coffin and rested on the edge of the coffin, but the two of them did not seem to notice it.

Looking at the work before her, Bai Qianqu nodded in satisfaction.

"Humans light candles, ghosts blow them out!"

That's right, Gromy ultimately chose the yellow ball of yarn, and is now chasing it all over the place.

"This guy," Bai Qianqu said with a chuckle, looking at it, "seems to really like yellow."

Bai Qianqu put away the sketch of Ghost Blows Out the Light on the table; he planned to use it as the cover of the novel.

After putting everything away, he sat down at his computer, ready to relax by watching some videos on Pixiv.

There are still quite a few cover versions on Pixiv, and Bai Qianqu's homepage has several. In addition to the previous ones, the most recent cover of "Xiaochou" has the most people and a lot of views, with the lowest being 100,000.

Bai Qianqu casually clicked on one of the songs to listen to, and nodded silently. She had to admit that there are many talented people out there. Although these cover singers could not reach the level of the original singers, they still had the skills, and at least their emotions were quite good.

After listening for a while, Bai Qianqu suddenly saw the title of a short video: "Qu Yin, Qian Jian and Zhi Yin, the secret between the three of them that must be told!" Looking at the number of views, it actually had more than a million.

Bai Qianqu's eyes widened, and she clicked on it out of curiosity.

This video was posted by a popular content creator named "Quail Deer Man".

Chapter 247 The Iron Triangle

This "Quail Deer Man" is a talk show creator with over a million followers, making him quite well-known. In addition, most of his opinions are reasonable and convincing, so his videos always attract a lot of people.

In this video, the Quail Deer Man puts Qu Yin, Qian Jian, and Zhi Yin together, giving them the title of "Iron Triangle," and infers their relationship based on the current clues.

In the video, he said the following:

Currently, Qianjian and Quyin seem to have the most interactions, indicating the closest relationship. Based on their mutual reposting of each other's posts, it's clear they've helped each other on an equal footing. Therefore, I boldly speculate that they are likely inseparable best friends in real life, perhaps even sharing a close bond! Have you noticed that whenever one of them posts, the other always reposts it within minutes? This leads me to the conclusion that they probably coordinated their posts beforehand, or even were together when they posted them!

Upon seeing this, the comment section immediately became lively.

[Holy crap! That makes sense! I knew it! That explained why they always post updates together—that's how their relationship is!]

[These two definitely know each other privately! Otherwise, they wouldn't post updates together so frequently in quick succession!]

I'm really curious about their relationship. Are they friends? Lovers? Siblings? Sisters?

This has been discussed online for a while now, but unfortunately Qu Yin hasn't shown herself, and Ni Shang is also being secretive, so nobody can guess who she is. As for Qian Jian, there's even less information available except for his username!

These two are so mysterious! Like attracts like!

Don't forget about Zhiyin too; he hasn't provided any information either.

At this point in the video, the Quail Deer Man continued:

[Speaking of Zhiyin, this artist has only recently emerged. Many people have probably read his manga "Initial D," and to be honest, I'm currently following it myself. Manga with a racing theme is really rare. Most importantly, his manga demonstrates excellent sketching skills, showing that Zhiyin is a very talented artist.]

When he released his comic, both Qu Yin and Qian Jian followed him, and he became the second person on their following lists. This shows that Zhiyin's relationship with both of them is not ordinary; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to receive attention from both of them simultaneously.

The comments section also erupted in heated discussion.

Initial D! My absolute favorite! I jumped in without thinking!

[A brand new and acclaimed racing-themed manga! The plot and art style are both outstanding!]

I've noticed that all three members of the "Iron Triangle" are incredibly talented; each excels in their respective fields! None of them are weak!

[Indeed! Although Zhiyin is a rising star, as long as Initial D performs consistently, his achievements in the manga world will be no less than those of Senken!]

The Quail Deer Man continued his eloquent speech.

[Both Qu Yin and Zhi Yin's names contain the character 'yin' (音). If the two weren't related, this might just be a coincidence. But now it seems things aren't so simple. As we all know, people think things through when choosing a username, and the names they choose often carry a story behind them. For example, my name... I'm sure you all know what I mean, haha.]

[When Qu Yin and Zhi Yin chose their names, they must have had their own considerations. Everyone has always felt that Qu Yin's name is mainly because he works in the music industry. As a composer, he's skilled in music and plays all night long, so naming himself Qu Yin is quite reasonable. But what about Zhi Yin? Drawing comics doesn't seem to have anything to do with music, right? However, since she chose this name, there must be another layer of meaning. I think the so-called 'Zhi Yin' might be a homophone for 'Zhi Yin' (知音), which has three meanings: one is being skilled in music all night long, one is a close friend, and the other is to express deep understanding and correct evaluation.]

[I think the most likely interpretation of this "sound of the melody" is that she feels she is a kindred spirit of the melody, understanding and knowing it very well.]

At this point, netizens were also completely confused. Was "Zhiyin" actually "Zhiyin"?

Although it's just speculation, it makes some sense, doesn't it?

Quail Deer Man: [Zhiyin was the last to join the Iron Triangle group. She's like a junior, or even a little sister, to Quyin and Qianjian. As soon as she released "Initial D," Quyin and Qianjian immediately reposted her post, faster than ever before! You can see the interval between their posts—less than a minute!]

The video included screenshots of the two people's posts, and thoughtfully enlarged the timestamps of when they posted them.

It definitely took no more than a minute from start to finish!

【Holy crap! It really happened! They found out?!】

[Now we have no choice but to believe the unspoken secret between Qu Yin and Qian Jian!]

[Both of them are so doting on Zhiyin! Her work was just released and it was already being shared by these two big shots, I'm so envious! I also want to be pampered by Quyin and Qianjian~~~~]

Wake up, you'll crush someone with your size.

Although both Qu Yin and Qian Jian strongly recommended Zhi Yin, the main reason was that Zhi Yin herself had sufficient strength. However, in other words, if she wasn't strong enough, she wouldn't have been able to join the Iron Triangle group.

Indeed, the "Iron Triangle" (a trio of high-achieving individuals) are all exceptionally strong, with all four dimensions (physical, aesthetic, and functional) maxed out.

Bai Qianqu stared dumbfounded at the video of the Quail Deer Man, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

This guy's analysis was very insightful, and in a sense, some of what he said was actually correct.

Qu Yin and Qian Jian do know each other and even live together. Right now, they're both lying on the same sofa, wearing the same pair of pants.

Bai Qianqu reached up and pulled up her pants, wiping away cold sweat with lingering fear.

This content creator actually suspected this much based on the time of the post's repost and some clues. Although there are many guesses, they are indeed very close to the truth.

Bai Qianqu secretly became wary, realizing that the two of them must stagger their social media posts from now on, and could no longer seamlessly switch accounts.

In the video, the Quail Deer Man was still talking big, but what followed was mostly nonsense, all speculating about the relationship between the three, and even concluding with a love triangle theory, making the relationship between the three incredibly complicated.

Bai Qianqu lost interest and closed the video. Just as he stretched and was about to play a game, he noticed a friend request in his phone's contacts.
