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

Bronya was the first to react, and immediately blushed.

"What the hell is that bastard Chiku doing?!"

Seele covered her mouth and giggled, her little face flushed.

The dialog box disappeared quickly, and a colorful startup image appeared, featuring bird heads of various colors and shapes, along with several panicked green pig heads.

The image above features several white artistic letters that read "Angry Birds"!

Chapter 29 Three Women Beat a Pig's Head

Once the game has finished loading, a short animated image will play automatically.

In the animated image, a group of colorful birds are looking around an empty nest with question marks on their faces; clearly, their eggs have been stolen.

As the camera panned, they discovered that a group of green pigs had stolen their bird eggs and were preparing to cook them.

The birds were furious and chased after the pig-headed man, beating him mercilessly. The pig-headed man ran away with the bird eggs, while the birds continued to chase and beat him.

The animation is less than a minute long, but it clearly explains the general plot.

The reason why the Angry Birds are angry is because the pig stole their eggs.

After seeing this, Bronya and the other two laughed.

Because the green pig stole the eggs, it transformed into an Angry Bird to take revenge?

The plot is so perfunctory.

However, for a typical small game, the plot is not important; as long as the core gameplay is attractive enough, that's enough.

After the animation, Bronya and her friends were presented with a map against a desert background, which also thoughtfully displayed four large characters: "Beginner's Guide".

Seeing this, Bronya nodded slightly. Most games have tutorials to help players quickly familiarize themselves with the rules of the game.

However, many people don't like playing the tutorial levels and skip directly into the game, resulting in scenes where they feel like they don't know who they are, where they are, and all they know is that they are about to go on a killing spree.

Bronya sometimes liked to jump, but she soon discovered that the game didn't seem to have a skip button.

Moreover, the so-called beginner tutorial is just a single screen: a red bird is stuck on a slingshot with a tree branch, and there is a green pig's head in front of it. The demonstration animation shows that you need to slide the mouse to pull the slingshot and choose the right angle to launch the bird. If you hit the pig's head, you win.

Bronya raised an eyebrow.

"This game is pretty simple."

With great interest, she clicked on the first level. On the vast grassland, a green pig's head was hiding in a house made of building blocks, while on the slingshot's side, there were three little red birds.

"So you're saying you're going to use three birds to hit this pig?"

Bronya immediately understood the meaning of the game, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

She casually pulled the slingshot with the mouse, launching the bird directly. As the bird flew, a very mesmerizing cry rang out.

"Ahhhhhh~~~Hey ya~"

The bird crashed into the block house, causing it to collapse instantly. The pig's head was hit directly, and a large 5000 points popped up on the screen. However, the blocks that were crushed by the bird and the blue blocks that were crushed by the blocks also exploded, popping up many 500 points. The remaining birds each provided 10000 points.

The final score is undoubtedly a full three stars!

The thrill of destruction gave Bronya a secret sense of satisfaction.

“This is too easy.” Bronya laughed as she moved the mouse. “But it’s quite interesting. Chiku’s game is pretty interesting.”

Seele and Hill nodded in agreement. Although the game was simple, the controls were quite satisfying.

Bronya eagerly clicked on the next level, and what came into view were four block pillars, but this time there were some stones on the blocks, and two pig heads were lying quietly on the stones.

"This time there are two objectives; as expected, the difficulty increases with each level."

Bronya, being a game creator herself, was quite familiar with this. She continued to control the bird on her slingshot, first hitting the first pillar, which then collapsed, hitting the second pillar and causing a chain reaction. The pig heads on the two pillars fell to the ground and shattered. Bronya successfully earned a perfect score.

"Interesting. It doesn't necessarily have to hit the pig's head. You can also kill the pig's head by smashing it or making it fall to its death by cleverly using a parabolic trajectory."

Bronya nodded repeatedly; the game had successfully piqued her interest.

Hill couldn't resist any longer: "Bronya, let me play the next level! I want to play too."

Bronya handed the mouse to Hill. The game was very easy to control, and Hill quickly got the hang of it.

The third level introduces a new bird, the yellow dartbird, nicknamed the Yellow Dartbird. It has strong penetrating power and can penetrate directly into the green pigs' sturdy block houses, causing significant damage.

As the three girls played more, various birds appeared one after another, such as Bomb Black, Blue Brother, and Big Red. Each of them had its own characteristics, while the green pigs' defenses became more and more tricky. Players needed to cleverly utilize the characteristics of the birds and choose the right launch angle to successfully kill the green pigs and pass the level.

The difficulty of the levels increased, and even Bronya needed to think and try several times before she could complete them. However, this did not dampen the three girls' interest in playing the game; on the contrary, it further fueled their determination to overcome the challenges.

Just as the three girls were having a great time, Bai Qianqu arrived at the coffee shop as promised.

Looking at the luxuriously decorated coffee shop in front of her, Bai Qianqu checked the address that Ai Li had sent her several times to make sure it was okay before going inside.

Upon entering, Bai Qianqu looked around and discovered that in addition to its luxurious decor, the cafe was filled with artistic elements. Most of the decorations on the walls were related to music, and there was even a piano in the corner that looked very expensive.

The coffee shop wasn't crowded; most people sat quietly drinking coffee, and when they did talk, they did so in hushed tones, creating a very quiet and elegant atmosphere.

Soon, a waiter in a tuxedo approached and politely asked, "Hello sir, are you alone?"

Just as Bai Qianqu was about to speak, she saw Ai Li waving at her from inside.

"I have an appointment." Bai Qianqu nodded to the waiter and walked directly towards Ai Li's table.

Ellie gestured for Bai Qianqu to sit down, her face beaming with a bright smile.

"Qianqu, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for half an hour."

"Sorry, I got lost." Bai Qianqu scratched his head sheepishly. He was unfamiliar with this place and had taken the wrong turn.

"It's okay, why would Ellie be angry with you?" Ellie handed the menu to Bai Qianqu. "Order whatever you like, just put it on Eden's tab."

Bai Qianqu was stunned. Good heavens, this Ai Li really doesn't treat herself like an outsider. Has Eden completely become her wallet?

Seeing Bai Qianqu looking stunned, Ai Li explained, "It's okay. This cafe is owned by Eden. You've noticed, right? It's a music cafe, and celebrities often come here."

Chapter 30 Croatian Rhapsody

Bai Qianqu wasn't too surprised to hear this. Many artists like to run small businesses, and Bai Qianqu even thought that if she had money in the future, she might open a small shop to retire and enjoy her retirement.

The coffee was served quickly. Bai Qianqu took a sip, and the bitter aroma filled her mouth. It was indeed a top-quality hand-ground coffee. This coffee shop in Eden was quite upscale.

Ellie added spoonful after spoonful of sugar to her coffee, complaining as she did so.

"Why is the coffee so bitter? I wish there was sweet coffee."

Bai Qianqu:

If coffee is made sweet, is it still coffee?

Just then, Ellie suddenly rubbed her eyes and looked at the piano with some surprise.

"Isn't that Siegfried, the male star of Destiny?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqu immediately turned her head to look and indeed found a very flamboyant guy sitting in front of the piano, striking a very artistic pose.

"Siegfried is a top-tier actor in Destiny, and he has starred in many famous movies," Ellie explained incessantly. "However, he was previously exposed for a scandal, saying that he had affairs with many female celebrities in private. Although we don't know if it's true or not, it has had a significant impact on his reputation. He has rarely appeared in the public eye recently."

"Everyone outside is saying that he went to another place, but I didn't expect him to still be in Changkong City."

Soon, Siegfried began to play the piano. The clear, crisp sound of the piano echoed in the quiet café, but it did not sound harsh.

It was clear that Siegfried's piano skills were quite high; after playing one piece, he even won a lot of applause.

Turning her gaze away, Ellie said with lingering interest, "This piano piece was composed by Eden, isn't it beautiful?"

Bai Qianqu nodded in deep agreement.

Although he doesn't know much about the piano, this piece does sound really nice.

Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in Bai Qianqu's mind.

[Ding! An excellent piano piece has been detected. Related task issued.]

[Pianist: As a versatile artist, you should focus on all-round development. Please come up on stage and play a piano piece. The piece "Croatian Rhapsody" has been temporarily assigned to you and will be retrieved after the task is completed.]

[Mission Successful: Reward: Professional-level piano skills.]

[Mission failed: Eden's favorability decreased by 10.]

Bai Qianqu was confused. Why would failing lower Eden's favorability?

However, as soon as the task was issued, Bai Qianqu's mind was instantly filled with all the knowledge about the piano. He looked at his hands, as if these hands had been playing the piano all his life. Just by thinking about the piece, his fingers began to move involuntarily.

In that instant, he seemed to have truly become a professional pianist.

Seeing Bai Qianqu looking at her hands, Ai Li couldn't help but tease, "What's wrong, Qianqu? Do you want to play some too?"

Bai Qianqu snapped out of her daze and smiled, "Yes, is that alright?"

Ellie was bewildered. She was just joking. Why was he really going to go up there?

You can play the piano?

Bai Qianqu nodded: "I understand a little bit."

"Great!" Ellie exclaimed excitedly. "We'll get to hear Chiku's performance! Let's go, let's go!"

Not far away, a woman wearing sunglasses was also stunned. She hadn't expected Bai Qianqu to be able to play the piano.

This made her even more curious about the old friend that Ellie had mentioned.

Bai Qianqu stood up and walked to the piano. Siegfried also came down from the stage. He looked at Bai Qianqu and gave her a friendly smile.

"Is this young man here to perform as well? Not bad, not bad, commendable courage, and quite handsome too, half as handsome as I was when I was young."

Bai Qianqu was speechless. She wondered what kind of luck Siegfried had to have to marry Cecilia with his character.

Siegfried patted Bai Qianqu on the shoulder, looking like he had faith in her, and walked away happily.

Bai Qianqu looked at the piano in front of her, took a deep breath, and walked up to it. At this moment, the customers in the coffee shop couldn't help but show their anticipation when they saw that someone was going to play again.

Siegfried's performance was excellent, and the fact that others dared to take over shows that they are at least confident in their skills.

Bai Qianqu sat down at the piano, slowly raised his hands, and recalled the score of "Croatian Rhapsody" in his mind. This familiarity made it seem as if he had played it thousands of times. As his fingers fell, the notes leaped up quickly.

The woman in sunglasses, who had been sitting casually, immediately straightened up upon hearing the piano music.

Her first reaction was: This is a piano piece I've never heard before.

With her skill level, she naturally recognized the unique aspects of the piece instantly.

The melody is stirring yet steady, and the brisk rhythm is full of passion and high spirits.
