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

"I just write it down whenever inspiration strikes," Bai Qianqu said, making it up. "The main thing is that the movie atmosphere is right."

"Alright, stop being modest," Bronya crumpled the tissue in her hand. "Judging from the current situation, this movie is probably going to be a hit, which means your song is guaranteed to be a success, and it might even make it into the top twenty!"

Top 20!

That's the fiercest battleground for top players! Even top-tier B-rank players have a hard time getting in! Looking at the leaderboard, it's almost entirely filled with A and S-rank players, with only a few B-rank players, and C-rank players don't even qualify to participate. Just then, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

The mission has begun.

[Ding! New mission issued - Rapids Adventure!]

[Rushing Forward: As a future great artist, how can you stand still? Release a song on the October New Song Chart and participate! Experience firsthand the fierce competition in the entertainment industry!]

[Task Successful: System Shop Unlocked! If you rank in the top 20, you'll receive an extra Super Lottery chance! The Super Lottery guarantees a winning ticket!]

[Mission failed: Two million deducted!]

Bai Qianqu's face darkened. This damn system actually had its eye on the money he had painstakingly saved for his wife!

How can we rest!

However, upon seeing the rewards in the system shop, he curiously asked in his mind, "System shop? What's that?"

[Ding! You can now purchase various items with unique functions in the system shop!]

[“Singing, Dancing, and Rap Potion”! Drinking this potion will temporarily boost your singing and performing skills! Lasts for two and a half hours! Priced at only 25,000 yuan!]

[Memory Enhancement Capsules! After consumption, users will gain photographic memory and superhuman comprehension! Duration: Two hours! Price: 100,000!]

More exquisite items will be available in the store after they are unlocked!

Bai Qianqu was dumbfounded. What kind of stuff was this system selling? Why did it feel so strange?

Also, "The Mysterious Potion of Mepoli"?

Are you really eyeing my gender?

What's wrong with me, a grown man?

And what's with "Singing, Dancing, and Rap Potion"? Good grief, the Little Black System is showing its true colors, isn't it!

However, upon closer inspection, there are some good products among them. Although the names are a bit strange, the effects are real!

Improve your acting skills, and enhance your memory and comprehension abilities!

You might need it someday.

Putting everything else aside, just for these things alone, this system mall absolutely has to be opened.

As the saying goes: I may not use it, but I cannot live without it!

Bronya also said that she still has a good chance of making it into the top twenty.

Bai Qianqu naturally trusted Bronya's judgment completely.

Just as the two were about to get up and leave, a figure suddenly blocked Bai Qianqu and Bronya's path.

Bai Qianqu looked up and saw that it was the same girl with the snow-white high ponytail from before. She was still wearing a mask, but she had taken off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of very beautiful gray-blue eyes.

"Excuse me," the young woman said politely in a soft voice, "I overheard your conversation. May I ask if you two composed the theme song for this movie?"

As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Bai Qianqu.

Since everyone had heard it, Bai Qianqu didn't intend to pretend to be stupid. Seeing that there was no one else around, she nodded generously: "Yes, I wrote it."

"That's great!" the girl exclaimed excitedly. "Oh, how rude of me, I haven't introduced myself yet."

But before she could speak, Bronya, who was standing next to her, spoke up.

"Ayaka Kamisato, the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, is a famous singer and dancer known as the 'White Heron Princess.' As a prominent family in Inazuma Province, the Kamisato family manages most of the cultural industries within Inazuma, making them a behemoth in the Inazuma entertainment industry."

Ayaka Kamisato paused for a moment, then smiled and removed her mask, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

"This must be Miss Bronya, the head agent of Anti-Entropy. I've heard so much about you, but seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved. Yes, I am Ayaka Kamisato. Good evening, both of you. This is my attendant, Luo Zi."

Bronya seemed to dislike her, and said coldly, "I wonder why Lady Kamisato has stopped us?"

As she spoke, Bronya pinched Bai Qianqu hard from behind.

Bai Qianqu bit her lower lip to keep from crying out.

Ayaka Kamisato seemed not to notice, and continued to smile as she said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see the recently renowned Mr. Kyon. Hmm, he is indeed a young talent. It's a pleasure to meet you. However, this is not the place to chat. Would you please move to the tea room next door?"

Bronya snorted and said reluctantly, "Can't you just get to the point? We're very busy."

Linghua didn't say anything, she just looked at the two of them with a smile.

Helpless, Bai Qianqu could only coax the willful Big Duck: "They need to see us, let's go over there. I'll treat you to something delicious right away."

Hearing this, Bronya reluctantly nodded.

The two followed Linghua to a teahouse not far away.

Looking at the Japanese-style tea room in front of her, with the words "Wooden Leak" carved on a wooden board, Bai Qianqu had a strong sense of déjà vu.

“This is a business run by the Kamisato family, and this is a branch in Changkong City,” Bronya whispered behind Bai Qianqu. “The owner is a Shiba Inu, and the guests have to put their money in a small box in their room to pay. It’s so strange.”

Bai Qianqu was also a little puzzled. He didn't know why the gentle, kind, and polite Big Duck seemed to have a strong hostility towards Ayaka Kamisato.

However, it wasn't appropriate to ask now, so I could only follow them into the tea room.

"Taro Maru, I've brought a guest."

As soon as she entered, Ayaka Kamisato greeted a Shiba Inu on the counter in front of the door.

The Shiba Inu glanced lazily at Bai Qianqu and Bronya, then lay down to sleep again.

Chapter 76 The Dilemma of the Kamisato Family

Ayaka Kamisato knelt at the doorway, then opened the door to a room and gestured for people to enter.

"You two, please come in."

The room has a retro Japanese tatami floor, with only a low table and four cushions.

Bai Qianqu was in a place like this for the first time, and she was a little flustered. Bronya gave her instructions with a helpless expression.

"Take off your shoes. Are you planning to go in with them on?"

"Don't step on the family crest on the edge of their tatami mat!"

"Are you really going to sit cross-legged like this? Fine, just sit like this then."

It has to be said that these rules are quite overwhelming, but if it's a traditional Chinese tea ceremony to entertain guests, there seem to be even more rules.

Ayaka Kamisato was not angry at Shiro Chiku's rudeness; instead, she showed a kind smile.

"The two of you have such an enviable relationship."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqu and Bronya both blushed and waved their hands repeatedly.

No! It's not what you think!

As she spoke, Bronya suddenly glared at Bai Qianqu, seemingly very dissatisfied with what he had said.

Ayaka Kamisato covered her mouth with her folding fan and laughed, "Please have some tea, guest."

Attendant Luo Zi brought out tea sets, and Shen Li Ling Hua personally brewed tea for the two of them. The pale green tea emitted a very pleasant fragrance.

Bai Qianqu immediately perked up!

“Good tea!”

This tea tastes much better than the tea from the Thunder Dragon Horse!

(At this moment, Raiden Ryoma was admiring his collection of tea leaves when he suddenly sneezed. He wiped his nose and looked around suspiciously.)

Bronya sipped her tea dejectedly: "Of course, this is Jade Dew. Look at the shape of these tea leaves, they are tightly rolled, smooth, and have a deep green color with white down, just like jade dew."

"I didn't expect Miss Bronya to have such a profound understanding of the tea ceremony," Ayaka Kamisato said, setting down her teacup and sitting upright.

"Compared to Lady Kamisato, my skills are nothing at all." Bronya's reply was ambiguous.

Ayaka Kamisato didn't care about Bronya's sharp retort. She turned her head to Shiro Chiku and said, "Teacher Qu Yin, I invited you here today because I really have something I want to ask of you."

Bai Qianqu put down her teacup and said seriously, "Miss Shenli, you are too kind. Please speak. I would be happy to help if it is possible."

Ayaka Kamisato hesitated for a moment before saying, "To be honest, I would like to ask Mr. Quyin to write a song for my friend."

"Writing songs?" Bai Qianqu was taken aback. "Writing songs is not a problem, but why didn't Miss Shenli find someone else? With the connections of the Shenli family, it would be easy to find a B-level or even A-level composer, right? Why bother with a mere C-level composer like me?"

Ayaka Kamisato said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, this is my personal request, and it's inconvenient for me to use my family's resources. Also, my friend is facing a difficult situation; she can only sing works by composers who debuted this year. I don't know many composers, and it's even harder to find a composer as excellent as Ms. Quyin. That's why I have this difficult request. Please forgive me."

Bai Qianqu and Bronya exchanged a glance and tentatively asked, "Excuse me, is Ms. Shenli's friend going to participate in the new singer competition?"

Ayaka Kamisato's eyes widened: "Teacher Qu Yin is amazing, she guessed it right away. That's right, my friend is a new singer. She wants to participate in this year's new singer competition, but she has been struggling to find a suitable song. I noticed that she has been very worried lately, so I wanted to help her."

"May I ask what your friend's name is?" A bizarre thought popped into Bai Qianqu's mind.

“Her?” Ayaka Kamisato’s gaze softened. “Her name is Hotaru, and she’s my best friend.”

Bai Qianqu: ""

Goodness, why does this Ayaka Kamisato seem so yuri-esque?

Yingmei has actually gotten together with Shenli.

Bai Qianqu sighed inwardly and said, "Actually, Ying has already contacted me. I have agreed to help her write a song for the new singer competition."

Bai Qianqu's words surprised Shen Li Linghua, but she quickly came to her senses.

"In fact, I made a big blunder and made Teacher Qu Yin laugh at me."

"It's nothing." Bai Qianqu waved her hand. "It's a happy thing to get to know Miss Shenli."

“Me too, it’s nice to meet Ms. Quyin.” Ayaka Kamisato waved, and Rakuko stepped forward with a plate.

Bai Qianqu turned her head and saw a light blue card on the plate with a small turtle printed on it. Well, that was actually a camellia. In Inazuma, camellias are also called "Camellia flowers" and are as famous as cherry blossoms, and are known as "sacred flowers".

This is also the crest of the Kamisato family.

"This is the honorary guest card of the Kamisato family. With this card, you can freely enter and exit all properties under the Kamisato family and enjoy VIP treatment, with a 8% discount on all purchases. In addition, there is an initial capital of five million in the card. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Holy crap, she's a rich woman!
