Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

For Fu Hua, the only thing that brings her joy without creating much contact is games.

Therefore, this scene, which should have amused those who knew the girl's true identity, was a great tragedy in Su Qing'an's eyes.

The girl is someone forgotten by the world.

What about him? After being corrupted and killed by the artificial holy mark, will he be resurrected, restart the timeline of the world, and then be forgotten by everything?

Su Qing'an couldn't accept such a future just by imagining it.

Death is simple; it is merely eternal tranquility after annihilation.

But to keep living, to keep going alone with wounds all over one's body, is a difficult thing.

Because she is alive, she can feel pain; because she is alive, she has emotions; therefore, she understands loneliness, feels sadness, and feels lost. Fu Hua, however, possesses the ability to embrace all of these emotions with unwavering willpower.

Fu Hua was not overwhelmed by the endless despair that had accumulated into an abyss.

What is it that has sustained her all this time?

Ten minutes later, the game character killed the level boss with almost full health.

Su Qing'an, however, was looking at the girl's profile when she vaguely recalled the scene from that day.

The girl was curled up in a corner with her back against the wall. Her eyes evoked the imagery of boundless blue water, but their pure color was shrouded in a gray mist, making them dull and lifeless.

Looking at the patches of light cast on the ground, she said, "In a world like this, death is the only escape."

in case.

Su Qing'an meant "if".

For Fu Hua, who was already so broken and devastated, death, which she spoke of that day, was the only way out.

Doesn't that make it more convincing?

Is death in a flower the best destination?

Rather than dragging along a tattered shell and fragmented memories, driven by a promise and an obsession, they silently advance towards an unknown end, burning with the remaining embers.

Wouldn't it be easier to die sooner?

Su Qing'an's words were understandable.

Fu Hua's power is constantly fading away, becoming weaker than she was before, just like an ocean that is constantly evaporating its water and will never flow back.

The martial arts practiced by the girl every day is meaningless. She will not become stronger. It is like a piece of porcelain with cracks that gradually spread and will eventually break. How can you add anything extra to it?

That will only cause it to break down prematurely.

Fu Hua understood her body better than anyone else, and then she said to Su Qing'an, "The path of martial arts is endless."

Yes, the path of martial arts is endless.

But humans have limits. Whether it's Su Qing'an or Fu Hua, the only difference lies in the level of their limits.

Just as martial arts couldn't help Su Qing'an defeat Ganesha, martial arts couldn't save Fu Hua's broken body.

But at this moment, Fu Hua, who could understand every second that her power was slipping away, and Su Qing'an, whose life was being slowly eroded by the Holy Mark, started the next game.

Who cares about that kind of thing? Thinking too much about it is pointless except for making things difficult for yourself.

Making the most of the present and enjoying the everyday is the right thing to do.

But if you must express your opinion...

If we disregard Fu Hua's own will and feelings, and only consider Su Qing'an's personal perspective...

He was happy to see her again.

It's like drawing the best fortune slip when you visit a shrine.

8. Lord Otto's Secret Garden

Unlike action-story games like Kallen Fantasy.

At this time, Fu Hua was playing a simple romance visual novel. Since it was a game from the same company as Kallen Fantasy, the name was the same as Kallen Story.

However, in contrast, Kallen is still a main character in this game called Kallen's Tale.

As a visual novel, Kallen is an unromanceable character, making the game company that made this decision quite unique in the industry.

She's the ultimate Karen fan.

However, according to rumors in the gaming world, if you complete the ninety-ninth playthrough repeatedly and simultaneously unlock all the heroines, all side quests, all other endings, hidden dialogues, hidden items, and clues, the curse that Kallen cannot be romanced will be broken.

On the 100th playthrough after all conditions have been met, Kallen's ending will be unlocked.

Playing this game a hundred times is practically impossible because it lacks a convenient save/load mechanism; you can only save after completing a playthrough.

In the next playthrough, if you make even one wrong choice in the main storyline, there's an 80% chance your character will be killed by a hatchet, and your previous save file will be automatically deleted.

There are tens of thousands of different options, and the correct answer for each option is hidden within millions of words of text. What's most disgusting is that you only have ten seconds to choose, which almost eliminates the possibility of cheating.

It's a hellish difficulty level that's clearly not designed for a perfect playthrough.

As expected of Lord Otto.

Karen's ending route was actually designed entirely for himself.

After Su Qing'an was hacked to death with a machete for the eighth time in just twenty minutes, he glanced at the blood-red death text on the screen.

After thinking for a second, Su Qing'an silently handed the controller to Fu Hua.

Then came the fantastical scene of the immortal master smoothly and flawlessly completing the first playthrough.

"Judging from the games they've made before, the developer of this game is definitely an unscrupulous, selfish, and unreasonable Kallen fan. Their room is probably filled with Kallen figurines. If it's this company, it's not surprising that they made the levels about conquering Kallen so strangely difficult."

After successfully answering the questions about the characteristics and size of the noble badges in the eight games, Fu Hua adjusted the red-framed glasses on her nose and seriously uttered a statement full of flaws.

"But it's impossible for me to admit defeat so easily."

There is no game that cannot be completed. This is a lesson that the girl has learned in her long gaming career. Fu Hua, whose competitive spirit has been ignited by the game's difficulty, is determined to reach the true ending and enjoy the secret garden that Lord Otto has created for her.

Su Qing'an, who knew that Otto was the mastermind behind the game, wanted to laugh. If she hadn't known in advance who Fu Hua was talking about, she probably would have thought that the girl was just a Kallen-obsessed otaku.

What are Anna Schariac's favorite and least favorite zodiac signs?

The latest game options are exceptionally difficult, seemingly because Fu Hua's accuracy in answering questions is 100%, including main quests, side quests, and hidden missions, thus triggering a special mechanism.

The source of this problem is a hidden storyline that can only be triggered in the 98th playthrough. You must reach the 98th playthrough and then select the wrong option in this hidden storyline to find out the relevant information.

However, the price was the deletion of the save file, and victory was just one step away, but they could only fall helplessly.

Otto Apocalypse's perverse sense of humor is quite evident.

However, this method can only damage the wisdom and willpower of mortals, but the immortal master had already begun looking for a way to beat the game after its release.

Her gaming time has reached an unprecedented 1,800 hours, a terrifying amount that would take two and a half months to achieve even if she played continuously for a full day without eating or drinking.

Fu Hua's willpower and patience are unparalleled. This game was released in the summer of 2012, and the immortal master who has been playing it to this day has become so accustomed to and disdainful of Otto Apocalypse's petty tricks.

"Anna Schariac likes Aquarius, but dislikes all other zodiac signs except Aquarius, because she is an extremely narcissistic person, and her zodiac sign is Aquarius."

The girl remained calm and composed; this was a question that had caused her to fail several times, forcing her to save her game and start over.

But Otto, witness the players' unwavering dedication.

The immortal declaring that he would not admit defeat.

What is Bianca Kaslana's favorite food?

"Char siu rice".

How many stained glass windows in the church that Karen frequented featured her image?

"Nine pieces." It was such a bizarre Easter egg that even Fu Hua's sharp eyes would have missed on the first try, but after traversing countless archived corpses, this question was nothing more than a fleeting cloud to the girl, easily dissipated with a flick of her finger.

Please point out Karen's weaknesses.

"Karen's flaw is that she has no flaws."

Fu Hua once honestly expressed her opinion but was brutally defeated by reality. Now, she has grasped the psychological activities of Kallen's fantasies.

Karen has flaws? Absolutely not.

Even if you do have something to say, it's still your fault if you do.

As a player, one must abide by the game rules, so even with the girl's somewhat rigid personality, she still chose the correct answer in the game.

Which of the following characters do you think is the most suitable to be Kallen Kaslana's lover?

[A. The head of the Apocalypse family, who appears as a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes]

[B. A strange witch with ears that look like donkey ears but are actually fox ears on her head]

C. An ordinary passerby

At first, Fu Hua chose option B based on her keen intuition. There were quite a few yuri couples at St. Freya Academy, and with her intuition, Fu Hua confidently chose option B, which led to her death.

Fu Hua chose C the second time. For various reasons, she didn't want to choose A, but the answer still mercilessly showed that the answer was wrong.

This time, Fu Hua successfully eliminated all the wrong options. She expressionlessly chose option A, then indifferently skipped the CG and dialogue to move on to the next option.

"Hahaha, my old friend, do you also think that Karen and I are a good match? As expected of my friend, your taste is so excellent and discerning."

For some reason, the image of a blond, blue-eyed man saying such things with amusement was deeply etched into the girl's mind.

Ah, that's so vivid. Go to hell.

Under Su Qing'an's strange gaze, Fu Hua answered the last question single-mindedly within two hours.

Although he knew Hua loved playing games, this was just too skillful.

Did you memorize millions of words of text, along with all the animations and illustrations?

Fu Hua finally succeeded in completing the special mechanism. She answered all the questions perfectly and jumped directly to the 100th playthrough where she could achieve the Kallen ending.

The immortal has successfully entered Lord Otto's secret garden.

This is undoubtedly a victory for the players.

What they saw was not a normal walkthrough or strategy.

Instead, it's a fixed cutscene; this is the true ending obtained after exhausting all possible solutions.

Otto Apocalypse and Karen Kaslana chose to resign from their positions, married in a rural village, and lived a quiet life.
