As Bai Qing chatted with Xing Qiu, she would occasionally rub her temples, looking much more tormented than the editor from before.

That makes sense, after all.

It's outrageous for Shogunate samurai to use swords to cut down interstellar warships. What's the difference between that and tearing apart a Gundam with bare hands?

Wait a minute...

Samurai, interstellar warships, aliens...

Combining these elements, Fang Qiu couldn't help but picture a middle-aged man with naturally curly silver hair who liked to cheat children out of money and always lost everything gambling, along with a young girl in a cheongsam and a pair of glasses.

It seems like they're using knives to chop down warships, cannons, and cars.

The most powerful weapon inside is a wooden sword bought from TV online; it won't break no matter how you chop it.

It really does match the characteristics Xingqiu just mentioned...

However, she had read Xingqiu's book, and although the setting was outrageous, there was no doubt that Xingqiu was indeed a native of Teyvat.

Moreover, what they just discussed had absolutely nothing to do with Gintama.

However, if his own pseudonym, "Grand Blue," becomes popular in Liyue, he can use that pseudonym to write other works in the future.

For my next project, I might consider writing about Gintama.

After all, Gintama is a work that is funny, exciting, touching, and also heartbreaking, and it is not suitable to release it under her identity.

However, the content is just too long...

Anyway, we'll see.

Dig the pit first, then fill it in later.

Fang Qiu's arrival attracted a lot of attention, and many people greeted him.

Bai Qing and Xing Qiu also noticed Fang Qiu.

"Miss Fang Qiu, it's been a long time."

Xingqiu greeted him.

Good morning, Fang Qiu.

Bai Qing also greeted Fang Qiu.

"Good morning, Teacher Zhenyu and Sister Bai."

Fang Qiu said with a smile.

"Miss Fang Qiu, is that Volume Two of 'Collapse' in your hand?"

Xingqiu asked.

"Ah."

Fang Qiu nodded.

"That's great! After finishing the first volume, I've been eagerly anticipating the next part of the story. I didn't expect to see the second volume so soon."

Xingqiu looked at the original manuscript in Fangqiu's hand with some excitement.

Thank you for your kindness.

Fang Qiu smiled and said, "I also really like 'The Record of Chen Qiu Picking Up the Sword'."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qing, who had picked up her teacup to take a sip, almost choked on her tea.

She gave Fang Qiu a resentful look but didn't say anything.

After chatting for a while, Fang Qiu left the original manuscript and then departed.

Bai Qing and Xing Qiu continued their conversation about the new volume of "Chen Qiu's Sword Collection".

Before leaving, Fang Qiu left several large blocks of ice in the office to cool off.

After leaving Liyue Publishing House, Fang Qiu didn't rush home.

She planned to visit Wanwenjishe and nearby shops to buy some new books and check on the sales of "Honkai Impact".

She bought a bowl of milk tea with ice from a roadside vendor and then walked to nearby shops near Wanwenjishe.

The surrounding shops are still doing brisk business.

Especially in the gacha system, many people are still striving to pull Himeko with the Crimson Armor.

Looking at the booming business of the surrounding shops, Fang Qiu fell into deep thought.

Although the gacha system in Honkai Impact 3rd seems to be booming and enduring, the next volume will feature Bronya's Herrscher form, Kiana's Sky Ranger form, and Theresa's form.

That will be another huge expense.

However, this kind of consumption feels like draining the reader's wallet, like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Fang Qiu had to consider delaying the release of the third or fourth volume of "Collapse" and interspersing it with other non-commercial works as a way to give back to the readers.

The gist is that the hype has gone too far, and readers' wallets need a break.

Moreover, the lead animator, Mr. Abedo, is also extremely busy and needs to take a break.

Of course, she doesn't know much about business operations, so she'll have to consult Ms. Ningguang about this.

Since we're going to see Miss Ningguang anyway, let's talk about it later.

Anyway, for the time being, it's still uncertain what the new book will be about besides "Collapse".

After finishing two books, she needs to take a good rest for a while.

Moreover, Walnut's birthday

It's almost here, and she needs to prepare a birthday present for Hu Tao.

I wonder if I'll be able to meet the legendary Mr. Zhongli at Hu Tao's birthday party.

She had long been curious about what kind of person Mr. Zhongli was.

I've only ever heard of him but never seen him in person.

Even Miss Ningguang knows him.

Fang Qiu walked towards Wanwenji House while thinking about Hu Tao's birthday present.

Business is booming at Wanwenji House.

Aside from discussing the dangers of riding in open-air carriages, where one might be easily shot in the head by a Hilichurl archer suddenly appearing by the roadside, which sparked some wild speculation, the discussion was quite different.

To Fang Qiu's surprise, among the novel enthusiasts sitting at the tea table in front of Wanwenji House, there were actually several girls reading "Chen Qiu Picks Up the Sword".

Of course, that's not the point. After all, "The Legend of the Swordsman" has attracted the attention of many readers in Liyue after Inazuma became a hit.

This is similar to how, after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature in his previous life, many readers bought his books to read.

At that time, she also bought a copy of "Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out" and read it many times. However, she was too young then to understand it at all.

My only feeling after watching it was that those years were incredibly tough.

Therefore, Fang Qiu wasn't surprised that someone was reading "The Record of Shen Qiu Picking Up the Sword." What surprised her was...

Next to "The Record of Picking Up the Sword in Autumn" is a "Honkai Impact" setting book that I won by drawing cards. It contains some settings and character backgrounds for "Honkai Impact".

They were looking at the obscure vocabulary in "The Record of Shen Qiu Picking Up the Sword" while searching for explanations in the setting book, trying to understand Xing Qiu's "The Record of Shen Qiu Picking Up the Sword".

Most importantly, after reading the explanation, the girls all had expressions that said, "Great, I understand everything now."

Fang Qiu smiled helplessly.

After all, there are some things that actually match up in the settings.

After watching for a while, Fang Qiu greeted the proprietress, Ji Fang.

After complaining to her about the low probability of drawing cards, Ji Fang stopped bothering her when choosing books.

Fang Qiu looked around and finally chose a few books that interested her before heading home.

Chapter 507 Angel Reconstruction (includes original text, can be skipped)

After seeing Xingqiu off, several female editors gathered around and squeezed together.

"Aqing, no need for further words, just bring out Fang Qiu's original manuscript."

Bai Qing glanced helplessly at the group of female editors huddled around her, feeling both amused and exasperated.

These people just looked so dejected.

After being cooled down by the ice blocks made by Fang Qiu, he immediately felt refreshed.

Bai Qing took out the second volume of "Collapse" from the paper bag.

The story continues from the previous volume, which is titled "The Hunter of the Sky".

Rita Losweather, an S-rank Valkyrie from Destiny, along with Tesla and Einstein from St. Freya Academy and Anti-Entropy, enter Shenzhou Sky City to search for the missing Kiana.

Their clue lies in a mysterious ancient organization, members of the World Serpent.

Gray snake.

However, due to Rita's obstruction, Theresa and the others returned empty-handed, only managing to rescue a child connected to the gray snake.

After their fruitless mission, Theresa and the others received a message from Anti-Entropy Cocolia.

Although Cocolia was their enemy before, they are now on the same side.

Furthermore, she told Theresa and the others that she had a way to get Alto to follow her lead.

Therefore, for Kiana's sake and for the sake of the greater good, they need to go to Sea Abyss City for rescue.

However, at this moment, the gray snake, which had already died at Rita's hands, reappeared on the screen.

Bronya and Einstein began working to regain control of the Hyperion.

During this time, Grey Serpent tries to recruit Bronya into the World Serpent, which also reveals Bronya's background.

Bronya rejected him.

In the moment of crisis, the feather that Fu Hua left beside Bronya transformed into the crimson Fu Hua and appeared, stopping the Grey Serpent.

But at the same time, Bronya also saw a memory of a conversation between Dr. Einstein and a stranger.

They also learned of the existence of the Quantum Sea and the Eye of the Abyss.
