Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

Volume 1: Have we really defeated the collapse? Chapter 4: Game pricing, please witness it

The next morning, Gao Su came to miHoYo with the feedback from Mei and Kiana, and took the elevator directly to the floor where Bronya was.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Bronya with dark circles under her eyes, holding the handle with a look of despair:

"You've been playing all night!?"

"Oh, fortunately, I can handle it."

Bronya took the breakfast Gao Su brought her, opened it and took two bites, then looked at the captain in front of her:

"Did you suddenly update something last night? I finally defeated Wendy, but your action rewound my whole save. And then, after leaving the Study Cave, there was a Thousand Herrscher taunting me."

Gao Su inserted the straw for her to drink soy milk and handed it to her:

"It was the addition of the Thousand Herrscher that caused this. It's okay now. How's it going? Is Wendy easy to beat?"

Bronya took a sip of soy milk. Hmm, it was freshly brewed by Mei, not something the captain bought from a street stall.

"After defeating Wendy, I felt a kind of beauty that made my head hurt."

"I'm sorry for reminding you of some bad things."

Gao Su held her hand. After all, after defeating Wendy, Bronya was forced by Cocolia to activate the chip in her head that was used to control her.

In order not to threaten Mei and Kiana, Bronya chose to self-destruct the chip.

Although no serious consequences were caused, there were some psychological traumas. After Bronya defeated Wendy last night, she chose to sit by the campfire.

What I'm afraid of is that a Cocolia will appear in the game and repeat what she went through back then:

"Don't worry, nothing like this will happen. Cocolia is not qualified to be exposed to such a situation."

After receiving the captain's affirmative answer, Bronya nodded:

"However, your game is indeed good. When will you arrange a promotional PV? It can be used as a pre-launch promotion."

"This isn't a pay-to-win card game. We can just sell it directly. We've already done some defenses, and no one will get their hands on the source code."

Gao Su nodded, and then set the price:

"As for the price, the standard edition is 298 yuan, the deluxe edition is 398 yuan, and the Shadow of the Imaginary Tree DLC is priced at 198 yuan for the standard edition and 298 yuan for the deluxe edition."

"The deluxe edition includes a design collection, a digital art book, a digital soundtrack, and a figurine of the Thousand Herrscher."

After listening to the price reported by the captain, Bronya felt that there was no problem, and then sent out the pricing suggestion and asked the employees below to implement it.

While she was discussing these matters with the captain, Xier was taking Susanna to investigate in Changkong City.

"Sister Xier, and Sister Susanna, hello."

Xier and Susanna stood in front of a house with a slightly steampunk feel, looking at the pink-haired child who greeted them with astonishment:

"Xiaokong? Why are you here?"

Xier obviously knew this child, but Susanna was a little confused as to how this child knew her name. She glanced at Xier:

"How does this kid know my name?"

"It's possible that Xiaokong is the guide who leads us on our tour of Changkong City."

Xier reacted and remembered the guide Gao Su had told her about when she left Tianming. Xiaokong nodded:

"Well, that's it. We haven't seen each other for almost half a year, right? This time it's my turn to help Sister Xier."

Susanna was full of curiosity. She looked at Xier with a thirst for knowledge, eager to get her answer:

"Um, who exactly is this lady..."

Xier briefly recounted to Susanna the story of how she met Xiaokong. After hearing what Xier said, Susanna covered her mouth in shock.

"A mistake? In other words... you met on the moon when the Stigmata Project was launched? Your first encounter was outside of Earth!? Oh my god, this is too dreamy!"

"However, Xiaokong, since you are our guide, does that mean you have any special experiences here?"

When Xiaokong heard this, he smiled slightly, thinking of Teacher Raven who treated them as his own children, the amiable sister Mei, and the caring brother Gaosu.

These are the unbreakable bonds that these children from the orphanage have forged with the heroes in Changkong City:

"Yes. In the past, I and other children taken in by teachers all lived in this Changkong City."

"More specifically, it was living in this shanty town. The teacher called it 'the nest,' and we were the children of the nest."

Xier had also heard Gao Su tell them about the story that happened in Changkong City, so she added on behalf of Xiaokong and Susanna:

"Xiaokong and the others used to work as scavengers in the area to supplement their family income. She knows all the streets and alleys here, including all the hidden passages."

"Sister Xier, I'm not that powerful... You shouldn't trust Lyle too much. However, we are very familiar with this place. After all, it's our hometown."

Hearing Xier praising herself like this, Xiaokong waved his hands hurriedly. Susanna breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest:

"That's great! This city is so deserted, and it's hard to even find someone to ask for directions. When I first got here, I couldn't get anywhere without using a navigation system."

Listening to Susanna's words, Xier remembered the mechas that attacked her on the way here. Susanna noticed something was wrong with her:

"What's wrong? Xi'er?"

"I was just wondering... the report said that the Faceless Ones organized many attacks in Changkong City, right?"

"When I first arrived here, I did encounter a blockade made of mechas at the edge of the city."

"Thinking about it this way, the Faceless Ones appear to be a violent group with a rather flamboyant style of conduct."

"But why are the streets so deserted? While there aren't many citizens here, we haven't found any signs of activity suspected to be from members of the Faceless."

Susanna felt that Xier's words made sense, and Tianming also felt troubled by this sudden organization called the Faceless.

Susanna felt that something was amiss with the Faceless Organization. They had been in Changkong City for so long and hadn't seen anything.

"That's a bit strange, considering the Faceless are said to have hundreds of members, more than the population of an entire village."

However, Xiaokong knew something:

"Although the Faceless Ones claim to be powerful, they don't usually flaunt their power in public."

"It is said that they only show up when it is time to attack, and they do it as quickly as possible."

"Then they walked away. Until now, no one has ever really seen what they look like."

"Their style of operation is somewhat similar to the organization called World Serpents that the teacher once worked for, but there are some differences."

Xier suddenly thought of something and contacted Gao Su and others in Tianming:

"What's wrong, Xi'er?"

"I'd like to ask Mei and Kiana to help scan Changkong City and investigate where the Faceless Organization is."

Xier made her request. Meiyi pondered for a moment and told Xier the situation:

"Xi'er, we have limited Honkai energy right now, so the scan might be a bit slow."

"But isn't Brother Su here?"

Xier was puzzled. Isn't Gao Su on Earth? It shouldn't be a problem to use the Herrscher ability to find him. Mei turned the video call to Gao Su:

"I need to ask Him about this. Xier requested that we use Herrscher authority to scan the Faceless Organization."

"allow."

Gao Su nodded. He would not hesitate to help the Quantum Sea. With the permission of the Imaginary Number Tree, Meiyi's Herrscher's armor emerged.

"I'll go wake up Kiana."

Gao Su watched Mei walk out and said to Xier:

"Go ahead, Xier, wait a moment."

"it is good"

After hanging up the call, Seele breathed a sigh of relief. With Mei and Kiana helping out, things would be much easier. Sora added at the right moment:

"However, the reconstruction of Changkong City is progressing very slowly. There are only a few permanent residents here to begin with."

"Right after the Great Collapse, many people flocked here from far and wide. Some were former residents hoping to rebuild their homes, some were businessmen who saw an opportunity, and some simply came to try their luck."

"But as time goes by, the number of people who can stick around is getting smaller and smaller."

Hearing this, Susanna was a little confused:

"why is that?"

Hill explained:

"Even Meiyi is planning to rebuild Changkong City now. She was the eldest daughter of the Raiden Club in Changkong City back then."

"After all, Changkong City has been abandoned for too long. Everything needs to be rebuilt from scratch, which requires a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources."

Sora took over the conversation and added:

"Also, perhaps because Changkong City's collapse occurred earlier, everyone was used to its dilapidated appearance, so after the Great Collapse, they didn't pay enough attention to this place."

"However, on the bright side, Honkai will no longer threaten this place. Although the current Mandate of Heaven is also overwhelmed, as long as we are aware of the problem, we will definitely work hard to come up with a solution."

Hearing this, Susanna patted her chest and said confidently:

"I'll do my part too! Xi'er, as a member of the destiny!"

Volume 1: Did we really defeat Honkai? Chapter 5: I work overtime every day because of you

"Hey, Sister Bronya, am I disturbing you?"

After exchanging pleasantries with Rosaria and Lilia, Seele sat on the sofa and began to report the mission status to Bronya:

"Oh~ Xier... Uh~oh~?! Hah~ oh~ huh~ I'm a little busy here... eh~..."

She seemed to be doing intense exercise on the other end of the phone, pausing several times to breathe while saying a word. Xier couldn't help but hold her forehead:

"Sister Bronya, please ask Brother Gao Su to stop for a moment. I need to conduct a mission report."

"Okay, Xier, I understand. Ha, uh-oh~... huh~... I'm a little busy here. Wu Yinqi's father is busy with the six arts. Okay, I asked Gao Su to stop."

When Bronya said Seele's name, her tone suddenly turned cold, but the next second it became warm and flattering:

"Wait a minute, Xier wants to report on her work!"

Besides the mouth-drying gasps, if you listen carefully you can also hear the friction sounds of "puff" and "gulp", as well as the sound of the handle falling to the floor:

"Go ahead, Xi'er. Uh-huh-huh! - Scar Thirteen Lin⒐ Ling's Wife&^Jiu⑸Shrimpm〗〆? Sorry, after all, "Alahato" is one of the most famous works under Nidi Entertainment."

"If its derivative games aren't as good as the original, it will definitely disappoint many fans, so I asked Gao Su to work overtime with me overnight."

Bronya turned around and glared at Gao Su, who was making trouble, and signaled him to be quiet. Seele frowned:

"I always feel like Bronya-sister is pushing herself too hard. 'Because I like you, I care about what others think, and I don't want to let down my former self.'"

"There's nothing wrong with Sister Bronya's idea. But sometimes, if we focus too much on something, it can make us forget our original intention and even become a curse that hinders our progress."

"Just like in the past, a week before the orphanage performance, I kept telling myself, 'Xi'er, you can't be nervous', but the result was..."

"As a result, Xier fell before she even got on stage, and the two cardboard swords in her hands happened to get stuck in my hair."

Bronya slowly sat down and finished what Seele hadn't finished saying. Seele was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly:

"Sister Bronya, there are some things that you don't need to remember so clearly."

"Okay, enough talking. Let's talk about your mission. Has everything been going smoothly in Changkong City all day?"

Bronya used her eyes to signal Gao Su not to move, and Seele sorted out the progress of today's mission:

"With Susanna and Xiaokong here, progress is faster than I expected. By the time the mission is over, I'll be able to transform from a 'temporary combatant' into a true Valkyrie."

Hearing Seele's words, Bronya chuckled. It seemed that the New Destiny was going to expand:

"It seems Seele is planning to have Susanna join the 'Anti-Honkai Team'? Ah—or does Yulandel want to recruit her directly into the 'Immortal Blade'?"

"Seele is now able to stand on her own, which makes me very happy. When Kiana and Yulandel formed the new Undying Blade team, they also included you in the list."

"That's because, Xi'er, you've already done a lot of remarkable things in New Atla. Everyone has seen your growth."

Facing Bronya's praise, Seele felt a little embarrassed:

"But I'm obviously not as mature as you, Sister Bronya. And I'm only familiar with combat, so I can't become a qualified Valkyrie."

"Controlling details, planning strategies... these are what I need to learn, and they are also the aspects I hope to perform well in this mission."

Gao Su took the communication from Bronya and continued the work he and Bronya had not completed:
