Honkai Impact 3rd, what should an ordinary player do at the start?

Jiang Cheng pulled the mud-covered Jizo Mitama from the ground, gripped the hilt with four fingers including his thumb, and pointed his remaining index finger towards the sky—

"And now the plane has arrived, and there's a divine artifact that you'll get in the future at World Serpent's place."

"We have a lot of time, but not a little either, so it's best not to waste it."

Are there any weapons that will be useful to me in the future?

Is it also the so-called Key of God?

The girl keenly remembered this detail, and then, along with her outstretched fingertip, her gaze shifted to the blank space in the distance, that is, the far distance.

"Varied……"

"What's the principle?"

Her deep purple pupils clearly reflected the sky, which was originally empty. Suddenly, the white clouds seemed to be reflected in a mirror, appearing out of thin air as a replica materialized. From nothing, an airplane appeared, which was even several times more luxurious than the one she had just personally destroyed.

Following closely behind was the gray snake, which had bowed once more and pointed to the gradually emerging airplane with its opening cabin door as if welcoming a guest.

"This is the quantum technology of the World Serpent. Please take your seats, and I will personally escort you to the Serpent's headquarters."

……

The journey thereafter proceeded without any further mishaps.

You won't suddenly find a Herrscher of the Void to slash the plane.

Despite her seemingly lively personality, Kiana's ability to act after falling into grief is actually somewhat weaker than that of a seemingly gentle young girl.

Only Jiang Cheng and Raiden Mei, embracing each other, and Gray Serpent, who was diligently piloting the plane ahead, shutting down all rear monitoring channels, even partially sealing off his hearing, completely destroying all surveillance equipment and forcibly annihilating it at any cost—all to leave the two of them with the quietest and safest environment.

Raiden Mei believes she hit the jackpot, winning a gamble with zero probability.

I never thought my confession would be successful.

They were all ready to end it.

At the time, I thought that since Jiang Cheng had rejected me, I should just consider it as my own suicide and peacefully experience the end that was meant to come.

Because in reality, even the girl herself had absolutely no confidence that she would be accepted. She only sought death because she was not accepted by Jiang Cheng and felt that living in a world without Jiang Cheng was worse than dying. Knowing that there was nothing in front of her, she still walked forward, but ended up jumping off the cliff and being blown to the other side by a gust of wind.

Clinging tightly to her alabaster skin, the former Thunder Queen, only now displaying her possessiveness, was completely enveloped by her fragrant body, as if she were being swallowed by sweet, soft, snow-white cream. All around her was the smooth, rich softness of velvet and satin. Even the young man, without exception, felt the same way—it was like a dream, and he remained in a daze until now.

It's probably because it's too hot and too sweet.

The girl was clinging to him way too tightly.

Not only did I fall into a paradise made of honey, but I was also hit by soft cakes. Even the sweet and delicious cream felt too heavy, making my chest feel stuffy. Every time I opened my mouth, it was filled with sweetness.

My whole body was forced to feel the smooth touch of delicate skin, and the incredibly soft and bouncy texture, like a soft and warm cream.

This caused his brain, which, despite being mediocre and incompetent with only average intelligence, at least still possessed normal thinking abilities, to feel as if it were about to be suffocated.

—Why did it turn out this way?

Jiang Cheng kept asking himself these questions in a hazy state of mind.

That being said, the answer is obvious.

———That girl who was still rubbing against him.

The girl noticed him as he merely turned his head slightly, glancing up at him out of the corner of his eye. She looked up, revealing her beautiful eyes sparkling beneath her disheveled purple hair.

"Is there a problem?"

She was asking a question.

Ask yourself.

Even so, the arms and waist that were being held did not feel the slightest loosening.

It was clearly soft and supple, yet excessively dense. The slightest twitching or struggling would instantly envelop it like quicksand.

"I just feel like I've forgotten someone."

"Is it really okay for us to leave like this?"

With his brain nearly broken from being cooped up, Jiang Cheng offered an ambiguous question.

"It's fine."

All you'll get in return is that sweet smile.

"Kiana and Bronya can take care of themselves. As newcomers, they won't act like I did, throwing a tantrum the moment they lose you."

The girl's fingertips were held up in front of him, as if she were playing with them. She deliberately closed her right eye, tilted her head, and even stuck out a little bit of her tongue.

All of this, along with the obstructed view, proves that the girl named Raiden Mei is indeed acting cute in this way.

If outsiders were to see the Herrscher of Thunder in this state, it would surely shock everyone.

But that's none of my business.

There is no need to feel ashamed of trying to please Jiang Cheng.

"That's true... Even if you don't trigger the next event, you have at least three years. Kiana and Bronya are both safe and sound, so they shouldn't... need me to take care of them, right?"

As I said those words, a scene inexplicably appeared in my mind—a girl who was being comforted by me but was crying even more sadly.

It was as if she had seen a phantom of the deceased Himeko in Sky City; her clear, azure eyes reflected a moist light.

Jiang Cheng ultimately didn't take the matter seriously.

Look out the window.

Gazing at the approaching night.

Nevertheless, when I see that bright moonlight, I can't help but think of someone similar to her—KIANA.

She should be looking up now.

Looking at this moon.

……

……

……

It was as if the snowfield of years ago had been recreated. The still-naive girl opened her eyes to find that the person she depended on for survival, the only person she remembered, the only person who existed in her heart after she lost her memory, the old man who had engraved his existence in her memories, had disappeared. She could no longer find the small world that she had once known—the wooden house and the surrounding snowfield.

The silver-haired girl trembled.

The usually carefree girl trembled.

It no longer has that vibrant energy it once had.

At least in Bronya's eyes, those eyes, already terrifyingly cold and unlike the snow-covered plains of Siberia, revealed only something truly horrifying...

fear……

Please forgive me for this description being a bit off.

Bronya experienced her lack of vocabulary for the first time.

Looking at those tear-streaked eyes, I really can't find any other word to describe it except "horrible".

Even the bright silver ribbon could not illuminate the listless azure pupils, nor could it find a home for those eyes that seemed like a kite with a broken string.

Stinky Old Man (Six) [0 ...

Ah Cheng...

All……

It disappeared...

……

……

……

People's sorrows are not the same. The boy, who was almost completely ignorant about the word "emotion," simply stepped into the gloomy world of the Snake Headquarters.

The flight was indeed extremely smooth. The only thing worth mentioning was that when we got off the plane, we didn't wait for the cabin door to open. Instead, the cabin door opened directly in the air, and Raiden Mei jumped off with him in her arms. With her extremely strong physical strength, she used her own body to absorb the shock, and her legs landed safely like springs.

Until the moment he landed, Jiang Cheng didn't react at all, and didn't even experience any shaking. Instead, it felt like he had fallen into a trampoline or a world made of cream and cake, sinking even deeper into softness.

"I'm sorry, Mei really wanted to be able to have such close contact with you, Jiang Cheng, like this."

Faced with the girl's spontaneous self-reflection.

Jiang Cheng was also speechless. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated.)

He could only let this girl, whose true nature was that of a thunder queen, but who always acted like a gentle housewife in front of him, do as she pleased.

We can't really punish them, can we?

Even though they said—Mei would definitely accept any punishment if you wanted to.

Led by the gray snake, they finally put the matter aside and entered the base with peace of mind. They walked through a long and gloomy corridor and arrived inside the base.

At the end of a long corridor paved with some unknown metal, under the cold incandescent light, a woman wearing a jackal mask was already waiting.

"It's actually a living Herrscher..."

……

Even though I had already witnessed it in previous videos.

I have directly witnessed the existence of the Herald.

At this moment, the jackal still felt breathless, his heart was pounding, and every part of his body, from his fingertips to his nerves, was trembling violently, all because of the figure in front of him—the Thunder Empress who, though stripped of her god-like armor, still possessed that aloof and superior air that seemed to transcend the world.

"Grey Snake, I can research—"

A crimson longsword was held horizontally before those golden pupils.

In the scholar's vision, besides the crimson that almost occupied half the world, all he could see were the cherry-colored eyes that were staring intently at him.

The coldness is completely incompatible with the color; it would be more suitable to match the vibrancy of green or blue than pink.

The heartbeat became more real.

Breathing was extremely difficult.

It was no longer excitement, but the fear of death.

"me……"

"No more."

"I won't stare at her like that anymore!"

The most decisive action is to raise both hands.

The malicious scientist chose to surrender immediately.

However, at this moment, the jackal clearly saw that the man who had drawn his sword to threaten him did not immediately sheathe it. His eyes merely shifted to the left, fixed on the gray snake standing at the edge, shrouded in darkness, just as its appearance and title suggested.

"Grey Snake!"

"Yes, Lord Jiangcheng."

them……

What are you talking about?

At first, the jackal couldn't understand any of this.

She no longer needs to understand.

Breathing was finally resolved, but when he opened his mouth, what came out was not air, but a mass of crimson liquid—a liquid called blood.

"Crack——!"

The crimson longsword was finally sheathed, but the jackal no longer had a chance to see it. In the instant she coughed up blood, she found that her perspective had been completely reversed. Even though she hadn't looked down, what she saw was changing, and it was no longer something that could be done by looking down—the ground was gradually approaching, as if the floor was rapidly rising.

"pat..."

A dull thud accompanied the fall of a head, which rolled across the floor like a football. The jackal mask covering the face tilted to one side, and the plump, brown-skinned body of the scholar fell to the ground along with it.

Hot blood splattered across the floor, while the golden pupils beneath the jackal mask stood upright like a cat's, the last vestige of which remained one of disbelief.

I can't believe I was killed like this.

I can't believe the gray snake would allow that.
