Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

"But given the corrosive power of the Corrosive Treasure, Chief Administrator, can the Honkai Impact 3rd really withstand it?"

Xia Yuan looked at the chief administrator with some uncertainty.

"Boss, don't worry! I'll take care of Honkai Impact 3rd. Don't underestimate the Chief Administrator's strength."

Xia Yuan sized up the chief administrator.

She seems to be a very gentle and reliable older sister, quite different from Ai-chan who steals electricity all day to get crystals... but there are also some inexplicable similarities.

"Well... I'll leave Honkai Impact 3rd to you, Chief Administrator. I'll log in and sign in after the maintenance is finished. Remember to get 60 crystals as compensation for the maintenance. Cough cough... wait, shouldn't the Chief Administrator compensate all players with ten supply cards for such a serious incident?"

Xia Yuan rubbed his hands together, pleading with the chief administrator for the benefits for all the game players, and said he would treat the ten supply cards as if nothing had happened.

"No problem... Boss, the ten supply cards will be sent to your account via email after maintenance is complete."

Xia Yuan hadn't expected the chief administrator to agree so readily; he should have asked for more crystals.

But then the chief administrator changed her tone.

"But boss... as you can see, due to the severe damage to the bridge, the exit game function is temporarily unavailable."

"Huh... does that mean I'm trapped in the game and can't get out?"

Xia Yuan recalled the fear he felt not long ago when he was dominated by the Corruption Herrscher in the classroom corridor, and he seemed to remember her whispering in his ear.

[My lovely human, once is not enough. I want to transport you to the world of Honkai Impact 3rd and exploit you again and again until your body and soul are completely stained with my colors. Once is not enough, my lovely human, give me your heart~ A body alone is not enough... I want more, more!]

Xia Yuan couldn't help but shiver.

"But it's alright... Ai-chan has the authority to force players to log out. By the way, boss, didn't Ai-chan come back with you?"

Xia Yuan remained silent for a moment, then told the chief administrator about the attack he suffered in the [Data Rift] by the subordinates sent by the Corruption Herrscher.

"It looks broken... A monster with a heart-shaped symbol. Oh no, its data has probably been corrupted. Please wait..."

The chief administrator was typing something rapidly on the virtual screen floating beside her, then rested her chin on her hand, her brows furrowing slightly.

"The situation is not good... According to Ai-chan's coordinates, it seems she has been captured by those monsters."

"They've taken him away?!"

Xia Yuan silently clenched his hands. Ai-chan was captured by the subordinates sent by the Corruption Herrscher in order to save him.

"Could it be that the other party also knows about the three major sections in the core area of ​​the 'Bouncy' game?"

Chief Administrator Ai Hyperion stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Xia Yuan was also deep in thought. Without Ai-chan's help, he could not exit the game. At the same time, this could also be a trap set by Shi Bao. If he went there rashly, he might just walk into the trap.

"I'm sorry... I will fix the game as soon as possible. Please wait patiently on the bridge, boss. It is absolutely safe on the bridge, I can guarantee that."

Xia Yuan leaned against the railing of the bridge, forgetting that it was damaged, and almost fell headfirst off. Fortunately, the chief administrator caught him in time.

"Look... boss, it's very safe here."

"You call this place safe...?"

Xia Yuan looked at the dilapidated bridge around him. He knew he could fall off the bridge if he wasn't careful. But seeing the clear smile on the other person's face, he calmed down. For now, he could only wait and see.

"Okay... that's the only way."

A long-lost silence fell over the damaged bridge, with only the sounds of various interfaces popping up and disappearing echoing in the background.

"that....."

Xia Yuan looked at the female administrator, as if he wanted to say something.

"Please speak, and Aiyi will do its best to meet any of your needs, boss."

Any needs?

Looking at the gentle chief administrator in front of him, Xia Yuan suddenly had a somewhat immature idea and a bold idea, but he quickly dismissed the thought. The most urgent task now was to rescue the short Ai-chan.

"Miss Administrator... is there anything I can do to help?"

The chief administrator was taken aback at first, then leaned closer and grabbed Xia Yuan's arm.

Chapter 293 More Compensation: A Little Bit of Crystal

The chief administrator's sudden behavior caught Xia Yuan off guard, and he could smell a faint cabbage fragrance emanating from her.

"Miss Administrator, wh...what's wrong!?"

Xia Yuan's words revealed a hint of nervousness, but the chief administrator's face showed a smile that hadn't appeared in a long time.

"Boss... are you really willing to help?"

Ai-Ei Hyperion gazed at Xia Yuan with expectant eyes.

The mysterious female lead, A, gazes at you with such tender affection. As the male lead, B, can you really refuse her?

"Ahem... Anyway, I'm stuck here and have nothing else to do. If the game can be fixed sooner, I can quit sooner. But after it's fixed, you'll have to compensate me with a few hundred million crystals."

Xia Yuan held up his index finger to indicate that he wanted this number.

"That's no problem at all. Once the game is fixed, the crystals will be transferred to your account as a reward for helping to fix the game. But I think you must have another reason, right?"

Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Other reasons...?"

"Well... because you, boss, also really like jumping around, right?"

The administrator's eyes sparkled as she stared intently at Xia Yuan.

"Well, it's a long story."

After all, as a cleaner, he spends his days cleaning the bridge and decks, busy from morning till night, and simply doesn't have the energy to build friendships or develop feelings with the Valkyries.

However, as he kept wiping the bridge... his feelings for the Hyperion grew stronger day by day. He preferred the Moon Throne, which could fire energy cannons, to the Valkyries!

"It's okay... I'll just take it as the boss tacitly liking Honkai Impact 3rd~ Cough cough... Sorry, I seem to have been a bit too enthusiastic."

The chief administrator said apologetically.

"By the way, boss, I haven't asked your name yet. It's not really appropriate to keep calling you Ai-chan."

You told the head administrator your name, but you still prefer the title "boss," as it feels more approachable.

"Boss... are you sure you want me to call you that?"

Xia Yuan nodded, half-jokingly.

"Then, I'll have to ask you to help me fix everyone's Honkai Impact 3rd! [I am the chief administrator's...]!"

The chief administrator said the title with some embarrassment.

After a short while...

"Ahem, anyway, thank you for your participation, boss, and for your willingness to assist me in repairing the bouncy vehicle. The situation is urgent, please follow me to the area ahead."

"They said they wanted to help, but what exactly do they want me to do?"

Xia Yuan inquired with the chief administrator, Miss Ai Yi.

"Please rest assured, I have already drafted a specific repair plan and defensive measures to deal with the [Erosion Treasure is coming to erode your heart~], I only need to trouble Mr. Xia Yuan to be my assistant and executor."

Xia Yuan seemed to understand what the chief administrator meant; he just needed to do as she said.

Who wouldn't like a well-behaved, obedient, and sensible assistant?

However, Xia Yuan still intended to confirm with the administrator about the risks involved in carrying out these plans.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Xia Yuan, your body is in a peaceful dormant state in the real world. Moreover, for the safety of players, the feedback index of the equipment has been limited to an extremely low level. As long as you do not take any rash actions, it will not cause any harm to your body or mind."

"That's what the chief administrator assured me."

"A reckless action?"

"Well, for example, encountering a large Honkai Beast without the protection of a Valkyrie, or after you get a weapon, you think you can take on a hundred people and fight the Herrscher face to face."

After a moment of silence, Xia Yuan realized that he would never do something so foolish.

"...I don't think these kinds of actions are included in the administrator's plan, right?"

"Hmm... well..."

The head administrator unexpectedly fell silent.

"Miss Administrator?!"

Xia Yuan's mood grew tense as the administrator remained silent.

"Hmm... there shouldn't be any problems. In short, please relax and just enjoy the game with the same mindset you'd have when you play Honkai Impact 3rd."

"But Miss Administrator, your evasive answer is making me very uneasy!"

Xia Yuan cried out in his heart.

"Ahem... Let's not delay, let's get going!"

A confident young woman lightly swipes her finger across a nearby interface, and a digital portal appears out of thin air. She takes your hand and leads you into the vast, chaotic torrent of data.

"Wait...wait a minute, Miss Administrator, I'm not fully prepared yet! I should at least bring some protective gear—!"

Xia Yuan didn't want to be drained dry by Shi Bao again and again.

[But before the chief administrator led you completely into the shattered torrent of data, she looked at you and smiled slightly.]

[Heading towards one of the three fortresses built by the administrator within the data space – the "MELCHIOR" module]

Looking at the building before him, Xia Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "There are actually places like this inside BengBengBeng?"

“Mr. Xia Yuan, please be careful... Due to the attack of the Herrscher of Corruption, the data flow at the edge of the module is unstable. Please follow me.”

Led by the chief administrator, Xia Yuan followed her to a device decorated with Ai-chan.

"Yes, we're safe here." The chief administrator spread her hands and continued, "Mr. Xia Yuan, welcome to our first base in the data space—the [MELCHIOR] module."

"Of course, if Mr. Xia Yuan finds this name too convoluted, you can simply call it the M module."

"No, Miss Administrator, I'd rather know where this place is."

Xia Yuan looked around, observing the surrounding environment.

"Simply put, in order to systematically manage all of Honkai Impact 3rd's data and ensure the game's smooth operation, I constructed three digital bases for it, and this is one of them."

Xia Yuan fell silent for a moment, then nodded seriously, indicating that he had taken it to heart.

"The three main modules are like the fortresses protecting Honkai Impact 3rd. As long as they are intact, any problems that arise in the game can be fixed. But conversely... if all three main modules malfunction, things will become much more difficult..."

Chapter 294 Kiana Strikes!

"Even this place has been attacked? But it doesn't look like it's been damaged."

Xia Yuan looked around but found no traces or signs of damage caused by the Corrupted Herrscher.

"Ah, Mr. Xia Yuan, you misunderstand. The major blow I mentioned is not about this place itself, but about the fact that the administrator here, Ai-chan, was captured. You met Ai-chan during the data flood earlier, Mr. Xia Yuan."

Xia Yuan nodded; he owed Ai-chan a favor.

There's no time to lose. Even if the little white rabbit accidentally falls into the big bad wolf's mouth, he must rescue Ai-chan from Shi-bao's side, even if it's a trap set by Shi-bao himself...

Just as Xia Yuan was about to take a step, he was stopped by the chief administrator.

“Mr. Xia Yuan, please wait a moment. If we encounter those monsters that attacked you and Ai-chan again, we must be prepared to fight.”

"War...battle?!"

At this moment, Xia Yuan looked at his empty hands and fell into deep thought.

He doesn't have any weapons right now, and he's not like Jie Ge. It's obviously impossible for him to fight those Titan mechs that have been corrupted by the Herrscher of Corruption with his bare hands.

"Normally... I could summon the Valkyries to assist in the battle, but with the data in disarray right now, our combat strength is only—"

As she spoke, the head administrator gestured, pointing to herself with her finger before slowly turning away, her expression conveying a clear message.

"I?!"

Xia Yuan had no idea that the Valkyrie was actually himself.

"Please don't worry, I was just joking with you, boss. I would never let you fight monsters."

The chief administrator had a smile on his face, and his smile was quite handsome.

But then she changed the subject.

"However, regarding the [Erosion Treasure is coming to erode your heart~], her encroachment on the system is still deepening, and I cannot be sure exactly how much authority she has, especially in terms of the authority to call monsters."

The head administrator rested her cheek on the back of her hand and continued, "In this situation, it's safer to find some help."
