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

"Well....."

A sobbing sound came from the head administrator's lips; she seemed somewhat powerless in the face of Benares's breath attack.

"Miss Administrator!"

Xia Yuan shouted and tried to run towards the location of the chief administrator, but the next sentence she said stopped him.

“Mr. Xia Yuan... please step back. If you are hit by this beam of light, you will be unable to maintain your form in the data space, and your consciousness in reality will likely suffer unprecedented damage.”

"But....."

Xia Yuan wanted to say something more, but the chief administrator interrupted him with unprecedented decisiveness and turned around.

Beside the chief administrator's face...

Like grains of sand scattered in the wind, they are constantly falling into binary data of 0s and 1s.

"Please find a way to reach the last module with Ai-chan and the others, Mr. Xia Yuan... The future of this game world is in your hands."

"Yeah, right! This game world and these adorable humans are all mine now. Goodbye, you pesky cabbage lady~"

The faint, gleeful laughter of the Corruptor could be heard from above the main hall of the base.

"Miss Administrator, love...!"

Xia Yuan was unable to utter that name before he felt the light engulf everything in front of him.

Before his consciousness faded into darkness, Xia Yuan clearly witnessed the Chief Administrator, Ai Hyperion, vanish as strings of 0s and 1s...

While you were unconscious, you vaguely heard two slightly anxious voices.

"You idiot subordinate, wake up..."

"Boss, please wake up soon! If you can wake up, Ai-chan swears she'll never steal electricity again!"

Bronya and Ai-chan noticed that Xia Yuan showed no signs of waking up. They had just barely escaped the pursuit of the Herrscher of Corruption, and the danger wasn't over yet. If they let their foolish subordinate continue sleeping like this...

"Ahem... Sister Xia Yuan's boss, we have a solution, but could you please turn around? It's a bit embarrassing to be watched by so many people."

Padofelis held up the canned food and raised her right hand, indicating that she had a way to wake Xia Yuan from his slumber.

"Turn around? Tell me your plan first."

Bronya looked at the brown-haired girl holding the kitten with some suspicion and asked her about her method.

"Ahem... Well, of course, it's to give Brother Xia Yuan CPR."

"veto!"

Without a second thought, Bronya rejected Padofelis's plan outright. Even if it were to give her stupid subordinate CPR, it should be done by her, as the boss.

Just as Bronya was wondering how to wake her idiot subordinate from his slumber, was she really going to give him CPR in front of everyone?

With this thought in mind, Bronya's breathing became increasingly rapid.

Just then, Aunt Mei, who was standing to the side, came up to Xia Yuan and Bronya.

"Bronya, let me try."

"Ahem... Even if it's you, Mei, you can't make a move on my stupid subordinate."

Bronya shielded Xia Yuan, who was lying unconscious on the ground, behind her, determined not to let Aunt Mei pass.

"Bronya, is there any easier way to wake up your stupid subordinate than with an electric shock?"

"Electric shock?! Cough cough... Mei, you continue."

Seemingly misunderstanding the other's thoughts, Bronya quietly moved aside, making way for Raiden Mei to reach her foolish subordinate.

Aunt Mei put her badly worn katana back into its sheath at her waist, which showed that the battle between her and the Herrscher of Corruption was extremely intense. She squatted down and placed her hand on Xia Yuan's face, and waves of electricity surged into her palm.

Gradually, Xia Yuan began to regain consciousness, and felt a faint tingling sensation on his face.

The tingling sensation on his face turned into an even stronger stimulation, and Xia Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Aunt Mei, who had withdrawn her hand as if nothing had happened, and his boss Bronya's face.

"Wow... Sister Mei, your method is really effective! Brother Xia Yuan has really woken up!"

Hearing Padofelis's words beside her, Aunt Mei felt a slight softening in her heart.

"Pado... what did you just call me?"

A hint of nostalgia appeared in Mei's eyes.

"Uh... of course it's Sister Mei. Did I address her wrong? Or should I just call her Aunt Mei like Brother Xia Yuan does?"

"No... Mei-nee is fine."

Padofelis shook her little head, sizing up Mei's figure and height. Then, she saw Aunt Mei give Xia Yuan a cold and indifferent glance.

Xia Yuan had a feeling that he was being watched again. Should he lie down again now?

"Just call me Mei-nee, but Mr. Xia Yuan still seems a bit confused. It would be better to give him a good shock."

Seeing that Aunt Mei was reaching out her hand as if she wanted to get closer, Xia Yuan quickly waved his hand to stop her.

"Mei, spare her life! I'm awake...!!!"

Hearing Xia Yuan's desperate shouts, Aunt Mei stopped what she was doing and looked him over, saying, "Hmm... the electric shock really worked. You look much more energetic than before, which means Mr. Xia Yuan, you've fully woken up."

"You idiot subordinate, do you remember who you are and what happened not long ago? This question seems a bit difficult. How about this... you idiot subordinate, how much is this?"

Chapter 327 Stupid subordinate, don't even think about doing anything bad!

After a moment of silence, Bronya held up two fingers, indicating that Xia Yuan should answer her question.

"Duck... I just fainted, I haven't completely turned into an idiot!"

Xia Yuan explained the facts to his superior, and perhaps because his body had become accustomed to unconsciousness, he had become increasingly adept at adapting to unconsciousness and electric shocks.

Just then...

Xia Yuan noticed a white, short, and small figure beside him. Upon closer inspection, wasn't this the last Ai-chan that the Chief Administrator wanted her to find?

"How are you feeling now? Do you remember what happened?"

She moved her small feet and slowly came to Xia Yuan's side.

Xia Yuan rubbed his still slightly numb face, recalling the journey he had recently embarked on with the Chief Administrator.

But the administrator vanished completely before his eyes in that beam of light. Xia Yuan fully remembered what had happened before: the Eclipse had attacked his group, and the administrator had only disappeared because she was protecting him...

Xia Yuan took a deep breath and stood up with a heavy heart. But this was a world made of data, and there must be a way to bring Chief Administrator Ai back.

Looking around, Xia Yuan observed the crowd gathered around him and the surrounding environment. At the last moment, and thanks to the combined efforts of Bronya and Mei... he must have arrived here through a portal.

"Boss, the firewall here is still functioning normally. Even the Herrscher of Corruption wouldn't be able to breach this place in a short time... I guess."

Having experienced the Herrscher of Corruption's attack on the base's lobby, Ai-chan's words seemed to lack confidence.

"If only the caretaker were still here..."

Upon hearing Xia Yuan's words, the expressions of the three little Ai-chans simultaneously dimmed.

At that time, the Herrscher of Corruption launched an attack using Benares stained with color. To protect everyone, the Chief Administrator suffered severe data corruption. Despite these serious injuries, she...

Ai-chan looked sad.

Just as Xia Yuan was about to comfort Ai-chan, a phantom blue figure appeared before everyone, accompanied by a very familiar voice.

“Mr. Xia Yuan... It seems that I can only appear in this form. Fortunately, Mr. Xia Yuan, you and everyone else are safe and sound, and you have successfully reached the final module area.”

Seeing the administrator lady suddenly appear beside him like a virtual projection, Xia Yuan was speechless for a moment. He was even prepared to make Shi Bao pay a heavy price.

The administrator, who appeared as a virtual projection, said:

"Hmm? What's wrong, Mr. Xia Yuan... You look so incredulous? Are you perhaps saddened by my 'sacrifice'?"

"No... Miss Administrator, you're perfectly fine! Give me back my sadness!!!"

The roles seemed to have reversed at this moment. The administrator, who should have disappeared, suddenly appeared in front of everyone in a different way. With her comforting words and explanations, Xia Yuan finally sorted out his thoughts.

"So, Miss Ai, as the chief administrator, the real core program isn't in this data space, but is stored somewhere else, right?"

“That’s right, so Mr. Xia Yuan, please don’t worry about my safety. I haven’t really disappeared… It’s just that because the data was corrupted, I’m now just an image and can’t use my previous permissions.”

Suddenly, Ai-chan, who was originally holding onto the hem of his pants, climbed up the edge of Xia Yuan's clothes and onto the top of his head.

“But boss, Ms. Administrator, a new problem has arisen before us. Our Ai-chan trio has finally come together, but without your authority, Ms. Chief Administrator, we cannot unleash the power to expel the Herrscher of Corruption.”

"Ai-chan, is there any way to restore the administrator's privileges?"

Xia Yuan hugged Ai-chan, who was perched on his head, and asked her.

"Hmm... well..."

The female administrator hesitated, her expression turning troubled as the virtual projection displayed her intentions.

"Boss, this won't work. The chief administrator's data is very special; we don't have the authority to modify or repair it. The only person who can change the administrator's data is herself..."

Just as Ai-chan said, the administrator was no longer able to fix the data on her own at this point.

"Is this what they mean by 'a doctor cannot save himself'?"

Just as Xia Yuan was thinking about how to restore the data of the chief administrator, Bronya, who had been deep in thought for a long time, walked over. Judging from her expression, she seemed to have something to say to Xia Yuan and the administrator.

“Foolish subordinate, I have a suggestion.”

A voice interrupted from the side. Xia Yuan turned his head and saw Bronya walking up to him with her arms crossed.

"Duck, do you have any good ideas?"

"Foolish subordinate, let's try a different approach. Since we can't fix Miss Ai as the [Chief Administrator], why don't we try fixing her as a [Character]?"

"Duck, do you mean you want the administrator to become a Valkyrie, someone that players can control?"

Xia Yuan's eyes lit up, but he was immediately met with Bronya's merciless chop.

"It hurts so much..."

"Cough cough, you stupid subordinate, don't even think about doing anything bad, or I'll have Mei give you a few more electroshock treatments."

Bronya gestured to Aunt Mei with her eyes, and Aunt Mei instinctively opened her hand, with lightning surging in her palm.

"Duck, I absolutely didn't have any bad intentions! I would never have any improper thoughts about anyone else!"

Looking at the completely different Xia Yuan, the female administrator on one side covered her mouth with her sleeve and chuckled.

"It seems Mr. Xia Yuan and his boss have a really good relationship..."

Ai-chan's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing Bronya's proposal. She thought Bronya's plan had a certain possibility and kept typing code into the terminal.

"Boss, I'm now trying to import the administrator's remaining data into the [Supply System] so that the game can successfully recognize her as a character within the supply pool. If that happens..."

Upon hearing that the chief administrator could be saved, Xia Yuan pressed for an answer:

"Ai-chan... what will happen to the administrator in the future?"

Chapter 328 Be careful on your journey, you idiot subordinate

"Hehe, this way, boss, we can use the supply system to pull out the Chief Administrator!"

"Alright~ I'm best at gacha pulls, let's pull the Chief Administrator from the supply pool!"

Xia Yuan clenched his hands, his expression revealing anticipation and a hint of excitement as he looked at Ai-chan.

"Ahem... Boss, if we want to try Ms. Bronya's method, we may need to face a very real problem."

"Ai-chan, do you mean we need crystals right now?"

Xia Yuan remained silent for a moment, and a bright blue image gradually appeared in his mind.

"As expected of the boss, once the chief administrator's data is entered into the supply system, the probability of being selected will be the same as the normal supply pool..."

It's not hard to deduce from Ai-chan's words that she needs at least enough crystals to draw one character. However, the armor that the administrator has in the supply pool is only an A-rank Valkyrie, so the amount of crystals required shouldn't be too much, right?

"Well, boss, hehe... could you please treat me to something?"

Ai-chan rubbed her little hands together, a mischievous smile seemingly playing on her lips.

"Ahem... Well, I've already used up all my crystals, but I'm sure you have some hidden away, Ai-chan. Let's use your secret crystals to draw out the administrator!"

Just then, the chief administrator in the virtual projection next to her explained:

“Mr. Xia Yuan, whether you and Ai-chan have crystals now or not, they will be unavailable after the server shuts down. We must find a way to temporarily mine some crystals in the game.”

"If that's the case, I do have a solution. I usually keep some spare crystals on hand for testing purposes."

Ai-chan [p], the administrator of the last module area, addressed the crowd.
