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

"Hmm? The code is running perfectly?"

You call this normal game operation? What a crappy game! Who's the producer? Oh... it's yourself, never mind then.

After checking each case one by one, Bronya fell into a long-lost silence.

The code wasn't missing at all; in fact, there was a lot more. Is this how the Herrscher of Domination treats herself? For the sake of the Principle Studio, she even sold off her most precious, foolish subordinate's monthly usage rights. Isn't spending time with him once a month enough?

But the further Bronya read, the more she felt she might have misunderstood the Herrscher of Dominion.

The other party did indeed create the game according to their own design, but there's just something inexplicable about it. I don't think they hid any strange code or anything like that in the game, right?

After all, Theresa holds the power of life and death, so the other party shouldn't do anything under her nose.

But this game gave her a very strange feeling.

It's like her heavy-duty bunny originally had two tires, a front tire and a rear tire, but now there's an extra spare tire, but she just can't find where it's located, maybe inside, or maybe in some corner she can't see.

But it can indeed run, and it's quite stable... With an extra tire, how could it be unstable?

She just wants to see her stupid subordinates right now!

Unaware of her foolish subordinate's fate, her heart felt like it had been tickled by Houmu's little hand, unable to find peace. She refused to believe she couldn't find the solution. In Bronya's frantic attempts to fix the loophole, she vaguely forgot the concept of time.

Half an hour later, two figures appeared in the game lobby.

The game is over... and he's free.

Xia Yuan, looking haggard, was being supported by Mei, who looked satisfied. Seeing this, Miss Kuroki took a big gulp of her drink, so hard that the drink flattened out of shape.

Fortunately, Xia Yuan didn't see it, otherwise he would have shuddered. He already had a phobia of this game.

Referee, he needs a break!

If he keeps testing this game like this, he'll run out of ammunition and supplies.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Miss Hei hope smacked her lips as she chewed on the jelly pieces in her drink. The bad guy was really pitiful; his clothes were all tattered, and he was almost like a little beggar. This time, she didn't kick him while he was down; instead, she felt very sorry for his plight.

Those thunderstorms in the city, which felt like going through a tribulation, must have been unbearable.

Looking at the rascal's incredibly dim little eyes, she wanted to hug him and comfort him, but out of a desire for permanent revenge, she couldn't move her feet unless he came to her on his own, in which case she wouldn't mind giving him a little pillow with her thigh.

Go to sleep, have a good night's rest, and forget all your troubles.

Hmm, and by the way, forget about Bronya and Mei too, and her Seele as well. Don't always think about hitting on them. That bad guy only has her in his heart... Ugh, what's wrong with me?

Miss Hei hope felt increasingly uneasy. Had she been brainwashed by the band-aid that the bad guy had stuck on her forehead?

Perhaps it was out of shame and indignation.

She squeezed the already flattened drink out of shape again, just like the bad guy himself, squeezing it all out.

On the small platform to the left of Miss Kuroki, Qi Bao saw her game partner return, looking so disheveled. Her heart skipped a beat. Xia Yuan was really too pitiful. His eyes were almost turned into panda eyes by Mei. Maybe she shouldn't make Mei angry again.

This time, she kept her mouth shut and made absolutely no sound that would disturb Mei.

There's nothing I can do; if I can't afford to offend her, I can at least avoid her...

However, her game partners had been bullied to this extent by Mei, and she couldn't even say a word, let alone stand up for them. For a moment, Qi Bao's thoughts were not clear, and she felt guilty towards herself.

But she will definitely try her best to help the other party get revenge later; this score cannot be left unresolved!

Keqi didn't look for Mei, but Mei took the initiative to find her. The debt of calling her "Auntie" couldn't be left unresolved...

"Kiana, from now on you can only play games on Saturdays and Sundays. From Monday to Friday, you must study diligently. I will have Theresa arrange for the Herrscher of Domination's doll to come and supervise you. I will also randomly test your theoretical knowledge every now and then. If you fail, you will have to use Saturdays and Sundays for make-up classes."

I'm sure the Herrscher of Domination wouldn't refuse such a task.

Upon hearing this, Qi Bao's face turned deathly pale, and the dimness in her eyes was even more pronounced than that of her playmate.

"Mei, just kill me already!"

With only two days of game time per week, how can she defeat Bronya and climb the game rankings?

And to have the Herrscher of Domination urge her to study? What a hellish joke! What's the difference between that and killing her? Having just gone through something like that, given the Herrscher of Domination's vengeful nature, she'll definitely find ways to torment her in her studies!

She could even picture the tragic future.

A blonde girl with a bun hairstyle would suddenly appear no matter where she hid—morning, noon, or night—saying something like, "Kiana, you should learn from this!"

"As an elder, of course I care about your growth, Kiana."

Mei looked on with a smile at Qi Bao, who was sweating profusely on the opposite small platform. The paleness of Qi Bao's face and the beads of sweat were clearly visible.

"I'm sorry, Mei, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me."

Chapter 598 Three Women Make a Drama

"And also... I'm an adult now, I can take care of myself all along, Mei, you don't need to worry about me."

Kiana clasped her hands together, her attitude incredibly sincere.

Clearly, Qi Bao wasn't wrong; rather, she was facing imminent disaster and had no choice but to be sincere.

On this day, she recalled the fear she had felt when Mei tutored her at St. Freya Academy. With her teary eyes that looked like she was about to cry, she silently stared at Mei, hoping to gain a little pity from her. Could Mei really be so heartless?

"If I don't worry about it, who will? It can't be Mr. Xia Yuan, can it?"

"Of course you can!"

Qi Bao nodded like a chick pecking at rice. It was so good to have Xia Yuan worry about her, supervising her studies in the game and checking her game skills from time to time to see if they had improved.

"Ok?"

Mei gave Qi Bao a look, letting her figure it out herself; all Mr. Xia Yuan needed to do was worry about her.

"I, I was just joking, Mei... Mei, please don't be angry." Kiana quickly explained, realizing that the atmosphere was getting even more awkward. Kiana's survival instinct was extremely strong, but unfortunately, she didn't have a mouth to defend herself and clear her name.

He glanced at his gaming partners.

Qi Bao currently has no right to ask her game partner to put in a good word for her with Mei. Mei is in no better shape than her, and is even in a worse state. Mei has tormented her to such an extent, and her eyes look so haggard. If she were to be tormented by Mei again because of her, she would feel guilty.

The commotion in the game lobby caught Bronya's attention, prompting her to glance over.

"You idiot Kiana, you've been chattering away the whole time. What are you doing? Can't you just stay quiet in the game lobby? I can't concentrate on finding bugs in the game."

When she saw that her idiot subordinate had returned with Mei, she suddenly withdrew her hand from the administrator interface.

Now that the parties involved have returned, why is she still checking the code? The sheer amount of code written by the Herrscher of Domination is enough to give her a headache. It would be better to just ask the two of them directly. However, judging from Xia Yuan's miserable appearance, the game must have been lost, right?

At this point, it was her boss's turn to step in.

"Silly subordinate, it's okay. You did very well this round... You tried your best. Don't be disappointed or discouraged. In the next round, your boss will help you get revenge on Mei."

Bronya patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder solemnly.

Faced with his boss's sudden concern, Xia Yuan was truly flattered. His eyes became very subtle. He had indeed worked very hard, but it was different from the hard work Bronya was referring to. He swallowed back the words he was about to say. There was nothing he could do... he was just feeling guilty.

Besides finding the vulnerability, Bronya also took the opportunity to severely nerf the Herrscher of Thunder using a hot patch.

Even if it's not a major artery, it's still the aorta.

It greatly reduces the opponent's speed in the game, adds various insulating obstacles to the field, removes the setting of starting with [Seven Thunders of Purification], and prevents thunderstorms from falling even if the lightning protection device is not activated.

Of course, the most crucial thing is...

Bronya, by acting as an administrator, ensures that she will always be on the Herrscher side in the next game.

Can we start talking about things that happen in games now?

"Oh? Bronya, you're that confident in yourself? Didn't you suffer enough at Mei's hands last time? Do you want Mei to fry an egg for you in the game's frying pan?"

Bronya raised an eyebrow at Mei's teasing.

Just as she was about to retort, Qi Bao's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw this scene. She couldn't rely on her game partner now, but she still had her comrades-in-arms. She believed that Bronya would definitely help her.

"Bronya, quick, quick, help me talk to Mei. Mei only lets me play games on Saturdays and Sundays now."

Qi Bao wanted to win the other party over.

"Not letting Kiana play games? Isn't that great? Mei, I wholeheartedly agree with your decision. Go ahead and assign homework. That idiot is really bad at games and loves to play. Even if you had a hundred years, Kiana, you still wouldn't be able to beat me in games. You'd be better off researching the power of the end and doing something meaningful for the planet."

Bronya didn't want to be dragged into this by Kiana.

Bronya, you!

Qi Bao stared wide-eyed in disbelief. To her surprise, in the other person's mind, she was a terrible, playful noob who could never catch up with Bronya's progress no matter how hard she tried. It was just too much.

She just loves to have fun; she's not bad at it.

Ahem... I was a little bit of a noob at first, but who didn't start as a newbie?!

Xia Yuan silently grieved for Qi Bao for a second.

If that idiot hadn't said anything, Mei's attention might have shifted directly from her to Bronya, thus saving her from this predicament.

Now, with someone chiming in, regardless of whose mouth it was, both of their eyes were now focused on a certain little idiot. He had already tried his best to wink and hint to Qi Bao, but she still didn't notice. He might as well just find an Ellie and bump into her.

Qi Bao is beyond saving; gaming has ruined everything!

"Hmph, what a joke... Bronya, if you were in Xia Yuan's shoes, and he only let you play games on Saturdays and Sundays, could you accept that?"

Qi Bao, unwilling to give up, wanted to struggle a little longer.

Exhausted, he had intended to take a nap on Mei's shoulder, but upon hearing Kiana's words, his drowsiness vanished instantly. "My little Kiana, are you a game partner or his old nemesis? If you're going to drag someone down with you, don't include him!"

Xia Yuan secretly observed Bronya's reaction; he wanted to live a little longer.

"He dares?!"

Bronya glared at the other person.

Seeing that her silly subordinate dared not meet her gaze, she nodded in satisfaction. Her silly subordinate had performed well today, so she would reward him a little tonight. As a superior, she couldn't be too stingy.

Just as Bronya was considering what to reward Xia Yuan with tonight, Mei became unhappy. How could she stand by and watch her Mr. Xia Yuan suffer such injustice?

"Why wouldn't I dare? Bronya, you'll be just like Kiana, only allowed to play games on Saturdays and Sundays from now on."

Mei displayed the demeanor of an elder at this moment.

Bronya opened her cherry-like mouth wide; her Mei sister wasn't just trying to steal her boyfriend.

Chapter 599 Mei-neechan, don't cross the line!

Mei is trying to steal her stupid subordinate.

There's even a hint that she's plotting to seize power and become the first wife?! She's a newcomer, yet she dares to speak to her so confidently!

Bronya felt she had been quite tolerant of her older sister Mei.

Having gone through life-and-death situations with her foolish subordinate, who is also her friend, it's inevitable that some feelings will develop during this time, and things might even escalate. Even if he cheats on her, she can turn a blind eye.

But this time, her sister Mei crossed the line.

By directly stripping her of her right to play the game, how is this any different from snatching her limited-edition Houmu doll or dealing with a stupid subordinate?

"Mei, aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

"Yes, yes!"

Qi Bao nodded in agreement, like a chick pecking at rice.

Seeing that they had a common enemy, she could finally tie Bronya to the same side. However, Mei's slightly sharp gaze made Qi Bao subconsciously cover her mouth, lower her head, and not dare to meet her eyes.

"Ugh... Mei is so scary right now."

But she can't just give up like that. If Mei takes away her right to play the game and the dolls sent by the Herrscher of Domination keep an eye on her all day, her good days at the lunar base will be over, and she'll be facing a miserable existence for who knows how long.

"Wide? As your Mei-neechan, I don't think so. Of course, if Bronya, you're willing to apologize to Mr. Xia Yuan, you can still play the game as usual from Monday to Friday."

"I...I do! Xia Yuan, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong!"

Before Bronya could even speak, the little idiot, upon hearing that he could play the game as usual, couldn't help but raise his waving little hand and apologize to his game partner without caring whether he had done anything wrong.

"Qibao, what did you do wrong?"

"You're wrong everywhere! You point out where it's wrong, and that's exactly where it's wrong. I'll correct it immediately, and I'll make sure this young lady goes east, never west, and I guarantee I'll never have a second thought!"

"So, we'll listen to Mei? We can only play games on Saturdays and Sundays?"

"Except for this one!"

He figured it out: Qi Bao was willing to do anything to play games all day long, right?

Kiana's assurance pleased Mei, who nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly the attitude she wanted. She then turned her attention to Bronya, awaiting her reply.

"Oh, what if I say no?"
