Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Mei Raiden is like an old mother, taking care of two naughty kids who are not very obedient. In addition, she has to go to the next room from time to time to take care of the drunk who often forgets to turn off the lights at night.

This is the daily life in an ordinary Valkyrie dormitory of the famous St. Freya Academy.

What can I say?

Principal Theresa should give her another salary as a housekeeper...

Lin Wei, who was far away across the ocean, had no idea about those "heartwarming daily stories" in the Far East, and he had no interest in prying into other people's lives.

He just lay comfortably in the computer chair and stretched comfortably.

When Lin Wei thought about the painful memory of how he had cheated like crazy and used every possible method, and how he was beaten bloody by Bronya, he felt a sense of pleasure of revenge.

What to say?

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; without the blessing of technology, Bronya is nothing more than this!

"You deserve to die developing games in the future!"

Lin Wei thought with malice.

The fact that a game adapted from a world-renowned IP can fail so catastrophically is, to some extent, a form of ability.

"Or... retribution?"

Lin Wei's malicious thoughts became more and more bizarre, because he remembered that Bronya seemed to have asked Kiana to test the game for her.

"Kiana is currently engaging in intense solos with Bronya, a tech-savvy girl, every day..."

Lin Wei clicked his tongue and thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed;

"This is truly a battle against a god based on sheer strength! This honest child, Kiana... after two years of training like this, even if you put aside her Herrscher-level reflexes, her body should be almost saintly..."

Then, she would use her sky-high gaming skills as a basis to provide feedback and suggestions for improvements to the games developed by Bronya.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it really is tit for tat!"

Sooner or later, you will have to pay for what you have done. Lin Wei was quite gloating about this.

As I thought about it, I thought of myself again, and couldn't help but sigh, and a headache came over me.

I have owed a lot of things to others over the past year, and I don’t know how I will be able to repay this debt in the future.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time..."

Don’t worry if you have too much debt, just start trading.

I have already stumbled through this game that started from hell and reached this level today. The worst that can happen is that I can just continue playing. Who is afraid of who?

Lin Wei said that her mentality is very stable.

"Judging from Bronya's reaction, she's not completely hostile to me... Maybe she's still wary and hostile, huh, that's human nature. But at least she hasn't shut the door to communication..."

Lin Wei closed his eyes and thought silently,

This is definitely a good thing. At least in the future, when they come into contact with the group from St. Freya Academy, they won't face excessive hostility. It can even be considered a bridge for deeper contact.

"I just don't know, with Bronya's attitude...how much of my previous sincerity is true, and how much of Seele, who's far away in this world, is true?"

Lin Wei opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling, pondering the significance of this incident; the possible outcomes as variables; and, among all these, whether there was anything he could do...

He has always believed in one truth: if you plan ahead, you will succeed; if you don't, you will fail.

Regardless of whether it will really be used in the future, it is always a good idea to think more about it in advance and prepare several contingency plans.

………………

Far East, St. Freya Academy.

After being scolded for a long time by Mei's sister who pointed her finger at her forehead, Bronya finished her breakfast under her sister Mei's strict gaze, and was supervised by her to turn off all electronic devices and go to bed.

Then Mei closed the curtains for her, dimming the light in the room, and then she tiptoed out of the room—to go to another room and pull the ear of someone who refused to get up.

A few minutes later, the gray-haired girl lying motionless on the bed suddenly began to softly recite instructions.

"Reloading Bunny 19C, activation. Neural external system, connected."

As she input the command, the air beside the bed suddenly twisted slightly, and a light blue light appeared out of thin air, flowing silently like water waves.

"Bronya, start sync."

Then Bronya felt as if her consciousness passed through a tunnel in an instant and arrived in a completely new universe.

When she opened her eyes, what came into view was an ocean of data streams composed of countless "0"s and "1"s, flowing endlessly in front of her eyes to infinity and infinity.

Her consciousness has arrived in a vast data space, and Bronya is very familiar with the scenery here.

This is the core database of Destiny. Bronya once brought Kiana here to help her quickly improve her history grades.

But this time, she came here again with a different purpose.

"Reinstall Bunny 19C and activate data retrieval function."

Bronya calmly wandered in the ocean of data, softly issuing commands. A huge half-humanoid mecha appeared out of thin air behind her, embracing her like a knight guarding a princess.

"Search method: Search by encryption level, from low to high, excluding high-level and above encryption terms; Search keyword: 'quantum'; Search scope: All... Command input complete, search begins!"

She learned her lesson from the last time she came here, when she was too reckless and accidentally entered the top-secret core area, which led to Bishop Otto.

Although Bishop Otto magnanimously did not pursue the matter and even helped herself and Kiana, Bronya still learned her lesson and set strict red lines for herself this time to avoid similar accidents from happening again.

Although she also knew that the higher the encryption level of the data, the more valuable it was to search and read; she did not want to cause any more trouble to her companions, so she chose to be safe.

As Bronya issued her order, countless data streams, like mighty rivers branching out from the ocean, were input into her consciousness through the heavily armored bunny, and then passed through her thin body and merged back into the vast ocean of data.

The torrent of information was so overwhelming that it made her consciousness a little dizzy for a moment, as if she was about to be washed away and turned into countless "0"s and "1"s in this ocean.

Bronya endured the burning pain from the gradually overheating chip in her brain, gritting her teeth to prevent herself from screaming.

"If I had known earlier, I would have learned more about this from Cocolia's mother..."

Bronya couldn't help but smile bitterly, blaming herself for being too introverted at the time, otherwise she wouldn't have to use such an extreme method to "make up lessons" for herself now.

"Seele... Bronya... I will definitely bring you out!"

Bronya gritted her teeth and strengthened her faith, allowing herself to hold on a little longer and absorb more knowledge and information.

After an unknown amount of time, a red alarm light suddenly lit up on the Heavy Armor Bunny. Despite Bronya's somewhat unwilling resistance, the chip in her brain automatically took over control of her body and issued the following command:

"Alarm! Alarm! Overheat detected, Bronya disconnected."

"do not want!"

Bronya wanted to hold on a little longer, but when she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar ceiling, and then the unstoppable sleepiness surged over her like a tide, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Bronya originally thought that she would be wary of Lin Wei.

But ever since Lin Wei contacted her several times and assured her that "Xier is still alive", she no longer hated him.

There was only one reason - he gave her hope that she had never dared to hope for.

This alone was enough to make Bronya burst into tears of gratitude towards Lin Wei.

And if Lin Wei was lying to her, Bronya swore that she would kill him and take revenge on him in the most ruthless and cruel way.

But at least for now, she wanted to believe him, because the future this news represented was very bright for her.

So, she chose to accept Lin Wei because in her eyes, he was the bridge between herself and Xier, and she didn't want to lose this hope.

Even if the final attempt proves that this is just a dream, she still wants to do it a little longer and be happy a little longer.

Even if this was just a false hope given to her by others, Bronya didn't want to just wait there. She wanted to work hard and strive for it on her own so that it would have a greater chance of becoming a reality.

First of all, she wanted to learn, wanted to know more, and wanted to know what the so-called "quantum field" was.

Otherwise, she would be like a fool, completely blind. Even if she was given a chance to save Xier in the future, she would probably not be able to seize it.

Bronya rejects such a future!

The trip went smoothly, but will the retrieved information be useful?

Bronya didn't know, but she knew that doing it was better than not doing it.

In the hazy state of half awake and half asleep, she seemed to see the fragile blue girl showing her a half-beautiful smile like a butterfly.

Bronya moved her fingers with difficulty, but she was too tired to lift her hands to touch the face she had been thinking about day and night.

"Seele... Bronya... won't give up..."

………………

at the same time,

Destiny Headquarters·Floating Island·Central Church

"Ok?"

Otto's eyebrows suddenly raised, his eyes moved away from the screens hanging on the wall and the experimental monitoring data that kept jumping on them, and looked at the core data terminal located here. He scratched his chin and muttered to himself in some confusion,

"Another external access to the database? What does that girl from Anti-Entropy want to do?"

After thinking for a while, he asked without raising his head.

"Amber, is there any exam for Theresa soon?"

Bronya still miscalculated. She underestimated the strictness of Otto's surveillance of St. Freya Academy.

"No, my Lord, as far as I know."

Amber answered decisively, and then calmly asked,

"Do we need to send a communication to the Far East Branch to inquire about their recent work arrangements?"

"That's not necessary, Amber. Now, just be quiet."

Otto smiled slightly, refused to intervene prematurely, and then said to himself,

"That's strange... Can you let me see what you've been browsing?"

Otto swiped his finger, and dense browsing history appeared on his screen, making Otto frown, a little surprised.

"Are there any materials or books on the quantum field in Theresa's curriculum?"

"As far as I know, there are indeed some relevant courses, Your Excellency."

Amber seemed not to hear Otto's soliloquy, but was just faithfully performing her duties.

"Hehe, interesting..."

Otto stroked his chin and looked carefully at the thousands of search records, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Most of it is public information, some relatively cutting-edge but innocuous information, and even some theories that have been disproven... Has the academic pressure at St. Freya's Academy really reached this level?"

How can it be!

Otto waved away these absurd thoughts, raised his head and asked Amber,

"Are there any strange movements on the Anti-Entropy side recently?"

The quantum field is Anti-Entropy's specialty, and Bronya is from Anti-Entropy. This made Otto wonder if Anti-Entropy was trying to do something funny and sneaky again.

"Anti-Entropy has indeed been showing some strange movements recently."

Countless streams of information flow through the amber eyepiece,

"They've recently suddenly begun to intensify their scrutiny of internal personnel, funding, projects, and so on, which has caused a lot of internal conflict. At present, it seems that they have started an internal struggle again."

"Really? Haha, that's a coincidence... Keep an eye on them."

Otto sneered, with a cold light dancing in his eyes.

He thought he was already very tolerant, so he would never allow anyone to cause trouble for him at this critical moment.

"Yes."

Amber responded, making this a top priority.

Now that there was a solution for the time being, Otto stopped paying attention to it and turned his attention back to the full screen.

Soon, he found that Amber was still standing there and had not left.

"Amber, is there anything else?"

"Ah, yes, your Excellency, one more thing."

Amber was slightly stunned, then answered seriously,

"We've received an urgent message from the Second Laboratory. All the Valkyries sent there for experiments have been used up. Dr. Maki is urging us to send a new batch of...test subjects as soon as possible."
