The morning sun streamed in, and Lu Ze’s internal biological clock chimed, prompting him to quickly get up. However, he felt a weight on him and promptly fell back onto the bed.
“What’s going on? Who’s on top of me this early in the morning?”
He looked down and saw a tiny Sirin. “Good heavens, climbing on me first thing in the morning, you still can’t break old habits, Sirin…”
“I’ve told you so many times, don’t climb on me… you just don’t listen. What if someone catches us? Wouldn’t I get a pair of silver bracelets and be thrown in jail?”
Perhaps his words were too gentle, as Sirin merely shifted slightly and went back to sleep.
Looking at Sirin, he couldn’t bear to disturb the porcelain doll’s rest. He quietly lifted himself up, wanting to escape the confines of the bed and also cover her with a blanket, lest she catch a chill.
Leaving the room, he saw Wendy already preparing breakfast.
“Good morning, Lu Ze. Breakfast will be ready soon. Go wash up and sit for a while. Oh, right. You still need to wake up Lilia and Sirin Bella. They’re all impossible to get out of bed, sigh…”
Wendy now acted like a mother, caring for her children.
“I didn’t expect you to be up so early. I thought I was already early,” he said.
Arriving at the main entrance, he pulled it open with force. The Honkai Impact 3rd experience store was reopening for business!
Meanwhile, the Herrscher of Domination’s theater had welcomed a few new guests, even a battleship. However, the angriest person among them was likely Theresa.
After all, the Herrscher of Thousand, using the authority of the Herrscher of Reason, had constructed her designed mecha, and did so right in front of the original creator. Anyone would be furious, right? It was like having all your achievements stolen right in front of you.
“Theresa, calm down. Don’t let anger cloud your judgment.”
Einstein, beside her, hugged her chest nonchalantly. Kiana and the others exchanged glances, saying nothing.
“Chicken coop head, I’m telling you, shut your mouth. It’s not your stuff that was stolen, so why are you lecturing me?”
Although Theresa was still furious, seeing all the imitation mechas destroyed seemed to release some of her frustration.
“Heh, you people! You just don’t know how to repent. Didn’t we tell you not to come in? Why did you still enter? Do you want to bring your so-called heroism to harm us ordinary people?”
“We… we just want to be valued, to prove our worth. But instead of recognition, we’ve received repeated denials and more harm. What do you people understand?”
“Get out, all of you!”
Doll after doll appeared, suspended by countless white threads, like puppets controlled by someone, yet each possessed its own consciousness…
“I won’t back down this time. I know my so-called heroic deeds might bring you more harm, but if I had to do it again, I would still choose to act! I’ve always fought for the beauty of the world!”
Determination flickered in Kiana’s eyes. She tightened her grip on her twin pistols, one eye yellow, the other blue. She had just used the Herrscher of the Void’s authority to forcefully summon the battleship here. Her remaining power was scarce; it seemed she had to end this fight quickly.
“Kiana, we will always be your support…”
Fu Hua and Bronya also stepped forward, one clenching her fists, the other raising her cannon, ready to face the Herrscher of Thousand’s judgment.
Lu Ze suddenly felt a sense of unease, a nameless restlessness in his heart, but he couldn’t pinpoint the reason. Sigh… he should focus on making the PV first.
“Sirin, for the upcoming lines, just read them as written. Try not to be too lively. Be cold, maintain your queenly image.”
Sirin nodded and resumed recording. Wendy silently cleaned outside, truly, whoever married Wendy would be blessed with happiness.
After a morning of voice acting, everything was mostly complete. The system had optimized the reward system, allowing for various types of rewards, such as Mora and Crystals.
After confirming there were no issues, Lu Ze clicked transmit. The large screens reappeared above the skies of the seven nations, this time covering a wider area, even appearing before each individual.
Those who weren’t paying attention were a bit panicked, but seeing that everyone else had screens, they were a bit confused but didn’t rush around in a frenzy.
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles silently watched the screen before her. What was this thing? How did it appear before her? And she couldn’t dispel it with her authority, how troublesome… What kind of monstrosity was this?
Zhongli, who had returned to Liyue, was enjoying his morning tea and breakfast when a black screen suddenly appeared before him. He was a little surprised. Did he not need to look up this time? It seemed the shop owner was becoming more dedicated.
Hu Tao was frowning as she sorted through bills. That guy Zhongli had spent quite a lot of money as soon as he returned to Liyue… Thank you so much, Honorary Resident Zhongli! The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor didn’t have much money to begin with, wasn’t this just adding insult to injury?
Suddenly, a screen appeared before her. Huh? Was there a new video this time? No way, was the shop owner this efficient? Didn’t they just release a video about Chiyou a few days ago? And now another new one already.
Wait, if I could recommend people to the shop owner, could I get them to pay in time instead of mora? Not anything else, just mora. That way, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s finances could still manage, and I wouldn’t have to work so hard, getting up early and staying up late to distribute flyers.
Once this thought entered her mind, it couldn’t be removed. It seemed she could ask the shop owner when she saw them next.
Raiden Ei had spent the entire hour she brought Yae Miko with her yesterday and was now looking rather bored at the pink-haired fox.
However, a screen soon appeared before her. This… another new video? No way, I haven’t even finished the event yet, and there’s already a new video. This isn’t fair! Can’t you wait a while for the new version?
Perhaps because every video released was related to new content, she subconsciously assumed a new version was imminent. She hadn’t even finished the event; how was she supposed to live?
In Sumeru, Lesser Lord Kusanali looked boredly at the palace. She really didn’t know what the Akademiya scholars were thinking, wanting to confine her, a god, here. They were truly audacious… Well, she wouldn’t argue with them for now; she’d settle the score later.
