"Look, look, come and see, don't miss out! Fruits picked fresh this morning, very juicy!"
"Come and see our clothes, made of pure cotton. Even though it's summer now, you should still buy your winter clothes, right?"
"Feng Qi Bi Sheng, arriving as promised!"
Wait, did something strange slip in there?
Lu Ze walked through the streets of Mondstadt with Wendy. Even in the afternoon, many people were hawking their wares. After all, everyone has to make a living, and it's all due to the pressures of life.
"Wendy, do you want to eat anything? If you do, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you."
After all, Old Man Lu gave him some funds, and now he's a man with money. How could he be afraid of such a small expense?
The two of them browsed until late before returning to the shop. Their little Ai-chan had also finished making two helmets.
"Aaargh, damn Captain, making me work here while you go on a date with a girl? What the heck is this?"
Cabbage Head was very angry. When has she, Ai-chan, ever been treated like this? Ever since she got a new Captain, she hasn't had a single good day.
"Isn't Liliya accompanying you? Keep it up, Ai-chan, you can do it."
Liliya, holding a small golden figure, silently watched her. It was less like accompanying her and more like supervising.
Our poor Ai-chan! Unable to go out and play, she could only toil away in the studio making helmets, *sob sob*, so pitiful!
Lu Ze and Wendy also returned. After all, the two of them couldn't possibly get a hotel room outside, how embarrassing. Actually, it's more like someone was too scared. After all, if the shop employees saw him taking such a small child to a hotel... it would be good enough if they didn't call the Knights of Favonius. No, wait, there are no phones now.
In short, it was very risky. Getting a hotel room was out of the question. After all, such things can't be rushed.
After a simple greeting, the shop was ready to close for the day. After all, after a busy day, how could they not rest?
Although the one who was probably most tired was Ai-chan...
The morning light shone upon the land. Someone was already waiting at the entrance, it was Venti. This fellow had been waiting since past five yesterday evening, he was truly going to great lengths to experience the brand new 1.1 version!
Lu Ze, looking groggy, opened the roller shutter. He hadn't slept well at all last night. Venti had clung to him, insisting on sleeping with him, which made it impossible for him to fall asleep.
"So sleepy, maybe I'll catch up on some sleep this morning."
He thought as he flipped the "Closed" sign to the "Open" side, signifying that the Honkai Impact 3rd offline experience store was open for business again.
Venti rushed into the store like lightning. After all, there were only three machines per day. Right now, he looked like a gaming addict.
"Hmm? You're here so early? It's just a new version, is it really that important?"
Lu Ze casually glanced at the leaderboard. Good heavens, Venti was still in first place? Impossible, right? Second place was Raiden Ei, and third was Hu Tao. It seemed Zhongli hadn't participated at all.
However, there were still about four days left until the task reset. It refreshed once a week, just like the Spiral Abyss.
Meanwhile, in the other Honkai world, a large number of Honkai Beasts had inexplicably died. Some seemed to have been cut by sharp blades, some were completely charred by electricity, and some even had burns on their bodies.
This gave the people of Schicksal a headache. Who exactly was hunting the Honkai Beasts? Every time they were sent on a mission, they returned empty-handed. Is this good? This is not good. It makes them seem useless, doesn't it?
"A new version! I definitely have to be the first to try it! I have an hour anyway, let me see what this new version is like?"
Seeing that three new seats had been added in the hall, each with a helmet on it, he thought, "If I had known they were adding helmets today, I wouldn't have woken up so early..."
Originally, with only three helmets, they would have to fight for them. Six today should be fine, right?
He expertly lay down on the recliner, put the helmet on his head, and directly entered the game world.
Watching the familiar animation, Venti suppressed his excitement and quickly logged into the game, where he saw the new content of the new version.
Version 1.1 added a B-rank and an A-rank Valkyrie, both of them were Himeko. It seemed this teacher was quite formidable.
At the same time, six new weapons and three sets of gacha stigmata were launched, a new chapter of the side story, the Xuanyuan Chapter, was updated, along with some adjustments to certain Valkyries.
Seeing the new story, the name Xuanyuan had a very Liyue flavor.
He had to try it quickly, hehe!
Outside, Lu Ze was contemplating which PV to make. Maybe this time he would make Xuanyuan and Chi You. He remembered finding that story quite good at the time, but poor Ji Lin ended up being corrupted.
This PV would be very easy to make, as the opening plot was quite short. It would probably be finished in a morning. So, he would work overtime to get it done!
The experience points for the next version were a whopping 100,000. Furthermore, since a PV had already been released once, the effect this time would be worse than the first time. Sigh... When will version 1.2 arrive?
Meanwhile, in Inazuma.
Raiden Ei was preparing to forcefully bring her old friend over. Although the other party was willing to go with her, there was no help for it. Recent affairs had been a bit too busy. Even though she wanted to slack off, she was the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine.
"I say, how long will you be processing these documents?"
Raiden Ei looked at the documents on the desk and got a headache. After all, she would rather go out and fight than process documents. This sort of thing should ideally be handled by the General.
"It's all your fault! You ran off to play and left all the messy work to me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be processing them for so long."
Yae Miko looked at her with a hint of grievance, but she was also curious about this Honkai Impact 3rd. What was it that made her old friend so obsessed, even leaving Tenshukaku for the first time...
"Alright, my bad. Then I'll have the General help you. With the General there, it should be processed faster."
Yae Miko replied immediately.
"No, no, don't call her. I get annoyed just seeing the Raiden Shogun. Just sit in front of me. These documents will probably be finished in a morning. Sigh... I'll never help you process so many documents again next time."
As for Zhongli, he was following the busy Hu Tao. This Director had directly bought a small building. If not for a big business deal recently, they probably wouldn't have been able to afford rent.
