Chapter 367 Daily life
The next day, Kiana arrived at the office of the Anti-Air Section 6, yawning.
I have to say that this new game is quite fun. Although the Hell mode is indeed difficult, Kiana had to use Time Rift to perform quick actions several times. Fortunately, there was a video of someone who had already completed the game in the comments, so Kiana shamelessly opened the other person's latest video and started watching it.
This shows that Kiana has indeed improved her understanding of the game a lot. After all, Tanuki's strategy is designed so that even a clumsy player can replicate most of it.
It's easy to see from the video that Tanuki has almost figured out the AI of all the enemies, and many battles are based on decisions made according to the opponent's AI and its distribution.
In just three or four hours, Kiana had reached the mid-to-late stages of the game's storyline. However, considering that she had to go to work the next day, Kiana saved the game in a suitable place and ended the live stream that night.
Back to the present, because Kiana quickly opened AC station to look for various clips of herself after her broadcast yesterday, she didn't lie down to sleep until four or five in the morning.
Looking at the faintly bright sky outside the window, Kiana fell into deep thought. In the end, she simply decided not to sleep and stayed in bed scrolling through her phone until it was time to get up.
That's why Kiana came in yawning, but the moment she stepped into the office, she was blocked at the door by Hoshimi Miyabi.
"Kiana, you've finally arrived! After seeing your performance yesterday, I couldn't sleep all night. Lying in bed thinking about it, I realized that only you can satisfy me. So, will you have a duel with me? Now, right now!"
Hoshimi Miyabi's words were startling, and the entire office fell silent—you could hear a pin drop. Fortunately, her final words revealed her purpose, preventing any misunderstanding.
Unlike the others who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Kiana felt extremely uncomfortable under Hoshimi Yana's intense gaze, and the words of refusal stuck in her throat.
Kiana finally agreed to Hoshimi Miyabi's request, and Hoshimi Miyabi excitedly grabbed Kiana's hand and took her to the virtual battle training room at HAND headquarters.
Upon arriving at their destination, Hoshimi Miyabi kept a close eye on Kiana, as if afraid she might run away at any moment.
Kiana, of course, wouldn't want to lose face. She knew that if she ran away, Hoshimi Miyabi would definitely follow Kiana around for a while, ready to challenge her to a duel at any moment.
Rather than being annoyed to death, it's better to just agree to the other party's request and defeat them. That way, Kiana will at least have some time to relax.
As for why it's a period of time, it's because during this period, Hoshimi Miyabi will undergo various training exercises until she believes she is strong enough to defeat Kiana, and then she will find Kiana again and challenge her to a duel.
Kiana knew this martial arts fanatic fox's personality well. She had been annoyed by her before, but back then Kiana deliberately lost by one move during the duel, and then spent several battles that got Hoshimi Miyabi losing interest in her.
But all of this effort came to naught yesterday. When Hoshimi saw that she was not at a disadvantage against the three data entities, including herself, and was even able to defeat them one by one, she knew that Kiana must have been secretly training for a long time and had greatly improved her strength.
I care a lot and want to know everything about her (referring to her cultivation techniques).
These thoughts churned in Hoshimi Miyabi's mind and finally erupted the next day, which is today. After seeing Kiana enter the office, Hoshimi Miyabi couldn't wait to come to her.
Upon arriving at the virtual battle training room, Kiana completely gave up. Under Hoshimi Miyabi's watchful gaze, she began operating the control panel beside her, and then the entire arena began to change.
Speaking of this virtual battle training room, the technology was still provided by Otto, and in Honkai Impact 3's words, it's the Memory Battlefield.
After all, this is the real world, and the training room's intensity can hardly guarantee that it can support a full-force battle between two Void Hunter-level combatants. Therefore, Kiana thought of another way to compete, and at the same time hoped that Hoshimi Miyako wouldn't realize that she had deliberately held back to lose.
Yes, Kiana still wanted to use the same method to make Hoshimi lose interest in her. However, even Kiana wasn't sure if Hoshimi would accept the fact that Kiana had easily lost to her after demonstrating her ability to defeat three opponents in one against them yesterday.
But how will you know if you don't try?
"Since you requested the duel, it's alright for me to decide the method of the duel, isn't that fine?" Kiana asked.
“Yes, I have no objection,” Hoshimi Miyabi nodded.
"Alright, the rules of the competition are very simple. Over the next few minutes, various types of 'monsters' will continuously spawn in the training room. What we need to do is compete to see who kills the most 'monsters' within the allotted thirty minutes. Whoever kills the most wins. How about that? Isn't it simple?"
"If possible, I would still prefer to fight you directly. However, I understand your concerns about potential losses here, so let's change this training to your suggestion of killing the most skeletons within a set time."
Kiana secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Hoshimi Miyako had agreed, and then gestured for Hoshimi Miyako to start first.
Hoshimi Miyabi naturally had no objections. She stepped forward to the center of the training room, and as the system's countdown ended, various skeletons began to appear around her.
The competition officially began. Hoshimi Miyabi drew her weapon with a speed imperceptible to ordinary people and began the slaughter. Soon, these lowest-level skeletons were cleared out by Hoshimi Miyabi, and the next wave of skeletons began to spawn.
Compared to the previous wave, this wave of Yi Hai not only has a larger number of Yi Hai, but their strength has also begun to increase.
"I forgot to mention, the strength of the skeletons increases with each wave. In other words, later on, skeletons of the same strength as Nineveh will also spawn. You'd better be careful."
"I see. It seems to be a good training session."
After saying that, Hoshimi Miyabi rushed into the pile of remains again, and in an instant, various remains scattered and flew into data fragments.
Time passed by, minute by minute, and soon the allotted thirty minutes were up.
Hoshimi Miyabi's final score was 560 Ikumo, including the infamous Ikumo who never killed anyone. If it weren't for the emergence of Nineveh at the end, this score could have been even higher.
After taking a deep breath to calm herself, Hoshimi Miyabi returned to Kiana's side.
"Kiana, it's your turn next. May I learn about the Kaslana family's gun-fu technique?"
"Okay, okay." Kiana sighed and stood in the center of the arena. "Speaking of which, don't I show you gun-fu every day? Besides, my gun-fu isn't from proper training. If you want to see authentic gun-fu, you should go to my sister."
"I went to her, but Durandal prefers using firearms to gun-fu, so she refused, saying she wasn't very good at it herself."
"You actually went to look for it!"
"of course."
"Okay, could you help me start the simulation system? I'm all set."
"Ok."
After saying that, Hoshimi Miyabi activated the simulation system, and Kiana's final score was 660, which can be said to be a victory with an overwhelming advantage.
Seeing Kiana stretch and return to her side, Hoshimi Miyabi's ears twitched as she asked Kiana a question.
"I never imagined Kiana had grown to this level. Can you tell me how you trained?"
Kiana was well aware that Hoshimi Miyabi would ask this question, so she had already prepared a response in her mind.
Yes, this time Kiana decided to defeat Hoshimi Miyabi with an overwhelming advantage first, then tell Hoshimi Miyabi the training method she had planned, and let her practice on her own in the following period of time, and then lose to her in the same way next time.
This was the idea Kiana came up with through brainstorming before arriving here, and the training method she came up with was naturally this competition format.
So when Hoshimi Miya heard that Kiana's training method was this, she decisively started the second simulation training. Kiana left the virtual battle training room after seeing that the other party was completely immersed in his own world.
At least for the next period of time, she shouldn't be bothered by Hoshimi Miyabi. She definitely won't come over until Hoshimi Miyabi surpasses her previous score.
On her way back to the office, Kiana casually took out her phone and discovered that miHoYo had just posted several notifications on Bluebird.
First, there's the update announcement for the new game "Sekigokko: Shadows Die Twice" (Sekigokko for short), which not only officially announced the specific update time but also unlocked some new content information.
Secondly, the virtual streamer characters for the fifth season were announced, and finally, the most anticipated collaboration between Urla Silver Wolf, Beichenmei, and Chizha Yuehaiyuyu Cat was officially scheduled.
Just like Kiana expected, it's exactly two days from the day of the first major update for Sekiro. And judging from Kiana's current progress with Sekiro, she should be able to officially complete the first playthrough by tomorrow at the latest, and then seamlessly connect to the collaboration live stream the day after tomorrow.
However, considering that Sekiro doesn't have any online elements, the collaboration content that day will most likely focus on the general discussion and some online games, such as Minecraft.
Speaking of which, it's been a long time since their company's Minecraft server, Kiana, has been online. I wonder how the server has developed now after so many people's efforts.
How about we play some Minecraft tonight?
On the other side, Ling was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone with a silly grin on her face. It was easy to tell from the content on her phone that she was watching clips of Yuyu Cat's live stream from yesterday.
“Hey sis, I know Yuyu Cat hasn’t streamed in a long time, but does that mean watching the live stream isn’t enough and you’re still watching these clips over and over again? You’ve been watching these clips for hours.”
"It's not like I'm not streaming video clips. Don't think I don't know what you're streaming just because I'm wearing headphones," Ling scoffed.
"Master, do you need my help to find out the true identity of the Moonlit Sea Fish Cat?" Fairy's voice came from H·D·D, and it was not hard to hear a hint of jealousy in her tone.
"No!" X2
Zheling and the other girl retorted without hesitation, and Fairy, seeing this, also began to inquire about the reason.
"The most important thing about Fairy virtual streamers is the word 'virtual.' Although the person behind the virtual streamer is the one who gives the virtual streamer a soul, that's precisely why everyone subconsciously avoids topics related to the person behind the virtual streamer, hoping to preserve their beautiful illusion about the virtual streamer..."
"I understand, but Master, there is still something I cannot understand."
"what's up?"
"There's a virtual streamer on the internet called Herrscher of Knowledge who doesn't seem to fit the definition of a master, but she's still a virtual streamer. How is that possible?"
“This… she’s a special case. Fairy, just know that not every virtual streamer can become a Herrscher of Knowledge.”
Just then, Zhe and Ling's phones rang at the same time. Looking down, they saw that it was Yuyu Cat posting another live stream announcement, saying that he would try to finish the live stream of fighting the fox before the collaboration, and he also attached the live stream schedule for the next two days.
"Brother, am I dreaming? That Fish Cat who's so proud of being a pigeon is actually doing live streams! Can I pinch you?"
"If you want to pinch me, go pinch me yourself. Why are you pinching mine?" Zhe said.
Seeing the frenzied reposts from netizens on Bluebird, Zheyi felt as if he were in a different world. He remembered that Yuyu Cat was livestreaming every day right after miHoYo Games' disastrous collapse, when the entire company had poured all its funds into virtual streamers in a high-stakes gamble.
After miHoYo successfully established itself as a virtual YouTuber and the second batch of YouTubers officially debuted, the members of the first batch gradually began to reduce the frequency of their live streams.
Immediately, rumors circulated online. Some said that miHoYo had abandoned its partners after achieving success, while others said that some members of the first cohort were blacklisted after making demands on their salaries. Ultimately, netizens learned the answer from the author, "The Lawyer of Knowledge," who stated that most of the first cohort members had returned to their normal lives, though the author did not elaborate further.
Since it came from a member of the first generation, netizens didn't investigate further, and the matter gradually subsided. Subsequently, everyone got used to the members of the first generation doing irregular live streams.
"That's really rare. Do you think it's because of this new game that Fish Cat is streaming so frequently?"
"It's certainly possible."
Ling agreed with Tetsu's guess, and then Fairy said that she had taken on a new job at the rope net, and the client was already on their way.
So the two of them put aside their thoughts and got into work mode, going outside to wait for their client to arrive.
Kiana, who had just finished posting the live stream announcement, returned to her workstation. Bored, she opened the rope net and unexpectedly discovered a request posted by Yae Sakura, but unfortunately, the request had already been accepted.
Upon seeing the ID of the person who took the commission, Kiana got up out of curiosity and prepared to leave. Of course, she had already thought of a reason for going out. Kiana then arrived at the door of Random Play.
