Qianjie ignored the audience's chatter and continued progressing through the main story.
After Rita dealt with Gray Serpent.
Next, the perspective shifted to Theresa's side.
In their search for Kiana's whereabouts, while evading Schicksal's pursuit, they had arrived in Arc City and similarly contacted Gray Serpent.
The subsequent plot was relatively straightforward.
The protagonist group had a discussion, then arrived at the meeting point with Gray Serpent, only to find him already dead.
After Bronya scanned Gray Serpent's body, she discovered that most of the useful items had already been taken.
Only a bio-chip remained on the inner wrist of the corpse, specifically used for permission identification.
Using this bio-chip, they could enter Gray Serpent's territory to search for backed-up intelligence data.
The operation could continue.
This part of the story ended.
The next part returned to Rita.
She reported what had just happened to Otto.
Otto merely touched his chin with his right index finger, thoughtfully replying, "This fellow is an agent planted in Arc City by 'World Serpent'."
An organization of extreme importance in Honkai Impact 3rd had finally surfaced.
The players' attention was also captured by this sentence.
This 'World Serpent' seemed to be a new faction.
The plot of Honkai Impact 3rd suddenly became much richer; what had been shown before seemed to be merely the tip of the iceberg.
In this world, there had never been a game, a mobile game at that, which would create such a vast worldview, provide voice acting for every line of dialogue, and occasionally insert well-produced CG cutscenes.
Therefore.
Even the few viewers who were just watching out of curiosity and hadn't played Honkai Impact 3rd were drawn in by the story.
The main story plot of Honkai Impact 3rd could entirely be watched as an anime series.
[Brother Jie, what do you think of this new organization, World Serpent?]
"Snake? That reminds me of a very unpleasant person."
Qianjie's disdain was palpable: "So, the leader of this World Serpent is definitely not a good person either. There's no doubt about that."
He reached his conclusion in a very simple manner.
Rita and Otto's conversation continued, and she soon revealed her entire plan.
She had intentionally left Gray Serpent's bio-chip for Theresa and her group, wanting to use them to crack Gray Serpent's countermeasures, and then she would appear to intercept the prize.
The subsequent plot indeed unfolded much as Rita had anticipated.
Theresa and the others infiltrated Gray Serpent's base, cutting down enemies along the way, finally reaching the deepest part of the facility.
There, they saw a little girl with data cables plugged into her head, sitting silently and motionless.
They learned that she was a modified human; her brain had been integrated with a quantum computer engine, granting her astonishing computational power, allowing her to monitor the entire Arc City at all times.
The protagonist group had an exchange with the little girl. After the little girl successfully infuriated Theresa and Mei, and negotiations reached an impasse.
It was Bronya who successfully used her own methods to make the little girl obediently go with her.
Meaning, by aiming a cannon at the girl's head.
The audience in the livestream room immediately filled with an air of amusement upon seeing this.
They couldn't help but express that although miHoYo's scriptwriter was good at dishing out 'knives,' they definitely had skills.
Even a side character could be portrayed so vividly.
If he was willing to mend his ways, write more comedy in the future, and fewer 'knives,' everyone could turn from haters to fans.
Qianjie continued to push the story forward.
The next segment of the plot returned to Rita.
She had been tracking Theresa and the others, only to find their trail suddenly vanish.
Just as she was feeling surprised, she sensed a murderous intent from behind and immediately raised her scythe to block.
Clang!
The two weapons collided.
With a soft cry, the attacker revealed herself – it was Raiden Mei.
"Heh, a sneak attack? Miss Mei, that's not very honorable."
"Honorable?"
Mei replied, slightly agitated, "Hearing that word from your mouth is truly ironic. Compared to what you people did to Kiana, this slash of mine is nothing."
Rita didn't respond directly but instead asked, "I'm very curious, how did you know I would come here?"
Mei didn't continue her attack either, engaging Rita in a "you're on the first layer, but I'm on the fifth, I've seen through all your tricks" kind of explanation.
She reached the final conclusion: "That bio-chip we found... you left it intentionally, didn't you? To make it more convenient for us to find clues."
Clap, clap, clap~~
Rita elegantly clapped her hands in applause.
After two more exchanges of dialogue, the game entered a battle scene.
This time, the player controlled Rita.
The main story stages were basically freebies. After Qianjie easily thrashed Mei, he couldn't help but complain.
"Only this strong?"
"And you still want to get your partner back? Don't make me laugh!"
"Weak, too weak!"
[Brother Jie is really so strict.]
[Brother Jie, calm down, don't get too worked up. Maybe this stage just had its stats adjusted.]
[Analyzing the plot, Mei doesn't have the 'Gem of Conquest' now, so she has indeed become very weak. Let alone an S-rank Valkyrie, I'm afraid...]
"With her current strength, she can't do anything!"
"She's truly disappointed me, Raiden... Mei?"
Qianjie continued to mock Mei mercilessly.
It was just unknown why when he uttered the name 'Raiden Mei.'
He inexplicably pondered for a moment, as if confirming he hadn't misremembered the name; after all, a four-character name was too complicated.
At this moment, a Pinned Message appeared.
A Pinned Message was a paid message that could unconditionally appear at the very top of the livestream chat.
Usually, viewers would use it if they had something particular they wanted to say to the streamer and were afraid the streamer might miss it.
[Pinned Message: Hey, don't be like that, Qianjie. It's not good to be so fierce to girls in my livestream room~ Maybe Mei is watching~♪]
[Miss Elf has appeared! Quick, throw a Master Ball!]
[Hahaha~~ Even Miss Elf can't stand grumpy Brother Jie anymore.]
"You all shut up!"
Just as Qianjie opened his mouth, another Pinned Message inserted itself.
[Pinned Message: My livestream viewers are all very loving people, so please be a little more polite~ Qianjie~ Please~♪]
[Yeah, yeah, I haven't said a single swear word since I was little. Things like 'holy crap,' 'NMD,' 'get lost'... I don't know how to say any of them.]
[That's right, that's right, we're super refined and easygoing.]
"…"
Qianjie, however, after seeing Elysia's Pinned Message, frowned slightly and thought about it very seriously for a moment.
Finally.
He slowly said to the livestream audience, 'very politely,' "Please, shut up."
