Bab 105: Chapter 105: Otto's Invitation
Setting aside the controller in hand and dispelling the false weariness, Otto urged his soulium body to recall the games he had experienced before.
"Breath of the Wild" was truly a masterpiece, guiding Link through the vast expanse of land, providing a sense of savoring the world and its natural beauty.
Traversing the land on foot, braving countless perils to rescue the princess.
The visuals might not have been optimal due to the handheld console's performance, but whether it was the gameplay experience, subtle guidance, or the background music, they were all top-notch.
Recalling the seemingly all-knowing little sister.
Honestly speaking, Otto still found it incredibly miraculous. The traveler from the Sea of Quanta, who had done the most in this world was creating games.
How should he put it? It's quite remarkable, isn't it?
After all, those willing to journey through the Sea of Quanta usually didn't linger in one world for too long, yet Bronya did!
And she brought with her countless fascinating games.
Otto often brought games to Bianka, hoping the child could relax a bit. Who would have thought a child could be so disciplined?
Perhaps it was Ragnar's influence.
But games were games, and Otto couldn't afford to miss a very important moment himself.
In the not-too-distant future, in February 2012, a brief temporal window would appear near the Northeast Greenland National Park fjord.
And through that window, it would become an opportunity for Schicksal to explore the Sea of Quanta!
This opportunity, akin to the transit of Venus, Otto wouldn't let slip by. However, when it came to selecting the exploration team, there were some considerations.
Otto had witnessed the changes in the Void Archives, so could Haxxor Bunny be trusted?
Honestly, Otto didn't think so. Although she was indeed a very suitable choice as a guide, Otto himself couldn't discern what Bronie truly needed.
Mysterious, wielding advanced technology, usually quiet, yet once she took action, she inexplicably became involved in Otto's own K423 plan!
Was this reasonable?
Where did this information come from?
Honestly, Otto found it all very perplexing, but he also didn't dare to provoke Bronie too much.
After all, Bronie seemed able to enter the Sea of Quanta at will, while Schicksal himself still needed to craft a Gnius and await a temporal window before entering the Sea of Quanta.
Schicksal's research on time, space, the Sea of Quanta, and imaginary space actually originated from the advent of the Second Herrscher.
To have achieved this level within ten years, Otto felt he was already very impressive.
So, in terms of selecting explorers for the Sea of Quanta, Otto attached great importance to it, especially considering the limited output of Gnius, not many people could be brought in.
Bianka was guaranteed, and the other one, was it to be a completely unfamiliar Haxxor Bunny, or a trusted deputy, Rita?
While the game was enjoyable, it didn't necessarily reflect the nature of its creator.
Therefore, Otto settled on Rita, but as for Haxxor Bunny, that guy definitely couldn't just be left unused like this!
After all, the other party should understand better than himself what the situation in the Sea of Quanta was, right?
Although he didn't know Haxxor Bunny's demands, stopping at a certain point of contact might be beneficial to both parties.
So Otto sought out Bronie.
Through the contact information left by Bronie.
Watching Bronya's intense release of new games, Otto sometimes even suspected whether Bronie did nothing but develop games in her spare time.
And Bronis's flow of funds was also somewhat strange. Recently, she even commissioned some people to buy mining companies.
Mining?
Raw materials for making game consoles?
Certainly not.
So, to be honest, Otto was confused after seeing it all, but one thing he couldn't be sure of was what Bronie wanted to achieve in this world.
"Hello, Miss Bronie, congratulations on the successful release of your new game console. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a very interesting game. Such games can bring smiles to countless children, and even the psychological state of Schicksal's Valkyries has improved somewhat.
You know, although the Valkyries within Schicksal shout for fighting for all the good in the world, their essence is always focused on revenge. Their psychological state always makes me feel very worried, but your game has successfully made them realize that there should not only be revenge in their lives. I am very grateful to you."
"Having said so much, so you want to give me money?"
Bronie remained unmoved. Otto, this guy, must have something in mind to approach her. Calculating the time carefully, it was indeed almost time.
Could it be that this guy wanted to make her a guide to the Sea of Quanta?
Although the sword Durandal indeed feels quite powerful, Bronya herself is clear that she definitely doesn't have the temperament to wield a weapon like that.
"Hahaha, if your requirement is truly just money, then that would be perfect, but I believe Miss Haxxor Bunny's pursuits are not so shallow, right?"
"Well then, let me guess, what do you want from me? Apart from causing trouble for Anti Entropy, paralyzing their Titan internal systems, I'm afraid the only other thing would be the matter of the Sea of Quanta, right? Hm, have you found a way to enter the Sea of Quanta? Are you prepared to explore it?"
"It seems Miss Haxxor Bunny has already guessed this, so I won't beat around the bush. Yes, Schicksal is planning to explore the Sea of Quanta in order to find a way to counter the Honkai, and also to further verify the truth of the world brought to me by Miss Haxxor Bunny."
The Imaginary Tree hypothesis is still very useful. If they can enter the Sea of Quanta, then we can further verify the correctness of Miss Haxxor Bunny's theory.
It feels like playing Civilization, stepping on a village, and then the village shares a nuclear bomb technology with the player in the classical era.
Otto's plan is directly lifted!
"What do you need me to do?"
"For us, Schicksal, everything in the Sea of Quanta is unknown, so I hope Miss Haxxor Bunny can come to Schicksal Headquarters to guide the Valkyries who are about to explore the Sea of Quanta for a period of time, to ensure that they have more means to deal with the crises they may encounter in the Sea of Quanta."
Wow, Otto directly invited me to Schicksal Headquarters! This is a dangerous place. Who knows what will happen there?
Although Bronya found that Otto seemed unaware that she had copied all the data inside the Void Archives, going to Schicksal Headquarters would still make her a bit wary.
Should I go?
"Hehe, of course, you don't need to worry too much. If you can come to Schicksal Headquarters, then I will give you the highest treatment as Archbishop. Although the Sea of Quanta may be full of dangers, I just want to seek your guidance."
Otto's tone was sincere, with a sunny smile and a sincere and cheerful expression at the other end of the communication, all making Bronie somewhat hesitant.
Fake, it's all fake!
What sunny and cheerful smile? Otto has some ulterior motives, definitely thinking of using me for something.
But well...
Actually, going to Schicksal Headquarters might still have other gains, right?
Like plundering some of Schicksal's mech data, then dismantling Schicksal's defense systems, and leaving a backdoor in Schicksal's intranet.
So that in the future, if Theresa suddenly wants to deal with Otto, Bronya can still lend a hand.
I heard there are huge protective barriers around Schicksal's Sky Island?
Is that not easy to solve?
Weighing the pros and cons, Bronie looked at Bronya, who was tilting her head nearby.
I'm a little worried about Kiana, but I also want to help Bianka's side.
After all, who knows if there will be any butterfly effects?
"Archbishop Otto, my fee is very high! This time, what I want is definitely not just simple money."
When Otto heard Bronie's answer, he was suddenly delighted.
It's a good thing to have demands.
Otto was afraid he wouldn't be able to figure out what Bronie needed. Last time it was knowledge, and Otto felt that Bronie must have gained more knowledge than what she had given.
The scope was too broad to accurately determine Bronie's intentions.
As for the knowledge Bronie wanted?
It must have a certain misleading effect, there's no doubt about it.
So, what Bronie needs next can be further narrowed down, thoroughly locking onto Bronie's intentions.
"Alright, alright, that's how a deal works. We have plenty of time to negotiate. As long as it's not something too outrageous, Schicksal has plenty to offer. With five hundred years of heritage, I can proudly tell you that the things I lack the least are time and money."
After ending the call with Mr. Otto, Bronie also got up from her seat and lazily stretched.
"Sister Bronya is going on a long trip again?"
"Not really, after all, Schicksal Headquarters is quite close to the Ural Mountains."
"Bronya is going too!"
"No!"
Seeing Bronya also getting up, Bronie immediately refused Bronya's suggestion.
Bronya looked a little aggrieved.
"Does Sister Bronie doubt Bronya's combat abilities?"
"Not at all, but where I'm going next is the headquarters of the most powerful organization, Schicksal, which is currently fighting the Honkai. Schicksal Headquarters is located on a floating island above the Mediterranean, and the most important point is that Otto has Hua and Fenghuang Down by his side. I can ensure my own safety, but I can't guarantee yours."
Otto can do anything for his plan.
Using Fenghuang Down on children?
As long as it can really achieve his goal, there is absolutely no problem!
Otto's desire for control over things around him is naturally very high, he is so eager to contact me because he wants to reduce the unknown and uncertain factors around him.
After all, Bronie is by K423's side, and Otto doesn't know what Bronie wants to do nearby.
Even with such efficient production of games, it seems that Otto's concerns cannot be dispelled.
It's better to say that Otto is already coming to me now, it's already very late.
Sometimes Bronie also wonders if Otto, apart from experiments and necessary social interactions, is just playing games at home?
...
The highest treatment of Schicksal is indeed the highest treatment.
Originally, if they were going to Schicksal Headquarters, they would at most take a transport plane and go straight up.
Who knows why Ragnar brought a floating battleship to pick her up.
Walking onto the bridge, the view is wide open, and then the battleship enters stealth mode, continuously ascending until it passes through the clouds.
Throughout the journey, Bronie hardly communicated with many Valkyries.
But Miss Ragnar's gaze seems to be drifting over, which really makes Bronie a little uncomfortable.
"Is there something wrong, Miss Captain?"
"No, no, nothing, I just feel like I've seen you somewhere before. Have we met, Miss Bronie?"
"Hm, I rarely appear in the public eye, but if you feel familiar, you probably saw me in some news, right?"
Did Ragnar's memory get modified by Otto?
Bronie was also helpless, but judging from her spirited words, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Miss Ragnar is also a very good person, full of enthusiasm to fight for the beauty of the world, but reality is often cruel. When facing the Herrscher, even A-rank Valkyries find it difficult to survive on the battlefield.
"No wonder Archbishop Otto made such a big fuss. Could it be that you are a sudden genius? Very talented in scientific research?"
"Come on, do I have that ability? I'm just a game developer. Perhaps it's because Archbishop Otto cares so much about the psychological condition of you Valkyries, so he wants to discuss gaming matters with me?"
"Games! So that's it! Switch is made by you? And also The Legend of Zelda, Kirby's Adventure, are all made by you!
"?"
Ragnar suddenly approached, making Bronie quite uneasy and quickly retreated.
Pay attention to social distancing!
"Sorry sorry, because I was too excited when I heard this news, everyone at Schicksal really likes your games! When everyone doesn't know what to do during their rest time, they just hold a grudge and think about how to take revenge on the Honkai every day. I also feel helpless sometimes. If it weren't for your games, everyone might one day be blinded by hatred on the battlefield and die there."
Although Ragnar is trying hard to rush forward, it's just to rush ahead of her teammates and minimize the dangers her teammates may encounter.
But it's not good to keep doing this all the time!
Fortunately, things have also taken a turn for the better.
And all this is also because Archbishop Otto brought them games.
How to say it, apart from revenge, what the Valkyries admire most is Archbishop Otto, so the games recommended by Archbishop Otto, naturally everyone has tried them all.
From Undertale to Spiritfarer, to bringing pure joy to people like Kirby and The Legend of Zelda.
Ragnar really wants to see the game developer who pulled everyone out of the shadows.
But I didn't expect to meet the game developer and such a cute young child!
"Uh...my game is useful, as long as my game can bring happiness to everyone, let everyone feel the beauty of the world, then my goal is achieved, as long as you're happy."
"Then can you give me an autograph?"
Good gracious, you're the captain of the Valkyrie assault team, and you even carry a cassette box with you!
Then casually asked for a pen from her subordinates, and looked at Bronie to sign.
But Bronie didn't want to refuse either, after signing her name, she even drew two simple sketches.
"Thank you very much! I hope in the future you can make more interesting games! But now, we have arrived at Schicksal Headquarters, welcome to Schicksal."
As she spoke, the scenery outside the bridge suddenly changed, and Schicksal's Sky Island appeared as if the game had just loaded, apparently using some kind of special technology to shield the outside world.
The Sky Island is very large, Bronie feels a little out of place.
After all, to maintain such a Sky Island, it must require a lot of energy, but Otto would rather consume so much energy to make Schicksal Headquarters fly. What exactly is the reason?
Bronie feels that she has a lot of questions to ask next.

Bab 106: Chapter 106: Meeting with Dudu
"Welcome to Schicksal Headquarters. Should I address you as Miss Haxxor Bunny or Miss Bronie for better formality?"
Just as they disembarked from the floating battleship, Mr. Otto stood grandly on the landing pad, and indeed, Bronie felt the highest treatment that Schicksal had to offer.
Even though they were high above in the sky, there was no feeling of oxygen deprivation. The sunlight was bright, seemingly filtered to reduce the strong ultraviolet rays.
"It doesn't matter; you can call me Miss Haxxor Bunny or Miss Bronie. 'Haxxor Bunny' is just a code name, an alias, and an achievement."
"Alright, Miss Haxxor Bunny, have you ever seen such scenery in the Sea of Quanta?" Otto gestured as if showing off the toys he had built. Everywhere his gaze fell upon was filled with futuristic architecture.
Though Bronie understood Mr. Otto's desire to show off, she just shook her head.
"Most of the worlds in the Sea of Quanta bubbles are composed based on information from the real world. Some are based on information from past civilizations, while others are based on current world history. Merely existing is already a miracle, and such wasteful floating islands wouldn't exist. After all, the situation within each world bubble varies, but one thing is consistent—resources."
Resources?
Otto could imagine the bizarre worlds within the Sea of Quanta bubbles. It's like when a random but systematic world turns into a world haphazardly put together with materials due to a bug. Exploring such worlds would be quite challenging.
"Although there are indeed some Ether Anchors within the Sea of Quanta that can sustain the existence of world bubbles, they are not entirely beneficial. Some Ether Anchors are like cancers of the world, continuously causing disasters within different world bubbles. In terms of specific capabilities, they can be considered as fully realized Herrschers, similar to Sirin."
Bronie's description was relatively conservative. After all, she hadn't seen many actual Ether Anchors. The Ether Anchor in Cyber Arc City were quite docile, just creating a massive barrier to completely enclose everyone.
"Thank you for the information. Here is the Valkyries' rest area. The headquarters of Schicksal also includes areas for Valkyries' training and living. Although, as you said, the floating island seems to waste resources, this isolated environment allows Valkyries to immerse themselves in what they want to do. Additionally, Schicksal's policy regarding the Honkai is to conceal it from the public as much as possible."
This high-tech facility not only keeps Honkai-related matters away from public view but also serves another purpose: deterrence. Otto didn't mention this explicitly, but Bronie understood.
When Schicksal's Sky Island quietly descends above the territory of another country, it's enough to intimidate anyone.
"Alright, I understand." Bronie listened attentively, though the existence of living quarters within Schicksal Headquarters did come as a surprise.
"How many active Valkyries are there?" "Although this is classified information within Schicksal, I guess what you want to ask is how many B-rank or higher Valkyries Schicksal currently has on the frontlines against the Honkai. My answer would be less than two thousand."
Less than two thousand? B-rank or higher Valkyries are the ones who can directly participate in combat, while C-rank Valkyries are mostly in logistics. But this number does seem quite low.
"So, does Schicksal rely on S-rank Valkyries to deal with stronger Honkai beasts, or does it send A-rank Valkyries to charge at them at the risk of death?"
"Although that's indeed the case, Schicksal is already developing advanced equipment to use on the battlefield against the Honkai. You know, Honkai always comes with the development of civilization and technological advancements, becoming increasingly powerful. But if you have any better ideas, you can certainly discuss them with me. Schicksal is willing to cooperate with others to fight the Honkai."
So, biotechnology doesn't count as technology? Such words are just to deceive children and Valkyries. Bronie certainly wouldn't believe that.
"Perhaps. But if they ever learn the truth one day, I'm afraid the one who'll bear the brunt of their anger will be your granddaughter. I suggest Miss Theresa play more online games to build up her resilience."
"Hahaha, alright, let's try to avoid discussing such topics. It may damage our relationship. This is Rita, Rita Rossweisse. She will be assisting Bianca Atagi, who will participate in the exploration of the Sea of Quanta next. She will take care of your daily life here at Schicksal, and also be your student. If you have any needs, you can always talk to Rita."
Rita also stepped forward, dressed in maid attire, her long hair covering one of her eyes. But upon seeing Bronie's arrival, Rita gave a warm smile.
"It's been a while~"
Last time we met was at the Schicksal Entertainment annual meeting, where Miss Rita led me to find Otto.
At the time, Bronie was suspecting whether that guy was Rita, but there was still a big difference between reality and the two-dimensional world.
Now, she could still enjoy the high-quality service of a perfect maid, which should feel quite nice.
"Long time no see. I'm Bronie, or you can call me Haxxor Bunny. Rita, what rank of Valkyrie are you?"
"You might be disappointed. I'm just an ordinary A-rank Valkyrie, without much strong power."
Indeed, in the Honkai-ridden world where Herrschers were everywhere, although Rita could be considered an S-rank Valkyrie, fundamentally, she was just an ordinary person.
Not much strong power? Only when facing Herrschers.
When dealing with other enemies, Rita wouldn't hold back, and her combat power was quite terrifying.
"Come on, even A-rank Valkyries can take down Emperor-level Honkai beasts. Don't say you're weak or anything like that. And reaching this level of strength without undergoing artificial stigmata experiments, you deserve to be called a genius."
"Rita gladly accepts Teacher Haxxor Bunny's praise. From now on, Rita will take care of Teacher Haxxor Bunny's daily life, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If there's any inadequacy, please feel free to point it out."
"Teacher Haxxor Bunny?"
"Do you have any questions? Bishop said you would teach us about the precautions and survival skills for exploring the Sea of Quanta, so it's only appropriate to call you 'teacher.'"
"Not really, I just find it curious. After doing so much at the orphanage, I was never called a teacher. It feels a bit novel."
"It seems that the children at the orphanage are very close to you, so they don't use that term."
"Well, sometimes they just like to call me 'big sister,' making it seem like I'm some kind of gang leader, even though I'm usually very peaceful."
Watching Haxxor Bunny's distressed expression, Rita chuckled lightly twice.
"So, are there many dangers in the Sea of Quanta?"
As Rita led her through Schicksal Headquarters, they soon arrived at a new floating island. With so many green plants, Bronie thought it looked like an airborne garden. In the center of the island was a huge villa, and such treatment indeed made Bronie feel a little stunned.
Well, Valkyries deserved it!
Valkyries charge into battle, fighting on the front lines. If even their treatment couldn't keep up, could Schicksal remain stable?
However, Bronie couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. To create a separate floating island as a living area, perhaps only that guy Otto could do such a thing.
This was a waste of money. It would be better to build more mechs to fight against the Honkai.
Perhaps there was a consideration that Valkyries hoped for a Herrscher on the human side to appear among them.
Who knows?
Entering the villa, dull thuds echoed from deep within. If one listened carefully, it sounded like someone hitting a punching bag?
"How dangerous can the Sea of Quanta be? From small insects that can be crushed with one hand to beings capable of destroying a planet individually, anything can appear inside. If you're unlucky enough to end up in a world bubble left behind by a previous civilization, you might even have to face a Herrscher."
"Have you experienced all of these?"
Rita was curious. According to what Bronie said, she had seen all of these things. It was because she knew about this that Otto began to take this matter seriously after she mentioned it to him.
"Only a small part. As for the civilizations before, I haven't encountered them much, but I have encountered individual beings capable of destroying planets. At that time, I didn't intend to confront them head-on, and fortunately, I wasn't noticed by them either."
As Bronie spoke, she projected the image of the Doomsday Beast. Although it was fake and looked so small, its battered body and the strange energy swirling around it seemed to indicate the extraordinary identity of this creature.
At the same time, Bronie also created a miniature figure of Rita as a reference for size comparison.
Looking at her own figure appearing so tiny in front of the Doomsday Beast, Rita probably understood the danger of the Sea of Quanta.
Could she defeat such a creature?
Rita felt that she couldn't even defeat Judgment-class Honkai beasts, let alone such giant dragons.
Although Rita never doubted Otto's decisions, this time she felt she was too careless.
"All right, Rita understands Teacher Haxxor Bunny's meaning. Rita will be very careful during the exploration of the Sea of Quanta."
"That thing is quite rare. After encountering it once, it's quite difficult to see it again, so don't worry about encountering such a thing. If I ever encounter it again in the future, I will definitely cut off its head and use it as decoration at home."
As she spoke, the sound of punching the punching bag grew louder.
Rita walked ahead and opened the door to the gym.
"Miss Bianka, Teacher Haxxor Bunny has arrived."
The girl wore a sports vest and was freely sweating as she attacked the punching bag.
After Rita's voice came, the girl named Bianka threw out a final punch, and the heavy punching bag suddenly flew up and smashed into the ceiling.
"You're the Sea of Quanta exploration mentor Otto Bishop invited for us? Why do you look so... young?"
Damn it!
She started by saying she was young. Did she really speak without thinking?!
"I'm young because I'm a genius who easily does things that others can't do. Making games, exploring the world, these things are not difficult for me at all."
Bronie believed her physical growth had been quite smooth. During this time working, she had already changed sizes for her underwear multiple times.
She often changed clothes, and the smaller ones were actually collected by Bronia. Occasionally, she could still see Bronia wearing her old clothes.
At that time, Bronie complained. Clearly, she wasn't short of money to buy new clothes, but Bronia said she had sensitive skin and found the worn clothes more comfortable.
Would Bronie believe such nonsense?
No, Bronie just felt that Bronia was developing towards a more dangerous direction, perhaps Cocolia did have some skills in educating her daughter?
"So, you're very powerful?"
Who knows what's going on in Bianka's head, suddenly asking if she's powerful or not.
But Bronie still stood tall and replied, "Of course, I'm very powerful! Without any ability, how could I explore the Sea of Quanta?"
"That's great! The Memorial Arena of Schicksal puts a heavy burden on the body. I've been unable to find many opponents, and Teacher Ragnar's body is no longer suitable for combat, so I hope to see your combat power!"
Compared to the stable Dumb Goose Bronie remembered, the girl in front of her seemed to be more lively. She immediately proposed a duel, and after thinking carefully, how many combatants could Dumb Goose have now?
"Miss Rita, Teacher Haxxor Bunny is still..."
"It's fine. My fighting style isn't about blood and sweat, and my weapons can be set to stun mode, so there won't be much damage."
"Great! Then follow me! But Teacher Haxxor Bunny... 'Haxxor Bunny' sounds really strange."
Bianka muttered to herself, and it happened to be heard by Bronie.
"Don't underestimate rabbits. Can you endure the humiliation of being knocked down by a rabbit? 'Haxxor Bunny' is just a code name. My real name is Bronie."
"I see! Aren't rabbits supposed to be cute with long ears?"
"Don't worry too much about code names. It seems that this simple training will only serve as a warm-up for you. Are you ready? Prepare yourself for the punishment from Haxxor Bunny."
Walking to the training ground, it was spacious all around, and Bronie could feel the sturdiness of the ground beneath her feet.
No need to worry about breaking the training ground or anything.
"Come on! Let me see how much power someone who can travel to different worlds really has!"
As she spoke, Bianka took out her pistols and loaded training bullets into them. While the attacks wouldn't cause fatal injuries, getting hit by them would still be very painful.
Then Bianka froze in place.
"Th-this is cheating! What is this!?"
Appearing in front of Bianka was a swarm of drones, like stirring up a hornet's nest, covering the sky and the earth.
Each one had a different shape, but the trajectory of each drone seemed so orderly.
But the more important point was that these drones seemed to appear out of thin air, and there were more and more of them.
"If everything in the world has its program, then I am the programmer using the programming language. Appreciate it well, this is magic from the world."
