章 71: Chapter 71: Little Kiana's Coquettishness

Every day, Kiana behaved well. During the day, she attended classes and communicated with Sister Elysia and Sister Mobius online. In the evening, after dinner, she would exercise Kaslana's gunplay with her father. After getting tired, she would take a bath and play games with her father.

Kirby was very interesting, and when playing with her father, he would always tease her and increase the difficulty of passing levels. But she didn't give up either. In the latter part of the game, she successfully retaliated, bringing a smile to her dad's face.

The game was fun, and her daily life was fulfilling. However, Honkai outbreaks had been occurring more frequently in the past four weeks. Even people in the town were getting injured.

As a result, her dad started going out frequently, leaving early and returning late, leaving only her at home.

Fortunately, Sister Natasha was still there, but there was almost no news from Sister Bronie.

Although there were online videos sometimes, they lacked that special touch.

It had been a long time since she hugged Bronie, and Kiana felt like she almost forgot the smell of Sister Bronie.

During break time, Kiana, alone and bored, turned on the computer to see if there were other games to play online.

Apart from Sister Bronie's games, the Homu series of games were also interesting.

However, if she wanted to buy games online, she still needed Siegfried's permission. Therefore, most of what Kiana stored on her computer were leftovers. Fortunately, these leftovers were enough for Kiana to play for a while.

"When will Sister Bronie come back to see me... I wonder what the orphanage is like, and what kind of children are there..."

Just as Kiana was lost in thought, the doorbell at home suddenly rang.

"Sister Bronie!"

Seeing the familiar figure, although the hairstyle seemed to have changed a bit, Kiana immediately recognized the girl at the door.

Happy, Kiana hugged Bronie, startling her.

"Kiana, long time no see. By the way, where's Siegfried? Did he go to work during the day?"

"Um... Dad went to work. His job is to protect everyone!"

Kiana had many interesting things she wanted to share with Bronie, and many questions she wanted to ask Bronie.

However, now Kiana was so happy that she forgot all about it and quickly pulled Bronie into her room.

"Sorry, a friend entrusted me with an orphanage, and I can't just ignore those kids, right? I heard they've been through a lot of disasters when they were young, just like when I first met you."

Kiana still remembered the time when she first met Bronie.

It was snowy, and she was hungry, her head was pounding, but the delicious barbecue made her forget all the unpleasantness.

But were other kids also suffering like that?

"Um... Kiana can understand... it's just that sister Bronie has been away for a long time, not seeing your lovely face makes me feel very lonely!"

Gee, who taught you that? Elysia?

"You cute little thing! If you get any cuter, you'll be eaten by the scary Haxxor Bunny! I'm also thinking of you, so I came to see you. The situation at the orphanage is almost under control, and the work at hand is almost done, so I came over. Look, what else did I bring?"

"This is..."

Kiana saw that Bronie actually brought something that looked like a rice cooker. She couldn't tell what it was.

Bronie also suddenly remembered that Kiana liked to eat fried chicken and cola, but the town was quite remote, and the fried chicken brought back would get cold, and reheating it would change its taste.

But there was no air fryer on the market yet, and buying cooking oil felt a bit expensive.

So Bronie projected an air fryer.

"Air fryer, commonly known as a home appliance that can make chicken wings without oil. It mainly consists of a heating tube and a fan, circulating hot air in a sealed environment to achieve a similar effect to frying, and of course, it can also replace some of the functions of an oven."

Saying that, Bronie brought out another bag, containing raw chicken legs and various ingredients.

"Wow~"

"Are you ready to study? Do you want to make some fried chicken legs to surprise Siegfried?"

"Yeah!!"

Making fried chicken legs was quite simple, but the actual effect of the air fryer was a bit disappointing. It was a bit inferior to fried ones in terms of quality taste. But in terms of normal taste, it was still impeccable.

"Besides fried chicken, I've also released a new game recently, which you'll definitely like!"

"Super Mario Oddysey... is this for the kids at the orphanage?"

"No, it's for all kids, including you."

With that, Bronie took out the meticulously packaged Mario.

"Let's play together!"

Super Mario is now available online.

Although the graphics look a bit childish, there's also Kirby as a precedent.

With the same high-quality music, cheerful atmosphere, and excellent level design, every corner seems to showcase Bronie's talent in level design.

This game is very fun for both kids and adults, just like Kirby, it's perfect for relaxing after a tiring day.

The game leaves a deep impression, bringing pure joy, which cannot be obtained by watching videos.

After the second gift was sent out, Bronie released a brand new teaser.

A teaser called "Titanfall".

Because Tesla was robbed, and after all, Tesla is like her foster mother, right? So Welt is also particularly concerned about Bronie online.

Mario and Kirby are similar types of games, with simple plots, but the gameplay blows away many game developers.

Even Anti-entropy admits defeat.

And now, Bronie seems to have responded to the game he wanted to make with a vote.

However, this response came in the form of a trailer.

Welt opened the video.

The title "Titanfall" made Welt pull a subway old man expression.

Titan?

Why does it sound like the combat weapon used by Anti-entropy to deal with the Honkai?

In the background of the sunset, two figures, one big and one small, slowly approached the audience.

A Western cowboy-style soundtrack made Welt feel very familiar.

Although Welt's father is Finnish and his mother has German and Chinese descent, he grew up in Anti-entropy and mainly lives in the United States.

And the Western cowboy-style movies are naturally American specialties, all of which carry a bit of the taste of home.

A huge robot and a soldier advanced side by side in the desert, the soldier had a gun on his chest, holding a helmet in his right hand, and spinning a knife in his left hand, as if leisurely returning after a battle.

Then the soldier fell into memories.

In a huge forest, a helmeted soldier looked like a god of war, working with the giant robot beside him to eliminate one opponent after another.

It seems that the two of them were fighting alone.

Time switched to night, and the huge robot accompanied the soldier, warming him by the fire from the robot's flame device.

But next, more and more enemy robots of similar models caught up.

The robot next to the protagonist was getting more and more damaged, but the protagonist still showed no sign of giving up and continued to fight.

After landing on the robot, the soldier quickly eliminated the enemy robots, dropped a gas canister, and quietly waited for the remaining enemies to arrive.

As the music reached its climax, more and more robots surrounded them, but the protagonist remained calm and lit the last gas canister.

Instantly, flames covered the entire forest, burning all the enemies to ashes, leaving only the protagonist and his partner robot.

Behind them was a burning forest and a huge planet in the sky.

It seemed like something was said, but the entire trailer didn't have a single line.

But the elements displayed deeply attracted Welt's attention.

War, giant robots, being able to fight on the robots, and the multiplayer confrontation mode in the voting!

The Western-style trailer deeply imprinted on Welt's heart. At this moment, Welt remembered that Bronie had made Elden Ring, and the big scenes were definitely easy for her.

But he didn't expect it to be this type of work.

Watching it, Welt was so excited, as if he had become the protagonist in the trailer, traversing the battlefield with the robot companion, like a lone wolf.

"Huh? Another new trailer? Is it a real demo this time? Can the Haxxor Bunny really be this productive in making games?"

Welt didn't expect that the new trailer hadn't been released for long, but the second trailer came out directly.

But the name was no longer "Titanfall", but "Apex Legends".

Roughly translated, it means the Top Legend.

After the war, a capital-controlled bloody event began.

The trailer also introduced gameplay, game modes, and demonstrations of various firearms and skills.

The style was a bit different, but the Haxxor Bunny said that this game has the same background as "Titanfall", and most importantly, it's free!

Free also means that this game is an online game, just like the popular shooting games recently, with options for in-game purchases.

The internet immediately started discussing which game was more interesting and whether to buy "Titanfall" next.

And Welt's answer was natural.

No man can resist the temptation of giant robots!

No one!

Seeing "Titanfall", Welt became more convinced that the Haxxor Bunny and himself are very similar. If they were to meet, they would definitely have countless topics to chat about for three days and three nights.

Whether it's from creation, robots, music, or history.

Yeah, how could you possibly make a game like Civilization if you don't like history?

If you don't like music, how could you make countless classic game soundtracks?

From classical to electronic, everything is available.

Realizing this, Welt couldn't help but itch.

When the heart moves, actions must follow.

Welt looked at his phone, full of messages, and finally started to reply to Tesla.

"Sorry, I'm doing something very important right now and can't contact you temporarily. This matter is very important in fighting the Honkai, and I hope you understand. However, before the final contact is cut off, I hope to find a chance to meet Haxxor Bunny through Anti-entropy's channels. I want to confirm something very important."

"Stupid Welt! If you're going to cut off contact, at least tell everyone about it in advance! But forget it, since it's about fighting the Honkai, I'll forgive you. But you better make it clear whether you're looking for the mercenary Haxxor Bunny or the game producer Haxxor Bunny. I don't have any way to help with the mercenary side, that Haxxor Bunny doesn't take commissions."

"It's the game producer Haxxor Bunny. There are some things I want to confirm with her. I've seen a lot of things from her."

"That guy made "Titanfall", which feels pretty interesting... Is this also related to fighting the Honkai?"

"Don't you think her description of Kaslana in Civilization seems to be deliberately vague? It's obviously full of implications."

"Ah?"

Obviously, Tesla didn't have the leisure to read descriptions. The game is good, and playing it makes time disappear quietly.

But the dense text is daunting, and only Welt, the history enthusiast, would carefully read it.

"Collaboration with Schicksal Entertainment, but it's just surface collaboration, so I think the other party is very likely to be a genius who knows about the Honkai and is secretly fighting against them."

"Well, I guess I understand what you mean. Indeed, Anti-entropy often accepts such talents, and Schicksal occasionally encounters them too."

But it's actually quite difficult to subdue such talents, after all, geniuses also have their pride.

"That's why I'm curious."

With that said, Welt didn't plan to contact anymore.

Although communication within Anti-entropy is indeed very advanced, it's also not guaranteed that Otto doesn't have a way to eavesdrop.

Minimize contact as much as possible, this choice is indeed correct, after all, Otto is very interested in St. Freya Academy.

After spending a pleasant day with Bronie accompanying Kiana, a cooperation invitation from Homu Entertainment came through on the phone.

It's about representing America and an invitation to meet the producer of Arahato.

...

Arahato?

"Sister Bronie, do you have a new job again?"

"Yeah, the producer of Arahato wants to meet me, and there are many collaborative projects. As the company grows bigger, management is starting to get troublesome."

Bronie sighed like this, Kiana didn't quite understand, but she grabbed Bronie's clothes and said, "Then stay tonight and sleep with me, accompany me more, Sister Bronie~"

Darn it! Is this also a trick taught by Elysia?

She can't refuse at all!

"Okay, Kiana, as long as Siegfried doesn't mind, then it's no problem."
