In the Night City, there are no living legends.
This is a classic line lamented by Rogie in the game.
When she uttered those words, it always gave the impression of someone having experienced too much.
But to be honest, as the Queen of Intermediaries, despite her skillful methods and abundant resources, Rogie knew in her heart that she was nothing more than a pawn caught between the major corporations.
Living in the Night City, no matter how much money or ability you have, compared to the corporations, you always feel like a dog, and only a heroic death can be called a legend.
Everyone is filled with dissatisfaction towards the corporations, but it's difficult for anyone to make a decent resistance.
Countless people have died on the path of rebellion, some are remembered as legends, while others die in obscurity.
Although the anime doesn't explicitly state it, the Intermediary, initially high and mighty, eventually ends up like a lapdog when facing the corporations, while the high-ranking executives of the corporations, out of fear of bearing responsibility, send their subordinates to face everything.
The whole society is so twisted, yet so reasonable.
Capital is like a wild beast, constantly devouring human hearts, twisting this world bit by bit into something unrecognizable.
But even in such a dark world, the brilliance of humanity shines strong and resilient.
The cybernetic implants eroded David's sanity, but his love for Lucy surpassed death, and Lucy's kiss transcended even the highest-grade suppressants.
Although he was ultimately destroyed by Adam Smasher, defeated by the cruel reality, the spectacular manner of his death indeed made David live on as a legend!
Welt knew that all of this was fake, but the story inside was so real, so touching.
Maine died at the hands of the Max-Tac, former comrades died from cyber psychosis, Rebecca died under Adam's crushing blow, and Kiwi disappeared after betrayal by the Intermediary, their lives dissipated like snowflakes.
As the bartender lady in the bar said, only those who die more spectacularly, more heroically, can become legends.
For Welt, the deaths of those characters in the anime were too abrupt, as if they were new friends he had just met and suddenly disappeared.
But precisely because of this, precisely because of the fragility of life, Welt felt even more heartache.
Yes, in such a terrible world, a brief life is to be expected, and Welt deeply felt the weight of life.
Every character in the entire anime was crafted very successfully, and when he realized it, it was already the latter half of the night.
After a brief nap, Welt immediately sent the anime to Tesla, and then let them handle the issue of putting the anime online.
There are many contents unsuitable for children, so for the sake of public order on the internet, Bronie did not upload it directly.
Welt thought Bronie did a great job in this regard, showcasing all the explicit desires to everyone.
Vulgarity is the norm in the Night City, which highlights the numbness of the common people and the extent of capital's control over the world.
Bronie, how come she's so young but so knowledgeable?
Welt couldn't be bothered to think about it.
After receiving the anime Welt sent, Entropy immediately began the review process. It wasn't until a month later that the anime was officially released online.
In fact, this was considered a green channel.
If it had gone through normal review procedures, it would have taken at least half a year.
There are inevitably some sensitive contents, but even scenes of violence, under Haxxor Bunny's unique artistic style, do not evoke any sense of disgust but rather a sense of alternative beauty.
Details, performances, music... Bronie pondered for a long time, just to showcase everything she had seen and thought of.
It's like having a legendary story of Sun Wukong in one's hometown. After leaving the hometown, one wants to share it well, so that the legendary story can continue to spread, until eternity.
In Night City, there are no living legends. A shot glass of whisky, mixed with a little cola, this is the drink left by David Martinez at the Afterlife Bar. Let's celebrate him, great in life, glorious in death!
Bronie has been inactive for a long time, basically not posting any updates except for new games, but now there's movement again.
[Damn, is this a preview for the new game? Did you make an anime as a trailer?]
[Tell me, is the entire credits list filled with just Haxxor Bunny? Are you serious?]
[Keeping new technology to yourself, huh! Making games, making anime, and making music, what kind of black technology is this!]
[Wow, there's even a rating system. Is Haxxor Bunny finally venturing into new territory?]
[Charge! Charge fiercely for me!]
The anime has just been released, and everyone still needs time to watch it.
So at first, everyone's comments were still about Bronie and game-related issues.
No one knew what the game was about, but then some employees from Haxxor Bunny Studio started speaking up, saying that this time Haxxor Bunny was going to make an unprecedented masterpiece, and there might even be Easter eggs in the animation.
If found, it would provide early access to game-related content.
Now, there was no choice but to play.
Most players had already been deeply impressed by Outer Wilds, and the aftermath had not yet completely subsided when Bronie started making a new game again!
What was this?
Even the production team's donkey wasn't as diligent as Bronie. It was like they were in a hurry to settle their affairs.
Some players were afraid that one day there would be news of Haxxor Bunny's sudden death, but Haxxor Bunny had grown up with everyone. There was nothing wrong with the photos Bronie posted.
There wasn't even the kind of professional coder's occupational disease, and it even gave the vague feeling that she was getting more attractive as she grew older.
Of course, the photos Bronie posted on the internet were purely for promotional purposes for Haxxor Bunny Studio because they found that no matter what game poster they posted, adding a picture of Haxxor Bunny would attract attention faster.
Bronie didn't think there was anything wrong with posting a photo, so she agreed to it.
It's just that time passes, and the photos accumulated over time indeed gave a feeling of a girl next door growing up.
But they definitely didn't know about Bronie's extraordinary ability.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunner aired ten episodes in one go, all content was free, and revenue relied entirely on traffic.
But would Haxxor Bunny be lacking in traffic?
No, just Haxxor Bunny's golden signboard was enough to support tens of millions of views. Moreover, the cyberpunk theme was still quite novel for the current world.
It's the cyberpunk background, which actually seems quite relevant to the current era of technology.
Some of the technology in cyberpunk, Schicksal can already achieve, and the neon-lit cities in cyberpunk actually have this trend in major cities worldwide.
Whether it's Nagazora City or Canghai City, they have gradually adopted this framework.
So the cyberpunk background inexplicably feels a bit close to reality!
Fortunately, there are no omnipotent companies here, some seem to only have Schicksal and Entropy, who are everywhere like The World Serpent lurking around the world.
Otto, at the headquarters of Schicksal, finished a day's work and was about to relax by playing a game of Civilization when Haxxor Bunny's social account posted something.
It was a promotional video for a game called Cyberpunk 2077!
This time the format of the promotional video was different from before. This time, Bronie actually used direct animation production, an extraneous anime with almost no relation to the game's plot!
Could he miss this?
Of course, Otto had no intention of missing it, and the duration of this anime wasn't even as long as a game of Civilization.
It was worth spending some time on.
As a result, after more than three hours, Otto was completely immersed in an emo state.
The theme of the anime mainly revolved around love, death, and romance.
The love that ran in both directions but was also disoriented reminded Otto of many awful things from five hundred years ago.
Although there were differences, it might not be considered love running in both directions, but many parts touched on Otto's personal pain points.
There was a kind of beauty in having one's scars exposed.
And death, Pilar's death made life seem as light as a feather, while Maine's death bestowed David with a burden heavier than Mount Tai.
Overall, this wave once again hit Otto hard.
The overall pace of the anime was very fast, and even Otto could feel that Bronie deliberately compressed the entire script during production.
But the detailed portrayal, as well as the portrayal of actions and expressions that should not be overlooked, made everything not so abrupt, as if this world should be like this.
Opening the comments section, the first comment that caught Otto's eye was this:
"Love is the best medicine!"
In an instant, Otto also felt a resonance.
This coincided with his Herrscher plan.
But then Otto was shocked out of his nonexistent cold sweat, feeling as if his steel soul's body had wet the back.
Was all this just a coincidence?
No, many stories are common, and Otto could understand that. Perhaps it was just a coincidence.
This also shows that Bronie believes in the power of 'love'. This 'love' can create miracles and transcend common sense.
Hehehe, it's precisely because of the similarities that we can't stand each other.
Yes, Otto knew that Haxxor Bunny hated him, but did Otto not also hate Haxxor Bunny?
Perhaps there was jealousy in this, Otto envied Bronie's ability to protect those around her before she lost them, without the need to desperately try to recover the past at all costs.
Her ability to modify reality could have been developed very early on to protect the people she loved.
And he only had regrets and missed opportunities.
Finally, he turned into madness suppressed by reason, like a beast.
Haxxor Bunny believes in love, protects love, and enjoys love.
While he believes in love, he can only relish the pain of losing love and enjoy the emptiness of losing his beloved.
Well, forget it, instead of raging impotently here, it's better to figure out how to pull Kallen back from that void. Life is just the complaint of the weak.
Otto believed that one day he would still be able to obtain what he wanted, it was just that he had taken a slight detour.
"The anime is very good, the music is also very good, the details are very delicate, it's just that the plot could be polished more carefully, maybe the work could really become another exquisite piece of art... but forget it, if you're bored, Amber, you can also try to watch it. I'll rest for a while and then go to the laboratory."
Otto took the initiative to go to the laboratory. This shouldn't be considered rare, but for Amber, it was like the sun rising from the west!
This anime... Bishop's praise was full, but it made Bishop lose interest in the game!
Now, she really had to watch it. Amber wanted to know what it was that could make Bishop work so seriously.
...
"Sister Bronie, can I..."
"Rosalia, haven't I told you? You're not old enough."
"Damn it! Obviously Seele has also watched it!"
"Don't say that I favor Seele. Although Seele has watched it, she is definitely not the Seele you know!"
Although White Seele also knew the general plot, every time she talked about the content, she blushed.
After all, she was a pure little flower.
As for Black Seele?
Black Seele was stubborn and said it was just average, and even said that the love running in both directions was simply stupid.
If it were her, she would do this and that.
Bronie looked at Black Seele with a smile, and Black Seele was directly embarrassed and retracted into Seele's body, letting White Seele come out to take over.
And White Seele was also cut by the anime once, sticking to Bronya at night wanting her to accompany her to sleep.
Ah, damn this anime, it's really great!
Bronya was so grateful to Sister Bronie, after Kiana left, all the flower girls in the orphanage were all Bronya'!
"But if you really want to watch it, it's not impossible, but the problem of exams..."
"I will definitely pass! Vodka girls never fail!"
"No, I want you to score seventy-five or higher."
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Rosalia and Lilia were shaken.
Lilia was still okay, her exam scores barely kept up, but Rosalia's situation worried Bronie.
This most lively, most fond of everyone, and also the most fond of playing child, even if she didn't inject the super variable factor of Apsi, but in the future, if she accidentally hurt her family because of her playful antics in the face of Honkai?
In countless parallel universes, Spider-Man has lost his uncle, and Bronie also doesn't want Rosalia to only understand growth and cherish everything around her when she loses Lilia.
But it's okay, Bronie is still willing to protect Rosalia.
Rosalia's happy-go-lucky nature is fine, it's just that Bronie worries that this idiot might be guided into some less good actions by some behaviors in the anime.
Like Lucy smoking.
Finally, Rosalia looked at her sister Lilia.
"Lilia, it seems that in order to enjoy the blockbuster, we must make necessary sacrifices!"
"Idiot Rosalia, not 'we', but you."
"No! Lilia, for the sake of your sister, use the time for rest to make up for my lessons! Please, Lilia!"
