章節 121: Chapter 121: Duck Duck Goes to School

Sorry for the inconsistent updates right now, too many things happened this week.

----

The gun was entrusted to Mr. Su and sent to the Elysian Realm.

The arrival of the Aeon, to some extent, also disrupted Otto's plans for the Elysian Realm.

It can only be said that Bronie was indeed capable, huh?

She effortlessly attracted the attention of an Aeon, but Elysia also remarked that Bronie deserved the praise because attracting the Aeon was truly her skill.

In front of Elysia, being praised so much made Bronie feel a bit embarrassed.

Actually, Bronie felt that the gun given by Aha was an extremely rare treasure, and it must have some unknown function.

But it's best to give this thing to scientists for research first, and it's best not to conduct destructive experiments, because doing so might be a little disrespectful to the Aeon.

After sending the gun away, Cioara bid farewell to Bronie directly.

There was no way. When Raven saw Mr. Su disguised as a delivery man, Raven had a look of disbelief on her face. She muttered that this orphanage was probably discovered, and ran to the World Serpent's interior to observe what tricks Jackal wanted to play recently.

As for the World Serpent, since Jackal ran around like a frightened bird all over the world, research on Project Stigma was completely shelved.

Although Jackal felt that with her ability, as long as there were enough resources, the essence of Project Stigma could be easily studied.

When she started to collect experimental materials, she would find a Zombie's head on her bedside?

The first time was the head, then the hand, what would be next time?

When the whole Zombie was put together, would she be bitten by the Zombie in her sleep?

Jackal felt very depressed and couldn't figure out which god she had offended. If it weren't for the urgent reminder from the Gray Serpent, she wouldn't have given up on researching the improvement of the Stigmata.

What to do now?

Isn't it just researching how to ensure that after Project Stigma is launched, she won't be included in the dream?

And Cioara could be a great help, so Jackal continued to run around the world recklessly!

Cioara left, and Bronie naturally stayed in the orphanage, living an ordinary life day by day.

Evil Within production had begun, and the fighting game itself was too niche. Although there were more players compared to other fighting games, overall, there were really not many players.

Compared to Apex and other online games, it is indeed shocking that there are fewer players playing that game.

So, new statements appeared on the internet again.

Haxxor Bunny falls from grace again.

"To be honest, I'm already used to it. Falling from grace, then being idolized again falls on my ass. Do they have no new ideas every day on the internet?"

"Bronya might consider learning some hacking skills so that she can shut them up forever."

"Forget it, it's just a group of mediocre people. If things don't go well in real life, it's easier to spread their grievances on the internet. To be honest, I haven't made a masterpiece for a while, and it's time to practice again."

Saying that, Bronie projected a huge piano, which was still a little distance from the ground, so it fell abruptly under the force of gravity making a loud noise.

"Um... Sister Bronie? What does the piano have to do with the game?"

"Of course, it's the background music. You know, the protagonist has a safe house in other people's consciousness. After experiencing various terrifying scenes, shouldn't there be something to relax the player' mood?"

Fingers lightly touched the keys, and pleasant notes burst forth.

It was time to test the instrument skills she learned from Miss Eden.

"Moonlight Sonata by Debussy, I think it's the most suitable background music. Classical music has long passed the copyright issue, and classic music always needs someone to remember it. Games are also a very good carrier."

"Classical... music? Sister Bronie, is there anything you don't know?"

"Just dabbling, just dabbling, don't worry about me."

With that, Bronie raised a finger and put it on Bronya's lips.

"Listen carefully."

Fingertips began to stroke the keys, and the music slowly came forth.

Bronya silently took out her phone and started recording.

Next to the piano, there were even more top-notch recording equipment. In the future safe house in Evil Within, this music would be needed.

The music was not long, only four minutes in total. If it were to be used in the game, some modifications would be needed to make it a short loop, so that players would not feel out of place.

"Amazing~ Sister Bronie, how long did it take you to learn to play the piano?"

"It took several years, right? Let me think, after leaving the Taixu gang, I lived for about six or seven years. The technical skills for coding were learned during that time. Later, in order to earn more money, I learned some music theory from Sister Theresa, wrote songs for idols to make money, and then it was Miss Eden. The teaching she gave me was actually the most complete. The rest of the time, I just groped around casually."

"Groped around and came up with the soundtrack for Spiritfarer, and Undertale soundtrack?"

Bronya felt that her sister was indeed going farther and farther away from the path of normality.

The more she learned, the more she could feel Bronie's talent, and recently she always saw her sister looking at some strange books, all of which she couldn't understand.

From biology to physics, and then to biochemistry.

Everything was there.

Watching Bronie flipping through books as casually as a breeze, Bronya couldn't help but wonder if Bronie was really just flipping through them randomly, or if she had some kind of ability to completely memorize the knowledge in books with just a glance.

However, merely remembering and understanding were two different things. If one only remembered things, how could they possibly apply them?

"Ahem, it's all about experience. After all, I'm a bit older than you in any case, and I've experienced more things than you. You know, with so many worlds in the Sea of Quanta, there are bound to be many things that can be used as references."

"So this time's Evil Withins is actually a reference to some world?"

"It's the Elysian Realm."

Bronie's answer directly shocked Bronya.

Although she had a premonition, it seemed like there was indeed a sense of dejavu, but she didn't expect Bronie to admit it so quickly!

"You know, connecting everyone's minds together can lead to some dangerous situations. The Elysian Realm is fine, after all, it's just some data. But once real brains have problems, to be honest, I can't guarantee what will happen."

People always have some stray thoughts, such as malicious thoughts or other dark emotions. These things mix together and eventually influence each other. Perhaps they could really affect others' actions.

What if a mentally ill person entered a normal group's brain mix-ups?

Bronya apparently discovered Bronie's thoughts and nodded.

"If mentally ill people are connected in, it's possible that mental illness can also spread. Indeed, such things should require data as a filter to reduce direct mutual influence between brains."

Well, it seems Bronya understands these things quite well.

As Bronya said, Mobius had also considered these things. The interaction between different brainwaves requires data and something like network protocols to connect with each other.

But the Elysian Realm was special in that it was a world jointly established by the memories and cognition of the Thirteen Flamechasers, with the influence of Aponia's Discipline inside, which allowed it to operate stably for fifty thousand years.

"Not bad. Bronya, do you want to develop in this direction? Like in the field of life? Consciousness? Or networking?"

"Actually, Bronya hopes to develop in the field of networking. Of course, Bronya has been already self-taught some content, but Bronya suddenly found a mercenary named Haxxor Bunny on a list called the Charon List, is that you?"

"Tsk, Tesla, that woman holds a grudge. I only took a little gold from her! And it wasn't even hers originally!"

Bronie instantly understood what Bronya was talking about, and Bronya felt like she heard some incredible news.

Tesla. Bronya knew about her. It was said that due to the influence of the Black Abyss White Flower, she obtained the body bearing immortality and has been living until now.

Executor, and also the current scientist, designer of the Titans of Anti-Entropy.

It's said that she has a bad temper, but Bronya didn't expect Bronie to have such a deep entanglement with her.

This is still in the mercenary world right?

"So, Sister Bronie, your hacking skills must be very powerful, right?"

"I can only teach you some basics. The part about altering reality is my own ability, and it's been developed through many haphazard experiments. Sorry, but I can't teach you that move."

"So, Sis Bronie, you're like a Herrscher?"

"Um... it's quite similar to being a Herrscher."

Bronie nodded.

If the Honkai side had Herrschers, then the Quantum side might also have Herrschers.

This was Vill-V's judgment, but so far, many things had not been fully confirmed, only hypotheses based on the current information.

"Wow, it turns out Bronie is really different!"

Bronya didn't seem jealous.

Stepping away from the piano, Bronie casually dispersed it, then projected a violin.

"Yes, I am indeed special, but you need to know one thing: individuals named Bronya in the universe are also special, no matter which Bronya."

Bronie slowly pulled the strings of the violin, and the slow melody of Debussy's Clair de Lune flowed out.

This was another soundtrack for Evil Within, which Bronie was recording here.

As the music ended, Bronya asked the question on her mind.

"So, Bronie, in other worlds, have you also met other Bronyas?"

"Of course not. You are the first Bronya I've encountered, but I have observed other Bronyas in the universe. This is beyond doubt. And?"

As Bronie spoke, she flicked her long silver hair behind her, and the pale blue at the tips danced, resembling waves by the seaside.

"The futures that different Bronyas possess may not necessarily have to maintain the name Bronya, right?"

"Are you saying?"

Bronya's eyes widened, but Bronie stopped her from continuing.

"Elysia said I am a miracle of the Sea of Quanta, a treasure of the world, her lucky star. But you also have your own uniqueness. The seed needs time to sprout, and I always believe in the potential hidden within you."

So is this the reason why she was picked up all those years ago?

Not just because she looked so much like her sister.

"But come to think of it, I think the efficiency of making games is still too low. I feel like I might need strong artificial intelligence that can easily build games according to my needs."

Saying this, Bronie casually tossed the violin aside, and it dissipated like fireflies in the night.

"Why pursue high efficiency? Making a game after all requires careful polishing."

"That's because the methods of making games are too outdated and can't keep up with my thoughts. And there's another more important thing: the Aeon."

"The Aeon... The Elation. Would it like games?"

"Of course, as long as it's interesting, they won't miss it. Even if they encounter a bad things, they can find humor in them. But whether they will retaliate afterward and find something 'fun' in us, I don't know. So I think offering games to the Aeon as tributes aren't wrong, but you know, I have books to read, things to research, and the Honkai hasn't been resolved yet. A person's energy is always limited, so it's time to find some other methods."

Actually, The Elation is quite easy to get along with. If you give them fun, they'll be happy and harmless to you.

If you give them trouble, they'll fnd fun in it and then turn you into their fun.

"So Sister Bronie, can Bronya also participate in the development of strong artificial intelligence and learn a bit of hacking on the side? Bronya won't cause trouble. If Bronie needs money, um... Bronya can also provide some."

After making a fortune with her first venture, Bronya had also managed to make quite a bit of money through various means.

Now, Bronya could be considered a small rich woman.

"Don't think of me so poorly. Am I that kind of person in your eyes! Alright, alright, don't sneak into Seele's room to play tonight. Give Sirin more space to play games. Tonight, I'll come and properly guide you in hacking knowledge. These things are not to be spread around!"

"Okay! Bronya will study hard and quickly demonstrate the power of miracles!"
