Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Arrange Kiana Clearly
"After returning from vacation, I accidentally got injured, so I'm just playing a little game to get back into the groove."
A week later, Bronie felt that her body was almost back to normal, so she immediately posted a new message online.
Bronie, who usually churned out games like a production line, had gone silent for two months straight, nearly causing countless fans to panic and start searching for her.
There were even rumors that Bronie had died, and there would never be another DLC for Elden Ring or a sequel to The Legend of Zelda.
But when has Bronie ever produced a sequel?
This was indeed a very confusing point.
Creating a new IP but not continuing it, leaving sequels hanging indefinitely, and instead focusing on new works.
The last game was Persona, although the plot and music were excellent, for some players who liked to play big games, it lacked a little something.
RPG games can indeed be considered one of the older categories in the gaming world, but everyone's tastes are different, and what they like is also different. It's very difficult to make everyone like the same game.
"Plants vs. Zombies"
A game that looks so simple that it couldn't get any simpler. Even if it were thrown onto a webpage without any promotion, it might just fade into obscurity.
Perhaps it could also become a childhood memory for some players?
At least, when Bronie played this game as a child, she was very, very happy.
After releasing the new game, Mr. Otto immediately contacted her.
"Although I don't know what time it is on your end, Miss Bronie, I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. You don't seem to be in very good shape."
Even though Bronie's body had indeed improved a lot, her complexion still looked a bit off, giving off a pale feeling.
"After all, I did something incredible, something I've dreamed of but still haven't achieved fully."
Otto's original relaxed posture instantly collapsed, and he looked at Bronie in shock.
"Are you serious!?"
"Elysia, come and take a look at the Archbishop of Schicksal, the actual controller of Void Archive, the heir of the previous civilization's relics, and the Pure Love War God who has done nothing but evil for five hundred years—Otto!"
"Hey~"
Elysia had heard of Otto's exploits, but it was said that future resurrection plans and plans to fight the Honkai all required the help of the Schicksal, and no matter what, they couldn't bypass this man, the Archbishop.
He could do anything to resurrect Kallen, but if anyone stood in his way of achieving his goal, Otto would not hesitate to eliminate them.
And to achieve his goals, he would also not hesitate to sacrifice others.
For this reason, he had done many terrible things, which was why Bronie referred to him as the Pure Love War God who has done nothing but evil.
Elysia didn't have much of an opinion on this man; all she could say was that the diversity of humans indeed allowed Elysia to observe new things once again.
"...Hey, are you joking with me?"
"No, this time the Aeon intervened. I seized the opportunity for success. I also brought back important data. I think..."
"Say it. What do you want? The position of the Archbishop of Schicksal is also available, but that thing can only be reserved. I can give you the whole Schicksal after I've completed my own goals."
"Forget it, forget it, being in Schicksal is too troublesome. Who has the time to like that position? Busy all day long, always being watched and could be eaten at any time. What I want to say is... try to cultivate K423 as much as possible, let her metamorphose as a Herrscher."
"Metamorphosis?"
Otto didn't study Herrschers much, so when he heard Bronie say this, he felt quite strange, to be honest.
Then Bronie looked at Elysia beside her.
"The situation of Herrschers in this civilization is somewhat different from that of the previous civilization. Newly born Herrschers are still in a juvenile stage, and under specific circumstances, they can gain strength. It's like when Sirin suddenly gained so much power on the moon. Although this analogy is a bit inappropriate, what I want to say is almost the same."
Sirin's transformation was due to the Honkai Will distributing the power of some future Herrschers to her, allowing her to cause some trouble ahead of time so that the future Herrschers would be relatively weakened.
However, there hasn't been any Herrscher metamorphosis so far, so Bronie doesn't have any evidence to prove all this.
"I understand, so you want K423 to metamorphose, right? For example, suffering a major setback, sacrificing one or two friends who are close to her, and then under the love and bonds of other friends and family, letting humanity overcome the Honkai..."
"Isn't that a bit extreme? Do you have to sacrifice something? Can't it be something else?"
"Haha! I got it. I'll send out a Soulium body to give K423 a good show. I think I should be able to do that."
"Huh?"
"What? Is this not okay? Or are you worried that K423 will be overwhelmed by this? Don't you dislike sacrifices? That's simple, I can prepare a very good play~"
Well, when it comes to Kallen, Otto is definitely serious.
Although at first Otto was a bit skeptical of Bronie's words when he saw Elysia coming out, he knew Bronie had really done it when he saw Elysia touching Bronie's legs and then playfully hugging Bronie's neck with both hands!
To be watched by the Aeon... no, rather, to be loved by someone, to receive such treatment, really makes one envious.
As for himself?
This great villain, there probably won't be many Aeons interested in him.
Otto stillbhas some self-awareness.
"Indeed, while the experiences may be fake, the emotions she can feel, the strength she can gain, all of that is real, but is this really okay?"
Bronie looked at Elysia.
At this point, Elysia was playing with Bronie's spiral ponytail.
"Hehe, then you'll have to compensate Kiana properly~"
Elysia didn't think there was anything wrong with this; sometimes, the things that bring growth are often experienced through pain.
And if this pain could be reduced a bit, or even if it were a small accident...
The future Kiana, who had grown, would surely understand everyone's good intentions.
Of course, it's also possible that she might explode in anger.
According to Elysia's reasoning, this cute and lovely girl of hers would surely be forgiven, right?
Unknowingly, Kiana's future had been arranged clearly, although there was a tendency from the beginning.
But there was still some change.
Miss Sirin may not be as irritable as before, so maybe growth won't be so painful.
"I'll send you the data, but whether it can be done is another matter. I suggest you remain as rational as possible. If you want to bring Kallen back from death, it's best to give her a world without Honkai."
Otto fell silent.
Did Bronie really believe in this verbal agreement?
Although at the moment, Otto indeed had no intention of betraying Bronie, seeing Bronie like this, as if she had fallen in love, and then seeing Elysia, Otto felt a sour itch in his heart!
Damn it, hold back, I must endure!
"Of course, if Kallen can come back, I will certainly prepare the best world for her. I will still accept the punishment for all the sins of the past, so—"
Bronie sent a file package, and after downloading it, there were many Vill-V-style data reports inside.
But what was even more attractive was the first-person view of Bronie's battles in the imaginary space.
The overwhelming monsters, the fragments of past history, and what Elysia had done to die.
Plus the pure white pearls Bronie pulled out, implanted into the imaginary tree, and upon inspection, it was discovered that this was actually an ether anchor of the Sea of Quanta!
Hiss—
His exploration of the Quantum Sea was indeed on point!
And Durandal also had an ether anchor.
Can he do it?
Connect the world to the imaginary tree, use it as a Trojan horse, and then control it?
No, not enough, he probably needs more power!
If he wants to replicate Bronie's actions, it's going to be very difficult because the Aeon helped her locate Elysia's position on the imaginary tree, allowing Bronie to travel through fifty thousand years of time to reach Elysia's side.
But if he's groping in the dark, forget about fifty thousand years, it's almost impossible for five hundred years!
So he has to become a Herrscher!
Yes, not only does he have to become a Herrscher, but he also has to remain rational and negotiate with the Honkai God!
Once, the ancient civilization was almost completely defeated in front of the Herrscher's constraints. The tragedy of Binding became a bone-deep pain for every hero, and according to Otto's research on Judah, it was also judged that with the current technology, it's really difficult to solve the problem of restraining Herrschers.
Then why not become such a guy himself?
That power based on the laws of the imaginary, the unchanging ability, even if it's weakened, there's still a possibility of contacting the imaginary tree!
Otto stayed up for three days and nights, comparing the data sent by Bronie and conducting various experiments on imaginary energy, as well as studying the ether floating in the Sea of Quanta.
Ether editing technology, although Bronie didn't mention it completely, that ability to almost modify reality could really become a breakthrough point that affects the imaginary tree!
Now that things have come to this, can't he think about it?
He doesn't need to understand all the rules completely, he just needs to figure out how to influence the imaginary tree.
Otto considers himself very clever; these things can be solved as long as he spends time on them.
But before he finishes all this work and experimentation, should he take a look at what game Bronie made?
It's said to be rehabilitation; Otto is curious if Bronie wants to make a small game, would it be another classic like Undertale?
As a result, when he opened the game store, he found that this game was only a little over ten bucks, and the content was only a little over a hundred megabytes.
Isn't this a coincidence?
Undertale also only has a few hundred megabytes of content.
So, Bronie is proving with practical actions that the size of a game can only prove the amount of content of the game.
It cannot determine whether a game is good or not.
Even this title "Plants vs. Zombies" is quite subtle.
After downloading the game, Otto glanced at the massive amount of work content on his computer.
Forget it, let's experience the game first and then think about work.
Otto temporarily forgot about the tedious task of Schicksal duties and opened the Plants vs. Zombies he had just downloaded.
The music came slowly, and the cartoonish graphics made Otto furrow his brows.
The last time was already cartoonish enough with Persona, and now the quality of the graphics has regressed?
No, it shouldn't be about the graphics quality, but rather the style and art direction.
It's a very classic American art style, and just seeing Crazy Dave gives off a strong sense of nostalgia.
It's like the style of a game that has just been developed, with everyone still trying things out.
Can't say it's bad, but with current technology, it definitely can't be considered good.
But considering Bronie's sickly appearance, well, let's not rush to conclusions.
The difficulty of the whole game is progressive.
From the first level to the later ones, the game keeps unlocking new things, and Bronie even integrates the concept of the old QQ Farm.
Farming, steaSiring crops, raising zombies, continuously obtaining Easter eggs or even some insignificant instructions through planting trees, all adding a bit of fun.
After completing subsequent levels, special gameplay modes will be unlocked, such as everyone's favorite bSirind box smashing mode, or whack-a-mole, or puzzle mode.
In short, Bronie has stuffed in many interesting mini-games she can think of.
Combined with the brainwashing background music, cute plant graphics, and the determined yet cute appearance of the zombies.
When Otto came to his senses, he found Amber smiSiring at him.
"Your Excellency, although Amber has heard of old and young, the older you are, the younger you are, but is your taste in games now a bit... youthful?"
Amber's words of teasing turned from childish to youthful at the end.
Hearing Amber's yin and yang, Otto couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"No, Amber, it's not that my hobbies are too childish, it's just that this game is really so appeaSiring in its design. The progressive difficulty, new elements in every level, every new plant added brings more changes, and Bunny's game-making skills are still as sharp as ever, she really understands what players want."
In such a simple game, players can easily find joy, and the catchy background music always makes one involuntarily replay it in their mind.
It can only be said that Haxxor Bunny is highly regarded by the Elation Aeon precisely because of her unparalleled talent.
Even if she creates such a small game, it can still captivate countless people.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to achieve this level.
So, next, he must carefully calculate how to train the little princess Herrscher Bronie appointed into a powerful warrior!
