It must be miHoYo's doing.

The originally noisy crowd of onlookers became completely quiet at this moment, and you could hear a pin drop.

No one laughed, no one envied.

A look of admiration and shame appeared on everyone's face.

Yes, they admired the boy who was a unlucky guy in their mouths just a few minutes ago, and they were also ashamed of their own retreat.

Looking at the figure of the young man fighting against the sky in the illusion, looking at the body of the young man in reality that had turned into a blood gourd.

"I'm going to die, I'm definitely going to die if I keep going like this!" They all thought to themselves. At the same time, they finally understood what Tianming had said about the necessary conditions for becoming a member: "Have a wish that you'll fulfill even if it costs you your life."

If it were them, could they persist in such a situation?

The answer is self-evident.

Perhaps, only those with diamond-like perseverance can become junior members and pursue their own wishes.

At this moment, everyone unexpectedly wanted the young man named Bennett to pass the trial...

…………

In the illusion, various unexpected accidents continue to happen.

Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, frost, fire, it seemed that nothing could destroy the body that looked like it would fall down at any moment.

He just walked forward step by step, towards the finish line - fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...

The end is just around the corner. Whether it's the team members in the illusion or the countless spectators in reality, their hearts seem to be in their throats.

"It's coming, it's coming soon! Captain!"

"Come on! Poor unlucky boy!"

There were constant calls inside and outside the illusion.

Unfortunately, the heavens seemed to be really angry this time. A huge golden hand descended from the sky and directly grasped Bennett's body. The golden hand squeezed hard, and Bennett's already broken body immediately turned into powder and disappeared into smoke.

All this happened so suddenly and so illogically that everyone in and outside the illusion was stunned, as if they couldn't believe what had just happened.

"That... kid named Bennett just... died like that?"

At this moment, some people who originally disliked Bennett's bad luck became extremely angry. They pointed their fingers at Tianming who was sitting in the air and raised their questions.

"God of Wishes... Is this the ending you wanted to see?! Don't you want to give anyone the chance to become a junior member?"

In response, Tianming simply put his index finger to his lips, made a soft "hush" sound, and then pointed at Bennett's figure standing in the center of the hall.

Finally, someone realized something was wrong. In other people's illusions before, if the body in the illusion died, it would be considered a failure in the trial, and the real body would be ejected from the range of the crystal ball. But this time... Bennett's body remained in the same place and was slowly moving towards the crystal ball.

"Everyone, look! Bennett is still moving! The trial isn't over yet!"

Countless people noticed this detail, and then looked at the illusion projection in the sky, as if expecting a miracle to happen.

Sure enough, just a moment later, a figure shining like diamonds slowly walked out from the golden hand that was still tightly holding Bennett's shattered body, but this figure was transparent, like... a soul?

In reality, Tianming smiled and said calmly, "The body can be easily defeated, but a truly powerful spirit cannot be defeated even by gods or justice!"

In the illusion, the golden hand seemed to be stunned for a moment, and soon grabbed the illusory figure again, but this time, no matter how it grabbed, it could not hurt Bennett at all, and could only watch the illusory Bennett reach the finish line.

In an instant, the illusion turned into a sea of ​​jubilation. People blessed and congratulated Bennett, as if they were the ones who had completed the trial.

"Captain! I knew you would succeed!"

"Well done! Bennett boy!"

At the finish line, Bennett turned around, grinned at the big golden hand, and gave another thumbs up.

"Bennett Adventure Group, arrived safely!"

At the same time, Bennett in the real world also touched the crystal ball, and the illusion was quietly shattered.

"puff!"

In reality, Bennett suddenly came to his senses, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

Bright red blood soaked the marble floor.

The crowd finally recovered from the shock of the spirit triumphing over justice, and wanted to go forward to help Bennett, but Bennett was lying next to the crystal ball, and the huge pressure made it impossible for them to get close.

At this moment, Tianming stretched, slowly floated down from above, and snapped his fingers at Bennett's body.

In an instant, Bennett's body was wrapped in a green light, his injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his face turned from pale to rosy.

Volume 1: The Birth of MiHoYo: 058: Girls' Frontline's Counterattack

“I… this is…”

Bennett stood up half asleep and looked at his uninjured body.

"Congratulations, Bennett, you've completed the trial. From now on, you're a junior member of our miHoYo Mutual Aid Association."

Tianming smiled and threw out a golden contract, while passing on the knowledge about the association to Bennett.

Bennett signed the contract in a daze, and the contract turned into a bracelet and appeared on Bennett's wrist.

The others around him were envious, but that was all they were. After watching the illusionary projection, almost everyone present recognized this young man who had triumphed over fate with his spirit. Some even considered joining Bennett's adventuring group, regardless of their bad luck.

Then, Tianming took the opportunity of Bennett to let everyone present see the junior members' prayer process with their own eyes.

And it should be said that although Bennett was unlucky, he was unexpectedly lucky when he prayed.

There are twenty draws in total, with 12 hundred, 6 green and 2 purple.

Although there were no blue quality items, in addition to the guaranteed purple item, another purple quality item was actually released. It can be said that it was completely inconsistent with Bennett's luck.

As for the reason? Haha.

The bad luck rules imposed on Bennett by the Genshin Impact world want to influence the rules of the system? Don’t you even consider who has the bigger arm!

The first purple is a skill.

[Skill——Abundant Undead Blessing

Description: You are lucky because you will not die. You are also unlucky because you will not die.

Effect: The owner of this skill has super healing ability and will not die. 】

A very simple skill, the same as Uncle Blade's. If you draw this skill alone, I don't know whether it is good luck or bad luck, but if you add Bennett's next guaranteed purple, this is a completely positive skill.

[Strange Item——Luck Conservation Aura

Description: I am unlucky and you are lucky, sacrifice yourself to achieve others.

Function: Wearing a magical item will make you more unlucky, while those around you will become more fortunate. The luck of those around you is determined by the unlucky level of the wearer.

Looking at what he had prayed for, Bennett could hardly contain his excitement.

Looking up, Bennett looked at Tianming expectantly.

"Master Guild Master, my current bad luck will not affect others now. Can I... finally form my Bennett Adventure Group?"

Tianming nodded and smiled with relief.

"That's right. From now on, everyone around you will become lucky. However, the price is that you will become more..."

"Bang!"

The modern chandelier above Tianming's head, which was materialized by the power of law, suddenly fell down and hit Bennett's head, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

"hiss……"

"It really is even more unlucky..."

………………

At the same time, Blue Star, Magic City.

The large conference room of the Zhong Group was now full of people.

At this moment, the meeting hadn't started yet, and everyone around the conference table was solemnly sorting through documents. But among them, one young man had a relaxed expression, seeming very confident about the upcoming meeting.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door of the conference room. Zhong Ling walked into the conference room in casual clothes and sat down somewhere.

Looking at Zhong Ling, who didn't care about her image at all, some people in the conference room sighed, while others sneered.

"Heh~~ My sister has become so decadent just because she was transferred to a non-essential department. She doesn't even wear her work clothes anymore. It seems that the so-called jewel in the crown of the Zhong Group is just that~~"

The young man who had been looking comfortable before was Zhong Ling's half-brother Zhong Yu. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and even his eyes when he looked at Zhong Ling became somewhat provocative.

Meanwhile, Zhong Ling, who had just found a seat, paid no attention to any of this. She'd slept soundly last night after chatting with Eula, and even now, she was still reminiscing about what had happened, like a young woman in love.

"Ahem, everyone is here, right? Let's start today's morning meeting."

The middle-aged man sitting at the first table at the conference table was Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu's father, Zhong Cheng, who announced the start of the morning meeting.

People from various departments began to report.

Soon, it was time to report to the Culture and Gaming Department, which Zhong Yu was in charge of.

Zhong Yu adjusted his tie and walked to the front, not forgetting to give Zhong Ling a provocative look halfway.

Soon, Zhong Yu stood still, and the first sentence he said was explosive news.

"I think everyone saw the news yesterday. The mysterious Mihoyo company acquired Hoyoverse, a company known as the industry's jinx, with the intention of producing 2D games. Regarding this suicidal Mihoyo company, I don't think we need to worry. Anyone who dares to work with that jinx company will naturally face bad luck."

"But I have to admit, miHoYo's method of promoting the game is truly brilliant. Virtual anchors—they've pioneered a new form of live streaming, and they've been a huge success over the past week. We should take action, and yesterday I announced we'd be creating our own virtual anchors to promote our new game, Girls' Frontline 2."

After Zhong Yu finished speaking, the audience immediately started talking.

"Is this... feasible? Can it be technically realized in the short term? I heard that virtual live streaming requires very high technical content."

"This Zhong Yu just took over the game department and the IP of Girls' War, and he's already making such a big move. I wonder if he's done enough research."

In the corner, Zhong Ling finally came back to her senses from the afterglow of last night, her brows deeply furrowed.

She went to bed too early last night and rushed to attend the morning meeting, so she didn't pay any attention to MiHoYo's acquisition of Hoyoverse or the announcement issued by their company.

Looking back now, if the company she was competing with at that time was miHoYo, then the white-haired man leading the other team would look a little familiar.

"Hmm~~ Wait a minute! Could that white-haired guy who made me suffer back then be the guy named Tianming from the comic convention video? Rumor has it that he's the boss behind miHoYo."

As he was thinking, Zhong Ling slapped his head again.

"Oh, I'm such a fool. Why do I think about these things? I've been transferred and sidelined. Zhong Yu is just messing around in Egypt. I'd better just lie down and do nothing."

Thinking of this, Zhong Ling suddenly felt relieved and stopped worrying about these things.

On the stage, Zhong Yu continued to describe his plan.

"Actually, I noticed this concept seven days ago when virtual anchors first appeared. Since then, I have arranged for people to study the principles behind it. And now, our team has finally designed our own virtual anchor using the characters from the Girls' Frontline IP."

As he spoke, the big screen behind Zhong Yu began to show a video, which was a video he had arranged for someone to record.

Volume 1: The Birth of miHoYo: 059: Hostile Companies in Action

On the screen, a two-dimensional person was winking at the camera and acting cute, and then began to speak like a normal person, which really looked like it.

"Our team used high-precision 3D models, combined with motion and facial capture technology, to replicate miHoYo's virtual anchor. Although the movement consistency is slightly lacking, our team's analysis suggests that miHoYo's technology is identical to ours. The only thing we lack is experience."

"Furthermore, if we launch virtual streamers, we'll have a huge advantage over miHoYo's. Our characters already have a large number of fans. Once we start live streaming, we'll attract even more attention than miHoYo's virtual streamers, and we can convert this attention into publicity for our new game!"

Zhong Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, and by the end, his face was full of an expression of confidence in victory.

The doubts from the people in the audience before now all turned into praise and flattery.

If Tianming were here, he'd probably applaud Zhong Yu. He'd figured out the principles of virtual anchors so quickly and replicated them. This guy is quite talented. But Tianming wasn't afraid, because the virtual anchor Zhong Yu displayed...

"No soul..." Zhong Ling stared at the so-called virtual anchor on the big screen and muttered lightly in her heart.

Zhong Ling watched Eula's live broadcast intensively last night, and had also watched Jean and Klee's live broadcasts before. Her understanding of virtual anchors may be more thorough than Zhong Yu on the stage at this moment.

"Being a virtual anchor isn't just about animating a character. What's really needed is authenticity and a sense of immersion..."

The virtual anchor shown in Zhong Yu's video gave Zhong Ling the impression of a puppet being controlled by someone. This was a stark difference from miHoYo's virtual anchors.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ling was also a little puzzled. She couldn't understand why miHoYo's virtual anchor was so real, as if the person broadcasting the live broadcast really existed.

On the stage, Zhong Yu continued speaking.

"Time waits for no one. Taking advantage of this wave of popularity of virtual anchors, I plan to start live streaming tonight and give our users a big surprise!"

Off to the side, Zhong Cheng, who had been sitting at the top seat and remained serious, frowned and asked, "Xiao Yu, it's good to be motivated, but are you ready?"
