It must be miHoYo's doing.

Tianming yawned. "The one standing before you is merely a clone of my true self. I'm only reluctantly using these lesser powers to adapt to the laws of this universe. Why... is this shocking to you?"

"Is it a clone? I can't see through you, but in my domain, those powers alone are not enough!"

The Star God's body suddenly swelled, and the surrounding stars were drawn into His body.

"Hand over that girl!"

"Sorry~" Tianming's finger gently tapped the Mockingbird's terminal bracelet, and the text of the contract emerged like a chain. "This lady has signed an indenture... No, it's a mutual assistance contract."

Hippie's six arms suddenly froze. He saw that the words of the contract were flowing with laws that even the Star Gods could not decipher. Even more terrifying, they vaguely emitted the aura of a higher dimension than the Star Gods.

"Who are you..."

"Just a guild master passing by~" Tianming suddenly snapped his fingers, "Excuse me, my employees are about to get off work."

With a snap of his fingers, Tianming spent 100 fantasy points to exchange for an absolute rule suppression, which was a new redeemable item after the system upgrade.

The sea of ​​stars shattered like a mirror. Robin's last impression was of Shipe's furious, twisted face, and the guildmaster's ever-skilled figure...

…………

Time returns to the present.

"Ah~ I'm so tired." Tianming stretched out his arms, the galaxy pattern on his Xingsha cloak slowly flowing with his movements. He stood in the observation cabin of the spaceship, gazing out the window at the deep universe. "So, little Zhigeng, what are you going to do next?"

Robin folded her hands in her lap, her fingertips still trembling slightly from the battle. She looked at her own reflection in the porthole, the star pattern still faintly visible at her neck.

"I..." Her voice was soft but firm, "I want to use this power to bring more beauty to the universe."

Tianming raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to face her: "Oh? Can you tell me more about it?"

The robin's eyes lit up, as if filled with stars. She gestured unconsciously with her hands: "I plan to establish a universal entertainment company! Every morning, we'll broadcast heaven's hymns to the entire universe, so that every corner of the universe can hear the melody of peace."

She became increasingly excited as she spoke, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks. "Imagine, when the first rays of morning light shine upon every planet, my song will dispel all sorrow and pain..."

Tianming's mouth twitched, and he rubbed his temple. "Wait, wait... a universal broadcast every morning? Eliminating all suffering?"

His expression grew subtle, and he muttered softly, "As expected of brother and sister... This idea is even more dangerous than that kid on Sunday..."

The robin tilted his head. "What did the president say?"

"Nothing~" Tianming waved his hand, his signature lazy smile returning to his face. "Since you're a member, of course I have to support you!"

The robin's eyes curved into crescents. "Then... could you come up with a name for this company?"

"A name..." Tianming's gaze drifted off into the distance, as if he was reminiscing. After a moment, he snapped his fingers and said, "Let's call it 'miHoYo'!"

"Mi...Ha...Yu..." the robin repeated each word slowly, tracing the shape of the three characters in the air with his fingers. "Aren't these the first three characters of our association's name? So what special meaning do these three characters have?"

Tianming blinked mysteriously. "Well...you'll understand when your company grows big enough."

He turned to leave, his star sand cape rippling with his movements. As he reached the hatch, he suddenly remembered something and turned back: "By the way, remember to record a song for me when you have time."

"What song?"

"Nightglow" Tianming's eyes softened for a rare moment. "The song from the last lesson of Honkai Impact 3rd."

After he finished speaking, his figure had already turned into specks of starlight and dissipated into the air, leaving only Robin standing alone in the viewing cabin.

"MiHoYo..." She whispered the name, her fingers unconsciously caressing the terminal bracelet. Outside the porthole, a meteor streaked across the dark universe, leaving behind a brilliant trail.

What the robin didn't know was that these three words would one day become the name of a giant corporation that would rival the Interstellar Peace Corporation. Just like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, it would eventually light up the entire starry sky.

What she didn't know was that when she finally recorded "Nightglow", the song would be broadcast throughout the universe through miHoYo's broadcast system and become the melody most anticipated by countless civilizations at dawn.

"It will definitely..." the robin whispered to the empty cabin, "It will make the world a better place."

Volume 2 must be done by miHoYo! 乆! : 036 "Honkai Impact 3rd" is ready for public beta!

Tianming returned to the Chen Ge Hu space, opened up a new universe, recruited new members, and solved the last-minute background music problem. Tianming is now in a particularly good mood.

I looked at the time. Although three days had passed in the Collapse Universe, only one hour had passed on Blue Star and Teyvat.

"Is the difference in time flow caused by the world not being connected to Blue Planet?"

"Forget it... The Collapse Universe will eventually come into contact with Blue Star. There are more important things to do now."

Tianming shrugged, called Meita, and announced an important news -

"Notify Ningguang and prepare for the public beta of Honkai Impact 3rd!"

…………

Time passed quickly, and soon it was seven days before the official public beta of "Honkai Impact 3rd".

The forum discussion was heated.

"Have you heard? Honkai Impact 3rd is going to be open for testing."

"I'm still looking forward to it, but it's a pity that although mobile phones, PCs, and consoles are interconnected, there's no VR version. After all, this is the era of VR games..."

"Looking at the PV screen, I know my phone can't handle it. However, this game seems to offer free cloud gaming services, and the installation package is only a few dozen megabytes. I'll give it a try when the time comes."

"By the way, didn't Xiaoyu Technology, a foreign company, buy Girls' Frontline 2 from Zhong's group in China? I heard that this game will be launching a public beta soon, and it's exclusive to VR. After all, they're a global VR gaming giant, so we can look forward to it."

"You guys think these two games won't collide with each other, that would be interesting."

While the discussion was taking place on the Blue Star Forum, Meita also reported this matter to Tianming in the Dust Song Pot space of Teyvat.

"Their VR games don't conflict with us, so just ignore it," Tianming said.

However, Tianming was thinking about entering the VR field in the future. He already had a very bold idea in his mind.

………………

The United States, Xiaoyu Technology Headquarters.

The dazzling nightscape of the San Francisco Bay Area was visible from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Jack Thompson stood in front of the window, shaking a half-full glass of whiskey. The amber liquid shone dangerously under the light.

"Someone!" He suddenly turned around, slamming his wine glass down on the marble table. "Show that clueless Chinese company a lesson!"

The secretary, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, pushed them up, the lenses reflecting the cold light of the computer screen. "We're already preparing, Boss. We've hired twenty of the world's top cybersecurity teams and prepared three hundred different schemes for spreading disinformation."

Jack smiled a sinister smile, his beard twisting with the edge of his mouth. "Great, let that...whatever gamer know who's boss in the VR gaming world!"

Same day, Shanghai, miHoYo headquarters

Bronya's virtual projection spun in the center of the conference room. She reported the public opinion data expressionlessly: "As of 8:00 this morning, there have been 1247 negative reports worldwide, 86312 negative forum posts, and over 200 million views of related negative content on short video platforms."

The projection switched to a viral video titled "Be Careful When Playing Honkai Impact 3." In the video, a self-proclaimed "former game developer" confidently recounted miHoYo's dark history.

The content is that miHoYo's new game "Honkai Impact 3rd" is based on a game called "Honkai Gakuen 2." Just one month after its release, the server crashed, destroying all player data. Therefore, as the sequel to "Honkai Gakuen 2," players should think carefully and be careful of server crashes that could ruin their hard work.

"..." Cai Miao frowned and was silent for a while.

Once upon a time, the server explosion of "Honkai Gakuen 2" was his inner demon. For a long time, he thought it was his bad luck that caused the game they had worked so hard on to be burned to ashes.

Although Tianming's appearance later resolved his worries, when the old things were brought up again, he suddenly started to worry about "Honkai Impact 3rd".

It can't be that... the server really exploded again...

The office door suddenly opened, and Tianming walked in, waving a tablet in his hand. "Good morning, everyone!" He casually tossed the tablet onto the conference table. The screen displayed a real-time heat map of global public opinion. "It seems our 'friends' are very enthusiastic."

"President!" Bronya's projection flashed. "Do we need to activate the emergency plan? The PR department has prepared a statement..."

"No need~" Tianming waved his hand and pulled out a box of donuts from the conference table like a magic trick. "It's better to let them make a big fuss." He took a bite of the donut, and the cream stained the corner of his mouth. "Remember the 'surprise' we prepared?"

Meita, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly chuckled. "Master is so mean! The IP addresses of those water army accounts have been marked."

Online World·A well-known game forum

[Hot] "Rational Discussion: Will miHoYo's new game follow the same path as Honkai Impact 2rd?"

15.2w likes, 8.6w comments

"I heard from friends in the industry that this company's technical capabilities are really poor..."

"Honestly, Xiaoyu Technology's "Little Neighbor II 2:1 Three Neighbors 〦〨o Junyangnu Battlefront 2" is still reliable."

"Mi Xiaozi is anxious? You won't even let me tell you the truth?"

In the comment section where the topic is most talked about, the profile picture of a user with the ID "Mijia's No. 1 Black Fan" is always dark.

In the Magic City, in Lin Xiaosa’s apartment.

Lin Xiaosa (Sa-chan) sat cross-legged on her gaming chair, staring intently at the overwhelming amount of black text on the screen. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, and she tried to type several times but then pulled back.

"Damn it..." She ruffled her short hair, "I know these are all fake..."

The phone next to the computer suddenly lit up. It was a message from Lan Yue: "Sasa, you're not on Heimihayou? The sun is rising from the west?"

Lin Xiaosa smiled wryly and looked out the window—there was a familiar black car parked there. A month ago, it was the people in this car who had taught her the hard way what it would be like to speak ill of miHoYo.

Moreover, ever since she met Tianming that time and learned some inside information, she always felt that the godlike guy would not just stand there and watch. It seemed... something was going to happen...

"This time..." She slowly closed her laptop, "I'd better just sit back and enjoy the melon."

Teyvat, Dust Song Pot Space

Tianming stood amidst a torrent of data, countless codes swirling around him like a galaxy. Meita was reporting on the latest progress: "Master, we've tracked down the real-name information for 87% of the water army accounts, including their transfer records with Xiaoyu Technology..."

"Very good~" Tianming snapped his fingers, and a countdown to the public beta in seven days appeared before him. "When the server for Honkai Impact 3rd opens..." A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes. "Let Mr. Jack see what a true 'server crash' means."

Behind him, a projection labeled "Revenge Plan for Honkai Academy 2" quietly lit up, and the screen showed a 3D model of Xiaoyu Technology Headquarters.

PS: Starting from today, I will update 10,000 words. It’s almost the end of the semester, so I don’t have time to write.

Recently, I took advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday to write more, and I still have about 100,000 words in reserve.

I plan to release all my manuscripts, and they will be finished next month.

Volume 2 must be done by miHoYo! 乆! :037 "Honkai Impact 3rd"! Happy public beta!

Soon the day of the public beta began, and during this period, there was no end to the negative articles about "Honkai Impact 3rd".

The star clock in the Dust Song Pot space pointed to the final hour of the public beta test countdown. Tianming stood in the center of the data hub, with thirty-six holographic surveillance screens floating before him, displaying real-time updates from the Honkai Impact 3rd world, Blue Star, and Teyvat.

"Master, all the equipment has been debugged!" Meita trotted over, holding the data board. Her black stockings, adorned with office lady outfits, shone alluringly in the starlight. "But there's one small problem..." She tilted her head, her long brown hair falling over her shoulders. "Lord Otto said he absolutely refuses to come."

Tianming's lips curled into a sly smile. "Of course he can't come." With a flick of his finger, he brought up a hidden surveillance video—a little girl with blond twintails sat angrily in the laboratory, her torn dress scattered around her. "After all, our Lord Bishop's current appearance... well, doesn't quite fit the setting."

In the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, the deck of the Hyperion was transformed into a makeshift stage. Multicolored holographic fireworks exploded from the bridge, illuminating the entire airport like a dreamscape. Kiana nervously tugged at her newly changed performance outfit, its white dress dotted with quantum-like light.

"Stupid Kiana, stop pulling, the fabric is going to tear." Bronya stood aside holding the Homunculus doll, the holographic countdown reflected in her gray eyes.

"I'm nervous!" Kiana stamped her foot. "This is going to be broadcast live to another world!"

Mei Raiden gently adjusted her collar and said, "Just treat it as normal training." Purple lightning danced at her fingertips as she put a shining hairpin on Kiana.

Kevin leaned against the railing, fiddling with an ice crystal. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Ms. Theresa, are you sure you want to wear this..." Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head by a cross.

"Call the principal!" Theresa angrily tugged at the lace edge of her tutu. "I prepared this especially for the celebration!"

The live broadcast will begin soon.

"Three, two, one—go!"

As Bronya counted down, the live broadcast signal across the world was simultaneously connected to all major platforms on Blue Star. Millions of viewers instantly flocked in, and the comments flooded in like a tide:

"Holy crap! All the virtual streamers I follow are in the same frame!"

"Isn't this special effect too real?"

"MiHoYo has invested a lot of money!"

Kiana took a deep breath and waved at the camera in the void: "Hi~ everyone! I'm your Kiana Kaslana!" Her voice trembled slightly due to nervousness, but soon stabilized in Mei's encouraging eyes.

"Today is the day for our Honkai Impact 3rd open beta!" She spun around, her skirt flying. "Everyone must come and play!"

The barrage suddenly exploded: "Who is that handsome white-haired guy on the left? So handsome!"

It's normal that the audience doesn't know him. Kevin has only done a live broadcast once since he became a member, but he shamefully ended the broadcast after only five minutes. He hasn't even released any videos since then.

Kevin has his own way of earning fantasy points, though.

I don’t know why, but every time there is a mission to eliminate alien evil, Kevin is always the one who grabs it the fastest.

Maybe... I've been single for too long...

Kevin looked away expressionlessly, but was grabbed by Kiana's arm: "This is my ancestor! Although he looks young, he is actually..." A burst of ice instantly sealed her mouth.

"Serves you right." Bronya glanced at the frozen Kiana and held up the Homunculus doll. "Bronya recommends that new players prioritize developing characters with psychic attributes."

Theresa jumped in front of the camera and said, "Remember to report to St. Freya's Academy! The principal will take good care of you~" Her sweet smile made the barrage of comments "awsl".
