It must be miHoYo's doing.

Suddenly, a striking message flashed by: "Why don't I see Teacher Jizi?"

The air froze in an instant. Mei's smile froze, the sparkle in Kiana's eyes dimmed, and even Bronya's arms, clinging to Homu, trembled slightly.

"Teacher Himeko..." Mei's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Theresa suddenly raised her hands: "Today is a happy day! We must work hard together for Jizi's sake!" She blinked hard, trying to hold back her tears.

The comments suddenly became suspicious:

"Is there any plot knife?"

"I suddenly feel so sorry for them..."

"Isn't this acting too real?"

Then, another eye-catching message: "Why is Kevin the only villain here? Where's Otto?"

Everyone's expressions suddenly became strange. Kiana covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking. Bronya buried her face in her Homunculus doll. Even the usually serious Kevin turned his head away, his mouth twitching suspiciously.

"Master Otto..." Theresa tried to remain serious, "has an important experiment..."

In front of the surveillance screen, Otto, in the form of a little luoli, slammed the cup hard: "Theresa!!" The childish voice had no deterrent effect at all.

In the Chengehu space, Tianming looked at the skyrocketing live broadcast data with satisfaction: "Sure enough, keeping people's appetite is the best publicity."

Time flies, and soon it’s time for the public beta.

"The last ten seconds countdown!" Bronya's voice spread throughout the venue.

On the holographic projection, the download progress bar began to grow rapidly. All the characters stood in a row, hand in hand. Even Kevin was forcibly dragged over by Kiana.

"ten!"

The Hyperion's guns fired streamers

"Nine!"

Lightning flashes in Mei's eyes

"eight!"

Bronya's pupils turned into data streams

"seven!"

Theresa's cross begins to glow

"six!"

The ice crystals in Kevin's hand reflected a rainbow

"five!"

There are stars in Kiana's eyes

"Four!"

The barrage in the live broadcast room is unified into love

"three!"

Inside the Chen Ge pot, Tianming pressed the start button

"two!"

Tens of millions of mobile phones on Bluestar light up at the same time

"one!"

The logo of Honkai Impact 3rd blooms on countless screens

"Happy public beta!!!"

The moment the live broadcast ended, the curve on the server monitoring screen rose vertically:

The number of concurrent online users exceeded 500 million

Global downloads reached 2000 million

Top ten hot searches all occupied

Meita excitedly jumped on Tianming and said, "Master! We succeeded!"

At the same time, in the monitoring room of Xiaoyu Technology, Jack looked at the data of his own "Girls' Front 2" - 100 million people online.

However, Jack didn't seem worried about this and just curled up the corners of his mouth.

"After all, we're a VR-exclusive game. How can we compare to mobile games, which anyone can afford? Let's wait and see!"

There was a fierce light in Jack's eyes, which seemed to contain some conspiracy.

………………

The world of collapse.

On the deck of the Hyperion, everyone was staggering with exhaustion. Kiana sprawled on the ground, "I'm so tired..."

Mei gently stroked her forehead: "Thank you for your hard work."

Bronya suddenly spoke up: "Bronya has detected that some players have reached the end of Chapter 3."

The air solidified again.

"So soon?!" Theresa jumped up. "Isn't Chapter 9 about that... so it's going to be out soon..."

Bronya calmly replied, "We're only updating to Chapter 8 this time...at the Guild Master's request..."

Volume 2: It must be miHoYo! 乆! : 038 The Rival's Hacker Invasion! MiHoYo's Counterattack!

That night.

Abroad, Jack, the CEO of Xiaoyu Technology, sat in a dark bar room with a serious and cold expression.

Next to him, the female secretary came up to him and said, "The world's number one hacker we hired is ready and can start the operation at any time!"

"Excellent!" Jack's eyes gleamed fiercely. "All that publicity we've done before was for this moment! As long as the world's best hacker we contacted cooperates with the people in our network security department to break through miHoYo's firewall and destroy their servers, then players will completely believe that Honkai Impact 3rd will be as good as Honkai Gakuen 2, and we'll win!"

"Then... let's get started!"

　(I) Umbrella. The group of people walking around, ………………

In Longguo, in a hacker chat group.

"You've also captured the world's top hacker, right? He's entered our Dragon Nation's network."

"Well, we've noticed it and have contacted the national security department. If he launches an attack on the systems of some countries, the losses will be huge."

"Wait... his target doesn't seem to be the national network system, but... a private company?"

"The world's number one hacker hacked into a company? Like using a cannon to defeat a mosquito. What company?"

“…miHoYo.”

…………

On the other side, Gu Xiaoqing, who was playing "Honkai Impact 3", also noticed the chat content in the group.

As a well-known genius hacker in the country, she also squeezed into that circle, but no one knew that she was just a ten-year-old girl.

"What?! Someone actually dared to invade miHoYo?! And right after Honkai Impact 3rd's public beta?"

Gu Xiaoqing was shocked and angry. She subconsciously threw down the controller and put her hands on the computer, intending to help miHoYo herself.

But the next moment, she recalled her previous experience of being repeatedly intercepted by the guy with the ID fair of miHoYo, and miHoYo's firewall as thick as the earth.

"Sigh~~"

"Why do I feel like... I don't need your help?"

...............

Beneath the star-filled dome within the Chen Ge kettle, data streams flowed like the Milky Way. Tianming lazily leaned on a suspended chair woven from quantum foam, his fingertips gently fiddling with the holographic projections floating in the air. Dozens of surveillance footage unfolded before him—Blue Planet's network traffic, player data from the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, elemental fluctuations in Teyvat...

Every stream of information was precisely filtered by the laws of the Chen Ge Pot, turning into tiny spots of light surrounding him.

"Master~"

Meita approached with light steps, her legs wrapped in black stockings gleaming in the light of the data. She pushed her round glasses up on her nose, her long brown hair swaying gently with her movements.

"All external intrusion data has been intercepted. A total of 3.7 million attack requests have been diverted to the imaginary space for decomposition."

She paused, a dangerous smile forming on her lips. "Want to fight back? They've already locked down the IP addresses of all the attack sources, including Xiaoyu Technology's core servers."

Tianming chuckled softly, and with a flick of his finger, the holographic projection before him switched to a real-time update of public opinion on the Blue Star network. A barrage of negative articles continued to spread, and the forums were filled with questions about the "Honkai Impact 3" server.

"No rush~" He held his chin, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, "Let the bullets fly for a while."

At the same time, in the underground server room of Xiaoyu Technology Headquarters, Jack's face was as gloomy as iron.

"What's going on?!" He slammed the console, causing the metal surface to vibrate beneath his palm. "Didn't they say the world's top hacker had already taken action? Why are miHoYo's servers still running normally?!"

The technical director next to him was sweating profusely, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, but all that popped up on the screen was a glaring red warning.

"Sir, we've encountered an encryption algorithm of unknown level!" His voice was tense, and the veins on his forehead were clearly visible. "Night Owl's attack data has all been lost. Not even a single byte has been able to penetrate the enemy's firewall!"

Jack's eyes were sinister, and he suddenly grabbed the technical director by the collar: "Tell me, a fledgling gaming company can withstand the full force of the world's top hacker and all our servers and technicians?!"

The technical director swallowed hard, his voice dry. "Unless... their firewall isn't Earth technology at all."

In a top hacker forum in Longguo, an anonymous post was quietly pinned to the top.

Where are miHoYo's servers located?

The post included an extremely bizarre data topology diagram, showing the flow of data from all attacks against miHoYo.

But what's creepy is that all this data eventually converges to a... "non-existent" node.

"What the hell is this..." a hacker wrote in the comments section. "I tracked it for three hours and finally found that the attack data flowed into a 'fictitious' IP address and then disappeared completely."

"It's like being 'eaten' by something."

Another person replied: "I tried to reverse-engineer it, and it triggered some kind of quantum state encryption protocol, which directly burned my computer's BIOS..."

Even more shocking was that someone suddenly posted a screenshot on the forum - it was a log fragment intercepted from the edge of the miHoYo server, which showed a line of code:

"Welcome to CHENGEHU_SPACE."

(Welcome to the Chengehu space.)

…………

Inside the Chen Ge teapot, Tianming slowly sipped a cup of black tea condensed from stardust, his eyes reflecting countless pulsating data streams.

Meita stood aside, tapping his fingertips to project the current chaotic state of Xiaoyu Technology's server - their core database was being reversely infiltrated by some unknown force, and all confidential files were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if erased by an eraser.

"Master~" Meita blinked, his tone sweet, "If you don't take action now, Xiaoyu Technology will destroy itself, okay?"

Tianming chuckled and put down his teacup: "Almost done."

He raised his hand and lightly hooked his fingertips. Countless intercepted hacker attack data condensed into the shape of a bullet in the void. The words "Made by XiaoYu Tech" were engraved on the black shell.

"Now—" He flicked the bullet lightly, and it instantly transformed into a stream of light, piercing through the boundaries of the Dust Song Pot and disappearing into the depths of the digital universe. "Let the bullet fly back."

One second later, Xiaoyu Technology's intranet monitoring system frantically sounded the alarm.

"No... Impossible..." The technical director stared at the screen, his face as pale as paper.

In the core layer of their server, a "bullet" exploded silently, releasing not destructive code... but all the intercepted original texts of the black articles, water army transaction records, and the employment contract of "Night Owl".

This data spread like a plague. Within just three minutes, the databases of major technology media, social platforms, and financial regulatory agencies around the world all automatically generated the same file.

Xiaoyu Technology: Manipulating Public Opinion, Hiring Hackers, and Commercial Fraud - A Complete Record (June 6th, June)

Jack slumped in his chair, watching the company's stock plummet on Darknas, with billions in market value evaporating.

Meanwhile, at the distant Mihoyo headquarters, Bronya looked at the steady curve on the server monitor and said softly:

"It seems the President's 'bullet'...hit its target."

Volume 2: It must be miHoYo's doing! 乆! :039 How could it be... such a coincidence?

Tianming originally thought of using digital technology to retaliate and crash the opponent's server, but then he thought that this would easily arouse suspicion from the people of Blue Star.

After all, after the incident where the Wind Dragon destroyed the Mold Army fleet, he no longer wanted to take the blame.
