The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Author: Twisted Chef

Summary:

I traveled through time with a phone that could only run Honkai Impact 3.

It is still a collapsed world that is extremely unfriendly to men.

Just when Li Shubai, who had lost all hope, was ready to just eat and wait for death, a bug with a four-star favorability suddenly appeared in front of him.

But soon, he discovered...

...Rather than surviving in the collapsed world, what he should consider more is how to get a relatively decent ending from the women who were discussing breaking up with him.

Volume 1: Chronicles of the Sky

wedge

"Growth is not about experiencing pain, but about understanding that happiness is hard to come by."

Kiana stood on the bridge of Hyperion, bored and dazed.

There was endless chaos outside Hyperion's window. The distorted colors were like a palette mixed with various inferior pigments. They shone into Kiana's blue eyes through the special glass window, looking neither harmonious nor beautiful.

The bridge was empty, and the projector that was supposed to issue orders was not turned on. Except for the skylight on the top and the chaotic scene outside the window, even the electronic indicator lights that usually flickered were turned off.

The engines that maintain navigation and basic living facilities are still functioning normally, but not long ago, the instruments and armor originally used to command the Valkyries to fight fell into a dormant state for some reason at the same time.

Today is the 141st day that Kiana has been on guard duty on the bridge. To be honest, Kiana doesn't like standing guard here. Although the bridge is the command hub of the entire ship and the observation center for the Hyperion to understand the surrounding situation, in the current situation where there is no other command, even if she stands on the bridge, it is difficult to see anything interesting. During the guard time, there is nothing to do except staring blankly.

This is a torture for Kiana, whose temperament has been restrained but still active by nature.

But during these 142 days, Kiana still sticks to this post day after day. After all, as a member of Hyperion, the captain's orders are absolute, and Kiana will not leave the bridge until the next rotation order is issued.

Of course, apart from this reason...

...Perhaps, deep down in Kiana's heart, she still hopes that she can wait until the day when the captain issues the next order.

Suddenly, the projector on the bridge railing lit up, and the light shone in the air, projecting a virtual screen in front of Kiana.

Usually, their elusive captain gave them the latest instructions in this way.

Kiana's eyes lit up, and she stood up straight almost instinctively, looking towards the virtual screen, but she calmed down after seeing the figure displayed on the screen.

The silver-haired girl who was not the captain spoke in a clear and serious voice: "Kiana, you don't have to stand guard for now. There is an important matter that we need to discuss together. Gather in the A3 conference hall in fifteen minutes."

"Aunt..." Kiana stared at the familiar figure on the virtual screen and pursed her lips, "But...if I leave the bridge, if the captain comes back, won't there be no one to greet him?"

Although this bridge is nominally the observation and control center of the Hyperion, and the captain has always been accustomed to issuing orders to the Hyperion's members from this place, the symbolic significance of this bridge has far exceeded its practical significance since the captain of the Hyperion mobilized all his members and used the Herrscher core to carry out a large-scale transformation of the Hyperion a long time ago.

Kiana knew that even if she occasionally neglected her duties, no one would blame her for it, but she didn't want to see a bridge with only cold instruments when the captain returned.

Kiana's thoughts could not be hidden from Theresa's eyes. She sighed and said faintly: "Half an hour ago, Aponia received a message from the captain in a parallel world. Even so, are you unwilling to leave the bridge?"

"Captain's message!?" Kiana's eyes widened bigger than bells. Her expression became excited at a speed visible to the naked eye. She answered Theresa's words without hesitation, "Conference Hall A3? I'll be there right away!!"

The moment the words fell, Kiana's body disappeared.

"He actually used the power of the Herrscher of the Void, and there are still fifteen minutes before the meeting starts... Is there any need to be so anxious?" In the A3 conference hall, Theresa, who had already taken the second seat at the huge round table in the conference room, looked at Kiana's disappearing figure in the communication terminal and couldn't help but be speechless.

The next second, three dark holes appeared out of thin air in front of Theresa's eyes, and three pretty figures with white hair anxiously jumped out of the holes.

Following closely behind were their different styles of asking, but none of them could conceal their anxious voices:

"Aunt! Where is the Captain?!"

"Aunt, what happened to the captain? Why did Aponya receive the captain's message in the parallel world?"

"Human! Where the hell did you hide my servants?!"

As if they noticed something, the three white-haired girls who came to the meeting room closed their mouths at the same time as the three voices, which were either reckless, calm, or arrogant, just fell. They looked at each other in bewilderment.

The three white-haired girls stared blankly at each other's beautiful faces that were exactly the same as their own, and felt a sense of absurdity as if they saw themselves in the mirror suddenly breaking the mirror.

"who are you?"

"who are you?"

"who are you?"

Clap, clap, clap, accompanied by a three-beat clapping sound, three girls with exactly the same appearance turned their puzzled and confused eyes to Theresa, who obviously knew something, and couldn't help but ask:

"Aunt, what's going on?"

"Aunt, what's going on?"

"Human, what is going on?"

"Although I've long thought that there would always be such a day in the future, however, at this moment, the culprit who caused all this is not here..." Theresa sighed tiredly. Just as she was about to explain, the door of the conference room was opened with a click.

"If you are helpless when faced with such a simple problem, you are not qualified to be a leader." Theresa's voice was exactly the same, with undisguised mockery and disdain.

Standing at the door and opening the conference room door was a girl who looked almost exactly like Theresa. She held a feather fan in her hand and walked forward with a noble and majestic aura, and came to the seat to Theresa's right, and calmly sat down under Theresa's glaring eyes.

The man looked at Theresa with a look of extreme disdain, then looked at the three white-haired girls whose eyes were about to have circles, and said as if he didn't want to be misunderstood:

"I am a stargazer. Unlike you, I am not the parallel world counterpart of the person in the second seat. However, the current situation is special, and I do not have the leisure to argue with outsiders. For the time being, I will agree with that guy's decision and follow your orders."

"If you don't want to quarrel, you shouldn't have said that." Theresa glared at the girl named Stargazer, and couldn't help shrinking her neck under the other's gaze. "Forget it, I don't want to quarrel at this time."

"As for you guys." Theresa looked at the three white-haired girls who were obviously in a state of confusion, pointed to the empty seats at the round table, and said, "There will be many more situations like yours in the future, and I don't want to explain them all one by one. Anyway, find a seat and sit down first. When the servants are here, I will explain everything you want to know."

Theresa said.

"Whether it's about you or about the captain."

Chapter 1: Traveling through the Collapsed World with a Cell Phone

Today is the one hundred and forty-first day since I came to Changkong City, and it is also New Year's Day of 2014.

I don’t know how much time is left before this city becomes a dead city.

2014.1.1——Li Shubai.

At the beginning of the morning, Li Shubai, who had just woken up from a dream, closed his diary and stood up from the desk.

The winter morning was colder than expected. Li Shubai opened the bedroom door, dragged his still sleepy body to the bathroom, and washed his face with ice-cold water.

Halfway through washing his face, he raised his head as if he sensed something, looked at his pale and wet cheeks in the mirror, and the corners of his mouth formed a somewhat stiff, mocking arc.

"What an ugly face..."

In fact, Li Shubai's appearance is definitely not ugly, as can be seen from the fact that he received more than one love letter when he was in school some time ago.

Of course, after what happened two months ago, Li Shubai never received any love letter again.

He had no complaints about his appearance, but at this moment, his expression filled with repression and confusion made him feel how disgusting and embarrassed he was by the person in the mirror.

After washing up, Li Shubai changed into sportswear, put on headphones, opened the door, and started jogging in the cold winter breeze in the early morning.

The sun was rising, and it was sunny outside. Today was a cloudless day, and the flawless blue sky made people feel happy. However, because it was the New Year's Day holiday, the surrounding area was quite quiet, and there was no one on the road. Perhaps everyone was still dreaming beautiful dreams.

I don’t know how long this peaceful and comfortable scene can last.

After exercising, Li Shubai returned home. The whole room was silent, like a silent cage, imprisoning his soul.

He took two loaves of bread he had bought last night from the refrigerator in the kitchen, poured himself a glass of water, tore open the bread wrapper with his teeth, then returned to the bedroom as if he knew his way around it and opened a storage box that he had locked.

Inside the storage box is a smartphone and a charger.

"You are the only one who can stay with me at a time like this."

Li Shubai ate the bread with cold water and used his other clean hand to press and hold the power button of the phone to turn it on. Soon, the screen of the phone lit up, and a robot pattern combining a circle and a square appeared in the center of the screen.

An Android smartphone with Chinese as the main language is probably the only evidence Li Shubai has to prove that he is not an aboriginal.

After all, there is no Android system here, and the language used in this city called Changkong City is not Chinese.

He turned on his phone and glanced at the upper right corner of the screen without expectation. As he expected, the signals of both mobile networks were zero. Even if there was a signal, considering that his mobile phone number had not been recharged for nearly half a year, the mobile signal company would not be able to continue to provide service.

Although the WiFi network can be used normally, even if it is connected to the local network, he cannot log in to the communication software that he is very familiar with.

However, he didn't expect...

With a nostalgic look in his eyes, he clicked on an icon on his phone.

...Even after coming to this world, mhy's Honkai Impact 3rd can still be started normally.

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching sound, Li Shubai entered the main interface of Honkai Impact 3rd.

The familiar bridge, the familiar Herrscher of the Fire, and even the dress skin of Shili Zhuguang. Click the bubble in the upper right corner, and the pleasant and steady voice will sound.

"Just like this, the fire came out." The beautiful figure on the screen snapped her fingers with a playful expression, "Herrser, it's amazing, isn't it?"

"..."

What is this? I am playing Honkai Impact 3rd in Changkong City? Li Shubai thought with a subtle expression.

He suddenly recalled what happened two months ago. Raiden Ryoma was sentenced to life imprisonment for suspected forgery of financial certificates. His parents - his parents in this world were also implicated and thrown into prison. Because of this incident, his reputation among his classmates plummeted. His original friends distanced themselves from him, and the girls who liked him pretended not to know him.

If the boy's soul and memory had not been secretly stolen, perhaps, under such a heavy blow, this unfortunate boy would never have recovered.

"That's good... at least I don't have to spend time studying this boy's original interpersonal relationships."

By the way, I traveled to this world, which is still in the Far East based on Japan... My name is still Li Shubai, and from the appearance point of view, there is no change except that I am a little younger...

...Are there really such coincidences in this world?

No, since such an unscientific thing as time travel has already happened, the so-called probability theory should not be fully believed. Li Shubai's mind became erratic, and his originally depressed and confused mood was slightly dispelled.

However, if that’s the case... could this cell phone that I brought from my original world be my so-called “golden finger”?

"Tsk... I started thinking about such unrealistic things without paying attention." Shaking his head, Li Shubai drove the useless thoughts out of his brain.

If you have unrealistic expectations from the beginning, in the end, you will often be the only one disappointed and hurt.

It was also for this reason that even though he came to this world, to this city called Changkong City, and because of the relationship with the parents of this world, he had a chance encounter with Raiden Mei, but he had never taken the initiative to go to Qianyu Academy to look for her until now. Instead, he chose to silently train his body, striving to be able to die more gracefully in the impending collapse...?

Well, although it may seem a bit pessimistic to say this, Li Shubai also knows that his mentality has not been very good since he found out that he had traveled through time.

He had his own family, his own life, and even a career of his own. However, all of this was destroyed by a sudden time travel.

Although he was afraid of the possible death that was about to happen, and felt a little guilty for not responding to the horrific disaster he knew was going to happen, and for the people who were about to die in this city, Li Shubai, who had also lost everything, had already "died" from the moment he traveled through time.

"No, it's not a crime to complain occasionally, but even if you think about the original guy, you can't just die like this."

After sorting himself out, Li Shubai once again focused his attention on the bridge on the phone screen, but suddenly froze.

【V5.7 "Song of Deep Sin" updated.

Welcome to patch 5.7 - "Song of the Deepest Sin"!

——The new S-rank character “Discipline: The Threshold of Deep Sin” appears!

——New SP character "Golden Radiant Song" appears! 】

"Version update? Why at this time..."

Li Shubai suddenly came to his senses.

Yes, although Honkai Impact 3rd looks like a stand-alone game, it is still an online game that requires a connection to the server to log in.

In this case, it is natural that if the server and client versions do not match, they will need to be updated.

But...why is it so sudden now?

Also, what's going on with these two characters?

He knew Eden, one of the thirteen heroes who bore the golden mark, a charming older sister artist, but this Aponiya... Discipline? Aponiya of Discipline?

Has the plot of the Land of the Past reached this point? With this thought in mind, Li Shubai clicked the update button.

Then there was a half-hour wait.

After the update was completed and the game was restarted as usual, Li Shubai re-entered the game interface.

"Hiss... this character, mhy's artist is really YYDS..."
