I ruined Tyra.

Just as it was tapping the clock with its fins out of boredom, the white light it had been longing for finally lit up, and a figure with hands raised high gradually took shape.

Seeing this figure, the emperor, who was originally somewhat expectant, curled his lips, retracted his gaze and continued to appreciate his carefully collected music.

After the white light faded, a masked but excited man came out shouting.

"There's a loud bang in the sky! The Devil Destroyer Dragon makes a brilliant appearance! I'm DDD!"

DDD cheered for a while with his index fingers pointed to the sky, but when he didn't get the expected applause, he couldn't help but open his eyes and glanced at the conference room.

"Emperor? Are you the only one in such a large conference room?"

The emperor took off his headphones and pulled his sunglasses down a little. He glanced at DDD with his dead fish eyes and then put on his sunglasses again.

Then it leaned forward from the chair so that its left fin could support its chin. Its right fin helplessly slumped towards DDD and said:

"In fact, you should be the third one to arrive here. I'm not sure who is behind you."

After the emperor finished saying this, the space next to him suddenly fluctuated, and Xiao Mo was teleported back with a pot of boiled tea. He skillfully poured a cup of tea for the emperor and himself, and then poured a cup of tea for DDD, who originally wanted to ask who the second one was. Xiao Mo then put down the teapot and took a sip from his own cup.

At the same time, the Originium skill was activated, and Xiao Mo disappeared into the space from behind the emperor with a smile.

DDD first thanked Xiao Mo very politely, then he picked up the teacup somewhat dejectedly and drank it in small sips through the gap in his mask.

After finishing half the cup, DDD asked the emperor:

"Emperor, do you know why the God of Music called us here? I was originally working on an exciting piece of music, but when I received the call, I immediately dropped everything I was doing and rushed over here."

The emperor was about to say something when several new white lights interrupted him.

After the light faded, several Agor people dressed in distinctive styles came out cautiously. They looked at the Emperor and DDD who were staring at them, and asked timidly:

"Emperor, DDD, good morning, are we not late?"

"No, you came at the right time. In fact, we just got here too." DDD responded first.

"Oh~ The Austen Band. Now there are three music creators with very different styles. It seems that this call should be for the purpose of jointly creating a great musical work." The emperor made his judgment.

After hearing this topic that all musicians would be interested in, the members of the AUS band no longer cared about being confused, but excitedly joined in the discussion. For them, music is their favorite thing.

Just when they were discussing the recently released and completely unorthodox "Daydaydream" intensely, a voice interrupted their argument.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your musical exchange, but the meeting is about to begin. Please take your seats."

Le had arrived at the conference room without knowing when and sat at the top seat with a pile of documents in front of him.

Everyone followed Le's words and sat in their seats, but their eyes were always focused on the pile of information.

Dan has even started asking Aya and Frost through the AUS band's exclusive channel if they know what's in it.

"It looks like we are late. I'm sorry, Lord Le." Just after they sat down, two more white lights came on, and then Hermann and his secretary Kroning walked out of the white light. They were stunned for a moment when they looked at everyone present, as if they did not expect to be so late, and then they quickly apologized.

"No, Mr. Herman is always very punctual. There are still a few minutes before the meeting officially starts." Le glanced at the time on the communicator and comforted Herman, who was a little panicked.

Herman was, after all, an experienced politician, and he quickly adjusted his mood. He looked at everyone present and said speculatively, "All those who came here are familiar faces in the music industry, and they invited us here. Could it be that Lord Le is here for the upcoming Xiosta Music Festival?"

"That's right, Mr. Hermann. The Arknights game is about to hold a summer event. It's an honor that your Xiosta Music Festival has been selected." Le sorted out the information in his hand and then distributed it to everyone present.

Hermann and Kroening, feeling uneasy, quickly read the information after receiving it. After a long time, Hermann, who had finished reading all the information, sighed.

"Alas, if it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. I didn't expect that I still couldn't protect the city of me and her." Hermann said with some sadness, then leaned back in the chair and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

Kronin was already starting to panic. Although the information didn't mention his specific information, as Xiosta's messenger and secretary, as well as the mastermind behind the secret mining of obsidian from Xiosta volcano, he could guess with his feet that the Xiosta volcanic eruption might be related to him.

The Emperor has lifted his sunglasses and widened his eyes. As a regular guest of the Xiosta Music Festival, he has always regarded this event as an important way to promote his rap art. But now he has to be told that he has one less opportunity to spread great art in the future?

The Deep Sea quartet has already begun to exchange information secretly. After they promoted their first album "Dark Colors in the Sea" in Xiosta last year and received rave reviews, they also regarded the Xiosta Music Festival as an important stage. Naturally, they do not want to see the performance stage destroyed.

Not to mention DDD, who once became popular in his own city through social networks, but performed exceptionally well at the Xiosta Music Festival, and his popularity spread to nearby cities and forces. His work once became the most popular song among messengers that year, which can be said to be a miracle in the history of intercity networks.

The three music branches that were summoned naturally thought of this. They all raised their heads and looked at Le, waiting for the other party to give them a positive answer.

“Everyone here has an inseparable relationship with the Xiosta Music Festival, so this time we invite you to join us in warming up for the Xiosta Music Festival. While you attract attention, we will lead people to deal with Xiosta’s problems in advance.

I hope that by then, all players, residents and tourists of Xiosta will have an unforgettable summer. We will also introduce new operators, but their identities still need to be determined by you. "

When Le said this, he looked at Hermann who was listening attentively, and the others followed Le's gaze and looked at Hermann.

Herman subconsciously looked around, then raised his right hand with some doubt and pointed his index finger at himself.

"Yes, this event is planned to make your two daughters become new operators of Arknights. I wonder if you have any objection."

Hermann picked up the communicator upon hearing this. As a mayor and businessman, he was happy to let his daughters Ceylon and Hei serve as Xiosta's image ambassadors.

But he is more of a father.

For this kind of thing, it would be better for Ceylon and Hei to choose.

Chapter 103 Artist Selection

Just when the Terrans were busy clearing out the newly released Chernobog ruins and overgrown grass in the city of Lungmen, Zhou quietly released a new update trailer.

But this cannot escape the sight of those idle players. They are even bored to the point of completing all the daily updates of the arena. Those strategy groups are even studying how to refine the main gameplay and find better solutions.

The five major strategy groups including SilverAsh's Kalan, Wei Yanwu's Black Sandalwood, Kresten's Rhine Life, the Tower of Babel formed by the forcibly awakened Doctor, and the Peak Project organized by the second brother stood out and became the best.

So when an update announcement comes out, they spread the word and jointly study the new activities as soon as possible.

"Special Address Book #2

1: New event story [Heart of Fire and Blue], event level opened.

The Obsidian Festival is about to begin, get ready for the craziest festival yet!

Beneath the day and night revelry in Xiosta City, there is a hidden vortex of conspiracy.

Sunshine, beaches, and rising waves, this will be a new battlefield for Rhodes Island!"

The following is the content of this event:

[Late Summer Night Watchman] Limited time search opens:

New operators added: six-star sniper operator Black, five-star medical operator Ceylon, five-star support operator Glaucus, and four-star medical operator Susulo.

......

2: [Long-cast Dust Iron] Limited-time search opens:

New operators added: six-star guard operator Hellagur, five-star guard operator Xingji, and four-star vanguard operator Gold Digger.

......

For more event content, please continue to pay attention to the in-game announcements, official website, and forums of Arknights. "

After watching this update preview, some were happy while others were sad. For example, Rosalina and Chen Huijie, they were staring at the swords in Hellagur and Xingji's hands and silently calculating the resources they had on hand to draw cards, especially General Hellagur's, which they could not miss. After all, General Hellagur had already made a name for himself in the arena list with his exquisite swordsmanship.

'At this moment, the old man who was drinking tea with Zhongyue showed a smug smile when he saw a bunch of people on the forum discussing about drawing his operator image through the communicator. It was worth it that he had carefully instructed the painter Xi to carefully draw his portrait, as well as the combat experience and skill usage techniques he had recorded.

While the eldest brother seemed to be drinking tea, he was already muttering in his heart that his little sister seemed to be quite homely and didn't like to talk, but what she liked most was to hear others praise her as a great painter, and he even wanted to hear it several times.

When she heard Herag praised the other person as a great painter, the eleventh sister smiled smugly, but she was shocked. At that time, her elder brother, who happened to come to Herag to have tea with the Patriot, was shocked. '

Hermann was also staring at the update preview in a daze. Although he had been reminded that General Hellagur's card pool would be behind his two daughters, he still felt a little angry when he saw that the other party had sucked away the popularity that originally belonged to his two daughters.

Are his two daughters not cute enough? Especially Hei, who is proficient in assassination and security tasks and can also make a cup of black tea for him. How cute and well-behaved she is.

Poor Hermann has yet to realize how heart-wrenching his eldest daughter, Kuro, will say in the Operator's voice logs, especially when she reaches E2.

Terra players are excited about the upcoming event, and what makes them even more excited is that the warm-up event for Xiosta has already begun. They only need to take a short break to update, and they can listen to songs by the Great Emperor, DDD and Sunset at the same time in the game, and then choose their favorite singer to support each other.

After reading the update announcement, Jijing couldn't wait to exit the game and prepare for the flash update. He wanted to support his favorite band Sunset Passing as soon as possible.

Unable to bear it any longer, Thorn directly opened the nutrition capsule in reality (the Extreme Nutrition Capsule authorized Thorn to open it), pulled the other party out of the loading game interface in the small dark room, then grabbed Extreme's collar and slapped him twice to wake him up.

The band selection activity will not be available until it is updated at 4 a.m. the next day. He doesn’t understand why Jijing is in such a hurry now, as it’s not even 4 p.m. yet.

The three musicians involved also announced on the forum that they would release new songs. While warming up for the Xiosta event, they also started to solicit votes and called on their fans to mobilize their connections to vote for them.

Although the musicians seem to get along harmoniously, when faced with such a thing, who doesn't have the desire to compete and the confidence that they will win?

Among them, the Great Emperor stands out. He has already called on Penguin Logistics to make full use of his markets in Columbia, Longmen and Letania.

Soon, it was the next day, and the Terra players who were relatively free were already online, preparing to see if there were any good things.

Just as they clicked into the Flame Blue Heart warm-up, they saw the prompt for the band selection interface.

“After entering the event for the first time, please choose one of the three artists, Sunset Passing, DDD, and The Great, as your supporting artist. This choice will affect:

·Background music played on the activity interface;

The theme color of the Gachapon machine interface, and the "Obsidian Dynamics" content extracted from it;

The last band-exclusive furniture of the Xiosta Obsidian Milestone.

The selection interface will provide music samples for reference after selecting the corresponding artist interface, and confirm whether to select again. Once decided, the supported artist cannot be changed. "

After seeing this prompt, most of the players who were just playing around started to think. Except for the fans who made their choice without hesitation, the rational players listened to the music demos and prepared to choose their favorite style as the game activity theme song and main interface.

The three artists released the songs “Alive Until Sunset”, “DDD” and “Emperor” respectively.

After listening to the three works, the players have made up their minds and started to choose to support one of the artists.

Then those who chose the band Sunset Passing saw that the red-haired Liberi had become the first fan to support AUS. Behind him, an Agor who was forced to choose this band by being pulled by the hand had covered his face in pain. He had an urge to let Jijing taste the supreme art of Iberia.

Because he was brought here before he even had the chance to listen to the demos of the other two artists, he didn't know whether he would have the chance to listen to the other two artists' works in the future.

On Yinjiao Mountain, for the sake of fairness, the six people who were summoned to the same data room sat on the sofas prepared for them and began to look nervously at the charts on the big screen with their logos under several bar charts.

And those gradually increasing columns are presenting the current players' preferences in the form of straightforward data before their eyes.

Looking at the data that were at a stalemate in speed, several people's hearts were almost beating in their throats. This was the first time they were so nervous.

(The reason for the lack of updates recently is mainly because I was busy sorting out the plot content of Heart of Flame, and by the way, I tried to write a black EP, and then chose to give up.

The more important reason is that I have taken the civil service exam for two years and have been writing essays recently. I have been addicted to writing official documents subconsciously, so I am re-correcting my writing style.)

Chapter 104 Welcome to Siesta!

Soon, the much-anticipated Heart of Flame summer event arrived.

On this day, those Terrans who had free time had already updated the new version early and were quietly waiting for the countdown at four o'clock in the afternoon.

At the new base of the Integration Movement, members of the Integration Movement, who already have a beautiful new life, have gathered early in the cafeteria they built with their own hands. They drink Shaodaozi, eat Gou Wu's side dishes, and chat and laugh while discussing about whose family has dug up stones from the field and who has made some money by doing business outside.

Tallulah and Frost Star sat at a relatively secluded table and watched the lively crowd. Even someone as cold as Frost Star couldn't help but drink a few more sips of Shaodao Liquor. Her body temperature was already normal, but her face began to turn red due to the alcohol.

Tallulah took a bite of the roasted scales. It was said in Gouwu City that this roasted scale was the favorite dish of Xi, the great painter of Arknights. This immediately attracted the attention of Alina, who was in charge of purchasing, and she bought some. Although it was not a special meal for Tallulah, Tallulah just liked to eat it.

"Shuangxing, what do you think of the surprise after the version update that Le Shen mentioned in the thank-you celebration live broadcast? I took a look at it when it was updated just now. It's a super large update package. I heard that those who are responsible for unpacking it haven't figured out the news yet."

Frost Star finished the Shaodaozi in front of her and was about to refill her cup when her hand touching the jar was held down by a big hand. She subconsciously looked back and saw a terrifying man with deer horns, looking at her quietly with his head down and red eyes.

If this happened to a normal person, they would probably be shocked.

But Frost Star was just stunned for a moment, and then was startled like a child who got up in the middle of the night to eat something and was caught by his parents.

"I remember I warned you to drink moderately, didn't I?"

"Hey~ old stubborn man, you're in such a good mood today, can you let me drink more?" Frost Star used her special weapon.

"No! Today, the version is updated, and experiencing surprises is more important!" However, it had no effect on Big Dad.

The Patriot snatched the jar of wine that Froststar was holding tightly, sat down at his seat, poured himself a full bowl, drank it all in one gulp under Froststar's dissatisfied eyes, and only spoke after filling the bowl again.

"According to Zhongyue's information, we can take a vacation this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Alina and others who had arrived late came out from behind the Patriot one after another, then sat in their seats and poured themselves a bowl of shaodaozi or juice.

"Is the news true? When I saw the trailer, I was looking forward to the sunshine, beach and waves of Xiosta for a long time.

Little Talulah, this is the first time I’ve seen the blue sea since I was a child.” Alina said expectantly while sitting next to Talulah and holding her arms.

“Guaranteed authenticity. Also, the video of the battle between Chongyue and I is expected to be released in the seventh chapter.” The old man said after eating a few bites of the Shaodaozi snack.

"Is it confirmed? Chapter seven? It seems that my ending is coming soon." Tallulah became serious after hearing the news. Because of the confidentiality mechanism, she only knew that their endings in the original plot were not good, but she was not sure what happened in detail.

"Come to think of it, I have to go to work soon too." Frost Star lay on the table a little depressed. For an Ursus girl who eats frozen liquor as candy beans, not being able to drink to her heart's content is simply the biggest torture for her.

But what is even more torturous is that she will also be an examiner for the Purgatory Mode in Chapter 6, and will soon have to work on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, just like Faust and the others.

Faust listened to their conversation silently, just sipping the juice in his glass. He was very tired and didn't want to talk. Ever since he had prepared carefully for the assessment on the first day, but was demonstrated what a challenge was by a player named Ishamara who speed-cleared it on the first day. His faith was shattered and he became more and more silent.

Only Ino was still somewhat curious and asked, "So, when will my Purgatory Mode come out? I don't think I received any notification about which chapter it will appear in."

Before he finished speaking, he saw strange looks from the Patriot, who knew part of the truth, Tallulah, and Faust, who had asked Mephistopheles about his ending in advance, which made him panic.

"So, I'm not dead, am I? When I look at myself in the plot, I think it's too much." Ino already felt that something was wrong, but he was still trying to struggle.
