Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

However, this can also be regarded as the reuse of art resources, which is very reasonable. For players who also open two accounts, they can also play with memes, so why not do it?

At least Wang Xuanqiao was happy after accepting it, and he deliberately glanced at the white-haired ball with a frown beside him.

Kiana:?

"Manager." She suddenly spoke, "If... If I am a new personality born from the Herrscher of the Sky, then I... Why was I born?"

"Well," Wang Xuanqiao stroked his chin. "If you're asking what the truth is, I really don't know. But if I were to guess, it's most likely a reset."

"Reset?" Kiana touched her head and felt that she had used her brain a lot today.

"Because the Herrscher of the Void appeared before you were born. You must know this. After all, I saw you enter the archives of St. Freya Academy at that time, so you can be said to have personally experienced the Second Collapse." Wang Xuanqiao recalled the plot of the snowfield, extracted information from it and explained.

"The Herrscher of the Void once showed me the moment of my birth. She said... I was a clone created by Bishop Otto. It was only after the Herrscher core was implanted that I truly came to life."

When discussing these memories, Kiana's tone was still unable to conceal the sadness. This was also normal. When a person's self-existence is strongly questioned or even denied, those with weak wills will either go crazy or become confused.

But now that Kiana is willing to face it, it means that she has the strength to overcome all of this.

Or maybe she has always had it, but she was just in a hurry and forgot about it.

"So, if we were to trace your origins back to your personality, then you're most likely the Herrscher of the Void, or her original self. That girl... who harbored no ill will towards the world and who also yearned for its kindness."

At this point, Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but think of Silent Hill's hysterical Xilin. It was obvious that she must have experienced something truly terrible in her past. However, this wasn't reason to forgive her. When she went from victim to perpetrator, the pitiful person completely transformed into a hateful one.

"Maybe you can try to understand her past self, or try to get to know yourself again."

After saying that, Wang Xuanqiao suddenly had an idea.

For someone with this kind of treasure, the rewards of exploring themselves are enormous. So, why not let Kiana, combined with the game "Honkai Impact 3rd", walk the path she once walked?

Anyway, there is a limit to her physical strength. If she doesn't spend money to buy physical strength, her daily progress will be the same. There is no need to worry about her accidentally seeing the "prophecy".

Hey! It actually seems feasible! The more Wang Xuanqiao thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. If combined with the rewards for clearing Silent Hill, wouldn't Kiana take off immediately?

"...Manager? What's with that expression on your face?" The white-haired ball suddenly felt a tingling sensation on the back of his neck, and he felt a little panicked for some reason.

Volume 028: : Become a Collapse Scientist!

Personality struggle is actually a very subtle thing.

Even during his time in the samsara realm, Wang Xuanqiao hadn't seen many. The most recent instance he remembered was in a mental hospital where a patient had been deformed by human experimentation, gaining some strange power and developing a completely new personality.

The result is that this boss has three personalities in his body: one crazy, one not crazy, and one completely insane. Normal people would probably think that the insane personality is dominant, but in fact, the crazy personality firmly holds control of the body.

Because the crazy personality thinks that neither the insane personality nor the normal personality is cool enough as him, he should be the real master.

The reason why Wang Xuanqiao still remembers it so clearly is that he and his teammates at the time all misjudged the dominance of the personality, so that they fought desperately to help the crazy personality gain the upper hand, and they almost got wiped out there.

It’s funny to think about it now. It was a personality that was clearly born for great power, but in the end it was firmly suppressed by another personality because it was considered not cool enough.

But even though Kiana doesn't seem to be very smart, she is at least a normal person. She certainly can't do such an incredible thing.

Therefore, in order to ensure her victory in the competition with the Herrscher of the Void, Wang Xuanqiao believed that the only way was to make her clearly aware of who the real Herrscher of the Void was.

The reason why Sirin is currently in a dominant position, besides the "crutch" of Honkai Energy, is that she has destroyed the anchor that Kiana set for herself. In fact, if we compare our own self-perceptions, Sirin may not necessarily win over Kiana.

Just like the long-standing battle between Banner and Hulk, it was finally completely resolved after Dr. Banner realized that Hulk was him and he was Hulk.

The crutches of Honkai energy can be eliminated by earning rewards from Silent Hill, while the battle of self-awareness can be assisted by playing Honkai Impact 3rd. The more Wang Xuanqiao analyzed, the more he felt like a genius.

We've helped Kiana gain so many advantages, how could she lose? She can't lose!

If I really lose, I will just rush into her world and release the Honkai energy.

Just do it!

"Kiana, let's play Honkai Impact 3rd." Wang Xuanqiao stood up from his seat. "In order to defeat the Herrscher of the Void as soon as possible, you must become a Honkai Impact 3rd expert as soon as possible!"

Kiana:?

"Manager, I clearly understand every word you say, why can't I understand when you put them together?" The white-haired ball looked confused.

"Besides, didn't you say that we shouldn't open the Book of Prophecy if we're not mentally prepared?"

"Why don't you just not look at the parts you don't know?" Wang Xuanqiao looked at Kiana with a strange expression. "Besides, this game has now been upgraded to 2.0. There are many things you won't understand even if you see them."

"I don't believe it. How could I not understand it?"

"It's about Mars. Do you understand it?"

"There are people on Mars!?"

"You see."

So the two of them happily reached a consensus.

However, getting Kiana to play Honkai Impact 3rd requires another set of equipment. Not only a phone, but also an account to log in to the game. And accounts... require an authenticated identity.

Is there a way to give Kiana an identity in this world? Or should I take her to the police station to register her household registration?

Are you kidding? How is that possible?

Wang Xuanqiao decided to go shopping again to buy a new set of equipment and a new phone card. Considering that Kiana might stay at the store, he might also need to buy some women's clothing.

So, I have to take Kiana out on the street?

It's not impossible. At best, others would think it was a cosplayer, or even "act as yourself," earning praise for their professionalism.

"I'm going out to buy some things. Do you want to go with me?" Wang Xuanqiao asked directly.

"Ah? This... let's not do that." Although Kiana refused, her hesitation betrayed her true thoughts.

"If you don't come, I can still take care of daily necessities, but I can't help you with personal care items." Wang Xuanqiao looked at her, "You'll definitely have to stay here for a while. If you buy something online, it will take until tomorrow to be delivered at the earliest."

"...Okay then." Kiana also stood up from her seat, "I'll remember my expenses and pay you back when I get back!"

"Come on, I can't use your currency here." Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but smile. "It's just a few small coins. If you want to pay me back, come play games more often and help me earn some points. When I want to expand the game hall someday, I'll have to rely on you to earn points."

Kiana nodded, and secretly decided in her heart that after she had dealt with her own affairs, she would have fun here all night!

No...why does it sound like I made a profit?

Oh my God, is the store manager really an angel?

Wang Xuanqiao didn't know the white-haired girl was starting to admire him. He spent some time linking his bank card to the popular "Huaqianbao" before taking Kiana out to the street.

Kiana still has a little fear of public places like streets. The shadow left by the huge change is indeed impossible to completely heal in an instant.

"Don't be so nervous." Wang Xuanqiao deliberately walked forward so that he could stay in Kiana's sight. "I'm here to support you. You can relax a little."

She wasn't an introvert; she simply feared bringing harm to innocent people. Wang Xuanqiao had already demonstrated convincing strength, and with his words, Kiana finally felt relieved.

While it couldn't compare to bustling commercial areas, the street they were walking on was still filled with the atmosphere of life. The thriving scene gradually eased Kiana's frayed nerves, and she began to curiously survey the scenery on both sides.

She was looking around, and passers-by also cast curious glances at her.

Wang Xuanqiao could even hear people whispering.

"Is that a bug?"

"Of course I am. You don't recognize the White Armor?"

"But shouldn't Bai Lian have two long braids?"

"You're a fake fan, I can tell. Her hair is in CG."

Kiana naturally overheard the conversation, and subconsciously ran a hand through her hair, tempted to tie it back into her double braids. However, being on the street, and not in a work environment, she decided to leave her hair down.

It's been a long time since I tied my hair. Kiana suddenly felt a little sad.

Even when I was wandering around as a child, I always insisted on tying my hair into two braids every day.

Dad, if I didn’t have pigtails anymore, would you still recognize me? She couldn’t help but think.

At this time, a hairpin was handed to her.

"Want it?"

Kiana then noticed that, in a split second, she had followed the store manager to a stall selling small accessories. She looked at the hairpin Wang Xuanqiao had handed her; it was ordinary, nothing special, just a cat face as decoration.

"...Thank you." Kiana smiled gently, took the hairpin, tied up her hair, and tied it into a ponytail with the hairpin.

Volume 029: : The Shoulders of the Chinese People

After taking Kiana shopping, Wang Xuanqiao, as expected, brought home bags full of goods.

It wasn't that Kiana wanted a lot; in fact, she chose very few things, and she carried them all herself. Wang Xuanqiao's bags were all his revenge purchases, including things like the Pierce V and VR, but no Sweep, because after all these years, there had been no updates, making it unworthy of purchase!

Besides electronic devices for gaming, there were also various fresh ingredients. Since Kiana was staying with him, it was impossible for her to eat instant noodles every day. Wang Xuanqiao's innate sense of hospitality wouldn't allow him to do such a thing.

After the two returned to the game room, it was already evening. Seeing that there were no new guests, Wang Xuanqiao took Kiana upstairs and let her choose a room to rest.

He himself planned to practice cooking with the ingredients he had just bought.

Ingredients like beef naturally need to be marinated and then grilled to get the most authentic taste.

Ingredients like fish need to be steamed with scallions, ginger and cooking wine, then served with soy sauce, and finally a splash of hot oil to stimulate the aroma.

For ingredients like pork, it is necessary to add various spices and stew them to allow the aroma to blend into the meat bit by bit.

This was Wang Xuanqiao's first time cooking for someone else. He remembered clearly that after his grandparents, who had taken care of him, passed away, he'd only cooked instant noodles and vegetables when he went into the kitchen. Just as he was about to become legally independent, he was dragged back into the reincarnation realm.

I can only say that fortunately, most Chinese people have a talent for cooking in their genes.

Just as Wang Xuanqiao was humming a little tune and watching the fire, Fu Hua appeared in the kitchen again.

"This pot of beef has too much marinade." She walked over to the counter, looked at the beef in the pot and said, "It only needs green onions, ginger slices and cooking wine, and at most a sprinkle of salt. You put too much spices, and in the end it will taste like spices."

Wang Xuanqiao:?

"You came here just to tell me this?" He looked at Fu Hua with a questioning look.

"I came to thank you for taking care of Kiana," she said, "but seeing this... I can't help it."

"Okay." Wang Xuanqiao shook his head. "This is my first time cooking. My method is based on memory and a little imagination, so it's inevitable that it will be different from others."

"If you want to learn how to cook, I can teach you." Fu Hua's tone was sincere.

"...You don't have to watch over Kiana anymore?" Wang Xuanqiao was speechless. What was wrong with this guy? Was he talking about that?

"Not for now. Since you took her out to the streets, her condition has become more stable. Although I don't know what Kiana went through in the game you mentioned, I can feel that her heart is no longer shaken."

If you want to keep talking, then just continue the awkward conversation.

"Then when are you going to reconcile with her?" Wang Xuanqiao turned around and continued to fiddle with the meat in the pot.

"I don't know either." Fu Hua answered simply, "I don't expect Kiana to forgive me. This is all the retribution I deserve. I just don't want...the mistakes I made to continue to hurt her."

"You don't sound like you have much regrets," Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but complain. "Although everything must be put into action, you can't just say nothing good."

"This... I don't know." Fu Hua looked embarrassed. "I'm really not very good at speaking."

"Hmm—well, it's understandable." Wang Xuanqiao sighed. "Those who have long been immersed in life-and-death struggles really can't appreciate the art of language. Every word needs to be precise and convey its true meaning."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua was stunned.

"You...know about me too?"

This time it was Wang Xuanqiao's turn to be stunned.

I was just being polite and giving her a way out, why did you suddenly bring up her affairs?

"How about this, wait for me to search." Wang Xuanqiao simply took out his mobile phone and threw Fu Hua's name into the search box.

This sight really shocked Wang Xuanqiao.

"Pre-civilization?" He turned his head and glanced at Fu Hua. "Are you someone who straddles two civilizations?"

"It's just that the lifespan of a fusion warrior is a little longer." Fu Hua shook her head. "The previous civilization collapsed and was destroyed. I was just a person who was entrusted with a mission and survived by chance."
