I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

"enjoy?"

"Ahem! What I mean is, the sooner you buy, the cheaper it will be. You won't be able to grab a good spot later."

"This kid is just as troublesome as Kiana. Is this birds of a feather flock together?"

Himeko looked at Kurumi as if she was looking at another Kiana.

"Ah! You, you are! Teacher Himeko!"

Kurumi's eyes lit up when she saw Himeko.

"Ohhhh! It's really me!"

"Yeah, I'm not dead yet. It's not easy, right?"

Ji Zi has seen many reactions like this.

"Amazing! I thought Kiana was the only special case, but I didn't expect that all the characters in Honkai Impact 3rd would be played by the real characters themselves!"

"Master Hu, we can talk about small things later. Don't forget the purpose of this trip."

Just as Hu Tao was making a fuss, a cold and mature man came over and reminded her.

"Who is this?"

"Let me introduce you. This is Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall."

Hu Tao ran to Zhongli and said:

"Let's go find the person in charge first."

"Very good."

The two of them came to Ye Ming's office together, and Qiyana came close to Youlan Daier and whispered:

"Sister, do you think that Mr. Zhongli speaks like my dad in a slower pace?"

"So... it seems that there is a little bit."

Yulandel smiled and said:

"But father rarely speaks slowly, right? He is always rough."

·············

"Boss~~The head of Wangsheng Hall is here~~Can we...eh!?"

As soon as she entered the door, Hu Tao was startled by Ye Ming.

"So Ye Ming, you are from Mihoyo!?"

"Let me first state that I did not make that video."

Ye Ming seemed to be accustomed to such situations.

"Is that so... But even if there wasn't that fan video, I still feel like I've seen Ye Ming somewhere before."

“I feel the same way.”

The calm Zhongli showed a rare look of surprise.

"It seems that I once had an indissoluble bond with Mr. Ye Ming."

“Zhongli…”

Seeing his old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Ye Ming smiled knowingly.

"Let's talk about cooperation. As long as the effect is good, money is not a problem."

As she spoke, Walnut patted her not-so-voluptuous chest.

"Regarding this matter……"

Ye Ming first explained to Hu Tao that her original idea of ​​product placement was inappropriate and would definitely be criticized by players, and then she proposed a new plan.

“I plan to launch a cumulative consumption event. In addition to the original virtual items, when players reach the maximum cumulative consumption amount, there will be additional prizes.”

"This prize is to give a coffin to the planner of Honkai Impact 3rd, which is equivalent to players crowdfunding to buy a coffin for the planner."

"And when all the players on the server spend a certain amount of money, there will be a funeral to send the planner off."

Hu Tao immediately understood Ye Ming's intention and said excitedly:

"We at the Hall of the Dead will take care of all the prizes and funeral arrangements! There's no better advertisement than this!"

"but……"

Zhongli pondered:

“Isn’t this disrespectful to your company’s employees?”

"Don't worry, I'm the only one who planned it. Buying the coffin or arranging the funeral are all my business. It has nothing to do with them."

"Mr. Ye Ming, aren't you afraid of any taboos?"

"Haha, when you die, someone will take care of you, you can be buried in a coffin, and you can be sent off by others. Such a happy thing, I don't think it's a taboo."

As he spoke, a trace of sorrow flashed across Ye Ming's eyes, which had originally been full of energy.

"I've seen too many people... who could only perish in the darkness without even a chance to say goodbye, let alone a funeral."

"Ye Ming..."

Ye Ming's words made Hu Tao's heart tremble, and tears began to well up in her plum blossom eyes.

"A confidant! I finally...finally found a confidant who understands me!"

She threw herself into Ye Ming's arms and said in a tone of regret that we had met too late:

"From now on, we are half-brothers and half-sisters!"

58. Ye Ming: I am a good man with a knife

Front row tip: The main storyline order of the game arranged by Ye Ming is slightly different from the original, and it is not alternating.

First there is the line of Bronya and Seele, and then Kiana.

·

·

"From now on, we are half-brothers and half-sisters!"

"You are the one who issued this brother-sister card, just don't regret it."

"Oh? Regret?"

Hu Tao didn't know how big a mistake she had made. She just kept holding Ye Ming tightly and was unwilling to let go for a long time.

"I never thought that Mr. Ye Ming, at such a young age, would have such knowledge and experience. It's really amazing."

Zhongli did not hide his admiration at all.

"In addition to this collaboration, I would like to add your characters to the game. What do you think?"

"Yeah! That sounds like fun!"

"I have no objection."

After the matter was settled, Zhongli saw Hu Tao still hugging Ye Ming and stepped forward to remind her:

"Should Master Hu let Ye Ming go?"

"Hey~~ Let me hold you for a while!"

Hu Tao is the head of a hall after all, so he naturally understands that his behavior is not appropriate.

But from the moment she threw herself into Ye Ming's arms, she was like a cat entering bed in winter, and she was unwilling to let go.

"Let me... hold you for a while..."

At some point, Kurumi's hands began to clench tighter and tighter, as if she would never be able to grasp again if she let go.

Ye Ming didn't say anything and just let her hold on until Hu Tao turned back into the energetic girl she usually was.

After the matter was settled, Ye Ming did motion capture for the two of them.

In the end, Kurumi covered her red face and ran out without saying a word. Seeing this, Jiko almost crushed the cup of water in her hand.

That night, the topic of Honkai Impact 3rd's cumulative sales being a death sentence for the planner became a hot search topic.

Now it's not just Tencent that is confused. All game-related professionals are dumbfounded. They rack their brains but can't think of such a promotional method.

"Are Mihoyo's planners really not afraid of this?"

"Isn't it too hard to make money?"

"I think Tencent has nothing to say about this now."

"How can I play this game when I meet a crazy opponent?"

On the other side, in the Tencent office, the lady’s face turned pale when she saw Mihoyo’s horrible marketing strategy.

"Isn't it just to attend the funeral of the planner? We're coming too!"

"Wait! Director, calm down!"

"We don't want to die!"

··················

"Everyone, long time no see~~ I am back again, as lovely as a flower."

That night, Alicia started live streaming again after a long time.

She is always so casual. There is never a fixed standard for when to start broadcasting or how long to broadcast.

After all, this is just one of Alicia's ways to spread beauty to the world, not her profession.

[Ailixia, we have been waiting for your sharp comments on Ye Ming]

[Yes, although it was already a matter of the previous version]

"Haha, I'm not really interested in that kind of video."

[But it's really well done, Alysia, are you sure you don't want to take a look? ]

"I'm here to bring joy to everyone. Wouldn't it be a pity if I only focused on Ye Ming?"

[That’s right! Don’t worry about Ye Ming! ]

[Aliceia is the best! 】

[Alicea still loves the world after all]

Alicia has this kind of magic, she can always make people think in the way she wants.

Everyone was praising Alicia's philanthropy, but no one noticed that Ye Ming had attracted Alicia's attention away.

"By the way, has everyone played the new version? The story of the twin Seele rescuing Bronya is really great~!"

Alicia held her face and said happily:

"As expected! Beautiful girls can do anything."

[Hehe, when I saw this part, I knew Alicia would like it]

[Alicea likes it, I like it too, let’s get close to Alicea]

"The next step is Kiana's story. She will surely get better just like Bronya did."

With such expectations, Alicia and countless viewers in the live broadcast room started a new chapter at the same time.

Kiana, who is wandering in Sky City, is exhausted both physically and mentally because of her past suffering. When she is distracted or falls into painful memories, the Herrscher Gesserin will gain the upper hand again.

In this endless cycle, Fu Hua's power is constantly weakening, and it is difficult for her to maintain her resistance against Xilin's consciousness.

"..."

【…】

The barrage and Alicia fell silent.

Kiana's expression and eyes were exactly the same as Ye Ming's when he traveled through time countless times.

With Ye Ming’s previous experience as a lesson, everyone knows, even without the plot, that Kiana is on the verge of collapse at this time.

No one really wants to see the tragedy that happened to Ye Ming happen again to Kiana.
