Thousands of fireworks, enjoy the joy from Honkai Impact 3

As a gamer, Hanabi always forgets to read the comics and novels of Honkai Impact 3rd, which also makes her lose many sources of information.

So much so that when she arrived in Changkong City, she didn't even think about where Cocolia would be. It was only now that she saw the ME Company building that she had some guesses about Cocolia's location, but she couldn't be completely sure.

Thunder in the Sky: Chapter 19: Bloody Massacre of Xilin

"What do you want to do? What's the point of a place like this where ants gather?"

Standing in front of the counter with her arms folded across her chest, Xilin frowned impatiently, her golden eyes filled with cold emotions as she scanned the noisy environment around her.

The occasional cheers and quarrels made her feel annoyed.

"Since you're here, why don't you just keep me company for a while?"

After exchanging the little cash she had left for some coins, Hua Huo returned to Xilin with a smile, holding the box full of coins.

"Hmph, clown, put yourself in your place. You have no right to be accompanied by me."

The cold golden eyes met Hua Huo's smiling face. Xilin turned her eyes away slightly, and inexplicably felt as if some kind of warmth was still lingering around her waist.

"Yes, yes, then, Your Majesty, I, a mere clown, formally challenge you to a duel. Game-Start."

Taking out a coin from the box and holding it between her index and middle fingers, Hanabi's bright red eyes met Sirin's golden eyes. She stretched out two fingers and pointed at Sirin, as if she was pretending to challenge the devil in a fantasy troupe's performance.

"Hahaha, hahaha, a challenge? To me? To the noble Queen? Very good, clown, I will let you know the price of angering me."

Grabbing the two fingers that Hanabi extended, she held the coin in her fingers tightly in her palm. Her golden eyes were filled with anger as Xilin responded to Hanabi's challenge.

So, the two beautiful girls who had attracted almost all the attention since they entered sat together in front of the nearest game console.

The flashing arcade screen reflected the faces of the two people. Hanabi had a deep smile on her face, while Xilin's face showed a hint of curiosity and the determination to win.

Insert the coin, hold the waist and buttons with both hands, and the game begins.

A few minutes later……

KO.

Two huge English letters appeared clearly on the arcade screen. Against the backdrop of the two letters KO, the figure that was sent flying by the last punch looked so miserable.

In the reflection of the arcade screen, Hanabi still had a smile on her face, but Xilin beside her was completely different from before.

Curiosity had long been swept away, and the determination to win was also shattered by the blow.

At this moment, Xilin's eyes were wide open, as if she still couldn't believe until the last moment that she had failed so completely.

He had no power to fight back and before he could even react to what was happening, the best-of-three match ended with two consecutive full-health kills.

Xilin gritted her teeth and stared at the character lying on the ground without saying a word, but it was clear from her expression how turbulent her emotions were.

"Your Majesty, are you coming again?"

Hanabi asked with a smile as she took out a few more coins from the box and handed them to Silin.

"Come."

At this moment, Xilin felt that Hua Huo's face was so dazzling. Although she hated it to begin with, she hated it so much now that she wanted to punch it directly.

Silin gritted her teeth and spat out a word. She snatched the coin from Hua Huo's hand and clumsily stuffed the coin into the coin slot according to the way Hua Huo had done before.

As the coin is inserted, the game re-enters the character selection interface.

Still shaking the controller awkwardly, Xilin selected the same character as before, and with an unconvinced look on her face, she completed the confirmation and waited to enter the battle interface.

Looking at Xilin's operation, Huahuo chuckled, skillfully chose the character, and prepared to defeat Xilin again.

Although Hanabi was not good at this kind of arcade game, she had played it before. In addition, her body had already surpassed the limits of human beings, so it was easy and simple for her to beat a newbie like Xilin who was playing the game for the first time.

The battle began, and both sides approached each other at the same time and started a fierce fight.

The two biggest characteristics of novices in arcade fighting games are that they don't know how to use big moves and don't understand the importance of defense.

Obviously, Xilin is such a novice.

So, under Hanabi's control, her character blocked Sirin's attack with a defense, and then took advantage of the moment when Sirin's attack was blocked and started to punch and kick.

Xilin, who had no idea how to deal with the attacks, was beaten again. Even though she dodged the attacks and regrouped several times, she still couldn't save herself from defeat.

A few minutes later, the familiar KO appeared in front of Xilin again.

"Come again."

This time, Xilin uttered two words without any need for Hua Huo to remind her.

He took the coin handed to him by Hanabi and put it into the coin slot a little more skillfully than last time, and the game began again.

Fail, try again, try again, fail...

Thus, the Queen's cycle of failure began.

However, she is a Herrscher after all, and Kiana's physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. With repeated failures, Sirin's skills and proficiency are growing rapidly.

From being completely unable to fight back at the beginning, he was able to fight on equal terms with Hanabi later on. Well, at least in terms of punches and kicks, he was on equal terms with Hanabi.

So, when the punch and kick attack was at a disadvantage, Hua Huo directly used his ultimate move and released a killer move with full special effects, killing Xilin instantly, who was almost on the verge of victory and thought that she would win this time.

Nearly half of the health bar was directly evaporated by the ultimate move, which made Xilin stunned for two seconds, and then her golden eyes turned and stared at Huahuo's face.

At that moment, her expression was extremely complicated, including surprise, shame, anger, unwillingness, and grievance. It was like a palette, with several emotions spread out in a fan shape.

Then, she silently turned her head, but snatched the entire box of coins that Hua Huo had placed on the table, put the coins back in, and silently started the next round of the game again.

Faintly, it felt like flames were rising behind Xilin. Was that anger? No, it was fighting spirit, Xilin's burning desire to win.

No matter what, this guy, this hateful, despicable, shameless and disgusting guy, will definitely beat her.

Time and time again, Kiana's strong physical fitness combined with Xilin's increasingly skilled operation, finally, before the game coins exchanged by Fireworks were about to be cleared.

The character controlled by Xilin blocked Hua Huo's ultimate move at the most critical moment, and the remaining blood bar was worn down to the last bit.

Seizing the moment of stiffness when releasing the ultimate move, Xilin used the fastest speed to perform the ultimate move.

KO.

The two familiar letters appeared again, but unlike the glare before, at this moment, Xilin only felt that the two letters were so pleasing to the eye.

"Hmph, nothing special. How could a mere game of ants possibly stump me?"

Thunder in the Sky: Chapter 20: The Proud Queen

"Hmph, feel the pain of failure, clown."

After experiencing countless failures, Xilin finally defeated Huabi once. At this time, Xilin no longer remembered the previous confrontation with Huabi.

Looking at Hua Huo who was sitting next to her, Xilin looked up with her nose in the air and a smug look on her face, as happy as if she had snatched a candy from a little friend.

"Yes, yes, that's really impressive, Your Majesty. But humans have more than just one kind of game. You can beat me in fighting games, but I'm not sure you can win in other games."

After losing to Xilin, Hanabi was not annoyed at all. After all, with Xilin's novice-level skills, it was impossible for her to win so quickly if Hanabi hadn't let her down a bit.

He reached out and picked up the coin box on the arcade table and shook it. The crisp sound of coins colliding told him that there were not many coins left.

A simple fighting game may not necessarily achieve Fireworks's goal. Only by allowing Xilin to be exposed to more novel and interesting things can the seeds of humanity be replanted in her heart.

The birth of the Herrscher was the result of the Honkai tearing apart the human heart, overwriting the human will with the negative emotions of despair and pain, and transforming it into a Honkai consciousness that only contained negative emotions.

But human beings are never one-sided. There is good and there is bad, there is kindness and there is evil, there is tragedy and there is comedy, there is evil and there is beauty.

Despair and pain can kill humans, but hope and beauty, warmth and emotion can also turn the Herrscher back into humans.

Because this era is different from any previous era.

Because of this era, we have received the blessings of the forerunners and the most sincere love of God’s Daughter.

After the Daughter of God blessed future humans with the gift of her love, humans born in this era were destined to create miracles.

An era where humans can defeat the Herrscher, humanity can defeat Honkai Impact, humans can fight alongside the Herrscher, and the Herrscher doesn't necessarily have to destroy humanity.

"Hmph, it's just a human game. Come on, I've mastered the game. No matter what game it is, I won't lose to you again."

As if she had not remembered the repeated failures before, when she heard what Hua Huo said, Xilin puffed out her chest proudly, as if she was ready to come forward.

So, in the following time, Huahuo and Xilin played most of the two-player games in this game city.

From competitive fighting, racing, billiards, shooting to cooperative horizontal level-breaking, first-person shooting, horizontal shooting and so on.

Ever since losing to Hanabi in the racing race again, Xilin has been completely immersed in the game. The new game and new operating methods make Xilin feel very novel.

While playing, he maintains that arrogant attitude, looking down on everyone. But when playing, he has a strong desire to win, unwilling to accept defeat, and without the skills to win, he can only accumulate experience from failure again and again, trying to find a way to turn defeat into victory.

Unfortunately, this state did not last long.

It’s not that Xilin was tired of the game or lost interest in it because of failure, it’s simply because she had no money.

Hua Huo didn't have much cash in her hands to begin with, and she had already spent a lot of the coins she had exchanged before. Later, she made several additional coin exchanges at Xilin's request.

Until now, I have finally run out of ammunition and food, and have no money to continue exchanging coins.

"You're such a useless clown. You're actually stuck because of human rules. It's just a few coins. As a Herrscher, shouldn't you be able to have as many as you want?"

With her hands folded across her chest, Xilin frowned impatiently. Her golden eyes had long lost the initial coldness, and now there was only the impatience and dissatisfaction of not being able to play the game.

"No, in the human world, rules are necessary. This is also one of the foundations of the human world's long-term prosperity."

He turned around to look at Xilin who was following him. Although he spoke impatiently and his face was visibly unhappy, the Herrscher of the Sky did not make any threatening behavior towards the humans coming and going around him.

Obviously, although her attitude has not changed, at least after playing for such a period of time, Xilin's view of humans must have changed a little. At least, she absolutely does not reject these human entertainment games.

"We are Herrschers, not ants like humans. They should be thankful that they were able to witness the Queen's glory without losing their lives. Now they want to use human rules to restrain the Queen of Collapse?"

Noticing Hanabi's gaze, Xilin paused.

Come to think of it, since when did she stop finding Hanabi's face annoying?

Could it be that I had fallen for that clown's trick again? But it didn't feel like that.

"My Queen, humans truly cannot restrain you. But you must understand that these games are humanity's greatest inventions. For humans, survival is paramount. If we can't ensure our own safety, we won't have the energy to develop new games.

It has nothing to do with human rules and existence. If Her Majesty the Queen wants to continue playing human games and wants to continue trying more novel games, human rules must exist.

Unless, Honkai Impact 3rd can also create such an interesting game."

After arriving at the bar in the game city and returning the empty coin box, Hanabi turned to look at Xilin, who was three or four meters away from her, and replied with a smile.

"Humph."

Neither agreeing nor disagreeing, facing Hua Huo's smile, Xilin just snorted coldly and looked away.

"Come on, it's time for us to leave."

Hua Huo waved to Xilin, but without checking to see if she was following him, he left the noisy playground on his own and came to the beverage machine not far from the door.

Taking out the few remaining coins from her pocket, Hanabi stuffed the coins into the beverage machine and ordered a bottle of Coke.

With a clanging sound, the Coke fell into the exit below.

Bending down to take out the Coke, Hanabi was about to put in the coins to buy the second bottle, but her hand was grabbed and she couldn't put the coins in.

"Didn't you say you had no coins? What is this? How dare you lie to me!"

The golden pupils were staring at Hua Huo with cold murderous intent. The silver coins on Hua Huo's tender white fingertips were so dazzling to Xilin.

What a big liar! He clearly still had coins, but he said he had none left. He also said a lot of nonsense that was hard to understand.

"Alas, Your Majesty, being too angry is not a good habit. This is the last of my money. I don't even have enough for dinner tonight. This is specifically for buying drinks. After playing for so long, don't you feel thirsty?"

With her right hand being grabbed and unable to move, Hua Huo decisively raised her left hand and put the cold can of Coke directly on Xilin's face.

"ah!"

Thunder in the Sky: Chapter 21: Fleeing

"ah!"

Caught off guard, a cold touch touched her face, causing Xilin to scream uncontrollably.
