A large amount of ice fell into the glass.
Making a crisp clinking sound.
The Dreamjolt jam hit the ice, causing it to bounce slightly before turning a corresponding orange-yellow color.
The streamer licked her lips.
To be honest.
The process of making this drink was really impressive!
The texture of the drink felt so real!
It made her want to down it in one go.
But!
This couldn't suppress her anger toward that Soda Dog!
Just now.
Mr. Bigwig had confidently said, "Because I'm just a dog, I can't do anything. You shouldn't have had such high expectations of me in the first place, woof!"
Seeing the protagonist's speechless expression.
He wagged his tail excitedly!
"...You're mad, aren't you? You're mad! You're mad!"
"Woof! But you're the Tuner of the hostelry. No matter how angry you are, you still have to make drinks for me. Right?"
"You're too kind, thank you, woof!"
Thinking back on it now.
The streamer still felt annoyed!
But she still had to make the drink for him!
After drinking it.
Mr. Bigwig expressed his satisfaction with the drink.
But then he suddenly changed his tone, "This isn't your hostelry. Spending time and effort to meet others' demands means you're just working for someone else!"
"Since you're just a worker, don't call yourself a Tuner. No matter how impressive the title sounds, it can't hide the truth."
[You're even more annoying than that Spade]
"I'm easy to get along with. If you can't get along with me, look for the reason within yourself, woof!"
Not just the streamer.
Even the many players in the livestream couldn't take it anymore!
They started flooding the chat with messages.
...
"?"
"Is he insane?"
""The Face""
"This is truly a dog!"
"Workers with no power or influence are being toyed with by a dog."
"I'm so mad I'm laughing."
"Where is that dog? I can't take it anymore, I'm going to deal with it!"
...
Dreamjolt Hostelry.
Seeing rows of bullet comments filled with rage.
Spade and the Lady were both stunned.
At first, Spade had just played a prank.
It hadn't caused such a big uproar.
But then Mr. Bigwig had to step in.
With just a few words, he directly incited public outrage!
"Wasn't the plan to turn the tide of public opinion?"
"Is this how you're turning it?"
Mr. Bigwig was also dumbfounded.
He had been full of confidence.
But now, he was oozing guilt from head to toe.
Seeing how brainless and annoying he was in the game.
He even found himself irritating.
"How could I have said such detestable things?"
He looked around nervously, afraid that a group of people might suddenly rush out to deal with him!
And then, the Tin Man made his entrance.
Using an unusually arrogant tone.
And with absolutely no manners!
...
"This guy?"
"This one is even more of a heavyweight."
"There's another expert!"
"These monsters from the Dreamjolt Troupe are getting more and more abstract!"
"That's how the service industry is, you need a lot of resilience."
"I suggest tearing down this bar and taking out all these monsters."
"Behind the bar, Stelle's bat is almost crushed in her grip."
...
"It's all because you guys never held back, and now you've been turned into annoying monsters in the game…"
The Lady covered her face with both hands, looking utterly defeated.
Seeing the outrage in the bullet comments from so many players.
They probably wouldn't survive today.
Soon, a large number of players would come to take them down.
They had thought that entering the storyline of "Honkai: Star Rail" would give them moments of glory like the main characters.
But instead, they were being used as cautionary tales!
Before, the extent of their annoyance was limited to the area around the Dreamjolt Hostelry.
Now.
They were almost becoming the most hated creatures in all of Penacony, no, the entire universe!
For the three of them from the Dreamjolt Troupe, this was no different from the sky falling!
"To avoid being tormented by the players, I think we should just end it ourselves, it might be quicker and less painful."
At this point, Spade had completely lost any interest in pranks.
He hung his head.
Even contemplating suicide.
Inside the bar.
The atmosphere was heavy.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Suddenly, the Lady looked up.
Staring at the live stream for a while longer, I let out a surprised sound.
"Huh... this plot seems a bit off, our reputation has turned around!?"
"Just now, the Trailblazer entered your inner world through [Clockwork], helping both of you resolve your psychological issues."
"Actually... Spade was causing a ruckus because Siobhan wasn't around, hoping to call her back."
"And you, Mr. Bigwig."
"You deliberately provoked people because you wanted to get their attention."
"Although it's still a bit nasty, at least now, players won't immediately want to eliminate you."
Hearing this, Spade and Mr. Bigwig fell silent.
They both lowered their heads.
For the first time, they seriously contemplated their lives as monsters.
At that moment, a light, brisk footsteps approached.
"What's wrong, my guests?"
"At Dreamjolt Hostelry, no matter what troubles you have, you can always confide in the bartender."
Upon hearing Siobhan's voice, Spade and Mr. Bigwig couldn't hold back anymore!
"Wah wah wah... Siobhan, we're so sorry!"
"I was really immature before, always causing you trouble, I... I'm just a terrible monster!"
"Siobhan, is the Bloodhound Family coming to forcibly demolish the bar? You really don't have to worry about us, monsters like us who are disliked should just fend for ourselves."
Siobhan was stunned.
She didn't know what had gotten into these usually mischievous little creatures today?
Each of them was in a state of utter despair.
The lady's condition was a bit better...
She haltingly recounted what they had seen in the live stream of Honkai: Star Rail.
After listening, Siobhan showed a thoughtful expression.
"That's not right? Amici told me she finished this event called [Vignettes in a Cup], and apparently, quite a few players liked you."
"And our bar has become quite popular online."
"Probably, there will be many tourists coming to experience it soon."
"Ah?" Spade and Mr. Bigwig were dumbfounded.
One moment they were wallowing in self-pity over their monstrous lives, and the next, Siobhan told them such a reversed truth?
Siobhan took out her phone.
Opened the Honkai: Star Rail forum.
And pulled up the relevant comments.
[At first, I wanted to punch the soda dog, but after resolving the psychological issues, I found the dog quite cute.]
[I breezed through this plot, nearly four hours, Siobhan's disregard for worldly views is so great and touching!]
[I came back from playing, it made me cry. Really, Honkai: Star Rail has given me so many surprises.]
[The joy of experiencing the plot and playing the mini-games far surpasses the gacha, making me like this game more and willing to stay in it. Unlike other gacha games where you log in, pull some cards, do dailies, and then log off immediately.]
[I never thought I could be a bartender in a game, listening to stories, those little monsters on the map also have their own worries, poor kids. Under the control of the entire family, the joys and sorrows of these ordinary people are just tragic sacrifices.]
[Why make me cry, damn it, the main story messes with my mood, and the mini-games too, wah wah wah.]
[The side stories in Honkai: Star Rail really resonate with me, whether it's Cocona or the Galactic Superstar, or even this event's storyline. I just love these simple yet profound tales, where everyone's heart is so pure.]
[This event inexplicably moved me to tears, and I couldn't stop crying [sobbing]. Even though I finished it a while ago, my emotions are still unsettled. It feels like I saw a part of myself in this event, yet it also feels like no one was there.]
[Damn, after finishing it, I can't bring myself to kill similar monsters now. They all feel like little creatures with flesh and blood...]
[When I get off work, I'm definitely going to explore the depths of the Dreamscape to find this bar!]
[Count me in! I want to take a photo with Spade and the Soda Dog!]
Reading through the comments, Siobhan showed a look of surprise.
This event's storyline turned out to be unexpectedly good?
Seeing these comments, Spade was so moved that he started shedding little pearls of tears.
"Wuwuwu, I'll never play pranks so casually again. I must treat every friend who comes to the bar with sincerity and kindness..."
"Woof! I want to be a real dog that brings happiness to everyone. It feels like my life as a dog is filled with hope again!" Mr. Bigwig said.
The lady also chimed in, "I'll help Siobhan from now on to make our Dreamjolt Hostelry better and better!"
