Chapter 114: Blade's Banner revenue Reaches the Summit! The Emotional Finale of Belobog.
Belobog.
Within the Clippoth Fort.
Aventurine and Topaz, taking a moment from their busy schedules, had just finished watching Blade's character PV together.
Aventurine clapped in a cooperative manner.
He exclaimed, " Not bad, this PV is quite well-produced."
" From the company's perspective, it can be considered a high-quality product."
Topaz said, " When has a Feathered Spirit production ever not been excellent?"
" Some guys in the company even tried to copy this game, turning it into a reskinned, pay-to-win game, but without exception, they all flopped."
Aventurine leaned back lazily, saying, " Even I, who haven't played much, know that this game is unique in the entire galaxy. Only fools would think of imitating it."
" If I were in the Marketing Development Department, I definitely wouldn't think of imitating but rather choose to cooperate with Feathered Spirit."
Topaz rolled her eyes, " You make it sound so simple."
" The entire universe is searching for Feathered Spirit, but they haven't even found a single strand of hair."
" You want to cooperate with that big shot? You might as well dream on."
Aventurine took off his sunglasses and wiped them with a flower-embroidered cloth.
He said confidently, " Dreaming? You're right, my next task is actually related to a dream."
" And, I believe, with enough benefits, Feathered Spirit shouldn't refuse cooperation from us."
Topaz clearly scoffed at Aventurine's confidence.
She teased, " Then you can have Feathered Spirit put you in the game too and write a special storyline for you."
" Then release a character PV like this... Congratulations, you're about to become a galaxy-wide superstar."
Aventurine waved his hand.
" Me? My trivial matters aren't worth mentioning. I think you're more suitable."
" Oh, and add that pig of yours, and have you two do a combo skill or something..."
" Numby, bite him!"
Upon hearing this, Numby stood up on two legs.
It looked like it was really going to beat up Aventurine.
Seeing this.
Aventurine immediately conceded.
" Alright, alright, I was wrong."
He sat up straight on the sofa.
Casually fixed his hairstyle.
Seeing Numby still circling around him, ready to attack at any moment if it found an opening.
Aventurine showed a helpless expression.
" I knew I shouldn't have said anything."
" How about this, to show my apology, I'll tell you an internal company secret."
Hearing about intelligence.
Topaz immediately called Numby back.
Company employees are so simple.
Aventurine pulled up a screen, gently pushing it in front of Topaz.
" This is the revenue of Blade's banner in 'Honkai: Star Rail'."
" In just a few system hours, it has topped the charts in various regions."
" This situation repeats every time a new character is released."
" Especially during the Jing Yuan banner, the recharge system was almost overloaded."
" Those old geezers in the company are going crazy."
" So..."
" They've decided to take countermeasures against 'Honkai: Star Rail'."
Topaz narrowed her eyes slightly.
This intelligence was interesting.
Although it had no direct connection to their business scope, it could indirectly illustrate some of the company's attitudes.
" What countermeasures?" Topaz asked.
Aventurine pointed to Blade's image.
" The Stellaron Hunters, right?"
" These people, who were originally wanted criminals with sky-high bounties from the company, have become popular characters due to the storyline in 'Star Rail'."
" So they plan to conduct counter-propaganda, announcing Kafka's crimes one by one."
" To make players feel disgusted with this woman, disgusted with the Stellaron Hunters, and even ultimately disgusted with this game."
" A classic smear tactic, right?"
" Maybe they'll even hire some internet trolls to stir up trouble."
Topaz shook her head.
" These guys in the company are really boring."
" I hope they lose everything."
" This time, I'm on Feathered Spirit's side."
Aventurine smiled indifferently.
" Alright, gossip time is over. We've been sitting for most of the day; we should go ask Miss Bronya how her preparations are going."
...
Belobog.
Underground.
Seele and Natasha were watching the projection screen.
Sampo, on the other hand, was sitting in a small corner playing " Honkai: Star Rail."
At this moment.
The Belobog storyline had reached its end.
In these few hours.
Seele and Natasha, from the perspective of the Trailblazer, had re-witnessed the Trailblaze journey in Belobog.
[ Bronya sends a message that the decade-long blockade between the upper and lower districts is about to end. ]
[ The cable car is about to open, and the residents of the lower district will finally see the light again, breathing freely under the same sky. ]
Seele was stunned.
The content of this game had broken her worldview more than once.
She was a little numb now.
Natasha was a little better.
Her pupils only contracted slightly.
She had accepted most of the content.
" Sampo, I believe what you said now."
" This game is indeed incredible, it actually made our experience of fighting against the Fragmentum and the Stellaron so exciting..."
" I think I roughly know why it can become so popular in the universe."
Sampo showed a gratified expression: " Big Sister, with your words, my afternoon of hard work was not in vain!"
Seele took a deep breath.
Shook her head.
Walked to Sampo's side and said, " This game is really interesting."
" Sampo, let me try it out." Sampo was a little reluctant, twisting and turning as he handed over the phone.
" Well, Miss Seele, this is the account I finally leveled up. Others use my character as support and contribute 70,000 to 80,000 Credits to me every day."
" Seeing that we are so familiar, I am embarrassed to charge you so much, 50,000 Credits is about enough."
" Here."
Seele was too lazy to haggle with Sampo, she had more important things to do now.
After taking the phone.
Seele held the phone a little awkwardly.
Manipulating the character to move back and forth, left and right.
But she got familiar quickly.....
In a short while, she was manipulating it very smoothly.
Following the task tracking.
[ Talk to the cable car operator. ]
" Finally... finally, I, the cable car supervisor, can go back to work! I thought I would be stuck in the mine forever..."
" Ah, you! You are the saviors of the Underworld! It is my great honor to operate the first passenger cable car after the end of the blockade!"
[ Please show your work permit. ]
[ Is this thing safe... ]
Having watched Sampo operate before, Seele knew that she had to choose different dialogue options at this time.
[ Is this thing safe... ]
" Don't worry, don't worry! In my more than 20 years of career, there has only been... uh... almost never been a safety accident!"
" Cough, enough nonsense - are you ready to take the cable car?"
[ Take the children to breathe fresh air. ]
Seele clicked on this option.
As if returning to the moment when it was just unsealed.
At that time.
Perhaps because everything came so suddenly.
Seele didn't have time to have too many psychological fluctuations.
Now re-experiencing it again.
It was even more touching than the initial feeling!
Immediately.
The screen turned.
It was Natasha and Oleg, taking Hook, Clara, and the other children back to the ground together.
" Woo... Waa! This, this is... such a big, blue roof!" Hook's surprised voice came out.
Natasha said softly: " That's not the roof, Hook... It's the sky."
" Is this... the Administrative District? The smell in the air... is very different from the Underworld."
Clara's voice was a little cautious.
Oleg laughed: " Hahaha, is it missing the smell of iron rust and ground marrow dust? Take a deep breath, children, this is the breath of freedom."
" I didn't expect to be able to return to the Administrative District alive... so many things have really happened in the Underworld in these years, Natasha."
" Who says not, Oleg."
Natasha's voice was more relaxed than ever.
" It's really strange... when I was on the cable car, my mind was full of things I wanted to do after I came back..."
" But now... I just want to find a place to sit down, daydream, and watch this busy crowd... just spend the whole day like this."
" Enjoy this moment of peace, girl. This is what we deserve."
Natasha was slightly stunned.
She didn't expect that this scene would be reproduced again.
Looking at it now.
Not only did the emotions at that time surge back into her heart.
But there was also an unspeakable sense of emotion!
" This game is really well made."
" Seeing this scene, I think all the hard work is worth it."
" Same feeling, Natasha."
Seele blinked hard.
When she opened it.
A bright and clear light lit up in her eyes.
Revealing a touch of excitement.
" I know what to say to Bronya!"
" Let her see this scene, let those guys in the company see this scene!"
" The future of our planet must not be handed over to the company!"
