The voice acting process for Honkai Impact 3rd had some minor hiccups, but overall, it went smoothly.
"What happened? Bronya?!"
"VALKYRIE SYSTEM, bio-chip anomaly detected… Forcing emergency system control, rebooting! Switching to elimination mode, eliminate all surrounding enemies!"
"Alright, alright, that's enough for today."
Su Luo clapped his hands, looking at the girls who had been hesitant earlier but were now more into it than anyone else.
He signaled that their voice acting work for the day was over.
Bronya turned her somewhat 'sanwu', delicate face. "Is it over? Just when I was about to go on a rampage."
"No, according to the plot, you'll just get beaten by the player," Su Luo replied truthfully.
"Is that so?" Bronya took a step back.
"I've decided to secretly increase the difficulty of this stage when Honkai Impact 3rd goes into open beta."
Su Luo: ???
"Please don't do anything unnecessary."
Su Luo remembered that this particular stage in Honkai Impact 3rd had indeed been quite difficult in his previous life. What kind of bizarre world-line convergence was this?
"Rita." Theresa raised her hand, barely managing to pat Rita's waist. "Su Luo is exactly as you said."
Rita, however, was completely on a different wavelength. "What a pity. I thought I'd get to say that line about Theresa being like a doll today. I was really looking forward to it."
Theresa's face stiffened. "What on earth are you thinking about all day, woman?"
"Everything I think is written on my face, you know. After all, I'm an honest woman."
Rita's short hair, covering her left eye, swayed lightly as she bowed her head slightly, looking incredibly sincere.
Theresa looked up at her, a moment of silence passing.
"..."
"I don't want to talk about this with you. Let's continue talking about Su Luo."
"Don't you think that even though he's only known us for a few days, it feels like he's been with us for years?"
Theresa observed Su Luo's interactions with the others while whispering to Rita, "There's a feeling of an old acquaintance."
"Isn't it a good thing that everyone gets along well?"
Rita replied earnestly, "Besides, everyone is an adult. It's normal to have secrets. As long as it doesn't affect others, it's fine."
"Hmm… What you say makes sense… Perhaps I was overthinking it."
Theresa honestly admitted her mistake.
Ultimately, since Su Luo arrived at miHoYo, the company had been visibly flourishing.
She should be grateful to Su Luo.
Rita moved away from Theresa and approached Su Luo, dutifully offering a suggestion.
"The progress on Honkai Impact 3rd is faster than expected. We should be able to make it for Pilipili's 'Best Domestic Mobile Game of the Year' award. Winning it would be very helpful to us…"
"Pilipili? Best Domestic Mobile Game?" Su Luo was puzzled.
"I know about it," Bronya interjected. "Even Penguin Corporation's new mobile game is participating in this selection. The competition is fierce."
"Meaning it has a lot of hype?"
Su Luo wasn't concerned about how fierce the competition was. With this version of Honkai Impact 3rd, which was even better than the one from his previous life, in his hands.
In this game-barren world, wouldn't that be a complete curb stomp?
Unless Penguin Corporation could somehow pull out a Genshin Impact.
But that was clearly impossible.
"Yes."
"Then we definitely have to participate!"
Su Luo made his decision.
Thus, that afternoon.
He hurried to synchronize the audio and CG, adjust them, and then uploaded it to the 'Little Broken Station' (Pilipili).
Meanwhile, downstairs from the miHoYo studio.
"Where am I? I'm about to arrive at your studio."
"Then I'll go inform the boss. By the way, remember to watch the game promotional CG we posted on Pilipili. Just in case the boss asks, and you end up completely clueless…"
"Game promotional CG?"
A tall, mature beauty (yujie) put down her phone, thoughtfully tapping open the pink-colored app on her device.
She quickly found the game promotional CG her friend had mentioned.
Somewhat curious, she clicked on it.
The player opened, and a small line of text slowly appeared in the center.
[miHoYo]
Then came a pleasant female voice.
"Helios, this is Hyperion, report mission status!"
"Reporting, Major. Optical target not visible. Mission risk upgraded to Grade A. Requesting confirmation!"
"Mission continue!"
"Yes, Major! Disabling hatch safety lock. Manually opening hatch."
As these words appeared.
A line of text appeared on the screen: Third Honkai Eruption, 2 years, 5 months, 16 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes, 22 seconds ago.
The time was still changing.
"Entering fixed-speed orbit."
"Air pressure normal."
"Sighting report confirmed. Awaiting Valkyrie docking."
The hatch slowly opened, the sound of high heels on the ground.
The high-altitude airflow blew up two iconic pigtails as the being known as a Valkyrie walked to the hatch.
The camera also panned to her side profile.
"Kiana?"
The mature beauty enjoying the CG was suddenly startled. "How could it be Kiana?"
The game CG didn't stop.
"Valkyrie docking preparation! 10! 9!"
Before the countdown ended.
Kiana had already turned off her headset and jumped directly out of the hatch.
The mature beauty's expression became even more complex. This impulsive personality was exactly the same as the Kiana she knew.
As Kiana jumped.
The music instantly became thrilling, accompanying her descent from the sky on screen, the roaring wind whistling in her ears.
The next moment.
The scene changed, pulling back from the original close-up.
Kiana passed through the clouds, under the sun's radiance, falling like a comet.
Any single frame could be used as a desktop wallpaper.
The sense of shock was maxed out in that instant!
The name "Honkai Impact 3rd" emerged.
The CG also ended abruptly there.
The comment section was already flooded with user comments.
[Is this a game I can actually play? I, a keyboard warrior, hereby declare miHoYo the strongest!!]
[I was wrong, I was truly wrong. I only thought miHoYo made trash games before, but I never expected miHoYo was saving up for a big move.]
[So hyped! To be honest, I'm not interested in anime-style stuff, but I still want to play Honkai Impact 3rd. After all, it's a brand-new type of gameplay I've never seen.]
[Brothers, be rational. A mature 3D mobile game suddenly appearing on the market, is this scientific? I think this might be a scam.]
[I don't care about what you guys care about. I'm just very curious why Honkai Impact 3rd is called Honkai Impact 3rd, not Honkai Impact 1st or Honkai Impact 2nd.]
...
"What on earth have they been creating during this time."
The mature beauty felt her heart in turmoil.
Not just because of this stunning game promotional CG, but also…
"Kiana, my sister."
"Making a game is one thing, but how did you manage to put yourself into the game?"
With a voice tinged with slight agitation, a few strands of pale golden long hair fell onto the phone screen.
