After covering Hokuto and Shibao, and a portion of the player reactions, we return to the official miHoYo livestream room.
Right on cue, Kiana and i walk into the filming area.
Viewers in the stream enthusiastically typed barrage ssages to greet them:
[i!! Kiana!!]
[Oh, it's a change of cast? I liked Shibaoand Squad Leader, but i and Kiana are great too!]
[Are i and Kiana going to stream the main story next?]
[It's Kiana Ti!!]
Kiana and i exchanged a glance before Kiana spoke up:
"We'll leave the main story to Squad Leader. i and I are here to introduce the upcoming Honkai Impact 3rd Holand System to everyone."
[Holand System?]
[Don't you rember? It was in the official announcent. A new system that's launching soon.]
[What exactly is the Holand System? I'm curious.]
...
"Looks like everyone can't wait."
i handed the device over to Kiana.
"Let Kiana show everyone what the Holand System is all about."
"Yes yes! I'll complete i's mission with flying colors~!"
Kiana took the device and opened the internal Honkai Impact 3rd client on it.
As soon as the bridge interface loaded, an Ai-chan avatar popped up with a notification:
'Captain, the Holand feature is now open! Co check it out!'
Without hesitation, Kiana followed Ai-chan's prompt and tapped the new Holand button at the lower right.
The screen changed.
On the left was the Stamina Storage Device, which stored overflow stamina, and the Coin Collector, which generated coins over ti.
There was also the Holand Shop and Job Dispatch.
At the center was a Divine Key that could grant buffs to Valkyries.
Of course, the most eye-catching feature was the Dormitory teleportation device.
"Actually, my favorite is this Dormitory feature."
Having introduced the other parts, Kiana eagerly moved on to the last one.
"I think it's super interesting! There are tons of little Easter eggs waiting to be discovered!"
With that, the viewers' curiosity was imdiately piqued.
Kiana tapped into the Dormitory.
Inside was a spacious room with several cardboard furniture pieces.
Chibi versions of "White Cot" Kiana and "Crimson Impulse" i wandered around the room.
[Is this a decoration mini-ga?]
[Tiny Kiana and i are so cute~ so cute~ my heart can't take it~♪]
[You can even play a furniture decorating ga in Honkai Impact 3rd!]
The audience was fully engrossed in the Dormitory system.
Then, Chibi i passed by a cardboard bed and stopped.
This triggered an Easter egg dialogue.
Under everyone's watchful eyes—
A speech bubble popped up above Chibi i's head:
"This is... a cardboard bed?"
"..."
"I suppose... it'll do for resting."
Chibi i pondered this, and suddenly her expression turned horrified.
Another speech bubble appeared:
"With Kiana's sleeping posture... she'll definitely crush this bed."
"What should I do?"
Chibi i collapsed weakly to her knees, slipping into a prolonged dejected animation.
Her adorable little deanor made everyone burst into laughter.
[Hahaha, i's worried Kiana will crush the bed while sleeping... I ship it. I ship it.]
[So this is the Easter egg Kiana ntioned earlier?]
"Yep, hahaha. Though I didn't expect this to be the first one triggered."
Kiana let out a paracium-like laugh, slightly embarrassed but mostly amused.
"So? Pretty fun, right?"
"I'm telling you guys, once the official version launches, there will be a ton of Easter eggs just like this—waiting for you to discover."
"All kinds of surprising and fun interactions!"
There really were tons of Easter eggs.
Not just because the Holand System itself was a "plus" version, but because of the enthusiasm from Kiana and the others.
They wanted Honkai Impact 3rd to feel rich and detailed in every aspect.
[I'm really looking forward to it! Please release the Holand System soon!]
[At first glance, this system looks plain, but I feel like I could spend an entire day on it. Great ti-killer.]
The players' comnts were heartfelt.
Even though the Dormitory didn't enhance combat power, sotis playing a ga isn't all about min-maxing scores.
Adding a fun side system expands the ga's depth.
They truly thought it was a great addition.
And the fact that miHoYo spent so much ti and effort putting Easter eggs into a single system—
It only proved how seriously miHoYo was treating their ga.
Players were genuinely satisfied.
Of course, the most important reason was—
Developing these small systems hadn't affected the quality of the main story.
That's why players had such goodwill toward miHoYo.
Amid the cheerful atmosphere, Kiana finished her introduction of the Holand System.
Right on cue.
Fu Hua and Fu Shibao walked in from outside together.
It looked like they were about to resu the livestream of the main story.
"Squad Leader and Shibao are back~~" Kiana waved at them.
Fu Hua brought Shibao over and gently said,
"Kiana, i, we'll take it from here."
"Sure! I just finished introducing the Holand System."
Kiana had actually been wondering how to keep the stream lively after the system intro.
With Fu Hua and Shibao coming in, it couldn't have worked out better.
Before getting up, Kiana bid farewell to the livestream viewers:
"Everyone~ i and I are heading off. Squad Leader will continue the main story now."
With that, she and i left together.
Fu Hua and Shibao sat down just like before.
Fu Hua logged into the Honkai Impact 3rd account and tapped into Chapter 22: " and Myself."
The story picked up from where it left off.
The Herrscher of Sentience had led Kiana and Bronya into the Pavilion of Clouded Sunsets.
Then followed a dialogue between the Herrscher and the girls—though it didn't go smoothly.
Due to the Herrscher's childlike nature and her decision to amuse herself with the Mirage of Mount Taixu,
Kiana and Bronya were highly wary of her.
Bronya bluntly stated that she believed the Herrscher's motives were far from simple.
The Herrscher could only patiently explain to Bronya—
That she had her reasons, and had crafted this illusion hoping they would better understand her—
And better understand the existence nad "Fu Hua."
Unfortunately, pulling that illusion stunt made it hard to gain their trust.
Their words clashed.
And since, in Kiana and Bronya's eyes, the Herrscher had imprisoned the real Fu Hua—
A battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Players once again felt the tension rising.
[Kiana, Bronya, Shibao really has the simplest intentions. Like, painfully simple!]
[Sigh~~ She just wants to make friends. How did it co to this?]
[Who would've thought Shibao was that innocent?]
[Shibao: So pitiful~ You forced to use my fists!]
...
"Who's pitiful, huh? Mind your words!"
Fu Shibao snapped in response.
The chat instantly clarified they ant Shibao, not Shijie.
"Hmph, I walk my path with my real na—I'm Fu Shibao, thank you very much."
As soon as she said that, the stream chat exploded again.
She always had a way of creating entertainnt effortlessly.
Fu Hua felt that if she hadn't diligently morized a ton of "What the boss said" notes beforehand,
she wouldn't be able to manage this chaos.
Would Shibao grow to like streaming?
If this kept up, maybe she could introduce her to Elysia?
Hmm...
A scene popped into Fu Hua's mind.
Fu Shibao imitating Elysia's way of speaking—
Fu Shibao: Hi~♪ Did you miss ?
Ugh... never mind.
That felt way too weird.
Fu Hua gave a subtle shudder and quickly forced the thought out of her head.
