Chapter 316: Damn Schicksal, Damn Otto, They Even Put Ads in the Livestream!

He shrugged and added, "As for the choice, I never said we're going by numbers. Why did you all jump to conclusions?"

[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Then what do you propose?〉

〈I want them all!〉

Fu Lin raised a fist, muscles bulging and tearing through his sleeves. The art style suddenly clashed, and his previously androgynous voice turned deep and powerful.

Everyone, 〈Huh?〉

'Blazing Flame', 〈So greedy~〉

----------------------------------

"Lin, mind your image! Your art style's totally changed!" Fu Shi twitched at the corner of her mouth, looking at Fu Lin's now hardened art style, an uncontrollable urge to roast him bubbling up.

"Did it? Hehe..." Fu Lin toned down his art style. Looking at his sleeveless, empty right arm, he just smiled it off.

Fu Shi twitched at the corners of her mouth again, gently tapped on the screen, and said, "Alright, now it's time for the long-awaited Q&A segment. Let's look at the first question from today's stream."

[(Quick Response) How many different endings are there in this video? Please choose one of the following options you think is correct.]

[A) 1]

[B) 2]

[C) 3]

[D) 4]

[Tesla has been unmuted by Host]

[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈Four choices, huh? From the choices in the video, it's more than two. A is out first.〉

Bronya, 〈Aside from A, every option is possible. Bronya doesn't know which one to pick. Looks like we can only rely on luck for this one.〉

Kiana, 〈What's there to hesitate about? If three long and one short, choose the shortest; three short and one long, choose the longest; if mixed lengths, pick B; if uneven, pick D; all the same length, pick A; all the same short, pick C.〉

Tesla, 〈Isn't that the cheat code slackers use for multiple choice exams? There's no scientific basis.〉

Kiana, 〈You are a slacker!〉

'Blazing Flame', 〈Shut up!〉

Kiana☆ covered her face, unable to bear the level of her counterpart's IQ in this world. Back at St. Freya Academy, she had studied so hard...

[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Hahaha...〉

'Blazing Flame', 〈You shut up too!〉

[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈.....〉

Kiana, who had just felt a bit rebellious against Blazing Flame, immediately quieted down when she saw even the Overseer of Schicksal was being scolded, swallowing her retort.

She then looked pitifully at Mei beside her for comfort, "Mei~ That person named Blazing Flame is mean to me ≥﹏≤"

Mei gently stroked Kiana's head and comforted her, "There, there, don't cry."

"No one's answered yet after all this thinking?"

Fu Lin conjured a cappuccino and a green tea, handed the cappuccino to Fu Shi, and drank the green tea himself.

Fu Shi glanced at the cappuccino in her hand, then at Fu Lin, instantly getting the hint to answer.

But then her face blushed, and she asked through the air,

'Uh... Lin, do you know which to pick?'

"Pfft!"

The green tea Fu Lin had just sipped immediately sprayed out as he looked at the floating comments and said, "Cough cough, this tea's a bit hot."

He thought for a moment and replied to Fu Shi, 'I don't know either... this video seems kinda old, I haven't seen it.'

'You...' Fu Shi's face darkened, and where the camera couldn't catch it, she lightly kicked Fu Lin's calf.

[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈I pick D〉

[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈As expected of Grandpa, doing what we couldn't!〉

Fu Lin slightly bowed, held Fu Shi's smooth little foot, and under her red-faced gaze, said with utmost seriousness,

"Alright then, since Overseer Otto answered first, let's start the interview with Kallen."

With that, Fu Lin tapped Kallen's option on the screen, and the video resumed.

[Host Otto took out a card, looked at it, and read aloud,]

"Question from user 'Ultimate Headbutt' on floor 1865, To the cool and mysterious Kallen, ah, my friend says he's healed."

"Eh?!"

As Otto finished reading, a tic-tac-toe appeared under his eye, clearly showing he was quite angry, but thanks to his high professionalism, he smoothly moved on.

"Uh... we'd like to hear the crew talk seriously about Kallen's character."

Kallen rested her chin on her hand and cheerfully said,

"Kallen is usually the lord of Yae Town, and tends to act in a strict and by-the-book manner. But at night, she plays a different role to fight for justice."

"This kind of morally ambiguous character has always been a challenge I wanted to take on, so everyone, please make sure to watch~"

Kiana, 〈Sounds so cool, just like you'd expect from Ancestor Kallen!〉

Otto listened to Kallen, and the image of Phantom Thief Kallen slowly resurfaced in his mind. He muttered, "Kallen....."

Otto nodded in agreement and said, "Ah~ the harder the target, the more exciting it is. Kallen never lets us down, sigh!"

Then he looked at the card in his hand again and continued,

"Message from user 'Grocery Shopping Together' on floor 9168, I've been a fan of Teacher Kallen for years. Any news on the sequel to 'Trapped Beast'?"

Otto looked at Kallen, eyes full of curiosity.

"When it comes to the sequel of 'Trapped Beast', I'm also really looking forward to it. How about we do a little impromptu performance right now?"

Two tic-tac-toe's slowly appeared on Kallen's face as she raised two guns with a menacing yet gentle expression. The sound of them being loaded echoed, and Otto's face showed a hint of nervousness.

"Uh... now for a commercial break, let's take a short rest."

Kiana, 〈So what is 'Trapped Beast'? Why does Ancestor Kallen look so angry? I'm so curious!〉

[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈+1〉

Mei, 〈+1〉

Himeko, 〈+1〉

....

[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈+666〉

Tesla, 〈Damn it, why did they cut to commercials at the key moment? Show us Otto getting smacked already!!〉

Just when everyone thought it was over, the ad began to play, and everyone's face turned utterly dumbfounded.

Bronya, 〈???!!!!〉

Seele (White), 〈Is that Sister Bronya?!〉

Seele (Black), 〈Hahahaha, I can't, my stomach hurts from laughing.〉

[In the video, a brawny, weathered-faced Bronya appeared, carrying a black-and-red cannon.]

"Here it is! Finally here!

The Star-Destroyer 20PRO!

Powered by Quantum Energy!

Fires 50 shells with one click!

Instant burst!

Super firepower!

Sustained bombardment for up to 240 hours!

Can also be used as a portable power bank!

Level 7 waterproofing, permanent effect!

Whether in the bathroom or the quantum deep sea, enjoy bombardment at ease!

The brand-new super weapon, now available on the Schicksal Store~!"

As the powerful voiceover resonated with perfect enunciation and dramatic cadence, Bronya's "Star-Destroyer 20PRO" charged up. With one shell fired, it exploded among shoppers and vendors, flames flying everywhere.

Then the camera shifted again—another shell shot out, hitting a leisurely strolling Bella, who showed a surprised expression before being engulfed in flames.

Next scene, Honkai Beasts and Death Soldiers appeared, only to be blasted away in the next second.

Bronya's sturdy back appeared again. As she slowly turned to the camera and gave a thumbs-up, the screen froze on the "Star-Destroyer 20PRO".

Kiana, 〈I can't take it anymore!〉

"Hahahaha, if you can't hold it in, just laugh! Don't hurt yourself holding back, hahahahaha!"

Fu Lin wrapped one arm around Fu Shi's shoulder, the other slapping his thigh wildly, laughing out loud together o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓[slamming table laughing!]

Kiana (⊙?⊙), 〈I'm done, hahahaha, Bronya, can you do that final thumbs-up again? Hahahahaha!〉

Bronya (▼皿▼#), 〈Stupid Kiana, where are you right now? Bronya needs to see you.〉

Seele (White), 〈Big Sister Bronya can't possibly be like this, I must be hallucinating from missing her too much.〉

Bronya, 〈Seele...〉

'Baby Dragon', 〈Master, I got blasted away!〉

'Pufferfish', 〈.....〉

Tesla, 〈Damn you, Schicksal! Damn you, Otto! Even the ads are in the livestream now!〉

[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈???〉

[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈By the way, why would you use this level of weapon in a bathroom?!〉

[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈Maybe it's a subtitle error. It was probably supposed to be "in case of emergency."〉

Fu Shi, 〈Old antique, what if it's not a typo? (Wacky)〉**

[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈....〉
