Chapter 92: The Harder Employees Work, The Sooner the Boss Gets a G-Class!

The night wasn't particularly late.

Inside miHoYo Film Interactive City.

Since the sets also served filming purposes,

the entire park entered a resting state after 8 PM.

"Shh! Folks, if you're watching, don't forget to follow your girl Guinaifen!"

An orange-haired woman held up her phone, whispering to the camera.

"I've already explored the 'Herta Space Station' and 'Belobog' interactive zones."

Currently, in the livestream titled "Guinaifen's Nighttime Exploration of miHoYo,"

the initially low viewership began steadily climbing, with interactive comments flooding in.

[What's there to explore in the interactive city? It's already been played to death.]

[Exactly! Why make it seem like some horror show?]

[It's been ages since you did your upside-down noodle challenge. Do that instead there's nothing new in miHoYo anyway.]

"Ah, come on, folks!" Guinaifen responded to the comments while scanning her surroundings.

"You don't understand! I've got a good friend working as a security officer at miHoYo.

She told me firsthand they've already finished building the third interactive zone,

called the 'Luofu' Xianzhou ship.

This info is 100% legit!"

[Xianzhou ship? What's that?]

[Guinaifen, are you just farming views again?]

[Yeah, last time you promised sword-swallowing, I even sent a plane gift, but the stream got banned by mods?]

"Accidents, all accidents, folks! Oh here we are, here we are!"

Guinaifen was utterly stunned by the sight of the magnificent, floating "Xianzhou Luofu."

What kind of technology could achieve something like this?

So shocked was she that she momentarily forgot to point the camera properly.

Only after a full-body shudder did she remember she was still streaming.

"Sorry, folks, got a bit distracted. Let me show you properly now!"

With that, she slowly raised her phone.

But the moment the "Luofu" came into frame—

a hand snatched her phone away, swiftly ending the livestream.

Between the darkness and dim streetlights, Guinaifen couldn't make out the culprit's face.

"Hey! Who are you?!"

The figure had gray hair and golden eyes.

"You think I'm an idiot? Livestreaming while sneaking into my miHoYo for fun?"

Guinaifen realized things had gone south.

Was she about to get arrested?

"L-Let me expla—I mean, justify!"

"Tch, and here I thought I was fishing with a straight hook.

Yet you still took the bait?

Hmph! Cross Su Chen and expect to leave unscathed?

Sign this employment contract first!"

"HUH???"

——

Meanwhile,

A young man lay in bed after dinner.

"Ah! The blissful mini-vacation is finally ending.

Tomorrow, I return to the embrace of work.

As the saying goes:

Workers have worker souls labor elevates the common man!

We toil in silence, then astonish the world!

That's right!

The harder employees work, the sooner the boss gets a G-Class!

Time for sleep!"

Ding!

The young man glanced at his phone the dreaded, familiar sound of a group chat notification.

"No, must resist. Last time I opened that chat..."

Ding, ding, ding...

The phone kept pinging, as if taunting him:

"Come on, come play! Open me!

Sleep? At this hour? Get up and party!

How can you sleep so early?

At your age? With your energy?

One more hour of fun!"

Clasping his hands prayerfully, the young man rocked back and forth.

"Amitabha, God bless you all saw it.

The phone tempted me. It's not my fault."

With an expression torn between reluctance and manic glee,

he unlocked the screen.

[Honkai Star Rail's Succubus: OMG! I can't take this! Seriously, at least Rocky got closure, but this one—!]

[I Love Drinking Himeko's Coffee: Clara's story wrecked me too!]

[Silver Wolf's Current Boyfriend: Huh? Did miHoYo drop new content?]

[Domineering Caelus Baby Loves Me: Yep, and a lot at once. They finished Space Comedy and Witness.]

[It's miHoYo Not Hoyoverse: They also released two PVs with proper narrative weight. If you haven't seen them, maybe just watch those first.]

[Silver Wolf's Current Boyfriend: Really? Since when did you all get so sentimental? Even To the Faint Stars wasn't this emo.]

[Kafka's Dog: Nah, go ahead. I'd actually recommend watching them.]

[It's miHoYo Not Hoyoverse: True, they're good. At least there's closure, unlike Rocky's story took forever for an update.]

[Adorably Invincible March's Wife: Highly recommended! They're short anyway, won't affect work tomorrow.]

The young man frowned.

Since when were his "disciples" so persuasive?

Something was fishy.

Curiosity gnawing at him, he tapped the video.

The first was Space Comedy: Xianzhou Luofu Chapter.

——

Sure enough, the video resumed right where Blade walked toward the door, light flooding in.

To viewers, it was obvious miHoYo had split one video in half,

not even bothering to disguise the cliffhanger—

as if avoiding it would kill them.

The background music transitioned to pipa melodies.

An aerial shot of the Xianzhou "Luofu" followed,

before freezing abruptly on two new characters:

A blond, green-eyed man labeled "Luocha,"

and a lively girl named "Sushang."

[This pipa segment is god-tier! Insane!]

[Electro-traditional fusion goes hard.]

[Gives off major ensemble anime vibes.]

[Whoa! Is this the new zone? Why does it look like it's floating?]

[No way this is practical filming, right?]

[Actually, probably is. Yesterday some Bilibili streamer caught footage of a new zone at the interactive city. Got cut off fast though.]

[Which streamer? Got a link?]

[Just search "Guinaifen's Nighttime Exploration of miHoYo."]

[Still doesn't prove it's the same zone. How'd they pull off the floating effect?]

[Who knows? But when has miHoYo ever been predictable? Everyone thought the Creation Engine was CGI turns out it's real and fully operational!]

[Reality's glitching again I can't tell what's real anymore!]

[This mix of sci-fi and traditional aesthetics? Chef's kiss!]

——

Next, Sushang sprinted, then paused to gaze skyward.

Suddenly, a massive chicken rear descended from the heavens.

A seamless transition later,

the "phoenix" morphed into a mahjong tile,

caught effortlessly by another girl.

Spinning, she flung the tile forward—

her name, "Qingque," emblazoned on-screen.

The camera panned left to a pink-haired girl aiming her phone at Qingque.

A rapid zoom-in framed her face:

"Fu Xuan."

In the next moment,

Qingque lunged for Fu Xuan's phone.

Fu Xuan raised it high—

BUT.

Pointless.

Qingque hopped lightly and snatched it.

Another cut: A young man wielded his sword like an immortal,

before executing a sweeping strike.

The name "Yanqing" dominated half the screen.

A continuous tracking shot followed,

gliding past countless structures—

similar in style, yet each unique.

Finally, the camera halted,

centering on a white-haired man.

Chin propped on his hand, he dozed off—

then jerked awake from imbalance.

Sparrows burst from his hair.

Rather than annoyed, he smiled warmly.

The subtitle declared:

"Divine Foresight Arbiter-General—Jing Yuan"!!!

Suddenly, the scene became a photograph.

Synced to drumbeats, countless "Jing Yuan" photos flashed by.

The last one was held by a foxian woman.

She winked at the camera.

Her name appeared in orange text:

"Tingyun!"

[SO MANY WAIFUS! HOLY—]

[Tingyun at the end? Perfection. She WILL be mine.]

[I swear: No matter what happens to Tingyun, my love is eternal!]
