Genshin impact : Elysia endroses me!!!

[I'm so excited!! Her Lady Queen has entered the card pool!]

[Suddenly, the Ghost Armor in my hand doesn't feel as special anymore...]

[Wait, didn't the newbie tutorial warn us that Ghost Armor is a permanent pool character and not recommended to pull?]

[Yeah, I saw that, but I just couldn't resist...]

[The Queen is strong, but I'm choosing Himeko! That armor looks amazing.]

[I disagree! Didn't you see Her Lady Queen snap her fingers? That crisp sound got me hooked instantly.]

[MiHoYo, you've done it again... Two new S-rank characters that perfectly target my weaknesses. Are you trying to drain my wallet?]

The video preview didn't just introduce the new 1.2 version event gameplay—it also revealed details about the Herrscher of the Sky's skills, weapons, and stigmata. Additionally, it showcased Himeko's S-rank armor, instantly making both characters the talk of the community.

Whether in terms of appearance or strength, these two characters were absolute game-changers in this version. Their compelling in-game stories made them even more irresistible to players.

New characters, new storylines, and new gameplay—just these three elements were enough to keep Honkai Impact III at an incredibly high level of popularity.

And so, amid the eager anticipation of countless players, Version 1.2 of Honkai Impact III finally launched.

Alicia's Surprise Live Stream

"Hey~ We meet again~ Are you surprised?"

"Such a pity I can't give you all a warm hug~ Hehe~"

"Guess what today's stream is about?"

"Oh? You figured it out right away? Of course, the 1.2 update of Honkai III is out today~"

"But guess what? Eden will be joining me too~"

To everyone's shock, Alicia was live streaming again—just two weeks after her last one!

Normally, she barely streamed once a month, if that. The sudden broadcast alone was a huge surprise to fans. But that wasn't the only excitement for the night—when the camera shifted, Eden appeared next to Alicia.

[Oh my god, EDEN!!]

[Alicia's intro is as playful as ever! I swear, I love this woman so much~~]

[Can't believe it! Ellie is streaming twice in a month! My heart can't handle this!!]

[My favorite celebrity loves my favorite game! Double happiness overload!!]

[Wait... my favorite celebrity loves my favorite streamer?? Overload x2!!]

[The guy I like also loves the streamer I love! Gay happiness overload!!]

[...Something weird got mixed in there.]

[Today is perfect—the new version of Honkai III is here, Alicia is streaming, and Eden is here... All the best things happening at once!!]

Seeing the viewer count skyrocket, Eden gave Alicia a helpless glance.

Ever since Alicia had introduced her to Honkai III, Eden had been deeply inspired. The game had even sparked new ideas for her music, greatly lifting her mood.

When she excitedly shared this with Alicia, her friend insisted they should play together more. At first, Eden resisted—Honkai III had only recently entered beta, and there wasn't much content yet. If she got too attached, she feared becoming a gaming addict.

But she couldn't deny the truth—the game was incredibly fun.

In the past two weeks, Eden had even visited MiHoYo's official website to research the game further. She discovered that beyond the stunning graphics, charming characters, and engaging storylines, Honkai III boasted an astonishingly intricate world-building system.

"With such a complete story, why didn't the developers just make an anime?" she had wondered.

However, her thoughts shifted the moment she saw Honkai III's staggering revenue reports.

Even though her own endorsement had contributed to some of that success, she understood that this was just the beginning.

Once Herrscher of the Sky entered the card pool, she could already imagine how explosive the game's earnings would become.

This made her extremely curious about MiHoYo's business strategies—a free-to-play game with no point card sales, yet somehow achieving massive profits.

"It's a brilliant move."

Originally, Eden just wanted to play quietly with Alicia today. However, Alicia insisted that playing with lots of friends would make it even more fun.

Eden knew that Alicia was doing all of this just to cheer her up.

So, as always, she indulged her friend's wishes.

The Gacha Pulls Begin

"Eden, which character should we pull first?"

"Maybe we should start with the Queen?" Alicia teased before giggling. "Just kidding~ Of course, we'll pull for Himeko first, since Eden loves her so much!"

Eden smiled. "And what about you, Alicia? Who's your favorite?"

"As long as it's a beautiful girl, I love them all~" Alicia paused, then hugged Eden with a playful grin. "But of course, my absolute favorite is Eden~"

[They just started streaming and it's already this sweet?? I love it.]

[I can't help but smile every time I see Eden and Alicia together…]

[This pair is EVERYTHING. I swear, they were made for each other.]

Chapter 9: Journey to Tomorrow

As soon as they logged into the game, a short cinematic played.

It showcased some of the events following Chapter 8's storyline, and Himeko was at the center of it all.

Clad in her S-rank Lunar Eclipse armor, her imposing presence combined with the game's epic soundtrack sent chills down Eden's spine.

"Alicia, let's play the main story first!" Eden's voice was filled with anticipation.

"Hehe~ Whatever Eden's little angel desires~"

After the cinematic ended, Alicia opened Chapter 9.

[Chapter 9: Journey to Tomorrow]

"Wow~ This chapter has so many stages!" Alicia exclaimed.

"Kiana, don't worry! Beautiful Alicia is coming to save you—with Eden, of course~"

As she selected the first stage, both girls noticed something surprising—players couldn't choose their own characters. Instead, they were forced to use trial versions of specific characters.

"Isn't this Himeko's new S-rank armor?" Alicia observed. "Well, at least we get to try it in the story mode."

Eden nodded. "That's actually a smart move by the developers. This way, even players who don't want to spend money can still experience how strong this armor is."

The game loaded quickly.

The screen faded to black. A tense narration began—

"After the Queen's arrival, the world was thrown into chaos..."

Then, a sudden burst of intense music filled their headphones.

At the same time, a conversation between Tesla and Himeko played out—

Tesla: "The spatial curvature is fluctuating abnormally... I've never seen Honkai energy this concentrated!"

"Even if she's a Herrscher, this is insane!!"

Himeko: "I'll hold them off—just focus on evacuating the wounded. Can Hyperion still be activated?"

Tesla's voice was frantic. "The left engine is failing! The power room took a direct hit, and the shock-absorbing system is critically damaged—"

She barely paused for breath. "At our current power conversion rate, it'll take—"

Himeko: "Calm down! Just tell me how long!"

As the intense dialogue unfolded, Alicia and Eden found themselves completely sucked into the tension of the story.

Their excitement was at its peak.

And the journey to tomorrow had only just begun.
