Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

However, Raidenju really lived up to expectations. As a soprano, she was able to perfectly master and sing all the high-pitched songs that Eden had composed before.

In addition, after Eden finished writing the songs, he was too lazy to find anyone else, so he just dumped them all on Raiden-Kiku.

She never expected that, through all this time, Lei Dianju would become an S-level singer, and then, quite by accident, become a queen of pop.

People who want to reach the S-level or become the King or Queen of Singers have to give it their all. If they don't succeed the first time, they'll try again and again, fighting tooth and nail until they're battered and bruised.

However, Lei Dianju won the Best Singer award almost effortlessly, and her competitors in the same year's selection were no match for her.

After all, Eden was aiming for the title of "God of Songs" that year, and all the works they presented were of high quality.

"My next piece is indeed in English, and it's something I'm preparing for the end of the year. If you want to sing it, I'll give it to you."

"Really?!" Raiden Kiku was so excited she almost dropped the steering wheel. "You're really going to participate in this year's War of the Gods?"

"Yes, not only me, but Professor Walter will probably be there too. Be careful while driving, have you forgotten about that speeding ticket?"

"Oh, oh." Ju quickly steadied the steering wheel. "What's going on this year? Why are you all suddenly all getting involved?"

"I'm attending the Spring Festival Gala." Eden's answer was concise. "This year's gala has invited many celebrities."

"I see, no wonder." Kiku nodded. The only thing that could get two music masters to perform at once was an official stage like the Spring Festival Gala. "But didn't the Spring Festival Gala used to only feature Chinese songs?"

“This time we’ve decided to add some foreign language songs,” Eden said nonchalantly. “After all, the Spring Festival Gala is already a major international program, and we need to consider audiences in other regions.”

"I know that! There have been rumors that the government wants to promote global cultural integration!"

"Maybe that's what it means. By the way, you just got back, aren't you going to go and reunite with your husband?"

"That damn guy." Ju rolled her eyes. "Ignore him. I'm going to find my precious daughter to comfort her."

“You two are really something else,” Eden couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re a married couple, yet you work for two different music companies.”

Ju rolled her eyes: "It's because he doesn't wash the dishes after meals that I'm not going to his place."

As she spoke, Ju chuckled, "I heard that while I was away, you lost to some unknown kid?"

“You should have heard his songs; he’s not some unknown kid.” Eden’s tone carried a hint of admiration.

“Indeed.” Ju gripped the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and overtook a Civic in front of her, leaving the car far behind. “This song is really amazing. It’s only been a few months and it’s already produced so many songs. I still really like ‘Keep Walking in the Rain.’ The singer’s penetrating voice really suits my taste.”

"How about we try to collaborate with him? I have some connections with him," Eden asked with a smile.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in composers other than you. Their songs aren't challenging or difficult at all." Ju glanced at the Civic chasing after her in a fit of anger in the rearview mirror, then stepped on the gas again, leaving it behind.

"You're always like this. You're clearly an all-around singer, but you always like to challenge yourself with difficult songs, turning yourself into a soprano in other people's eyes."

"There's no way around it, singing easy songs is no fun." Ju shifted gears manually, and the car sped up again. "I'm going to see my lovely daughter. Do you want to come with me? That girl has a really good voice, she's practically a natural soprano."

"Next time, forget it this time, I have things to do." Eden shook his head slightly. "Drive carefully, or you'll get another ticket."

"Okay, okay!" Kiku waved his hand dismissively.

Eden shook his head helplessly. Ju was almost fifty years old, but her temperament was still like that of a girl. He didn't know how she maintained it.

Could it be because my husband spoils me too much?

Bai Qianqu was playing a game at that moment.

Inside Bronya's large villa, a five-player team game is underway.

Bai Qianqu, Bronya, Seele, Hill, and Jiuxiao formed a team and were playing Counter-Strike Online, while Xiaotu watched from the sidelines.

Originally, no one wanted to play, but Jiu Xiao insisted that "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle" and urged everyone to play the penguin's new game.

After all, this is the world's first large-scale 3D game, so everyone should experience it.

Bai Qianqu was very confident, after all, he had played quite a few of these 5V5 shooting games! He had a lot of experience, although he was just a C+ newbie back then, his extensive experience didn't lie!

It's time to show off in front of Bronya and the others!

"This game is actually very simple!" During the warm-up, Bai Qianqu explained the game to Bronya and the others: "Kill enemies to get coins, use the coins to buy guns and items to wipe out the enemy or defuse a bomb to win."

"Actually, the key to victory lies in marksmanship and scouting, and the use of items is also very important."

After a long and eloquent discussion, Seele looked at him with admiration.

"I never knew Teacher Bai was such a gaming expert!"

Bai Qianqu smiled confidently! Just kidding! The value of a C+ is something those who know, understand!

"Just jump into the game and watch my performance!"

ten minutes later.

Bai Qianqu's record: 3/12

Nine Heavens' record: 10/5

Hill's record: 12/3

Bronya's record: 27/0

Seele's record: 0/0

Bai Qianqu:

"what?"

Every time, Bai Qianqu would charge out first and get killed instantly, then Bronya and Seele would reap the rewards, while Seele would hide in a corner trembling with fear.

On one occasion, the opponent was facing him from behind, and he fired an entire magazine without hitting a single target. In the end, the opponent turned around and killed him, creating a very awkward situation.

"Ahem, although I hung up, I did get the information."

Bai Qianqu comforted herself in this way, which made her feel a little better.

Under Bronya's guidance, the group played for a whole day and thoroughly mastered the game.

“The game has some good innovative points,” Bronya said first.

“But the modeling is very rough,” Jiuxiao said.

“The matchmaking system isn’t very good,” Hill said.

"There are bugs in some corners of the map; if you crouch and walk back and forth, you can easily get stuck inside the map," Seele said.

"I shouldn't have switched items just now, otherwise I wouldn't have been caught timing out!" Bai Qianqu said.

"?"

Everyone turned to look at Bai Qianqu, who looked annoyed, their faces full of confusion.

Everyone's seriously discussing the game's design, why haven't you come out of the game yet?

Brother, you're the game designer in our studio.

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Qianqu finally came to her senses and quickly coughed twice.

"Ahem, what I mean is that the items in this game are very complicated and easy to make mistakes."

Little Rabbit: "Isn't it because you're bad at the game?"

""

After an awkward silence, everyone tacitly avoided the topic.

Bronya summarized: "In short, although Penguin was the first to make a 3D game, the technology is not very mature. It can be seen that there are still many imperfections in their game, and it can even be described as a poorly made product. It is evident that this game was a half-finished product that was released prematurely."

"The first to eat the cake will have a huge advantage, but those who come later are not necessarily doomed to failure. If we can come up with a better 3D game within two years, we can compete with Tencent."

Bai Qianqu immediately thought of his novel "Titanfall 2", but he didn't say it out loud right now.

After all, the studio's focus right now is on Plants vs. Zombies, and other things can be put on hold for now.

Bronya thought so too, and she continued, "We don't need to rush. Haste makes waste. Creating a higher-quality 3D game isn't something that can be done in a day or two. Our priority right now is to finish 'Plants vs. Zombies'."

Jiuxiao suddenly asked, "Actually, I've always had a question I wanted to ask Teacher Bai."

She stared at Bai Qianqu and blinked her beautiful eyes: "Why do Houmu zombies eat players' brains?"

Bai Qianqu:

Jiuxiao has raised questions about the game's settings.

"Maybe it's because players' brains are more appealing, after all, zombies eat people."

"Ah!!!" Seele's face showed a look of horror. "Aren't zombies only supposed to bite people? How come they eat people too?"

"The correct term for zombie should be 'zombie,' you know what a zombie is, right? The kind that eats people."

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Bai Qianqu also felt a little strange.

P.S.: Here comes the third update! So, you know what I mean?

Chapter 162 The Holy Land of Light Novels

Bai Qianqu asked with a puzzled look, "Don't you know? Zombies, the zombies from Resident Evil?"

"What are zombies?" Jiu Xiao asked, equally puzzled. "Are they a type of zombie? And what is Resident Evil?"

"Resident Evil is—" Bai Qianqu suddenly remembered that there didn't seem to be a Resident Evil in this world, nor was there any concept of zombies.

The zombies in this world are still based on Chinese legends, those ancient ghosts and monsters, specifically referring to ghosts and monsters that people turn into after death due to the excessive yin energy of their corpses.

It falls under the category of ghosts and spirits, and there's no scientific basis for it anyway.

In the original world, zombies were a significant part of subculture and enjoyed immense popularity. However, the term "zombie" didn't exist before that. In Haitian culture, people believed that voodoo priests could return a person's soul to their body so they could continue working for their master. In short, the concept of "zombies" back then still contained strong elements of superstition.

It wasn't until 1929, with the publication of the book "The Magic Island," which defined zombies as creations of black magic, that the image of "zombie" was first depicted. Then, in 1932, the first zombie film, "White Zombie," appeared.

Interestingly, this is actually a satirical film about the evils of capitalism, telling the story of a wizard who resurrects many zombies and makes them work for him 24 hours a day.

However, some people say that the "Return of the Living Dead" was also mentioned in the earlier Epic of Gilgamesh.

This shows that people have a rich imagination.

Before 1968, zombies were always associated with black magic, until the appearance of "Night of the Living Dead" separated zombies from religious theology.

Zombies have finally become the image in the public's mind: monsters that are purely mindless, retaining only the most primal hunting instincts; creatures bitten by them will be infected; their brains are their weaknesses, etc.

Besides zombie movies, there are also novels, such as the 1954 novel "I Am Legend," which first mentioned the concept of "disease," making people realize that zombies could be humans infected with a virus.

Since the appearance of "Night of the Living Dead", zombie culture has taken root in people's hearts and continues to spread in various cultural fields, including movies, novels, games and comics, which have flourished to this day.

At this point in time in the world, before "Magic Island," people only knew about zombies and didn't know what a zombie was.
