Genshin Impact creator: Alicia, please endorse me.

……

Meanwhile, many Honkai Impact 3rd players who couldn't sleep at night were filled with anticipation.

Himeko is finally going to make an appearance!!

[Looking forward to it! The last hype and rumors are finally going to be completely debunked!]

[Hilarious! I just went to look for those posts from the trolls, and they've all been deleted.]

It's unclear whether the other Valkyries will make an appearance.

Am I the only one hoping the CEO of miHoYo will make an appearance?

[Otto, take this!!]

P.S.: If all goes well, there are only two more chapters left before the book goes on sale, probably tonight. Please give me a first subscription, my darlings!

Chapter 56: The live stream begins, and the popularity of the live stream room skyrockets.

1:50 PM.

Inside the studio, the girls gathered together, cheering on Himeko in front of the live stream camera.

Himeko, who was usually so enthusiastic and bold, seemed a little hesitant.

Even Kiana was no longer as lively as before, sitting quietly in her chair, as timid as a little chick.

"Boss...why don't you come join our livestream? I've seen a lot of people online who want to meet you."

"I'm not going. Today is your and Kiana's day!"

Mo Li rejected Ji Zi's suggestion without even thinking about it.

"No! Boss, you have to set an example!!" Kiana said, running to Mo Li's side and grabbing his arm, pulling hard.

Mo Li shook his head helplessly: "Let's skip it this time. I'll appear on a live stream after Genshin Impact launches..."

"Besides, isn't Himeko streaming with you?"

"No way!" Kiana started to whine, "I won't be nervous if the boss is here!"

Just as Mo Li was in a dilemma, Mei smiled and patted Kiana's head, coming to Mo Li's rescue: "Alright Kiana, the live stream is about to start, go and sit in front of the camera."

"So fast!"

"Hmm, a few more minutes."

Kiana then turned to Mei and started acting cute: "Mei-neechan... I'm so nervous~"

"This..." Mei really spoils Kiana too much, even more than Durandal.

As soon as Kiana started acting cute, she turned to look at Mo Li, seemingly seeking help.

Mo Li: "..."

"If Mei-san wants to stream with Kiana, of course I won't stop her~"

Mei: "...In that case, Kiana, good luck..."

"Mei~ You're not going to help me anymore..."

"I can't help it, Kiana... I get really nervous about live streams too."

Seeing that both Qi Mei and Mo Li looked somewhat helpless, Bronya finally spoke up to comfort them:

"Actually, live streaming is very simple. After you start streaming, just greet the viewers, and then you don't need to pay attention to them. Just focus on playing the game."

Kiana muttered indignantly, "That sounds easy, but it's not that simple..."

Himeko's eyes lit up: "If I don't have to pay attention to the live stream... I really won't be nervous anymore."

Bronya nodded gently: "You don't need to worry about it, just focus on playing the game. We'll keep an eye on the stream for you."

Thanks, Bronya~

Kiana is, after all, just a high school girl.

After being comforted by Mei for a few words, he sat stiffly in front of the camera.

…………

As it approached 2 p.m., the girls gestured to Himeko and Kiana.

"Himeko, Kiana, let's begin~"

After saying that, Himeko's live stream finally started.

The moment it opened, countless spectators flocked to it.

Every Honkai Impact 3rd player who had free time flocked to Himeko's Douyin livestream without exception.

【Aww~~ It's finally open!】

【Aunt Himeko!!! Kiana!!!】

[Waaaaah~~ Himeko-neechan, do you know how I spent last night?! I didn't sleep a wink all night!!]

Wow!!! This is so similar!! They're practically identical!!

[If you dress them in Valkyrie armor, it'll be a 100% perfect recreation!!]

[The rumors have been debunked!! I will always love Aunt Himeko!!]

[So beautiful!! Himeko! Kiana! I want to get up close and personal with you two~~]

Where's your boss? Call him out here, I want to give him two big slaps as a reward!!

……

Kiana and Himeko were stunned by the screen full of comments.

Mo Li turned to Bronya and asked in a low voice, "How many people are there now?"

Bronya was silent for a moment, then said, "...A full 100 million people!!"

Even Mo Li was stunned when she heard the number.

He remembered that even Eden's previous live stream only had a few million viewers.

"Himeko and Kiana are that popular?!"

Bronya gently shook her head: "Himeko and Kiana are definitely not as popular as Eden."

"In my calculations, this is likely a result of the Douyin platform combined with the recent popularity of Honkai Impact 3rd."

"After all, the number of people watching live streams on that anime website is ultimately less than those watching on Douyin (TikTok)."

"I see……"

Douyin is, after all, the largest short video platform in China, so it naturally has a large user base.

Many viewers will stumble upon Himeko's live streams unintentionally.

At that time, even people who don't know Himeko will be attracted by the lively scene.

The popularity of Honkai Impact 3rd has been unusually high these past two days due to Eden, so the current number of viewers is acceptable.

"Cough cough..."

Himeko cleared her throat lightly before smiling and saying, "Hello everyone, I'm Himeko. The Murata Himeko in Honkai Impact 3rd was designed based on my character design."

After saying that, Himeko nudged Kiana's foot, signaling her to say something.

"Huh?!" Kiana, who was lost in thought, was startled by Himeko's kick.

After realizing what had happened, she looked at Himeko in confusion: "Aunt Himeko, why did you kick me?"

Himeko: "...(annoyed)"

"Hehehe~ Himeko-neechan, don't be angry, I just forgot for a moment, it just came out of my mouth..."

"..." Himeko silently stared at Kiana and found that the other seemed to have forgotten about the live stream and was not nervous at all.

Seeing this, Himeko decided not to remind Kiana anymore, and instead smiled:

"Let it go this time. The game has already been updated. Haven't you been wanting to experience the new storyline for a while now?"

"So fast!" Kiana exclaimed with delight, pulling up a chair and getting closer to the computer.

She first claimed the game's update gift pack, which contained 300 crystals, and then checked out the updated events.

During this time, the live chat was also incredibly lively.

[Hahaha... When Kiana called out "Aunt Himeko," I felt like I could see the murderous intent in Himeko's eyes!]

Is this how Kiana and Himeko usually interact? It's so cute, haha!

Is this just a publicity stunt?

[It doesn't seem like it. If it really is just a show, then Kiana and Himeko's acting skills are amazing...]

Don't underestimate people! Do you know why voice actors are also called "actors"?

I know that; voice actors also need acting skills...
