Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

Dr. Einstein explained methodically.

"The Dr. Tesla in the tent is not your quantum superposition cat, Ai Yin!"

Xia Yuan felt inexplicably exhausted... all he wanted to do was pack up the game cartridges and leave...

Since Aiyin isn't leaving, I'm leaving!

Xia Yuan, clutching his game cartridge, which he considered a family heirloom, left the tent without looking back.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, suspect, you forgot your [notice board] and [the bowl outside the tent]?"

Dr. Einstein put his hand to his mouth and shouted loudly to Xia Yuan outside the tent.

But Xia Yuan did not respond. Instead, he quickened his pace and gradually disappeared from Ai Yin's sight.

"What a pity, there was clearly a hundred yuan left in the bowl by a kind person."

I'll give it to Xia Yuan when I have the chance to see him later.

As for now...

Dr. Einstein is trying to figure out how to bring Dr. Tesla, who weighs over 100 pounds, back with him.

Xia Yuan kept signing for the packages.

Looking at the huge pile of Houmu merchandise, Xia Yuan's eyes welled up with tears of sadness.

"Waaaaah... That wretched Bronya! She'd rather spend all her money on Houm merchandise than reimburse her subordinates for expenses and delay their wages!"

"When I'm rich, I'm going to buy up all the Homura merchandise in Sky City, so Bronya can never buy a Homura again."

Just as Xia Yuan was lost in thought...

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Little Angel Seele~

Xia Yuan was even preparing to personally travel to Paradise.

He was willing to sell his soul and body to drink with Eden...

Xia Yuan believed that as long as he could make Eden happy~

I am absolutely certain that I can become the richest person in Sky Dome City!

No more working hard here and being bullied by Dr. Einstein and Bronya.

"Oh, is this Xiaoyuan? Is Bronya free right now? I made some cookies to visit you~"

Just as Xia Yuan was lost in thought, a soft and sweet voice reached his ears.

Seele held the carefully prepared gift box in both hands.

Even without opening it, one can tell that Seele's feelings are contained inside.

When she saw Xia Yuan notice Xi'er, she tilted her head slightly and smiled as she looked at Xia Yuan.

Seele's angelic smile seemed to dispel the gloom and darkness in Xia Yuan's heart.

The origin of the name Xiaoyuan...

"Xier, this is my silly subordinate, just call him Xiaoyuan~"

Xia Yuan recalled the scene when Bronya led him and Seele to their first meeting. Bronya's teasing made the innocent Seele believe it and she continued to call her by her nickname.

His boss, Bronya, always called him "stupid subordinate."

However, for Xia Yuan, there was a strange sense of intimacy when Xi'er called him Xiao Yuan.

There's less distance and more intimacy.

"Xiao Yuan, are you feeling unwell?"

Seele placed the gift box containing cookies aside and reached out to touch Xia Yuan's forehead.

"Strange... there's no sign of fever on the forehead, but the temperature on the cheeks..."

When Seele reached out to him, Xia Yuan felt his cheeks gradually becoming hot.

"Cough cough... Seele, I'm fine. Bronya... she seems to be on her way back, she should be back soon!"

Xia Yuan quickly stepped back and waved his hand.

It's uncertain how long Bronya will spend browsing for the Houmu doll.

But for Seele's smile at this moment, Xia Yuan was willing to risk being disliked by Bronya to pull Bronya away from Houmu!

Xia Yuan made a silent vow to himself.

Xi'er clearly sensed that Xia Yuan's current state was not quite right.

"Sister Bronya... Xiaoyuan is sick, yet you still made him help you get the Houmu doll. When Sister Bronya comes back, I'm going to talk to her and tell her not to treat Xiaoyuan like this anymore."

Wait, what's that basket of cassette tapes?

Seele is very thoughtful.

As she was thinking this, she also noticed that besides the bunch of Houmu dolls that were most likely bought by Bronya, there was also a basket of game cartridges engraved with the words "Honkai Adventure" around Xia Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan, were those game cartridges originally intended to be sold?"

Thinking of Bronya's job as a "game producer," Seele, filled with doubt and apology, asked softly.

"Seele, actually it's like this..."

This time, Xia Yuan didn't embellish the story; he honestly recounted his ordeal to Xi'er.

"Winning first place as the game producer and then having to sell all these game cartridges... Bronya, this is clearly putting Xiaoyuan in a difficult position... But why would Bronya do this?"

Seele decided to wait until Bronya arrived and then ask her properly for an explanation.

However, given that Obuchi is currently ill, it is clearly impossible for him to sell all the remaining game cartridges.

"Um... Xiaoyuan... if you don't mind, could I buy all those game cartridges?"

Bronya's actions towards Xia Yuan filled Seele with remorse and self-blame.

Seele wants to undo the mistakes her sister Bronya made.

Xia Yuan was incredulous, and the Houmu doll he was holding accidentally fell to the ground.

Indeed, there's no one better than Seele in this world~

He then suppressed his excitement and tears, and held Seele's hands tightly.

"Seele, you really are my little angel!"

"Hey, actually I didn't do anything..."

Bronya seems to have done something very wrong to you, Obuchi. I just want to make it up to you as much as possible...

Seele said somewhat shyly.

Just as Xia Yuan happily accepted the bank card that Xi'er handed him...

whoosh-

A black claw with a chain precisely snatched the bank card that Xia Yuan was about to obtain.

"Seele, don't believe his nonsense, this kid is probably lying to you!"

Unable to endure it any longer in the consciousness space, Hei hope appeared in reality.

She herself had never been so intimately touched on the head or shaken hands with by Seele, yet this kid had taken advantage of her.

Hei hope stared at Xia Yuan with hostility.

Xia Yuan looked at Hei hope not far away and realized that he had been careless and neglected that Xi'er had another personality, and had actually forgotten about Hei hope, this little jealous person.

"Your other self, you're not allowed to talk to Xiaoyuan like that. Apologize to Xiaoyuan right now."

"What? Apologize to him? No way!"

Hei hope raised her little head, even looking at Xia Yuan with disdain.

Seeing that her other self remained unmoved, Seele sighed.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyuan, the other me caused you trouble, but she's actually a very good child, just not good at expressing herself. Xiaoyuan, please don't take it to heart."

Hearing Seele's words, Black Seele felt an indescribable sense of grievance.

He clearly showed up to help Seele and prevent her from being fooled by this jerk, so why did he end up being lectured by Seele instead?

Hei hope recalled that she was in the consciousness space.

Besides observing what Seele is doing every day....

Another hobby is lying on his throne and watching soap operas.

From these dramas....

Hei hope realized a truth.

Men are all big jerks, it must be his fault!

As Hei hope pondered, his gaze toward Xia Yuan grew even more somber.

We need to find an opportunity to quietly get rid of this jerk. Once he's gone, Seele will definitely be able to go back to normal.

"Okay, okay, Seele, I understand. I'll go apologize to him right away and apologize properly."

Hei hope seemed to have an idea and continued walking towards Xia Yuan.

The ear-piercing noise from the chain claws scraping against the ground was clearly not an apology. Seeing that Hei Xi was closing in, Xia Yuan quickly hid behind Xi'er.

"My other self, you can't do anything reckless. You need to apologize to Xiaoyuan properly."

"Don't worry, Seele, I'll definitely be fine, and I'll formally apologize to this stinky... cough cough... Xiao Yuan~"

Hei Xi looked at Xia Yuan with a smile, but the smile on her lips looked very stiff and unnatural.

He placed his hand heavily on Xia Yuan's shoulder.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Seele's Inner World

Hei hope whispered close to Xia Yuan's ear:

"Come with me, you stinky man, and don't make a sound. If you dare tell Xier!"

You can see for yourself whether my chain claws are faster or your voice travels faster, but I advise you not to do that. After all, I never hold back when I strike, and I might accidentally cut your skin or sever your artery.

Hei hope's fingertips touched Xia Yuan's neck threateningly.

Xia Yuan nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice, now his life was in Hei hope's hands.

It seems there's no other way but to agree.

After all, Little Ellie wasn't around, and he couldn't possibly beat Miss Blackie...

Hei hope led Xia Yuan to the corner.

At this moment, Seele could not hear their conversation clearly, and could only vaguely see their backs.

"It seems like my other self is patting Xiaoyuan on the back. They seem to be having a great time chatting... Great... My other self has made another good friend."

Seele placed her hands in front of her and smiled happily, genuinely happy for her other self.

But the reality was completely different from what Seele had imagined...

"You brat, stay away from Xier. Don't let me see you again, or you'll face the consequences, you understand?"

Hei Xi, like a female gang leader, kept patting Xia Yuan on the back, seemingly warning him in this way.

Xia Yuan shook his head, trembling, indicating that he did not understand.

"Do you genuinely not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"

bang-

Before Xia Yuan could even see Hei hope make a move, a telephone pole at the corner was instantly split into five pieces, the cut surfaces of which were extremely smooth and rolled evenly around Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan was pondering a question: Could this be considered vandalism?

Just then...

Hei hope extended her fingertip and lifted Xia Yuan's chin, making him look up at her.

"You stinky man, do you understand now?"

"If I wanted to, I could instantly split you into five equal parts, or perhaps even more?"
