Help! My Honkai Impact 3rd Livestream Attracted the Actual Characters!

Chapter 107: This Is Fu Hua's Story, A Tale of an Immortal Descending to the Mortal Realm

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Ahh, I didn't expect the new main story to be completed so soon! So~ what's next?'

As the main storyline officially concluded, a pink-colored chat bubble floated across the screen.

Elysia's question perfectly captured the thoughts of the audience.

After all—the main story was over.

So what would come next?

Hokuto understood this well, so to keep the audience engaged, he casually responded:

"Next, I need to take care of my daily and weekly missions."

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Eh? That's it? There's nothing more exciting? That's such a shame~ But don't worry, I'll keep you company!'

"Thanks, Fairy Miss. Ahem! But don't worry, I'll be completing the event [Legends of Shenzhou] today."

Hearing Hokuto's words, Elysia's interest was immediately piqued.

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'An event… Legends of Shenzhou? What's that?'

"You can think of it as a time-limited story chapter. It's mainly tied to the featured character on the current event banner. The main story's banner was Durandal, but this event's banner is different."

This was a long-standing tradition in Mihoyo games—whenever a new character was released, they would come with a dedicated story, short film, or even a theme song.

And most of the time, the production quality was exceptional—with each new release only getting better.

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Ohhh, I see! But now I'm curious~ What's this event's story about?'

Seeing Elysia's chat bubble pop up, Hokuto couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

At this point, she had definitely become one of his most dedicated viewers.

And not gonna lie—her enthusiasm was pretty nice to have around.

"It's about Immortal Fu Hua's story."

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Eh?!'

『Today's Performance Wasn't Perfect:』 '...Huh?'

Two chat messages appeared at the same time.

One from Elysia.

The other from Hua herself—the actual person being exposed in this event.

Never in her wildest dreams did Hua expect that, after Mei, Kiana, Bronya, Otto, and Kevin all had their moments in the spotlight…

It was now her turn?!

Seated beside her, Elysia suddenly spoke up in an excited tone.

"Hehe~ Hua, you're about to become the protagonist!"

"No! I don't want to be the protagonist!"

The very thought of her past being put on full display, just like Kevin's had been, made Hua want to destroy the entire livestream.

Unfortunately…

She couldn't do that right now.

If she wanted to stop this, then she had to stop the streamer.

"We should try talking to him first. Maybe we can convince him to drop it."

Hua suggested a desperate last attempt.

But unfortunately—

Neither of her companions were on her side.

"What are you talking about, Hua? I care about you a lot~ So of course I want to watch! "

Elysia, as always, was thriving off the drama.

And Mobius?

She was even worse.

"Tsk, why are you being so timid? It's just a little exposure. You're not going to lose anything~ Hehe. Now hush, it's starting. "

With no other choice, Hua reluctantly focused on the livestream feed.

At this moment, the game was playing the event's opening cutscene.

Saint Freya Academy – Student Dormitory

In the scene, Fu Hua—or rather, "Herself"—was looking after Kiana.

[Feeling any better, Kiana?]

[Uuuhh… my stomach… my stomach still hurts… Class monitor, am I going to die?]

[I already gave you medicine. You should feel better after resting for a while. If it still hurts, I'll take you to see the school nurse.]

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Wait, wasn't Hua captured by Kevin? And why is Kiana having a stomachache? Is it from the injuries she got fighting Mei on the rooftop?'

A pink-colored chat bubble floated across the screen, showing Elysia's clear confusion.

It was obvious—she hadn't yet realized that event stories are separate from the main storyline.

Or rather—that this was a story set in a parallel timeline.

As a considerate and responsible streamer, Hokuto naturally took the time to explain.

"Ahem! Event stories usually don't follow the main story. What you're seeing now takes place before the main story even began."

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Ohh, I see! Thanks for explaining~'

As Elysia's message floated past, Fu Hua's character in the game finally revealed the true cause of Kiana's stomachache.

[Though, getting a stomachache because you ate an entire plate of raw dumplings… I doubt the school nurse would believe that.]

『...?』

Such an utterly ridiculous reason immediately flooded the chat with countless question marks.

No one had expected this.

Who in their right mind would eat raw dumplings?

Well—Kiana did.

And the price she paid was agonizing stomach pain…

[I couldn't help myself! It's all the class monitor and Mei's fault for making the dumplings smell so good…]

[Oh, right! Class monitor, did you remember to tell Mei to save me a bowl of beef dumplings?]

Even in this state, Kiana was still thinking about food.

Her love for eating knew no bounds.

[You should focus on resting. Once you feel better, Mei and I will make more for you.]

[Uuuugh… How long do I have to wait…? Class monitor, can you tell me a story? That way, time will pass faster!]

[A story…? Since it's almost New Year's, how about I tell you the tale of the Nian Beast?]

After their conversation ended, the game transitioned into a CG cutscene.

The first image on-screen was Kiana resting her head on Fu Hua's lap, peacefully dozing off.

Then, Fu Hua's narration began.

"Long ago, in the lands of Shenzhou, there was a fearsome beast known as 'Nian.'

'Nian' dwelled deep beneath the ocean, never concerning itself with the world above…

But every New Year's Eve, 'Nian' would emerge, wreaking havoc upon the land.

And yet, the people of Shenzhou did not fear it. In fact, they held great festivals in celebration.

Because on the eve of each new year, whenever the beast appeared…

A certain immortal would descend from the heavens to drive it away and protect the peace of Shenzhou.

And that immortal's name was—"

[blockhead?]

Just as Fu Hua was about to reveal the immortal's name, the screen was suddenly engulfed in white light.

Then, from the blinding glow—

A small, barefoot girl with long hair and an oversized robe appeared on-screen.

She lay lazily on a stone platform, propping her head up with one arm, looking completely bored.

At that moment, the entire chat froze in shock.

『Wait… isn't that…』

『No way. Why is she here?!』

『This… this can't be…』

『Huh??』

The girl who had caught everyone off guard was none other than Ji Xuanyuan, one of the key researchers of the Previous Era.

Or more accurately—a puppet created in her image.

[We've been meditating here for three hours already. Aren't you hungry?]

As the puppet teased Fu Hua, the CG slowly zoomed out, revealing another figure.

Fu Hua sat cross-legged atop a stone platform, dressed in traditional robes, her eyes closed in meditation.

[A calm heart is a peaceful heart.]

And with that—the protagonist of this event, Fu Hua, officially made her appearance.

The CG came to an end, and the game transitioned into dialogue mode.

On-screen, the small puppet from before appeared once again.

Displayed above her dialogue box was her name—Book of fuxi

At this moment, she was casually seated atop the actual Book of fuxi weapon, looking at Fu Hua with a teasing smirk.

[Then you can keep meditating. I'm going to find something to eat… Ah, why is it that our temple only ever has dry rations?]

[Simple meals or gourmet feasts—both are merely sustenance.]

At that moment, Fu Hua's figure appeared on the screen.

She stood tall, dressed in flowing cloud-patterned robes, one hand clasped behind her back—her entire presence radiating an immortal's serene grace.

[That may be true, but eating something delicious always makes people a little happier!]

[Oh, right! When you go fight the Nian Beast in a few days, take me with you! I haven't had the meat buns from the village shop in so long!]

[If you wish to go, we may descend the mountain today. There is no need to wait for the Nian Beast.]

[Besides, I already defeated it seven days ago. By now, it should be recovering in the abyss.]

Fu Hua calmly stated a fact that left the audience speechless.

Hearing this, Book of fuxi was first delighted—then immediately horrified.

[Hehe, I knew you were the best, Immortal! …Wait, hold on. You just said… you already defeated the Nian Beast seven days ago?!]

[Mm.]

[Aahhh! Blockhead! You really are just a Blockhead who only knows how to fight beasts!]

Fu Hua was genuinely puzzled.

[What do you mean?]

[Hah? Don't tell me you don't know! "According to the Chronicles of Taoyuan Village, Volume 13: 'Every New Year's Eve, the Nian Beast wreaks havoc. The Immortal descends from the heavens and defeats it on the eastern mountain. This day marks the beginning of a new year, celebrated with feasts and offerings of cattle and sheep.'"]

Fu Hua finally realized the issue.

[So according to this, the day I defeat the Nian Beast is what marks the beginning of the new year. But this time, I drove it back into the abyss before New Year's Eve… meaning the village's calendar may now be thrown into chaos.]

[Exactly! But more importantly—I waited an entire year for the festival! My meat buns! My candied hawthorn! My steamed rice cakes! They're all gone!]

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Ehehe~ Is little Ji Xuanyuan really worried about the calendar? Or does she just care more about the food? Yep, just as I thought—besides dressing up and looking cute, beautiful girls love sweets the most!'

A pink-colored chat bubble floated across the screen.

Clearly, the book of fuxi couldn't care less about the calendar issue.

What mattered to her was—

Was there good food or not?

To her, disrupting the calendar didn't seem like a big deal at all.

But to Fu Hua in the game, this was a serious problem.

[Desire for food is a minor concern. But the disruption of the calendar—that is no trivial matter.]

[Ji Xuanyuan, do you have a way to fix this?]

Instead of answering, Book of fuxi pouted in frustration.

[How are we supposed to fix this…? You already chased the Nian Beast back into the abyss. What, do you want to go down there and bring it back up?]

[That would not be impossible.]

[My dear Immortal, can you please not give me a heart attack? The abyss exists between illusion and reality. You can't just waltz in and out of it whenever you please! Absolutely not!**]

But just as she was about to reject the idea outright—

She froze.

And then—

Her thought process rapidly changed.

[Wait… illusion and reality… That's it! There's still hope! My meat buns… My snacks… They can still be saved!]

[All we need is for the villagers to see you defeat the Nian Beast on New Year's Eve, right?]

In her excitement, Book of fuxi accidentally blurted out her real motivation.

[Taoyuan Village is rich with materials and supplies. We can just build a fake Nian Beast for you to fight!]

Of course—this morally questionable plan was immediately rejected by Fu Hua.

[Deception is a dishonorable path. We must find another way.]

[Ahhh, come on! At least it's still a solution! It's still early—there's no time to waste! Let's head to Taoyuan Village right now!]

Nightfall – Taoyuan Village

After finishing her shopping, Book of fuxi couldn't help but sigh.

[Oil paint, dyed fabric, hemp rope… and all of this only cost half a tael of silver? This New Year's clearance sale really is one of humanity's finest creations!]

Book of fuxi cheerfully marveled at her shopping haul, while Fu Hua, standing beside her, remained silent, deep in thought.

Noticing this, Book of fuxi quickly spoke up to comfort her.

[Alright, alright, Immortal, no need to keep feeling guilty. We've already found a solution, haven't we? Cheer up, cheer up~]

[No, I was thinking about something else.]

[Tonight, the village is thick with Yin energy. I fear that some beasts may take this opportunity to strike…]

The moment she finished speaking, a panicked young girl's scream echoed through the village.

[A-AHHH! M-MONSTER!]

Book of fuxi stared in disbelief.

[…Is your mouth blessed or something?!]

[Xixi, prepare for battle.]

[W-WAIT, WAIT! If you really want to save people…]

Before she could finish, the game suddenly switched scenes.

A scroll unraveled on the screen, revealing a collection of weapons spread out before Fu Hua.

[Here, pick a weapon first.]

[…What is this?]

Fu Hua was completely stunned by the sight.

And she wasn't the only one—even the livestream chat was filled with shock.

But it wasn't because they didn't recognize the weapons.

It was because they did.

[Found these antiques during the last temple cleanup. They were in that old sandalwood chest under your bed. Thought they might still be usable, so I kept them.MHIII Light Machine Gun, G666 Shotgun, HKII Laser Emitter, FFF Flamethrower… oh, never mind, that one's past its warranty.]

[In any case, no matter which one you choose, it'll still cause far less destruction than your bare fists.]

Hearing that, Fu Hua's expression grew even more bewildered.

[…Why are you showing me these?]

[Because, if you go all out in this village, Immortal, you're going to have to pawn me off just to afford the repair costs.**]

[…Thank you.]

[You can thank me later! Now focus—we've got people to save!]

With that, the game transitioned into actual gameplay.

Unlike the 3D action combat of the main story, this event featured a side-scrolling 2D shooter mode.

Gameplay Mechanics – "The Immortal With a Gun"

Players controlled Fu Hua, armed with an automatic rifle, to eliminate enemies.Her special ability? Throwing grenades to wipe out clusters of foes.

With a barrage of bullets and explosions, the enemies in the level were swiftly annihilated.

As Fu Hua approached the rescued girl, two small figures appeared on-screen—

One pink, one blue.

[L-Liliya, d-don't be scared! Big sister will protect you!]

[You say that… yet you're hiding behind me without hesitation?]

『my favorite sister Bronya:』 '…Them? Why are they here? And why do they… look like that?'

A blue-colored chat bubble floated across the screen.

The sender? Seele, from Cocolia's orphanage.

At that moment, she was completely caught off guard.

Never did she expect that she would see the Arlene Sisters appearing in the game like this…

End of Chapter 107.
