I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

And when did he put the cornerstone in that kind of place?!

The gold dust was caught off guard by this remark, and he choked on his breath, almost unable to catch his breath.

This is a live broadcast!

If this gets out, it's one thing for him to lose face, but it will also damage the company's image!

"Hmph, do you think I, the brilliant strategist, couldn't guess your methods for bringing the cornerstone into Pinocchio?"

Seeing Sand Gold's discomfiture, Star became even more confident, crossed his arms, and his face seemed to say, "I've seen through everything."

"You company lackey, you underestimate my extraordinary wisdom!"

"Anywhere the family can't find out—it's obvious even to a fool—it can only be your backyard!"

"After all, if it's hidden here, unless someone with homosexual desires wants to personally test your cunt on Sunday, who will be able to find out?"

Don't be fooled by these few short sentences; they are all the result of Xing's meticulous work.

It encapsulates the essence of three Tang-style, or rather, Xing-style performance rules.

First rule: Don't cede the power of discourse to your opponent—the show is something you have to reclaim!

The second rule: Never let the audience guess how the plot will unfold!

Article 40: Audiences always expect more melodramatic character relationships and more extreme plot twists.

The first two sentences are strong and steal the show.

The third line is a surprising twist that defies expectations; viewers definitely wouldn't have guessed it.

The fourth line adds a more graphic and disturbing plot, incorporating the essential knowledge she gained from the simulated universe, the global locust plague—Gouzi Literature.

Xing felt a surge of smug satisfaction.

Hmph, I'm a genius!

What's wrong with Qiongzai not giving her more screen time?

She does everything herself and is self-sufficient!

Xing's words not only silenced Sand Gold.

Old Yang, who was running wildly with Mei, almost stumbled.

Himeko, who had run to the edge of the theater and stepped inside, stopped and silently retreated.

She suddenly remembered Kafka's inexplicable words from last time.

Is this how you raise children?

Could it be that there's something wrong with how I've raised Xing?

Originally, it was just a mental overreaction, but now it's gone so mad it's almost inhuman. It's all because of what Qiong did!

"..."

Sand Gold had nothing to say. As an experienced gambler and a senior elite in the company, he knew that he couldn't follow Star's lead at this time, or he would be completely led astray.

and so.

Suddenly, Sha Jin gripped the gold dust in his hand and shouted loudly:

"I'll place the bets, I'll gamble, I'll win."

"I let fate turn its wheel, I gamble everything, and I survive every life-or-death situation."

The Stone Heart Ten is an elite team directly under the Diamond Depository Order. The official name for this position within the company is Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Expert. Its members come from diverse backgrounds, have different responsibilities, and there is even a history of multiple people taking turns.

The only thing they have in common is that they were all promoted by the diamond itself and granted an identity certificate called the Cornerstone, which is one-tenth of the power of the messenger.

The cornerstone of alluvial gold is called the Deceptive Alluvial Gold.

"All is dedicated to—the King of Amber!"

Golden light flowed across the gold-plated body, and the magnificent coat was sublimated and shaped by the power of the gold-plated base stone, causing the eerie and dazzling peacock feathers and swallowtails to flutter.

The heart-shaped nipple window on her chest was also surrounded by a dazzling blue light, and the protective power soared into the sky from the nipple window, coloring the entire sky with a brilliant golden hue.

"I rely on!"

The aura of the sand gold stirred up a wave of air, and Xing raised his flaming spear to block it in front of him, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

What cool lines! He stole the show again!

No!

To regain the upper hand in terms of momentum, Xing pointed her fiery spear to the sky, took out the script that Qiong had given her, and began to read it aloud.

"I'm going to grind myself to death, I'm going to pull gacha pulls, I'm going to guarantee the pity system."

"I've been carrying the burden for the lucky ones, but I've never gotten two golds. I've always gotten the wrong character but the wrong light cone."

"Everything is dedicated to—the guarantor!"

"Although he shouted it with great momentum, why did I feel like laughing when I heard it?"

The photographer, Xiao Sanyue, covered her mouth and looked to the other side.

"Pfft pfft pfft~! Hahaha~!"

In the distance, Haitu, who was in charge of broadcasting and stage management, was already lying on the ground, rolling around and laughing, clutching his stomach.

"Damn! What awful lines! What awful lines!"

Xing only realized what was happening after reading it aloud, and immediately tore up the script in her hand.

He gritted his teeth, took out his phone, and sent a message to his brat.

You tricked me!

"It was you who read it; what business is it of mine?"

Xingqi gritted her teeth, but since they were filming, she had to quickly come up with a good line while the camera was on the gold dust.

I'll come... I'll come...

[Qiongzai, I was wrong. I shouldn't have stolen the spotlight. Quickly write me some lines that will help me regain my composure.]

【Special Offer: 20 Crystals】

"This type of gate!"

Xing gritted her teeth and bought it!

The moment the message was sent, the dialogue came through, clearly indicating that the younger brother had been waiting for her all along.

We'll settle the score later!

Xing stepped forward gracefully to the side and shouted loudly.

"I will explore, I will build, I will connect."

"I will carry out my mission on my journey, reach for the stars and the moon, and turn disaster into a good story."

"All is dedicated to Akivili!"

That dashing figure and the resounding slogan, delivered through the transformation of the Haunted Rabbit, were heard by all the tourists at that moment.

That's a great line!

Getting 20 crystals doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Then, seemingly feeling that it wasn't enough, Xing added lines that she herself had come up with.

"You say my Flame Spear is just a inferior stone for the city builders, but there's no reason why you can't defeat the foundation stone without inferior stones."

Xing gripped the Flame Spear tightly, stared directly at the gold dust, and grinned:

"Do you still have enough dice and chips in reserve, you company lackey!"

After saying that, Xing launched an attack.

Flame Spear, charge!

"..."

Is this gray fur poisonous?

Sand Gold was speechless. He grabbed the spear tip with one hand and flung the guy away. This wasn't how the script was supposed to go!

Although he wasn't a dedicated actor, he was a businessman who kept his promises and honored what was written in the 'contract'.

So he obediently read out the rest of the lines from the script.

Why can birds fly?

"Because they must fly into the sky, when the chips fall from the heavens, only free birds can escape the gambling table."

"It has nothing to do with choices, and nothing to do with ideologies."

The eerie gold dust slowly floated into the sky, accompanied by dark clouds and rolling thunder.

He tossed a chip between two fingers into the sky, and the chip that flew out of his hand turned into a golden meteor, shooting into the heavens.

"Thousands of stones are added to this body, gold dust falls strangely, and heavenly wisdom pulls the code."

"Step forward, for this is the inscription of Heavenly Wisdom!"

The meteor exploded at its peak, and a golden canopy unfolded with visible spatial fluctuations, creating a magnificent golden ocean that enveloped the entire time zone.

Tens of millions of massive chips slowly emerged from the ripples in the void, raining down a magnificent meteor shower of chips upon the city.

The earth groaned in despair, and skyscrapers collapsed.

"..."

Xing fell silent.

These special effects are a bit too flashy, aren't they?

Oh well, anyway, her lines are already several times longer than the script Qiongzai gave her.

"Don't underestimate the friendship and bond between Kiana and me!"

Looking up at the rain of chips that could destroy the entire city, Xing, engulfed in flames and radiating amber light, shouted lines not in the script and charged forward again with his flaming spear in hand.

He stood in front of Kiana, then was overwhelmed by the chips.

She finished filming.

"Star~!"

Kiana cried out anxiously as she rushed toward the gray-haired girl who was drowning in chips, her face clearly showing grief and anger.

"And then, it's your turn, Miss Kiana. Let me witness the power of Heart Essence."

With a flick of his sand-gold fingers, round chips several meters in diameter fell like rocks mixed with rainwater.

This is part of the envoy's power.

Bai Lian is only a B-rank Valkyrie, without any powers or weapons, and currently only equipped with a badge that increases movement speed.

Naturally, it was utterly unable to resist the attack of placer gold.

The torrential rain grew increasingly fierce, with thunder deafening and howling winds that sounded like sobs in the darkness.

A deafening roar breaking the sound barrier came from afar, followed by a terrifying streak of crimson and dark lightning that destroyed everything in its path, flashing at dozens of times the speed of sound.

The moment you see the lightning, it's already right in front of you.

As the lightning dissipated, a tall and slender figure was revealed.

At this moment, Huang Quan was no longer as aloof and indifferent as before; his face was full of anxiety and panic.

Then she saw a white-haired girl, buried under the chips, on the verge of death.

Her pale face gave off a strange sense of impending death, but a hint of relief and joy flickered in the girl's eyes, probably because she was happy to see Mei one last time.

"Mei~"

With a strained and forced smile, the girl raised her trembling hand, as if wanting to take Huang Quan's hand:

"Next time, shall we go to... the amusement park together?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the half-suspended hand fell, and the girl closed her eyes.

"You've arrived way too late, this uninvited guest..."
