Chapter 41 : Chapter 41, the new version, is still of high quality; is it necessary to return home?
Of course, one thing is one thing; the game is what matters most.
After finalizing certain matters with Herta, Xu Qiong quickly turned his attention back to the community.
Not long after the new version PV was released, a ton of analysis videos appeared in the community.
[Ten-Thousand-Word Analysis! The Paean of Re-creation in honkai: star rail's last version, those overlooked hidden foreshadowings.]
[Chitchat: What is Castorice's other half, and who is Tiresias?]
[New version PV content is extremely rich! Suspected main push scheduled? A new character, a black masked man, appears?]
Below the videos, many players were also discussing the plot.
Version 3.0 has ended, but players are still in a "riddle-maker" state. So everyone really wants to see what kind of tricks Xu Qiong can pull off in the new version to be worthy of a setting like the Triple Path?
Meanwhile, Guinaifen is also live streaming.
Since she previously discovered that Sushang also plays honkai: star rail, she pulled her over to start the stream together.
The PV mainly features shots of Mydei, Tribbie, Trinnon, and Trianne. The quality is high and seems to contain some hidden information.
For example, why Phainon suddenly stabbed Mydei with a sword, and the appearance of the black masked man wearing a mask.
[The Author didn't run away; the quality of this PV is still consistently high! Does a turn-based game really need such a huge investment?]
[To be honest, I thought they would just phone it in for this version.]
[Hurry up and update the version! Let's see how the main story is first. This version is related to Tribbie and Mydei!]
[Right, I haven't forgotten the Triple Path the Author mentioned. Setting the bar so high, I'm looking forward to how they'll round it out.]
While the discussion was ongoing in the livestream room...
The two of them couldn't wait to start the main story!
[Amphoreus 3.1 Main Story: Opening of the Gates, End of the Throne has begun!]
The opening was a recap of the previous 3.0 plot. Afterward, as some community bloggers had guessed, something indeed happened to Phainon.
So Stelle and Mydei teamed up, met Dan Heng halfway, entered the Trial of Strife, and started the Phainon Rescue Plan!
Guinaifen rubbed her hands in anticipation.
Anyway, she had just pulled a E6 Herta. Along the way, she just steamrolled any monsters she met; even a Chimera by the roadside would have to take an Imaginary Pulse to the face.
Soon they reached the Avatar of Strife and dealt with it in a few hits.
Just then, right after the BOSS fell, a cinematic suddenly played.
"Wait," Guinaifen stared at the screen, her mouth agape, "something seems wrong."
In the scene, Mydei and Stelle joined forces to contend with the Minions of Strife for a while.
Unexpectedly, as they fought, a white figure suddenly lunged forward with a sword!
Looking closely, it was Phainon!
"What's going on so suddenly?!" Even Sushang was stunned.
Just like the previous version, the Author liked to start with something big right out of the gate.
Guinaifen didn't know if Phainon was being controlled.
But as the blade drew closer, it was undoubtedly that scene from the previous PV.
She was so scared she closed her eyes instantly: "Stop!"
Until a 'shing' sound!
Crimson crystals scattered like roses, and the screen froze for a moment.
Mydei, however, then grabbed the sword blade, and the two were seen smiling at each other.
A forced perspective shot—!
[Huh?]
[Even deceiving the elderly?!]
[I'm shocked! That gave me a fright just now. Starting with something big like this again, and it's even the PV footage.]
[I thought Little Phai was going to stab Mydei to death, but it turns out the Author was playing with forced perspective?]
[I said so when I was analyzing the PV, it was most likely fake. The Author himself said it's a happy ending, how could he kill him off?]
When she regained her composure, not just the community, but Guinaifen herself couldn't keep it together.
That shot of Phainon stabbing Mydei in the previous PV had been analyzed to death by a bunch of bloggers.
And now you're telling her it was just a forced perspective shot?
Similarly, after finishing the new plot in Amphoreus, it was Mydei's turn to laugh:
"Haha, how about it, Deliverer?"
He crossed his arms, his eyebrows raised: "I told you not to get ahead of yourself. The Spark of Strife might not necessarily be yours."
"Now hasn't it failed?"
Phainon rubbed his head, looking quite miserable: "Why didn't I just stab you to death then? Anyway, you can resurrect infinitely."
In the hall outside Xu Qiong's room, besides Phainon and Mydei bickering...
The others were also discussing Xu Qiong's newly released PV.
[Cipher: These PV special effects! Why do they feel even cooler than in our reality? They even made the Little Prince look so overbearing?]
[Cipher: The Son of Gorgo even showed up? But why am I still not in it, when even Teacher Xia is there?]
[Anaxa: Even on the internet, you should call him Anaxagoras.]
[Anaxa: Also, I don't think a game can clearly show my image and philosophy, so there's nothing to be excited about.]
Although he said that, in reality, Anaxa, who was typing, had a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth as he tapped the screen.
[Aglaea: How nostalgic...]
Aglaea's words carried a deep sense of nostalgia.
[Aglaea: In my memory, My Teacher had always been in the form of a child. Now that he's suddenly changed back, to be honest, I still wasn't quite used to it when we first met.]
[Aglaea: But looking at the PV, it's My Teacher's turn this time (smiles).]
As everyone knows, the Chrysos Heirs have a support group.
And it was started by Cyrene!
At this moment, the group was chatting heatedly.
[Tiresias: Little Grey's PV is very vividly made. I'm looking forward to what 'we' look like in his heart.]
[Writing Furiously Xu Qiong.jpg]
Tiresias casually @'d Xu Qiong.
The reverted Tiresias, although her appearance and figure were quite different, was still very lively in terms of personality.
So it didn't feel too unfamiliar.
Just then.
Keluida and Hysilens, who were lurking, were very confused—well, mainly Keluida.
Theoretically, the current timeline is after the Golden War, right?
Then what about the two of them?
Could the subsequent plot involve a time reversal?!
...
And in just these few short minutes, the scene in the plot had already shifted to having brought Phainon back.
But the Spark of Strife ultimately needed someone to take it over, so undoubtedly, everything fell onto Mydei's shoulders.
In his conversation with Tribbie, Mydei expressed the fear in his heart.
Everyone of the Suspended Edge looked forward to Mydei leading them back home, even the tiny children.
So he found his master, Kratros, but the two of them ended up arguing because of it.
"Divine power is not the same as royal authority, and there is more than one way out for our clan than strife," Mydei pointed out his thoughts.
But in return, he only got the other's accusation: "You are well aware of the situation of the Xuanfeng People!"
"The Suspended Edge Lone Army that left the homeland with you, and their descendants... what has supported us until now is exactly the desire for old glory."
"If they knew that the crown prince, who is revered by the clansmen, had the thought of giving up, Mydmos, how would you explain it to your late mother?"
Hearing the two of them argue, and the subsequent appearance of the mural of Mydei's parents, Guinaifen was stunned.
"What on earth, fam? Mydei's father killed Mydei's mother."
"And then Mydei killed his father?!"
"Mydei's mother died at the other's hands, and it was to prevent Mydei from being cast into the sea?"
Guinaifen felt like her brain wasn't enough, and her head was spinning.
What is all this?
[It's over, Guinaifen's brain is overloaded!]
[Even though the Author's writing is a bit messy, I think I understand it.]
[A large-scale ethical drama!]
[Just asking, is this returning home very important? Why fixate on this explanation?]
[What kind of master is this? He's really annoying. If it were me, I wouldn't go back. What's wrong with staying in Okhema and living well?]
