Chapter 132, Version 2: Winter Night Fool's Play



Chapter 132, Version 2: Winter Night Fool's Play

In Silver Wolf's live stream, Silver Wolf released a fan-made video by Winter Night Fools, and then pressed the play button...

The video begins with a red butterfly fluttering in the wind and snow.

[Player: Huh? Isn't this a video that was released not long ago? It caused quite a stir back then.]

[Player 2: With Miss around, let's not speculate about those things. Miss must have her own reasons.]

[Player 3: Exactly! The young lady is an official game developer. What's the difference between that guy from a while back and a clown trying to grab attention?]

[Player 4: Not only do I have to pay to watch half of the PV, but it also costs 10,000 credits to watch the second half...]

[Player 5: I wonder which unlucky souls bought this.]

[Player 7: I glanced at the backend data, and there are probably tens of thousands of unsuspecting people who bought it.]

—In the background music of "la la~ la~ la la~", an ethereal voice hums a tune.

[Player 8: That's weird, the song in that guy's video doesn't seem to be this one... Has anyone heard it?]

Player 9: No, it's probably because that video was pirated.

Player 10: Never mind, let's keep watching.

—A butterfly flies onto a chess piece, and then the screen pulls back to reveal a chessboard with a man standing beside it.

"The mole thought he knew everything, but we realized that the only way to stop the mole from revealing anything was to expose our own secrets."

[Player: Goodness, not only is a lot of stuff missing from that video, but the fan-made version posted by the young lady seems to be directly targeting that video.]

[Player: A mole? That seems quite fitting.]

"The lady's demise will not mark the end of her story; it will only serve as a warning to us that being beaten up in Zhouben is her eternal destiny."

[Player: Ah, I didn't level up my character much when I first started playing, so the battles were really painful...]

[Player: Don't even mention it, I'm someone who loves sightseeing, and I got stuck trying to get through the main storyline.]

—The scene shifts, and from an aerial view, the camera turns towards the coffin, where the young female executive officer sits...

"Hoo~ Hoo hoo~" The female executive officer was snoring...

"Are you using a coffin lid as a pillow?! Don't fucking sleep here!" the clown sneered.

[Player: The young lady is so cute~]

[Player 2: Isn't she cute? But don't forget, in reality, she's one of the messengers of the Star God of Compassion.]

[Player: Oh...]

"We gather here today to commemorate our good companion, whose sacrifice is worth a full half-day of afternoon tea for the whole of winter," said the executive rooster.

"You still want to start the banquet!"

[Lady: So, according to the plot, my sacrifice is only half a day of afternoon tea? You guys actually got to eat and drink!]

[Rooster: Miss has released her main video, go check it out!]

[Clown: This is a fan-made video posted by the young lady, don't overthink it]

[Woman: I watched the main video, but I'm still going to curse you guys out, just you wait!]

[Player: Holy crap! We're meeting the Commanders, who are based on the three Executives!]

[Player 2: All the envoys have appeared, this video was worth it!]

[Player 3: The official account of the young lady has also released the official PV of Winter Night Fools. I watched it, and it's much better than that guy who wanted to charge for it back then.]

[Player 4: I watched it too. That guy's video had a lot of random stuff in it, while the young lady's video was completely clean and without any extraneous elements.]

[Player 5: When I posted that first video and it clashed with the official account of the "Miss" and caused various other problems, I felt something was wrong.]

[Player 6: One of the biggest culprits from back then has arrived. I really don't know what that guy was thinking. The first half was fine, but the second half was just a dozen or so women dressed as bunny girls dancing...]

[Player 7: I remember those women were characters from another game called Honkai Impact 3rd, the game where the young lady is played.]

[Player 8: Damn, what's wrong with that guy? He split a perfectly good video into two parts, and then the second half is so expensive. I can tell from the style of the beginning and end that he just cut it out.]

[Star: Oh? But it's okay, that guy won't show up again.]

[Qiong: Big sister is so powerful and domineering!]

[Player 9: As expected of the young lady, she's quick on her feet.]

"In just half a day, the Northern Bank has been filled with blood, tears, and wailing. So if you want to hold a banquet, I, the rich man, will pay the bill on the spot!" the executive rich man said with a smile.

"You're really going to start the feast, aren't you?!"

“Rosalyn’s fall in unfamiliar lands is unimaginable to you streetlights who are all talk and no action but make excuses to eat, so if we’re going to have a feast, please give me Dark Yura and a table full of good wine!” said the executor’s servant.

"I already said I didn't want the banquet to start, can't you at least show her some respect!"

[Player: The newbie is trembling with fear, wanting to say something but can only suppress it and dare not speak]

[Player 2: What's there to be afraid of? It's just the servant's character model and Yura's character model...]

[Player 3: Good grief, how's the guy upstairs?]

[Player 4: Will I get captured by the fools under the command of the envoys?]

[Clown: I have no records of the Fatui's movements here, and the Fatui wouldn't randomly arrest people for a little joke, so please don't play this kind of game.]

Player 2: Hehe~

【servant:……】

[Yura: Traveler! What does Dark Yura mean?! Hmph, I'll remember this grudge.]

[Star: Hehe~!]

[Ying: It seems the Traveler has been corrupted by Wendy, that drunkard.]

[Jin: Lord Barbatos...]

[Freedom Barbatos: What does Wendy's corrupting influence on travelers have to do with me, the free star god Barbatos?]

Wendy: Hehe~

"That's right, we've only gotten into the weekly event first. When you guys get into the weekly event, I'll join you at your table," said Executor Dadalia.

"How can there be people who want to eat at the banquet in the opposite direction?!"

"I'm so grateful!" The executive puppet sat in the giant mechanical hand.

"Is it that funny?!"

"Although her methods tarnished her honor, her sacrifice is still regrettable. After all, Rosalyn is our greatest... cough cough! most powerful woman," said the executive captain.

"But what about [Doctor], [Scattered Soldier], and Inazuma's Heart of God?"

"You're exaggerating, aren't you? Where are you focusing your attention?"

[Lady: First seat, you...]

[Captain: This is a fan fiction piece by the young lady; please don't take it as reality. I'm not that kind of person.]

[Hanabi: It looks like it would be a lot of fun if we caused some trouble~]

Sambo: You bunch of messengers, if you want to get out of here alive, don't even think about all that nonsense.

[Qiong: Good grief, suddenly some people have appeared.]

[Star: @Fireworks Come to me, I'll give you something much more fun. Don't go looking for fun in the Teyvat region.]

[Fireworks: Here we come~]
