Chapter 36: Big Duck Bronya, Little Duck Silver Wolf!
HOMU Game Live Streaming Platform. Gaming Category.
Silver Wolf sat cross-legged in her gaming chair, controller in hand, blowing a bubble with her gum. She was currently playing a game called HOMU Kart.
[Is the streamer breaking game records again? That's insane!]
[Breaking eight records in a single day? You are my god!]
[New here? Do you know about Getting Over It? That game had everyone crying for their parents, but the streamer could speedrun it in a single day!]
[Holy crap? That's too OP!]
Silver Wolf casually broke the record for the "Beyond the Clouds" map while offhandedly replying, "That game? It definitely had some difficulty, but to me, it was nothing." Her words were not empty boasting. Any viewer familiar with Silver Wolf knew how terrifying the gaming talent of this seemingly petite girl truly was. Since her debut, she had cut through every game like a hot knife through butter, leaving behind numerous legends. As a professional player participating in major tournaments, she took home prize money until her hands were soft.
She had silver-grey hair with blue highlights and a gradient at the ends. She wore rabbit-ear hair accessories and goggles, a black hairpin, and black stud earrings. Her outfit consisted of an asymmetrical black-and-white拼接 (patchwork) inner garment, a white fur-collared crop-top jacket adorned with circular badges, zipped only slightly, and printed with game controller buttons, lines, logos, and pixel patterns. She wore black half-finger gloves. Her lower half featured low-waist fishnet micro-shorts with streamers hanging from the side. On her feet were athletic boots worn with a single fishnet stocking.
However, Silver Wolf rarely showed herself this way. In fact, she never showed her real face during streams. Even in offline gaming competitions, a mask was her standard equipment. Therefore, her fans only knew that Silver Wolf was a young girl; as for anything else, they were completely in the dark.
If Su Mu were to see Silver Wolf's true appearance, he would be absolutely stunned. In fact, he had certainly heard the name "Silver Wolf," but his preconceived notions led him to believe the "Bronya" by his side was the "Silver Wolf." After all, the name "Silver Wolf of the Urals" was more than familiar to a veteran Captain like Su Mu.
Su Mu naturally played Honkai: Star Rail as well, where Silver Wolf could be considered Bronya's counterpart in the Star Rail universe. As for the Great Guardian of Belobog? One could only say the Star Rail worldview was too vast; it was normal for two similar people to appear in the massive universe. Therefore... in this world, the appearance of a "Big Duck" and a "Little Duck" didn't seem entirely incomprehensible...
Wait? Does that mean there might be several Meis as well? If that many Meis gathered together, wouldn't Kiana die of happiness?
In Star Rail, Silver Wolf was a super hacker who viewed the universe as a game. No matter how thorny the defense system, Silver Wolf could crack it with ease. Her data battle with Screwllum of the "Genius Society" had already become a legend in the hacker world. In this world, she was likewise an out-and-out genius hacker girl.
[Can the streamer review Honkai Impact 3rd?]
[Is the streamer watching Honkai 3rd?]
Silver Wolf couldn't help but feel curious. Lately, she had been buried in climbing the various leaderboards of HOMU Kart. Although she had heard some rumblings about Honkai 3rd, she hadn't expected so many people to want her opinion.
"It seems this game called Honkai 3rd is really popular..."
A strong sense of curiosity rose within Silver Wolf. She paused her journey of climbing the ranks and opened the "Pink TV" bullet-chat site. After watching the debut PV of Honkai 3rd, honestly, she felt an itch in her heart; she couldn't stay still.
"Battleships, girls, armor, sci-fi?"
Silver Wolf was no longer bored. As a veteran player, she naturally understood the current games on the market. To put it bluntly, she had tried ninety-nine percent of them... and honestly, the games in this world were too boring! So boring that Silver Wolf had even thought about making her own! Now, she felt her eyes light up because of the Honkai 3rd video!
"The setting is way too cool!"
After opening the Honkai Impact 3rd pre-registration website, she found character introductions and illustrations, along with some world-building and settings.
"Honkai, a periodic disaster..."
The mysterious disaster "Honkai" erodes the world. Humans infected by Honkai turn into "Zombies"—creatures with no thought, only a drive for destruction. Together with the massive monsters born from the Honkai known as "Honkai Beasts," they pose a massive threat to the world. The only ones who can resist the Honkai are certain young girls who possess "Honkai resistance," forming the "Valkyrie" squads. These brave girls don cold mecha, take up heavy weapons, and fight against the Honkai. Fighting for all that is beautiful in the world, in a world eroded by Honkai, the Valkyrie units composed of brave girls unfold their battle to protect the world!
"Kiana Kaslana..." "Raiden Mei..." "Bronya Zaychik...?!"
Seeing that familiar name, Silver Wolf's eyes widened. She never expected to see that name in a game! Originally, Silver Wolf was only interested in the game itself. Now, the moment she saw she could control Bronya, her hand gripping the mouse began to tremble slightly.
To "Silver Wolf"... that name held a very significant meaning. She had inherited the title "Silver Wolf" from an important person. Years ago... by chance, Silver Wolf and Bronya had met. Since their appearances were nearly identical and both possessed terrifying gaming talent, they quickly became inseparable partners. To Silver Wolf, Bronya was both a mentor and a friend—and a rival.
But afterward, Bronya claimed the games in this world were too uninteresting. She wanted to develop an AI that would allow everyone who loved games to create their own. For this reason, Bronya chose to retire from the gaming world and join Anti-Entropy. Before leaving, Bronya chose to pass down the name "Silver Wolf."
However, upon learning of the failure of Bronya's project and the reasons behind it, Silver Wolf had rarely lost her temper at Bronya.
"Are you going to betray your dream? Didn't we have a promise? From now on, you would work as Bronya so that more games could exist in the world, and I would continue to write our legend in the gaming world as Silver Wolf!" "Traitor, liar! Bronya, I hate you the most!"
As the past was brought up again, Silver Wolf couldn't help but feel a bit irritable. She wasn't someone good at socializing, which was why she made a living as a hacker and game streamer. Therefore, she valued friendship exceptionally highly. Now, seeing that name appear, she was naturally angry.
Silver Wolf spat out her bubble gum and said crossly into the microphone: "Trash game, even a dog wouldn't play it!"
Stinky Bronya, I hope your game flops! You traitor!
