In the program, Jimi was still reading from the script.
"Releasing the basic attack Stone Fire Flowing Light, Jing Yuan will swing his formation blade, dealing Lightning attribute damage to a designated single target."
As soon as Jimi finished speaking, Black Cutter suddenly jumped up, then kept making swishing sounds, occasionally mixed with the clash of metal.
Jimi was startled by this sudden situation. The whole bird almost jumped up. But seeing that Black Cutter was not attacking and was only making noises, it calmed down a little.
Then it saw Nero nodding as he listened to Black Cutter's movements, a look of understanding on his face, as if he understood what Black Cutter was saying.
Jimi frowned. Although it felt a bit unrealistic, it still asked, "What did it say?"
Nero looked at the Jing Yuan footage playing in the video and said, "Black Cutter says the formation blade in Jing Yuan's hand is quite a good one."
"It also says that blade is called Stone Fire Dream Body, forged from the leftover ashes of the light arrow that the Hunt Aeon Lan used to shoot down stars."
Jimi blinked, its wide eyes full of confusion.
"No... how does it know that?"
Black Cutter made some more noises. The way it shook looked like it was expressing disdain toward Jimi.
Nero listened quietly, then honestly acted as a translator. As for why he could understand, he did not know. He just understood.
"Black Cutter says it can tell this kind of thing at a glance. It's nothing special."
Jimi blinked. "And that's considered nothing special?"
But it was just a little bird. What could it say? So it continued watching the video and said, "And the golden giant shadow that follows the General and charges into battle is called the Divine... uh... what Divine something Lord again... wait a moment..."
Jimi raised its wing to wipe the sweat off its head, then took out the script and muttered, "Uh... Divine Fulgurant Thunder Palace General Controller Driving Thunder and Lightning Chasing Demons and Sweeping Filth Heavenly Lord! Uh... why is this name so long. Anyway, it's just Divine Lord!"
After finding a simpler and easier name for Divine Lord, Jimi continued introducing Jing Yuan.
At the end, it sighed, "General Jing Yuan's skill at ordering people around is truly perfected. I feel like I'm seeing myself being called around by my boss..."
But Nero's eyes were shining as he said, "Law of Heaven and Earth! I want that too!"
"Huh?" Jimi froze for a moment, then narrowed its eyes and carefully asked, "Young Master Nero wants to become a General?"
Hearing this, Nero shook his head again and again. "No, not at all. Worrying about this and that every day is too tiring."
"Whoever wants to be General can be General. What I want is only the Divine Fulgurant Thunder Palace General Controller Driving Thunder and Lightning Chasing Demons and Sweeping Filth Heavenly Lord."
Jimi blinked and said nothing, only thinking to itself:
"A kid is still a kid. Not thinking about climbing up at all, only caring about what looks cool. Hehe. Looks like this kid definitely won't join the company."
After that, Jimi continued introducing Jing Yuan's ultimate skill and a simple battle demonstration.
And at the very end...
"This is Jing Yuan of the Xianzhou Luofu, known as the Dozing General," Jimi said, then looked at Nero and asked, "Young Master Nero, as someone from the Luofu, what is your opinion of General Jing Yuan?"
"Handsome!" Nero's answer was simple and clear.
Jimi was still waiting for more, but what followed was just the two of them staring at each other.
A few seconds later, Jimi shook its bird head and looked at Nero. "Uh... and then?"
Nero blinked twice. "That's it."
"Just handsome?" Jimi was not willing to give up.
"Isn't one handsome enough?" Nero asked back.
Jimi fell silent.
It looked Nero up and down.
"If it's you giving that evaluation, it does seem heavy enough..."
At this point, this episode of Approaching the Star Dome was over.
After watching it, Siberian Duck said, "You all heard it, right? Jing Yuan is personally certified handsome by Nero! Go pull for him as hard as you can!" while switching to another video.
The new video was called: "Honkai: Star Rail A Thousand Stars Journey PV: Picked Up a Cat That Wants to Go Home with Me!"
After clicking it, the first thing shown was a panoramic view of the Xianzhou from above the clouds. Then the perspective zoomed in, coming to a street corner alley and moving forward.
On the way, many characters could be seen.
For example, Jing Yuan drinking tea at Sleepless Earl, Yanqing walking down the street holding a newly bought flying sword, Qingque playing Celestial Jade while Fu Xuan came to catch her, Tingyun smiling while talking with a foreign merchant, Bailu avoiding the pursuit of the Alchemy Commission and so on.
The perspective kept moving forward, passing through streets and alleys, and finally arrived at some unknown realm. Inside the realm was a scene of natural scenery.
The camera moved sideways, passing through a forest path, arriving beside a stream with green grass and blooming wildflowers.
Suddenly there was a rustling sound. A pitch black cat head popped out from the bushes.
In the next second, the black cat suddenly leaped out of the bushes and looked left and right.
No one knew whose cat it was. There was even a small tie around its neck.
While the black cat was looking around, a dark shadow approached from behind, covering it entirely.
The tips of the black cat's ears twitched slightly. Its tail swayed back and forth. It looked relaxed, as if it had noticed nothing.
At that moment, a pair of hands reached from behind, grabbed the black cat's body, and lifted it up by holding under its front legs.
The black cat was startled by the sudden attack. Its limbs spread open, its tail stood up, its body arched slightly, its fur puffed up, and it let out a sharp "meow."
And then...
And then there was no then. The camera turned upward. Snow white hair passed across the screen, and finally revealed a delicate face. Gray eyes were unusually clear, reflecting the black cat's shadow.
Nero sat on the ground, a faint smile on his lips. He gently placed the black cat on his lap and rubbed its head.
There seemed to be something special about Nero, or maybe his touch was too comfortable. The black cat quickly showed a blissful expression above its eyes, then closed them and began making purring sounds as it enjoyed it.
Several small birds flew out from the forest, chirping. Some landed on Nero, and some landed behind him, nudging the strands of hair spread on the ground with their beaks.
Such a peaceful and pleasant scene lasted for a few seconds.
The black cat that was enjoying itself suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes were wide and round, filled with shock and confusion, as if shocked by its current state, astonished at why it was enjoying it.
In the next second, a sharp sound of something cutting through the air rang out. A broken sword blade stabbed from behind.
Nero reacted quickly. With a turn of his body he dodged the sneak attack, at the same time riding the wind to pull away. Even during the turn, he grabbed the black cat with him.
After landing again, Nero gently placed the black cat on the ground, then looked toward the previous spot.
A black haired man held a broken sword in one hand behind his back. His red eyes stared at him, and a cold smile curved on his lips.
