Chapter 126 Senti: Su Mu Is My Dearest Friend; Beating Him Up Costs Extra!
Because it had just started, Senti's livestream didn't have many viewers, but there were a few hundred scattered people. One reason was that Senti had previously posted a viral thread about Fu Hua's extreme "unluckiness"—hitting the full 100-pull pity—and had even claimed a bounty reward from another content creator.
Another reason was her frequent uploads of photos with Fu Hua. Given the current high popularity of Honkai Impact 3rd, her account had quickly attracted tens of thousands of followers. However, as Senti hadn't been actively managing the account, it was still relatively small.
But as soon as Senti put up the abstract title [The Honkai 3rd Writer Is My Brother, One Punch to My Good Brother for Every Like], the stream instantly drew in a large crowd of passersby who hadn't followed her before.
[Holy crap, is the streamer really Old Thief Su Mu's brother?]
[Wait, wait, wait! Isn't that the Class Monitor? Fu Hua!]
[Wait, are there two Fu Huas?]
Viewers who entered because of the title saw Senti and Fu Hua on camera. The two sisters looked almost like they were carved from the same mold, though they differed significantly in temperament and dressing style.
[Is the streamer the prototype for Fu Hua? Are you two... twin sisters?]
[Could they be mother and daughter?]
[No way! The one with glasses is clearly the prototype for the Class Monitor. That meticulous look is way too accurate!]
Soon, many in the chat recognized Fu Hua's true identity. After all, once Fu Hua put on her glasses and sat there, she radiated the aura of a model student just by staying silent—a world apart from the rowdy, somewhat "roguish" Senti next to her.
"Hey, hey! This viewer 'Can is Working Today' has a great eye! That's right, the person beside me is the prototype for Fu Hua in Honkai 3rd! But me, I prefer to call her 'The Old Timer'!"
[LMAO, Old Timer? That title is way too fitting!]
[More than fitting! This kid's nickname game is strong!]
[True, when I first saw the Class Monitor in game, I thought she was a super stiff 'Old Timer' too!]
Senti's interaction with the fans made everyone in the chat roar with laughter. Compared to Fu Hua's serious and reserved personality, Senti's naturally familiar, lively, and uninhibited nature was much easier for the fans to love. After all, Senti was a beauty herself, and combined with her humorous remarks, it was hard not to feel fond of her.
"Show some respect. I've told you so many times, don't call me Old Timer." "Old Timer, don't pull my ear! So many people are watching! Hey, hey, hey!"
Fu Hua gave Senti a frustrated glare, feeling particularly helpless about her sister's inability to hold her tongue.
[Hahaha! I'm dying. Who said they look like mother and daughter? It really is like a mom dealing with a naughty kid!]
[Look at the Class Monitor's face; it's practically shouting 'I don't know this idiot.' Hahaha!!]
The chemistry between Fu Hua and Senti instantly filled the stream with a joyful atmosphere. Their interaction was genuinely interesting, and the popularity count began to rise steadily. Many fans chose to flick their fingers and share the stream.
Driven by the title "Prototype of Fu Hua," many flocked in to investigate, and they were even more entertained by the title [The Honkai 3rd Writer Is My Brother, One Punch to My Good Brother for Every Like].
[Streamer, are you really Old Thief Su Mu's brother? I've liked it, don't forget to give him a punch!]
[Like given. Streamer, remember to record it next time, or whoever backs out is a puppy!]
[Wait, you're serious? Then I have to hit that thumbs-up!]
For a while, many fans with a "watch the chaos" mindset clicked the like button. Seeing the rising count, Senti's face nearly split with a grin.
"Old Timer, I feel like we're going to be famous today!" Fu Hua looked at the "troublemaker" beside her, speechless. "With this many punches, are you sure Su Mu will survive?"
Senti patted her modest chest. "Huh? Su Mu is my dearest friend, my blood brother. How could I have the heart to actually hurt him?"
Fu Hua thought about it and realized that while Senti was mischievous, she wasn't someone who didn't know her own strength. Otherwise, with her martial artist's physique, a full combo would put Su Mu in the hospital and Senti in a jail cell.
Suddenly, Senti dragged a sandbag out from a side room. A large photo of Su Mu wearing a mask was taped onto it.
"Thank you for the support, fellow heroes! This heroine will practice in the stream today, and another day I'll visit Old Thief Su Mu to vent everyone's anger for you! Ha!"
She cupped her hands to the camera and then delivered a flying kick to the sandbag!
[Holy crap? Does the streamer actually have real kung fu?]
[That stance is way too stable. She's definitely a trained professional!]
[Wait, so the real-life Class Monitor is actually a martial arts master? One punch would probably explode a skull!]
[Hold on, streamer! we were just joking, don't do it for real!]
[Crap, one kick from you would disable Old Thief Su Mu! If he's disabled, how are we going to play Honkai 3rd?]
[Calm down, streamer! I'll donate, just don't go after the Old Thief, I'm scared!]
Seeing the sandbag deform under Senti's beating, the viewers were genuinely startled. No, brothers. They only came for a laugh; they didn't expect her to actually know martial arts! One kick from her could easily leave Su Mu crippled. If she punched him for every like, she'd turn him into meat paste. If the Old Thief was actually taken out, what game would they have left to play!
"Ahem! Since everyone says so, I also think my earlier statement was inappropriate. How about we change it to: for every like, I'll beat up this Old Thief Su Mu sandbag once? How about that?"
[Good, good, good, good.]
[Little ancestor, please stop, don't actually break the Old Thief!]
[I liked it, I liked it! Seriously though, your skills are amazing! For the sake of Shenzhou Kung Fu, I'm donating!]
Thanks to Senti's antics, the previously quiet stream saw its popularity skyrocket. Within moments, videos of Senti's flying kick hitting the Su Mu sandbag began to circulate in various group chats. This meme later became widely used by players to express their dissatisfaction with the "Old Thief"!
"This kid... is she a natural-born streamer?" Su Mu watched the surging popularity of Senti's stream, clutching his forehead with a mix of laughter and tears. He had known that with Senti's personality and eloquence, she'd make a great streamer. But he never expected her legendary debut would be beating up a sandbag of him...
"You really are my 'dearest friend' and 'blood brother'." Su Mu spread his hands. Senti didn't treat him like an outsider at all. Even though they hadn't met many times, the kid had "Social Ace" energy. While not quite on Elysia's level, she was second to none when it came to being instantly familiar.
He didn't mind her beating the sandbag in public. In fact, if it helped her become a top streamer sooner, he was happy to let her do it. Maybe they could even do a collab stream later... though if that fist actually landed on him, he'd probably kick the bucket.
Senti's performance drew massive traffic, and Su Mu took the opportunity to help her out by calling the Bilibili staff to boost her visibility. After the Honkai 3rd update finished, Senti stopped the "skits" and impatiently opened her game account!
[Wait, the streamer is a die-hard Fu Hua fan?]
[Every Fu Hua battlesuit is SSS? That's ridiculous!]
[Sister-con, definitely a sister-con!]
[Is it a mother-con? A mother-con?]
Seeing the wild comments, Fu Hua adjusted her glasses, thinking these netizens were truly something else. She began to admire streamers for not losing their minds facing such "heaven-defying" barrages of comments.
"I'm an 'Old Timer' simp and I'm proud! Fu Hua is my favorite character! Anyone who doesn't like her is in trouble!" Senti declared boldly, officially announcing herself as a hardcore Fu Hua fan.
In Honkai 3rd, Fu Hua was a Shenzhou character, and her moves integrated many aspects of Shenzhou culture. Coupled with her tragic history as a protector of civilization, her popularity among Shenzhou players had always remained high. Elsewhere, her popularity was also great; her move designs were among the best of all Valkyries, truly "igniting the action soul" of the game.
"Ahem! Anyway, enough talk! Let's jump into the latest event plot: The Legend of the Xuanyuan! Hehe, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Do you know I was so excited I didn't sleep at all last night?"
Senti opened the event interface while talking.
[This event's style looks like it's going to be light and happy, right? But we can't be sure; we have to watch out for Old Thief Su Mu's traps.]
[Heh! Have you forgotten the painful experience with Luna Kindred? It started with memes and ended with stabbing Luna, Himeko, and Kallen to death!]
[I'm a dog if I ever believe Su Mu again.]
[I'm mentally prepared! Do you know I have tissues ready by my computer?]
[Wait, who doesn't have tissues by their computer? Brother, are you a girl?]
Clearly, despite the cheerful interface of The Legend of the Xuanyuan, the players were guarding against the Old Thief like he was a burglar. Once bitten, twice shy. Just like a certain developer from his previous life, Su Mu loved "Love at first sight around the corner" or "The door cannot be opened from this side."
As Senti entered the event, the story began with Kiana having a stomachache because she ate too many raw dumplings. She begged Fu Hua to tell her a story to distract her from the pain. This part made the real Kiana, who was watching with Su Mu, lose it: "Eating raw dumplings! D-Do I look like an idiot? There's no way I'd eat something raw like that!"
Su Mu looked at the Kiana before him, then at the slightly wrinkled clothes she had finally managed to fold, and nodded solemnly. "You would." Kiana: "Hey!"
In the game, seeing the suffering Kiana, Fu Hua gently told her a story.
["A story.... since New Year is coming, I'll tell you the story of the Nian beast."]
["The Nian beast? What's that? A Honkai beast?"]
Fu Hua's story caught Kiana's attention; it was her first time hearing the term.
["Legend has it that in ancient Shenzhou, there was a fierce beast named 'Nian'. Nian usually lived in the depths of the ocean, indifferent to the world... but every New Year's Eve, Nian would come ashore to wreak havoc. Yet, the people back then weren't afraid of Nian at all. They even held great festivals on that day to celebrate, all because..."]
In the CG, Kiana in her pajamas was lying on Fu Hua's lap, resting her head on a small yellow pillow. Seeing this, Senti immediately typed a string of question marks: "???"
Senti's eyes widened. "Old Timer, you brat! Treating Kiana this well! No, I'm jealous! Give me your lap to rest on right now!" Senti tried to lunge forward and feel Fu Hua's lap.
A moment later, Senti rubbed a red bump on her forehead, looking wronged. "Hmph, just say no then..."
In the game, Fu Hua continued the story.
["Every New Year's Eve when the Nian beast appeared, an Immortal would descend from the heavens to repel Nian and ensure the peace of Shenzhou. That Immortal's name was..."]
With a shift in the game's visuals, a small, cute doll resembling Cangxuan rested her chin on her hands, bored, and asked the "Immortal" beside her.
["Blockhead, we've been meditating for three hours today. Aren't you hungry?"]
[In the Taoist temple, the "Immortal" sitting cross-legged wore a Taoist robe, radiating a transcendent aura.]
[Jingwei, Class Monitor, Fu Hua... the woman sitting there had many names, but here, she was known as 'The Immortal'.]
