Stargazer?
Hearing this familiar name, a trace of surprise flashed through Su Luo's mind.
He knew Kiana, Theresa, and the others were writing "Honkai Kingdoms," but he hadn't expected Theresa's progress to be so fast.
"Wolong Stargazer, calling her Stargazer is perfectly fitting."
Mei quickly added the last few strokes on her drawing tablet, then turned the computer screen to show Theresa. On it was a depiction of Theresa with a feather fan and silk headdress.
"What do you think of this image?"
"Excellent!" Theresa's eyes lit up. "This image just radiates wisdom! It has one-tenth of my brilliance!"
"One-tenth?... I suppose so," Mei's lips twitched as she managed a strained agreement.
Tap... Tap...
Su Luo had already walked over to them by this time.
Hearing Theresa's remark, "Stargazer has one-tenth of my, Theresa's, brilliance," he honestly couldn't hold it in.
He couldn't help but interrupt their discussion: "Are you discussing 'Honkai Kingdoms' right now?"
"Su Luo!" N voices
The girls all turned their heads upon seeing Su Luo.
Theresa replied smugly, "That's right! With my strong support, Kiana's script has taken on a completely new look!"
"Oh? Then I'm quite curious. How is the script for 'Honkai Kingdoms' now? Could you let me take a look... observe it?" Su Luo asked with a smile.
"Hmph, don't be frightened by the script we co-created," Theresa snorted lightly, appearing full of confidence.
She gestured to Kiana, "Kiana, show Su Luo 'Honkai Kingdoms'."
"Okay~~ Here you go, Su Luo." Kiana happily held up a stack of draft papers.
"Mm."
Su Luo reached out and took them, flipping through them seriously, page by page.
The girls also quieted down, watching him with a hint of nervousness.
The script for "Honkai Kingdoms" wasn't too different overall from what Su Luo remembered from his previous life.
It was a story about timelines and an omnipotent wish-granting machine.
Once, there was only the Huang Empire in the world. But the emergence of the supreme yin beast Yama and the chaos beast Formless dealt a heavy blow to the empire.
Not only did they lose a large number of elite troops, but even the previous emperor sacrificed himself, leaving only Stargazer, who was then the Imperial Grandson.
At this time, Stargazer divined that another beast, Huodou, had yet to emerge. Thus, she decided to leave the capital city, Huangyue City, and head to an undersea altar to use the terrain to seal it.
Meanwhile, the Junior Mentor Jackal, by Second Prince Kiana's side, had always been plotting to usurp the throne. General Youlan also expressed dissatisfaction with the crown prince's flight, and Chancellor Rita had to bring Stargazer back as soon as possible to stabilize the imperial court.
If events were left to unfold naturally, Stargazer would die in the forest on the first day, and the future would collapse along with her.
Therefore, to ensure the timeline, the Captain's soul possessed a passerby, protecting Stargazer under the guise of 'Mr. Assassin.'
Ultimately, with the Captain's help, Stargazer successfully sealed Huodou in the undersea altar and, at the same time, unintentionally activated the omnipotent wish-granting machine, Golem.
Stargazer wished for the Huang Empire to have eternal peace, and for this, Golem granted Stargazer and Rita immortality.
Afterward, Stargazer spent nearly sixty years unifying the world.
A thousand years later, the world, long united, was bound to divide. Three kingdoms rose, and conflict erupted once more over the omnipotent wish-granting machine.
The Captain was summoned again. After enduring hardships, he obtained the wish-granting machine and prepared to end all disputes. However, an accident occurred after making the wish, causing the Captain to be split in two, becoming two separate individuals.
Then followed a grand adventure to merge the Captain, and at the end of this great adventure, the Captain became one again.
The story ended there.
Overall, it could indeed be considered a magnificent and sweeping tale.
It was good enough to be the main storyline for any other game.
It seemed Kiana had indeed grown very quickly under his guidance, just like evolving from [White Comet] to [Sky Ranger].
"Kiana, is this all there is to the 'Honkai Kingdoms' script?" Su Luo suddenly asked Kiana after finishing, as if confirming something.
The scripts for "Honkai Kingdoms: Zero," "Honkai Kingdoms," and "Odd Drifter" were all more or less the same.
But what about "The Day You Vanished with the Stars"?
Kiana blinked. "This is all. What's wrong? Is there something badly written in this script?"
She added with a sincere expression, "Su Luo, if you point it out, I can change it immediately!"
"No, no, Kiana, you don't need to be nervous. You've written it very well this time."
Su Luo first praised her. After a happy smile appeared on Kiana's face, he changed his tune: "It's just that I feel this script might be lacking a bit of 'depth'?"
"Depth?" Kiana was a little puzzled.
"It's lacking a certain emotion that leaves a lasting impression, making people reflect."
Su Luo explained in more direct terms, "I think we can do a bit more with the character of Stargazer. For example, let Stargazer..."
"Wait a minute!"
Theresa looked at Su Luo warily and asked loudly, "Su Luo! What do you want to do to my Stargazer?!"
"Your Stargazer?"
"I created Stargazer, so of course, she's my Stargazer. Is there a problem?"
"Well... there's no problem with that," Su Luo thought for a moment and replied.
But he naturally wouldn't give up on the idea of adding the plot of "The Day You Vanished with the Stars" into "Honkai Kingdoms."
Without the plot of countless reincarnations to change Stargazer's fate of death, "Honkai Kingdoms" wouldn't have the same impact it had in his previous life.
He had to present the original, authentic "Honkai Kingdoms" to the players!
This was a virtue that an excellent game producer must possess!
Su Luo firmly believed.
"Theresa, don't you want your Stargazer to leave a deeper impression on people?"
Theresa shook her head. "No way. What if you write Stargazer to death?"
On this matter, Su Luo had a prior record.
Seeing this, Su Luo's face broke into an 'Otto-like' smile. He raised his hand and gently patted Theresa's small shoulder, his voice exceptionally sincere as he cajoled:
"Trust me, my dear Theresa. I guarantee Stargazer will live a good, long life."
"Mmm..." Theresa hesitated.
"Then," Kiana raised her hand to ask, "Su Luo, what kind of story are you actually planning to add?"
Su Luo smiled and replied to Kiana, "We can first brainstorm one hundred ways for Stargazer to die."
Theresa: ???
"Su Luo!!"
"Theresa, listen to me dupe... ah, no, listen to me explain."
"You said 'dupe' just now, didn't you? You definitely said 'dupe'!" Theresa exploded like a leopard.
