Chapter 9 - Kafka wants to tease her boss!

"Boss, you're such a bad guy!"

Xia Wen couldn't hold back. He burst out laughing.

He was genuinely charmed by Fu Xuan! The little lady was just too adorable!

Seeing that her "powerful" words didn't break Xia Wen's defenses, Fu Xuan got even angrier.

"Brother, the boss is bullying me!"

Since she wasn't capable of handling it herself, she decided to call for reinforcements. Fu Xuan turned to her older brother, Jing Yuan, and pursed her lips.

"Ah?"

"You want me to deal with the boss?"

Jing Yuan suddenly felt overwhelmed, pointing at himself with his finger.

"Mm-hmm!"

Fu Xuan nodded vigorously.

"Boss"

"I'm so tired from lack of sleep recently. I need to find a place to take a nap."

Jing Yuan's face changed abruptly. His once rosy cheeks turned pale. He sighed and slowly stood up.

Xia Wen immediately understood. He expressed concern, "Your health is the most important. Please go rest."

"Got it!"

Jing Yuan's spirits were lifted. The pain in his head disappeared, and his face regained color. He quickly left.

Before leaving, he faced his sister's murderous gaze and awkwardly explained, "The boss told me to leave, it wasn't my choice."

After saying that, he hurriedly exited the room.

Once he was far away, Jing Yuan wiped the cold sweat off his brow. His sister was great, but she was just too proud and kept pushing him into the fire pit!

"God, I'm getting old. I hope a great being comes to deal with her soon."

Jing Yuan shook his head slowly and found a place to rest.

In the filming studio,

Seeing Fu Xuan's interaction with the boss made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

Because of Xia Wen's promise regarding personal promotional videos, everyone was excited as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline. They huddled together in groups, chattering away.

"It's been a long time since everyone's been this energetic."

Himeko looked at everyone with satisfaction and happiness, like a loving mother.

"It's all because of the boss, who deliberately made this situation with my words to tease everyone~"

Kafka said lazily with a smile.

"It seems the boss isn't easy to deal with. Looks like you've met your match."

Himeko gave Kafka a mischievous smile.

"Hmph, that's not certain."

"Just wait, one day I'm going to say to that little guy, 'Listen to me~'"

Kafka stretched lazily and said nonchalantly.

"You just can't help but enjoy playing with others."

"Just hope that by then, it's not the boss saying that."

Himeko shook her head and teased.

"Impossible!"

Kafka responded confidently.

At that moment, Xia Wen walked over and asked, "What are you chatting about?"

"Of course, it's about the boss."

Kafka replied with a smile.

"There will be plenty of time for that later."

Xia Wen chuckled in surprise and then said, "Let's discuss some serious matters now."

"Boss, please go ahead."

Hearing it was about serious matters, Himeko became serious. Kafka also stopped talking and listened attentively.

"Himeko, I'm planning to start shooting the personal promotional videos for you, Kafka, and March 7th first."

"The storylines for Herta Space Station and Belobog also need to start filming soon."

"Get everyone ready for some serious work!"

"I plan to ramp up the heat with the promotional videos and then release the official series of 'Honkai: Star Rail'!"

A series of filming plans were laid out. Himeko was both surprised and a bit worried, "Boss, won't rushing the filming affect the quality of the series?"

"Not at all. In fact, we can even shoot and release it simultaneously."

"Think about it, how long did the space comedy short take?"

"Trust in my special effects company and my filming skills."

Xia Wen said confidently.

"True."

Himeko immediately felt reassured. After all, the space comedy short had proven Xia Wen's skills.

"By the way, boss, why are you starting with the personal promotions for me, Kafka, and March 7th first?"

Himeko suddenly wondered and asked with curiosity. Kafka was also interested in Xia Wen's answer.

"Because you three are the most suitable."

"Herta Space Station and Belobog's storylines are mainly about world-building. Even a 90-minute episode can't fit all the settings."

"So we'll start with a simple story to introduce the world. You've seen the script; it's impossible to fit too many character developments."

Xia Wen explained while deep in thought.

"Belobog will further develop the main storyline and showcase the concepts of pathwalker and aeon of preservation, with the joy of fate making its first appearance."

"This part will further clarify the concepts and existence of pathwalkers (destinies)."

"At the same time, the climax against Cocolia will be the first major highlight!"

Xia Wen explained clearly.

Himeko and Kafka fell into thought. After a while, Himeko nodded with some frustration, "The boss is right. The story is too grand. It's hard to tell a complex and exciting story in detail in the beginning."

Seeing Himeko's concern, Xia Wen confidently reassured, "Don't worry. As long as we capture this world authentically, it will definitely become the biggest hit of the year!"

"So, in the initial phase, the personal promotions for you and March 7th are to supplement and set up the main perspective of the Star Rail."

"As for Kafka,"

"It's to build anticipation for the future storyline!"

"The Stellaron Hunter's, being a mysterious and dangerous villain group that the audience doesn't fully understand, combined with Kafka's deadly charm, will attract a lot of attention!"

"The audience will definitely look forward to Kafka's reappearance. When she does appear again, the effect of the promotional videos will multiply in the official series."

Xia Wen earnestly explained to both of them. Kafka initially listened attentively, but when she heard Xia Wen say she had a deadly charm, she couldn't help but smile.
