Kapitel 50: Chapter 49: The Stellaron Hunter's Performance - Breaking Conventions!
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
In Aurum Alley, within the villa,
Lin Yu picked up his phone and opened the latest message.
It was from Guinaifen:
"HAHAHA, thank you so much, buddy!"
"I wouldn't have discovered such an amazing game if not for your recommendation!"
"You're truly my lucky charm, bro!"
"Gotta run, I'm heading to stream now. Let's catch up over dinner another day!"
Even Guinaifen's profile signature had changed:
[Yueling, My Divine Hero!]
Lin Yu smiled warmly.
Little did Guinaifen suspect that the guy she had encountered that evening was none other than Feathered Spirit—the renowned developer behind the game sensation Honkai: Star Rail. Interestingly, if one reversed the name "Feathered Spirit," it revealed his true identity.
As Lin Yu read this signature line, he suddenly realized a crucial issue!
Even ordinary players like Guinaifen recognized "Feathered Spirit" as an incredibly influential figure.
Could it be that Kafka and her team were unaware of this fact? Were all Stellaron Hunters so naive? Was everything proceeding too smoothly? Did they believe every word he said without question?
If even regular gamers wouldn't trust such claims, how much less likely would Stellaron Hunters do so?
Upon closer thought, something felt distinctly off!
At that moment, another message arrived on his phone.
It was from Silver Wolf's secondary account: "I've reached Luofu now. Where are you?"
Lin Yu quickly focused his attention on the message.
Activating [Eyes of Prying]!
A three-dimensional scene materialized before him.
In a secluded area of the Exalting Sanctum, a woman with subtle makeup stood patiently waiting.
This was Kafka's disguise.
From appearance alone, they looked like an ordinary office worker, bearing no resemblance to their true identity.
Kafka's masking skills were indeed exceptional!
However...
Lin Yu realized he had made a fatal mistake.
"I underestimated the Stellaron Hunters once again!"
Quickly responding in the chat window, Lin Yu wrote, "Do you truly believe I am [Feathered Spirit]? Just another ordinary outlander?"
Kafka picked up their phone and replied, "What else could it be? Wanting to meet one's idol isn't unusual, right?"
Seeing this response confirmed his suspicions.
His gaze shifted towards Kafka.
The Eyes of Prying not only revealed the target's actions but also delved into their psychological state and behavioral patterns, allowing direct insight into their inner thoughts!
As soon as he probed deeper, a cool voice echoed—
"Is it you who has been secretly watching me?"
Lin Yu's hand trembled slightly.
Indeed!
Almost fell for their trap!
Continuing to probe deeper:
"Elio mentioned that you might possess [Insight] and [Record] abilities, so... Silver Wolf and I staged this performance."
"If we acted convincingly enough, you would likely lower your guard, wouldn't you?"
Wow, impressive...
Upon uncovering this truth, Lin Yu couldn't resist wanting to applaud the Stellaron Hunters.
They had cleverly turned the tables on him!
Through calculations and deductions, Elio concluded that Lin Yu possibly held similar [Insight] capabilities.
As a result,
they assumed he was constantly observing them!
And all the interactions witnessed earlier were merely performances!
Fortunately,
Lin Yu's ability not only allowed external observation but also insight into internal thoughts.
Kafka's mental activity continued:
"Why no response?
"Feathered Spirit, have you uncovered something..."
"BEEP!"
A notification sound interrupted Kafka's thoughts.
Lin Yu focused his consciousness and glimpsed the content on Kafka's phone screen.
The sender's profile picture depicted a black cat.
The name was... [Elio].
"Operation aborted. You've been discovered."
Seeing this message, Kafka shrugged helplessly.
Removing her glasses, she spoke towards the seemingly empty space ahead, "It truly was an engaging game of wits, don't you agree, Feathered Spirit?"
Lin Yu let out a resigned sigh.
As expected of the Stellaron Hunters; they weren't so easily manipulated.
At that moment,
another message appeared in Kafka's chat window:
"In the script of fate, your trajectory alone remains undetectable."
Lin Yu knew this message wasn't intended for Kafka but specifically directed at him.
"Feathered Spirit, I am truly delighted by your existence within this universe."
Following this, "Elio" didn't add anything more.
Kafka pocketed his phone and spoke to the empty air before him, "Feathered Spirit... honestly, I'm quite curious about who or what you really are."
"I'll continue experiencing this game you've created. When my character takes center stage, remember to make it particularly refined, okay?~"
"Now, it's time to participate in the next scenario."
"And if you're still watching me..."
"It would be an honor to present the upcoming performance, just for you."
Kafka waved casually.
From Lin Yu's perspective, it felt as though Kafka was addressing him directly.
"Not surprising from someone like you..." Lin Yu murmured.
He opened the system interface, unsure whether he should feel happy or disappointed. On second thought, effortlessly manipulating the Stellaron Hunters would indeed have been rather dull.

"First, focus on managing the game well..."
"Let's set a small goal: Draw an Aeon-level ability!"
Kapitel 51: Chapter 50: Two Kafkas, Double the Joy!
"Yay! On my first ten-roll, I got gold!" exclaimed March 7th jubilantly within the Parlor Car.
"Of course! Beautiful girls always have great luck!" she added confidently.
Dan Heng merely glanced briefly at her, his thoughts still unsettled. The image of Blade smirking while wielding his sword lingered persistently.
His name had been called for the new main storyline. What fate awaited him and Dan Heng aboard the Xianzhou? At that moment, Dan Heng felt powerless against destiny.
More precisely,
It felt like being roasted over a fire!
Dan Heng hoped the plot would swiftly reach the part concerning him. Whether it meant death or survival, he preferred a swift resolution.
In his view, chaos on Xianzhou Luofu was inevitable in the upcoming events, leading to a decisive battle between himself and Blade. Their companions aboard the train would undoubtedly come to assist them.
The final outcome...
could be victory, or it could result in mutual defeat.
If his friends were harmed because of him...
Such a consequence was unacceptable.
"If I knew the result beforehand, perhaps I could prevent this ending." Dan Heng sank deeper into his anguish.
On the other hand, March 7th seemed carefree, eagerly checking the Pull's results with excitement.
Stelle, beside her, watched with anticipation as well.
"It should be the next draw!"
"Are you ready?"
March 7th nodded vigorously.
With a tap of her finger,
five golden stars appeared!
The background pattern represented [Erudition].
March 7th instantly recognized it, becoming overwhelmingly thrilled!
"Erudition! It's Erudition!"
"Out of the seven five-star characters, only Ji Zi is associated with Erudition!"
"I drew Ji Zi!"
Sitting on the couch, Himeko glanced helplessly at March 7th, muttering, "What peculiar remarks..."
"Such peculiar dialogue," March 7th muttered to herself.
The glow faded away, revealing indeed Himeko—but not as the [Himeko] character. Instead, it was the five-star Light Cone, "[Night on the Galactic Railroad]."
In the image, Himeko sat casually atop a train engine, her long white dress neatly tucked beneath her. Her red hair flowed loosely around her, gazing intently at the starry sky above. The stars traced circular paths amidst the celestial river.
"Woah~" March 7th leaned closer to the screen, almost wanting to dive right in.
"It's Ji Zi's exclusive Light Cone!"
"How beautiful..."
Stelle nodded approvingly. "This is definitely worth it!"
"But... I don't have Himeko yet. I feel like this Light Cone should only be used by Ji Zi herself..."
"Oh, I get it! It's one of those developer tricks!" exclaimed Stelle.
"They give me an exclusive Light Cone first, then force me to spend Premium Points for the character!"
"Curses! Even knowing their scheme, I still can't resist topping up my account!"
Just then, Himeko approached and reminded them, "A new storyline has started. Would you two like to join us?"
"Yes!" March 7th and Stelle replied simultaneously.
They promptly set down their phones.
Everyone gathered on the couches, including Pom-Pom, and attentively watched the new storyline unfold.
Pom-Pom was the first to appear on screen.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The Leap Route Conference is now officially underway!
"Firstly, Pom-Pom would like to thank all the Nameless passengers for resolving the issues at this station, allowing our train to continue its journey across the stellar rails!"
"Next, your conductor will announce the name of our next destination—"
Just as everyone held their breath, eagerly awaiting Pom-Pom's revelation,
a holographic projection of a woman suddenly materialized in the scene.
She held a black umbrella with one hand.
From beneath the rim, a delicate face peeked out, wearing a faint smile.
"It's been a while, fellow travelers aboard the Astral Express."
"I am Kafka."
"Ah, perfect timing. Everyone seems to be here—or rather, almost everyone." Still holding her umbrella, she walked past the group.
"No need for such charming introductions, Stellaron Hunter," Himeko said, eyeing Kafka suspiciously.
Undeterred, Kafka smiled lightly. "Himeko, isn't it?"
"My apologies for interrupting your gathering, but I believe after hearing my request, you'll understand why I took this liberty."
"I am asking you...to change your destination."
"You've come to the wrong place, Kafka. We have no intention of accepting your request or getting involved with the Stellaron Hunters. It's been delightful chatting, and perhaps one day you might visit us personally; then we can discuss it further." Himeko exuded a commanding presence.
Kafka smiled slightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, have any of you heard of 'Luofu'?"
As they watched this scene unfold,
inside the train carriage,
each person displayed a different expression on their faces.
The live stream was directly projected onto the screens within the cabin, coinciding with the events taking place in the Parlor Car.
It created an illusion as if the game's narrative were unfolding in reality.
Fortunately, subtitles were present in the game, clearly distinguishing it from actuality.
March 7th exclaimed, "It's actually her!"
"And she wants us to change our destination... Surely we won't heed her words and head to Luofu, right?"
"I don't want her leading us around by the nose!"
Pom-Pom also sprang up from the couch, "Passenger March 7th is right!"
"The Stellaron Hunters are dangerous, and the Feathered Spirits are no less so."
"Pom-Pom's suggestion is—stick with our original plan and head straight to Penacony!"
Seeing that even the conductor sided with her, March 7th felt more resolute than ever.
"If Kafka really appears on our train just as depicted in the storyline..."
"I-I swear, I'll take a swing at her first chance I get!"
Stelle chimed in, "Why does it feel like you stole my line?"
Just then...
At the other end of the carriage, particles began to shimmer, forming a holographic projection visible to all present.
And this figure was none other than Kafka herself!
With the game stream's overlay included, there were now two Kafkas inside the carriage!
As if peering into a mirror, they stood facing each other.
March 7th was utterly dumbfounded. Moments after boasting, the real Kafka appeared!
What terrible timing!
Stelle glanced back and forth between them, subtly licking their lips.
"Two Kafkas? Two mommies!"
"Double the joy!"
