章節 13: Chapter 13: Himeko Joins the Team, Winning Over Countless Fans

Witnessing Dan Heng's exceptionally flashy ultimate ability, Guinaifen's eyes sparkled with admiration. After managing to compose herself, she couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of the developers!

"How dare they not let me pay for a character like this!"

"Who do they think they're underestimating?!"

She even wished she could become a planner for the game herself, envisioning different tiers for Dan Heng's abilities:

The first tier would lack any cinematic close-ups.

The second tier would unlock the close-up effect but without the ink-wash background visuals; to access the full version, players would need to spend extra money!

Only the third tier would offer the complete ultimate ability experience!

Developers, don't you know how to make money?! You should take cues from me! Seriously!

Unfortunately, instead of implementing her ideas, the developers gave away this character for free. Unable to contact the enigmatic developer "Feathered Spirit," all she could do was leave suggestions in the game's comment section.

For now, Guinaifen pushed these thoughts aside.

Shifting her focus back to the unfolding story.

Though this elite Voidranger couldn't defeat them head-on, it suddenly let out a fierce roar. Multiple ghostly shadows emerged in the air—each one representing its lesser Voidranger minions.

March 7th protested indignantly, "Hey, hey, hey! Resorting to ganging up just because you can't win... Is that how you play?"

As she spoke, she cautiously began inching backward.

Dan Heng, wielding his spear, took a defensive stance to cover their retreat.

Just then, a mechanical device resembling a propeller appeared on the scene.

Spinning rapidly, it instantly shredded one of the Voidrangers. Then, a circular saw extended from the propeller blades, effortlessly mowing down the remaining enemies like slicing through butter. Finally, with a flourish, it shattered the elite Voidranger.

Seizing the opportunity, the group swiftly charged forward and broke free.

The scene shifted.

On the other side of the space station, a pair of slender, jade-like hands gently lowered.

A mature, resonant voice echoed, "Creating such close calls every time, but... as long as they return safely."

A woman with long red hair entered the frame, revealing a gentle smile.

"A new character has appeared!"

"And she's a sophisticated older sister!" A hint of excited flush colored Guinaifen's face.

"I wonder if she'll be playable!"

"What a beautiful big sister!"

"I love mature and gentle women like her!"

"Hold on, you guys don't recognize her? She's the navigator of the Astral Express, Miss Ji Zi!"

"Oh, it's her! Not only is she a top-notch scientist, but she's incredibly gorgeous too!"

"I'm sold! From now on, I'm all about Miss Ji Zi!"

Aboard the Astral Express...

As soon as Old Yang saw the single-molecule saw appear, a smile spread across his face.

He had a hunch ever since Dan Heng's introduction earlier.

And just as expected, now even Himeko made her appearance.

"True to form, Miss Ji Zi is incredibly dependable in the eyes of these children," Old Yang observed.

Himeko remained unfazed, continuously operating on the nearby screen.

Curious, Old Yang asked, "Himeko, what are you doing?"

"I've been searching for information about this game, but there's shockingly little available publicly. All I could find out is that the developer goes by 'Feathered Spirit.' It's unclear if it refers to an individual, a company, or perhaps even an organization."

"But..."

"But what?" Old Yang prompted.

"But I did come across a related game livestream started by a young girl from Xianzhou. Just like us, she's also beginning her experience with the game."

Himeko turned the screen towards Old Yang.

Sure enough, the progress displayed in the live stream matched theirs closely.

The real-time viewer count shown in the top right corner had already surpassed ten thousand!

"Her usual viewership was only a few thousand. However, streaming Honkai: Star Rail has quickly attracted a lot more attention."

"It seems this game is gradually gaining popularity among the masses," Old Yang marveled.

At the same time, a flurry of comments flooded the live stream chat.

"What qualities would it take to marry Miss Ji Zi?"

"This big sister is incredibly charming—I fell for her at first glance!"

"I'm a woman myself, and even I can't resist!"

"Got some dream material for tonight."

Himeko glanced briefly and discreetly turned off the chat.

On the screen, it depicted the moment of her first encounter with Stelle.

Apart from minor variations in dialogue and expressions, the scene closely matched her memories. It was as if an invisible camera had captured everything during that time, later turned into this game.

This led Himeko to ponder one question:

If the game's storyline ends at the space station, it would be understandable.

After all, those events had already occurred, and recreating them through technical means was feasible. However, if there were further developments in the plot, wouldn't she soon witness the situation on Jarilo-VI unfold before her eyes?

She looked out the window at the snow-covered planet below.

Just as she considered contacting Dan Heng and the Trailblazers, her phone signaled an incoming message.

It was from March 7th herself.

Himeko read it quickly.

The gist was that their mission was progressing smoothly so far, aided by a robot named Svarog who provided information about the Stellaron. They planned to rest for the night and head towards the location of the Stellaron tomorrow.

Himeko hesitated momentarily but ultimately decided not to inform them about Honkai: Star Rail just yet. There would be time enough after they completed their task tomorrow.

Of course,

Tomorrow, she would continue monitoring the situation closely to ensure no unexpected incidents occur.

Setting down her phone, Lin Yu heard Little Gui Zi's startled exclamation from the screen on the table.

"Peeps! Am I seeing this right?!"

"Miss Himeko is also a playable character!"

"And she joined our team!"

"Ahhh, I must quickly try out Himeko's skills!"


章節 14: Chapter 14: What?! This Game Has Both Herta and The Nameless?

Xianzhou, Aurum Alley.

After satisfying their hunger, Lin Yu rented a room nearby the hotel.

The room was clean and tidy, with all amenities readily available.

Lin Yu sat by the window, sipping on the hotel's signature complimentary beverage while opening the system interface.

[Popularity Points: 20,000+]

[Premium Points: 0]

[Cumulative Points: 20,000]

[Congratulations! Host has reached the first milestone, awarded 5,000 points and one small-scale promotion opportunity.]

"Promotion opportunity?" Lin Yu's eyes narrowed as he read the reward.

Haven't Guinaifen's streams already provided ample publicity? What exactly does this system-promised promotion entail?

By clicking on the description, Lin Yu quickly understood its purpose.

"It allows unconditional advertising within a certain range?"

"That..."

Recommended Placement Location: Space Station [Herta] Penacony

Lin Yu pondered for a moment.

Initially, he considered placing the advertisement at Penacony, as it was a hub for dreams with heavy foot traffic, ensuring the game would attract more attention.

However, upon checking the map:

He couldn't help but comment, "Isn't this coverage area too small?"

"It's barely larger than one attraction in Penacony!"

"But placing it at the space station seems to cover almost the entire area."

"Alright, let's go ahead and place it at the space station then."

As Lin Yu utilized the opportunity, all advertising screens in the space station's Master Control Zone instantly changed color.

Advertisements for Seeker Devices, Caliburn, and similar products were swiftly replaced.

Introducing the latest mobile game—Honkai: Star Rail! Launch promotion includes three free Astral Express crew members! Plus, Asta and Herta unlocked absolutely FREE!

What are you waiting for? Get ahead of the crowd and embark on your Trailblazing journey now!

On the advertisement cover, alongside silhouettes of March 7th, Dan Heng, and Stelle, the most striking visuals were the illustrated characters of Asta and Herta.

This promotional tagline was specifically tailored by the System to target the space station's audience.

The straightforward yet bold approach proved highly effective on these researchers accustomed to routine monotony. Amidst their usual barrage of formulaic ads, encountering something so intriguing compelled everyone to take a closer look.

"Honkai: Star Rail? Never heard of this mobile game before."

"Free-to-play? And they give away characters just for signing up? That sounds too good to be true!"

"What do 'Asta' and 'Herta' mean in the ad? Did they turn Station Chief Asta and Lady Herta into playable characters?"

"In that case, I have no choice but to try it out!"

"You better deliver, billboard! If those characters aren't free upon launch, you'll hear from me immediately!"

Upon seeing the advertisement, numerous staff members paused in their tracks. They quickly pulled out their phones to download "Honkai: Star Rail" right there in the mall.

Considering the space station wasn't particularly large, news spread rapidly. It swiftly reached the meeting room where Asta was present.

"Miss, here's the situation," Arlan explained with utmost seriousness.

"It's as if all the billboards suddenly came under a hacker attack. They're now displaying ads for... Honkai: Star Rail."

"Should we cut off power to those billboards?"

"No need..." Asta shook her head while glancing at her phone. "This game seems quite intriguing. I'm about to perform my first Transmigration."

"Transmigration?"

"Yes, that's it! You can summon characters you know from reality, like March 7th, Himeko, and maybe even Lady Herta herself!"

As she spoke, Asta tapped the option for "[Transmigrate Once]."

A regular train ticket floated through space, followed swiftly by an approaching locomotive.

Under Conductor Pom-Pom's watchful gaze, the rear doors opened, revealing a purple glow.

Excitedly, Asta noted, "Purple light... Hmm, this must mean I've drawn a four-star character!"

Within the radiant aura, an image emerged—a girl seated beside a massive telescope.

Asta (New), Fire Attribute, ★★★★, Cooperator

Next to her, Arlan was utterly dumbfounded.

Asta's mouth dropped open in astonishment, forming an 'O.'

Drawing a card...and getting herself?

Arlan opened his mouth, struggling for several moments before managing to ask, "Miss, you're...also a character within this game?"

"I-I don't know!" Asta seemed flustered; she had never encountered such a situation while gaming before. "But just now, I did indeed see myself as part of the game's storyline."

"So that's how it is..." Arlan lowered his head, deep in thought. "Miss, I'll have one of our engineers check if any other programs on the space station were hacked."

"Oh, alright. Go ahead." Gradually, Asta composed herself and eagerly opened her character interface to review her skill descriptions.

"Skill [Meteor Swarm]... Deals additional damage 4 times..."

"Ultimate [Wishes Upon Stars]: Increases Speed for all allies..."

"Wow... How did these developers know I love stars?!"

Meanwhile, after leaving Asta's presence, Arlan didn't immediately contact his team of engineers.

Instead, he returned to his private quarters and pulled out his phone. With slightly trembling fingers, he began searching for "Honkai: Star Rail."

Soon, the game finished downloading. As he launched it, he muttered to himself, "I-I must summon Miss Astria too! And protect her at all costs. Even within the game, I cannot allow any harm to come to her."
