Seeing Dan Heng's incredibly cool ultimate skill, Guinaifen's eyes sparkled with excitement.
After finally calming down.
She couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of the developer!
"Why won't they let me spend money on a character like this!?"
"Who do they think they're looking down on!?"
In fact.
She even wished she could become the game's planner herself.
She'd set up different tiers for Dan Heng's character.
The first tier would have no close-up for the ultimate skill.
The second tier would unlock the close-up effect, but without the ink-wash painting background. To unlock the full version, you'd have to pay more!
The third tier would be the complete version of the ultimate skill!
Developer, do you even know how to make money!?
You've got to do it like me!
Unfortunately.
Not only did they not do this, but they also gave the character away for free.
This mysterious developer, [Yu Ling], was someone she didn't know at all. She could only leave a suggestion in the game's comment section.
For now, she pushed these thoughts aside.
And focused on the story.
Although the elite Voidranger was no match for them, it suddenly let out a furious roar.
Shadows began to appear in the air.
They were the Voidranger's minions.
March 7th immediately complained, "Hey, hey, hey, if you can't win, you gang up… is that fair?"
As she spoke, she slowly tried to back away.
Dan Heng, meanwhile, held his spear, ready to cover their retreat.
At that moment.
A propeller-shaped machine suddenly appeared.
Spinning at high speed, it instantly shredded one of the Voidrangers.
Then, the blades extended into a circular saw, cutting through the Voidrangers like vegetables.
Finally, it shattered the elite Voidranger.
The group quickly decided to break through from the front.
The scene shifted.
To another part of the space station.
A pair of slender, jade-like hands gently closed.
A mature, magnetic voice rang out. "You always make things so thrilling, but… it's good to have you back."
A red-haired woman appeared on the screen.
With a gentle smile.
"A new character has appeared!"
"And it's a mature big sister!"
Guinaifen's face flushed with excitement.
"I wonder if she'll become a playable character!"
In the livestream.
The moment the red-haired woman appeared, the chat exploded.
...
[Chat]
"Such a beautiful big sister!"
"I love mature and gentle women like this!"
"Wait? Don't you all recognize her? This is the Astral Express's navigator, Miss Himeko!"
"So it's her! Not only is she a top scientist, but she's also so beautiful in person!"
"I'm totally in love. From now on, I'm only a fan of Miss Himeko!"
......
Astral Express.
When the monomolecular saw appeared, Welt couldn't help but smile.
When Dan Heng made his appearance earlier, he had already had a premonition.
Sure enough.
Now even Himeko had made her debut.
"As expected of Miss Himeko. She's so reliable in the eyes of the children."
Himeko, however, was unfazed.
She was busy operating on the screen beside her.
Welt asked, "Himeko, what are you doing?"
"I'm looking up information about this game, but there's very little public information available."
"All I know is that the developer is named [Yu Ling]. I don't even know if it's a person, a company, or an organization?"
"But…"
"But what?" Welt asked.
"But I found a related game livestream. It's a young girl from Xianzhou who started streaming. Like us, she's just starting to experience the game."
Himeko turned the screen to show Welt.
Sure enough.
The game progress in the livestream was about the same as theirs.
The real-time viewer count in the top-right corner had already reached over ten thousand!
"Her livestream originally had only a few thousand viewers, but because she streamed Honkai: Star Rail, it attracted a lot of attention in a short time."
"It seems this game is gradually gaining popularity," Welt remarked.
Meanwhile.
The chat on the livestream was flooded with comments.
...
[Chat]
"What are the requirements to marry Miss Himeko?"
"This big sister is so charming. I fell in love at first sight!"
"Even I, a woman, can't resist!"
"I've got my dream material for tonight."
...
Himeko glanced at the chat and calmly turned it off.
On the screen.
It was showing the first meeting between her and Stelle.
Apart from a few subtle differences in words and expressions, it was almost exactly the same as what she remembered.
It was as if an invisible camera had recorded everything at the time and turned it into a game.
So, Himeko was thinking about one thing.
If the game's story ended at the space station, that would be one thing.
After all, these were events that had already happened. It was possible to recreate them through some technical means.
But if there was more to the story, wouldn't that mean we'd get to see what happens on Jarilo-VI?
She turned her head.
Looking out the window at the snow-covered planet.
Just as she was about to contact Dan Heng and the others on their Trailblazing mission, her phone buzzed with a notification.
It was a message from March 7th.
Himeko read it.
The gist was that everything was going smoothly so far. With the help of a robot named Svarog, they had obtained information about the Stellaron.
They planned to rest for the night and head to the Stellaron's location tomorrow.
Himeko hesitated for a moment.
But decided not to tell them about Honkai: Star Rail yet.
It could wait until their mission was over tomorrow.
Of course.
Tomorrow, she would keep an eye on the situation below to ensure nothing unexpected happened.
Putting down her phone.
A cry of surprise came from the streamer Xiao Guizi on the screen.
"Everyone! Am I seeing this right!?"
"Miss Himeko is also a playable character!"
"And she's joined our team!"
"Ahhh! I have to try out Himeko's skills right away!"
To be continued…
