Little Gui's livestream.
"Here we go, everyone!"
"Five minutes ago, Yu Ling posted an update!"
"[The Trailblaze journey in Penacony has come to a beautiful end. It's time to move on to the next destination—but before that, let's bid a formal farewell to the sleepless nights behind us.]"
Guinaifen was visibly excited.
Pointing at this text.
She looked every bit like a devoted fan of Yu Ling.
"Listen to this description!"
"This is so sweet!"
"After all the previous thrills, this storyline is definitely a lighthearted and sunny epilogue~"
"Let's see how beautiful this storyline is, just how beautiful it can be?"
Arriving at the trigger point of the storyline.
In the darkness.
A voice gradually became clear.
"Wake up... wake up..."
"...Hey, Stelle! Stop sleeping, the sun is already up—"
This playful voice was unmistakably March 7th's.
"Are you okay? Can you hear me? I didn't hear any movement in the room, and I was so scared."
A familiar opening.
The last time she woke up like this, it was within a dream within a dream.
But this time, it should be a return to reality.
March 7th began explaining the situation: "You're not dreaming, this is reality, The Reverie Hotel! The Order's beautiful dream has ended."
"Although a day has passed, thinking back still makes me break out in a cold sweat. The Trailblaze journey on the train almost ended here in Penacony..."
"While you were asleep, the Stellaron was sealed. The ordinary people of Penacony have no idea what happened; they just feel like their memories are a bit hazy, as if a part of them was erased."
"The family's official statement is that the Charmony Festival was attacked by an unknown Stellaron, forcing it to be suspended—after all, the matter of Order can't be openly discussed, right?"
"Currently, the four major families outside of Oak are doing their best to quell the aftermath of the incident. The Astral Express Crew has also been invited to board the Radiant Feldspar of the family to participate in an important meeting as witnesses."
"Now we're just waiting for you. Hurry up and get ready. Once you're set, we'll head out!"
In the live stream.
Comments flooded in.
...
"This is so family-like."
"Good thing I'm a 'Honkai: Star Rail' player, otherwise I wouldn't know what happened and would just be swayed by public opinion."
"Thanks to 'Honkai: Star Rail,' we can understand the facts from the most comprehensive perspective."
"I'd say this game is god-tier!"
"Sunday, Acheron, Firefly… these big shots, without the storyline, how could we possibly know so much about them?"
"Damn, I feel like I can't forget Penacony now, wuwu, give me another sleepless night!"
...
Just as the players were marveling.
The storyline suddenly shifted perspectives.
[Meanwhile, at the Golden Hour…]
The bustling streets.
The endless flow of traffic.
Just like reality.
Although the effects and influence of Ena's Dream were profound.
After its collapse, this prosperous city of dreams quickly returned to its usual thriving state.
On a pavilion by the street.
Firefly stood silently by the railing, observing everything below.
And beside her.
A holographic projection suddenly appeared.
"Lost in luxury, just like Epsilon. So? Does it match the Dreamscape you imagined?" Silver Wolf's projection asked.
...
"Your little cutie suddenly appears!"
"Firefly!"
"LOL, there's even a Silver Wolf figurine."
"Whose kid is this?"
"Stellaron Hunters, assemble!"
"Where's my Kafka! It's been so long since I last saw her (sad"
...
"A reminder: don't forget you're still on the Bloodhound Family's wanted list, keep a low profile."
Silver Wolf said nonchalantly.
"And this time it's different from before, the photo isn't of Sam, but Firefly—for you, this should be quite a novel experience, right?"
Firefly nodded with a smile: "Indeed, as Kafka would say… this is also a missing part of my life."
Silver Wolf then mentioned that she had already hacked the entire system.
Using the name Ms. Samuel to replace Firefly's identity.
This allowed her to move freely in Penacony.
Afterward.
Silver Wolf eagerly asked, "Our mission in Penacony is complete. What do you plan to do with the free time? I heard members of the Genius Society are here too. Want to join me for something big?"
"You know, my script isn't finished yet."
"The script only mentions that The Planet of Festivities will grant me three deaths. But it also says I'll gain unforgettable rewards here."
At these words.
Little Gui's expression changed instantly!
Right!
I almost forgot about this important matter!
There's still one death left!
Could it be...
That this death will play out in this storyline?
The once relaxed mood.
Suddenly became tense again!
Seeing Firefly's determination, Silver Wolf sighed and said, "Forget it. Kafka asked me to pass on a message: if you see anything good in Penacony, grab one for me too. Just use my card, you know the password."
"She didn't specify, but I guess it's something like a dress, coat, or sunglasses... You know better than me; you're the ones who usually chat about fashion."
"Sure, I'll keep an eye out. Oti Mall has plenty of options. Do you think she'd like pretty little accessories, like... hairpins or brooches?" Firefly asked.
"Sounds more suitable for a young girl. You should keep those for yourself."
"Also, Blade told me to remind you to be extra careful. He didn't say it outright, but that's probably what he meant—temptation will reappear in Penacony—he's really subtle with his words."
...
"Listening to the Stellaron Hunters chat about daily life~"
"Feels like everyone really cares about Firefly."
"So heartwarming, and with this BGM... the Stellaron Hunters are like a family!!!!"
"Committing crimes together, caring for each other, oh my, this is the organization of my dreams!"
"I'm already capable of destroying stars, can I join the Stellaron Hunters?"
"The third death... it should be fine, right? Right?"
"Can we win? For Firefly!"
...
Firefly looked up at the sky ahead.
A relieved smile appeared on her face.
"It's fine, he's just being kind. Don't worry, Silver Wolf, you know me."
"I won't do anything, I just want to walk around, use my 200 legs, and feel this world a little more. I want to buy Oak Cake Rolls. During my time in Penacony, I ate one every day, from the first day to the last."
"But today I can buy two, and share half with you. If you don't like it, I'll enjoy double the happiness. Or I can bring one to Kafka, she never refuses, or... to Blade, he'd like it."
"These things aren't in the script, right? But look..."
"I've already added new footnotes to fate."
...
At this moment.
A peculiar spaceship was sailing through the cosmos.
In the cockpit.
Were three members of the Stellaron Hunters!
And naturally, they were also following the latest developments in the storyline.
"Not bad, it seems like you're quite cheerful and relieved in this part of the story."
Silver Wolf teased with a mischievous smile,
"Looks like our little Firefly is quite liked by Yu Ling?"
"Many players are saying you're his favorite daughter."
"What are you talking about, Silver Wolf."
Firefly felt a bit embarrassed.
But deep down, she also felt that the plot seemed unusually favorable to her.
Moreover, she was very satisfied with the skill design of her in-game character—Sam.
This made Firefly even more excited about the upcoming journey to Xianzhou.
That's right.
Kafka had already set up the autopilot.
The destination was none other than the current hot spot in the universe, the player's holy land—Xianzhou Luofu!
"This time... will there be a chance to meet Yu Ling?"
