Astral Express, Parlor Car.
"Back in the day, Jing Yuan must have been as full of energy and passion as Feixiao is now," Dan Heng mused.
Fragments of hazy memories seemed to flash through his mind.
A young Jing Yuan, singing with wine in hand.
He, too, had his days of youthful recklessness.
Seeing this, Old Yang teased, "Didn't Jing Yuan want to be a wanderer back then? Who wasn't a passionate young man in their youth?"
He adjusted his glasses.
As if recalling some of his own youthful escapades.
A short video.
Had stirred deep emotions in the two most reserved members of the Astral Express Crew!
Just as Old Yang and Dan Heng were sighing with emotion.
March 7th suddenly let out a gasp!
Successfully shattering the atmosphere that had been building up.
Everyone turned to look at March 7th by the window.
She hadn't been watching the newly released short film by Yu Ling with the others, but had instead been focusing on the live-streamed story.
It seemed there was something in the story that had caught her attention! "Ahhhhh!!!"
"The Hunt, it's actually The Hunt's Path!"
March 7th realized she had gotten a bit too excited.
She covered her mouth!
But her eyes were sparkling with excitement.
She was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes!
Stelle and Himeko leaned over to watch together.
On the game's live-stream interface.
March 7th's character art appeared.
She was holding dual swords.
Slicing through the air with an arc of sword light.
Pink air currents mixed with scattered petals.
Forming a vivid and lifelike scene!
Looking closer at the details of the art.
Beneath her feet were plum blossom stakes.
March 7th stood on the stakes.
Her entire figure appeared light and agile!
Of course.
If her expression wasn't such a silly grin and could be a bit more cool and handsome, it would be even better.
Himeko praised, "Hmm... this image is quite good."
On the right side of the interface.
The emblem of The Hunt appeared.
[Embark on a New Path]
[The Hunt, Imaginary]
March 7th bit her lip.
Suppressing the urge to cry!
So many days and nights had passed.
She,
Had finally welcomed a new form!
Finally,
She was no longer just a warehouse manager!
Aside from the story.
She could finally appear in battles in Honkai: Star Rail!
A cause for celebration!
A joyous occasion for all!
The barrage of comments was scrolling wildly.
The players in the live-stream room also seemed to be celebrating for March 7th!
...
"There are five people, but only four are Imaginary, Himeko, you're not one of them."
"After looking, even though it's The Hunt's Path, little March still leans more towards a sub-DPS, she can't be the main DPS."
"The characters released in version 2.4 shouldn't be too weak, right? They shouldn't just be for fun, right? They should be able to fit into mainstream team compositions, right?"
"Seele: Are you thinking about me?"
"This form is so cute!"
"I'm going to take little March on a journey across the universe!"
"The form switch is so smooth, I've been playing all morning!"
...
March 7th immediately logged into her account.
Watching the story live-stream was one thing, but she hadn't fallen behind in her own game progress!
Following the streamer's steps.
.
After finishing her sword practice.
She successfully unlocked her Hunt form!
Then she came to the Path switching interface.
On the left were the options for [Preservation] and [The Hunt].
The current display showed the stance of The Hunt Path.
Holding dual swords.
One in front, one behind.
A confident smile graced her lips.
This outfit had a distinct Luofu style.
Petals adorned various parts of her body.
March 7th was growing fonder of it by the second!
"I'm just too cute, too beautiful!"
"Earlier, the comments said the form switching was super smooth, let me try it too!"
She clicked on [Preservation].
With a wave of her hands.
A flash of white light enveloped her.
She returned to her usual state.
Her left hand naturally gripped her bow.
Her right hand made a shooting gesture into the air.
She even added an adorable wink!
Then she clicked on [The Hunt].
Once again, she smoothly switched back to the dual-sword stance!
It was seamless!
Just like a transformation!
Though it was just a small detail with no real impact.
March 7th still felt a sense of favoritism from Yu Ling!
Her heart blossomed with joy!
It was sweeter than honey!
In the live stream.
Players who saw this for the first time were also amazed!
...
"This is way too smooth!"
"Even the Stellaron spirit is crying with envy!"
"The Path switching animation is so cute, I could watch it all day!"
"Because it's really fun."
"So adorable~"
"Logging in!!! I'm gonna try it!"
"March 7th: Who's the main character? I don't need to say more."
"Teacher, why can't my Dan Heng switch directly?"
...
Beside her, Stelle was utterly shocked!
Her mouth even hung open in disbelief.
Seeing this.
March 7th's smile widened uncontrollably!
She couldn't hold it back!
Soon...
The amazed players quickly reacted.
And started stirring up the chat.
...
"The Stellaron spirit's three forms are all the same except for the weapons (sad."
"Who said that! There's clearly a hat!"
"The hat counts as a weapon, it's not usually worn."
"Yu Ling, I beg you, open your eyes! It's just a game, we're all on the same train! March 7th gets new clothes, new switching animations, while my main character's Path switch is so subtle I can't even tell without checking the panel…"
"March 7th: Meanwhile, you, don't tell me you only have one outfit?"
"One outfit passed down through three generations, the person is gone but the clothes remain."
"Stellaron spirit: Why?! (crying."
"All you mocking the main character, don't use the Harmony main for super breaks!"
"I'm gonna critique a game where you have to go to a statue to change elements…"
...
Reading the comments.
Stelle's heart was filled with a sense of melancholy.
Yeah!
I'm already a year old!
And no one's given me a single outfit!
Sigh.
Life's not worth living anymore.
I just want to crawl into a trashcan and stay there quietly.
Cut off from the world.
Until the universe is destroyed…
Meanwhile, the players.
Were getting even more excited!
...
"Just for this outfit and Path switching, I'm pulling like crazy!"
"Effects don't matter, even if she just stands there, I'm pulling!"
"For March 7th, I'm even willing to skip Firefly!"
"I pulled for Boothill, I don't have any Stellar Jade left, I'll have to wait for March's rerun."
"But March 7th of The Hunt was given for free, not obtained through gacha."
"Huh?"
"What? Yu Ling is this generous?"
"This is practically treating her like a daughter!"
"Stellaron Spirit: No wonder the Stellaron attached itself to me. It was just to protect your daughter, huh?"
"Stelle: I clearly understand that everyone's path is unique and cannot be replicated. I'm walking my own path."
...
At this moment.
The streamer, Little Gui, was also in awe.
"Everyone!"
"I just checked!"
"The latest event, Saga of Primaveral Blade, even gives away three Eidolons for March 7th of The Hunt!"
"Oh my god!"
"This is way too good, isn't it?"
Little Gui took a tactical sip of water, gulping down a few mouthfuls.
Then, with excitement, she turned to the camera and said, "Next, let's take a look at March 7th's skills!"
"Since even the Eidolons are given for free, let's keep our expectations modest when it comes to her strength and effects."
