Chapter 118: Emergency from the Company! Launch the counter-propaganda strategy! Kafka is targeted!
Outside the Supreme Guardian's office.
Aventurine tidied his hair.
Numby shook its head, looking at him smugly.
" Hoo..."
Aventurine sighed.
" I can't afford to mess with you."
He casually pulled a gold coin from his pocket and tossed it to the Warp Trotter.
Numby immediately pounced, biting onto it.
Then, it swallowed it down!
It still looked at Aventurine, unsatisfied.
" Just as insatiable as your master, huh?"
Aventurine prepared to slip away.
He left a few messages for Topaz.
[ I won't get involved in the mission here. I originally thought I could get a share, but now I'm bound to be implicated... ]
[ The higher-ups mean for me to head to Penacony as soon as possible, because the plot of Honkai: Star Rail is clearly heading there. ]
[ To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I'm leaving first. ]
[ Good luck. ]
After sending the messages.
Aventurine put on his sunglasses and boarded his spaceship under the escort of employees.
Inside the spaceship.
He finally had a rare moment of leisure.
He started browsing videos.
Because he had been following Honkai: Star Rail closely recently, the recommended content was all related to it.
Before, it was mostly character guides, plot analysis, map easter eggs, and so on.
Today's recommended content was a bit unusual.
[ Don't be fooled by Honkai: Star Rail! This is the real Kafka, an extremely dangerous destructive element! ]
[ Why I don't recommend anyone to play Honkai: Star Rail anymore... ]
[ Following Silver Wolf, two more Stellaron Hunters have entered the Warp, and Feathered Spirit is suspected of collaborating with the Stellaron Hunters! ]
After a quick look at these videos.
Aventurine let out a cold laugh.
" Heh, are the Marketing Development Department people that anxious?"
" They're already planning to execute an anti-propaganda strategy and start setting the pace."
" This content... it's the same old stuff from those marketing accounts."
" Is that all? I don't think Feathered Spirit even needs to step in personally; the players will probably flood them."
" Another good show to watch."
...Silver Wolf had her legs propped up on the window sill.
She reclined her seat back.
She was operating on the screen in a very comfortable position.
She had been looking bored.
Suddenly, a look of interest appeared on her face.
As if she had discovered some fresh and interesting big news!
" Hahaha..."
" Kafka, you're caught in the crossfire this time."
" The Company's Marketing Development Department bought a bunch of trolls to smear Honkai: Star Rail. Guess who the main target is?"
Kafka's eyes narrowed slightly.
She asked cooperatively, " It wouldn't be me, would it?"
" That's right, it's you!"
" Those people in the Company are really anxious."
Kafka looked out the window. In the background of the black stars, her reflection was visible.
" I don't need them to smear me."
" In the next act, I will personally take the stage and perform."
She opened her phone.
A text message was successfully edited.
The recipient was: Feathered Spirit.
...
[ How about an impromptu performance? ]
This anonymous message seemed a bit inexplicable, but the system filtered and confirmed it as important news.
Lin Yu thought for a moment and quickly came up with the answer.
" It must be a message from Kafka."
He used [ Eye of Insight ] to confirm, and indeed it was.
" Impromptu performance?"
Lin Yu was about to reply, asking what kind of impromptu performance it was.
Suddenly, he thought of something and canceled sending.
" Right, let's try this new ability."
He activated [ Dream Master ].
On the other side.
Kafka is in her room.
After sending the message, she suddenly felt an unprecedented drowsiness.
She closed her eyes.
She fell asleep almost immediately.
Silver Wolf glanced at Kafka next to her.
Seeing that her breathing was even, she seemed to be asleep.
She softly sighed, " So you have times when you're tired too."
" Young people are great, they can fall asleep as soon as they lie down."
At this moment.
In the dream.
Kafka realized she was on an island in the clouds.
Looking at the bizarre surroundings, she was thoughtful.
A figure appeared in front of her.
" It's you..."
" Feathered Spirit?"
An excited expression appeared on Kafka's face.
Was this mysterious game developer finally willing to meet her in this way?
Although it was just a dream.
But it had to be said that it was a great step forward.
" It's me."
Lin Yu's voice was cold and majestic.
He looked emotionless.
Inside, he felt a slight stir.
This completely controlled dream space was really good!
Everything was up to him.
Although he was still using his own image, he had changed some details.
For example.
He coated his pupils with a golden edge, keeping the center highlighted.
Even a casual glance had a soul-stirring feeling.
A head of pale golden, long hair hung down to his waist.
It floated slowly as the clouds drifted by.
His feet didn't touch the ground.
He floated slightly above the ground.
Coupled with a simple yet elegant white robe.
Even an Aeon would feel inferior!
Lin Yu was also very satisfied with this image.
" You... you shouldn't look like this in reality, right?" Kafka asked tentatively.
" This is the dream space I control; everything is decided by me."
" For example, like this."
With a wave of his hand.
Kafka's black coat and suit instantly disappeared. They were replaced by a set of professional attire with an excellent aura.
Kafka looked at her outfit.
She smiled slightly, " It suits me well."
Then she got straight to the point, " Since you're willing to meet me in this way, you must also want to hear about the [ impromptu performance ] I mentioned, right?"
" Mhm."
Lin Yu was currently maintaining a cool image, using few words like gold.
" It's simple, the [ Company ] wants to smear me as much as possible before my Warp arrives, thereby affecting the popularity of Honkai: Star Rail and character sales."
" And I want them to shoot themselves in the foot."
Lin Yu's gaze deepened slightly.
" I understand what you mean."
He raised his hand.
A golden ball of light appeared in his palm.
" These are your character data after you officially go online."
" At that time, you can introduce yourself."
Kafka grabbed the golden ball of light in her hand.
She raised an eyebrow.
" Thanks."
" I should wake up now."
She turned around and waved her hand.
She also said, " We are now friends with the same goal, right?"
" Can we change your appearance next time?"
" Looking like this really gives people some pressure."
Lin Yu still spoke in a profound and mysterious tone, " This is my true appearance."
" I believe you."
Kafka leaped towards the clouds in front of her.
She tried to wake up by experiencing a high-altitude freefall.
But this was an absolute dream controlled by Lin Yu. Let alone freefall, even suicide wouldn't wake her up.
That golden ball of light was nothing more than Kafka's skill descriptions and values.
When Kafka's Warp goes online, these will naturally no longer be secrets.
However.
Kafka wanted to start a live stream when her Warp went online.
To introduce her own character skills herself!
I will endorse myself!
To be honest.
Lin Yu was also looking forward to the effect it would have.
" It should cause quite a stir."
" Next, I should prepare for the Penacony live stream Program."
He snapped his fingers, interrupting the dream.
And Kafka, who had been falling continuously and couldn't wake up on her own, felt confused and puzzled.
Until she heard a crisp snap of fingers.
The space before her quickly shattered.
Only then did she realize.
" This dream is completely controlled by him..."
" Feathered Spirit truly is incredible."
As the surrounding space shattered.
Kafka leaned back.
At the same time.
Her consciousness returned to her body, and she tilted her head back.
She blinked.
She tossed the golden ball of light in her hand to Silver Wolf.
" Hey, help me analyze this data stream."
Silver Wolf didn't ask any more questions and directly loaded it into her operating system.
However.
Two seconds later.
Her eyes widened instantly!
Her face was full of disbelief!
" This is..."
" Your game character skills and values!?"
" This character isn't even supposed to appear yet. How did you get this?"
" I had a dream, and I dreamed of Feathered Spirit," Kafka said with a smile.
" What! Feathered Spirit actually met you in a dream?"
" Damn it! Why didn't he contact me directly?"
" It seems I need to clear the Forgotten Hall early and meet him as the server's top player!"
