Chapter 123: Kafka Companion Mission Unlocked! Is the entire concept of 'choice' just an illusion of free will?
"That scene at the time was too shocking!"
"Every single one was spewing profanity, listening to a chorus of 'mother'!"
"Little Guizi couldn't help but shout a couple of lines too!"
"[ You're right about everything, but rules are meant to be broken, let go of my Kafka-mom!! ]"
"Guess what happened the very next second?"
"The studio suddenly exploded!"
"Kafka replaced the host and appeared before the live camera with a smile on her face!"
"Good heavens! Everyone was stunned!!~!"
"Even Little Guizi thought it was some kind of show effect, until I saw the Interastral Peace Corporation's fleet dispatched... only then did I realize it was all real-!"
Inside Little Guizi's live stream.
Guinaifen was gesticulating wildly as she recounted what happened at that time to her viewers.
When she got excited, she was practically spraying spit.
The bullet comments also agreed one after another!
...
"Lucky to be there! I can only say I was lucky to participate in this event, my life is complete!"
"The scene was even more exaggerated than what Little Guizi said, Holy! That atmosphere was simply indescribable."
"I watched it at home using my Jade Abacus, although there weren't as many like-minded players around me, but when I saw the studio being taken over by Kafka, I was so excited I almost punched the screen of my Jade Abacus!"
"Kafka personally introducing her skills! I can watch this recording for a lifetime!"
"Do you think it's really true, like the rumors say, that Feathered Spirit has some cooperation with the Stellaron Hunters? Otherwise, how do you explain this incident?"
"The Stellaron Hunters have basically endorsed the game 'Honkai: Star Rail', right? Just thinking that I'm playing the same game as them feels incredible!!"
"I originally liked Feathered Spirit... now I like him even more!"
"Ahhh, just because my boss made me work overtime, I missed an opportunity of a lifetime! Tomorrow I'll take my baseball bat and go offline solo kill my boss!"
"Damn it! Goddamn it! I've never missed a character PV before, it was only today I thought it wouldn't matter if I was a few minutes late, and I missed it...ahhhh..."
"My friend also missed this live broadcast because of something that held them up, hahaha, they've been crying all night."
"Pitiful, heartbroken, satisfied..."
...
Guinaifen's mouth couldn't stop curving upwards.
As a participant in the event.
This sense of satisfaction was practically overflowing!
Especially seeing some viewers who didn't make it there looking full of regret.
It felt like she was eating a state banquet, while some people didn't even make it to a flowing water banquet...
"Alright, alright folks, let's not keep talking about this."
"How would those folks who missed it feel?"
"We can't be the kind of people who build their happiness on the suffering of others."
"Oh, right."
"There's one more thing I forgot to say."
"How did you know I got 2+1 Kafka in 150 pulls?"
...
"Little Guizi, you..."
"The streamer is killing people!!"
"It doesn't matter! My wallet will make a move."
"How did you know I got double gold in a ten-pull?"
"As expected of Kafka-mom, she ate my 160-pull hard pity, this must be mom's test for me!"
[ Note: Cope ]
...
Guinaifen made an apologetic gesture towards the camera.
"Hehe, just kidding everyone."
"Little Guizi is sending out 1000 64800-worth red envelopes here! Wishing everyone can pull the characters they want~"
The entire live stream was filled with bullets of comments saying " Streamer is generous".
Guinaifen has now become a top-tier streamer because of this game; her income is no longer what it used to be.
This wave of giving benefits was also because she had long wanted to give back to her fans.
After doing all this.
Honkai: Star Rail, launch!
When she was in Xianzhou Luofu's Aurum Alley Square, although she had already pulled E2 Kafka, she hadn't had time to cultivate her.
So now that she's online, the first thing to do is naturally cultivate Kafka to maximum!
At this moment.
The upper left corner showed that a new message had been received.
Seeing the red dot, Guinaifen couldn't help but want to click it away.
So she opened the message immediately.
The sender had no avatar, and the name was anonymous.
[ Stelle, come to the Divination Commission alone, coordinates will be sent to you later ]
[ Don't tell anyone ]
[ —Your lovely Kafka ]
"Hiss—"
Seeing the three words Kafka, Guinaifen, immediately became serious!
"This should be... Kafka's Companion Mission, right?"
"Feathered Spirit really opened this mission!"
Cultivating character naturally has to be put aside for now.
A story related to Kafka must be experienced immediately!
Lest she miss some big drama!
[ You are still on the Luofu? ]
[ You say you are Kafka? Proof? ]
[ I will not listen to your request ]
There were three options, Guinaifen originally wanted to choose the first one.
But she felt it wasn't too safe, this Companion Mission shouldn't start with Kafka contacting her, right?
There might be a trap!
[ You say you are Kafka? Proof? ]
But unexpectedly.
The next message.
Kafka directly sent a selfie!
[ Is that enough? ]
[ Blade's Mara is very serious, I can't leave until he recovers ]
[ But you know, the Xianzhou's wanted order for him hasn't been withdrawn, he is still a top-level wanted criminal ]
[ I need you, Stelle, come find me ]
Seeing this scene.
The bullet comments immediately exploded with many impatient guys!
...
"What! Choosing option two actually gives a selfie?"
"Huh? Isn't it supposed to be for all of them?"
"I was so excited at the time, I just clicked it right away!"
"I didn't even think and chose option one, Kafka directly said she needed my help, this is a huge loss (fainting from anger)"
...
"The different options actually have such a big difference?"
Guinaifen glanced at the bullet comments.
She thought to herself that if there were any more choices in the upcoming scene where she meets Kafka, she must be more cautious.
After receiving the coordinates sent by Kafka.
Indeed!
The mission process presented three more options!
[ Go to Kafka's location ]
[ (Optional) Ask Himeko and Welt's opinions ]
[ (Optional) Report Kafka to the Cloud Knights ]
Guinaifen was stunned.
"This, this difference in options is a bit big!"
"Wait, wait!"
"Let me sort it out first..."
...
Unknown route.
Silver Wolf and Kafka were already piloting the spaceship, heading towards the next destination before the Corporation's fleet surrounded the studio.
Fooling the Corporation and getting away unscathed once again.
This was just routine for them.
Silver Wolf set the spaceship to automatic navigation so she could play games without worry.
Looking at the star river outside the window.
Kafka suddenly spoke, "Darling, you say..."
"Does [ Free Will ] exist?"
Silver Wolf was immersed in playing games when she heard Kafka suddenly ask such a philosophical question; she couldn't help but say, " Huh?".
However, she still slightly slowed down her actions.
After thinking for a moment, she replied, "We are [ Slaves of Destiny ], always acting according to the script."
"From this perspective, free will is a joke to us."
Kafka nodded, "Yes, I also thought before: all choices are false, just one of the fated possibilities, free will simply doesn't exist."
"But since the appearance of 'Honkai: Star Rail', this idea has been somewhat shaken."
Silver Wolf sent the screen of Little Guizi's live stream to Kafka.
"Then let's try it. In this Companion Mission, choose the option [ Report Kafka ]."
"No matter what choices appear later, refuse all of them, and see what the final result will be."
"If the ending doesn't change, it means the meaning Feathered Spirit wants to convey is the same as what you thought before."
"If it's different..."
"It will definitely be different." Kafka said with certainty.
"Its (Honkai: Star Rail's) appearance represents the breaking of rules."
Silver Wolf rolled her eyes.
"Are you also a Galactic Baseballer fan?".
