" NOTE: Sorry for the lack of updates for the past few days. I was fairly certain I had left a note on the previous chapter that I would be gone for a week, but it appears I never did. My bad? Anyway, I'll be updating 15 chapters, including this one, later today or by tomorrow. Happy reading later! "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 139: Ignite the Universe! Sleepless Night for the Star Rail players!
In Guinaifen's livestream room.
The main story quest [ A Requiem for Peace, A Road to the Sky ] had just ended.
But the easter egg at the very end.
Undoubtedly brought a huge " surprise!" to all players.
Guinaifen was stunned for a long time.
Only then did she exclaim, " March 7th, you really are a great prophet!"
" Could she really be a genius?"
" Got it! From now on, whatever March says at the beginning, I'll believe it."
In the livestream's bullet chat.
There was also a crazy discussion about whether Luocha is truly pure and kind.
However, no conclusion was reached in the end.
Although the current plot revealed many secrets, there was still too little information about Luocha's identity.
They needed to wait for the subsequent plot.
While preparing to farm materials for Imbibitor Lunae Dan Heng, Guinaifen thought about when the next version update would be.
She muttered to herself, " This cliffhanger is making me so uncomfortable!"
" But there's nothing I can do, Feathered Spirit just likes to do this."
" Those who know, know!"
" We can only hope he updates soon, maybe he'll even do another preview livestream or something..."
" Jingliu should be in the gacha pool in the next version, right?"
" Do you think Feathered Spirit might even be able to get Jingliu to participate in a livestream?"
Suddenly.
Guinaifen received a notification.
From Feathered Spirit!
She was startled.
She immediately clicked on it!
[ To all players across the universe, I regret to inform you of a piece of news... ]
Seeing this title.
Guinaifen immediately became nervous.
" Ahhhhh!!!!"
" What's going on!"
" Is Feathered Spirit going to stop updating?"
" Not planning to operate this game anymore?"
In the livestream room.
After a brief silence.
The players' bullet chat appeared like a geyser!
...
" What's going on? I received this notification too!"
" No way? Could it be that after the last universe-wide livestream, Feathered Spirit was found?"
" Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
" Isn't Feathered Spirit suspected to be a Memory keeper? Who can touch him?"
" This, this, this! How am I supposed to live without 'Honkai: Star Rail!?"
" I just pulled E2 Dragon Dan, is this game going to shut down?"
...
And Feathered Spirit's next words.
Made all the players' eyes go black!
[ For a very long time in the future, I will not be conducting any minor updates... ]
Guinaifen held her head in her hands, looking like she was about to cry to death.
" Noooo!"
" No..."
" Is Great God Feathered Spirit being targeted by some unspeakable existences because this game exposed too many secrets?"
" If that's the case, we can wait!"
" Feathered Spirit, just keep a low profile for the meantime, release some events or something, don't cause any more big trouble."
" We Star Rail players will always support you!"
...
" Little Gui is right!"
" I always felt that the story Feathered Spirit made was too crazy! The Astral Express, the Stellaron Hunters, Herta Space Station, the Xianzhou, the IPC... He really dares to expose everything that can be exposed! But because of this, he must have offended many forces in the galaxy..."
" Even for a Memo Keeper, this pressure is too great! Great God Feathered Spirit is currently being watched by the entire universe!"
" I heard that players in many regions no longer believe in the Aeons and have switched to believing in Feathered Spirit."
" The more you say it, the more dangerous it sounds. Great God Feathered Spirit's decision is quite good, take a break for a while."
" I still haven't cleared Simulated Universe, and I urgently need to build a second team for Forgotten Hall, and there are still many side quests I haven't done... I think a long time is acceptable, as long as the game is still here, everything is fine!"
...
Just when all the players and Little Gui were gradually accepting this fact.
Feathered Spirit's next sentence.
Was like throwing a bomb into a calm lake!
Exploding the entire scene!
[ Therefore, I will be conducting an unprecedented major update today. ]
[ The content it covers includes all version content originally planned to be released continuously in version 1.0. ]
[ ...Added 6 limited 5-star characters, 3 4-star characters, all included in this update... ]
[ ...As well as new Trailblaze Missions, Companion Missions, Event Missions... ]
[ Want to know everything about the future? If you do, you can find it all in this update. Go and enjoy " Honkai: Star Rail"! All my game content is there! ]
The video ended with Feathered Spirit's mysterious smile.
And this.
Directly caused a storm in the hearts of all players!
...
" Is, is this real!?"
" Someone slap me a few times! I suspect I'm dreaming!!"
" 6 limited 5-star characters, 3 new 4-stars? You're releasing so much content all at once!? Are you crazy, Great God Feathered Spirit, or am I crazy!!"
" On the Aeon of Elation, this is too much fun!"
" I can already imagine how crazy "Honkai: Star Rail" will be tonight!"
" Tonight will be a sleepless night for all the players across the entire universe!!!"
...
Guinaifen was so excited that she fell directly off her chair!
But she seemed to feel no pain.
Her face was flushed with excitement! The contrast was too great!
One second, she thought Feathered Spirit was about to stop updating, the next second he directly presented everyone with such a " big gift"!
Her mood was like being at a rave!
" Phew..."
" I can only say..."
" Feathered Spirit! As expected of you!!!"
...
Astral Express.
March 7th, Stelle, Himeko, Old Yang, and Pom-Pom...
After watching the video released by Feathered Spirit, they were all stunned on the spot for a moment!
Everyone's expressions were wonderful.
Especially March 7th.
Her head was buzzing!
Feathered Spirit's move was too explosive!
Even calm people like Himeko and Old Yang were quite shocked, let alone her.
The first one to recover was Pom-Pom!
Pom-Pom jumped onto the sofa excitedly.
With hands on hips and said excitedly, " Hahaha... Feathered Spirit, you did a great job, Pom!"
" This way, we can know in advance what unwelcome guests will arrive on the Express!"
" This conductor announces that next, we will prioritize the plot on the Express, Pom!"
" What are your opinions?"
Pom-Pom's voice brought everyone present back to their senses.
Himeko was the first to say, " I have no problem. As the navigator of the Express, I naturally have to prioritize the safety of the Express."
Old Yang nodded, " My opinion is consistent with Ms. Himeko's."
March 7th and Stelle bumped fists and said, " Us too! The safety of the Express is definitely the most important!"
" I still have a shadow from the Garden of Recollection incident. We absolutely cannot let strange people or things find the Express again!"
Alchemy Commission.
Jing Yuan, Dan Heng, Jingliu, and Blade watched the video released by Feathered Spirit.
The atmosphere instantly became heavy!
Even Blade frowned tightly.
He felt somewhat unbelievable.
After a moment.
Jing Yuan spoke first, " Everyone, if I'm not mistaken, we should have some scenes next."
" Undoubtedly, this plot also involves the Luofu, and involves the past... well, the [ Cloud Knights Quintet ] to be precise."
" If you all have no objections, let's focus on this part of the story first."
Jingliu replied, " Of course."
Blade's eyes under his bangs emitted a cold light.
" Very good, very good..."
" I also want to see, in this plot, will we kill each other? or will we sit together peacefully like we are now?"
Suddenly.....
His phone made a notification sound.
Feeling a bit unaccustomed, he took out his phone.
It was a message from the Stellaron Hunter group chat.
[ Silver Wolf: Feathered Spirit really played a big one this time... ]
[ Kafka: This universe is about to change. The fate of everyone who appears in the game's plot will undergo a major turning point. I also need to find a place to properly experience the upcoming content. ]
[ Sam: Envious of you all having your own plot. Now I'm the only one left in the Stellaron Hunters who hasn't entered the gacha pool. ]
[ Silver Wolf: Don't worry! I don't think Feathered Spirit will forget you. Maybe among the five hidden, limited 5-star characters in this major update, you're one of them. ]
[ Kafka: Sam's original script was in Penacony, right? Then he should appear when the plot reaches Penacony. ]
[ Sam: A little curious, I wonder how Feathered Spirit will make me appear? ]
[ Silver Wolf: Definitely like Kafka, not only a playable character, but also designed as a boss. Your fighting style is too suitable for being a boss hahaha! ]
[ Silver Wolf: Blade, did you lose your phone? At least make a sound? ]
Blade was silent for a moment.
He replied with a sticker
[ Thumbs Up ]
Then.
He quickly put away his phone.
Still maintaining his aloofness and indifference.
He looked at the three people present.
" Let's begin."
...
Herta Space Station.
In the office.
Herta, Screwllum, and Ruan Mei sat in their seats, with a large screen in front of each of them.
The project they were working on was none other than the Simulated Universe in " Honkai: Star Rail".
On Herta's screen.
She was battling the leader-level enemy of [ Swarm Disaster ] - True Sting (Complete).
With a breath attack from the True Sting.
Her Fu Xuan finally couldn't hold on anymore.
She fell to the ground directly.
Herta looked indifferent, gently pushed the screen back, and said, " What do you two think? The Simulated Universe in this game?"
Ruan Mei said, " The overall feel is still the combat style of this game."
" The events and battles experienced are mostly presented in text form."
" Although it's not as immersive as the Simulated Universe we built, as a gameplay element in a game, the text within also contains a lot of interesting information."
" Or rather, from a broad perspective, this method seems to be more easily accepted by players."
Herta turned around and said, " It seems you have a high evaluation of this gameplay."
" To be precise, I am... very interested in this game."
Herta nodded.
" So, Screwllum, what are your thoughts?"
" I believe: we should not only focus on the [ Simulated Universe ] gameplay in the game, its predictive plot is still worth paying attention to."
Herta tilted her head, " You mean following the Express's perspective to see the grudges and enmities along the way? Come on, I'm not interested."
At this moment.
Ruan Mei shared the screen to the two of them.
It was Feathered Spirit's video.
" Then... what if the plot returns to the Space Station?"
" Perhaps, [ I ] will also become one of the playable characters in the game."
Herta immediately smiled and said, " Ruan Mei, you're thinking too much, aren't you?"
" The character Feathered Spirit designed for me is just a puppet of mine, with all that spinning around, and that big diamond..."
" If you were also designed in that style, I would really laugh at you for an entire Amber Era."
" Then let's take a look," Ruan Mei said without joy or sorrow.
