Chapter 199: The Duke is dead, and you are announcing "White Night"?
Changle Temple Plaza.
Several new large screens for broadcasting have been installed here.
It has seemingly become one of the landmark locations for the "Honkai: Star Rail" gaming culture circle on the Xianzhou Luofu.
At this moment.
Quite a few players have gathered here.
On the large screens.
Besides the Interastral Peace News regarding Duke Inferno currently playing, there was also the PV for "Ever-Flame Mansion: The 33rd Night."
The sharp contrast between the content of the two.
Gave rise to a sense of black humor!
It even attracted some players wearing masks, suspected to be Masked Fools.
And on the screen in the middle.
Was the content from Feathered Spirit's official account.
Now, more than half of the players across the entire network suspect that the Duke's death is related to Feathered Spirit, and they have been actively leaving comments.
Many players are also very curious: what kind of feedback will Feathered Spirit actually give regarding this incident?
If Feathered Spirit makes a reply, a notification would be received here immediately.
And it would be made public to all the players in the plaza.
In a corner of the plaza.
Lin Yu and Robin naturally witnessed the entire process of the event.
"I think this matter probably has nothing to do with Feathered Spirit…"
Robin said thoughtfully,
"Because he is the developer of the game; he can do anything within the game."
"Even if Duke Inferno deliberately acted against the experiences in the game, it wouldn't be worth Feathered Spirit taking action personally."
"I have dealt with Feathered Spirit before, and I can feel from his music that he is definitely not such a narrow-minded person."
Lin Yu smiled slightly.
It really felt good to hear someone praising him behind his back.
"Feathered Spirit should give a clear explanation."
"And, according to his style, he will probably release something that will shock everyone."
Robin pursed her lips.
She gave an approving smile: "You're right."
"From the first day I knew about the game 'Honkai: Star Rail,' I've heard about Feathered Spirit's amazing feats every day."
"Never mind me, even those [ Big Shots ] are probably shocked to the point of numbness!"
Lin Yu, meanwhile, opened the system.
He sent the edited content.
At the same time.
He attached a video!
He looked up at the large screen.
Next, it should get quite lively here.
One minute later.
A "Ding-dong—" notification sound for a new message rang out across the plaza.
This was originally the most ordinary message alert.
But at this moment.
It made everyone's hearts skip a beat!
They stopped everything they were doing.
And looked towards the main screen in unison!
Robin also put down her phone.
She looked at the message on the screen with a grave expression.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"
"Feathered Spirit responded!!"
"Holy crap! Hurry up and see what's going on!"
"It couldn't really be Feathered Spirit's doing, could it!?"
[ I believe everyone must be very curious about the circumstances of the attack on Duke Inferno. Here, I can tell everyone very clearly— ]
[ This matter is not as simple as imagined. ]
[ Of course, it can also be very simple. ]
[ In the upcoming Version 2.0, within the Penacony storyline, you will find the answers you want. ]
[ Additionally, regarding the Duke Inferno incident, I express my deep regret. ]
[ Herewith, I present the latest produced OP — "White Night" ]
The content of the message was very brief.
Yet it left everyone stunned in place for a moment.
"Holy shit! The information density feels huge!"
"Jokes aside, does anyone really think Feathered Spirit did this?"
"Are you kidding? Just a measly Annihilation Gang, would Feathered Spirit need to take action personally?"
"However, Feathered Spirit obviously knows exactly how Duke Inferno died."
"Maybe when the Duke died, Feathered Spirit was standing in the stars calmly watching; that's the kind of aura Feathered Spirit should have!"
"Dammit, he actually won't tell us directly and hid it in the 2.0 plot!"
"When is the update! I can't stay in this 1.0 version for even another second!"
"By the way, what is this OP for? Is no one focusing on this like I am?"
After a round of heated discussion.
The attached video below was opened.
At this time.
People had not yet realized the gravity of the situation.
Most people thought.
This was nothing more than a video showcasing the in-game maps and music quality of "Honkai: Star Rail."
The previous "Wildfire" and "Samudrartha" were already shocking enough, being praised repeatedly throughout the universe.
Feathered Spirit probably wouldn't create any new musical content in such a short time.
They began watching with an attitude of appreciation and review.
All the screens went black briefly at this time.
For a moment, only the ambient lights were on in the plaza.
It was like the moment before a grand play begins.
Immediately following.
A brisk and uplifting whistling sound rang out.
Images appeared in the video.
A man held the brim of a top hat…
With a graceful turn.
He flicked his coattails.
The other hand tossed a chip.
The spotlights lit up!
They shone on two separate areas.
The man's figure appeared fully on the screen.
The scene immediately erupted with some confused voices.
"Whoa! Who is this?"
"A character who hasn't appeared in the game!"
"I know this person! He's a high-level executive of the Interastral Peace Corporation! His name is Aventurine!"
"Ah?"
"Is this video sponsored by the Corporation?"
Soon.
A burst of surprised cheers erupted from the scene.
Because.
The person projected by the spotlight on the other side.
Was precisely the protagonist of "Honkai: Star Rail," the Trailblazer!
Then.
The Trailblazer and Aventurine began to dance to the rhythm of the music.
Using both hands and feet!
The movements were concise and powerful!
Extremely ornamental!
On the scene.
Everyone was stunned!
One by one, they stood frozen in place.
Their mouths hanging wide open!
They never expected.
This video would actually have this kind of style!
However.
The even more heavy-hitting content had only just begun.
The prelude ended.
The main feature began!
[ I want you to show me your fantasy (your fantasy) ]
The accompanying image.
Was precisely a beautiful sports car driving along a magnificent track.
And the people in the car.
Caught everyone off guard!
They almost doubted their own eyes!
That was clearly the Halovian singer famous throughout the galaxy—Robin!
And.
Her brother, Sunday!
The two sat together in the car.
Sunday leaned his head on one hand, seeming somewhat listless.
While Robin had a smile on her face.
Holding a cocktail glass in her hand.
She lightly raised the glass toward the camera!
As if enjoying this pleasant time!
"???"
"!!!"
"Ah???"
"By the Thousand-Faced God, what am I seeing! It's actually Miss Robin!"
"I never dreamed that Robin would actually appear in Feathered Spirit's video!?"
"Double fans' joy!!"
"My favorite episode!"
"Feathered Spirit, you're not making games properly and ran off to be a singer?"
"This isn't some in-game appreciation video at all; it's basically a trailer for the Penacony version released by Feathered Spirit!"
