Chapter 479: Stelle, Come Look at What You've Caused This Time!
The storyline returned to the Trailblazer's perspective.
At this moment.
She had finally arrived at the true destination—
Paperfold University!
The radiant and colorful campus ambiance.
The bustling crowds of passionate students coming and going.
All of it fully proved this fact.
The art style gradually shifted from ridiculous back to normal!
The student players watching this scene marveled one after another.
"Woohoo! We're finally at our Paperfold University~"
"Aside from some non-essential things being scaled down proportionally, the rest looks identical to the Dreamflux Reef I'm familiar with!"
"It feels so immersive, folks!"
"This is the most relatable episode ever!"
Beside a booth up ahead.
March 7th and Dan Heng were waving at Stelle.
"—We're over here!"
Once they met up.
March 7th teased, "Why are you so late? Who did you run off to Aiden Park with this time?"
Stelle explained what she had just experienced.
"Monkeys, ninjas… doesn't sound like something that happened in Penacony, more like a dream bubble," Dan Heng analyzed.
"Hmm… by monkeys, you don't mean them, do you?"
March 7th pointed behind her.
Beneath a massive billboard.
There were two lively, bouncing Slumbernanas!
Acting like an expert, March 7th began to introduce them: "These are the most popular little fellas at Paperfold University right now—even more famous than Clockie."
"Slumbernanas love to slack off and eat bananas. Living in the Moment of Slumber, they lead completely carefree lives."
"No one knows where they came from, but they blew up overnight. Their fans created a set of Banana Slang that only monkey fans can understand, and they've even made all sorts of memes and fan art for them!"
"The most viral thing is that 'Slumber Song'—Bana-bana-bana-bana Bana-bana-bana-bana"
Following March 7th's introduction.
The live chat scrolled furiously!
…
"Wait, this thing was actually popular?"
"I only found out there was such a thing as Slumbernanas through the main storyline of Honkai: Star Rail."
"I just took two days off work, how come I didn't know this blew up in Penacony?"
"I object! Clockie is the number one most popular character in Penacony!"
"Being more popular than Clockie makes no sense at all."
"Mikhail, I must regroup the Compass Fleet."
"Clockie fell out of the meta [ sadly ]"
…
In the crowd.
March 7th keenly noticed the live chat's barrage of comments!
Her expression changed slightly!
She blurted out, "Oh no, we've already fallen for it!"
"Players from other regions have no idea what Slumbernanas are, but in our perception, this thing actually blew up!"
"This means we've already been infected by a memetic virus!"
"We're doomed!"
Hearing this, Stelle was also somewhat surprised.
After thinking it through calmly, she whispered, "Don't panic!"
"Slumbernanas do exist in our reality, but in our impression, they never reached a crazy level of popularity."
"I think it's because the existence of Honkai: Star Rail suppressed its influence to an extremely low degree."
"Look at the game's storyline again—the way the Slumbernanas have taken the entire Paperfold University by storm."
"This proves the memetic pollution in the game is far more severe than in our reality…"
The more March 7th listened, the more shocked she became!
She stared at Stelle in disbelief!
When did your brain start working so well?
You're actually giving off a dependable vibe!
You've really grown up!
Stelle!
Breathing a sigh of relief.
March 7th followed Stelle's train of thought and continued: "In other words… we can just wait and see how the plot unfolds?"
"Whatever solution we use in the storyline, we can just apply the corresponding method in reality!"
"And!"
"If we make any mistakes or fall into any traps in the story, we can avoid them in advance in reality!"
Stelle nodded in approval.
"You've finally learned the correct way to use Honkai: Star Rail."
"Wow, it feels like cheating!"
March 7th was now completely revitalized.
She was even pleasantly surprised!
No wonder Stelle had been so calm and composed earlier!
Could she have thought about this all along?
Oh no!
Her bestie who she spent every day with was actually a hidden genius!
Back to watching the plot!
…
"Where did you learn all this from?" Dan Heng asked.
"From the alumni group chat, of course. Joining the group before school starts to get familiar with everyone—isn't that common sense?"
March 7th smiled confidently.
"If you're so antisocial, watch out, you won't make any friends after enrollment. Here, let me pull you guys in too!"
[ Camera Elder invited Trailblazer and Dan Heng to the group chat ]
[ Camera Elder: Pulled in two new nans! ]
A crowd of students immediately chimed in with warm welcomes.
Many people even sent Slumbernana sticker packs.
[ Dan Heng: Hello, everyone. ]
A very standard and formal opening, just like Dan Heng himself.
Next was Stelle's turn to speak.
At this moment.
Three options appeared.
[ (Send a monkey sticker pack too)
(Send a serious self-introduction)
(Send a trendy self-introduction) ]
"Knowing my style, I'm definitely going with the trendiest self-introduction!"
Little Gui said as she picked the third option.
Right after.
A string of text that felt absurdly out of pocket appeared in the group chat!
[ Nice to meet you all :.?.o(▽)o.?.: — I'm Stelle, but you can also call me the Galactic Baseballer (strikes a cool pose)! Just a cute little freshman, feel free to add me, please give me lots of bana-guidance~ ]
…
"?"
"WTF?"
"What is this? Can someone tell me what this is?"
"Holy crap! Is Honkai: Star Rail really this trendy?"
"Peak humor!"
"My eyes instantly widened!"
"Our MC is a total social menace."
"Top-tier internet surfer!"
"So cringe, I'm escaping this galaxy overnight!"
…
At the scene.
March 7th cringed so hard her toes curled!
She felt second-hand embarrassment for her dear best friend!
How did you type that out so smoothly?
This is way too extra!
Glancing to the side.
Stelle herself was feeling pretty awkward at this point.
She scratched her head, chuckling foolishly.
Fortunately, the two of them were in disguise this time and hadn't been recognized.
Otherwise, their heroic reputations would have been completely ruined.
March 7th let out a sigh.
Just a moment ago.
Stelle's image had risen in her heart.
The second this plot played out.
It plunged right back to rock bottom.
Yep, that was definitely her!
She might have a random stroke of brilliance, but suddenly becoming permanently smart was out of the question!
