I Play Stat-Sticks in Honkai: Star Rail

The next moment, the quality of the [Battle-Ready Bodyguard] suddenly changed, transforming from gold to platinum.

Although the effect remained the same, Liuge vaguely felt that the true effect of this stat-stick could only be known after using it.

Knock, knock, knock!

Suddenly, Liuge's door was knocked.

"Come in."

Welt opened the door and walked in from outside.

"Liuge, your stuff."

As he spoke, Welt tossed the finished Gundam model in his hand to Liuge.

In that instant, Liuge's speed blurred into afterimages.

You can't just throw models around carelessly!

After hastily putting the model down, Liuge looked at Welt with a resentful gaze.

"Old Yang, that's not cool. You can't just toss models around like that."

"Haha, sorry."

Welt knew his actions were a bit much, and a hint of apology appeared on his face.

"Speaking of which, Liuge. You're also from Earth, right? Can you tell me what happened after I left?"

"Unicorn model!"

Liuge directly raised a finger and made another offer.

"Tell me quickly!"

Welt helplessly put his hand to his forehead and nodded.

Seeing that Old Yang had agreed to his condition, Liuge began to recount the events in the Honkai Impact 3rd world after Welt's departure.

Of course, Liuge naturally wouldn't reveal anything too classified.

After all, with his current appearance, Old Yang's discerning eye would immediately tell that he wasn't in a high-ranking position.

If he wasn't in a high-ranking position, yet knew things that even high-ranking officials might not know, Old Yang would suspect something was amiss.

Therefore, Liuge wouldn't talk about those things. He only mentioned some major events that had occurred, leaving the details for Welt to figure out himself.

"So, so many things happened?"

Welt nodded, greeted Liuge, and then left.

Now, Liuge felt a bit bored staying in his room.

He followed Old Yang out of the room and headed towards the main control carriage of the Astral Express.

When Liuge arrived at the main control carriage, a refreshing aroma attracted him.

Following the scent, he saw Himeko, with her fiery red long hair, sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee and admiring the starlight flowing past the carriage window.

"Mmm, Liuge, you're here! Want a cup?"

Himeko also noticed Liuge at this moment and said gently to him.

"Then I'll have a cup."

Hearing Liuge's words, Himeko's eyes lit up.

Before long, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Liuge.

Smelling the fragrant aroma, Liuge felt his saliva secreting.

He picked up the coffee, blew on it slightly, and took a small sip. The rich and bitter taste immediately filled his mouth.

However, for Liuge, who used to be a programmer, it was just ordinary.

It even reminded him a little of his tough life before his transmigration.

"This coffee is really good~"

Liuge praised, and while drinking the coffee with a smiling Himeko, they admired the starlit scenery constantly passing by outside the carriage.

But he didn't know that March 7th, who was hiding to the side, wanting to see Liuge make a fool of himself from drinking coffee, was now completely stunned.

Someone could actually drink Himeko's coffee and even praise it?

March 7th looked at Liuge as if he were a monster, not knowing what to say.

"March, why are you standing here? Didn't you say you were looking for Liuge?"

From behind, Stelle patted March 7th on the shoulder and asked curiously.

But March 7th just silently raised her hand and pointed at Liuge, who was drinking coffee, without saying a word.

"Hmm? Liuge? What is he drinking?"

Stelle also smelled the refreshing aroma and, without thinking, walked forward to ask Himeko for a cup of coffee. Even March 7th couldn't stop her.

"Wait, Stelle!"

March 7th was about to stop Stelle's action when she saw Stelle drink the coffee too, her expression unchanged.

"March, what's wrong?"

"Don't you think it's bitter?"

"It's not bitter. Himeko's coffee has a rich aroma, it's quite delicious, and the aftertaste makes it even more unforgettable."

"Is... is that so?"

"Yeah, try it if you don't believe me. It's not bitter at all!"

Seeing Stelle and Liuge show no signs of bitterness and savoring the taste, March 7th couldn't help but waver.

Could it be that Himeko's coffee today wasn't very bitter?

Thinking this, March 7th also asked Himeko for a cup of coffee and drank it like Stelle.

The next moment, her eyes widened, but Stelle, standing behind her, had already quietly reached out and covered her mouth. Stelle's expression seemed to break at this moment, twisting into a grimace.

If one had to say who that expression resembled, it would definitely be 80% similar to a distorted-faced Iori Minase...

016 Smash! Shatter! Bravo!

It had been three days since they left Herta Space Station.

At first, Liuge thought the Astral Express would travel a certain distance like in the game, then perform a space jump, and immediately arrive near the planet Jarilo-VI.

However, after three full days, Liuge hadn't heard the slightest hint of a space jump. Instead, March 7th and Stelle's relationship had grown even closer.

He could see the two of them laughing and chatting almost every day.

As for Dan Heng, he spent almost all day in the train's library and never came out.

When Liuge asked, he found out that Dan Heng's room was inside the library, to the extent that he slept on the floor.

If you crave knowledge so much, why aren't you of the Path of Erudition, but The Hunt? Not to mention that after being pierced by Blade, you directly transformed into Destruction!

It could be said that for the past two days, Liuge had spent his time mostly drinking coffee and watching Old Yang build Gundam models.

As if unable to stand Liuge just wandering around idly and dirtying the floor he had just cleaned, Pom-Pom, huffing with anger, jumped up and grabbed his collar, forcing him to lean down and face him.

Pom-Pom glared at Liuge with a fierce expression.

"Passenger Liuge, if you really have nothing to do, please go to the entertainment room. There's still some time until the next space jump, and we'll be notified."

Pom-Pom's fierce expression made Liuge want to pet it roughly, but he thought better of it.

However, the next moment, Liuge's expression changed.

"Wait, what did you just say?"

"Passenger Liuge, if you have nothing to do, please go to the entertainment room!"

Pom-Pom rolled its eyes at Liuge and continued cleaning the area it had just tidied.

Liuge heard clearly this time and froze on the spot.

"No, there's an entertainment room on the train?!!!!"

"Yes!"

Himeko rested her fair thighs on her knees, elegantly sipping her coffee.

"No, why didn't anyone tell me!"

"You didn't ask either. I thought you liked drinking coffee and watching the universe scenery like me."

Himeko put down her coffee with a sigh.

"..."

This left Liuge completely speechless.

He had always thought that all entertainment activities had to be purchased by himself.

Just like March 7th liked taking photos, so she set up a photo wall in her room, and like Dan Heng, who organized knowledge, so he directly lived in the library.

In the end, you're telling me I don't need to prepare any entertainment because the train already has it?

Damn it!

Liuge walked towards the rear carriage with a resentful expression, and Himeko silently watched him leave.

A minute later, Liuge poked his head out from the carriage door.

"Sister Himeko, where is the entertainment room?"

Hearing this, Himeko chuckled, pointed to the left, indicating he had gone the wrong way.

Then she watched as Liuge walked towards the entertainment room with an embarrassed expression.

At this moment, Liuge arrived at the entertainment room. The moment he opened the door, he was stunned.

Calling this place an entertainment room was an understatement; it was more like an entire carriage dedicated to entertainment.

There was an area for two and a half days of practice, where one could happily lift weights, or dive into a pile of game discs and cartridges. What surprised Liuge even more was the existence of virtual reality games.

Seeing this, Liuge knew his entertainment had arrived.

For the next few days, Liuge threw himself into virtual reality games, experiencing the immersive virtual worlds.

Racing games, fighting games, adventure games – he played almost all of them.

But the only thing that bothered him was that no matter which game he entered, he always encountered a player whose avatar was outlined by a wolf head phantom.

This guy was terrible at games, not to mention he loved to brag.

He'd say things like how he could easily beat Liuge, but in reality, it was always him who got beaten.

For the next four days, Liuge was so annoyed by that player that he switched games almost every hour. Yet, within five minutes of switching games, Liuge would see the same terrible player loitering around him, even constantly challenging him.

In short, it was incredibly irritating.

It seemed after being constantly defeated by Liuge, this player didn't show up for the next two days. Instead, a new, incredibly skilled player appeared by Liuge's side.

No matter the game, this new player consistently outperformed Liuge, even breaking several high scores. This left Liuge feeling very frustrated.

Then, during an FPS game, when that player sniped Liuge through a wall right at the spawn point, he finally understood why this person was so good.

"You damn cheater! You used hacks!"

As if realizing his cheating had been discovered, that player disappeared from Liuge's vicinity. Instead, the original noob player reappeared.

This instantly gave Liuge the thought that beating up noobs was much more satisfying.

But Liuge wasn't stupid. Combining the noob's disappearance, the hacker's appearance and subsequent disappearance, and the timing of the noob's return, Liuge reached a conclusion!

The hacker was this noob player!!!!

Thinking this, Liuge was so angry he directly messaged the player.

[Your Gege: You damn cheater! You used your alt account to hack against me!]

[Smash! Shatter! Bravo!: How dare you slander me out of thin air! I haven't been online for days!]

[Your Gege: You won't admit it, huh! Do you have the guts to face me in a fair match!]
