A Person in Honkai: Star Rail, a Healer Chapter 9

That feeling of teaching a brat a lesson!

Too bad fantasy is just fantasy, can't do it.

Sigh.

Speaking of which...

Ever since her last contact with Lin Nai, Kafka said Elio seemed unable to see his own future clearly anymore.

She said something had changed.

But he could vaguely make out a bit of it, and it was that things were changing for the better.

Silver Wolf didn't know the specifics either.

But oh well.

Compared to that so-called future, the current game was more important, right?

So.

Silver Wolf decided not to think about it too much.

And prepared to give Lin Nai a little taste of the genius gamer's shock!

Let Lin Nai see.

What a genius hacker! (Note: Hacker, not player)

Lin Nai: 6

Silver Wolf: You serious? You ain't gonna play?

Chapter 8 · The Past is the Past, the Present is the Present

Inside a very punk-style room.

Various game merchandise were neatly arranged in cabinets, and the walls were adorned with graffiti that matched the owner's preferences.

The room wasn't exactly bright.

Only neon lights provided illumination.

In front of a screen, a girl with a gray spiral ponytail that drooped to the tip of her hair gripped a controller, leaning lazily against a soft sofa.

After accidentally smashing the table to pieces, she had moved to a different spot.

The girl hummed an unknown song softly, crossed her legs, and one of her fair, tender feet, clad in fishnet stockings, hooked the recently removed sneakers and swayed gently.

Silver Wolf.

A master hacker.

She viewed the universe as a large-scale immersive simulation game, playing within it.

She was a member of the Stellaron Hunters.

Of course.

Most importantly, Silver Wolf was adept at all sorts of games!

She got the hang of them very quickly.

In just a few minutes.

She started crushing Lin Nai.

"Hahaha, Lin Nai, is this all you've got? Oh my, how does that saying go? Trash."

「Shut up, I haven't even used my full power yet!」

"Oh, yes, yes, yes."

Silver Wolf replied perfunctorily. Lin Nai's mouth was even tougher than that famous pancake.

At times like this, a perfunctory response was all that was needed.

However...

When the score reached 0:2.

Things took a slight... unexpected turn.

「Mighty Action X!」

Hearing the strange sound effect, Silver Wolf froze for a moment.

This didn't sound like a game sound, did it?

What the hell was that noise?

Soon.

Silver Wolf realized something was wrong.

The character Lin Nai was controlling suddenly started showing off.

Smooth combos.

Killing with a sliver of health.

Lin Nai's score surpassed hers in just a few moves.

Silver Wolf: ???

"No way! You're hacking, right?! Is that even possible for you to pull off?"

As a genius hacker, Silver Wolf felt her skills were being threatened.

Moreover.

This was clearly not an operation Lin Nai could perform!

That guy sometimes even bumped into walls when he flashed!

Having played games together for so many years, Silver Wolf was sure no one understood Lin Nai's gaming better than she did!

Was this operation really from him?

It just didn't seem like something that guy could do!

"What are you talking about?! Just because I didn't get caught means I'm hacking?!"

Lin Nai: What era is this? Still stuck on traditional cheating.

Lin Nai, on the other end of the phone, slammed the table in protest. "You're slandering me! You're slandering me!"

"Silver Wolf! You need to understand! The past is the past, and the present is the present. If you're bad, you should just... Huh? Why did you go offline?"

"I'm hacking your computer to see if you're cheating."

As soon as she noticed something was off, Silver Wolf had already rushed to her computer. Now, her small hands, clad in black fingerless gloves, were already at work.

For some reason.

Silver Wolf had remotely accessed Lin Nai's computer before, so she had installed a tiny backdoor.

She easily hacked in.

Lin Nai could only release the keyboard with both hands and utter a single word, "6," in response to Silver Wolf's actions.

"By the way, what's this file called 'Study Study' on your desktop? What is that?" Silver Wolf asked, raising an eyebrow curiously.

"...There's nothing."

"Oh? I don't believe you~"

Although the voice on the other end of the phone tried to remain calm.

Silver Wolf could still detect the guilt.

Silver Wolf, as if she had found an interesting toy, licked her lips and immediately hung up the call with Lin Nai!

Hehehe!

As long as she opened this folder, she would have leverage over Lin Nai!

Then, wouldn't she be able to control that guy however she pleased?

Just thinking about it made Silver Wolf feel incredibly excited!

The extreme fantasy made Silver Wolf even more thrilled; she couldn't hold back any longer!

Since Lin Nai's secret was right in front of her, why shouldn't she be even bolder?

With that thought, Silver Wolf sent Lin Nai a mocking emoji.

His secret! It was about to be hers!

Impatiently, Silver Wolf rubbed her hands together:

"Alright, let me see what kind of unspeakable things you've stored."

She quickly clicked open the folder.

She found another folder inside, named 'Don't Look,' sitting there all alone.

The folder looked ordinary, but Silver Wolf seemed to see a dazzling light!

Was this just a normal file?

No.

It wasn't!

It symbolized Lin Nai's secret, it symbolized her victory!

The words 'Don't Look' were like a treasure chest attracting travelers, or a trash can attracting pioneers.

This file!

It was attracting her!!

So...

Silver Wolf decisively clicked on it, only to find that it required a password.

None of these were difficult for the hacker, Silver Wolf. She handled them with ease.

"The password is... 114514? What kind of weird password is that."

At this moment, Silver Wolf felt that things were a bit strange. So, would she still choose to continue?

Of course.

She would.

She was a super hacker who viewed the universe as a game, and nothing could scare her!

Charge!

Silver Wolf resolutely clicked on the folder.

Until...

Silver Wolf discovered a video inside.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Silver Wolf clicked on the video.

"Da-da-da-da~"

"Never gonna give you up~"
