Honkai: Star Rail: I Developed the Star Rail Mobile Game at the Corporation

Honkai: Star Rail: I Develop the Star Rail Mobile Game at the IPC

Author: Wan Hao Ya

Introduction: [No Female Lead + No CP + Game Development + Protagonist as Behind-the-Scenes Tool]

Lin Guang transmigrated into the world of Honkai: Star Rail.

He obtained the God-tier Mobile Game Development System and successfully developed the mobile game Honkai: Star Rail!

When the Stellaron Hunter Kafka, with a bounty of 10.899 billion, appeared on the limited banner, everyone was shocked!

"Holy crap, brothers, my wallet is topping up on its own!"

"I have no choice but to pull now!"

When Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae parted the sea with a single finger in the EP Water Dragon Chant!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! When is the Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae banner dropping!"

"Tear—the heart—liberate~~~"

When Dr. Ratio was given away for free during the Preview Program.

"Father! Is it true, Father!"

And when Firefly was pierced through the heart in the Penacony version.

The plot cut off right there, and the players went insane!

Chapter 1: Server Launch! Honkai: Star Rail

(Brain storage area: I will pay more attention to the number of game users in the interstellar universe in the future! Hope everyone enjoys reading! (?o 3 o?)/)

Belobog, headquarters of the Interastral Peace Corporation.

Having worked overtime for a month straight, Lin Guang was incredibly haggard; the look on his face was enough to drain the life force out of any passing ghost.

This is unbearable. This godforsaken Market Development Department is no place for a human to stay.

Originally, he was just a Star Rail entertainment streamer, busy farming the Deadly Drip set for his Acheron waifu.

He had just rolled a crit damage body piece with four substats, thinking he could finally escape the relic mines. After maxing it out, the starting flat defense stat sent him straight into the game.

Fortunately, his identity was that of a team leader in the Traditional Projects Department of the Interastral Peace Corporation, which was just perfect for starting a peaceful life of retirement.

But only a few days later, he was transferred to the Market Development Department.

They called it a temporary reinforcement, but a month had passed, and there wasn't even a shadow of a transfer back.

If this continued, he feared he would be squeezed dry by the corporation and become nothing more than a consumable for the King of Amber's great cause of wall-building.

"Damn it, how come other transmigrators get systems, and I just end up as a laborer? Am I some kind of Chosen Laborer?"

"Host's resentment detected, system activating..."

A mysterious and cold electronic synthesized voice suddenly sounded.

"Congratulations to the host for activating the [God-tier Mobile Game Development System]!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining an initial game program package!"

The crisp and pleasant system notification tone lingered in his ears like celestial music. Lin Guang felt his entire body relax; this was the treatment a protagonist in a web novel should have!

He calmed his inner excitement and began to carefully study the functions of the system.

This God-tier Mobile Game Development System required him to launch the completed mobile game and then earn game points based on the number of players, time spent online, amount of money spent, and level of discussion.

The earned game points could be used for game updates and development, as well as for purchasing items and drawing prizes in the shop.

After some understanding, Lin Guang opened the initial gift package provided by the system.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the initial version program of the mobile game Honkai: Star Rail!"

"Congratulations on activating the official Honkai: Star Rail account!"

"What the? Star Rail?"

Lin Guang was stunned. He was going to make the Star Rail mobile game in the world of Star Rail?

Silver Wolf pulling max-eidolon Kafka, Blade pulling Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae?

The corners of Lin Guang's mouth curled up. Interesting, this was going to be fun!

Moreover, in the world of Star Rail, everyone had a mobile phone, and the population was beyond imagination.

Just as Lin Guang was planning to launch the game, he suddenly thought of a key problem: would the corporation trace the game back to him via its IP after it went live?

Given the performance-first nature of the people in the corporation, he feared they would lock him in a dark room and interrogate him mercilessly.

Thinking of this, Lin Guang looked at the official account provided by the system. The account avatar was the same as the real-life official one—a big head of March 7th—and there was a buff icon underneath.

[Account IP information has been encrypted; private account information cannot be queried by any means!]

An encrypted account?

With this, he could launch the game through this official account without worrying about his real-world identity being exposed.

Thus, Lin Guang launched the game to the application store through the account, and information related to the game also appeared on the system panel.

Game Title: Honkai: Star Rail

Game Version: 1.0

Registered Users: 0

Current Online Users: 0

Game Discussion Rating: 0

Quite some time had passed since the game went live, yet the user count and discussion rating remained at zero. To Lin Guang, however, this was perfectly normal.

In this interstellar universe, without any advertising, pre-launch hype, or traffic support, a newly released mobile game was like tossing a grain of sand into the vast ocean.

And so, Lin Guang decided: I'll buy my way onto the charts!

Leveraging his internal position at the company, Lin Guang found a junior supervisor in charge of promotion within the company's main group. After noting down the contact information, he used the official game account to send a request.

The application was approved immediately. The other party, named Yan Shi, was a P37-level promotion supervisor at the Interastral Peace Entertainment Corporation. A message that looked like an automated response was sent to Lin Guang instantly.

"Thank you for your trust! For paid promotion, please specify your budget, product type, and launch window. Interastral Peace Entertainment will ensure your product's promotion sails smoothly!"

Lin Guang looked at the mere 200,000 Credits in his pocket and felt a pang of heartache as he transferred the entire sum to the official account!

He only had himself to blame; whenever he had a little extra cash, he liked to squander it, and most of his Credits were currently tied up in the interstellar stock market. This was all he had left!

But as long as his game's promotion went well, this small amount of Credits was just a drop in the bucket!

With that, Lin Guang began to communicate with the other party using the official account.

"200,000 Credits. Mobile game promotion. Now."

On the other end, seeing a new order come in, Yan Shi set aside his work and replied.

"Understood, boss. Based on current game chart rates, I can arrange for your game to be featured, platform advertisements..."

Various promotional resources and their durations were laid out before Lin Guang. He selected a few he deemed suitable and made the payment.

Yan Shi was somewhat surprised by the other party's decisiveness, having expected some haggling. After arranging the promotional work, he checked the client's account, but unfortunately, there was only a blank homepage interface; nothing could be discerned.

As the promotional resources were injected, people gradually began to notice this newly emerged mobile game IP.

Lao Mu was a streamer under the Interastral Peace Entertainment Corporation. He usually just streamed Yuan Nong Zhou and had accumulated quite a few fans, making him somewhat well-known.

This time, Lao Mu had received a promotional task assigned by his superiors, requiring him to play a newly released mobile game for three hours.

"Brothers, I just received internal news that a newly launched mobile game seems pretty good. I'll go ahead and test it out for everyone!"

Seeing Lao Mu suddenly decide to stream a new game, the audience was a bit curious.

"What internal news? Isn't this just a task from your master?"

"It's possible. I've seen all the mobile game promos lately; nothing interesting."

"Can you even do it, streamer? Based on your past recommendations, you're basically King Chishi!"

Seeing the barrage of negative comments, Lao Mu had no choice but to pretend he didn't see them. After all, the games he had promoted in the past were indeed quite trashy.

But he was a streamer! A professional one at that!

The game was available on both PC and mobile. Seeing that he could stream it on his computer, Lao Mu naturally chose the PC version.

After the game finished downloading, Lao Mu clicked to launch it. The first thing that greeted his eyes were the large characters [Honkai: Star Rail], followed by a train roaming through the galaxy.

Lao Mu began to showcase his professional skills.

"Wow, look at this opening animation! This light! This train! It looks just like the universe-famous Star Rail Express!"

The viewers in the chat thought Lao Mu was about to start his awkward flattery again, but some hardcore viewers who knew their stuff spotted something suspicious.

"This really looks like the Star Rail Express. I've ridden the Nameless's train across galaxies before; I can't be wrong!"

"Damn, impressive! You can even tell that?"

"Looks like our little Mu has finally made something of himself!"

Seeing the positive effect, Lao Mu registered an account and prepared to start the game. After the registration was complete, the train on the waiting screen actually started moving!

The train, which had been displayed horizontally, surged forward, leaving the audience with a low-angle view of the train head sprinting toward them.

"There's something here. This animation effect is at least better than a college student's graduation project!"

"And this music! If you listen closely, it's definitely not something those trashy reskinned games can compare to!"

"Damn, did Lao Mu actually get his hands on something good for once?"

"Streamer, start the game! I'm getting curious about the quality of this game!"

Lao Mu didn't dawdle and clicked the screen to enter the game.

"Star Rail, launch!"

Chapter 2: The Streamer Got Something Good

A flash of white light passed, and the game officially began.

The first scene of the game was a massive white space station amidst the starry sky.

Melodious Canon music began to play, and a giant meteorite drifted slowly across the lens. The scene shifted.

A woman in a white shirt danced elegantly to the melody, as if playing a violin that existed only in her hands.

As the rhythm of the music pulsed, a massive number of Anti-Matter Legion warriors began to appear aboard the Space Station.

The master control room fell into immediate chaos, with the station lead Asta directing the staff to guide the evacuation of the researchers.

The security personnel responsible for defense had already begun to clash with the invading Anti-Matter Legion.

Amidst the flashing blades and shadows, Dan Heng and March 7th wove through the attacks of the Anti-Matter Legion to reach a bulkhead door.

Suddenly, a brilliant light erupted from within the chamber, and March 7th hurriedly shouted, "Watch out!" as the shockwave from the explosion caused the entire Space Station to shudder.

The lights in the chamber where Kafka stood were also affected by the blast, plunging the room into darkness.

"It seems I've come at a bad time."

Kafka cast her gaze upward, and a virtual screen immediately unfolded before her eyes, displaying a white wolf emblem with green patterns, from which a girl's cold response emanated.

"No, I think you've arrived at the perfect time."

"System time: 23:47:15. You are right on time, Kafka."

Once her face was clearly visible, the chat stream erupted in reaction.

"My god, that's the Anti-Matter Legion! There's actually an Anti-Matter Legion in reality!"

"Didn't you hear her name? It's Kafka!"

"Stellaron Hunter Kafka? The one with a 10.8 billion bounty from the IPC?"

"Who else could it be? This game doesn't just have the Anti-Matter Legion, they even made the Stellaron Hunters! Nice, very nice!"

"Interesting, this is too much fun!"

"Can we play as this character? Please don't just make her an NPC; this character model is really hitting my preferences!"
