Honkai: Star Rail: I Developed the Star Rail Mobile Game at the Company Chapter 33

[Only then can one endure the boundless rift of time]

Awaiting command, warp!

Warp engine engaged!

Execution sequence 01 recorded!

Execution sequence 03 recorded!

Execution sequence 14 recorded!

[If crossing the stars, escaping gravity, only then can we love]

[Sliding into infinite spacetime, no one answers, a silent sea]

[Through ages, only the stars bear witness to the journey]

[Crossing the cosmos, finally reaching the dim star's edge]

Warp jumps kept activating, eventually breaking down and stopping, but this couldn't stop Rocky's steps. No matter how much time it cost, he would find her in the end!

The song had reached its final part!

[That is a swaying sea of stars, unending and relentless, light-years away]

[Darkness lines up in the distance, silently witnessing this accident]

[Through ages, only the stars bear witness to the journey]

[Crossing the cosmos, finally reaching the dim star's edge]

On screen, Leslie turned in shock, as if she had seen a figure that shouldn't exist!

Rocky's final poem, "Goodbye Herta," slowly emerged, accompanied by two chibi figures standing on the same plane within a Möbius strip. The video ended!

Watching the video finish smoothly, its creator, A Leng, let out a long sigh.

From the moment he first saw this romantic side story in the game, he had wanted to make a song for it, to let more people know the story of Rocky and Leslie!

The video and vocals were put together with help from a few friends. At first, they were reluctant, until A Leng forced them to experience the story firsthand. Then everyone instantly turned into pure-love warriors, full of motivation!

That was how they managed to produce the video in just a few days!

The high-quality, perfectly timed visuals paired with the gentle, romantic song left every player in awe.

"Oh my god, the quality of this fan creation—are you sure it's not official?!"

"I thought this was a movie theme song!"

"So good! My ears are pregnant! I can't get enough of it on loop!"

"This... this is that side quest from Honkai: Star Rail!"

"It's 'To the Dim Star'—that quest left such a deep impression!"

"So romantic! Especially Rocky's line, 'I want to chase time!'"

"When they told him the truth, I thought he was going to give up!"

"I chose the Blue Lie in the end, but Rocky still set out to find Leslie!"

"I thought it would end in tragedy, but Rocky changed everything!"

"Rocky is a real man!"

"Wahhh, I was so moved back then, and now hearing this song makes me want to cry again!"

"The creators are incredibly talented! This song is so well written!"

"The Möbius strip in the video is such a detail! They'll definitely end up together!"

"A love that transcends time and space deserves to be remembered!"

"Thank you, Honkai: Star Rail, for letting me witness their story!"

"Go for it, Rocky!"

"He'll definitely succeed!"

"Remember to go to their wedding—we promised!"

"Fun fact: you can give the remaining translation records representing truth or lies to Bernard, and you'll get a 'Diamond and Rust' achievement!"

"Holy crap, I forgot to feed Pam, gotta go!"

Lin Guang watched as the fan creation's view count kept climbing, and even the system's game popularity began to accelerate because of it!

As expected, popularity really does come blowing in with the wind!

Chapter 48: Smashing Rocks on Your Chest—Dizziness Is Normal

Watching this fan creation made by players, Lin Guang felt a warmth in his heart, and at the same time noticed a blind spot!

This video wasn't tagged with the Creator Incentive Program!

Maybe they forgot, or something else—but that wouldn't do!

Only by seeing excellent fan works receive generous rewards can the entire community's creative atmosphere be driven forward!

With that thought, Lin Guang sent a message to the other party using the official account.

[Hello, Trailblazer, thank you for your love and support of Honkai: Star Rail. We've seen your work "To the Dim Star," and it's excellent, but it seems you haven't joined the Honkai: Star Rail Creator Incentive Program. If you forgot to add the tag, Pam can help you with that!]

A Leng had been scrolling through his own video creation, quietly chuckling to himself as more people watched it, when he suddenly received an official message from Honkai: Star Rail!

This unexpected official message made A Leng feel a bit honored, but also left him stunned.

Huh? Creator Incentive?

He'd been so busy with video creation these past few days that after finishing the video, he'd just submitted it without paying any attention to a Creator Incentive.

Since the officials had reached out to him, there couldn't be any problem!

[Sure, sure, thanks. I really didn't look closely.]

It's probably just some in-game items or merchandise as a reward, A Leng thought after replying, and then he saw the official had also left a comment under his video!

Honkai: Star Rail: [Thank you for your creation, Trailblazer! Go chase time, and may this journey lead you to the stars!]

Seeing the game's official comment under his video, that feeling of being recognized by the game's creators swelled in his heart, filling him with motivation!

The appearance of the game's official account in the comment section surprised everyone else too. Who knew the straight-laced officials would show up here? Were they doing a 24/7 high-intensity self-search?

"Wow, it's the game officials!"

"Is this a comment from Pam, haha!"

"Conductor, what are you doing here? Come home with me!"

"Master Ball, go!"

"A flying tackle!"

"--Anti-flying-tackle wall--"

"You'll give them an ending that transcends time, right!"

"Hurry up and make the follow-up story already!"

"What about the promised wedding? You have to let me be their bridesmaid!"

Leaving the lively comment section behind, Lin Guang started contacting the video platform, planning to buy some trending traffic for the video to boost its popularity.

Inside the Herta Space Station.

Asta also came across this video, but she hadn't done the related side quest yet. Seeing that Rocky was a researcher on the Herta Space Station, she asked Arlan to find him.

But when Arlan returned with the results of his investigation into Rocky, he found Lady Asta already in tears over someone else's tragic love story, with a huge pile of tissues beside her.

"Lady Asta, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do I need to call your medical fleet over!"

Seeing Asta's state, Arlan thought something had happened to her and spoke with some panic.

"I'm fine. Rocky must have already left the space station, right?"

Asta just wanted to know if the real Rocky was like the one in the game. After getting a positive answer, she once again marveled at the game's magic!

Even the story of an ordinary space station researcher could perfectly mirror reality!

And aboard the Star Rail Express.

After carefully watching the video several times, March 7th was already teary-eyed. She looked at Stelle beside her and said.

"Boo hoo, their love story is so touching. Stelle, can you ask Rocky for me? I really want to know how it ends!"

Hearing this, Stelle pulled out her phone and scrolled through it. She did have Rocky's contact info.

"So I'll ask?"

Seeing that Stelle actually had Rocky as a friend, March 7th started to hesitate.

"Ah, but what if the answer is that Rocky has already given up..."

"I'm sending it."

Without hesitation, Stelle typed a message asking about Rocky's recent situation. March 7th let out a strange yelp, her heart beginning to race with anxiety.

A long time passed, but no reply came.

"No reply. Maybe that's the best answer."

"Eh, why is no reply the best answer?"

Seeing March 7th's confused look, Stelle slowly began to explain.

"If there's no reply, maybe Rocky successfully entered the Stellar Quake zone too. So we might not get his message for a very long time."

Hearing this explanation, March 7th's expression brightened again.

"Yay, yay! They must be together by now!"

But Stelle's expression suddenly shifted, a sinister grin spreading across her face.

"Hehehe, or maybe Rocky already died in space during the warp jump!"

"What are you doing! Ouch!"

Hearing the commotion from the next room, Dan Heng, who was reading in the Think Tank, let out a helpless sigh and put on his headphones.

After a bit of roughhousing with March 7th, Himeko suddenly remembered that the next part of the story should be the Luofu Xianzhou!

When it came to her connections on the Luofu, the first thing that came to mind were her friends from the Ghostbusters Squad!

On the Luofu Xianzhou.

An orange-haired street performer was fiddling with her livestream equipment, leisurely raising a hammer toward the camera.

"Everyone—have you ever seen a girl smash a boulder on her chest?!"

In the livestream frame, besides Guinaifen, there was also Sushang lying off to the side, struggling to breathe with a stone slab pressed against her chest, stars spinning in her eyes!

"Little Gui, what are you doing? I joined the Cloud-to-Sea Guard for this kind of thing!"

Guinaifen gave a sly grin.

"Come on, Changshang, this is also helping people!"

"I'm not feeling any 'help' right now!"

Facing Sushang's protest, Guinaifen glanced at the livestream and muttered quietly.

"Aiya, I just started streaming on a new account, okay? Good Changshang, don't worry—the middle of this stone slab is already cut, it'll break easily. I'll treat you to a feast afterward!"

Sushang: "Didn't you gain a ton of followers from investigation commissions when we formed the Ghostbusters Squad? Why switch accounts again?"

Guinaifen: "Aiya, that's different. That was the result of the whole Ghostbusters Squad working together. How could I privately use that account to stream for money? If Himeko and HuoHuo found out, my crimes would be too numerous to record!"

"That's not how you use 'too numerous to record'!"

Seeing no way to refuse, the shadow of Guinaifen's hammer slowly loomed above. Sushang couldn't help but swallow, her breathing turning heavy as the girl began to pray.

"Relax, feeling dizzy is normal!"

"My life is over!"

"Cheeeeers—!"
