Honkai: Star Rail: I'm Developing Honkai: Star Rail Mobile Game at the Company Chapter 35

Upon reaching Trailblaze Level 30, Lao Mu first ascended his Equilibrium Level to 2, then leveled his character and Light Cone to 50, and immediately followed the Main Story quest back onto the train!

Viewers began to flock into the livestream; at this stage, aside from the big spenders who bought out their daily energy, ordinary players would still need a few more days to unlock the new main story!

Players were all hooked by the prospect of the upcoming new map, and at this moment, they were just waiting for the streamer to show everyone what was going on!

In the cutscene, Pam was broadcasting the news that they were about to depart from Jarilo-VI.

However, the very next moment, the screen went black, and several large characters appeared!

Luofu Xianzhou · Prison of Imprisonment!

"? Damn, what's going on!"

"It's here, it's here! We really came to the Luofu!"

"Prison play? I like it!"

The sound of footsteps echoed in the dim environment.

On screen, the view showed footsteps moving forward slowly as a long-haired man was escorted by two Cloud-to-Sea Guard soldiers holding weapons.

On the platform, General Jing Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, eyes slightly closed, with the young genius swordsman Yanqing by his side!

"Is it this intense? Our General Jing Yuan is here right from the start!"

"And Yanqing, my trailblazing war god!"

"Holy crap, that Cloud-to-Sea Guard on the left in charge of the escort is me! How did they film me too? [Facepalm sweating emoji]"

"Damn, what a coincidence, I'm the one on the right! [Facepalm sweating emoji]"

"Yeah, I was on the scene too; I'm that guandao! [Facepalm sweating emoji]"

"I'm actually dying, you guys are absolute legends!"

Returning to the plot.

Jing Yuan: [Yanqing, watch this person closely in a moment.]

Yanqing acknowledged the order, his gaze sweeping over the man whose hands were bound below the stage.

[...Do you remember me?]

Jing Yuan asked calmly. Upon receiving a positive answer, he only saw the man reveal a sinister smile and continue to speak to himself.

[Of the five people, there are three prices...]

Hearing this, Jing Yuan's brows furrowed, and Yanqing placed his hand on his sword, as if the man might break free from his restraints at any moment.

The next moment, the camera zoomed in on the man, his blood-red pupils staring forward as he revealed a chilling smile.

[Jing Yuan, you are not one of them.]

Upon seeing his face, countless viewers exclaimed out loud!

"It's him, Blade of the Stellaron Hunters!"

"The IPC bounty is 8.13 billion!"

"Kafka and Silver Wolf have already appeared; of course Blade wouldn't be far behind!"

"What does he mean by what he said? Is it related to the future plot?"

"What a grand entrance; of the five people, there are three designated drivers!"

"What the hell, 'three designated drivers'!"

"What a sunny smile! Such a bright and cheerful boy!"

"Hmph, those who violate the borders of the Luofu shall be crushed by Me!"

The scene shifted again. Blade's words seemed to have echoed into Dan Heng's dream. At this moment, Dan Heng was drenched in cold sweat, as if entangled by a nightmare. His expression was incredibly painful until he suddenly sat up, only to realize it was just a dream!

This plot point also led the viewers to start speculating!

"Wow, it looks like this story is related to Dan Heng. What kind of relationship does he have with Blade!"

"You can actually guess that it's related to the Xianzhou just by looking at Dan Heng's outfit. I didn't expect to reach Dan Heng's story so soon!"

"Dreaming about him? Boldly guessing there's some 'special' chemistry between them!"

"But that's not right, Jing Yuan and Blade seem to know each other too!"

"A story between three people, wow~"

"Everything looks like romance to the eyes of a shipper! Ting Zhi!"

Although this segment of the plot was short, the information density was quite high!

Silver Wolf watched Blade on the game screen and sighed softly in amazement.

"Wow, it's Blade. As expected, he showed up too! I wonder if he'd be interested in his own game character!"

Ever since she experienced the joy of Honkai: Star Rail, Silver Wolf had been unable to stop, even creating several accounts—maxed out, low-spec, and free-to-play accounts, she had them all!

Not only that, she kept trying to get her fellow Stellaron Hunters to join the game, but Kafka was a casual player who only cared about the story, and Firefly had gone to Penacony according to the script!

As for Blade, she hadn't known where he ran off to these past few days; he hadn't returned calls or answered texts. To this day, she didn't even have anyone to brag to in real life about her Simulated Universe world-first record!

As for her acquaintances online, she had already spammed them all; Herta had even blocked her!

Although she could have hacked into their accounts to unblock herself, Silver Wolf thought of the 76 game accounts she had already been banned from that remained suspended to this day, and she decided to let it go.

Meanwhile, Kafka was idly tinkering with her nail polish on the side.

"Compared to him, A Ren is likely more concerned about that Nameless one on the Express named Dan Heng."

Hearing Kafka put it that way, Silver Wolf remembered something; she promptly sent A Ren a screenshot from the previous plot where Dan Heng was about to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the protagonist!

Before long, she received a reply from A Ren!

"...He does that, too?"

Dan Heng: This is a Trial

Aboard the Star Rail Express.

March 7th watched as Dan Heng began to appear in the main story, thinking that it was finally time for Dan Heng to take the stage in the upcoming plot!

Although she had seen Dan Heng's dragon form back on the Luofu, there was clearly much more to the story behind it!

It was just that Dan Heng didn't seem to like mentioning his past, but as a curious soul, March 7th really wanted to know what had happened between Dan Heng and his old acquaintances!

With the game plot covering this, she hoped it would give Dan Heng a 360-degree, unobstructed view!

March 7th glanced toward the nearby Think Tank and whispered to Stelle, specifically making sure the neighbors couldn't hear.

"Should we tell him that things about Dan Heng's past might appear in the game's plot?"

Stelle also seemed a bit hesitant.

"Uh... I don't think so. It looks like Dan Heng doesn't like talking about the past. The kid is grown up; let's give him some privacy and just pretend we don't know."

"Mm-hmm, we'll just secretly watch his gossip!"

Just as the two were discussing this, Dan Heng's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"March 7th, Stelle, you're in there, right?"

"Eek--"

The two, feeling inexplicably guilty, huddled together in the room. After a long moment, Dan Heng entered, looking speechless at the two sitting so upright and stiff, like children waiting to be scolded.

"Looking at your expressions, I assume something related to my past has appeared in the Honkai: Star Rail game."

March 7th: "Wow, as expected of the amazing Mr. Dan Heng! You could even calculate that; you're just too strong!"

Stelle: "Dan Heng, if you mind, we won't watch this part of the story!"

Seeing the two trying to butter him up, Dan Heng sighed helplessly.

"You don't need to worry about my feelings. Ever since the incident on the Xianzhou, I've come to understand a lot. Now, I, too, shall enter the world of Honkai: Star Rail!"

Hearing that Dan Heng intended to play Honkai: Star Rail, both were shocked.

"Ah, have you thought this through, Dan Heng?"

"Yeah, we really don't have to watch the plot; don't force yourself!"

Dan Heng shook his head.

"You aren't the only ones playing the game; doing that would just be burying one's head in the sand. Besides."

At this point, Dan Heng paused.

"This is a trial. I believe this is a trial to overcome the past. Only by conquering that naive past can a person truly grow."

As Dan Heng said this, an imperial aura seemed to suddenly emanate from him in the eyes of Stelle and March 7th!

"Why, why does it feel like Dan Heng's entire temperament is changing? Such a dazzling radiance!"

"Wow, how intense!"

Watching the exaggerated reactions of the two before him, Dan Heng felt as if he were casting pearls before swine.

"In short, that's that. You don't need to hold back on my account."

Aboard the Luofu Xianzhou, Jing Yuan watched the scene of his meeting with A Ren in the Prison of Imprisonment, mentally confirming the general outline of the plot—it must be the previous Stellar Core Incident!

Yanqing, standing to the side, looked at the game screen and then at Jing Yuan, appearing as if he had something to say but was holding back.

"Yanqing, between you and me, feel free to speak your mind."

Jing Yuan said, having noticed Yanqing's hesitation.

Being right beside the answer to the plot's riddles, Yanqing was naturally quite curious.

"General, I wanted to ask this earlier: what exactly is the relationship between this A Ren and you? And Dan Heng on the Star Rail Express seems to be the previous Abundance Dragon Lord of the Abundance Dragon Clan—why have they both become wanted criminals of the Xianzhou now?"

After hearing Yanqing's question, Jing Yuan looked into the distance as memories began to flood his mind, his gaze turning somewhat weary.

"They... they were once friends of this General. Because of some mistakes they made—though their intentions were good—we all ended up parting on bad terms."

Yanqing could tell Jing Yuan wasn't going into detail, so he didn't press further, though Jing Yuan simply gave a carefree smile.

"The stories of the past are long and drawn out. I have long since looked past them; perhaps you will be able to see the full picture more clearly through this game's plot."

Hearing this, Yanqing became even more curious about what was to come.

Returning to the narrative.

The scene cuts back to the Star Rail Express, where the crew has begun their route meeting after departing from Jarilo-VI, currently deciding on their next destination.

They had originally planned to attend the festivities on Penacony as invited, but just as Pam was about to make the announcement, a projection suddenly appeared!

[Long time no see, everyone on the Star Rail Express. I am Kafka.]

The figure beneath the umbrella was none other than the Stellaron Hunter, Kafka!

The long-absent Kafka immediately captured everyone's attention!

"Wow! It's Kafka Mom!"

"It's been a while! The Stellaron Hunters are involved in this chapter too!"

"You won't grow taller if you open an umbrella indoors!"

Welt and Himeko were clearly highly vigilant regarding the intruding Kafka, as if the two sides had clashed before.

Himeko even turned away after a brief glance, leading March 7th—who noticed the detail upon rewatching—to exclaim over the nuance.

Kafka's projection strolled casually across the express.

[Ah, the timing is perfect. Everyone is here—it seems everyone is.]

Himeko: [A charming introduction is quite unnecessary, Stellaron Hunter.]

These two popular characters were having their first dialogue in the story, and given the situation, it was thick with tension, leaving the viewers inexplicably excited!

"Wuwuwu, they both look so good!"

"Himeko's expression is so murderous; it's the first time I've ever seen her like this!"

"They have similar builds, too! Charming older sisters are dancing all over my preferences!"

"Is this a custody battle!"
