Honkai: Star Rail: I Developed the Star Rail Mobile Game at the Company Chapter 39

"That voice—I can tell it's a tsundere type just from hearing it! Love it, love it!"

"Whoa, white stockings—now I have no choice but to top up!"

"Small, but also cute!"

Fu Xuan stated that using the Star Rail Express as bait to lure out the Stellaron Hunters was originally her own proposal.

Jing Yuan: "Hmm, thanks to Minister Fu's wisdom and foresight. I'll leave everything that follows to you as well."

Fu Xuan's words were startling.

"Hmph, then why don't you abdicate sooner?"

Daring to tell a Xianzhou General to abdicate early—that really startled the audience!

Even Qingque, who was slacking off on the main story somewhere on the Xianzhou, sighed.

"Ah, the Diviner Lord may be lacking in height, but she's truly bold!"

"Speaking of which, at the next Six Lords council, you should fulfill your promise to recommend me as the next General, shouldn't you..."

Hearing Fu Xuan's confident declaration, Jing Yuan only replied in a perfunctory tone.

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, alright, alright, I understand. I still have important matters. I'll leave everything to you from now on, Minister Fu."

The audience saw Jing Yuan treating her like a child and burst out laughing!

"As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it is!"

"The Diviner Lord is still too green in front of General Jing Yuan!"

"The sky cannot have two suns—in my heart, there is only one sun, General Jing Yuan!"

"Loy-al-ty!"

"These two... I ship them!"

"Hm? A divine pairing!"

Meanwhile, on the Luofu, Fu Xuan wanted to take this chance to press Jing Yuan further, but seeing his still serious expression, she set the matter aside for now.

In the story, the three members of the Train Crew, preparing to search for clues about Kafka with Tingyun, first wanted to report their safety to their companions on the train.

But the signal seemed to malfunction, and the scene shifted to Dan Heng's perspective.

Dan Heng, who originally planned not to set foot on the Xianzhou again, saw Blade's figure in Kafka's communication records and, sensing danger, decided to go to the Xianzhou as well.

After landing on the Xianzhou, he ran into Sushang and Luocha along the way.

Although players felt positively about this seemingly gentle Doctor Luo—since the trial showed he was a limited healer—

That familiar blond hair and face made Welt almost physically uncomfortable, and Jing Yuan's gaze turned icy, knowing that this man had brought the Stellar Core.

The three then traveled together into the Luofu. After a brief segment from Dan Heng's perspective, the story's viewpoint switched back.

After some discussion, Tingyun brought out a small Diting and decided to use it to search for clues about Kafka.

To test the Diting's abilities, Tingyun had it memorize her scent, then vanished in a flash.

The three Train Crew members then used the Diting to track Tingyun's scent, but something strange happened during the process!

Tingyun's scent disappeared for a period of time!

Jing Yuan keenly noticed this. He felt he had grasped a thread of a clue!

How had Phantylia, the Great-Eradicator and Nanook's Emanator, managed to quietly replace Tingyun and infiltrate the Xianzhou?

And in the midst of all this, was there any collusion from forces within the Xianzhou itself?

A flash of cold killing intent passed through the depths of his eyes. Jing Yuan's gaze grew profound.

"This debt hasn't been settled yet!"

Chapter 57: Two Sentences That Made March 7th Feel Guilty for Life

The story reached the point where Tingyun tested the Diting's abilities, then her scent suddenly vanished. After some searching and finding Tingyun, no visible trace of the symbolic scent remained on her!

Even when they arrived at Star-Returning Port for introductions, March 7th sensed something was off.

"Miss Tingyun, you don't seem worried about the Xianzhou at all?"

But Tingyun's reply was equally watertight. In business, one must not show emotions on the face, and for a Xianzhou person, a Stellar Core eruption was indeed no big deal.

Later, when they tracked Kafka down through the Diting and faced the Cloud-to-Sea Guard soldiers who hadn't yet fallen into Mara-Struck but were controlled by Kafka's Word of Power, Tingyun's reaction was quite genuine.

"These Cloud-to-Sea Guard haven't fallen into Mara-Struck... What did you do to them?"

Her indignant tone was full of emotion. If Phantylia were impersonating her, there would be no need for such an act.

Watching with curiosity, the audience saw Kafka in the story leading them around like a cat toying with its prey, until she finally stopped and waited in place.

Kafka: "Welcome, everyone from the Train Crew. You've caught me."

Welt: "Show your hand, Kafka. Our coming here must have been part of your plan."

Kafka: "Not a plan. It's... We interfered in countless future possibilities and turned the best one into reality."

These words pointed directly at the leader of the Stellaron Hunters, the one called the slave of fate—Elio.

Having the ability to foresee future possibilities—or perhaps it's more of a curse.

A certain Tomato Person, nicknamed Ben Yizhigai!

And after negotiations with Kafka, a fight was ultimately unavoidable!

BOSS Kafka appeared before the players for the first time, showcasing her unique mechanic—Word of Power!

It forces a designated ally on our side to fall into a [Domination] state with high probability, advancing their action and making them immediately and randomly attack one other ally target.

This unique mechanic earned praise from Silver Wolf.

"Very much your style, huh. Didn't expect even your Word of Power to be this clear. Makes me wonder if I'll have a BOSS form too—the mechanic would definitely be cool!"

Then Silver Wolf began fantasizing in her mind about what she'd be like as a boss, with things like health lock, revival, and summoning minions...

After a bout of fighting, Kafka raised her gun on the spot, looking like she was surrendering, but she muttered under her breath.

[Finally here.]

Kafka suddenly raised both guns and unleashed firepower into the sky. Yet as the bullets poured out, time seemed to freeze, leaving the bullets suspended in midair!

A small foot lightly tapped a bullet tip, like a dragonfly skimming water, stirring ripples through the air!

A purple silhouette appeared from the sky, slender hands gently brushing aside the surrounding bullets. Fu Xuan spoke calmly.

[A paltry trick. Every move you make was already within the scope of my divination.]

The scene shifted again. The firepower from Kafka's dual guns, after Fu Xuan's intervention, sent streams of sparks ricocheting across the ground, yet everyone caught in the middle emerged unscathed!

[Divination Department, Fu Xuan. The wanted criminal is now under my authority.]

Fu Xuan landed slowly from the air, drawing continuous gasps of admiration from the audience!

"Elegant, so elegant!"

"My god, that's Time Stop! She just brushed aside the bullets with her bare hands—how is that even possible!"

"This is the power of the esteemed Divination Head!"

"I've switched sides! This time, I support Lady Fu Xuan as the leader of the Luofu!"

Fu Xuan watched her own cool entrance in the game screen, unable to suppress a flicker of excitement in her heart, but she still crossed her arms, turned her head away, and let out a very cool "Hmph!"

The next part of the story had Fu Xuan taking over Kafka, preparing to use the Divination Department's exclusive Great Memory Restoration Technique to extract the information from Kafka's mouth.

As guests commissioned by the General, the Star Rail Express had the right to know the intelligence obtained from Kafka's interrogation. However, due to the Divination Department's privacy concerns, the Train Crew had to wait outside for a while.

And while wandering around Changlong waiting for news, they suddenly saw a Cloud-to-Sea Guard lying on a stretcher in the center of the square undergoing a mutation!

The guard clutched his head with both hands, seemingly in unbearable pain. Branches began sprouting from his body, and his entire form turned horrifying!

Just as this Mara-Struck was about to lash out and attack, a pair of small feet running quickly appeared in the scene!

[Everyone, step back!]

The tiny figure leaped into the air, spun around, and slammed her dragon tail into him, knocking him out cold!

[Hurry and make him drink this medicine, and keep him lying still.]

With horns on her head and a tail behind her, it was the little Dragon Girl, Bailu!

Her adorable appearance, combined with her precious survival attributes in the early game, made Bailu a highly popular five-star character. Many players kept rerolling accounts just to get her from the Beginner Banner!

"Ahhh! Finally got to see my precious Bailu! She's so cute!"

"Bao, hehe! My Bailu baby!"

"I am Lady Bailu's dog!"

"I've rerolled three times already, and I still don't have Bailu! Wuwuwu, Bailu, take me with you!"

"So cute, I'd—"

"Gate of Opening, Cloud-to-Sea Guard!"

"Fun fact: When the Abundance Dragon Clan reaches the end of their lifespan, they cocoon and undergo Nirvana, reverting to a juvenile form. So Bailu's age isn't an issue!"

"BYD, you learn this stuff pretty fast, huh!"

In the story, after knocking down one Mara-Struck, Bailu hadn't even reacted before she was surrounded by more soldiers turning into Mara-Struck. Fortunately, the Star stepped in to save her.

Bailu: "Thanks, big brother and big sister, for helping calm the patients down! That technique of yours is really impressive."

"Haha! Holy crap, 'heavy strike anesthesia'—I'm dying of laughter!"

"Patient not cooperating? Just keep beating them until they enter an anesthetized state!"

"Truly grasping the essence of the Analects!"

In the story, the Train Crew was very curious about this suddenly appearing little medic, wondering if she was some kid out playing house!

March 7th: "Where did this kid come from? Where's your dad?"

Bailu: "I don't have a dad."

March 7th: "Then where's your mom?"

Bailu: "I don't have a mom either."

Seeing March 7th scratching her head, the audience burst into laughter again!

"Ow, I can't take it, I'm really dying here! Hahaha!"

"Two sentences and March 7th will feel guilty for life!"

"Years later, one night, March 7th lies in her room on the train, staring at the starry sky outside the window, and can't help but slap herself hard again!"

"No weaknesses at all, practically a born forum warrior!"

Seeing March 7th's reaction, Bailu realized they thought she was a child, so she explained that the Abundance Dragon Clan reincarnates self-sufficiently and doesn't need any parents!

And after parting ways with Bailu, they entered a short segment of the Medicine Master's Legacy Questline and the Dan Heng Questline. Then, when returning to the main perspective, they received a message from the Divination Department!

[Everyone, the Diviner ordered us to wait for you]

[Counting on my fingers, you should be about here by now]

[There's urgent business at hand, can't get away]

Looking at the in-game message, Fu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had thought of something!

And somewhere, Qingque, who was slacking off, suddenly felt a chill run down her back, instantly breaking into a cold sweat!

"Oh no, why did they have to include this part too!"

Chapter 58: Don't Let Yourself Be Fooled by a Mature Big Sister

Watching the message sent to the protagonist in the story, Qingque, who had been slacking off, suddenly felt a chill down her spine!

"This message... why does it look so familiar..."

It seemed to be the message she had sent herself. If she remembered correctly, at that time she was...

Qingque didn't dare to think about what came next, but unfortunately, the story wouldn't stop because of that!
