Honkai: Star Rail: I Developed the Star Rail Mobile Game at the Company Chapter 45

You remember what I said—I'll be waiting for you in Simulated Universe World 6!

Do you dare to go head-to-head with me?"

Since Herta had blocked Silver Wolf again and activated the Network Firewall, Silver Wolf couldn't contact her directly for the time being, so she had to issue her challenge through a video online.

The Spectators watching this scene all got excited!

Stellaron Hunter Silver Wolf openly challenging Genius Club member Ms. Herta—this was way too entertaining!

Not only did Silver Wolf's fans and Ms. Herta's Fan Club join in, but a huge crowd of Trolls also swarmed in, mixing into the chaos just to watch the fun!

The audience, with their mixed allegiances, flooded the comments with discussions.

"Front row seats for sale—snacks, fruit, Sushiren!"

"Wolf Cub is so cute!"

"What's going on? Silver Wolf is challenging Herta?"

"Looks like it's because Ms. Herta's First Clear Record was mostly luck—Silver Wolf isn't happy about it!"

"Which means Herta just got lucky. If she kept challenging World 6, our Wolf Cub would definitely be the first clear!"

"Based on my research, that Madame Ruan Mei involved in the event is also a Genius Club member and one of the founders of the Simulated Universe. She and Herta definitely colluded—I demand an official investigation!"

"Hard to say. With the Genius Club's power, they might have secretly bought it from the officials!"

"What? So it really was cheating? I've run the Simulated Universe hundreds of times and never encountered that event!"

"Oh come on, can you call what Ms. Herta did cheating? She developed the Simulated Universe herself—how can you slander her innocence out of nowhere!"

"Genius stuff—can you call that cheating? Fine-tuning, it's just fine-tuning!"

"Give it a rest. You're all just jealous of our great Ms. Herta. A clear is a clear—why are some people still making a fuss?"

"Exactly! What's Silver Wolf's First Clear Record compared to our Ms. Herta's?"

"Stop with the useless talk. I'm asking you—does Herta dare to accept the challenge? Does she dare to go head-to-head with our Wolf Cub?"

"Wolf Cub, fly free! Love Wolf forever!"

Chapter 66: You Are A One A One

Online, because of Silver Wolf's video, things had completely blown up!

Fans from both sides started a full-on war in the comments section.

As for how many Trolls had sneaked in pretending to be fans—no one could tell.

And in reality.

Silver Wolf's actions in the video were undoubtedly the greatest provocation to Herta!

Herta's anger began to skyrocket, even causing her to lose connection with her puppet at one point, leaving Asta trembling on the sidelines—she had never seen Ms. Herta like this before!

Finally, Herta let out a cold laugh.

"You actually dared to post a video openly challenging me. Silver Wolf, this time, I'll make you lose so thoroughly you'll understand everything, and then I'll ban your Star Rail Account too!"

With that, Herta turned to Asta and said.

"Asta, come help me!"

"Ah, okay!"

While the Spectators online were still marveling at how fresh this drama was.

A response video featuring Herta herself ignited the battlefield once more!

In the scene, Ms. Herta's puppet was going off at the camera!

"Silver Wolf, is it?!

I'll tell you right now!

You are a one, a one... a member of the Trash Club!

With your luck, you'll never encounter Ruan Mei in the Simulated Universe in this lifetime!

Didn't you say you'd wait for me in Simulated Universe World 6?

I'm going to do a Live Simulated Universe on this account—do you dare to enter the livestream?!

Let everyone see the gap in strength between you and me!"

As soon as Herta's response video dropped, the Spectators felt the drama got even juicier!

"Wow, Ms. Herta really showed up!"

"Interesting, this is way too entertaining!"

"You dared to anger Ms. Herta—now the Stellaron Hunters' doom is here!"

"Going against our Ms. Herta—do you even have the strength for that?"

"Surrendering is still an option, you know!"

"Remember to show your belly when you apologize!"

"Holy crap, I gotta sit up and watch this!"

"Hoho, that's quite the big talk. Don't go secretly crying little pearls if you don't run into Ruan Mei along the way!"

"She'll strip you of all your dolls—gotta slap you hard in the face!"

Over on Silver Wolf's side, she naturally saw Herta's response video the moment it dropped.

"Hmph, instead of playing it cool and running away, she's closing the distance instead? Fine, bring it on!"

With that, Silver Wolf controlled her account to send a request to join the livestream, and Herta approved it instantly. The two of them appeared in the stream together!

Two popular in-game characters meeting like this—audiences couldn't help but exclaim: Oh my god, this is my favorite episode!

"You've got some nerve. You don't actually think you're lucky enough to run into another Ruan Mei event, do you? When everyone sees you fail later, don't go crying in secret!"

Silver Wolf struck first, unleashing a barrage of trash talk.

"Hmph, save that line for yourself. Dealing with a little brat like you is a piece of cake!"

After Herta fired back, both of them entered Simulated Universe World 6.

Unexpectedly, both chose The Hunt as their Path. Probably because they were gunning for the first clear, they both opted for the more efficient offensive Path!

Once the battle started, both fell silent, no more taunting or trash talk.

But don't think everything was as calm as the livestream showed. In places the audience couldn't see, a virtual war was raging!

Silver Wolf operated the game with one hand while rapidly typing Ether Code with the other, constantly locking onto the exact location of Herta's device!

Was the challenge against Herta just about the game?

You kidding?

Herta's decision to set up this livestream made it obvious—this challenge was an item battle!

Endless computing power began extracting useful information from the livestream and calculating. Since Silver Wolf knew Herta was on the space station, she was the first to reach the firewall Herta had set up for her!

A torrent of data surged across the network through infinite distances, relentlessly battering the firewall, trying to break through!

Looking at the reinforced defenses before her, Silver Wolf smirked contemptuously.

"This is what you're relying on? Herta, you didn't think this kind of trick could stop me, did you? I was just being polite before!"

With a few edits from Silver Wolf, her computing power transformed into a sharp spike that successfully breached Herta's security line!

But the next moment, another stream of data rushed toward her. After mixing with her invading data stream, Silver Wolf found she had lost control of it!

The security line she had broken through behind her was also instantly repaired!

"I knew you little brat would come. How about it? That [Disorderly Code] I specially made for you—I bet you can't move now, can you?"

Herta's projection slowly appeared beside her, speaking to Silver Wolf.

Silver Wolf frowned. She could still summon more computing power for backup, but breaking through the defenses again would take a while—after all, the same trick wouldn't work twice on Herta's security system.

And if the Simulated Universe went smoothly, the battle would be over in ten or twenty minutes.

It looked like this attack on Herta was a failure.

"So what? Just having a fair duel with you is enough. I don't believe you'll run into Ruan Mei again!"

"Fair duel? Hahaha!"

Herta laughed and continued.

"You've already made your move, but I haven't yet!"

Silver Wolf was startled, then received a notification that the security on her private account had been breached.

"How is that possible? You shouldn't know... the livestream!"

Silver Wolf was about to say something, but suddenly remembered she was also in the livestream—Herta could use it to track her!

"Hmph, did you think the genius Ms. Herta would let a little brat like you get under her skin?"

From the very start, Herta had planned to teach Silver Wolf a lesson. She lured Silver Wolf into the livestream step by step, got her to launch an attack, used the space station's home-field advantage and pre-set programs to drain her computing power, and finally aimed straight at her target!

"Little brat, it's not too late to surrender now! I, Herta, am beautiful and kind-hearted. If you make a video calling me 'Sister Herta' a few times, I might consider letting you off!"

Just as Herta was feeling smug, she noticed Silver Wolf had vanished from her side. She was about to think the kid was stubborn when something happened on the space station!

The entire Herta Space Station went dark, leaving only a few residual lights!

"Can't crack Herta's private account? Fine, I'll crack the space station instead!"

That's right—seeing the situation was unfavorable, Silver Wolf simply switched targets to the space station, using the most basic hacker tactic: cutting the power!

This would shut down the livestream too, eliminating her exposed weakness. Sure, some people might guess she pulled some tricks outside the game, but it was better than being at Herta's mercy.

The cooked duck flew away. The space station's power supply was restored immediately. Herta sighed softly—looks like she'd have to switch back from an item battle to a normal one.

What no one watching this showdown expected was that in that brief moment, someone else had already claimed the first clear!

"Huh? Clara doesn't know!"

And as time passed, Seele's gacha banner was about to end, meaning the Jing Yuan banner was coming!

Chapter 67 PV: Heaven and Earth as the Scale

The 20-day Seele gacha banner is about to end, the remaining time marked on the banner ticking away by the system hour!

And the players' emotions are growing more and more intense alongside it.

"Hurry hurry hurry, how does it feel like there's still a whole system hour before I can pull Jing Yuan!"

"Feels like this one system hour is about as agonizing as an Amber Era!"

"Wait, have you all already pulled Seele? Why so anxious? I just started and haven't gotten her yet!"

"Why even pull Seele anymore? Save for Jing Yuan and you're in for a treat!"

"Salute to the trailblazers still pulling Seele in version 1.0!"

"Speaking of which, Jing Yuan should still have one Character PV that hasn't been released, right?"

"One character gets a Galactic Odyssey, an Animated Short, and a Character PV—that's the treatment our General Jing Yuan deserves!"

The impatient players have long been discussing things in the official Animated Short released earlier.

And after this period of promotion and development, the game has completely spread across the Luofu Xianzhou!

Guinaifen, as a Star Rail streamer on the Luofu, has also ridden this wave of traffic to skyrocket in followers. Right now, she's streaming with Sushang, who managed to come by, both waiting for the Jing Yuan gacha.

"Family, today General Jing Yuan's gacha banner is going live! I wonder how many pulls everyone has saved up!"

"100 pulls! Gotta secure him for sure!"

"Damn, you can hold out that long? That must be all the launch rewards saved up, right?"

"2 pulls—one for Jing Yuan, one for his Light Cone—that's enough!"

"Doesn't matter, my wallet will handle it!"

Just as Guinaifen is greeting the viewers, she notices Sushang's expression looking a bit downcast, and quickly asks about it.
