"From now on, this place is Silver Wolf Plaza!"
"Ahhh, how is every single character more captivating than the last? My wallet really can't take it anymore!"
"Wuwuwu, Jing Yuan has already drained me dry. If they're going to release Silver Wolf too, can they at least put her after Luocha's banner?!"
"You there in the front—in the story trial, Luocha is a five-star survival healer. Have you already pulled Bailu or Gepard? Luocha is the real must-pull character, alright!"
"In the earlier story trial, Silver Wolf could even add weaknesses. That's clearly telling you she's a super meta-defining character—she's the real must-pull!"
"Stop talking already! The more you say, the more I want her!"
"Kids make choices; adults just swipe their cards!"
"Speaking of which, does version 1.1 have any main story? I haven't had my fill yet!"
Players excitedly left comments and discussions below, while on the other side...
Silver Wolf pointed at herself in the game's official announcement image, a hint of pride in her tone.
"Hmph, see? I told you I wasn't dreaming. The game officials personally invited me to record the version preview. I'm now a player who knows the content of the next update!"
That smug expression, plus the barely concealed curve of her lips, seemed to say: I've got insider info—come ask me!
Unfortunately, Kafka's focus was completely different from Silver Wolf's. She didn't notice Silver Wolf's expression at all, instead zeroing in on the other's ability to pull people's consciousness into dreams.
"Kafka? Hey, hey, hey—are you listening to me?"
Silver Wolf waved her hand in front of Kafka's face, snapping her back to reality.
"Oh, right—speaking of dreams, you need to go to Penacony again. Firefly is waiting for you at the usual spot."
The imagined scene of Kafka pestering her with questions didn't materialize. Silver Wolf pouted.
Fine, I'll just go find Firefly to cheer me on instead!
The perspective shifted to Penacony.
A silver-haired girl stood still, her dreamlike starry eyes carrying a faint smile as she quietly watched the bustle and splendor of the Star of Festivity.
Silver Wolf's holographic projection suddenly appeared beside her.
"Lavish and decadent—just like Apuseron. So? Does it match the dream you imagined?"
Seeing Silver Wolf's projection, Firefly let out a soft laugh.
"You've asked that before—when we first arrived here."
This time, Silver Wolf's main purpose was to cancel the pursuit order on Firefly within the Penacony System, allowing her to move freely—as long as she didn't provoke any guards who'd already seen the wanted poster.
After handling the business, Silver Wolf didn't cut the connection immediately. Instead, she brought up the Honkai: Star Rail game to Firefly.
Since the Penacony star system was still outside the game's coverage, and the content visible on the network varied by star system, normally even if someone used some method to bypass restrictions, the downloaded game wouldn't start due to network limitations.
But the game provided by the system didn't have that problem. As long as it could be downloaded, any star system or star domain could play it.
Silver Wolf began telling Firefly about the game's unique features and how her own character appeared in it.
Firefly played along perfectly, a angelic smile spreading across her face as she lightly clapped her hands together.
"Eh? There's actually such an interesting game? When I finish this script and come back, Silver Wolf, you have to show me the ropes!"
But Silver Wolf caught something off in her tone.
Why does she have to wait until the script is over to download it? Are you brushing me off?!
Silver Wolf's piercing gaze made Firefly feel a little uneasy.
"What... what is it, Silver Wolf? Is there something on my face?"
"This game—it's played from the perspective of Stelle, you know."
That single sentence hit like magic, instantly drawing Firefly's full attention.
"Really?! There's actually something so amazing? Then that means... I can see her experiences after joining the Star Rail Express!"
Firefly's sudden shift in attitude left Silver Wolf feeling utterly defeated.
Great, another one who just wants to watch the story. Doesn't anyone notice my appearance?
Meanwhile, in the Space Station...
Ms. Herta stared at the preview illustration of Silver Wolf in silence.
Tch. Why did it have to be her of all people?
Asta cautiously asked from the side, "Ms. Herta, then... are you going to pull on this Silver Wolf banner?"
Herta turned her head with a light hum.
"Pull? Of course I'll pull. How else would I find out where she's weak? After I pull, I'll tell everyone exactly where she's weak!"
Elsewhere in Penacony...
All the members of the Star Rail Express had disembarked onto the Hui Changshi. At that moment, Stelle was bent over, searching for Origami Birds with her rear in the air.
March 7th had an expression that said she wanted to call out for Stelle to come down quickly, mixed with a look of pretending not to know her.
Just then her phone suddenly vibrated, receiving a preview announcement post officially released.
"Is this... the 1.1 version preview, happening tonight!"
"Never expected it to be the version where Silver Wolf appears! No wonder she just sent me a message—I thought her account was hacked and blocked her!"
Seeing Stelle suddenly teleport right next to her, March 7th was startled into letting out a strange cry.
And time slowly ticked by. Under the anticipation of countless audience members, the scheduled livestream time for the preview program finally arrived.
Lin Guang watched the broadcast situation across surrounding star systems from inside the studio. Although when he'd shown the footage to partners for review, they were all somewhat shocked by the Stellaron Hunters appearing in it.
It's just that Lin Guang insisted they were just actors with similar voices, and since the Stellaron Hunters had already appeared in the game without the company doing anything about it, the program aired as scheduled.
As a beam of light shone down, Jimi, seated in the host's position, officially made his entrance!
Jimi: "I've long heard of the Xianzhou's great name. To meet a general of the Xianzhou Alliance today is truly my immense honor!"
Silver Wolf: "Ah, my turn?"
Silver Wolf's voice swiped across from the shadows. The spotlight moved to another guest's position, where chibi versions of General Jing Yuan and Yukong appeared.
Jing Yuan: "An honor, an honor. It's just that our guests don't seem to have all arrived yet."
Silver Wolf: "No helping it—the protagonist always shows up last!"
It had to be said Jimi was a seasoned host; even improvising on the spot under pressure was no problem at all.
Jimi: "No way, I'm looking at the guest list... Could it be! That infamous Stellaron Hunter is going to appear too?"
Chapter 73: The Room You Can't Leave Without Doing XX
When the highly anticipated preview program began, three chibi-style characters appeared before the audience, instantly sparking a wave of heated discussion.
"Wow, it's chibi Jing Yuan, too cute!"
"Look at the character beside him—it's Lady Yukong from the Xianzhou storyline!"
"And that big bird, I feel like I've heard that voice somewhere before!"
"It's Jimi! I've seen him on a show back home called Men and Women Charge Forward—my grandma loves watching it!"
"Wait, no way, are the guests they're inviting later all real people?"
"Surely not, they can't actually get a general of The Hunt to do a show, can they?"
"That's not the point—didn't you hear what the narrator just said and what they were talking about?"
"The guest list has a Stellaron Hunter—it can only be that one!"
"Wolf Cub! My Wolf Cub!"
Inside the preview program, Jing Yuan pointed out the guest still hidden in the shadows.
Jing Yuan: "It's just that our protagonist doesn't seem to have realized her voice has already given away her position."
Silver Wolf: "Hmm? When did they turn my mic on?"
Yukong: "Miss Silver Wolf, please show yourself."
Silver Wolf: "Well... fine, I guess this counts as a unique way for the protagonist to make an entrance."
Then the scene shifted, cutting into a PV.
[Fake identity information has been entered...]
A dark figure flashed by. Silver Wolf wore goggles, held a spray paint can, and calmly blew a bubble with her gum.
[This place is different from the Space Station earlier—this is solidly Genius Club territory.]
Spray paint left Silver Wolf's signature graffiti on the wall. After finishing her masterpiece, Silver Wolf's entire form dissolved into the code of Aether Edit.
[Let's go, we need to be quick.]
On the other side, Ms. Herta stood at the main console, seemingly detecting the intrusion.
[I don't care about the Space Station's affairs, but anyone who dares provoke me—I will repay a hundredfold!]
The potential development between the two immediately piqued the audience's curiosity.
Then the scene shifted again, returning to Belobog. Pela's voice slowly sounded in the background.
[Welcome. This is the Belobog Historical and Cultural Museum.]
A flash of the indoor map passed by, finally stopping on the back of a mechanical lifeform.
[As you can see, the entire museum interior has been completely renovated... However, we've run into some resistance... To be precise, exhibits have been stolen.]
The spots where exhibits should have been were now empty. Hook suddenly leaped into frame, seemingly hinting at something.
The suspenseful words and the identity of that mechanical lifeform left everyone itching with curiosity.
Then came the Xianzhou segment.
March 7th and her group were gesturing sneakily as they observed Luocha.
[Let me see... So these are the suspects in this case.]
The shot cuts to Luocha's graceful sword-wielding posture, the camera lingering meaningfully on Welt adjusting his glasses.
Then Yukong appears, drawing her bow and loosing an arrow.
[Against a formidable foe, one must not be careless.]
Facing the Golden Man's attack, Bailu and Yanqing appear at just the right moment, also hinting that the upcoming game updates will involve these characters.
But the most crucial part is—
Jingliu, with her eyes blindfolded, also appears here, her sword tip pointing at the moon as a chill radiance surges forth. That cold yet slightly unhinged voice sounds.
[Little brother, would you like to receive one strike from my sword?]
In the final shot, Yanqing charges head-on, and then the version splash art flashes—Version 1.1, Galaxy Roaming, coming soon!
That last glimpse of Jingliu's figure ignites the audience's fervor, a flood of information leaving viewers stunned!
"Holy crap, so much content, my eyes can't keep up!"
"Just as I thought, Silver Wolf is going to go up against Herta again!"
"Hurt me? Pay it back tenfold!"
"Didn't expect there'd be a Belobog event too. Pela, hehe, my Pela!"
"Pe~la~big~sis~"
"Pitch-Black Hook the Great has arrived!"
"Who's that mechanical lifeform? Looks so elegant!"
"Wait, why are March 7th and the others tailing Luocha? 'Suspect in this case'—I'm so curious!"
"In that flash of them following just now, our Trailblazer was looking down at their phone, right? Hard to bear!"
"Not digging through a Trash Can is already pretty restrained, huh!"
