Honkai: Star Rail: I Developed the Star Rail Mobile Game at the Company Chapter 50

"Looks like there's still more Yanqing-related plot ahead. That last shot was so cool—can't wait for his moment to shine!"

"Jingliu! Look at that outfit, it's definitely Jingliu, right? She didn't turn to ash!"

"I can't take it, this video has way too much info. I can't stand staying in version 1.0 a second longer!"

As the video ended and the Preview Program returned to the screen...

Facing Silver Wolf, who had suddenly appeared in the guest seats, Jimi began to showcase his perfectly timed terrified acting.

[Stellaron Hunters, Sil... Silver Wolf!]

His expression exaggerated, he let out some kind of indescribable shriek, making Silver Wolf wave her hands repeatedly.

[Alright, alright, stop yelling. You think I wanted to come? It's just that this Preview can't go on without the main character, so I reluctantly agreed to show up for the recording.]

Yukong, sitting nearby, bluntly called her out.

[Miss Silver Wolf, based on current clues, everyone here had their consciousness forcibly pulled from their dreams by the officials. They didn't exactly ask for your consent.]

Hearing Yukong's words, the audience was stunned.

"Whoa, forcibly pulling consciousness from dreams? That's insane?"

"Interesting, very interesting. Pam, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

"But considering the real stuff that happens in the game, this is pretty standard."

"Wait, so that means these people are the real deal, not actors they hired?"

"No way, that line must be scripted too!"

Outside the Preview Program, after the episode aired, Jimi unsurprisingly received a communication request from his superiors.

But just as Jimi nervously picked up, a strange male voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Jimi, I'm Aventurine. I've already suppressed the matter of you attending other hosting programs without the company's permission. Feel free to cooperate with them in future collaborations."

These words made Jimi's eyes light up.

A P45 from headquarters personally giving the order—who in this branch would dare to nitpick him now!

Thank the dream, thank Director Aventurine, thank Honkai: Star Rail!

As for Aventurine, ever since the board set its sights on the game, he had been waiting.

Waiting for a chance to catch Diamond's attention, even if it meant offending board member Taran to make his move.

When he saw the General of the Hunt appear, he knew the time had come.

Back inside the Preview Program.

After being exposed, Silver Wolf quickly changed the subject.

[That's not the point. The point is, we're stuck in a room where we can't leave until we finish recording. Telling the players about the event schedule is what matters.]

Chapter 74: General Jing Yuan's Power Is Still Rising

Hearing Silver Wolf's words, the audience immediately sensed something off.

"What the heck? A room you can't leave until you finish recording? That format looks... way too familiar!"

"As expected of you, veteran of countless shows!"

"That sense of déjà vu—I've got it! It's another Edo Star specialty!"

"A room you can't leave without doing X! Fill-in-the-blank contest begins now!"

"Stop, hit the brakes!"

"Huh? What are you guys talking about? I don't get it!"

"Don't worry, just go play over there."

With the three guests assembled, the Preview Program officially began. Jimi recited the classic opening line.

[Regardless of whether you have day and night in your world, first, I wish you a good morning, afternoon, and evening. I'm your good friend, Jimi!]

[Welcome to this special preview episode for version 1.1!]

As the program kicked off, after a brief self-introduction from the three guests, it moved to Silver Wolf's character introduction segment.

Having already been a trial character in the early main story, everyone was familiar with Silver Wolf's mechanics.

But when her character art appeared, the audience couldn't help but go wild.

At that moment, Jing Yuan asked.

Jing Yuan: [Miss Silver Wolf, I see many little figures in your art that look just like you. Could you tell us about them?]

Silver Wolf: [Well, I'm not great with people, so I created those as virtual friends for myself.]

Jing Yuan: [Oh~]

Yukong: [Miss Silver Wolf... hmm... quite the imagination.]

Jimi: [How did the topic suddenly get so heavy?]

Silver Wolf: [What imagination? These are all real, okay? They're the universe's most advanced AI modules! We're even a professional team!]

However, these words only made things worse, instantly exposing the fact that Silver Wolf had no friends.

"Hahaha, socially anxious Wolf Cub can't make friends and can only play with AI, boohoo so pitiful!"

"What imaginary friends!"

"Playing too many anime games!"

"Wolf Cub, so pitiful, getting bullied by them again, you should know that only I am your friend, only I love you!"

After briefly explaining the background, Silver Wolf began to describe her own character's skill mechanics in the game.

As a Quantum attribute character on the Nihility path, her skill can add a weakness matching the attribute of a teammate's character to a target, with all attacks inflicting random debuffs on the enemy. Her ultimate is a single-target defense reduction skill lasting several turns.

Outside of battle, her technique can hit enemies and reduce their toughness regardless of attribute, making the audience exclaim she's overpowered!

Being able to add weaknesses and reduce toughness outside of battle regardless of attribute—pairing this with Seele, isn't this a guaranteed win for the Quantum battleship?

After introducing Silver Wolf's mechanics, it was Luocha's turn.

Watching the preview program, March 7th recalled Uncle Yang's attitude toward Luocha earlier.

"Uncle Yang said Luocha looks like an old acquaintance of his, but would the expression on his face be like that when meeting an old friend? It's almost like..."

March 7th racked her brain for the right adjective, and beside her, Stelle added at the right moment.

"It's almost like a blood feud."

"Uh... maybe don't describe things next time..."

This interstellar merchant carrying a coffin, who appeared in the Luofu main story, was shrouded in mystery. Many speculated that his purpose for coming to the Xianzhou was no simple matter.

Unfortunately, there was too little story about Luocha so far, and the online theories were more absurd than the last.

Some said the coffin contained the Star God of Propagation, the Great-Eradicator, or Cocolia!

Some even guessed it held Luocha's lover—in short, anything could be stuffed in there!

With two guests from the Luofu invited, Silver Wolf was quite curious. After all, in the Xianzhou script back then, she was only responsible for hacking the system to open the gate.

Now that the answer to the follow-up story was right before her, Silver Wolf asked directly.

Silver Wolf: "General Jing Yuan, as a Xianzhou General, you should know how the story develops, right? Who is Luocha really? Can you give us a little spoiler?"

Hearing this, Yukong recalled the past and fell silent. Jing Yuan just smiled lightly.

Jing Yuan: "As for the game's story, let's wait for it to be presented in the game later. For now, let's introduce Luocha's character skill mechanics."

As an Imaginary attribute character on the Abundance path, Luocha's skill can restore a teammate's HP and remove one debuff. His group-attack ultimate can dispel enemy buffs.

The key point is that when a teammate's HP falls below a certain threshold, Luocha will immediately cut in line to use a skill on them without consuming a point.

Observant people immediately caught the key point.

"Damn, the skill can remove debuffs!"

"Finally! Before, only Natasha could dispel controls. My General Jing Yuan always got locked down by those dirty tricks and missed the Divine General's Manifestation's turn!"

"It even comes with after-sales insurance? Now I have to pull for Jing Yuan!"

"General Jing Yuan's power is still rising!"

After Luocha came the introduction of Yukong, a four-star Imaginary Harmony character. As the Luofu's ace pilot in the early years, her skill provides an attack boost, while her ultimate grants critical rate and critical damage.

Then, after introducing the character's light cones and gacha pool arrangements, the program entered the redemption code segment, leaving the audience a bit stunned.

"What... what is this? Some kind of secret code?"

"Can't find it on jm!"

"What the hell is jm? This is a game redemption code, used in the top-left corner of the game!"

The redemption code worth 100 Stellar Jade delighted the audience. They didn't expect to get Stellar Jade just from watching the show, and the preview program began attracting more and more players.

Back in the preview program, the event content introduction began.

First up was the Herta Space Station electronic graffiti event, where Genius Club member Screwllum would assist with graffiti puzzles.

As the program explained this, Silver Wolf suddenly recalled something. Watching the preview program alongside Silver Wolf, Kafka turned to her and smiled.

"This wouldn't be that time you hacked into Herta Space Station, got 76 game accounts banned, and threw a tantrum, would it?"

"I... I didn't! And what do you mean 'threw a tantrum'?!"

By collecting the graffiti, players could also obtain the event-exclusive light cone: a four-star Nihility light cone—Before the Tutorial Mission Starts.

The light cone seemed to depict Silver Wolf on her first mission, playing a claw machine.

What was special was that the dolls inside were all various forms of Jimi. In the background, Blade, wrapped up tightly, was messaging Kafka, as if complaining about the new member's unreliability.

The details in this light cone's artwork were even better than Silver Wolf's five-star signature light cone, "Rain Keeps Falling." The audience couldn't believe this was a free event light cone—it was practically a mini signature weapon!

But after seeing the events arranged later, the audience realized this was just the beginning!

Chapter 75: Stellaris Gift, 10 Billion Achieved!

After introducing the space station's graffiti event, it was the Belobog Museum event's turn.

Worth mentioning, among the event rewards was a special item: Self-Modeling Resin.

At the Synthesis Table, you can specify the main stat of a corresponding Relic to craft it, quickly boosting players' progress toward maxing out their Relic sets.

How many players have dreamed of that one Crit Rate body piece or a Planar Sphere with the right element, only to be left heartbroken? Self-Modeling Resin is the saving grace for the masses grinding away in Relic domains!

"Self-Modeling Resin, you've done well!"

"I declare this the greatest invention in Honkai: Star Rail!"

"Holy shit, even The Erudition would have to call it badass!"

And in the upcoming event schedule, there's the Space Station's [Stellaris Battlefront] combat simulation program. As a classic "fight, have fun" event, it not only provides specific trial characters but also offers corresponding buffs.

For example, using a Skill doesn't consume Skill Points.

Then there's the double drop for Simulated Calyx, which is very welcome in the early stages when everyone's short on materials.

And the Space Station Researcher Wen Shiling's event, [Assistant, Please Be Seated].

As the simplest event, you only need to talk to her once a day to earn Stellar Jade rewards!

This familiar event flow can't help but remind Lin Guang of an old acquaintance.

Introduction of the events is complete, followed by Companion Missions for several characters: Silver Wolf, Luocha, Yanqing, and Bailu go live.

And in the final part of the Preview Program...

The most, most, most heavyweight event arrives: Stellaris Gift!

During the event period, simply log in for a cumulative 7 days to claim 10 Star Rail Special Tickets!

Silver Wolf: "The tense and exciting Sign-in Event is back!"

Jing Yuan: "That's right, just like the Stellaris Gift in version 1.0 of the game, the rewards are all Star Rail Special Tickets!"

As soon as the event appeared, it instantly ignited the players' enthusiasm!
