Honkai: Star Rail: I'm Developing the Star Rail Mobile Game at the Company Chapter 6

On the train, March 7th, whose phone had been snatched by Stelle mid-game, quickly urged.

So Stelle controlled March 7th to unleash a Skill, giving herself a shield.

"Th-this... is Preservation?"

Having read the system introduction, March 7th knew Preservation was a survival-type role that provides shields to our side.

But how did she look like Preservation? With this bow and arrow look, this girl wants to be the Main DPS!

Meanwhile, the protagonist beside her had accumulated enough energy through a round of attacks and activated her Ultimate: Stellaris Ace!

"Rules, are meant to be broken!"

In the scene, Stelle casually spun the baseball bat, then swung it down hard!

Three-digit damage made the audience unable to sit still, since before it had all been two-digit numbers in the tens.

"My god, is the Trailblazer's damage multiplier this high?"

"I thought this free story protagonist would be pretty mediocre, hard-labeled as 5-star but actually 3-star, but from what I'm seeing now, feels pretty strong!"

"She is so beautiful, I'm falling in love with myself!"

After another round of story, March 7th tried the elevator to the Master Control Zone, pressing buttons repeatedly and slapping it, until finally...

"Broke it?"

"—It wasn't me! It must be the Anti-Matter Legion's fault! If only all-purpose Teacher Dan Heng were here, he knows all sorts of random stuff, maybe he could even fix the elevator..."

As the story progressed, Dan Heng glanced calmly at March 7th.

"As I recall, you needed the key card from Station Master Asta back then."

"Ah... haha..."

After the story segment, Dan Heng automatically joined the team. In his splash art, he leaned against a red maple tree with a spear in his arms. The exquisite illustration immediately caught many people's eyes.

"Another free character! Now the Train Crew trio is complete!"

"Following normal mobile game patterns, this is when they'd pop up a recharge offer!"

"Congratulations! You've activated a 6-credit limited-time discount recharge pack! Countdown: 4 minutes 59 seconds!"

"Stop posting that, I already have the image in my head!"

"Just don't know how strong this character is. Usually these free launch characters aren't great, otherwise how would they force you to spend money!"

Chapter 8: Don't You Think I'm a Ditz?

In the story, just as March 7th was muttering about all-purpose Teacher Dan Heng.

"I don't know how to do that."

March 7th let out a strange yelp and stepped back, looking exactly like that old lady pulling a tug-of-war in some meme.

"How are you here?!... How did you get here faster than us?"

Dan Heng mentioned that he had already found Arlan, and the three of them headed to the Surveillance Room together, where they saw Arlan resting.

And at that moment, on the Herta Space Station.

"Arlan, Arlan, look! It's you!"

Asta pointed excitedly at Arlan in the mission story on her phone.

"Miss, the focus shouldn't be here. We don't even know how they obtained this information. That's a security risk for you, Miss."

"Isn't that why I have you, Arlan? I'm really looking forward to how this game develops. Will it be exactly like reality? Will there be a version of me in it? And what star rating will old lady Herta be?"

Seeing Asta's excitement, Arlan swallowed the words he wanted to say, silently thinking he should check the space station's surveillance system later.

He also decided to download the game. Not because he was in it, but because Miss Asta was in it!

In the story, the Train Crew trio met up with Arlan and asked about the elevator.

"After the evacuation, to prevent the Legion from attacking the Master Control Zone, the elevator's permissions were temporarily locked. Miss Asta entrusted you to find me, so she should have given you the unlock key, right?"

"Uh... I think... she gave me a card..."

"March..."

"I don't remember where I put it..."

"You..."

The bullet comments were instantly amused by March 7th's antics.

"Haha, she's a bit of a goof!"

"Feels like a ditz, you could just take her home!"

"Don't you think I'm a ditz.jpg"

"Wifey is adorable!"

"Pulling out the savings card and slamming the table.jpg"

On the train, March 7th watched as her embarrassing moment was preserved as game story content, probably already spread across the universe by now.

March 7th covered her flushed cheeks with both hands, her toes curling in embarrassment as she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself on the spot.

"It's over, why is this part here too! Now this girl has no face to go out and see people!"

Although in the following plot March 7th found the key on her person, her silly image had already been deeply ingrained.

The group used the key to unlock the permissions smoothly. Arlan originally wanted to stay behind and seal the permissions, but after some discussion, he followed along with the others.

When they arrived at a certain room, March 7th spotted something and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, isn't this shiny thing a... Light Cone? Isn't this a rare item only found inside the Interastral Peace Corporation?"

Seeing the familiar name of the Interastral Peace Corporation sparked another round of heated discussion.

"Here it is, the Interastral Peace Corporation!"

"With a real-world backdrop, you really can't avoid the Interastral Peace Corporation!"

"Will there be people from the company as game characters? I want to play as a leader!"

"Previous comment, subordinates can't kiss their boss on the mouth!"

"Your idea is great, give me your employee number, I'll get you a raise right now!"

"By the way, who's the strongest force in the universe?"

"Hard to say, probably the company?"

"It depends on the situation! Excluding Aeons from the discussion, if we're only counting Emanators, it should be the Xianzhou, but that's just my personal opinion!"

"Any faction except Elation!"

"Aha really has no face!"

Mentioning the Interastral Peace Corporation, many company employees among the livestream audience began to wonder if any company executives would appear in the game, and some from relevant departments started reporting this to their superiors.

"Oh? A game based on reality, and it features the Interastral Peace Corporation?"

Aventurine became interested upon learning of this. As a P45-level executive in the Strategic Investment Department, although his main responsibility was liquidating non-performing assets, letting a business opportunity slip by wasn't the company's style.

So he immediately began gathering relevant information and managed to find that the other party had business dealings with a branch office.

Yan Shi was busy monitoring the promotional effects when he suddenly received a message from Aventurine, instantly feeling a bit panicked.

What's going on, why is a big leader suddenly contacting me?

Although he had some status in the branch office, he was completely insignificant in front of a main company leader. Now as a subordinate, he could only obediently reply to the message.

"Leader, I'm here, what are your instructions!"

Aventurine brought up the Star Rail game and asked about the cooperation with the other party. Unfortunately, Lin Guang only kept throwing money at it, so there was basically no valuable information.

"Next time they contact you, give them my contact information."

Unable to get any useful information, Aventurine dropped a number and cut off the connection, planning to use a bit of company technology to look into the other party.

But to Aventurine's surprise, the tech department investigated for a long time without finding any useful information.

The other party seemed shrouded in a mysterious veil, blocking all investigative methods.

This forced Aventurine to temporarily drop the matter, planning to deal with it when the other party contacted him.

Back to the story.

Dan Heng began explaining the function of the Light Cone. Arlan told the trio to take it, saying it would help in battle.

Then the screen flashed, and the new feature—Character Light Cones—was unlocked!

"Provides attributes to the character. If the equipper's Path matches the Light Cone, the equipper gains a special ability."

Lao Mu studied the Light Cone function introduction and understood it to be the game's weapon system.

"Light Cones as weapons and equipment? This game is quite novel!"

"Using Paths to distinguish Light Cones sure makes things easier, otherwise you'd have to design countless types of weapons!"

"The card art display is quite exquisite. Made into merchandise, it should be very popular!"

The plot gradually progressed. When they reached the elevator entrance, they were suddenly attacked. Dan Heng immediately stepped forward with his spear to block the strike, and a tall centaur elite—the Trampler—appeared!

"Here it is! Let me test out Dan Heng for everyone!"

Entering the battle with full energy, Lao Mu immediately clicked Dan Heng's Ultimate!

Ultimate: Dreamscape Transfiguration, Long Dream Unending!

"Life and death, illusion and reality—between a single thought!"

An exquisite splash art flashed by. Dan Heng held his spear horizontally across his chest, maple leaves fell, and the scene shifted. In a gray-white space, the reflections of Dan Heng and the target appeared, while the red maple branches at the edges added a splash of vibrant color to the image.

"Dreamscape Transfiguration, Long Dream Unending!"

With a command, blood turned to ink, like a delicate ink-wash painting.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, it looks this good?"

"The Xianzhou, this is the Xianzhou art style!"

"Even a four-star character's Ultimate animation is made this exquisitely!"

"Ten-year veteran fan, here uninvited!"

"Dan Heng, don't get mad, bend me over!!!"

Chapter 9: Two Hundred Million as a Test Run

As the battle ended, the Trampler in the cutscene let out a screech and immediately summoned a horde of Voidrangers to surround the group.

Seeing this, March 7th complained.

"Hey! Can't win, so you gang up... aren't you playing dirty?"

Just as they were protecting the wounded Arlan and slowly retreating, at a loss for what to do, a sigh was suddenly heard.

A propeller-shaped drone appeared in the center of the battlefield, spinning at high speed while its equipped Monomolecular Saw easily broke through the Anti-Matter Legion's encirclement.

Seeing an opening in the siege, Dan Heng immediately led the group to break out and escape.

The scene shifted to another side of the Space Station.

An elegant, mature woman in a white dress with a military coat draped over her shoulders was tidying her handbag.

"It always gets this thrilling, but still, it's good to be back."

Miss Himeko's appearance instantly ignited the livestream audience's enthusiasm.

"An elegant and reliable senior character! Love it, love it!"

"She is so beautiful!!!"

"That voice, I can't take it, I'm completely defenseless!"

"Kafka, I'm not going home tonight!"

"That's Miss Himeko, the navigator of the Star Rail Express! So we're definitely joining the Star Rail Express later!"
