Honkai: Star Rail: I'm Developing the Star Rail Mobile Game at the Company Chapter 9

"Is the streamer hacking?!"

"Inhale, I inhale, I inhale hard!!!!"

At the same time, an achievement popped up at the bottom of Lao Mu's screen.

[Ripples on the Dirac Sea (I)]

An achievement granted for obtaining 10 types of Light Cones.

Before Dawn, The Seriousness of Breakfast, Chorus—three-star Light Cones appeared one after another, until finally, a five-star Erudition icon emerged from among them!

Erudition—Himeko!

A five-star Fire-element Erudition character!

"Got it! Oh ho!"

Having pulled a popular character from the story in one go, Lao Mu instantly got excited like a kid weighing hundreds of pounds, waving his fists wildly and muttering under his breath.

"Feed me a pancake, horse fly~~~"

The barrage began flooding in too.

"? How come I've done 30 pulls and still haven't gotten a 5-star?!"

"Cheats! Guys!"

"I got Yanqing in 20 pulls! Isn't that awesome, bros!"

"Clara, why, why won't you come to my side! Pain! Too much pain!"

"Wuwu, I wanted Himeko too, but I got Bronya—looks like she's a support!"

"This gacha pool has so many 4-star characters too—I pulled Sushang from the PV!"

Lao Mu's pulling continued; purple light flashed across the screen repeatedly, as Light Cones and weapons like Dance! Dance! Dance!, Tingyun, Natasha, and others kept appearing.

"This Eidolon +1 thing—what is it?"

Seeing the repeated characters, Lao Mu clicked into the character interface to check, and after a bit of research, he quickly understood.

"Oh, I get it—the duplicate characters you pull turn into Eidolons, used to enhance that character's abilities!"

This was basic gacha game mechanics, convenient for whales to push their limits.

The 50-pull Departure Warp only yielded gold on the first pull; everything after that was purple quality.

Lao Mu glanced at the only Standard Banner currently available but didn't keep pulling.

After all, a team could only hold four characters, and they were still in the main story phase—pulling more wouldn't do much.

Other streamers were probably pulling too right now. If he wanted to stand out...

So Lao Mu decided to prioritize progressing the story; his current roster was enough.

"Alright bros, let's go through the story first—no rush on pulling. Right now there's only one Standard Banner; the Limited Character hasn't dropped yet!"

The story reached a rest phase, with the protagonist wandering around the Space Station, helping researchers with some defense work.

After a transitional segment, they finally entered another story cutscene.

Various red alarms began sounding across the Space Station, as monitors relayed captured footage to the screen.

Outside the Space Station, a massive Doomsday Beast reached its palm through the station's shield—it looked like it was about to successfully invade!

Someone in the barrage immediately recognized the colossal figure.

"My god, isn't that... the Anti-Matter Legion's Doomsday Beast?"

"Knew this guy would show up—I was terrified back then, really felt like the Space Station was about to be destroyed any second!"

"How was this game even made? Did they have a camera filming right next to it?"

Seeing this, Asta immediately said to the people beside her.

"You take the train and leave. I'll stay."

As the Acting Station Master of the Space Station, she couldn't let the guests of the Star Rail Express get into trouble here.

Looking at Asta's resolute gaze, March 7th wanted to say something, but Himeko cut her off.

"Let's go."

A crackling, intermittent communication came through.

"The Support Segment's shield won't hold much longer either—hurry up... here... just... leave it... to... you... hurry..."

"...The comms are dead."

"Should we go back? A reminder: that's a Doomsday Beast—the Legion's Star-destroying Weapon."

"This Space Station was built by Herta. Unless a Great-Eradicator makes a move, it won't be in serious trouble."

"But... but we can't just run like this, can we?"

After some discussion among them, they decided to first rendezvous with Welt, who had arrived at the Space Station.

After traversing a stretch of the Space Station, the story entered another cutscene—and the Doomsday Beast's figure appeared right on the path ahead of them!

"Doomsday Beast... it actually chased us here."

Himeko glanced at the Stelle beside her, and the audience immediately guessed where the story was heading.

"So the Doomsday Beast is chasing the protagonist, right?"

"It must be the Stellaron inside us. Is this some kind of natural charm?"

"Damn, looks like the protagonist is going to be burdened with guilt again!"

"Wait, are we about to fight the Doomsday Beast?"

"Huh, seriously? I'm fighting the Doomsday Beast?"

"We'll win!"

"Definitely winning!"

In the cutscene, the Doomsday Beast's massive body landed before the train crew, letting out roars, and then the scene shattered!

Doomsday Beast Boss Battle, begin!

And in the distance, aboard the Luofu Xianzhou.

Fu Xuan looked in surprise at Jing Yuan and Yanqing.

"It's rare to see the Lord General visit my Divination Department. Is there some great matter that requires this Seat's divination?"

"Naturally."

A mysterious smile curled at Jing Yuan's lips as he pulled out his phone, displaying the warp gacha screen.

"I'd trouble Minister Fu to calculate the auspicious time for pulling. This General is about to board the Star Rail Express, and I intend to bring Yanqing along!"

Yanqing quickly chimed in.

"Yes, Lady Diviner! Please also calculate when General Jing Yuan will appear in the game!"

"..."

Chapter 13: The Gaze of the Destruction Star God, What's in the Mailbox?

The screen shattered into battle.

The Doomsday Beast's upper body filled the entire screen, its slowly swinging arms launching attacks, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure!

Three attackable parts appeared before them: the left arm, the right arm, and the Anti-Matter Engine Core in the center.

"Whoa! This boss fight design is legit!"

Lao Mu entered battle with the train crew of four, carefully observing the boss's attack patterns.

After the arm attacks, the Doomsday Beast clearly assumed a charging stance, its central Anti-Matter Engine seemingly preparing to unleash a powerful strike on its next turn.

Lao Mu seized the moment, directly unleashing Himeko's Ultimate to break the core's toughness and interrupt the attack!

Ultimate: Heavenly Firefall!

"I think you might not understand."

The camera cut to Himeko, calmly sipping coffee with her legs crossed, her gaze fixed on the sky above.

"Humanity has never hidden its desire to control the stars—and that includes me."

A rainbow-colored light descended from the dome, parting the clouds to lock onto the ground target!

The orbital cannon in space had finished charging, a blue beam tilting down from the Heavenly Dome to deliver a precision bombardment!

A towering fire erupted from the target point, the blast's residual force ruffling Himeko's elegant hair, her demeanor completely relaxed and composed!

The Ultimate animation ended, and the livestream erupted again.

"Holy crap, a space-based orbital cannon!"

"That's so cool, calling in a precision strike!"

"The devs are this creative? That's insane!"

"Wait, is this real? Can Miss Himeko actually control an orbital cannon?"

"How could it be fake? Sister Himeko is the navigator of the Star Rail Express!"

With one AoE fire-type Ultimate, the Anti-Matter Engine was shattered, exposing the Doomsday Beast's weakened state—the perfect time to deal damage!

"Go go go, unleash all Ultimates!"

After a round of damage, the Doomsday Beast entered its Second Form!

It soared into the sky, spreading its wings, a golden light covering the entire sky like an apocalypse looming overhead!

Fortunately, the devs seemed to have considered the difficulty for new players in the tutorial. Though the characters were battered, they still managed to pass the Doomsday Beast boss fight without a hitch.

After achieving the [Song of Ice and Fire] achievement, the Doomsday Beast collapsed on the spot.

But just as everyone thought they had successfully defeated it, the Doomsday Beast's mouth suddenly began radiating a powerful energy wave, its attack aimed at the weakened March 7th!

In that critical moment, Stelle flashed in front of March 7th, spreading her arms wide!

"Damn, the Trailblazer looks this cool?!"

"March 7th is my wife, and I'll protect her!"

"I love it, I love it, I'm starting to ship Himeko and March 7th!"

Under the ferocious assault, Himeko felt as if she had been transported to another dimension.

Within the golden wound, something like molten lava flowed, and Himeko's body drifted slowly toward the other being.

"It's time to set out."

A mysterious voice, male and female mixed together, appeared in Himeko's mind.

"What is this..."

"To reach that destination."

"...Who are you?"

"To reach that conclusion with your own will."

In the background, only a tall, white-haired man could be seen watching Himeko as she floated in the air.

The barrage comments were all stunned by this scene!

"Wait! That can't be—!"

"A golden wound! It's definitely Them!"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Yes, how did you know I made this wound?"

[They have noticed you.]

Golden pupils snapped open!

A towering giant was staring at you!
