"No need to say any more. Let's get started!" As a previous-generation tester who had already experienced the Simulated Universe, Stelle's eyes shone as she said with some excitement, "I like playing games!"
"Sure. I don't," Herta said, responding to both parts of Stelle's remarks: agreeing to start the Simulated Universe, while taking the opposite stance on playing games.
For a certain girl among the Stellaron Hunters, Herta's "I don't" might qualify as her most hated words for the next fifty years.
"Anyway, let's go in and take a look!"
Jiang Yu spoke up too. He was looking forward to the Simulated Universe as well.
When he played Star Rail in his previous life, this had been a roguelike game mode. But for testers in the Honkai: Star Rail universe, their experiences in the Simulated Universe might be immersive, although they might encounter some rather abnormal things while playing-such as running into some very familiar friends...
Stelle and Jiang Yu soon connected to the Simulated Universe. After a brief spell of darkness and scrambled light and shadow, some normally observable scenery appeared in Jiang Yu's field of vision.
At this stage, it could not yet be called immersive. Jiang Yu knew, and could clearly feel and recognize, that he was lying inside the Simulated Universe apparatus, playing a "game" called the Swarm Disaster. The main interface before him featured a huge rear view of Tayzzyronth.
The next moment, light and shadow flashed, and the image of a Herta Puppet appeared in his field of vision. Accompanying Herta's voice, some writing from the Blue Planet appeared in a dialogue box beside the Herta Puppet's image, translated in real time through the Synesthesia Beacon into information he could read and understand.
"The main interface is pretty good. Screwllum designed it," Herta said.
