500,000 credits in hand.
For the first ti, Tatsuke experienced the thrill of making money quickly.
This amount was equivalent to several months of hard work!
Stay calm!
Stay composed!
In the future, he was going to dominate the galactic market and beco a top-tier ga developer!
This small sum was nothing!
However.
Tatsuke couldn't help but grin from ear to ear!
Just thinking about no longer living in poverty, no longer huddling in an abandoned house eating instant noodles...
His heart was filled with joy!
Today, this ordinary guy is really, really happy!
Fortunately, the alley was dimly lit.
And Guinaifen was completely focused on Honkai: Star Rail and her livestream.
Otherwise.
She might have thought Tatsuke was so kind of weirdo...
When they reached the comrcial street, Tatsuke had already cald down.
Guinaifen found a teahouse and booked a private room.
To make it easier for her to livestream.
Tatsuke, on the other hand, said he was going to grab sothing to eat.
After exchanging contact information, they went their separate ways.
Looking at the bustling night market.
The aroma of various grilled ats, fish, and seafood filled the air...
Tatsuke's eyes welled up with tears, and he almost wanted to dive right in.
Damn it,
Finally, I can afford to eat sothing good!
.........
anwhile.
Inside the teahouse.
As soon as Guinaifen sat down.
She imdiately opened her phone.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone!"
"Let's continue our journey in Honkai: Star Rail."
"To be honest, I've only just scratched the surface."
"Even if it ans staying up all night, I'm going to show you all the cool stuff this ga has to offer!"
On one hand.
The ga had caused quite a stir in her livestream.
It was even more popular than her previous stunts like breaking stones on her chest or throat-locking with a spear.
On the other hand.
Guinaifen had also been deeply captivated by the ga's content.
She was eager to see what ca next.
"I think Kafka is probably the main character of this ga."
"After all, her skills are so flashy. She must be the protagonist."
"Surely no other character's ultimate skill could be more dazzling than hers, right?"
The viewers actively joined in the discussion.
...
[Chat]
"Kafka is definitely the main character!"
"The developers are probably so no-na small studio. They didn't have the budget for promotion, so they poured all their resources into Kafka's design!"
"I just checked. The developer is called [Yu Ling]."
"Yu Ling? Never heard of them."
"Witnessing the rise of a legendary developer!"
"I really want to see that 'bong～' again!"
...
Guinaifen glanced at the comnts. Most people seed to agree.
Kafka was clearly the ga's flagship character.
All the special effects and visual polish had been lavished on her.
In fact.
It was possible that she was the only playable character.
After all, the developer was new, and players were more forgiving.
As the story continued.
After Kafka effortlessly dealt with the enemies in front of her.
Little did she know.
A new Voidranger had spawned behind her!
It launched a sneak attack from behind.
Its blade aid straight for Kafka's head!
Just as the blade was about to strike.
It suddenly turned into a cluster of colorful cubes.
Then, its entire body dissolved into countless small cubes.
As if an invisible hand had disassembled it.
In an instant, it vanished from the space station!
"Cleaning up after others isn't my job."
A girl, while operating a complex and dazzling system, casually remarked.
She jumped down from her seat.
Glanced indifferently to the side.
And blew a pink bubble with her gum.
In any other context, she might have been described as "that cool little girl" or "weirdly cute."
But now, everyone watching the livestream knew.
This was no harmless girl next door.
She was another mber of the Stellaron Hunters!
A top-tier hacker with extraordinary skills!
She was the one who had spoken through the screen earlier.
...
[Chat]
"Silver Wolf! It's her!"
"I didn't expect another Stellaron Hunter to show up!"
"She's another heavyweight! The Interastral Peace Corporation has a 5.1 billion credit bounty on her!"
"I thought Kafka was unbeatable, but there's another mastermind here!"
"Can we play as Silver Wolf? I'm really curious about her skills!"
"Dream on! Kafka's design is already so polished. Silver Wolf can't possibly be a playable character."
"Yeah, she's probably just making a cao."
...
Despite this.
Silver Wolf's appearance made the livestream even more lively.
Two Stellaron Hunters!
What were they up to?
The story continued.
"No matter how many tis I see it, your thods are always incredible~" Kafka praised.
"Just modifying reality data. A trivial trick, really."
"What were you looking at so intently earlier? Show ."
"Herta's toys—the catalog of [Curios] in the space station. There's a lot of interesting stuff in there."
"Like what?"
"There's a gun that can score any living thing in its crosshairs, from 0 to 100."
"How is that interesting?"
"Aren't you curious about what score you'd get? I'd really like to know."
"Sure, if it's on the way, let's give it a try."
The two chatted as if they were on a casual outing, discussing trivial matters.
There was no sense of urgency or impending danger!
But then.
Suddenly!
A viewer in the livestream realized sothing was off.
...
[Chat]
"Wait, wait, wait! Strear, pause for a second!"
"What did Silver Wolf just say? Did she ntion [Herta]?"
"Huh!? ...You don't an that genius from the Genius Society, do you?"
"Mystery solved! This space station is Herta Space Station!"
"Herta Space Station, the Antimatter Legion... Oh my god! I think I've stumbled onto sothing huge!"
"???"
"What's going on? What's going on!?"
"Soone explain, I'm really curious!"
"There was news a while back..."
"Herta Space Station was indeed attacked by the Antimatter Legion, and the Astral Express went to help!"
"I rember now! It was all over the Interastral Peace News!"
"It can't be this coincidental, can it!?"
To be continued...
