Chapter 10
So This Is How Pioneers Are Born?

The [Black Tower] space station's conference room.

A group of people looked at the plot on the screen, as if they were collectively in a daze.

"So this is how a Pioneer comes to be?"

"The Star Nucleus was physically inserted!"

"Is this something I'm allowed to see?"

"It's confirmed! The game's plot is based on real events from a while back, and there are a lot of details that we don't know!"

"Quickly, go get Station Chief Aiesta!"

Soon.

Aiesta arrived in the office, surrounded by a group of people.

A clerk had already recorded the entire previous livestream.

Seeing the antimatter legion invading the space station, the chaotic scene.

Aiesta's mouth gaped in surprise.

This was vividly familiar.

The aftermath of that disaster, there were still many messes that hadn't been cleaned up.

So, the antimatter army was brought in by the Star Nucleus Hunters!

These vile Star Nucleus Hunters!

They just freely fiddle around in the space station's containment area.

They came to steal the Star Nucleus, but they felt like they were home.

They even casually barged into Black Tower Lady's collection room.

They stuffed the Star Nucleus into a young girl's body.

Wait!

This girl, does she look a bit familiar?

Oh, isn't this the Pioneer!

So she was created by the Star Nucleus Hunters as a carrier!

Within just a few minutes.

A massive flow of information surged through Aiesta's mind.

It was no less than showing her three months' worth of expense bills all at once.

"Miss Aiesta, could [Pioneer] be an undercover mole planted by the Star Nucleus Hunters?"

"What are you talking about? It's just a game, don't make such malicious guesses about our friends." Aiesta crossed her arms and said with a little annoyance.

"But, it seems that the game's plot completely matches reality." The clerk said.

"Not sure, let's keep watching."

Aiesta switched the main screen to the livestream.

The livestream of the streamer named Little Guizi.

Little Guizi herself is just a small box in the bottom right corner of the screen.

The rest of the screen is occupied by the game screen of "Honkai: Star Rail".

…………

Silver Wolf: "How much longer? According to the script, the people from the Star Rail Train ([Pioneer] travelers) will be here soon, we shouldn't meet with them like this."

"I know, Silver Wolf. Just a little while longer, just a little while."

Kafka, as if she were acting coquettish, then said to the camera,

"It's almost time, I have to go...[Listen to me]: Soon, someone will find you, go with them. Don't remember anything except me."

【No, don't...】

【Goodbye...】

【Kafka...Ka...】

Even without voice acting, anyone watching this scene could feel -

The protagonist is currently in a state of having just woken up, a bit dazed and confused.

"When you have the chance to make a choice, don't regret it..."

When Kafka finished these last words, the screen slowly faded to black.

It represented the protagonist falling back into sleep.

It's unknown how long has passed.

A man's voice appeared.

"This person's coordinates weren't sent from the space station..."

Another female voice urged: "It's already like this, what are you caring about? This living person is right in front of us, it can't be fake."

"Her heartbeat and pulse are very weak, March, prepare to do CPR."

"Ah?! I... I don't have any experience! Dan Heng you do it!"

At this time.

The protagonist's perspective finally opened again.

What met her eyes was a giant man's face.

Because he was so close, it looked enormous.

"Stop—talking!"

A hand, at the critical moment, pushed the man's face away.

Then the owner of the hand took his place and came close.

Pink short hair, a pair of brightly colored eyes, smiling at her.

"She's awake!"

"Are you alright, can you hear me? Do you remember your name?" The pink-haired girl asked.

Seeing this scene, Aiesta was speechless in surprise.

Isn't this March 7th and Dan Heng!

Even though their identities were revealed in the conversation just now, seeing them in person brought about an incredible feeling.

It really is the people from the Star Rail Train!

This Pioneer even helped a lot in the space station.

I didn't expect her to be born like this?

Gotta contact the train crew.

Aiesta picked up her phone.

Just as she was about to find the train crew's contact information, she suddenly stopped.

She suddenly thought of something.

"Our space station clerks have all been playing this game, the train crew must know already, right?"

"Forget it, the game just started, there's no need to jump to conclusions so quickly."

She closed the friend contact interface.

Opened the app store.

Searched for "Honkai: Star Rail."

She downloaded it without a second thought.

This game, just for the plot alone, she was going to play it!

This game, surely there will be more surprises for her.

…………

Star Rail Train.

Old Yang and Jizi couldn't help but look at each other.

Playing to this point.

Everything was connected.

After a long silence, Old Yang spoke first, "From the report Dan Heng uploaded, he and March 7th indeed met her in Black Tower's artifact collection room."

"You mean, this game's plot is really based on reality?"

"At the moment, it's highly likely."

"Could Star Nucleus Hunters make a game like this with their technology?" Jizi seemed to be asking herself.

"They should... be able to."

Old Yang was also unsure.

"Initially, this producer named [Yu Ling] must have had a very detailed understanding of Kafka and Silver Wolf in the Star Nucleus Hunters, otherwise it's impossible to make such details that we don't even know."

"Then what about the train? Don't forget, this game's name is after the train."

Jizi took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling with a strong interest.

"Valter, I have a feeling, this game is just beginning."

"Look, there's a new function unlocked here - [Characters]."

"I'm already curious what Little March and Star's skills are."
