仙舟, Jinren Alley.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Yu opened a room near the hotel.
The room was clean and tidy, with complete amenities.
Lin Yu sat in the seat by the window, savoring the hotel’s special brew while opening the system interface.
【Popularity: 20,000+】
【Spending: 0】
【Current Total Points: 20,000】
【Congratulations, host, for reaching the first milestone! 5,000 points and one small promotional opportunity granted!】
“Promotional opportunity?”
Lin Yu's eyes narrowed upon seeing this reward.
He hadn't been using Gui Nai Fen's live stream for high-profile publicity, so what was this promotional opportunity the system was offering?
He opened the corresponding description, and soon, Lin Yu understood its purpose.
“Unconditional advertising within a certain range?”
“This…”
【Recommended Placement: Space Station [Black Tower] - Pinokonio】
Lin Yu thought for a moment.
He had initially wanted to place it in Pinokonio, after all, it was a gathering place for dreams, and the flow of people was very large, this game would certainly attract more attention.
But he opened the map and took a look.
He couldn't help but complain, "This range is too small, isn't it?"
"It's not even as big as one attraction in Pinokonio!"
"Placing it on the Space Station would cover it all, though."
"Forget it, I'll place it on the Space Station then."
As Lin Yu activated it, the main control section of the Space Station’s advertising machines all instantly changed color.
All the advertisements for things like the Finder and Kali White were replaced.
【Latest Mobile Game - 《Honkai: Star Rail》, Get Three Train Crew Members for Free! Plus [Asta] and [Black Tower], All Free!】
【What are you waiting for? Be the first to embark on your Trailblazing Journey!】
The advertising cover, in addition to the silhouettes of March 7th, Dan Heng, and Himeko, featured the most striking artwork of Asta and Black Tower.
This was the advertisement designed by the system specifically for the Space Station.
One could say, this simple and crude tagline would be very effective for those who are used to the monotonous procedures of their daily routines.
Having seen all kinds of programmatic ads, suddenly seeing something so interesting, anyone would take a second look.
“《Honkai: Star Rail》? Never heard of this mobile game before.”
“Free game? Plus free characters when you log in? This is too generous, isn’t it?”
“What does the ad mean by [Asta] and [Black Tower]? Did they make Station Manager Asta and Lady Black Tower into game characters?”
“If so, I have to play this game!”
“Billboard, you just wait, if it doesn't give you free characters after logging in, I'm going to complain!”
The Space Station employees who saw the ad all stopped in their tracks.
They took out their phones and started downloading 《Honkai: Star Rail》 in the mall.
The Space Station wasn't that big, after all.
This news spread quickly.
It soon reached the conference room where Asta was located.
“Miss, this is what happened.”
Alan explained earnestly,
"All of the billboards suddenly seem to have been hacked, and all of them changed to, uh... the advertisement for 《Honkai: Star Rail》."
"Should we shut down the power supply to all the billboards?"
"No, no..."
Asta shook her head as she looked at her phone,
"This game is pretty interesting, I'm just about to [Leap] now."
"Leap?"
"Yeah, it's this, you can draw many of the characters you know in reality, like March 7th, Himeko, and maybe even, Lady Black Tower!"
As she spoke, Asta directly clicked the [Leap Once] option.
An ordinary ticket floated in the universe, the train then arrived.
Under the guidance of the Train Conductor, Pam.
The rear door opened, purple light spilled out.
Asta was a little excited, "Purple light... hmm, I must have drawn a four-star character!"
In the light.
The image that appeared was of a girl sitting next to a giant telescope.
【Asta (New), Fire attribute, Four-star, Synergy】
Alan was speechless.
Asta’s mouth opened into a perfect O shape.
She drew a card,
and drew herself?
Alan opened his mouth, but it took him a while before he finally managed to ask his question.
"Miss, are you... one of the characters in this game?"
"I, I don't know!"
Asta seemed a little flustered, this was the first time she’d ever encountered this situation while playing a game,
"But I did see myself in the game's story just now."
"So that's how it is…"
Alan lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
"Miss, I'll have the engineers under me check if any other programs on the Space Station have been hacked."
"Oh, okay, go ahead."
Asta gradually calmed down.
She eagerly opened the character interface.
She checked out her skill descriptions.
"Battle Skill [Meteor Shower]… deals 4 extra instances of damage…"
"Ultimate Skill [Starry Prayer], increases my team’s speed…"
"Damn… how did the developer know I like stars!"
On the other hand.
After leaving Asta, Alan didn't immediately contact his engineers.
He went back to his own rest room.
He took out his phone.
His fingers trembled slightly as he searched for 《Honkai: Star Rail》.
Soon, the download was complete.
As he started the game, he muttered to himself, "I, I have to draw Miss Asta!"
"And I have to protect her."
"Even in the game, I can't let Miss get hurt."
