Watching Honkai: Star Rail get buried among a slew of new games, Lin Yu's brow furrowed slightly.
It was no wonder, this was the largest app marketplace in the galaxy, with new mobile games uploaded one after another.
His game, which had just been on the new games list, was swallowed up by other games in the blink of an eye.
"Too bad I don't have any money for promotion right now. I can only hope that good wine needs no bush," he sighed.
The room Lin Yu was currently living in was an abandoned one.
Not only was it drafty on all sides, but at night it was eerie and spooky, as if it were haunted.
However, the experiences of the past few days had taught Lin Yu something.
Poverty, was scarier than ghosts!
"Kaka…"
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from somewhere.
Lin Yu quickly blew out the candle beside him.
Then he picked up a piece of wood from the floor to use for protection.
He leaned against the wall, watching the direction from which the sound came.
In Lin Yu's line of sight, at the corner, a woman with red hair was holding a phone in one hand and gesturing towards the camera with the other.
She was slowly approaching him.
"Fam! Do you see that?"
"There was something like a ghost fire that went out just now."
"The rumors of this place being haunted are true!"
"Fam, give me a like, Little Gui Zi is going to work up the courage to go in and check it out!"
Lin Yu was speechless.
Wasn't this Gui Nai Fen?
Yesterday, Lin Yu had used his second-hand jade amulet to get into Gui Nai Fen's live stream.
He never thought…
Today, she was livestreaming ghost hunting, and she was actually coming to his place.
Wait!
Live stream?
Lin Yu suddenly realized that this was a great opportunity for promotion!
Although Gui Nai Fen's popularity wasn't very high, she was still a second-rate streamer.
If he could use her to break through, Honkai: Star Rail would soon be able to break out of its niche!
Gui Nai Fen walked cautiously to the entrance of the house.
Because it was too dark, she could only use the faint light of her phone to see.
Lin Yu stood at the door.
He took the opportunity to place a hand on her shoulder.
Soft, smooth…
Gui Nai Fen froze.
The next second…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
…
In the live stream.
"What's going on? I just saw a hand on the streamer's shoulder!"
"Little Gui Zi, are you okay? If you're still alive, say something!"
"Let's go, the streamer's already gone."
"I told Little Gui Zi not to go to that place, but she wouldn't listen, woo woo woo, Little Gui Zi, how can I live without you!"
…
After the initial shock.
A pale, handsome face appeared before Gui Nai Fen.
"Scared me to death!"
"It's a living person!"
Gui Nai Fen wiped the cold sweat from her face.
Lin Yu gave a perfect, polite, yet elegant smile: "Sorry, I scared you."
"Who are you, why are you here alone?"
"According to the Xianzhou, I'm an outsider. I'm not really sure how I got here."
"Huh? Did you sneak in, or were you kidnapped?" Gui Nai Fen asked curiously.
At this time.
In the live stream, the viewers also realized that it was a false alarm.
Because of Gui Nai Fen's live stream, Lin Yu was naturally exposed to the camera.
…
"Turns out it's not a ghost, I was getting excited for nothing."
"The little brother is pretty handsome, but he's dressed a bit plainly, can the streamer get this little brother's contact information?"
"Little Gui Zi, promise me that you won't fall for him, okay?"
…
Because of this dramatic scene, some viewers spontaneously gave a thumbs up, and the number of viewers in the live stream began to gradually increase.
Everything was going according to Lin Yu's plan.
"I came to Xianzhou after playing a game."
Lin Yu was telling the truth.
Except that he was transported to this world.
"A game? Did this game have a teleportation function that brought you from your hometown to Xianzhou?"
"Here, this is the game."
As Lin Yu spoke, he launched Honkai: Star Rail on his phone.
Gui Nai Fen was naturally completely captivated, looking at the screen of the phone.
As the melodious background music played…
The empty, desolate cosmic scene appeared.
A train crossed through the asteroid belt, giving off a sense of ethereal and fantastic wonder.
Gui Nai Fen leaned in to take a look.
She herself couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, some experienced viewers in the live stream instantly recognized it.
…
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the [Star Rail] that travels on the [Pioneering] Path!"
"Ah? So this is Star Rail? It's so retro?"
"Now I believe the little brother! He must have been influenced by the power of [Pioneering] and that's how he came to our Xianzhou."
"Please, pioneer me hard!"
"???"
…
[Popularity +1+1+1…]
Gui Nai Fen lightly tapped the screen.
In an instant, the train sped toward an unknown nebula, signifying that it had officially entered the game.
"Aaah, I accidentally clicked it, I won't be teleported away, will I?"
"Probably not…"
Lin Yu's lips curled up into a slight smile.
The game had officially begun.
