Chapter 28
Developer's First Announcement, Limited Banner Implementation

After the fox-girl left, Lin Yu began inspecting his first property on the Xianzhou.

The villa came with a spacious garden, although it only had some ordinary ornamental trees for now.

He could tidy it up later, plant some flowers and grass, and turn it into a small garden.

The facilities inside the house were complete, simple yet exquisite.

He immediately opened the system panel.

“Use ability [My Turf, My Rules]."

【Confirm to set this property as [Turf]?】

“Confirm.”

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking,

an invisible energy spread from him as the center, reaching every corner of the villa.

He closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, he had an excited look in his eyes.

“Is this the feeling of absolute control?”

He looked at the sapling next to him.

With a thought,

the sapling began to grow and sprout at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It quickly grew into a small tree, and fresh fruit appeared on its branches.

It fell from the branches, floating into Lin Yu's hand.

“It tastes pretty good.”

However, the other plants around it had clearly withered.

After all, energy is conserved, so making this one fruit tree grow quickly would consume a large amount of nutrients from the soil.

Later, he could find a maid to take care of this estate.

Once the soil was fertile, he wouldn't need to pay this price.

Sitting on the swing next to the garden, Lin Yu opened the game developer interface.

【Popularity: 100,000+】

【Monetization: 600,000,000+】

【Current Remaining Points: 400,000,000+】

Besides the basic reward information, he also briefly browsed through the other game information.

The player progressing the fastest had already reached Belobog, and they were expected to complete Belobog's storyline by tomorrow.

He opened the system store.

He quickly selected a resource.

【Honkai: Star Rail 1.0 Version Additional Content: Includes Seele and Jing Yuan's gameplay characters, Light Cones, and character PV,】

The Honkai: Star Rail he won from the lottery was the initial version. While it was mostly the same as the 1.0 version, it lacked the limited card pool.

Now that his game had gained some fame, he should implement this crucial aspect.

“Purchase!”

【Purchase Successful, Spent 50,000,000 Points】

【Honkai: Star Rail 1.1 Version Update Content: Includes Silver Wolf, Blade, and Himeko's gameplay characters...】

【Price: 1,500,000,000 Points】

“1.5 Billion.”

“It’s not much. I can save enough in a couple of days.”

“Let's open Seele and Jing Yuan's card pool first.”

On the largest forum on the Interstellar Peace Network, Lin Yu created an account under the identity of the developer of 《Honkai: Star Rail》.

Then, he sent his first game announcement.

【Thank you players for loving 《Honkai: Star Rail》. I will offer 1600 Star Rail to all players in the game as a thank you. Also, opening the limited five-star character [Seele]'s card pool...】

After sending it, Lin Yu implemented the 1.0 version's additional content.

The reward was sent along with the announcement.

Every player online would receive this email.

Shortly after the announcement was released,

it caused a huge stir online!

Within half a minute, there were hundreds of replies under the announcement.

“Am I seeing things? This is the developer [Yu Ling]'s account!?”

“It's officially verified, it can't be fake.”

“My God! Yu Ling, I bow down to you!”

“I watched Little Gui Zi play it all night, all I can say is this game is crazy!”

“1600 Star Rail? The boss is generous!”

“Fellow Star Railers! Big things are coming! Limited five-star characters will definitely be strong!”

“I'm gonna blow up the gacha!”

Compared to the netizens' attention to the game content,

Silver Wolf was more focused on the developer, Yu Ling himself.

She used one of her small accounts to send Yu Ling a private message immediately.

“Hello, Yu Ling. I'm a player who loves 《Honkai: Star Rail》 very much, and I'm very curious about the developer.”

“Can you reveal? Where are you from, Yu Ling?”

After sending it,

Silver Wolf sat there idly.

She hardly expected the developer to reply to her.

In Silver Wolf's imagination, Yu Ling must be the kind of person who could join the Genius Club.

Those kinds of people are usually arrogant and disdainful.

How could he possibly reply to her boring comment?

Even she thought her private message was a little too stupid.

However, to her surprise,

five seconds later, Yu Ling actually replied to her!

“I can’t really say where I’m from, but I live on the Xianzhou now.”

Xianzhou!

Xianzhou!

Yu Ling lives on the Xianzhou!

Silver Wolf felt her breathing and heartbeat quicken!

She had never been so excited even when carrying out the most dangerous missions, but now, she felt this way because of one person's reply.

Kafka was also curious and leaned over to watch Silver Wolf and Yu Ling's conversation.

“But there are six main warships on the Xianzhou! Which one is Yu Ling on?”

Silver Wolf typed a line to ask, but then suddenly deleted it all.

“No, no! That's too straightforward! It will make Yu Ling uncomfortable!”

“What if I offend him and ruin everything!”

Seeing Silver Wolf's anxious look, Kafka smiled confidently.

“Silver Wolf, leave it to me.”

“Alright, you're better at this than I am anyway.”

Silver Wolf gave her seat to Kafka, and added, “Don't mess it up!”
