“What the hell? Is Sampo talking to us directly through the screen?”
“Sampo, you’re a genius!”
“Joy! He mentioned Joy!”
“The masked fool, supposedly a follower of the Joy Star God, always shows up when civilization falls into stagnation to spice things up!”
“Is it possible that Sampo is actually the developer of this game? He is [Yu Ling]!”
…
Stargazer Peace Company.
After Topa took on the investment mission for Yarilo-VI, another important task was placed before the executives.
“So, who’s willing to take on this mission? – Capture Sampo, the suspected developer of *Honkai: Star Rail*.”
【Strategic Investment Department · Shajin】 replied, “It’s not that simple. If the game developer [Yu Ling] is really Sampo, why would he intentionally reveal his identity at the end?”
“But right now, there’s no other information about the developer [Yu Ling]. We can’t rule out the possibility of the developer being a smart aleck.”
【Strategic Investment Department · Shajin】：“Alright, there’s still some time before we go to Pinokonni. I’m willing to take on this mission.”
“Shajin, if Sampo really is the developer, then he definitely has hidden means. I advise you to prioritize recovering the Pinokonni business. Don’t end up failing both.”
【Strategic Investment Department · Shajin】：“Thanks for the reminder, but I have my own bargaining chips. I don’t need your concern.”
Stargazer Train.
March 7th bit into a piece of fruit in a fit of anger.
“That Sampo! He was hiding so well, he even fooled me!”
“If it wasn’t for this part of the story in the game, I’d really think he was just a local from Yarilo-VI!”
姬子 came over to comfort her, “Okay, little March, don’t be sulking.”
“Walther and I analyzed it, and we think Sampo is most likely the Masked Fool.”
“Ahha’s followers are hard to figure out, but he hasn’t done anything to harm you. He’s actually been helping in many ways.”
“Even so… but next time I see him, I’m gonna give him a good beating!”
Xing nodded vigorously beside her, clearly harboring the same intention.
After venting about Sampo for a while, everyone turned their attention back to the story.
They spent a night in the Goethe Hotel “peacefully.”
Now they have to leave Yarilo-VI and return to the train.
Under a clear sky.
A shining star flies up against the clouds.
Inside the Cripper Fortress, Himeko, who was arguing with Bronya about the focus of the town’s reconstruction work, suddenly stopped her verbal attack.
Pointing outside, she said, “Bronya, look!”
Looking at the meteor soaring into the sky outside.
Both of them stopped arguing and smiled at the same time, relieved.
“They’re going to… encounter many difficulties on their journey, right?” Bronya sighed.
“Yeah… maybe even more dangerous than what we’re facing.”
“But we’ll overcome the difficulties. Even if it means… having arguments like this all the time…”
“…hey, I’m really good at arguing.”
They were like a couple who would bicker at the bedside but make up at the foot of the bed.
March 7th hugged Xing and rocked back and forth excitedly.
“They’re such a great pair!”
“It’s so good. It’s so much more fulfilling than our rushed return!”
In Little Guizi’s live stream.
Guinaifen also showed an aunt-like smile.
“Hee hee hee…”
The viewers quickly reminded her.
Shipping is fine, but you need to wipe the drool off your chin!
You’re on live stream, for God’s sake, pay attention to your image.
Guinaifen retorted, “What drool? This is tears! It’s just coming out of the corner of my mouth, okay!”
She looked at the game interface.
Her smile gradually faded.
“Huh…”
“It’s that time again.”
“Do you think there will be new story content?”
Barrages of bullet comments quickly filled the live stream.
…
“I’m March 7th! We just came back from Yarilo-VI. I’m willing to bet ten train vouchers that there won’t be any new main story content! Because our train crew hasn’t decided where to go next!”
“You’re March 7th? I’m Dan Heng!”
“From a general perspective, the game’s progress has already surpassed reality. If it continues to be updated, it won’t be reflecting reality, but predicting the future.”
“If you say so, it’s impossible to have new main story content.”
“Even if the progress ends here, this game is already legendary.”
“The streamer’s progress is too fast. I’m still doing the [To the Dim Star] side quest in the space station.”
“Believe in Yu Ling, Yu Ling is my god!”
…
The discussion in the live stream made Guinaifen nervous.
She opened one eye and tapped lightly on the screen.
【New Mission: Silent Stars】
【Talk to Pam and prepare to embark on the next journey.】
“AAAAAAA…!!!”
Guinaifen let out a shriek like a mouse.
“It’s real!”
“There’s a next journey!”
“This game is too awesome!!”
“I really…”
“Don’t know what to say!!”
“Yu Ling, you’re amazing!!!”
