At this moment, in the live stream.
Xiao Gui Zi wasn't streaming the game's plot; the screen was frozen on the scenic carriage of the Astral Express.
"Huh? Where's streamer Xiao Gui Zi?" Fu Xuan asked, puzzled.
Then she subconsciously looked at Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan shook his head.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either."
"The streamer was just here a moment ago."
The viewers also started spamming the chat with comments.
...
"How did Xiao Gui Zi suddenly disappear?"
"Everyone disperse. The streamer has been taken away by the Cloud Knights."
"They really shut her down?"
"The Xianzhou Luofu, are you serious? We're about to enter the Xianzhou Luofu storyline, such a crucial moment, and you take Xiao Gui Zi away? Are you afraid of the future being revealed?"
"I'm gonna go play the main story myself. I want to see what kind of big events happen on Luofu!"
"Give me back Xiao Gui Zi!"
...
Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan, in front of their screens, were completely baffled!
Especially Jing Yuan.
He had even specifically informed the Xianzhou Luofu that they shouldn't interfere with this live stream, and that they should let Xiao Gui Zi's stream go on as smoothly as possible!
And now she was gone?
Who was so quick to take action?
After regaining his composure slightly.
Jing Yuan immediately started operating on his Jade Token.
【[Real Name User] has gifted streamer Xiao Gui Zi 1 Di Ting Storm!】
【[Real Name User] has gifted streamer Xiao Gui Zi 3 Di Ting Storms!】
【[Real Name User] has gifted streamer Xiao Gui Zi 5 Di Ting Storms!】
Seeing the colored comments flashing across the screen, Fu Xuan immediately understood.
Right!
Gift-giving!
It wasn't a problem with the live stream, after all, it was still ongoing, not shut down.
It must be that the streamer had something urgent.
But what could be more important than pushing the story?
Right now, the whole universe was watching the development of this game!
Fu Xuan wasn't going to be outdone.
She also started sending gifts.
【[Merciless Fortune Teller] has gifted streamer Xiao Gui Zi 5 Super Star Charters!】
【[Merciless Fortune Teller] has gifted streamer Xiao Gui Zi 10 Super Star Charters!!!】
...
"What the hell is going on today? A battle of the gods!?"
"Xiao Gui Zi, come back! These bigwigs are showering you with gifts, I'm worried for you!"
"Stop sending gifts, you two! You'll attract the attention of the official staff!"
...
At that moment.
Xiao Gui Zi suddenly appeared in front of the camera, executing a spinning drift followed by a backflip.
Her eyes sparkled brightly.
"Thank you to [Real Name User] and [Merciless Fortune Teller], two super big bosses!!"
"I just went to use the bathroom, Xiao Gui Zi! It's been a whole night!"
"To live up to everyone's enthusiasm, I will continue to seriously play through the game and bring everyone a better story experience!"
Fu Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
Phew, she's still here!
How would the Astral Express and Xianzhou Luofu collide?
And what would happen on Luofu?
She had already completely immersed herself in her thoughts.
Hopefully, by watching the storyline ahead of time, she could make some decisions and be prepared!
…………
At this time.
Somewhere on the snowy plains of Yarilo-VI.
Sha Jin, leading a group of company security personnel, surrounded a suspicious-looking trash can.
"Come out, Sambo."
Sha Jin spun the chips in his hand and said in a nonchalant tone,
"Do you think it's reasonable for a trash can to appear here?"
As soon as his voice fell.
A figure emerged from under the trash can.
"Hahaha, it's just a little joke with you guys."
"What's going on, bosses? What brings you to Sambo here?"
One of the employees pointed his gun forward and said fiercely, "Stop acting dumb. You're the developer of Honkai: Star Rail, Yu Ling, right?"
Sambo raised his hands, looking wronged, "What?"
"You said I'm [Yu Ling]?"
"I swear, I'm innocent!"
"I also want to find this bastard developer! What did he do to me in the Belobog storyline?"
"I, Sambo, am a man of integrity and honesty, but he turned me into a slippery, unreliable old con man!"
"It's outrageous!"
Sha Jin narrowed his eyes, constantly observing Sambo's every move.
Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate.
He opened it to take a look.
It was a new announcement posted by [Yu Ling] –
A short film titled "Flying Light."
Sambo immediately seized upon this lifeline, "Look! If I were Yu Ling, how could I be posting messages online simultaneously at this moment?"
"This Yu Ling is clearly using me as a scapegoat!"
Sha Jin didn't seem to care, "That's not necessarily true. If I'm not mistaken, this announcement can be scheduled to be sent later, right?"
"It could be a trick to deceive everyone, don't you think?"
A big question mark appeared over Sambo's head.
After a moment, he sighed.
"You're so right, I almost started believing I was [Yu Ling]."
"Take me back to claim the reward."
Sambo stretched out his hands, looking completely resigned.
Sha Jin smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the company will conduct a fair trial for you."
Sambo nodded, as if he had accepted his fate.
Suddenly, several detonated bombs rolled out from both of his sleeves.
Thick smoke billowed up.
Sha Jin waved his hand to dispel the smoke in front of him, but Sambo was nowhere to be seen.
"Sha Jin...cough...are we going to...cough...chase him?"
"No need. That was just a bluff. Sambo is not the developer Yu Ling."
Sha Jin looked towards the distant snowy plains, muttering to himself,
"My mission was to confirm if Sambo was the developer of Honkai: Star Rail. Now, the answer is clear."
"This mission is complete."
"As for finding the real [Yu Ling] – "
"Heh, whoever could develop a game like this wouldn't be easily controlled?"
"Such a difficult task, whoever wants to do it can. I'm not taking it."
