Qlipoth Fort.
Inside the meeting room.
Seele, who was usually rebellious, was even sitting properly in her chair.
Clearly.
She hadn't fully adapted to the changes that had happened to her.
Bronya wrote down five names on the record board.
[Seele, Hook, Bronya, Natasha, Fersman]
"It's confirmed."
"There are five people who received Yu Ling's [reward], and you and I are among them."
Seele took a deep breath.
"You know, I still feel like I'm dreaming!"
"We're immortal now? We can live for hundreds of years? This is like a fairy tale!"
Bronya comforted her, "Seele, nothing is impossible."
"In the game 'Honkai: Star Rail,' we not only re-examined our planet as outsiders but also witnessed the splendid cultures of other worlds in the universe."
"Our vision shouldn't be limited to just Belobog; we should look at the entire universe."
Seele nodded, "Yes, no matter what happens, I believe in you."
As she spoke.
She let out a sigh, "Now that I think about it, I kind of regret it…"
"If I had known how precious this wish was, I should have chosen to have Yu Ling eliminate the effects of the Fragmentum on Jarilo-VI."
"No, I think the current situation is equally significant."
Bronya's eyes gleamed with determination,
"Eliminating the effects of the Fragmentum is something we can do ourselves. It's our responsibility."
"And now, this is the most critical period for Jarilo-VI."
"Our planet has become a famous landmark in the universe. While integrating with the cosmos, we must also firmly uphold our [Preservation] path."
"Recently, the company has been trying to gain some sovereignty over Jarilo-VI through various means, but I've rejected all of them…"
"I was a bit worried before. Although our generation can hold on, what about the next generation of successors?"
"When they first get to know this world, they are exposed to the dazzling cultures of the outside, yet they can't personally experience the heritage and significance of their own planet."
"In this situation of give and take, a galactic economic entity like the company will eventually find an opportunity to take over our planet."
"But now…"
At this point.
Seele's expression turned to one of realization and excitement. "Bronya, as expected of you! You've thought so far ahead!"
Bronya nodded solemnly.
She spoke with gravity, "Yes... you, me, Natasha... we are all people who can be trusted."
"And Hook will eventually grow into a reliable adult. Her father, Fersman, is also a representative of the workers."
"That's right. The five of us have now gained the constitution of immortality. We will serve as Jarilo's [Guides] and [Overseers], ensuring that Belobog's [Preservation] and [Trailblaze] always stay on the right path!"
"We can become the pillars of Jarilo's revival, witnessing her eliminate the influence of the Fragmentum, venture into the cosmos, and truly become a prosperous world."
...
Today,
is undoubtedly the most exciting and frenzied day for all players!
The game's storyline has already had a tremendous impact on the real world.
And now.
Yu Ling has personally intervened!
Through the selection of the rankings.
He has brought rewards to the winners that can fulfill any wish!
Seele's precedent has fully proven the authenticity of this matter!
Major mainstream media across the universe are scrambling to report on this event.
[This is the Interstellar Peace Broadcast, with an urgent news flash: Yu Ling has personally appeared in Belobog and granted the ranked winner [Seele] a reward wish—bestowing the longevity of the Xianzhou people upon Seele and four others.]
[Xianzhou Alliance Daily: Developer Yu Ling grants ordinary people the longevity of the Xianzhou, which means the curse of [Abundance] may be broken...]
[Ghostly Grove: Speaking of such a big event, isn't Yaoshi going to come out and take a look? Or has Yaoshi really been devoured by Yu Ling?]
[Honkai: Star Rail Game Forum:]
[Unbelievable! It's foreseeable that Belobog's future will undergo tremendous changes because of this.]
[Bronya now has enough time to grow into an outstanding Supreme Guardian.]
[Last week, I made a special trip to Belobog. The planet is indeed beautiful, and the locals are very friendly. I even took a photo with Gepard!]
[Wishing them a better future.]
[What I'm more concerned about now is that the next ranking selection will probably be handled with extreme caution...]
[I suspect the company will take this opportunity to manipulate the votes, forcing all employees to vote for their own characters!]
[Of course, a chance to fulfill a wish is something the company won't let slip by.]
In fact.
As speculated by the players on the forum.
The company has already held an emergency meeting.
Topaz and Aventurine, as the only two characters currently appearing in the game, were naturally forced to join this meeting.
"I believe: If our company's characters make it to the rankings, we can use this opportunity to bring about a whole new transformation for the company, stepping into a new era."
"Exactly, we must make good use of this opportunity to maximize the benefits for the company."
Aventurine and Topaz remained silent.
Clearly.
Having their personal rewards tied to the company's interests.
This left them somewhat dissatisfied.
Aventurine appeared calm on the surface.
But in his heart, he had already made a decision.
To be precise.
He didn't hesitate at all!
If given the chance.
Even if it meant giving up his current fame and fortune...
As long as he could have his family by his side.
That was all he had ever dreamed of!
While the company's old-timers were discussing how to maximize the efficiency of the wish.
A voice suddenly spoke up: "You... are truly laughable."
"Do you really think your petty schemes can fool Yu Ling?"
"Forcing the ranked winners to make wishes against their true intentions... this goes against the original purpose of Yu Ling's rewards."
"I believe that if Topaz and Aventurine truly make it to the rankings and make wishes beneficial to the company against their will."
"Yu Ling will make you pay a greater price in a unique way."
"Let's end this ridiculous meeting here."
"Whether they make it to the rankings or what wishes they make... let them decide for themselves."
Topaz and Aventurine exchanged a glance.
Both saw the unexpected delight in each other's eyes!
Aventurine clenched his fist tightly.
Feeling that his chances were great!
The meeting ended.
Aventurine cut off the visual feedback.
Returned to his room.
Deliberately poured himself a glass of wine.
Currently, there aren't many characters in Honkai: Star Rail.
Plus, with his recent role in the latest storyline.
There's a chance...
A real chance!
Just the thought of possibly fulfilling that wish.
Made Aventurine's hand tremble slightly.
At that moment.
"Ding dong—!"
The notification sound for a special alert rang.
[The user you follow, [Yu Ling], has started a livestream, come and watch~]
Aventurine's gaze sharpened!
Immediately clicked on the link.
Sure enough!
On the livestream interface.
Was a new ranking list!
And the moment he saw the name of this ranking list.
Aventurine's hand involuntarily clenched tightly!
So excited that he crushed the glass in his hand.
On the livestream screen, three large characters appeared.
