"Are you Acheron?"
Hearing this voice.
A glimmer of light flashed in Acheron's eyes.
Had her identity been discovered?
Immediately after.
The voice suddenly rose by eight pitches.
Exclaiming in awe: "Ahhh! It really is Acheron!"
"Big sister, your cosplay is so spot-on!"
"It's like you're the real deal!"
Acheron: "..."
"How did you recognize me?"
Acheron was sure she had concealed herself well enough.
Her cloak was practically covering her face.
Her appearance was quite different from Acheron's in-game image.
These two young girls seemed like ordinary people, how could they be so sharp?
"This is a classic look!"
The two girls in front of her were now wide-eyed, as if wolves had spotted a beauty.
"Acheron's outfit when she spoke with Tiernan by the Dead Sea!"
"Everyone else is cosplaying her usual look, but only you, big sister, are cosplaying this outfit. We're both die-hard fans of Acheron, so we recognized it at a glance!"
"Big sister, what brand are your contact lenses and lipstick? They're so accurate!"
Acheron: "..."
She really wanted to say that these were her natural eye and lip colors.
But seeing how excited these two girls were.
If she really said it.
She might end up being treated like an exhibit at the Starskiff Sea today and never leave.
"Yes..."
Just as Acheron was about to make up a brand.
The crowd ahead suddenly parted!
The path had been cleared.
Which helped Acheron out of her predicament.
"Big sister, let's exchange contacts. Next time, I'll take your photos, they'll definitely turn out great~"
Acheron quickly followed the crowd and slipped away.
She hadn't been this flustered even when fighting Duke Inferno...
"It seems I'll have to change my outfit."
...
System Time: 16:23.
Changtian Square was already packed with tourists from all over!
Besides the players who came for the fame.
There were also people dressed in all sorts of costumes!
There was more than one cosplayer of March 7th.
There were even cosplayers of Pom-Pom, Trashcan, and Duke Inferno!
In short.
All kinds of beings.
It seemed like no matter what appeared here, it was justified!
A festive and lively atmosphere.
The last time it was this heated was during the victory of the Third Denizens of Abundance Wars...
Of course.
Many players couldn't make it to the scene due to time and space constraints.
They could only watch the event through the perspective of streamers.
Little Gui took the lead.
Securing the best spot for live streaming.
Excitedly explaining to the camera.
"Everyone can see."
"Now, there's only one system hour left until the scheduled opening time by Yu Ling, but the scene is already packed with people!"
"Wow! Over there, there's an entire team cosplaying the Astral Express Crew! It's so realistic!"
"Goodness, even the real ones would be confused if they came to the scene."
"Ahhhh... how come there are people cosplaying me too!!!"
Soon.
The scene entered the countdown.
Everyone stopped what they were doing.
Eagerly anticipating!
Even the air routes above were suspended.
Several very prestigious-looking Starskiffs were parked!
Needless to say.
That must be where General Jing Yuan and other big shots were.
When the big screen lit up with the logo of "Honkai: Star Rail".
Everyone on the scene let out a cheer in unison!
The ground seemed to tremble for a moment!
A figure appeared on the screen.
It was... Yu Ling!
"Welcome, players, to the live event."
His voice carried a magical charm.
Although the players had heard his voice multiple times in character introduction videos.
Hearing it in person still stirred up a wave of excitement!
This was a living legend!
For many people.
He was no less than a god existing in reality!
"Wooooow...!!!!"
"Yu Ling, say a few more words!"
"He's still so sparing with his words."
"Good thing it's through a video. If it were in person, many people here might have gone crazy with excitement."
"Holy crap, Yu Ling just greeted me!"
"I knew coming here in person would be worth it!"
"This opening is already god-tier!"
"It was worth rushing here overnight just to see Yu Ling in person!"
At that moment.
Yu Ling suddenly made a strange gesture, capturing everyone's attention!
He extended a finger.
Pointing toward the screen.
Then!
That finger seemed to touch the surface of water.
It actually pierced through.
And along with it, his entire body stepped out of the screen.
His feet hovered in the air.
His long hair flowed gracefully.
A faint smile played on his lips.
And just like that, he appeared in front of the large screen.
In the sight of everyone present!
After a brief moment of silence.
The scene erupted like a volcano!
"!!!!!!"
"Huh???"
"Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap!!!!"
"From virtual to real!"
"Did Yu Ling learn this from Black Swan?!"
"Ahhhhh it's really him!!!"
"Damn! My life is complete now!"
"I got it on camera, I got it on camera!"
"Help!!! I just saw Yu Ling in person!!!"
Those who could still express their astonishment were considered to have strong mental fortitude.
Many others were so overwhelmed with excitement that they fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, Luofu had anticipated such a scene.
They had arranged for a large number of Cloud Knights and Alchemy Commission medics around the area to promptly carry away those who had passed out.
Preventing the situation from spiraling out of control...
In the front row.
Guinaifen was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes!
"I knew it!"
"He would definitely appear!"
"Oh my god! This is the first time I've seen Yu Ling so close up!"
"I even feel like I could reach out and touch him if I jumped up!!"
"Hiss..."
"Why does he remind me so much of a friend I know!?"
"Lin Yu, is that you!"
Behind.
On the road sign.
Acheron lightly stepped on it.
Her entire body was almost weightlessly suspended in the air.
The moment she saw Yu Ling in person.
A flash of lightning seemed to ignite in her pupils!
She even felt the urge to transform into a bolt of lightning and rush onto the stage!
That man...
The developer who shaped everything in Honkai: Star Rail!
Ever since experiencing the Penacony storyline.
Acheron had so many questions she wanted to ask him!
From him.
She was sure to find a way to sever Nihility!
But Acheron held back.
She knew.
Now was not the time.
Rushing to the stage in front of everyone would be no different from causing a scene.
She was here to seek answers from Yu Ling.
Not to interrogate him.
And!
Acheron had a feeling.
In that brief moment.
Yu Ling's gaze seemed to have fallen upon her...
Keep watching.
The content preview had just begun.
In the air.
On a Starskiff.
Firefly couldn't help but clench her fists tightly!
It's him!
He really appeared!
Now Firefly was feeling a bit of regret!
If only she had grabbed a front-row seat.
Perhaps, a closer encounter could have revealed more about that person!
Now, being so far away in the air.
She couldn't even see the details on him!
Firefly couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret.
Kafka's expression also turned serious at this moment.
One hand rested by her lips.
This indicated that she too was deeply intrigued!
Probably.
Many people at the scene wanted to rush onto the stage.
But no one actually could.
Simply because that person was Yu Ling!
At this moment.
Yu Ling spoke again.
His voice was soft.
Yet it reached the ears of everyone present equally.
"We gather here today to preview the upcoming content of Honkai: Star Rail together."
"Without further ado, let's officially reveal the new characters in the future versions."
As his words fell.
He returned to the screen.
Becoming the narrator in the video.
Making many feel as if it was a fleeting moment!
But it was enough!
After all, today was not Yu Ling's personal performance.
But a content preview for Honkai: Star Rail.
"He's still so low-key and unassuming!"
"Everything is just to bring us better game content..."
"If he wanted to, he could easily become the most renowned figure in the galaxy, right?"
"Think bigger! For someone like Yu Ling, turning the entire world into a game, interpreting reality, that's the real vision!"
"Today's experience at the scene, I feel like I could brag about it for a hundred years!"
"A hundred years? Ha, I could brag about it for a lifetime!"
"Calm down, brothers! New characters are coming!"
"Don't forget! There's still a special guest to appear later!"
