A flash of white light appeared, and the game officially began.
The first scene of the game was a massive white Space Station in the middle of the starry sky.
The melodic Canon in D music began to play, a huge meteorite slowly drifted past the camera, letting the scene shift inside. A woman in a white shirt and draped in black was elegantly dancing to the melody, as if playing music with an invisible violin in her hands.
And with the rhythm of the music, a large number of Anti-Matter Legion soldiers began to appear and teleport onto the Space Station. The central control room was in chaos, and Asta, the station master, directed the people of the Space Station to guide the evacuation of the researchers.
The security personnel had also begun to engage the invading Anti-Matter Legion. Arlan led the defense, holding the enemy soldiers back.
Amidst the flashing blades and shadows, Dan Heng and March 7th ran through the Anti-Matter Legion's attack and arrived at a space hatch. Suddenly, a bright light burst from inside the hatch, and March 7th quickly exclaimed, "Be careful!" The vibration caused by the explosion made the entire Space Station begin to shake.
The lights in Kafka's cabin were also affected by the explosion and went out, plunging the cabin into darkness.
"It seems I've came at a bad time."
Kafka looked upwards, and a virtual screen immediately unfolded before her eyes. The screen had a white wolf head logo with green patterns, and a cold response from a girl came from within it.
"No no, I think you couldn't have timed it better."
"System time 23:47:15. You are punctual as usual, Kafka."
Upon seeing Kafka's full face, the bullet comments section erupted in reaction.
["Oh my god, this is the Anti-Matter Legion! There's actually a real-life Anti-Matter Legion!"]
["Didn't you hear her name? It's Kafka!"]
["Stellaron Hunter Kafka, the one with a 10.8 billion bounty from the company?"]
["Who else could it be? This game not only has the Anti-Matter Legion, but it even features the Stellaron Hunters. This is good, this is good!"]
["So interesting, I can feel Elation from this."]
["Can we use this character, or is she just an NPC? This model really activates neurons!"]
["She's so beautiful!!!"]
["Star Rail, right? I'm downloading it right now!"]
["Yeah, it's Star Rail!!!"]
Seeing the good quality of the game, the popularity of the live stream began to slowly climb, and the patrons also started to get curious about the upcoming developments. Lahmu was also very surprised by this situation. Could it be that this game developer designed the background based on real-life characters? Then, what about later...
Thinking of this, he continued to play through the story quest.
"Elio's vision of the future is never wrong. What was that explosion just now? Was that also in his script?"
"Yes, system time 23:44:59, the EMP generated by the explosion caused a large-scale paralysis of the main control system."
"Was it you?"
"The Anti-Matter Legion did it. They fully invaded the Space Station two system hours ago."
"Do we need to fight the Legion?"
A light whistle escaped from her red lips.
"I don't know. Elio didn't say, so it's probably not important."
"Understood~ Then from now on, I'll take over the operation."
Up to this point in the story, Lahmu had read every single word, but to be honest, he didn't quite understand it....
What was all this? What was the script? What were the Stellaron Hunters here for? Who was the protagonist? Who was he? This feeling of a whole string of things flashing through his mind, yet leaving nothing behind...
So Lahmu decided to order takeout first! Then he continued to play through the story.
"Received. Can you make this fun for me? The last couple of missions were quite boring."
"Sorry, today's mission is very tedious: it's just about putting the target in—but if you want to find some fun, I won't stop you. After all, anything Elio didn't write in the script is irrelevant."
As she spoke, Kafka pulled out her weapon, approaching several Anti-Matter Legion Voidrangers, and then the screen froze, with shattered cracks covering the image.
"Oh! It's entered the combat screen!"
Seeing that it had entered combat, Lahmu finally became invested. The screen shifted, and Kafka stood with her back to the screen, elegantly holding a purple longsword.
["Holy cow, Kafka is actually a playable character!"]
["How daring of this game developer, aren't they afraid of the Stellaron Hunters coming to pay them a 'visit'?"]
["The story allows a free trial, perfect to see how strong she is!"]
["I'm starting to look forward to other characters later!"]
["Just looking at this combat screen, it can't be a turn-based game, can it? That's an antique style of gameplay from how many years ago!"]
["You don't know anything, gameplay isn't good or bad, So what, it all depends on if the devs can deliver the experience!"]
The combat style didn't seem complicated either. Characters could perform a total of three actions. Q was a normal attack, which could restore one skill point. E was a skill with higher damage, requiring one skill point to use. After charging, a powerful ultimate attack could also be unleashed.
The difficulty of the beginner tutorial was basically zero. One normal attack plus a skill ended the battle. After the battle ended, players could finally control their character to move around the map, and Lahmu immediately began to play with it curiously.
"Wow, Kafka's model looks really good!"
Lao Mu controlled Kafka to walk and sprint, and the entire process was clear and smooth, without any lag, and he occasionally let out exclamations of surprise. Moreover, the character model was very detailed, and there was even an idle animation when she stood still. This was something the myriad trashy, reskinned AFK mobile games in the market couldn't compare to, alright! He was getting very sick of those.
After enjoying playing for a while, Lao Mu was about to follow the main quest to advance the story when his phone suddenly received a message. It turned out his takeout had arrived. "My people, don't rush, I'm just getting my takeout, I'll be right back!"
Saying this, Lahmu pushed his chair back and turned to leave, preparing to eat while streaming. However, in the process, he accidentally nudged the mouse, and the game camera on the computer also shifted quite a bit because of this action.
The screen showed Kafka's long, shapely beautiful legs occupying the entire display. Many leather buckles were tied over her tight, translucent dark stockings, adding a certain inexplicable allure.
At the same time, the bullet comments section became restless, charmed by the accidental sight on screen.
"?"
"???"
"No way?"
"No, dude!"
"\?°_ /"
"L?°⊥"
"I'm convinced, man among men."
"Holy crap? Streamer, what are you doing?! Perv!"
"weallknowtherules?"
"Ecchi!"
"So Lahmu, you're this kind of perverted streamer. Now it's time for some serious punishment!"
"So this is how this game is supposed to be played? Your Star Rail, you've played it wrong again and again and again and again!"
"oraoraoraoraora"
"Dumbass! What are you doing!"
"What to do, I feel like I've suddenly embarked on the Path of Propagation!"
"Now Lahmu is really getting the good stuff!"
The popularity of the live stream began to skyrocket, soaring from the original 200,000 popularity to 570,000, more than doubling! All thanks to a wonderful and accidental sight. So when Lahmu returned after getting his takeout, the first thing he came back to was the screen full of bullet comments and the surging popularity.
"Holy crap, what's going on?!"
The screen full of bullet comments prevented Lahmu from noticing the image in his game. He looked for a long time but couldn't understand how his rep had become a perverted streamer!
It wasn't until he adjusted the bullet comments to play on one side that a tempting scene immediately appeared before his eyes. At that moment, Lao Mu felt as if he had unlocked the hidden scene of this game!
