The internet has been quite lively these past two months.
Three major accounts suddenly became active at the same time: first, Bai Luan's lifestyle account updated every night on time, tempting fans' appetites and shattering countless weight-loss dreams.
Secondly, a game producer released four hit new games consecutively, each a massive success, quickly gaining a large audience!
What's more, each game sold for only one credit!
Let's check out an interview with a Bl game fan!
"Bl, you are my god! It's so damn fun! I live to play games like Dead Cells!"
Ahem, it seems this fan is a bit overzealous; let's switch to another one. This person looks calm and composed, so he definitely won't…
"This Stardew Valley Bl sells for one credit. I will indiscriminately attack anyone who criticizes Stardew Valley. If you don't play, get out, don't yell here!"
Hmm… I admit I misjudged. Let's try another one, this one!
"Have you played Terraria?"
"Uh… not yet."
"Why haven't you played Terraria!?"
The reporter stepped back a few paces:
"I'll play it when I get back, I'll play it when I get back."
Then he quickly left, hearing a voice behind him as he turned:
"Everyone go play Terraria! You have a brain that has never played Terraria! Why don't you play it! Damn it! I'm so envious!
Please, someone knock me out and make me lose my memory! I want to play Terraria again!!!"
After running far away, the reporter wiped his sweat.
Then he smiled at the camera and said:
"I didn't expect everyone to be so crazy. Our Minecraft players are still calm."
"What's so fun about a block-building game?"
"What do you know! Come out and fight me!"
Robin also released three new songs after some communication and discussion.
"Virtual" was responsible for luring everyone in.
"What Keeps You Here" and "If Love Forgot" were responsible for metaphorically 'slaying' all the fans who were lured in.
"Luxury! And I am Miss Robin's dog!"
"Folks, actually, you could have left after hearing 'Virtual'."
"Don't listen to the person upstairs, listen to me, go straight to the last two songs."
"Folks, I'm deaf, I can't hear the lyrics clearly."
"It's okay, my fan-made animation is almost done. Once it's finished, I'll hold your eyes open and make you watch, okay?"
"Do you know how happy I was laughing when I first heard the first song? Robin's voice is so sweet… it sounds like falling in love! But the other two almost killed me…"
"This is Qiequ Ren, the highest mountain in the galaxy's music scene! The longest river! Those stronger than him aren't as enduring, and those more enduring aren't as strong! Every song has something worth talking about!"
"These three songs are going to spoil my ears! Praise Miss Robin…"
"Truly Miss Robin, a powerful singer who can master different styles."
After stirring up a massive wave on the internet, Bai Luan felt nothing.
After all, this wasn't the first time he had done something like this. The emotional value this brought him was less than the emotional value he got from taunting Silver Wolf after releasing a game.
After experiencing all four games, Silver Wolf had already sincerely apologized for her sharp criticism that Bl's talent had run dry.
And she asked him if he could still produce a few more games like these if he were to do it again.
The sound of an abacus clacking directly reached his ears from the distant secret hideout of the Stellaron Hunters.
Bai Luan's reply to this was:
Haha, I'm not doing it.
The development of these four games in the Honkai: Star Rail world is still less than one percent complete.
All sorts of clever strategies for Terraria.
Various mods and gameplay for Minecraft.
Several DLCs for Dead Cells.
The daily casual farming of Stardew Valley.
You can just go study these things; playing them intensely for a lifetime won't be a problem.
As for the collaboration with Robin, wow, that was truly satisfying to listen to. Now I can hear these three songs everywhere I go.
They are incredibly popular.
However, the lifestyle account brought a little trouble.
Sharp-eyed researchers at the Space Station had already found clues from the familiar kitchen background and were trying to uncover his identity.
But it doesn't matter.
Bai Luan was never worried about being exposed.
As soon as the first signs appeared, he donned the guise of a "prophet," transforming into the "first person to discover the clues," and pulled this group of enthusiastic detectives into a chat group.
Now, the leader of this "Identity Unmasking Task Force" was none other than himself.
Every week, he would punctually throw out some seemingly logical but utterly nonsensical "major clues" in the group, watching them analyze, argue, and go off-topic as if they had found a treasure… He never tired of it.
Under his brilliant leadership, they would surely soon…
Well, get further and further away from the truth.
How interesting.
Bai Luan adhered to his self-discipline principle, jogging slowly through the Space Station, running through various modules.
He saw Arlan and Peppy playing electronic frisbee.
He saw Inspiration Shroom and a researcher chatting idly.
He saw Xiu being somewhat helplessly surrounded by a group of researchers specializing in mechanical structures.
Sentient machines are nothing to be surprised about, but man-made machines that can reach a level infinitely close to sentient life forms are truly impressive.
These researchers were bringing new colleagues to pay homage; creations like Xiu were the pinnacle of their specialization.
Whenever new colleagues joined their team, the senior members would bring them to see the pinnacle.
They could even converse and make friends with this pinnacle.
This was already a strange tradition among the mechanical enthusiasts at Herta Space Station.
Bai Luan also saw the Astral Express.
Yes, the Astral Express.
It was docked at the Herta Space Station platform.
WC!
What did I see!?
Bai Luan, who was originally just passing the platform, ran back as if he had pressed a rewind button.
The hatch slid open, and familiar figures stepped out one by one.
March 7th, a young girl stretching, her pink hair dancing in the light like cherry blossoms in March.
Dan Heng, a black-haired young man with an expressionless face and eyes as calm as an ancient well.
And Welt Yang, a seasoned, steady man wearing glasses.
As well as… Himeko, the red-haired, elegant, and composed navigator.
Bai Luan rubbed his eyes, confirming he wasn't mistaken, then pinched himself.
It wasn't a dream.
He really wasn't mistaken?
The train is really at Herta Space Station now!?
What's going on?
Bai Luan then noticed a familiar figure beside the train: a Herta Puppet.
Herta seemed unsurprised by the train's arrival and naturally greeted Himeko.
Filled with questions, Bai Luan ran over.
As Bai Luan ran, Himeko was chatting with Herta.
"…These are all the items you need to find for this commission."
"Understood. This time, as usual, the train will stop here for a while to replenish supplies."
"You should talk to Asta about these things, don't talk to me. I'm not handling these anymore."
"Asta?"
"My new acting Station Master."
"New acting Station Master? So, you had an old acting Station Master too?"
The Herta Puppet heard footsteps, turned to look in Bai Luan's direction, then smiled and said:
"You've come at just the right time."
The Herta Puppet raised her hand, pointed at the running Bai Luan, and said:
"Let me introduce you, Bai Luan, the old acting Station Master and my assistant."
"I've never seen him before?"
"Of course, you haven't seen him. He's the unlucky fellow who was trapped in the time stream."
"Oh, it's him. So, you successfully rescued him?"
"Isn't the result obvious?"
As they spoke, Bai Luan ran to the front of the train.
Looking at the familiar faces of the Astral Express crew, Bai Luan was momentarily at a loss for words.
Just as Bai Luan was about to get awkward, the Herta Puppet spoke:
"You've come at just the right time. These people are… never mind, it's too much trouble."
The Herta Puppet said to Himeko and the Astral Express crew:
"You all introduce yourselves."
Then she looked at Bai Luan and instructed:
"Bai Luan, they will be staying at Herta Space Station for a while. You be their guide and help them pass the time in this Space Station. It's in your hands. Bye."
After saying this, Herta disconnected, and the Herta Puppet returned to being a normal puppet.
Bai Luan was a bit helpless.
This is why he sometimes avoids Herta.
He never knows when a task will fall on him.
However, precisely because of this, Bai Luan also escaped his state of not knowing what to say.
"Herta is still the same. Hello, nice to meet you. I am Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express. Just call me Himeko."
