"Yay! I got a gold on my first ten-pull!"
"See! A pretty girl's luck is always good!"
In the observation car.
March 7th let out a cheer.
Dan Heng merely glanced over, his emotions still not fully settled.
The image of Blade holding his sword with a cold smile still lingered in his mind.
The new main storyline had already mentioned his name.
He wondered what kind of outcome awaited him and Blade in Xianzhou.
At this moment.
Dan Heng felt a sense of helplessness in the face of fate.
More precisely.
It felt like being roasted over a fire!
He hoped the plot would quickly reach the part about him.
Whether it ended in life or death, he just wanted it to be decisive.
In Dan Heng's view.
The upcoming plot would inevitably involve chaos on Xianzhou's Luofu, leading to a final showdown between him and Blade.
His companions on the train would surely come to his aid.
The final outcome...
Could be a victory, or mutual destruction.
If his companions got hurt because of him...
He couldn't accept that outcome.
"If I knew the result in advance, maybe I could avoid such an ending."
Dan Heng sank into his own deep sorrow.
Meanwhile, March 7th seemed carefree.
Excitedly checking the results of the warp.
Star was also eagerly watching beside her.
"It should be the next pull!"
"Ready?"
March 7th nodded vigorously.
As her finger pressed down.
Five golden stars appeared!
And the background pattern was the symbol representing [Erudition].
March 7th recognized it at a glance.
She was instantly overwhelmed with excitement!
"Erudition! It's Erudition!"
"Among the seven five-star characters, only Sister Himeko is Erudition!"
"I got Himeko!"
Himeko, sitting on the sofa, gave March 7th a helpless glance.
Muttering to herself, "What a strange thing to say."
The light faded.
The result was indeed Himeko.
But not the [Himeko] character.
Instead, it was the five-star Light Cone—[Night on the Milkyway].
In the image, Himeko sat casually on the train's head, her white dress tucked beneath her.
Her red hair flowed freely.
She gazed intently at the starry sky.
The stars left circular trails in the galaxy.
"Wow~"
March 7th pressed close to the screen, wishing she could dive in.
"It's Himeko's exclusive Light Cone!"
"So beautiful..."
Stelle nodded in agreement beside her: "This pull, not bad!"
"But... I don't have Himeko yet. I feel like this Light Cone is only worthy of Sister Himeko..."
"Oh, I get it! This is the developer's trick!"
"Give me an exclusive Light Cone first, then force me to spend money to pull the character!"
"Ugh! Even though I see through it, I can't help but want to recharge!"
At that moment.
Himeko came over to remind them: "The new storyline is starting. Do you two want to come and watch?"
"Yes!"
March 7th and Stelle answered in unison.
They immediately put down their phones.
Everyone lined up on the sofa, including Pom-Pom, and began to watch the new storyline intently.
The first to appear was Pom-Pom.
"Dear passengers! The warp route meeting is now officially beginning!"
"First, Pom-Pom would like to thank all the Nameless for resolving the issues at this station, allowing the train to continue racing along the star rails!"
"Next, the conductor will announce the name of the next stop—"
Just as everyone held their breath, waiting for Pom-Pom to reveal the name.
On the screen.
A woman's holographic projection suddenly appeared.
Holding a black umbrella in one hand.
From under the umbrella's edge, a delicate, smiling face emerged.
"Long time no see, everyone on the Star Rail."
"I am Kafka."
"Ah, perfect timing. Everyone is here—well, almost everyone."
She walked past everyone, still holding the umbrella.
"Charming introductions aren't necessary, Stellaron Hunter," Himeko said, her gaze fixed on Kafka with a hint of hostility.
Kafka, unfazed, smiled lightly: "Himeko, right?"
"I apologize for interrupting your gathering, but I believe you'll understand my boldness once you hear my request."
"I need you... to change your destination."
"You've come to the wrong place, Kafka. We have no intention of accepting your request, nor do we wish to get involved with the Stellaron Hunters. It was nice chatting with you. Perhaps one day you'll visit in person, and we can talk then," Himeko's presence was equally commanding.
Kafka smiled faintly: "Everyone, have you heard of [Luofu]?"
Watching this scene.
In the car.
Each person's face showed a different expression.
The live content was directly projected into the car, and the current storyline was also happening in the observation car.
It felt as if the game's plot was unfolding in real life.
Fortunately, the game had subtitles.
This helped distinguish the blurred line between reality and the game.
March 7th exclaimed: "It's that woman!"
"And she's asking us to change our destination... Are we really going to follow her lead and head to Luofu?"
"I don't want to be led by the nose by her!"
Pom-Pom also stood up from the sofa: "Passenger March 7th is right!"
"The Stellaron Hunters are dangerous, and [Yu Ling] is no less formidable."
"Pom-Pom's suggestion is—stick to our original plan and head straight to Penacony!"
Seeing the conductor side with her, March 7th became even more determined.
"If Kafka really appeared on our train like in the storyline..."
"I'd definitely swing my bat at her first!"
Stelle: "Why does it feel like you stole my line?"
At that moment.
The other end of the car suddenly lit up with particle effects.
A holographic projection appeared in everyone's sight.
And this figure was none other than Kafka!
Along with the game's live projection.
Now there were two Kafkas in the car!
Like a mirror image, the two stood facing each other.
March 7th was stunned.
She had just boasted, and now the real Kafka had arrived!
What bad luck!
Stelle, on the other hand, looked left and right.
She licked her lips slightly.
"Two Kafkas? Two moms!"
"Double the joy!"
