"Am I seeing this right?"
"This is way too cool!"
"You can use guns like that!?"
Guinaifen's eyes were practically sparkling with excitement.
It was as if she had been baptized by Kafka's ultimate skill.
Even though she's a rebel.
Even though she's a bad woman.
You can't deny it—
She's just so cool!
The livestream chat was collectively blown away.
...
[Chat]
"Holy moly! That was insane!"
"Elegant, so elegant!"
"Is the developer actually a Stellaron Hunter? How did they make this so detailed? It's like Kafka's submachine guns are real!"
"I was there. I was the bullet casing."
This move completely shattered the viewers' expectations.
Turns out,
Turn-based games could be like this!
The intricate visuals.
The dazzling effects.
The lifelike characters!
Even without the combat, just showing this ultimate skill animation would be enough to leave everyone in awe.
And this was something you could actively control.
You could unleash it whenever you wanted!
"This is so freaking cool!"
"What game is this!?"
"I want to play! I want to play right now!"
"Streamer, I'm begging you! Tell me the name of the game!"
"Weren't you guys saying you wouldn't play turn-based games earlier?"
"Where's the guy who said turn-based games are outdated!?"
"Haters, speak up!"
...
After the initial wave of excitement.
Guinaifen noticed the flood of comments in the livestream chat.
Everyone was spamming, "What game is this?" "What game is this?" "What game is this?"
The comments were perfectly aligned, forming an unusually neat pattern!
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey, what's the name of this game? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Tatsuke smiled.
He had already prepared an answer while Guinaifen was fully immersed in the game.
For now, he didn't need to reveal that he was the game's developer.
Even though he had the newbie protection, it only prevented him from being observed by powerful entities—it didn't make him invincible.
Tatsuke needed to secure his first bucket of gold and draw some self-defense abilities from the system shop.
He replied, "It's a newly released mobile game. I just stumbled upon it in the app store not too long ago."
"Its name is: Honkai: Star Rail."
As soon as Tatsuke finished speaking.
He immediately opened the system.
On the backend, the download count, which had been in the single digits, suddenly jumped to dozens.
Then hundreds.
In less than half a minute, it skyrocketed to over a thousand!
This was the power of promotion!
And the number was still climbing.
Tatsuke's lips curled into a wide grin!
These were all his potential assets.
At that moment.
Guinaifen waved to the camera:
"Everyone, that's it for today's stream!"
"This game is really interesting! I'm planning to download it on my Jade Abacus and dive deeper into it!"
"Same time tomorrow, we can discuss our progress in the game and stuff."
With that, Guinaifen prepared to end the livestream.
Clearly.
She had already been captivated by Honkai: Star Rail and couldn't wait to download it and play on her own.
However, as soon as she announced her plans, a flood of opposing comments filled the chat.
...
[Chat]
"Don't go, Xiao Guizi! I can't play it myself right now, so I can only watch you play!"
"To be honest, I'm currently interning at a company, so I can only watch the streamer play!"
"Streamer, have some pity on us who can't play the game!"
"Watching Xiao Guizi play is way more fun!"
...
Guinaifen looked helpless.
She leaned closer to the camera and whispered, "Everyone, I can't keep using this guy's Jade Abacus to play the game, you know."
"I want to register my own account!"
Though she spoke softly, Tatsuke heard her.
He calmly said, "It's fine. I feel like this account has a connection with you, so I'll just give it to you."
"See this ID in the bottom-right corner? It represents the player's registration order. This one happens to be."
"Really?"
Guinaifen checked it.
"Then, thank you."
Since she now had a ready-made account, Guinaifen didn't hesitate.
She had already progressed a bit in the story, so she didn't want to start over with a new account.
However.
The viewers in the livestream started to voice their dissatisfaction.
...
[Chat]
"Streamer, is a simple 'thank you' really enough? Seriously?"
"I heard that some game IDs are worth a lot. There's this game company called South Pole Bird that even hypes up IDs to make a profit."
"Streamer, learn some social etiquette! This guy introduced you to the game and even gave you an ID. You should at least give something in return!"
...
Tatsuke glanced at these comments.
Outwardly, he remained calm, but inwardly, he was giving these viewers a big thumbs-up!
This generation of viewers is so considerate!
I love you all so much!
Guinaifen's face turned red.
"O-of course I'm planning to repay him!"
"I was already planning to thank this guy properly!"
"Um… here's 500,000 credits. If you don't mind, please take it!"
"And let's not stay in this creepy place anymore."
"Let's find a nice spot, grab some drinks, and keep playing Honkai: Star Rail!"
