Honkai Star Rail: Developing Mobile Games on Xianzhou

Little Gui's livestream.

"It seems this Trailblaze journey should be quite different from before."

"Welt just said: [On the family's turf, there probably won't be any thrilling adventures]."

"Even Mr. Welt thinks [It's a bit of a pity in my opinion, but since it's a rare chance to relax, let's enjoy it]."

"So our main quest is to vacation!"

"There probably won't be any chasing, wanted lists, or stuff like that, haha..."

Inside the carriage.

Guinaifen specifically changed the BGM to "Take the Journey."

After confirming there were no more dialogue easter eggs.

She went to the Parlor Car.

After sitting down on the sofa.

The conductor's voice came through: "Hey—hey hey—Attention all passengers—"

"The train is about to warp—the train is about to warp—please sit tight and hold on, Pom—!"

It's been a long time since such a formal warp since arriving at Xianzhou.

Guinaifen was a bit excited at the moment.

Looking forward to seeing the full view of Penacony in the next scene, and the Astral Express Crew checking into a hotel under the family's welcome...

Pom-Pom's voice continued.

"Warp will begin shortly."

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

When Pom-Pom said "1," the screen suddenly had an unusual shake!

A scene flashed by!

Guinaifen was stunned.

Before she could see it clearly.

There was another series of flashbacks!

Guinaifen noticed the purple-haired woman from "Sleepless Night"!

And Robin...

It seemed like there were other figures flashing by.

But she didn't have time to see them clearly!

"What, what's going on!?"

However.

Before Guinaifen could express her surprise.

Something even more outrageous happened in the game!

Stelle opened her eyes.

Only to find she was no longer on the train!

But in a dark room instead.

She herself was sitting on the sofa.

Around her were tables, chairs, a television, and... a Dream Pool.

"Gulp..."

Guinaifen couldn't help but swallow hard.

"No way..."

"It can't be, right?"

"This shouldn't be happening!"

"This layout is exactly the same as the hotel room I'm staying in now!"

Stelle stood up from the sofa.

Looking around.

At that moment.

A woman appeared in the room without a sound.

"Another one..."

"Come with me."

When the camera focused on the woman.

Guinaifen gasped sharply!

"It's the woman from 'Sleepless Night'!"

"We actually ran into her so quickly?"

"???"

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

"This is strange, how did we get here directly?"

"Thinking of the lyrics from 'Sleepless Night'... a cycle of despair..."

"March 7th: The first one to see is the mastermind behind the scenes."

...

Now.

Guinaifen was even more bewildered than Stelle in the story!

"Aren't we here on vacation?"

"Mr. Welt! What happened to [no thrilling adventures]?"

"We've just started, and already we're hit with something big?"

"By the way, why is it specifically a hotel room..."

"Little Gui is really panicking right now!"

[Where are we going?]

The purple-haired woman sighed.

She said lightly, "These questions... are meaningless, but I will try my best to explain: This is the boundary between reality and the Memory Zone, a... Dreamscape."

"At this moment, you and I have coincidentally shared the same Dreamscape, appearing in each other's thoughts. This is the Dreamscape's initial greeting to us."

"Don't worry, soon you will wake up from this dream, forgetting everything that happened here, leaving only a faint sense of melancholy."

"There's no need to worry, this kind of forgetting happens every morning, it's a normality we are already accustomed to."

"So, come with me. I will take you home."

Arriving at the room door.

The door creaked open by itself.

Outside was a vast and dimly lit corridor.

At this moment, only the sound of Stelle's heels clicking on the tiles echoed.

Guinaifen couldn't help but comment, "When I came, I thought the decor here was luxurious and stylish..."

"Why does it seem so eerie in this plot now?"

"It's a bit creepy..."

At the corner ahead.

The purple-haired woman was waiting quietly.

As they got closer.

She introduced herself, "Galaxy Ranger, Acheron... that's how they refer to me, you can use it as you like."

Guinaifen's eyes lit up slightly.

"Acheron!"

"Finally, we know the name and identity of this purple-haired woman..."

"She's actually a Galaxy Ranger?"

However.

At this moment, someone in the barrage was very excited.

...

"Nonsense!"

"To hell with that Woowoo Bear!"

"This person isn't a Galaxy Ranger at all!"

"I'm the real Galaxy Ranger! This Acheron is a fake!"

"Damn it!"

"Stealing the title of Galaxy Ranger, this woman is such a cutie!"

...

Guinaifen saw how agitated this person was.

They had sent several comments in a row.

Which caught the attention of many players.

This made Guinaifen a bit uncertain too.

"Was Acheron planning to deceive us from the start?"

"This..."

"Should I still follow her?"

...

Astral Express.

March 7th immediately turned to Old Yang.

"Uncle Yang! Didn't you say this woman could be trusted?"

"She's already deceiving us right from the start!"

Old Yang adjusted his glasses.

Speculating, "Perhaps she has a reason for doing so?"

"Of course."

"Until her true identity is revealed, we should remain skeptical of her."

Old Yang's heart was slightly complicated at the moment.

In the past, seeing a familiar face would always leave him with lingering fear.

But now.

Old Yang actually hoped she was that familiar person.

Because if so, it would mean she could be completely trusted.

Unfortunately.

It was merely a superficial resemblance.

Her name didn't contain the characters for "Lightning."

...

Penacony.

Hotel Lobby.

Although the Dreamscape had reopened content related to Honkai: Star Rail.

Many tourists chose to observe the situation in reality first.

The lobby had a large screen set up for everyone to watch.

Besides tourists and players.

Naturally, there were also many family members paying attention.

The suspicion of [Acheron's identity being fake] immediately drew the attention of the Bloodhound Family members!

"Damn it, what are the inspectors doing!"

"Such an obvious issue with Acheron's identity, and they didn't notice?"

"If it weren't for the plot reminder, she might have smoothly entered the Dreamscape until the Charmony Festival began."

"Her room number information has been found!"

"Brothers nearby, follow me! This woman is probably quite strong!"

The Bloodhounds quickly surrounded Acheron's room.

Inside the room.

Acheron gently touched her forehead.

Clearly!

She hadn't anticipated this situation!

Although she had seen the plot related to herself in the game as she wished.

However.

The plot had just begun.

And her forged identity was already exposed!?

What now?

Was she destined to be a stowaway?

Acheron was somewhat frustrated.

Meanwhile, Black Swan shrugged slightly.

Wearing a gleeful expression.

"See, sometimes a small choice can lead to unknown consequences."

She lightly tapped her toe on the ground.

Her entire body floated into the air.

Pointing towards the room door from a distance.

"What did you do?" Acheron asked.

"Penacony is a galaxy abundant with Memoria, so it's somewhat my domain."

"I can temporarily keep you hidden from the family members."

Black Swan gently landed on the ground.

Smiling as she walked towards Acheron.

"How about it? I told you... there's no harm in making a deal with me."

"Before they discover you, I hope the plot in the game can prove your safety."

"Otherwise, the dance we shared will become very rushed."

Acheron lowered her head slightly.

Feeling somewhat helpless.

She was well aware of her own identity.

For now, it was just a suspicion of identity fraud.

If the plot truly exposed her real identity...

It wouldn't just be the family's Bloodhounds coming after her.

It would likely shake the entirety of Penacony.

"Hmm…"

"What a hassle."

After sensing the receding movements of the surrounding commotion, Acheron sat back down.

She turned her gaze to the live broadcast in front of her.

For now, there was no better option.

She would wait and see how the plot unfolded before making any decisions...
