Chapter 82: 1.1 and 1.2 Merger Version!
(...)
[Popularity: 1.08 Million +]
[Premium Points: 124 Billion + ]
[Current Remaining Points: 300 Billion +]
Looking at the game data statistics on the system panel, Lin Yu felt a chill down his spine.
A single Jing Yuan banner almost crippled the recharge system!
Previous revenue was in the billions.
But just on the first day of release, revenue exceeded a hundred billion!
Now his credit point balance was truly just a string of numbers.
He anticipated the game would be popular.
But he didn't expect it to be this popular!
It was more terrifying than a volcanic eruption!
Of course.
Lin Yu hadn't been idle during this time either.
Besides using [ Eye of Insight ] to observe his wives,
(Note: That's what he calls the characters.)
He had also been paying attention to player feedback.
And.
Discovering items suitable for himself in the system shop!
Now that he had 300 billion points, he could basically buy any item in the shop.
[Star Rail Version 1.1 Update Content: Includes playable characters Silver Wolf, Luocha, and Yukong...]
[Price: 1.5 Billion Points]
"Bought."
Lin Yu directly purchased version 1.1.
He spent 15 points of time browsing the content of this version.
The main content was the three new characters, Silver Wolf, Luocha, and Yukong, as well as four companion missions.
—Silver Wolf's [ Punklorde Mentality].
—Luocha's [ A Stranger Knight].
—Bailu's [ Evanesce Like the Morning Dew].
—Yanqing's [ Frosty Blade's Trial].
And a large event [ Winter City Museum Ledger of Curiosities].
Lin Yu's eyes immediately darkened.
"This is it? Who's going to play this?"
"If the guys next door see this, they'll think we can't afford to develop new content!"
"Keep adding!"
"Add another major version's worth of content!"
[ Star Rail Version 1.2 Update Content—1: Trailblaze Mission [ Cloud Tree Canopy , Skyscraper Shelter], roughly about Dan Heng showing his Imbibitor Lunae form, battling the immortal god Phantylia with Jing Yuan and the Trailblaze team... ]
[ 2: New Playable Characters: Blade, Kafka, Luka ]
[ 3: New Event: The Tale of the Fantastic... ]
[ Price: 5 Billion Points ]
He directly purchased the resources for this version as well.
He originally wanted to buy up to version 2.0 directly, but only these two versions' content were available for now.
He opened his favorites list.
These were all the items Lin Yu had found that he wanted during this time!
Now he could buy them all at once.
[ Expand Territory: Further expands the range of [ Territory ]. The expansion range is determined by the host; the larger the range, the more points are consumed. ]
[ [Rules are Made to be Broken!]: From now on, within the [Territory], the host ignores the laws of physics, ignores the law of conservation of energy, and has absolute control! Furthermore, this ability will not be detected by any other unit. ]
[ Dream Master: Creates a dream perfectly controlled by the host, and can forcibly pull any observed object into the dream. ]
Three items.
The first two were to further perfect the rule-based abilities of [ Territory ].
The third ability, combined with [ Eye of Insight], could form a wonderful effect.
For example—forcibly pulling Black Swan into the dream space.
Even if the other party was a Memokeeper, they would have no room for resistance.
In this dream, everything was up to Lin Yu.
Similar to the effect of [ Territory].
The difference was that one was in reality, and the other was in a dream.
The latter didn't have to worry about the risk of exposure.
And he could do some more dangerous and crazy experiments!
"For example, let the corresponding characters personally participate in the preview live broadcast."
"...They can even act out some PVs from outside the game themselves!"
Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
[ All items require a total payment of 160 billion points. Confirm purchase? ]
"Confirm purchase!"
After the transaction was completed.
First, he began to use [ Expand Territory ].
The scene of the Xianzhou Luofu appeared before him like a 3D map.
He continuously expanded the range of the territory, which was originally only his villa.
[ Current point consumption: 1 billion...5 billion...20 billion... ]
It didn't stop until 120 billion points were consumed.
"Expanding the territory range really consumes a lot."
"However, it has already covered the entire Aurum Alley."
With a thought.
Everything in this neighborhood entered his eyes and could be manipulated at will!
He could even change the laws and create life.
Of course, Lin Yu wasn't idle enough to play God.
"Let this neighborhood continue to develop at its current pace."
"Of course, if there is anything or anyone unpleasant, let it disappear."
Now, it was time to implement the content of the new version.
Lin Yu noticed.
The comments under his online account had been flooded!
Everyone was urging him to update quickly!
"Hmm...let's set a small goal first."
"Earn enough points to turn the entire Xianzhou Luofu into my [ Territory ]."
"...After that, the entire Xianzhou."
"And after that, the galaxy, the universe..."
......
Guinaifen's livestream.
Because of the end of the main quest, Guinaifen began to explore other things.
In the information list.
An important person was actually ignored by Guinaifen!
[ Pom-Pom: Are you there? ]
[ Pom-Pom: Are you there? ]
[ Pom-Pom: Hello? ]
Seeing these messages, Guinaifen felt bad!
"Oh no, how could I have ignored Pom-Pom's messages! No wonder I haven't gotten a double gold in so long!"
"Pom-Pom, don't panic, tell me what's going on!"
However, the protagonist's reply only had one option—[ Not here ]
Guinaifen could only helplessly choose this one.
Pom-Pom didn't seem to have time to joke with the Trailblazer.
He sent another message.
[ Pom-Pom: The train is weird, it's like there's something invisible... ]
[ Pom-Pom: Come back and take a look!!! ]
[ Calm down, I'll be right back ]
[ om-Pom: Come back quickly! If this isn't resolved, the train won't be able to leave! ]
Returning to the train.
Guinaifen immediately saw the timid Pom-Pom, the conductor!
Standing in the center of the observation car, looking around, as if afraid that some monster would suddenly rush out and snatch it away.
"Trailblazer, you're here!"
Pom-Pom looked like he had seen a savior.
"Where's the weird thing?"
"I don't know, but it's on the train! No one knows Akivili's train better than Pom-Pom. There's something strange on the train, Pom-Pom can feel it!"
"You come and look too, we have to find it."
Guinaifen scratched her head.
This train car was so big, but at first glance, there was nothing!
The gramophone, no problem!
The omni-synthesizer, no problem!
The potted plant, no problem!
Then she could only talk to Welt and Himeko.
"Mr. Welt, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Welt replied: "No. I'm quite sensitive to danger and hostility, but there's no such feeling on the train."
"The galaxy is so big, maybe some kind of invisible creature has come to our train..."
He continued to ask: "What is the weird thing that the conductor is talking about?"
"I don't know, Pom-Pom can't say either, he just has a feeling."
"But when it comes to the train, I tend to believe Pom-Pom's intuition."
Himeko's answer was similar.
"Since Pom-Pom is so worried, there must be something on the train."
"Check the car to see if there's anything strange."
Guinaifen continued to wander around the car.
With her confidence strengthened, soon, a light next to the potted plant caught her attention.
After getting closer.
A broken mirror appeared.
"There really is something strange!"
[ A mirror has attracted your attention...you feel confused— ]
[ Why am I so good-looking? ]
