Chapter 101.2: Arriving at Dragon Hall - How long will it take you to transform into Five-stars?
Scalegorge Waterscape.
On the ship.
Jing Yuan and Dan Heng were deeply contemplating the game's storyline before them.
Indeed.
If it weren't for the game " Honkai: Star Rail," this would have been their first encounter.
Dan Heng adamantly denied being Imbibitor Lunae.
Blade, on the other hand, remained aloof throughout.
After forcing out Dan Heng's Vidyadhara form, he silently left with Kafka. The three of them only briefly appeared on the same screen.
But now.
They were actually on the same ship.
And could watch videos together peacefully!
This scene was perhaps even better than the one in the game.
Jing Yuan thought to himself.
" Bang!"
A soft bumping sound was heard.
Jingliu reminded them, " We're here."
Then she jumped ashore.
Blade followed closely behind.
Jing Yuan and Dan Heng exchanged glances.
Taking advantage of this brief moment alone, Jing Yuan said, " Just like in the game, help me with one last favor as Dan Feng, and from then on, I will revoke your exile and no longer see you as anyone's shadow."
Dan Heng opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But it ultimately turned into two words: " Thank you."
At this moment.
The ship behind them also docked.
The Astral Express Crew, the Stellaron Hunters, Yanqing, and Luocha all disembarked.
The shore was instantly filled with people.
Silver Wolf said, " Why are there so many people?"
" I don't remember this many people coming here."
" Oh, right, this is reality, not the game."
March 7th walked up to her, curiously asking, " Why aren't you continuing to challenge the Forgotten Hall? I'm still waiting for you to clear it and release a character guide!"
Silver Wolf's face showed a hint of annoyance.
She crossed her arms and said, " I had already cleared it, but then I realized that we were only challenging the normal version of the Forgotten Hall."
" Only after clearing the normal version will the higher difficulty stage be unlocked."
" It's called... [Memory of Chaos]!"
" The strength of the enemies in there is on a completely different level than in the normal [ Memory ]."
" And it also periodically refreshes the rewards."
" It's clearly the highest difficulty dungeon designed by Feathered Spirit."
" With the current character levels of the players, it's impossible to clear this stage!"
Hearing Silver Wolf's words.
March 7th looked surprised.
She shook her head and said, " If even you can't beat it, then I shouldn't even bother looking."
" Hmph, give me three more days, and once I've finished training my second team, I'll definitely clear it!"
Kafka said with a smile, " We're about to challenge real enemies now."
" Heh, this is interesting. It's my first time acting with so many people."
Stelle was in the back, holding her phone.
Still watching the livestream.
Because Little Guizi's livestream was also at this point in the story.
Ahead was the Dragonvista Rain Hall.
The statue of the Dragon Lord stood silently.
" The story is just getting to this part..." Stelle muttered to herself.
" However, reality is quite different from the game. Kafka, Silver Wolf, Luocha... these people shouldn't even be here."
Just as everyone was arriving at the statue.
Observing the surroundings with their own thoughts.
A dignified female voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
" Heh, so someone has finally come to this blessed domain..."
The voice echoed, having a soul-piercing effect.
Of course.
This was only effective on ordinary people.
But who among the people present was ordinary?
So at this moment, no one showed any surprise or shock. They were all looking at the turbulent sea in front of them.
Some had sharp eyes.
Some had smiles on their faces.
Some exuded killing intent.
And the voice continued, " You all are really tireless."
" That game must have given you a lot of inspiration."
" Heh..."
" But don't be impatient, [ this humble one ] is not yet ready."
" Please prepare yourselves well during this time and write your will.
Jing Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Phantylia..."
March 7th immediately crossed her arms in displeasure: "This person is so arrogant!?"
"Does she know who came here this time?"
Old Yang said, "Phantylia should have only sensed that someone had entered this blessed domain, but doesn't know who has arrived."
"Otherwise, I don't think she would be so calm."
"Uncle Yang makes sense."
March 7th pinched the flesh on her chin.
"So what now, we just stand here and wait for Phantylia to come out?"
Old Yang pointed to Dan Heng next to the statue and said, "Over there... Dan Heng should be preparing to open a path."
Hearing this.
Silver Wolf immediately and discreetly tapped her wrist.
Releasing an invisible drone.
The corners of her mouth curled into an interested arc.
"The process of opening the sea probably won't be recorded in the game."
"After all, creating such scenes is too costly."
"I'll record this part and use it as a supplement to the story."
"When I post it on the forum, I'll let all the players see this spectacular scene!"
...
At the same time.
In Little Guizi's livestream.
Dan Heng had also joined the main group.
March 7th was unsurprisingly frightened by Dan Heng's appearance.
"Y-you are... Dan Heng?! No way..."
"Y-you're Dan Heng, right? What's with the horns on your head..."
Dan Heng said calmly, "It's a long story, March. It's me."
"No, you really have hidden powers?!"
He's really become a cold-faced little dragon!
Guinaifen showed a motherly smile.
Suddenly.
She thought of a possibility.
She couldn't help but share with the Trailblazers in the livestream: "Speaking of which, our protagonist Trailblazer was stabbed by Cocolia with a lance, and then transformed into a Preservation Trailblazer."
"Dan Heng was stabbed by Blade with an ancient sword, and then transformed into Imbibitor Lunae Dan Heng..."
".So, March 7th, what about you?"
"When will you be stabbed and transform into a five-Star character?"
As soon as this was said.
Excited discussions immediately erupted in the livestream!
...
"Now that you mention it, I'm really looking forward to March 7th's five-Star form!"
"The Astral Express Crew will all be five-Star characters sooner or later."
"After the Space Station storyline, you can choose not to board the train and trigger a speedrun ending easter egg. When the credits roll, the other characters who appear all have the names of the actors, but the line for March 7th is [ ??? ]. March's background must also be extraordinary!"
"March, hurry up and transform!!!"
...
After letting her imagination run wild.
Guinaifen began to rewatch the story.
Jing Yuan said, "Alright, let's put aside the matter of old friends catching up for now."
"When you arrived at the Luofu, you said that the Express Crew was here to solve the Stellaron crisis. At that time, I didn't dare to agree, because I suspected that the Stellaron Hunters had other plans; now it seems that I was overly worried."
"It is true that the Stellaron Hunters have other plans. She sent you here, deliberately escalating the situation, so that you could fight alongside the Xianzhou."
"Now, your sincerity is beyond doubt... The Luofu owes you a debt of gratitude and shouldn't ask for anything more."
"But as stated by Fu Xuan, the appearance of Phantylia has made the situation uncontrollable. As the general of the Luofu, I have to borrow Dan Heng's power, and also ask (everyone) for your full assistance."
Old Yang, as the head of the family, responded first: "Even if the Luofu's crisis is unrelated to the Stellaron, I wouldn't stand idly by with my personality. But my will alone cannot represent the Express."
"Explore, understand, establish, connect... the Trailblazing creed followed by the Express Crew is nothing more than eight words. The journey is difficult, but it is harder than ascending to the heavens to implement them."
"Fear, danger, enemies, death... all kinds of obstacles lie on the journey, and only a few Nameless can go on."
"Whether to move forward or leave, the destination of the Nameless should be chosen by themselves... just like when deciding the destination on the train, personally casting that vote."
March 7th and Stelle both held out their hands.
Their gazes turned to Dan Heng.
As Dan Heng's line.
The options that appeared on the interface naturally represented Dan Heng's choice.
[Reach out]
[Don't reach out]
Guinaifen looked at it.
And decisively chose the [Reach out] option.
"Of course, we have to participate."
"Whether as a member of the Express Crew, or as the former Vidyadhara Dragon Lord of the Luofu, I believe Dan Heng will choose to face and challenge it!"
"That's because this is the essence of [ Trailblazing ]!" echoed the crowd.
