In Xiao Guizi's live stream room.
"Folks, let's put the exploration of [Simulated Universe] on hold for now."
"Although the rewards for this mode are generous, it's still quite challenging for us. It's better to wait until our characters' levels and equipment are up to par before tackling it."
"What Xiao Guizi is most curious about right now is—"
"With the crisis at the space station over, does the protagonist boarding the train mean the game has been cleared?"
The night was deep.
But Guinaifen was already completely immersed in the game, unable to extricate herself!
And in the live stream room.
20,000 viewers were following along with her, watching the game's storyline unfold!
…
[Chat]
"20,000 people at 3 a.m., Xiao Guizi, you've become a gold-tier streamer, huh?"
"I'm here to watch the Trailblazer's journey."
"Today, I must see Xing board the train, or I won't sleep!"
"Getting ready to commemorate the game clear."
...
Many shared the same thoughts as Guinaifen.
This game was developed against the backdrop of the Legion's invasion disaster that occurred at the space station.
After defeating the Doomsday Beast, the protagonist received an invitation to board the Star Rail.
What happens next is what's currently being experienced in reality.
There shouldn't be any new content after this.
The rest should just be some side quests at the space station and helping Herta test the Simulated Universe.
Inside the vast space station.
The low and melancholic background music echoed.
Not to mention Xiao Guizi, who was currently playing, even the viewers in the live stream room felt as if they were there.
The feeling of facing an unclear future, both lost and expectant, was almost palpable!
"Even retracing known routes can yield new discoveries; that's the meaning of [Trailblazing]."
Facing the Trailblazer's questions, Himeko answered everything.
Like a gentle and patient teacher, she said:
"In the past, we've docked at several worlds, and in the future, we'll continue to do so—there are countless next stops in the galaxy."
"The sea of stars is not only my dream but also the train's wish. I yearn to explore new worlds, and the train hopes to return to its past routes."
After the conversation with Himeko.
Guinaifen chose [I want to board the train].
The BGM instantly started playing!
[The way]
[To celebrate]
[I'll be waiting]
[Till we make it...]
The usually lively Guinaifen quieted down at this moment.
Immersed in this indescribable atmosphere.
It felt as if her soul had also embarked with the train.
Bidding farewell to everything at the space station, under the watchful eyes of Asta and Arlan, it set off into the vast universe.
[Oh～～]
[We will see]
[Come with me take the journey]
...
[Chat]
"The background music is godly!"
"Wow, I'm downloading Star Rail right now!"
"I'm crying! I really want to be a Nameless!"
"If not for life's pressures, who wouldn't want to be a free traveler?"
"I can only entrust my dreams to this game now."
...
Guinaifen's eyes also welled up with tears.
Of course, it definitely wasn't because she was sleepy!
But because she remembered her childhood experiences of drifting from place to place.
Living under others' roofs, struggling for food and clothing.
Fortunately, after arriving at the Xianzhou, things finally took a turn for the better.
Now, she wasn't exactly famous and wealthy, but she had achieved some success.
The usually cheerful and enthusiastic Guinaifen, thinking of these things, suddenly felt a bit melancholic and down.
It's all because the background music was so rich!
It pulled back all the memories of the past in an instant.
Suddenly.
The gloom on Guinaifen's face vanished.
Replaced by surprise!
"Thank you [Cat Petting Envoy 8190] for the Tihuan Storm! Boss, you're so generous!"
"[Quickly check out this new thing that appeared on the train]... No problem, boss, I'll look into it right away!"
On the train.
A pair of crystal-clear eyes were gazing at the Trailblazer.
"Hey! I'm talking to you, hey!"
Wearing a tall red hat, with two long ears drooping on either side.
Guinaifen quickly explained, "Boss, this isn't just some thing!"
"This is a magical creature that appears every time during [Warp]."
"Whether you get a gold or purple drop has a lot to do with it!"
"Xiao Guizi thinks this little guy must be a unique creature on the train."
Sure enough.
The little creature's introduction confirmed Guinaifen's speculation.
"I'm the train conductor, Pom-Pom. If you encounter any problems on the train, feel free to come to me."
…
[Chat]
"So it's the train conductor? No wonder it's always guarding the door during warps."
"Such a fierce mascot!"
"So the Star Rail is this big inside? It's quite luxurious!"
"Well, now I've also boarded the train!"
...
Guinaifen curiously explored the train.
Besides the outer observation car, there were also passenger rooms inside the train.
However, only Dan Heng's room, which was the archive room, and March 7th's room were accessible.
Dan Heng's room was simply a futon on the floor.
March 7th's room, on the other hand, was much cozier.
Photo walls, sofas, computer desks and chairs, plush toys, a soft bed... everything you could want.
The two rooms' styles were in stark contrast!
Guinaifen thoroughly searched March 7th's room, not missing any glowing points, and declared she could live there for a year!
At that moment.
The train conductor's voice came from the car.
"Hey—hey hey—"
"Attention all passengers, attention all passengers."
"The train is about to warp. Please gather in the train hall immediately."
Guinaifen was stunned.
A few seconds later, her face lit up with joy!
"Folks, did you hear that!"
"This game isn't over! We're about to participate in a warp!"
"We might even reach the next destination!"
"What game clear? The journey has just begun!"
To be continued…
