Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

"Where's my kimo? Where's my kimo?! Masked Fool, I'm not done with you yet, you just wait!"

Along with the implementation of the second half of the version, the companion quest for Fireworks and Black Swan, "Masked Duet," will also be available.

The story begins with Xing experiencing a memory bubble provided by a black swan.

In the flashback, Hanabi finds Sambo and issues a challenge to Black Swan, asking him to try to solve several puzzle cases he has set.

After following the clues and conducting an investigation, and after the Black Swan gave the wrong answer that Sambo was Hanabi, the real Hanabi finally appeared.

Seeing the two Fools appear together, the Black Swan sighed.

It turns out that I had fallen into the fools' trap from the very beginning.

Honey, why take it so seriously? You seemed to be having a lot of fun—at least I was.

Hanabi did all this not simply to tease the Black Swan, but rather to cooperate with it.

Black Swan shook her head slightly in refusal and pointed out the key issue.

The person who hired you to Pinocchio probably doesn't want you to have clandestine dealings with other forces, right?

Upon hearing this, the audience immediately grasped the key clue.

"What? Hire fireworks?"

"I was wondering why Hanabi seemed to know so much."

"So, Hanabi is really the director?"

"Who could it be, seeking help from the Masked Fool? Aren't they afraid the Fool might come and make things worse?"

"Aha: Children, this is slander!"

"Haha, this reminds me of the scene in Locust Plague where Aha asks the Masked Fool for help. In the end, there were all sorts of people on the ship, but no Masked Fool!"

"Just tell me whether they've arrived or not!"

Seeing that the black swan seemed unwilling to cooperate, Hanabi's smile slowly faded.

[Those who remember... do you think you can leave safely?]

People inexplicably began to gather around, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Just when everyone thought a fight was about to break out, the Black Swan calmly replied.

Why not?

However, the fireworks were just meant to scare her, and just as she was about to leave...

[Let's go, Sang...Sang...Bo? Who is Sang Bo?]

Sangbo, who was standing to the side, also suddenly looked puzzled.

【Wait, where am I... this isn't Belleburg?】

The Black Swan skillfully altered everyone's memories, but fortunately, the memories will be restored after the Black Swan leaves.

I'm sorry, darling, my ideal dance partner... I already have someone in mind.

The segment ended with a wink from the black swan, eliciting screams from the audience.

"So charming, I'm in love!"

"A tiny firework, handle it!"

"This mission felt like Black Swan was playing with Hanabi the whole time, like she was a child."

After the memory bubble segment ends, the scene changes.

In the bar area, Hanabi, having regained her memories, shook her head.

Honestly, I'm not really going to do anything to her.

Forget about the one who remembers, let's talk about me. I've done everything I could to help, and as promised—shouldn't you return my mask?

Sambo's words immediately brought to mind the Fool's Mask.

"Oh? Does that mean Sambo will have a role later in the story?"

"Getting back the mask, it sounds as exciting as getting back some kind of power!"

"Could it be that Sambo also has hidden strength?!"

"Tear ~heart~shoulder~"

"Very likely, after all, it's a top-scoring gun!"

Then Hanabi was seen with her hands on her hips.

[Since when did even the Masked Fool have to keep his promises?]

Sangbo was clearly taken aback upon hearing this.

[Haha, just kidding! I love seeing that expression on your face. Here, take it. The key to the tavern's cellar is in the third barrel on the left. Don't tell them I gave it to you.]

"But Sambo... after all this time, why did you suddenly decide to take back the mask? This isn't like the you I know..."

[Let me guess—the great calamity of Yalilo-VI is coming, isn't it?]

This statement sparked another round of discussion.

"Huh? So that means Sambo is going to retrieve the mask and save Belloberg!"

"Wow, is it really that handsome?"

"The snowstorm should stop soon, and those frozen antimatter legion warriors should be coming out."

"Sambo: Belloberg, I have returned!"

Sambo declined to comment.

However, I really like what you said—"When the show is about to begin, those who don't make it onto the stage can only retreat behind the scenes"—that makes a lot of sense.

Occasionally, I, old Sambo, also feel like making a fool of myself on stage.

Seeing that Sambo didn't deny it in the story, March 7th started to worry about Belloberg's friends.

"What should we do, Hoshi? Do you think Hanabi is telling the truth?"

Xing offered words of comfort.

"Don't panic. The current Belloberg is not like before. They just established diplomatic relations with Xianzhou Luofu not long ago. Besides, if anything happens, we can rush over to help."

Hanabi then added that people could ask her for help if they needed it, while Sambo seemed to keep his distance.

Forget it. Just staying away from Belloberg is a huge help to me. After all, the pleasure Miss Hanabusa seeks... Sambo can't say the same for you.

[I'm leaving now. Please give my regards to Giovanni.]

Okay, I was just saying, don't take it seriously, they're all like that...

Why take it so seriously?

Looking at the lonely firework on the bar, many people seemed to detect a hint of loneliness in his tone.

The story of "Masked Duet" ends here. Players did obtain some clues about the main plot, but that's all.

Next comes the gameplay of the new characters within the game.

Many people excitedly lit the fireworks, ready to take down the last piece of the quantum battleship puzzle.

However, once the team was formed, the performance of the Quantum Battleship did not seem to be ideal.

Putting aside the fictional narrative of group specialization, even in the normal Abyss, one can feel the various shortcomings of the quantum battleship.

The final data showed that the entire Quantum Team's usage rate in Chaotic Memories was only 20%.

What's amazing is that when you break down the Quantum team, the usage rate of each character's team generally exceeds this usage rate.

It can be said that when they come together they are a pile of dung, but when they scatter they are a sky full of stars.

This result also transformed the quantum battleship, once known as the universal solution, into a quantum wreck.

Fireworks: Seele, please don't come looking for me anymore, I'm afraid Longdan will misunderstand!

"Forming and then disintegrating—is this what a quantum shipwreck is all about?"

"No way, my quantum battleships with all 6+5 crew members performed quite well!"

"Is that a quantum warship? That's an armored truck!"

With the arrival of the second half of version 2.0, Lin Guang should also be preparing for the preview recording of version 2.1.

Chapter 257 2.1 Version Preview

The familiar room, the familiar ceiling—Jimi felt a surge of warmth and familiarity.

I remembered that I had asked someone to record me getting closer to the stars, but I never expected that everything would suddenly go black.

For a moment, Jimi almost thought he was going to be sold to the pet market, but thankfully Hanabi was just filling in for him and having some fun.

In retrospect, the place provided by the game's official website is still the best.

Just as Jimi was marveling at this, Sand Gold, the main character of version 2.1, appeared beside him.

"Is this... a preview program? It's really amazing."

Looking down at the changes in his body, Sand Gold seemed to be in a good mood, even chatting casually.

"If you were to use this technology to collaborate with the R&D department, it would be guaranteed to become another game that sweeps the entire universe."

"Hehe, Mr. Sand Gold is joking."

A blurry figure appeared; it was Lin Guang.

"So, is this the answer you needed?"

Jimi watched as the two people in front of him started talking, and it sounded like they were even making a deal.

Could it be that the director of Sand Gold has some kind of connection with the game's official team?

Is this...is this something I can hear?

Startled, Jimi quickly covered his ears and turned away, afraid of hearing something he shouldn't have.

Later, Topa and Xing, two acquaintances, also appeared.

"Wow, it looks like we can have a wonderful dream together."

Upon seeing the two acquaintances appear, Sand Gold greeted them.

Topa sighed helplessly.

"It's no wonder I keep running into you in my dreams. It just reminds me of those stocks I bought based on your advice, which are still stuck in a losing position."

"Hmm? I remember I sent you a few more promising stocks. If you had listened to me and jumped ship in time, you would have turned a profit by now."

"Come on, your luck is completely useless in the stock market, it's not even as good as my family's accounts!"

These gossips from the leader terrified Jimi, causing it to tighten its grip on its ears and curl up completely.

Fortunately, Xing acted as a peacemaker, preventing the two from continuing to expose each other's past misdeeds.

After the recording of the program was completed, Sha Jin woke up from his sleep.

Looking at the ceiling above, Sand Gold reached out and grabbed, a rare ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.

Everything is ready now, Oswaldo, are you ready?

Finally, after players' long wait, the official team released the preview artwork for version 2.1, titled "[Frenziedly Rushing Towards the Abyss]".

In the character illustration, the figures of Huang Quan and Sha Jin almost fill the entire screen.

The information it brought also caused a complete uproar among players.

"Holy crap! It's Yellow Springs and gold dust!"

"So fast? I thought it would be several more versions before the Yellow Springs was released!"

"Wanla, I want to smoke both of these!"

"Wallet: Damaged! It's coming for me!"

"The Yellow Springs Envoy and the Stone Heart Ten-Man Sand Gold—those two must be incredibly powerful!"

Jingyuan: You're right!
