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

Although the price seems a bit high, considering the scale of this project—bringing human consciousness from all over the universe—one hundred million is fine!

Within the Interstellar Peace Film Company.

After a busy day, Mr. Jimi returned to his room, looking somewhat troubled, likely due to work.

Although Jimi is the mainstay of Star Peace TV's ratings, this is not entirely due to Jimi hosting the show.

The role of a presenter is almost being optimized by AI!

Jimi is already the last real bird host in the company, so isn't he the mainstay?

With a worried look on her face, Jimi is now afraid that one day she will receive a notice from the company telling her to come to the company tomorrow to pack her things and leave.

The bird, now middle-aged, is facing an unemployment crisis!

I have birds above me and birds below me, what am I going to do!

No way, I'm going to send out resumes as soon as I get back. Humph, this lousy company wants to fire me? I'll fire you all first!

However, when you open a job search app, you'll find that there are very few host jobs left, as AI has taken over most of the market, and the salaries offered are much lower than they are now.

Finally, Jimi fell into a deep sleep, and in his sleep he even dreamed that he was sold into the pet market!

Seeing that she was about to be put into the cage, Jimi couldn't help but cry out in alarm!

"No...no—!"

Suddenly opening its eyes, Jimi breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing it was a dream. It flapped its wings on its chest, but then noticed something was amiss.

The surrounding environment is like a studio, and I am now sitting in the host's seat.

Where am I? Wasn't I just submitting resumes in bed?

Before Jimi could react, Lin Guang's transformed, magnetic voice came from somewhere.

"Welcome, Mr. Jimi! I've long admired your name, and it's an honor to finally have the opportunity to collaborate with you today!"

The sudden appearance of the mysterious voice startled Jimi, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Jimi could only ask.

"Uh... I still don't know where I am. I was just sleeping. By the way, who are you?"

A string of questions filled Jimi's mind, but Lin Guang didn't answer directly, only smiling gently.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jimi, there are still a few guests on their way. I will explain the reasons to you all later."

How many other guests are there?

Just as Jimi was wondering, two chibi-style figures appeared in the guest seats of the studio: Jing Yuan and Yu Kong!

Upon noticing the change in her surroundings, Yu Kong frowned and immediately considered drawing her weapon for defense. However, when she saw the chibi version of Jing Yuan beside her, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"General, what are you doing here? What happened? How did your body become..."

Jing Yuan, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. After seeing the chibi version of Yu Kong, Jing Yuan's gaze, like that of a curious child, began to look at himself from all angles.

"Hmm, interesting. It seems that this is some kind of dream aggregate, not our real bodies. I suppose you, Yu Kong, also entered this place while you were asleep."

Just as Yu Kong was pondering, Ji Mi, who was standing next to him, saw someone in the same situation as him and quickly greeted them.

"Hi, hello both of you. I'm Jimi, the host from Interstellar Peace Film and Television Company. May I ask who you two are...?"

"Luofu Immortal Ship Heavenly Ship Division Headquarters, Mr. Jimi, forcibly pulling people into a dream, is this some kind of tactic of your company?"

With heightened vigilance, Yu Kong pointed the finger directly at Jimi's company, and the imposing tone in his voice made Jimi flap its wings repeatedly.

"No...no, I'm a victim too!"

Jing Yuan then spoke up to defuse the situation.

"This matter should have nothing to do with Mr. Jimi, otherwise he would at least know our identities. Mr. Jimi, let me introduce myself. I am Jing Yuan, and I currently serve as the general of the Luofu Immortal Ship."

The casually uttered word "General" sounded like a thunderclap to Jimi's ears.

General Xianzhou, isn't that the Hunting Commander?

Wait, what's going on with this dream? How come even the Hunting Order Envoy can be forcibly pulled in?

Just as Jimi was surprised, the last guest also arrived in the dream.

However, thanks to Lin Guang's arrangement, Silver Wolf is currently in the shadows of the dream, and no one has noticed her yet.

"What the heck? What did they give me?"

In the previous moment of memory, he was so tired from playing games all night that he seemed to have lost his grip on his phone and it hit his face. When Silver Wolf opened his eyes again, he found himself here.

Looking at the three chibi-style figures talking in front of him, Silver Wolf recognized Jing Yuan and Yu Kong among them.

Hmm, she's quite cute.

Wait a minute, could I end up like that too?

Just as she was wondering what was going on, Lin Guang's magnetic electronic voice rang out again.

"Welcome everyone to the recording site of the Honkai Impact: Star Railway 1.1 version preview program."

Upon hearing the voice speak about the Starry Sky Railway, Jing Yuan's smile became meaningful.

It seems the game's official team has taken action.

I was forced to record the preview of Chapter 71!

In the dream space, as Lin Guang spoke, a script appeared in front of each of them, which introduced the overall activities of version 1.1 and a general program schedule.

Jing Yuan was somewhat surprised after picking it up and examining it; he hadn't expected to find out about the next version's events in advance!

Silver Wolf, lurking in the shadows, was also watching with great interest. No wonder he wanted to drag himself into it; apparently, the next version would be his character pool!

Yu Kong glanced at the script in his hand and said with some doubt.

"You dragged us into this dream world just to record a preview of the game version. Why didn't you just extend an invitation openly?"

If it's for the purpose of promoting a game show, the other party could simply extend a recording invitation in real life. Judging from the previous promotional collaboration between Starry Sky Railway and Luofu, this wouldn't be difficult.

Lin Guang could only smile helplessly at this. He knew that inviting someone through the real world would be too troublesome, so it was better to just pack it up in the dream world.

"Miss Yu Kong, we mean no harm. We just need you to record the preview program according to the script. Once it's finished, you'll be able to return to reality. Of course, that includes your appearance fee as well."

Upon hearing the words "appearance fee," Jimi, who was standing nearby, immediately became restless.

"Um... how much is the appearance fee exactly? Of course, I'm just asking to get some information!"

"Haha, you will certainly not be shortchanged in this regard, please rest assured."

Seeing that the other party indicated that they would not treat him unfairly, Jimi was immediately caught in a dilemma.

It's not really appropriate for someone who's still a full-time employee of Interstellar Peace Films to become a host on other programs.

However, given the level of service they provide, the reward must be substantial...

"But... I'm still an employee of Interstellar Peace Films. It's fine if I earn some extra money on the side without anyone knowing, but your program seems to be going to be broadcast publicly. If the company finds out that I'm taking on side jobs..."

“Mr. Jimi, you didn’t take on any private jobs. We forced you to come and record the show. Do you understand? You had no choice.”

Upon hearing Lin Guang's explanation, Jimi's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Ah, yes, yes! Forced, I was forced!"

With this explanation, Jimi felt completely at ease and could confidently start watching the script.

As for Yu Kong, although he really wanted to ask what would happen if they didn't record the program according to the other party's requirements, the current situation was clearly not suitable for a confrontation.

After all, this wasn't Luofu, but a dream controlled by the other party.

Just as she was about to ask Jingyuan what his plans were, she saw Jingyuan looking at the script with a serious expression, eager to try it out.

"General, it seems you're already planning to participate in the recording."

"Haha, Yu Kong, don't be nervous. I have a pretty good idea of ​​why the game chose to pull us directly into the dream."

Seeing that Jingyuan already felt there was no problem, Yukong had no choice but to pick up the script provided by the game and start reading it.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it! What kind of content is on it!

Star Core Hunter Silver Wolf can actually appear as a game character? What kind of game is this? It's causing so much harm!

Huh? Why do I have my own game character?

As someone from an older generation who doesn't play games much anymore, the game content, which is exactly the same as reality, is really quite shocking. Fortunately, I don't have many tasks to complete according to the script.

Just after the three of them finished preparing, the recording of the preview program officially began.

When the Silver Wolf appeared from the shadows according to the script, Yu Kong finally understood why it was inconvenient to record the show in real life.

"Star Core Hunter, Silver Wolf!"

Jimi, standing nearby, immediately cried out in alarm. What kind of interstellar joke is this? If the company finds out that he's recording a show with a bounty hunter of the Star Core, his life will be over!

At this moment, Jimi's face was full of expressions, revealing a few fears about the appearance of the Star Core Hunter, a few helplessness at being coerced, and a hint of desire for the appearance fee on the show!

That expression seemed to be a declaration of loyalty to someone: Boss, I had no choice, they forced me to do it!

"Alright, alright, do you think I wanted to come here? I was just playing a game, and suddenly I got dragged here by the official team. What kind of situation is this?"

Silver Wolf maintained his indifferent tone.

Jingyuan, standing to the side, was not surprised to see Yinlang appear, since Yinlang's character pool had just appeared in the script, so how could the main character be missing?

Now, Jing Yuan was even more curious about the other party's methods, as they were able to capture even the elusive Star Core Hunters for advance observation!

Normally, it would be hard to imagine these people appearing on one screen at the same time!

And now they've all turned into cute chibi-style characters, obediently recording preview programs for people!

The moment the recording of the program was completed, Lin Guang looked at the recorded footage and said with satisfaction.

"Thank you again for your support and cooperation with the preview program. Your consciousness will be returned to its original state shortly, and your appearance fees will also be transferred. Sweet dreams."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's consciousness returned to their own bodies.

When Silver Wolf opened his eyes again from the sofa, it was already the morning of the next day.

The phone that had been thrown in his face had been taken away and placed on the table. He was wearing the coat that Kafka had draped over his shoulders.

The sizzling sound of frying oil came from the kitchen not far away, where Kafka, wearing an apron, was preparing breakfast.

"You're awake, Silver Wolf. Why were you playing so late last night? You even fell asleep on the sofa."

Silver Wolf untied his headband and, while retying his disheveled silver hair, said something.

"Last night, it seemed like my consciousness was taken to a room by the Starry Sky Railway officials, and we even recorded some kind of game preview program."

Upon hearing this, Kafka finished cleaning up the kitchen and came to Silver Wolf. She carefully touched Silver Wolf's forehead and even checked the temperature of her own head.

"Kafka, I'm not out of my mind, it's true!"

"Okay, okay, I was really worried about you."

After waking up, Yu Kong immediately rushed to the Shence Mansion, where Jing Yuan was waiting at the door as expected.

"General, now that you're here, it means that what happened in last night's dream was real."

"Yes, I was already surprised that the game's plot development was consistent with reality, but I never expected there to be such methods now. I've never seen anything like it in my life!"

Seeing that Yu Kong had also begun to explore the Starry Sky Railway, Jing Yuan ultimately decided to inform him about the in-game matters in advance.

Finally, let's look at Gimi's side.

The first thing Jimi did upon waking up in the morning was to open his private account.

When Jimi saw the extra eight figures in his bank account, his bird beak practically twisted into a grin.

After recording the preview program, Lin Guang also sent out version 1.1 of the preview program trailer.

When the Silver Wolf appeared in the promotional image, it sparked another wave of discussion among players.

Chapter 72 Firefly Trapper

When Lin Guang released the preview of the 1.1 version program, the images of Silver Wolf and Rakshasa on the version's artwork immediately ignited the emotions of the audience.

"It's here! We've finally got news about version 1.1!"

"Wow, it's a wolf cub! My favorite wolf cub!"

"Look at the character art, there are a few little silver wolves next to the silver wolf, they're so cute!"
