Honkai Star Rail: Developing Mobile Games on Xianzhou

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Deal Struck with Feathered Spirit! Kafka Prepares for Luofu Journey



Kafka began crafting their message carefully. Although they couldn't know who exactly was on the other side of the screen, as long as this person had their own thoughts and feelings like any individual, it would make things easier.

"Xianzhou? I'm here on Xianzhou too."

"I never expected to find someone like you, Feathered Spirit, aboard Xianzhou! It's truly delightful!"

"Might our paths cross by chance? Or perhaps near your location? If that happens, I'd be so thrilled I wouldn't be able to sleep."

Instead of directly asking where the person resided, Kafka subtly probed for their whereabouts through indirect questions—a testament to their understanding of human psychology!

As anticipated, Feathered Spirit promptly replied, "Ha ha ha, I'm actually on [Luofu], don't let your imagination run wild, Little Sister."

Luofu!

Luofu!

Kafka raised an eyebrow at Silver Wolf, implying that this person wasn't as elusive as they thought.

Silver Wolf licked his lips, sensing significant progress.

"Keep going, Kafka! Continue!"

Just as Kafka prepared to type her next message, Feathered Spirit unexpectedly sent another reply.

"Little Sister, would you like to meet me in person?"

"!!"

Even Kafka was slightly taken aback.

She didn't expect such directness from their target!

Skipping straight past preliminary steps, they had rapidly reached the most crucial point!

Both Kafka and Feathered Spirit were Stellaron Hunters, among the galaxy's most dangerous individuals!

Could Feathered Spirit genuinely believe he was conversing with an innocent young girl? Once the true identity of Feathered Spirit was uncovered, Kafka had at least a hundred ways to control him and extract how he knew so many secrets, ultimately leading to the creation of that game.

The answer required no further thought.

Kafka typed a single word in the chat window— "Yes."

"Then come to the Exalting Sanctum first. I'll guide you on the next steps once you arrive. After all, I'm just an ordinary person; encountering any dangerous elements wouldn't be ideal. Please understand."

"Of course, absolutely. Feathered Spirit, do take care to protect your privacy, ensuring not to attract attention from hazardous individuals," Kafka kindly reminded.

"Ha ha ha, thanks for the reminder! Looking forward to your message."

Kafka exited the chat interface, her smile now uncontainable.

Silver Wolf took a deep breath, still somewhat incredulous.

"That's all it takes?"

"Just that simple. As he said, he's just an ordinary person."

Noticing Kafka's excited gaze, Silver Wolf hesitated before asking, "Kafka, when you find him, could you please try not to harm her?"

"Why?"

"As a gamer, I respect developers like him. This game is truly exceptional, and I'm curious about that limited-time character too."

"Alright, I promise you, Silver Wolf."

To Kafka, Feathered Spirit was merely an ordinary individual; handling them would be as effortless as snapping her fingers. With a simple Vocal Charm, she could easily control their actions.

The greatest challenge in this operation would likely be smoothly infiltrating the Luofu Xianzhou. However, stealth was second nature to Kafka.

Immediately, she closed the game on her phone, ready to personally meet this developer.

Meanwhile, Silver Wolf prepared to hack into the Xianzhou's system, facilitating Kafka's mission.

If not for her lack of infiltration skills, she would have eagerly taken Kafka's place to meet that person herself.

The Stellaron Hunters were highly efficient and required minimal preparation.

However, unbeknownst to them, every move they made was clearly visible to Lin Yu.

Inside the villa, Lin Yu closed the computer and glanced at the sparse garden.

As soon as Silver Wolf sent the private message, Lin Yu activated the Eyes of Prying ability, pinpointing the mastermind behind the scenes through this communication.

"Ah, Silver Wolf and Kafka. I anticipated the Stellaron Hunters' interest in me long ago."

In the past, Lin Yu definitely wouldn't have responded. If they had found him, he would undoubtedly be treated like a mere plaything.

But now, having established his Territory, Lin Yu couldn't wait for them to come seeking him!

"This villa is indeed too large; it could certainly use a few maids to maintain it."

"The fish has taken the bait, and now all that remains is for you to reel it in."

"After all, the true hunter often disguises themselves as the prey."

On the Astral Express, Pom-Pom was cleaning the train carriages. Upon reaching the Parlor Car, she spotted Himeko and Old Yang engrossed in playing a game together.

Surprised but not overly concerned, Pom-Pom continued inspecting every nook and cranny within the carriage.

Meanwhile, both Himeko and Old Yang were fully immersed in the game!

From the perspective of children embarking on their Trailblazing journey, it offered a unique experience.

For instance, landing on Jarilo-VI and encountering the local, Sampo.

Or engaging with Jepard the Silvermane.

After clarifying their identities, they proceeded to Belobog, the only city, to meet its grand protector.

Although Little March's group sometimes acted impulsively, fortunately, their journey went smoothly.

Himeko occasionally chimed in with comments, while Old Yang watched with keen interest, reminiscing about his own youthful adventures.

Before them now appeared Qlipoth Fort.

"The current Guardian is Cocolia Rand, who oversees all major decisions within the city," Gepard explained.

Seeing this name caught Old Yang off guard.

Cocolia? The image of a blonde woman flashed through his mind. He then forced a casual smile, dismissing it as likely just a coincidence.

The scene shifted, and the game's storyline moved inside Qlipoth Fort.

A woman was passionately arguing with someone on a raised platform, presumably the grand protector.

"...but such sacrifices serve no purpose; you cannot—"

The grand protector, imposing and authoritative, interrupted her, "You may stand down, Bronya. Our guests have arrived."

Heh, this grand protector also has blonde hair.

Although their appearances were somewhat similar, the demeanor of this Belobog version seemed more reserved and cold.

Smiling, Old Yang prepared to click for the next dialogue line.

But suddenly, his hand froze mid-air.

Wait!

What did she call that girl?!
