The Gamer who traveled to Honkai: Star Rail

Hearing the chatter and seeing the crowd gathering toward the docks, the group of four instantly became interested.

Pei Guang: "Looks like we've got a new quest!"

Stelle: "Let's go! I wonder what the rewards will be?"

Bailu: "I hope someone treats us to a huge feast!"

She said it with a determined tone, but March 7th had other concerns. "What's the corporation doing here?"

Pei Guang shrugged. "Who knows? Could be one of those 'company tries to buy out the locals, but the people resist' kind of stories."

Bailu: "Hurry! Let's go check it out. If someone gets hurt, that'd be bad."

Bailu's first instinct as a healer was to make sure no one got injured. But aside from that, she was just as curious about the commotion. After eating so much, a bit of excitement would be a good way to digest.

March 7th: "Let's go! Honestly, we've been walking around all day, and nothing interesting has happened. But the moment we finish eating with Ah Guang, something exciting pops up! As expected of our invincible Ah Guang!"

Stelle: "That's right! Invincible Ah Guang!"

Bailu: "Invincible!"

Pei Guang: "…"

He didn't even want to argue anymore. Whatever they wanted to call him was fine—just as long as they didn't chant that in front of enemies, giving him some kind of cursed debuff.

And so, the four of them—Aurum Alley's "Four Harbingers of Trouble"—followed the crowd toward the docks. Before they even arrived, they could already hear a loud, commanding female voice clashing against a sharp and condescending male voice.

Had Dan Heng, Seele, or Silver Wolf been here, they would have instantly recognized the woman.

It was none other than Sushang of the Xianzhou Yaoqing's Cloud Knights.

After parting ways with Dan Heng's group, she had temporarily joined the Cloud Knights of Luofu, making quite a name for herself. Having just returned from a campaign, she was taking a break and wandering through Aurum Alley—only to stumble upon something that deeply irritated her.

This girl was overflowing with a sense of justice—wherever she saw injustice, she would draw her sword to help. As soon as she arrived, she saw the corporation's people bullying the dock workers and immediately jumped out to argue with them.

However, the corporation representative sneered at her. "Hey, where did this wild girl come from? What does this have to do with you?"

Sushang stood her ground. "As a Cloud Knight, how could I stand by and do nothing when a conflict breaks out on the docks? And for the record, I'm not 'hey,' and I'm not a 'wild girl.' My name is Sushang!"

Just as she declared this, Pei Guang started clapping. "Well said! Now that's a familiar-sounding line!"

"Who's there?!"

Both Sushang and the corporation workers turned to look in his direction. At this moment, the crowd was simply watching the drama unfold, but upon hearing his voice, they instinctively parted to make way.

When Sushang saw the four people standing there, her eyes widened.

Back when she fought against the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, she had worn her Cloud Knight armor and fought alongside the troops, so she had seen Pei Guang from afar. She had also traveled with Dan Heng, often hearing him and Seele talk about Pei Guang.

She had never had the chance to properly meet him or introduce herself. But of all places, of all times—she never expected to run into him here. The great benefactor of Xianzhou.

That's right—what Pei Guang and his group had done on the Xianzhou wasn't exactly a secret among the Cloud Knights. Even without mentioning everything else, just the act of reversing the Mara-struck transformation had earned the gratitude of countless soldiers.

It wasn't just saving their lives. It was giving them a second chance.

Feeling the eyes of both sides on him, Pei Guang smirked slightly, stepping forward while pulling out a folding fan—who knew from where.

"First—never act recklessly.

Second—never let evil go unpunished.

Third—the mission must be completed beautifully and flawlessly.

I am Pei Guang, the Wandering Swordman of the Galaxy, here to deliver justice!"

As he spoke, he struck what he believed to be a stylish pose and finally drew out a wooden sword, holding it high.

The entire scene, which had been on the verge of turning violent, suddenly went completely silent.

It was awkward. Utterly, indescribably awkward…. A full-grown adult actually did that?!

But Sushang? She clapped. 

"You must be Trailblazer Pei Guang, right? I've heard of you and even seen you from afar. That was amazing."

Everyone turned to stare at her in shock. Pei Guang's antics were already embarrassing enough, but she actually thought it was good?

At this moment, the crowd realized that Sushang was a person untouched by the harsh realities of the world—a pure, untainted soul.

Meanwhile, on the corporation's side, the business representative looked at Pei Guang with an expression like he was staring at a complete idiot. "Who are you people? Are you getting involved in this too?"

Pei Guang didn't even get a chance to respond.

Stelle stepped forward, her voice full of energy. "Since you asked so sincerely!"

March 7th immediately caught on, stepping up beside her. "Then we'll be merciful and tell you!"

Stelle: "To protect the world from devastation!"

March 7th: "To protect the peace of the universe!"

Stelle: "To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

March 7th: "The adorable and charming girls!"

Stelle: "The Galactic Baseballer of the Banks!"

March 7th: "The Galactic Archer of Justice!"

Stelle & March 7th: "We are the Trailblazers who soar through the stars! Trailblazing! The path of the Trailblazer never ends!"

Although Bailu hadn't memorized any lines, seeing how Pei Guang had already made such a dramatic introduction, and Stelle and March 7th had joined in with their antics, she suddenly felt that if she didn't say something, she'd be left out.

So, Bailu stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and declared loudly, "That's right! Awoooo!!!"

Pei Guang: "Hiss… Why do I feel like I just got abandoned?"

Stelle: "Should we do it all over again, the four of us? But seriously, Ah Guang, that thing you taught us before—it's really exhilarating to say out loud!"

These lines were something Pei Guang had taught them back when they first arrived in Luofu and encountered the fake Tingyun. They hadn't had a chance to use them before, but now that the opportunity had finally come, Stelle wasn't about to let it slip by.

Since Pei Guang had made such a flashy entrance, there was no way she and March 7th were going to fall behind!

However, as Stelle, March 7th, and Bailu shouted their lines, the atmosphere at the scene only got colder. The crowd collectively wondered—who are these cringe-inducing people?

But Sushang? She was completely unfazed. Instead, she immediately turned to the onlookers and loudly introduced them.

"Fellow citizens! These are no ordinary people—they are from… from—"

March 7th: "The Astral Express!"

Sushang: "That's right! They are the Trailblazers from the Astral Express! They were the ones who provided the materials that helped the High Elder reverse the effects on the Mara-struck!"
