[Thank you for writing the third song for me—"Had I Not Seen the Sun."]
[Although the style is different from the first two, I really like it~]
On the rooftop at the edge of Dreamweaver's boundary,
Robin leaned against the railing.
She was dressed in a casual shirt, looking relaxed and at ease.
While sending a message, a knowing smile appeared on her face.
If anyone had seen the content on her phone, they would have been shocked!
Because,
the person Robin was messaging,
was none other than the legendary figure—Yu Ling!
Countless players and Pathstriders across the universe had been searching for Yu Ling himself.
Yet, no trace of him could be found!
But here was Robin,
with his personal contact information!
Even able to chat with him!
It would be hard for anyone to believe if word got out!
[I'm glad you like it.]
[Only you can bring out the true essence of these three songs through your voice.]
Seeing Yu Ling's reply, Robin smiled sweetly once more.
She knew,
He wasn't just being polite; he truly believed it.
After sending back a shy emoji,
Robin typed another line.
[Actually, there's something I've wanted to say for a while.]
[The outside world sees you as if you were a deity, observing everything from above the mortal realm.]
[But I feel that you are so gentle and thoughtful, just like a close friend by my side…]
Soon,
Yu Ling replied.
[If it's Miss Robin, I think you'd understand.]
[As a renowned singer across the galaxy, many see you as untouchable, like a goddess.]
[No matter how powerful our abilities are, in the end, we are still just ordinary people.]
[And it's precisely because of this that we can create works that resonate with and are understood by most people.]
Robin nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed,
The story of Honkai: Star Rail is rooted in everything within this universe.
But if you set aside the godlike effects of foreseeing the future, exposing the secrets of major factions, and so on…
At its core,
It is a positive, uplifting, and inspiring work.
The values it conveys throughout align with people's definitions of justice and kindness.
[You really are as gentle as I imagined.]
Yu Ling replied with a shy emoji, just like hers.
Then,
Yu Ling suddenly asked.
[So, would you be interested in joining a live stream for a character introduction?]
Robin was startled.
Character introduction?
Live stream?
Suddenly,
She seemed to realize something!
[Could it be… my brother's?]
[That's right.]
Participating in Yu Ling's live stream would undoubtedly be an extraordinary experience!
Robin quickly took a deep breath.
She adjusted her emotions.
With excitement, she typed her reply on her phone.
[Okay!]
[Yu Ling: Then, let's prepare a bit. We'll start in half a system hour.]
[Huh? So soon?]
[Yu Ling: It's just a live stream in front of players across the universe. You'll do fine.]
Robin immediately covered her face.
She chuckled helplessly.
If it were any other program asking to collaborate with her, they would usually schedule it months or even years in advance…
And,
It would require going through various reviews before the collaboration could be finalized!
But with Yu Ling,
He just casually notified her on the spot.
As simple as going out for fast food!
Well… that's Yu Ling for you!
She opened her phone's mirror mode and began a quick touch-up.
Yu Ling made it sound simple,
But this was a live stream for players across the entire universe!
If her brother were still here,
Upon hearing this news, he would probably mobilize the entire family's resources to ensure she achieved the most perfect outcome.
But perhaps because of her recent conversation with Yu Ling,
Robin suddenly didn't feel like making such a grand spectacle.
Just like this,
Keep it simple,
Keep it relaxed.
The world is just a big, makeshift stage after all~
...
At the same time,
The notification of Yu Ling's upcoming live stream appeared on every player's phone!
Across the universe,
People scrambled to prepare due to this sudden announcement!
[Yu Ling has released a live stream preview. The next live stream will begin in 00:28:56]
Opera houses, art venues, performance halls, and more…
"The venue welcomes all players to watch the live broadcast together. Current seat availability: [19995/20000]."
"The number of reservations for the live broadcast has reached capacity. Please proceed to other venues to watch..."
"The public viewing area is full. This route is temporarily blocked."
[Yu Ling has released a live broadcast preview. Time until the next broadcast starts: 00:18:56]
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Get the drinks, seats, and big screen ready for me!"
"Yu Ling's live broadcast is about to start!"
"The outside is packed with players!"
[Yu Ling has released a live broadcast preview. Time until the next broadcast starts: 00:05:06]
"Everyone, Little Gui is all set!"
"Yu Ling rarely goes live. I wonder what earth-shattering thing he's going to do this time?"
As preparations for Yu Ling's broadcast were in full swing everywhere.
A message suddenly appeared on every player's phone!
[When you read this introduction, no matter what you are doing, please stop your work. Adjust to a comfortable position, close your eyes, and take a deep breath, then another—until you can temporarily shed your heavy body and let your free will wander in the sea of spiritual knowledge.]
[Do not feel uneasy or guilty about wasting time, because the happiness of the individual at this moment slightly outweighs the rise and fall of the galaxy. Rest assured, this is what you deserve.]
[—Yu Ling]
Little Gui's live broadcast room.
The comments exploded instantly!
...
"???"
"Wuwu, Yu Ling is so gentle, I'm crying!"
"Why so tense? Let's just relax, it doesn't matter where we watch..."
"I'm lying directly on the park lawn, waiting for you to start!"
"Is there a possibility that Yu Ling is just letting us relax first, then he's going to drop something huge later!?"
"Open the door! I can't wait any longer!"
"At least give us a hint! How can I relax if you don't say anything?"
"Next version content: Conquer the Destruction Army!"
"No! I think it's about taking down Dr. Primitive!"
"Ahhhhh..."
"I'm going to ignite the starry sea!"
...
Dream's Edge.
Sunday and Wanvik stood in place.
Their expressions were somewhat peculiar.
"This..."
"Why does it feel so familiar?"
"Damn! It feels like something you would say!"
Wanvik stared at Sunday.
Sunday, on the other hand, wore a gentle smile.
"Yu Ling is indeed a master in this field."
"These words truly have a calming effect, as if everyone can find peace here."
"Peace my foot!"
Wanvik was agitated,
"There are only 30 seconds left until the broadcast starts, open your eyes now!"
"What does it matter? For the likes of us now, no matter how dazzling or fiery the universe is, we are merely travelers and passersby."
"We should calmly witness everything in this mortal world."
Sunday's face was serene.
As if he had transcended the mundane world.
However,
Soon,
He could no longer remain calm...
