"Everyone, as you can see, this is Belobog's newly built interstellar docking bay!"
Little Gui waved at the camera.
She had invested a fortune to equip her Jade Abacus with a fully intelligent, automated live-streaming assistant.
Now, she no longer needed to hold a selfie stick to stream. Instead, her Jade Abacus could follow her autonomously, capturing whatever she wanted to show like a little sprite companion.
At this moment,
the live-streaming lens smoothly and comprehensively displayed the interstellar docking bay before her.
"The overall style reflects the icy plains, with Belobog's iconic architecture in the center~"
"The central lighthouse is even equipped with the latest fluid screen, constantly broadcasting news related to Belobog."
"These two sides sell Belobog souvenirs, but we won't look at those now—we're here for serious business!"
"As you can see, ships are constantly taking off and landing over here..."
"It seems the disappearance of Bronya and Seele has drawn widespread attention. Little Gui will bring you live coverage of the situation as it unfolds!"
Suddenly!
The intelligent lens swiftly pivoted!
Automatically detecting a sensitive factor!
Behind a starship, a furtive figure was moving!
Zoom in!
Though wearing a hat, all players in the livestream recognized him instantly!
...
"Damn! Sampo!"
"Little Gui must have forgotten to check the almanac before heading out—the first person she runs into after landing is actually Sampo..."
"Boom!"
"Gotta admit, Sampo really does have feelings for Belobog!"
"Hurry up and catch him, make him face the judgment of billions of viewers in our livestream!"
...
Sampo was indeed a seasoned old fox.
He immediately sensed something was off and prepared to make a quick escape!
However, Little Gui was already prepared.
Close the door, release Diting!
Though this little Diting had short limbs, it ran extremely fast, clearly having undergone professional training.
It quickly caught up to Sampo.
And bit him right on the calf!
"Ouch!!"
"Damn it, who's so inconsiderate, walking a dog without a leash!"
Sampo cried out in pain.
And Little Gui appeared before him.
Seeing the person in front of him,
Sampo froze for a moment!
Then immediately put on an ingratiating smile out of instinct.
"Well, well, well—"
"If it isn't the great streamer Miss Guinaifen! I'm your loyal fan~"
"To think you'd personally come to a backwater like our Belobog, what an incredible honor~"
"Oh right, this is a livestream, isn't it?"
Sampo pointed at the camera.
Excitedly licked his lips.
And waved to the camera:
"Hahaha, good afternoon to all the players in the livestream~"
"Old Sampo wishes you all great fortune and smooth sailing!"
Little Gui got straight to the point, asking, "Why are you here?"
Sampo clapped his hands.
Instantly putting on a pained expression.
The speed of his expression change made many viewers in the livestream exclaim that he truly lived up to being a Masked Fool—his face-changing skills were absolutely masterful!
"It's because I heard Miss Bronya and Miss Seele were in trouble!"
"Old Sampo was vacationing on another planet, but as soon as I got the news, I rushed back, wanting to lend a hand."
"Those two are the very symbols of Belobog's spirit—nothing can happen to them!"
Sampo's expression shifted from heartache to righteous determination.
...
"I think Sampo's telling the truth—he's pretty reliable when he needs to be!"
"Laugh at the jokes, not the man—Sampo's a real one."
"We always say some characters make you feel safe when they're around, like Mama Kafka from the Stellaron Hunters, or Himeko from the Express. But Sampo's the opposite—when you look back and see this guy running away, you know things are under control; if you see him still here, then you know you're really screwed."
"If this guy's still around, it means we can't handle it alone—we gotta stick together. Sampo can be pretty loyal sometimes."
...
Seeing these comments,
Sampo was moved to tears!
"Wah..."
"Old Sampo... my life... is complete!"
"Rescuing Miss Bronya and Miss Seele—I'll do whatever it takes!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Not far away,
More people disembarked from the starship.
"Sampo's right!"
"We're a group of players who came to help—we want to contribute too!"
"Even if we have to turn Jarilo-VI upside down today, we'll find Bronya and Seele!"
More and more players gathered.
Most had followed the clues from Little Gui's livestream.
In just over ten minutes,
A large crowd had assembled here.
They came from all corners of the universe,
But everyone shared the same goal!
...
"Group Mission Triggered: Rescue Bronya and Seele."
This is the tacit understanding of us players!"
"Watching this gets me pumped—if only I weren't so far from Jarilo-VI, I'd be there too!"
"Little Gui, remember to keep the livestream running the whole time. Even though we can't be there in person, we can still offer advice and suggestions in the chat."
"Let's get moving! Every minute wasted puts those two in greater danger."
...
Soon.
Relevant personnel from Belobog arrived to assist.
The two sides briefly coordinated.
The staff then explained the specific situation.
"The situation is indeed not optimistic."
"We can't blindly venture into the blizzard to search for them. If we end up getting lost ourselves, we'd only be adding to the trouble."
"Ordinary people should wait at the temporary station for further assistance. Those with strength as Pathstriders, follow old Sampo to explore that cliff over there!"
"Uncle Cold Legs, I feel so reassured following you!"
"You're my main DPS! My first Six Eidolons character—I'm counting on you!"
Sampo chuckled.
"Everyone's so enthusiastic, it's making me a little embarrassed~"
"No time to waste, let's prepare to move out."
...
Across the universe.
More and more players were paying attention to this incident!
Relevant news broadcasts were also being relayed to major star systems in real time.
[The rescue operation led by Guinaifen and old Sampo is about to begin...]
[Witness the unity of Star Rail players! One call, a hundred responses...]
[According to on-site personnel, this operation still carries a certain degree of risk.]
[A high-ranking executive from a certain corporation stated that Belobog has signed relevant contracts with the company, preventing the company from providing official assistance to Belobog...]
Players who came across these news reports immediately entered Little Gui's livestream through various channels.
Keeping a close eye on this rescue operation in real time!
At this moment.
Little Gui and the others had already arrived at the snowfield, at the temporary camp set up by the Silvermane Guards.
Gepard had been waiting here for a long time.
His expression was grave.
He addressed the group, "Thank you all for your tremendous assistance."
"However, this rescue operation is unique. Those with the capacity, please follow me..."
As Gepard finished speaking.
Suddenly!
Within the camp!
Numerous notification sounds rang out in unison!
Not just local communications.
The varied sounds from all the players' devices also chimed simultaneously!
"Ding!"
"Buzz!"
"Zzzzt—"
"Yu Ling has released new content. Let's take a look~"
Everyone's expressions shifted slightly!
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
"Why would Yu Ling release new content at a time like this?"
"Could it be..."
"Damn, I have a bad feeling about this!"
"Could it be that even Honkai: Star Rail has been affected by what's happening in reality?"
"I'm a little afraid to look..."
