Chapter 195: Dr. Ratio gives away for free? The entire player base goes crazy!
Guinaifen glanced at the bullet chat.
It wasn't just her.
Other players had received this push notification at the exact same time!
News related to Feathered Spirit was, naturally, extremely important.
However, as for what exactly was going on with this push notification that Feathered Spirit personally specified as [ Containing Important Information ], no one knew!
Guinaifen licked her lips.
She opened the notification.
It was a multimedia message with images and text.
She took a look at the introduction.
She quickly understood.
"This is… the chat logs between Feathered Spirit and Dr. Ratio!"
[ Feathered Spirit: Respected Veritas Ratio, do you believe your Warp arrangement is reasonable? ]
[ Veritas Ratio: Knowledge should be circulated and shared, and the same applies to truth. On behalf of myself, I demand that all Trailblazers be given the opportunity to receive an education in knowledge! ]
[ Feathered Spirit: Mr. Ratio, I understand what you mean. ]
[ Feathered Spirit: Then, simultaneously with the opening of the 'Panta Rhei' Event Warp, all Trailblazers who have unlocked the Mailbox function can obtain one limited 5-star character, Dr. Ratio, via mail. ]
[ Feathered Spirit: Mr. Ratio, what do you think? ]
[ Veritas Ratio: Excellent. ]
A few short lines of exchange.
They immediately sent massive waves surging through Guinaifen's heart!
She read it again.
Confirming it meant exactly what she thought it meant.
Only then did Guinaifen exclaim in astonishment, "Dr. Ratio's meaning is… he's giving himself away?"
"Giving himself away for free in the game?"
"Does he not know he's a limited 5-star character!?"
The bullet chat in the livestream had already exploded!
…
"!!!!"
"?????"
"Huh?"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"This isn't a joke, right!?"
"The key point is! Feathered Spirit actually followed Dr. Ratio's wish!"
"Giving him away for free, bro?!"
"Did I wake up in the wrong timeline? Feathered Spirit is giving away a limited character?"
"I was already prepared to pull on the banner, and you're telling me he's free?"
"Dr. Ratio is truly Dr. Ratio, his vision is just too grand!"
…
At that moment.
In Guinaifen's game interface.
She suddenly received a mail.
At the same time.
The mailboxes of all online players received this mail.
Guinaifen opened the mailbox in disbelief—
[ Subscription Receipt for [Dr. Ratio] ]
[ Sender: Veritas Ratio ]
[ [Auto-reply] Hello, I am Veritas Ratio.
Knowledge should be circulated and shared, and the same applies to truth. On behalf of myself, I am providing you with a one-on-one tutoring course, which will be activated upon claiming.
You may ask me academic questions at any time, and I will do my best to provide answers. Before asking, please maintain the good habit of independent thinking, and always remember—
Everyone's time is precious. This applies to me, and it applies to you. ]
[ Mail Attachment: 5-star character Dr. Ratio (The Hunt: Imaginary) ]
Seeing this mail.
Guinaifen was completely stunned!
She froze at the mailbox interface for several minutes.
It was like a still image!
Once she snapped out of it.
She immediately started recording and taking screenshots!
For Star Rail players…
This was a historic moment!
Guinaifen even went to wash her hands specifically!
Finally.
After making all the preparations.
She read the mail thoroughly one more time.
Then.
Click, Claim!
The game interface went black for a brief moment.
Five golden stars lit up.
Behind them was the symbol of The Hunt.
Vwoom!
Dr. Ratio's splash art filled the entire screen.
"WAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Guinaifen let out a high-pitched squeal!
And the bullet chat in the livestream went absolutely insane!
…
"He's actually free!"
"Holy crap! Little Gui's mailbox pulled gold?"
"Where's mine!"
"Where's mine, WHERE'S MINE!!!"
"Panic panic panic panic!"
"It's here? So fast! I just saw the news!"
"Excited heart, trembling hands."
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
…
In Dr. Ratio's office.
Aventurine logged into his game.
He clicked on the mailbox.
He also received the [ Subscription Receipt for [Dr. Ratio] ].
As he claimed it.
Aventurine began to clap!
"Impressive! Simply impressive!"
"I'm truly convinced this time, Professor Ratio."
"With this, you're going to become the character with the highest ownership rate among all limited 5-stars."
"Congratulations, Professor Ratio!"
A smile of appreciation played at the corner of Aventurine's mouth.
Even though he was a die-hard whale player who pursued max Eidolons for every character.
That didn't stop him from enjoying the thrill of getting a limited 5-star character for free!
Meanwhile, Ratio poured himself a glass of wine.
Holding the crystal glass, he walked toward the balcony.
The view here was excellent.
He could clearly see a corner of the athletic field of the University of Veritas Prime.
He saw many students holding their phones, looking extremely excited.
They were gesticulating wildly to one another.
Excitedly conveying some news!
To someone who didn't know better.
They might think the students had suddenly been provoked and were about to hold some sort of ritual on the field.
Without a doubt.
For these students.
The act of him giving himself away for free to all players gave them a shock and a joy that came from the bottom of their hearts!
Ratio looked toward the other side.
The teaching buildings and the dormitories.
Right now.
Many students had opened their windows.
They were shouting loudly.
Even though the soundproofing in his office was excellent.
He could still hear the overwhelming roars from over there!
And the situation was intensifying.
Even more people were joining in.
The administrators of the teaching buildings and dorms were bewildered.
They didn't know what day it was…
Had these students collectively lost their minds?
Ratio smiled slightly.
It wasn't because he heard so many people cheering his name.
But because.
He sensed a possibility!
[ To spread knowledge to the entire universe, to cure the stubborn disease called ignorance ]… this was his personal goal.
And now.
This goal.
Had the hope of being realized in a true sense through the game "Honkai: Star Rail"!
…
After the multimedia push notification sent by Feathered Spirit and Little Gui's livestream.
The news of Dr. Ratio being given away for free spread rapidly across the cosmos!
Players who first received the news didn't believe it.
But as confirmed news was released.
They had no choice but to believe!
This news quickly climbed to the hot searches and headlines of major news networks!
On the game forums.
The multimedia push notification sent by Feathered Spirit had already reached the top of the front page.
Player comments flooded in underneath!
"I declare that everything Dr. Ratio says is the truth [ Confirmed ]!"
"Before receiving the mail: What kind of doctor has no healing abilities? After receiving the mail: I wouldn't even mind calling him Father!"
"I declare Dr. Ratio is the top 1 character in Star Rail, no character can compare!"
"Professor Ratio's greatness needs no further explanation!"
"I declare Dr. Ratio as the new generation Aeon of Propagation, ascending to godhood, WITH PERMANENT PVP IMMUNITY!!!"
"Even if Dr. Ratio hits his teammates, I'll praise him for being able to buff Blade!"
"What are you saying? Even if he heals the enemy, I'll praise him for having a merciful heart!"
Note: This is the end of Volume 1! Thanks for reading.
