Chapter 205: Version 2.0 is live! Little Guizi arrives on Penacony for a livestream!
The Astral Express.
"???"
"What is this!!?"
March 7th scrolled through the news feed on her phone, her face full of shock.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Stelle leaned over, ready for some fun.
March 7th read the title word by word: "Penacony fully lifts the ban on Honkai: Star Rail, and offers benefits to all players traveling to Penacony…"
Stelle quickly took out her phone.
She intended to search for related information.
To verify if it was true or false.
However.
She didn't need to search.
This matter had already climbed to the top of the trending news list!
Looking at the comments from various netizens.
Stelle's face initially showed surprise.
Then gradually turned into pleasant surprise.
And finally morphed into fanaticism!
"Looking at the comments section, it says that Penacony's dreamscape—[ Golden Hour ] has released a lot of Star Rail recharge vouchers! There are also Nameless Medals and Nameless Glories, as long as you grab them, you can exchange them unconditionally with the Family!"
March 7th also saw the related comments.
She sighed in disbelief, "Penacony is now at the complete opposite extreme compared to before! They are playing White Night everywhere, making it feel like they're treating this song as their theme song…"
"Players from all major regions have decided to head to Penacony!"
"Let's go too!"
"It just so happens that the Express received an invitation from the Family earlier. We can vacation and play games there at the same time, how wonderful!"
Seeing Stelle and March 7th so excited, Mr. Yang reminded them, "According to the information we've learned so far, heading to Penacony this time, besides us, there are also other unknown factions."
"For example, the purple-haired woman who appeared in White Night, the Stellaron Hunter Sam…"
"And the IPC's envoy, Aventurine of the Ten Stonehearts," Himeko reminded.
"Hmm… Although we are guests, we can't completely treat it as a vacation."
March 7th remained optimistic.
She said, "Judging from the content in the White Night video, it doesn't seem like we will encounter any crisis. It'll probably be more about watching these people scheme and fight among themselves."
"For that… Watchmaker's legacy?"
"But now that these people have been exposed in the storyline, moving from the dark into the light, they probably wouldn't dare to make any big moves anymore, right?"
"In my opinion, this storyline will definitely be a positive and wholesome story~"
"Ding dong—"
A notification sound came from the phone.
March 7th subconsciously glanced at it.
She froze for a moment.
Uncertain.
She looked again!
[ Feathered Spirit: Version 2.0 of Honkai: Star Rail is now online, head to the land of dreams [Penacony] to embark on your Trailblaze journey! ]
"Hiss…"
"So fast!"
...
Penacony.
Hotel Lobby.
Guinaifen had just arrived here and was immediately shocked by the luxurious grandeur of The Reverie Hotel.
"Tsk tsk tsk…"
"Family members in the stream, Little Gui is currently in Penacony, at the lobby of The Reverie Hotel."
"Look at this decor!"
"Look at these doors!"
"Look at this speed bump!"
"Look at this advertising screen!"
However.
Before Little Gui could officially enter the lobby area.
Several people in suits and leather shoes, wearing sunglasses, suddenly spotted her!
It seemed they had been waiting here for a long time.
They all trotted over!
Guinaifen's heart skipped a beat.
"Didn't they say the Family had lifted the ban on Star Rail? Why am I being targeted the moment I arrive…"
"Or is streaming… not allowed here?"
…
"The Penacony stream is ending before it even begins…"
"I was just about to go to Penacony, Little Gui is testing the waters for me."
"Run, Little Gui! If the Family catches you, they'll assimilate you into one of them!"
"Do you still not realize you're a universe-level entertainment streamer now?"
"There are bad people among the masses!"
…
These Family members arrived in front of Guinaifen.
But there was no confrontation or clash as expected.
The leading woman took off her sunglasses and said with an auntie-like smile, "Hahaha… You must be the famous universe-level streamer, Miss Little Gui, right?"
"Welcome to Penacony!"
The Family members beside her immediately said in unison, "Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"
Guinaifen was stunned.
What were these people doing!
The woman continued, "We are your fans! If we don't watch your stream for a day, we feel uncomfortable all over."
"We finally get to meet you in person this time!"
"You look even better in real life than in the videos!"
All these exaggerated compliments didn't make Little Gui fall into a sweet trap; instead, she immediately became alert.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
"What exactly do you want?"
"We are members of the Iris Family, and we mainly want to collaborate with you on streaming-related matters…"
"Simply put, it's to help us promote, do some advertising, and so on…"
"If you're willing, we have already booked a luxury VIP room for you. We won't interfere with any of your subsequent actions, you just need to mention these aspects of our Iris Family…"
Guinaifen looked at the contract and related documents the woman took out.
ID proofs, business licenses, etc…
She confirmed there were no traps.
Then she nodded slightly.
"It looks pretty good, I don't think I have a reason to refuse."
"That's great!"
"Then our cooperation is sealed."
"Oh right, Miss Guinaifen, could you give us your autograph?"
Guinaifen chuckled.
So this is what they were waiting for?
"No problem."
Just as she was about to sign.
Suddenly.
Little Gui's phone went "ding dong."
At the same time.
The phones of these Iris Family members also rang with notification sounds or vibrated.
A strange look appeared on everyone's faces!
This familiar feeling.
Could it be…
Before they could check.
Over in the hotel lobby.
A chorus of pleasant surprises had already erupted!
Immediately after.
All the tourists present stood up in unison!
Some people even shouted excitedly!
"It's here, it's here!"
"Feathered Spirit has updated!"
"Version 2.0 is coming!"
"Do you know how long I've waited for this moment?!"
"Bro Feathered Spirit, how did you know I get paid today!"
Guinaifen saw the push notification.
And was immediately shocked as well!
Version update!
It's actually today?
Penacony had just lifted the ban on Honkai: Star Rail, and Feathered Spirit immediately updated the new major version!
Is this a coincidence?
It definitely couldn't be a coincidence!
"Is Feathered Spirit trying to let all the players currently in Penacony experience the new version's storyline firsthand?!"
"Wuwuwu…
