Chapter 2: Guinaifen’s Livestream Boost—Honkai: Star Rail Launches!

    Looking at  being buried under a sea of newly released games, Lin Yu furrowed his brows slightly.

    As expected of the largest app marketplace in the galaxy—new mobile games were being uploaded one after another without end.

    Just moments ago, his game was still on the “new releases” list, yet in the blink of an eye, it had already been pushed down by countless others.

    Lin Yu’s current residence was nothing more than an abandoned building.

    Not only was it open to the wind from all directions, but at night, the place felt eerily cold, as if it were haunted.

    However, over the past few days, Lin Yu had learned one thing:

    Poverty is scarier than ghosts.

    Suddenly, a faint shuffling sound echoed in the darkness.

    Lin Yu instantly blew out the nearby candle.

    Then, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground—his only means of self-defense.

    Pressing himself against the wall, he focused his gaze toward the source of the noise.

    In his line of sight…

    A red-haired woman appeared at the corner of the street, holding a smartphone in one hand while gesturing toward the camera with the other.

    She was slowly approaching his location.

    Lin Yu was speechless.

    Just yesterday, Lin Yu had stumbled upon her livestream while scrolling through his second-hand Jade Sign.

    Who would’ve thought—

    That today, her ghost-hunting stream would lead her straight to his hideout?

    Wait!

    Lin Yu suddenly realized—

    This is a golden opportunity for promotion!

    Although Guinaifen wasn’t a top-tier influencer, she was at least a mid-level streamer.

    If he could leverage this, he was confident that  would break into the mainstream in no time!

    Guinaifen cautiously approached the door of the house.

    Due to the darkness, she could only rely on her phone’s weak flashlight to see.

    Lin Yu stood at the doorway.

    As she got closer, he casually placed a hand on her shoulder.

    Soft… smooth…

    Guinaifen froze.

    The next second—

    Inside the Livestream Chat

    After the initial shock—

    What Guinaifen saw in front of her was a pale yet strikingly handsome face.

    Guinaifen wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

    Lin Yu, on the other hand, flashed a polite and elegant smile:

    Guinaifen asked, curiosity flashing in her eyes.

    At this moment—

    The chat had calmed down, realizing the whole thing was just a false alarm.

    Since Guinaifen was livestreaming, Lin Yu had naturally appeared on camera.

    Because of this dramatic scene, some viewers started liking the stream, causing the viewer count to rise.

    Everything was proceeding exactly as Lin Yu had planned.

    Lin Yu spoke the truth.

    He just left out the part about actually transmigrating.

    As he spoke, Lin Yu booted up Honkai: Star Rail on his phone. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Guinaifen was instantly captivated, her gaze fixed on the screen.

    With a soothing background melody, the vast and desolate cosmos unfolded before their eyes.

    A train glided through an asteroid belt, radiating an ethereal, almost mystical aura.

    Guinaifen leaned in for a closer look.

    At first, she didn’t understand what she was seeing.

    But in the livestream chat, some well-informed viewers recognized it immediately.

    [Popularity +1 +1 +1…]

    Guinaifen gently tapped the screen.

    Immediately, the train accelerated toward an unknown nebula, officially marking the start of the game.

    Lin Yu’s lips curved into a subtle smirk.

    The game… had officially begun.
