Create a game called "Collapse Iron," where the entire universe is the player.

In the Star Core Hunters' stronghold, Silver Wolf nestled on the sofa, experiencing the game created by Lin Lin.

Kafka, wearing a face mask, floated past, glanced at the screen, then floated back, looking down at it from above.

The familiar scene was exactly when their mission began.

Silver Wolf suddenly froze: "Wait, this scene—the game started so early? When did he secretly take these pictures?"

Kafka leisurely lay down on the opposite sofa, a slight smile playing on her lips beneath her face mask: "I don't know, his abilities have always been quite mysterious."

Silver Wolf nodded thoughtfully, then, as if remembering something, asked, "What did Elio say?"

Kafka couldn't help but laugh when she recalled Elio's expression when he saw the script had been turned into a game: "Poor guy, he probably isn't feeling too good right now."

Meanwhile, Gui Naifen's live stream was gaining immense popularity.

The plot continues to unfold.

The space station's electrical system exploded one after another, plunging Kavka into darkness.

"Looks like I've come at the wrong time."

She looked up and saw the virtual screen above light up, with a white wolf head icon flashing.

Silver Wolf's voice came through the communicator, with a hint of nonchalant laughter: "No, I think you've arrived at just the right time. System time 23:47:15, you're very punctual, Kafka."

The moment the name "Kafka" appeared, the live chat exploded.

Bullet comments:

Who is Kafka?

"Kafka? That Kafka??"

"Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture."

"The company is offering a bounty of 10.899 billion for a Star Core Hunter??"

"This game really isn't afraid of the real person coming to their door, hahaha."

"No, this close-up shot...she's so beautiful!"

"Putting aside the facts, isn't the company entirely without fault?"

"Please send me your address upstairs. The company said they'd send you some credits."

"This game is fun, the girls are really good, I want to lick the screen!"

"I've suddenly become interested in this game!"

"Just a casual observer, I feel she's nowhere near as good as Hanabi-sama!"

"This is so much fun!"

Gui Naifen and Su Chang exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Is this game... based on a true story?

Wouldn't they be able to see the nameless traveler's unknown adventures through the game?

The two instantly perked up and continued playing the game.

In the story, the dialogue between Kafka and Silver Wolf is cryptic and unclear.

"The script," "Elio," "Their purpose"...

The content of riddle-solving elements exceeded the standard.

Players are now only concerned with one question: Who exactly is the protagonist?

It can't be a Star Core Hunter, can it?

Then, the beginner's tutorial began.

The player controls Kafka, slashing at the antimatter phantom in front of her.

The image suddenly shattered, as if time and space were distorted, with countless cracks crawling all over the screen.

The battle interface unfolds.

Kafka stood with her back to the camera, her purple longsword gleaming with an eerie light, facing the illusory pawn.

A clean UI appears at the edge of the screen: the movement axis in the upper left corner, the health and ultimate skill energy in the lower left corner, and the basic attack, combat skill, and five combat skill points in the lower right corner.

The rules are clear at a glance—basic attacks restore points, combat skills consume points, and attacks accumulate ultimate skill energy.

Each monster has three or four weakness attributes above its head: lightning, wind, fire, ice, physical, imaginary, and quantum.

Su Chang's eyes lit up: "It's that simple? I could figure it out!"

The comments section is up to its old tricks again:

"Damn it, this game is no good. Even Su Chang can figure it out. It's going to fail sooner or later."

"Turn-based? Turn-based games? That's so outdated!"

"But the graphics and characters are really exquisite. Wouldn't it be great as a casual game?"

"Isn't there a destiny system?"

The story continues.

Kafka sheathed her sword, her tone indifferent: "This kind of trash alone can't hold off the Star Train crew."

Silver Wolf's voice carried a hint of amusement: "Don't worry, a Doomsday Beast has also arrived."

As soon as the words were spoken, the scene shifted, and the story unfolded:

Kafka stood still, adjusting her sleeves, when suddenly a phantom soldier appeared behind her, its claws aimed straight for her back—

The next second, the illusory soldier turned into a string of blue code data and dissipated in the air.

"Cleaning up other people's messes isn't my job, is it, Kafka?"

Silver Wolf jumped down from the reception desk, chewing bubble gum, his face showing indifferent laziness.

Star Core Hunter - Silver Wolf.

The chat was ecstatic:

"Holy crap, this cute little girl is also a Star Core Hunter?"

"This character design is absolutely flawless, it's so exquisite."

Is it possible... that this is how they actually look?

"Really? Then I like it even more!!"

"The guy upstairs is a lolicon, shock him!"

......

Black Tower Space Station.

Estella sent a message to Lin Lin.

Anonymous: So... the whole story is true?

The official statement from the "Bengti" website: Minor edits, things may change in the future.

Aista puffed out her cheeks in anger: "So it was the Star Core Hunter who did this! That's outrageous!"

Alan whispered from the side, "Fortunately, there weren't any casualties..."

Fortunately, Lin Lin's advance notice gave them time to organize the evacuation.

Little Black Tower appeared out of nowhere, staring at the screen: "Is this the game Lin Lin made?"

In the story, Kafka is expressing her admiration for Silver Wolf's "etheric code".

Silver Wolf waved his hand dismissively: "Just modifying real-world data, nothing special."

Little Black Tower snorted and crossed his arms: "In my eyes, it is indeed a petty trick."

On the Star Train,

March 7th was perched on the sofa armrest, staring intently at the screen, her eyes sparkling: "Hurry, hurry! I want to see my appearance!"

Danheng was flipping through a book beside her, seemingly casually, but her gaze kept drifting towards the screen.

Only Xing looked dissatisfied: "What about me? What about the main characters? Even Danheng and Sanyue got screen time!"

Lin Lin helplessly spread his hands: "It's only been five minutes since the game started, we need to be patient."

Lin Lin was also really looking forward to it; he was looking forward to seeing the players making in-game purchases!

Hehe ~

Let the world of Honkai Impact 3rd experience the Old Man's three-piece set!

On the Star Core Hunter's side,

Silver Wolf watched the plot unfold, then suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute, the plot has changed here?"

Kafka took the phone and quickly glanced through it: "He deleted his part."

Why?

"Maybe he doesn't want to be exposed to the public," Kafka said thoughtfully. "Besides, without him, our actions would probably be just like in the story."

Silver Wolf thought of Eriol, who had locked himself in the house and hadn't come out yet, and nodded silently.

"You'll find out once you keep watching." Kafka handed the phone back to Silver Wolf and took out her own terminal to register an account.

Lin Lin said that there will be an online multiplayer function in the future. I'll register an account now so I can play with Xing when I have time.

(P.S.: There will be four Yellow Springs then. Low-life minions will only be allowed to produce points and won't be allowed to use combat skills. Hahaha!)

The plot moves to the entrance of the rare artifacts collection room.

The antimatter army surged in from all directions, blocking their retreat.

"Looks like we're the ones who got ambushed." Silver Wolf popped a bubble.

"Unfortunately, it's them who are surrounded," Kafka said calmly.

The screen shattered again, and Silver Wolf joined the battle.

Combat Skill Unleashed – Silver Wolf raises "Prometheus" in his hand and precisely applies lightning attribute weaknesses to the heads of each enemy.

The comments section went crazy again:

"A combat skill that applies weaknesses to multiple targets?? Is this a human skill??"

"Human rights card! Absolutely an early-game human rights card!"

"So strong and so beautiful, Silver Wolf, my Silver Wolf! I'd even be your dog!"

"So it's based on teammates' attributes to apply weaknesses, that's really powerful."

Gui Naifen saw that the Silver Wolf's ultimate skill was full and pressed it without hesitation.

Finishing move - Account banned.

Silver Wolf's character art exploded in the center of the screen. She had one hand in her pocket, flicked her thumb, and said casually, "Combat experience—it needs optimization."

Fingertips danced across the holographic keyboard, blue-purple data streams surged, and quantum cannonballs roared out, exploding into a digital shockwave among the enemy ranks.

"This speed is too slow."

She finished her move, still maintaining her cool demeanor, as if she had just done something casual.

Bullet comments:

"Silver Wolf...hehe...my Silver Wolf..."

"Combat skills apply weaknesses to multiple targets, and ultimate moves reduce the defense of the entire group—isn't that invincible?"

"The more I look at it, the cuter it gets, what should I do?"

"I suggest you take some 7.62mm brain-boosting medication to calm your mind."

"That's called execution by firing squad!"

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Kafka's ultimate ability is now fully charged.

Gui Naifen took a deep breath and pressed down.

Finishing move – The Trembling Sound at the End of Tragedy.

Kafka's character portrait slowly appeared; she tilted her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Beautiful times... always come to an end."

Purple-black lightning surged around her. She spun around, and countless spiderweb-like lightning threads wrapped around all the enemies, while a huge spider emblem appeared on the ground.

It's time to say goodbye.

She uttered a single word softly: "Bang."

A giant lightning blade tore through space, and a storm of purple lightning swept across the entire area.

As she finished her move, she gently brushed her hair aside and let out her signature soft laugh.

This is the final chapter written for you.

Bullet comments:

"OMG, this is so beautiful!!! How do I get Kaffa?!"

"Is it a direct sale or a reward given as part of a task? Can anyone tell me?"

"The special effects are truly top-notch, although the damage seems a bit..."

"What?! Such a cool ultimate move only dealt me ​​69 damage?!"

"Trap card! Anyone who buys it will be scammed!"

"But she's so beautiful, I'd be willing to be a warehouse manager!"

"The beginner's storyline should be reviewed before drawing conclusions."

"I'm telling you, even if she heals the monster, I'll still buy it!"

The story continues.

Silver Wolf's fingers flew as he checked the system information: "Looking at the access history, that woman hasn't logged in for over half a year. The evacuation operation is being directed by an acting site manager named Estella."

Inside the Black Tower space station, Estella covered her mouth in surprise: "Alan! He mentioned me!"

What's it like to have your game made from someone else's creation?

She knows now.

"What kind of character do you think I'll be in the future?"

In the story, the two simply find the room where the star core is hidden.

"It has an independent protection system... It seems that for the Black Tower, the Star Core is not an ordinary collectible."

"Can we get it?"

"Of course, in the hacking world, even the genius Black Tower is no match for me."

Little Black Tower's face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth: "Next time she comes, I'll make her pay!"

Kafka took the star core out of the restraints and held it in her palm.

"The carrier is ready; you make the decision."

Silver Wolf tossed the virtual panel to her.

On the panel, a man and a woman were sleeping peacefully.

Bullet comments:

"Is this the main character?"

"A man and a woman, they're definitely the main characters."

"Master is born!"

"The female lead is so sleazy, look at that expression."

"If I choose the male lead, will there be a romance system later?"

......

Star Train.

Seeing this, Xing turned and glared at Lin Lin again: "Why do you have a brat brother?!"

Lin Lin feigned ignorance: "It's to give players more options."

Xing muttered, "Isn't having me enough? Why do we have to add a brat like me..."

"Who would choose him?"

Lin Lin pointed to March 7th, who was holding her phone next to her: "Right next to you, March chose the male lead."

"March!"

March 7th quickly hid her phone behind her back, laughing sheepishly, "I was just... curious! Besides, I already have you, I definitely can't choose you again in the game, otherwise my love would be taken away by you in the game, right?"

Xing thought about it and realized... that seemed to make sense?

Gui Naifen's live broadcast room.

In the end, Gui Naifen chose the female lead star, since she is a girl and it would be easier for her to empathize with the character.

Then came the much-anticipated naming process.

The comments section completely let loose:

"Rainbow After the Storm 7854"

"I leveled up on my own."

"The Secret Teachings of the Medicine King"

"Head-mounted transmitter"

"Konjac refreshing"

"Sizzling Water Dragon"

Spinning around

"??? What strange thing has gotten in here?"

"Send me the address for that 'Secret Recipe of the Medicine King,' and Brother Lan will send you some warmth."

"Don't you have any better-looking names?"

"Surpassing the nine heavens and galaxies, shattering the eternal sky, clad in purple-gold armor, wielding a halberd, I roam the nine heavens and ten earths alone, none dare to contend with me!"

"Indeed, an inch longer, an inch stronger—no doubt about it!"

Amidst the chaos, Gui Naifen calmly typed "Little Gui Zi Guinevere".

Name confirmed.

Then Xing's body was slowly printed out on the platform next to him.

Then—Kafka picked up the star core and, decisively… pressed it in.

The comments section was filled with shock:

"Holy crap, is this hardcore??"

"You can just insert this thing directly??"

"The existence of a star core has been confirmed."

The scene switches to the star's perspective.

She opened her eyes, her vision blurry.

Kafka's face appeared above, and the faint worry that had been between her brows just moments before transformed into a gentle smile the moment she saw Kafka open her eyes.

The camera captured this change precisely.

On the Star Train,

Xing watched this scene in silence.

Why doesn't she remember this part?

She turned to look at Lin Lin, her eyes filled with a silent question.

Lin Lin said calmly, "Don't rush, just keep watching."

In the scene, Xing, still somewhat dazed, mumbles, "Where... am I?"

The voice sounded a bit stiff—because it was voiced by Xing herself.

Lin Lin removed most of the unimportant dialogue choices in the game, leaving only some easter egg-like options.

Although it reduces some interactivity, this allows players to watch the entire story in one go, like watching a movie.

Kafka looked down at the stars, her lips slightly parted.

The power of words is activated!

"Listen to me: your mind is a complete mess right now. You don't know who you are, why you're here, or what you're going to do next. You feel like I'm familiar to you, but you're unsure whether you should trust me—"

"—But none of that matters. What matters is that I'm leaving, leaving you here alone."

"So from now on, you don't need to think about the past anymore, and you don't need to doubt yourself anymore."

Her voice was as gentle as if she were soothing a child to sleep.

"Listen to me: You're about to encounter many dangers and find yourself in terrible predicaments. But you'll also experience many wonderful things. You'll have companions who are like family, and embark on adventures you could never have dreamed of..."

"And at the end of the journey, all the mysteries that have troubled you will be solved."

She paused, then her smile deepened.

"This is the future that Elio foresaw, and the future you will arrive at."

"Do you like it?"
