Chapter 364: Bidding Farewell to Penacony! The Stellaron Hunters Arrive at the Xianzhou!
Little Gui's stream.
"It's here, it's here, family!"
"Five minutes ago, Feathered Spirit posted an update!"
"[ The Trailblazing journey in Penacony has led to a beautiful ending. It's time to head to the next stop—but before that, let's bid a formal farewell to the sleepless night behind us. ]"
Guinaifen looked full of excitement, pointing at this text. She was clearly acting like a little fangirl of Feathered Spirit.
"Listen to this description!"
"This is so sweet!"
"After the thrill of before, this plot must be a relaxing and sunny epilogue~"
"Let's see how this plot goes, just how beautiful can it be?"
They arrived at the plot trigger point.
Amidst the black screen, a voice gradually became clear.
"Wake up… wake up..."
"...Hey, Stelle! Stop sleeping, the sun is shining on your butt—"
This playful voice was unmistakably March 7th.
"Are you okay? Can you hear me clearly? I didn't hear a single sound in the room, I was scared to death."
A familiar opening.
The last time she woke up like this, it was a dream within a dream.
But this time, it should be the real return to reality.
March 7th also began to explain the situation: "It's not a dream, this is reality, the Reverie Hotel! The Order's sweet dream is over."
"Although a day has already passed, looking back still makes me break out in a cold sweat. The Express's Trailblazing journey almost ended right here in Penacony..."
"During the time you were asleep, the Stellaron was sealed. The ordinary citizens of Penacony have no idea what happened; they just feel their memories are a bit blurry, as if a chunk was hollowed out."
"The Family's official stance is that the Charmony Festival encountered an unidentified Stellaron attack and was forced to suspend—after all, you can't exactly put the Order's business out in the open."
"Right now, the four Families, other than the Oak Family, are doing their best to quell the aftermath of the incident. The Express Crew has also been invited to the Family's Radiant Feldspar to sit in and participate in important talks as witnesses."
"Now it's just you missing, hurry up and pack. Once you're ready, we'll head out!"
In the stream chat, comments flooded in.
...
"That's so 'The Family'."
"Good thing I'm a 'Honkai: Star Rail' player, otherwise I wouldn't even know what happened and would just be manipulated by public opinion."
"Thanks to 'Honkai: Star Rail', letting us understand the truth from the most comprehensive perspective."
"If you ask me, this game is god-tier!"
"Sunday, Acheron, Firefly… these big shots, if it weren't for the plot, how could we possibly know them so thoroughly?"
"It's over, I feel like I can't forget Penacony, wuwuwu, give me another White Night!"
...
Just as the players were lamenting, the plot's perspective suddenly shifted.
[ Meanwhile, in the Golden Hour… ]
People coming and going in the streets.
Traffic flowing endlessly.
Just like reality.
Despite the effects and influence of The Enigmata's dream being extremely profound, after its destruction, this bustling city of dreams quickly returned to its usual prosperous state.
On a balcony by the street, Firefly was silently watching everything below.
Beside her, a holographic projection suddenly appeared.
"Living in luxury, just like Epsilon. How is it? Is it consistent with the dream you imagined?" Silver Wolf's projection asked.
...
"Your little cutie has suddenly appeared!"
"Firefly!"
"Laughing to death, there's even a little Silver Wolf."
"Whose kid is this?"
"Stellaron Hunters, assemble!"
"Where's my Kafka mom! How long has it been since I've seen her [ sad ]"
...
"A word of advice: don't forget you're still on the Hounds' wanted list, keep a low profile."
Silver Wolf said flatly.
"And this time is different from the past, the photo isn't of Sam, but of Firefly—for you, this should be quite a novel experience, right?"
Firefly nodded with a smile: "Indeed, in Kafka's words… this is also a missing part of my life."
Silver Wolf then indicated she had hacked the system entirely.
Replacing Firefly's identity with the name Lady Samuel.
Allowing her to move freely in Penacony.
Afterwards, Silver Wolf asked eagerly: "Our mission in Penacony is complete, what do you plan to do with your free time? I heard people from the Genius Society are here too, want to go play something big with me?"
"You know, my script isn't over yet."
"The script only says that the Planet of Festivities will grant me three deaths. But it also mentioned that I will gain unforgettable rewards here."
As soon as these words were out, Little Gui's expression changed instantly!
That's right!
Almost forgot about this important thing!
One death still remaining!
Could it be…
Will this death happen in this plot?
The originally relaxed heart was suddenly lifted again!
Seeing Firefly had made up her mind, Silver Wolf sighed: "Forget it, Kafka asked me to pass on a message: if you see anything good in Penacony, help me bring one back, just swipe my card, you know the password."
"She didn't specify, I guess it's a dress, a coat, or sunglasses or something… anyway, you know better than me, you're always the ones chatting about these fashion topics."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out. Oti Mall has many choices, do you think she would like pretty little decorations, like… hair accessories and brooches?" Firefly asked.
"Sounds more suitable for a little girl, you should keep them for yourself."
"Also, Blade wants you to be extra careful. He didn't say it explicitly, but that's mostly what he meant—in Penacony, temptation will appear again—he really speaks so vaguely."
...
"Listening to the Stellaron Hunters chat about daily life~"
"Feels like everyone is very concerned about Firefly."
"So heartwarming, AND THIS BGM… STELLARON HUNTERS FAMILY!!!!"
"Committing crimes together, looking out for each other, god, this is the organization I've been dreaming of!"
"I can already explode stars, can I join the Stellaron Hunters?"
"The third death… it should be fine, right, it should be."
"Can we win? It will Firefly!"
...
Firefly looked at the sky ahead, revealing a relieved smile.
"It's okay, he's just doing it out of kindness. Don't worry, Silver Wolf, you know me."
"I won't do anything, I just want to walk around, use my own two legs, and feel this world more. I want to buy Oak Cake Rolls. During my days in Penacony, I ate one every day, from the first day to the last."
"But today I can buy two and share half with you. If you don't like it, I can enjoy double the happiness. Or I can bring it to Kafka, she never refuses, or… to Blade, he will like it."
"These won't be in the script, right? But look…"
"I have already added new footnotes to destiny."
...
At this moment, a peculiar spaceship was sailing through the universe.
In the cockpit, it was exactly three of the Stellaron Hunters!
And naturally, they were also paying attention to the latest plot.
"Not bad, feels like in this plot, you're quite cheerful and relieved."
Silver Wolf teased with a wicked smile.
"Looks like our little Firefly is quite liked by Feathered Spirit?"
"So many players are saying you're his biological daughter."
"What are you saying, Silver Wolf."
Firefly was a bit embarrassed.
But in fact, deep down, she also felt.
This plot seemed exceptionally friendly to her.
And, she was also very satisfied with the skill design of herself in the game—Sam.
This made Firefly look forward to the upcoming Xianzhou journey even more.
That's right, Kafka had already set the auto-navigation.
The destination was the player sanctuary that was currently all the rage in the universe—the Xianzhou Luofu!
"This time… will there be a chance to see Feathered Spirit?"
