Chapter 6: Initial Promotion Success—Xiao Gui Buys the Account
“Did I just see that right?”
“That was insane!”
“I didn’t even know you could use guns like that!”
Guinaifen’s eyes
sparkled with excitement
,
as if she had just
been baptized
by Kafka’s
ultimate move
.
Yes, Kafka was a
rebel
.
Yes, she was a
villain
.
But—
Damn, she was stylish!
The
livestream chat
exploded with
collective amazement
.
Livestream Chat Reactions
“Holy crap! That was crazy!”
“So elegant! Absolutely elegant!”
“Are we sure the developer isn’t
actually
a Stellaron Hunter? How is the animation
this
detailed?! It’s as refined as Kafka’s submachine guns!”
“I was there. I was a bullet casing.”
This sequence had
completely overturned
the audience’s expectations.
Who would’ve thought—
A
turn-based
game
could be this stylish?!
The
detailed graphics
.
The
dazzling effects
.
The
lifelike characters
.
Even
without combat
, just watching
Kafka’s ultimate animation
alone was enough to
stun the audience
.
And the best part?
It wasn’t just a
pre-rendered cutscene
.
Players could control and unleash it at will!
Livestream Chat Reactions
“This is so freaking cool!”
“What game is this?!”
“I NEED to play it. Like, RIGHT NOW!”
“Streamer, I’m BEGGING you—tell us the name of the game!”
“Weren’t you guys just saying you
don’t play
turn-based games?”
“Where’s the dude who said turn-based combat was
dead
?”
“Yo, hater—SPEAK UP!”
Demand Surges
After the
initial excitement
, Guinaifen
finally noticed
the
chat spam
.
Every single message was repeating the same thing—
“What’s the game?” “What’s the game?” “What’s the game?”
A perfect
wall of text
, neatly aligned.
Even she couldn’t
hold back her curiosity
.
“Hey, little bro—what’s this game called? Why have I never heard of it before?”
Lin Yu
smiled
.
He had
already planned his answer
while Guinaifen was absorbed in the gameplay.
There was
no need
to reveal that
he was the developer
—not yet.
Even though he had
newbie protection
, it only
prevented strong entities from observing him
, not
absolute invincibility
.
His priority was to
earn his first fortune
, then use the
system shop
to
acquire abilities for self-defense
.
So, he simply said—
“Because this is a brand-new mobile game. I just saw it on the app store not too long ago myself.”
“It’s called Honkai: Star Rail.”
The moment he said the name,
Lin Yu
opened the system panel
.
The
backend data
—which had previously shown
only single-digit downloads
—
Jumped to dozens.
Then
hundreds.
Within
just 30 seconds
, it
skyrocketed past a thousand!
This
was the
power of live promotion!
And the number was
still climbing.
Lin Yu’s lips curled into a
massive grin
.
These downloads… were his capital!
End of the Livestream
Guinaifen
waved to the camera
.
“Alright, family! That’s it for today’s stream!”
“This game is
actually really interesting
! I’m planning to
download it myself
on my own Jade Sign and study it properly!”
“Same time tomorrow—we can discuss our progress together!”
She
reached to end the stream
.
It was clear—
She had
already fallen for the game
and couldn’t
wait to play it on her own phone
.
But before she could log out—
The
chat flooded
with messages
begging her to stay.
Livestream Chat Reactions
“Don’t leave, Xiao Gui! I can’t play right now, so I can only watch you!”
“Not gonna lie, I’m at work
interning
—this stream is my only hope!”
“Streamer, have mercy on us poor souls who can’t play games at the moment!”
“Watching you play is actually more fun!”
Guinaifen sighed
helplessly
.
She leaned closer to the camera,
whispering
—
“Guys, I can’t
keep playing
using this little bro’s account forever.”
“I wanna register my own account!”
Although she spoke
softly
, Lin Yu still
heard her clearly
.
He responded
casually
—
“It’s fine. I think this account suits you, so… consider it a gift.”
*”See this ID in the lower-right corner? It shows the
player registration order
—yours happens to be *
.”
“Oh, wow. You’re right.”
Guinaifen
glanced at the ID
.
“Well… thanks a lot!”
Since there was
an existing account
, she
didn’t refuse
.
After all, she had
already progressed through some of the story
—it would be a
hassle
to start over.
But in the
livestream chat
, the
viewers weren’t having it
.
Livestream Chat Reactions
“Wait, what?! You’re just gonna say
thanks
and move on? No way!”
“You guys know that
game IDs
can be super valuable, right? Some gaming companies even
inflate ID prices for profit
!”
“Streamer, show some respect! This guy introduced you to the game AND gave you an account—shouldn’t you
repay the favor
?”
Lin Yu’s eyes
swept over the chat.
On the surface, he remained
calm
—
But deep down, he was
cheering for these viewers!
“This audience… is PERFECT!”
“I love you guys SO much!”
Guinaifen’s
cheeks flushed red
.
“O-Of course, I was already planning to
thank him properly
!”
“I mean, come on! I
totally
wasn’t gonna just take it and leave!”
She turned to Lin Yu.
“Little bro… here’s
500,000 credits
. If you don’t mind, please accept it!”
“Also… let’s get out of this creepy place.”
“Let’s find a nice venue, grab some drinks, and continue exploring Honkai: Star Rail!
