Chapter 15: Summoning an Orbital Cannon? That’s Too Elegant!
Inside the Space Station
Across the station, various departments
paused their work
, shifting their focus to a
certain mysterious new game
.
Before long, someone
discovered
Little Gui’s livestream on Xianzhou’s streaming platform.
Those who
couldn’t play
at the moment or were
on the fence
about trying the game
flocked
to the stream.
In fact, the largest
display screen in the space station
was switched to
Little Gui’s channel
, drawing a growing crowd of curious onlookers.
People pointed at the screen, commenting excitedly—
“So this is
Honkai: Star Rail
?”
“According to reliable sources, the game’s story is completely based on real events! Look at the streamer’s team—those are all familiar faces!”
“Wait… is that our Station Master, Asta?! Am I seeing this right?”
“And every character’s ultimate move looks insanely cool!”
As the
crowd grew
, more and more people, intrigued by the
hype
, pulled out their devices and
began downloading the game
.
On the Livestream
Little Gui’s
cheeks flushed with excitement
.
“Alright, everyone! Next up, we’re testing out Miss Himeko’s skills!”
“I wonder what kind of ultimate move our Navigator has?”
She
selected the trial version of Himeko
, first zooming the camera in
as close as possible
, capturing even the
finest details
—
A pristine white dress, golden rose accessories…
Even the
small beauty mark on her right collarbone
was
clearly visible
.
The
livestream chat
reacted instantly—
—
“The streamer knows what she’s doing!”
—
“Can we get another angle?”
—
“If she changes the angle too much, she’s getting banned lol.”
Combat Begins
Controlling Himeko, Little Gui
ran forward
, soon encountering a
Voidranger
.
She tapped the
attack button
.
Himeko’s
suitcase
floated into the air
, and in an instant, a
chainsaw blade
extended
from one end—slashing directly into the enemy.
As the
battle officially started
, her weapon became even more apparent—
Every
basic attack
and
skill
involved different
weapons emerging from the suitcase
, slicing through foes
with precision
.
When her
passive ability triggered
, additional
fiery explosions
erupted.
The
unorthodox
yet
brutal
fighting style
stunned
many of the space station’s staff.
“Forget the monsters—just watching this makes me feel pain!”
“Miss Himeko may look elegant, but she fights viciously!”
“Of course! How else do you think she became the Express’ navigator?”
“Does her ultimate involve throwing the suitcase and blowing everything up? I heard she keeps a satellite in there!”
“Can’t wait to see it!”
The Ultimate Move – Fire Down From the Heavens
Little Gui quickly
built up enough energy
for Himeko’s
ultimate
.
Facing
three enemies
, she
pressed the activation button
.
“It’s happening, everyone!”
Himeko:
“I suppose… you still don’t understand.”
Little Gui
froze
.
“Wait… why did the suitcase just turn into a chair?!”
“And when did Miss Himeko make that coffee in her hand?!”
“HELLO?! We’re in the middle of a battle!”
Most characters
struck dramatic battle poses
before activating their ultimates.
But Himeko?
She
sat down
, crossed her legs
casually
, and
sipped coffee
—completely unbothered.
The audience was
both confused and intrigued
.
What was about to happen?
Little Gui tapped
“release”
.
Himeko
crossed one leg over the other
, tilting her head
to gaze at the sky
.
A
red signal flare
shot upward
, spiraling through layers of clouds before
reaching deep space
.
“Humanity has never hidden its desire to control the stars…”
The
flare signal
reached a
satellite
, which immediately
activated its weapon systems
.
A
massive orbital cannon
locked onto the battlefield’s coordinates
—
And fired.
A
blinding beam of destruction
descended
, obliterating the battlefield in a fiery inferno.
“And that includes me.”
Throughout the devastation,
Himeko remained seated
, taking a
calm sip of coffee
.
The towering flames
illuminated her figure
, sending ripples through her
red hair
.
Yet—she didn’t even
turn her head
to look at the aftermath.
Complete Silence – Then Chaos
As the
ultimate animation ended
, Little Gui
froze
, the
space station staff
watching in
stunned silence
.
For a few seconds—
no one spoke
.
Then—
The entire room erupted.
“EVERYONE, STAND UP!”
“WHAT DID WE JUST WITNESS?!”
“Orbital cannon?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!”
“This is beyond badass!”
“If someone actually fired that in the space station, wouldn’t it obliterate an entire module?!”
“INSANE! This game’s effects are on another level! Who would’ve thought Himeko’s ultimate would be summoning a satellite to bombard the battlefield?!”
Asta’s Reaction
Not far away, Asta had also been
watching the stream
on a nearby
projection screen
.
Unlike the
others
, she wasn’t
rendered speechless
.
But—
Her eyes
sparkled
like a
galaxy full of stars
.
“Miss Himeko is
too
elegant!”
“Especially that line…
‘Humanity has never hidden its desire to control the stars…’
Aaaaah! That hits right in my heart!”
If no one else had been around, Asta
would have been rolling on the floor
, hugging her
phone
as she
screamed in excitement
.
She had made up her mind.
No matter what—
She
had
to get Himeko in this game!
