Lucy was very confused.
She had merely posted a screenshot of her ten-pull resulting in seven SP Wolf Guardians to the group chat, and then an irresistible wave of exhaustion suddenly washed over her.
She hadn’t even had time to check the group members’ replies before she collapsed dizzily in front of her computer.
When she opened her eyes again, what came into her view was an unfamiliar carriage ceiling.
And a pair of slender, fair, yet completely numb legs.
“I only got a bit lucky!
Why does transmigrating come with a body-swap package!”
A voice filled with a hint of frenzy rang out in the slightly empty carriage.
The voice was clear and melodious, but it sounded full of grief and indignation at this moment.
A young girl with hair as white as snow and exquisite features sat powerlessly in a wheelchair, her hands tightly gripping the soft thin blanket on her lap, her fingertips turning slightly white.
This is…
Kiana?
She groped subconsciously and actually managed to fish out a delicate folding mirror from the storage pocket on the side of the wheelchair.
The face reflected in the mirror made her freeze slightly.
The exquisite facial features were somewhat similar to the Insects in Honkai Impact 3rd, but her temperament was much calmer.
Her long, silver-white hair draped down smoothly, and her bangs perfectly covered her right eye.
The visible left eye was azure blue, holding a moonlight-like tenderness, yet it also carried a fragile sense of vulnerability, like mist that might dissipate at any moment.
“…No, not Kiana.”
Almost at the same moment this thought arose, another gentle yet complex stream of memories slowly flooded her consciousness.
As it turned out, it wasn’t transmigration, but a long-delayed rebirth.
Her consciousness, or rather the memory of “Lucy,” had awakened in this pre-existing body.
The name of this body was—Selene.
In a sense, she could be considered a parallel counterpart to Kiana Kaslana in this world.
Currently, she was employed by the Astral Express, serving as logistics for the Astral Express Crew.
The reason she was in logistics wasn’t due to a lack of ability, but because she had limited mobility; since she first had memories, her legs had been unable to stand.
She was a traveler walking the Destiny of Harmony, and…
she had gone far enough, reaching the level of an Envoy through her own efforts.
She had quite a deep “best friend” relationship with that genius from the Genius Society at the Herta Space Station.
Herta had even pleaded with Ruan Mei on her behalf, attempting to cure her leg condition, but even Ruan Mei was helpless.
In the end, it was Herta who used her most proficient method to craft a top-tier puppet body for her that could move freely and connect to her senses in real-time, as a kind of “compromise” compensation.
Perhaps due to the latent influence of her past life’s memories, the appearance of that puppet was unconsciously molded into the image of “Sirin” and named Sirin.
And now, that puppet named Sirin was employed by the Stellaron Hunters.
“Heh…” Selene, or rather the newly awakened Lucy, pulled at the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a complex smile mixed with absurdity and excitement.
She, Selene/Sirin, was now the noble…
Double agent!
Just as she felt a wave of dizziness at this bizarre situation, a cold, emotionless electronic voice rang out abruptly deep in her mind:
[Ding—Host consciousness detected as fully awakened, meeting binding conditions.]
[Dimensional Popularity System binding initiated…]
[Binding successful.]
[Accessing data for the parallel world “Honkai: Star Rail”…
Access successful.]
“Hmm?
System, introduce your functions.” Selene thought silently.
[Ding—]
[This system is a Popularity System.
As the name implies, it can help the host gain popularity.
Popularity can be used to enhance the host’s strength, treat your legs, gain more popularity, and even help the host return to your own world.]
“Then how do I gain popularity?”
[This brings us to the world just accessed; it is a world where Honkai: Star Rail hasn’t launched yet.
The system will help the host become a character in that Honkai: Star Rail, show your face to the players, and farm popularity.]
“Oh, isn’t this just like those gacha-style novels I’ve read before?”
[Yes, that’s right, Host.
It seems you are quite knowledgeable, so I won’t need to say more.]
[Ding—Starter pack opened, received 10,000 popularity.]
“Hmm…
10,000 as starting capital.” She felt the numbers appearing in her consciousness and muttered to herself.
She suddenly thought of something: “System, can I have an extra character slot?”
[Ding—Host can purchase it with popularity, it only costs 100,000.]
“Well, let’s not talk about that for now.” She shook her head slightly and turned her attention back to the present, “System, has the interstellar journey been released over there?”
[Not yet.]
“Good.” Selene’s lips curled up slightly, and a flash of extremely bright light flickered within that gentle, fragile-looking smile.
“System, I’m going to take action!”
