Inside the
livestream chat
, Little Gui and the
space station staff
shared the same reaction—
They were
completely speechless
.
After finally calming down, a
fierce determination
burned in Little Gui’s eyes.
“I
have
to pull Himeko!”
“I could watch that ultimate animation all day!”
She turned back to the viewers—
“Everyone! Right now, Himeko is just a trial character. Unlike March 7 and Dan Heng, who were given for free, she won’t stay in our party permanently.”
“Once this part of the story ends, Miss Himeko will leave the team.”
“I can’t imagine
Star Rail
without Himeko for even a minute!”
“So I’m pulling now!—Wait, no, I mean [Warping]!”
With that,
Little Gui switched to an auspicious Xianzhou song
, believed to bring good luck, and opened the
Warp menu
.
For a brief moment, the
livestream chat fell silent
Everyone was still recovering from the sheer impact of Himeko’s
ultimate move
.
But the moment they heard
she was about to pull
, the chat
exploded
“I just checked—Himeko is a five-star character!”
“That animation! Those effects! If she
wasn’t
a five-star, I’d riot!”
“So… where do we pull for her?”
“It’s the beginner banner! It guarantees a five-star within 50 pulls—you might get Himeko!”
“Wait, so there are
other
five-star characters too?”
“Emperor Bow and Lord of Fate, please grant me a single-pull Himeko!”
“Himeko follows the Path of Erudition! You should be praying to the Genius Society!”
First Pulls—Understanding the System
Little Gui started by
using the free standard tickets
she had been given.
But the results?
Nothing but
three-star Light Cones
—not even a single
four-star character
.
Unwilling to accept defeat, she
checked the pull rates
.
“A four-star character or Light Cone is guaranteed every ten-pull…”
“A five-star is guaranteed within 90 pulls.”
“Ohhh, so that’s how the system works.”
“But in the beginner banner, we only need 50 pulls for a guaranteed five-star!”
Having understood the rules,
she naturally opened the top-up menu
.
“Everyone! I finally found the recharge page!”
“[First-time top-up doubles your purchase—limited once per tier]”? Oh wow, I’m topping up all the smaller amounts first!”
“This [Express Supply Pass] looks like a great deal too—buying it!”
To prevent
accidental leaks
, a
Little Gui emote
covered the payment screen.
Within moments, she had
completed multiple top-ups
.
But she quickly
warned her viewers
“This game is actually pretty expensive. Even with the first-time bonus, a ten-pull costs nearly 10,000 credits.”
“That’s about a day’s wages for an average worker.”
“So remember, everyone—spend responsibly!”
The First Ten-Pull—March 7 Dupes?!
By now,
her balance had enough Stellar Jade
for the
50-pull guarantee
.
She
blasted
her lucky background music, even
washed her hands for good fortune
, and
finally hit the button
[Warp x10]
The
Astral Express doors slid open
, and a
purple light
flickered.
Onscreen, a series of
three-star Light Cones
appeared—
And then—a
four-star character
.
“Wait… this is March 7?”
“But we already have her!”
“Oh? Duplicates are converted into [Eidolons]? That means we can unlock extra abilities!”
Following the tutorial, Little Gui navigated to the
Eidolon menu
.
The screen displayed
shattered mirror fragments
, each one reflecting a
different close-up of the character
.
When she reached
March 7’s sixth Eidolon
, she
froze
.
“W-Wait a second…!”
“If they revealed any
more
, my stream would get taken down!”
“Are
all
the characters like this at six Eidolons?!”
She hurriedly checked other characters.
A minute later, she
gulped
.
“A-Anyway, let’s keep pulling!”
She tried to
act normal
, but inside, she was
completely broken
“DAMN IT! The dev team
knows
what they’re doing!”
“Unlocking six Eidolons brings back their
original form
?!”
“WHO CAN RESIST THAT?!”
And the worst part?
It wasn’t
overly revealing
—just enough to
stay within the guidelines
, yet
still incredibly suggestive
.
It left too much to the imagination.
Taking a deep breath, she
accepted her fate
“This game has me completely in its grasp.”
The Second Ten-Pull—A Familiar Face?!
She
reset her focus
and started another
ten-pull
.
This time, a
new four-star character
appeared.
Little Gui
brightened up
.
“Everyone, this is a new character!”
But then—
She
stared at the icon
.
And then at the
name
.
“Hahaha! Just from this portrait, they look
exactly
like a close friend of mine!”
Giggling, she clicked
to reveal the character’s full profile
.
[Sushang (New) – Physical Element, Four-Star, The Hunt]
She
paused
.
Her
smile faded
.
And then—
“AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! THIS ISN’T JUST
LIKE
HER—THIS
IS
SHANGSHANG!!”
She
jumped away
from her screen
like she had seen a ghost
.
The
livestream chat exploded
“No way! Is this actually
the
Sushang?!”
“I thought only Astral Express and space station members were in the game, but we have Xianzhou characters too?!”
“Okay, seriously, how many secrets is this game hiding?!”
“KEEP PULLING! There might be
more
unexpected characters! What if we can even pull a Xianzhou general?!”
“Bro, slow down! Getting a Yun Cavalry girl is probably just an Easter egg—if we could pull General Jing Yuan, the dev team would get
arrested
by the Ten Lords Commission!”
Determined to Investigate
Little Gui
chugged her drink
, trying to
calm down
.
Finally, she
sat back down
, clenched her fist, and declared—
“Alright… I need to see exactly how they made Shangshang!”
“If her skills don’t properly capture her spirit, I
refuse
to acknowledge this!”
