Chapter 3

Boothill: "I’m just stating facts, do you have to be so irritable, you son of a...?"

Boothill found it somewhat hard to understand,

he just said "natives,"

how did it poke the sore spot of this person named Scaramouche?

Although "natives" might sound a bit unpleasant, in this universe,

it’s not exactly a swear word, right?

"Lumine, did you see that!?"

"Scaramouche is actually here too!"

Seeing Scaramouche’s message appear,

Paimon was somewhat panicked.

"Don't be afraid, Paimon, his message is too arrogant."

"Maybe in this mysterious livestream, someone can keep him in check!"

Lumine wasn't as worried now.

Because she was gradually realizing the extraordinary nature of this livestream.

Scaramouche: "What is a Luofu Xianzhou General? Just a nameless rat!"

Scaramouche: "If you dare to come before me, be prepared to die!"

Scaramouche had traveled through the seven nations and had never heard of the so-called Luofu Xianzhou Alliance,

naturally regarding it as a small, insignificant faction.

Fu Xuan: "Presumptuous, how dare you be disrespectful to the General!"

Fu Xuan: "Wait until I calculate which faction you belong to, I will definitely send the Cloud Knights to arrest you all."

In the Divination Commission, Fu Xuan, who had been lurking, couldn't watch anymore,

and directly typed to angrily rebuke Scaramouche!

And she began to subconsciously calculate.

But the result was that she couldn't calculate anything.

"Damn it, if it weren't for this livestream being too mysterious and obscuring causality, I would definitely have succeeded in my calculation!"

Fu Xuan attributed the failure of her calculation to the protection of the livestream.

But she never imagined,

that the person on the other side wasn't actually from this world at all.

Jing Yuan: "Why must you be angry, Lady Fu?"

Jing Yuan: "The universe is vast, and there is indeed no rule that one must know the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance."

Jing Yuan: "But friend Scaramouche, the Luofu Xianzhou does not look for trouble, nor are we afraid of it."

Jing Yuan: "As the Luofu Xianzhou General, I cordially invite you to visit the Luofu Xianzhou."

Jing Yuan: "At that time, you will naturally know whether the Luofu Xianzhou General is a nameless rat or not."

Scaramouche saw this somewhat threatening message,

sneered with disdain,

and was about to continue spraying.

However,

during the process of their chatting,

time passed quietly,

and the twenty-minute countdown had now returned to zero!

[Ding, time is up!]

[Now beginning to broadcast one of the Honkai: Star Rail divine plots, edited by a certain creator from Blue Star, the Penacony arc!]

The livestream’s notification sound

rang through everyone’s minds.

"Honkai: Star Rail divine plot... Penacony arc?!"

"What does that mean, is this going to broadcast a story about Penacony?"

March 7th heard this notification,

somewhat surprised.

"We were just about to set off for Penacony, and this thing suddenly popped up."

"Now it’s going to broadcast a story about Penacony."

"Could there be some connection between the two?"

Himeko furrowed her brows, unable to help but ponder.

"Could it be the handiwork of The Family?"

Dan Heng looked at Welt.

"There is too little useful information, it’s impossible to judge for now."

"If it really is the handiwork of The Family, then what exactly do they want to do?"

"First inviting various factions to gather at Penacony, then creating this thing..."

Welt and Dan Heng discussed for a few sentences,

then fell silent.

Based on the information they currently controlled,

they really couldn't analyze too many useful clues.

"Penacony arc?"

"What is that?"

"Honkai: Star Rail, what is that?"

"Could it be a track named Star Rail?"

"Mm, dizzy, I can't understand it at all!"

On the Teyvat continent,

Paimon felt that she was a bit muddled right now.

Clearly she recognized all these characters,

but after they were combined,

she couldn't understand them at all.

What Honkai: Star Rail, what Penacony.

She had never heard of these terms at all!

"It is very strange."

"I always feel that what is said on this is not something from the Teyvat continent at all."

Thinking of those two nouns that sounded like place names,

Lumine only felt it was very incongruous.

Mondstadt, Jean’s office.

"Penacony..."

"Lisa, you studied in Sumeru before."

"Have you heard of this place?"

Jean rubbed her temples,

asking with some exhaustion.

"No, absolutely no impression."

"As far as I know, among the seven nations, there shouldn't be any place called Penacony."

Lisa thought for a moment, saying firmly.

"Then is it possible that this Penacony is actually a past civilization?"

The office door was suddenly pushed open,

and Diluc’s figure

appeared there.

"Diluc, you also saw that screen?" Lisa was surprised.

"Yes, I came here for this matter."

"But I didn't expect that you two also saw this screen."

When Diluc just arrived at the door, he heard the two’s conversation,

so he knew that these two, like himself,

could see the livestream.

"Citizens of Mondstadt, how is the situation?"

Jean suddenly remembered something and asked Diluc.

"No abnormalities."

"To be detailed, they seem not to have entered the livestream like us."

With Diluc’s meticulous style,

as soon as he saw this screen,

he had secretly finished an investigation.

The result was,

most of the people in Mondstadt he investigated

did not see this livestream.

"So, this livestream isn't something everyone can enter?"

"Heh, that’s really interesting."

Lisa chuckled, feeling that things were becoming interesting.

"Yelan, how is the investigation?"

On the other side, Miss Ningguang naturally sent her capable intelligence general Yelan at the first opportunity,

letting her investigate the situation in Liyue.

"Most have no abnormalities."

"Only a very small number of people, like us, saw the livestream."

Yelan answered straightforwardly.

"Who are they?" Miss Ningguang pursued.

"This is the list."

Yelan took out a piece of paper and handed it to Miss Ningguang.

"Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Consultant Zhong Li, Director Hu Tao."

"Legal Consultant Yanfei, Feiyun Commerce Guild’s second young master Xingqiu..."

Miss Ningguang’s lips parted slightly,

softly speaking out each name.

Fontaine, Palais Mermonia!

"Great, I can watch stories now."

"Finally, I won't be bored anymore!"

In Neuvillette’s office,

Furina was shouting and yelling.

"Lady Furina, I must remind you that the origin of this thing is very bizarre."

"There might be some danger hidden within it!"

Neuvillette looked at the excited Furina,

only feeling that this Hydro Archon was becoming more and more crazy!

"Oh my, what’s there to be afraid of!"

"I am the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, Focalors!"

"What kind of thing can I not handle?"

"Just rest assured!"

Furina didn't care,

not feeling at all that this livestream would have any danger.

"Sigh, as long as you are happy."

Neuvillette was speechless to the extreme,

and stopped worrying about Furina.

After all, just as she said,

she was at least a Hydro Archon,

even if she really encountered danger, she wouldn't be without the power to resist.

"What on earth is this thing?"

"Will it cause harm to Fontaine?"

"It seems I need to investigate it secretly."

Neuvillette couldn't imagine,

that at this moment, although Furina looked confident on the surface,

deep in her heart, she had actually already started worrying for Fontaine.

After the livestream’s notification sound rang,

regardless of everyone’s surprise,

it directly began to play the video.

[First of all, thank you all for coming to watch the video I edited.]

[But in order to prevent cloud players and plot-focused players from being unable to understand the main content of the video.]

[According to convention, I will insert a science video about the Honkai: Star Rail worldview.]

[Those who feel they already know enough can fast-forward and skip!]

After the video played, first was a commentary from the editor.

March 7th: "Honkai: Star Rail world? Does that refer to our world?"

March 7th asked in the bullet comments.

Fu Xuan: "Listening to this editor’s meaning, I’m afraid so."

Fu Xuan: "However, I would rather know, who exactly is this editor?"

Stelle: "By the way, aren't you curious about what 'cloud player' means?"

Silver Wolf: "Cloud player refers to someone who understands a certain game indirectly and hasn't actually touched it."

Silver Wolf: "Such people usually have a half-baked understanding of a game, yet can always discuss it with full confidence."

In an unknown place, Silver Wolf looked at the bullet comments and answered rigorously.

Stelle: "....."

Stelle: "Thank you for the explanation, if you hadn't said it, I would still be in the dark!"

Jing Yuan: "Haha, I think what Stelle wanted to express was why people watching the science video are called cloud players, right?"

Stelle: "The General knows me best!"

"Eh, as expected of the Divine Foresight General, he gets it immediately."

On the sofa, Stelle couldn't help but praise Jing Yuan.

As someone who often plays games on her phone,

she naturally knew what a cloud player meant.

But in this video,
