"I only have one guaranteed pull left, should I go for Sunday or Tingyun? I'm so torn!"
"Wait until you pull a Yanqing, then you won't have this problem."
"Shut up!"
"I want both, but I've only saved up less than 100 pulls, what should I do?!"
"Can I get an advance on this month's research bonus?!"
"The research bonus is meant to advance your research work, and you want to spend it on Honkai: Star Rail?"
"How is spending on Honkai: Star Rail not advancing research? Pulling Sunday would allow for better exploration of the abilities of Harmony Pathstriders, and pulling Tingyun would let me admire Lady Ruan Mei and witness the healing potential of the foxians! Tell me, how is that not advancing research?!"
At Herta Space Station.
A large group of researchers gathered in front of a big screen, arguing incessantly.
The usually efficient and fast-paced laboratory had turned into something resembling a stock exchange.
At that moment.
A woman with a serious expression walked up to everyone.
She adjusted her glasses.
And coldly stared at everyone.
The atmosphere instantly turned icy!
The boss had arrived!
After scanning the room.
Before she could even say anything,
Many researchers had already lowered their heads in shame.
The woman let out a light snort.
And spoke:
"Each of you is a one-in-a-million talent in your respective homelands."
"That is why you have the opportunity to conduct research here at Herta Space Station..."
"Have you all forgotten?"
"The excitement and reverence you felt when you first arrived at this magnificent space station?"
"To be able to focus wholeheartedly on scientific research under the guidance of Lady Herta!"
"Isn't this the greatest aspiration of all your lives?"
The woman's voice grew louder and more impassioned.
It was like a warning bell ringing in everyone's hearts.
Her uniform was impeccably neat.
She exuded the characteristic coldness and rationality of a researcher!
"As researchers of the Herta Space Station, our duty is to focus on experiments and development!"
"Even if the universe were to face destruction, we must continue our research!"
"This is the reason we gather at the Herta Space Station!"
"Not to gather here and discuss game plots or debate which character to pull tomorrow!"
"Do you think you are living up to Lady Herta's expectations?"
The woman sighed.
She took a moment to calm her agitated emotions.
"I understand your love for Honkai: Star Rail. I, too, am a player."
"We can watch and discuss it in private."
"But! Do not forget your primary responsibilities!"
"From now on, no more gathering to watch content unrelated to research during work hours!"
"Turn off this livestream now!"
Just as the staff member was about to shut down the livestream.
Suddenly.
New content appeared on the screen!
A pair of doll's legs were walking forward.
As members of the Herta Space Station.
Everyone recognized them instantly!
These were.
The legs of a Herta doll!
Then.
The scene shifted!
It transitioned to Lady Herta's office!
Numerous dolls were gathered in the office!
It seemed like something significant was about to happen!
Indeed!
The next second.
A voice, both unfamiliar and familiar, rang out!
"The omniscient existence."
At that moment!
The staff member's hand was already on the shutdown button!
The woman who had just been reprimanding the researchers suddenly changed her expression!
"Stop!"
In an instant.
She moved with astonishing speed!
She pushed the innocent staff member aside!
And knelt before the screen!
"What are you doing!"
"This... this is Lady Herta herself!"
"Not a remotely controlled doll, but her true self!"
"Honkai: Star Rail, what are you trying to do?!"
"Are you really going to expose Lady Herta's true self?!"
The woman's face was flushed with excitement.
She was so overwhelmed that her face turned red!
"Uh..."
"But didn't you just say we couldn't watch Star Rail during work hours?"
"I take it back, all of it!"
"No one is stopping me from watching Lady Herta's true self today!"
"Honkai: Star Rail is the greatest game of this Amber Era, and we must learn from the developers' innovative spirit and humanistic core!"
"Ahhhhh, Lady Herta is making her appearance!"
Against the backdrop of the starry sky.
Crimson light cascaded from above.
A hand gently rose.
As if trying to catch that red light.
As the perspective shifted.
The full scene was revealed!
"Omniscient existence."
"I pose a question to you."
Witnessing this scene.
Inside the Herta Space Station.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
And then, utterly shocked!
It was a scene beyond words.
In the cosmos,
that crimson light, far more powerful than any star,
was not some celestial body.
But rather...
The Aeon of Erudition!
—Nous!
Before its colossal form,
stood none other than Lady Herta herself!
Wearing a wide-brimmed hat, holding what seemed to be a weapon akin to a Scepter.
The live chat in the stream,
exploded!
...
"????"
"Huh?"
"There's still a master above!?"
"Yu Ling, what are you doing!!"
"Her voice changed, it's Lady Herta herself!"
"Little Herta merges into The Herta."
"Something big is happening!"
"Erudition!!"
"My god, they summoned an Aeon?"
"We're doomed!"
"All hail Nous!"
"Holy crap, Herta's third audience with Nous!"
"Nous's presence is overwhelming..."
"OMG!!!!!!"
"I'm stunned!"
"Sunday and Tingyun are joining the banner, Lady Herta herself is appearing, and now an Aeon is here... I can't even imagine how crazy the next version will be!"
"This... the sky is about to change!"
"Is this really not version 3.0?"
...
Inside the space station.
All the researchers seemed petrified!
Frozen in place, unable to regain their composure for a long time!
Including the female leader kneeling before the screen, who was completely dumbfounded!
A stark contrast to her previously commanding demeanor!
Of course,
this couldn't be blamed on them.
No one could have expected.
That at the end of the preview PV!
Yu Ling would drop another bombshell!
Exposing Lady Herta's true form was one thing...
But she,
she was actually going to seek an audience with Nous again!
And moreover,
she posed a question to the Aeon!
It seemed.
For this moment.
Lady Herta had made extensive preparations!
All the little Hertas in the space station were to be utilized!
After a long while.
A researcher finally asked excitedly:
"If Lady Herta is going to seek an audience with the Aeon here... does that mean we might also have the honor of witnessing it?"
"It seems... it's really possible!"
"My god..."
"Our space station hasn't had any plot for so long, and now we're dealing with an Aeon-level existence!"
"I feel like I'm having trouble breathing!"
"Before this day arrives, I must be fully prepared."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime peak moment!"
However.
Just as the researchers were growing more and more excited.
Suddenly,
someone realized a serious problem!
"Uh, gentlemen..."
"In that scene just now, behind Lady Herta, it seemed like the space station was gone... right?"
"Think about it carefully."
"If Nous truly descends here, and its gaze falls..."
"Except for Lady Herta herself,"
"Everything else,"
"would cease to exist!"
"Not only would we not have the honor of witnessing it,"
"but even the thought of leaving behind a molecular structure would be a pipe dream."
As soon as these words were spoken!
They instantly brought everyone back to the cold reality!
Inside the space station.
A deathly silence fell!
