Xianzhou, Luofu, Aurum Alley.
This renowned culinary and commercial street boasted a diverse array of delicacies and vibrant street culture.
not every part was bustling with activity. At the fringes of this commercial district lay some old, rundown neighborhoods.
While not entirely deserted, they were certainly seldom frequented by people.
It resembled the urban villages often found within cities.
Among these dilapidated areas, one particular neighborhood stood out as even more abandoned; hardly anyone lived there, making it akin to a ghost town.
At present, a handsome young man sat inside a house, eating instant noodles.
"Fucking hell, even after being transported into the world of Star Rail, I'm living worse than in my previous life!" Lin Yu expressed his frustration, feeling utterly aggrieved.
Just a week ago, he had been farming the Stygian Set for his ship, Acheron. Moments after obtaining an exceptional critical hit helmet, he found himself suddenly transplanted to Xianzhou Luofu.
After overcoming the initial shock, adhering to the philosophy of adapting to new circumstances, he began attempting to survive in this world.
This world was even more fiercely competitive than he imagined!
Those immortal worker bees seemed relentless, striving to work around the clock without rest!
It was overwhelming; there was simply no room for such intensity!
Forget about becoming The Nameless, adventuring and traversing through interstellar space.
In this universe-spanning world, those without skills or resources were considered insignificant, barely worth a damn!
"I can't believe even after reincarnating, I'm still destined to be a working stiff! Where's the promised system?!" Lin Yu lamented bitterly as he finished his last sip of noodle soup.
A cold, robotic female voice echoed.
"Congratulations, host! Activating [Divine Mobile Game Development System]!"
His heart raced with excitement, hands trembling slightly.
Finally, this day has arrived!
Now that's the treatment a transmigrator deserves!
Before him, a translucent blue screen materialized.
"To compensate for the system's delayed activation, you have been granted one Legendary-level draw opportunity."
Without hesitation, Lin Yu clicked on the 'Draw' option.
A streak of light sliced across the sky, emitting golden radiance.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the full content of the initial version of the mobile game 'Honkai: Star Rail'!"
Lin Yu was taken aback.
He already found himself within this world's setting, and now he's drawn the same game again?
Through the system interface, Lin Yu could review the complete contents and usage methods of his rewards.
Immediately, he delved in to examine them.
He discovered that the material indeed matched his memories of "Honkai: Star Rail."
Currently, it was still the pre-1.0 version; any subsequent updates would require spending points to unlock.
"Wealth awaits!" Lin Yu exclaimed ecstatically.
In this Honkai universe, virtually everyone owned a smartphone.
Lin Yu couldn't even fathom how wildly popular "Honkai: Star Rail" would become once released.
For this world, its content is a direct reflection of reality!
Take, for instance, Kafka and Silver Wolf appearing at the start of the game.
Both characters had bounty prices reaching hundreds of millions from companies.
Their presence in the game would undoubtedly captivate many eyes!
Moreover, players could potentially draw these characters and Light Cones later on.
Lin Yu firmly believed that the emergence of this game would have unparalleled significance for this world!
Without delay, he extracted all available resources. He then registered his personal information on the largest mobile app marketplace in the Galaxy, familiarizing himself with the rights and protections for original game creators.
The platform had robust privacy safeguards for creators, minimizing concerns about their personal information being leaked.
Lin Yu still felt uneasy.
After all, what he was planning was massive. If high-ranking officials from companies like Interastral Peace Corporation took notice and forcibly investigated him through backend systems, they might suspect him of possessing future-predicting abilities. This could lead to imprisonment or exploitation.
Lin Yu always maintained utmost caution when dealing with others.
Therefore, instead of hastily uploading Honkai: Star Rail to the Galaxy Store, he reopened his system interface:
[Main System Function: Develop mobile games to earn reward points]
[Player count, online duration, microtransactions... will all convert to points at certain ratios.]
[Points can be used for participating in lotteries, purchasing items from the Enigmata Shop, and more...]
[Includes numerous [Legendary]-grade items; host is encouraged to actively earn points!]
The primary functions were largely as Lin Yu had anticipated.
In the top right corner, he noticed a buff icon:
[Novice Protection: For the current period, no malicious entities can observe the host: 30 days remaining]
Seeing this, Lin Yu's lips curved upwards in satisfaction.
"A month should be ample time to make this game explosively popular across the galaxy!"
"Once that happens, I'll use the points to acquire abilities—aiming at least on par with an Aeon."
With his concerns alleviated, Lin Yu confidently uploaded Honkai: Star Rail to the Galaxy Store.
Amongst the newly launched mobile games, Honkai: Star Rail stood out distinctly, almost as if shimmering with its own unique glow.
