Late at night, in an open space near the coffee shop.
Su Chen stood in place. After meeting with Gepard, he had left an address and phone number before hurriedly returning here.
At this moment, he was holding the newly unlocked location Belobog's Administrative District.
However, he frowned slightly as he surveyed the surroundings:
The available land here is almost enough,
Thankfully, it's better than I expected.
I thought this would only be enough to build a Herta Space Station.
Right now, there isn't much land left here,
And that's a problem!
The Herta Space Station still has a Sealed Zone that's been unlocked but not placed yet.
Plus, if the Administrative District is built here,
Where will later areas like the Snow Plains, Corridor of Fading Echoes, and Everwinter Hill go?
They need to be connected seamlessly.
And we still need enough space for roads, plus tracks for the Astral Express!
In the end, it's still too small!
Not enough to construct the world of Honkai: Star Rail!
Right now, I'm technically a millionaire,
But if I really want to buy a piece of land, it won't be counted in millions it'll be at least in the billions.
Is there any way to avoid taking out a bank loan while still securing installment payments,
And maybe even get a discount from a real estate company?
Hmm…
"Ah! That's it!"
Su Chen immediately dialed a number. "Hey, Arlan? Sorry to bother you!"
"It's fine, Brother Su. What's up? I'm not asleep yet."
"You're so close to Asta you must know a lot, right?"
"Uh… I guess? I'm involved in every decision Miss Asta makes."
"That's perfect! It's about a certain real estate company…"
——
The next day, perhaps out of curiosity, Gepard and Serval arrived as promised.
"What is this place?"
Gepard took off his glasses and wiped them carefully.
The fact that Gepard wore glasses wasn't a big deal, but taking them off gave Su Chen a shock.
Su Chen wiped cold sweat from his forehead. "Heh, talk about a small action with devastating impact!"
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Ahem, I said this is our filming location 'Jarilo-VI,'
Also known as Belobog!"
Gepard looked around at the buildings:
Everything looked brand new, as if it had just been built yesterday.
The construction quality was impeccable.
But such a massive place just for filming?
Isn't that a bit of a waste?
Don't most productions just use green screens these days?
Building an entire grand set like this must cost way more, right?
Still, Gepard didn't dwell on it and followed Su Chen inside.
The moment he stepped through the door, he and Serval froze.
Gepard stared at the bustling crowds, the dazzling array of facilities,
Even tram-like vehicles running through the streets!
This wasn't just a set Su Chen had created an entire world.
He was merely documenting life in this world.
No wonder!
No wonder Honkai: Star Rail Season 1 felt so real!
He wasn't making a show he was just telling and showing everyone stories from another real world!
While Gepard was lost in thought, Serval had already followed Su Chen to the entrance of a mechanical workshop.
"This place is called 'Everwinter Workshop.' Want to take a look inside?"
"R-Really? Can I?"
"Of course!"
With that, Serval pushed open the door. Inside, all kinds of tools were arranged neatly, and a massive gear was turning steadily.
And—
At the far end of the room, her eyes instantly locked onto an electric guitar.
Serval was mesmerized. She walked straight toward the back of the workshop.
When the door opened again, Gepard saw his older sister staring at the guitar in awe.
Serval excitedly ran back to Gepard and grabbed his hand. "Little bro, come with me!
I love it here, I really do!
It feels… like home!"
"But what about Cocolia?"
"Ah… right." Serval's excitement dimmed, as if doused with cold water. Just as she touched her dream, reality dragged her back.
"Sorry, I got too carried away for a second!"
Su Chen smiled faintly. "I know what you're worried about. I have a way to help you out of this situation.
Of course, I won't take advantage you don't have to decide right away.
But I still hope you'll join miHoYo. After all, you two are the actors I've been searching for.
If you're not comfortable, you can wait until your company's situation improves before joining.
But before that, I'd like you to take a look at this!"
With that, Su Chen handed them the script for Honkai: Star Rail 1.0.
For some reason, Gepard felt an inexplicable force pulling at him.
He and Serval found seats and began flipping through the script.
The first part covered the Herta Space Station arc, which they skimmed through quickly.
But when the Belobog storyline appeared
It used their real names.
Not only that, the strangest thing was that despite being complete amateurs,
They didn't find the script boring or empty at all.
In the end, the two of them laughed.
"Hahaha! Little bro!" Serval looked at her brother.
"I remember you telling me when we were kids you wanted to be a military officer, right?"
"Yeah, and you said after graduation, you'd start a rock band. But look how that turned out!"
Finally, the siblings spoke in unison:
"We all had a dream!"
Su Chen smirked slyly. "So? How about we go help Cocolia now?"
——
"miHoYo, you've done it again! You played with my emotions how are you gonna make it up to me? HOW?!"
A young man lay listlessly on his sofa before reluctantly opening a group chat.
