Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Explosive Updates!

[Silver Wolf's Current Boyfriend: Huh? Why isn't it my Silver Wolf?]

[Kafka's Dog: Quit complaining, at least we got something! Brb, gonna watch the PV!]

Soon, the group chat fell silent.

The young man opened Bilibili.

The latest update read: New video released "March 7th Character PV: ' Let's Take a Photo!'"

Following the principle of watching videos while they're still fresh, he noted that despite being uploaded less than 10 minutes ago, the PV already had a staggering 100,000 concurrent viewers!

Without hesitation, he entered the viewing room.

Perfect timing the PV had just started, and the barrage of comments was already flooding in.

After the iconic miHoYo logo appeared, the video officially began.

——

The screen displayed a pristine white planet, labeled Jarilo-VI.

The camera then zoomed out, revealing March 7th's figure.

She was leaning against a windowsill, exclaiming, "Wow!"

Then, she pulled out the camera hanging at her waist and struck a pose, ready to press the shutter.

"Gotta photograph everything I've never seen before!"

With two click sounds, the screen flashed, cutting to a close-up of March 7th's face.

She winked at the camera, flashing a dazzling smile.

"That way, I won't forget!"

[miHoYo, you're still the best at character close-ups!]

[I jolted up from my deathbed my wife March 7th!]

[Photograph me, please, March 7th, photograph me!]

[How dare you! She's clearly my beloved concubine!]

[Such a cute girl would definitely make a great wife, right?]

[This makes my heart itch how can a girl be this adorable?]

"Wait, wait, wait for me!"

A smooth transition effect shifted March 7th from the photo close-up back to reality.

Clutching her camera, she hurried to catch up with Dan Heng.

The next moment.

The perspective switched to the camera's viewfinder. Suddenly, March 7th dashed into the frame from off-screen.

"Haha!"

She struck a starfish pose, then plopped onto a bench.

Right then,

March 7th's face pressed right up against the lens, her head looking round and unbearably cute.

[Ahh, my heart!]

[What the this, this, this looks kinda derpy!]

[Well, yeah, it's a little silly, but it fits her character surprisingly well!]

[March 7th is totally the bubbly, cute girl type.]

Next, March 7th aimed the camera around a room with a massive gear.

"Ah!" Her eyes met the lens as if looking directly at the audience.

She seemed to spot something fascinating, snapping photos left and right.

"Pom-Pom would love this!"

"Ah! Over there!"

At that moment, March 7th froze, staring at a shard of ice. "That place is…"

When her fingers touched it, a blinding white light erupted.

The camera rapidly zoomed forward blue skies, white clouds, then space, shooting stars.

The scenes switched rapidly: fleeting snowflakes, glimmering ice crystals.

Finally, a girl sealed inside a block of ice appeared March 7th herself.

The camera abruptly rewound, stopping on a dark, frozen mass.

March 7th's eyes snapped open.

Two flaming humanoid creatures streaked past behind her.

March 7th smirked, her hands glowing with prismatic light.

"Are you here to be my models?"

She drew her bow, and countless ice arrows materialized above the enemies.

In an instant, all foes were frozen solid.

The camera then gave each enemy a close-up:

A robot, a traffic light, a mechanical claw-like machine.

"Tsk, these poses!"

March 7th shook her head at the frozen monsters. "Ugh, you guys are terrible at photos!"

The next moment, she leaped into the air.

"Let me show you how it's done!"

Her movements were graceful as she drew a massive arrow,

which then split into a barrage of bunny-shaped projectiles raining down.

This move had appeared in Season 1.

Finally, March 7th raised her camera, framing all the frozen enemies in the shot.

She flashed a peace sign. "Say cheese!"

With a camera flash, the scene returned to the Express.

A hand held up a photo clearly from someone's first-person perspective,

heightening the audience's immersion.

"So? Pretty cool, right?"

"Hmm?" March 7th leaned into the frame, like a dream girlfriend. "You're still spacing out?"

"Eh?" She smiled, sitting down beside the viewer and lifting her camera. "Watch!"

Click!

The Honkai: Star Rail and Express logos appeared.

But then,

March 7th delivered one last line.

"The first photo together is mine!"

[AHHH!!! That's cheating! Why use first-person POV this time?! She was so close just now!]

[Cute, so cute, too cute!]

[She's too good at this I can't compete!]

[Nooo, I blinked! I demand a retake!]

[Official statement: I've surrendered to March 7th's beauty. Take note, everyone.]

[The first-person perspective was great for immersion, but let's not get carried away—March 7th is my wife. Thanks!]

[In your dreams!]

[AHHHH!!!! I need Season 2 NOW! I need March 7th!]

[Wait, something feels off… Why was March 7th sealed in ice?]

[Wait, really?!]

[Bro, you were too busy staring at her face to notice!]

[Are they gonna pull a tragic twist?!]

[Don't you dare scare me like that! If March 7th gets hurt, I'm storming miHoYo! Speaking of—where's their office?]

[No idea! They've never revealed it!]

[That's the weird part!]

[The streets, settings, and enemies here are nothing like Herta Space Station… Is this a Season 2 teaser?]

[Could be! miHoYo doesn't do random stuff. I get it now—this is both a character PV and a Season 2 preview!]

[Exactly! The Express's next stop after picking up Caelus should be this place!]

[It's called Jarilo-VI… So they're feeding us hints through the PV?]

[Forget hints—just release Season 2 ALREADY!]

[Yo! miHoYo's account is dropping updates like crazy!]
