Star Iron, building an empire starting with game development

After what seemed like an eternity, Xing finally emerged from the room, but the look of utter disbelief on her face made Toppa want to laugh.

"What's wrong, Miss Xing?" Topa asked.

"It's nothing, I just got tricked by that Opal guy. Tsk~ I'm not even a year old, and he still tricked me." Xing complained.

"Huh?" This time it was Toppa's turn to look like he was questioning his existence.

"Is there a problem? If you know about parallel worlds, then in that world, I was just printed out and put into the star core before being abandoned for various reasons. I never even got on a train, and the Black Tower despised me." Xing started to lie through his teeth after seeing Topa's expression.

Although she was saying things that she didn't know if they actually happened in her memory—was this kind of situation from a script that everyone disliked?

"I'm sorry, Miss Hoshi," Topa apologized.

"It's alright, it's alright~ I don't care about those trivial details in parallel worlds," Xing said with a wave of her hand and a smile.

"Well, it's about time, I should go." Xing glanced at the watch on her wrist, opened a spatial passage in front of Toppa, and then walked in.

"Truly worthy of being the host of the star core~" Topa exclaimed, looking at the original location of the star, which looked like nothing after it closed up.

Immortal Boat - Inside your own room

"System, tell me what happened to those memories of mine?" Xing asked.

"The special memories bestowed upon you by that deity are meant to allow you to experience a tragic storyline through those memories, so that the host will appear weak, helpless, and pitiful, before the deity personally comforts you," the system responded.

"Unfortunately, she miscalculated and failed to seal your memories from before your time travel, which caused a major blunder in her plan."

"What the hell? Did I get transported to that world with the 'group-hate' plot by some god?" Recalling the 'group-hate' plot from his memory, Xing felt goosebumps all over his body.

"No, it's just that god's twisted sense of humor. She simply discovered a world with a plot she disliked, copied Miss Xing's memories from that world, and inserted them into your memory system," the system replied.

"Phew, that's good." Xing was relieved.

"To prevent the power from breaking down when the host needs to use it in the future, I am sending you a gift package." The system said, projecting a large gift package.

"What's inside the gift package?" Xing asked curiously.

"Conceptual divine power, powerful supernatural abilities, weapons and armaments, and all kinds of alien bloodlines are available," the system responded.

"Does it have everything?" Xing thought for a moment and placed her hand on the gift bag.

"Congratulations on obtaining the new concept of divine power: Divine Body - Holy Body - A powerful divine body, no one can completely kill you. Every molecule in your body stores all your data. The energy required for resurrection depends on the host's own strength."

"Congratulations on acquiring a new weapon: the Chainsaw Sword - the Loyal Chainsaw Sword, which will never break if you are exceptionally loyal under certain circumstances."

Congratulations on acquiring the special unit: Molten Knight Sam!

"All three gifts have been distributed," the system notification indicated.

“Sam…” Star General’s attention turned to the towering Sam armor in front of him.

"Whoosh~" Flames enveloped Sam, and after the flames subsided, the petite girl appeared in front of Xing.

"Hello~ Trailblazer." The girl greeted Xing.

"Or... shall I call you a player?"

“Ah, this…” Xing was stunned.

"Just kidding. After all, that world is vibrant and full of life because of you, isn't it?" the girl said with a smile.

"Um... Hello, Firefly." Hoshi Game responded hesitantly.

"Are you wondering why I know your player identity?" Liu Ying asked with a smile, tilting her head.

"Hmm..." Xing nodded in response.

"Because our world is different from the normal world. It was a human company that discovered the main world and created that game. Our world is one of the world groups that was born from the game," Firefly explained.

"Once you, the player, download the game and log in, our world will officially begin matching and responding. So, you, the player, are the master of our world!"

"I see... Wait?! You know what I looked like back then, right?" Xing suddenly realized something.

"Of course~ We were guessing which vessel you would choose. Some people said you would choose Qiong, since you are a male player, right?" Liu Ying smiled and walked over, gently hugging Xing.

"I'm sorry, your sudden departure caused chaos for everyone in the world. The Star God of Joy, Aha, even tried to hack into the company's main computer to find you. The chaos only subsided after a self-proclaimed system found us." Liu Ying's tone was full of joy at having found you again.

"Well... I've never held hands with a woman before..." Xing was a little flustered.

"Hehe~" Liu Ying laughed.

"When you chose the star as your vessel and kept calling out 'Mama Kafka' from outside the screen, Eriol said he'd never seen anything like it before," Firefly said with a smile.

"Then, you would control the star and run around everywhere. Even when the mission guides you to fight those BOSSes, you would refuse for a long time, only caring about your own fun, ignoring the fact that those BOSS friends had been posing in place for who knows how long just to wait for you to complete the story."

“After all, there was a treasure chest.” Xing smiled and said.

“By the way, my world isn’t like that…” Xing wanted to say something, but couldn’t find the words to express it.

"Those are the 'favorite' or 'dislike' storylines written by writers in your world? No~ The relationship between all of us and the players is just a normal friendship~" Firefly responded knowing what Star wanted to ask.

"That's good. If it's the kind of girl who's the most beloved by the group, I'm a guy... well, as someone who used to be a man, I can't handle being chased by all those men," Xing said with a smile.

"But I have to say, Xing looks even more gentle and beautiful now~" Liu Ying finally noticed the difference in Xing.

"Heaven knows what kind of twisted sense of humor that god had when he threw me into this world," Xing said with a charming eye roll.

"Especially since that guy also gave me some memories of Xing from another parallel world who had a script about group hatred, I don't know if it was a game world or a novel world."

"Memory? That's Miss Black Swan's specialty," Firefly said regretfully.

"Let's talk about these memories after we summon the Black Swan," Xing said, then had the system share some things with Liuying...

"...I didn't expect you to release that game in this world, and you even plan to release Honkai Impact 3 and Genshin Impact in the future." After receiving the data for a few seconds, Liu Ying said with a strange expression.
