Create a game called "Collapse Iron," where the entire universe is the player.

Inside the Black Tower's secret storage room.

"Alright, stop playing around, I've made my choice." Kafka's voice interrupted the comical scene before her.

She held a star core in her hand, which exuded an aura of corrosiveness.

Silver Wolf stood up, took the virtual screen that Kafka tossed to him, and began typing rapidly with his fingertips.

The information displayed on the screen is about a "star".

Standing to the side, Lin Lin couldn't help but sigh, "Girls are great! At least they're cute!"

Silver Wolf glanced at him, rolled his eyes, but didn't stop what he was doing.

Before long, the carrier of the star gradually took shape, like a 3D print.

Kafka slowly walked forward, facing the sleeping Star, his gaze carefully tracing her face, a barely perceptible hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

"How much does she remember?"

Silver Wolf casually replied, "At least I'll remember you."

"Time to get up."

Lin Lin watched as Kafka forcefully pressed the star core into Xing's chest, instinctively recognizing the face.

"Be gentle...you're crushing my breasts!"

"Hey! Why did you kick me!" He clutched his thigh, looking at Silver Wolf with a wronged expression.

"If you keep making noise, I'll shove a star core into your mouth next time." Silver Wolf revealed his little tiger teeth, his tone threatening.

Lin Lin immediately made a zipper gesture in front of his mouth and wisely shut up.

The three waited quietly for Xing to open her eyes.

While waiting, Lin Lin asked the two men to purchase his portrait rights.

As expected, I was rejected.

"Just agree! When the game is released, I'll let you have priority access!" Lin Lin tried to tempt Silver Wolf.

"What kind of game is it? How long will it take to finish?"

Silver Wolf spoke in a calm tone, as if it were just a casual question.

"It's a story about Star Future's adventure. As for the release date... the earliest we can expect is after the Star Train leaves the Black Tower Space Station." Lin Lin pondered seriously.

He's really fast—of course, I'm referring to the game's production progress.

It's a pity that I haven't slept or rested for the past few days, and my hair is falling out in clumps.

It's all this damn system's fault! Couldn't they just give me the code directly?!

[Note: Stealing game code is illegal.]

Lin Lin: You bastard, you actually know a lot about the law!

Kafka and Silver Wolf became interested when they heard that the story was about stars.

"Okay, let us know when the time comes," Silver Wolf decided.

Kafka, however, had some concerns: "Won't this affect the future of the stars?"

"Just ask Eriol."

Just then, the sound of Xing Su waking up was heard.

Lin Lin immediately stepped aside, silently serving as a background figure, while secretly recording everything in his hands.

After four "Listen to me"s, Xing was lulled to sleep again.

Before leaving, Lin Lin successfully added Kafka and Silver Wolf as friends.

Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway Official Website requests to add Silverfinger and Kaffa as friends.

The profile picture is March 7th.

This account was provided by the system and is said to be at the highest level of security.

"Honkai Impact: Star Railway? The game name? You'd better hurry up." Silver Wolf bared his fangs, shook his fist, and threatened with a half-smile.

"I'm looking forward to it," Kafka said gently.

The two then left.

Only Lin Lin and Xing, who had fallen into a coma again, remained in the collection room.

Should I leave?

Lin Lin looked around, unsure of where to go next.

At this moment, he was like a small boat on a vast ocean.

Lonely, with nowhere to turn.

A strange world, people who are familiar yet strange.

Really...

"Danheng! Look! There's someone here! But they don't seem to be from the space station!"

A familiar shouting sound came from behind.

It felt welcoming and inexplicably reassuring.

It was as if it had pointed out the direction for this lone boat.

Boarding the train, watching the protagonist group's future pioneering journey, and enjoying the scenery along the way—it seems like a good choice.

As soon as Dan Heng entered, he stopped San Yueqi, who wanted to step forward to help Fu Xing, and looked Lin Lin up and down warily.

So suspicious.

How could an ordinary person appear here?

Lin Lin met Dan Heng's unfriendly gaze and quickly took out his temporary pass for the Black Tower Space Station.

"Lin Lin, a guest of the Black Tower Space Station, Miss Estella also knows me!"

Dan Heng then put down the Cloud-Striking Sword in his hand.

"I knew it! Lin Lin looks like a good person!" Based on her first impression, March 7th smiled and moved closer to Lin Lin.

Good guy!

So I got friend-zoned?

Lin Lin stepped aside to make room for the two of them.

"Danheng! Come quick!" March 7th crouched down to check on the unconscious Xing.

"Who sent us the coordinates?" Dan Heng pretended to be deep in thought, but his gaze kept glancing at Lin Lin.

That's so hard to guess!

Lin Lin remained silent.

Danheng, what do you mean by this?

On March 7th, he naively asked, "Mr. Lin... did you discover anything when you came?"

There was a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

It really is you, silly March.

Did you forget your name so quickly?

Dan Heng rubbed his forehead, seemingly embarrassed for March 7th as well.

"My name is Lin Lin. Of course I've discovered something—two bad guys have knocked this 'little' girl unconscious." Lin Lin said earnestly.

March 7th silently glanced at Xing lying on the ground.

Judging by appearance, he's a head taller than her.

Is this what you call a little girl?

"What kind of bad guy is he?" March 7th immediately switched to detective mode, looking quite intelligent.

"2.45 billion."

Faced with this string of numbers:

March 7th's usual disconnection: "Hmm? Password?"

Dan Heng understood: "I heard that the Black Tower Lady built the space station to suppress the star core, and they may be doing it for the same reason."

Lin Lin nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."

Only March 7th looked completely bewildered, its little head filled with a huge question.

Just then, Xing was finally woken up.

Unfortunately, because Lin Lin was present, that famous scene couldn't be reenacted—but it can be made into a game Easter egg later.

Xing, who had just woken up, pressed her forehead with one hand and was a little unsteady on her feet.

March 7th asked with concern, "Are you alright? Can you hear me? Do you remember your name?"

Xing thought for a moment and said, "My name is Xing."

Lin Lin suddenly thought of the following words: Kong, Ying, Xing, Qiong, Ling, Zhe.

They are all single-character IDs.

"Star? Hello, I'm Danheng. This is March 7th." Danheng introduced, pointing to the pink-haired girl.

"He is..." Dan Heng pointed at Lin Lin, but before he could finish speaking, he was still speaking.

March 7th interjected, "His name is Lin Lin! I'll remember this time!"

It turned out that the girl had been silent all this time because she was trying hard to remember Lin Lin's name.

"Who are you?" Xing looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression.

March 7th: "Danheng and I are members of the Starry Sky Train, please take care of us!"

When it was Lin Lin's turn, he cleared his throat: "Lin Lin, the greatest game pioneer in the entire universe in the future."

The three people: "???"

Seeing their confused expressions, Lin Lin knew that he couldn't explain it in a short time, so he simply stopped talking.

"Once my game is finished, you're welcome to come and play." He handed Xing a high-tech camera.

Xinglu looked puzzled.

Lin Lin explained, "This is a gift for you—a remote-controlled flying toy."

Toy!

Now I understand.

Xing nodded and followed Lin Lin's instructions to activate the circular camera.

Once activated, it floats steadily beside the star.

"Do you want them?" Lin Lin asked, looking at Dan Heng and San Yueqi.

Both of them shook their heads.

This is clearly a camera.

"Alright," Lin Lin said, not pressuring him further.

Next, Danheng suggested that he go to the nearby Defense Section to find Alan.

March 7th: "Huh? I'm supposed to protect both of them by myself? Okay... be careful!"

After Danheng left.

On March 7th, he noticed the Black Tower's collection nearby—a baseball bat.

"Xing, why don't you take this?"

March 7 explained, "The antimatter legion is running rampant around the space station, and it's not safe to go back. It's better to bring a weapon for self-defense."

"Hehe, it's just a suggestion, of course—but it's okay, I'm here for you!" March 7th patted his chest.

And so, the three of them overcame all obstacles and arrived at the space elevator.

The main thing is that March 7th and Xing are fighting monsters—Lin Lin is currently powerless to even kill a chicken.

We can't exactly let him use gold coins to attack the antimatter legion, can we?

As expected, we still need to finish making "Collapse Iron" first.

After meeting up with Danheng, the group took the internal elevator to the main control section.

Lin Lin finally met Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train.

Her long, slightly wavy, wine-red hair fell to her shoulders, her golden-brown eyes were warm and bright, and her face was gentle and intellectual.

Wearing a sophisticated platinum gown, she exudes elegance and showcases the gentle grace and poise of a mature and sophisticated woman.

"The two of you?" Himeko's gaze swept over Hoshi and Rin.

"Hello, Ms. Himeko. My name is Lin Lin." Since she had decided to board the train, she naturally wanted to make a good impression on the navigator.

"Hello, I've heard Estella mention you before," Himeko replied with a smile.

Estelle: This ordinary person who inexplicably appeared on the space station can keep pulling out gold coins from her pocket, and it seems that she has been valued by Lady Black Tower.

It's an amazing ability.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

Himeko glanced at Hoshino, who was idly poking at the camera, her eyes filled with concern.

"Let's go, Estella is very worried about you."

……

Next, the group proceeded along the main storyline.

Throughout the journey, Lin Lin kept thinking about the details of the game.

There's a treasure chest in this place.

—There's an old NPC here.

—The World Store is located here.

—Oh, right, there are also a few dimensional piggy banks.

With his god-like artistic skills, Lin Lin paints like a human camera.

This action left everyone on the train speechless.

Xing asked curiously, "Lin Lin, what are you doing?"

"Design the game scene." Lin Lin said without looking up.

"What kind of game is it?" March 7th tilted his head as he looked at his sketches.

"A realistic, classical-style miniature garden game," Lin Lin replied quickly.

Realistic or classical?

Xing and March 7 exchanged a glance, their faces full of confusion.

"Reality means that the game will develop according to your real-world progress—of course, it may surpass that in the future." Lin Lin left himself a safety net.

If the game progresses beyond reality, there's nothing we can do about it.

He will schedule the update time for each major version based on the movement trajectory of the Star Train.

"Classical refers to gameplay that leans towards a traditional style," Lin Lin shook his head.

March 7th was even more confused: "According to our progress... what does that mean?"

"In this game, the Star Train is the main character! All the plot points serve you," Lin Lin said confidently.

Xing's eyes lit up: "Yay! I'm the main character!"

Lin Lin nodded. What you said makes perfect sense.

Himeko and Danheng, who were standing nearby, listened to the conversation between the three of them and gradually began to understand the underlying meaning.

Could this Lin Lin... possibly foresee the future?

"By the way, can you all authorize me to use your portrait rights? Don't worry, it won't be a prank, it will be completely truthful." Lin Lin suddenly remembered this.

As he spoke, he took out a gold coin and tossed it to Xing.

"I'll buy it with these gold coins, I'm rich!"

Xing took the gold coin, looking puzzled. "What's this for?"

Lin Lin waved his hand: "We can buy trash cans."

garbage can!

These three words seemed to have triggered some kind of switch.

Xing chuckled foolishly.

March 7th touched Xing's forehead with a worried look—no fever?

Finally, the five of them arrived near the platform.

Lin Lin could see the Starry Sky Train parked there in the distance.

He instinctively took two steps back, shielding everyone in front of him.

I remember... that doomsday beast should be making its appearance by now, right?

Sure enough, a sudden gust of wind made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.

The cause of all this is the Doomsday Beast.

A gigantic, jet-black mechanical beast, its body twisted and ferocious, covered in dark armor, with sharp claws and menacing fangs.

A scarlet core was embedded in his chest, and his body was surrounded by a destructive black mist, giving him an extremely oppressive aura.

After a fierce battle—actually, it was a few railgun shots fired by Himeko that subdued the Doomsday Beast.

Lin Lin happily took photos and sketches in the background, recording details in preparation for building the monster model.

The dying Doomsday Beast unleashed its last burst of energy.

To protect March 7th, the star was filled with energy imbued with "destructive" power.

Immediately, she was glanced at by Nanuk, the "Destruction" star god, and her consciousness fell into the narrow passage of fate.

Just as Xing was about to collapse, Walter Young arrived and came to her rescue.

Unfortunately, Lin Lin couldn't see what was happening in the narrow passage of fate.

Ugh, I have to hand-rub it again.

"System, is there any way?"

I'll handle this.

"You're finally of some use." Lin Lin hadn't held out much hope, but the system gave him a pleasant surprise.

Ultimately, everything seemed to be resolved.

Black Tower specifically took the time to look at Xing, intending to use her for experiments.

The Starry Sky Train will stop here for a while, allowing Hoshino to consider Himeko's invitation.

It would be such a loss of face not to invite Lin Lin!

During the train's stop, Xing helped several space station staff members by rummaging through all the station's trash cans.

I also tested a simulated universe.

Lin Lin, shameless as ever, accompanied them throughout the process under the pretext of "admiring the genius invention," and finally obtained the data for the DLC simulated universe.

Afterwards, Lin Lin brought up the game with Black Tower.

The other party had only one request: "You're a genius in the game, remember to build it according to reality. I'm afraid your imagined Black Tower won't be even one ten-thousandth as intelligent as the real Black Tower."

"After all, you can't understand geniuses."

Lin Lin: "..."

Are you insulting me, or praising yourself?

"Yes, Ms. Heta! I understand perfectly, Ms. Heta!"

In the days that followed, Lin Lin worked frantically to finish the project.

The goal is to complete the storyline of game 1.0 before the Star Train departs.

Platform, Starry Sky Train.

The day of departure has arrived.

Xing hasn't decided whether to get on the bus yet.

She then asked everyone present, including Lin Lin.

What do you think?

Lin Lin looked at her and smiled: "The train will wait for you, but the story won't. However—whether you get on the train or not, your story has already begun."
