Exalting Sanctum Square.
The preview event continued.
Feixiao had just finished explaining the history of the Borisin and their war chiefs.
Aside from marveling at "Jingliu's ever-increasing significance," the name Hoolay had also been etched into the minds of many players.
Of course.
It wasn't because of the war chief's strength or the Borisin's terror.
But rather, he was gradually becoming the image of a jester!
Next.
A new image appeared on the big screen.
Still a silhouette.
Holding a feathered fan.
With a pair of fox ears on his forehead.
Another foxian!
Just as the related information was about to appear on the screen, Feixiao immediately recognized him!
"Ha! Isn't that Jiaoqiu!"
Sure enough!
On the left side of the screen, the two large characters "Jiaoqiu" appeared.
[No clear soup, no cilantro]
[The renowned chef among healers, Jiaoqiu]
"Huh? Who!?"
"Another expert?"
"Why no cilantro!!"
"Another foxian~"
"Never heard of this name before?"
"You're out of the loop, huh? He's the attending physician of General Feixiao."
"Got it! A 5-star Abundance character, Feixiao's dedicated support!"
Feixiao's lips curled slightly.
When she appeared in Honkai: Star Rail, she had a vague feeling that Jiaoqiu might also make an appearance.
After all, Jiaoqiu often accompanied her.
If the next version's storyline involved the Xianzhou Yaoqing, he would surely have a role.
Now, her premonition had been confirmed!
Not only would he have a role, but he would also become one of the upcoming playable characters.
Feixiao was now very curious!
After all, she was proficient in all forms of martial arts, invincible and untroubled, so it wouldn't be strange no matter how Yu Ling designed her skills.
But!
Jiaoqiu, you're a healer!
How should your skills be designed?
Surely your ultimate isn't just eating hot pot, right?
Or,
Quickly preparing a hot pot and then healing your teammates?
As Feixiao's thoughts swirled.
The screen changed once again!
[Silent and shadow-like]
[The Crow-Feathered Eccentric, Mok Ze]
Another familiar face!
Well, well, well…
All the new characters revealed this time are our own people!
Is Yu Ling planning to target Yaoqing next!?
For the players at the scene.
Perhaps a small portion of them still recognized Jiaoqiu.
After all, Jiaoqiu was the attending physician of the Sky-Smiting General, so he had some level of fame.
As for Mozé, almost no one knows him!
He is an assassin who operates in the shadows.
His missions are all those that cannot see the light of day.
Naturally, he cannot appear in the public eye.
Now that he's been exposed by the Star Rail, it's hard to say whether it's a good or bad thing.
However.
The silhouette of Mozé hadn't been revealed yet.
But as soon as it appeared,
It immediately stirred up excitement among many players!
"A hood? Dual blades? This is way too cool~~!"
"Oh my, oh my, that waistline, it's on par with Lao Bo!"
"Why did Yu Ling put my silhouette on the screen?"
"Looking at this silhouette, I'm betting she has black hair, and she's that kind of cold beauty!"
"Oh my! Then I'm totally in love!"
"Is it possible that Mozé is a guy?"
"A guy? That just makes me even more excited!"
Fei Xiao wiped the sweat from his brow.
Above, the Starskiff.
Jiaoqiu and Mozé must also be keeping an eye on the situation on the ground.
Who knows what expressions they'll have when they hear the players' discussions?
The big screen slowly dimmed.
All the players were excitedly discussing the three exposed characters.
Speculating whether they would head to the Xianzhou Yaoqing next.
At that moment!
The screen lit up again!
[Xianzhou Zhuming]
The moment these four words appeared.
The entire venue fell silent.
According to past conventions.
Each version would introduce two new five-star characters.
At most, one new four-star character would be added.
So,
Exposing three characters at once was within reason!
But it seemed this wasn't the end.
Lao Yu was still dropping bombs!
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!?"
"Wait, wait, what is this?"
"Where did this come from? Why is Xianzhou Zhuming making an appearance too!"
"Is the next version directly 3.0?"
"Hold on!? There's more?"
"Woo-hoo!! Our Xianzhou Zhuming is getting some spotlight!"
"???"
"What's going on, all the Xianzhou ships gathering together!?"
[Boundless Radiance, Flaming Brilliance]
[General Zhu Yuan, Huaiyan]
Everyone was stunned!
Not just the players below.
Even Feixiao was taken aback.
Even Huaiyan is here?
Is he also going to be added to the character pool?
Before anyone could react or catch their breath.
The silhouette changed once again!
This time, it appeared to be the silhouette of a young man holding a massive weapon.
[Strike while the iron is hot, cut off while it's early]
[One of the Eight Nights of the Flame Wheel, General Zhu Yuan, Yunli]
"I know this one! This is General Zhu Yuan's granddaughter!"
"Our Zhuming's genius swordsman!"
"Is that a sword? It's so big!"
"Ah?? How am I supposed to pull for all of them!"
"Wallet: It's over!"
...
Starskiff route.
Inside a Zhuming-style Starskiff.
Yunli, like a startled cat, suddenly jumped onto the table.
"Grandpa, grandpa!!!"
"See what I told you?!"
"I said we had to come to this preview livestream, right? We had to be here in person!"
"Look! Both of us are going to appear in Honkai: Star Rail!"
"We're so amazing!!"
Huaiyan smiled and nodded, stroking his beard.
He already had a guess in his heart.
Calculating the time.
The Luofu Martial Ceremony is not far away.
The next version's storyline is likely to involve the Astral Express temporarily returning to Xianzhou Luofu to participate in the Martial Ceremony.
Thus, the appearance of both Yaoging and Zhuming factions is only natural.
That's fine.
If we can preview the storyline in advance and foresee future risks, we can prepare accordingly.
This is undoubtedly a fortunate thing.
Beside him.
Yunli clearly didn't have as much on her mind as her grandpa.
She was excitedly jumping up and down.
"What will Yu Ling design my skills to be like?"
"I hope my most powerful move will be made into an ultimate skill..."
Just then.
A bell suddenly rang from the screen.
[Luofu, Xianzhou]
Four large characters and the corresponding Luofu emblem appeared.
Causing Huaiyan and Yunli to immediately refocus their attention on the screen!
In the end, it's going back to Luofu!
After a brief moment of surprise, Huaiyan revealed a faint smile.
His guess had been confirmed.
And down at the preview venue.
Everyone let out a collective gasp!
So loud that it could be clearly heard in the venue above!
[Returning in glory, descending upon Luofu]
[The new Alchemy Commission Director, Lingsha]
The silhouette of a woman appeared on the screen.
Even with just a silhouette, her gentle and graceful demeanor was evident.
The hearts of the Alchemy Commission players immediately skipped a beat!
A parachuted leader!
It's best to release this character as soon as possible.
By understanding her preferences through the character details, we can prepare in advance. Perhaps a smooth career path awaits us today. Of course.
More players were amazed by the sheer number of new characters!
What major events could possibly happen in the next version?
[A legendary prodigy swordsman]
At this moment.
The image of a young girl appeared on the screen once more.
Carrying twin swords.
Her hair seemed to be tied in symmetrical braids.
Her figure was petite and delicate.
While the previous characters all had names, this one only had this title!
But she appeared under the banner of Xianzhou Luofu.
Clearly belonging to the Luofu faction!
And this mysterious newcomer immediately sparked speculation among all the players!
"?????"
"Who is this? Is it necessary to be so mysterious?"
"It must be someone we know! Otherwise, Yu Ling wouldn't do something like this!"
"Tingyun, is that you?"
"Tingyun has been reborn. She abandoned literature for martial arts, wielding dual swords. In this life, she is determined to reclaim everything she has lost!"
"I feel like it might be March 7th."
"Wow, a new form for March 7th? I'd sell everything I have to pull for her!"
"Help! Just kill me, how am I supposed to handle so many new characters?"
