The scene of Nero sitting on the ground petting Pom Pom looked extremely pleasant.
For people who like "cute" things, this kind of scene was obviously a critical hit, and those players who had no resistance to "cuteness" had already dropped dead on the spot.
Putting Nero and Pom Pom together really did have overwhelming destructive power. Even across two worlds they could still shoot straight into a tough guy's maiden heart.
[Rubber Beater: Aaaaah!!! I also want to pet Pom Pom! I also want to be held by Nero! (rolling on the floor).]
[Shut-In Old Otaku: I think the main point isn't even that. Don't you guys think Pom Pom looks like they're about to ascend from sheer pleasure?]
[Bunny: Of course Pom Pom's happy, look at Nero's movements, there's technique.]
Siberian Duck gritted her teeth and thumped the table several times.
"I want to touch him too! I definitely can't touch Nero, but Pom Pom should be allowed, right? I must buy a Pom Pom plushy!"
The story continued. Pom Pom quickly fled in panic, and then March began complaining to Nero about Pom Pom not letting her touch him.
"It's confirmed, Pom Pom really has double-standards!" Siberian Duck said.
[Big Liar: Double-standard conductor, it's too obvious.]
[Cold-Edged Maniac: Calls me dumb and scatterbrained, then turns speechless from Nero's beauty. Won't let March touch him, but no matter how Nero touches him he's not angry. Pom Pom, I advise you not to go too far!]
[Just Restart, It's Hopeless: I get it, the conductor's a face-con. If you're not good-looking to a certain degree, you're not allowed to touch.]
[Wind Beyond the Wall: This Pom Pom is trash!]
[Balding More Each Day: Ever since I started shipping Nero, inspiration won't stop bursting out of me. This scene is too good. I'm going to rush more drafts!]
[My Pee is Yellow: Bro please rest! I'm scared that if you die from overwork I won't get any more good fappable content!]
Siberian Duck noticed Balding More Each Day's comment.
To be honest, she had already carefully studied both of the doujins that person had drawn before. Whether it was the composition or the art style, it was exactly her type, and the technique was very good, even thoughtfully colored.
With the mindset of protecting the doujins she liked, she had to speak up and show concern for this artist.
"Mr. Bald, is your liver still okay?"
[Balding More Each Day: What a joke! Every hair on my head is a liver! For Nero, I've gone completely insane!]
After the Pom Pom-petting incident, the live room returned to its lively, cheerful mood.
Next, March 7 took Grandpa and Nero to tour the train and look for rooms.
The viewers mocked Dan Heng's shabby floor bedding in the data room, admired March's beautiful girl room, but in the end, no one expected that the shabbiest room was actually theirs.
The new guest room actually looked pretty good, clean and tidy, but way too empty.
After touring the room, Pom Pom announced that the jump was about to begin. Siberian Duck controlled the character to return to the observation car.
She followed the mission pointer to find Pom Pom. Except for Dan Heng, everyone was there.
Pom Pom said that Dan Heng wouldn't come here and they didn't need to worry about him.
After finishing the conversation with Pom Pom, she followed the mission markers forward, and then saw Nero collapsed on the sofa, as if his soul had departed this world.
Triggering the dialogue here, Himeko would say that Nero had just drunk the coffee she brewed.
Right after that, Nero woke up, then got up and sat next to Old Yang, and Grandpa began a conversation with March.
"Huh? Himeko's coffee knocked Nero out?"
[I Use Pantene: Judging from earlier behavior, Nero should be quite the foodie, but a single cup of Himeko's coffee knocked him flat. Hard to imagine what kind of coffee that must've been.]
[If You Dare, Read My ID: I hereby declare Himeko's coffee the ultimate weapon of the Astral Express!]
[Baby Seal: Gulu Gulu Rolling-Down-the-Mountain True Lord can choke an Archon to death, what's wrong with my Sister Himeko having coffee with slightly higher damage?]
[Star Rail 10-Year Veteran: Nothing wrong, absolutely nothing! Very reasonable, extremely reasonable!]
[One Punch For You: The funniest part is that after waking up, Nero even gave Himeko a thumbs-up! He didn't say a single word, but somehow it felt like he said everything.]
[Pom Pom: Do you think Nero was being sarcastic or genuinely praising her?]
[One Punch For You: Judging from Nero's personality, I think he was really praising her. But considering his experiences… it feels more like sarcasm!]
[Ayooo~: Definitely pure praise! Nero is a good boy, he even went over to sit with Old Yang when he saw him sitting alone!]
[Nero's Dog: He's so gentle, I'm crying to death!]
Finally, Siberian Duck played the story until the jump finished, then stretched.
She checked the time. Today's streaming quota was already enough.
So she said, "Let's stop here for today. We'll continue exploring tomorrow."
And just as she was about to end the stream, a comment floated into view.
[Everlasting: Host, the official account released Nero's character art. Aren't you going to look?]
"The official released Nero's character art?"
Siberian Duck blinked, then skillfully closed the game and went to the official Honkai: Star Rail account to look for the post.
"Since the official art is out, let's take a look before ending the stream."
Saying that, she found the newest post and tapped it open.
The character art's setting was in a pleasant forest. Nero's position was very high off the ground, seemingly under the canopy of those tall trees.
In the character art, Nero had changed out of his cyan clothes from the story and was wearing a white robe. It indeed looked a bit fairy-like, but his sunny smile kept him from appearing aloof and lonely.
A pitch-black wide-bladed greatsword floated in the air, supporting Nero, who was lying on it in a lazy posture. The sword looked far longer than Nero.
In the bottom left corner of the picture were the words "Cosmic Sword Immortal, Nero," with a gentle wind curling around the font.
And in the top right corner was a short line: [You can't even dodge my jump-strike and you still want me to get serious? Hmph! Very well. Watch closely, this strike will use one percent of my power!]
"Sloourp… Nero is so cute…" Siberian Duck sucked in a bit of drool as she stared at the screen.
[Pom Pom: He really is cute. But wow the caption on the right is so pretentious!]
[Everlasting: What's wrong with the sword immortal of the Xianzhou acting cool? He's already a Cosmic Sword Immortal, it's perfectly reasonable for him to sound strong!]
[I Use Pantene: I'm more curious about who he's saying that to! Haha!]
[Squidward's Silence: Jump-strike again! Nero really loves jump-striking, huh!]
[asdofh: Can't help it. Jump-striking is simple, direct, and effective. Really suits Nero's personality. This, we call "returning to basics"!]
The viewers began an enthusiastic discussion about the character art.
But the art itself wasn't the funniest thing, the funniest part was the official caption: [Let you see him first, but you can't pull yet!]
There was even a little dog-head tongue-out emoji, openly admitting they posted the art just to annoy people.
Thus, the comment section under the post looked like this...
[Stop Competing, Stop Competing: Mihoyo! I advise you to be kind!]
[Toward the Stars, Thank You: Who exactly is using this official account? I'm sending you some local specialties!]
[Wandering Girl: Stop with the nonsense. Just say it, when is Nero entering the banner?]
[Honkai: Star Rail Official Reply to Wandering Girl: Still a long way off.]
