Starry Sky Railway: I develop mobile games in Xianzhou

Chapter 26: A Preview of the Trailblazer’s Journey? The Internet Hunts for the Developer!

Shock Across the Livestream

’ “No way! Is this for real? The game actually continues?!”

’ “We’re really Nameless now!”

’ “That’s impossible, right? The next part of the story is literally happening right now in real life. The devs aren’t just making this up as they go… are they?”

’ “If there’s actually another world to explore, I will get on my knees and worship the devs!”

’ “I’m recharging for 10x 648 pulls on the spot!”

Even Gui Naifen couldn’t hide her excitement.

She felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness—

What if this was just a tease, and there was no new map after all?

After all—

It was already astonishing that the game had perfectly recreated the Legion’s invasion of the Herta Space Station.

But there was no way they could be turning the Trailblazer’s current journey into a game, right?

That would be too insane.

And Yet—

This developer had already shattered expectations once.

And sure enough—

As the train warped, the screen shifted—@@novelbin@@

Revealing a planet covered in ice and snow.

The crew explained—

This white planet was Jarilo-VI.

And this was where the Trailblazer, Dan Heng, and March 7th would conduct their next expedition.

Mission Objective: Stellarion Removal

Their goal—

Find the Stellaron on Jarilo-VI and remove its influence blocking the Star Rail.

A mission titled—

“A Chilling Adventure in the Winter of Desolation Begins!”

A New Main Quest?

“Wait—so this is actually a main story update?”

Even Gui Naifen was in disbelief.

“If we keep playing… isn’t this basically watching the Trailblazer’s journey in real-time?”

Her words sent the chat into a frenzy.

Chat Reactions

’ “No way! The space station arc happened a while ago. If the Trailblazer is efficient, they might already be done with Jarilo-VI, or at least close to finishing it.”

’ “Can any Astral Express crew confirm? Did they really go to this planet?”

’ “I’m Walter. Send me a 648 recharge, and I’ll tell you where March 7th is. My account is—”

On the Astral Express

But on the train itself—

Himeko and Walter had no time to joke around.

Watching the Trailblazer, March 7th, and Dan Heng explore Jarilo-VI’s icy wilderness—

Their minds were in turmoil.

“This… shouldn’t be possible.”

Walter furrowed his brows.

“Dan Heng only just sent us the expedition logs today. We just finished reading them. How is this already a part of the game’s story?”

He felt a deep sense of unease.

“Himeko, something isn’t right.”

A Developer That Shouldn’t Exist

With a serious expression, Himeko turned her laptop screen toward Walter.

“I searched every corner of the Intergalactic Peace Network—”

“This game came out of nowhere. There was zero prior information or announcements.”

“And the developer—[Feather Spirit]—doesn’t exist.”

“Other than that codename, we know nothing about them.”

Walter took a deep breath.

After a moment of silence, he spoke—

“This is getting even stranger.”

The Impossible Connection

“At first, the space station arc still made logical sense.”

“But now—even the Trailblazer’s current expedition is being played out in the game?”

“No ordinary development team could accomplish this.”

“I suspect… this so-called developer, [Feather Spirit], possesses some kind of [precognition] or [omniscience].”

Himeko nodded.

“If that’s the case, then why turn all this into a game?”

“It can’t just be about money, can it?”

“Of course not.”

“Maybe… we’ll find out if we keep playing.”

“Dan Heng’s logs were detailed, and March 7th even attached some photos—”

“But this game? It’s like seeing the events firsthand.”

“We can compare it to the logs and find out just how deep this game’s knowledge really goes.”

“I want to see just how far this game’s story can go.”

Meanwhile—On a Windy Rooftop

The cold wind howled, but it didn’t slow Silver Wolf’s fingers as she furiously hacked away at the system.

Kafka, still playing Honkai: Star Rail, would occasionally glance over to check Silver Wolf’s progress.

Then, suddenly—

A Frustrating Dead End

“Wait—this can’t be real…”

“There’s literally nothing on them?”

“It’s like [Feather Spirit] never existed!”

Silver Wolf collapsed into her chair in frustration.

For a hacker, failing to find a target’s digital footprint was one of the worst possible feelings.

Even Kafka Was Surprised

“Even you can’t find anything on them?”

Silver Wolf sighed.

“Yeah. [Feather Spirit] left no traces online whatsoever.”

“The only way to backtrace them is through the game’s distribution records.”

“I even hacked into the company’s publishing system—”

“And guess what?”

“The moment I tried to track [Feather Spirit]— all data vanished.”

“It was like they disappeared into an invisible void.”

“Do you know what that means?”

“Their security system is even more ridiculous than IPC’s firewall!”

“No—it’s not even on the same level.”

Kafka patted Silver Wolf’s back reassuringly.

“Alright, alright. The universe is vast. Even we don’t get our way every time.”

Elio’s Perspective

“What about Elio?”

“Did he foresee any of this?”

Silver Wolf frowned.

“Elio’s conclusion was the same as ours.”

“This game’s existence wasn’t in any of his predictions. Even he’s confused.”

“That’s… unsettling.”

Kafka had nothing to say.

Destruction and direct action—those were things she understood.

But this situation?

It was different.

But Silver Wolf Wasn’t Done Yet

Just then—

Silver Wolf suddenly **jumped
