"Hmm? Already updated?"
Silver Wolf looked with surprise at the update screen.
"Weren't they saying it would take 30 minutes? But it's done in less than 20?"
She swiftly logged into her account and entered the game!
Her goal was to summon herself within Honkai: Star Rail as soon as possible!
Then she intended to meticulously study her skills and mechanics!
Warp 10 times!
Skip!
Warp 10 times!
Skip!
"My luck isn't bad; I already reached full Eidolon after just over 500 pulls."
After unlocking all six layers of the Eidolon,
Silver Wolf immediately delved into researching her detailed skills.
Skill: Permission to Alter?
Ultimate: [Account Suspended.]
Talent: Waiting for system response...
Nice, nice, nice.
So that's how you name my skills, huh?
As Silver Wolf read the skill descriptions, she couldn't help but gasp sharply!
"It can ignore attributes to inflict weakness on enemies?"
"And even reduce their defense and resistance?"
"This skill mechanism... is quite intriguing!"
Silver Wolf had already surmised that as a Quantum Attribute character with Nihility Destiny, her skills would likely involve debuffing enemies.
But she didn't expect the developers to be this audacious!
The Weakness Attribute was one of the core mechanics in the game, influencing team compositions and damage output strategies. For a long time ahead, this system was unlikely to change significantly.
However, now—
Silver Wolf herself—
possessed a Skill capable of disrupting these rules at will!
Currently, there weren't enough characters available. But once more Quantum Attributes like Coherence, Abundance, or Preservation were introduced in future updates, her ability could effectively implant stable Quantum Attribute weaknesses!
Regardless of the enemy faced, it would then become feasible to employ a Quantum team strategy!
A true quantum battleship!
"Feathered Spirit might likely promote mono-color teams in the future..." Silver Wolf instantly realized this implication.
In that case...
She would undoubtedly become a must-have character within Honkai: Star Rail!
Next, let's examine her Eidolons:
One Eidolon provides energy recovery, capped at a maximum of 35 points per use!
Her Ultimate skill only had 110 Energy before!
The Two-Star Eidolon directly reduced the target's Effect RES by 20%.
The Four-Star Eidolon added extra damage to her Ultimate.
And at Six-Star Eidolon, it became even more straightforward and powerful:
[For each debuff on the enemy target, Silver Wolf's damage increases by 20%, with a maximum increase of 100%.]
"Heh..." Seeing this Eidolon description, Silver Wolf couldn't help but chuckle.
She had naturally studied the limited-time five-star characters Seele and Jing Yuan when they were released earlier. However, their Eidolon upgrades were relatively conservative compared to hers.
With her new abilities, there was a satisfying sense of exponential growth.
Equipping the Quantum Set she previously farmed, Silver Wolf eagerly dove back into battling monsters.
After experiencing the enhanced gameplay loop, she couldn't help but marvel at her significantly increased damage output! With just one blast from her Ultimate ability, she nearly matched Seele's firepower!
Of course, this was because she had drawn the fully upgraded Eidolon. Her character transformed from merely a debuff-support role into one capable of both applying debuffs and dealing significant damage!
For ordinary players who drew with zero souls, they would have to focus primarily on cultivating the character's utility aspect.
Suddenly, March 7th let out a cheer next to her.
"Yay!"
"The pity pull didn't go wrong!"
Silver Wolf leaned over and glanced at the screen, then remarked with a significant tone, "Getting excited over just drawing a zero-soul character? I suggest going all-in for a full-soul draw instead. This character embodies sheer power; obtaining a full-soul version holds immense potential!"
"You make it sound so easy! Do you think I have that much Stellar Jade?" March 7th retorted.
"That's simple, I'll help you."
Silver Wolf swiftly executed a dazzling series of actions on the screen.
"I discovered a bug while trying out the trial version earlier," she explained. "Well, maybe not exactly a bug—it's likely some leftover code from the latest update."
"Using this, I can send a bonus to all Honkai: Star Rail players!"
"Heh heh, serves Feathered Spirit right for being careless—finally caught him slipping!"
Kafka looked puzzled and said, "Feathered Spirit... could he really have such an obvious oversight? Why do I feel like he intentionally let you see it?"
"I don't care; this is too good of an opportunity to pass up! We must take full advantage."
As Silver Wolf spoke, her small hand trembled slightly.
She typed the number 1600 onto the screen,
meaning she would send every player on the server a reward of 1600 Stellar Jade for free!
Proudly, Silver Wolf also added her doodle as an emoticon to the email.
March 7th was utterly stunned by this sight.
"Y-you're cheating!"
Unfazed, Silver Wolf replied, "What do you think? Did I keep my promise or not?"
March 7th felt somewhat uneasy.
Honestly, she had always held the game in high regard and admired its creator, Feathered Spirit, with curiosity and reverence.
Witnessing Silver Wolf exploit a bug to distribute rewards to all players, March 7th instinctively wanted to stop her, even considering reporting the incident.
However, when she saw the Stellar Jade appear in her inbox, her thoughts abruptly changed!
"Why should I report Silver Wolf? She's practically admitting it by including her emoji in the mail."
"This is actually beneficial for all players!"
"Feathered Spirit probably wouldn't mind either..."
Licking her lips, she exclaimed, "Silver Wolf, isn't this going too far?!"
"What's the point of just giving out Stellar Jade? Players can barely keep up with nurturing their current characters as it is."
"Shouldn't we receive ten more stamina refills each then?"
Taken aback momentarily, Silver Wolf exchanged glances with March 7th and grinned.
"You're right!"
"Let's grab another ten stamina boosts before this glitch gets fixed!"
"Yes!"
March 7th nearly high-fived Silver Wolf in excitement.
After calming down, she turned to Stelle, who looked utterly astonished, and said, "Suddenly, I feel like...the Stellaron Hunters aren't so bad after all."
"They're actually pretty decent; there might be future collaboration opportunities between them and the Astral Express Crew."
Instantly, Stelle placed her hands on her hips and sternly warned, "March, how could you compromise your principles like that!"
"Is that little reward from Silver Wolf enough to sway you?"
"Don't smoke anymore!"
"Save your Stellar Jade!"
"This must be Kama's test for us!"
Kafka, standing nearby, broke into a radiant smile as moonlight illuminated her face—both beautiful and gentle.
Having just sent ten fuel tubes, Silver Wolf spread her hands wide.
"Feathered Spirit has patched this exploit."
"But the message is already sent; spilled water cannot be taken back, there's no way he can take it back now." A victorious grin played at the corners of Silver Wolf's mouth, almost proclaiming "I'm truly amazing" written all over her face.
March 7th opened [Forgotten Hall].
Since she had drawn her full-souled self, passing Memory XV of [Forgotten Hall] should now be a breeze.
At that moment, she noticed an icon indicating a new message in the top-left corner of the interface.
Upon clicking it:
[To appreciate and reciprocate Trailblazers' active challenges of Forgotten Hall, Feathered Spirit introduces a new challenge event.]
The first 10 players to complete the Forgotten Hall's Chaotic Memory will receive exclusive limited-time achievements and Stellar Jade rewards.
"Exclusive achievements for the top 10?"
Silver Wolf's attention was immediately drawn to this announcement.
To her, the Stellar Jade reward held little importance!
What mattered most was obtaining those limited-time titles!
As a seasoned gaming pro, there was no way she could miss out on such an opportunity.
"Yes! I'm claiming the first place spot!"
