Guinaifen was momentarily stunned by the scene unfolding before her.
She had become too immersed earlier, almost forgetting she was watching a game.
Despite being turn-based, she still found it quite engaging. The rich visuals captivated her, making her eager to try it out.
"Um, could I borrow your phone to play for a bit?"
"Of course." Lin Yu had been waiting for this response.
Guinaifen set aside her streaming phone, adjusting its angle to capture the game screen perfectly. She then explained to her viewers, "Don't be too disappointed, everyone. Although it's a turn-based game, considering the detailed graphics, it holds up remarkably well compared to games from previous generations.
"Let's play a little more before passing judgment."
"Little Gui Zi is right! Supporting Little Gui Zi!"
"Heh, no offense, but turn-based games are honestly boring. However, Kafka's figure does look quite nice."
"The commenter above you actually daring to lust after Kafka? Don't you know she's one of the most dangerous individuals in the Galaxy?"
"Beware, she might trace your IP and gouge out your eyes (chilling)"
"I'm only referring to the game character, not implying anything about the real-life Kafka..."
Meanwhile, Guinaifen followed the game's prompt and controlled Kafka to perform a Basic Attack.
With a swift and precise swing of her blade...
In the second round, it was time for Skills.
Her stance shifted from holding the sword on her left side to positioning it horizontally before her.
"Let's take them both out."
This time, she executed a more intense three-part combo, with the final strike causing damage akin to a spiderweb bursting open.
With a crisp cracking sound, the lightning attribute weakness on the monster's head was broken.
Both creatures collapsed instantly.
"Huh? That's it already?" Guinaifen couldn't help but grumble, "I didn't even get enough combat action."
"This is Stellaron Hunter: Kafka!"
"Controlling such a character firsthand feels truly unique, folks!"
"I thought it would be more like taking turns, you hit me, then I hit you, but it seems much faster-paced than that."
"The movements were quite flashy too."
"Hey streamer, go fight another monster and show us!"
"Yeah, I couldn't even get a clear look just now."
Responding to her viewers' requests, Guinaifen maneuvered Kafka further into the space station's interior, seeking out monsters for combat.
The dialogue between Kafka and her companion echoed in the background.
"When did the Antimatter Legion become so weak?" Kafka lamented.
"This is the maximum force I could lure here. You wouldn't want the main legion to focus on this place, would you?"
"With opponents like these, they won't stand a chance against the Astral Express crew."
"Don't worry, even a Doomsday Beast has arrived."
As Guinaifen read through their conversation, she displayed a sudden realization.
She explained to her live stream audience, "It turns out the Stellaron Hunters aren't here to assist us."
"In fact, they're the ones who drew the Antimatter Legion!"
"They intend to exploit the chaos at the space station to carry out their plan!"
"True to form, the Stellaron Hunters are indeed crafty—such terrifying tactics!"
In the live stream chat, half of the players were more interested in the game's storyline than its gameplay mechanics. Guinaifen's insights ignited their curiosity for discussion.
"Could this game actually be from the perspective of the Stellaron Hunters?"
"It seems like they started with a massive twist right off the bat, but we'll have to see if they can tie it all together later."
"I can only say that the game developers are incredibly bold, not fearing repercussions from their company or attracting attention from the Stellaron Hunters themselves."
As they traversed the spacious corridor, portraits of famous individuals lined both sides—real-life renowned figures.
This further ignited excitement among the live stream viewers.
Could this game truly be set within reality itself?
Soon, they crossed the long hallway and entered the interior of the space station.
Attack the Voidrangers!
The second battle commenced!
"Remember the sensation of your breath."
This time, there were five enemies.
After Kafka initiated her attack as before, it was the opponents' turn to move.
The Voidrangers' dual-blade strikes looked incredibly painful.
the icon beside Kafka's portrait in the lower left corner lit up.
[Energy fully charged. Activate Ultimate skill immediately]
Guinaifen promptly followed the instruction.
In an instant, Kafka's illustrated character transformed before their eyes. Her stance shifted from wielding a knife to holding dual submachine guns.
"All good times must come to an end~"
Dark purple energy intertwined around her, readying for action.
The attack button on the right indicated this Ultimate was a group assault.
Licking her lips, Guinaifen swiftly tapped it!
"It's time to say goodbye."
What unfolded next left everyone watching utterly astonished!
Kafka, armed with two submachine guns, seemed to dance amidst the swarm of monsters.
Spinning, leaping, eyes closed—
Surrounded by the glow of gunfire, silver streaks, and flying bullets...
It created a breathtaking spectacle.
After the barrage ceased, the camera focused on a close-up of Kafka. She made an explosion gesture with her hands and softly uttered:
The surrounding monsters were decimated, causing even the screen to tremble.
When it all ended, every single monster had been annihilated without exception!
Silence—absolute silence!
Even the live stream chat fell silent for several seconds.
