After the Foxian girl left, Tatsuke began inspecting his first property on the Xianzhou.
The villa came with a spacious garden, though currently, it only had a few ordinary ornamental trees.
He could tidy it up later, plant some flowers and plants, and turn it into a small garden.
The interior of the house was fully equipped, simple yet elegant.
He immediately opened the system panel.
"Activate the ability [My Territory, My Rules]."
[Confirm setting this property as a [territory]?]
As soon as Tatsuke spoke.
An invisible energy spread out from him, reaching every corner of the villa.
When he opened them again, his eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Is this the feeling of absolute control?"
He looked at a sapling nearby.
The sapling began to grow and sprout at a visible pace.
It quickly grew into a small tree, bearing fresh fruit.
The fruit fell from the branch and floated into Tatsuke's hand.
However, the surrounding vegetation noticeably withered.
After all, energy is conserved. Rapidly growing this fruit tree consumed a significant amount of the land's nutrients.
He could hire a maid to take care of the estate later.
Once the land became fertile, this cost wouldn't be necessary.
Sitting on the swing by the garden, Tatsuke opened the game developer interface.
[Popularity: 100,000+]
[Revenue: 600 million+]
[Current Remaining Points: 400 million and 50,000+]
Aside from the basic reward information, he also browsed through the game's progress.
The fastest players had already reached Belobog, and it was estimated they would complete the Belobog storyline by tomorrow.
He opened the system store.
Soon, he selected a resource.
[Star Rail Version 1.0 Additional Content: Includes playable characters Seele and Jing Yuan, Light Cones, and character PVs.]
The version of Star Rail he had obtained from the lottery was the initial version. While it was mostly the same as Version 1.0, it lacked the limited-time banners.
Now that his game had gained some popularity, it was time to implement this crucial feature.
[Purchase successful. 50 million points spent.]
[Star Rail Version 1.1 Update Content: Includes playable characters Silver Wolf, Luocha, and Yukong...]
[Price: 1.5 billion points]
"Not too much. I'll save up for a couple of days."
"Let's launch Seele and Jing Yuan's banners first."
On the largest forum of the Interastral Peace Network, Tatsuke created an account under the identity of the developer of Honkai: Star Rail.
Then, he posted his first game announcement.
[Thank you, players, for your love of Honkai: Star Rail. As a token of appreciation, I will be giving all players 1,600 Stellar Jades in-game. Additionally, the limited 5-star character [Seele]'s banner will be available...]
After posting, Tatsuke implemented the Version 1.0 additional content.
The rewards were sent out alongside the announcement.
Every online player would receive this mail.
Shortly after the announcement was posted.
It caused an uproar across the internet!
Within half a minute, hundreds of replies flooded the announcement post.
"Am I seeing this right? Is this the developer [Yu Ling]'s official account!?"
"It's verified. It can't be fake."
"Oh my god! Yu Ling, please accept my worship!"
"I've been watching Guinaifen's livestream all night. This game is insane!"
"1,600 Stellar Jades? Boss, you're too generous!"
"Fellow Trailblazers! Big things are coming! Limited 5-star characters are definitely going to be strong!"
While the netizens were focused on the game content.
Silver Wolf was more interested in the developer, Yu Ling, himself.
She immediately sent a private message to Yu Ling using one of her alternate accounts.
"Hello, Yu Ling. I'm a huge fan of Honkai: Star Rail and am very curious about the developer."
"Could you tell us where you're from?"
Silver Wolf sat there, bored.
She hardly expected the developer to reply.
In her imagination, Yu Ling was at least someone who could join the Genius Society.
People like that were usually arrogant and aloof.
Why would they reply to such a mundane comment?
Even she felt her message was a bit foolish.
However, to her surprise.
Five seconds later, Yu Ling actually replied!
"I can't really say where I'm from, but I currently live on the Xianzhou."
Yu Ling lives on the Xianzhou!
Silver Wolf felt her breathing and heartbeat quicken!
Even during the most dangerous missions, she had never felt this excited. Now, just a single reply from someone had evoked such a reaction.
Kafka was also curious and leaned over to look at the conversation between Silver Wolf and Yu Ling.
"But there are six major ships on the Xianzhou! Which one is Yu Ling on?"
Silver Wolf typed out a line to ask but suddenly deleted it all.
"No, no! That's too direct! It might annoy Yu Ling!"
"If I offend him, it's all over!"
Seeing Silver Wolf so frantic, Kafka smiled confidently.
"Silver Wolf, leave it to me."
"Fine, you're better at this than I am."
Silver Wolf gave up her seat to Kafka, then added, "Don't mess it up!"
