Chapter 51 - 48 - Shocks the Foreign Internet

Real World An ACFun "Fan Subber" was in the process of uploading the "cooked meat" he had prepared over the past few days from the foreign internet. This batch of subbed content mostly consisted of clips from veteran foreign miHoYo players playing Star Rail. After all, with a simultaneous global launch, Star Rail had always maintained a considerable influence abroad. The videos from a foreign streamer known as "The Exaggeration Queen" had always been a hot topic among domestic netizens, not just because of her outstanding entertainment value, but because she seemed to have that certain "something." Before Star Rail even launched, she was already a loyal fan of miHoYo's "third sister" and "fourth sister," earning countless fans on ACFun with her self-proclaimed talent for "vocal genius." "Alright, fans! The long-awaited Honkai: Star Rail is finally out! Honestly, I never participated in the closed beta, nor did I look up any of its beta content, because the shadow its older sister cast on me was just too deep." "But this also guarantees that we will be fully immersed in the game's story, right!" After putting on a thick layer of emotional armor, The Exaggeration Queen officially began her Star Rail journey. [Gotta say, I'm really looking forward to the moment she sees Wende at the beginning.] [Mhm... I'm getting horny!] [Huh? You can do it without even seeing the real thing!??] [You underestimate the imagination of a Wende simp. The moment they see the two words 'Wende,' they drown in his broad, welcoming arms~ Ah~ so warm~] [Got it, thanks, the child is now thoroughly terrified!] [So this is a Wende simp! Truly... fantastic! March, step on me! Ahhh~~] [Crap! Us protagonist simps can't show weakness! Rules are made to be broken! Hmph! Mmm! Mmm! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!] [Were you just railed by the Trailblazer's baseball bat? That was so foul!] [Trailblazer: Crap, I can't use my weapon anymore!] "Oh... is this Kafka? She's so elegant..." The Exaggeration Queen listened, mesmerized, to Kafka's ethereal violin, watching her elegant figure wreak havoc. "Hey, this Silver Wolf? That's Bronya!" When she saw Silver Wolf's sci-fi, electronic-style entrance, The Exaggeration Queen cried out in alarm. After all, the trauma miHoYo's third sister had given her was just too great. Her Honkai PTSD was, for the time being, incurable. As the story progressed, The Exaggeration Queen reached the character selection screen. "I'm going to choose Stelle. Although Caelus also gives me a good feeling, he feels a little too much like 'Kevin.' So, my apologies to all the Caelus fans out there." [Caelus: This is... the Inscription of Salvation!] [Stelle: Fate... reveals itself once more!] [Stop it! I said stop it!] [You know what I'm about to say. Ishida Akira face.jpg] [The Exaggeration Queen is a severe case of Honkai PTSD. How pitiful!] [That's not what you said when you were simping for her before!] [Hehehe, so delicious!] After a lengthy explanation, The Exaggeration Queen chose Stelle and gave her the name she always used. [Here it comes! It's coming!] [Hurry, hurry!] [Dad! My dad!] [What are you saying! That's Mama!] [No male mommies!] [We want male mommies!!] [Ahhh~~ Ahh!! Why are your esteemed father's pectoral muscles... so exaggerated?!] [To nurture me, of course!] [Okay, okay, whoever has the milk is the mother, is that it!] [Rub-rub! Let me rub-rub! Just one little rub!] [Crawl away! Get lost, you gays! Wende! Hehe~] [Everyone, show-show wei! It's about to happen!] The Exaggeration Queen's Stelle slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a handsome face, and that magnificent symbol of strength. "HOLY CRAAP♂!!!! WHAAT THE! F♂!!!" The Exaggeration Queen's eyeballs were practically nailed to Wende's body, looking like they were about to pop out of their sockets! "This man! THIS MAN! OHHHH~~ CRAP!!" The Exaggeration Queen clutched her head in disbelief and leaned back, her expression living up to her title, "Exaggerated"! [If someone asks me, I will sing~] [Are you really singing 'Exaggerated' right now?] [Yes! Yes! That's the look! That's the expression!] [Tremble before the magnificent pectoral muscles of my father, Wende!!] [Praise be!] "Oh my god!! This man, he just hits all the right spots!" The Exaggeration Queen exclaimed, her face beet red with excitement. "OH! CRAP!" Forgive the fact that the other side of the ocean lacks a rich literature of unhinged rants, and forgive The Exaggeration Queen's limited vocabulary of shock. In this moment, the world was given a little taste of the Wende shock! In just four days since its release, Star Rail had exploded in popularity overseas, its fame rivaling that of miHoYo's fourth sister, and even showing signs of surpassing it! And as Star Rail blew up, Wende's image became known throughout the foreign internet. The number one trending tag on Twitter was for Star Rail, the second was for Wende, and the third was for March 7th. At this moment, it was as if darkness had descended upon the world as it fell into a passionate frenzy. In the private messages of a famous artist on a certain website. From an unknown user: [Hello, madam artist. I am a loyal fan of yours. Your skill and art style make my heart pound! For that reason, I would like to pay you to draw a piece of fan art for a character from Honkai: Star Rail, Wende. Below are some indescribable requests. I hope you can fulfill this humble wish of mine. I will leave you a satisfactory reward.] This artist's private messages received thousands of similar requests in a single day. Wende's popularity on a certain unknown website was also faintly beginning to surpass that of the number one character, "Pom-Pom." It was a fierce internal war within the Express crew (mistake). "Achoo!" Walking through the maze-like Echo of War corridor outside the Restricted Zone, Wende suddenly sneezed for no reason. "What's wrong? Are you too cold?" Stelle asked with concern. "No... I just suddenly feel a bit strange." Wende unconsciously rubbed his arms. He felt as if many people were spying on him, and there was a strange chill on his chest. [Ahhh! My husband sneezed! Sneeze in my mouth!] [Wende must be so cold in this icy world. Quick, wear me like a coat! I'll warm you up (drooling emoji)] [Ding, Player Favorability +2500. Progress to unlock 5-star rank: 7510/10000.] Wende listened to the system notification, which had been silent for a long time, with a look of confusion. What did he do? How did he get these points? Did the players in the real world take the wrong medicine? "Slap..." "Hiss..." Stelle yelped in pain and quickly retracted her small hand. "......" "Err......" "Um, if I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me...?" Stelle looked awkwardly at Wende's blackened face. She didn't know why... she had just suddenly lost control of her hand...
