Little Gui's Livestream.
Like all the players in Penacony.
Little Gui was also enjoying this song!
Real-time comments were scrolling wildly!
...
"Wow, my favorite episode!"
"Yes, this is exactly what I wanted!"
"The true goddess has arrived!"
"I love this song so much."
"Positive, sunny, uplifting! It fills me with strength."
"This song and the storyline performance will be memories I cherish for a lifetime!!"
"Sunday's song is not bad."
"Pom-Pom's mouth is grinning from ear to ear on the train."
"The Astral Express, here, begins its journey!"
"I will continue to Trailblaze without hesitation!"
...
[We～rise～together～as～our～destiny unfolds]
(As destiny unfolds, let us rise together and face the challenge)
Scenes from the main storyline reappeared.
Even though she had already experienced it firsthand!
Under the editing of this song, Little Gui was once again covered in goosebumps!
As the Honkai: Star Rail logo appeared at the end, the comments were all filled with one sentence—
[May this journey lead us to the stars]
Taking a deep breath.
Guinaifen sipped some hot water.
The excitement in her heart gradually subsided.
She had a feeling!
The storyline in Penacony this time!
No matter how many times she revisited it, it would always be thrilling and exhilarating!
She immediately added this song, hoping for feathers and wings, to her [My Favorites] playlist!
And in the Air Cocoon album.
There was another song.
The song titled Sway to My Beat in Cosmos—
A song that Yu Ling also participated in creating!
Guinaifen was just about to click on the song to check its details.
Suddenly,
A notification popped up on her Jade Abacus interface!
[Yu Ling has released a new video, Robin's character PV—Sway to My Beat in Cosmos. Come and take a look~]
At the same time!
Just as Robin released her new album Air Cocoon, Yu Ling also released this video with the same title!
A coincidence?
Absolutely not a coincidence!
Guinaifen immediately clicked on the pushed video.
She already had the answer in her heart.
As expected, this video should be the MV specially produced by Yu Ling!
Seeing the video's description, it was indeed so!
[Sway to My Beat in Cosmos, can it stop one heart from breaking?]
[Had I not seen the sun, how would I know hope has feathers and wings?]
"Great, great, this directly uses the song's title as the description..."
"If that's the case, is Miss Robin also going to be added to the gacha pool!?"
...
Penacony.
A high-rise room.
Robin leaned over the balcony railing, watching as more and more people below in the square began to awaken!
Her singing echoed throughout the area.
A smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.
"Success."
"Brother, you should understand now..."
"What true happiness people yearn for really looks like..."
Robin gently exhaled.
For this incident to conclude so perfectly,
She naturally had to thank one person.
Yu Ling, the developer of Honkai: Star Rail!
Just as she was about to send him a message,
Robin saw that Yu Ling had posted a new video on his homepage.
[Robin's Character PV—Sway to My Beat in Cosmos]
Robin was stunned!
My character PV?
There is indeed a song in the new album called Sway to My Beat in Cosmos.
Yu Ling provided the lyrics and composition.
But Yu Ling never mentioned beforehand...
That he would use this song to make my character PV!
Thinking about it,
Yu Ling only contacted me as a music collaborator.
Naturally, there was no discussion about the game's content.
With this in mind,
Robin suddenly felt curious and expectant!
She clicked on the video,
To see how this PV turned out?
"Let me, the person involved, judge it~"
...
Yu Ling's message push naturally swept across the entire universe in an instant!
Countless players flocked to watch.
As the video began to play,
A light and melodious tune followed!
The spotlight and flashlights alternated continuously.
And at the center was Robin!
She wore exquisite makeup and elegant accessories.
Someone handed her a mirror, someone handed her a handkerchief.
And one hand was specially wiping the halo on her head.
Little Gui, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed!
It was Sunday's hand!
[Mend your pace, sway to the beat (Accelerate your steps and sway to this rhythm)]
[Hands up, embrace who you wanna be (Raise your hands high, embrace your ideal self)]
Unlike Hope Is the Thing With Feathers, which builds up layer by layer with a grand and majestic rhythm.
The beginning of this song seems to lean more towards a classical style.
But the content of the video is incredibly trendy!
Scenes of beautiful photo shoots, album covers, and production interfaces on computers flash by in an instant.
As two attendants pull back the curtains.
Robin, standing beneath the wall of televisions, smiles gently at the camera.
A glimmer of Starlet seems to flash in her eyes!
A breeze passes by.
Robin, with a hint of shyness, presses down her skirt that was slightly lifted by the breeze.
The scene freezes at this moment!
[Galactic Singer——Robin]
[5-star, Physical attribute, Path of Harmony]
...
"She's so beautiful!"
"The most beautiful bird in the world!"
"This is the MV Yu Ling specially made for Robin!"
"Ahhhhh the goddess of beauty has descended ahhhhh…"
"This is the renowned superstar Robin of the universe!"
"Is Robin really going to be added to the pool? I'm definitely going to pull for her!"
"Even if she just stands there and attacks me along with the monsters, I'll still pull for her!"
"Yu Ling's production skills in music are as exceptional as ever!"
"My verdict is: a match made in heaven!"
...
At this moment.
The screen suddenly turns dark.
The sound of a heartbeat echoes in the background!
Robin walks with her back to the crowd, her expression tinged with sadness.
Behind her,
people holding cameras, microphones, and recording equipment…
continue to chase after her with Mania!
"Sigh…"
In a soft sigh.
Robin closes her eyes.
The bustling city seems to transform into an abyss in an instant.
She begins to free-fall downward.
And lands in a cold, icy cage.
Like a trapped bird!
Though she yearns for the sky, she is utterly powerless to escape.
Seeing such a scene in her own PV.
Robin is slightly startled!
Indeed!
In the years since she became the Galactic Singer.
There have been those relentless reporters and paparazzi chasing after her.
Even intruding into her private life.
This has caused Robin much distress.
But it has also made her yearn for freedom even more!
And Yu Ling's PV.
With just a few short scenes, it perfectly captures the emotional journey she went through during that time.
"I really don't know how Yu Ling did it…"
It's as if he's a kindred spirit she's never met before.
Or perhaps,
Yu Ling has a special ability to probe into the hearts of everyone?
Her swirling thoughts are suddenly interrupted by a soaring melody!
The previously despairing and oppressive atmosphere is swept away!
A colorful feather descends from the sky.
[Rise～～
Up～into～my
world～]
As Robin slowly turned around, a pair of pure white wings sprouted from her back!
The invisible barrier was shattered!
The metal cage could no longer confine her!
Amidst the bustling crowd, Robin finally smiled.
And from that moment on, she became utterly free!
Chasing melodies through the streets of Penacony...
Dancing under the night sky...
Spinning and leaping on the counter of The Reverie Hotel!
...
"Damn, this shot, Yu Ling, were you a professional MV director before?"
"Oh my god, she's so beautiful!"
"Robin has broken free from her cage!"
"This song is making me cry!"
"This is what you call a cosmic-level pop star!"
"Sunday, what do you have to say about this, Brother Sunday?"
"Sunday: This is what real music is."
"When you say nothing in the world is perfect, I say: Miss Robin."
"Heavenly voice, singing freely, the lingering echoes, the eternal legacy of Robin!"
