[Streamer, streamer, can you reveal any information about Lumina? Like what kind of skills she'll have, or when she'll be released?]
After entering the game, Lumina skipped all side activities and immediately started progressing through the main story.
Having already experienced the plot once, she found replaying it somewhat dull.
She had hoped to find some amusement in the comments, but discovered that she seemed to have become the joke.
So, when she spotted a rare normal comment, Lumina's eyes lit up instantly.
Still, she replied with a formulaic answer: "I have absolutely no idea what Lumina's skill archetype is."
"But I do have a guess about her release time."
"She'll probably be added around Version 2.0. You can look forward to it~"
Lumina revealed very little, giving her viewers just a small sliver of anticipation.
[I don't care when Lumina is released. I only care if she can beat Luocha! (Trying not to laugh)]
[I can't even imagine what a miserable life someone without Luocha would lead. (Laughing)]
[You're right, but that's just Luocha. Barrier Healer, Combat Skill Healer, Off-Field Healer—a comprehensive and invincible healer who combines dispelling, cleansing, and energy generation. (Suppressing laughter)]
[This might offend Luocha simps, but as a Lumina simp, I have to say: miHoYo! Copy Luocha's skills, buff them a bit, and give them to Lumina!]
[Hey! I have a great idea! Let's combine Blade and Luocha! Tanky, high DPS, attacks enemies while healing the entire team—tanky with DPS and heals! (Laughing)]
Ugh... I don't think there's any need to start whining about how weak Lumina is already, Lumina thought, a bit speechless as she read the comments.
I haven't even been released yet! There hasn't even been a single skill reveal! And you're already crying about how weak I am?
Isn't it a bit early to be complaining?
Lumina considered whether she should "accidentally" leak a little about her character's gameplay intensity...
Otherwise, if they kept speculating like this, she'd be branded as the "Cosmic Weakling" before she even debuted...
"As a character slated to debut around Version 2.0, Lumina's strength simply cannot be lower than Luocha's. You can rest assured."
After a moment's thought, Lumina refrained from explicitly stating her power level, opting instead for a subtle hint.
[True, but look at Welt and Jing Yuan—they launched in Version 1.0 and remain T0-tier even now (laugh-crying). Given Luocha's versatility, I bet we could play him until the game shuts down!]
[I can't even imagine how strong Lumina must be to surpass Luocha!]
[You're right, but that's just Luocha—the ultimate all-rounder. Barrier Healer, Combat Skill Healer, Off-Field Healer—he's a one-stop shop for dispelling, purification, and generating skill points, making him an invincible support unit. (struggling to suppress laughter)]
[I'm not even a Luocha simp, but I have to admit, his strength is supremely satisfying. I have no idea how to counter him!]
Reading these comments, Lumina shook her head and decided not to elaborate further.
If she's not as strong as Luocha, so be it. But you all worship him as unbeatable, someone you can play until the game's servers shut down. Well, in Version 2.0, a 13-year-old 4-star "little boy" almost defeated him.
"Alright, alright, let's drop this topic. It's all just speculation for now anyway. No official skill reveals yet—what if Lumina turns out to be a 'Pro Max' version of Luocha and Bailu combined?"
"Until the skill reveals drop, let's not jump to conclusions. Getting your face slapped later would be embarrassing, right~?"
[Why does this streamer sound like she knows something?]
[Duh, it's Lumina's voice actress! I refuse to believe she doesn't know anything about the character. (Laughing emoji)]
[Confirmed! Voice actress endorsement! Luocha doesn't hold a candle to Lumina. Lumina's Gameplay Intensity is a complete wipeout against Luocha! (Facepalm emoji, laughing)]
"I'm just a humble 'voice actress'," Lumina continued to play dumb, glancing at the comments. "How could I possibly know about Lumina's Gameplay Intensity...?"
As a normal voice actress, she would indeed have absolutely no connection to the game development team responsible for character skills. It would be perfectly reasonable for her to be unaware.
But as Lumina, the character Lumina, how could she not know her own Gameplay Intensity?
Even if she revealed it now, it wouldn't matter. After all, she's the one who ultimately decides her own skill strengths.
But Lumina wouldn't say a word. She wanted to watch these players, who were currently tearing her down, completely lose it when their gacha pulls inevitably failed to give them what they wanted o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ
Every player who called Lumina a "cosmic weakling" had their names etched into her memory.
When her banner finally arrived, those names Lumina had marked would all be guaranteed to get 160...
Oh, and the Light Cone pool too? 140 pulls for you! (smiles)
Lumina chuckled inwardly. Payback may be delayed, but it's coming!
Just you wait. When you're begging for the featured characters, I'll make sure you get nothing but the standard banner ones!
["Brothers, Luocha is invincible! I can't imagine how miserable life must be for those who didn't pull him."]
["Lumina, oh Lumina! I don't need you to be as strong as Luocha, just stable and reliable! My Moon~"]
["I don't care about Lumina's strength! I'm using my community college fund to pull for her like there's no tomorrow!"]
["Hmm... something feels off, yet also strangely right..."]
["Is this the magic of words?"]
"Blacklist, blacklist..."
Lumina furiously scribbled name after name into her mental blacklist.
Meanwhile, the individuals whose names were being furiously scribbled down continued to boast and brag in the live stream, completely oblivious to the gravity of their situation.
They remained utterly unaware of the tragic fate that awaited them in the future...
