Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Genshin Impact! Launch!

He believed Silver Wolf would take good care of herself.

So, after dumping all the trouble on Silver Wolf, what he needed to consider was having fun on the planet Logos.

As a planet centered around game development, everything on this planet was filled with game elements.

Of course, Bai Luan couldn't possibly explore the entire planet in just a few days.

He decided to limit his activities to this city.

Although he trusted Silver Wolf's professionalism, the probability of an unexpected situation was not zero.

Him staying in this city served as a form of assurance.

Moreover, since they could host such a grand awards ceremony, attracting even Silver Wolf, and had the confidence to invite his game account to participate, it must have something special.

The transportation on this planet was very interesting, consisting of various teleportation points with different game styles.

Some teleportation points were surrounded by magical runes, with an ethereal blue light flowing between the inscriptions.

Others were rainbow rings made of precise machinery, with the sound of gears meshing like some futuristic symphony.

Although they used the same principle, they put a lot of effort into their presentation, which directly immersed enthusiasts who loved the game.

Bai Luan looked at one of the teleportation points; it was designed to look like a cave, and the surrounding area had been specifically modified to match it.

The cave entrance emitted a soft white light, as if leading to some forgotten fantasy world.

When Bai Luan saw this teleportation point, his mind automatically captioned the scene:

"Press any key to start the game."

He chuckled and shook his head, stepping into the light curtain.

Instantly, his vision was swallowed by pure milky white, and then, two familiar characters, impossibly familiar, appeared before his eyes—

"Genshin Impact"

Even more incredible, the highly recognizable "Startup Tune" played synchronously in his ears.

Yes, this was, of course, the System's doing.

The System's sudden meme reference made Bai Luan break character, finding it somewhat hard to hold back his laughter.

He laughed and muttered:

"You've really gone off-topic, haven't you?"

『You must be wary of anything that glows white, because I will, anytime, anywhere...』

『Genshin Impact! Launching!』

"I think you're completely on vacation."

Bai Luan was helpless.

『Hahaha... Quite the opposite, I just have more classes』

The System's cheerful tone was accompanied by a desperate statement.

Such despairing words.

No wonder its mental state had become 'beautiful'.

He pitied it for a second.

When the white light faded, he was already standing in the city square where the awards ceremony was held.

Unlike ordinary developed cities, this place was filled with game elements.

Holographic projections of heroes battled between buildings, game posters covered entire glass curtain walls, and game dialogues from unknown sources intertwined and collided in the air.

Medieval castles stood alongside cyberpunk skyscrapers, Cthulhu-style tentacle decorations hung from the roofs of anime cafes, and post-apocalyptic armored vehicles were parked beside streets where cherry blossoms danced—as if countless game worlds had experienced a dimensional overlap accident here.

Bai Luan stood in the center of the square, looking around, a smile unconsciously curving his lips.

Every corner of this city told stories from different worlds.

"Yes, this is exactly what I wanted to see!"

Everywhere were shops decorated in game styles, from magical medieval to future technology, from Cthulhu horror to cute anime, from post-apocalyptic wasteland to idyllic pastoral... games from across the universe had opened branches here.

After walking out of the teleportation point, Bai Luan also received a wristband.

This wristband was specially prepared for tourists visiting Logos, serving as a personal guide.

After putting it on, if he encountered a character or scene on the road that he found interesting but didn't know which game it was from, he could directly ask the wristband.

The wristband would automatically scan the object of his inquiry, search its database, and then project the query results directly onto his retina.

In addition to using it to fill in his unknown knowledge, it contained a map of the entire city; if there was somewhere he wanted to go, it would automatically generate and plan his route.

It could be said to be extremely useful, and most importantly, these wristbands were given away for free.

They could be taken off the planet as souvenirs, but upon leaving, if one still wanted it to function as it did on Logos, an offline data pack would need to be downloaded.

This offline data pack was not free, and besides the offline data pack, there was a whole host of service packs.

Indeed, the free things are always the most expensive, but who could refuse a super practical game wristband?

With it, even a novice who had never played a game could pretend to be a veteran gamer.

It also made it very convenient to directly dive into things he was interested in, without having to painstakingly search for resources himself.

It was even better when checking game background settings.

It was truly excellent value for money.

On the side of the wristband, a small line of text was engraved:

"The sole and ultimate purpose of games is to bring joy. They are never high or low, noble or humble; if they can bring happiness, they possess full value."

The signature was a name: Hyperion.

He seemed to be the founder of this planet.

To be able to build Logos, a utopia comparable to the gaming world, he must be a truly remarkable individual.

If only he could have a chance to meet him.

Bai Luan was not in a hurry to use the game wristband; instead, he decided to just wander around first.

The best plan for relaxation was no plan at all.

Since all the hard work was left for Silver Wolf, Bai Luan had plenty of time to explore.

After some time browsing, Bai Luan noticed an interesting phenomenon.

Although the Honkai: Star Rail universe's tech tree had long been flourishing, with an omnipresent intergalactic network spanning the cosmos.

However, in many shops, the "primitive" operating methods of keyboards and mouse still thrived.

Aside from nostalgia, their main audience mostly came from planets with less developed technology—some even quite similar to the Earth in Bai Luan's memory.

Upon closer thought, this was quite reasonable.

The universe held infinite possibilities; just as there were civilizations with super high technology, there were naturally worlds still in their infancy.

Even with entities like "The Company" dedicated to introducing advanced technology to low-tech planets, their services were by no means free.

There were always regions or civilizations that temporarily couldn't afford the high price, still using their familiar "backward" methods.

And this immensely vast universe brought with it a nearly infinitely wide market.

This market displayed astonishing tolerance—regardless of style or technological level, as long as a game's quality was solid, it would always find an appreciative audience.

No wonder a planet like Logos could exist.

If there weren't all sorts of game players from various planets, with different levels of technological development, acting as the soil to nurture the growth of games of all styles, perhaps this planet wouldn't exist either.

The vast universe brought infinite possibilities and fostered an incredibly inclusive market.

Any style of game could find kindred spirits here, just as there would always be like-minded individuals resonating with one another in the sea of stars.

It was this diverse soil that gave birth to a magnificent miracle like Logos—a never-ending carnival woven together by players and developers.
