******

In the ga, the scene was both awkward and eerie.

Aventurine, Acheron, and Stelle—all three of them were in the sa room.

Stelle looked utterly confused.

Acheron's expression was cold.

And Aventurine was eyeing Acheron warily.

At that mont, Only Silence Remains!

Aventurine, who had just displayed his skills and presence in the ga, now seed like he'd been caught red-handed.

After a long pause, he finally spoke. "Your room?"

Acheron didn't answer.

Another mont of silence followed.

Aventurine looked at Stelle with a aningful gaze.

"Impressive, my friend. You've only been in Penacony for a short while, yet you've already learned how to recruit people into your team."

"Don't misunderstand. I just wanted to remind you—this place is a mixed bag, and there are plenty of ill-intentioned individuals around. Rember to stay vigilant, like… rember to close the door."

"Well, I'll take my leave now, miss! I hope you all have a pleasant ti."

With that.

The scene shifted.

Aventurine vanished instantly.

He slipped away quickly.

...

"Did Aventurine read the script in advance and know that Acheron is a tough one?"

"So whose room is this anyway?"

"If I hadn't watched Rondo Across Countless Kalpas beforehand, I might still think Acheron is just a normal tourist."

"At this mont, Black Swan is trembling in fear."

"Aventurine probably saw Duke Inferno and Black Swan's strength assessnt of Acheron and decided to make a quick escape…"

...

In front of the live stream screen.

Aventurine29 himself let out a slight sigh of relief.

Feeling fortunate for his in-ga self.

That mont just now… could be considered a small highlight.

As expected of himself.

Right after arriving in Penacony, he managed to find the most crucial character—the Trailblazer.

Seeing Topaz lost in thought.

Aventurine couldn't help but boast, "What do you think? My judgnt is as sharp as ever, isn't it?"

"Just after arriving in Penacony, while others didn't pay much attention."

"I specifically sought out the Trailblazer from the Astral Express and proposed a collaboration."

Topaz glanced at Aventurine.

And said, "That move seems to have been played quite well."

"But the Trailblazer hasn't agreed to your collaboration yet."

Aventurine shrugged it off. "As you said, it's just one move."

"Put yourself in my shoes."

"I'm sure in the later parts of the story."

"[I]… will definitely use so necessary ans to make her unable to refuse this collaboration."

Aventurine was full of confidence.

At that mont.

In the ga.

The scene shifted again.

A black screen appeared with a line of text.

[anwhile, on the other side…]

This signaled a switch to another perspective.

At tis like this.

It often ant that the other side was about to make a big move.

Aventurine and Topaz imdiately stopped talking.

They both sat up straight.

And began to watch intently!

However, what they didn't expect was.

The perspective that jumped to.

Was actually Aventurine's own room!

Closing the door.

Aventurine walked further into the room.

"What's wrong, Ratio? Don't look so gloomy… Hey, I just noticed, where's that handso plaster head of yours?"

The man standing by the dream pool was none other than [Dr. Ratio] Ratio.

The collaboration with Ratio had already been confird before they even arrived in Penacony.

So Aventurine wasn't surprised by this.

The ga Honkai: Star Rail continues to maintain its characteristic of foreshadowing the future.

Ratio coldly replied, "You're late, exactly 4 minutes and 16 seconds. You better have used that ti to unravel the mystery of Akivili's fall—if not, I'd advise you not to ss with the Naless."

"ss with them? Even you think that? Does no one believe I genuinely just want to be friends with them?"

"Chatty people don't make friends. A little fact: the Adini peacock is one of the most unpleasant-sounding birds in the universe, and your outfit makes you look like a flamboyant peacock…"

At this point.

Ratio's gaze slightly lifted. "It seems this peacock has been plucked clean—did the family confiscate your luggage?"

Aventurine showed a helpless expression.

"Yeah, the guy in the gray suit took everything, all the gifts, and the box containing the Cornerstone… Huh? Where are you going?"

"Back to report to the company that an idiot has ruined everything."

"Just a few stones, why so pessimistic? What does it matter if they're gone?"

"Without that Aventurine stone, you're just a Ziganian slave sentenced to death by the company—or is that product code on your neck also a gift from the Amber King?"

"Oh, nice one, very humorous! It seems our learned friend here has done his howork."

"It's my job. Otherwise, how would a gambler reclaim the Penacony border prison for the company?"

"Relax, Professor, I've got plenty of ways. The family is afraid the company will stir up trouble, hence the constant confrontations… Who knows, maybe Penacony has been a Harmony conspiracy all along."

Seeing this dialogue.

Aventurine's gaze slightly darkened.

In the story.

Every ti a part involving his "sches" appeared, it made him tense up.

Afraid that Yu Ling might expose him prematurely!

Yet, his in-ga self continued to speak confidently—

"To , that invitation letter is just a self-directed facade. Perhaps they're planning sothing outrageous at the Charmony Festival…"

"Or maybe the inviter is soone else, but they're allowing it, planning to turn the tables and set up sothing bigger. It doesn't matter—whether it's the family or the Watchmaker's legacy, as long as I can use it."

Ratio: "Get to the point. What's the plan?"

Aventurine's hand clenched slightly.

He sighed inwardly.

Ratio, oh Ratio!

Please don't press further now.

If you keep asking, the whole plan will be exposed!

Fortunately.

The in-ga Aventurine didn't disappoint him.

With a slight smile, he said, "No need to explain everything now—it's not ti to reveal our hand."

Ratio snorted coldly. "Damn gambler, trust is the foundation of cooperation—is that not part of Ziganian preschool education?"

Aventurine imdiately gave his in-ga self a big thumbs up!

That's !

So tight-lipped.

Not even giving Ratio any face.

This way.

The plan remains unexposed.

Even if Sunday were to see this scene.

He wouldn't be able to guess what my real "sche" is!

Aventurine picked up the champagne on the table.

For him.

This part of the story was quite a rollercoaster.

But in the end, it turned out well.

anwhile, Topaz suddenly spoke up, "Are we popping the champagne already at halfti?"

"Don't forget, this is a live broadcast across the universe."

"With this plotline, your background is almost completely exposed by these netizens."

Aventurine opened the live stream's comnt section.

Instantly, a look of astonishnt appeared on his face.

Clearly.

He hadn't anticipated.

The professional skills of this generation of netizens were so formidable!

In just a few minutes of the plot.

Many players.

One after another.

Had pieced together and exposed his life story!

Even details about the [Cornerstone] had been ticulously described!

...

"Huh? What does Dr. Ratio an by that? How did Aventurine from the Strategic Investnt Departnt beco a slave? And sentenced to death?"

"Aventurine started from scratch."

"Before, he was just an ordinary person from so unknown place."

"Wrong, not an unknown place, it's Ziganonia-IV."

"Still haven't heard of it."

"It seems everyone isn't very familiar with Director Aventurine, let explain."

"When Aventurine was on the planet Ziganonia, he was a slave, and the mark on his neck was the product code symbolizing his slave status."

"Later, when the company arrived on Ziganonia, Aventurine caught the attention of Lady Jade, which allowed him to beco an employee of the Interastral Peace Corporation."

"Wow! So inspiring?"

"Aventurine actually has such an unknown past?"

"Then what's the deal with the Cornerstone that Dr. Ratio ntioned?"

"Each of the Ten Stonehearts from the Strategic Investnt Departnt has a Cornerstone that seals a part of the Emanator's power of Preservation."

"So, before checking in, Aventurine's Cornerstone was confiscated by Sunday?"

"That's right."

"So now, Aventurine is just an ordinary person who's good at showing off."

"Wrong, he still has his money power."

"With that said, I instantly understand the current situation."

"My boy Aventurine just arrived at Penacony and had all his equipnt confiscated by the family?"

"No wonder he's so eager to find a partner!"

"Seems steady as an old dog, but actually panicking inside."

"From Aventurine's perspective, this mission is a completely impossible start."

"I can't think of any way he can turn this around!?"
