The story returned to the perspective of the Trailblazer.
Now.
She had finally arrived at her true destination—
Paperfold University!
The campus was vibrant and dazzling.
Students bustling about with enthusiasm.
This fully confirmed the reality.
The art style gradually shifted from absurdity back to normalcy!
Students watching this scene couldn't help but exclaim.
"Woo! We've finally made it to our Paperfold University~"
"Except for some unimportant things being scaled down, it's exactly like the Chromasweven Avenue I know!"
"It's like we're really there, folks!"
"The most immersive episode yet!"
At a stall ahead.
March 7th and Dan Heng were waving at Stelle.
"—We're over here!"
After meeting up.
March 7th teased, "Why are you so late? Did you go off to Aideen Park with someone again?"
Stelle then recounted her recent experiences.
"Monkeys, ninjas... this doesn't sound like something that would happen in Penacony, more like a dream bubble," Dan Heng analyzed.
"Hmm... the monkeys you mentioned, could they be those?"
March 7th pointed behind her.
Under a huge sign.
There were two lively Slumbernana Monkeys!
March 7th, acting like an expert, began to introduce them.
"These are the most popular little creatures at Paperfold University right now, even more popular than Clockie."
"Slumbernana Monkeys love to laze around, eat bananas, and live in the moment of Slumbernana, leading a carefree life."
"No one knows where they came from, but they became an overnight sensation. Fans have even developed a Banana Language that only true monkey fans can understand, and they've created all sorts of memes and fan art!"
"The most famous is the Slumbernana Song—Banana, banana~ Banana, banana~"
As March 7th explained.
The live chat started scrolling!
...
"Wait, did this thing really get popular?"
"I only found out about Slumbernana Monkeys from the main storyline of Honkai: Star Rail."
"I took a two-day break, how did I miss this Penacony trend?"
"I disagree! Clockie is still the number one character in Penacony!"
"It's just wrong to say they're more popular than Clockie."
"Mikhail, I must reassemble the Compass Fleet."
"Clockie has fallen out of favor (sad)"
...
In the crowd.
March 7th keenly noticed the live chat!
Her expression changed slightly!
She blurted out, "Oh no, we've already been affected!"
"Players from other regions have no idea about Slumbernana Monkeys, but in our perception, they're already a big hit!"
"This means we've been infected by a Memetic Entity!"
"We're doomed!"
Hearing this, Stelle was also surprised.
After calmly thinking for a moment, she whispered, "Don't panic!"
"Slumbernana Monkeys do exist in reality, but they're not as wildly popular as we remember them being."
"I think it's because of the existence of Honkai: Star Rail that its influence has been suppressed to an extremely low level."
"Look at how the Slumbernana Monkey has taken over the entire Paperfold University within the game's storyline."
"This shows that the memetic contamination within the game is much more severe than in our reality..."
March 7th was growing more and more astonished as she listened!
She looked at Stelle with an expression of disbelief.
When did your brain become so sharp?
You actually give off a reliable vibe now!
You've really grown up!
A-Xing!
She let out a slight sigh of relief.
March 7th continued along Stelle's line of thought: "So... we can just wait and see how the storyline unfolds?"
"Whatever methods the characters in the story use to solve problems, we can just apply the corresponding methods in reality!"
"Moreover!"
"If they make any mistakes or fall into any traps in the story, we can avoid them in advance in reality!"
Stelle nodded in agreement.
"You've finally learned the correct way to use Honkai: Star Rail."
"Wow, it feels like cheating!"
March 7th had completely regained her spirits by now.
She was even a bit pleasantly surprised!
No wonder Stelle was so calm and composed earlier!
Had she already thought of this?
Oh no!
My close friend, who I've been with day and night, actually gives off a vibe of hidden depths!
Let's keep watching the story!
...
"How do you know so much?" Dan Heng asked.
"Of course, it's from the alumni group. Joining the group before school starts to get familiar with everyone is just common sense, right?"
March 7th smiled confidently.
"Being so unsociable, you might not make any friends after enrolling. Here, I'll add you both to the group!"
[Zhao Camera invites Trailblazer and Dan Heng to join the group chat.]
[Zhao Camera: Added two new bananas!]
A group of students immediately welcomed them.
Many even sent Slumbernana Monkey emojis.
[Dan Heng: Hello.]
A very standard and formal greeting, just like Dan Heng himself.
It was Stelle's turn to speak.
At this moment.
Three options appeared.
[(Send a monkey emoji)] [(Send a serious self-introduction)] [(Send a trendy self-introduction)]
"Based on my personality, I'd definitely send the trendiest self-introduction!"
Little Gui said as she selected the third option.
Immediately after.
A string of text that felt utterly abstract to her appeared in the group chat!
[Nice to meet you~:.?.o（▽）o.?.:——This is Stelle, you can also call me the Gal~axy~Bat~Hero (striking a cool pose)! I'm a cute new student, feel free to add me, and please guide me with your bananas~]
...
"?"
"What the hell?"
"What is this? Can you tell me what this is?"
"Damn! Is Honkai: Star Rail this trendy?"
"Hilarious!"
"My eyes just widened instantly!"
"I'm a social terrorist."
"Surfing master!"
"This is so embarrassing, I want to flee this galaxy overnight!"
...
On the scene.
March 7th immediately cringed!
She felt secondhand embarrassment for her good friend!
How did you manage to type that out so smoothly?
You're really good at stirring things up!
She glanced to the side.
Even Stelle herself was a bit awkward for a moment.
March 7th was scratching her head and grinning foolishly.
Fortunately, this time both of them were in disguise, so they weren't recognized.
Otherwise, their reputations would have been completely ruined.
March 7th sighed.
Just moments ago,
Stelle's image had risen slightly in her mind.
But after this scene,
it instantly plummeted back to rock bottom.
Yes, it was definitely her!
She might have a moment of sudden brilliance, but the likelihood of her suddenly becoming smart was slim!
