They Call Me Daddy (Honkai Star Rail)

Chapter 10: Pastry Heaven and Coffee Hell



“Is this... is this reasonable? MiHoYo! You deserve to die!!”

Seeing the stark difference between the test scene and reality, Kakaya howled at the sky!

If he had known about these two buffs, he wouldn't have bought the upgrade package!

At this moment, the bullet screen was full of laughter.

【Hahaha! Thanks to everyone for not revealing the second phase! I approve of your purity!】

【Kakaya: Oh no, the clown is me!】

【MiHoYo! Well done! (Thumbs up)】

【Ah! My husband has to come to the rescue! Want my husband to be heroic~】

【March 7th: ? I don’t exist?】

【No more madness!】

The audience, being fans of good entertainment, had orchestrated Kakaya’s downfall. In fact, there were initial warnings, but they were all buried by the collective effort of the crowd, even the moderators kindly banned the person who leaked spoilers as a reward.

Indeed! The moderators were also fans of entertainment!

Kakaya felt as if he had put on a clown nose, but it was too late to salvage his image! Based on his audience, he estimated that the footage of his recent downfall had already been edited!

He could already predict what the hot search on AC would be tomorrow!

Kakaya wanted to cry but had no tears.

…………….

Meanwhile, on the other side

The significant changes to the storyline of "Star Rail" had climbed to the hot search on AC, with players discussing it endlessly. Some felt that adding a character without any buildup was too abrupt.

On the other hand...

Wende was too cool, suggesting MiHoYo should increase the intensity!

The other gacha game fans, which had been brainstorming ways to slander "Star Rail," were overwhelmed by the frenzy of fans before they could fully act, creating no ripples at all!

This made them recall the advice from their predecessors: never engage in head-on battles with newly released characters. They can't compete with characters that have looks, attributes, and are given away for free!

In another live stream on AC.

The live streamer was complaining about Mi Huyou’s low draw chances and casually did a ten-pull, looking disappointed as he saw the purple light behind Pom-Pom.

“Ugh, another pity pull!”

Cotton Candy shook his head in resignation, already prepared to spend another batch of money.

As he clicked to skip, four purple lights appeared one after another. Before Cotton Candy could react, the live chat exploded with countless comments, completely filling the screen!

There were four Wendes beaming with smiles, staring at Cotton Candy.

“Ehh!”

Cotton Candy exclaimed in disbelief, hugging his head and shouting in disbelief!

【I’m amazed? I spent almost two thousand on the ordinary pool next door and only got two Wendes, and you got four right away!?】

【Guys, who understands! A Wende is harder to draw than a five-star, the rich lady next door to me spent four thousand to max out her Wende!】

【He’s a Six-star War God, as the name suggests!】

【I’d call Cotton Candy Wende’s Jinchuriki!】

【It’s four constellations already, aren’t you going to max it out?】

Cotton Candy, who had always been getting pity pulls, was overjoyed. Although it wasn’t a five-star, it was Wende! The most difficult four-star character to draw from the ordinary pool!

“Max it out! I’m going all out today! If I get it within two pulls, I’ll do ten six-four-eight pulls in the live stream!”

Cotton Candy waved his hand grandly.

The bullet screen was filled with comments praising the generosity of the “boss” and wishing for prosperity...

“Um...”

………………

Back on the Astral Express

When Stelle opened her eyes again, she looked at the familiar ceiling, confused. This was her second time losing consciousness today…

For some reason, her head ached a bit, not sure if it was due to the prolonged unconsciousness or something else. She still felt a bit groggy.

“You’re awake. Do you want some water?”

Wende, who had been waiting nearby, immediately approached with concern when he noticed Stelle waking up.

“Mr. Yang, could you be gentler? Hitting someone on the head could cause a serious injury!”

Seeing Stelle rubbing her forehead, Wende secretly complained.

“Hmm, thank you!”

Not knowing Wende’s internal complaints, Stelle felt her ears burning from the concern shown by Wende. Her ears were slightly red, but her gray hair covered them.

“Here.”

Wende opened the bottle cap and handed it over.

Watching Stelle sip the water, Wende sighed.

It must be said, every protagonist of MiHoYo seems cursed to faint frequently, constantly collapsing for various reasons. The one before him was an ongoing battle.

“Do you feel any discomfort anywhere else?”

After setting the empty cup aside, Wende, following his role as a doctor, asked Stelle, who was looking much better.

“Um... My head feels a bit swollen... but suddenly it doesn’t feel so swollen!”

Stelle indeed felt a bit of swelling in her head, but seeing three lightning needles form in Wender’s hand made her panic. At that moment, she suddenly felt her head pain go away! She quickly waved at Wende and said loudly.

“Really? You shouldn’t hide your symptoms.”

Wende raised an eyebrow, looking skeptically at the clearly panicked Stelle, dispersing the lightning needles into arcs, and said seriously to Stelle.

“Really! I’m fine! Look!”

Seeing Wende’s doubtful purple eyes, Stelle quickly stood up and swaggered in front of him, looking energetic and not like someone who had just been hit by a light cannon and a blunt force to the head.

“Ah, it seems you’re indeed fine.”

Seeing Stelle walking briskly and even wanting to show off some moves, Wende again marveled at her robust physique.

“Himeko and that Herta lady are downstairs. They asked me to let you know to see them when you wake up.”

“Okay, I’ll go now.”

Stelle nodded and went downstairs under Wende’s watch.

The following time was a rare rest period!

Wende had been at the space station for almost a whole day and still hadn’t fully explored the station!

March 7th and Dan Heng went to help the security team clear the remaining virtual soldiers in the space station. The injured in the space station no longer needed Wende’s attention. Stelle was likely going to be taken by Herta for testing the simulated universe, while the space station’s executives were under Asta’s lead for repairs.

And he, Wende, seemed to have become the most idle person in the space station!

As for taking on commission tasks... what a joke, wasn’t that competing with Stelle for a job!?

Thinking about how Stelle might try to bite him, seeking revenge for the stellaron... it didn’t seem impossible?

After all, Stelle wasn’t yet "polluted" by the trash can mentality, still with gray hair and golden eyes, and a cool, elegant voice!

Thinking of this, Wende couldn’t help but sigh. Beneath such a perfect exterior was such a chaotic soul!

“Ding Dong~”

While Wende was reflecting, his phone suddenly rang.

【Supply List.jpg】

【This is Pom-Pom’s supply list. March Seven and Dan Heng are clearing virtual soldiers and have no time, so I need to trouble you!】

【Pom-Pom Heart.jpg】”

Well, speak of the devil..

Wende shrugged, then opened the map on his phone and started navigating around the space station.

.………….

A few days later, everyone gathered on the train, and the train was finally about to leave the space station, embarking on a new journey.

And Stelle, as expected, joined the express crew.

Now Stelle was more certain that her decision was correct. Inside the Star Rail train car, she enjoyed the beautiful scenery outside the window while tasting the snacks personally made by Wende. Wasn’t this much better than staying at the space station working for Herta!?

“Wow! This is amazing! Wende, you’re awesome!”

March 7th devoured the "pastry boat" made by Wende and praised him endlessly.

“March, swallow first before talking, or you might choke.”

On the other side of the sofa, Dan Heng, holding a plate of fried rice, looked at March 7th’s exaggerated reaction with a face full of black lines.

“Hmm, Dan Heng is right. March, would you like a cup of coffee to help you?”

Himeko elegantly crossed her legs, smiling at March 7th.

“Hmm!! Cough!”

March 7th, who was initially enjoying her food, choked on her food when she heard Himeko mention coffee.

“Ouch!”

“March! Quick, have a cup of coffee to help!”

Seeing March 7th choke, Himeko quickly brought her coffee to March’s lips.

March 7th stared blankly. At that moment, she wondered if choking to death would be more dignified?

Glug, glug, glug, sip!

After being force-fed a cup of coffee, March lay peacefully on the sofa with a look of being completely overwhelmed.

“........"

"........."

"???"

“Um? Is March okay?”

Seeing March 7th lying calmly as if she was about to ascend, Stelle’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

“Hmm...”

Dan Heng pondered for a moment, then asked Pom-Pom for a cup of tea.

Seeing this, Welt also hurriedly took a drink and placed it aside. Looking at March 7th’s increasingly distorted face, he shook his head helplessly and took a bite of Wende’s fried rice.

“!! This is!”

Feeling the familiar taste in his mouth, this sensation!

Welt looked at the fried rice in his hand with a complex expression. This is the taste of home!

“So, what happened?”

Seeing the silent train crew, Wende, who had just come out of the kitchen, looked bewildered.

“Um... March 7th seemed to have choked, so I gave her coffee to help her...”

Himeko smiled awkwardly.
