Starry Sky Railway: I develop mobile games in Xianzhou

Chapter 5: The Developer Has Guts! Kafka’s Ultimate Move

Seeing the scene before her, Guinaifen was momentarily stunned.

The immersion had been so deep that she had almost forgotten this was just a game.

Even though it was turn-based, she still found it exciting.

The level of detail in the visuals piqued her curiosity.

“Uh… can I play for a bit?”

“Of course.”

Lin Yu had been waiting for this moment.

Guinaifen set aside her livestream phone, fixed the angle, and focused the camera on the game screen.

Then, she turned to the livestream audience:

“Don’t be too disappointed, guys. Sure, it’s a turn-based game, but look at the graphics! Compared to past generations of games, this is actually really well-made.”

“Let’s play a bit more before we judge it.”

Livestream Chat Reactions

“Xiao Gui is right! I support her!”

“Honestly, turn-based games are kinda boring, but Kafka’s figure is something else.”

“How dare you lust after Kafka? Do you not know she’s one of the most dangerous figures in the galaxy?”

“Better watch out—she might crawl through the network cables and gouge your eyes out! (Just kidding… or am I?)”

“I was only talking about the in-game character! I would never say that about the real Kafka…”

Guinaifen’s First Combat Test

Following the in-game prompts, Guinaifen controlled Kafka, making her execute a basic attack.

A swift and clean sword strike.

On the second turn, she unlocked her skill move.

Kafka’s stance shifted—her sword now held horizontally in front of her.

“Might as well finish them all off.”

A fierce three-strike combo, with the final hit triggering a spiderweb-like energy burst.

Crack!

The enemy’s Lightning weakness shattered with a crisp shattering sound.

Two monsters collapsed on the spot.

[Battle Ended]

“Huh? That’s it?”

Guinaifen pouted in disappointment.

“I didn’t even get to enjoy the fight.”

“I mean… this is Kafka, the Stellaron Hunter!”

“Controlling a character like this feels incredible, family!”

“I thought it was just gonna be a ‘you hit me, I hit you’ kinda game, but it’s actually more complex.”

“The animations are pretty flashy.”

“Streamer! Fight another one! We didn’t see enough!”

“Yeah, yeah! We need a better look!”

Round Two—A Deeper Look

Following the requests, Guinaifen guided Kafka deeper into the space station, searching for more enemies.

Meanwhile—

Kafka’s in-game dialogue played in the background.

“Since when did the Antimatter Legion get this weak?” Kafka sighed.

“I lured as many as I could. You wouldn’t want the Legion’s main forces to notice us, would you?”

“With just these weaklings? They won’t even slow down the Astral Express crew.”

“Relax. A Doomsday Beast is on its way.”

Guinaifen’s eyes widened as she read the dialogue.

She turned to her livestream audience:

“So… the Stellaron Hunters weren’t here to help.”

“In fact, they were the ones who lured the Antimatter Legion here!”

“They’re using the chaos to execute their own plan!”

“No wonder they’re called Stellaron Hunters—their methods are terrifying!“

Livestream Chat Explodes

“Wait… is this game from the perspective of the Stellaron Hunters?”

“The opening was already a huge bombshell, but can the devs really keep up the momentum?”

“I gotta say—the developer has guts. Aren’t they afraid of being hunted down by the Corporation or the Stellaron Hunters themselves?”

Inside the Space Station

As Guinaifen continued down the empty corridors,

She noticed paintings of famous figures on the walls.

These were real-life people, further fueling the chat’s excitement.

“Wait… is this game actually based on real events?”

Soon—

She entered a larger section of the space station.

Another battle began.

“Remember the feeling of breathing.”

This time, five enemies stood before her.

Just like before, Kafka attacked first.

Then, it was the enemy’s turn.

The Voidranger’s dual-blade strike looked painful.

At that moment—

A notification popped up next to Kafka’s portrait in the lower left corner.

[Energy Full—Activate Ultimate]

Guinaifen immediately complied.

“Vmmm—!”

Kafka’s umbrella-wielding silhouette flickered briefly.

Her stance shifted—she now dual-wielded two submachine guns.

“All good things must come to an end~”

At the same time—

A dark purple energy wrapped around her entire body, charging up immense power.

The attack button glowed, indicating it was a group attack.

Guinaifen licked her lips in excitement and pressed the button!

“Time to say goodbye.”

The Ultimate—A Scene of Pure Chaos

What followed was an absolutely breathtaking spectacle.

Kafka moved like a dancer, weaving through the enemy horde.

She spun, she leaped—her eyes closed, lost in the rhythm.

Gunfire flashed around her.

Silver-white tracers streaked across the battlefield.

Bullets flew wildly, ricocheting in perfectly choreographed destruction.

The visuals alone created a masterpiece of chaos.

As the onslaught ended,

The camera zoomed in on Kafka’s smirking face.

She formed a gun shape with her hand and mimicked an explosion.

Then, she whispered—

“Bong~”

BZZZZZZZZZ—!

An earth-shattering explosion erupted.

Every enemy was engulfed in flames, the screen shaking violently.

And when the dust settled—

Not a single enemy remained.

Complete Silence.

For a few seconds—

Nobody said a word.

Even the livestream chat froze, left in complete shock.
