The Gamer who traveled to Honkai: Star Rail

While Pei Guang was making preparations for capturing their targets, a girl suddenly appeared in the room. She was wearing a black engineer's uniform, her daring outfit accentuating her figure perfectly.

The moment she arrived, she turned to the Herta Puppet in the office and said, "Good news! The space-time backpack is complete. While it's not suitable for mass production, we can have key personnel each carry one. If they encounter danger, they can be instantly teleported back!"

Vill-V's eyes shone with excitement. Ever since she joined Fire Moth, the presence of the Antimatter Legion had kept her from ever truly relaxing. When Pei Guang arrived on Earth, and she learned even more of the truth through the Herta Puppet, she realized the scale of the threat they were facing.

The Antimatter Legion, the Calamity Vanguards, the Lord Ravagers, and the Destruction Aeon…

Fighting against such terrifying foes seemed like a mere fantasy. 

But who was she? She was Vill-V! Her role was to turn fantasy into reality. No matter how predetermined the outcome seemed, she would do her best to resist it. More importantly…

The Herta Puppet nodded. "Oh? So the space-time backpack is ready? Hmm, you don't need to report that to me. Report to him instead. Let me introduce you—this is Pei Guang."

Following the direction of the Herta Puppet's gesture, Vill-V turned her gaze toward Pei Guang.

She studied him with curiosity. She had seen pictures of Pei Guang before, but from what she'd heard from Elysia and the Herta Puppet, she had imagined him to be an incredibly fearsome individual.

After all, Lord Ravagers were capable of destroying entire star systems, and Pei Guang had managed to take one down. How terrifying must he be?

But now that she was face-to-face with him… he seemed so… normal?

Even the look in his eyes—there was no overwhelming sense of pressure, just the energy of an ordinary person?

That was her first impression. But as she scrutinized him more closely, her expression turned serious.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Vill-V, an engineer within Fire Moth. I mainly handle construction and engineering projects, and I've also been involved in research on space-time technology and time manipulation. First of all, I want to thank you for what you've done for the survivors on Earth. I know who you are—you're the famous Pei Guang! It's an honor to meet you~"

There was no dramatic moment of realization here—Elysia had already sent photos to key personnel, and the advanced technology Pei Guang had introduced had left Vill-V utterly stunned.

Manipulating time and space—she had never heard of any technology capable of such feats. But now, technology that theoretically could have been created fifty years ago was sitting right in front of her.

On top of that, he had personally taken down an entire Antimatter Legion force and helped humanity eliminate a Doomsday Beast that could have destroyed Earth.

In Vill-V's eyes, it didn't matter how she acted around others—when facing Pei Guang, she would show the utmost respect.

The Herta Puppet added, "Vill-V is quite a skilled mechanic, though I'd say the chances of Aha setting their sights on her are even higher than with Nous. Oh, right—you guys are planning to capture some Legion small fries, right? Take her along. Let her help you dismantle their tech."

In the Herta Puppet's evaluation, whether it was Mobius or Mei, they both had a high chance of being invited into the Genius Society. But Vill-V? She'd probably catch Aha's attention before that could even happen.

Pei Guang smirked. "Sure thing! We've got our team set now. Oh, and get me more combat personnel. We'll draw their aggro, the fighters will handle the captures, and once they're restrained, she'll dismantle their tech. Then we'll transport everything back in batches. Perfect plan."

Vill-V blinked and asked curiously, "Wait… what exactly do you need me to do?"

Pei Guang: "We're going to strip the weapons and gear off those Voidrangers. We're low on resources, so while we're capturing them for power generation, we might as well salvage their weapons and use them to strengthen ourselves. Don't underestimate the Antimatter Legion—sure, they're melee fighters, but even their close-combat tech is insanely advanced."

Vill-V: "Whew! That's a pretty bold idea. But if we manage to capture some of them alive, I should be able to dismantle their equipment, because~~"

Vill-V tried to maintain an air of mystery, but the Herta Puppet cut straight to the point. "After the Doomsday Beast was taken down, the scientists here—under my guidance—disassembled its remains. They're currently experimenting with its materials to develop weapons capable of destroying the Legion. While they haven't fully succeeded yet, they've made significant progress in breaking down the Legion's technology and weapons."

Pei Guang: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's move!"

Hearing that they were about to set out, Vill-V interjected, "Can you wait a bit? I need to make some preparations."

Pei Guang: "Fine. We'll check out the barracks in the meantime. Just find me there once you're ready. I also need to loot—uh, I mean, inspect—some equipment. Oh, and Herta No. 1, make sure the personnel assigned to me are trustworthy. I don't want to share my skill buffs with disloyal people."

Herta Puppet: "Elysia will be meeting up with you soon. She'll handle the personnel selection. As for loyalty, don't worry—she's already picked a batch of soldiers who are absolutely loyal to you."

Pei Guang: "Nice! Then we'll check out the barracks. With all the tech trees you've unlocked, I bet there's a ton of fun stuff waiting for me."

Herta Puppet: "Go ahead! I'll send you the coordinates for our current weapon stockpile. Everything's arranged according to your preferences. I've put in so much effort—how are you going to reward me?"

Pei Guang: "A big, passionate kiss?"

Herta Puppet: "Eek! That sounds more like a punishment!"

Stelle: "Isn't that a reward?"

March 7th: "Isn't that a reward?"

Herta Puppet: "You all can have one if you want—I'm passing."

Stelle turned to Pei Guang, rubbing her hands together excitedly. "Ah Guang, you know me… my reward…"

Pei Guang: "Yeah, sure, here's a big fat nothing for you."

Stelle started rubbing her hands excitedly: "Ooh,that sounds good! I'm not picky!"

Pei Guang: "Wait a second—who taught you to talk like this?"

Stelle, March 7th, and the Herta Puppet all pointed at him simultaneously. Seeing how things were going, Vill-V also raised her hand and pointed at him.

Stelle: "Hehehe~ Just messing around. But seriously, Ah Guang, why do you need those standard weapons?"

Pei Guang: "You idiot. We're in a crossover world—how can we not play an FPS if we have the chance?"

March 7th frowned. "But both the Xianzhou and Herta Space Station already have plenty of advanced firearms, don't they?"

Pei Guang's expression darkened, filled with nostalgia. "Yeah… I've got quite a collection of sci-fi weapons. But there's no M4. No RPK. No Mosin-Nagant. No burst-fire rifles. 

Without those, any so-called 'armory' is incomplete. But this is Earth. Earth has them all! Give me an M4A1 or an HK416, and I just might solo that Lord Ravager myself!"

Hearing that, Stelle fell into deep thought. She didn't quite understand what "burst-fire," "M4," or "Mosin-something" meant, but she caught the key phrase—guns could solo a Lord Ravager. In that instant, her eyes lit up with excitement once again.

Stelle: "Ah Guang! Let's go! Give me one of those Mosing-something, and we'll go take down the Lord Ravager!"

Pei Guang: "Let's move! Even if we can't do much else, wouldn't it be nice to have another powerhouse in our Star Destroyer ship to poke around with? Pull him out and stab him whenever you want, how cool would that be?"

March 7th: "And even if the Star Destroyer doesn't work, we've still got the Echo of War! I don't know what kind of nonsense you're talking about, but if we're stabbing a Lord Ravager, count me in!"

With that, the three of them stormed off, full of enthusiasm. Watching their retreating figures, Vill-V turned to the Herta Puppet.

Vill-V: "You said a Lord Ravager can destroy an entire star system. Can a creature that powerful really be taken down with regular guns?"

The Herta Puppet sat back in her chair, deep in thought. "If it's him… probably. Go make your preparations. Once you start working with him, you'll see just how bizarre Pei Guang's abilities really are."
