"Huh? Four consecutive updates? Including March 7th's PV, that makes five in total!"
The young man gasped.
"Holy crap! This is too generous! Afraid I'll get bored?
miHoYo, oh miHoYo! Su Chen, oh Su Chen!
Keep it up—tomorrow's updates better not be fewer than today's!"
"Hmm..."
But now he faced a dilemma. "Which one to watch first? To: The Faint Star is so long, almost a full episode.
Might as well watch the other PVs first—they're only a few minutes combined.
First up: Next Stop: The Galaxy—let's go!"
——
The galaxy stretched endlessly across the cosmos.
Suddenly, a streak of light flashed by—a train, a train speeding through the starry river.
"This thing inside me... called a Stellaron..."
Su Chen, playing the Trailblazer, slowly raised his hands as if reaching for the future.
"Trying to catch stars?" March 7th, adorable as ever, walked over, looking at the Caelus—or perhaps at us beyond the screen.
She giggled, and the scene transitioned.
Himeko's voiceover played: "After thousands of years, Jarilo-VI has ended up like this?"
Then, the Administrative District of Belobog was showcased in all its glory.
"Ready for your first trailblazing journey after boarding?"
Caelus heard Himeko's words.
A chess piece on the table trembled, foreshadowing the coming adventure.
The next moment.
Caelus, March 7th, and Dan Heng stood in a snowy wasteland.
"Let's go!"
The camera cut to an aerial view.
Dan Heng twirled his spear with effortless cool.
The scenes flashed rapidly—
Caelus sprinting, monsters darting past,
March 7th drawing her bow, Welt Yang stepping over a black hole.
The lens then focused on a blonde woman,
her features obscured in shadow.
Only her lips moved: "They carry the seeds of destruction, heralding ruin."
March 7th, Dan Heng, and Caelus unleashed their abilities against enemies.
"Let the three of us show them what we've got!"
Then, a girl named Seele appeared on screen.
Her movements were dazzlingly fast, leaving afterimages in the air!
[Damn! Yellow Flash?]
[Flying Thunder God?]
[Space-time ninjutsu?]
[Minato Namikaze?]
[Headless flight technique?]
Finally, Welt Yang emerged, summoning a massive black hole.
With a stomp of his cane—
The Express logo appeared.
But the video wasn't over.
Himeko sipped her coffee gracefully. "Humanity has never hidden its desire to conquer the stars.
And that includes me."
The screen faded to black with the message: May This Journey Lead Us Starward.
[Damn! Still teasing Season 2?! Just release it already!]
[Right?! This feels like pure marketing. You've changed, miHoYo. You've changed, Su Chen. This isn't like before!]
[It's not so bad. At least they're not hiring influencers to hype it up shamelessly. Making their own PV for Season 2 is normal, no?]
[But I can't wait any longer!]
[Whatever, bros. Moving on to the next PV!]
[Which one?]
[The Witness—it has Kafka!]
——
"The cosmos!"
"The Aeons!"
Kafka, for some reason, stood inside the Express, playing her beloved violin.
The perspective suddenly shifted to the Caelus's view.
"The Astral Express!"
The camera zoomed out, revealing the full majesty of the train
traveling across the galaxy.
"Did I get dragged into some sci-fi movie?"
Clips from Season 1 began playing,
accompanied by Himeko's narration:
"You know you have another choice. If you're willing, you can come with me!
In the past, we've stopped at many worlds. And in the future, we'll continue to do so."
Then Welt Yang's voice joined in:
"From our current vantage point, gazing at this planet gives the illusion of omniscience.
Only when you stand on that soil will you realize how small and helpless you truly are."
The Herta Space Station segments faded, replaced by Beloborg's story.
The audience wasn't stupid—they noticed immediately.
[Wait, isn't this Beloborg? Actual Season 2 footage? Was it already filmed?!]
[Very likely! Then why not release it?!]
[Dammit, miHoYo, are you teasing me? Fine, you've got my attention. Just update already—I'll even simp!]
"The Express passes through world after world. We are but transient guests—
witnesses to fleeting stories!"
"Our ancestors built this city with their bare hands, struggling to preserve civilization amidst the blizzards.
Even if this world is doomed to collapse, the path to its end should be paved by human hands!"
Then came a glimpse of an epic battle—a mysterious blonde woman floating in the sky,
stunning effects that set pulses racing in mere seconds!
[What's this? Another boss fight?]
[Definitely!]
[So hype! Can it top the Doomsday Beast?]
[Doomsday Beast was peak. Doubt anything can surpass its effects, tech, and narrative tension!]
[True. The Caelus' fearless dialogue still gives me chills.]
[As long as Beloborg's boss fight reaches 70% of Doomsday Beast's level, I'm satisfied!]
"Like weaving a tapestry, we can only thread one golden strand at a time.
But in the end, it will form a magnificent picture.
On to the next destination—to pave the way for the future!"
Kafka's narration ended, returning to the Trailblazer,
who caught a drifting star in his palm.
The screen went black.
A holographic Kafka appeared aboard the Express.
"Passengers of the Astral Express, I must ask you—
to change your destination."
Then, instead of the usual logo,
the words To Be Continued... appeared.
[I have early classes! A PV barely two minutes long, and you still cliffhanger it?!]
[Ugh, I can't take this anymore. Where's miHoYo's office? I need to duel Su Chen!]
[Bring two pounds of razor blades for me, thanks.]
[I'm joining you. miHoYo is really—I have no words! Teasing us like this—is this appropriate?!]
——
The young man gritted his teeth at To Be Continued...—the unresolved tension was unbearable,
like a thousand ants crawling under his skin!
He sighed deeply. "Nothing could be more frustrating than this. Time for Serval's PV.
Wow! miHoYo's taste never misses—another wife material right here!"
Scenes of Beloborg flashed by until settling on a blonde, blue-eyed beauty.
As she walked, the surroundings seemed to pixelate stylishly.
"Ha!"
Serval scratched her head as if remembering something. "Keep up!"
Next shot: Serval leaped into the air, strumming her guitar hard.
"Now it's my rhythm!"
Cue the audience's favorite part—
the character close-up.
Every angle, every detail of Serval showcased flawlessly.
♪ Sound waves like dynamite send signals sky-high. ♪
♪ Strings of thunder make you lose your mind. ♪
♪ Heartbeats will shake me, so rules can't break me. ♪
♪ Crank the sound and let your soul be free. ♪
♪ The lightning strikes writing off the wall. ♪
♪ Let yourself fall... into it all! ♪
[So cool!]
[Enough! Su Chen, hear this if Season 2 doesn't have Serval, I'm out!]
[Is this an MV or a PV?]
[The style's totally different from previous PVs!]
[Serval's so bold, so straightforward! I love this rocker girl vibe!]
[New crush unlocked.]
[Holy crap, sis is badass.]
[Thanks, Serval's my new GF.]
[Back of the line, pal.]
[My wife sings so well.]
[Get lost.]
[The song's too good I'm stuck replaying it!]
[What's the track name? miHoYo, why must you hide everything?!]
[I'm hyped beyond words!]
[?????]
[This song slaps goosebumps everywhere!]
[Do I look like I care about data usage? Where's the full version?!]
[Fine! Restarting infinite loop engaged.]
[BREAKING NEWS!!!]
[Bros, if you haven't watched To: The Faint Star DON'T! Trust me.]
[Buddy, saying that just makes me want to watch it more.]
——
The young man scoffed.
"What, a video's gonna make me depressed? Pfft."
