Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Joyful Voice Lines

"With a limited number of four-star characters at launch, it's not hard to max out Eidolons."

"The Light Cone might be trickier, but it'll eventually show up in the weapon pool as a rate-up alongside five-stars."

"Oh, wait, that's not precise. With these Light Cone stats, who's the rate-up and who's the sidekick is hard to say…"

[What're we talking about? Start pulling!]

[Sorry, Seele, I pulled your full Eidolons just for Leon's Eidolons and Light Cone.]

[Shedding poor tears, I can only wait for my husband Leon to show up in a five-star rate-up pool.]

[Like we said, who's the rate-up and who's the sidekick isn't certain.]

[He's got strength and looks—lick, lick!]

[So, here's the question: if you miss Leon in the Doomsday Beast boss fight, when do you get him?]

[I'll answer: you get him if you take him into the Jarilo-VI story, don't worry, folks!]

[Nice, but how did the guy in the chat progress the story that fast?]

[Watching the stream while playing…]

At this point, Katiya ended the voice call with Ah Xian and hurriedly went to progress the story herself.

Ah Xian, however, wasn't in a rush because her beloved one-and-only was already in her hands.

Most of the live stream audience could see, through the webcam, her eyes practically dripping with affection.

Unfortunately, that gaze was directed at the screen, at Leon.

She zoomed in on Leon's model, admiring every detail, fangirling non-stop without repeating herself.

"Why do other streamers have character personas, but I don't?"

"Husband, set one up for me, please…"

"I'm heartbroken, folks. Anyone else heartbroken enough to wipe tears with tissues?"

"But my tears are on a whole other scale—half a basin, no problem…"

"Wahhh, thinking about making mistakes with Leon tonight fills me with guilt…"

"I really want my husband Leon to check out my Blade of Lothar~~"

[???]

[Oh my gosh, Mom's asking why there are tire marks on my face!]

[8K sis is scary, huh? Without some life experience, you wouldn't even get what she's saying.]

[Proof that female streamers go absolutely wild when they fangirl.]

[For real, male streamers fangirling over female characters aren't nearly this unhinged.]

[Yo, can can need Blade of Lothar?]

[Delusional fruit girl, calling the cops!]

"What's that? This is my soon-to-be maxed-out, pay-to-win husband. What's wrong with me flirting with him?"

[Where's the mod? Save us!]

Little did they know, the mod didn't even have a chance to issue a warning.

Couldn't find a reason! He really couldn't find one!

She was too clever, leaving no openings to shut her down.

"I know you're all impatient, but hold on. I just remembered I haven't listened to Leon's voice lines yet."

Ah Xian eagerly opened the relevant interface.

Seeing the CV credited as Leon, she paused for a moment.

This…

There's been talk before about MiHoYo basing characters on their CVs, but that was just a rumor.

Did they actually do it this time?

[First Meeting]

Welcome aboard. I'm the train's… doctor. Friendly, laid-back, reliable, easy to get along with. Just call me Leon.

[Greeting]

Wishing you a happy day. If you're feeling unwell, come find me anytime.

[Parting]

Insomnia? I'm a pro at treating insomnia. One go, and you'll sleep soundly till morning.

[About Self: Fun]

If you don't stir up some fun, life's got no color. Don't get me wrong—I'm not a Masked Fool.

[About Self: Reason for Becoming a Nameless]

The universe is so vast; I want to see it all.

[Chat: Life]

The three most painful things in life: one, going to work; two, waking up early for work; three, sleeping early to wake up early for work.

The office workers watching this immediately shed tears of deep, heartfelt agreement.

So true, bro!

If there was a choice, who'd want to work?

Some people get to eat, drink, have fun, and still make money—why isn't that me?

Thinking about it stung even more.

"Recalling my post-grad days as a workhorse, 8 AM to 7 PM, overtime till 10 or even midnight, and no overtime pay…"

"Even though I'm financially secure now and decide my own work, I totally get this."

Ah Xian sighed earnestly and clicked the next voice line.

[Hobby]

Of course, seeing those faces that want to beat me but can't, and trying only makes it worse.

Ugh, just like his Light Cone.

[Trouble]

Sometimes, with certain special patients, I wonder if curing them is depriving them of their right to be brain-dead?

"Pfft… hahaha!"

Not just Ah Xian—many viewers burst out laughing too.

That sarcasm… savage, right?

But to be fair, it's true.

Being a moron is a human right—how can you just take that away?

[Share]

Every meeting, I sit in the corner, play dumb when asked about projects,

clap first when the boss finishes talking, praise colleagues first for their hard work.

As long as you provide enough emotional value, not many will notice your actual work ability.

[Learned something!]

[The essence of workplace brown-nosing.]

[Don't actually try this—playing dumb and delaying projects might get you fired.]

[That just means you didn't kiss up to the boss hard enough.]

[23333.]

[Insight]

Those who help us aren't always friends, and friends don't always help us.

But rest assured, this rule doesn't apply to the train's crew.

Like reliable ol' me—if you're in trouble, just say the word.

"Total trickster vibes. Now I'm kinda doubting—is he really that reliable?"

"Ahem, his strength and looks are super reliable, but his personality's still up in the air."

"I'm guilty. I actually thought my husband's persona needs more inspection."

"As punishment, husband, come teach me math fill-in-the-blanks tonight. I'm a good kid who loves learning~~"

[Ah Xian, you're speeding again. Slow down.]

[How about drawing a doujin?]

"Annoying."

[You call us annoying after just a couple of comments?!]

"What speeding? We're close, but don't slander me with false accusations, or I'll sue for defamation."

Ah Xian glared, arguing slyly.

[About March 7th]

It's great to be lively and energetic in the prime of youth, but don't tell her I said that.

[About Himeko]

Humans never hide their desire for delicious things—except for that special coffee she brews on a whim.

[About Dan Heng]

Dan Heng's never come to me for health issues. If only little March could be that low-maintenance.

[About Welt]

Welt's past is quite colorful. Curious? Just ask him directly.

[About Pom-Pom]

The conductor is the conductor. Really tick off Pom-Pom, and you might get kicked off the train.

"Seems like everyone says Pom-Pom's not to be messed with. Could it be Akivili reincarnated or something?"

Ah Xian muttered, switching from interaction voice lines to battle voice lines.

[Battle Start: Weakness Break]

Oh, you're already in the red?

[Battle Start: Danger Alert]

I may be a doctor, but I know a thing or two about fighting.

[Turn Begin: 1]

Did I blow you up with your own heat?

[Turn Begin: 2]

Oh, you want to hit me?

These simple battle voice lines instantly filled the live stream with a cheerful vibe.
