The silver-haired woman faced away from the camera, revealing distinct triple helix curls at the ends of her long hair.

Indeed, those were Bronya's distinctive features!

As the woman turned around, Old Yang was struck dumb, feeling as if hit by lightning!

I-I-is that her?!

Bronya, when did you sneak into this game?

And why are you playing the grand protector's lady now?

Wait, no!

The grand protector is Cocolia, and Bronya is indeed her daughter.

But you two...

Did you accidentally switch scripts to become actors here?

Have you completed your mission on Earth and found new employment in this world?

Silver Wolf already surprised Welt once before, but now there's no denying it.

This unmistakably appears to be a grown-up Bronya!

Her name, appearance, even her demeanor—all bear striking similarities.

Unfortunately, the scene passed too quickly, leaving no time to closely examine this version of Bronya's characteristics.

However, she should reappear soon enough during the unfolding storyline.

Old Yang put down his phone.

Feeling compelled, he stood up and began pacing within the train compartment.

Gazing at the vast cosmos and shimmering Milky Way, Old Yang sought to suppress those absurd emotions creeping up on him.

Just then, Himeko let out a surprised exclamation.

"Hmm? The developers gifted us 1600 Starry Skies and announced a new limited-time character banner. Oh, it's already live?"

"Welt, look, there's a new character named 'Seele'."

"Who?"

Old Yang, who had just calmed down, felt his heart race once more.

As soon as he saw the illustrated image on the screen, he was utterly dumbfounded!

That hair color!

The butterfly motif!

Those iconic scythe weapons!

This clearly depicted an older version of Seele!

Alright now.

First Bronya, and now even Seele has appeared!

Did everyone secretly collaborate on a game script while I was away?

Belobog is filled with familiar faces!

"Welt, what's wrong?" Himeko asked, concerned.

Feeling that keeping this to himself might cause internal harm, Old Yang decided to share his observations with Himeko.

After listening carefully, Himeko pondered for a moment before responding, "I've encountered similar situations myself. Some souls are exceptionally brilliant, leaving comparable imprints even across different worlds."

"However, encountering one or two is understandable, but if you claim every person on this planet resembles someone you know, that indeed seems quite peculiar."

"Uh, not all of them are familiar faces, actually. For instance, Sampo and Gepard at the beginning were not people I knew," Old Yang explained.

"I see. In that case, I still lean towards the idea that they are merely coincidental resemblances."

Old Yang nodded helplessly.

Let's continue watching, he thought.

If another... Yes! If there's one more individual with the same name as someone from my past, I truly must visit this planet personally.

Perhaps...

it would feel just like coming home!

In Little Gui's stream, her game progress was swift as well.

She had already reached the Lower City.

There, she encountered Seele, an elite member of [Wildfire]; Natasha, an ordinary healer; and Hook, the leader of The Moles, known for his pitch-black fur.

Now, Guinaifen prepared to assist [Wildfire] in resolving the conflict between miners and vagrants over a new mineral vein.

Without hesitation, Guinaifen activated Himeko's ultimate ability.

As the Heavenfall Flame descended, three vagrants were instantly defeated, followed by Himeko's additional attack.

With one move, the battle concluded.

Guinaifen couldn't help but exclaim, "Himeko is truly amazing against groups!"

"Except when facing elite enemies like Bronya, where she might struggle slightly, she's incredibly useful otherwise."

"I have a bold idea—what if I draw another character with extreme single-target capabilities? Wouldn't that make us perfectly equipped for any situation?"

Viewers in the live chat promptly responded.

"Genius!"

"How did you know I got Welt on my tenth pull?"

"Heh heh, I just defeated Bronya with Welt in one go! His skill for breaking Imaginary Weakness Shields is incredibly fast!"

"You both have five-star characters now? Can someone please tell me where to claim mine?"

As Guinaifen continued watching her Himeko, she grew more and more fond of her character. Treating her like a precious gem, Guinaifen equipped her with the best Relics from their family collection, eager to nurture Himeko's strength to its fullest potential.

She then opened the teleportation interface.

With excitement, she exclaimed, "Fam, should I try my luck at drawing Mr. Welt? Wonder if he'd be incredibly powerful paired with Miss Himeko?"

Just then...

A new banner suddenly appeared next to the regular card pool, featuring Seele's image.

Below it was another Light Cone also themed after Seele.

Guinaifen initially thought there might have been a glitch.

Suddenly, a notification popped up indicating a received email.

She quickly checked it.

To her surprise, it displayed an unexpected bonus of additional Starry Sky points!

"Oh my gosh! How did 1600 extra Starry Skies appear in my inbox? Did the development team send out more rewards again?"

"Wait, why did I say 'again'?" Guinaifen looked as if she was about to burst into tears.

She began reading the game announcement carefully.

Two minutes later:

"What? A new five-star limited-time character?"

"I haven't even familiarized myself with all the characters in the regular pool yet! And now there's another one?"

"They made Seele a limited five-star right off the bat?"

"Feathered Spirit, your development speed is insane!"
