I Became Robin?! (Honkai Star Rail)

Peace Dove: "Huh?"

Free Eagle: "Uh, what I mean is, if Robin works for the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, doesn't that make you one too?"

Robin glanced at her phone, raising an eyebrow. While the explanation wasn't technically wrong, she couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't what he'd originally intended to say.

Could this guy be with the Bureau too? And judging by his tone, he's probably overseas.

Just as Robin was pondering this, her WeChat chimed with two friend requests: Shu Cat and Invincible Bro from the group chat.

She immediately accepted both requests, adding two new contacts to her previously empty WeChat list. Then, she quickly created a new WeChat group chat.

Shu Cat: "Is this really Robin? Or is it some kind of scam?"

Robin's WeChat profile used her real name and photo, a rare instance of full transparency online. Ironically, this very authenticity made it seem almost too good to be true at first glance.

Without hesitation, she pressed the voice input button and sent a voice message: "Are you the two colleagues who were recommended to me?"

As die-hard fans of Robin, Shu Cat and Invincible Bro were intimately familiar with her voice. There could be no stronger proof of her identity.

Almost immediately, Shu Cat exclaimed, "It's really you, Robin! I'm such a huge fan!"

Robin replied, "Thank you for your support."

It's worth noting that Robin typed her responses this time. To be honest, she wasn't fond of voice communication. The main reason was that in her previous life, her boss had a habit of sending voice messages that were forty to fifty seconds long, or even longer. Robin would have to listen intently for the entire duration, and if anything distracted her, she'd have to start all over again. It was honestly a bit torturous.

Unlike the somewhat eccentric Shu Cat, Invincible Bro quickly got down to business. "What exactly do you need us to do?" he asked.

Robin slowly explained that their tasks would be video editing and managing the comment section. With two of them, they could each handle one job.

The video editing was essentially the same thing Robin did herself every day after her streams ended. To put it nicely, it was "video editing," but to be blunt, it was just randomly chopping up clips and posting them.

Since Robin was hiring someone to help with this, she naturally had high expectations. But she wasn't quite sure how to articulate them.

"Just do your best to make the videos as polished as possible," she said.

Shu Cat readily accepted the assignment.

As for the other job—moderating the comments section—Robin simply needed to grant Invincible Bro administrator privileges and let him handle the rest.

This clearly showed that Robin lacked the temperament to become a capitalist or a ruthless boss. These two tasks could easily be combined into one role, paying a single salary.

In fact, she could have handled the comments section herself. A simple post from her account would have attracted hordes of fans eager to volunteer their time for free, fueled by their devotion.

Shu Cat and Invincible Bro clearly recognized this. Invincible Bro asked, "Is... is that all there is to the job? Nothing else?"

"Nope, that's it," Robin replied.

Invincible Bro hesitated. "Just for this small task, you're going to pay me a salary? That doesn't seem right."

Robin: "So... you'll help Shu Cat with the video production? And maybe moderate the comments section in your spare time?"

Invincible Bro: "Uh... yeah, I guess that works."

Next, they discussed payment. Since Robin had never hired anyone before, she had no idea what a fair wage would be. This led to an absurd situation: as the employer, she kept offering more money, while Invincible Bro, the prospective employee, kept trying to lower the price.

Meanwhile, in the WeChat Group, Shu Cat had sent one initial message and then vanished. Invincible Bro handled all the work details with Robin. In the adjacent Chat Group, however, Shu Cat was chattering non-stop like a machine gun:

Shu Cat: "@Peace Dove @Peace Dove, Daddy, I love you to death!"

Shu Cat: "Robin sent me a voice message! Her voice is so dreamy!"

Shu Cat: "She actually offered more money during the salary negotiation? I'm gonna cry."

Shu Cat: "I can't take it anymore! She's just too adorable! She's so endearingly clueless!"

Peace Dove: "?"

Robin sent a question mark in the doujinshi group chat before switching back to the WeChat group.

"Robin: @Shu Cat, does that cover all the requirements? Can you handle it?"

"Shu Cat: Yes!"

Robin stared at her screen, speechless. Seriously? The difference in his behavior between the two groups was astounding.

In any case, the outcome was clear: Robin no longer needed to edit her streams herself every night. She could simply wait for Shu Cat and Invincible Bro to send her the finished videos and then upload them to the website.

Once everything was settled, Robin returned to the doujinshi group chat and resumed chatting with everyone.

It was oddly amusing that the same three people were chatting in both groups. The only difference was Robin's identity: she was Robin in the WeChat group and Peace Dove in the doujinshi group chat.

This made Robin wonder: If Shu Cat ever found out that Peace Dove was actually Robin, wouldn't his jaw drop?

Or might he remember all the ridiculous things he'd said about her in front of "Peace Dove" and die of embarrassment?

Time passed. On the tenth day after the Fancheng Virus outbreak, the military and the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations had cleared the third infected cluster. By the thirteenth day, they had eliminated the fourth, leaving only one remaining. The crisis would soon be declared over.

However, on that very day, a minor incident occurred in Longcheng. A brand-new Dimensional Rift materialized in the azure sky, and several White Specters materialized directly beneath it, drifting aimlessly through the air.

This was the most common type of Dimensional Rift—the kind that spawns monsters. These so-called White Specters were intangible, ethereal beings that resembled traditional ghosts from movies. They could float, pass through walls, and emanate a chilling aura that could be felt simply by being near them.

They actively attacked living creatures within their line of sight, drifting over to latch onto their victims and slowly drain their life force until death.

Conventional weapons proved ineffective against these spectral entities. Fortunately, since ghost-type monsters had appeared before, the Dragon Nation had long since developed specialized weaponry to counter them.
