Such ability and performance instantly won over the audience.
...
: Damn, this guy's like a real street boss!
: His social experience is insane. I seriously want to know what job Boothill used to have.
: So far in Honkai: Star Rail, another character who's super grounded!
: Unique verbal quirks and behavior—so interesting!
: He even looks optimistic, full of humor—he's the kind of guy whose every line you want to write down!
--------------------------------------
The Galaxy Ranger made his first appearance, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
At this moment— Dan Heng, who had gone out, also returned.
Like Boothill, he had just taken a stroll nearby and gathered some information.
"Back already?" Boothill greeted him with a smile.
"Yeah. What, she's not back yet?"
Dan Heng glanced at the front desk— the young lady was still nowhere to be seen.
"Yeah, I'm starting to think letting her meet Sunday wasn't such a good idea." Boothill joked.
But both of them had already anticipated this situation.
"Whether it's the staff or the Family members, they're all like a bunch of fools, completely unaware of the anomaly."
Boothill swept his gaze over the surrounding crowd and spoke in a low voice.
"Same here, I couldn't get any useful information from anyone I asked."
Dan Heng replied flatly, frowning slightly in frustration.
Repeated setbacks in the real world and being unable to enter the dream to help his teammates made even a tactician like him feel troubled.
But at that moment, Boothill said smugly, "Good thing I left a backup plan for that Memokeeper. If she can't enter the dream, she'll leave me a bottle of wine in the VIP lounge of the hotel."
"Backup plan?"
"Phew."
Dan Heng visibly let out a breath of relief, then said helplessly, "Mr. Boothill, if you have a backup plan, please tell me in advance."
He didn't understand—if there was a plan, why not mention it earlier?
Wasn't that just wasting time?
Boothill chuckled and explained, "Forgive me, Brother Dan Heng. Just a habit of mine. I've got a few troublemaker friends—if I lay out the whole plan, they'll definitely mess with it. No amount of backups would be enough."
Dan Heng shook his head and didn't respond, instead asking, "Then how do we get into the VIP lounge?"
The hotel's VIP lounge required identity verification.
And their current status was basically undocumented.
"Leave it to some street smarts, of course."
Boothill motioned for Dan Heng to follow him, and Dan Heng looked at him with some curiosity, wondering how he planned to solve this problem.
The two soon arrived at the entrance to the VIP lounge.
Boothill swaggered up to the lobby manager: "You're the manager here, right?"
Manager Dennis gave a slight bow and a formal smile: "Yes, how may I assist you?"
"We're the Nameless Guests from the Astral Express!"
Boothill shouted loudly, eager for everyone around to hear their identity.
"We just came to check in, and that girl at the door said she was going to find someone in charge—then vanished into thin air! My buddy and I have just been standing around, no water, no food!"
"For heaven's sake, is this how The Family treats guests?!"
As Boothill loudly berated them—
Dan Heng crossed his arms, tilted his head, and stared at Boothill. After Boothill finished, he quietly muttered, "This is your so-called street smarts?"
Boothill grinned: "This is called fighting for our rightful benefits."
Dennis, on the other hand, didn't hesitate for long. After a quick internal calculation— he smiled: "Please be patient, sirs. I understand the situation. It may take some time to contact Mr. Sunday. In the meantime, I'll arrange access to two VIP lounge drink areas for you both."
"See~"
"Problem solved."
Boothill turned and winked smugly.
Dan Heng sighed, paused a moment, then said slowly, "…Next time, don't call yourself a Nameless Guest."
His tone carried a bit of disdain and exasperation.
Boothill didn't mind, happily following the manager to the seating area.
...
...
: Hahaha, the interaction between these two is way too funny!
: The Nameless's reputation is totally getting ruined by Boothill, lol.
: Dan Heng is just too well-mannered—if it were me, I'd definitely say I don't know this guy.
: But come to think of it, the name "Nameless" is really useful.
: Boothill used the Nameless to pressure the manager, and the manager actually certified them with credentials and even treated them kindly.
: That means, compared to causing a scene, they're more worried about truly offending the Nameless, so even if the identity is still unclear, they've got to play nice.
: Previously, when Himeko was negotiating with Topaz in Belobog, she also hinted that the Nameless had terrifying connections.
: I'm really curious—on this tiny express, with just a few people, and not even a big organization—yet they seem to have ridiculously high status.

As the comments flooded the screen...
Boothill and Dan Heng had already entered the VIP room.
They ordered some strange drinks and snacks, sat by the table, eating while exchanging intel.
Dan Heng already knew about the identity of Acheron as an Emanator of Nihility.
And at this moment, he was especially concerned about this Emanator of Nihility.
Dan Heng said, "It's already unusual for Harmony to invite other factions; the IPC and the Masked Fools are also involved. If the Emanator of Nihility you speak of truly exists, then this situation is getting too tangled."
Boothill nodded slightly while sipping his drink: "Hmm... actually, there's something that concerns me more."
Dan Heng raised an eyebrow, signaling Boothill to continue."You know it too—those who follow the Hunt are the most dangerous group in the galaxy. No sane person would impersonate someone from the Xianzhou Alliance or the Galaxy Rangers. That's basically asking for death."
Boothill frowned and said, "But this Emanator of Nihility—I don't think she's crazy. She has a sense of self. If she were insane, I'd get it. But someone like her—why would she want to attract the attention of the Galaxy Rangers? What's she trying to do?"
Their conversation made the previously relaxed audience immediately hold their breath.
The most mysterious woman in Penacony—her goal was indeed bizarre.
But after Boothill appeared, Acheron's objective seemed a bit clearer, as if everything was finally lining up.
Yet upon realizing that, the audience became even more confused. If her goal is the Galaxy Rangers, then why did she come to Penacony?
What's happening in the story doesn't seem to align with Acheron's stated goal. It feels more like two parallel storylines.
And so the audience waited with bated breath for what Boothill would say next.
The mechanical cowboy on screen scratched his head, racking his brain to find the right words.
From the look of it, whatever he's about to say will be explosive.
"Hmm..."
"Doesn't the Xianzhou have a saying?"
Boothill finally relaxed his brows, stared straight at Dan Heng, and slowly spoke.
The audience's eyes were already wide open.
Could it be...
As anticipation mounted, Boothill shouted loudly: "The God of the Skybow proclaims what he wants with a beam of light!"
...
...
: WTF!
