Honkai: Star Rail. Getting chased by players! [7]

[Eidolon 1] Wind: When using a skill, restore 50% of the total healing amount to a nearby ally.

[Eidolon 2] Cold: When using an Ultimate, gain an additional skill point.

[Eidolon 3] Heat: Skill level +2 (max level 15), Basic Attack level +1 (max level 10).

[Eidolon 4] Wet: When HP drops below 10% for the first time, restore 30% of all allies' HP.

[Eidolon 5] Dry: Ultimate level +2 (max level 15), Talent level +2 (max level 15).

[Eidolon 6] Fire: Excess healing converts into shields for an equal amount.

Upon seeing this very normal Eidolon interface, Kakaya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“I knew it! There’s no way he’d be a Harmonizer disguised as Abundance! Cava’s too straightforward for that. Look at these skills—they’re perfectly reasonable! Sure, the sixth Eidolon is a little mysterious, but that kind of major transformation is common for six-star Eidolons, especially for one of the ‘Big Three.’”

With this realization, Kakaya felt that his initial beginner’s guide wouldn’t need any major revisions. He just needed to create an additional guide focused on Cava specifically.

The reason Kakaya had been so tense when he first saw Cava’s skill set was that he had already finished and published his beginner’s guide the day before the game launched. As a data-focused content creator, his videos often relied on precise numbers, making the creation process lengthy and tedious.

Even though the guide only covered basic character recommendations, the sheer number of characters was overwhelming. The entire team had been working tirelessly for a week just to complete it!

Now, Kakaya could relax a little, since Cava wasn’t overpowered enough to force him to redo the whole video.

As the game progressed, the Astral Express trio was about to become a quartet.

【Confirmed, Cava’s just a solid healer, and at least his Eidolons are well-rounded. No glaring weaknesses.】

Some of the more level-headed viewers in the chat shared their thoughts.

【Man, I was hoping the Eidolons would add some ridiculous stuff, but I guess that’s it?】

【Hey Traveler, how’s Honkai: Star Rail going?】

【Did you notice Cava’s skill names? Is he supposed to be an acupuncturist?】

【I noticed! I’d love for Cava to give me a treatment, hehe!】

【Interesting, since he’s an acupuncturist, could he be connected to the Xianzhou ships later on?】

【Too bad we can’t see much of the characters’ backstories early on. We’ll have to wait until we level them up more.】

【Are you guys still watching the stream? I’m already booting up Honkai: Star Rail! Let’s go!】

Kakaya finally felt the pressure lift as he continued his journey through Honkai: Star Rail.

Little did he know, the relief he felt today would come back to haunt him later. In the future, Kakaya would probably want to slap himself for underestimating things. As he would discover, no matter which character he was calculating for maximum damage, one particular figure would always make an appearance...

“I’m such a fool, really...”

He would mutter to himself while staying up late, crunching the numbers.

...

Meanwhile, Cava, busy helping heal injured members of the station’s team, suddenly heard the familiar prompt from the Honkai: Star Rail system.

“Player Affection +10. Progress to unlocking five-star rating: 10/10000.”

Cava paused for a moment, staring blankly at the screen. The injured researcher, who had just been treated, trembled as she clutched his arm, her voice shaking with emotion.

“Doctor... Am I... Am I going to be okay?”

The female researcher, grabbing onto Cava’s arm, looked quite emotional.

“Uh... it’s just a minor injury. You’ll be fine,” Cava replied gently, casually pushing away the hand that was inching a little too close to his chest.

“Oh, really? Then why does my whole body feel tingly?”

The female researcher cradled her hand, gazing shyly at Cava’s handsome face, her cheeks flushed red.

Zzzzz...

With a shake of his head, Cava removed the lightning needle from the researcher’s body. The needle, made of elemental energy, dissolved into an electric arc in his hand.

“Cava! How’s everything going over here?”

March 7th came over, having just finished calming down the station personnel with Stelle.

“No major problems here. Most of these people have only suffered minor injuries. Honestly, the most serious injury we’ve seen so far was Alan’s.”

Cava glanced toward the white-haired boy in the distance, who was still talking with the security staff.

“But I’ve stabilized his condition with acupuncture. As long as we don’t run into any more danger, he should recover in a few days.”

“Wow, good thing we have you! Looks like the train will have its very own doctor from now on!” March 7th clapped her hands excitedly, beaming at Cava. Having a proper doctor on the Astral Express would be a huge help on their Trailblazing journey. At the very least, they wouldn’t need to worry after drinking Himeko’s coffee...

“Well, don’t worry, I’m no expert, but I can handle minor injuries and illnesses,” Cava replied with a smile. Before coming to this world, he had studied medicine, specializing in traditional Chinese medicine. With the powers of Abundance enhancing his medical knowledge, healing was almost effortless.

“Great! If any of us get sick, we’ll be counting on you! I’m going to check on Stelle now.”

Watching the lively March 7th, Cava felt his mood brighten. After all, who could resist such an energetic and charming girl with her quirky thought process?

As he watched March 7th flit about like a butterfly, tending to the others in the control module, Cava found an empty chair and sat down to rest.

He hadn’t stopped helping the wounded since they’d entered the control module. Truth be told, the survivors were lucky—they had managed to make it through the attack alive. Surviving was their greatest fortune.

Still, according to the plot, there was a big challenge awaiting them soon...

Saving his energy to prepare for the upcoming battle, Cava took a moment to recall the system’s earlier message.

A five-star character... So, when his affection score reached 10,000, he’d unlock the full five-star template?

At that thought, Cava couldn’t help but think about the skill set he had designed himself. With his extensive experience in turn-based games, Cava knew how to attract player attention. Now that he could heal and buff, he was confident that he’d reach that 10,000 affection score in no time!
