Train Conductor, but in Honkai: Star Rail

Zhou Yue was playing a game called Starrail. Since it was Chinese New Year, her relatives asked where she worked, since she'd studied railway engineering.

A thought struck her, and she made something up on the spot--

"Oh, I work on the Astral Express."

"You haven't heard of it? Come on! Our train only started running last year."

"Who have I met? Tons of people!"

"Like my coworkers. Our Conductor has a rabbit, and the team leader is always making coffee."

"People from the E-Bin often get on. Yeah, I even met a doctor who teaches!"

"You have no idea how dark it gets. We ran into two con artists mixed up in gangs, one with blue hair and one with twin tails!"

"As for important people, there's a high-ranking official in Jing City, at the provincial department level. His kid is incredibly clever, winning all kinds of competitions at a young age, but is always looking to compete with people!"

"Foreigners? Of course! A blond-haired one got on before."

She made things up on the fly, grabbing a few characters to answer every question.

That same day, after she'd finished fabricating her stories, a resume she'd sent out ages ago with no response finally got a reply.

When she opened it, she saw that A-Tie wanted her to start work in three days?

Zhou Yue happily packed her things, slung on her backpack, and went to report for duty.

The moment she stepped onto the train, Zhou Yue was so shocked she couldn't speak.

...She'd come to the real Astral Express?!

Later, as the game in Zhou Yue's hands kept getting updated and the things she'd once made up one by one became reality, she found herself torn: should she tell them that this game existed?

#When the game enters the real world#

#I was just making things up, who knew they'd come true!#

#What if Honkai: Star Rail characters lived in the modern world?#

Please add my upcoming story, A Plagiarist's Tale, to your favorites!

Blurb:

The protagonist transmigrates to an interstellar world and unexpectedly takes over a run-down company. Their only golden finger is the ability to acquire cross-world copyrights. Quietly getting things in order, the protagonist begins the business of bringing over and recreating works from Earth.

In other words, a plagiarist.

No, wait, a plagiarism company.

Later, readers angrily complain: "Damn company, give us Cao Xueqin! Dream of the Red Chamber ended on a cliffhanger!! How could it end on a cliffhanger!!!"

The protagonist smiles: "I'd like to know that too..."

Theme: Finding oneself between reality and falsehood.
