Alright, let’s talk about finding the Herta Store. I remember spending a good chunk of time trying to figure this out myself when I first started accumulating those Herta Bonds from the Simulated Universe.
My Search Begins
So, I had these bonds piling up, right? And the game tells you they’re for the Herta Store. Great. But where exactly is this store? It’s not like there’s a big neon sign pointing the way.
My first thought was, logically, it must be near Herta herself. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Her office, maybe? So, I teleported over to her office on the Herta Space Station. Looked around, talked to her (well, her puppet), but nope. No store options popped up. Just the usual dialogue.
Okay, plan B. I started wandering around the Space Station. I checked the Supply Zone, the Storage Zone… basically just ran around hoping to stumble upon it. Spent maybe 15 minutes just exploring areas I’d already cleared, thinking maybe I missed an NPC somewhere.
Checking the Map (Finally)
Then I had a thought – maybe it’s marked on the main map? Sometimes important vendors are. I pulled up the map for the Herta Space Station, specifically focusing on the Master Control Zone. That’s the main central area where you first arrive, with Asta and the others usually hanging around.
And there it was. Tucked away, not super obvious, but definitely there. On the map of the Master Control Zone, near the center platform where the main teleport point is, I spotted a specific icon. It looked kinda like a diamond or a generic shop symbol. Hovering over it revealed the name “Wen Shiqi”.
Found Him!
So, I fast-traveled to the main Master Control Zone waypoint. From there, it was just a short walk. I headed towards that icon I saw on the map, and sure enough, there was an NPC standing there named Wen Shiqi.
Talked to him, and bingo! The Herta Store interface opened up. This guy is the keeper of the goods.
What’s Inside?
The store itself is pretty straightforward. You use the Herta Bonds you earn from clearing worlds in the Simulated Universe. Here’s basically what you can grab:
- Some specific 5-star Light Cones (they rotate or you unlock more, can’t quite recall the exact mechanic offhand, but they are good starting points).
- Star Rail Passes (both the regular ones and the special ones).
- Superimposers for the store’s Light Cones.
It felt good to finally spend those bonds! It’s not hidden like some super secret, but it’s also not explicitly pointed out early on. You just gotta know to look for Wen Shiqi in the Master Control Zone on the Herta Space Station. Took me a bit of unnecessary running around, but hey, that’s part of the fun sometimes, figuring things out on your own.
