They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 255 Jing Yuan: I want to retire!!

After demonstrating his powers to the train crew, Danlei, intending to give them a heads-up, continued...
"Alright, you now know the basic rules of this world."

This is probably the first time you've encountered such a unique world.

So, before we let you freely explore and develop the world, let's play a little game to familiarize yourselves with the rules.

After Dan Lei finished speaking, he looked at Xing and smiled.

"Xing, let's play cards."

Since time is limited, let's play the simplest game: draw cards and compare their values, best of three.

"As for the wager, I require you not to rummage through trash cans on this planet."

Xingyi immediately objected when Danlei told her not to rummage through the trash can.

"No way! Going through the trash cans is my way of exploring them, and you can't stop me!!"

Dan Lei wasn't surprised by Xing's reaction at all, and continued to laugh.
"This is a game of showing the rules. Look at Articles 2 and 3 of the Covenant. You can actually ask me to give you the right to rummage through all the trash cans on this planet."

Don't worry, I promise that if I lose, I won't use my special privileges as the One God to cheat.

After Dan Lei said that, Xing fell into thought, then smiled.
“Okay, add one more condition: if I win, you have to put trash cans on the streets of every city on the planet.”

Judging from Xing's attitude, it seems like he's destined to be inseparable from trash cans for the rest of his life. No wonder he's the one who created the trash can meme.

So, Danlei nodded in agreement and said...

"Alright, next is Article Six of the Covenant. Before the game begins, you must say 'Swear an oath to the Covenant'."

"To be fair, Mr. Walter, why don't you make a deck of cards right here and now?"

For Walter, creating a deck of cards with his abilities would take less than a second.

A flash of yellow light appeared in his hand, and a brand new deck of cards appeared, with even the outer packaging being identical.

Seeing this, Dan Lei continued to laugh.

"Miss Himeko, please remove the Jokers after breaking up the cards, then arrange the cards neatly, and finally lay them out face down on the table."

Himeko actually knew that Danlei was most likely going to trick Xing here.

But Xing's habit of rummaging through the trash cans also gave her a headache, so she was happy to cooperate with Danlei.

After Himeko laid out her cards, Danlei and Xing raised their hands and spoke.

"Swear an oath to the covenant."

As for playing cards, sorry, Danlei hasn't studied this stuff, nor does he have the gaming acumen of the original story's Blank siblings.

Danlei's only option is to cheat.

With a simple scan of these ordinary playing cards, Danlei can tell what number is underneath each card.

However, the Starry Sky Train crew had no idea how to sense magic.

This is the first lesson Danlei wants to teach the Starry Sky Train crew.

This world is a world of magic. Although imaginary energy is more advanced, it is far less convenient and practical than magic for some minor actions.

As the chosen one of the Star Iron Universe, Xing was not endowed with strong luck attributes.

Or rather, while she was quite lucky, she wasn't lucky enough to have good things happen to her without her having to leave the house—she was incredibly lucky.

Star's skill level in gacha games is average; some are lucky, some are unlucky.

When I was lucky, I got two gold items in ten pulls, and the weapon was a perfect hit on the first try.

In unlucky situations, check out the six-pull guarantee for characters and weapons.

So, the first card drawn by Star was a Queen, which is not bad.

But Danlei drew a King in his hand, making him a level above her.

Seeing this, Xing drew an Ace based on his intuition.

But Danlei just casually drew an Ace.

My last draw with Star was a complete disaster; I only got 5.

Danlei, on the other hand, drew a 6, which is a higher tier.

It's fair to say that Dan Lei wasn't acting at all; he was practically telling Xing openly that he cheated.

Xing reacted quickly, immediately shouting in accordance with Article 8 of the Covenant.
“You cheated!!”

Dan Lei remained calm and composed in response.
"Xing, to question whether your opponent is cheating, you need to at least explain where they cheated and what methods they used to make it effective."

You're accusing me of cheating? How did I cheat?

Xing was stumped by Danlei's question. She knew Danlei was cheating, but she couldn't explain his cheating method.

So Dan Lei said with a smile
"Since you can't tell me where I cheated, then the game is over, I win."

"Xing, you can try flipping over the trash cans in the scenic van and see how it goes."

Upon hearing this, Xing immediately walked towards the trash can, skillfully opened the lid, and prepared to search for any treasures that might be inside.

However, just as Xing opened the trash can lid and before she could even reach down, she suddenly lost control and left the trash can, taking two steps before regaining control of her body.

Next, she tried several times, using various methods, but the result was the same.

She can open the trash can and throw things in it.

But whenever she tries to rummage through the contents, as long as she does so with that purpose, even if she intends to throw something, knock over the trash can, and then search the ground, she inexplicably stops herself from doing so.

So, after realizing that she could no longer rummage through the trash can, Xing turned pale and sat on the sofa looking utterly hopeless.

Seeing that the star had been sunk, Dan Lei immediately addressed everyone.
"Alright, everyone, please make sure to write down what I am about to say."

This planet has magic, the kind of magic you see in novels, anime, and games.

You can think of magic as a kind of life energy that exists in the atmosphere of a planet, something that is very rare in most worlds.

But this planet is different. Because it contains terrifying energy and is an immortal creation, its magic permeates the entire globe.

Therefore, in games and competitions, using magic to cheat is a basic tactic for races with high magic adaptability.

I just used magic to scan all the playing cards and knew the suits underneath, which made it easy for me to win the star.

Upon hearing this, Xing instantly revived and jumped up to accuse him.

"Danlei! You admitted to cheating! Great! I won!!"

However, Danlei immediately poured cold water on her enthusiasm and said...

"It's useless. Even if you find evidence of my cheating after the game is over, it still won't affect your loss."

Look at the Covenant; to increase fun and competitiveness, this world actually encourages cheating.

Therefore, there is no such thing as retroactively tracing back to previous cheating.

Moreover, in this world, [Aha] has opened up all its power.

In other words, if your strength doesn't reach the level of [Aha], you won't be able to defy its rules.

However, once you leave the galaxy, all rules become invalid, so you don't need to worry about taking the constraints outside.

Please remember that in this world, bets can be refused, and if you are provoked, you can choose how to play the game.

Therefore, you can simply refuse bets that you cannot accept.

Even if you can't restrict someone's freedom, if the bet says that if you lose, you have to fall in love with the other person, you will actually fall in love with them without even realizing it.

Even if I could use my divine authority to help you break the bet.

But I can't guarantee what you'll lose before I get there.

In short, on this planet, if you don't court death, you won't die. Please remember that.

After Danlei's demonstration, the train crew members are now aware of the planet's unique characteristics.

Danlei wasn't lying; this planet is absolutely safe. Moreover, as the sole god, exploring the world and establishing communication with local forces will be incredibly easy for Danlei.

Of course, courting death is a special case. No matter how safe a place is, it won't stop someone who courts death.

Just as Danlei was demonstrating the rules of the world, Pam had already taken control of the train and, guided by the dragon, arrived above Avalon City and stopped in the sky at the pseudo-planetary fortress.

As soon as Dan Lei got off the train, he saw Morgan and the high-ranking officials of what is now called the Court of Justice waiting for him.

Upon seeing Danley, everyone except Morgan bowed at least 45 degrees to show respect.

Upon seeing Morgan, Dan Lei quickly went to greet him, smiling and saying...
"Morgan, I'm back."

Morgan replied with a gentle smile.

"Welcome home. By the way, you're back much earlier than I expected."

In response to this question, Dan Lei asked those around him to stand up first.

"Things went smoothly, so I came back early."

Dan Lei and Morgan exchanged glances, which the train crew behind them could see clearly.

So March 7th couldn't help but complain.

"My God, Dan Lei has a third girlfriend besides Ms. Ruan Mei and Ms. Hei Ta (when the Fei Xiao husband-stealing incident occurred, the train crew was in Yali Luo VI). He's really bold."

Uncle Yang, Danheng, do all men hope to have multiple female partners?

The question of March 7th really embarrassed Walter and Dan Hengwen.

At that moment, Walter thought of a certain red-haired, hot-tempered older sister far away on Earth, and answered from the bottom of his heart.

"It varies from person to person."

Dan Heng simply chose to remain silent and not answer.

Although he inherited most of Danfeng's memories, Danfeng had no romantic experience to share.

What kind of love is a crush? That's just unrequited love.

However, the whispers on March 7th sent a chill down Dan Lei's spine.

She had told Morgan that she had a girlfriend before her, but just because Morgan accepted it didn't mean she wasn't jealous.

When a queen-like figure like this gets jealous... Danlei himself will have to experience the thrill of jealousy.

Therefore, Danlei quickly introduced the two parties, interrupting March 7th's discussion about men and women.

As guests brought back by Dan Lei, the Starry Sky Train crew was naturally treated with the proper hospitality by Morgan.

After the introduction, the train crew members felt that Morgan was a bit cold, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with her.

This time, the mission involves exploring an entire planet, and there's no need to worry about dangers like locals attacking the train.

Therefore, no one was left on the Starry Sky Train this time, except for Pam, who was unable to get off.

After the welcome dinner, and after taking the Star Train to the rest area in the castle, Dan Lei didn't rush to get intimate with Morgan, but instead did something else first.

That is to use the power of their one and only god to directly teleport to the moon to install long-range remote sensing, and to ask the Moonsingers to protect this facility.

The long-range remote sensing system that Dan Lei has was secretly purchased by Toppa when he was in Luofu.

The items were mixed in with parts of the Starry Sky Train and repair materials for the Flowing Cloud Ferry and transported to Luofu in batches.

The reason for doing this is that Danlei cannot let Jingyuan know that he has bought long-range remote sensing equipment.

With his intelligence, knowing that Danlei was buying long-range remote sensing equipment, he would immediately realize that Danlei was about to leave Luofu to cause trouble.

Since Dan Lei has no need for long-range remote sensing in Luofu, even if he wanted to install an extra one, he could just use the account from the Chiming Clan.

Dan Lei installed long-range remote sensing at the Chiming garrison, and Jing Yuan said that as the Luofu General, he could only offer suggestions at most.

Ultra-long-range remote sensing, an invention of Elijah Salas, the 56th member and second president of the Genius Club, instantly connected to the interstellar peace network even after Avalon had completed the laying of its galactic orbit.

Although the distance is so great that the data transmission speed is comparable to 2G signals on Earth at the end of the 20th century.

However, having a signal is enough; Danlei has a genius backing him up.

Using this signal, Danlei sent a text message to Black Tower.

"Black Tower, help strengthen the signal."

Black Tower knew that Dan Lei had followed the Star Train to the outer wall of the Amber King to connect to the Trial Planet.

So after receiving the message and locating Danlei's position, she replied directly.

"The distance is too far; a specially designed enhanced long-range remote sensing program will take two days to complete."

At that time, the speed of one-way transmission to you will reach the standard speed of long-distance remote sensing.

Then it will take five days to transfer the entire program to you. You can then overwrite the original program and the communication problem will be solved.

"By the way, you guys did a great job this time. This is the first time I've seen Interstellar Peace Corporation so overwhelmed."

Because Heita typed so much, Danlei didn't receive the message for a good ten minutes.

Since the Black Tower had a solution, Dan Lei naturally followed the arrangement and prepared to wait a week before fully connecting to the Interstellar Peace Network.

However, Dan Lei didn't expect that just as he was about to go back, Yu Zhao suddenly rang; it was Jing Yuan calling.

You should know that the signal here has just been connected to the interstellar peace network, and the alliance's Yellow Bell system can already locate it?

Dan Lei answered the call immediately, and Jing Yuan's voice, tinged with anger, rang out.

"Danlei! Where have you gone!"
The Star Train once again explored the universe by passing through the subspace crystal wall, but news of its continuous attacks by the Amber King had already spread. You were on it at the time, weren't you?

No! You're the mastermind behind this!

Dan Lei didn't hide anything here, because there were some things he was already prepared to confront the Immortal Boat Alliance about, so he spoke directly.

"Of course, it was I who instigated the Star Train to pass through the sub-space crystal wall."

Because I have a planet that needs to be connected to the Silver Rail by the Star Train.

However, Amber King didn't attack the Star Train; it fought with [Aha].

Because [Aha] helped the Star Train break through the sub-space crystal wall.

Why is it that at such a long distance, the synesthetic beacon moves at a snail's pace, while the sympathetic system is completely unaffected?

In response to this question, Jing Yuan immediately said with a hint of pride.
"The synesthetic beacon reproduced by the Academy of Knowledge is not as good as the prototype of Elijah Salas."

To facilitate commercialization, Interstellar Peace Corporation also removed some rare materials that were difficult to synthesize and replaced them with second-tier materials.

How can that thing compare to our Huangzhong system?

Moreover, the Immortal Ship can use the energy of the Journey of Destiny indefinitely, and there is currently no force in the universe that can compare with us in terms of energy reserves.

The problem of ultra-long-distance communication can be solved by increasing energy density.

Jing Yuan's words clearly implied a desire to demonstrate the strength of the Immortal Ship. He probably sensed something from Dan Lei's statement that he possessed a planet.

However, Dan Lei did not refute Jing Yuan's claim that his planet also had infinitely open energy from the Star God.

Because Danlei never intended to leave the Immortal Boat Alliance and become independent, only a fool would leave such a good backer as the Immortal Boat Alliance.

Therefore, Dan Lei directly transmitted the data about Avalon to Jing Yuan through Huang Zhong and said...
"Alright, stop bragging. You act like I know nothing about the Immortal Boat Alliance. I can read all the secret scrolls of Luofu Chiming."

I sent you information about the planet I have.

"You help me upload the alliance information. I think, with the planets I have, I should be able to apply to initiate a temporary generals' meeting involving all the Dragon Lords."

After Dan Lei finished speaking, Jing Yuanyu received a brief introduction to Avalon from Dan Lei.

Then, Jing Yuan glanced at the beginning, his tone suddenly becoming somewhat tired, and said...

"Dan Lei, if you had told me a minute earlier that the planet you have is like this, I would have immediately abdicated in favor of Fu Xuan."

Honestly, Danlei, I want to retire now.
