The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 71 The Genius Hacker's Ether Editing

Meng Huaifeng asked a question, his imaginary energy rapidly consuming as he searched the surrounding world for information related to the star core.

His Heavenly Inquiry Technique did not obtain answers directly from the universe or from the Venerable Master Boshi; it was not so heaven-defying. Instead, he regarded the planet beneath his feet as a server, and the answers he obtained were limited to the information that had occurred on this planet. From the perspective of the universe, this answer might not even be correct.

Of course, as he becomes stronger, the scope of this server will also expand, becoming a small galaxy, a large galaxy, or even the Milky Way and the universe.

Meng Huaifeng suddenly frowned. The rift was emitting all sorts of chaotic and false information, constantly interfering with his search, and the consumption of imaginary energy increased dramatically.

……

Five kilometers away on a snow-covered mountain, a virtual image wearing a purple short jacket and a silver ponytail is playing a game with nothing to do; it is none other than the Star Core Hunter Silver Wolf.

"According to the new script Elio gave this morning, at 11:23:45 in the system time, stop the newly joined male passenger from doing what he's doing. Hmm, there are still ten minutes left, I can start another game," Silver Wolf muttered.

"Da da da~"

In the tense and exciting shooting game, a pop-up window suddenly appeared at the top of the screen. Silver Wolf didn't have time to react and clicked on it. By the time she hurriedly switched back to the game, her game interface had turned gray.

"Damn it! Didn't I turn off the pop-up function of various software? Why is it popping up again?" Silver Wolf said angrily.

She glanced at the pop-up and intended to uninstall the software that had it, but after accidentally scanning the title, Silver Wolf couldn't help but become a little interested.

Is this Ah Xing's journey to explore a new world? I'd like to see.

Two minutes later, Silver Wolf uninstalled the video software expressionlessly, then pursed his lips and started typing on the virtual keyboard, his fingers leaving afterimages.

She wants to delete this awful video!
five minutes.

Six minutes.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Silver Wolf's forehead. Damn it, why can't I delete it? Could it be that some genius has made a move?

It's just a prank video, is it really worth a genius personally taking action?
Of all the geniuses who have committed crimes recently, there's probably only one who's this petty.

Black Tower, I'll remember you. Once I finish this script, I'll go to your Black Tower space station and cause trouble!
"Wolf, what are you doing? Time's almost up." A gentle, mature voice rang in Silver Wolf's ear.

"It's nothing, I know." Silver Wolf put away the virtual keyboard and turned his gaze to the pioneering team in the distance.

"I really don't know what tricks that new passenger has up his sleeve that require you, a genius hacker, to defend him single-handedly the whole time," Kafka's voice continued in Silver Wolf's ear.

"You'll know soon enough."

"Good luck, Wolf Lord!"

"Uh-huh?"

Silver Wolf felt a chill run straight to his bones, then spread throughout his limbs and body, and all the hairs on his body stood on end. The unprecedented sense of death left Silver Wolf momentarily at a loss and in a daze.

"Time's up." Kafka gently nudged the silver wolf.

The phantom of the silver wolf staggered, barely suppressing the embarrassment of its toes digging into the ground. It pulled down its glasses and put on a cold face, pretending to be engrossed in the mission.

In Silver Wolf's eyes, the real world seemed to transform into a digital world, with countless streams of data flowing before him.

Silver Wolf's forte, Ether Editing, allows him to manipulate reality, while Meng Huaifeng's Heavenly Questioning Technique relies on obtaining answers from the real world. Silver Wolf looked in the direction of the pioneering team and saw countless data streams emanating from the new passenger named Meng Huaifeng. Silver Wolf immediately deciphered the information in these data streams.

Are you trying to find the location of the star's core directly?
This is not possible!

Without having contact with the indigenous people and without gaining a deep understanding of their resistance and suffering, how could Ah-Xing possibly comprehend their will to preserve them?
Silver Wolf manipulated the data stream to precisely intercept all the data streams emitted by Meng Huaifeng, without missing a single one.

Meng Huaifeng frowned even more deeply. Previously, he could still filter out the chaotic information from the rift, but now there was no progress at all, and even the feedback had disappeared.

Could that star core also absorb hidden data?
It's not impossible for a star core to be able to create shadows of memories.

Meng Huaifeng had no other choice but to increase the search speed, which further accelerated the consumption of imaginary energy.

"Hmm? Just increased the number of data streams? That's incredibly low-tech. I see, it's just a newbie showing off with a standard software template. It's a waste of my talent to have a genius hacker like me deal with him."

"However, apart from me, no one else among the Star Core Hunters can stop you."

Silver Wolf immediately saw through Meng Huaifeng's true nature and decided to let this newbie experience the care of a senior.

So Silver Wolf stopped simply intercepting the data stream and instead edited some false information to send back to Meng Huaifeng.

Meng Huaifeng's expression gradually relaxed as he regained the information; he should be able to obtain the exact location of the star core soon.

"Hmm, is his imaginary energy almost exhausted? Then this game should end." Silver Wolf issued his final ultimatum.

Finally, we succeeded.

Meng Huaifeng opened his eyes, his face pale. He hadn't expected that searching for the star core using the Heavenly Inquiry Technique would be so difficult.

The moment the Heavenly Question Technique ended, Xing's expression suddenly froze, and she asked absentmindedly, "Birds...why can they fly?"

"???" Walter looked at Xing suddenly, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Xing's expression suddenly became impassioned: "Because they must fly to the heavens, otherwise they cannot escape their predetermined demise!"

Walter's hand, gripping his cane, was bulging with veins, clearly indicating that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

"Ah Xing, why are you suddenly bringing this up?" March 7 asked, puzzled.

Xing returned to normal, scratched his head, and said, "I don't know. These words just popped into my head, and I thought they were cool, so I said them."

"Uncle Yang, why are you looking at me like that? You don't want to hit me, do you?" Xing keenly sensed the pressure emanating from Walter and took a step back, asking warily.

"Cough cough, no, how could that be?" Walter coughed a few times, his terrifying aura gradually subsiding, and he looked at Meng Huaifeng with a slightly unfriendly gaze: "Is this what is called forbidden knowledge?"

"That was all Ahha's doing, don't ask me, I don't know," Meng Huaifeng hurriedly shifted the blame.

This isn't taboo knowledge at all; it's clearly a little secret that will make people faint.

"Doesn't it feel like anything? Never mind, so where is the Star Core?" March 7 asked impatiently.

"Get ready to go. I'm going to give the Star Core a good whack. As something like the Star Core inside me, it's doing all sorts of bad things. It's a disgrace to the Star Core!" Star exclaimed excitedly.
