Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

One fellow card player complained, "Your words are not a consolation at all; they're just an added blow."

"And it has a kind of 'torture' feel to it," another person chimed in.

"You guys really know how to make connections," Fang Rui retorted.

Chapter 538 Exchange of Information

"Let's talk about something else..."

Considering the girl's anger level, the group stopped discussing the matter and changed the subject.

"How long do you think this chaos will last?"

As a new game of cards began, one of the players asked, his gaze fixed on a young woman, "Qingque, you work at the Taibu Si, do you have any inside information?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui and Fu Hua raised their eyebrows slightly. They already had a basic understanding of the Immortal Ship. The so-called Taibu Division was one of the important departments of the Immortal Ship.

"I'm just an ordinary fortune teller, where would I get inside information?"

The girl, known as Qingque, explained casually, "If it were important news, how could I possibly know it?"

“That’s true.” The others nodded in agreement. In their eyes, Qingque was an ordinary diviner who was keen on slacking off, so it was normal that he didn’t know important information.

Fang Rui was focused on another matter. Currently, the official departments of the Immortal Ship and the hidden, abundant forces were at an impasse. The Grand Diviner should be very busy, but why…?

Would there be a fortune teller who's free? Or even in the mood to play cards?

A series of questions arose, and Fu Hua was equally curious, but she didn't think of the worst-case scenario; instead, she thought of the best-case scenario, such as being on duty outside...

The two didn't ask any questions. Qingque didn't have mind-reading abilities, so naturally she couldn't know what the two were thinking and continued to play cards with great interest.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the fairy boat.

Walter's team has met with the general of the Immortal Ship Luofu. After exchanging pleasantries with him, they received the mission to assist the Immortal Ship Luofu in overcoming its difficulties.

As the general of the Immortal Ship, Jing Yuan knew the current predicament of the Immortal Ship Luofu. The problems that had already surfaced were easy to solve, but the problems that were still hidden in the shadows were the more important issues.

Therefore, he commissioned the people from the Starry Sky Train to conduct an investigation. As outsiders, they had an advantage on the Immortal Ship: very few people knew them.

They have an advantage when dealing with official forces outside of the Immortal Ship, and the people of the Star Train are trustworthy. This is partly due to the reputation accumulated by the Star Train after its restart, and partly due to the "pioneering" Star God's style of doing things...

Perhaps it is due to fate, but as a pioneer, one will provide assistance to the best of one's ability and leans towards the camp of Order and Good, so Jingyuan is willing to believe.

Furthermore, the fact that the Immortal Ship is a top-tier force in interstellar space is not just empty boasting.

Based on the information currently available, Walter and his companions began searching for the Star Core Hunters hidden within the Celestial Ship.

To be fair, Walter hadn't expected the Star Core Hunters to infiltrate the Celestial Ship and expose their existence.

Given the Star Core Hunter's strength, infiltrating the Immortal Ship silently should have been possible, but the other party revealed themselves, allowing the official forces of the Immortal Ship to discover their presence, which is almost like...

"on purpose."

Walter frowned and thought for a moment. Whatever the Star Core Hunter's reasons for doing this, they had no other choice but to follow the Star Core Hunter's plan until they caught him, or until he completed his plan...

"Uncle Yang, should we tell Danheng?"

March 7th thought it was necessary to inform Dan Heng and the others about the news of the Star Core Hunter on the Immortal Ship. Otherwise, if Dan Heng and the others were not on guard, and the Star Core Hunter had malicious intentions, it would be a very serious problem.

"Of course we should talk about it, and we can also exchange information."

In the Star Train group chat...

Walter: "We have met with the general of the Immortal Ship Luofu. Jing Yuan has entrusted us to capture the Star Core Hunters on the Immortal Ship. There are two of them in total, one is Kafka and the other is Ren. As for whether there is a third one, we cannot confirm for the time being."

Walter: "Besides this, there might be more than one force that has stirred up chaos on the Immortal Ship this time..."

Danheng: "Received."

Hiluva: "Received."

Himeko: "Be careful."

Fang Rui: "The Star Core Hunters must have some kind of purpose, otherwise they wouldn't have risked coming to the Immortal Ship, but..."

Fang Rui: "I haven't figured out what the purpose would be for taking such action."

Fang Rui: "By the way, I wandered around Xianzhou for a while and didn't see many people who were in a panic. The people of Xianzhou trust the official organization a lot."

'After all, they are a top-tier power in the interstellar realm, especially since the generals of the Immortal Ship are all hunting envoys, and none of the Star God envoys are weak.'

Thinking this to himself, Walter asked, "Do you know anything about the forces that have stirred up this chaos?"

Fang Rui: "When I was strolling around Changletian, I saw a few suspicious people. I don't know if they are members of a troublemaking organization, but they are definitely related to Fengrao. You can consider investigating them."

Dan Heng: "I happen to be in Changletian. Where did you discover the problematic person?"

Fang Rui: "If you're alone, don't act rashly. I've discovered quite a few suspicious people; it should be a base."

Looking at the text on the communication interface, March 7 was very surprised, "Amazing, they've actually found the enemy's base."

"As expected of Fang Rui, he's really reliable." Xing sincerely praised him. From the moment he met Fang Rui, he could feel Fang Rui's reliability.

Walter: "What do you mean by acting alone? You weren't together?"

Hiluva: "No, I'm at the music store. The instruments at Xianzhou are very interesting."

Dan Heng: "I'm at the bookstore, Sanyu Bookstore in Changletian."

Fang Rui: "I was previously at Sanyu Bookstore, and now I'm watching people play cards at 'Buyehou' in the central hub of Xingchahai."

Upon hearing Fang Rui's speech, March 7 immediately raised an eyebrow. There was a waiting period between the three of them arriving at the central hub of Xingchahai and the officials of Sichen Palace agreeing to meet. Instead of waiting in front of Sichen Palace, March 7 wandered around for a while during the waiting time.

"Hmm? If I remember correctly, 'The Lord of Never Sleeps' should be a teahouse!"

Fang Rui replied, "It is indeed a teahouse, but there is no rule prohibiting playing cards in teahouses."

"What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless," March 7 replied helplessly.

“Since you’re so close, do you want to join our operation? With your abilities, you should be able to keep it a secret from the others,” Walter said.

Fang Rui, who was watching the card game, saw the text message Walter sent and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is there something you're worried about? You actually invited me to join you?"

Walter's strength is quite formidable. Back at the Black Tower Space Station, the astral-level bio-weapon Doomsday Beast was mentioned by March 7th and others as someone who could handle it...

In other words, even if Walter Yang's strength did not reach the level of a Commander, it was still extremely formidable.

The fact that he could even ask for help suggests that the situation on the Immortal Ship is truly chaotic.

"Are you worried that the Star Core Hunters might be lying in ambush?"

Fang Rui didn't make wild guesses, but asked directly, since it wasn't something he couldn't say.

"In addition to that, we are also worried about the sudden appearance of other forces."

Walter explained simply, "The door to the Immortal Ship was not opened by the people of the Immortal Ship, but by outsiders."

"I would feel more at ease if it were a Star Core Hunter, but I'm worried that the person who opens the door might not be a Star Core Hunter, but some other force."

"If my guess is correct, then those who know we've entered the Immortal Ship are not only the official forces of the Immortal Ship, but also organizations that are secretly causing trouble."

"It sounds complicated, and thinking about it is a bit of a hassle, so I refuse to think about it. As for what you said, I agree."

Fang Rui typed back, "I will send people to follow you, so don't worry about being ambushed."

"Wait? What's with sending people?!" Upon seeing Fang Rui's reply, Walter first breathed a sigh of relief, but then that sigh of relief quickly returned.

"Literally, I found a few helpers," Fang Rui replied simply.

The others were all puzzled upon hearing this. What exactly did you do during the time you were separated from us?!

Not only did they find the intelligence, they even found their subordinates?!

What kind of efficiency is this?! It's outrageous!

"Is it believable?" Walter asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, he's trustworthy. He's someone I knew before, and he just happens to be on Xianzhou."

Fang Rui made up an excuse, his gaze falling on Fu Hua. It wasn't good to leave the stealth follower task to Fu Hua; a direct assault would be much more suitable. Therefore, Fang Rui decided…

The power of reason—show your strength!

The Lawgiver of Truth possesses the power of my imagination and can create technological items through imagination. As for the missing parts, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers will probably fill them in.

A special robot appeared out of thin air in a shadowy corner next to the teahouse. No one noticed its presence. After it became fully visible, its surface shimmered with brilliant light, and its form gradually disappeared until it was completely invisible.

'Go to the plaza in front of the Palace of the Gods, find Walter and the others, and secretly protect them. If you spot anyone following Walter and the others, capture them immediately.'

Upon receiving Fang Rui's instruction, a string of data flashed in the robot's electronic eye.

"Command received. Exploration robot VI to proceed with the mission."

As it spoke, Robot VI had already left the vicinity of the teahouse, moving at an extremely high speed, appearing to passersby on the street as if it were a sudden gust of wind.

One minute later, in the square in front of the Sichen Palace, Walter received a message from Fang Rui informing him that the bodyguards were in place.

After reading the message, Walter looked up and around, but saw nothing unfamiliar or strange.

Is it stealth, or just very well disguised?

Walter, who was guessing in his heart, didn't say it aloud. He told March 7 and Xing, and the three of them set off.

During their journey to the rendezvous point, March 7 and the others continued chatting, using communicators to talk to Fang Rui and the others.

“What do you think about reporting Chang Letian’s hideout directly? Regardless of whether it’s the organization behind the scenes or not, it’s an organization to which the Fengrao believers belong, so there’s nothing wrong with reporting it.”

After all, there are no private organizations on the Immortal Ship. Even if not all Destiny Walkers are in the official organization, they are at least on record, especially those related to abundance.

The Immortal Ship has no Abundant Believers, only Abundant Fate Walkers; the two are quite distinct and not the same thing.

Therefore, if you report a believer of abundance in the Immortal Boat, even if you don't expect to be correct every time you report one, there's a 80-90% chance of it happening.

Dan Heng expressed his support for Fang Rui's suggestion, saying, "I agree with what you said, but there's a problem: how do I report it?"

"...What if we happen to come across a gathering of the bountiful believers?" Hiluva suggested.

“I think it’s suitable,” March 7th interjected.

“Leaving it to luck is a good approach,” Walter agreed.

"Won't reporting this affect Danheng?" Xing asked with some concern.

"It's possible. If Danheng finds out that the official personnel happen to be undercover agents of the enemy forces, then he will be in danger."

Fang Rui analyzed the situation, "Given the current state of the Immortal Ship, it's impossible for the official organization not to have spies among the followers of Abundance. It just depends on how many spies there are and what their highest positions are."
