Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Someone will come to clean up later; your task for today is finished."

"?"

"That's it?" March 7th tilted her head, pinching her pink hair, and said shyly:

"Just standing around and getting a thousand dollars a day... I feel like I'm living in a dream."

“That’s right, you’re living in a dream.” The old man frowned. “What I paid you before was a month’s salary, not a day’s salary.”

"?"

March 7th's cherry lips parted slightly, "No, a thousand credits a month, are you trying to feed a beggar?"

"I spent almost several hundred credits just on a grilled sausage at Origami University."

"What origami university?" the old man asked, puzzled.

"Look at where you are. In the outer city, many people struggle to even accumulate 500 credits in their entire lives."

"Alright, let's call it a day. Remember to come back on time tomorrow."

"Take this."

After saying that, the old man handed a walkie-talkie to Yan Huan and San Yueqi.

"Mobile phones are no longer usable on this planet. I will use a walkie-talkie to contact you in case of emergency."

Yan Huan spoke only after the old man left.

"Where is Yinzhi? Where is he now?"

“I don’t know,” March 7th shook his head. “Pepe said she wanted to go for a walk, and then we got separated.”

"How could they get separated? His Xishi Nannian is so big, you could see it from a distance!"

"But the spaceship is gone."

"?"

In response to Yan Huan's confusion, March 7th explained:

"He stayed there for too long and was identified as an outlaw by the planet's officials. His spaceship was towed away for inspection."

"You can give that?!"

Yan Huan's eyes widened.

The Xishi Nannian is more than just a shelter; it also stores a large amount of supplies.

Without those supplies, what difference is there between Silver Branch surviving on this planet and surviving on a desert island?

"Wait, what did you eat earlier?" Yan Huan suddenly asked.

“Boxed lunches…” March 7th replied, “They’re sold by passing caravans. You get a kick from eating them.”

"Do you think I've been eating other people's leftovers?"

"I think what you ate was probably even more stimulating than leftovers," Yan Huan said, somewhat speechless.

"Never mind, let's go see what my uncle is doing first."

Yan Huan had already noticed Ren's appearance among the refugees, but she didn't acknowledge him on the spot.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have suffered a lot.

March 7th pushed a wheelchair, in which sat Yan Huan, whose hand held a small golden chain pointing in a direction.

In the dim light of night, the two sped through the stench-filled streets.

Few houses here have electric lights, the streets are dark, and the ground is often wet with dirty water. Stepping on it will splash water all over your shoes.

"Hey~~"

Chapter 1287 What Hell Is This

The smells here are a bit mixed.

To improve visibility, on March 7th, Yan Huan made a temporary lantern out of flame.

Under the glow of the red flames, the situation in the alley gradually became clear.

On March 7th, a rotten wall nearby was found to have a very strong odor, mixed with a smell of burning urine.

It was unclear whether the excrement was human or dog's, but it lay there quietly.

It's hard to imagine what kind of filth might be hidden in the foul-smelling water stains on the ground.

"I'd like to change my shoes," March 7 said, barely suppressing her nausea.

"It'll still be dirty even if you change it." Yan Huan lay in her wheelchair like an old man, her voice languid:

"Young people need to endure some hardship; just bear with it and it will pass..."

"Look, I'm here too, and I haven't complained at all. Hmph... So you see..."

"..." March 7th's gaze shifted slightly downwards, and he saw that Yan Huan's feet were placed on the wheelchair guardrail.

"If you keep bothering me, I'll throw you down here."

"emmmmm..."

Along the way, the dilapidated houses around them were all silent. If it weren't for the faint light from the candles inside, March 7 would have thought they were all mute.

Following the directions, the two eventually arrived at a factory that was extremely noisy.

"?"

"What the hell is this place?"

"Do we want to go in?" March 7th felt that the noise around her was unbearable.

"Since we're already here, we should at least take a look."

At Yan Huan's insistence, March 7th pushed him into the factory.

The knocking and banging sounds were extremely noisy, like a baptism for the eardrums.

"Stop right there, what are you doing?"

The security guard-looking man quickly stood up and blocked Yan Huan and March 7's path.

"Uh, we're family members," March 7th said awkwardly, pushing his wheelchair onto the rusty floor.

"It's very late now, we want to pick people up and take them home."

"Go home? Are you kidding me..." The security guard scrutinized the two men's appearances and frowned slightly.

"Wait, judging from your clothes, you shouldn't be from outside the city, right? Could you be from higher up who's here for an inspection?"

"Hmph~ You caught me." Seeing that the other party thought highly of her, March 7 quickly flicked her hair.

"If you know what's good for you, let us in now, or else..."

'boom--'

The two were kicked out of the door, and even from a distance, they could hear the security guard cursing, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"..."

March 7 blinked, looking quite surprised.

"Damn it, how were we discovered?"

“I have an idea.” Yan Huan turned to look at her. “How about… we put on that red robe?”

……

A few minutes later.

"Where did you pick up these tattered clothes from!" The security guard gave the two men the middle finger.

After being insulted again, March 7th finally snapped, "What? It's just a factory! What's wrong with letting people in?! Are they making silicone dolls inside?!"

The security guards ignored him and let March 7th continue his tirade.

"..."

"What do we do now?" March 7th asked Yan Huan.

“Your second uncle is still inside. If we can’t get in, our trip will have been for nothing.”

“Young people are just so impatient,” Yan Huan smiled, then took out her phone.

“In a place like this, not leaving get off work so late at night definitely violates the work system of limited hours.”

"If we just report it, we can sneak in when the guards arrive, right?"

"What you said makes sense."

Yan Huan opened the dialer page, then paused in surprise.

"..."

"Which numbers should I press?"

"Why don't you search it online?" March 7th reminded him.

Yan Huan nodded, then opened the browser, and stared at the small magnifying glass in the search bar, stunned again.

"What should I search for? What's the name of this planet? What's the name of this city?"

"..." March 7th's eyes widened.

"Brother, you dare to scout this place without even knowing where it is?!"

“Yao Ni Gua!” Yan Huan then opened her social media app and glanced at the top right corner of her phone.

"Damn, there really is no signal. I give up..."

"It's just a factory, let's climb over the wall and get in."

For Wumingke, who had traveled all over the country, nothing was unfamiliar, and climbing over walls was nothing new to him...

"Hey, that's a good idea." March 7th agreed wholeheartedly.
