Create a game called "Collapse Iron," where the entire universe is the player.

In this part of the story, the three-person team continues to venture deeper into the dock area.

Before they could even see anyone, they heard an anxious cry from ahead: "Miss Tingyun, please step back! They... they have fallen into the demonic body 'Eternal Sickness,' and are no longer our comrades..."

When they rushed over, they saw a group of ferocious demonic soldiers surrounding a fox-woman with a pale face who was clearly frightened.

The woman had pointed ears, and a large tail behind her swayed restlessly.

She looked up and saw the three train crew members who had come to help, and her eyes lit up immediately.

Tingyun, as if grasping at a lifeline, said in a slightly coquettish yet urgent voice, "Hey! You guys over there! Don't just stand there watching, come and help me out!"

With Walter in charge and Xing and March 7th assisting from the side, dealing with these demonic spirits shouldn't be too difficult.

With the crisis averted, a Cloud Cavalry soldier stepped forward: "Miss Tingyun, although the demonic entity here has been defeated, there may still be danger nearby. Please return to the Heavenly Ship Bureau with us as soon as possible."

Tingyun waved her hand, her tone returning to its usual composure, with a hint of playfulness: "Oh, I know, I know, what's the rush? I haven't properly thanked these benefactors who saved me yet, it would be so impolite to leave like this~"

She turned around and walked lightly to the three members of the train crew. She gave a slight bow, her posture elegant: "This humble woman is Tingyun, the ferrywoman from the Luofu Tianbo Merchant Guild. May I ask your honorable names, esteemed gentlemen?"

The comments section was instantly captivated by the fox again:

"Is this the demonic form? It looks terrifying..."

"Immortality really does come at a price, huh?"

"Tingyun! It's Tingyun the little fox! I've finally met her! She's so beautiful!"

"(Making a sound like a dog) I am Tingyun's dog!"

"The Fox of Preservation truly lives up to its name!"

"That 'benefactor' call...it made my bones melt!"

……

Meanwhile, in Nguyen Mai's laboratory.

Another Tingyun—or rather, the one who had just been "restored," still in four-star form but bewilderedly dressed in five-star clothes—was looking at the phone that Ruan Mei handed him with a confused expression.

The screen was showing Gui Naifen's live stream, in which a charming fox-woman had the exact same face as her.

Ruan Mei's voice was calm and even: "Lin Lin wants you to read more of these plots. That way, when he takes you back in the future, you won't be too embarrassed because you don't remember anything."

Tingyun blinked, even more puzzled: "Lin Lin? Plot?"

She had absolutely no idea what was going on.

Nguyen Mai didn't explain further, but simply gestured for her to continue watching.

At this moment, the laboratory is occupied by Tingyun, with only a fluffy fox tail behind her.

It can only be said that the Horse Talisman truly lives up to its name; its abilities are far too overpowered. It managed to purify and remove the destructive power entangled within her body.

Lin Lin also specifically instructed Ruan Mei not to make any random modifications, but to keep the original little fox. He even jokingly called Ruan Mei "Bengtie Orochimaru".

She had absolutely no idea what the title meant.

Tingyun watched Ruan Mei's slender figure as she left, her heart filled with gratitude and respect.

Once her benefactor was out of sight, she turned her attention back to her phone screen, looking at the vivid and lifelike "herself," and murmured to herself, "Is that me?"

……

The scene then returns to Liuyun Ferry.

When Tingyun asked March 7th such a formal question, he felt a little embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. "'Your name' and all that is too polite! My name is March 7th, and this is Uncle Yang... oh no, Mr. Walter Yang. And this is—"

Xing immediately puffed out his chest, and before March 7th could, struck what he thought was a cool hands-on-hips pose, and declared in a booming voice: "I am... Galaxy Baseball Man!"

Tingyun was visibly taken aback for a moment, but her good manners allowed her to quickly regain her composure and smile as she continued the conversation, "Oh... Batman. What a magnificent name."

March 7th quickly covered her face, pulled Xing aside, and explained to Tingyun, "Ignore her, her name is Xing! This girl always has to come up with something new for her self-introductions, she's never serious!"

Xing, still unconvinced, leaned close to March 7's ear and whispered, "I'm just being prepared! If we get wanted again, wouldn't it be safer to use a fake name..."

Upon hearing this, March 7th's eyes widened even more, and she muttered in a low voice, "Why didn't you say so earlier! I've already given out my name!"

……

Sichen Palace (Sky Control).

Yu Kong was silently watching the "plot" playing on the screen in front of him. In the scene, Ting Yun was smiling and lively as ever.

Her fingers tightened slightly, and she silently prayed in her heart: "By the Emperor of Bows and Fates above, please bless this child with safety... Tingyun."

Although the mysterious Mr. Lin Lin had assured her that the little fox she had watched grow up would soon be able to return to Luofu unharmed.

But as long as she didn't see him in person, her heart remained suspended in mid-air, unable to find peace.

That concern and worry were truly hard to suppress.

......

The story continues.

After listening to March 7's explanation, Tingyun nodded slightly, her smile still gentle: "I see. Thank you all for your righteous help."

She subtly changed the subject, her long eyelashes fluttering: "But there's something I don't understand: the Starship Sea is now completely sealed off, and you, my benefactor, are not from the Immortal Ship. So what brings you here?"

Her tone was gentle and her words were polite, but her meaning was crystal clear—the Cloud Cavalry soldiers standing solemnly with halberds stepped forward at the opportune moment, their weapons gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"If there isn't a reasonable explanation," Tingyun said, clasping his hands in front of him, his tone carrying just the right amount of difficulty, "these Cloud Rider brothers over there... I'm afraid we'll have to ask them to step aside and offer a brief explanation."

March 7th and Xing immediately turned their heads to look at Walter—the team's anchor.

Walter adjusted his glasses, his tone calm as ever: "We called for port access, but there was no response at first. Someone... suddenly opened the Jade Gate for us."

"After entering the fairy ship, we couldn't find anyone anywhere, so we had to search all the way here."

Upon hearing this, Tingyun gently crossed her arms, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, her face filled with genuine confusion: "How is this possible? My ship was the last to enter port, and the Jade Realm Gate closed completely afterward. The Heavenly Ship Bureau had already completely sealed off the Star Chariot Sea—"

A burst of laughter filled the screen:

"Just a moment ago they were calling me 'benefactor,' but their attitude changed faster than flipping through a book (doge)."

"A model of high emotional intelligence: Polite in words, but ruthless in actions."

Walter: This family will fall apart without me.

"If a real fight breaks out, these two Cloud Cavalrymen probably wouldn't be a match for them, would they?"

"The key point isn't whether we can win or not... it's the nature of the conflict! Fighting on someone else's turf, isn't that a provocation?"

"That's why the Star Train's 'selfless' behavior seems so out of place yet so precious in the universe."

"There's definitely a reason why he can be the protagonist..."
