Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

As Fu Xuan left, Lu Ze peeked out of the freight passage and noticed that the Cloud Cavalry soldiers who had been searching around the area had also left.

It seems that Fu Xuan must have spoken to the Yunqi.

He breathed a soft sigh of relief and stepped out from behind the low wall.

With the crisis over, the most urgent task was to reunite with Xing and the others. He pressed his earpiece and asked as he walked.

"Xingbao, where are you now? I'm coming to find you."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the earpiece, then Xing's voice, barely suppressing a laugh, came through: "Lu Ze, you can't come. You're thirty years in the past."

Lu Ze stopped in his tracks.

He had just climbed over the low wall and stood behind the card room, looking somewhat disheveled.

"What the hell?"

My mind didn't quite process what I meant by "thirty years ago."

He just ordered a table full of dishes at Aunt Gao's stall. When he sent the photos, Xing replied instantly that he would be there soon. How come thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye?

Xing knew this matter couldn't be explained in a few words, so she decided to first introduce Qingque to Lu Ze.

"The one who gave you directions just now was named Qingque, a diviner from the Grand Diviner's Office. The divination texts you just recited were all spoken by her."

Lu Ze then realized what was happening, suppressed his doubts, and quickly thanked him politely.

A lazy response came from the other end of the earpiece, roughly meaning that there was no need to be polite for Xing's sake, and then she added in a low voice.

"The person you just bumped into was our Grand Diviner, Lord Fu Xuan, when she was young. So please, don't let her know that I helped you. Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble."

Qingque gave Lu Ze a heads-up beforehand, lest he accidentally let something slip later.

Then the two sides began to exchange the information they each possessed.

Xing recounted the entire story she had learned from Aunt Gao's stall, and Lu Ze's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.

I am in the year 8070 of the Star Calendar, while the Stars are in the year 8100, a full thirty years apart.

"You mean the Immortal Ship Alliance will be at war in two years, and that it will suffer a defeat, right?"

Lu Ze went through the information he had just heard in his mind and came to this conclusion.

"That's right. But your name isn't in the history." Qingque's voice came through the earpiece, her tone a bit more serious than before.

"We don't yet know whether your current actions are conforming to history or capable of changing it."

"If it's the former, then your actions have nothing to do with the history here. But if it's the latter—"

Qingque paused, not finishing her sentence, but the meaning was already quite clear.

If it's the latter, then Lu Ze is now standing in the real history of thirty years ago, and his every move will have a tremendous impact on the future.

Lu Ze suddenly had an idea: "Why don't we try it out?"

"How will the experiment be conducted?"

Xing immediately pressed for more information.

She had clearly turned on speakerphone, and you could hear the faint rustling of fabric as March 7th leaned in.

"I'll find a place in the Immortal Ship Luofu, and then I'll tell you the location. You can go and dig it up directly in thirty years."

"I'll bury the things again after you dig them up."

Luze suggested a method similar to burying a time capsule.

"If you don't dig anything out at the beginning, it proves that I can influence the future."

"On the contrary, if you can dig things up no matter whether I bury them before or after you dig, then it proves that I cannot influence the future."

"I think this method is feasible."

Qingque was the first to express her opinion, her tone carrying a hint of anticipation.

At that moment, March 7th's voice suddenly broke in, full of resentment.

"Luze, go find a place to bury the things. Let's go get some breakfast first. We've been up all morning and haven't eaten anything."

Mingming excitedly ran over to meet her online friend, but instead of meeting her friend, she was starving.

"I haven't finished eating yet either!"

Lu Ze instinctively clutched his stomach; he was truly hungry.

He was so hungry he wanted to take out a fasting pill to fill his stomach.

But while one pill can keep you from being hungry for ten days to half a month, its greatest advantage is also its greatest disadvantage.

Once you take the fasting pill, you will have no appetite for any delicious food for the next two weeks.

For an ordinary person, even when they are well-fed, going without food for half a month is still too cruel.
