Connect to Yuan Tiejue's chat group

In order to ease Ling's tension, Zhe made a rare joke.

Ling was relieved after seeing Zhe’s reply in the group, but she did not stop the car driving towards the outer ring road. She still wanted to see Zhe in person to feel at ease.

On the other side, the battle ended quickly. It was just a dozen low-level skeletons, and Billy could easily deal with them alone. It just took more time.

Billy looked at Ying and Danheng in confusion. After all, their clothes were very different from what Billy had seen before.

At the same time, he secretly praised in his heart: "As expected of the store manager, he has a wide network of contacts! Not long after I fell into the hole, support arrived, and they are all very skilled."

After all, Ying and Dan Heng could almost always kill those Yizhai with one strike.

Zhe and Paimon also came forward when they saw the battle was over.

Zhe said, "How is everyone? Is everything okay?"

Billy: "I'm fine, manager. Are these two the reinforcements you called in? They arrived so quickly and they're very powerful."

"By the way, Manager, how are you feeling? And the one next to you..."

"Could it be the latest model of flying humanoid Bomb?"

Zhe waved his hands: "It's okay, I can still hold on."

Then he introduced the people in the chat group, "This is Paimon, not Bomb. The two you're fighting are Ying and Danheng."

When Paimon heard that Billy mistook him for Bomb, his face immediately puffed up with anger.

"What! Paimon is not a Bomb! Damn it! Paimon is going to give you an ugly nickname too! I'll call you... 'Double Gun Boy'!"

Seeing that Paimon was angry, Billy quickly apologized: "Sorry, sorry, Paimon! I misread it. When we get out, I'll give you a full set of Star Knight peripherals as an apology. How about that?"

Seeing Billy apologizing and giving him gifts, Paimon felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I forgive you. I won't call you by your nickname." However, he did not refuse the gift. After all, gifts from another world are still very rare.

Seeing that Billy and Paimon reconciled smoothly, Zhe made his next plan.

"Next, we need to place three data piles to collect void data and calculate the path. I'm sorry to bother you."

The result that followed was obvious. Everyone quickly completed the installation of the data piles and data collection without encountering any obstacles along the way.

Even if he finally encountered a [vicious madman] (that's the name in the game, although it's a bit...).

It was also accurately suppressed by the Desolate Star summoned by Ying, and then the Jiyun shot thrown by Dan Heng pierced through the core and instantly collapsed.

Billy was stunned the whole time, and at the same time he was more and more impressed by the powerful network of contacts of the store manager.

Just when everyone reached the cave exit and were about to leave.

With the roar of the engine, Caesar and Wright on their motorcycles suddenly rushed into the cave.

Chapter 17 Anchored in the Boundary of Wildfire Town

Ying and Danheng thought they were enemies and were about to attack when they were stopped by Billy. However, this was not the time to reminisce, so everyone left the cave together first.

Caesar was still explaining that they received a mysterious phone call informing them that Zhe and Billy had fallen into the cave, and were also given a detailed route map, so they rushed to support them, but it seemed that they arrived a little late.

As Ying and the others followed Zhe out of the cave, the system notification arrived as expected: [World Commission Completed! Reward Points Issued. Participants will be teleported back to their home world in 60 minutes, but can confirm an early return at any time.]

This time, Zhe did not stay in the cave for long and did not engage in any strenuous activities, so his condition was still good and he did not faint.

At the same time, out of caution, he declined Paimon's proposal to "optimize" at this moment - mainly because he was worried that the sophisticated intelligent structure in his eyes would be mistakenly judged as "impurities" by the magical power of rules.

After leaving the cave, even though there was a system prompt, Zhe reported his safety again in the group.

[Zero·Zhe]: "We have successfully walked out of the hole, everyone has nothing to worry about."

[Juequ Zero·Zhe]: "@[Juequ Zero·Ling] Ling, I know you're on your way to the Outer Ring. Don't worry, we've safely escaped the Hollow and reunited with the Sons of Calydon."

[Juequ Zero·Zhe]: "Be sure to be careful on the road! I suspect this accident was a deliberate plot, and there's no guarantee they won't attack you. I'll ask Caesar to send someone to pick you up, but you should also be careful yourself."

[Bengtie·March 7]: "Yes, yes, Ling, don't be so excited. With Dan Heng and the others here, there will definitely be no problem. You should pay more attention to your own safety."

Everyone in the group advised Ling not to be too anxious. After all, they had brought Zhe out of the cave, and Zhe was obviously fine.

【Juequ Zero·Ling】: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ling was not someone who would not listen to advice. Knowing everyone's good intentions, she agreed immediately.

On the other side, Zhe said to Caesar: "Caesar, I suspect we were tricked and fell into this trap."

"My sister Ling is also coming to the Outer Ring to see me. Can you send someone to pick her up? I'm worried that those conspirators will take further action."

Caesar immediately agreed: "Leave it to me! We originally wanted to ask the legendary rope maker Phaethon for help."

"It's our fault that you suffered this misfortune. We will never let your sister get into any trouble again!"

"Wright! Go pick up the rope maker's sister."

Wright immediately got on the motorcycle and said, "No problem, I'll be back soon."

Billy patted his chest and assured Zhe, "Zhe, don't worry! Brother Wright is the new 'Undefeated Champion'. His skills... are only slightly worse than mine! With him taking over as deputy store manager, it's absolutely a sure thing!"

Then they all set out on their journey to the Son of Calydon.

Ying and Paimon declined the offer to stay any longer.

Zhe's safety is guaranteed, and at the Nata Flame Arena, Katsina's game is waiting for them to cheer.

After all, Zhe's safety has been guaranteed, but Katsina on the other side still needs two people.

Dan Heng originally wanted to talk to Paimeng about the demonic body again, but seeing that they were in a hurry, he stopped talking. There was no need to rush this matter.

It is a rare opportunity to observe this strange world more now.

After Zhe, Danheng and others' car drove away, Ying and Paimeng found a secluded corner where no one was around. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, they actively triggered the return function of the chat group.

A blue light flashed, and the two figures disappeared instantly. They returned to the continent of Teyvat and continued to watch the [Holy Night of Return to Fire].

Soon after, Zhe and Danheng arrived at Wildfire Town, the base of the Sons of Calydon.

After arriving, Zhe wanted to discuss cooperation matters in detail with Caesar.

Dan Heng separated from him temporarily, intending to learn as much as possible about the customs and culture of this alien world in the remaining less than half an hour.

Dan Heng briefly observed the buildings and living conditions of the residents in the town, and then consulted an old man named Demir to learn some basic information about Wildfire Town and the Outer Ring.

Overall, the outer ring is an area with relatively backward development, which is reflected in the items and infrastructure used by residents.

The area mainly relies on traditional energy sources such as oil.

The purpose of the son of Calydon inviting Zhe to come this time should be to compete with the current overlord [Triumph] for the position of overlord of the outer ring, and the core demand is to obtain the management rights of the oil resources.

So Danheng found Zhe and Caesar again in the remaining time.

"Zhe, Ms. Caesar." Dan Heng turned to the two of them with a sincere attitude, "I would like to request the placement of a [Domain Anchor] here."

He explained, "This object is a symbol of the Star Train's pioneering spirit. It can automatically anchor to the coordinates here, continuously collect basic environmental information, and replenish energy for the train."

“More importantly, it makes it easier for us to get here.”

"Of course, this won't have any impact on this place. After all, it's just a construction similar to a signal tower. The only impact might be adding a somewhat special landmark here."

Dan Heng's attitude was very sincere because there was nothing to hide.

Zhe naturally had no objection.

After this incident, he has gained trust in the chat group and the stance and character of its members.

Caesar had previously learned from Billy that Dan Heng was an extraordinary martial artist and was Zhe's friend, so he was worth making friends with. He readily agreed: "No problem! Let him go!"

The reason why Lucy did not come out to negotiate with Dan Heng was because she was arranged by Caesar to pick up Ling.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Dan Heng also took out the boundary anchor.

Everyone except Zhe was a little surprised. They didn't know where Dan Heng took out a blue crystal object the size of a basketball, which seemed to contain a ball of light.

Dan Heng gently placed the object in his hand on the ground. The basketball-sized blue crystal instantly activated upon contact with the ground. A soft, steady blue light shone from it, and the brightness of the core ball of light suddenly increased.

With a slight humming sound, the main body of the device floated steadily in the air.

Then, prismatic crystal structures extended from the upper and lower ends respectively. At the same time, several rings emitting faint light emerged out of thin air, surrounding the main core and began to rotate and revolve regularly and gracefully.

Caesar widened his eyes, walked around the suspended device for a while, and couldn't help but admire it.

"Wow! This thing can fly without thrusters, how amazing! Your Star Train is truly extraordinary!"

After placing the boundary anchor, Dan Heng sensed that the transmission time limit was approaching, and immediately said goodbye to Zhe and Caesar: "I have important matters to attend to. I will take my leave first and see you later."

He had to find a deserted place and leave as soon as possible to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

After nailing down the boundary and anchoring it, Dan Heng also hurriedly said goodbye.

Because the time for transmission is approaching, it is better to avoid transmitting in front of others to avoid causing trouble.

Caesar wanted to keep him, but seeing that Danheng was very anxious, he thought about talking to him next time and not rushing this time.

On the Starry Sky Train, everyone saw a blue cylinder flash by, and Dan Heng appeared before their eyes.

Chapter 18 We also have a Hellfire Ride!

Ji Zi and Walter asked at the same time: "Dan Heng, how are you? Are you injured? Did you encounter any accidents?"

After all, it is a sudden trip to the so-called other world, so as parents of the Starry Sky Train, they are naturally very worried.

The moment Danheng appeared, Pam's body obviously paused.

Because Pam could clearly sense that a pioneering energy that was almost enough to support a complete leap was continuously pouring into the train!

This was in no way comparable to the minor gains from those otherworldly items before! The huge surprise and shock left Pam speechless for a moment.

It was not until Ji Zi and Walter's concerned voices rang out that Pam suddenly came back to her senses and hurried forward.

His voice was still filled with excitement. "Yes! Passenger Danheng! Are you...are you really okay, pa? Didn't you encounter anything scary, pa?"

After receiving Dan Heng's affirmative answer, everyone finally put their minds at ease.

Pam couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Danheng passenger! The train suddenly had a lot of development energy. Did you complete the development mission?"

Dan Heng nodded in confirmation. "We've only completed the survey of a small area. That's probably why I chose to anchor the [realm] there. After all, we're exploring another world, so exploration energy is essential."

Pam suddenly understood, and nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice: "So that's how it is, Pam!"

The others were also very happy. After all, the most fundamental purpose of the Star Train was exploration.

Moreover, the more development energy there is, the stronger the train's power and protection capabilities will be. This is the key to everyone's continued interstellar development in the future.

........................

On the other side, in Wildfire Town.

Nearly two hours passed after Danheng left.

It was almost evening when Light and Lucy arrived at Caesar's place with Ling.

As soon as Ling got off the car, she went straight to Zhe and checked him carefully several times before she was completely relieved.

Zhe stood there helplessly, allowing his sister to examine him, but there was a barely perceptible warmth at the corner of his mouth.

After all, she knew Zhe's personality, and sometimes she was afraid that he would deliberately hide things because he was worried about her.

Zhe said, "Ling, I told you I'm fine. I checked it again, so you should believe me now."

Ling replied: "It's because my brother sometimes deliberately lies to me."

Zhe didn't make any further excuses and started to introduce himself.

"Ling, this is Caesar, the leader of the Sons of Calydon. The ones who just came to pick you up are Light and Lucy."

Seeing Zhe introduce himself, Caesar grinned and revealed a hearty and enthusiastic smile.

Zhe then said, "Caesar, this is my sister, Ling."

Ling also replied: "Hello Caesar, I am Ling"

Afterwards, everyone continued to discuss Perlman's information and how Zhe and Ling helped the Son of Calydon win the Hell Ride.

With Lucy's joining this time, Zhecai has a deeper understanding of Hellfire Ride.

On the surface, this is a simple empty motorcycle cross-country race, but in fact it is the protection of the outer ring oil resources and the selection of resource managers.
