People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

Before entering the Taipusi, Qingque kindly reminded everyone at the gate:

"Let me make this clear. Although you are the general's guests, the Grand Astrologer hates people who don't follow the rules and ask too many questions... Please don't offend her."

Walter also nodded: "Don't worry, we are just observing an interrogation and will leave soon."

"Well, that's good. The old man looks reliable... Everyone, please..."

Open the door and you will see the real Taibusi Cave Heaven behind it.

This place is full of formations and incomprehensible runes, which are profound and obscure. The programmers of the Xianzhou version... that is, the fortune tellers, gather near the large and small formations to communicate and design running programs.

"Is this the Qiongguan Formation?"

Due to the professional habit of a chef, Yue Yan subconsciously closed his eyes and sniffed - the intellectual atmosphere here was very strong and of high quality, no less than the black tower space.

It has even surpassed the hunting patrol which is the main purpose of the immortal boat... Come to think of it, after all, the people working here are fortune tellers who are responsible for calculations and data processing, not cloud riders who kill enemies in battle, so naturally they have more of an intellectual aura.

The most powerful aura was undoubtedly the Qiongguan Formation, located in the very center of the Taibu Division. It was a supercomputer that amassed the culmination of all the technology of the Immortal Boat. Given enough information, the Qiongguan Formation could deduce almost everything in the world, both known and unknown. And most importantly...

"Gudu..."

Yue Yan swallowed subconsciously.

Her intuition told her that this thing should be delicious.

Such a strong force of destiny, and such a huge size... It is simply the perfect ingredient. If it can be stored in the system... No, no, no, just let yourself use a knife to cut off a small piece, and then light a fire on the spot and set up a casserole.

After putting them into the pot, add dried mushrooms, fresh bamboo shoots, ham slices... simmer over low heat until the soup turns milky white. It will definitely be a delicious soup!

Qiongguanzhen, delicious!

"Yue Yan, you can't eat this, it will cause big problems!"

Seeing that the girl was gradually falling into fantasy, March, who knew her character, quickly pinched her thigh, using the pain to force her to wake up.

"Oh, yes, yes, you can't eat it. You absolutely can't eat it."

Yue Yan was suddenly pulled out of her fantasy, and quickly shook her head, suppressing her appetite for the Qiongguan Formation.

This thing really can't be put into the pot. Not to mention giving it to herself, even if she takes a bite, it can cause unimaginable damage to the fairy boat - the severity is probably no less than the chaos in the star core. There is no star god on the train now. If some diplomatic incident occurs, it will be a disaster.

Qingque watched from the side, somewhat bewildered. What was edible? Could the Qiongguan formation be eaten?

But she was not the kind of person who was particularly curious and did not insist on getting to the bottom of things. As long as she brought the train set to Taibu, her mission would be accomplished.

Let’s go fishing~

Chapter 97: Fu Taibu, pat on the head, eat candy~

Perhaps because he had seen so many delicious foods, he had developed a resistance to these delicacies during this period of time. So even if he was very close, Yue Yan would not lose his mind and take a bite of the Qiongguan Formation. It was just that it would be uncomfortable to have delicious food in front of him but not be able to eat it.

Although Fu Xuan was also wondering why she looked like she was holding back something, he did not ask any more questions. After asking his fortune teller about the relevant matters, he began to prepare to activate the Qiongguan Formation.

Although the main body of the formation was ready, the three formation bases had not yet been activated. This was mainly because all the Cloud Cavalry had been dispatched to the front lines, leaving very few combat personnel within the division. While the Taibu Division was less affected by the star core, some monsters had gathered near the formation bases.

We can't just let those programmers in the company take up arms and destroy the world's creations... But fortunately, the combatants have just arrived...

Yue Yan yawned:

"Oh, I see. You want our help again, right?"

Fu Xuan nodded:

"indeed so."

"It's certainly possible to help. After all, Wumingke doesn't seek fame or fortune, and is always willing to help others. This has always been the case with pioneering efforts. However, Master Taibu..."

The girl pretended to move closer unintentionally, leaned down beside her and whispered:

"We should at least say please, right? It's basic courtesy, and it shouldn't be too much of a chore for you, right?"

"Well...this..."

Fu Xuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed - she would also say this word to others on a normal day, so there should be nothing to be embarrassed about, but for some reason, she felt a little embarrassed when someone pointed it out to her.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and after stuttering a little, she said:

“Please… please!”

"Well, that's good... I'll give you some candy as a reward."

After hearing this, Yue Yan felt quite satisfied. She took out a bag of homemade candy from her system backpack and stuffed it into Fu Xuan's arms. Then, she subconsciously reached out and, in front of Qing Que and Jing Yuan's shocked eyes—

He stroked the head of the Grand Astrologer!

It's unbelievable that Fu Taibu was killed by someone who took advantage of the height difference by touching his head!

Even the girl herself only realized that something bad had happened after she touched it.

When she usually feeds Xing and Sanyue, she always touches their heads. They don't resist because they have already formed a conditioned reflex!

But the person I just fed was Fu Xuan!

Fu Xuan was also confused - although her height was indeed the same as that of a child, she was always dignified in front of her subordinates and generals, and no one dared to be rude to her. The last time she was touched on the head was a hundred years ago when her parents were still alive.

After the confusion wore off, she finally realized what had happened to her.

"you you you……"

This sudden intimacy completely shut her down. Her brain couldn't control her mouth completely. Her face flushed red and she said "you" several times in a row. Just when she was about to lose her temper...

"Master Taibu, please have some candy!"

Seeing this, the girl hurriedly made a move that shocked General Jingyuan and Qingque even more - she took out the joy chocolate that she had stored for a long time, the one she made with the mask of the Masked Fool at the Black Tower Space Station. She still had more than a dozen pieces in her hand, but because they were really useless, she had kept them for a long time and hadn't eaten them.

After opening the package, he pinched a piece and stuffed it directly into the mouth of Fu Xuan, who was stuttering.

"Well!"

The sweet chocolate melts in your mouth instantly, mixing with your saliva, releasing a charming fragrance that lingers between your lips and teeth.

Fu Xuan was so angry that he wanted to spit it out, but for some reason, the moment the chocolate entered his mouth, his anger subsided a lot.

I feel a little reluctant to vomit.

"Um……"

As the chocolate turned into liquid, the power of joy was gradually released, and the anger gradually disappeared. Fu Xuan was even a little happy and wanted to laugh out loud - but her ability to control her expression was really strong. Although she was no longer angry, she still had a stern face, but she no longer stuttered.

"Master Taibu, please calm down. I just acted reflexively. It was a careless act. Please accept these two bags of homemade candy and forgive me!"

Yue Yan's tone was quite sincere. As she spoke, she bent down and handed over the chocolate in her hand. Her attitude was extremely humble, and she was almost saying a private Marseille.

Looking at the mask-shaped chocolate in the package, Fu Xuan's rational mind told him that he should refuse, stuff the candy in his hand back into the woman, and then criticize her harshly to show off his authority...

But... I can't bear to do that.

That chocolate was so fragrant, so sweet, and so smooth... It was completely different from ordinary chocolate, and it had a mysterious fragrance I'd never smelled before. Just holding it in my mouth made me feel happy and joyful. For some reason, the pressure I'd been feeling for the past few days disappeared. This was really...

So, as a real sweets lover, she didn't know how to choose.

Fu Qing actually hesitated. Faced with something that would undermine her dignity, she actually hesitated!!!

Seeing this, Jing Yuan was stunned. Although he managed to maintain his usual expression, he was already shocked and screaming in his heart - that was the unspeakable Fu Qing! He was touched on the head, and he was actually hesitating whether to forgive him because of two bags of candy?!

I heard Yue Yan is the chef on the Starry Sky Train. How delicious are the candies she makes?!

Qingque was also dumbfounded. As Fu Xuan's closest friend, he'd been caught slacking off, and using candy balls to bribe the fortune teller wouldn't have been without a few scoldings. Was Miss Yueyan's homemade chocolate really that delicious? Could I have a taste?

Just when the two were in a daze, Fu Xuan finally spoke.

She still had a stern face, then reached out to take the chocolate Yue Yan had given her as an apology. Feeling the heavy weight in her hand, she could hardly control the urge to smile.

"Hmph, considering your apology is quite sincere, I'll forgive you this time... I wouldn't go so far as to argue with a ten-year-old girl, but this won't happen again."

Qingque & Jingyuan: [Pupil Earthquake]

Didn't she just smile a little? That definitely meant she wanted to laugh, right?!

"Alright, hurry up and activate the array base."

Fu Xuan urged impatiently, "Qingque, you should come along and help them debug."

"Ah, ah yes!"

Thus, this diplomatic crisis between the Immortal Boat and the Starry Sky Train, which was caused by conditioned reflex, was easily overcome because of these two bags of candy.

While Yue Yan kept apologizing, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, admiring himself for his quick wit and cleverness - he actually thought of using happy chocolate to bribe Lord Taibu.

I thought this thing was useless, so I kept it in the system backpack. I didn’t expect it to save my life today. Is this my destined fate?

Chapter 98: The Slacking Genius Qingque

"Wow, sister... you're really Gigantamaxing Milk Tank, that's awesome!"

On the way to the formation base, Qingque could hardly suppress his admiration for Yue Yan, and unconsciously used some not-so-elegant proverbs that he had heard from his fellow card players.

"Lady Taibu is usually very serious and never smiles. She is extremely serious no matter what she does. I have been with her for over a hundred years, and we only hug each other occasionally in private. And that's when she's in a very good mood..."

There was shock in her tone, and her eyes were full of stars:

"And you, my friend, you are a true hero, you touched her head and calmed her down with just two packets of candy... without even getting scolded.

Although Master Taibu likes sweets, he doesn't love them to this extent. What is your chocolate made of? Can I have a taste?"

Yue Yan scratched his head, feeling a little proud inside, but he didn't show it on his face:

"Well, I'm just the cook on the Starry Sky Train. As for what happened to Taibu just now, that's actually my special ability... I guess the food I make has some special abilities or something like that.

You just need to understand that piece of chocolate as something that can make people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts and laugh unconsciously when they eat it.

But the packet I just gave to Fu Taibu was the last one. I don't have the raw materials on hand, so I can't make it. If you want to eat it, you'll probably have to ask her in person."

Qingque shook his head upon hearing this:

"Forget it then. As the saying goes - you can't touch a tiger's butt. I personally think that a bag of sugar is to a fortune teller more than a tiger's butt... I still want to live a few more years, so I won't seek death.

But you are really amazing. There are indeed many talented people in the starry sea. I am still not very knowledgeable."

She exclaimed sincerely:

"If I had your ability, I could slack off as much as I wanted on a daily basis, play cards till the end of time, and no one would dare to stop me - what's with Fu Taibu? By then, we only need a piece of hard candy to make her surrender!

Alas, it’s a pity that now all we can do is occasionally indulge in this unrealistic daydream.”

……

Qingque, even though she often says that Taibu doesn't value her and that she should be exiled to the library, she is actually a genius... Not the kind in the genius club, but a genius in the secular sense.

Her extraordinary talent was evident when she was a child. She could understand things at a glance that others could not learn even if they worked their asses off. Whether it was the humanities or science, it was not difficult for her.

Later, as his academic qualifications gradually improved, this talent was not eliminated by the increased difficulty and the efforts of those around him, but instead became more and more obvious.

At first, she didn't understand why those classmates seemed so difficult to learn some things. She thought it might be because they didn't work hard enough. Later, she realized that she was too smart and learned too easily.

But this is such a super academic... He loves to slack off, and what he hates most is showing off in front of others. In every exam, he will control his score to just pass, or exceed it by ten points, maintaining a level that is neither good nor bad, just because he does not want to attract the attention of teachers and parents.

But she finally joined the Taibusi and got the iron rice bowl that everyone envied...or rather, the golden rice bowl.

Because Xianzhou treats scientific researchers very well, especially high-quality human women like Qingque, whose benefits and treatment are enough to make others envious.

But according to what she said, she actually wanted to find a less busy job in the beginning. The salary didn't need to be very good, as long as the monthly salary was enough for her to eat... But the elders in her family kept nagging her, and in order to put their minds at ease, she had to take the exam to join the Taibusi and became a civil servant.

Of course, this kind of talk would sound like pure Versailles to others, so she rarely said it to others.

Fu Taibu values talents, and he has basically been regarded as the next general of Luofu Xianzhou, just waiting for General Jingyuan to abdicate.

Now she is obviously training Qingque as her successor. Xiaoque is smart and clever. Although she often complains that Taibu demoted her to guard the library, she actually knows what is going on.

When debugging the array base, even though several people had no research on this, they could still see Qingque's skill and facility. When faced with those complex computer languages, he didn't even need to pause or think. It came naturally and he could complete the debugging very smoothly.

"Alas, if I were Fu Taibu, I would probably also look disappointed in him."

After March shot an imaginary creature to pieces with a bow, he sighed, "You're clearly incredibly talented, but you just don't want to do any extra work. If you were more diligent, you'd probably be valued long ago... Would you say you have a good attitude?"

"Oh, life is short, enjoy it while you can. Why make yourself so tired?"

Qingque seemed open-minded. While adjusting the formation base, he said:

"Although the lifespan of the Immortal Boat people can reach a thousand years, in the history of the boundless starry sea, the time they have experienced is but a tiny speck of dust... We must seize the time to have more fun and eat more.
