After a while, a sentence popped up under Heita's automatic reply.

Heita: What is this? Did you get it from the store manager?

Xing then told Heita everything about the iron bucket.

After a moment, Heita replied: Bring it here and let me see.

Volume 318: : Was it intentional or accidental?

Neither the unknown traveler who explores the starry sky nor the genius who wanders among the stars will blink an eye for a meeting that requires crossing the galaxy.

After sending the message, the Black Tower prepared to dispatch a ship from the space station to pick her up. If they moved quickly, Xing could return to the Luofu Immortal Boat during her healthy sleep schedule and have a good dream. But as soon as she looked up, Wang Xuanqiao had already brought Xing to the space station.

"Not bad, quite convenient." Heita put away her phone. She still stayed in front of the port of the simulated universe, just like in the game.

"So, what about that item you mentioned that contains the rules of another world? Bring it to me."

Xing handed the iron bucket to Heita, who took it, looked it up and down, tapped the surface of the bucket twice with his puppet's fingers, and then frowned.

"Based solely on the interactive feedback, aside from its resemblance to Punk Lord's artwork, it's just an iron bucket." Heita returned the bucket to Xing. "From a visual perspective, I can't find what you're talking about. We need to use the equipment."

"But what is your reason for giving this thing to me?" Heita asked Xing.

"I want you to decompose it into three iron ingots." Xing's serious answer made Heita tilt his head, as if a question mark popped out of his head.

"Then go find him." Heita pointed directly at Wang Xuanqiao standing behind him. "He wouldn't lie to you and say he can't do it, would he?"

Wang Xuanqiao saw that Heita had seen through his little trick at once and had to come out and cough.

"I just told her to look for the amazing genius club," he corrected. "I didn't say I couldn't do it."

"I knew it." Heita rolled his eyes without any dignity. "While I can't rule out the possibility that you're making fun of me, I'm more inclined to believe that you're using me to manipulate the rules of this world...?"

"Then you're defaming someone without any evidence." Wang Xuanqiao shrugged innocently. "Aren't you dedicated to finding knowledge singularities to broaden the knowledge circle? I think this is a good opportunity for you to study this."

"You know this too?" Heita's tone didn't sound too surprised. "Then let me ask you, was it intentional or..."

"I was being careless on purpose." Wang Xuanqiao replied immediately.

"...Have you heard what I have to say?"

"Oh, sorry. I meant it was a coincidence. If Xing hadn't drawn this thing, I wouldn't have suggested her to look for you." Wang Xuanqiao then added a serious answer.

"Okay, I understand what's going on." Heita nodded. "Then leave the bucket here for now. I'll say hello to ScrewGum later and see if I can use the simulated universe system to analyze the rules of the other world."

"Ah? Will there be new DLC?" When Xing heard that it was actually related to the simulated universe, he suddenly felt like testing the simulated universe.

"Not so fast." Heita waved his hand. "The project I'm launching soon isn't suitable for you to participate. I'm not going to go out of my way to find someone to simulate the universe and sleep, only to have you come in to test it when I need to launch a new round of exploration."

After saying this, Heita suddenly looked at Wang Xuanqiao. She seemed to want to say something, but then blinked and looked away.

"Come to think of it, my doll is still with you, right?" She obviously changed the topic she wanted to talk about.

"Yes, do you want me to send it back to you?" Wang Xuanqiao asked.

"Not yet. I don't have time to deal with those things right now." Heita replied, "Anyway, don't let anyone do anything weird to my doll. Just throw her in a warehouse or something."

After explaining the puppet's situation, Heita lost interest in continuing the conversation. The puppet's consciousness had already slipped into the simulated universe. Wang Xuanqiao glanced at her once more before returning to the Luofu Immortal Boat with Xing.

After the two of them left, the black tower, which seemed to be dormant, suddenly spoke.

"Knowledge circle... He can't really know everything, right?" She whispered to herself.

But... should we ask him questions about the future trajectory of the universe? If life, civilization, and the stars are but a wisp of quicksand in the palm of a human's hand to a Star God, then could the entire world have a different attitude towards him than it does towards a Star God?

Heita shook his head, withdrew his thoughts, and continued to move towards the simulated universe.

After Wang Xuanqiao brought Xing back to the Luofu Fairy Boat, he happened to meet San Yueqi and Li Sushang who had returned from the Jingfeng Ship.

"Hey, it's you guys." Sanyueqi was holding a half-drunk cup of Fairy Happy Tea. "Today's game was pretty exciting too. Guess who I saw?"

"The one who defeated Yun Li in the resurrection match?" Wang Xuanqiao randomly guessed the answer.

"Dan Heng secretly signed up for the competition?" Xing guessed something even more outrageous.

Sanyueqi smiled and took a sip of the Immortal Happy Tea. After deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, he finally revealed the answer: "Neither of them. It's the big guy, Shivaro. I didn't expect him to participate in the competition. He's quite impressive!"

"Well, that's not surprising." Xing gave a subtle but polite smile. "Schwaro, Luca, Lingke, and Hook came to Rofu together. We've already met three of them, which means we'll definitely meet Boss Schwaro as well."

"Huh? Did you guys see Lingke?" Now it was Sanyueqi's turn to be surprised. "I only saw Luca and Hook."

"This is fate, Ah Qi." Li Suchang also had a cup of Fairy Happy Tea in her hand, but it did not have any ingredients that sank to the bottom, and it was much cleaner than the cup she had on March 7th.

"Hmm—I was in Beloberg with Xing, but why does it feel like she knows more people than I do?"

"Because I'm kind!" Xing put her hands on her hips.

"Go away, is that how you use this meme?" March Seven complained to the star, "Then next time I go back to Beloberg for an event, I'll definitely take advantage of you."

"Then I'll get the manager's help." Xing took a step back and stood behind Wang Xuanqiao.

Now it was Wang Xuanqiao's turn to ask questions.

"I'm really not familiar with Belloberg," he said helplessly, "You're a famous unknown guest. You can't rely on me for interpersonal relationships, right?"

"Okay, then you can take mine." Xing took another step forward and stood in front of Wang Xuanqiao.

"Hey, such obvious discrimination." Sanyueqi deliberately raised an eyebrow. "I've been with you... through thick and thin together for so long! And now I'm not as good as the store manager, huh? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

The crazy sisters in the train crew immediately started fighting and chasing each other in the inn.

Li Suchang looked at the two people running, smiled, and took a sip of the Fairy Happy Tea.

"That's great. Before, I only practiced martial arts with Master and didn't make friends of my own generation." She said softly, "Although now that I think about it, Master is quite interesting, but Master is still Master after all."

"You were simply influenced by the environment at the time," Wang Xuanqiao replied. "If you don't believe me, look at Su Chang in the Immortal Boat. Didn't she make many good friends of her generation?"

"That's right." Li Suchang chuckled softly. "Being a homologue is truly a magical existence. She should be completely different from me, but just looking at her, I can't help but wonder - isn't she me?"

"So, did you enjoy your trip to the Immortal Boat this time?" Wang Xuanqiao asked again. "I originally wanted to bring you guys along for fun, but I ended up doing a lot of other things during this time. If you don't have enough fun, I'll have to keep you here to play more."

Li Suchang had just stopped laughing, but this time she couldn't help laughing out loud again.

"Manager, I'm not a little girl anymore." She turned to look at Wang Xuanqiao, the outline between her brows gradually relaxing. "But after seeing the wonders of the Immortal Boat, unexpectedly becoming Ah Qi's master, and witnessing this... the Martial Arts of the Beyond, this trip was definitely worthwhile."

"I had a lot of fun. Where's the manager? The manager can't just say nice words to fool me." Li Suchang asked.

"Me? I actually play every day, so of course I'm happy." Wang Xuanqiao replied with a smile and shrugged.

"Well, the store manager really does act like a god." Li Suchang smiled slightly. "Although I've been staying with Ah Qi and the others these days, the store manager's actions have been published in public. Ah Qi has told me a lot of them, and I know everything."

"Is this true? It even appeared in the newspaper." Wang Xuanqiao recalled what Potio had said not long ago, and suddenly felt a bit amused. "Could it be that they've hired another powerful person to wipe out all the dangers?"

"Huh? Manager, you haven't seen it too, have you?" Li Sushang blinked, a hint of surprise in her tone. "The most shocking item on those lists is the one about the Great Lord of Extinction surrendering his head and his entire army being annihilated. They wrote that you, the Heavenly Lord, are wandering here. Outraged by the evil deeds of the Great Lord of Extinction, you stepped in to restore order and even attracted the Emperor's help."

It's bad, I've been demoted again. Wang Xuanqiao touched his head and smiled helplessly.

"No wonder so many girls are so fond of the store manager."

Li Suchang suddenly said.

——The author has something to say——

I saw that some book friends gave feedback that they didn’t quite understand the plot paragraphs updated yesterday. Due to the length of the barrage replies, I will not answer the book friends in the barrage, but will answer them directly in this message at the end of the chapter.

At the time, Kiana and Xing were secretly competing over flammable tea at the tea stall, leaving Bianca stranded and unsure what to do. The original text also explains: It's difficult to persuade them, because they're drinking tea; it's hard to stop them, because they're still waiting for Ah Qiao to return.

After Ah Qiao came back and saw this situation, he basically understood what was going on, so he pointed at the two of them with Bianca, who was left aside. It didn't matter if the two of them wanted to compete, but they should remember to consider the people around them.

This idea was actually discussed by Ah Qiao in Volume 2: the pursuit of happiness should not affect others, and things that are obtained through struggle cannot be called happiness. For details, please refer to the relevant chapters in Volume 2 [Wine Doesn't Intoxicate People, People Intoxicate Themselves].

Volume 319: : Did he offend you?

"I'm not as ethereal as a god." Wang Xuanqiao's smile and tone carried a noncommittal tone.

"But those legendary gods...maybe they're not as ethereal as you imagine," he said. "Ultimately, their core spirits are just like humans. They're happy when good things happen, they complain when things go wrong, and if their bosses are being unkind, they'll gang up on them and punish them."

Wang Xuanqiao had seen immortal gods being worshipped by people, and he had also seen the true gods of the world, so he felt accustomed to it when he talked about them.

"I said the store manager must be a god." Li Suchang did not continue to pursue the previous topic, and said with a smile following Wang Xuanqiao's response.

"These days, I've been listening to Mr.'s storytelling at Nevernight from time to time. There's actually no specific definition of what a god or immortal is. It seems that anyone who is powerful enough can be called a god or immortal."

Li Sushang shook the Fairy Happy Tea in her hand and smiled softly.

"But, to me, being a deity is more than just about being powerful." She turned her head to look at Wang Xuanqiao. "Even if they don't uphold justice and restore order, they should at least protect the peace of the area. That's why I've always believed that the store manager must be a deity."

Wang Xuanqiao just smiled and didn't answer.

The two were silent for a moment, and Wang Xuanqiao suddenly asked, "What about you? Are you willing to become this immortal?"

"I do want to, but unfortunately I'm not strong enough." Li Sushang shook her head. "However, during the time I've been on the Immortal Boat, I've seen and heard a lot of things beyond the heavens. I do have some things I want to do."

"What is it? Can you tell me about it?" Wang Xuanqiao turned to look at her and asked.

"I think I should at least try to protect my hometown," Li Suchang replied. "First, my hometown, then the world, and finally the outer world. I will go step by step to see how much I can protect."

"It seems that Lady Suchang is ready to come out of seclusion." Wang Xuanqiao nodded and said with a smile.

"Yes, Lady Suchang is ready to leave the mountains!" Li Suchang raised her cup of Immortal Happy Tea. "However, even after leaving the mountains, she will have to continue her cultivation. I'm afraid I'll have to bother the store manager a lot. I hope the store manager won't blame me."

"That's just you being polite." Wang Xuanqiao shook his head. "It's my duty to take care of my members. Feel free to bother me. Of course, if I'm not around, you'll have to bother the deities inside the device yourself."

This reminded Li Suchang of the time when she bowed to the gaming helmet when she first went to the arcade. She couldn't help laughing out loud again, looking happier than the fairy who had been drinking happy tea.

The two chatted for a while, but the topic had already turned to tomorrow's challenge match.

Although Yan Qing did not formally offer tea to Li Suchang and become his disciple, during the time he was teaching San Yueqi, Li Suchang often gave him and Yun Li some pointers. Even if they were not at the level of a master, they were still worthy of being called a teacher.

She knew Yan Qing's potential and felt that given the strength Kiana and Yulandel had displayed, victory was possible. As long as the Kaslana sisters didn't take it too seriously, tomorrow's duel would be quite exciting.

This gave Wang Xuanqiao an inspiration beyond the competition. He felt that no matter how exciting this match would be, it would definitely be the last match between Kiana and Bianca at the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony.

Since it is the last game, why not invite Theresa and the others to take time out to watch the game live and give Kiana and Bianca a little surprise to create more unforgettable memories?

If I were to take a group photo of my friends and family when I hold the trophy, I'd probably have to make a new frame and frame it.

Wang Xuanqiao first revealed his idea to Li Sushang, who remarked that it had truly broadened her horizons. However, if they invited all their friends and family to the event, Yan Qing, the defending champion, would be in grave danger.

Wang Xuanqiao immediately took out his terminal and started messaging Theresa and the others, asking if they could spare some time tomorrow to watch the final between Kiana and Bianca.

Mei Raiden and Bronya responded the fastest, saying they would definitely make time.

Then it was Rita's turn. She said she couldn't give an answer yet and would have to give it the next day.

Finally, it was Theresa's turn. The bishop replied with a question mark.

Teriri: If I remember correctly, the opponent defending the match is also someone you know, right?

Teriri: You specially invited us to watch the game at this time. I want to ask if he offended you?

The otaku who plays games: Young people should practice more, because jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished!

Teriri: That's quite true, but your diamond drill is a bit too ruthless.

Still radiating a mixture of ethereal and resentful energy in her office, Theresa thought for a moment, preparing to ask Wang Xuanqiao to let Siegfried attend the match in her place on the Luofu Immortal Boat. But after only a few words had been typed, Theresa suddenly backspaced them all.

I almost forgot that Siegfried still has to pay her back! Theresa's tired eyes suddenly brightened. She immediately changed her words and told Wang Xuanqiao that she would definitely be there.

After replying, Theresa immediately switched devices and called Karen. Her grandmother was taking a break at headquarters, so she could just assign her to the moon to keep an eye on Siegfried and work overtime, while she could secretly take a short break for a day or two.

Although Kallen still seemed unhappy about Theresa calling her grandma, she never denied the relationship. And when she heard about overseeing the work of the Kaslana family's younger generation, she immediately agreed.

The Honkai disaster was over, but the Kaslana warriors couldn't afford to let their guard down! Kallen felt it was necessary to urge Siegfried, her descendant, on to take a step back. He had been far too lazy.

After quietly arranging Siegfried, Theresa called Amber and asked her to help organize all the current work documents and send them to the moon for Siegfried to handle.

After finishing all this, Theresa lay down on the chair contentedly, tilted her head, closed her eyes, and fell asleep...

The next morning, Wang Xuanqiao went to the Honkai Impact 3rd world and took all the people who were invited to watch the game to the game hall.

Mei Raiden and Bronya deliberately changed into clothes with more conspicuous colors so that Kiana could see them at a glance on the field; Rita also found time to change into casual clothes after a long absence to come to the appointment; however, Theresa was still wearing the archbishop's work clothes, and it was not known whether she was ready to rush back to work at any time.
