Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

Qiong stood behind the large glass window and looked ahead. He saw an incredibly tall building standing at the end of the line, like a steel giant standing in the universe. If you looked closely, you could see that there were high walls around the building, as if to prevent anything inside from escaping.

"I remember this used to be a prison, and it does look very similar to a prison."

March 4th stood beside Sora and sighed, then immediately took out the blue camera that she always carried on her waist and started taking pictures. This was probably a place you could only visit once in your life, so of course you had to cherish the opportunity.

Qiong had no memory of such a place. He looked at the vehicles around the train. It was a real hodgepodge of vehicles, with the most numerous being space battleships. One after another, steel warships were parked in space, exuding an imposing aura. Although Qiong did not recognize what a star destroyer looked like, he felt that those warships with huge cannons were the legendary star destroyers.

Star Destroyers, which are limited edition in interstellar space, are considered commonplace here. Those invited here are all wealthy and powerful. There are many large ships, but even more small vehicles. There are also many vehicles that look similar to disc-shaped flying objects. Qiong even saw a person with a long tail standing on the largest yellow disc-shaped flying object. It could stand in a vacuum environment without protective clothing, which showed that it was a master.

People with long tails are quite common among various races, and there are many more bizarre aliens who have not yet appeared. They gather in Pinocchio in all sorts of strange vehicles to attend a family gathering, and you can feel the enthusiastic atmosphere even before you go in.

"Is it just that the atmosphere is hot? It's really hot."

March 7th tugged at his collar and said something. Qiong stood on tiptoe and looked down from above. March 7th immediately covered his clothes and glared at him. Qiong then put his hands behind his head and started whistling.

Just seconds after the March 7th rant, a manta ray radiating sunlight flew across the front of the train. This creature heated the area up like a microwave oven as it passed by, causing some chaos in the surrounding traffic as well.

"That's the rare Sacred Flame Fish from the planet Lieyang. Only princes are qualified to ride it."

Pam appeared beside March 7 at some point, pointing at the flying manta ray with her round arm. March 7 and Qiong exchanged a glance and suddenly felt like the little bastards in a famous movie scene. It was as if a brick falling down here could hit a great person. Even if they revealed that they were the grandson of the Black Tower, they would probably only be a slightly bigger bastard. It seemed they should tuck their tails between their legs and behave themselves.

March 7th was still optimistic. Anyway, she didn't cause trouble and had no dealings with important people. So she happily picked up her camera and started taking pictures again.

As the shutter clicked, March 7 captured a picture of something pitch black. The thing wriggled twice and quickly extended eight black tentacles. Eyes the size of searchlights lit up on its head, and then five tentacles intertwined to form a human hand, making a friendly interstellar gesture towards March 7.

Why did Squidward give you the middle finger?

Qiong asked in confusion, "That octopus seems to be the mount of some kind of race. Judging from the fact that it can survive in a vacuum, its physical strength is definitely no less than that of the manta ray."

"I do not know."

March 7th said blankly. Just as she was wondering why, someone knocked on the train car. Pam walked over with unsteady steps and opened the door. The scene of the air being sucked out that she had imagined did not appear. There was an isolation wall outside the door, which prevented the vacuum from contacting the car.

Standing outside the carriage was a short alien less than a meter tall. He appeared to be male, with an antenna extending from his head, the tip of which was a hairy sphere. He had a mustache and looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, but his appearance was very young.

"Hello, I am the navigator of Pinocchio. As you can see, I am a Pipisi. You can call me Gentleman."

The self-proclaimed gentleman, a Pipisi, spoke, his voice entering the carriage in a peculiar way. Pam activated the barrier that prevented entry, and the gentleman strode in with elegant steps.

"First of all, I would like to welcome you to Pinocone. This should be your first time here. Please let me see your invitations."

The gentleman must have used some kind of prop to perform the spacewalk. His attitude was quite polite, and there was nothing about his speech that made people uncomfortable. Pam was also very friendly to this person who was about the same height as her and showed him the invitation letter from her family.

"The invitation is correct, but you may not know the rules here. Someone just took a picture, right?"

The gentleman nodded, returned the invitation to Pam, and then spoke.

"Yes, it's me."

March 7th raised her hand and said that she had just been wondering about this matter, but she did not expect to be contacted so quickly.

"This lady took photos of Mr. Tocott, which infuriated him because his genitals were photographed. He is demanding compensation and the removal of the photos."

The gentleman pointed to the black octopus in the distance and said that March 7's expression instantly became interesting, like a cute face-changing performer in a circus, and finally his whole body turned ashen.

"Birth, reproduction..."

"If you are willing to compensate Mr. Tocott 88888 credits and delete the photos, it will not pursue this matter. Otherwise, you may have to meet in Pinocchio's court."

The gentleman continued, saying that rather than being both amused and exasperated, March 7 felt as if countless strange four-legged creatures were running through her mind. Although that wasn't the case, the story was that this beautiful young woman had been fined for secretly filming someone's genitals, which was the biggest stain on her life.

"We will compensate you."

Walter immediately said that as a newcomer, he certainly didn't want the train crew to make enemies. Besides, the price wasn't expensive, and the other party was probably just giving a warning and wasn't trying to extort money from them; otherwise, it would have been over a million.

"Then please swipe your card here, and I will pay on your behalf."

The gentleman took out the card reader and said that Walter decisively paid the credit points and deleted the photos from the March 7th camera under the gentleman's gaze, thus settling the portrait rights dispute.

Chapter 21 You're Really Hungry

"According to calculations, you will have to wait in line for 72 systems before you can enter Pinocone's spaceport. Sweet dreams."

The gentleman bowed to the people in the train crew, left after saying those words, and went off to attend to other matters. He had just met the navigator, so the money he had spent was definitely worthwhile.

"I was fined as soon as I arrived. How can I have any dreams now?"

March 7th said with a bitter face, while Qiong had already knelt on the ground because he couldn't help laughing. He covered his stomach with one hand and pounded the ground with the other, tears of laughter streaming down his face.

"Hahaha, secretly taking pictures of someone's reproductive organs, March 7th, I think you're really hungry."

Qiong was already laughing so hard she could barely breathe, but she still managed to utter a clear word that annoyed March 7.

March 7th walked up to Qiong and stopped. When he looked up, he saw the view under March 7th's skirt. Although the white safety shorts were close to her buttocks, he still couldn't see anything.

"Why are you wearing safety shorts? They look awful," Qiong complained.

"It's okay, you'll go black soon."

March 7th had already clenched his fists. It was bad enough that he was unlucky, but Qiong was even mocking him for this mess. Today, only one of them could survive.

"Let's talk this out. I'm a minor, and there are laws protecting me."

"There are laws on the planet, but not on the train!"

Without saying a word, March 7th pounced on Qiong, and the two rolled around on the ground and wrestled together, but they were just playing around and the fight was so intense that they only lost a few hairs.

"Don't be sad, little March. It's not your fault that this happened in an unfamiliar environment, but be more careful next time."

Himeko approached March Seven and Sora and spoke to them. At that moment, March Seven was still on top of Sora. Hearing Himeko's comforting words, he let go and nodded dejectedly.

"With your violent nature, you deserve to be single."

After getting up from the ground, Qiong patted the dust off her body. Actually, the train was very clean. Pam cleaned it every day, so it was spotless. That's why she was able to roll around on the ground.

“You’re single too,” March 7th retorted, unconvinced.

"Say that again while looking at the beautiful woman in my room?"

"It was just a coincidence, just like when I met you."

March 7th said angrily, she didn't believe that Qiong wasn't single now. Huang Quan didn't seem like the type to be in a relationship, he always seemed cold.

"Since we have to wait three days, everyone can do their own thing on the train."

Walter said with a smile that watching March 7 and Qiong always bickering made him feel like he was a few years younger. Queuing was a common occurrence, and even those large vehicles needed a place to stop.

"I'm going back to my room to play games."

Qiong waved her hand and said that, then ran off to another carriage, ready to live the life of a shut-in.

On March 7th, she reached out to grab him but it was too late. At the same time, she realized that she and Qiong always argued whenever they met. They had only known each other for less than a day, and where had her ladylike image gone? It must be all this guy's fault for not knowing how to cherish girls and always making her angry.

After returning to her room, Qiong took out her phone and started playing with it. She wanted to say hello to Estella, but before she could type two words, she saw Yomi walk in.

What are you doing in my room?

Huang Quan asked in confusion. Qiong let go of her hand in astonishment, and the phone fell onto her lap. Huang Quan's preemptive move caught her off guard. She had already said everything, so what could she say?

"Is it possible that this is my room?"

Qiong was silent for a while before speaking. Huang Quan wanted to say it was impossible, absolutely impossible, but when he thought about how he hadn't counted which door he was when he first arrived, and how close the doors of the outer carriages were, he also fell silent for a moment.

"It's alright, since we're already here, the two of us talking together will help pass the time. What else can you do in your room?"

Qiong chuckled and patted the seat next to her. If Huang Quan hadn't come, he would definitely have gone to find her later. Spending time alone was boring, but it wouldn't be with someone else.

"meditation."

Huang Quan simply said that this was just like an old man. Anyway, Qiong could not accept meditation. The world was so beautiful, how could she waste her life in a place like this?

"The queue will take three days. I'll be so bored."

"It's alright. If you hadn't brought me here, I might have had to walk for another six months to get here."

Huang Quan said in a calm tone. She was quite patient. Even though she couldn't find the way, she didn't complain. This time, her unexpected meeting with Qiong and the train crew made things much easier for her.

"That's too exaggerated. With your abilities, you could have gotten there simply by asking for directions."

Qiong made a sarcastic remark, but Huang Quan didn't reply, as if her sore spot had been hit. Thinking about it carefully, she was someone who didn't even have electronic devices and was just running around in the universe. Even if someone told her the direction, could she just walk in a straight line and get there? Qiong could only suppress her laughter and remain silent after realizing this.

Chapter 22 The Swordsman's Approval

"Want to play a game together? I'll have your aunt carry you."

Qiong took out his phone and waved it, saying that he thought this kind of game, where you can directly enter and play with your own consciousness, was so fun that he couldn't stop playing.

"I don't know how to play."

Huang Quan remained calm as she spoke. Qiong sighed. These older women are so hard to please. How did he know Huang Quan was old? Look at March 7th. That's what a young girl should be like. The contrast is too stark.

Qiong found the TV remote and gave it to Huang Quan. Since they weren't going to play games, they could watch TV instead; older people usually like watching that.

A large 65-inch TV was hanging on the wall opposite the sofa. It has to be said that the accommodations on the train are really good, and it's even free. It's practically charity. But then again, people without some ability can't get on the train. You have to be really capable to enjoy such treatment.

Huang Quan turned on the TV and started changing channels. She didn't like watching any idol dramas, but she was more interested in commercials. Qiong watched TV with her and found that she was watching a lip gloss commercial featuring a famous actor. The actor's name was Robin, a member of the Sky Ring Clan with wings under his ears and a ring on his head. The big star's acting skills were excellent, and he was also very handsome. Qiong was drooling.

"If I could marry a woman like that, I would have everything I need in this lifetime."

After watching the advertisement, Qiong sighed. Huang Quan was interested in the lip gloss in the advertisement, and he was also interested in the person who filmed the advertisement. However, this was just talk. The universe is so big, how could he possibly go out of his way to find a big star to date?

Huang Quan remained silent. She and Qiong Qunjiuqi Liujiuyisanlu couldn't discuss the matter of finding a wife, and they weren't close friends who could express their opinions on women, so she could only remain silent.

"Looks like I'll have to figure out how to use it myself."

Qiong stroked his chin and began to think. Although he had been living a life of leisure since he was born, and had unlimited credit cards from a rich woman, he did not want to continue to fall into such a decadent state. His greatest asset was the Star Core. As long as he could develop some uses to enhance his combat power and make a name for himself, becoming the Emperor of the Universe would not be just a dream.

"How do we develop it?" Huang Quan asked curiously.

"I don't know. Normally, the Star Core is one of the strongest items in the mystical realm. There might be some kind of system inside. Completing system tasks will reward you with becoming stronger. But I can't communicate with it. I'll have to ask my mom and aunt."

Qiong casually said that this guess was actually baseless and only came from the things in Silver Wolf's collection. Having a system with you is something that seems too good to be true.

"Do you want me to teach you how to use a knife? If you can use it well, you can move freely under the Star God."

With a casual grab, Huang Quan summoned a katana over two meters long, scabbard and all, which appeared in Qiong's line of sight and stood directly in front of the two of them.

"So this katana is called Mu. I'll use your katana, then what will you use?"

Qiong naturally grabbed the hilt and pulled it out a bit. The black blade was exceptionally shiny, and no one knew what material it was made of, but it felt like it could cut through anything.

Huang Quan looked surprised. She hadn't expected Qiong to draw his sword so easily. She knew that the story of this sword was even more exciting than Qiong's, and the power it contained was extremely terrifying. Being able to draw it meant that it could be used. Her original intention was actually to find a similar sword for Qiong.

“I’m strong even without a knife, and we’ll probably be together quite often,” Huang Quan said.

"Hey, are you proposing to me? That's not a good idea. I'm still a minor. I'll introduce you to my mom another day."

Qiong blushed slightly upon hearing Huang Quan's direct words. Huang Quan's good intentions were easily misunderstood; his words implied that they were destined to be together for life. Qiong felt that she could accept it.

"?"

Huang Quan tilted her head and looked at Qiong in confusion, not understanding where this guy's wild thoughts were going again, but she didn't explain, because it was too troublesome to bother with.

After Qiong put the katana back into its sheath, she held it in her arms like a treasure, her fingers slowly stroking the hilt. Given the length of the katana, it was impossible for Qiong's arm span to draw it all the way out, and Huang Quan was certainly no exception. That's why the secret she had before was worth exploring.

"Haa, haa, your katana, both the guard and the hilt are so cute, and the blue pattern is just the right amount of beautiful. Can I rub it on my face? Rubbing it on my face will make me feel calm."

As Qiong spoke, she rubbed the hilt of the sword against her cheek. Huang Quan's expression was slightly blank. Was the person in front of her really a normal human being? Had she misjudged him?

"It didn't refuse you. If an ordinary person had done that, they would have been turned into a vegetable with an empty mind."

Huang Quan stared at Qiong for a while, and after finding that he was completely unharmed, he couldn't help but say, "If he wasn't special enough, he wouldn't have the qualifications to come into contact with Wu. Now it seems that not only does he have the qualifications, but he has a great deal of them."

"Is that so? A gentleman does not take what others love. Although it is very cute, it is your sword after all. In the future, I will definitely forge a katana myself and hunt with you."

Qiong quickly returned to normal, then after a moment of thought, her expression towards Huang Quan gradually became more unrestrained.

"Ah Quan, does your knife have any limitations, such as the kind of setting where other people can't pull it out, and only the destined person can pull it out, and the person who pulls out the knife has to marry that person?"

"No."

"I think this is a good idea."

"No."

Huang Quan remained indifferent to Qiong's jokes, as always. Anyone could tell he was joking, and the one who took it seriously would lose.

"So when do we start learning?"

"Let's wait until the Pinocone thing is over. I'll probably be very busy once I get in."

After putting away her katana, Huang Quan said that she was currently too busy to forcibly increase Qiong's combat power.

"It's hard to imagine what your purpose was in going to Pinocchio, but I don't know what's inside either. If you need my help, just say so. You gave me my life."

Qiong patted his chest and said with high spirits. This was somewhat irresponsible, because he didn't know what Huang Quan was facing or whether he would be a hindrance, but he should be able to help out as a logistics assistant.
