I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　interesting……

　Huanlong continued to observe carefully, and then she discovered a third anomaly.

　This Lingmo, her physical age seems to be fixed at a very young level.

　Yes, that's right, it's fixed, not that she is an immortal being. In fact, there is a world of difference between the two, and the former is far more valuable than the latter.

　This further confirms Huanlong's previous observations: this mysterious Miss Lingmo definitely possesses a magical power that even makes Huanlong somewhat envious—whether it's for Nanuk's mission or for her own selfish desires, she is now, in every sense, lusting after Lingmo's body.

　Huanlong subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth.

　"?!"

　However, this subconscious action was precisely captured by Suzumo.

　I'm drenched in sweat, everyone! Can someone tell me what to do if I'm being targeted by a powerful female envoy? And she's someone who possesses both destructive power and the blessing of abundance. It seems like she wants to devour me!

　Lingmo's heart was already screaming.

　After all, putting everything else aside, in the authoritative 18G realm of Abundance and Blessing, they can indeed accumulate higher levels of blessing by consuming their companions.

　For example, the Red Moon of the Buli people is a typical example. Through the mutual devouring and accumulation of low-level Abundance Blessings of the same kind, it eventually forms an Abundance Blessing that causes a qualitative change due to quantitative change. Under such accumulation, they can even create a Red Moon that is close to the high-level Abundance Blessing of Jianmu.

　The physical body that Huanlong created for herself... can be said to be the ultimate product of the combination of the Destruction Path and the Blessing of Abundance. Although she only possesses the power of the Blessing of Abundance and has not truly embarked on the Destiny of Abundance, Lingmo has no doubt that after drawing power from Jianmu, the other party also possesses this ability to devour.

　It's decided. Once I finish the main storyline that I can't escape, I'll get rid of this guy as soon as possible and go on Danheng's storyline...

　Lingmo had already prepared an escape route in her mind.

　"Thank you all so much for saving the damsel in distress!"

　After Lingmo and the others easily cleared away the people trapped in the demonic possession, Tingyun stepped forward and gave a gentle bow.

　"My name is Tingyun, and I am Tingyun, the ferryman from the Tianbo Merchant Guild. May I ask your honorable name, my benefactor?"

　"Your name and all that... isn't that too polite? My name is March 7th, this is Uncle Yang, oh no, Mr. Walter Yang, and..."

　"And Galaxy Baseball Man!"

　Xing stood with his hands on his hips, looking like he was saying, "I'm awesome."

　"What a unique name..."

　Tingyun chuckled softly, then looked at Lingmo: "By the way, I've noticed this since just now..."

　"Is that the drone this benefactor is holding the same one that found our location earlier? Thank you so much, benefactor. And... if I may be so bold as to ask, are you Ms. Lingmo, the experimental assistant that Ms. Black Tower recently announced?"

　"I……"

　Tingyun's words immediately shut Lingmo up, who was about to give a pseudonym like Otto Apocalypse.

　"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your situation, my benefactor. It's just that as the head of the merchant group, I have a lot of dealings with the company and naturally I can get some inside information. So I've been longing to come here. I hope you won't take offense."

　"Wow, Suzumo."

　March gently poked Lingmo's slender waist and whispered, "She seems to be a fan of yours, doesn't she?"

　"Gu..."

　Lingmo covered her face: "No, stop talking, please spare me..."

　"Oh, what's there to be shy about?"

　March said with a grin, assuming that Lingmo's expression was just a bit shy: "What, are you afraid that it will turn into some kind of 'fan meeting' and you'll be taken away by enthusiastic fans and locked in a dark room or something?"

　"hiss--"

　To be honest, Lingmo wasn't actually that scared at first, but now that March said that, she really felt a little guilty.

　Could it be... that she really messed up this time?

　Chapter 159 Lingmo: Holy crap, this is a high-level game, and my teammates are so reliable?

　Seemingly because she was afraid of making things too obvious, after the initial probing ended, Tingyun stopped asking Lingmo questions and instead played the role of Tingyun normally—a shrewd and tactful merchant guild leader.

　After some conversation, and a well-timed challenge and test, Tingyun led everyone to the Tianbo Bureau in Luofu. According to Tingyun, she was just a powerless ferryman, how could she make decisions for the Sky Master of the Tianbo Bureau?

　From Walter and the others' perspective, this was nothing more than some clever tricks of small-time characters, using the blame to shift the responsibility to their superiors to distance themselves from the situation—a practical and common practice. However, Lingmo knew very well that as Tingyun, played by Huanlong, this was merely a way for her to extricate herself from suspicion.

　After all, the crisis of the Star Core's descent is currently on the surface, while the serious criminal Ren from the Immortal Ship has escaped from prison. There are simply not enough people in Luofu to manage the Star Train. In the end, it will definitely be her, who has handled train affairs before, who will coordinate the work.

　As Lingmo expected, seeing that everyone no longer doubted her identity and had already established a "refined egoist" image of her in their minds, Huanlong felt relieved and began another test.

　"Oh dear, the containers ahead seem to be blocking the road."

　As they walked, Tingyun suddenly looked ahead.

　"My esteemed benefactors, could you possibly do me a small favor?"

　"What's the deal?"

　Xingbao, who takes on commissions every day on the space station, seems to have developed a muscle memory for it, and said it subconsciously.

　"It's nothing serious."

　Seemingly startled by Xing's "always ready" demeanor, Tingyun quickly shook his head and said, "These containers are controlled by machinery and circuits, and they will block the exit. This is probably because the Yunqi soldiers want to create favorable terrain. All you benefactors need to do is find the corresponding control panel and then manipulate the containers to move."

　"certainly……"

　Tingyun glanced discreetly at Lingmo, who was huddled next to Xing: "If any of you benefactors have an easier way, that's fine too..."

　Before he could finish speaking, to the astonishment of Tingyun and Lingmo, Walter pointed his cane slightly forward, then casually waved it as if shooing away flies.

　Then, the container, weighing several tons, was suspended in the air like a toy picked up by a child, and then moved aside.

　"All right."

　Walter adjusted his glasses and gave Tingyun a meaningful look: "Let's go."

　"...My benefactor, you are truly skilled."

　Tingyun's lips twitched slightly: "But next time, please don't use such a... powerful brick-throwing method, it's easy to strain your back."

　"I'm sorry, but as Miss Tingyun just said, the situation at the Star Core is urgent, and the anomalies at the port also need to be reported as soon as possible. We must act expediently in this urgent situation, and I hope you will understand."

　As someone who had been at odds with parliaments of various countries on Earth for years after the Honkai ended, Jie Welt's mastery of official rhetoric was in no way inferior to Ting Yun's. In their back-and-forth exchanges, he left Ting Yun speechless.

　“What my benefactor says is true. Let’s go quickly.”

　After creating several more roadblocks, Tingyun watched Walter move the containers without hesitation each time, showing no intention of letting Lingmo do anything. He had no choice but to give up on the idea of ​​seeing Lingmo's abilities. Instead, he led the four of them out of the port area and boarded the Starship that had been prepared in advance, arriving at the Starship Sea.

　"So……"

　Once the Starship had come to a stop and everyone had disembarked, Tingyun cleared her throat and said, "Please allow me, on behalf of the Tianbo Company, to welcome all of you benefactors to the Starship Sea."

　"On the Luofu Immortal Ship, all matters concerning navigation and trade in the airspace are under the jurisdiction of the Tianbo Division, which ranks among the six divisions. As the largest port, the Star Chariot Sea is naturally under our control."

　"Since this is your first time visiting the Immortal Ship, I should be the one to show you around and show you the way as your host. However, given the current circumstances, we need to go to Sichen Palace first to inform Lord Yukong of our purpose."

　"Sichen Palace?"

　I took a look around March 7th.

　"Yes, it's over there."

　Tingyun pointed to the distance: "The tallest building in the Star Chariot Sea is the Sichen Palace. It's the headquarters of the Tianbo Bureau. Let's hurry over there."

　"Uh, is there no need to be in such a hurry?"

　Xing touched his head.

　"Oh dear, it's not that I'm anxious, it's that I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the responsibility if Lord Yu Kong blames me..."

　"When you have an audience with the six officials, you should always make some preparations."

　At this moment, Walter spoke up: "Miss Tingyun, rest assured, we will not go anywhere else. Please go and inform them first, and we will wait at the entrance of Sichen Palace later."

　"……All right."

　Faced with the impeccable Walter, Tingyun pondered for a moment before agreeing to Walter's suggestion. After bowing to the four of them again, she turned and left without hesitation.

　"..."

　Once Tingyun had walked away, Walter and Xing's gazes immediately fell on Lingmo.

　"……Eh?"

　Feeling like an outsider, Liberi, March 7th stared blankly at the two's synchronized movements, and asked in confusion, "Why are you all looking at Suzuma? What happened?"

　"Lingmo is a little different than usual."

　Xing put his hands on his hips and said with great certainty, "Although I don't know what happened, something must have gone wrong!"

　"Yes, and..."

　Walter paused for a moment: "That fox-girl seems to care a lot about Suzumo."

　"Uncle Yang, you noticed?"

　Lingmo's eyes widened slightly as she looked at Walter. She had thought she would be fighting alone this time, but she didn't expect that Walter would have already seen through the problem after only traveling together for a short while.

　"Ahem, after all, I've always been outwitting a blond man with countless cunning schemes. Although I've never won, losing a lot has taught me a lesson."

　Walter coughed awkwardly and explained, "On the way, Miss Tingyun seemed to want Lingmo to use her ability to control the container's operating system. Considering that she seemed to have heard about Lingmo before, I initially thought that she suspected that Lingmo used her ability to open the Jade Gate."

　"However, I later realized that the Tianbo Division could proactively check the Jade Realm Gate's visit records. Making such a probe under the premise that the situation is still unclear would make the Immortal Ship side seem a bit petty. Moreover, with only Miss Tingyun alone, she has no need to make such a 'dangerous' probe, which is completely opposite to her 'selfish and cowardly' character."

　"After all, even if you are a fan of Suzuma and want to see your idol use her abilities, there is no need to do it in this way on a dangerous battlefield. It is too illogical. So, I always move the container in advance before you make any moves, in order to prevent Suzuma from using her abilities and leaving any evidence."

　Sadly, we had guests over this afternoon and I was under strict control for the whole afternoon, so there's only one update.

　Here's a picture.

　Chapter 160 Uncle Yang, it seems a wild Otto has appeared next to Dan Heng.

　"As expected of Uncle Yang."

　After hearing Walter's explanation, a look of surprise appeared on Lingmo's face.

　"I... I did subconsciously feel that Miss Tingyun was always trying to find out about me in a certain way, but because her behavior was very proper, I didn't know what to say..."

　"Um……"

　Walter pondered for a moment and said, "As an envoy of the Immortal Ship, even if Miss Tingyun has any personal thoughts, they certainly wouldn't override the interests of the Immortal Ship itself."

　"We'll go to the Sky Ship Bureau first to meet that Lord Sky Flying. Although the Immortal Ship Alliance is considered a top power in the universe, our train's reputation is well protected. In addition, Lingmo has the Black Tower as her backing, so we don't need to worry about a situation like what happened to you in Yalilo."

　"And after that... Lingmo, if you still feel that Miss Tingyun is particularly attentive to you..."

　"Then I'll run away!"

　Lingmo said without hesitation, "In the territory of the Immortal Boat, we definitely can't afford to offend the locals of the Zhenglan Banner of Luofu. So, I'll just leave when the time comes. Anyway, we need someone to go and get some information that's not part of the plan. We can't always be led by the nose by the local forces, right?"

　"You're right."

　Walter nodded.

　"Wait, wait?"

　After listening to their discussion, March suddenly realized something and clutched her head, her expression blank.

　"So, there really were so many behind-the-scenes exchanges just now? I thought Miss Tingyun was a good person. We were chatting and laughing together, and I didn't notice any of this between us!"

　"Pfft... Give up, Little March."

　Lingmo rubbed March's head and said with a grin, "As the train's mascot, you only need to take photos and create a good atmosphere. Leave the brain work to me and Uncle Yang."

　"Ah, that makes things so much easier..."

　With a stiff smile, March slapped Lingmo's hand away: "So, are you saying I'm stupid?!"

　No?

　After making some quick preparations, Walter led the three of them to the Palace of the Gods.

　Just like in the story, in a back-and-forth verbal exchange, Yu Kong and Jing Yuan, one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop, successfully changed the train crew's mission from resolving the Star Core crisis to finding the Star Core hunter Kafka, who was hiding in the Immortal Ship.

　After the conversation, Walter easily deduced the truth that Jing Yuan had not told him—the Star Core Hunter, Blade, whom the Immortal Ship claimed to have captured, had actually escaped from the Immortal Ship's prison.
