"Yeah, thousands of years have passed, and Yalilo-VI has become like this..." Walking to Yu Qi's side, Ji Zi looked down at the pure white planet, while San Yueqi beside her held up a camera and took a photo of the planet.
"Humanity should still exist, but I'm sure this journey of 'development' won't be easy!"
“Of course not!” Looking at the Yalilo VI under his feet, Yu Qi smacked his lips: “According to normal development, Pam should come here now and tell us that there is another accident. The train will not be able to start. We must solve the crisis in this world before we can leave…”
"The space reading is abnormal! The star track stability rate has dropped to 12%!" As he was speaking, Pam pushed the door open and rushed in, shouting, "The docking plan has changed. The docking time at this station has been extended from 7 days to indefinite!"
The carriage was suddenly silent, and everyone couldn't help but look at Yu Qi, with a slightly subtle look.
Although this situation has been experienced by all the train members more than once, but when Yu Qi said it casually...
"Hiss~ Why are you looking at me? I'm not a jinx!" Feeling everyone's gaze, Yu Qi panicked: "I was just talking casually, who knew Pam would really do it! You can't blame me for this!"
"Uh..." Although they knew that Yu Qi could not be blamed for this kind of thing, everyone felt a little awkward when he said that.
Noticing the increasingly strange expressions on everyone's faces, Yu Qi's heart tightened, and then he turned to look at Pam without hesitation: "Conductor, can you tell me what's abnormal?"
"Hmm!" Although Pam felt that everyone's reaction after hearing the news was a bit strange, in response to Yu Qi's question, she still cooperated and explained the reason: "The imaginary domain where this world is located has encountered...something. The track where the train is running is blocked by something."
"Using a normal land train as an example, it's like the track suddenly breaks while you're moving forward, and there's a collapsed abyss underneath..." Ji Zi continued, "At this point, we have no choice but to apply the emergency brakes. After all, if we force our way forward, it will lead to very terrible consequences!"
"It's the same situation again..." Sanyueqi smacked his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Needless to say, the cause of the star track anomaly this time is also--"
Chapter 239 Walter's Little Hobby
"The preliminary test results are out..." Facing Sanyueqi's "as expected" gaze, Walter calmly pushed his glasses and said, "The source of the anomaly is still the "star core."
"Star core..." Xing muttered the word with a complicated expression and subconsciously raised his hand to look.
Seeing this, Walter nodded: "Yes, the star - and the "star core" placed in your body are the same material."
"Star cores again?" Yu Qi raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and his expression suddenly became a little strange. Although he had guessed that the food he needed to pass the level was "star cores", this sense of déjà vu...
"Wait a minute, allow me to ask a question..." Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Yu Qi considered his words and slowly asked, "In your world, the existence of "star cores" is not a special energy crystal thrown out by a powerful being who wants to destroy the world, such as a "star god" or something?"
"Its existence is enough to cause extremely serious distortions in time and space, and even the world itself. And the purpose of the Star Train's journey is to travel through various 'worlds', contain these star cores, and resolve the crises brought about by these star cores?"
"In the process, we not only have to face the enemies 'summoned' by the star core, but also the locals who are influenced and controlled by the star core. It is even possible that the local supreme leader is the final enemy? Only by defeating him can we obtain the star core?"
"Hmm~ Although it sounds a bit strange, it is generally true." After a moment's silence, Ji Zi nodded: "There are many mysteries surrounding the "star core", and even the black tower cannot fully analyze it, but the characteristics presented on its surface can indeed be regarded as a kind of energy crystal."
"Just as you said just now, according to our conjecture, the "Star Core" is a disaster seed that a certain star god has spread to various worlds; the fall of the "Star Core" will bring about a dramatic change in civilization and ecology, and will also produce space distortion phenomena such as the Rift. "
"This is not the first time we have encountered a situation where the route is blocked by a star core. Therefore, if we don't eradicate the source of the disaster, there will be no way to talk about "development"."
"This can be considered as a 'pioneering journey' for our train group. The purpose of the journey is also very clear: to find the 'star core' that brought disaster to this world and caused space distortion, and bring it back to the train."
"..." After listening to Ji Zi's words, Yu Qi fell into a long silence, causing San Yueqi and the others to look at each other in confusion. They couldn't understand why he had such a strange and solemn expression. Did they say something wrong before?
They wanted to ask something, but seeing Yu Qi's silent and thoughtful look, Ji Zi and the others felt embarrassed to speak.
"Hey!" He reached out and pulled Yu Qi's sleeve. As one of his 'bedside companions', Lei Dianzhen thought he knew Yu Qi quite well. He could tell at a glance that what he was thinking about at the moment was not important, so he naturally didn't care: "What are you thinking about? Is it about the star core? Or have you encountered something like the star core before?"
Combining what Yu Qi had said before, Lei Dianzhen's mind raced and he guessed what Yu Qi was thinking almost instantly. Of course, Ji Zi and the others also quickly thought of this possibility.
After all, Yu Qi's previous description sounded too similar to the situation that the star core would cause.
"I guess so!" He nodded silently, the strange expression on Yu Qi's face still couldn't be dispelled: "I just remembered some of my previous experiences, and then I had a sense of déjà vu!"
Although he had looked up information about star cores when he was in the space station before, most of the information only recorded about the disasters caused by star cores, so Yu Qi naturally did not pay attention to it.
But after hearing what Ji Zi said just now, Yu Qi suddenly reacted.
The special energy crystal (Holy Grail) thrown out by a certain existence (human evil/beast) who wants to destroy can cause serious distortion (singularity) to the world itself, and will summon various enemies (servants/monsters). The journey of the Star Train (Chaldea) is to constantly travel through the world (singularity), solve the crisis (historical change) caused by the star core (Holy Grail), and then bring it back to the Star Train (Chaldea) to seal it...
In particular, as a container for star cores, a star is likely to absorb star cores of the same kind and continue to become stronger... In other words, is this the return of the spiritual base or the strengthening of the treasure?
"Oh my goodness... What kind of universe version of Fate/Grand Order is this? So the Type-Moon is on the Star Train, right?" Yu Qi summoned his caliper panel with a thought, and looked at the golden finger that seemed to be normal. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Could it be possible that I could accidentally summon a universe chef-level hero one day?"
"Wait a minute, if it's really cosmic and related to 'food', oh shit... I'm not going to summon 'Greedy' then, am I?"
Thinking of this, another wonderful idea suddenly popped up in Yu Qi's mind, which made him gasp: "Hush~ Wait a minute, I remember that there are a total of 18 star gods in the entire universe, right? Excluding the "order" assimilated by "harmony", that is, 17 destinies..."
If we consider the "balance" as the ruler... then the remaining 16 lives can be divided into two groups of seven pairs of servants to fight a 16 vs 16 Holy Grail War? ?
As for why there are 16 destinies for seven pairs of servants? Ahem, is there really no cheating in the Holy Grail War? Isn't it common for the eighth servant to be summoned illegally?
"Fuck, isn't this going to be a FA Holy Grail battle between red and black servants? Shit, could the creator of this universe be Miraculous Dongchu? Don't be too ridiculous, I don't want to watch the 'sweet' love between a black whistle referee and a cyborg up close! ! "
Sucking his teeth, Yu Qi couldn't help but feel a toothache when he thought of some scenes that made people feel uncomfortable in their stomachs... Forget it. It was already very painful when he finished watching the anime and playing the event plot. If there was another cosmic version of a reality show here, he felt that his brain would not be able to bear it and would explode!
"..." Looking at Yu Qi in confusion, who was shaking his head, frowning, and taking a breath from time to time, Lei Dian really had no idea what he was thinking about. He could only spread his hands and discuss the matters of the development of Yalilo VI with Ji Zi and the others who also looked confused.
"According to speculation, the reason why Yalilo-VI became such an icy planet is closely related to the influence of the "star core." With a swipe on the table, the virtual screen opened, revealing a panoramic map of Yalilo VI below.
Ji Zi pointed at an inconspicuous corner on the map and said, "Due to the influence of the "Star Core" power, we are temporarily unable to observe the details of the planet's surface, but according to rough calculations, there are traces of civilization near this location. It is speculated that this should be a shelter built by the humans of this planet when the Star Core disaster broke out."
"But..." Frowning, Lei Dianzhen carefully read the records on the train about Yaliluo VI and asked, "The ecological environment on the surface of the planet has changed so drastically. Can humans really survive?"
Based on current observations, the environment on Yarilo VI is not suitable for human survival at all. The extremely low temperature caused by the "core" is enough to easily take away the lives of any species, including humans.
"We don't know about that." Ji Zi shook her head slightly, her expression also seemed a little solemn, but she still smiled and said: "But I believe that in this galaxy, there will always be miracles that we can't expect, born in those corners that ordinary people can't find."
"At least, on this planet, maybe it really exists." As he spoke, a series of blurry pictures appeared in front of everyone's eyes. They were all pictures of the surface of the planet taken by the train.
On the frozen land, in the endless cold wave, the ring-shaped city stood like a fortress... Looking at the blurred but clearly revealed vicissitudes and heaviness of the fortress in shock, Lei Dianzhen showed a faint smile on his face: "Yes, miracles always appear in places people least expect!"
The emergence of this city has perfectly proved this point!
"Yu Qi, Xing, Meiyi, I hope to leave this "exploration journey" to you, Sanyueqi and Danheng..." Turning around, Ji Zi swept her eyes over everyone present and said slowly: "Bring the "star core" back to the train - leave the rest to us."
"Eh? So many people?" Looking at Ji Zi in surprise, San Yue Qi scratched his head: "Aren't we making too much of a fuss? In the past, there were only Dan Heng and I, and occasionally Uncle Yang or you, Ji Zi. This time, we sent six people down at once... Could it be that the situation on this planet is particularly serious?"
"Yeah? By the way, aren't you going together? Why did you choose us?" Xing asked with some confusion.
"Haha, has the disaster brought by the "Star Core" ever been less serious?" Ji Zi smiled helplessly and nodded: "This time I let you go, on the one hand, to let Yu Qi, Xing and Mei Yi get familiar with the feeling of "opening up", on the other hand, you are all "players", aren't you? !"
"According to your description, you will get different rewards by completing 'missions', killing 'wild monsters', and opening treasure chests. I think that for a planet that is severely corroded by the 'star core' and could be completely destroyed at any time, there should be a lot of places where you can get rewards, especially missions and wild monsters, right?"
Before, after Yu Qi and his team had resolved the issue of the Resonance Space and returned to the train, with Yu Qi's consent, San Yue Qi and Dan Heng had reported everything about the "player" to Walter and his team.
Walter and his team were naturally extremely surprised by this, and they studied the various abilities of the players together with March 7 and his team, especially the "upgrades" of light cones, relics, and even the characters themselves.
Although I don't understand why, after using some of the "experience materials", the bonuses provided by the light cones and relics have indeed been improved to a certain extent. After raising the character level, the strength of San Yueqi and others has indeed improved slightly.
This inevitably surprised Walter and Ji Zi. As the "old men" of the train crew, they were not the old stubborn people who could not keep up with the times. They knew more about games than San Yueqi and the others. Naturally, they easily understood what happened to the few people.
It is impossible to say that they are not curious, but that is all. Since Yu Qi did not take the initiative to grant them the qualification of "players", Ji Zi and the others did not choose to ask for this power.
"As for us, someone has to stay on the train, right? And Pam will be lonely."
"Hey, no, only then will Pam not feel lonely... Well, okay, still a little bit!" Seeing that Ji Zi brought the topic to herself, Pam immediately yelled in dissatisfaction.
Of course, before he could finish his words, his tone became awkward again: "But, it's really just one thing. Pam just wants to stay with the unknown guests because she has nothing to do, not because she feels lonely!"
"Hehe..." Looking at Pam who turned away embarrassedly with a smile, Ji Zi shook her head: "Okay, no more jokes, we are not going for safety reasons. After all, the train crew just disrupted the actions of the antimatter army in the space station, and the train has been watched by the "Star God" several times, and "Destruction" has even sent down its will. In this case, the possibility of the train being targeted by the antimatter army is too great!"
"If there are no people left on the train and the antimatter army takes the opportunity to invade, it will be really bad."
“Yeah!” Sighing, Walter glanced at a picture on the table inadvertently, a little helpless: “I was thinking about going downstairs to have some fun this time, but these things happened again. It’s such a pity!”
Ji Zi glanced at him and said, "I know you really want to go, but we should let the young people walk alone to cultivate their relationship."
"Hey, is there anything in this world that Uncle Yang is interested in?" Blinking his eyes, San Yue Qi vaguely smelled the scent of a mission and came over: "Uncle Yang, tell me what you like, and when we get down there, I will definitely find a way to get it for you!"
“Uh…” Walter looked at March Seven in confusion, but he didn’t think much about it. He said carefully: “There are indeed some things that I care about, but… forget it, just try your best to protect yourself.”
"No, Uncle Yang, please tell me. We have been on the train for so long, but I have never heard you say what you like!" Reaching out to grab Walter's arm and shaking it like a spoiled child, San Yue Qi said coquettishly, "It's so hard to get some clues, Uncle Yang, how can you keep us in suspense like this!"
"Haha, that's right, Walter!" Seeing this, Ji Zi also smiled and said, "Tell me, everyone is curious about what you like!"
"This..." Walter pushed his glasses and was about to speak. Yu Qi, who came over after hearing the noise, happened to glance at the blurry picture on the screen, and then was stunned: "This is, a mecha? Gundam? A super robot? Damn, there is such a thing on this planet?!"
Chapter 240: Landing, Yaliluo VI
"Oh?" Hearing Yu Qi's subconscious exclamation, Walter couldn't help but push his glasses. Although he didn't know what "Gundam" was, he could still understand the names of mecha and super robot.
After all, he was once (one of) the creators of "Magic Sword God Machine: Arahato", and he even built one himself.
At this moment, seeing Yu Qi's surprised look, Walter instantly became interested: "Do you know this kind of thing? Could it be that you have seen a similar large robot before?"
"Well, I've seen it in anime before!" With a nostalgic look in his eyes, Yu Qi sighed, "After all, this is more or less a regret of my childhood!"
Looking back to the past, as an orphan, Yu Qi naturally had no chance to contact the outside society. Apart from occasionally listening to opera with the old grandfather next door every day, there were not many other entertainment activities to speak of.
Don't even think about things like cartoons - the orphanage at that time didn't have the conditions to provide the orphans with a TV.
Therefore, after growing up and gradually coming into contact with the outside world, Yu Qi still felt somewhat regretful about his childhood which did not allow him to experience much happiness.
Therefore, after officially gaining the ability to live independently, he also found ways to make up to himself. Naturally, he also watched all the cartoons he missed in his childhood.
But, he was no longer a child at that time. Even though he would be attracted to the world of cartoons, it would be difficult for him to immerse himself in it carefree like a child.
Ahem...that's too far off topic.
Yu Qi hasn't watched many mecha-related anime, nor has he studied the settings in detail.
But even so, he has watched such anime as: "Neon Genesis Evangelion", "Mobile Suit Gundam", "Magic King", "Super Demon Hero Legend", "Gurren Lagann", "Gundam SEED", "Mazinger Z", "Macross"...
I am quite familiar with super robots. At this moment, looking at the slightly blurry huge machine on the screen, I can't help but feel a sense of déjà vu.
Moreover, the ability to create such a huge humanoid machine to some extent proves that the civilization that was once nurtured on the planet Yarilo VI under their feet was not as weak as they thought... At least, in the disaster caused by the "star core", they were not completely powerless to fight back.
“Is that so!” Walter nodded and did not ask too many questions. He turned his eyes to the blurred picture on the screen and said helplessly: “As you can see, this is also a little hobby of mine. I originally wanted to go down and play with it, but now…”
"Forget it. I'll go to Yaliluo VI when I have the chance in the future."
"So, Uncle Yang, what you want is this large robot?" Looking at the picture curiously, Sanyueqi patted his chest vigorously and said, "No problem, I'll take care of it! When we go down to explore this time, I will definitely get this thing back if I have the chance, so that you, Uncle Yang, can have fun with it to your heart's content!"
“This…” Without hesitating for too long, Walter gently pushed his glasses, with an obvious intention flashing in his eyes, and nodded: “Then I’ll trouble you all. Just treat this as a commission I’ve given you. Later, I will give you corresponding rewards according to the convention of the commission!”
"( ?? ω ?? )y! Yeah! Great!" Looking at the completely completed task in the task bar, Sanyueqi waved his fist vigorously. At this moment, Xing beside him came over eagerly and said, "I see you have received the task. Don't think about leaving us and working alone!"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" As he said that, March Seven stretched out his hand and clicked a few times in the air. Soon, Xing and Dan Heng, who was still in the think tank, received the tasks shared by March Seven.
"By the way, Yu Qi, I forgot to tell you last time we met. Please add me as your friend so that I can share this task with you!"
Looking at San Yue Qi waving the player panel towards him and the other two to invite them, Yu Qi shook his head: "No need for that, I'm not a Dan player!"
"Huh?" After a pause, Sanyueqi looked at Yu Qi in astonishment: "You, are not a player?"
She had always thought that the four people present that day, including Yu Qi, had all become players. How come now...
Seeing San Yueqi's surprised look, Yu Qi smiled helplessly without explaining the reason.
After all, as a "spectator", how could Yu Qi really play as a player? That would be like an audience member jumping onto the stage, disrupting the original drama and being a little too ridiculous.
However, March 7th's behavior also reminded him of something. As soon as he thought about it, the crystal condensed by the reverberation space appeared in his hand.
Under the curious gazes of everyone, Yu Qi flicked his hand casually, and three crystal fragments instantly fell off, then turned into light and flew into the bodies of Lei Dianzhen, Ji Zi and Walter.
In an instant, the three of them only felt the world in front of them flash, and then a virtual panel slowly emerged in front of them, marking everything that they had seen on the player panel on March 7th.
"I forgot about this before!" With a thought, the crystal disappeared. Yu Qi smiled at the two people who were curiously looking at his 'player' panel, and said: "Although I can't bring you any powerful improvement, it is at least a small token of my appreciation!"
"This can't be called 'a little' of my thoughtfulness!" Ji Zi sighed, and with a stroke of her hand, she equipped herself with some relics and light cones that she had collected in the past. Feeling the sudden surge of power in her body, she couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
"If other forces in the universe knew about this ability, they would probably do their best to fight for you!" With a trembling hand, he took off his glasses and rubbed the lens hard, which had a crack on it. As an old man who once controlled a powerful force like "Anti-Entropy", he naturally saw the terrifying power of Yu Qi's ability at a glance.
After a long silence, he looked at everyone seriously and said, "Regarding the fact that Yu Qi can make people become 'players', do not let outsiders know about it no matter what. Remember!"
His eyes were particularly focused on San Yueqi. After all, she was the only one present who spoke without restraint at times, and it was easy for her to accidentally leak some important information.
"Hmm~Hmm!" Raising his hand and making a 'zippering' motion in front of his mouth, Sanyueqi said firmly: "Don't worry, Uncle Yang, I will keep this matter to myself from now on, and I will never say a word to anyone!"
"That's good!" Walter nodded and said nothing more. After all, even if this ability was really told to others, not many people would believe it. His advice was just in case.
"Okay, let's stop here." Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a little heavy, Ji Zi clapped her hands with a smile and looked at Yu Qi and the others: "Walter and I still need to adapt to the changes brought about by the 'players', so I won't chat with you for now."
"If you have no objection to the arrangements for this trip, why don't you go talk to Dan Heng?"
As she spoke, Ji Zi walked to the window and looked at the white planet in front of her that was emitting a bit of cold air. Her eyes were a little solemn. "He probably has started to sort out the ecological and survey data of Yalilo-VI, right? It's always a good idea to have more information before starting the journey."
"Is this an illusion? The power of the core of this planet seems to be a bit strong? Is it starting to run wild? Or... " With a little light flashing in her eyes, Ji Zi pursed her bright lips and had some thoughts in her mind.
Yu Qi naturally would not ignore Ji Zi's suggestion. He took Xing all the way to the think tank. Sanyueqi and Lei Dianzhen stayed where they were, quietly looking at the planet outside the window.
His fingertips pressed against the glass, leaving a vague mark. March Seven looked at the current appearance of Yalilo VI and for some reason recalled the scene of himself being frozen and floating in space.
"A planet covered in ice and snow... Could the answer I'm looking for be here..."
"Hmm? The answer?" Looking at Sanyueqi curiously, Lei Dianzhen took two steps closer: "Little Sanyue, are you looking for something early?"
