Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

Although opening the door to knowledge is a great thing, many people don’t actually want that much. Being able to learn faster and make themselves smarter is enough to make many powerful fighters interested in this strange thing.

Yan Qing and Su Shang are far from the only warriors who would rather swing their swords ten thousand times than turn a single page. However, as their strength increases, nearly all warriors require a more precise understanding of imaginary forces and destiny to better harness and control their power. This kind of training, which requires either microscopic knowledge or philosophical scholarship, is enough to drive most warriors with combat talents to the point of banging their heads against a wall.

Learn? I don’t know how to learn!

At this time, if there is a magical item that can increase their reading speed by even one percent, this group of powerful people who have neither power nor money will not hesitate at all.

What's the use of this good stuff for those nerds? Buy it!

It was just like that moment. Soon, not only the academic community, but also many powerful individuals joined the ranks of the "Key Seekers." No matter how Ester tried to dispel the rumors, it was useless. In the blink of an eye, all kinds of low-level rare items became even more valuable and scarce. If Ester's two brooches were now thrown on the market, if the parents didn't buy them, they would probably not be able to afford them even if they sold Yanqing and Suchang.

Although Yanqing and Sushang were a little slow in their studies, they were not stupid. After hearing Jiang Yan's detailed explanation, they immediately understood that even if the processing fee was free, the materials alone must have been sold at a sky-high price. They quickly stood up and thanked Esther who had accompanied Jiang Yan to the welcoming banquet.

"Thank you, Miss Ester!"

"Thank you so much, Miss Ester!"

And Ester just stood up and waved her hand with a smile:

"Don't worry about it! If you calculate it this way, I owe Xiao Jiang a processing fee that I can't afford to pay."

So, you gave yourself to him?

Several friends looked at each other, and communicated with each other with eyes that said "you know" almost in tacit understanding.

Looking at the young stationmaster who was sitting very naturally and intimately next to Jiang Yan, they immediately thought of the indigenous queen on Yalilo VI.

Sure enough, another Xiao Jiang victim.

This guy is indeed a fairy boat succubus raised by fox people. How can ordinary people resist him? Fortunately, we all grew up on the fairy boat and are used to seeing fox people since childhood. Otherwise, wouldn’t we also be in trouble?

However, they saw through it but kept silent. Facing this wealthy young woman who immediately offered two rare items as friendship fees, everyone accepted this new friend without hesitation, except for Bai Lu, who unhesitatingly occupied the other side beside Jiang Yan and kept accepting the long-awaited feeding. Especially Gui Naifen, who directly patted her chest and expressed her opinion:

"Don't worry, Miss Ester. Since we're friends now, just leave your problems to us."

"Since these idiots insist on using the key to prove their stone heads, why don't we just give Shang Shang a 'Starting from Zero, No Longer an Idiot' project? Live broadcast the entire transformation of Shang Shang after she gets the Key of Inspiration. Once we prove that this thing really has no effect on stone heads, I believe that Miss Ester will be much less stressed."

Upon hearing Gui Naifen's plan, Su Shang immediately got angry and said:

"Xiao Guizi, who do you say is stupid and who has a stone head?"

"You!" Gui Naifen answered immediately without hesitation.

"I'm so sorry for asking for leave to play with you, a stone-headed idiot like me. Next time, find someone smarter to play with you!"

Su Shang was so angry at Gui Naifen's blunt attitude that her pillow was heaving. Is this a best friend? Is this an enemy?

Next time I accompany her to break a stone in her chest, I will change my name to Li Dashitou!

Seeing that Su Chang was really angry, Gui Naifen quickly used his special skill - trickery:

"No, no, no, Shangshang, my dear Shangshang, isn't this the effect of the show? In order to prove that my show is not a script, I must have a young and beautiful girl with a simple nature and excellent acting skills. Such a person is rare, where can I find one? When I think about it carefully, it must be you, Shangshang!" Immediately afterwards, a series of flattery was thrown out like a storyteller, one set after another, and each one was different.

Shang Shang was a good kid who didn't like being praised. She couldn't hold back her anger when she heard half of it. Finally, she turned her head away and said in disgust:

"Don't give me that. I won't be fooled again."

Gui Naifen, who fooled Su Chang twice a week on average, saw that she had successfully made a nest, so of course she would not stop. She quickly said in a difficult tone:

"It doesn't matter whether my show goes on or not, but we have owed Miss Ester so many favors. How can we just watch her being asked for the key by a bunch of powerful beings with stone heads? What if one day we accidentally meet an unreasonable being like Mr. Blade whom we met in the Abyss Scale Realm?" Gui Naifen said as she looked at Ester with concern.

Of course, the situation is not that exaggerated. Although there are indeed strong people who are very interested in this key, the two words "Black Tower" in the Black Tower Space Station are enough to make any "key seeker" talk to Ester calmly.

However, before Estelle could explain, Su Shang had already taken the bait and said worriedly:

"Stop talking! Seriously, since it's for Miss Ester's safety, I'll just act!"

"Well, thank you Miss Gui Naifen and Miss Su Shang first." How could Esther, who came to the space station at such a young age to live with a bunch of scientists, have ever seen this kind of fairy boat crosstalk?

She wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare, so she could only hold it back. She turned around and told Jiang Yan with her eyes, "Your friend is so funny," and successfully received a helpless expression from Jiang Yan.

These two guys were always the biggest source of joy for everyone, even Gui Naifen's livestream. As long as Yu Shang wasn't taken back to Yaoqing by her mother to marry, they would have become Changletian's premier crosstalk group sooner or later. A little play in a scientific research facility like the Black Tower Space Station wouldn't be a dimensionality reduction attack, right?

Sure enough, after a while, Ester was laughing so hard at the frequency of a joke every three sentences of the two people that she couldn't straighten her back. She immediately called Alan and asked the security department and the service department to provide full support to these two "propaganda specialists", giving them whatever they wanted and providing any convenience they needed.

Just when Gui Naifen was already excited and babbling nonsense, no, boasting that this reality show would be filmed for at least three to five seasons, she suddenly remembered the most crucial question:

"Alu, what's the reason you asked General Jingyuan and the Dragon Masters for leave this time? How many days can you stay here at most?"

Gui Naifen asked embarrassedly, scratching her temples.

Because the bodies of the people in Xianzhou have long been coveted by the short-lived people and the people of abundance, Xianzhou has always been very strict in managing people going out.

Since everyone applied to go out under the pretext of "going out to play with Bai Lu", once Bai Lu returns, they naturally have to go back with her.

The main person didn't even know what he was doing, but he came up with a bunch of plans on his own. It's really outrageous.

Hearing this soul-searching question, Bai Lu, who had been looking for Jiang Yan to feed her to avoid this topic, suddenly shuddered all over.

As expected, there is no way to avoid it...

In desperation, she had to wrap her big tail tightly around Jiang Yan's calf under the table and shook it continuously, looking at him with a pleading face, her eyes full of "Dead Dragon Friend, Immortal Dragon Lord".

Anyway, Xiao Jiang, you have already adapted to this kind of situation, so go ahead and tell us!

Faced with Bai Lu's request, Jiang Yan's face was full of black lines.

How can I put this? This is too awkward...

However, facing Bai Lu's perfected cuteness, Jiang Yan had never been able to resist it since he was a child. This time, after being shaken a few times and having his calves tickled a few times with the tip of the tail, he could only surrender honestly. After sighing, he looked at the curious people at the table and said:

"Bai Lu came here this time to pretend to be a couple with me."

"puff!"

Several people at the table couldn't help but spit out their drinks after taking a sip.

What? Even the Xianzhou natives couldn't escape his charm?

Oops, I've been entangled by a genius! : Chapter 192: Fake is worse than real

The friends weren't surprised by Jiang Yan's frequent out-of-planet fanaticism. After all, foxes naturally tend to be well-liked, so it wasn't uncommon for them to attract a few rabid fans who shouted "Fox Champion" when they were out and about. Furthermore, this guy had been raised by the Minghuo Merchants' chief, the true Fox Champion, so it was only natural that he'd become a bit of a fox.

But Bai Lu is a native of Xianzhou, accustomed to seeing fox people! How could she be captured by Xiao Jiang? She is from the Chiming tribe!

Since the Chiming people have no reproductive instinct, they always retain some residual memories after each transformation, resulting in dozens of reincarnations per person. Most people are relatively indifferent to emotions, and the proportion of them who fall in love is far lower than that of fox people and fairy boat people.

So even though this pair of childhood sweethearts are extremely close every day, no one has ever thought too much about it.

As a result, now these two people are actually going to do it for real?

Wait, "pretend"?

Everyone was shocked and then recalled that Jiang Yan's "official announcement" seemed to have some strange wording. Several little heads came over and asked:

"What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

"What happened to you two? Tell everyone!"

"Is it pretend or is it real? Or is it fake or real? Quick! My favorite episode!"

Looking at this group of friends whose faces were flushed with excitement, their eyes were full of gossip, and they would never let him go unless they said something, Jiang Yan could only sigh helplessly and honestly tell them about his predicament that if Bai Lu didn't claim ownership of him, he would be captured by other Dragon Lords for breeding.

Then, the crosstalk duo's laughter echoed throughout the restaurant:

"Hahahaha, Xiao Jiang, you've come to this day? I knew you'd end up in trouble sooner or later! Hello, Madam Long Zun, Xiao Jiang! Anyway, you two don't have to act at all, just be more restrained."

"Hahahaha, it looks like my mother won't urge me anymore! A'Lu, you must control your philandering husband from now on! No, I can't stand it anymore, hahahaha!"

Even Yan Qing tried so hard to suppress his smile that his facial features looked distorted.

Esther, who was standing by, was already stunned.

Is Xianzhou's XP so perverted? Do they really just capture people and breed them over a disagreement?

Aren't you his friends? Why are you so happy?

And is it reasonable to pair him with such a young girl?

Looking at this group of "friends" gloating, Ester was so upset that she didn't know how to vent.

Otherwise, why not just ask Ms. Black Tower to capture him first, no, rescue him? For the sake of the simulated universe project, Ms. Black Tower should agree.

However, just when Ester was beginning to hesitate whether to learn this "traditional culture of the Immortal Boat", Gui Naifen and Su Shang had officially announced the establishment of the "Pearl Protection Squad", and appointed themselves as the captain and vice-captain, Feng Yanqing as a team member, and volunteered to follow Jiang Yan and Bai Lu to the medical ship to have fun, no, to protect Jiang Yan's safety, and even patted their chests to guarantee that with their protection, no matter whether it was the new Si Ding of the Dan Ding Division or the beautiful dragons from other Immortal Boats, don't think of deceiving our Madam Long Zun, even if the other party was from Yaoqing, we will never show any mercy.

Jiang Yan suddenly felt as if a string in his mind had snapped. He moved and instantly came behind Su Shang, grabbed her two braids and began to shake them rapidly like skipping rope:

"What the hell are you talking about! Li Dazhentou, I think you're getting carried away! Do you believe I can write a letter of denunciation to your mother and ask her to come over by spaceship and beat you up?"

"I was wrong! I was wrong! My hair is going to fall out! It's going to fall out!"

On the other side, Bai Lu, who was so angry that her hair stood on end, jumped up. Before Gui Naifen could get up, she had already pounced on her and started using her chubby little hands to pull the electric light towards her temples to give her three-view correction electrotherapy services.

"Xiao Guizi, if you don't treat this nonsense, it will be too late! It hurts a little, just bear with it!"

"I'm fine! I'm fine! I'm really fine!"

The welcoming banquet ended in a farce. Furious, Jiang Yan and Bai Lu confiscated their companions' access to the medical ship before heading to perform. The two, seemingly utterly devastated, quickly calmed down and began discussing filming plans for "From Zero to No More Idiot" with Ester, completely changing Ester's impression of the Xianzhou people.

The people on the Immortal Boat, no, the people who live on the Immortal Boat probably have a long period of maturity...

Though also a recent adult, Ester, at such a young age, had already taken charge of the Black Tower Space Station, managing countless staff members. Her lifestyle clearly differed from that of her cheerful companions on the Immortal Ship. Yet, watching their carefree conversation, their deep friendship evident in almost every gesture, Ester was filled with envy.

From childhood to adulthood, Ester has never made any friends in her life except her younger brother Alan, so she cherishes her friendship with Jiang Yan very much.

Jiang Yan’s friends, friends of friends, should naturally be my friends too!

Thinking this way, Esther became more enthusiastic towards her companions on the fairy boat, and soon became close to Gui Naifen and Su Shang, who were naturally outgoing.

No access to the medical ship? No problem, it's "filming required"—I'll get it for you!

No control group? No problem, you can choose the next batch of staff members who get the keys.

Yanqing can't be a guard anymore? No problem, there are the company's high-tech cold weapons for you to experience, the sealed virtual soldiers for you to practice with, and Alan for you to learn from. You will definitely feel at home.

As the host, even without using her money power, she made some arrangements and made several friends immediately change "Ms. Esther" to "Esther" as if they had met too late. She also told all the jokes about Jiang Yan in Luofu without any hesitation, making Esther laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.

Selling out teammates? Is telling embarrassing stories about friends considered selling out teammates? That's called a common topic!

This Miss Ester is so congenial and sincere, we wholeheartedly support her in joining the finals!

Why get married before you're 200? Why not have a ten- to twenty-year-old chicken-eating competition to compete for Xiao Jiang's throne? Let's have fun!

--------

On the other side, Jiang Yan and Bai Lu, who were unaware that their friends had been bribed, were struggling in the connecting passage.

How do you act out a Chiming tribe couple? Urgent, waiting online.

To be honest, Jiang Yan had never seen many Chiming couples since he was a child. Maybe he had, but if they were relatively indifferent to each other, it would be difficult to tell them apart if they met on the street.

Before hearing others talk about the cruel things Dan Feng had done, Jiang Yan had even thought that these guys were just like intelligent machines and had no desire in this regard at all.

Although Bai Lu is from the Chiming tribe, even if she has half of Dan Feng's power, she is still essentially a new account. She has no remaining memories of the Chiming tribe. Apart from being a little foxy and liking to play with her tail, she has no emotional memories to refer to.

The big and the small looked at each other, and after finding that the other had the same confused look on their faces, they could only sigh together.

Forget it, let’s treat a dead horse as a live doctor.

Then Bai Lu blushed and stretched out her little hand:

"Here, I'll let you hold my hand. Don't get me wrong, it's all fake! Do you hear me? It's all fake!"

After Jiang Yan took Rourou's little hand, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the bridge of the medical ship. Amidst the greetings of "Lady Dragon Girl!" and "Lady Dragon Girl, you're here!", they began to show their affection along the long corridor.

How about that? The Chiming clan rarely walks hand in hand intimately, which should give these spies a clear idea of ​​what they are like!

Unfortunately, however, as the entire medical ship was almost halfway gone, the people they met along the way didn't even glance at them to gossip. Apart from a little surprise at meeting Bai Lu, they were completely calm.

What's going on? Are the Chiming people really so insensitive to their love lives?

Seeing that Bai Lu would turn into Hong Lu if they walked any further, her fair little face turned from a dragon to a lobster and turned red. Jiang Yan had no choice but to take her to Yu Luo to seek answers to her questions.

"We're holding hands, why aren't they reacting?"

Facing the indignant Lady Dragon who was sitting on the chair, Yu Luo seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally could only say tactfully:

"Perhaps Lady Dragon Girl and Xiao Jiang are always so affectionate, and everyone is used to it."

More than just being used to it, seeing Bai Lu walking stiffly and shyly despite holding hands, Yu Luo initially wondered, "Did these two have a fight?"

Although Lady Dragon usually doesn't hold hands, she would unconsciously tickle his calves with her tail from time to time. She would feed him and play with him every day. When they were having fun, she would pounce on him and wrap her tail around his neck and tickle his whole body. Her skills were even more foxy than those of a fox man. Which one wasn't ten times more seductive than holding hands?

It was not until she heard their explanation that Yu Luo realized they were actually pretending to be a couple, which shocked her for a hundred years.

According to her plan, Lady Dragon would come over as Dragon Lord and directly announce her relationship with Jiang Yan, and order the other tribesmen not to interfere, and all the problems would be solved.
