Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

Oops, I've been entangled by a fool! : Chapter 89: Rare Goods

Being a member of the Tianbosi branch of the Tianbosi clan had the greatest advantage of being able to escape easily, especially for Jiang Yan, an illegal immigrant whose passport had been revoked by Yukong. His whereabouts were impossible to trace. So, Yukong, after grabbing Jiang Yan's ear and telling him to stay out of trouble and be careful, had Qingni take him aboard the Chamber of Commerce passenger ship bound for the Black Tower Space Station.

As for the above big shot's question, of course the reason is the same as last time:

——The little guy was worried about his sister's safety. Despite all the advice, he secretly escaped from Luofu with the help of the Chamber of Commerce members who sympathized with his situation and embarked on a journey to find Tingyun again.

When will you be back? I don't know.

Where did you go? I don't know.

Why not stop him? He's not a criminal, the Tianbo Division can't stop him from looking for his family.

Without waiting for Jing Yuan to say anything, Yukong took the blame without hesitation.

No matter how big a figure he was, what did he really matter to her, who considered herself half buried in the earth? How many days could she enjoy fame, wealth, rewards, punishments, and penalties? She couldn't let the child she had watched grow up with all these messy social relationships like mothers-in-law, teachers, and stepmothers for no reason!

Thinking about the mess Jiang Yan had created, even someone as knowledgeable as Yukong couldn't help but sigh.

How great would it be if this little guy were a fox? I could force my own leaky little cotton-padded jacket on him, let these two troublesome ones calm down, and have a few fox cubs so I can retire and raise children in peace. This kind of life is what a fox of my age should live!

But unfortunately, the fantasy of a happy life only lasted for a moment, and Yukong shook his head.

No one knew better than she that some people's souls and lives were destined for the sea of ​​stars. Even now, she longed for one last flight in her life, so how could she force this on a younger generation whose fate seemed destined to be anything but ordinary?

So, have a nice journey and create your own legend, my child.

Looking at the star gate with spaceships coming and going, Yukong prayed for Jiang Yan.

--------

Sadly, Jiang Yan, embarking on his journey, didn't have the grand ideal of Yukong in mind. As soon as the spaceship left Luofu, Tingyun, who had endured a long, hidden existence in Luofu, immediately began feasting on Jiang Yan.

This time, without worrying about being exposed, she finally perfectly displayed the greed of the Suiyang Clan. While seemingly endlessly channeling and devouring Jiang Yan's various positive emotions, she excitedly ignited all the emotions she couldn't digest, transforming them into a surging wave of Suiyang Fire, which erupted from Jiang Yan's body, sweeping across the entire guest room in wave after wave, freeing up more space for her to consume.

Even though Jiang Yan had just grabbed a large amount of Sui Yang, he had never seen such a frenzied way of eating them. In the blink of an eye, he was completely immersed in this crazy love, family affection, greed, pursuit, care, desire, satisfaction, and countless other strong emotions. If it weren't for the barrier constructed in advance and constantly charging to perfectly perform its protective function, the entire spacecraft might have been burned.

The suspicious sound echoed throughout the entire day in the "Do Not Disturb" sign-adorned guest room, until Jiang Yan's many neurons seemed to be turning to ash. Finally, having achieved his revenge, Ting Yun let go of his smug little brother, who had been gloating ever since his last victory. Satisfied, he returned to his arms, helping him slowly regulate the normal flow of energy and nerves. Jiang Yan, on the other hand, could only collapse on the bed, his body hollowed out, unable to move a single finger, his mind completely filled with regret.

As early as when the rumor-busting team captured Sui Yang, Jiang Yan was very puzzled. Why did the people of Xianzhou name these Sui Yang, who could not cause much harm to the immortal species like Xianzhou people based on their appetite, as "the disaster of taking over the body" when they ate them?

It turns out these guys can empty their stomachs and continue eating even when they’re full! Who can stand this?

When Jiang Yan thought about the little pride he felt after feeding his sister last time, and the ridiculous threats he made later using this as an example, he wanted to take a time machine and kick his past self to death.

I'm doomed! I don't even have a chance to hide in the bathroom!

Feeling Jiang Yan's fear and aftertaste, Ting Yun, who had eaten his fill countless times in a row, said contentedly:

"Don't worry, although Xiao Jiang is very delicious, I won't delay your work."

However, this comfort only made Jiang Yan's fear even worse.

Huh? Is that what you have to do when you don't have anything important to do? No!

Jiang Yan's ambition suddenly exploded, and he made up his mind to fight for his great cause every minute of his remaining life, and never relax or slack off.

Wait, what's my career? I don't even know what I'm doing at the Black Tower Station.

"Sister, what are we going to do at the Black Tower Space Station? Seek the power of Boshizun? Can I really do it?"

If it was any other fate, out of confidence in his sister, he would definitely work hard without hesitation before thinking about anything else.

But as for "intelligence", Jiang Yan simply couldn't build up the confidence.

Although Xianzhou's elementary education was poor, it at least gave him a basic understanding of the universe. This universe was a magnificent world that entered the Cosmic Age a hundred thousand years ago. The power of its various technologies was nothing short of miraculous in Jiang Yan's eyes. The meager knowledge in his head was probably no different from a paramecium in the eyes of a true researcher. Even if he studied for a thousand years, could it really compare to the 84 geniuses who had only ever appeared in the entire universe?

In my previous life, I didn’t even win the Nobel Prize that thousands of people have won. It’s impossible for me to be the 85th one!

Jiang Yan's lack of confidence, no, confidence, made Ting Yun laugh so hard that flames flickered:

"Xiao Jiang, don't doubt yourself. When you get along with others, you are already destined not to become a genius."

"It's difficult for the rabbit in the thinking world to make friends with the tortoise. After all, even if the rabbit can take a nap, it's difficult for it to stop and wait for the tortoise to catch up with it."

Jiang Yan was very dissatisfied with the description of geniuses as creatures from another dimension, and he directly refuted:

"So, according to you, aren't you also a turtle, sister?"

In response to Jiang Yan's words, Ting Yun said proudly:

"Who made that knowledgeable man such a miser? Even if a mind without power runs fast, it can't pull the rabbit in reality forward. So, I chose to use my power to make the rabbit wait for us obediently!"

"So, Xiao Jiang, remember this before you deal with those rabbits!"

Jiang Yan certainly didn't dare to remember Tingyun's comments on the Star God. The entire divination system of the Immortal Boat was taught by Boshi Zun, and Jiang Yan didn't dare to bet that the Mechanical Star God would be petty and remember him. But Jiang Yan couldn't help but care about Tingyun's last words:

"What do you mean? I need to deal with more than one member of the Genius Club when I go to the Black Tower Space Station?"

I'm beating a genius? Really?

For this trip to the Black Tower Space Station, Jiang Yan's greatest hope is to find a good teacher and study hard, strive to open the door to the intellectual destiny, and gain some bonus of destiny power.

But he never dreamed that his sister would take the initiative and set her sights on that group of geniuses.

Leaving aside others, just thinking about Ms. Ruan Mei, whom Jiang Yan had only met once, still made him shiver all over.

"Light, patterns, gestures, sounds, synthetic pheromones... She can easily make you produce any emotion, and all of it comes from the heart. If it weren't for my sister, Xiao Jiang wouldn't notice anything wrong until the end of her life." Tingyun's words are still fresh in Jiang Yan's memory.

This terrifying being, capable of manipulating people's minds and conducting dangerous experiments on a universal enemy like locusts, was asking me to deal with it? Was she sure she wasn't asking me to just deliver food? What if she turned me into a child of the swarm?

However, Tingyun didn't care about Jiang Yan's retreat at all, but said happily:

"That's right. Your new strength, my new body, and your new sister's fox body all depend on these rabbits. With so many rabbits pulling you forward, Xiao Jiang, you should be happy!"

"Wait, wait a minute! Why would they help us? Are you planning to trade with some universal enemy like Rupert, or just let Huanlong threaten them directly?"

The last time he'd offered the Zerg genome map as a bargain, Jiang Yan had nightmares of a swarm sweeping across the universe, killing trillions of lives. This time, his sister's demands were even more outrageous than before, and Jiang Yan couldn't even imagine what she was going to offer.

He did yearn for power, but wasn't power meant to make him happy? Who could be happy if it meant killing trillions of people?

Fortunately, Tingyun, who had eaten his fill, did not continue to keep him in suspense and guide his fear, but directly revealed the answer:

"Don't worry, Xiao Jiang. This time, the transaction item is absolutely safe because it's you, Xiao Jiang."

"W-what? Me? How could I be so valuable?"

After hearing Tingyun's answer, Jiang Yan was completely stunned.

That's right, I have the blessing of the Amber King, and if I sell myself to the Interstellar Peace Company, I should be able to get a good price.

My physique has been transformed by Bai Lu, so I should be quite valuable in the eyes of those who are interested in the power of "immortality".

I know a lot of friends, so the face fruit should be worth some money, right?

But adding all these things together makes it impossible for a few geniuses to do hard labor!

Although the power of the Star God is precious, Jiang Yan has heard from Ester that the Black Tower Space Station alone has a collection of many rare items with the power of the Star God. His own power is obviously not irreplaceable, so how could he possibly let her take action personally?

However, Jiang Yan's confusion only earned him Ting Yun's laughter:

"In my eyes, all those geniuses combined are not as valuable as you, Xiao Jiang."

Before Jiang Yan could question him, Ting Yun continued:

"Xiao Jiang, do you remember? You told me that the geniuses at the Black Tower Space Station were studying the power of the Star God through Miss Xing."

"Yes." Jiang Yan nodded.

The magical arena where he and Sam could enjoy a thrilling battle every day was arguably the best gift Jiang Yan had ever received. Naturally, Jiang Yan was also very curious about the simulated universe that was the prototype of this arena.

After all, Xing, the only current tester in the simulated universe, was his good friend. When Jiang Yan heard that she could choose different destinies, receive the blessings of different star gods, and then battle the powerful warriors in her memories, he was envious and asked Xing for details. Fortunately, the Black Tower had never asked Xing to keep secrets, so he naturally got a lot of inside information out, and Tingyun, hiding in Jiang Yan's body, knew it all clearly.

"So, there's really no point in being a cheapskate's rabbit to Boshizun. Even the power of 'intelligence' has to be deduced and simulated by oneself."

Tingyun disdainfully dissed a certain large machine head and continued to ask:

"Then the question arises: can the blessings deduced by a bunch of pathetic souls, who haven't even been granted power by their own Star God, truly be consistent with reality?"

"Uh, that's probably not going to work."

After Tingyun said this, Jiang Yan also began to feel that the blessings of the star gods in this simulated universe seemed unreliable.

Without any actual data, they rely entirely on deduction. Even if they are very talented, how real can they be?

At least Jiang Yan had heard Xing complain a lot, saying that he often received several powerful blessings in a row in the simulated universe, and then beat the powerful enemies in his memory to ashes with one blow, which did not make any sense at all.

Although he understood that his blessing was valuable, Jiang Yan still didn't think that his 100-plus kilograms could be sold for the price Tingyun had mentioned:

"But the blessings I received are also shared by Xing and Mr. Danheng, right?"

Jiang Yan thought that although he had the Amber King's glance and the "blessing" given to him by Bai Lu, the Black Tower Space Station and the Starry Sky Train were in a cooperative relationship. If he wanted to study the power, wouldn't it be better to find Xing holding the Flame Spear or Dan Heng, the genuine former Dragon Lord, rather than Ting Yun who asked for a big mouth?

Jiang Yan's complete ignorance of his own worth caused Ting Yun to sigh helplessly:

"Xiao Jiang, do you remember why Huanlong came to Luofu?"

Although Jiang Yan was completely unaware of the details of the Jianmu battle at the time, he later became friends with Xing and naturally learned a lot of firsthand information from her. He quickly replied:

"I heard that it was to seize Jianmu and create a brand new body?"

"That's right! We, the Suiyang clan, who claim to be immortal, are actually the most fearful of death. When Huanlong sought Jianmu, it wasn't because of the order of the benefactor who caused the destruction. He simply wanted to create a perfect body that would not fear "destruction."

"With this kind of thinking, how did she become the envoy of the Order of Destruction..." Jiang Yan couldn't help but complain. This wasn't destructive at all.

The Antimatter Corps was notorious throughout the universe. Even Jiang Yan, a graduate of Luofu's introductory class, had heard that Nanook demanded very high purity from the Destruction Corps, rejecting any that were tainted with selfish desires. How on earth had Huanlong gotten in, and even managed to become a high-ranking executive?

"Didn't Miss Xing, who is very close to you, also have to be glanced at by her injured benefactor? If she can do it, why can't Huanlong?" Tingyun said with a rare sour tone.

Who could become the Lord of Extinction without destroying countless worlds to receive Nanook's blessing? Upon learning that the pioneer of the Star Train had merely blocked a single attack from the Doom Beast and yet received a glance from Nanook, even Tingyun, with his mental fortitude, was somewhat shaken.

But soon, she returned to the topic and broke the news:

"Wait, I've gotten off topic. What I meant to say is that even with my magical powers, I attempted to coexist with 'Destruction' and 'Abundance', but I still failed. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been defeated by Jing Yuan. Now, do you still think that you, whose powers don't conflict with each other and can even complement each other, aren't worthy of the geniuses' madness?"

Oops, I've been entangled by a fool! : Chapter 90 I'll take care of it

How could a miracle happen without a reason? The miraculous balance of power within Jiang Yan's body was actually the result of hundreds of years of research by Huanlong.

The power of destiny is the purest law of the universe, not designed solely for life. Therefore, the path of destiny that a living being embarks on is essentially a journey of life itself. Each step forward requires a lengthy process of acquiring strength, transforming body and soul to adapt to that strength, and continuing forward.

But the cruel reality is that when the transformations they can sustain reach their limits, most life in the universe faces only one impasse: self-destruction. One more step forward, and they'll completely lose themselves, becoming mere puppets of fate's forces and will, let alone progress. The pursuit of "abundance" leads to endlessly multiplying flesh, while the pursuit of "destruction" leads to self-destruction: these are the two most well-known dead ends in the universe. As for a drastic change in character, becoming a boundlessly loyal guardian of a star god or a zealot willing to sacrifice his life for it, the price is simply too great to pay.

What could be more despairing than a dead end? Nearly every powerful being seeks a way to avoid this tragic fate, and Huanlong is the most proactive and dedicated. After all, while the power of "destruction" is formidable, its capacity for self-destruction is also unparalleled. Others might be saved through rare artifacts or the blessings of a star god, but as the Lord of Extinction, standing only a stone's throw from the summit, she can't just beg the star god to give her a leg up. If she fails to save herself, she will be reduced to ashes.

Therefore, Huanlong set his sights on "abundance", which was the exact opposite of the fate of "destruction", and attempted to find an immortal body so that he would no longer have to fear "destruction".

However, as a Grand Lord of Extinction, how could she be so easy to find a body capable of carrying her immense destructive power? Looking across the entire universe, there were probably only a few Harvest Envoys at the level of revitalized planets, or perhaps even a miracle blessed by a pharmacist himself.

But while a powerful being of equal strength could be defeated, how could one possess their body? Furthermore, in the process of vying for a body, if the other party unleashed the power of abundance to attract the attention of the renowned "all-seeking" pharmacist, wouldn't that be a trap?

So after a long period of secret research and target screening, Huanlong finally chose Jianmu, a miracle of abundance without wisdom or knowledge, as his target, hoping to use Jianmu to cultivate a new fruit, and use it as material to create a new body that can perfectly carry his own power.

One can imagine how much effort and preparation Huanlong has put into this unprecedented plan.

Sadly, even after successfully creating a body perfectly suited to her destructive power, Huanlong still failed. The raging forces of "destruction" and "abundance" prevented her from achieving the smooth flow of the forces of life and death she had planned. Instead, her body became a battlefield, with the two immense forces constantly confronting and clashing along the "front" of their convergence, ultimately consuming each other in a meaningless internal conflict. Despite Huanlong's repeated attempts to reconcile or subdue them, only one force remained dominant, the other a mere drag. Her attempt to simultaneously harness both powers resulted in a disastrous outcome, resulting in a resounding defeat at the hands of Jingyuan's Divine Lord, which ultimately extinguished Huanlong's desire to create a perfect body.

If the power that I have gained over countless years can be used to easily create a body that is compatible, adaptable, and equal to me, why not try harder and pursue the position of the God of Fertility? Why bother with a tiny body?

But what Huanlong would never have thought was that the body she had created for herself with all her heart and soul did not succeed. Instead, the little operation she had performed to keep her beloved brother alive for a longer period of time finally succeeded after she left. How could this be justified?

"So, Xiao Jiang, you understand how rare your power is, right? Huanlong has destroyed more than a dozen worlds just to study the power of abundance!"

Huanlong had truly invested heavily in researching the Power of Plenty. Not only had he abused his power for personal gain, he had slaughtered countless people on the planets of the Plenty People. He even paid a huge price, in exchange for Xingxiao's intervention, slaughtering a large number of the famous Plenty People's Wingmakers, from the Herald down, just to collect enough data.

Although the power in Jiang Yan's body was fine-tuned by Tingyun himself, Tingyun felt extremely complicated when he thought that the body he had placed high hopes on was ultimately wasted and all benefited his silly brother.

"Uh.....I'm so valuable."

Jiang Yan finally understood why Mr. Dan Heng was so upset after examining his own body.

How could this be such a coincidence? How could it be so?

Unfortunately, this is not a coincidence, but rather there is enough "research data".

When Jiang Yan thought about the fact that the price of adjusting his power to a perfect proportion was to destroy more than a dozen worlds, hundreds of planets, and who knows how many billions of lives, he suddenly felt like he had become more advanced.

However, since those who died were all people of abundance, Jiang Yan naturally did not feel any psychological pressure.

The single most common consensus across the universe is that the People of Plenty can be considered the same as the Zerg, to be killed at will, as often as possible. Even the People of Plenty themselves are killing. These lunatics, who readily devour other beings, even their own kind, to gain the power of Plenty, purify the cosmic environment with every kill. If they were used as research subjects, Jiang Yan would eagerly await Huanlong's continued research, ideally until they were exterminated.

But it was obvious that he was now more valuable for research than those people of abundance. Thinking of this, Jiang Yan asked hesitantly:

"So, sister, what are you going to do from now on? Can these geniuses solve problems that even Huanlong can't solve?"
