Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

No way! What's the point of "clearing" a level if you don't carry it yourself?

Thinking of this, Silver Wolf turned around and left Elio's room, preparing to start recording his reality editing skills as batch documents and uploading them, so as to teach them all to Prometheus as quickly as possible.

I'm just confused for a moment. When have I ever been afraid in this game of life?

There is no "script", so I start to play freely!

Oops, I've been entangled by a fool! : Chapter 113: Public Reputation Explodes

Compared to Silver Wolf who was betrayed by his daughter, Jiang Yan and Bronya's recent experiences are much more tragic.

While the shopping trip completely eliminated the Belobergs' desire to continue pursuing the "wedding dress bonus," the price they paid was that their reputations quickly moved beyond "erotic" and towards "curiosity." Ironically, it was this shopping trip that gave the Belobergs' imaginations wings to soar.

Both Jiang Yan and Bronya overlooked one point: although the restaurant of the Goethe Hotel was extremely famous, its core function was still to be the largest hotel in Beloberg.

When they chose to go upstairs to fight on the etheric front, the entire Beloberg was completely boiling.

This family of eight went upstairs in full view of everyone? No way! They started it right in the middle of the day?

No wonder the Grand Guardian and His Royal Highness the Prince didn’t go to the opera house or the museum, but came directly here. Is this top-level suite more interesting than the bedroom?

No wonder she was able to give birth to two daughters in one year. She didn’t waste any time at all!

What are they doing? How do so many people do it?

Damn, no imagination! Where are the newspapers? Where is the radio? Help!

The newspapers and radio broadcasts did not disappoint them. Soon, all kinds of extremely bizarre statements came out:

His Royal Highness the Prince is a remnant of the Grammer Iron Cavalry, a modified human with Zerg genes.

Your Highness is a new form of insect man that evolved in order to survive after the insect swarm was repeatedly strangled by the entire universe.

Due to a mutation in his Immortal Boat bloodline, his seed possessed a powerful "fertility" power. Upon merging with the mother body, it rapidly absorbed nutrients and grew rapidly, quickly reducing an ordinary mortal to a mere skeletal form. Therefore, his Highness searched the stars for a sufficiently powerful mother body. After searching countless planets, he finally found the Great Guardian.

His Royal Highness is a breeder with the destiny of "harmony". Because of his huge "breeding" ability, he was discovered and cultivated by the Xianzhou people since he was a child. After he matures, he will become a thermal weapon specializing in treating infertility among the Chiming people. He came to Yalilo No. 6 to conduct weapon experiments, and it seems that the experiment has been successful.

His Highness is the dark side of Harmony, born from its consumption of Breeding. He is the ominous sign before the Mother of Stars degenerates into the Mother of the Swarm, a "Cancer of Harmony" that uses its swarming power to corrupt other lives and souls. The current Grand Guardian is likely already tainted by Harmony's fate.

......

"You bastards, I won't let you off!"

The furious Jiang Yan instantly tore up the newspaper in his hand, then smashed his fist on the dining table, burning the thick stack of newspapers and magazines to ashes.

Originally, he thought it was simple, just a rumor, what big scenes had he not seen?

Damn, I've never seen such a scene before!

Jiang Yan was devastated by all kinds of rumors that were so bizarre that he had to look up information to understand what they meant. Even if no one was there to button his wedding gown, he didn't want to go out. He just stayed in the guest room honestly every day. Apart from fighting with Sam, he developed new tactics with Prometheus and became a complete otaku.

These bastards, they're using the internet now, right? None of them are good!

Ever since Beloberg reconnected with the outside world, "opening your eyes to see the universe" has become a fashion among the Beloberg people. No one will read the news unless it contains some incomprehensible cosmic elements. It is natural for them to write curious articles by randomly piecing together things.

But how could such a "technical" rumor be entirely fabricated by the Belobergs? Clearly, Luofu's gossip and urban legends have fueled their own narrative, not least the literary creations of that sleazy Xiao Guizi, who constantly teases herself on her livestreams, spouting off her own nonsense! She'll go back and trick Su Shang into giving her a good spanking!

However, if it was just the Belobergs searching the interstellar internet because of their identities as Xianzhou people, Jiang Yan could guarantee that the rumor wouldn't have spread so quickly and so fiercely. There must be a bastard who knows me well and has strong information manipulation skills behind the scenes...Silver Wolf, you bastard! What does it have to do with me if your daughter betrays you?

"Damn it! She should be taught a lesson."

Next to Jiang Yan, Bronya was also holding half a newspaper that she had torn in two out of anger. Her expression was even colder than the severe cold in the snowfield outside the city.

If it were simply a rumor about her and Jiang Yan, Bronya would have been used to it and tolerated it. But now these people were talking nonsense. What nonsense? Seedbed? Mother? Breeding experiment? How could they fabricate such vicious rumors about an unmarried girl? This was no ordinary rumor-mongering; it was definitely a worship of "joy." They had to be dealt with forcefully!

However, even if several newspapers were closed down, it still couldn't stop the public from having a heated discussion on "Why can the Great Guardian surpass human limits and give birth to two big children in a year?" Even scholars from the Beloberg Academy of Sciences got involved.

Faced with this group of extremely bored people, even Bronya, who had devoted her whole heart to Beloberg, got angry for a rare time. She used the excuse of "feeling unwell" to return to her bedroom and stayed indoors, choosing a non-violent and non-cooperative strike.

But unfortunately, in this era when the cold wave is gradually fading, the strike of the Great Guardian does not seem to threaten her people. Instead, it makes the rumors more and more intense, and a wave of heated discussions on "Can the Great Guardian give birth to a third child within a year" has arisen. Bronya, who has fallen into autism, has no choice but to find her brother in distress. The two sit together and curse these bad guys together.

Seeing Bronya's equally furious expression, Jiang Yan was even more furious. Without hesitation, he opened his portable terminal and contacted Silver Wolf, and started a flag-planting confrontation with her:

"You did it!"

"What does it have to do with me? I don't have that much free time. I haven't even finished the new game yet!"

"I haven't even told you what it is, and you're already denying it? Can you be a little more sincere?"

"For hackers, if they haven't been caught, they haven't done it. Please respect the Punk Lord culture."

Silver Wolf, who kept several windows open 24/7, was no match for ten Jiang Yans in a tirade, instantly wielding verbal poison to annihilate him. And while Bronya desperately wanted to help out and give the damned memetic creature a good scolding, she, a daughter of a wealthy family, searched through her decade-long memory bank and the most vicious curse she could muster was something like, "Do you believe I'll shove a gun up your nose?" She had absolutely no fighting power.

There was no other way. He couldn't handle the information manipulation. He couldn't ask Prometheus to pollute the children's minds. He couldn't confront them either, so Jiang Yan had to dig up the past.

"You promised to protect me? Is this how you're going to protect me?"

Silver Wolf, in high spirits after a resounding victory in the laning phase, happily threw out the gift he had intended to give to Jiang Yan:

"I'm here to protect you. I've been busy lately, working hard to help you investigate the information about the Masked Fool. I'm here to help you!"

"While you were using your 'breeding' power to pollute that planet, that guy's Ether Front base station was already built, and then the next second, I hacked into it. Masked Fool, is that it?"

Silver Wolf's words instantly caught the attention of Jiang Yan and Bronya:

"Did you find anything?"

"Of course I have. That bastard really doesn't intend to play the game properly. The maximum number of Ether Spirits that can be deployed in a single battle with a certain ID has increased from three to six. Is he shameless? I wouldn't even use a perverted cheat!"

"Since he started it first, I won't be polite. Do you want to clear the screen with one click or do you want me to directly activate my abnormal skills for you?" Silver Wolf instigated excitedly.

Oops, I've Been Haunted by a Fool!: Chapter 114: Outsourcing Grudges

Although Silver Wolf's plan of "using magic to defeat magic" was very much to Jiang Yan's liking, Bronya rejected the proposal after thinking about it.

Regardless of the shady dealings behind the scenes, this match was still the first interstellar live tournament hosted by Yalilo VI after seven hundred years. It was perfectly natural for the Masked Fool to have some fun, but if "Prince" Jiang Yan were to publicly display one-click kills and outlandish skills without the referee's permission on his home turf, wouldn't Yalilo VI's reputation instantly rival that of Simida?

Shamelessness is something only people who wear masks can do, rationalizing it all with a simple "Brother, I was just kidding." Others can do it, but at least they have to turn off the lights and hide from others.

Silver Wolf scoffed at the meaningless idol image of the primitive man with two lumps of fat hanging from his chest. He shouldn't give any sense of superiority to cheaters. He should be ruthlessly annihilated with even more powerful cheats, subjecting him to the double humiliation of being defeated both by playing and cheating. Only then could he be called a true master player.

Isn't my reputation on the interstellar internet ten thousand times greater than yours combined? And don't I always show mercy when it's time to start?

So Silver Wolf responded disdainfully:

"Whatever you want, tell me when you've thought it through. Otherwise, when I'm being hammered by four, eight, or twelve Ether Spirits, don't even mention that I knew 'Silver Wolf' on the Interstellar Internet. I can't afford to lose face." After saying that, he closed the communication and continued playing the game.

Jiang Yan and Bronya, whose communication was disconnected, looked at each other and felt a headache.

If cheating can make the Masked Fool angry and run away, then I will be scolded.

But the problem now is that even if we defeat the other party, we cannot force the other party to admit defeat and leave. In this case, who would be willing to ruin the reputation of the entire planet on a tiny "possibility"?

Since this approach was blocked, Jiang Yan quickly thought of another way - finding a coach.

Of course, it’s not the master who’s doing the leveling, but the one who’s taking the blame.

"I'll try and see if I can find a fierce master from Xianzhou to participate in the competition. She doesn't have any idol baggage."

Jiang Yan's first thought was to get Gui Naifen to participate in the competition. She had been performing handstands while eating noodles for many years, so she obviously didn't care about cheating or not. As long as the show was effective enough to attract fans, she probably wouldn't mind even if she was asked to perform the Xianzhou Chuanwu Qiankun Toss on the spot and knock out her opponent with the ether coin.

However, Gui Naifen, who received Jiang Yan's call, refused very bluntly:

"Xiao Jiang, how big of a grudge do I have against you? Xiao Guizi, I'm a fierce anchor, not a lousy anchor. After this, do I still have fans?"

Facing this guy's expression of "this kind of thing is too low-class", Jiang Yan couldn't help but complain:

"It's not like you haven't bitten a lighter before. Is that a good job?"

Unfortunately, this kind of revelation of past secrets could not harm this great anchor at all. Facing Jiang Yan's questioning, Gui Naifen just touched her head and laughed:

"When I first came here, the people of Luofu didn't treat me as one of their own. I didn't mind letting them watch me with a sense of superiority just to earn some Xundi. Now, the Luofu family has treated me, Xiao Guizi, as one of their own. I can't embarrass Luofu in public."

After explaining to Jiang Yan, Gui Naifen suddenly remembered that the guy in front of her was a ruthless person who would not give up until he achieved his goal, so she quickly gave her bestie a warning:

"Xiao Jiang, don't try to fool Shang Shang. The people of Xianzhou are more concerned with reputation than us short-lived people. They are on the road of "hunting" and are well-known in the universe for holding grudges. If Shang Shang really lets you trick her into doing something like this, I'm afraid her mother will chase you two to the ends of the earth and hang you up and spank you."

Even though they had never seen Su Chang's mother, through Su Chang's repeated retelling of childhood horror stories coupled with her heartfelt facial expressions, everyone still imagined an image of a loving mother who was "eight feet tall, with a leopard head and round eyes, eyes like copper bells, a voice like thunder, infinite strength, serious and old-fashioned, without blood or tears", which made the little friends feel a little scared when she mentioned it.

By the way, if I always do hard stuff with Su Chang, will I be hung up and spanked one day?

Thinking of this, Gui Naifen suddenly had an idea:

"By the way, if you really want to do something like this, Xiao Jiang, why don't you ask Wumingke for help? After all, the whole universe knows that they're capable of anything from saving the universe to rummaging through trash cans. And since you're a good friend of Miss Xing, why not ask her for help?"

Gui Naifen's answer instantly made Jiang Yan and Bronya's eyes light up. Yes, as mutual friends, they both knew Xing, a pioneer without any idol baggage. When it came to abstraction, he was even as good as the Masked Fool. If he hadn't been picked up by Miss Jizi first, he would have most likely received an invitation to the Masked Tavern.

Only magic can defeat magic. Since serious people can't defeat fun people, let's use abstract people instead.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan said happily:

"Great! Xiao Guizi, you've helped me a lot! When we get back to Luofu, I'll treat you to a feast. You can choose whatever you want!"

However, Gui Naifen did not appreciate this kindness at all:

"Don't give me that! Can you show some sincerity? Even if this didn't happen, would you dare not treat me to a meal when you come back?"

Jiang Yan responded directly and resolutely to this outrageous demand for a high price:

"Speaking of which, let's talk about that joke you made about me. You idiot! The joke you casually told during the live broadcast was passed to Yalilo No. 6, and they took it seriously, okay? Are you going to just let it go, or wait until I get back and deal with you together with Su Shang? Choose one!"

Gui Naifen was not afraid of this threat at all. Instead, she said with a wicked smile:

"A joke? Humph, Xiao Jiang, remember I told you, Xiao Guizi, that my family was also well-off when I was little. Just guess, what kind of person is required to wear the coat of arms on the sofa you're sitting on, the pattern on the clothes you're wearing, and the decorations hanging on the wall behind you? Do you want me to explain it to you?"

"How does it feel to be a beautiful woman in a golden house? Do you want me to have everyone prepare red envelopes for you, Xiao Jiang, in advance?"

Damn it! Jiang Yan slapped his forehead in frustration.

It was all because this guy's down-to-earth image was too deeply engraved in his mind, and he forgot that she was once the daughter of a genuine Duke of Protectorate. In terms of her knowledge of the nobility, how could she compare to someone like him who grew up in a fairy boat?

Why are you so angry that you have to lash out at someone in person? Isn't chatting via text a good idea? You must have been caught!

His threats failed and he was blackmailed instead. He had no choice but to promise to increase the attendance rate of his "Gui Family Class" when he returned to Xianzhou. Only then was Jiang Yan let go by Gui Naifen, ending the communication, or rather the nonsense they had been talking to each other after not seeing each other for a long time, and immediately contacted the Starry Sky Train crew on the train.

Even if he believed Xing wouldn't refuse such a joyful entertainment activity, Jiang Yan wasn't so foolish as not to inform Miss Jizi, the person in charge of the Star Train, beforehand about something as outrageous as using a cheat to beat up the Masked Fool. If she felt that such an act would tarnish the already peculiar reputation of the Nameless Guest, Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't force it.

However, what Jiang Yan didn't expect was that after he finished explaining the whole story, without waiting for Ji Zi to agree, the train conductor Pam expressed strong support for sending Xing to Beloberg to "do justice":

Many Amber Ages ago, a practitioner of the Way of Joy did something unprecedented and unparalleled:

He actually succeeded in joining the Star Train, and after perfectly playing the role of an unknown guest for a whole year, one day he suddenly blew the entire Star Train into two pieces without any warning!

This extremely cruel job still bothers Pam, who never gets angry even when the passengers tease her. Even now, when visitors on the "joyful" path come to the starry sky, Pam will still accompany them throughout the journey and keep a close watch on them.

Now, hearing that a masked fool was lurking on Yalilo 6, planning to use the name of the competition to cause trouble, Pam's psychological shadow was instantly aroused. He immediately pricked up his ears and said excitedly:

"I support you in going to help. Those guys who don't follow the rules must be taught a lesson!"

Although Pam, the train conductor, was a mascot, every passenger on the Starry Sky Train had been cared for by her. Seeing Pam's rare request, the Starry Sky Train crew naturally didn't object. Not only did they happily send Xing over, they even dispatched Sanyueqi as Xing's personal Zhao Camera, ready to record the entire process of her hammering the Masked Fool, avenging the train conductor's anger.

This remarkable display left Jiang Yan and Bronya stunned. How could a masked fool, always entertaining himself, manage to sneak into your Nameless group for a year without being detected? Shouldn't this be a sign of reflection on your Nameless's abstract style? Achievelli has a last name, as does Aha. Are you half-brothers?

However, as the beneficiaries, the two of them certainly would not bring up this point in a way that would spoil the fun. Instead, they enthusiastically invited Xing and Sanyueqi into Bronya's bedroom. They gathered together and prepared to discuss a trick that would make the Masked Fool honestly admit defeat and not do anything else, while also satisfying the train conductor.

But the Masked Fool obviously has nothing to do with the word "honest". Even if he is defeated, the opponent will often keep thinking about this good opponent and keep pestering him until he completely loses interest.

How to get rid of this kind of fun person who is difficult to get rid of once you get involved with him is a difficult problem even in the entire galaxy. Even Jiang Yan has no confidence and certainty, not to mention Bronya who has been isolated from the planet for hundreds of years, and March Seven and Xing who have lost their memories.

The entire universe knows that "Hunter" is like a rude adult standing by the kindergarten classroom, ready to punch a child at any moment. But what "Joy" does is actually no different. As long as the fun is strong enough, Ahaha never hesitates to use the power of "Joy." This is the core reason why, even though the Masked Fool is so annoying, it is rare to see the Fairy Boat Chess Master being defeated by a piece of fun chess.

The Star God is always cheating, what can mortals do?

So after discussing and giving up a lot of methods that might not only not get rid of the Masked Fool but might even make him even more excited, Jiang Yan finally said helplessly:

"Although I really don't want to deal with that guy any more, but professionals should do professional work. Let's outsource this matter."

"Outsourcing?"

"What do you mean?"

No one can understand what this has to do with outsourcing.

Jiang Yan didn't keep the secret, but immediately explained:

"Since Mr. Gold Dust, who's eager to make friends, has gotten involved, why not let me pay him some 'friendship fees' and have him help us figure out a way to deal with Mr. Giovanni and take away all the hatred."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan scratched his head and said hesitantly:

"Now that I think about it, maybe this guy is just waiting for a good price, which is why he's been so honest lately."

He never underestimated workplace gamblers like Topa and Shajin. Such individuals, even if things weren't going smoothly, would never be so honest if they were determined to achieve their goals. If they weren't waiting for a crucial moment, they were probably planning something bigger. Regardless, it would be better to just deal directly and get things resolved quickly.

Jiang Yan was willing to pay the "friend fee" himself to solve the problem. Xing and Sanyueqi naturally had no objection. Except for Bronya who felt a little guilty, this plan was quickly approved by everyone, and Jiang Yan contacted Shajin through the portable terminal.
