I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

The group hurried across the street and stopped in front of the Sichen Palace headquarters.

"Please forgive me, everyone. The news brought by our distinguished guests is truly shocking. If I have done anything inappropriate, I will definitely come to apologize in person afterward."

"The etiquette has been very thorough. You may go into the Sichen Palace to announce your arrival, and we will wait at the entrance."

"Thank you for your understanding. Please wait a moment, I will report to Lord Yu Kong right away!"

Watching Tingyun jog away, Himeko let San Yueqi and Xing Dong look around and asked Hua Yi what he thought.

"I didn't expect you to be so direct in sharing the news."

“Tingyun is the ferry envoy, and her position in the Tianbo Bureau is not low. If it were an ordinary receptionist, I wouldn’t be so direct, but if it’s her, I can just say it directly to avoid unnecessary formalities.”

The navigator was hesitant.

Why did we learn that this catastrophe was related to the star core? Who leaked the information? If our answers to questions that Luo Fu might ask are not rigorous enough, we are likely to arouse suspicion.

"The news was brought by Star Core Hunter Kafka, but we don't know if it's true or not, and she's wanted by the Interstellar Peace Corporation..."

"The larger the power, the less likely it is to have close cooperation among them. Luofu Immortal Ship will not take the initiative to help the company capture people, let alone become hostile to Star Train because of it. Even within the company, the probability of Toppa taking direct action after discovering Kafka and Silver Wolf is very low."

"So you can directly share the footage from inside the train carriage at that time?"

"Well, Kafka's avoidance of any words or actions that could easily cause misunderstandings is perhaps helping us avoid trouble."

It seems that Hua Yi has thought it through.

Himeko smiled reassuringly, while March 7th became somewhat wary. (Ma Hao Zhao)

"Will this time be a repeat of Belloberg's mistake?"

"How do you dance?"

"Just like Cocolia, the important figures on the Immortal Ship have actually been corrupted by the star core, harboring unrealistic fantasies or conspiracies. If we speak directly, we will be subjected to crazy schemes."

"The heavyweights on the Luofu Immortal Ship are the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Emperor's Bow and the Hunting Order Envoy. Even though the Star Core is also known as the Cancer of All Realms and is a major problem in the universe, it is still far from enough to snatch people away from the [Hunting Order]."

The suspension of the train didn't keep the train crew waiting for too long.

The main reason was that Hua Yi didn't tell her much information, but simply explained the potential star core crisis.

Aside from adding his own perspective, Tingyun didn't have much to report to that Yukong.

"Gentlemen, you have been waiting for a long time. Lord Yukong is waiting for you in Sichen Palace. The matter is of great importance, so I will not go in any longer."

Chapter 308 Have a cup of coffee, Lord Sky Soarer!

Is Tingyun, the rising star of Luofu Immortal Boat Commerce, qualified enough to listen to the negotiations between the train crew and the helmsman?

In fact, there are.

But now she stops outside the Sichen Palace and no longer goes inside.

At first glance, it seems like he's shirking responsibility, leaving everything to his superiors and distancing himself from the matter. But how could someone who has reached the position of ferryman only think about slacking off?

Those who slack off will never rise to a high position!

Hua Yi knew that Tingyun's performance was actually based on Tianbo Division's considerations.

This indirectly demonstrates their attitude towards the Star Train. Even though they have only heard one side of the story, they still attach great importance to it and do not neglect it in the slightest. On the surface, they have set the level of communication as one that even the ferryman cannot participate in.

Meanwhile, in case of any emergency, Tingyun can wait outside Sichen Palace so that she can act promptly according to Siduoyukong's instructions.

Just as Hua Yi had previously seen the hidden air retention force field, naval cannons, and monitoring sensors on the main body of the Immortal Ship through the train window, even before he had a chance to properly stroll through the streets, the characteristics of a top-tier power were already evident in the details.

This behemoth operates with 500 precision, with every gear playing its role.

The Black Tower space station is a well-known gathering place of intelligence in the universe, but it is, after all, a museum-style ship with a vastly different size.

And let alone the city of Belleburg, even at its most prosperous time, Arillow-VI was far inferior to Xianzhou.

The true headquarters of the [hunting]

Constantly diverting a portion of their attention to "chew" on the ripples of destiny spreading through the air, Hua Yi and Ji Zi entered the Si Chen Palace.

Sizhuo Yukong stood gracefully in the center of the hall.

With blue hair and purple eyes, and a slender figure, she is a beautiful fox-woman like Tingyun, but she looks more mature and carries a sense of authority.

She was in charge of one of the six major departments of Luofu, a rank that was second only to a general.

Considering the revered status of the Immortal Boat Alliance in the universe, the helmsman's power undoubtedly surpasses that of the Great Guardian of Beloborg.

However, unlike when Cocolia received the extraterrestrial visitors, this Sky Master's calm expression revealed a hint of gentleness, which subtly shortened the distance between the two parties.

It was far more formal and polite than the usual stuff.

"Greetings, passengers of the Star Train. Tingyun has relayed some information to me regarding the potential stellar core disaster on the Luofu Immortal Ship, but it was somewhat brief."

"We don't know much either."

Hua Yi took out his smart terminal, activated the holographic projection, and openly played the previous scenes from the train's observation carriage.

"Star Core Hunter Kafka initiated a communication to share this news. The Skymaster can check it himself."

"..."

A wanted criminal from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, in order to obtain a star core, specifically asked the Starry Sky Train to change its destination and come to the Luofu Immortal Ship?

There are too many suspicious points.

However, Yu Kong did not intend to question them on the spot. While watching the holographic projection, he carefully observed the train crew.

On March 7th, a girl who was clearly on guard, wore her heart on her sleeve.

Star looked around curiously, like a curious little child.

Himeko, the navigator who appeared in the eyes of various powers along with the Star Train that resumed its voyage through space.

There's also Hua Yi, who once withstood an attack by the antimatter legion at the Black Tower Space Station and gained the favor of geniuses.

Even though the Immortal Ship Alliance mainly focuses on hunting abundant monsters and does not deliberately collect information about various star systems, Yu Kong had heard about the turmoil at the Black Tower Space Station.

"I understand and believe in the spirit of the nameless travelers who explore the universe and help others. First of all, on behalf of the Luofu Immortal Ship, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all."

"It sounds like there's more to come."

"The celestial vessel has sailed for eight thousand years and has seen countless crises and annihilations. It also has a way to deal with the star core. The distinguished passengers of the train need not worry about this."

"If Luofu can solve the problem on its own, that would be best."

"The veracity of the information provided by the Star Core Hunter cannot yet be confirmed, but Luo Fu will increase its vigilance and conduct a covert investigation."

"I understand. If the Cloud Cavalry were to openly search the entire Immortal Ship just because of a single word from a Star Core Hunter, causing widespread panic, and if the news turned out to be false, the consequences would be disastrous."

Having directly pointed out Yu Kong's considerations, Hua Yi did not intend to drag things out any further regarding the Star Core issue.

"It's good that the Immortal Ship has received this information."

"Mr. Hua Yi is upright and honest, and it would be best if he could understand Luofu's position. In any case, we have already received the goodwill of the Starry Sky Train and should repay it. Since you have traveled here, why not stay for a while and let Tingyun be your guide to learn about the local customs and culture of Luofu? Tianbo Company will arrange accommodations for you."

"Thanks for the hospitality."

Hua Yi didn't stand on ceremony.

He knew that the crisis on the Immortal Ship wouldn't be easy to overcome, so staying here and waiting would allow him to analyze [Hunting] and [Abundance].

March 7th evoked a strong sense of déjà vu.

When we first arrived in Belloberg, Hua Yi went straight to the point and explained the dangers of the star core to Cocolia. She started to dodge the question and then had the train crew stay at the Goethe Hotel.

Yu Kong has now clearly stated that the Immortal Ship will be on guard, but has declined the Starry Sky Train's offer of assistance.

Well... theoretically, the train crew can't really help much if the star core doesn't explode. They can't just take action on their own and interrogate each of the Celestial Ship people.

As for conducting a thorough search, that's also impractical.

The Luofu Immortal Ship is larger than a planet and contains numerous caves built with cutting-edge technology. If investigated using normal methods, let alone finding suspicious persons, it would take an unknown amount of time to explore the entire ship on foot.

Even so, this Sky-Soaring Master still gives off a bit of a familiar vibe.

The one corrupted by the star core in Beloberg is Cocolia, so could the one corrupted by the star core in Luofu be Yukong?

She is neither the general of the fairy ship nor the messenger of the hunt.

Therefore, there is a possibility that it could be silently eroded by the star's core.

Clever March felt a warning bell ring in her heart, her eyes darting around, staring intently at Yu Kong.

It is reasonable to suspect that her arm under her sleeve was frozen.

Should I try to catch it and see?

It seems reckless.

Oh, right! Himeko mentioned that when she stayed in the upper district, she made coffee for Cocolia and found that she drank it all in one gulp and even praised the coffee as delicious, thus confirming that the Great Guardian had lost her sense of taste.

"Lord Yukong, would you like some coffee?"

"?"

The pink-haired girl's seemingly random question startled Yu Kong.

"Xianzhou Beverages mainly focuses on tea; I don't drink much coffee."

"Want a cup? Try the coffee that Himeko-neechan makes!"

Chapter 309 You're too strong, Lord Yu Kong!

On the Luofu Immortal Ship, all matters concerning airspace, navigation, and trade were under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Ship Administration.

As the helmsman, Yu Kong undoubtedly holds a high position and wields great power.

Her ability to temporarily step away from her busy schedule to personally receive the train crew was an expression of goodwill in itself.

Having been in charge of the Sichen Palace for so many years, Yu Kong was naturally very knowledgeable. Seeing San Yueqi's shifty eyes and the way he seemed to be plotting something, he immediately found it suspicious.

However, the Star Train should have no reason to be hostile to the Immortal Boat Alliance.

It couldn't be that some nameless traveler from Tuoyu Xingtian crossed the Milky Way to Luofu just to poison the Sky Ship's captain.

From a purely rational perspective, this makes no sense.

It would be more appropriate for the followers of Chang Le Tian Jun to do this.

Fox people are a long-lived species. In addition to having a significantly longer average lifespan than ordinary people, their physical qualities are also beyond common sense. Ordinary poisons are completely ineffective against fox people.

The fact that Youyun Tianjun's rainbow chariot arrived at the hunting base camp to assassinate high-ranking officials with whom he had no prior dealings is illogical and lacks motive.

Let's think of it as a culture of exploration, just like how the Immortal Boat Alliance has its own names for the Star Gods. We need to understand and respect each other.

"Good work."

Yu Kong did not refuse, and at the same time ordered someone to make tea, wanting to take this opportunity to show some hospitality as the host.

The Luofu Immortal Ship tours the universe, with no intention of gaining benefits from the Star Train or from Hua Yi, who holds a special position at the Black Tower Space Station, but that doesn't prevent it from making friends.

In the Xianzhou culture, the hunting star god is revered as the Emperor Bow Master, and the abundant star god is called the Ancestor of Longevity, Plague, and Calamity. These titles reflect the emotions of the Xianzhou people.

Even if foreign merchants who believe in abundance board Luofu, as long as they are not inhuman madmen and abide by the law, the Immortal Ship is still willing to treat them as usual.

Moreover, Lord Youyun was not the ancestor of all evil.

Its complex and long history has given Xianzhou its own worldview and way of hospitality.

"..."

Yu Kong only needs to smile and nod; Himeko has much more to consider.

She gave the self-righteous March 7th a reproachful look. Being in the Tianbo Bureau, she couldn't very well tap March 7th on the head in front of outsiders, so she could only give her a heads-up beforehand.

"Because of personal preference, the coffee I brew may be a bit bitter."

Either don't soak at all, or if you do, make it your own unique way, and you can definitely use this opportunity to determine Yu Kong's physical condition.

"It's alright. Miss Himeko, there's no need to worry. Although I am a ship captain, my daily life is no different from that of an ordinary person, and I do not pursue luxury."

They were telling the truth while thinking it was just politeness and responding politely.

Hua Yi was watching the spectacle.
