I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"The disasters that Luofu experienced, and its final ending, all deviated from the script."

"Oh?"

“When I first said that the Celestial Ship needed the help of the Star Train to overcome the difficulties and achieve the ideal ending, there would still be many casualties—but you saved everyone.”

Hua Yi met her gaze calmly.

"So, is Miss Kafka more delighted by this, or troubled by the fact that the script is no longer reliable?"

Chapter 387 The Rare Life of a Star Core Hunter

"What do you think?"

Kafka lowered her eyelids slightly and asked Hua Yi with a faint smile.

“Star Core Hunters always act according to the script, following a specific route to find that answer, and seizing the best ending in an unpredictable future—do you think the ending I expect will conflict with what you are doing?”

"So, what does a happy ending look like?"

"I don't know~"

With an elegant yet slightly playful wink, Kaffa's smile deepened.

"The script is no longer accurate, new possibilities have emerged in the future, and every journey you take will affect the ending. All these changes so far have been very surprising."

"Silver Wolf used the credits you gave him to buy a lot of game merchandise. Star is by your side, always excited, moving towards her goal of becoming the Galaxy Baseball Man. And then there's [Sam], whom you haven't met yet, although her body..."

"Anyway, everyone is happy, so what do I have to worry about?"

Aside from their deeds, nothing about the Star Core Hunters is known to outsiders.

Who exactly is the star god they worship, and what do they seek by seizing the star core?

There are countless rumors, but very little credible information.

Hua Yi is probably the first person who, despite not being a Star Core Hunter, can chat with Kafka like this and listen to her pour out her heart.

Perhaps even Silver Wolf and the others had never heard these thoughts.

"It seems like a win-win situation?"

"Hmm~"

After finishing the remaining half cup of milk tea, Kafka was able to focus all her attention on Hua Yi.

"The Grand Diviner used the Qiong Guan Array to calculate my situation and confirm the Star Core Hunter's purpose in coming to Luofu. He also obtained additional information—Fu Xuan may have discovered the discrepancy between the script and reality. You weren't in the script, but you were actually involved in the event."

"I understand what you mean, you think Fu Xuan will pay attention to me because of this?"

"Correct."

“She’s been keeping an eye on this for a while now, so this one thing won’t make a difference.”

Hua Yi shook his head with amusement.

If, after arriving at the Luofu Immortal Ship, one deliberately conceals oneself and does nothing during the previous turmoil, then what Kafka said is indeed a problem.

But in the eyes of the Emperor's Bow General, Hua Yi was already the Emperor's personally appointed messenger.

Whether or not the Six Emperors were qualified to know this inference, the fact that he protected the military officers and defeated Hu Lei alone was astonishing enough.

Furthermore, given the anomalies observed in the Qiong Guan Array divination, it's reasonable to assume that there are some omissions in the Star Core Hunter's script.

Everyone understands that Hua Yi is no ordinary person, but people have their own answers as to just how extraordinary he is, and they are quite certain of them.

Use your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your senses to feel, your thoughts to think, and then draw conclusions.

Who would doubt the facts that they have personally confirmed?

This achieves another balance, the ideal state that was expected.

Of course, this was Hua Yi's expectation.

"It seems you haven't been very well-informed during your stay in Tabusi, Kafka. Otherwise, you should know that my involvement in Luofu wasn't just about being involved in events; I've long been burdened with debts."

“After all, I am a prisoner, essentially imprisoned. The Luofu Immortal Ship is the headquarters of a super power, just like Pierpoint is to the Interstellar Peace Corporation. Silver Wolf can find system vulnerabilities and easily hack into it, but for the parts that really involve key information, she would have to have a cyber attack and defense war with Luofu to get them. It is even more impossible for me to know.”

Kafka leaned against the railing, her delicate hands encased in spiderweb-patterned gloves, her palm supporting her chin, her stunningly beautiful face turned to gaze at Hua Yi.

"So, what did you do in this whole mess?"

Despite wearing a white shirt with a coat over it, she doesn't look bulky at all. Her slender figure accentuates her beautiful curves, and the black leather boots on her feet make Kaffa look even taller and more mature.

It turned out that Hua Yi was just teasing her.

"You really want to know?"

"Yes. People listen to fairy tales when they are young, but gradually they stop listening and stop believing in them. But if reality could have an ending like a fairy tale, of course I would want to know."

"Alright—you can ask Xing after that. I feel like I'm showing off if I say it myself."

He deliberately drew out his words and added a mischievous pause.

Upon receiving Hua Yi's answer, Kafka chuckled silently, not insisting on getting an answer from him.

Once upon a time, there was a planet where, every summer, Kafka would go to see the sea, choosing the time when the tides were at their strongest, and stand far away on the shore.

Until one year, a long viewing boardwalk was built over the sea, and she never went there again.

Is it about appreciating the magnificent scenery itself, or placing oneself in a false sense of danger tinged with uncertainty and trying to experience fear?

Hua Yi's rescue in Luofu is a fait accompli. Looking back from the result to the process, and reflecting on the end, is a rather unique experience for the Star Core Hunter.

"Want to know the next stop for the Star Train?"

"You got a new script?"

"Not yet, but I can show it to you when I get it. I'm curious if knowing the script would bring about even bigger changes."

I don't need a script to predict the future.

Moreover, since one can observe the corresponding destiny through the Destiny Walker, even the truth of the universe can become an object of analysis. When Hua Yi arrived at Taibusi and stood beside the Qiongguan Formation, how could he possibly overlook that formation?

"There are countless possibilities for the future. The array in the Taibu Si is called the Great Evolution Exhaustion Observation, and the script of the Star Core Hunter also has a bit of an exhaustive feel to it. I will just act in the way I like."

"Oh, is that so... Would you like to come shopping with me at the clothing stores in Luofu?"

The new topic is quite unconventional.

"Sure." Hua Yi didn't have anything urgent at the moment.

So they ended up shopping together.

(Denoho) When the Interstellar Peace Corporation issued a warrant for the arrest of a Star Core Hunter and shared relevant information, Kafka's profile stated that she liked collecting coats.

She made no attempt to hide her preferences, making them crystal clear. She had previously deliberately exposed her whereabouts and even encountered some forces that wanted the company's bounty. She had also collected luxury coats to lure Kafka into a trap.

The result is always the same: the prey becomes the hunter, breaking the trap and then happily accepting the coat that was used as bait.

The company's wanted notice could not compel the Immortal Boat Alliance to act, and Luo Fu had already tacitly allowed Kafka to operate on the Immortal Boat, a rare shopping experience.

Where are you taking me?

Kafka gave Hua Yi the complete choice.

"If you really can't find a shop that sells coats, a regular clothing store will do. Buy Xing a few new clothes. Don't tell that navigator, lest she think the Star Core Hunter has ulterior motives and hides all the gifts I've picked out."

Chapter 388 Shopping with Kaffa

Kaffa's words sounded like Star's biological mother and stepmother were scheming against each other.

It just so happens that both she and Himeko are mature and beautiful, so it doesn't seem out of place at all.

So what's the point of Hua Yi and Kafka going shopping now?

They had a purely platonic boyfriend-girlfriend relationship; they hadn't even held hands.

Hua Yi knew where the clothing stores were nearby, and which stores sold coats; he could easily find the relevant information online.

only--

That shop belongs to Tianbo Company.

Further subdividing, it includes the businesses of the Tianbo Siminghuo Chamber of Commerce.

That's right! It's the Minghuo Merchant Guild from Tingyun.

During the brief pause, Hua Yi examined his own behavior.

While Tingyun was busy with the affairs of the Sky Ship Company and sharing the burden of steering and flying, it seemed a bit unfair to his hardworking and capable fox fairy lady, who had been cooking for the train crew these days, to go shopping with other women.

"You're picking out a coat, but I also want to buy some pretty clothes for other girls."

Hua Yi decisively formulated a shopping plan.

Hearing him say that, Kafka's pink eyes were full of smiles.

"You're out shopping with me, but your mind is already wandering to other girls? And by 'other girls,' you're not referring to Xing, are you?"

"We need to buy clothes for Xing, as you mentioned yourself. This is a good opportunity for me to see the Star Core Hunter's aesthetic sense. I'll also pick out a few more for Tingyun."

"I recognize those 140 names. A rising star from the Sky Ship Company, very famous. You've only been in Luofu for a short time, and you're already with the girls here..."

"Ahem, please excuse my poor appearance."

"Haha~"

The two walked along the long street beside the Starship Channel.

Beside it was a comet-tail-shaped streak of light trailing behind a flying chess piece. Along the way, buildings with distinctive fairy ship features were arranged in a regular pattern, with flying eaves and brackets in an antique style. The materials science and engineering knowledge used inside were even more exaggerated than the most advanced technology buildings of most civilizations.

This kind of design, with its rustic exterior and extraordinary inner qualities, can be seen everywhere in Luofu.

The jade tablets that every local resident carries, the array swords that patrol the Cloud Cavalry—some of these items can even be described as simple, but their technological core is more terrifying than the last.

It's hard to say whether to say that the Xianzhou culture has a long history, is timeless and classic, and has always upheld the beauty of simplicity and unpretentiousness, or whether to say that this cultural background is moderate and low-key, to the point of being like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Even though the Immortal Boat Alliance's reputation has long resounded throughout the universe, first-time interstellar visitors are still dazzled by the environment that blends ancient style with futuristic technology.

Kafka was clearly worldly-wise. Following Hua Yi, her gaze was not drawn to jewelry or similar items. The aroma of fried snacks wafted into her nostrils, but it still failed to tempt her.

Hua Yi just brought her a lot of food and drinks, and now Ms. Star Core Hunter is full.

A mechanical bird carrying packages flew overhead.

Express delivery and food delivery are both part of Luofu Logistics' operations.

This sophisticated machine, known as the "Clever Bird" in Xianzhou and defined as a drone by Interstellar Peace Company, possesses multiple functions such as automatic pathfinding, identity recognition, and intelligent response.

According to rumors, if the mechanical birds of Luofu were gathered together, equipped with lightweight weapons produced by the Industrial Bureau, and formed into a mechanical army, it would be enough to wipe out most planetary civilizations in the universe.

Load capacity, flight speed, intelligent algorithm logic... all performance aspects are at the top level.

Weapons that could dominate the outside world are merely civilian equipment on the immortal ship, demonstrating the immense power and resources of this superpower.

Hua Yi's destination was an impressive shop.

Carved beams and painted rafters, clouds and stars woven into garments.

The store occupies an area the size of several other shops combined. Two golden puppets stand outside the door, their faces devoid of features, serving as display stands for people to try on the store's clothing.

Kafka looked up and could still see a special logo engraved in the corner of the sign.

The Star Core Hunter went to the Immortal Ship to complete the script, but basic intelligence work still had to be done.

This is the logo of the Minghuo Merchant Guild.

"You want to use Tabusi's account to make money for your girlfriend?"

"Simply because this is the best clothing store nearby, and it's one of the top-tier stores in the entire Luofu Immortal Ship."

There's no need to consider the connection Hua Yi had established with the Tianbo Division, which allowed him to protect Yu Kong from Bu Liren's attack. If needed, Generals Jing Yuan, Huai Yan, and Fei Xiao could easily mobilize countless patrols with a single command.

Even if it's the Interstellar Peace Company, which is known for its wealth, given the size of the Immortal Boat Alliance, it could still say, "Problems that can be solved with money aren't problems."

Hua Yi led Kafka into the store, declining the fox-woman shop assistant's warm welcome and saying that he would choose the clothes himself and did not need her to introduce them.

The store is spacious, and you can continue chatting freely without any staff following you.

"Since we're bringing gifts, we can't exclude Himeko and Mitsuki from the gift set, since we all live together. It would be a bit awkward if everyone in the family got a gift but Hiu was left out—we might as well buy them all."
