Playing Stat-Sticks in Honkai: Star Rail

Serval's expression was a little anxious, but she still waited for Liuge's answer.

She knew that even if she went to Cocolia now, she wouldn't be able to stop her actions, and it would even limit her own future actions.

"Wait! Wait for us in the Iron Guard Restricted Zone, and if possible, try to win over your brother."

"That's it? Yes, that's it! Maybe you'll even see Cocolia there later."

Liuge thought about the game's plot. Although he didn't know how long it would take to reach that point, it was definitely within this period.

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Serval said.

"Oh, right, do you have a way to get me into the Underground?" Liuge suddenly asked.

"Why do you want to go to the Underground?"

"According to what you said, my companion is already wanted. But if they haven't been caught yet, they've likely entered the area below."

"Is that so!"

Serval was silent for a moment, then looked at Liuge and suddenly smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"I think you just need to change your clothes to go down."

Liuge was stunned and looked down at his clothes.

It was only then that he realized that due to the improvement of his physical fitness, not only had his body become stronger, but he had also grown taller. His previous clothes and pants were tight and uncomfortable, even feeling like they were "hanging."

"You wait. Your physique is pretty much the same as my younger brother's back then. He still has some clothes from when he was in the Iron Guard."

Half an hour later, Liuge, dressed in Iron Guard uniform and holding an axe-spear, walked to the entrance of the cable car leading to the Underground.

"Halt!"

The two Iron Guards standing at the entrance immediately stopped Liuge.

"What's wrong?" Liuge asked, feigning the tone of an Iron Guard.

"Brother, don't you know? The Supreme Guardian has issued an order. Three days ago, the cable cars to the Underground and Belobog were suspended."

Seeing Liuge's bewildered expression, the two Iron Guards explained.

"Oh, I really didn't know. I've been training in the restricted zone recently."

"I see, that makes sense," the two Iron Guards nodded.

"But, brother. I can't help it, I have to go down."

"What's wrong?"

"I have three siblings waiting for me to deliver medicine."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"It's like this, there are four siblings in my family, but my three siblings are all sick."

"Sick?"

"Yes, they're sick. My brother was stabbed several times by his friend last year, and his facial nerves are paralyzed. My third sister is a bit slow, so I need to send her some walnuts to help her brain. As for my fourth sister, she has amnesia now and doesn't even recognize her own mother."

Liuge raised the bag in his hand with a look of sorrow. Although it was a black bag, one could generally see that it contained several small boxes.

The two Iron Guards fell silent upon hearing Liuge's words.

How miserable, how truly miserable! This brother has it really tough! He probably came to serve in the Iron Guard just to take care of his younger siblings.

Thinking this, the two Iron Guards exchanged a look, gritted their teeth, and moved aside.

"Brother, we can see you're having a hard time. We'll make an exception for you this once and let you go down. But be careful, the people down there don't welcome us Iron Guards right now."

The Iron Guard on the right patted Liuge's shoulder with sympathy. The one on the left didn't say anything but still silently moved out of the way.

Seeing their expressions, Liuge thanked them repeatedly and then, under their sympathetic gazes, walked down the entrance and activated the cable car to the lower level.

Meanwhile, in the lower level, March 7th and the others were in Natasha's clinic discussing their next course of action.

After all, they were now thoroughly wanted on the surface, and there seemed to be no effective way to break through the situation.

"Ugh, this is so annoying! Where on earth did Liuge run off to?" March 7th stomped her foot in annoyance.

To be honest, she still didn't know why they were being wanted.

It's frustrating. We were talking fine with the Supreme Guardian, but as soon as we came out, we were put on the wanted list.

"She's probably still in the upper levels!"

Dan Heng spoke slowly.

"Honestly."

March 7th sighed and pushed open the door to Natasha's clinic.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Stelle rummaging through a trash can not far away and was completely stunned.

Ever since they arrived in this city, Stelle had inexplicably developed a habit of going through trash cans.

When March 7th asked her about it, Stelle had solemnly replied that there were glittering spots on the trash cans that made her unable to resist rummaging through them.

"Stelle, you're at it again!"

"Yo, March! Look what I found!"

As she spoke, Stelle held up something that looked like a scale, but with a pillar in the middle shaped like a person giving a thumbs-up. It was quite strange.

"What... is this?"

"I don't know!"

Stelle's answer left March 7th speechless.

"Perfect, you're all here. Hurry up and follow me, Wildfire is fighting with the Mechanus again!"

"Whaaaat?!!!"

024 Mechanus Descent?

While March 7th and the others were heading to the organization's conflict.

Liuge had already taken a special small passage for transporting supplies to the lower levels.

As soon as he stepped out, he was immediately surrounded by a group of people.

"It's the Silvermane Guards!"

"Damn it, how dare these guys come down here!"

"Beat him!"

Hearing their words, Liuge was sweating profusely.

However, instead of retaliating, he rushed out in a single stride. He was so fast that these people didn't even have time to react before he disappeared from their sight.

While maintaining his extreme speed, Liuge also observed his surroundings.

In the story, the lower levels were vast but also chaotic and the terrain was very complex.

But in Liuge's opinion, these lower levels weren't really that big.

As for why they felt so large in the story, it was probably due to the terrain.

After observing for a while, Liuge's gaze locked onto a building that resembled a clinic.

"That must be Natasha's clinic!"

Thinking this, the image of Raven flashed through Liuge's mind.

Damn it, not that Natasha!

He shook his head fiercely, casting the distracting thoughts out of his mind, and calmly leaped down from the rooftop, landing at the entrance of Natasha's clinic.

Just as Liuge was about to push the door open, a gentle voice sounded from behind him.

"Sir Guard, what brings you to my clinic?"

Although the voice was gentle, Liuge could detect a hint of coldness in it.

"I'm sorry, I'm actually not a Silvermane Guard."

Liuge turned his head and looked at the woman behind him.

The woman was dressed in clothes like a battlefield medic, with her blue hair tied back with a red ribbon, and a small toy bear hanging from her waist.

It was Natasha, who was also the hidden leader of the Wildfire organization in the lower levels. The overt leader was Oleg, a former captain of the Silvermane Guards.

The two of them had clearly defined roles, arranging everything in the lower levels from behind the scenes.

"Oh?"

Natasha sized Liuge up, her eyes clearly filled with distrust.

At this moment, Liuge also took off his helmet, revealing his face.

Young and handsome.

That was Natasha's first thought, but she took a step back.

Wait, are you serious about taking a step back?

Liuge opened his mouth, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness.

"Hello, Ms. Natasha. If you've already met with March 7th and the others, you should know me."

"You're Liuge? The fourth companion who got separated from March 7th and the others?"

Upon hearing Liuge's words, Natasha immediately understood.

"Yes, I ran into some trouble a few days ago and was unconscious for several days. I only found out about everything that's happened today."

Liuge scratched his cheek, suddenly noticing that quite a few people seemed to have gathered around.

"Excuse me, Dr. Natasha, but I don't think this outfit is very suitable for talking with you here, is it?"

Natasha paused at his words, then looked at the people gathered around. A smile touched her lips.

"I'm not entirely sure what trouble you encountered a few days ago, but you're quite brave to come to Rivet Town dressed like that."

With that, Natasha opened the door to her clinic and led Liuge inside.

"Well, you should know that the passage between the upper and lower levels is sealed. This was the only way I could get down. Of course, I could have forced my way through, but that would have been more troublesome."

"That's true. Wait a moment, I'll find some clothes for you to change into. After all, in Rivet Town, your current attire isn't exactly suitable for going out."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Half an hour later, Liuge, now dressed in a black tracksuit, stretched his body.

"Phew, much more comfortable."

After a brief warm-up, Liuge looked at Natasha.

"Heh, you've got a lot of energy! Just like March 7th."

Liuge smiled, not bothering to refute her statement.

"Speaking of which, where are March 7th and the others?"

"That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about."

"About what?"
