I Play Stat-Sticks in Honkai: Star Rail

The moment the index finger tapped down, the massive creation engine let out a piercing grinding sound, and the ice and snow covering his body began to shake off.

"Perfect!"

Haxxor Bunny clapped her hands in satisfaction as she looked at the parameters and images on the scan monitor.

Just then, the door to Natasha's clinic was pushed open, and Natasha walked in from outside.

Upon entering the clinic, she saw Bronya standing there, turning to look at her.

"Who are you?"

Natasha knew very well she hadn't seen this person before, but she wondered why they were in her clinic.

Conversely, the moment Bronya saw Natasha, her first reaction was:

"Raven?!"

But in the next moment, she snapped back to reality.

This wasn't Sky Dome City; it was a universe where Aeons existed, as Liuge had said.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Bronya, I'm Liuge's... Liuge's cousin!"

Bronya felt a bit awkward saying she was Liuge's cousin.

It wasn't that Bronya disliked Liuge; it was just that upon opening her eyes to see a stranger and an unfamiliar place, her instinct was to be wary.

Now that she knew her relationship with Liuge, she no longer felt that guardedness. In fact, she felt that she and Liuge were in the most trusting relationship.

"Liuge's cousin?"

Natasha looked at the punk-styled girl before her and inexplicably thought of a gamer girl.

However, she still spoke with a hint of caution, "Then where is Liuge?"

Natasha didn't actually have much trust in the member of the Astral Express crew who had arrived here wearing Iron Guard armor.

"I don't know. He left me here and told me to follow someone named March 7th. As for him... I don't know where he's wandered off to."

From the faint connection she felt, Bronya sensed that Liuge's location was very, very far from her. And when she had scanned the entire planet just now, she hadn't found any trace of Liuge.

"Is that so?"

Natasha nodded slightly and walked in.

As for the Liuge they were talking about, he was currently sitting on the deck of a spaceship, looking dumbfounded, staring at a fox person with a distinctly ancient aesthetic and a demure appearance...

031 Liuge is a Xianzhou Citizen?!

Compared to Haxxor Bunny's situation in Belobog, Liuge was even more bewildered.

He thought he would randomly spawn in a region of Jarilo-VI, but instead, he was thrown off the planet and ended up on some random spaceship... Oh, no, it was a space gondola.

Liuge looked at this large ship, reminiscent of the Ming Dynasty, and then at the starry sky outside the ship's protective shield, falling into silence.

Such an ancient-style space gondola, traveling through the universe.

It was most likely a merchant ship from a Xianzhou.

However, this thought was confirmed by Liuge within a minute.

"Sir, could you explain why you are on our Minghuo Merchant Guild's ship?"

The fox-person woman, dressed in a red and white Hanfu, as pure and elegant as an immortal descending to earth, was currently fanning herself, half-hiding her face, but her gaze was fixed on Liuge.

Liuge recognized her. This woman before him was Tingyun, who in the game had her identity replaced by the Lord of Ruin Phantylia.

Honestly, when he saw that head-tilting scene back then, Liuge had been drinking black tea, and he'd ended up spitting it all out.

However, the Tingyun presented before Liuge now was clearly the real Tingyun.

"This... I don't know. I just opened my eyes and I was here."

Liuge was truly bewildered. He had simply closed his eyes and opened them again, only to be randomly transported to another unfamiliar place.

The first time it was Herta Space Station, and this second time it was directly onto a Minghuo Merchant Guild ship.

It was ridiculous.

Tingyun listened to Liuge's explanation, lowered her fan, and smiled, showing no sign of displeasure.

"I see. It seems, sir, that you have your reasons."

"Ahaha..."

Liuge chuckled awkwardly, a little embarrassed.

"May I know your name, sir?"

Tingyun's eyes narrowed slightly at this point.

No matter how good her disposition was, she would still be wary of an unknown man who suddenly appeared on the merchant ship.

"My name is Liuge. How should I put it, I'm probably a Xianzhou citizen too."

Chuckling awkwardly, Liuge introduced himself.

Upon hearing this, Tingyun beckoned a subordinate and whispered something in their ear before looking back at Liuge.

"Please wait a moment, young master. Although you seem friendly, for merchant ships like us, we still need to be cautious."

Liuge understood what she meant.

Essentially, she had already sent her subordinates to investigate, and until they knew his background, he should just stay put.

Liuge sighed but didn't object.

After all, he had been randomly sent here, and in essence, he was probably an illegal immigrant.

"That's natural."

Of course, Tingyun's attitude was already very good.

If it were any other merchant ship, a stranger like him who suddenly appeared would have been apprehended immediately and forcibly detained until they reached Xianzhou before any investigation would begin.

Tingyun, however, had only asked Liuge to wait there, without any hint of forceful apprehension, which Liuge felt was giving him plenty of face.

Liuge closed his eyes slightly and was surprised to find that his vision, after closing his eyes, was actually connected to Haxxor Bunny on Belobog.

"Holy crap, it can do that?"

He murmured to himself.

"Hm? Liuge?"

The sudden voice made Liuge freeze.

Could his consciousness communicate with Haxxor Bunny over there?

At the same moment, Liuge vaguely sensed that in this state, as long as he wanted to, he could forcibly seize control of Haxxor Bunny.

It was equivalent to him controlling remotely, or watching Haxxor Bunny act and giving her suggestions.

Was this the true purpose of having a clone?

After a moment of thought, Liuge reached a conclusion.

This was basically letting him be the mastermind, right?

Haxxor Bunny would take all the blame, and he could go wild as much as he wanted?

At this moment, Liuge noticed that Haxxor Bunny had already met up with March 7th and the others, and Land Duck seemed to have gone to the upper district.

Wait, things happened this fast while I was being dumped over here?

Not only was the issue of Land Duck going up to question resolved, but according to the plot, even Svarog's situation was resolved?

"Liuge, where did you go?"

Bronya asked, confused. She was following March 7th and the others, preparing to head to the upper district.

"I'm on a spaceship outside the universe right now. I was inexplicably dumped over here."

Liuge replied helplessly.

"Can you tell me what happened while I was gone?"

Liuge was very curious. How were two key plot points resolved in such a short time?

"Are you referring to Svarog or the me who looks almost identical to me but is bigger?"

"Let's talk about Svarog first."

Liuge pondered for a moment before replying.

"That robot? It's very simple. I directly hacked into its program and found some locked program data. After unlocking it, it stopped obstructing Wildfire's actions. I saw that its program was quite old and unstable, so I directly upgraded its version."

Bronya replied indifferently and looked behind her.

Behind everyone, a burly robot, with a small girl with white hair and red eyes on its shoulder, was following the group.

However, Liuge felt something was off.

Why did Svarog's physique seem to have gotten bigger?

But Liuge gave up thinking about it. He sincerely exclaimed, "As expected of Haxxor Bunny."

She easily accomplished what others couldn't.

"What about Land Duck?"

"Land Duck?"

"The bigger version of me."

"Her? It seems she learned something unbelievable. When I met up with them, she had already left."

Liuge fell silent.

This progress was too fast.

Just as Liuge was about to ask something else, Tingyun, who was beside him, spoke.

Liuge opened his eyes and looked at Tingyun.

"Young master, we have just confirmed your identity. You are indeed a citizen of Xianzhou, and specifically from our Luofu Xianzhou."

Hearing Tingyun's words, Liuge was stunned.

Wait, what did Tingyun say?

"I'm a Xianzhou citizen? From the Luofu Xianzhou?"

"No, aren't I a transmigrator?"

"A transmigrator who arrived at Herta Space Station the moment they transmigrated!"

"Young Master? Young Master? What's wrong?"

Tingyun looked at Liuge's current state with some confusion.

"Can... can you tell me what's going on? I have a bit of amnesia."

"Is that so?"

Tingyun pondered for a moment before speaking.

"You went missing on the Luofu Xianzhou a month ago. Although it was reported, nothing was found. It was as if you vanished into thin air."

"...Just like how I suddenly appeared here?"

"Mhm... yes."

Liuge fell silent.

He had a strange feeling, as if the first place he arrived after transmigrating wasn't Herta Space Station, but the Luofu Xianzhou.

Moreover, it seemed he had an official identity on the Luofu Xianzhou, not an undocumented one.

Damn, why is it getting hotter the more I think about this?

Then, Liuge's gaze at Tingyun suddenly blurred.

Wait, why are there three Tingyuns?

And so, Liuge collapsed and fell asleep under Tingyun's bewildered gaze
