Chapter 550

Come on, you were acting all old-fashioned before, how come you're trying to act all young now!

No, I still can't accept being called "uncle" by a girl who looks to be my age.

"Oh, is that so?"

After looking at Lin Yu and Lin Yi with a slightly puzzled expression, March 7th suddenly squatted down and asked Lin Yi in a low voice.

"Xiao Yi, if I remember correctly..."

"—Sister March, I told you, Brother Dan Heng, and Sister Xing before that I really am ten years old."

"Well, a ten-year-old daughter, and Lin Yu, you're twenty-eight, which means..."

After a quick calculation, March 7th covered his mouth in utter astonishment.

"You got married when you were eighteen?!"

No, that's not the case.

After glancing at his father, Lin Yu didn't say anything, but he was already mentally ranting about it.

Dad went to deal with the Cocoon of Finality and didn't return to us for three years.

Later, although he and his Mom each held separate weddings, it was all when I was four years old.

But I absolutely can't say these things, Dad... he probably wouldn't care.

But after I tell them, the way Sister March, Sister Star, and Sister Himeko look at Dad will definitely be even more strange!

"Regarding this—I think the star core within Miss Xing's body is perhaps more worthy of my attention than these matters, isn't it?"

Seeing that March 7th's gaze immediately turned to her, Xing helplessly rubbed her forehead.

Although she was also concerned about the star core within her body, right now...

In March, this abrupt way of changing the subject actually worked for you.

"Mr. Lin Yu."

Xing, who had always been taciturn, finally spoke up and asked Lin Yu a question after Lin Yu brought up the star core within her body.

"Do you... have a way to solve the problems caused by the star core inside me?"

"Well, there probably isn't a complete solution, but suppressing this star core a little shouldn't be too difficult for me."

Extending his right hand, Lin Yu gently tapped the back of Xing's forehead with his fingertip, which was covered by the Phantasm Lantern Barrier, and then smiled at Xing.

"How are you feeling now?"

"I feel... much better???"

Ever since he was first seen by Him, Xing has felt that the energy within him is in a state of instability.

Although she hasn't felt uncomfortable in this situation yet, who knows what the future holds?

As a result, Lin Yu suppressed the problem that Xing considered very serious with a simple gesture.

In an instant, Xing, who had previously been unsure how to face Lin Yu, now looked at him with gratitude and respect.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin Yu."

"Just call me Lin Yu —I don't think all these complicated titles are necessary."

After confirming that the Phantasm Lantern Barrier was functioning properly on Xing, Lin Yu withdrew his fingertips.

Over the past seven years, Lin Yu has mastered the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to an unparalleled level, and can now ensure that the Phantasm Lantern Barrier continues to function normally even after being cast on other people.

The Phantasm Lantern Barrier he released on Xing, after being modified by Lin Yu, only had two abilities left: 'weakening energy intensity' and 'resisting mental attacks to a certain extent'.

Although weakening the energy intensity would prevent the star from using the full power of its core.

However, considering that she was originally unable to fully unleash this power, after suppressing a portion of the power of the star core, Xing's control over the remaining star core power actually increased slightly.

As for the protective measures related to mental strength, Lin Yu definitely plans to add them for more than just Xing.

On the grand stage of the galaxy, encountering anything strange or unusual is not surprising.

Even setting aside Penacony's dream, they might encounter those strange hallucinogenic insects in the future, just like in the original story.

To be honest, considering the unpredictability of hallucinations caused by insects, Lin Yu didn't want to see the people on the Stellaron Hunters going crazy over insects...

The thought of this scene was incredibly eerie to him.

In addition, considering that Xing has a star core in her body no matter what, if something really happens to her and the star core explodes, Xing and the people around her will probably be seriously injured or even killed, except for those with enough power. So from now on, Lin Yu felt that he should pay a little more attention to this unlucky girl.

See, if you're going to flirt with a girl, you need to come up with a good reason.

Come on, I was taking the photo for the safety of the people around me.

[Hypocrisy—this is clearly your goal to increase the girls' favorability!]

Having just gone through so much, she's clearly still in a daze. Right now, anyone who treats her well will quickly win her heart!

The reason she quickly became so close to the Stellaron Hunters group in the original story was clearly because—

It's obviously because everyone on the train is a great person and easy to get along with. What are you thinking?

That's right.

However, this doesn't prevent this system from speculating that since no one in the original work treated her with affection as a man, then now—

You should keep it to yourself.

I am a person destined for great things.

Doing great things and being a hero are not mutually exclusive!

Get lost, I'm not going to waste any more words, or they'll think I'm daydreaming again.

"But then again..."

Seeing a strange glint in the girl's eyes, Lin Yu added to Xing.

"Although I helped you suppress the power of the star core, it doesn't mean I've completely solved the problem for you."

"I don't know if you like Herta, but if she wants to study star cores, you'd better cooperate with her."

"No matter what, this person is undoubtedly a genius. If there is anyone in this galaxy who can help you get rid of the trouble in your body, then she is most likely one of them."

"... I see."

Xing, who had just thought she wouldn't have to see that weirdo again, looked noticeably disappointed after hearing Lin Yu's words.

As for Lin Yi, who was watching from the side, she didn't want to say anything more.

She was absolutely certain that her father had no such thoughts.

The problem is that he has enough concern for innocent young girls, and he also possesses a handsome face and the charm of a mature man...

I don't know what to say. As a little kid, I'd better not say anything.

Considering that many Mom and other women develop a liking for their fathers as soon as they meet them, it's not impossible for him to call her "Mom" after three weeks.

"Hmm, Lin Yu... never mind, I'll call you that too."

Seeing that the atmosphere between Lin Yu and Xing was becoming increasingly strange, March 7th suddenly spoke to Lin Yu.

"Anyway, you must be very strong, right? Thinking about it that way..."

"—Wouldn't this help us avoid a lot of trouble when we expand in the future?!"

Seeing March 7th's jubilant expression, Himeko hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

She really wanted to tell March 7th not to think so highly of things, and at the same time, she also wanted to tell Lin Yu privately to restrain his strength a little when expanding.

While the Stellaron Hunters cannot avoid using force during its expansion, using force during expansion is different from resorting to force to suppress from the outset.

Himeko didn't want Lin Yu to use his powerful military force to directly carry out so-called 'exploration' in a new place after joining the Stellaron Hunters.

This might seem like unnecessary trouble to others, but Himeko still hoped that Lin Yu could tone down his power a little.

"Then I'll call you that—March. Don't rush to fantasize about a future that doesn't exist."

Seeing that March 7th was already noticeably more excited, Lin Yu said helplessly to March 7th.

"My purpose in joining the Stellaron Hunters was, to some extent, to do more good deeds and help more people."

"Yes, yes, it's great that you think that way, Lin Yu."

"So, once we reach other regions, I might not use all my resources to take action—otherwise, what kind of pioneering would it be to just sweep through by force?"

At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly changed his relaxed expression and spoke to March 7th with a serious face.

"Pioneering is something that involves unknown people, but in my opinion, it is also related to the local residents."

"While words without force are meaningless, the ability to resolve issues with minimal force is, in my view, far more convincing."

"I have a sword in my hand because I want to draw it and slash at the enemy when I need to, not because I want to use it to attack other people indiscriminately. This is my personal belief, and I hope you can understand."

"Wow, that's so cool."

Watching March 7th clapping so earnestly, Lin Yu felt...

Sigh, so the person who did this action was on March 7th.

If it were Sparkle or Svarog, he would definitely think the other person was being sarcastic or sarcastic.

[Hehehe, how do you know the person in front of you is March 7th, or Sparkle, Svarog, or some other Masked Fool, or even... aha?]

Stop messing around.

I've only just arrived in this world; I don't want to play any kind of Starry Sky Seclusion of Intent.

[If I don't think about it now, what about later?]

I have precious gems, thank you.

No, come here. Do you think anyone can hide my Dimensional Force from me, given my judgment?

[Hey! Who was it that just said they didn't want to use their power recklessly?!]

I just don't want to use my power to harm others. If you don't use your power to protect yourself, you're not a nobody, you're a fool!

[What a flexible moral bottom line!]

So?

Therefore—this system can truly rest assured.

[You see, since you became a bishop, your integrity and moral standards have declined.]

Although you're still a good person, you've already managed to be even worse than the truly wicked when the time is right. In this situation...

[The future you probably won't suffer too many losses.]

Oh, thank you for the compliment.

However, if possible, I would prefer to use these powers as little as possible.

Himeko, who was watching Lin Yu at this moment, really felt that her new companion... was a little too nice.

After Lin Yu said what she wanted to say, Himeko had a feeling that 'this guy can actually see what I'm thinking.'

However, judging from this point of view, there probably won't be too many troubles in the days spent with him.

This person has sufficient emotional intelligence and IQ, as well as sufficient strength.

This made me increasingly curious about Lin Yu and his daughter...

—What industry did you work in before coming to the space station?

Trailblaze Chapter 8. The Most Nostalgic Episode

The next day, in the Stellaron Hunters carriage

Inside the Stellaron Hunters carriage, Pom-Pom looked at the man she was meeting for the first time, and naturally...

—I don't have any particular thoughts.

As a companion of the star god Acheron, Pom-Pom has seen countless nameless visitors over the years.

The Train Conductor, a seasoned veteran, saw nothing wrong with an unknown passenger like Lin Yu, who only carried a few secrets.
