Jing Yuan: What a Terrible Movie

"Hey, don't make it sound like I'm some kind of Gwen summoner, and my ultimate move is yelling 'Help me, Gwen!'"

March 7th glared at Dan Heng with annoyance.

"But I remember..."

After Gwen dispelled the fatigue and panic following the nightmare, Dan Heng felt much better and had a pleasant conversation with March 7th.

However, a short while later, Xing came over from the observation car and called the group over.

Hoshino was clearly surprised to see Gwen, but she quickly realized what was happening when she saw March 7th.

"By the way, let's all agree that when Himeko votes on whether or not to go, we should all vote against it. I don't want to listen to that wicked woman's instructions."

Upon seeing Xing approach, March 7th remembered his campaign plan and immediately said angrily.

"Even if it really does turn out the way she described?"

Seeing March 7th's sulky little expression, Gwen raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm..."

The idea of celebrating March 7th was originally just a spur-of-the-moment decision. He scratched his head, revealing a hesitant and troubled expression.

"Well... let's just forget about it..."

Although the Xianzhou shouldn't need our help, what if it does?

"Helping as many as we can is good, isn't it?"

However, although he was worried about those who might suffer, March 7th was still extremely displeased with Kafka's attitude of treating everyone as pawns, and looked at Hoshi—

"Speaking of which, according to the Space Station's surveillance footage, she seems to know you?"

Was she always like this?

"She..."

Suddenly faced with this problem, Xing scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and then helplessly shrugged.

"Sorry, I forgot."

"Forehead...

Feel sorry..."

Suddenly remembering that Xing was also an amnesiac March 7th quickly clasped her hands together in apology, then swiftly changed the subject—

"Never mind, let's not talk about her anymore."

"Let's go, Gwen. The carriage's full now, consider it a welcome party."

March 7th said, pulling Gwen along towards the observation car.

"Let's go."

Dan Heng nodded to Xing and followed the two people ahead of her.

Himeko and Pom-Pom were quite welcoming of Gwen's visit, after all, Gwen had helped the train several times, was a friend of Welt Young, and had even brought back news of Pom-Pom's former friend.

"Speaking of which, does someone like me, who doesn't jump on the train but can participate at any time, count as boarding the train?"

"Um...

"How about climbing?"

Upon hearing this question, March 7th pondered for a moment before tentatively speaking.

"Oh...

"Trailblaze isn't such a rigid thing, and the Nameless doesn't have so many complicated rules, like having to eat and live on the train..."

Himeko chuckled softly.

"That's right. Although Gwen passengers did not use the train to jump, they were still moving together with everyone on the train, so they can be considered train passengers."

Pom-Pom also raised her hand to express her opinion.

"In that case, Conductor and navigator, please prepare a ticket for me as well?"

Gwen laughed.

"I already returned the ticket to Tirnan. If they don't give me a replacement ticket, no one will believe me if I go out and say I'm someone from the train."

"Of course, no problem..."

Himeko put down her coffee cup, smiled, and nodded in response.

"I'll prepare it for you after the voting is over. By the way, shall we act together this time?"

Initial contact with people from unfamiliar civilizations, though tedious and prone to misunderstandings, is an indispensable part of Trailblaze.

"That might not work. The experiment at the Herta has reached a critical juncture, and I need to focus my attention there for the time being."

However, if anything goes wrong here, I'll definitely get there immediately.

"Hehe, next time we encounter those unreasonable guys, we can call for backup from the sidelines..."

March 7th, hands on hips in triumph.

"Oh...

In that case, let's start voting.

Should we head to the Xianzhou Luofu next?

The voting results were as expected; the next stop for the Stellaris Train was the Xianzhou Luofu.

"Alright, target Xianzhou —let's go!"

With the target confirmed, March 7th cheered, showing no trace of his earlier resistance.

"Oh..."

Gwen was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed—

"The Herta is urging me to go back and do the experiment. I might not be able to experience the feeling of warp jump until next time..."

"Since it's Ms. Herta's request, let's go first. I'll have Little March send you the train ticket later."

Himeko smiled understandingly.

"That's right, that's right, go ahead! Next time, let's try standing jumps together to see if we can avoid falling!"

March 7th also laughed.

"Remember to take photos and share them with me whenever you see beautiful scenery in March 7th..."

Gwen waved to the passengers on the train and then disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, Gwen was back in Ruan Mei's laboratory.

"Something else has happened?"

When Ruan Mei, who was holding a cup of fragrant tea, saw Gwen, she casually handed the exquisite porcelain to him and asked with concern.

"Yes, the Stellaris Train encountered some unexpected problems and is preparing to detour via the Xianzhou Luofu. I plan to borrow their cable to take Tingyun back."

Gwen took a sip of tea; it was slightly astringent at first, but then left a sweet aftertaste.

"Stellaris Train..."

"Alright, although it's a bit conspicuous, with your abilities, you can infiltrate unnoticed with a well-planned strategy, and it'll be easier to connect with the higher-ups of the Xianzhou— "

Ruan Mei pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and then changed the subject—

"Moreover, it was just announced not long ago that the Xianzhou Luofu encountered a Star Core crisis, which was caused by the Stellarons Hunters, a wanted criminal in the universe."

It seems the Xianzhou has largely calmed down.

Gwen nodded. When a major power of this caliber issues an official announcement, it usually means that it has already restored basic internal stability.

"But the real crisis has only just begun..."

Ruan Mei gently shook her head, her eyes deep and thoughtful.

"Speaking of which, could this be considered a battle you had with that Annihilation Lord from afar?"

Gwen suddenly had a whimsical idea.

"...

Oh...

Certainly."

Ruan Mei smiled, and a different kind of gleam appeared in her eyes as she looked at Gwen ...

"You are my..."

Chapter 902 Jing Yuan: What a terrible movie!

In the magnificent Palace of Astrum, the glazed golden roof and upturned eaves of the Immortal Xianzhou Luofu complement each other beautifully. The ancient-style building is filled with all kinds of futuristic equipment. The classical and the science fiction intertwine here without any sense of incongruity, but only give people a more intense sense of impact.

However, the group on the Stellaris Train, who had been led here, had no interest in appreciating this unique scenery.

The tense and busy work of the Divination Department staff outside made the atmosphere even more tense for them, who were facing the higher-ups of the Xianzhou deep inside the Palace of Astrum.

After arriving at the Xianzhou Luofu, although they weren't immediately wanted, the constant struggle of helping others solve problems while also facing the overt and covert vigilance of the Xianzhou native dampened the girls' initial excitement considerably.

Especially after entering the Palace of Astrum, the cold words of Yukong, one of the six Helmsman of the Divination Department Xianzhou, who suspected that they were related to the Stellarons Hunters, a terrorist organization that was causing trouble on the Xianzhou, made Little March quite dissatisfied.

Even with Gwen's remote comfort and gentle explanation that it was a necessary choice due to his duty, the naive girl was still somewhat unhappy.

Fortunately, this tense and frozen atmosphere did not last long—

Yukong finished playing the bad cop, General Jing Yuan of Luofu, who played the good cop, appeared in the form of a projection and immediately offered a high hat, calming the Astral Express Crew down with a few words.

Although he also refused the Astral Express Crew's involvement in handling the Star Core Crisis, Jing Yuan then asked the Astral Express Crew to help the Xianzhou, saying, "Since we're already here."

Even though Yukong's cold and even harsh attitude was unpleasant, his goodwill and Jing Yuan's friendly attitude, coupled with the magic of "since we're already here," still led the Astral Express Crew to accept the mission assigned by Jing Yuan.

At this moment, the group had arrived at a small reception room deep inside the Palace of Astrum. March 7th, who had been a little angry, was cheered up by the snacks that Jing Yuan had sent over. Jing Yuan was talking with Welt Yang, who was clearly the leader, and Xing, who was quite mysterious in the information.

During his conversation with Xing, Jing Yuan subtly severed ties between the Stellaris Train and the Stellarons Hunters, planting a seed in the heart of this seemingly naive girl and preventing certain potentially disastrous developments.

Finally, Jing Yuan expressed his congratulations and longing for the Stellaris Train to set sail again, which made Xing, who had lost her past Remembrance and was now gradually taking on the role of a member of the Astral Express Crew, feel even more favorably toward her.

"The train had been silent for so long, and now seeing it once again traversing the starry sky, back on track, is truly exhilarating..."

I have other important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer. Farewell.

After expressing his feelings, Jing Yuan prepared to end the meeting, but Jing Yuan, who had been rather quiet during the conversation, suddenly called out to him—

"General Jing Yuan, please wait a moment—"

"Oh?"

Jing Yuan, who thought the arrangements for the Stellaris Train would end there, couldn't help but show interest upon hearing this.

"But is there anything else you need my help with?"

"But feel free to speak."

He would lead the Astral Express Crew here to chat, hoping that the unexpected arrival of the Stellaris Train might bring some turning point—

His old friend in the Stellarons Hunters was clearly hiding something and unwilling to say more. The turning point might lie in the Stellaris Train his colleague had hacked into the Xianzhou System and released.

However, March 7th clearly couldn't keep things to himself. Welt Yang was meticulous in his actions, and the gray-haired girl in front of him, who had been captured appearing with the Stellarons Hunters, seemed to know nothing about it. This made Jing Yuan gradually give up on the idea.

But Xing suddenly spoke up again, which made Jing Yuan even more expectant.

While outsmarting an unknown enemy might be a good pastime, if it comes to the safety of Luofu, Jing Yuan wouldn't mind being a lapdog.

"There is someone who wants to meet with you to discuss an important matter concerning the safety of the Xianzhou."

Star blinked and relayed Gwen's words word by word.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan's eyes lit up immediately—

"Where is this friend now?"

Isn't this exactly why he came all the way here to meet the Stellaris Train crew?

"Please wait a moment, General Jing Yuan, I will summon him immediately."

Looking at the message and items sent by Gwen, Xing blinked her somewhat bewildered golden eyes, but still took two steps back.
