Preparing to Travel to Honkai Star Rail (Please Recommend, Vote, and Follow)

After Liangbing and A Tuo left, Wang Lei got moving as well. He had just bragged about playing a one-for-one game with Liangbing, so he needed to keep a close watch on her actions. It would be awkward if she killed someone and he did not even know about it.

Actually, during Liangbing's day of experiencing ordinary life, keeping tabs on her was quite easy. As long as Liangbing remained within Hua Xia, she behaved like an ordinary person, at most using Micro Wormholes to travel between cities. She did not deliberately avoid cameras. Wang Lei only needed to use Aether Encoding to hack into Hua Xia's Street Cameras and quickly locate her.

Liangbing was quite amusing. After leaving Wang Lei's little shop, she first went to a massage parlor for a massage. There definitely were no cameras there. Though it was a legitimate massage establishment, customers were basically naked in the private rooms. If Wang Lei dared to peep, he would be instantly 404'd by the River Crab God.

However, Wang Lei remembered this part of the plot. Liangbing seemed quite satisfied with the older woman serving her and had even considered giving her a Devil's Body. Unfortunately, the masseuse only wanted to make money, and her biggest dream was merely becoming a famous star. If Liangbing had said she would give her a Devil's Body, she might actually have agreed.

After the massage, Liangbing strutted into an upscale clothing store like a nouveau riche, looking completely out of her depth. She packed up one of every type of outfit, then paid with stacks upon stacks of cash. No one knew where she had gotten all that money.

After buying clothes, she went to play mahjong with some bored rich ladies, and along the way, she encountered a scammer. Honestly, Wang Lei rather admired the scammer. At least Wang Lei himself did not have the courage to scam the Demon Queen. All he could say was that ignorance was fearless. In the end, this unlucky fellow was sent by A Tuo through a Micro Wormhole straight to Liangbing.

However, Liangbing did not kill the human who had dared to scam her. She merely had A Tuo strip him naked and dump him in an alley. Wang Lei thoughtfully used Ether Teleportation to send the scammer directly to the nearest police station, while also tidying up the explanation for why he had ended up like this and sending over a note with him.

The scammer genuinely thought he had done too much evil and run into a ghost, so he confessed to everything. He said he had scammed people to get money to pay off gambling debts, and that he had started gambling to earn money to buy drugs. The police officer interrogating him felt that a major commendation was not far off.

By the time Liangbing finished playing mahjong, it was nearly evening. She directly found a barbecue stall, bought some skewers, and started chatting with the uncle running it. She lectured him on her philosophy of life, looking exactly like a pyramid scheme recruiter. The poor man came away thinking he had met a lunatic. Even after Liangbing left, he muttered to himself about how unfortunate it was that such a pretty girl had gone mad at such a young age.

Finally, Liangbing found a library and read some human definitions of demons and corruption. She was instantly enraged. In the original story, she had used Dark Energy here to strangle an innocent onlooker to death.

Wang Lei paid particular attention to this part. When Liangbing entered the library, he used Gap Movement to arrive in a nearby area. As long as Liangbing showed any intention of killing someone, he would step in and save them. Whether they fought or made peace afterward could wait until after he had saved the person.

Sure enough, Liangbing did not read for long before exploding in anger. She smashed books all over the floor and vented by using Dark Energy to grip the neck of an onlooker in the library.

But just as Wang Lei prepared to activate Ether Teleportation and save the passerby, Liangbing did not snap his neck as she had in the original story. Instead, she simply hurled him to the ground. Judging from the cameras, the man had broken at most a few bones, but his life was not in danger.

After venting, Liangbing ran off through a Micro Wormhole. Wang Lei ended his surveillance and returned to the shop.

At that moment, Wang Lei had never felt the importance of strength so intensely. It could be said that if he had not threatened Liangbing today, both the scammer and that onlooker would probably have died.

It reminded Wang Lei of a saying: to oppose nuclear weapons, one must possess nuclear weapons. In this era, gods were nuclear weapons. Because of his own deterrence, Liangbing did not dare kill people as she pleased.

Of course, Wang Lei knew full well that this was only while Divine Keisha had not yet fallen. Once Divine Keisha died, Liangbing would definitely target him without restraint and settle the score for his previous ambush.

Therefore, Wang Lei had to rapidly improve his strength. At the very least, he needed the ability to fight back against Liangbing at her peak, with Demon One backing her. If all he could do when facing Liangbing was run, then once he had no Energy Points left to summon Teyvat's Demon Gods, he would truly trigger the keyword: "I can't do anything."

Wang Lei decided to scout out the Star Rail World and see if he could obtain something on the same level as Demon One's Judgment Bombardment or Heavenly Blade Seven's Heavenly Blade Judgment. For example, weapons from other advanced civilizations that were never mentioned in the game. At the very least, he needed something capable of defending against Taotie's Ferocious Tide.

In principle, as long as something existed in the Star Rail World, the system could exchange it for Energy Points. Looking at the weapon list that ran for who knew how many pages, Wang Lei practically drooled.

However, anything at the Star Shattering Level or Weapons that Exterminate Civilizations on Planetary Surfaces cost over a hundred million points. And that was only the price of a single weapon; launch platforms and supporting firing programs were charged separately. The simpler the detonation method, the more expensive it was.

With that many Energy Points, Wang Lei might as well save up a little more and exchange them for a better Star Destroyer. At least its weapons would definitely be enough to handle the Taotie. A Star Destroyer Cannon would also pose some degree of threat to Demon One.

So, for anything he could obtain with Credits in the Star Rail World, he should not use Energy Points. The proper path was to hurry into the Star Rail World and cling to Asta's rich-lady thigh.

A standard Serenitea Pot, according to the system's description, could hold roughly an entire She Mountain. It only cost 80,000 Energy Points, which Wang Lei could afford even now.

Even the largest version, which could hold half a moon, cost only 20 million Energy Points. Compared to the basic version, its capacity was greater by more than a hundred million times, yet its price was only 250 times higher. The system had always priced things that could not directly improve combat power or knowledge quite cheaply.

With that kind of space, wouldn't it be better for Wang Lei to use Credits to buy a planetary defense system from Asta and install it inside? The Interstellar Peace Corporation was absolutely professional when it came to custom planetary defense systems. They were an organization that aspired to serve as supply troops for the Preservation Star God Clipper, and had persisted in that goal to this day.

Moreover, the Interstellar Peace Corporation certainly had no shortage of bombs specifically used in space to blow up obstructing asteroids. If Wang Lei got a few more, he could play dirty and use Gap Movement to toss them directly into Demon One. If Demon One's internal structure was as tough as its external shields, then so be it.

The more Wang Lei thought about it, the more he decided he needed to visit the Star Rail World quickly. Asta's thigh was not so easy to cling to. He first needed to understand her needs, then become a targeted middleman.

Thus, after returning to his little shop, Wang Lei impatiently selected the option in the system to travel to the world of Honkai Star Rail.
