Lin Shuang: I Was Just Thinking, Nobody Wants This Ambrosial Arbor Anyway

[Lin Shuang:... What? What's wrong?]

Lin Shuang had just ended her call with Jing Yuan when she saw a message from March 7th.

At this time?

Are you here to ask about Penacony?

[March 7th: Just now, that wicked woman Kafka suddenly ran onto the Train and said something terrible happened at Xianzhou Luofu! Did you know?]

[March 7th: I remember you said before that you were very close to Luofu?]

[March 7th: We're currently voting on whether or not to go to Luofu. Could you check on the situation for me?]

They're here already?

Lin Shuang was taken aback. In her memory, the Astral Express Crew didn't arrive until two or three days after the core eruption of Luofu Stellaron.

Back then, Cloudford was closed to traffic.

The time was moved up?

Or has the eruption of the Stellaron in Luofu been delayed?

Since the game didn't seem to mention a specific date, Lin Shuang wasn't sure which side it was.

But it's not a big problem; it's not a big deal if it happens a couple of days earlier or later.

[Lin Shuang: I'm in Luofu right now. Something has indeed happened here. A Stellaron suddenly erupted, stimulating the Jianmu (a type of ancient Chinese tree) in the Abundance Jianmu, potentially triggering its Jianmu.]

[March 7th:?]

[March 7th: Sorry, I completely couldn't understand what you were saying after that, but something did happen in Luofu, right?]

[Lin Shuang:... Well.]

[March 7th: Okay! Got it! Thank you, Lin Shuang ~]

[March 7th: [Paimon makes a heart shape with her hands]]

"..."

What do you know?

Lin Shuang was speechless for a moment.

She felt she understood the meaning of the words 'Stellaron explosion' on March 7th.

On the other side--

"We've asked! Lin Shuang said she's in Luofu right now, and a Stellaron did indeed erupt, which she said will cause some kind of disaster. Anyway, it doesn't look like anything good to us."

On March 7th, he nudged his lips and reported the matter to everyone on the Train.

Himeko and Welt exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

Then Himeko spoke:

"Bring Dan Heng here in March 7th."

"Okay, I understand."

March 7th nodded, put away his phone, called out to Xing, and walked towards the Train carriage.

Now that the situation of the Xianzhou is clear, the destination of the next stop should be decided by a vote of the Astral Express Crew.

Should we follow the established plan, or heed Kafka's advice and head to the Xianzhou Luofu?

The two had just stepped through the train carriage door when Xing's phone rang a few times.

I took it out and opened it; the sender's contact name was: [Cyber Wife]

On March 7th, I subconsciously turned my head and glanced at her, and was immediately awestruck.

"My God... Xing, when did you find a boyfriend?!"

Then, on March 7th, upon closer inspection, wasn't that the profile picture Lin Shuang used?!

The way March 7th looked at Xing immediately changed.

"Wait, isn't this Lin Shuang? When did she become your wife?! Wait a minute... you wouldn't have remembered something, would you? Could it be that you and Lin Shuang were together before you lost your memory—"

"Uh... no, not at all."

Xing chuckled and scratched her head. She had really forgotten about it. After that Simulated Universe, she had joked with Lin Shuang and changed her nickname.

Because Lin Shuang didn't hit him. As a result, he kicked his phone into his pocket and forgot about the nickname.

Anyway, that's how Xing explained March 7th.

Whether or not people believe in the March 7th festival is unknown.

After all, under March 7th's watchful gaze, Xing showed absolutely no sign of changing the nickname back.

At Cloudford, Lin Shuang looked at March 7th, who had already logged off.

After thinking about it, I sent a message to Xing to ask.

Then I learned that the Astral Express Crew was deciding whether to go directly to Penacony or to Luofu.

Forget it, since we're coming to Luofu anyway, let's just wait for them here at Cloudford.

The Port of Cloudford is not completely closed this time, and those with special status can still enter.

It seems Silver Wolf won't be needed to open the door this time.

With that in mind, Lin Shuang boarded the Starskiff and explained the situation to the two of them.

Huohuo shook her head repeatedly at the thought of having to face strangers who had come from afar if she stayed.

Tingyun wanted to stay, but she had to go back first to report the situation to Yukong and also write a clearance document for the Star Rail Express.

So the two Foxfolk- girls piloted their Starskiff and went ahead.

Lin Shuang was left alone. She turned around and walked into Cloudford.

At the same time--

The Astral Express Crew voted to approve the proposal to travel to the Xianzhou Luofu.

Paimon naturally had no objections and quickly started the Train.

"Leap is about to begin -- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

The Train unleashed a powerful force in the void, propelling it through the Train that blocked the connection between the two locations.

It seemed to transform into a ray of light, instantly traversing a vast distance.

We arrived at that majestic behemoth— the Xianzhou Luofu.

Volume 1: Chapter 237 Lin Shuang: I figured nobody wanted this Jianmu anyway.

Just as Lin Shuang had predicted, the Star Rail Express arrived very quickly.

Before she even reached the Port, she heard the Star Rail Express's connection request being broadcast over the Cloudford.

When Lin Shuang arrived, on March 7th, Welt and Xing had already boarded the deserted Port.

"Wow... why is there nobody here? It's weird..."

March 7th shrank back and pulled Xing behind Uncle Yang.

Welt frowned slightly and adjusted his glasses.

He felt that his connection application had gone smoothly and he hadn't encountered any problems.

Logically speaking, even with Lin Shuang acting as an intermediary, it would be normal for the Xianzhou to send a few people here to receive them and investigate.

There wasn't a single person there... which was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

And...

" In March 7th, proceed with caution; it seems a battle broke out here not long ago..."

Welt keenly noticed the traces of the behemoth left behind by Bella.

It's different from the original game.

At that time, Cloudford had already closed its port, and the merchant ship that Tingyun was the last one.

Before the incident, the Port of the Xianzhou had a considerable number of Spaceship coming and going.

The people on those Spaceship will naturally have to return.

In fact, most of the people Bella saved were rescued in this area.

Before Bella appeared, this was also the place where the most intense battles broke out.

"Huh? No way... the Fragmentum creatures have already reached this place??"

On March 7th, eyes wide, he looked around. Wasn't it said that the Stellaron on the Xianzhou had just erupted?

Hmm... it shouldn't be.

Welt saw no trace of the Fragmentum's erosion, nor did he see the Xianzhou Alliance's Cave-Heaven Technology.

It's unlikely they wouldn't be able to handle the expansion of the Fragmentum.

"Just keep moving forward and stay alert."

Staying put isn't a good idea either. Since the Train was able to pass the application smoothly, it means that the entire Xianzhou is still operating.

It's probably just that something happened at Cloudford.

Just then, March 7th's cell phone rang.

On March 7th, he shuddered slightly, and under Xing's gaze, he awkwardly pulled out his phone.

"Aha... you scared me! Seriously, who is it that sends me this message at this hour..."

I turned on the screen and looked down, and immediately felt happy again:

"It's Lin Shuang! She said she's at Cloudford and asked where we are. Could she have come specifically to pick us up?"

On March 7th, her fingers tapped rapidly on her phone as she replied to Lin Shuang.

Welt also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Having acquaintances makes things easier. If Lin Shuang weren't there, and he was in an unfamiliar place, he wouldn't know how to proceed.

The meeting of the two groups went smoothly.

The main thing is that there was a path that had been cleared beforehand, so Lin Shuang just had to follow it.

We met the Astral Express Crew at the Port without any problems, and also saw the Star Rail Express parked there.

"Lin Shuang--! I've finally seen her! I haven't seen a single person breathing along the way, it scared me to death."

As soon as they met, March 7th ran up to Lin Shuang, grabbed her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xing, who had been standing quietly beside her, quickly rushed over to Lin Shuang's other side after seeing what March 7th was doing.

After tucking the baseball bat under his armpit, he grabbed Lin Shuang's other arm, just like he did on March 7th.

"..."

Holding Lin Shuang's hand by one person, Lin Shuang was speechless for a moment.

"... You two, get out of here! Are you trying to put on a show?"

"Aha ~ Sorry, sorry."

March 7th chuckled and scratched his head.

Xing also chuckled:

"Aha ~ Sorry, sorry~"

"Hey—don't you dare mimic me!"

On March 7th, with her hands on her hips, she pretended to kick him, and then Xing quickly hid behind Lin Shuang.

Welt, used to the children's antics, adjusted his glasses and formally greeted Lin Shuang on behalf of the Star Rail Express.

"... Speaking of which, what's the current situation with the Xianzhou?"
