The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 120 General, you scoundrel!

"Wow!" Gui Naifen exclaimed in surprise. After seeing the train ticket on Meng Huaifeng's body, she finally confirmed it and excitedly shouted, "You are the nameless passenger of the Starry Sky Train, Meng Huaifeng?"

“I never thought I, Xiao Gui Zi, would meet such a legendary figure in my lifetime. What an honor! It’s like meeting you in three lifetimes!” Gui Nai Fen turned around and put herself and Meng Huai Feng into the camera: “Family, Xiao Gui Zi has made something of herself. She has met the nameless guest in person. How lucky she is!”

Since the Star Train opened up a new world and shook the entire cosmic silver rail, the popularity of the Star Train's nameless passenger in the universe has been countless times higher than before!
Facing the camera, Meng Huaifeng straightened his clothes, sat up straight, and put on a standard smile, waving at the camera: "Hello everyone, what legendary big shot? I'm just an ordinary nobody."

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was just too excited! Please forgive me," Gui Naifen said apologetically.

"It's alright, Gui Naifen, you..."

"You can just call me Xiao Guizi."

"Alright, Xiao Guizi, don't be so polite. Just call me by my name. Which storytelling tale would you like to experience?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"Of course, it's the most popular one, the legendary story of the Five Heroes of the Clouds," Gui Naifen said, then turned to the camera and said, "Family members, did you see that? As expected of the renowned Wumingke, even towards an unknown nobody like me, an ordinary person, he is so approachable. Really, I can feel that this is absolutely not an act, but a genuine and equal treatment of everyone from the bottom of his heart!"

"You flatter me, you flatter me, don't praise me anymore. Give the Chenghui 98 to the teahouse's young proprietress," Meng Huaifeng said cheerfully.

"Young lady, where are you? I can't see you." Gui Naifen turned her head and craned her neck to look in the direction of the teahouse.

"Turn your head back, look down, I'm here!" Meng Ming's angry voice rang out from beside Meng Huaifeng.

Gui Naifen turned around and lowered the live stream angle. Upon closer inspection, she saw Mengming, the young proprietress, peeking out from behind Meng Huaifeng's stall.

It turns out that Mengming saw that Meng Huaifeng's business was booming, so she abandoned her teahouse and came to Meng Huaifeng's place to collect money.

"Ha, sorry, I didn't see it." Gui Naifen stuck out her tongue.

"You're not alone!" Mengming gritted her teeth and slapped Meng Huaifeng. "Can't you set up your stall a little lower?"

“I’m taller than you even when I’m sitting down, what can I do?” Meng Huaifeng smiled and shrugged, suggesting, “Why don’t you stand on a stool?”

"Hmph, just wait until I grow up, I'll definitely be taller than you." Mengming said angrily, but still followed the advice and moved over a small stool.

“That’s quite a wait, maybe decades or even a hundred years?” Meng Huaifeng teased.

Gui Naifen handed the money to Mengming, the young proprietress, and Meng Huaifeng said, "Find a place to sit down."

"Wait, wait, Brother Huaifeng, you should have realized that I'm a streamer. Can your illusionary realm connect to the internet so I can stream?" Gui Naifen asked.

“Strictly speaking, your request is custom-made, but since we get along well, I won’t charge you extra.”

"What a coincidence! Little Gui is so friendly with Brother Huaifeng. From now on, you'll be Little Gui's big brother!" Gui Naifen said with a grin.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments like "Now you can cling to someone powerful."

"You can stream it, but you need to know that the time flow in the stream of consciousness is much faster than in reality. It's like a dream; you feel like a day has passed in your dream, but only a minute has passed in reality. If you want to stream it, the time flow in the stream of consciousness will slow down and synchronize with reality."

"Huh? How long does it take to play one game?" Gui Naifen's expression changed.

“Don’t worry, I will give you permission to skip over parts you deem unimportant and slow down parts you deem important, synchronizing your stream of consciousness with real time,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you," Gui Naifen said with some guilt, her voice sounding complicated.

After thinking for a moment, Gui Naifen took out more than a hundred coins and handed them to the young proprietress.

"I'll modify the program a bit, just a moment, it won't take long." Meng Huaifeng closed his eyes.

For Meng Huaifeng, each skill is like a software program, and changing the effect of a skill is like adjusting the program code.

Not daring to disturb Meng Huaifeng, Gui Naifen walked a little further away and whispered to the camera, "Family members, before coming here, I did a lot of research. I not only asked people who had played the game about the details, but also looked up detailed information about the Five Heroes of Yunshang and the Battle of Fengrao. However, I don't know why, after that, there are no records about the Five Heroes of Yunshang, except for General Jingyuan. Did the other four sacrifice themselves?"

"Well, this has nothing to do with storytelling tales, so let's leave that aside for now. There are two ways to play this storytelling tale game: one is to replace a person in history, and the other is to appear in one's own image and arrange one's identity reasonably."

"Given the scale and intensity of that great war, the fighting power of ordinary people like us was negligible and could not affect the course of the war in the slightest. Therefore, it was meaningless to rashly participate in the battlefield."

"As for replacing those key figures in history, that is even more undesirable, because we simply cannot unleash their fighting power. The situation on the battlefield will be even worse then, so it is better to do nothing."

"According to Xiao Guizi's analysis, our only advantage is our foresight and understanding of past information. We must fully utilize this advantage to have any hope of changing history. So, what identity can we use to leverage this advantage? That's right, it's the identity of a strategist in the Shence Mansion who advises the general!"

A confident glint flashed in Gui Naifen's eyes: "This is the only possible method for ordinary people like us to succeed. Family members, we must succeed!"

"Alright, Xiao Guizi, are you ready?" Meng Huaifeng opened his eyes and asked.

"I'm ready. I'm going to enter in my own form, and my identity will be that of a strategist from the Divine Strategy Bureau!" Gui Naifen declared with high spirits.

"No problem." Seeing that Gui Naifen was already seated, Meng Huaifeng used a skill to put Gui Naifen into a storytelling illusion.

Meng Huaifeng lay back down in his chair, searched for Gui Naifen's live stream, liked, followed, and shared it, and then leisurely watched the live stream.

In the storytelling tale, Gui Naifen opens her eyes in the Shence Mansion.

"Wow, this is the interior of Shence Mansion? Is that the previous general of Luofu? He's not as good-looking as General Jingyuan! Family, just for being able to see the interior of Shence Mansion with our own eyes, the 98-pound ticket price is totally worth it!" Gui Naifen whispered, looking around like a country bumpkin.

General Teng Xiao's ears twitched slightly, and his brows furrowed.

“The abundant monsters are surrounding Luofu from three directions. The envoy of the Abundant Monster has not yet appeared. General, you should not act rashly for the time being.” A strategist said, “We can order the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds to take charge of the three battlefields respectively. General, you can temporarily stay in the central army. Once the envoy appears, you can quickly rush to provide support.”

"Then let Jingliu be in charge of the Bu Liren army, Jingyuan and Yingxing be in charge of the second battlefield, and Danfeng and Baiheng be in charge of the last battlefield," Teng Xiao arranged.

Gui Naifen pricked up her ears and instantly realized that they were discussing strategy.

It's time for me to use my foresight!

“General, I believe that the Envoy of Abundance will surely appear at the last battlefield under the command of Dragon Lord Danfeng. You may go and ambush him, catching him off guard the moment he appears,” Gui Naifen said.

"Why are you so sure? Do you have any evidence or other clues?" General Teng Xiao asked, frowning.

“Ah…this…” Gui Naifen was speechless.

"How can you make such a conclusion without any basis? War is not child's play. What if the general goes to ambush and suddenly appears on the other two battlefields?" a strategist rebuked angrily.

"I... although I have no evidence, I am willing to risk my life to guarantee that Shuhu will definitely appear at the last battlefield," Gui Naifen could only say, forcing herself to speak.

“General, this plan is baseless and based purely on conjecture; it should not be adopted,” the strategist said.

Even though Teng Xiao was stationed in the central army, not far from the three battlefields, he still couldn't support Dan Feng in time, leading to Bai Heng's sacrifice.

If they were to ambush on one battlefield and then suddenly appear on two other battlefields, their entire army would be wiped out, with no time to provide support.

“If you really dare to guarantee it, I will give you a chance. Go and invite Xuan Zhao here,” Teng Xiao said.

"Huh?" Gui Naifen looked blank. Who is Xuan Zhao?

"Let the Grand Diviner of the Imperial Astrology Department divine the outcome. If it's very auspicious, then we'll take the risk." Teng Xiao frowned. So this was the current Grand Diviner.

However, how to invite him? Where is he now? Gui Naifen still looked bewildered.

"How many people are there in my Cloud Cavalry Guards, and who are they?" Teng Xiao's face turned cold as he asked in a deep voice.

“Ah? Jing… Jingyuan, Yingxing… and… and…” Gui Naifen broke out in a cold sweat.

"You can't even recognize all the Cloud Cavalry and Valiant Guards, and you even make mistakes. How did you become a strategist in the Divine Strategy Bureau?" the strategist demanded.

"Ah...this..." Gui Naifen was drenched in sweat. Who knew that playing a game would be so hardcore, requiring her to remember people from hundreds of years ago?

Let alone the unknown ones, I can't even recognize all the famous ones!
"Memorize the Thousand Character Classic, a basic primer for children on Immortal Boat," Teng Xiao said menacingly.

Gui Naifen was in utter despair. "Help! I'm just a nobody who's only been in Xianzhou for a few years. You want me to memorize Xianzhou's books?"
Did something go wrong?
"He doesn't even know the Thousand Character Classic. This person is definitely not from our Immortal Ship. I wonder what kind of spy he is. Seize him and torture him severely!" Teng Xiao ordered.

"Yes!"

Two Yunqi soldiers stepped forward and dragged Gui Naifen away.

"I'm innocent!" Gui Naifen cried, tears welling up in her eyes.

It's just that I can't recite it, is it really that big of a deal?

Is there any justice in the world?

Hey everyone, come look! This game is discriminating against foreigners!

GG was typed in less than ten minutes!

Upon waking, Gui Naifen looked at Meng Huaifeng with a resentful expression: "Brother Huaifeng, shouldn't you explain yourself?"

"Ahem, this is a historical storytelling about the Immortal Boat. Isn't it normal for the people of the Immortal Boat to have a slight advantage?" Meng Huaifeng pinched his thumb and ring finger together, leaving a one-centimeter gap.

"You call this a tiny bit?" Gui Naifen stretched the gap between Meng Huaifeng's two fingers to its maximum.

"If you choose physical combat, there really isn't much difference."

Do you think I'm the kind of person who can turn the tide of battle single-handedly?

"You can play it like a battlefield simulator. Right now, those Immortal Ship people are competing to see who can kill the most Abundant Slaughter."

“What’s the use of killing more? Without the strength of a top-tier Destiny Walker, the outcome cannot be reversed at all,” Gui Naifen sighed.

"The tales of the Five Heroes of the Clouds are indeed very difficult. I suggest you choose something else, such as Black Tower Space Station or Yalilo VI. With your abilities, it's possible for you to complete them. Of course, you can also provide your own scripts," Meng Huaifeng said.

“Then let’s try Yalilo VI. Isn’t this the planet you just saved?” Gui Naifen said.

"Yes, this storytelling tale has a script that we didn't interfere with."

"Family, watch as Xiao Gui Zi experiences what it's like to be an unknown person saving the world! Can't beat them? Impossible! Like I said, we'll definitely take them down!"

……

Ghost prison.

“Your every move is under the observation of the Dharma Eye. I foresaw that you would come to this prison and have been waiting for you here for a long time.”

As Fu Xuan's majestic voice fell, dozens of Cloud Cavalry soldiers surrounded a blond man.

"I am but a lost traveler. I wonder why the Grand Diviner of Luofu has surrounded me?" the man said calmly.

"Call me Acting General. Although I don't know what exactly is on you that interfered with the calculations of the Qiong Guan Formation, don't think you can hide it from me. The Star Core, you brought it into Luofu, didn't you?" Fu Xuan walked down the steps with his short legs, suddenly realizing that if he went any further he would have to look up at this man, so he quickly stopped.

"If you say so, then so be it," the man said nonchalantly.

“You filthy creature, surrender now,” Fu Xuan said.

“Acting General, it is true that my power comes from abundance, but I am just like you, an enemy of the apothecary,” the man said, spreading his arms.

"Hmph, still trying to argue? Once I capture you, I'll be able to investigate the entire formation thoroughly. Attack!"

"Sigh, Jingliu, where did you go at this crucial moment? I, a physician, am not good at fighting." The man sighed and did not put up much resistance, and was easily captured by Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan frowned as he searched the array, still unable to find all the information. This only happened when it involved a Star God or a Commander.

Could this person be the messenger of abundance?
Absolutely impossible!
Fu Xuan dialed Jing Yuan's number.

"General Jingyuan, I have captured someone who is suspected of bringing the Star Core into the Immortal Ship."

"Oh? Fu Qing is indeed exceptionally capable, capturing him so easily. It seems it's time to recommend Fu Qing as General of Luofu," Jing Yuan said with some surprise.

Fu Xuan's face beamed with barely suppressed joy, and her voice trembled with excitement: "I hope you're not just trying to fool me this time. There's something I need to tell you."

"what?"

"This person has an accomplice, whose name is Jingliu."

Jing Yuan's pupils contracted as he looked at Jing Liu, who was smiling serenely beside Bai Heng.

Jing Liu turned his gaze and met Jing Yuan's eyes. Jing Yuan turned his head away nonchalantly.

"Give me a few days," Jing Yuan said, taking a deep breath.

“I know that this invasion of the Illusionary Realm has not caused serious consequences, so it won’t hurt to delay it for a few more days,” Fu Xuan said.

Fu Xuan must know what he's doing and what kind of people they are. It's rare for him to be so considerate, and Jing Yuan felt a warmth in his heart.

"Thank you very much, Fu Qing."

"Don't just talk the talk, if you really want to thank me, go and write a letter of recommendation." Fu Xuan said without any politeness.

"Jingyuan, it's your turn, hurry up and come!"

In front of the game console in the room, Ren stood up in frustration, while Bai Heng waved to him.

"I'll definitely do it next time," Jing Yuan said to Fu Xuan, and then immediately hung up the call.

"Coming right now!" Jing Yuan ran over, snatched the controller from Ren's hand, and pushed him away from the game console.

"General Jingyuan, you scoundrel!" Fu Xuan stomped his foot angrily as the communication ended.

　It's the last day of the month, and I'm only a hundred or so monthly tickets short of exchanging for 100 yuan. Please, dear readers, throw your unwanted monthly tickets at me! They'll expire today anyway.
