The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 123 The Four Talented Men of the Train Crew

Too lazy to walk, Xing directly used the boundary anchor to teleport to the Star Chariot Sea Central Hub, and arrived in front of Meng Huaifeng in just over ten minutes.

"Huaifeng, what fun thing is it?" Xing asked with great interest.

"Spirit exploration, are you interested?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"Of course!" Xing's eyes lit up immediately; it was something she had never experienced before.

"This is Gui Naifen, a well-known live streamer in Luofu. This is our companion..." Meng Huaifeng introduced.

“Unnamed Guest Star, huh? I’ve heard so much about you!” Gui Naifen said warmly.

"I've met another anonymous guest. This is quite an honor; my followers have increased significantly these past few days because of it." Gui Naifen was overjoyed.

"You can also call me Galaxy Batman. Hello, when are we going ghost hunting?" Xing said, puffing out his chest.

“For ghost hunting, of course we should go in the middle of the night. I’ll invite my family to have dinner in Jinren Lane first. I also have a friend who’s on holiday around this time, so let’s all get to know each other first,” Gui Naifen said.

“Golden Man Alley? I just came from there.” Xing scratched his head.

Gui Naifen boarded a star raft, and everyone flew together towards Jinren Lane.

"Ah Xing, how's that chamber of commerce you've been helping out with lately going?" Meng Huaifeng asked on the Star Chariot.

"Of course it's thriving and getting better and better. Now I basically don't need to manage it anymore, and it's running smoothly. Paying the rent at the end of the month isn't a problem," Xing said proudly.

"Oh, Ah Xing, you can do business too?" March 7th asked in surprise.

“March, don’t underestimate me. I’ve discovered that I’m an absolute business genius. If I join the company, I can quickly become an equal to Toppa, believe it or not?” Xing said confidently.

"I don't believe it. I think you'll be hanging from a street lamp in less than a year," March 7th said, pursing his lips.

"Damn it, they don't even believe me." Xing looked angrily at March 7's swordsman's uniform and said provocatively, "March, you'd better not practice swordsmanship. I don't think you have the talent for it."

"What did you say? Master Jingliu said I have a sincere heart." March 7th glared at Xing.

"Only those foolish protagonists in novels would praise him with a sincere heart."

"certainly not!"

March 7th and the stars' foreheads are touching, like fighting bulls, neither willing to yield.

"Alright, alright." Meng Huaifeng stepped in and separated the two: "You two are a business genius and a swordsmanship genius, plus me, a hacking genius. From now on, we'll be the three great talents of the train crew!"

"What about Danheng?" March 7th asked.

"In what aspect do you think Danheng excels?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"...They're all outstanding?" March 7th thought for a long time, then asked uncertainly.

“That won’t do. A genius must excel in one area to be considered a prodigy,” Xing said.

"Huh? Is that so?" March 7th asked doubtfully.

“That’s right, Dan Heng can’t be considered a prodigy,” Xing said.

“Well, I don’t think we can isolate Dan Heng. Although Dan Heng isn’t a prodigy, he’s still a genius, right?” San Yueqi said reluctantly.

“March is right, then it’s decided. From now on, we’ll be the four most talented people in the train crew,” Meng Huaifeng agreed.

(Danheng: ???)
Gui Naifen cautiously asked, "Well, it seems that a genius is more impressive than a prodigy, right?"

"That's not important!" Meng Huaifeng, March 7th and Xing said in unison.

Half an hour later, the Star Chariot arrived at Jinren Alley, and everyone got off at the entrance of the alley.

Entering the night market, led by Gui Naifen, the group arrived at a restaurant called Shangziwei. The decor was quite luxurious, indicating that Gui Naifen had spared no expense to entertain the nameless guests from the Starry Sky Train.

At the entrance of the restaurant, a girl in a yellow dress was looking around.

"Changchang!"

Gui Naifen waved from afar, ran over, and the two girls happily hugged each other.

"Huh, Su Chang?" Xing said in surprise.

"Star?" Su Chang looked surprised as well.

"You two know each other? What a coincidence!" Gui Naifen said happily.

"Yes, the people at the previous company were too rude and I couldn't stand it, so I made a bet with them. Thanks to Xing's help, otherwise I would have just been waiting to lose and embarrass the Yunqi Army." Su Chang said with a grateful look.

"It's still too early to say who will win or lose," Xing said modestly, but the upturned corners of her mouth revealed that she was already confident of victory.

“I just went to the Chamber of Commerce and it’s much better than before,” Su Chang said. “By the way, the money tree at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce looks a bit wilted. I remember it was very lush before.”

"Hey, look who I found! The nameless guy and that wild girl." A guy in a company uniform took off his sunglasses with one hand, looked them up and down with his small eyes, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Who is this? I don't know why, but seeing him makes me want to punch him," March 7th muttered in a strange voice.

"He's probably born with a body that deserves a beating," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Scott? What are you doing here?" Xing frowned and said with disdain.

“What a joke! Do you own Golden Man Alley? I can go wherever I want, it’s none of your business!” Scott said.

"Of course it's none of your business. I wonder if you're ready to apologize loudly and bark like a dog?" Xing sneered.

"Hey, don't get cocky. Who's barking like a dog yet? Our contest has only just begun. In a few days, you'll see how powerful I am," Scott said smugly, hands on his hips.

"You're so good at this, but all you're doing is bribing workers to sabotage transported goods, giving stores tons of bad reviews, and hiring people to impersonate Yunqi soldiers and cause trouble?" Xing said disdainfully, arms crossed. These problems had all been solved by Zhu Zhuqing, Hongkou, and Poxiao.

"Of course not! I stopped playing those childish games a long time ago! I now have more unsolvable, more terrifying, and more unpredictable methods!" Scott said smugly.

"Oh, what is it?" March 7th couldn't help but ask. She felt that what Xing said was already shameless enough. Could there be even more shameless methods?
"Of course... cough, why am I telling you this? Anyway, just wait and see, wild girl, go back and practice how to bark more nicely, you'll definitely need it." Scott coughed, thankfully the powerful figure reminded him, otherwise he would have given it away and they would have been on guard.

"Hey, can't you speak properly?" Su Chang drew her Xuanyuan Sword and pretended to slash at him.

"What...what do you want to do? The Cloud Cavalry has killed someone!" Scott took a few steps back and shouted.

"Shangshang, don't be impulsive." Gui Naifen hurriedly pulled Sushang back.

"Don't bother with this kind of person. Use whatever means you have. We, the Nameless Guests, will take them on," Meng Huaifeng said confidently.

Scott left temporarily, and Gui Naifen led everyone into Shang Ziwei, where they ordered a sumptuous meal.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, and with some time still remaining before midnight in Suiyuan, when the yin energy was at its strongest, the group strolled leisurely through Jinren Alley.

"Boss, I want five skewers of bird's nest." March 7th said in front of a small stall.

“Wait, I’ll take it all!” Scott suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said to the boss.

"Alright, I'll give it to this little girl first," the shopkeeper said happily.

“Sigh, what I meant by all-inclusive includes these five skewers. If you sell them to her, I don’t want them,” Scott said arrogantly.

"You're really persistent," Su Chang said irritably.

"Hey, I'm happy if you guys are unhappy." Scott said smugly. He had been unhappy with the Nameless Guest for a long time. He was doing a good job as the head of the Luofu branch of the Interstellar Peace Corporation. If it weren't for their exploration of some crappy new world, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state.

I definitely can't beat them in a fight, but making them unhappy is enough to vent my anger.

As for whether he would be in danger, what a joke! Who doesn't know that the Nameless Ones are a bunch of pushovers?

Did he kill someone? Did he treat human life with contempt?

No!

What's the big deal!

"This..." The boss looked at March 7 with some difficulty.

“You!” March 7th glared at Scott.

"What, you're not happy? Pay up. If you don't have money, get lost, you poor bastard," Scott mocked.

March 7th clenched his fists, really wanting to punch this guy.

“I’ll pay double,” Meng Huaifeng said.

“Twice!” Scott shouted.

"You're something else." Meng Huaifeng turned and left.

"Huh? No way, I'm going to pay three times the amount!" March 7th retorted, acting as if no one was short of money.

"March, don't be impulsive." Meng Huaifeng hurriedly pulled March Qi away a little, whispering in her ear, "Don't kill him too ruthlessly, he'll react quickly if you do. Let's bleed him dry slowly..."

March 7th's eyes gradually brightened.

"Boss, I want lotus root cake." March 7th ran up to another vendor.

"Deliver this to Interstellar Peace Corporation!" Scott hurriedly paid, gave the order, and then ran to March 7's stall: "I'll take them all!"

"Double."

"double!"

On March 7th, she glared at him with feigned displeasure and then ran to the next vendor.

"Boss, I want hot goat milk."

"I'll cover it all!"

...After Scott had taken over a third of the street, he seemed to be hesitating. Meng Huaifeng and Xing exchanged a glance, knowing they couldn't let him have any free time.

The two of them then went to different vendors to buy things.

"Trying to keep me occupied? With me here, you won't get anything to eat today. As for causing trouble, I'm a professional!" Scott had no time to think and weaved between Meng Huaifeng, March 7th, and Xing.

To save Scott from having to travel back and forth, the three of them specifically chose a merchant that wasn't too far away.

An hour later, they had walked around the entire Jinren Lane food street and sold all the food from all the vendors.

The merchants who had booked everything from the beginning had already delivered their goods to the entrance of the company's branch and were gradually returning.

"Thank you so much! Thanks to you, I made twice as much money and was able to close up shop early," an old lady said, grasping March 7's hand in gratitude.

"Yes, we made the equivalent of four or five days' worth of money today."

"You can't calculate it like that. That extra two times has no cost and can last at least a month."

"Yes, thank you so much."

"..."

"Huff, huff," Scott said, bending over with his hands on his knees, panting like a dog.

Watching the vendors thank Meng Huaifeng and his group, he finally began to understand what was happening.

“You…you…you’re…playing…me?” Scott asked haltingly.

"No way! We really want to try the local snacks," Meng Huaifeng said innocently.

"Oh, what a pity, I didn't get to taste anything," said March 7th regretfully.

Scott's expression softened slightly; although he had been somewhat tricked, he had achieved his goal.

"Idiot, idiot! I told you not to fall for it, not to fall for it, why didn't you listen?" the nobleman possessing Scott said angrily.

“I’ve already spent so much money. If I give up halfway and they get the spoils, it will be a complete waste. I’ve spent money and haven’t achieved my goal. Although I’ve spent a lot of money, at least I’ve achieved my goal!” Scott felt that this was not a bad deal.

"If you want to eat, we can come again tomorrow," Meng Huaifeng suggested.

"If you come tomorrow, this old woman will treat you to a free meal."

"Yes, yes, the day after tomorrow, or the day after that, are also fine."

The vendors who benefited expressed their gratitude.

Scott's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Oh dear, this is the first time I've closed up shop so early. I don't know what to do next," an elderly woman exclaimed.

Meng Huaifeng glanced at Gui Naifen: "Little Gui, aren't you a street performance art master? Why don't you give us a performance?"

"Brother Huaifeng, great idea!" Gui Naifen gave Meng Huaifeng a thumbs up and pulled out a broken copper gong from somewhere.

"Clang, clang, clang."

The gong rang three times.

"Look, look, look! If you don't see the acrobatics today, you'll regret it for the rest of your life! Fire-breathing, sword-swallowing, fish and dragon dancing, lion dancing, bowl balancing, human pyramids, swallowing fireballs, walking on burning charcoal, aerial acrobatics—everyone praises them! Guests from all directions come to watch, and everyone says—to see Gui Naifen's acrobatics is something I wouldn't trade for a thousand pieces of gold!"

As Gui Naifen began her opening poem, she performed a set of staff techniques with great skill and power.

"Great!" March 7th clapped her little hands enthusiastically in support.

The idle vendors and tourists voluntarily gave up a space.

The vendors had sold out of their snacks, so the tourists had nothing to do but watch Gui Naifen's acrobatic performance.

"Golden spear locks the throat!"

"Sword swallowing through the spine!"

"Catch the bullet with your bare hands!"

"it is good!"

A series of exciting and thrilling performances unfolded, drawing applause and cheers from the onlookers.

"Breaking a boulder on his chest! Are there any enthusiastic audience members who want to come up and help Xiao Guizi finish this performance?"

Gui Naifen lay on the ground, pressing a large blue stone against her chest.

"I come!"

Xing couldn't wait to step forward.

"Should we smash it down hard?" Xing asked, standing next to Gui Naifen with a hammer on his back.

"Family, be gentle...be gentle." Gui Naifen stammered, her forehead covered in cold sweat, her eyes filled with a desperate longing for life.

Xing swung the hammer, frowning, and said, "It's not as comfortable as my baseball bat."

Xing raised the hammer high.

"Wait! Actually, I, Gui Zi, am more skilled at smashing bluestone to pieces with one blow while leaving the people below completely unharmed!" Gui Naifen suddenly shouted.

“Really? I don’t believe it! Let me try it down there.” Scott, who had recovered, stepped forward and said.

He had seen Gui Naifen's performance before; she was quite skilled and certainly wouldn't hurt herself.

but!

Hmph, once your hammer comes down, whether you get hurt or not won't be up to you. I'll immediately pretend to be injured and cough up blood, and wait to pay you compensation!
“Okay, no problem! Please, just watch!” Gui Naifen excitedly lifted the large blue stone and warmly guided Scott to lie down.

The large blue stone pressed down on Scott, and Scott felt a little short of breath.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Gui Naifen carefully took the hammer from Xing's hands.

"Little Gui, let me do it!" Su Chang stepped forward and looked at Scott with eager eyes.

"Uh... Changchang, you can't control the force, let me do it." Gui Naifen said worriedly.

"Huaifeng said that no matter whether you can control your strength or not, this guy will definitely pretend to be injured, so why don't you just let me do it and vent my anger? That way, I'm the one who hit him, and it won't affect your future performances," Su Chang whispered to Gui Naifen.

Scott's eye twitched violently; this wild girl might actually dare to do it!
"Move the stone away, I regret it, I'm not coming," Scott said hastily.

"No, lie down, lie down properly, I'll be very serious." Su Chang pressed down on the large blue stone, and under Su Chang's great strength, Scott couldn't move at all.

Seeing Su Changhe's kind smile, Scott's face turned pale with fright. "You're going to seriously smash me to death, aren't you?"
"Let me go! Murder! Help! Help!" Scott cried out for help.

"Coward! If you're so weak, don't go up there. It's embarrassing!" Meng Huaifeng jeered from the crowd.

"Exactly, what a coward."

"What a waste."

"It's so embarrassing."

"..."

Scott cursed inwardly, "Is this a matter of cowardice? This guy could really be half-dead with me!"

Seeing that Su Chang had already raised the hammer, Scott shouted, "If you dare to smash it, I'll complain to the Earth Balance Bureau that you're forcing people to perform dangerous acts!"

Gui Naifen hurriedly stopped Su Chang.

“If we let you go, you’re not allowed to file a complaint?” Gui Naifen said, still somewhat intimidated by Heng Si.

“No problem, of course no problem. As long as you let me go, I promise I won’t complain!” Scott was overjoyed.

Gui Naifen hesitated. This guy didn't seem like a good person. Would she really not file a complaint?
If he'll complain no matter what, I might as well vent my anger first. At worst, I'll be banned from performing for six months.

Gui Naifen looked to Meng Huaifeng for help.

Meng Huaifeng nodded, his mouth slightly opening three times.

Gui Naifen understood: "Alright then, remember your promise. Changchang, let go."

"Oh." Su Chang removed her foot from the large bluestone with some regret.

Amid boos and disdainful looks from the onlookers, Scott fled in disarray.

The performance continued, with Star replacing Scott.

Gui Naifen had to admit that this was the most satisfying smashing experience she had ever had. No wonder she was known as the world-famous Wumingke!
Gui Naifen's antics were limited; even biting a lighter was an option. After an hour, she finally ran out of ideas.

Seeing that the people were still enjoying themselves, Meng Huaifeng took over Gui Naifen's position.

"Please spread out a bit!"

"Those who don't like dancing, please step back!"

People have a herd mentality; if others don't back down, they won't back down either.

"Then let's get hyped! Music!" Meng Huaifeng stretched his hand towards the sky.

"I feel like I'm about to explode!"

A fiery light ignited in everyone's eyes, and they began to dance to the music.

When one person goes crazy, it's just madness; when a group of people go crazy, it's a carnival!
