The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 139 Blue Star Train Alliance

“This…this is something nobody wanted, I picked it up,” March 7th said dryly.

“Miss March 7th, we are deeply grateful that the train is willing to lend a helping hand to Blue Star. We would like to give you this giant panda as a symbol of friendship, and hope that you will take good care of it,” Lianfeng said with a kind smile.

"Oh, okay, thank you," March 7th replied, relieved.

After Lianfeng left, Meng Huaifeng lay down on the sofa and sighed, "Talking to these officials is so troublesome."

“You did a great job just now,” Walter encouraged.

"But I'm mentally exhausted. Uncle Yang, why don't you take the lead in tomorrow's talks?" Meng Huaifeng wanted to shirk responsibility.

“You’ll all grow up eventually, and you’ll have to learn to face situations like this. The three of you are the closest, and you’ll likely be working together a lot in the future, so someone has to learn to step up and handle these kinds of problems.” Walter also didn’t want to put in the effort.

Meng Huaifeng glanced at the outspoken San Yueqi, then at the surprisingly witty A Xing, and thought, "Fine, I'll do it."

"Actually, you don't need to be so reserved. As long as you adhere to the principles of the Nameless Guest, it's fine to relax. Don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending people. After all, people from different worlds have completely different perceptions and views, and it's impossible for them all to share our values. Misunderstandings and disputes between us and local forces are actually quite common. We can prove them wrong with our actions later. Remember, we have you backed up," Walter advised.

"Then can I be a little arrogant?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

“Of course, arrogance is also a negotiation tactic. Sometimes being too friendly can make local forces think you're weak and easy to bully, leading to trouble. On the contrary, being a little arrogant will deter them from making rash moves, allowing both sides to coexist peacefully. We can't predict which method will be the optimal solution. In short, relax and just be yourself. Our train crew is small enough that we don't need to think about so much. It's the leaders of those forces who need to consider more things and won't easily start a war because of a few wrong words.” Walter spoke with great confidence.

"I understand." Meng Huaifeng's worries vanished.

"Log in?" Xing asked.

"Come!"

……

Throughout Country H, countless diplomatic experts worked through the night to meticulously analyze the exchange records between Lianfeng and Meng Huaifeng, determining how much was true and how much was false, and whether it was credible.

"Based on their first words upon meeting and the giant panda they saw before leaving, we were able to spot them at a giant panda base in Tiandu City through surveillance footage. We then checked surveillance footage from various scenic spots across the country over the past few days and found them in multiple locations as well. And it wasn't just a fleeting glimpse; we could confirm that they had indeed spent most of the day there."

“We used the Denuo III computer to secretly infiltrate foreign networks and also found them in several famous scenic spots.”

"So, they really came to Earth for exploration and tourism?"

"Although it's hard to believe, it must be true. We can't use the narrow-minded view that Earth hasn't even ventured beyond its planet to speculate on the thoughts of people in advanced civilizations."

"Can a group of interstellar adventurers help us defend against invasions from other civilizations?"

"What, you look down on adventurers? Even in the history of various countries on Earth, adventurers who dared to explore everywhere were not simple people, let alone those who explore everywhere in the universe."

“That makes sense. Moreover, they have no other civilizations behind them. I personally think they are even more reliable than the Lieyang Civilization.”

"What's more reliable? Have you forgotten the history of Y Country's rise to power? A large number of adventurers explore the world, and once they discover something of value, Y Country's fleet follows closely behind."

"Then tell me, what valuable things on Earth would catch the eye of an advanced civilization?"

"...Perhaps we won't recognize him?"

"Enough, stop arguing. A crisis is looming, and we must unite all forces that can be united. The train can be trusted more than the Lieyang Civilization."

……

The next day, Lianfeng offered to send a helicopter to pick them up, but Meng Huaifeng refused, only asking for the specific location of the meeting.

At noon, in a conference room somewhere in the Super God Academy, Elder Huang, Du Kao, Lena, A Jie, Lian Feng, and several generals had already arrived.

"There's still one minute left, haven't they arrived yet?" A general glanced at the clock.

"The gatekeepers didn't see any trace of them." Lianfeng's expression was somewhat grave.

"They might not be as friendly as we thought. The agreed time is approaching, but they are late. Do they look down on us?" the general said with a gloomy face.

Before the words were finished, a faint white light suddenly appeared in the conference room, and then four figures appeared in the four empty chairs.

"I don't think we're late, just on time. We don't mean to look down on you," Meng Huaifeng said calmly.

"Wow, amazing! This goddess didn't sense any dark energy fluctuations at all. How did you do that?" Lena exclaimed in amazement.

"Because I'm not using dark energy." Meng Huaifeng smiled at Lena.

If not dark energy, what else could we use? Doesn't the unknown universe follow the path of super genes? Lena was filled with interest.

However, she wasn't the main person present; she was just accompanying someone, so Lena didn't ask any further questions.

Lianfeng introduced the representatives from Country H to the train crew.

Just as I was about to introduce the train crew to them, Xing volunteered, "Galaxy Baseball Man, Xing."

Meng Huaifeng replied, "Phantom Gunner, Meng Huaifeng."

March 7th stared wide-eyed at Meng Huaifeng, "When did you give yourself a nickname like Xing?"

What should I do then?
At this point, wouldn't it be embarrassing to just state your name, like a background soldier?

Meng Huaifeng gestured with his eyes, but San Yueqi's big eyes were full of confusion.

"Can't you find the pattern?" Meng Huaifeng had no choice but to activate his telepathic communication.

"What's the pattern?"

"Weapons."

"oh oh."

March 7th's wise eyes returned to normal, and he raised his little face, saying, "The Glass Swordsman, March 7th."

stare!
Under the watchful eyes of the three men, Walter coughed and said with a serious expression, "Void Hole Hero, Walter."

???

Is this really the powerful, dangerous, and mysterious alien we imagine?

How come they're just like those immature teenagers on Earth?
"A hero is good indeed. In our country, a hero is one who punishes evil and promotes good, helps the weak and relieves the distressed, and serves the country and the people. I wonder if this is the same as the hero you speak of?" Old Huang broke the silence with a smile.

"Of course, we are the heroes who save the world," Xing said proudly.

"It seems you have a wealth of experience, young friend. If we didn't have other important matters to discuss, I would love to hear about your experiences saving the world," said Old Huang, his face kind and gentle. Based on his life experience, these young people in the train crew seemed very sincere, even childlike. Such people were unlikely to be bad. "Shall we begin the meeting?" Dukao suggested.

“I have an ability that allows everyone to speak only the truth. Of course, they can also choose not to speak. I don’t like beating around the bush or talking nonsense. Let’s get straight to the point, shall we?” Meng Huaifeng said.

After a moment of silence, Old Huang nodded and said, "Okay."

Meng Huaifeng activated the original mind-reading ability, but then blocked its ability to communicate, only maintaining the skill's pleasure effect.

"That's enough," Meng Huaifeng reminded him.

No one else noticed, meaning that people could use it secretly without their knowledge, yet they still had to ask for their consent.

"Can't we really tell lies? Pan Zhen is a big...big...bad guy. Hehe." Lena covered her mouth and chuckled.

Everyone else pretended not to hear.

"Blue Star hopes to receive assistance from the train, including technology, energy, supplies, and so on," Lianfeng said, blushing slightly.

"So you want them all?" Meng Huaifeng said speechlessly.

“But it’s the truth, I can’t lie. Of course, we know it’s impossible, but we’re just trying our best,” Lianfeng said.

"So what are your bottom lines?"

"The bottom line is... is..." Lianfeng tried to say something more ambitious, but couldn't bring herself to say it. She could only say helplessly, "The train helps us resist the invasion of alien civilizations and cultivate some of our forces. I wonder how much the train can help us?"

Meng Huaifeng nodded slightly, indicating that he wasn't too greedy.

"We would like to lend you a hand in terms of technology, but unfortunately, we have not done much research on the mainstream gene-based god-making technology in your world. The development of technology in your world is very strange and extremely unbalanced. Apart from super genes and related technologies, other technologies are very superficial and have a very poor foundation."

"As for energy and supplies, we are just a train with few people, so we don't store much. We have to find a civilized planet to replenish our supplies from time to time, and these supplies are completely insignificant to a planet and can't help you at all."

"We can help you resist alien civilizations and prevent mass casualties, but you must also become stronger as soon as possible. With your existing resources, you will be fully capable of protecting yourself. If you then invade other civilizations, we will terminate the alliance and even stop you."

Apart from helping to resist the invasion of alien civilizations, Meng Huaifeng has no intention of interfering in other affairs of Blue Star.

The Ling Cage world is a place where there are very few living people left, and it is very difficult for the remaining people to survive. That's why they are taught extra methods to become stronger.

Lianfeng argued forcefully, hoping the train could help them train some soldiers.

Given the technological advancements in this world, most cultivation methods, even after decades of practice, could ultimately be defeated with a single shot. Even the few powerful systems require prerequisites and a significant amount of time for cultivation, rendering them meaningless. Therefore, Meng Huaifeng did not agree.

Ultimately, both sides compromised, and Meng Huaifeng agreed that the train crew would be seconded to the Super God Academy to help train super soldiers on Blue Star and accelerate their growth.

At the same time, Lianfeng, on behalf of Country H, promised the train crew a series of benefits, which were of little use to the train crew in reality, but at least the attitude was made.

During the meeting, a general kept looking at Dukao, which annoyed Dukao.

Seeing that the discussion was over, Dukao stood up and said, "I wonder why General Li has been looking at me like that?"

General Li opened his mouth but remained silent; he could not speak falsehoods, nor could he say anything that would be detrimental to unity.

“I understand that there have always been doubts about my stance, Dukao, among the higher-ups. Now that the technology of the train has an impact, I might as well speak frankly.” Dukao took a deep breath.

"I admit I had selfish motives. The destruction of the Deno civilization makes me feel deeply guilty, but I can swear that I absolutely did not have the idea of ​​using the Deno civilization to replace the Blue Star civilization. If I had such an idea, the Deno civilization would have unified the Blue Star long ago. I just hope that the Deno civilization will occupy a large part of the Blue Star civilization, so that people will never forget Deno, and that Deno will continue forever in another way."

"Then you..." General Li wanted to ask another question.

Old Huang reached out to stop him and said apologetically, "Old Du, I apologize for everyone's doubts about you. The country will grant you more authority in the future, and I hope you won't mind."

"Thank you for your trust, sir," Dukao said.

After the incident, the train crew and Blue Star officially formed an alliance.

Back at the villa, March 7 said, "Huaifeng, that Admiral Dukao has such great strength, yet he is willing to be subordinate to others. He really has principles."

"Not necessarily." Meng Huaifeng shook his head.

"Huh? Wasn't he telling the truth?" March 7th exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, he was telling the truth, there were no lies, but if he didn’t tell the whole story, it could be misleading,” Meng Huaifeng said.

Humans are masters at finding loopholes in the rules.

He himself has tried to find loopholes in Ahab's Blessing, but he has managed to get around them all.

Perhaps the angels warned him, which is why Dukao never had that thought or idea; or perhaps he had another idea.

What the truth is, no one knows except Ducao himself.

It's even possible that he himself has been wavering and uncertain all along.

That evening, Yan, who looked like a street urchin, returned.

"I just made a routine inspection after showing up, and you've already formed an alliance with them so quickly?" Yan asked in surprise.

"Otherwise what? We're just trying to help, why are you dragging your feet? Do you expect us to go through all that back and forth like a young couple dating?" Meng Huaifeng asked, spreading his hands.

Yan narrowed her eyes: "Kid, are you implying something?"

"How could that be? By the way, Sister Yan, do you have any information on a first-generation super beast body? We have a pet and want to train it a bit," Meng Huaifeng asked.

"Yes, I do, but why should I give it to you, sister?" Yan leaned closer, a malicious smile on her delicate face.

"What do you want?" Meng Huaifeng covered his clothes and leaned back.

"What do you want to do to Huaifeng? Let go of him and come at me!" Xing took a step forward and blocked Meng Huaifeng's path, facing Yan directly.

“It’s simple, fight my sister again.” Yan said. Ever since she lost, she had been unwilling to accept defeat and had been thinking about how to deal with Meng Huaifeng’s ever-changing and sometimes-disappearing phantom gun.

"You should have said so earlier, you scared me!" Meng Huaifeng patted his chest.

Yan rolled her eyes at Meng Huaifeng: "If my sister really does something to you, it'll be you, the little brat, who will benefit."
