The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 142 The Three Best Friends of Denor

"I'm relieved to hear you say that," March 7th said, patting his chest.

"Eek." The giant panda cub ran over and clung to March 7's leg.

"Abei, be good, go find Huaifeng first, your sister still needs to practice her sword." March 7th bent down, picked up Abei, and placed her in Meng Huaifeng's arms.

The little dumplings are so cute, and they feel so nice to knead.

While rubbing Abe, Meng Huaifeng received the genetic data of the first-generation beast form sent to him by Angel Yan.

Super genes are not uncommon in the universe, and angels don't care about these things, so Yan generously gave Meng Huaifeng information on three different beast forms.

Meng Huaifeng compared the differences in the genes of the three first-generation beast bodies while probing Abe's genetic information.

Genetic information is also information, composed of basic units, and different arrangements represent different gene expressions.

Although the underlying structures are different, they are essentially very similar to information networks.

Ether editing can edit reality; Meng Huaifeng, by slightly changing his thinking, can seamlessly edit genetic information.

However, being able to edit doesn't mean you fully understand genes. Trying to figure out what each gene segment represents is no less challenging than learning hacking techniques all over again.

This belongs to another discipline, biological genetics.

If Meng Huaifeng were to directly rewrite genes into supergenes through ether editing, it would be entirely possible, without even needing materials.

However, this requires Meng Huaifeng to have a sufficient understanding of super genes; otherwise, the rewritten super genes will soon be corrected by reality.

Of course, Meng Huaifeng doesn't need to know what each super gene represents; he only needs to know how it is composed and then imitate it accordingly.

With real science as its foundation, the reality rewritten by Meng Huaifeng can become a reality and exist forever.

The super gene isn't that complicated. Meng Huaifeng is confident that with a little time, he can get a general understanding of it, which will be enough for him to truly rewrite reality.

As for the second-generation super genes and beyond, where gene complexity increases exponentially, Meng Huaifeng doesn't plan to study them in depth.

He understands the principle that you can't bite off more than you can chew, but he hasn't mastered ether editing yet.

He always remembered that he was a hacker, not a biological genetic scientist.

If we can help Abe develop intelligence, then one generation of super genes will suffice.

The main purpose of super genes is to enhance the body, control and carry energy, and strengthen computing power and information communication. Various technological means are then attached to super genes to enhance these aspects.

All of these can be achieved through cultivation, becoming a traveler on the path of destiny.

There's no need to keep upgrading the super gene.

A new system for becoming stronger and exploring new worlds—get it!

In this wave, Meng Huaifeng scored a big point.

After studying supergenes for a day, Meng Huaifeng looked up at the empty sky.

"I almost forgot about my daily tasks. I didn't infiltrate the Great Worm Bridge yesterday. I wonder if Karl missed me."

Invasion, end, sleep—all done in one smooth motion!
Styx Galaxy.

"Was it one of them who invaded me?" Karl saw virtual images of Meng Huaifeng and the other three floating in front of him.

This is the information he obtained by infiltrating Earth and Denuo's information network.

Even if they knew it was Meng Huaifeng and his group who did it, there was nothing they could do unless Karl personally came down.

The hidden information was concealed by Meng Huaifeng, even better than the concealment effect of the black armor, so Karl couldn't locate it at all.

"The firewall is about to be breached." Karl sighed, and with a thought, replaced the firewall with one of a different structure.

He's considering whether to shut down the giant worm bridge over Earth. Leaving it there is purely for the purpose of providing technological advancement.

Let's wait and see if Liangbing can get rid of these bugs.

Turning it off and then back on consumes a lot of energy.

……

The next morning, the group headed to the Super God Academy.

"It's my first time teaching someone, and I'm a little excited." Looking at the gate of the Super God Academy from afar, March 7 clenched his hands and pressed them to his chest.

“At least I went to school, while you and Ah Xing never went to school for a single day and yet you became teachers, tsk tsk…” Meng Huaifeng teased.

"I was born with knowledge, I don't need to go to school," Xing said shamelessly.

“What’s the use of going to school? You’re not a teacher, and besides, do you even understand their technology?” March 7th raised his chin.

"I'm not very talented, I only know a little bit," Meng Huaifeng said modestly.

"When did you understand?" March 7 asked in surprise.

"Just yesterday."

"cut."

Before they even stepped through the gate, they heard cries for help.

"Help! Could someone please put us down?"

"How embarrassing! Three grown men like us, being..."

"I want to go back! I'm not going to this lousy school anymore, I want to go home!"

"..."

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be three ragged, poor men tied to a pillar by the roadside.

"The three Deno brothers?" Xing read aloud, looking at the words on a sign next to them.

"Hey beautiful, don't look, don't look, it's embarrassing."

A tall, stunningly beautiful mature woman, and a lively, adorable pink-haired girl.

Feeling so embarrassed in front of the beautiful woman, the three losers blushed deeply. It was a pity their hands were tied tightly, otherwise they would have covered their faces long ago.

"Are you... performing performance art?" Xing asked.

"No. It's because we... offended someone." The three hurriedly shook their heads.

"What did you do to end up tied up here?" March 7 asked curiously, wanting to hear what had happened before deciding whether to help.

"We...this...that..."

The three men stammered, saying that it would be embarrassing for three grown men to not be able to beat a girl, and that it would also damage their image in front of beautiful women.

Although they have no image left to speak of now.

"Looks like you've done something wrong. I'm not going to interfere anymore." March 7th turned her head away.

"No, they tricked us into coming here first, then went back on their word, beat us up, and made us sing 'Conquer.' We just wanted to get revenge," Ge Xiaolun said, feeling wronged.

"What is conquest?" Xing asked curiously.

The three friends clearly didn't want to answer this humiliating question, and looked at Meng Huaifeng and Walter, who were following behind the two women.

"Dude, please have mercy and let us down. We'll never forget your kindness," Cheng Yaowen pleaded with Meng Huaifeng.

“That’s right, I, Zhao Xin, have never been so humiliated in my life. Dude, put me down and I’ll acknowledge you as my big brother,” Zhao Xin pleaded.

"Wait a minute, this spectacular sight should be enjoyed by everyone." Meng Huaifeng took out his phone. Actually, you could take pictures without a phone, but life needs a sense of ritual.

"No way, you're not going to help, and you even filmed it? That's too much! I'll fight you to the death, Master Xin!" Zhao Xin kicked his legs, desperately trying to kick Meng Huaifeng.

"Share it with everyone? He even wants to post it online! How will the three of us brothers ever face anyone then?" Cheng Yaowen tightened his grip on his bound hands.

"I can die, but I can't die in a social circle! I'm going to date ten school beauties this year, not become ten jokes!" Ge Xiaolun's arm muscles bulged, and veins bulged.

However, whether it was because the rope Rose used was of too good quality, or because the three buddies were too weak, they couldn't break free even after struggling for a long time.

"I thought you were going to break free and beat me up, is this all? I'm just asking you, if you came across such a strange sight on the road, would you take pictures or not? Don't lie," Meng Huaifeng asked.

The three friends exchanged glances. Okay, if they happen to see something interesting, they'll definitely take a couple of pictures and post them on social media to let their friends and family see what's going on.

"Don't worry, I won't post it online. At most, I'll show it to a few of my companions," Meng Huaifeng said as he untied the ropes from the group.

The three friends exchanged glances again, cracked their knuckles, tilted their necks, and made a 'crack' sound.

Cheng Yaowen smiled maliciously, "You dared to untie us instead of running away after taking embarrassing photos of us. I must say, you've got some nerve."

“We three brothers have a clear sense of right and wrong. Considering that you helped us once, we’ll let it go by deleting the photos,” Zhao Xin said.

"Otherwise, don't blame us brothers for being impolite," Ge Xiaolun said.

"How exactly am I being impolite?" Meng Huaifeng tilted his head.

One minute later.

"Big Brother," the three brothers bowed respectfully to Meng Huaifeng.

"Yes, don't worry, I'll take good care of you from now on." Meng Huaifeng nodded in satisfaction.

"Big brother, you're so amazing, were you also tricked into coming here by this lousy academy?" Ge Xiaolun asked.

"Well, it's not exactly a lie," Meng Huaifeng said.

"We arrived a day earlier than you, big brother. You have no idea how terrible this academy is. I only agreed to come because we were promised roommates with beautiful girls, but..."

The group chatted as they entered the Super God Academy.

Lianfeng had already arranged for someone to wait and take them to see her office.

Although Meng Huaifeng and his team probably won't need the office, you may not need it, but you can't be without it.

The three friends thought that someone from the college was taking them to the dormitory, and they enthusiastically wanted to go and help, but Meng Huaifeng refused.

Actually, the authorities did want to arrange dormitories for them, but Meng Huaifeng and the others did not accept it. They came to be teachers, not students. Why stay in a dormitory when they have a villa to live in?

That distance meant nothing to them.

The offices arranged for the four were extremely luxurious, complete with snack cabinets, televisions, high-tech computers, and speakers, and each person had their own room.

However, not long after, Xinghe and March 7th moved the computer to Meng Huaifeng's place.

As Xing put it, playing games alone isn't fun; it's only fun when you're with a group.

The train crew came out of the office, strolled around the Super God Academy, and saw many of the recruited students.

They awakened some extraordinary abilities to varying degrees, but were destined to be mere backup candidates.

Given the limited resources available on Earth, the first phase of resources will be entirely focused on a few individuals on the key monitoring list.

Add another Shenhe sniper who doesn't require much resource consumption but can still play a significant role, and focus on the cost-effectiveness of Qilin.

In the afternoon, the first class of the semester officially began.

It's really just about letting everyone get to know each other and understand the state of the Earth.

"Oh, my benefactor, you're here too."

As soon as the train entered the classroom, they heard Rui Mengmeng's surprised voice.

"It's you guys? Thank you so much for saving me and everyone the other day." Qi Lin also came forward and thanked March 7.

She didn't know who released the shield protecting everyone, but she saw March 7 kill those Taotie warriors.

"It was nothing," March 7th said with a smile, squinting his eyes.

Lena nodded to the train crew, seeing that everyone who had made the reservations had arrived. On the large screen in front of the classroom, she began playing videos of the Taotie warriors' invasion and the appearance and capture of crocodile people in other countries.

"No, there really are aliens?" Ge Xiaolun said incredulously.

"We're not here for this, are we?" Cheng Yaowen swallowed hard. No wonder he was doing so well farming when he was suddenly called here.

"Fight aliens? What the hell?" Zhao Xin said.

“That little crocodile was actually quite cute,” Xing suddenly said.

"Cute? Sister, do you have a problem with your taste?" Rose said speechlessly.

“That’s the Crocodile God Soton, in his third-generation beast form. It’s recorded in your Earth’s mythology. In his prime, he could easily destroy a country and devour countless people,” Lena explained.

"I didn't realize he was so easily kidnapped by a few soldiers." Xing scratched his head.

"They must have just been resurrected or unsealed, and their internal energy is depleted, so they can't exert much of their strength," Lena analyzed.

Meng Huaifeng frowned slightly. Had Crocodile God Soton appeared so quickly?

The original work has been rewritten several times, and the timeline of the plot itself is chaotic. He doesn't know which version of this world it is, or whether it is a combination of different versions.

The plot of your original world can only serve as a reference in this world; you really can't take it all at once.

"It's a pity I didn't visit the place where this guy is sealed when I traveled abroad before, otherwise I could have dug him out in advance," Meng Huaifeng said with some regret.

"Then let's quickly tour all the tourist attractions on Blue Star and see if there are any other places where something is sealed," Xing said with some anticipation.

“I think it’s a good idea,” March 7th agreed.

The screen continued to play footage of the Taotie warriors attacking Juxia City.

"I'm a mafia boss, and you want me to fight aliens? What were you thinking?" Liu Chuang suddenly spoke up from his corner seat by the window in the classroom.

"Damn it, what are you doing here?" Ge Xiaolun finally noticed Liu Chuang in the corner and said with disgust.

"The underworld?" Rui Mengmeng whispered.

"What gangsters? They're just unemployed old men at best," Rose said dismissively.

"Hey, you look down on me? I'm a mafia boss with dozens of brothers around, you know that?" Liu Chuang leaned on the table, looking menacing. "The aliens you're afraid of, they've seen less blood than I have when I'm fighting with my brothers for territory."

"So these aliens aren't all that great. I watched for ages and didn't see them kill a single one. Aliens, is that all? Let me be the leader of this Super Soldier Company, and I'll lead you guys to fight aliens. I'm a gangster, I only care about this kind of thing."

"Hmph, what do you know, you gang leader? The aliens can't kill people not because they're weak, but because someone protected everyone. Otherwise, who knows how many casualties would have been caused, and they wouldn't even have survived!" Qi Lin couldn't stand his self-righteous attitude, which showed that he couldn't see the help behind his benefactor, so she stood up and retorted.

"Oh dear, it's you again, Qilin. You said someone was protecting those people, how did they do it? Is that scientific? I may not be well-educated, but I still believe in science. Don't tell me it's metaphysics... Wait a minute, aliens are coming out. Is there really such a thing as metaphysics in this world? Who did that?" Liu Chuang suddenly remembered something and widened his eyes like copper bells.

"Could it be that day..." Ge Xiaolun also recalled the fight he had with Liu Chuang many days ago, when at first neither of them could hurt the other.

Qi Lin looked at Meng Huaifeng and the others, unsure whether it was science or metaphysics.

“That’s right, it’s me, Galaxy Baseball Man!” Star said proudly, hands on his hips.

"Big Sister, please take me as your disciple! I want to learn how to cultivate immortality!" Ge Xiaolun slid down and tried to hug Xing's leg, but Xing dodged him in disgust.

　The remastered version is more detailed, so we had to adopt some of its settings, but some plot points from the old version will be retained. I will address any conflicts between the two versions as needed.
