The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 149 Tech Monkey

"Can the third-generation divine body protect Blue Star?" Elder Huang asked.

"Battles between gods depend not only on the basic configuration of their divine bodies, but also on the technology, energy, and computing power of the civilizations behind them. In these aspects, the help that Earth can provide is negligible. However, our super soldiers are not ordinary genetically engineered products. With the two of them working together, plus Wukong, protecting Earth will not be a problem," Dukao said confidently, based on the known forces invading Earth.

"That's good." Old Huang nodded slightly.

"Commanders, the train crew was capable of destroying the Demon Queen during this incident. However, due to the location of the Super God Academy on the edge of the city, a full-scale attack would have affected many innocent people, allowing the Demon Queen to escape. I suggest that the Super God Academy be relocated in advance to prevent similar situations from happening again," Lianfeng said.

“The Juxia is nearing completion, and I will have people speed up the process,” Dukao said.

"If we can resolve a major threat to Earth's future, I believe it would be worth sacrificing hundreds of thousands of lives. I suggest giving them authorization in advance so that they can act without hesitation next time they encounter a similar situation," a general said coldly.

"Agreed. Compared to the potential casualties after a true demonic invasion, a few hundred thousand people are really insignificant. If the public outcry gets too strong, we can wait until they leave..."

“We cannot command or influence the train crew’s decisions. Given their temperament, even with our authorization, they are unlikely to do so,” Lianfeng said with a hint of disdain.

"Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity. The train crew extended a helping hand to us out of chivalry. How can we do the same? How will we stand up to our other allies then?" Old Huang rejected the idea without hesitation.

Lianfeng suddenly pressed her hand to the communicator by her ear, then ran to the window without regard for the occasion, turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "Commanders, the wormhole in the sky has disappeared!"

"what?!"

……

In the Styx Galaxy, Karl pondered for a long time after hanging up the communication.

The visitors from the unknown universe seem rather troublesome.

That person is cracking the Great Clock firewall faster and faster. Since Liang Bing can't deal with them, the Great Insect Bridge that leads directly to Blue Star will have to be shut down.

It's not a big problem; it just means that the subordinate civilization will have to travel a longer distance in the universe.

However, with these added variables, I'll need to find some more helpers to ensure the plan goes smoothly.

Ordinary third-generation super soldiers are useless; you need at least a third-generation divine body.

The only option is to upgrade Hua Ye's divine body ahead of schedule.

There are also triangular bodies; it depends on the situation whether or not to introduce them into the battlefield.

……

After petting the giant panda, Meng Huaifeng was about to begin his daily tasks.

Looking up, I was surprised to see such a huge chrysanthemum in the sky.
It's frustrating; without such a great practice tool, my progress in Ethereum editing is going to slow down again.

More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Angel Nebula civilization is highly advanced. There are no mysterious unknowns on the planet for the train crew to explore. The number of angels is also small, and there are no messy relationships or conflicts for them to gossip about or run errands for.

Overall, Angel Nebula's pioneering journey was uneventful and boring. If it weren't for Himeko and Tsuruhi's enjoyable exchange on technology, they would have left long ago.

Meanwhile, Danheng and Pam were driving the train and were about to arrive at the Blazing Sun Civilization.

Meng Huaifeng naturally sought out Lena, the chief goddess of the Lieyang Civilization.

"Lena, our other train crew members are almost at the Blazing Sun Civilization. Please inform them to avoid any misunderstandings."

Star Trains travel and explore the universe without usually concealing their tracks, so under normal circumstances, most spacefaring civilizations can detect their arrival.

"No problem, once they're on my turf, I'll make sure they're treated well," Lena assured, patting her chest.

Lena immediately contacted Pan Zhen in front of Meng Huaifeng.

"My Goddess, this is the first time you've contacted me," Pan Zhen said, somewhat surprised.

"Ahem, that's because I trust you, my dear minister. I have a few friends who will be arriving on our Lieyang Star in the next few days. Please arrange for them to be well received and not to embarrass this goddess," Lena said.

"Friends? What friends?" Pan Zhen asked, frowning.

“Friends from the Star Train, let me tell you, any one of them could easily defeat the Demon Queen Morgana and make her flee in disarray. You are probably no match for her... you are almost certainly no match for her either. Treat them to the highest standards, so don’t you dare to neglect them,” Lena boasted with a hint of pride.

See how right it was for me to come to Earth? If I hadn't come to Earth, would I have made such a group of amazing friends?

Look at you, old-fashioned geek, daring to lecture this goddess every day.

Pan Zhen had been secretly protecting Lena, so he naturally knew about the Starry Sky Train and the incident where Meng Huaifeng and his two companions injured Morgana.

Although he felt that Lena was exaggerating a bit, the fact that the three of them could overpower the Demon Queen was something that few people in the known universe could do.

They deserve to be received with the highest level of hospitality!
"This old minister obeys." Pan Zhen was unusually respectful for once.
"All done. I guarantee your companions will have a great time on Lieyang Star. If they neglect you in any way, just tell this goddess, and I'll teach them a lesson." Lena excitedly patted Meng Huaifeng on the shoulder.

This is the first time I've ever felt so respected in front of Pan Zhen. It feels great!
"Thank you, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight," Meng Huaifeng said.

A phone call suddenly came in, and as Lena answered, her expression gradually became serious.

"Looks like we're not getting to enjoy the feast, we have a mission!" Lena shouted at the top of her lungs, "Super Soldier Company, assemble!"

Lena didn't avoid him; Meng Huaifeng heard clearly that Sun Wukong had appeared.

It's likely that the Super Soldier Squad's progress exceeded Dukao's expectations, so he sent Sun Wukong ahead of time to test their combat capabilities.

The current Super Soldier Corps members are in physical condition no less than those who trained for three months in the original story.

Their combat experience, honed through virtual and real-world training, far surpassed that of Sun Wukong, so Meng Huaifeng wasn't worried that they wouldn't pass his test.

Meng Huaifeng stroked his chin. After so much virtual training, it seemed it was time for him to give everyone a test.

His phone vibrated; Lianfeng had sent him a message explaining that Sun Wukong was not an enemy and hoping they would find a reason not to interfere.

Lena has already explained the mission objective to everyone in the Super Soldier Corps.

"Big brother, aren't you going?" Ge Xiaolun asked Meng Huaifeng.

"If you expect us to solve everything, then what's the point of having you?" Meng Huaifeng said.

"But the Victorious Fighting Buddha... I'm a little unsure," Ge Xiaolun said worriedly.

"Even if we can't win, we have to fight. Don't say such discouraging things before the war has even started." Rose rolled her eyes at Ge Xiaolun.

Meng Huaifeng shook his head slightly. Virtual battles are, after all, virtual. Problems that are not apparent in virtual battles will immediately be exposed when faced with real-world situations.

It seems that exams are very necessary for them.

“I’ve found Morgana’s trail. We need to deal with her,” Meng Huaifeng said earnestly.

"Oh? What a coincidence?" Ge Xiaolun said with a smirk.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Your Monkey King is causing chaos everywhere. Every second we delay will result in countless losses. Let's go now!" Lena urged.

The Super Soldier Company left under Lena's leadership, but Lena was called away by Dukao for some reason along the way. "Where is Morgana? Hurry up, we must catch her this time!" March 7th said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"They were lying, they didn't find her. Morgana is not only skilled at escaping, but also an expert at hiding her tracks. Even the Heavenly Inquiry Technique couldn't find her," Meng Huaifeng said, shrugging.

"Huh?" March 7th's mouth opened slightly.

“Sun Wukong is there to test the results of the Super Soldier Corps. Don’t you even look at your phone in March?” Xing said disdainfully.

"Does everyone hang out on their phone all day like you? There's no need to lie to me then," March 7th pouted.

“First of all, I was lying to them. Who knew you would believe me?” Meng Huaifeng said helplessly. “Secondly, it was to make them think that they were the only ones fighting Sun Wukong. Having a backup and not having a backup make a huge difference in their mindset during the battle, which can more accurately reflect their true abilities.”

“It seems like we’ve always had a strong support system behind us, and we’ve never experienced anything like this before,” said March 7th.

“There’s one difference. Sister Ji, Uncle Yang, and Dan Heng have always been behind us. But after we leave, protecting Blue Star will depend on them alone.” Meng Huaifeng held up one finger.

"Who said that? If they encounter problems they can't solve, they can ask us for help. We have boundary anchors, so we can get there quickly." March 7 suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"That's true." Meng Huaifeng rubbed his nose somewhat awkwardly.

Oh no, is this what they mean by "even the wisest can make a mistake"?

March actually refuted it!

"Let's go and see what's going on. Let's see how the Super Soldier Company performs under our training," Meng Huaifeng said, changing the subject.

Meng Huaifeng found the best viewing spot not far from where Sun Wukong appeared and teleported the train crew there.

To achieve a realistic effect, the military region actually cooperated with Sun Wukong to destroy a batch of decommissioned fighter jets and tanks.

The surrounding area was a scene of war.

The Super Soldier Corps finally arrived at the battlefield.

Meng Huaifeng's virtual training was effective. At least the Super Soldier Corps learned that although the Dark Alloy Armor could hide their dark information, they could still be seen and heard directly, rather than being invisible.

The Super Soldier Corps operated covertly until they were within one kilometer of Sun Wukong, at which point Ge Xiaolun, acting as a human shield, appeared alone to draw attention.

"Sun Wukong, why are you causing trouble?" Ge Xiaolun shouted at Sun Wukong.

Why? Of course, it's to test your abilities.

Without saying a word, Sun Wukong slammed his staff down and sent Ge Xiaolun flying.

Although the Super Soldier Squad's strength has increased by leaps and bounds in the past month, their personalities have not changed much.

Rose also tried to negotiate with Sun Wukong, believing it was a misunderstanding.

The others couldn't hold back any longer and acted in perfect unison.

Cheng Yaowen took the initiative, conjuring a giant hand from the earth and rocks to grab Sun Wukong, preventing Sun Wukong from inflicting secondary damage on Ge Xiaolun.

Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang flanked Sun Wukong from both sides.

Qi Lin did not stay with the main force, but remained hidden at a more distant location, constantly looking for opportunities to snipe.

Rui Mengmeng stayed by Qi Lin's side every step of the way.

Their teamwork was quite good, rather than each player playing their own game.

Their combat skills and awareness are also much stronger, allowing them to more accurately identify Sun Wukong's weaknesses.

If there are no weaknesses, then find a way to create weaknesses so that others can find opportunities.

"Not bad, all our hard work was worth it." Meng Huaifeng nodded in satisfaction.

"Rose usually seems the most mature and reliable, I didn't expect this to be her last moment of enlightenment and getting into character," March 7 said in surprise.

"This monkey isn't all that great. I could take on ten of them," Xing said, looking at the monkey that was locked in a fierce battle with the Super Soldier Company.

"Little kid, don't be so arrogant."

A calm, unfamiliar voice sounded from behind.

The four turned around and saw yet another Sun Wukong appear before them.

"I don't have bad breath." Xing covered her mouth, exhaled, and smelled it.

"Huh? Two Sun Wukongs?" March 7th looked at the Sun Wukong in front of him, then at the Sun Wukong fighting with the Super Soldier Squad at the foot of the mountain, and exclaimed in surprise.

"That was just one of my clones, not even a tenth of my strength." Sun Wukong took a few steps forward, looked at the battle at the foot of the mountain, and continued, "To have trained these kids to this level in just one month is truly impressive."

"You flatter me, Great Sage," Meng Huaifeng said modestly.

"You know me?" Sun Wukong asked in surprise.

“My hometown also has the legend of Journey to the West. Although you are not the same as the one in the legend, your actions in protecting Blue Star are still worthy of respect,” Meng Huaifeng said.

Worship and respect are two different things.

He doesn't idolize this tech monkey, but that doesn't stop him from respecting its work.

"Haha, protecting this land is my responsibility, I can't accept it, I can't accept it." Sun Wukong was happy and said, "I've heard about you from Old Du. You have no connection with this planet, yet you don't seek fame or fortune and are willing to lend a helping hand. I, Old Sun, can't do that. I should admire you. Thank you."

His keen eyes not only read hidden information but also allowed him to recognize countless people; he could basically tell what kind of person someone was at a glance.

The train crew seemed so innocent and pure to him; even the older one had no ill intentions and was full of righteousness.

Old Du previously said that they might have ulterior motives towards Blue Star. How could that be?

One person might be wrong, but it's impossible for four people to all be wrong.

If he's really wrong about everything, he'll gouge out those sharp eyes!

“We are just nameless people, and it’s our duty to uphold justice,” March 7th said matter-of-factly.

"What did this monkey do?" Xing asked, nudging Meng Huaifeng with his elbow.

Sun Wukong wasn't angry about the way the star was addressed; after all, the star wasn't from Earth, so it was normal for them not to know him.

"More than a thousand years ago, the Lieyang Civilization invaded Blue Star and destroyed seven cities. In a fit of rage, Sun Wukong stormed the Heavenly Court in the Clouds and fought against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals by himself, ultimately repelling the Lieyang Civilization. He is the true guardian of Blue Star," Meng Huaifeng explained to everyone.

"The Blazing Sun Civilization? Isn't that Lena's hometown? They still have this kind of grudge?" March 7th exclaimed in surprise.

"Lena wasn't even born then, so it's not her fault. But it's hard to say what the other elders of the Blazing Sun Civilization thought of Blue Star and Sun Wukong," Meng Huaifeng said.
