The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 163 Daily Life: A Banquet on the Train

After drinking the nectar that Danheng gave him, Meng Huaifeng felt a wave of relaxation wash over him, as if he were soaking in a hot spring, so comfortable that he wanted to fall asleep.

Meng Huaifeng wanted to wait until March 7th, but before he knew it, he had fallen asleep again while leaning against his pillow.

"Asleep again?"

Not long after returning, March 7th scratched his head and placed the food on the bedside table.

This time, Meng Huaifeng didn't sleep for long; he woke up again after a little over an hour.

Moreover, they were full of energy and did not feel groggy at all after staying up all night and then waking up from a long sleep.

Upon waking up, Meng Huaifeng immediately saw March 7th carrying a plate and about to leave.

“March,” Meng Huaifeng called out.

"Hey? Wait a minute, it's a bit cold, let me warm it up for you." March 7th turned around and smiled brightly.

"No need for all that trouble, just eat it. There's no need to be so fussy." Meng Huaifeng got out of bed and took the plate from San Yueqi's hand.

Having not eaten properly for more than ten days and having slept for two days, Meng Huaifeng was indeed hungry. After eating, he only felt that he had filled his stomach.

I went downstairs into the party car and greeted him with my mouth shut.

"Passenger Huaifeng, you're awake. Would you like to hear a joke to relax?" Shut up asked.

"Shut up, give me a glass of lemonade," Meng Huaifeng said.

Shut up. He felt that Meng Huaifeng was calling his name, not telling him to shut up.

So, while making lemonade, he said, "The Grim Reaper woke up to find himself transformed into the Demon Queen, but he wasn't panicked. Do you know why? Because the Grim Reaper possesses the ability to change bodies, and 'changing bodies' sounds like 'illusion body,' which is quite amusing."

"...You're quite up-to-date with current events." Meng Huaifeng was rather speechless.

"Of course, constantly creating new jokes is the only way to keep passengers interested. So, did you like this joke?" Shut up and placed the lemonade on the counter.

"If you describe in detail the psychological process of Death transforming into the Demon Queen, I might be interested." Meng Huaifeng picked up his lemonade and walked towards the observation car.

"Thoughts? Oh, that seems to trigger a 404 ban, and I'll be torn apart by Ms. Himeko." He shut up and muttered.

Upon entering the observation carriage, the train crew was already there.

Himeko, Walter, Pam, Zhu Zhuqing, Hongkou, and Dawn all expressed their concern.

"I wasn't injured, so what could have happened? I've fully recovered now, so don't worry," Meng Huaifeng said with a smile.

“Now that Huaifeng is alright and everyone is here, let’s have a banquet today to reward everyone,” Pam decided.

"Great!" Meng Huaifeng swallowed, instantly feeling that he had completely digested what he had just eaten.

For the past ten days or so, he had been eating while coding, but he has no recollection of what he ate.

Finally, we can improve our meals.

“I’ll help you,” March 7th volunteered.

Xing also went to the kitchen, but was soon kicked out with flour on her face.

"Want to play a game?" Dan Heng pointed to the chess set on the coffee table.

“Playing with just two people is no fun. I have an idea.” Meng Huaifeng had a flash of inspiration.

Meng Huaifeng stood up and went to the widest part of the carriage. With a wave of his hand, a projection appeared in the middle of the carriage.

The projection is in the shape of a nine-sided board, with a chessboard at each corner. Lifelike chess pieces stand on the board, arrayed like soldiers and horses, with banners unfurled, creating a palpable sense of the grim atmosphere of a battlefield.

In the center of the nine-sided shape lies the Central Plains, an unclaimed territory. It is foreseeable that once the game begins, this will be the most brutal place of battle, where every move could lead to being attacked by the other eight players.

“One person, one country; nine countries in chaos; let’s see who can unify the land in the end, what do you say?” Meng Huaifeng looked at the others.

"Come on, I want to unify the country!" Xing, who had just been kicked out of the kitchen, was still a little resentful, but seeing Meng Huaifeng's fancy moves, she instantly forgot about it and eagerly responded.

"That's interesting. This makes the game much more complicated. While attacking others, you also have to guard against others sneaking into your base," Dan Heng said with great interest.

“You have to be extra careful when exchanging cards, because you could end up doing all the work for someone else. There are many things to consider,” Walter pondered.

"Then I'll play a game with you guys," Himeko said, not wanting to spoil the fun at all.

Everyone else agreed.

“I will inform March,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"Such a complicated game, you won't be able to play it in March," Xing said dismissively.

Meng Huaifeng thought for a moment that before March 7th, he only controlled one piece to charge around recklessly, and only after it was captured did he remember to control other pieces.

With another wave of his hand, the nine-sided shape turned into an octagon. Let's not call it March.

Her presence will only cause headaches.

Each person stands in a corner, acting as the general or commander. They only need to give orders, and the pieces will obey.

Meng Huaifeng snapped his fingers, and the first character of everyone's name appeared on the banner of their respective chess piece, representing their faction affiliation.

At the same time, a small control panel floats in front of everyone.

Of course, Meng Huaifeng didn't need to; with just a thought, the chess pieces would react accordingly.

Watching the pieces move constantly on the chessboard, Meng Huaifeng pondered, "Should we add fog?"
Is it reasonable to have such a clear view of the troop movements of other countries?
Meng Huaifeng shook his head violently. It's just for entertainment, why make it so complicated?

At first, everyone was extremely cautious, only daring to invade the two neighboring countries. As the number of pieces decreased, the battlefield gradually shifted to the Central Plains.

Hongkou and Poxiao formed an alliance, but both of them were relatively inexperienced, and even the alliance was eventually eliminated after Zhu Zhuqing.

The Star's moves are the most aggressive. Although it has killed countless enemies, it has also suffered heavy losses. Now it only has a few pieces left, barely managing to defend its base.

Meng Huaifeng's troops entered Xing's headquarters without showing any mercy.

"You tyrant, prepare to die!"

Meng Huaifeng reached out and made a gesture as if to grab a chess piece, then slammed it down hard on the general piece representing the star.

As Meng Huaifeng moved, the cavalry representing the horse piece leaped towards the general piece representing the star, and its size increased several notches in mid-air.

At the same time, a golden, majestic, and domineering deity emerged from behind the cavalry, plunging his array sword down and unleashing countless bolts of lightning.

The king's piece was instantly reduced to ashes, the cavalry landed on the king's position, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the rest of the king's pieces also turned to ashes.

The capture of the general means complete elimination.

Staring in disbelief at the dazzling special effects, Xing murmured, "Is that your horse... General Shence?"

“No.” Meng Huaifeng shook his head.

"If he's not the one, why should he summon the God Lord?" Xing glared angrily at Meng Huaifeng.

"I added a little bit of a click-kill effect." Meng Huaifeng cracked his knuckles.

"Then why didn't I get a kill effect when I eliminated Zhu Qing?" Xing asked.

"Oh, I didn't think of that back then. I just designed it, isn't it cool?" Meng Huaifeng asked with satisfaction.

"You're handsome... but why do you have it and I don't? That's not fair!" Xing protested.

"I made the chessboard," Meng Huaifeng said matter-of-factly. "I don't care, I want it too," Xing puffed out her cheeks.

“But you’ve already been eliminated.” Meng Huaifeng shrugged.

"You privilege dog, prepare to die!" Xing jumped onto Meng Huaifeng from behind, pinning him down and pounding his little fists on the back of Meng Huaifeng's head.

"Stop, stop, I promise next time, I promise next time!" Meng Huaifeng hurriedly begged for mercy.

Xing punched Meng Huaifeng twice to vent his anger before jumping down from behind him.

"Hiss~" Meng Huaifeng grimaced and rubbed the back of his head.

However, this did not stop him from adding special effects to his own image.

Just kidding, I didn't use any cheats. What's wrong with turning on some special effects?
If I don't grant any permissions, what's the point of being a privileged user?

It doesn't affect the balance, right?

Seeing Meng Huaifeng's unique, cool and stylish chess piece effects, Ji Zi, Walter, and Dan Heng exchanged glances and silently launched an attack on Meng Huaifeng.

Meng Huaifeng fought against three cunning and shrewd individuals, and despite his best efforts, he was unable to defeat them.

Dan Heng's next move will be to put Meng Huaifeng to death.

Xing patted Meng Huaifeng on the back with a smug look on his face.

"Special effects, kill effects, don't forget to add kill effects to Dan Heng."

Meng Huaifeng curled his lip, "So you want to kill someone and then destroy their spirit, huh?"
I'd get killed and then get a kill effect on him? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

A chariot collided with Meng Huaifeng's king piece, turning it to ashes. Meng Huaifeng's remaining pieces also vanished from the chessboard.

"Those privileged dogs who only add special effects for themselves deserve it."

Meng Huaifeng was eliminated, and Xing finally felt relieved.

"Winning or losing doesn't matter. I fought three against one, and it was exhilarating. That's enough," Meng Huaifeng said righteously, seemingly genuinely unconcerned about winning or losing.

Xingcai didn't believe this explanation and looked at Meng Huaifeng with disdain.

"Well, you guys took advantage of my absence to play a new game without even calling me," March 7th said, walking out of the kitchen with her hands on her hips and a fierce look on her face.

"March, let me first explain the rules and how to play..." Xing pulled March 7 aside and started explaining.

Soon, March 7th, with her eyes red like mosquito coils, shook her head abruptly and said, "Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. I'd better go and help Pam."

March 7th ran back to the kitchen as if fleeing, and Xing raised her eyebrows triumphantly at Meng Huaifeng.

Of the eight kingdoms in the chaotic war, only the three kingdoms of Himeko, Walter, and Danheng remain in the chaos.

Himeko didn't care much about winning or losing, and played very casually, so she was quickly eliminated.

Walter and Danheng were both quite competitive.

With only the two of them left, there was no need to worry about others taking advantage of the situation, so the battle was extremely fierce and a winner was quickly decided.

Meng Huaifeng took out a bed sheet, flicked his wrist, and wove it into the shape of a dragon robe. To Dan Heng's bewildered look, he draped it over Dan Heng's shoulders.

"Congratulations to His Majesty Danheng on unifying the eight kingdoms and ascending the throne!"

Xing seamlessly continued the scene, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Xing then turned to the rest of the crowd, deliberately mimicking the tone of the chief eunuch, and said, "You were once traitors, but His Majesty, in his mercy, has spared your lives. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, why do you still not pay your respects?"

Walter's lips twitched slightly, and he looked at Dan Heng with a hint of pity in his eyes. He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't won. Thank goodness.

Ji Zi covered her mouth and chuckled, then gently cupped her hands in greeting: "Greetings, Your Majesty Dan Heng."

Dan Heng ripped off his dragon robe and grabbed Meng Huaifeng, forcibly draping it over his shoulders.

With a cold expression, he said, "I have decided to abdicate the throne to you."

After being swept over by Dan Heng's threatening gaze, Xing immediately moved closer to Meng Huaifeng and said, "Your subject Xing pays respects to the new emperor. Long live the emperor!"

Meng Huaifeng looked at the loose-fitting dragon robe on his body with some disdain. He then changed into a complete, well-fitting dragon robe.

"My ministers, have you heard this? I received this throne from His Majesty Danheng, abdicated to me. It was perfectly legitimate and lawful. Now that Danheng has abdicated, he is no longer the emperor. Do you understand?" Meng Huaifeng adjusted his flowing crown and said.

Xing glanced at Dan Heng and said arrogantly, "Dan Heng, why don't you quickly pay your respects to His Majesty?"

Dan Heng felt a few black lines appear on his forehead. He regretted it. He shouldn't have eliminated Meng Huaifeng first, giving him time to idly ponder these fancy tricks.

"Ah Xing, you've done a good job. When I've had my fill, I'll abdicate the throne to you." Meng Huaifeng looked at Xing with satisfaction.

Xing, like a sycophant, ran up behind Meng Huaifeng and massaged his back, fawningly asking, "When will you be done with this?"

"Not bad, that feels good, a little lower. When I can't do it anymore, I'll pass the throne to you, don't rush." ​​Meng Huaifeng squinted his eyes, enjoying Xing's back massage.

"How could there be a prince who has lived for eight hundred years!" Xingyi shoved Meng Huaifeng away.

Several hours later, Pam finally prepared the feast.

There was no rule against talking while eating on the train, and everyone shared interesting stories they had encountered in other civilizations.

Amidst laughter and clinking glasses, all the delicious food was devoured.

"Is there nothing left to eat? I should have made more Pam," Pam said with some guilt.

Pam was happy that all the food was eaten, but since it was all eaten, does that mean there were still people who weren't full?
"It's okay, we still have snacks!" March 7th took out a large bag of potato chips from the ticket space.

They even want to eat snacks?
You must not have eaten enough!

"Wait a minute, I'll go make some more bread!" Pam ran off to the kitchen.

March 7th put the potato chips back into her spatial storage and asked curiously, "Pam is already full, what else do you want to do?"

"Dessert after dinner?" Xing tilted her head.

After eating and drinking their fill, Meng Huaifeng and Xing dragged Dan Heng and Po Xiao to the e-sports room to play games until midnight.

After indulging in fun and games all day, Meng Huaifeng finally decided to deal with the aftermath of Karl's matter.

The train remained stationary at Death Star. Meng Huaifeng connected to the large clock and began to slowly seize control.

Meng Huaifeng discovered that the Great Clock did not entirely belong to Karl; although he had the highest authority, many others also possessed partial authority over the Great Clock.

Looking at the information of these privilege holders, they are almost all descendants of the Divine River Civilization, that is, the teachers of the Super God Academy.

These people are not as inhuman as Karl, nor are they fanatically devoted to the void.

They spread super genes everywhere, which led to the distorted development of most civilizations in this era, but it was also in order to fight against the void.

As for these super-gene possessors, the destruction caused by the technological gods cannot be blamed on them.

Once a weapon is manufactured, it will always go against the original intention of its inventor.

Even if other technologies are developed, interstellar wars will eventually break out.

This is human nature; it cannot be avoided.

Meng Huaifeng did not intend to completely take over the Great Clock, but there was one thing he had to do.

Locate Carl's genetic database within the Big Clock and delete it completely!
