"Pfft."

Himeko finally couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, alright, I know you've worked hard."

"The hardships we endure now are for the future; let's persevere a little longer."

"If there are no major problems with the training, go back and rest early."

Lu Li: "..."

Look at me in this state, how can I possibly say "there's no problem"?

Lu Li sighed and got up.

Forget it.

Although he was exhausted, what other options did he have?

After all, he chose this path himself...

"Oh, right." Himeko called out to him before he left.

"We'll be holding a jump route meeting in a few days to announce the train's next destination."

"Remember to tell them about March 7th and the others."

"……knew."

Lu Li walked away listlessly.

Watching his departing figure, Himeko picked up her coffee, took a sip, and nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough, we need to put some pressure on this guy.

Look, it's much more energetic now than that salted fish that wouldn't even flip over before.

Fortunately, Lu Li had no idea what she was thinking.

Otherwise, even if he violated the Salted Fish Rules, he would still have to ask Himeko a couple of questions about whether she had any misunderstanding of the word "spirit".

……

Over the next few days, the train traveled smoothly through space.

Lu Li has finally stepped out of her comfort zone and adapted to the current pace of life.

During the day, needless to say, he was relentlessly humiliated in the training room by Walter and Dan Heng.

In the evening, I would return to my room to watch movies, drink cola, and enjoy the last bit of salty time of the day.

Although I am abused to the point of being unable to take care of myself every day.

But Lu Li had to admit that the effects of the grueling training were truly remarkable.

He could clearly feel that his control over his power was improving at a speed that even he found incredible.

If he was a novice with brute strength who didn't know where to use it before...

Now, at least he's a salted fish that knows how to bite.

His sparring with Danheng also changed from being one-sidedly beaten at the beginning to being able to fight back and forth.

...Although in the end, Dan Heng would still shoot his weapon away from all sorts of unbelievable angles.

But at least they're no longer as helpless as before.

And it must be said, that black longsword was really easy to use.

The key is that it's also very durable... cough cough, very hard.

Well, from now on, this black sword will be his signature weapon!

For this reason, he gave the knife a nice name – Xianyu!

This visible increase in strength gave Lu Li a small sense of accomplishment.

Now, he's finally a top-tier salted fish!

Yes, of course.

It would be even better if Walter and Dan Heng went a little easier on him during training.

this day.

Lu Li finished his training as usual and dragged his tired body back to the observation car.

On March 7th, Xing and I were sitting on the sofa eating snacks and chatting. When she saw him come in, she immediately waved.

"Lu Li, come quick, come quick!"

"what?"

"Look at this!"

On March 7th, I shoved the phone right in front of him.

"The latest 'Cosmic Handsome Men Ranking' on the interstellar network! Guess what—you're on the list!"

Lu Li: "?"

He took the phone and looked at it.

The screen displayed a page that shimmered with gold.

**[Interstellar Gold List: A Chronicle of Cosmic Handsome Men]**

First place: Sunday (the head of the Pinocchio family, a perfect example of good looks and strength).

Second place: Jing Yuan (General of the Immortal Boat Luofu Divine Strategy, a lazy male god who closes his eyes to rest).

Third place: Dan Heng (Guardian of the Starry Sky Train, the epitome of aloof and abstinent nature)

……

Lu Li continued gliding along.

The tenth place.

**10th Place: Lu Li (Logistics Specialist for the Starry Sky Train, a pure love warrior who is madly in love)**

The accompanying image was a screenshot of him in the sky, holding a broken sword, with his back to the world.

Lu Li: "..."

All he wants now is to find out whoever created this ranking list, and then ask himself where he's exactly handsome.

It's more like a salted fish.

A pure-hearted warrior who is still madly in love...

Can we remove this label from him?

He's willing to spend any amount of money.

"How was it? How was it?" March 7th exclaimed excitedly, "We're tenth right off the bat!"

"That's it." Lu Li tossed the phone back expressionlessly.

Forget it, let these netizens have their fun.

Anyway, it's none of his business.

Ignore it, ignore it.

"Huh? Why? Everyone on this list is universally recognized as one of the most handsome men in the entire universe!"

"That's why I don't want to go."

Lu Li comfortably sprawled on the sofa. "I just want to be a low-key nobody, I don't want to be the center of attention in the entire universe."

"Tch, boring." March 7th curled his lip and sat down on the sofa next to him. "I think you're just being hypocritical after getting a good deal."

Seeing Lu Li lounging leisurely on the sofa, Xing felt somewhat helpless.

Generally speaking, shouldn't one's mindset change as they become stronger?

How come this guy's combat power is only increasing, but his "slacking off" attribute hasn't decreased at all?

Could it be... that the real salted fish is the true form?

Xing fell into deep thought.

Just then, Himeko and the other two, along with Pam, entered the observation car.

Himeko glanced at everyone and nodded.

"Everyone's here, let's begin the jump route meeting."

Pam hopped to the front and cleared her throat with a serious expression.

"Attention passengers! The jump route meeting is now officially open!"

March 7th jumped up from the sofa excitedly, exclaiming, "Finally, they're going to announce the next stop!"

A hint of anticipation appeared in Xing's eyes.

Lu Li yawned, rolled over, and settled into a more comfortable half-lying position.

Next stop...

The day's fatigue, combined with the comfort of the sofa, made Lu Li's eyelids start to droop.

If he remembers correctly, it seems to be Luofu.

I feel like I've forgotten something...

"Next, the stationmaster will announce the name of the next station—"

Pam's voice sounded muffled, as if it were through a layer of water.

Just as Lu Li was half asleep, a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

This taste...it's so familiar.

Where did he smell that...?

correct.

It's the lingering scent from the secret room where the star was discovered on the Black Tower Space Station... Hmm?

The moment he came to his senses, Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes, all sleepiness vanishing completely.

In the center of the observation carriage, all you could see was...

A woman in a black trench coat, holding an umbrella, stood quietly with her back to him.

Her figure was enveloped in the faint halo characteristic of holographic projection.

But that unique and dangerous aura was so real that it sent chills down your spine.

Everyone clearly noticed the uninvited guest.

"Who are you?!" March 7th was the first to raise his bow and arrow.

Dan Heng and Xing Ye simultaneously drew their weapons and entered battle mode.

But the moment the woman slowly turned around, the edge of the umbrella lifted, revealing her face.

Everyone stopped.

Then, they all turned their gazes to Lu Li on the sofa.

The woman slowly turned around.

Her gaze didn't linger on anyone else for even a second.

Her gaze never lingered on anyone else for even a moment.

Those wine-red eyes were fixed on only one person from beginning to end.
