Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

"Don't you have any self-awareness?!"

"What do I know? I don't even know what's written on it!"

On March 7th, he ripped the light cone off and shoved it back into his hand, then crossed his arms and turned his face away.

Dan Heng glanced at her, then at Qi Ye, her lips seemed to twitch slightly, but she said nothing.

Just then, the hatch opened.

A man wearing glasses walked in, his steps steady and his demeanor gentle.

It was Walter, whom Qiye hadn't seen during her earlier scan.

"Himeko, the Black Tower Space Station has sent a distress signal. The antimatter legion has launched a surprise attack, and the space station's defenses are about to collapse."

They requested assistance from the Star Train.

Qi Ye was stunned for a moment.

Black Tower Space Station? Antimatter Legion?

Wait a minute—isn't this where the story just began?

The Black Tower Space Station was attacked, and March 7th and Danheng went to its rescue, where they found a star along the way...

No wonder I didn't see any stars.

Himeko had already stood up:

"Danheng, March 7th, you two go to the space station for a rescue mission. I'll be there shortly."

Walter, you stay on the train and assist with command.

Danheng nodded, and Sanyueqi also stopped blushing and became serious.

Qi Ye looked at Dan Heng, then at March 7th, and then pointed to herself:

"Um... I actually have the ability to fight back."

On March 7th, he turned to look at him, his face clearly saying, "You're kidding me."

"You? Aren't you the one who sells light cones?"

"Selling light cones is my main job, and I also do some fighting on the side."

Qi Ye straightened up, trying to make himself look like a capable fighter.

March 7th looked suspicious.

Dan Heng glanced at him, his face expressionless.

Himeko thought for a moment, then nodded: "The more people, the more help. Go."

"Himeko-nee!" March 7th exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"Didn't he say he was capable of fighting?"

Himeko smiled, her eyes holding a meaningful look.

"Perfect, you can assess your new friend's capabilities on the way."

March 7th opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

She glared at Qiye angrily, then crossed her arms and walked toward the cabin door.

"Don't hold us back."

"Don't worry, it won't take long."

While Qi Ye spoke casually, he was actually frantically searching through the system's inventory.

His eyes lit up quickly.

[Light Cone Name: "The Man with His Own Background Music"]

[Ability: Automatically plays exclusive background music during battle, increasing the host's combat power by 500% during the duration of the background music.]

[Friendly reminder: You're undeniably handsome, but also undeniably awkward. We recommend using it in less crowded areas if possible.]

...Alright. At least we can fight.

Qi Ye silently closed the system panel and followed in the footsteps of San Yueqi and Dan Heng.

Black Tower Space Station.

As soon as Qi Ye got off the vehicle, before he could even get a good look at his surroundings, a group of phantom soldiers rushed towards him.

Its body, composed of twisted particles, glows with a dark purple light.

There were at least four or five of them, and they were surging in from the end of the corridor.

Dan Heng held his spear horizontally, assuming a fighting stance: "Prepare to meet the enemy."

On the seventh day of the third month, the bowstring was drawn, and ice crystals condensed.

Then she suddenly turned to look at Qiye, a smile playing on her lips, took a step back, and gestured for him to enter.

"Didn't you say you were capable of fighting? Go! Let us see your strength."

Qi Ye glanced at the surging vacancies.

He glanced at March 7's obviously gloating expression and took a deep breath.

"Alright. You all step back."

Dan Heng frowned slightly, while San Yueqi raised an eyebrow, and the two of them each took a step back.

Qi Ye stood still and closed her eyes.

[System notification: "The man with his own background music" has been activated]

[Exclusive background music loading... Automatically matching based on the host's current mental state...]

Matching complete

[Music Track: 300 Children's Poems]

[Style: Instructive]

Qi Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Wait, what does "Three Hundred Children's Poems" mean?

The next second, music started playing.

A familiar yet unfamiliar melody appears.

A male voice spoke.

"Child~ Child~ Why are you so bad~"

"Why did you do this to bully and deceive me?"

March 7th's expression changed from schadenfreude to an unfathomable bewilderment.

Danheng's eyebrows twitched.

A warm yellow spotlight descended from the sky and shone on Qi Ye, with a halo of light around its edge.

Qi Ye opened her eyes.

He opened his mouth, and his voice automatically became that kind of lifeless yet inexplicably sincere tone.

"Feint! Feint! Don't run so fast!♪"

Let me read you a passage from "Three Hundred Children's Poems"—I guarantee you'll become well-behaved after hearing it!♪

March 7th stared in disbelief.

"Where did you get this robe?! When did you put it on?!"

And this staff! Where did the space station get a staff?!

Qi Ye looked down and realized that he had somehow ended up wearing a golden cassock.

He also held a nine-ringed tin staff in his hand, the rings on the staff jingling.

Each sound bursts forth a tiny golden lotus flower.

"This wasn't my choice!!!"

His protest was automatically corrected into the next musical phrase.

The first pawn has already charged right in front of us.

Qi Ye raised his tin staff and slammed it to the ground.

"clang"

With a crisp, loud sound, a ring of golden ripples spread out from the bottom of the staff, spreading out like waves.

The pawn was hit by the ripples, and its entire body seemed to be paused, frozen in place.

Qi Ye leaned closer to it, and with a kind and gentle expression, began to sing:

"Child~ Child~ Why are you so bad~♪"

Were we born here to collect a debt?♪

You must be obedient~ You must study well~ Don't go astray~

Otherwise, your teacher will be very sad, very sad, sigh~♪”

With each line sung, the golden character for "goodness" floated from Qi Ye's lips.

It floated into the soldier's ears like a bubble.

The soldier's body began to tremble.

The dark purple particles faded slowly, like color fading, and were replaced by a layer of warm golden light.

"Good boy~ Put down the butcher's knife~ Become a Buddha on the spot~♪"

Repeat after me, "I am a good child"—once is enough!♪

Qi Ye's voice sounded like a kindergarten teacher soothing a child during their afternoon nap.

The soldier opened his mouth, but actually uttered a muffled sound:

"...I...am...a...good...child..."

The camera was already raised sometime during March 7th.

After Xu Zu finished speaking, his entire body exploded with a "bang," and dark purple particles scattered in all directions.

It left behind a small, golden, glutinous rice ball-shaped object.

The glutinous rice ball has two beady eyes and a smiling mouth, and a small flower on its head.

It jumped up and made a soft, childish sound:

"Thank you, Master!"

Then it turned into golden light and disappeared.

March 7th's hands trembled even more violently.

A second pawn pounced from the side.

Qi Ye turned around, slammed his staff on the ground, and another circle of golden ripples appeared.

The flank was immobilized.

Qi Ye sighed, the sigh automatically drawn out into a glissando, full of compassion and helplessness.

"Child~ Child~ Why don't you study hard~♪"

Fighting all day long is no good. Why not learn from me how to grow flowers, melons, and beans?♪

Plant a good child in spring, and you'll reap a bunch of well-behaved babies in autumn!♪

As he spoke, he actually pulled a handful of golden seeds from the sleeve of his robe and scattered them on the heads of the soldiers.

The seed landed on the soldier and immediately took root and sprouted.

Golden seedlings sprouted, each with a small tag that read:

"乖" (guāi), "孝" (xiào), "悌" (tǐ), "信" (xìn).

The vacant soldier, like a tree saturated with fertilizer, faded from its dark purple hue.

A golden vine grew from his body, and a sunflower bloomed at the top of the vine.

Sunflower turned its head and gave Qiye a bright smile.

The illusory soldier's true form has disappeared.

The sunflower shook its petals, and a line of children's doodle font appeared on them:

"Mom, I've grown up."

Then the entire plant turned into points of light and disappeared.

On March 7th, I finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

The third and fourth pawns charged forward together.

This time, Qi Ye didn't even pause with his staff; he opened his arms wide as if to embrace them.

"Children~children~you've come at the perfect time~♪"

Here are three hundred more poems for me to teach you, one by one, slowly~♪

The first song is called "No Picky Eating Song".

The second song is titled "Greet Your Elders When You See Them."

The third song is titled "Do Your Own Things Yourself".

The fourth song is titled "Don't Bully the Little Classmates".

He sang faster and faster, but the melody remained a lifeless, sluggish rhythm, creating a strange contrast.

The two pawns were forced to retreat step by step by him.

Dark purple particles fell downwards, and the particles that fell to the ground sprouted small grasses.

"Don't come any closer!!!"

This was shouted on behalf of the soldiers on March 7th.

"Don't run away~ Your teacher hasn't finished singing yet~♪"

The fifth song is titled "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

The sixth song ~ "Toys Should Be Shared" ~♪

The dummy unit finally collapsed.

The two pawns simultaneously transformed into two small golden dumplings with two "poof" sounds, each dumpling bearing a line of text:

"I'll be good and stop singing."

"Please, I'll go home and do my homework."

Then the two little dumplings held hands and disappeared without looking back.

The fifth pawn stood at the end of the corridor, witnessing the entire event.

It actually stood there, trembling all over.

Qi Ye looked at it, a saintly smile on his face, and opened his arms.

Come on, child, don't be afraid!♪

"I will never hurt you~ I will only give you love~ warmth~ and homework~♪"

The trembling of the pawn suddenly stopped.

Then, it solemnly performed a gesture.

It put its two front paws together and bowed three times to Qiye.

With a "poof" sound.

It transformed into a golden lotus flower, upon which rested a piece of paper:

"Master, this disciple is leaving!"

On March 7th, he finally burst out laughing, laughing so hard he squatted on the ground, almost dropping his camera.

The corridor returned to silence.

The cassock and staff on Qi Ye's body slowly disappeared, and the spotlight went out.

He stood amidst a golden afterglow, his expression one of utter despair.

Dan Heng remained silent for a long time before saying a few words:

"...Incredibly wonderful."

March 7th got up, wiped away the tears of laughter, and raised the camera to aim at Qiye.

What are you doing?

"I think this video could be sold to others as an educational film in the future."

Qiye closed her eyes in despair.

...I never want to use this light cone again.
