Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

The air was filled with the hazy mist of steam, and the sound of running water from the bathtub was enough to relax the audience who had been on edge for so long.

In a bathtub spacious enough for three people to share, Xing Gaojuan, with her signature long gray hair, leisurely displayed her singing voice.

"Hmm, hehehe~~~"

Shut up and sing her praises: "A sweet scent caresses the nostrils, it comes from the seven-colored bath salts of the Marble Palace."

"Ah~ What a perfect journey! [Recreation] is successfully completed, and you have written a perfect ending for the heroes."

Xing was quite pleased with herself, feeling smug and proud, and her humming became even more upbeat: "Deng deng, deng deng deng deng deng deng~~".

He kept silent, attending to the star's bath with the utmost flattery: "Chasing fire is a journey of constant loss—until you make your dazzling entrance and turn the tide."

"The Lord of Annihilation? The Iron Tomb? Mere toys of the [Outreach]. The galaxy is safe now, because—"

Upon hearing the word "because," Xing reflexively shouted, "Shut up!"

The screen went black.

[March 7th: Wait, why? Don't stop halfway through your sentence!]

[Dan Heng: Most likely another lame joke. Be careful to keep warm while showering to avoid catching a cold; Xing was right to interrupt him.]

[Star: Oh dear, even I get shy being watched by so many people. Could you all please give me 50 virtual coins each? Live streams of Akivili's life are very expensive!]

[March 7th: You... who was just afraid of being captured by Changyeyue to play some weird games? By the way, is Changyeyue that powerful? Not only did she lead everyone to take down the Iron Tomb, but it seems like even Onpharos was rescued?]

[Xi Lian: What a beautiful, fairytale ending♪...I really want to believe it, but...I feel like something's fishy going on.]

[Black Tower: Something's not right. What the hell is going on here?]

[Wan Di: Hmm... I didn't expect Xing's physical abilities to be so formidable. Taking a bath is even more brutal than being boiled in a cauldron. That bubbling red bathwater... is it chili water?]

[Bai'er: Medemos, your focus is quite strange.]

[Wan Di: I'll never lose face, even if I lose the fight. I'll challenge you the same way again. Bai E, are you afraid?]

[Bai E: I... who am I afraid of?!]

[March 7th: ? ? ?]

"Hello, hello, hello! This is the train announcement—"

Pam's voice echoed throughout the train: "The route meeting is about to begin! Passengers, please proceed to the observation car to discuss our next destination, Pam!"

Just then, Xing also finished washing up.

After changing her clothes, she stretched lazily: "Mmm~~ I feel refreshed. Perfect timing, let's go to the meeting now."

"Hmm? Who left this note?" Xing frowned slightly, feeling a strange emptiness in her mind. "Strange, I feel like..."

An impulse surged into her heart, urging her to read the contents of the note.

She shook her head and saw a line of very delicate small characters above.

"Star, let's travel together forever and ever."

Signed: Your partner, March 7th.

[Star: Hmm... Is it appropriate to say something like that after taking a shower? Besides, doesn't that sound like a flag?]

[March 7th: Do I usually talk like this?]

"What a heavy message." Xing scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"March...when was it placed here? I didn't hear a sound...oh well, I'll just go and ask in person."

As she turned to leave, she noticed a painting floating in the center of her room.

The content is a torn piece of paper, with several arms working together to pry it open along the seam.

This aesthetic... is really quite abstract.

Xing frowned slightly: "How could so many surprises come about while I was just taking a bath?"

But who is she? Compared to her thinking, she's nothing!

"Let's go take a look..."

Just as I took a step, I suddenly heard a faint voice echoing around, sometimes near, sometimes far.

"Please be quiet, I think I've found her."

"...Who?" Xing was slightly surprised.

This painting speaks volumes!

[Robin: That voice, is it my brother?]

[Sunday: It is indeed me. But why, now that everything has settled, am I still lingering on the train? Has some deep friendship been forged, leading me to stay a few more days? And why does my voice come from within the painting?]

[Black Tower: Hmph, I see...]

She calmly took a sip of coffee.

[Black Tower: Long Night Moon is quite good at coaxing children.]

[March 7th: Huh? What does that mean?]

"This is..." Xing pinched her chin, staring at the painting suspiciously.

The harmonious melody rang in her ears again, drawing her to touch the painting before her...

"Wake up, Star." It was as if someone whispered in my ear.

What does it mean to wake up?

Before she could ask a question, a blinding white light flashed before Xing's eyes, and she quickly raised her hand to shield her eyes.

When the light disappeared and she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a magnificent, golden corridor.

"Huh?" Xing's eyes widened as she looked left and right. "This is... the Daydream Hotel?"

The stars outside the light screen are more confused than their future selves.

The strange atmosphere and constantly changing scenes made her dizzy.

"Where did this come from? When did trains get teleportation portals? With something this convenient, who would still use warp drive?"

Her perspective followed her reflection in the light screen as she traversed the corridor and descended the stairs. In the hotel lobby, she found the entire train crew, who had formed a circle around the station.

However, Pam's first words made her laugh in exasperation: "Star passenger, why are you so late? Hurry up, the flight is about to begin."

"A flight route meeting...at Pinocchio?"

[Star: I... Hahaha, this is like an old lady crawling into bed—it made me laugh so hard. What is this thing?! Did the train secretly renovate while I was showering? Why didn't they tell me? And how did they manage to install two huge fountains in the carriage? I thought only party carriages had different sizes inside and out. Or is Pinocchio planning to be incorporated into the train, so we'll be traveling through the galaxy with Dream Star from now on? Is this even possible?!]

[Himeko: It seems the answer is already quite obvious. Black Tower, your reaction is as quick as ever.]

[Black Tower: Merely insignificant insight, not worth mentioning. Considering Chang Yeyue's abilities, it's truly difficult to see through him.]

[Star: Long Night Moon did a really sloppy job. Did I lose my sight in the fight with the Iron Tomb? How blind do you have to be to not see?]

[Danheng: No, it's obvious that Sunday changed the situation. His "Wake up!" wasn't just a shout.]

[Sunday: Just doing my bit, hoping it can help everyone.]

[March 7th: What are you guys talking about? It's like I'm the only one in the whole world who's still in the dark.]
