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

[Gold Sand: In other words, it's a battle between Immortal Boat swordsmanship and the company's mecha. Originally, your match wouldn't have reached this level. But through his rhetoric, he escalated it into a life-or-death struggle between two tactical superiorities. Especially since he adopted the attitude of a powerful dragon suppressing a local snake; just think about it, with a little publicity, trending on social media would be a piece of cake. And if he wins this gamble, mecha sales at Immortal Boat will skyrocket. This isn't just a significant achievement, but a huge accomplishment, guaranteeing a promotion and a raise. This time, he's not just after venting his anger; he wants to recoup all his previous losses and then win big.]

[March 7th: Holy crap... She's using me as a stepping stone?!]

[Su Chang: Huh? Is the water this deep? I almost thought Scott had completely gone mad.]

[Huo Huo: Miss Su Chang, it seems... you're not quite there yet, are you?]

[Fireworks: How dare you! The March Rabbit treats you like her grandson, and you don't even acknowledge her as her ancestor?! What is this?! This is blasphemy! Little Gray, how can you tolerate this?!]

[Star: I can't take it anymore! March... let's just back down. What if we embarrass the Immortal Boat Sword Technique...]

[Hanabi: Cough cough cough! What's wrong with you?]

[Star: Firstly? It's just a sword fight, how can it be divided into ranks?]

[Silver Wolf: Tsk, reminds me of a two-word game I played before. I just kindly saved someone on the road, but a chain reaction led to an incredibly long quest chain, and I ended up accidentally saving a whole country. Tsk, *The Forest Book*... why didn't they explain that beforehand?!]

On March 7th, the group made up their minds to fight Scott to the death.

But before it started, I was still a little apprehensive.

She said to Xing, "Xing, before we formally begin learning swordsmanship, I've noticed you haven't said much. Do you have any suggestions?"

Xing crossed his arms, shook his head, and gave her ten words of advice: "When you're out in the world, rely on your friends; you'll always have unexpected encounters."

Upon hearing the word "serendipitous encounter," which seemed to imply effortless gain, March 7th immediately became intrigued: "Serendipitous encounters like in martial arts novels? But what kind of encounters could I possibly have...?"

This Immortal Ship Luofu isn't some undeveloped, desolate wasteland. Surely it's not like some nameless expert's tomb will suddenly appear out of nowhere, right?

Even if they did, it would be the property of the Immortal Ship. If the Cloud Cavalry pulled the barrier, could they possibly force their way through?

Xing stroked her chin, her imagination running wild: "An unexpected encounter with a wandering ghost? Accidentally ingesting a miraculous elixir? Solving a cleverly crafted puzzle? Receiving guidance from a master?"

"I wish I could really meet him." March 7th pouted, her eyes full of anticipation. But she wasn't just daydreaming; she also understood that diligent study and practice were the safest strategy.

"That's all for now, Hoshino. Remember to keep a close eye on my sword practice!"

Under the meticulously planned training program devised by Yanqing and Yunli, March 7th's journey to becoming a great hero began in an orderly manner.

"Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger, eat less carbohydrates!"

"Practicing swordsmanship without playing will turn even the clever March into a fool~~"

[Star: It's okay, train like crazy. I'm still just as stupid anyway. Bad news: You have to sacrifice your intelligence to increase your combat power. Good news: My intelligence is zero! That's practically no cost.]

[March 7th: Ugh~~ Just looking at this makes me so tired. Maybe I should have some unexpected adventures to help them grow faster... Hey? Did you just insult me?]

He studied and practiced diligently every day from March 7th, balancing work and rest. His swordsmanship improved rapidly, and he soon passed a small assessment.

And in a dark corner above Luofu...

Scott finally received the intelligence scout: "Have you found out?"

The two company employees said, "We've found out. That girl was also an unnamed passenger on the Starry Sky Train, and her strength shouldn't be underestimated."

As he spoke, he glanced furtively at his superior's expression and stammered, "Commissioner Scott, do you think this bet is a bit risky?"

After all, you were tricked by them last time.

Hearing such words of cowardice before the battle even begins, which were intended to demoralize the troops, Scott immediately flew into a rage: "What's there to be afraid of when there's risk? Have you ever met the big shots in the strategic investment department? Do you see any of them making deals that are guaranteed to make a profit!"

[Star: I've seen them, I've seen three of them.]

[Undying Path: I know one too.]

[Gold Placer: Hmph~~ Trading itself is certainly not a guaranteed profit, but experience in the industry is.]

[Fireworks: Oh ho, you got away with it, little peacock.]

He could say that to his underlings, but Scott still couldn't help feeling lingering fear when he thought of the Star Train.

Scott gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "You dare to play dumb in front of me? You, go and get me the best mechs around here!"

The employee hurriedly replied, "Yes, we are searching for mechs in stock."

Scott, half skeptical and half trying to bolster his own confidence, said, "I want to see just how capable these apprentices from your '15-day crash course' really are!"

[Star: March, we must win! If we lose now, it won't just be a disgrace to the Immortal Boat Sword Technique, it will be a disgrace to the entire universe!]

[March 7th: I didn't want to either, but I had to meow like a pig next to me...]

As time went by, March 7th made steady progress, even smoothing out her impulsive nature, and successfully passed yet another assessment.

During the break, March 7th chatted idly with a few people: "By the way, in the fantasy play, the heroes always hide their strength before the battle begins."

Xing wholeheartedly agreed: "After all, those who say they 'will win' usually end up losing."

March 7th said with an air of wisdom, "Ah, this is the wisdom of experience."

Yun Li smiled and said, "Judging from the test just now, you still need some time before you can truly master it. But you've already done a great job. I'll treat you all to milk tea today!"

...On the other side, in a dark corner of Luofu...

Company employees reported the intelligence they had gathered in real time: "The progress report on the Nameless Guest's sword learning is complete. Commissioner Scott, is there nothing else to do now?"

"Huh?!" Scott was in a state of agitation, easily provoked. "Are you mocking me?"

The employee, trembling with fear, hurriedly explained, "I mean, don't I have any other work to do? I've been supervising that young girl learning swordsmanship, and I feel like I'm wasting my time, and I feel a little guilty about it..."

[Qingque: What? Innate Ox-Horse Sacred Body? I'd be overjoyed to have such a great overseas assignment.]

This was the first time Scott had ever encountered such a shameless employee. He tried to reason with him, "Are you wasting your time? You're safeguarding the reputation of Interstellar Peace Corporation and the honor of Amber King!"

[Star: Is it an honor equal to the name of the March 7th Train Sword Master? That's very valuable.]
