Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

"..."

"..."

Xing looked left and right, observing the expressions of the two.

"..."

"So what do you want from me?"

Xing changed the subject and asked curiously.

"How much do you know about what's happening in Pinocchio right now?"

Liuying asked back.

Xing thought about it, then shook his head again.

"I know that there are rumors everywhere that something happened to Miss Mockingbird, but I know that it was my godfather who did it, so..."

Xing looked at Zhuqing.

"Godfather must know the most!"

"..."

Zhu Qing couldn't help but smile, quite smart.

"I know a lot, but I can't share all the information I have with you right now."

"why?"

Xing doesn't understand.

"Let me give you a hint."

Zhu Qing leaned aside and looked at Xing with a smile.

"Do you remember the train conductor's entrustment to us when we entered Pinocchio?"

"Of course, looking for the whereabouts of those three nameless guests..."

"Have you guessed it? Mikhail was one of the unknown guests back then. Guess who the legacy he left behind seemed to be for?"

"For me?"

Zhu Qing was stunned. "That makes sense."

"When the Star Train agreed to participate in the Harmonious Music Ceremony, this legacy was prepared specifically for you."

......

Chapter 121: Do you have any idea?

"But why don't I feel this inheritance you mentioned?"

Xing's expression was a little confused. She didn't feel that this inheritance favored them. It even seemed that they knew less than others.

"Because the Pinocchio incident has nothing to do with you, essentially. If I asked you to save the world together right after we met, what would you do?"

"When?"

“…”

Zhu Qing covered his forehead with his hands. He really had the leisure time to chat with this guy.

"Just giving you an example. If Pinocchio always gave you preferential treatment, would you be suspicious?"

This is a question that does not need to be discussed at all. Xing is just a big shot, but that doesn't mean she really doesn't care about anything. If it is too obvious, she can also see it.

"And judging by the Watchmaker faction's current situation, they can't offer you any preferential treatment. Why don't you think carefully about whether there's anything that only you could know or see?"

Xing fell into deep thought. No matter where she went, as long as no one pulled her, she would always wander around aimlessly. She also liked to help everywhere. No matter what happened, she liked to get involved, mainly because she could get paid.

Among the people on the Starry Sky Train, she was the one who meddled in the most matters. Apart from Walter and Ji Zi, she had the most money in her pocket.

However, although this little raccoon likes to get paid, most of the time the pay is just a bonus. She doesn't really care how much the pay is. She can save so much because she is hardworking and does all kinds of work.

Just say that you are the famous unknown guest on the Starry Sky Train, and you can solve any problem that this little raccoon can try to trick you into doing.

"I remember now, I can do the clock trick!"

Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The clock trick?"

Liuying, who was standing by, spoke up, "Is that the clock boy on TV?"

"Did you see it, too?"

Xing asked curiously.

"Huh? I've only seen it on TV."

Xing waved at the empty seat beside the two of them, "Just as I mentioned it, it's here."

Zhu Qing glanced at where Xing was waving, "Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not, Clock Boy said, only straightforward, innocent, childlike children can see it."

"what?"

Liuying on the side wanted to scratch her head. She felt that she was quite straightforward.

Zhu Qing closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then looked back at the same place.

"There is indeed a strange creature around us, but I can only feel the flow of energy and cannot see its entity. Maybe only stars can see it."

"Does the Clock Boy count as part of this strange phenomenon?"

Zhu Qing shook his head helplessly.

"We all worked so hard to find this clue, and you're just sitting at the gate waiting for us."

"Yes, yes?"

Xing scratched her head. If there was, why didn’t she guess the answer at first? Wouldn’t that make her look stupid?

"The entire Clockwork Boy animation series was produced by Clockwork. For a protagonist from such an animation to appear before an unknown person like you, isn't the answer already staring you in the face?"

"The watchmaker is also an unknown guest!"

"..."

"..."

Xing looked at the silent two and asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong?"

"As far as I know, there were only three nameless guests who stayed in Pinocchio back then. Senior Tiernan accompanied the Sea Rangers to slay the Extinction Lord, so it's impossible for him to be here. That leaves only two. Even if you don't know Lazarina's story, it shouldn't be hard to guess who this clock kid is related to, right?"

The two people were silent not because Xing guessed the wrong answer, but because they didn't expect that the answer was already on his face, and this guy could still give two answers.

"It's not safe here. Let's leave first and then discuss it."

Zhu Qing glanced around. This place was full of memory domain memes. These things were not man-made, and no one could guarantee how powerful the memes would be in this chaotic memory domain.

In this memory space, his actual combat capability was weakened. With his limited knowledge of remembering fate, he could only ensure that his attacks were effective.

Even though they seem to be very effective in fighting these monsters now, the monsters they encounter are all physical entities. If something strange comes, all three of them might be in trouble.

The probability is small, but it is not impossible.

"Come to think of it, godfather, when you were fighting just now, why did I see you throwing knives? Where's your weapon?"

It’s interesting to note that although he is a ranger who solves problems with force, Xing rarely sees Zhu Qing take action.

"I don't have any long-range attack methods, let's practice."

Zhuqing walked in front and answered the raccoon's questions.

This is not a lie. Zhu Qing really has no means of long-range attack. Of course, with his ability, that knife strike was no different from a long-range attack.

But it's not always possible to cause large-scale damage, so it's not a bad thing to learn a few more skills.

Before, he always had a long sword in his hand. When he encountered an enemy that he couldn't get close to, he could just use the sword to get close to him. So he had no intention of practicing.

Now that I don't have the knife in my hand, it won't hurt to practice.

"Speaking of which, Sam's ranged attacks are also quite weak. He can still handle ordinary enemies, but if he encounters stronger ones, he'll have to resort to close combat..."

The little firefly wearing a hood beside him also fell into thought.

"Relying solely on the mecha's capabilities for close combat is still too inefficient."

"..."

Suddenly, the girl felt that the voice in her ears seemed to disappear. She raised her head and looked at the two of them.

"what happened?"

"fine."

Zhu Qing shook her head. This little firefly, whether it was by nature or because she felt she didn't have much time, always pursued efficiency in combat. She would never engage in close combat if she could use the kinetic weapons on her body to eliminate the enemy.

"Zhuqing, don't you think so?"

"My skills in clearing large areas are sufficient."

If he didn't want to kill his mortal enemy with his own hands, there would be no harm in bringing this little firefly with him when intercepting the antimatter army.

The Grammer Iron Cavalry is worthy of being the warriors fighting against the Zerg. The more enemies there are, the more powerful the little fireflies' actual combat performance will be.

Zhu Qing had a flying knife in his hand. The knife seemed to be designed to be hidden, and its shape was very small, but the craftsmanship was impeccable.

"I only practice this to deal with special situations. It's not difficult anyway, so I just practice it while I can."

After saying that, he looked at Xing who was staring at him eagerly.

"This stuff is made to order in bulk. If you want it, I'll give you a few when we get back to reality."

"Godfather! Please accept my child's greeting!"

Without waiting for Zhuqing to speak, Liuying, who was familiar with the move, held Xing, as if she was very familiar with the move.

When he was a Star Core Hunter, Xing often did this.

The firefly was a little at a loss the first few times, but now it can frame the stars naturally.

Liuying arched her eyebrows and smiled, "Come to think of it, Zhuqing, you always seem to have some strange things in your hands?"

"To describe them as weird is too hurtful. They were all gifts from others, so I couldn't refuse, so I accepted them."

Zhu Qing shrugged. Many of the things in his hands were given to him by others. Most of the gifts he received were ones he couldn't refuse, rather than ones that were useless.

He has been to so many places, so naturally the people he meets are all weird, and it is normal for him to receive some weird gifts.

"Why don't many people give me gifts even though I've done so many good things?"

Xing on the side asked somewhat puzzledly.

"Maybe it's because the problem Zhu Qing solved was quite big..."

Liuying on the side spoke up. This guy really didn't remember anything. Obviously, the name Qingzhu was very familiar in the universe.

She has heard this name in many places she has been to. Well... it has both good reputation and bad reputation.

"How big is it?"

Xing blinked curiously. Could her adoptive father be stronger than she thought?

"For example, helping a civilization end its war of independence, or helping an organization repel a star-sea monster. There are so many similar things, big and small, that it's impossible to count them all."

Liuying didn't really count on her fingers. She knew a lot about Zhuqing's stories, and just giving a few examples would be enough. If she really talked about it, they probably wouldn't need to talk about anything else today.

"Godfather, tell me the truth, you are also an immortal, right?"

?

Zhu Qing slowly asked, "Why do you say that?"

"How else did you get involved in so many big things?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qing laughed.

"The major events you're talking about are happening all the time in the universe. Planet-destroying crises, stellar tremors, and all sorts of natural and man-made disasters are happening every moment as we speak."
