Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

"I'm already looking forward to the rest of the trip!"

"What's the name of this song? Please!"

"It's so beautiful and tells such a story!"

"Where's the full version? Why is this the only part?"

"Oh my god, I'm so excited! I really want to board the Star Train and become a nameless passenger too!"

"Wake up, you don't have a star core inside you!"

The passengers on the train were equally captivated by this perfect scene.

Is that you in this picture?

"I guess so, it's just that we didn't have any background music back then."

"Wow, Himeko, Himeko, do you have this song on the gramophone on our train? It's so beautiful!"

Himeko smiled gently.

"Of course, this piece of music is called 'On the Journey,' and it was already recorded on our phonograph before, so it really fits the storyline."

As Xing boarded the train, a voice suddenly came from below.

Hey, I'm talking to you!

The young train conductor, Pam, looked up at the passenger who had just boarded the train.

[Looks a bit silly. Yes, that's you.]

"Ah, it's the train conductor, Pam!"

Pam, who was standing nearby, was about to look up when she heard March 7's voice, but March 7 picked her up with one arm. It has to be said that March 7 is indeed quite strong!

"Look, look! Train conductor, you're in here too!"

"I see you! Passenger, let me down!"

In the scene, Pam is explaining some simple matters to Star, perhaps to maintain the conductor's authority in front of the new passengers. At this moment, Pam appears both cute and fierce.

"The train conductor looks so handsome when he's focused!"

Xing teased Pam as she was being picked up, making Pam blush slightly. In the end, she just hummed softly and said nothing.

After Lao Mu manipulated the protagonist to look around the train environment, he returned to Pam's side to talk.

"You're here so soon? I was just being polite... Is there anything I can help you with?"

Several options appeared in the dialogue.

How do I get to the room on March 7th?

[Danheng's room....]

[Speaking of which, that was... a phonograph?]

Immediately, Lao Mu revealed a meaningful smile.

"Oh dear, I just got on the train and I still don't know which room I'll be in. Looking at this option, I'm not going to be assigned to share a room with March 7th, am I? That's not good!"

This also sparked a barrage of comments.

"Holy crap, is this for real? I can share a room with March 7th?"

"I can smell the sweet fragrance of lilies!"

"Let me clarify first, I'm not Nan Tong, I just want to see where Dan Heng's room is!"

"Thanks to the stubborn guy for sending the plane!"

"Fencing Master!"

Chapter 20 To the Dim Star

After boarding the train, Lao Mu led the curious audience to look around.

After all, this is a Star Train. If an ordinary person stays on a fixed planet, they may never see this magical train that can travel through the void and traverse the universe in their entire life!

But when they arrived at the door of March 7's room on the train, Lao Mu began to hesitate.

Judging from the current state of the game, many parts are basically the same as reality. So, will the room on March 7th be the same as the room in reality?

Although they said they would live together, now that he was actually standing in front of the door, Lao Mu felt that it wasn't appropriate to enter someone else's girl's room like this.

If I were to see something... uh... something that's inconvenient to see, wouldn't that affect Miss March 7's reputation?

Logically, it shouldn't be like that, since the Star Train now seems to have been modified for the game, and its interior space is clearly more than what's shown in the game.

But March 7th, who was on the train, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.

"what happened?"

"There are some things in your room that are inconvenient to show. Should I contact the streamer now?"

Danheng and Xingdu both looked at March 7, but her next words left them speechless.

"I never make my bed after I get up, it's going to be a mess if I go in now! Oh no, my image as a pretty girl is going to be ruined!"

Upon entering the room, Lao Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing strange was found; in fact, it was very clean.

Besides the usual table, chairs, and bed, the room was covered with photos, which showed that March 7th really enjoys taking pictures.

After wandering around the train for a while, Pam's voice came over the train's loudspeaker.

[(Hello—Hello—) Attention passengers, attention passengers. The train is about to undergo a jump. Please proceed to the jump hall immediately.]

"Looks like we're finally moving on to the next map!"

Although he really wanted to continue with the main storyline, Lao Mu looked at the time and realized that he had already played through nearly four system times, and it was almost 2 a.m.

I originally planned to stop broadcasting today and then work on it all day tomorrow, but looking at the popularity of the live stream, it has now risen to around 1000 million!

Previously, he could only earn two or three million a day by streaming, but now he has reached 10 million in just four system hours, which makes Lao Mu reluctant to stop streaming!

After some deliberation, Lao Mu decided to do another side quest!

So Lao Mu opened the in-game text message interface. During the main quest, he kept receiving text messages from NPCs, which he figured were probably for side quests.

After looking at the message list, Lao Mu finally chose a text message from a space station clerk named Rocky.

The other person's personal signature was incredibly cheesy: Leslie, the light of my life.

However, the text message the other party sent me was completely baffling.

Rocky: [Lily, are you alright? Why aren't you replying to my messages?]

Seeing Lao Mu doing side quests, the comments section started discussing it.

"Is this a side quest in the game? Why aren't you showing the main storyline?"

"The person in front, Lao Mu is about to end the broadcast. He'll broadcast a side story now."

"What's the point of side quests? I just want to explore!"

"Don't be too certain. Many games are more interesting because of their side quests!"

"But judging from this side message, they probably sent it to the wrong person!"

"Wow, this person's tone sounds so familiar, like one of my friends. Could he be a simp too?!"

"You, the one in front, are making friends out of thin air, right?"

"Put the microphone in your mouth and tell your story out loud!"

While observing the comments, Lao Mu went through the mission storyline. After replying to the other party, the other party seemed to realize that he had sent the message to the wrong person and replied with a message.

Rocky: [Sorry—but whoever you are, if you meet Lily, please tell her for me that Rocky will be waiting for you.]

Xing: [So who is Lily?]

After receiving no reply to the message, I exited the SMS interface and saw a blue icon for mission tracking. Following the guide, I successfully found the crew member named Rocky on the space station.

Rocky: [Humorous? No, something more sentimental is better. Refined? Hmm, slang shouldn't be in poetry. Should I use it here? Ugh, my scalp is tingling...]

He seemed a bit eccentric. After the conversation, Rocky mentioned that he was currently writing poetry, and that it was a love poem for a girl named Leslie.

Despite writing many versions, Leslie never replied to Rocky.

Just as I was about to ask who Leslie was, the old man Bernard spoke first.

Bernard: [Ha, Leslie is a star clerk, the only visiting scholar from this Amber Era to be sent to the Bountiful Starfield. Why would she have time to bother with you?]

Rocky: [Of course I have time for you! Ever since Leslie left, we've been in intermittent contact via the galactic radio repeater. Even across tens of thousands of light-years, she wouldn't ignore me. Her delayed reply is probably just due to a special circumstance this time!]

At this point, comments began to appear on the screen.

"No way, could this kid really be dating that Leslie?"

"Hey, buddy, she was just politely replying to you. You don't actually think she likes you, do you?"

"Come back to the goblin cave with me!"

"Pu Xin Nan, what a shrimp head!"

Rocky: [I...I wrote a letter to Leslie confessing my feelings, unlike usual when I just told her how many kinds of stones and mud there are in geography...]

"Holy crap, you're talking about rocks and mud when you're chatting with a girl? You're a genius!"

"I underestimated his level of confidence; he actually wrote a letter to confess his feelings!"

"If this works out, I'll immediately spend 6480 RMB on 10 in-game purchases to prove our love!"

"Hey bro, do you need a boyfriend? Or a girlfriend would be fine too!"

In the story, Rocky appears very distressed, not understanding why Leslie is ignoring him after he confesses his feelings.

In the subsequent conversation, Rocky mentioned the keyword "Starquake".

Rocky: [You have no idea how happy she sounded in that reply; even the repeater signal seemed happy!]

Rocky: [In short, there were no signs that she would reject my confession. So, if I don't receive a message from her at the agreed time... there must be something wrong with the galactic radio repeater!]

As Rocky confidently recounted a long list of details about their daily interactions, the comments section began to waver.

"No, looking at it this way, it seems like the two of them get along quite well!"

"Yeah, they can even talk about stones and still have a conversation about it, is it true love?!"

"Details don't lie; I think there's potential between these two!"

"Oh no, buddy, why does your nose look red?!"

"The clown is me!"

Chapter 21 is all settled! Everything's settled!

Seeing that things were about to take a turn for the better, Lao Mu began to follow the plot and decided to help Rocky check what was wrong with the repeater.

However, the old man Bernard kept trying to stop him, saying that he was full of idle thoughts, but in the end he couldn't persuade Rocky.

Rocky: [If we successfully restore our communications, I'll definitely repay you—I'll ask you to be my bridesmaid sooner or later!]

"Damn, you little brat! Okay, okay! I'll be waiting!"

The viewers in the live chat were also energized by Rocky's words.

"Alright! I agree to this marriage!"

"Bearing the name of pure love, you absolutely cannot lose!"

"Even though I thought it was unreliable, he still wanted me to be his bridesmaid!"

"You brat, if I find out you're up to no good later, I'll send Galaxy Flying to the Black Tower Space Station to find out about you!"

The dialogue has temporarily ended. Lao Mu sees an item on the table next to him that he can pick up. After clicking on it, three love poems that have not yet been sent appear in front of him.

[The Black Tower Love Poem, Part One]

【Lily, my Lily.】

How did I fall in love with you?

【Your white dress,】
