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

Silver Branch: Isn't that so?

"Yes, yes, yes! Silver Branch is the most beautiful!"

Then Potio stepped forward to deliver the verdict.

【I hereby declare that your days of harassing innocent bystanders are over! Hand over the hostages obediently, and then get out of Pinocchio—do as I say, and you'll be safe!】

Unfortunately, the Pipixi people, whose minds were already ingrained, would not disband because of a single sentence.

Don't forget, with the blessing and support of God, our Four-Foot Church is invincible! Brothers and sisters, smash these wicked men's knees!

After a series of comical gestures and movements, seeing that a conflict was inevitable, Yinzhi stepped forward and shielded Xing behind her.

The fanatical Four-Foot Church cultists leaped up and pounded on Potio and Silverbranch's knees, but to little avail, much like attacking a Steel-type opponent with a Normal-type move in a game.

Ouch! Ouch, ouch, ouch, my hand hurts so much...

Why?! These giants are immune to our attacks, which are imbued with faith?!

Seeing this, Potio confidently crossed his arms.

【...Ranger Machine, kid!】

It seems the Knights of Pure Beauty hold a higher belief than you.

Finally, Roy, who had been observing from the sidelines, spoke up, asking why the other party had come to break the tranquility of the Four Feet Sanctuary.

However, Potio doesn't need to give others any reasons for his actions, and they are not worthy of listening.

I don't want to waste time talking to you little cuties! I'm giving you one minute to hand over the hostage, or you'll face the consequences!

Seeing that conflict was inevitable, Roy Roy rambled on and on before finally saying...

[Close the door, and let the Dream Theatre Troupe go!]

The long-awaited battle scene finally brought the audience, who had been holding back for so long, to a lively state.

"Have you finished speaking? Now I'm going to mourn for the deceased!"

"What are you babbling about? Take my Azure Dragon's Chaotic World attack and you'll behave!"

"Kids don't know any better; they're probably just asking for trouble."

The outcome of this battle was obvious, leaving the believers watching with a sense of shattered faith.

[This doesn't make sense...this simply doesn't make sense. Lord Archmage should clearly be the messenger of the Four-Foot God King, the wise leader of all the miniature races in the world...]

This outrageous statement left Potio stunned.

[What god-king or leader? You've all been fooled by this guy, haven't you?]

[Oh, by the way, my suggestion hasn't expired yet. I'll give you forty more seconds to hand over the hostages! Then get out of my sight, or you'll be getting shot!]

This also shows that the actual battle ended even faster than the players in the game, taking only 20 seconds. It truly lives up to its reputation as a speed demon.

At this moment, Roy Roy is still putting up a stubborn resistance.

"Hmm...this is merely a small obstacle on our path of cultivation. Do not let these few despicable villains obstruct your path to enlightenment!"

[If only we could collect a little more membership fees... Yes, if only the Four Feet Temple had a little more funding, defeating these giants would be a piece of cake!]

After going around in circles, it all came back to money, which made the audience scoff.

"Little Obstacles"

"I thought it was some kind of Lilliputian mutual aid society, but it turns out it's just a scam."

"Tap it! This helps you let go of money and material possessions and return to your true self!"

"It's so frustrating! Why do all scammers use the same excuse?!"

"Isn't this kid Old Aude's nephew? How could he be short of money?"

After being exposed by Xing in public, the faith of the other believers began to crumble, and Potio spoke up at the opportune moment.

Aren't you going to get moving? Time is running out!

This cheerful remark, coupled with Portio's sunny and cheerful smile, inexplicably gives off a sense of dark humor, and has since become a famous meme among players.

"Hahaha, this is just too much, especially the way Potio said that, it's hilarious!"

Time is running out~

"When I asked a friend to go out, she said she'd be right down. After waiting for half an hour, my reaction was: Time's running out!"

"I really like Bobo Shark more and more the more I look at it, I really regret not getting one back then!"

Chapter 368 The Prelude to the New Member

As the true purpose of the Four Feet Church was exposed, the remaining members, their faith shattered, expressed their intention to leave the church.

[A bunch of wavering, fake believers! Run, run all you want, you won't get a single penny of your dues back from me—don't even think about it!]

[If I'd known that woman with the gambling addiction was a bad omen... well, you win this time, but don't expect to escape unscathed next time you run into me! Remember that!]

Then Roy Roy sped away from everyone's sight. You swear to the nameless travelers of all ages, he's definitely the fastest-paced Pipisi you've ever seen...

Thus, the operation to rescue her best friend Qingque came to a successful conclusion. Qingque came over to express her gratitude and also mentioned Potio and Silver Branch who were standing nearby.

These two are definitely the helpers you found! Just look at their gear, they're definitely professionals.

The two sides got to know each other and the conversation went smoothly. After all, Silver Branch was like that to everyone, while Potio had a natural affinity for the Immortal Boat people.

Qingque said she shouldn't have come here for the sake of small gains, while Yinzhi brought up Royroy who had just escaped, wondering if they should eliminate him completely to prevent him from making a comeback.

Despite her gentle demeanor, Yinzhi is anything but lacking in the violent aesthetics when dealing with villains.

However, Potio didn't seem to care about this.

"Don't worry, Brother Silverbranch! I've memorized that guy's name and face. In this Starsea region, anyone targeted by the patrolling rangers can forget about sleeping soundly!"

This powerful statement from the Sea Patrol Ranger drew admiration from the audience.

"Wow, awesome! Galaxy Wanted, kid!"

"RoyRoy: Spicy!"

"The hunters' revenge will surely come!"

"Speaking of which, Qingque looks so tiny and cute standing in front of these two!"

"These two 1.8-meter-tall guys have to look down to talk; it feels like their chins are about to touch their collarbones, haha."

"No wonder Fu Xuan didn't come this time. He probably already foresaw this and came to make Qing Que suffer a bit."

"Pinocone Anti-Fraud Campaign (Not Real)"

"Given the situation, let's start with the Imperial Jade Pool. That'll make four people!"

Finally, before parting ways, the four suggested taking a group photo as a memento of their trip.

Thus, a photo that is basically concave in shape was produced, making people inexplicably nervous.

Indeed, all creations touched by your hand are blessed with pure beauty... I admire you, my dearest friend.

"...Your flattery skills are truly natural, Brother Yinzhi."

After that, everyone parted ways, and Xing returned to reality, then sent a text message to Dennis.

Star: [Dennis?]

Dancy: [Not lobby manager Dennis, now it's party girl Dancy, friend! Remember the difference!]

At first, the other party would reply, but after Xing mentioned that the experience was over, Dennis stopped responding, clearly not wanting to leave the dream and return to reality.

You wait, I'm coming to get you.

When Xing returned to the dream world, she found Dennis, who was completely different from reality and whose style of dress was almost reminiscent of Sambo.

【Oh, it's Miss Xing! I'm so sorry, I was so engrossed in playing cards that I didn't notice you.】

At this moment, Dennis said that he was on a winning streak and was a little reluctant to leave.

However, when Xing mentioned the front desk job, Dennis could only helplessly pack his things and go back.

But that's not the point. The real issue is that the card game they were playing involved the Imperial Jade!

Ah, what a coincidence! Shortly after I entered the dream, I met a young female chess player who had traveled all the way from the celestial ship. She enthusiastically recommended the Imperial Jade to me, and the rest of us were immediately captivated by the game.

This explanation amused the audience.

"Holy crap, Qingque! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"Qingque claims responsibility for this incident!"

"Sure enough, wherever Qingque's hand reaches, the Imperial Jade Palace overflows in abundance!"

"Global Card Disaster"

"Jade Token Envoy, Azure Sparrow!"

"The impact of the 'Fairy Boat' culture is here!"

Because there was one player missing, Xing replaced Dennis in the game, and the other player could only return to reality with a sob in his voice.

But I didn't feel sad for him for a moment. What followed was the tense and exciting Imperial Jade Card Game!

However, Xing had learned to play cards from Xianzhou and Qingque, so he was much better than these novices. Before long, these people lost so much that they didn't want to play anymore.

Xing was somewhat addicted to the feeling of crushing the weaker opponents, and thought that he must teach the train crew how to play cards when he got back.

[Let's count the number of people: me, March, Danheng, Pam, Himeko, Uncle Yang, and let's include the Black Swan for now...]

Seven people, not enough for two tables... Sigh, when will the train crew get new members?

This sentence seems to be a foreshadowing, leaving the audience with endless imagination.

"Foreshadowing... Is the train crew finally going to have a new member?!"

"I feel like they'll be hitchhikers, like black swans, traveling together for a while?"

"Could it be a robin?! Let's take her to the next world!"

Fireworks: Hi hi hi! I'm back again!

"It couldn't possibly be Sunday, could it?"

"Speaking of which, with Pam's round hands, can she even hold the cards?"

And so, the side quest "Check Out" ends here.

The joy it brought to players is what made this interesting side quest memorable.

On the train, it was naturally known that March 7th, who boarded on Sunday, saw this passage, which Asahi jokingly remarked.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have such a prophetic potential! How about predicting what kind of world Onpharos will be when we go there?"

Upon hearing this, Xing stroked his chin and pondered seriously.

"Hmm, according to the Black Swan, it feels like some kind of destroyed world was preserved by the Mirror of Memories?"

"Uh... I don't think it'll be a happy ending..."

As they were talking, March 7th suddenly noticed that a train supply voucher had popped up in his game and sent him 90 Star Qiong.

"Hey, why is my monthly card popping up again? I just claimed it, is there a bug?"

The monthly pass, which was originally offered once a day, suddenly popped up again, much to March 7's surprise.

"Really? Let me take a look."

Xing then took the phone and checked it, discovering that not only the monthly card, but also the daily login rewards for the Star Chasing Gift could be claimed again, as if time had truly moved to the next day!

Seeing this, Xing also logged into his own account to check the situation and found that it was the same.

This strange phenomenon puzzled both of them. Then, Pam's voice came over the train's loudspeaker, indicating that a train meeting was about to begin.

With these questions in mind, the two headed to the train hall.

Chapter 369: Will the game's plot catch up with the real-world progress?

At this moment, everyone gathered in the train hall, including Black Swan, which made March 7 and Xing a little confused about what had happened.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Himeko glanced at the time and then addressed the group.
