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

Yanqing: [Miss Yunli, did you seem to have... forgotten something?]

Yun Li: [Oh, I remember now, don't you seem to have forgotten something too?]

Yanqing was taken aback. Had he forgotten something?

Then I saw a message from Yun Li on the other end.

Yun Li: [Of course, it was me who did the maintenance on your flying sword! You haven't even thanked me yet!]

Yanqing: [What? You're the one who stole my flying sword! You haven't even formally apologized to me yet!]

You should thank them first!

Apologize first!

Watching Yanqing's fingers dance across the screen so fast they almost left afterimages, Jingyuan shook his head and chuckled softly.

What a harmonious atmosphere! Even after leaving Luofu, they still maintain their friendship. I haven't seen such a warm and genuine bond in a long time.

Returning to the plot, although the matter has been investigated, Yun Li still insists on melting the other party, and of course, she has her reasons for doing so.

【I have heard your true desire, Lone Cloud. I sense that you are weary of continuing to be a sword, falling into the hands of unknown people, and fighting battles you do not wish to fight. Is that not so?】

Just as the nameless swordsman decides his own fate, Yun Li believes that Gu Yun can also decide his own fate.

Do you remember? You stood tall and solitary before the swordsman's monument, people looked at you because you embodied the memory of heroes. And so, you were no longer just a sword, but a monument!

Upon hearing Yun Li's words, Gu Yun seemed to suddenly realize something and recalled his past memories.

[Later, I became mottled and worn. A gentle breeze would pass through the holes in me, making different tones, and drifting towards the distant mountains and fields—]

[Back then, I was a musical instrument. I miss the time when I was a musical instrument.]

Yun Li immediately offered to help Gu Yun fulfill this wish, and Huai Yan and Yin Zhi, who were standing nearby, also agreed.

Finally, the group went to the Bureau of Works to borrow one of its casting furnaces.

The scene shifts, and Yun Li is seen holding Gu Yun, preparing to throw it into the furnace.

Compared to the hundreds of times she had forged the demonic sword before, Yun Li now wore a peaceful smile.

It is an honor to have met you in this way.

Gu Yun: [It's my honor, thank you, Yun Li.]

And so, the legendary sword Gu Yun disappeared, and what will appear next is an instrument named Gu Yun.

Yun Li successfully melted another demonic sword forged by Han Guang, but she didn't seem happy. At the same time, she was worried about how her grandfather would explain it to Luo Fu.

Huaiyan was delighted upon hearing this.

[Goodness, such a young Yun Li actually has such a big conscience. Hehe, not easy at all.]

Yun Li, who was being laughed at by her grandfather, could only let out a soft hum.

Despite this incident, Yun Li still decided to melt down the demonic swords forged by Suiyang, as they were still too dangerous.

I'll just wait before I act impulsively again.

[Wait a minute. Remember today, because in the days to come, there will be many more things that will require us to wait.]

As for the prizes for the martial arts ceremony.

The shrewd and experienced Huaiyan had naturally anticipated everything. From the moment Yunli appeared at the sword-giving ceremony, he had prepared another sword as a substitute.

Upon seeing this, Yanqing realized he had been fooled. He had been on tenterhooks for a while, but he couldn't possibly tell anyone.

Next came the homecoming ceremony for the nameless swordsman, which was attended by many people.

Pavor, the envoy from Calevara, specially broke off a golden branch and planted it along the streets of Louvre.

Huaiyan: [Excellent. The man from Xianzhou doesn't need a coffin or memorial tablet; he can rest in peace in his hometown, a place bustling with people and lively with the sounds of cooking fires. He must be very satisfied.]

At the same time, Pavor also made a rubbing of the inscription on the tombstone, which Huaiyan recognized.

[Wandering far from home, on the verge of death, I have fortunately fulfilled my duty.]

If any passerby takes pity on me, please carry a handful of yellow earth from before this stele and bury it at Luofu Mountain.

[Mr. Pavor, I wonder if this hero has left his mark on your history?]

Pavor expressed regret over this, as the era was too long ago and the deeds of the nameless swordsman were almost mythical.

But in our mythology, he came down from the heavens to the earth; we call him the Cloud Knight.

Welcome home, Cloud Knight.

You can rest well here now, Lonely Cloud.

In the scene, a newly made guzheng-like wooden zither is placed in front of golden branches, thus concluding Yun Li's accompanying quest, "Turning Swords into Plowshares."

Chapter 433 PV: Soul-Stirring Rice

As the story of "turning swords into plowshares" came to an end, the audience was filled with emotion.

Many were moved by the nameless cloud knight's long-standing perseverance in despair, and amazed by how the Demon Sword of the Year Sun was moved by him. Many even shed tears for this touching story.

All those words can be summed up in one sentence.

"Welcome home, Cloud Knight!"

It was through this story that the placement of the Lonely Cloud Zither and the Cloud Knight's Homecoming in Jinren Lane became popular again online, bringing another surge of traffic to Luofu tourism.

But that's all in the future.

After the first half of version 2.4, which was packed with content, came to an end, the game entered the second half of the version.

The official PV for the character Jiaoqiu, "Soul-Stirring Rice," has been released!

As soon as the PV was released, it naturally attracted countless players and viewers, and a large number of comments flooded the screen.

"Teacher, is our Jiaoqiu still in jail?"

"It seems like I'm about to die."

"Keep it up, Uncle Onion, Ginger and Garlic who can cook!"

"If I smoke this, will you make me a heartwarming soup?"

Then the scene begins to appear, with the stove fire lit, and fresh ribs and splashed chili powder flashing by, looking exactly like some kind of food show.

However, the next moment, as if a scene from a horror movie flashed back, Pepper Hill appeared in one of the shadows, standing quietly in that dark and deep bamboo forest.

The next moment, there was a ding sound, and the scene shifted to the oven.

Jiaoqiu took out the meat patty he had prepared, and a melodious bell rang out in the background, like a culinary master telling a story.

[Ingredients, cooking time, seasoning, aroma.]

Following Jiaoqiu's words, the eggs falling into the flour, the chili threads and cilantro in the mixer, the pieces of meat slicing through the knife, and the sizzling sound coming from the griddle appeared one by one, making it hard to tell if one had stumbled into some strange place.

"Hey, what the hell? Where did this come from? Is this still the Starry Sky Railway?"

"A Taste of the Fairy Boat"

"What kind of ruthless iron hand is that? It can actually grab a plate directly from the oven!"

"The Hungriest Episode"

In the shot of several dishes, a greeting from Su Chang suddenly came through.

Hey, what brings you here?

Exposing quack doctors.

The scene shifts, and Su Chang is chatting with Bai Lu at the table, while behind them is Doctor Jiao, who is cooking... oh no, he is preparing medicinal cuisine.

As they spoke, several exquisitely prepared dishes were served one by one, making people swallow hard.

As the saying goes, medicine and food share the same origin; cooking is, in essence, the preparation of medicine.

Although it appears to be a harmonious scene on the surface, as the background flute music changes and the music speeds up, a strange and eerie feeling begins to emerge.

Just like the enigmatic image of Jiaoqiu, it seems that there is more to all these delicacies than meets the eye.

[If anyone here has no dietary restrictions, we hope you will do us the honor of tasting it.]

Picking up a glass of blood-red juice, Jiaoqiu looked at the two people in front of her. Then the camera shifted to Jiaoqiu herself, seamlessly switching to a dynamic portrait.

In the scene, the pink-haired, squinty-eyed fox-person raises a glass in a friendly gesture, appearing to be welcoming guests, but at the end, he opens his meaningful eyes.

If you look at this picture alone, there may not be anything strange about it, but the key is that the tense music, which is completely from a horror movie, adds a touch of eeriness to the whole picture, making people inexplicably hallucinate the image of a very shrewd person.

A powerful, pounding drumbeat sent shivers down the spines of the audience.

"The background music is amazing, it's divine."

"Wow, that's awesome!"

"Jiaoqiu looks so cool when he opens his eyes!"

"This style inexplicably reminds me of a friend who's very good at handling people..."

"There are no vegetarians here"

"Bring your own scallions, ginger, and garlic when you go out, so the pickled peppers won't be too much of a hassle; drink a little cooking wine before you go out, so the pickled peppers won't marinate for too long."

"This meat...it couldn't be from Bu Liren, could it..."

"This might not be red wine; it could be wolf blood."

On one side are the fleeing Bu Li people, and on the other side is a large meat patty on the table. This contrasting style makes it hard not to think that Bu Li is very good at dealing with people.

Then, Bai Lu let out a soft click of her tongue.

[What kind of health benefits can this fancy-looking pork chop possibly offer?]

At this moment, even the camera angles started to become strange, with perspectives from outside the window and from inside the hot pot. Coupled with the background music that was neither a shout nor a shout, and then abruptly stopped, it gave people a chill down their spines.

He will make you...run faster and jump higher.

With a soft laugh, the scene shifts to Jiaoqiu dealing with the fleeing Bu Liren, and the addition of "him" in the subtitles creates a chilling metaphor in the image.

Then, a flower petal from Jiaoqiu struck Bu Liren, and the next moment, a bizarre scene appeared where Bu Liren's hands and feet were suspended in the air, while the unaware Su Chang continued to praise him.

Wow, that's amazing! I'll have to play another round.

This shot is quite like the reaction of an unsuspecting supporting character in a cannibalistic story.

"No way! This PV is so scary!"

"Jiaoqiu is genuinely trying to be a good person."

"The most important thing in being a person is knowing when to temper your emotions and act accordingly."

"Wait, if Su Chang really eats the flesh of a Bu Li person, won't she mutate due to her constitution...?"

"Jiaoqiu: Hehe, just trying to scare kids."

"You know what, that's really his style..."

"The bad uncle is scaring the kids again!"

The three then clinked glasses, and Jiaoqiu, as the host, greeted them.

There's plenty to go around, it's all... a small matter.

Then came several more shots of Bu Liren falling down, while Bai Lu played the role of someone who didn't care.

[If you're just putting on airs, what about the hot pot?]

This product, while somewhat arrogant, is effective in treating neck and shoulder pain, lumbar muscle strain, numbness in the hands and feet, and insomnia with excessive dreaming.

As Jiaoqiu made his move, and Bu Liren finally extended his claws in resistance, the scene froze on the sinister moment when the squinty-eyed Jiaoqiu opened his eyes.

[Yet it has a remarkable effect.]

Red and black vertical pupils occupy the entire screen, and the sharp and piercing music suddenly bursts out, as if you have fallen into some kind of ghostly and fantastical scene, which makes people think of the strange tale style of the previous Fireworks PV.

Then several brightly colored and eerie pupils appeared around Pepper Hill, and several consecutive drumbeats resonated in the hearts of the audience.

The next moment, a light, hollow thud sounded, abruptly ceasing.

Immediately following was a woman's heavy gasp, like a final scream before despair.

However, the next moment, intense and eerie background music replaced the scream, making the audience's hearts rise and fall like they were on a roller coaster.
