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

I know what you're trying to do; I've heard about what happened in your hometown.

Speaking of this, the company employee expressed sympathy, but in this universe, many worlds, like Arillow-VI, have been attacked by the antimatter legion.

Audiences paid for their tickets, not to hear some tragic story.

Listening to the other party's advice, Igor silently kept it in mind.

If no one wants to listen to the stories of their hometown, then let your voice be louder.

And so, Igor won match after match, even making it to the finals of Pierpoint, which was quite remarkable for a dark horse player from a remote planet.

Now, if Igor is willing, he can easily accept the promises made by the company's employees back then.

But he didn't. For this step, Igor did not hesitate to follow the company's advice and cut off his good arm to replace it with a prosthetic arm from the company, just to make the game more eye-catching.

If my mother saw me like this... she would be very sad.

Company employee: [If your mom saw the prize money you've won, she would understand!]

The outrageous words from the company employee made my mouth twitch; you could only say that this is typical of company employees.

And Igor did all this for the sake of his homeland.

Igor: "Could my prize money buy an army?"

Company employee: [...To acquire a standard-equipped mercenary force, you'd need to defend your championship title for at least twenty years and secure countless advertising endorsements. Can you hold out until then? Can your hometown hold out until then?]

After watching this past, everyone felt as heavy-hearted as the people on the screen.

"Sigh, he's also a hero who saved his homeland. Even though he had already traveled to space, he still resolutely returned to his homeland in the end."

"That's why Belloberg has managed to hold on until today. Without these historical figures stepping forward, it would probably be just like the countless worlds it has destroyed."

"If we had been able to find the Nameless Guest, the Pure Knight, or the Sea Ranger back then, there might have been a sliver of a chance."

"They weren't easy to find either. Back then, the Star Train hadn't restarted, and the Sea Rangers all operated independently. As for the Pure Beauty Knights... they were even rarer."

"Ah, Legion!"

Just like in the story, Igor left his home planet before the Antimatter Legion invaded. He then took the opportunity of participating in boxing matches in various parts of the galaxy to give speeches to audiences, hoping to raise people's awareness of the Legion and save their home planet.

Unfortunately, the Milky Way is too vast, and the cry for help from a single planet is too faint.

Returning to the present, the restored content has not yet mentioned the Immortal Ship Alliance, since this jade omen itself originated from the Immortal Ship.

As Luca recounted this history from 700 years ago, everyone realized something.

"700 years? (Warning)"

"I think it was around 700 years ago that Jingyuan became a general?"

Will we see a younger version of Jing Yuanyuan later on?

In the end, Lingke and Qingque decided to repair the Jade Sign together at Taibusi. The audience felt a strange sense of amusement as they watched the two beautiful girls appear together and look up at the camera.

"Yay! Two adorable Quantum 4-star creatures in the same frame!"

"Pera: Buhou!"

"Our base is about to be raided!"

"Judging from this, Lingbao is actually a little taller than Qingque."

And so, Luca and Star left Tabusi first. Because he wanted to travel around on his own to toughen up his mind, Luca began to act alone.

And then... unsurprisingly, Luca got lost.

After all, all the scenes on the fairy boat looked the same to him, but Luca had a good attitude about it, treating it as a chance to practice his ability to ask for directions.

Perfect timing! There's a friendly-looking guy next to me, so I've decided on you!

The camera then shifts to Yanqing, whose presence inexplicably makes one feel uneasy.

"A wild boss who just happened to be passing by"

"Haha, that's a really good pick!"

"This guy really is a young man."

"This guy looks a bit like the boss of the Martial Arts Ceremony."

As Luca was about to strike up a conversation, he remembered what had happened earlier and added a few words.

[This... young man... uh... how old are you? May I call you young man?]

Yanqing: [Hmm? You're asking me? If you're not an immortal being, then I'm guessing we're about the same age. Is there anything I can help you with?]

As they chatted, Luca and Yanqing naturally came up with the topic of the martial arts ceremony, and Luca also considered Yanqing to be a contestant challenging the defending swordsman.

Yanqing did not deny this, as a martial artist must always challenge himself.

The two then talked about the fear they felt when facing opponents of unknown strength. After all, as the defending swordsman, Yanqing was bound to feel the fear of defeat due to the heavy burden on his shoulders.

Haha, I do have a trick to help you overcome your fear before the competition!

As he spoke, Luca walked to the railing and looked back at Yanqing.

Find a secluded, open space, and shout out your opponent's name until you genuinely believe you can defeat that formidable foe who terrifies you.

Upon hearing this, Yanqing also became interested and quite agreed with the method.

Then he stepped forward to Luca's side, looked into the distance, and began to vent loudly.

Yanqing: [I! I will definitely win! I will be the one standing on the stage in the end!]

Luca: [I! Luca! I will win! I will definitely defeat Yanqing!]

As he spoke, Luca called out to Yanqing, who was standing next to him, to shout along with him.

Yanqing seemed a little embarrassed about this, but after thinking about it, she did as instructed.

I can definitely defeat Yanqing!

【Yanqing is no match for me!】

His hesitant tone and embarrassed expression made the audience burst into laughter.

"Gentlemen, this isn't a deserted place; this is the main street!"

"I'm so embarrassed for others, I don't even dare to look at them anymore..."

"Okay, very energetic, next one!"

"Help! What social terrorist? lol"

Passerby: You're really brave!

"Passersby were probably all stunned, since everyone in Luofu knows Yanqing."

"Passing Cloud Cavalry: General Jingyuan, something terrible has happened! Yanqing's valiant guard has gone mad; his demonic possession has flared up prematurely!"

Watching Yanqing vent his emotions in the scene, Jingyuan smiled without saying a word as he looked at his obedient disciple.

Yanqing's face was already bright red, and she wished she could dig a hole and burrow into the ground as soon as possible.

However, after venting her emotions, Yanqing did feel much better.

As the two were parting, Luca asked Yanqing's name.

Yanqing: [...Just call me Lengfeng. In the Xianzhou language, it means "cold sword." Until we meet again, Luca.]

Seeing this shameful name appear in the story, Yanqing felt like the gazes around her were piercing her like steel needles, and the level of social anxiety she had ever experienced was absolutely terrifying.

What made him even more desperate was that an unsurprising message also came in.

Yun Li: [Yo yo yo, isn't this Brother Leng Feng!]

Yun Li: [Hiss, that cold sword really is just like you, Brother Leng Feng!]

Upon seeing this message, Yanqing scratched her head and let out a painful wail.

“Ahhhh————!!!”

Chapter 470 Public Opinion is Powerful

The audience found it amusing to see Yanqing give Leng Feng such an unconventional name in the story.

"Someone who can name themselves 'Invincible Swordsman 123' certainly knows how to choose a name..."

"Yanqing: My sword's blade is slightly to the left. If I were to die on the battlefield, I do not wish for my sword to be used directly by the monstrous creatures of abundance!"

"What 'Fairy Ship War Wolf'?"

I won't tell you anything!

After chatting with Yanqing for a while, Luca returned to the lounge to prepare for the upcoming match.

It can only be said that the martial arts ceremony has almost no restrictions on the types of participants; there are even piggy bank trainers who bring their own piggy banks to participate.

After defeating his opponent, Luca faced a challenge from a martial arts expert named Shuojin from the Immortal Boat.

Prior to this, Topa had extended a business collaboration invitation to Luca, hoping to invite him to become the brand ambassador for one of the company's products. This would not only help Luca and Belloberg increase their brand awareness, but also allow the company to profit from the collaboration.

Topa didn't have any ill intentions in this regard; he genuinely proposed the cooperation with a win-win mindset.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Luca still refused to cooperate.

I believe in Ms. Toppa's goodwill, but... whether Bellberg is ready to accept the company's goodwill, and how he should accept it... I really don't know, and I can't make up my mind right now.

Perhaps it was Toppa's earlier comment about the child growing up that made Luca unsure whether he should accept the offer; he needed to think it over.

Seeing this, Toppa agreed, saying that he was ready and could come to him anytime. He then mentioned Luca's future opponent, Sokin.

Topa: [Consider this a warning from an outsider, but be careful. That guy has a lot of underhanded tricks up his sleeve.]

Hearing Topa's reminder, Luca recalled that in his previous playing career, there had been guys who would put laxatives in other people's drinks before a match.

This also reminds the audience of a deceased friend.

"Jiaoqiu: Ahem, are you clicking on me?"

"Haha March 7th and her off-field support, Pepper Hill"

"With our beautiful wives as a team, we'll ensure your Star Train always keeps running!"

"What the hell is this 'beautiful wife duo'?! The family must have some real talent to come up with this."

Just as Luca was getting ready in the lounge, Camille brought him the latest news from outside.

In the Raffles Sports newspaper, photos of Luca and Topa meeting were published, with headlines mentioning a powerful backer.

Immediately, various media commentaries emerged, accusing Luca of being two-faced, portraying himself as a hero against the company while siphoning off the company's ill-gotten gains.

There are also claims that Luca, as the top enforcer of the underground illegal organization Ariello-VI, may have already made contact with Toppa when he was dealing with debt issues, and that the so-called popular sports star was nothing more than a lackey of the company.

All sorts of negative press releases popped up within a single system session after Topa and Luca met, clearly indicating that the mastermind was prepared. Had they not contacted Topa this time, there would likely have been other similar smear campaigns.

Seeing this underhanded tactic, everyone frowned.

"Hooray, here comes the moment of charm for journalism!"

"This draft is so well-written, it's just right!"

"When did Luca start portraying himself as a hero against the company? That's utter nonsense!"

According to sources familiar with the matter...

"It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to debunk them."

"Give a country boy a taste of the big city."

"The episode I most hope will feature a big shot from the company."

Despite the immense pressure, Luca is still able to remain optimistic for the time being, believing that as long as he wins the game in the end, everything will be fine.

So he decided to go out for some fresh air, but unlike before, the people around him all whispered harshly when they saw Luca.

Look... isn't that Luca?

[It really is Luca... I used to be a fan of his!]

Haha, now liking Luca is on your record!

He seems like a cheerful young man, but what's going on behind his back...?

I don't think he's bad, just plain stupid. He's from a small town, and his background is martial arts, so his education level is probably not very high.
