I've died 47 times in this game, so I've decided to sell it.

The light cone transformed into a stream of light and entered her chest.

March 7th's eyes widened: "Sister Himeko, you're already wearing it?!"

"Just curious."

Himeko smiled and glanced around the cabin.

Her gaze lingered on the tops of everyone's heads for a moment, her expression subtly shifting several times.

But she always maintained that elegant smile.

Then her gaze fell on the top of Qiye's head.

Himeko's smile paused for half a second.

She raised an eyebrow.

"interesting."

Qi Ye felt a chill run down her spine from her gaze: "...What's so interesting?"

Himeko did not answer, but simply smiled and removed the light cone.

"I want to try it too!"

Finally, on March 7th, he couldn't hold back any longer, snatched the light cone from Himeko's hand, and slapped it on himself.

The light streamed into my chest.

On March 7th, they turned their attention to Danheng.

A line of text floated above Dan Heng's head:

[Affection level 82, from: A reliable companion, although sometimes noisy.]

March 7th's lips twitched: "That's it?"

She then turned to look at Himeko.

A message floated above Himeko's head: [Affection level 85, from: Like a little sister, cute and fun.]

March 7th's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.

Then she looked up at the top of Qiye's head.

March 7th's expression froze.

She blinked to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

He blinked again to confirm that the words were indeed arranged that way.

Then her face instantly turned red.

"you you……"

She pointed to the top of Qiye's head and stammered.

Qiye subconsciously raised her hand to touch the top of her head, but of course she couldn't feel anything:

"What did you write?"

"Your level of affection for me..."

He swallowed back what he was about to say on March 7th.

Her face turned even redder.

Chapter 5: 300 Children's Poems

"Don't you have any self-awareness?!"

"What do I know? I don't even know what's written on it!"

On March 7th, he ripped the light cone off and shoved it back into his hand, then crossed his arms and turned his face away.

Danheng glanced at her, then at Qiye, his lips twitching slightly, but he said nothing.

Just then, the hatch opened.

A man wearing glasses walked in, his steps steady and his demeanor gentle.

It was Walter, whom Qiye hadn't seen during her earlier scan.

"Himeko, the Black Tower Space Station has sent a distress signal. The antimatter legion has launched a surprise attack, and the space station's defenses are about to collapse."

They requested assistance from the Star Train.

Qi Ye was stunned for a moment.

Black Tower Space Station? Antimatter Legion?

Wait a minute—isn't this where the story just began?

The Black Tower Space Station was attacked, and March 7th and Danheng went to its rescue, where they found a star along the way...

No wonder I didn't see any stars.

Himeko had already stood up:

"Danheng, March 7th, you two go to the space station for rescue. I'll be there shortly."

Walter, you stay on the train and assist with command.

Danheng nodded, and March 7th also stopped blushing and became serious.

Qi Ye glanced at Dan Heng, then at March 7th, and pointed to herself:

"Well... I actually have the ability to fight back."

On March 7th, he turned to look at him, his face clearly saying, "You're kidding me."

"You? Aren't you the one who sells light cones?"

"Selling light cones is my main job, and I also do some fighting on the side."

Qi Ye straightened up, trying to make himself look like a capable fighter.

March 7th looked suspicious.

Dan Heng glanced at him, his face expressionless.

Himeko thought for a moment and nodded: "The more people, the more help. Go."

"Sister Himeko!" March 7th exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"Didn't he say he was capable of fighting?"

Himeko smiled, her eyes holding a meaningful look.

"Perfect, you can assess your new friend's capabilities on the way."

On March 7th, he opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

She glared at Qiye angrily, then crossed her arms and walked toward the cabin door.

"Don't hold us back."

"Don't worry, it won't take long."

While Qi Ye spoke casually, he was actually frantically searching through the system's repository.

His eyes lit up quickly.

[Light Cone Name: "The Man with His Own Background Music"]

[Ability: Automatically plays exclusive background music during battle, increasing the host's combat power by 500% during the duration of the background music.]

Reaction speed increased by 300%, and all attacks are accompanied by dazzling special effects. [BGM duration: 3 minutes]

[Side effect: The host cannot stop dancing until the background music ends.]

Combat actions will be uncontrollably influenced by the background music.

During background music (BGM), conversations can only be replaced with the style of the song.

[Friendly reminder: It's undeniably handsome, but also undeniably awkward. We recommend using it in less crowded areas.]

...Alright. At least we can fight.

Qi Ye silently closed the system panel and followed in the footsteps of San Yueqi and Dan Heng.

Black Tower Space Station.

As soon as Qi Ye got off the vehicle, before he could even get a good look at his surroundings, a group of phantom soldiers rushed towards him.

Its body, composed of twisted particles, glows with a dark purple light.

There were at least four or five of them, and they were surging in from the end of the corridor.

Dan Heng held his spear horizontally, assuming a fighting stance: "Prepare to meet the enemy."

On the seventh day of the third month, the bowstring was drawn, and ice crystals condensed.

Then she suddenly turned to look at Qiye, a smile playing on her lips, took a step back, and gestured for him to enter.

"Didn't you say you were capable of fighting? Go! Let us see your strength."

Qi Ye glanced at the surging vacancies.

He glanced at March 7's obviously gloating expression and took a deep breath.

"Alright. You all step back."

Dan Heng frowned slightly, while San Yueqi raised an eyebrow, and the two of them each took a step back.

Qi Ye stood still and closed her eyes.

[System notification: "The man with his own background music" has been activated]

[Exclusive background music loading... Automatically matching based on the host's current mental state...]

Matching complete

[Music Track: 300 Children's Poems]

[Style: Instructive]

Qi Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Wait, what does "Three Hundred Children's Poems" mean?

The next second, music started playing.

A familiar yet unfamiliar melody appears.

A male voice spoke.

"Child~ Child~ Why are you so bad~"

"Why did you bully and deceive me?"

March 7th's expression changed from schadenfreude to an unfathomable bewilderment.

Danheng's eyebrows twitched.

A warm yellow spotlight descended from the sky and shone on Qi Ye, with a halo of light around its edge.

Qi Ye opened her eyes.

He opened his mouth, and his voice automatically became that kind of lifeless yet inexplicably sincere tone.

"Feint! Feint! Don't run so fast!"

Let me read you a passage from "Three Hundred Children's Poems"—I guarantee you'll become well-behaved after hearing it!

March 7th stared in disbelief.

"Where did you get this robe?! When did you put it on?!"

And this staff! Where did the space station get a staff?!

Qi Ye looked down and realized that he had somehow ended up wearing a golden cassock.

He was also holding a nine-ringed tin staff in his hand, the rings on the staff jingling.

Each sound bursts forth a tiny golden lotus flower.
