Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

When Rita's voice reached Arvit's ears, she stopped what she was doing and turned to look at the crowd.

"Eh~ Vice Captain Rita?!"

"Reporting to the deputy captain, due to the severe weather caused by the blizzard, the train has been officially suspended. I have come to the train station to carry out routine maintenance at the request of a junior colleague."

Arvit hurriedly put down the wrench in her hand and gave Rita a standard salute.

"As expected of a reliable and helpful senior colleague~"

Xia Yuan pondered this, and at the same time asked Alvit:

"So, does that mean the tool... cough cough... the ticket seller's train named 'Red Kite' has also stopped running?"

Xia Yuan had already prepared for everyone to return to their own homes.

He casually inquired about the situation and whereabouts of the fairy Ellie and the other heroes, but when Xia Yuan asked Alvette, she had never heard of the existence of this [Red Kite] rail train to Mount Taixu.

"The Red Kite? Please wait a moment, sir, I'll check it for you right away."

Arvit used her access privileges to search all the trains in Sky City, but even the records did not contain any information about the [Red Kite] railcar.

"That's strange, there's absolutely no record of this train."

until.......

Bronya showed the reliable Miss Alvette the lottery ticket and the train ticket to Mount Taixu.

The great Herrscher of Consciousness is altering the other person's consciousness.

Please wait...

Initially looking slightly confused and bewildered, Arvitt became unusually excited upon seeing Xia Yuan and his group, clasping her hands together and saying excitedly:

"Oh, you must be going to Mount Taixu to participate in the annual 'Noisy Holiday Symphony' event hosted by the great Herald of Knowledge, right?"

Please come in, please come in. Oh, by the way, these are your exclusive event tickets. Everyone gets one, so please keep them safe. They're not only proof of your train ride, but also an important tool for participating in the event and winning prizes. Please keep them safe!

"An important item?! That means the ticket can be exchanged for a limited-edition New Year's Houmu plushie!"

"Bingo, you guessed right! Not only are there Houmu dolls, but there are also other generous prizes waiting for everyone at Mount Taixu."

Bronya's eyes sparkled, and she even had her eye on the tickets Xia Yuan had. Anyway, her silly subordinate wouldn't need them; she could just keep them for him once they got to Mount Taixu.

The train passageway, which was originally closed for emergency maintenance, was opened by Arvid.

"Oh, right~ First of all, the great Herrscher of Knowledge has prepared the first challenge for everyone."

Please find the train named "Red Kite" among the many trains within the specified time. However, you will be separated and only one person can find the train at a time. If you fail to find it, you will receive a small punishment from the great Herrscher of Knowledge.

Miss Alvitt held a pre-prepared card in her hand and read the lines written on it to the crowd.

"Bronya accepts Xiaoshi's challenge; when it comes to games, Bronya will not lose."

"You idiot subordinate, Seele, and everyone else, let's go! Anyone who doesn't arrive at the train on time will have a month's salary deducted from their paycheck."

Bronya took the lead and was the first to step into the train passageway that was still under maintenance.

"Wait, Duck, I haven't agreed yet!"

Xia Yuan followed in Bronya's footsteps and was the second to step into the passage ahead.

"Bronya, wait a minute... My other self, let's go in too."

Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, Xi'er~

Seele was a little worried about Bronya and Xia Yuan, and didn't know if there was any danger in the passage ahead.

Since they would be separated, Miss Black Seele immediately entered Seele's consciousness to prevent them from being forcibly separated as soon as they stepped into the passage.

"Hey, you with the messy hair, let's have a contest! Whoever loses has to go to Mount Taixu and do some field research!"

“Alright, Dr. Tesla, then so be it. I also want to experience what it’s like to vacation at Mount Taixu.”

"Humph!"

The professor with the red twin tails snorted coldly.

She would never lose to the guy with the messy hair. She was willing to stake her glory as a genius scientist on herself. She was determined to be the one vacationing on Mount Taixu. The red-haired doctor took the initiative to step into the passage, with Ai Yin following closely behind.

"Um... Rita-neechan, see you on the train~"

Little Greta waved to Rita, then skipped and hopped into the passage, disappearing from sight.

At this point, only Rita and Klein remained at the ticket counter.

"Then shall we come in together with little Klein, this distant cousin of the fairy Ellie?"

Klein nodded helplessly. Why does everyone like to dwell on their own shortcomings...?

Less than a moment after everyone went inside~

A brown-haired girl carrying a package hurriedly came from afar.

"Phew~ Finally...we've arrived. Modern carriage stations are so hard to find. Going back to my hometown involves such complicated procedures. It's giving me a headache...I wonder if the activity vouchers Xiaoshi gave me are still valid."

Upon seeing the ticket booth on one side, Li Sushang breathed a sigh of relief, then clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, saying:

"Madam, may I ask how to board the [Red Kite] carriage... um, excuse me, it's a train... that leads to Mount Taixu?"

Li Sushang took out the prize ticket given to her by Xiaoshi from the package and handed it to the other party.

"Hello, this very friendly passenger! Just follow the aisle next to me. And please keep your ticket safe."

"Thank you for telling me, benefactor!"

Li Sushang carried her travel bag on her scabbard and returned home in glory.

When Li Sushang stepped into the train passageway beside her, Alvitt, whose consciousness had been altered by the great Herrscher of Knowledge, regained consciousness and looked blankly at the empty surroundings in front of her.

"Huh?"

"Strange... Wasn't Vice Captain Rita just standing in front of me a moment ago?"

Chapter 136 I am Li Sushang, the young master of Yijian Manor.

Arvitt seemed to realize something.

"Could it be that Senior Rita came to check how hard I'm working? If so, I certainly won't let the vice-captain down!"

The reliable, handywoman is still full of energy...

Just a short time ago, Xia Yuan stepped into the depths of the train passage.

They were teleported to a place filled with many railcars. Bronya was not nearby, and Seele and the others did not appear behind them for a long time.

"It seems that this space constructed by the Herrscher of Knowledge has indeed separated me from Bronya and the others."

Ring ring~

Just then, a series of broadcasts sounded from afar and reached Xia Yuan's ears.

[Attention passengers, the C001 Chiyuan train bound for Taixu Mountain will depart in ten minutes. Passengers who have not yet boarded, please do so promptly. We wish you a pleasant journey.]

Xia Yuan looked at the dozen or so railcars that were almost out of sight.

"The current situation should be to locate the [Red Kite] train among these trains."

But when Xia Yuan saw the extremely obvious signs on the carriage, he couldn't help but smile. Was Xiao Shi afraid that we wouldn't be able to find it?

Feeling there was no challenge at all, Xia Yuan walked straight toward a large, plump, white red kite ornament with a pink feather on its head that was hanging above a carriage in the distance.

But unexpectedly... on the road, Xia Yuan encountered an unexpected person.

The girl carried her baggage on a sword sheath, carefully examining the train carriage in front of her with the ticket in her hand, pacing back and forth nearby.

"Oh no, oh no! So many iron carriages, which one is the Crimson Kite? Xiao Shi didn't explain it clearly to me either. I should have asked that familiar-looking lady at the ticket office earlier. Don't these post stations even have a coachman? If only there were someone nearby to ask for directions..."

The girl's thinking about modern life is still stuck in her time.

The girl looked around...

When he saw Xia Yuan slowly approaching, his eyes lit up, and he walked up to him with his sword and said:

"Young master, please wait."

Hearing the sound behind him, Xia Yuan stopped in his tracks.

"Young Master? There seems to be no one around me. Could it be that my consciousness has also been altered by the Herrscher of Knowledge and I've been transported back to ancient times in Shenzhou?"

With me here, even the Herrscher of Knowledge cannot alter your consciousness, fool. Look behind you; someone is clearly calling you.

[Extremely Evil] Vilvie was reminding Xia Yuan, but her words contained a hint of coquetry.

Xia Yuan turned around.

Upon seeing the girl in front of him holding a sword sheath, he instinctively raised both hands above his head.

"My lady, I still have some money on me. Please do me the favor and let me pass through."

"No, no, no, young master, you misunderstand. I am not a robber."

Seeing that the other person's attention was focused on her sword, the girl voluntarily put down her scabbard, took a slight step back to clear up any misunderstanding, and bowed with clasped hands.

"My name is Li Sushang, the young master of Yijian Manor."

This journey was intended to return to my homeland and lay the foundation for my ancestor, the Crimson Kite, but I never expected to lose my way. If you, young master, know the location of the Crimson Kite, please inform me. I, Su Chang, thank you in advance.

Xia Yuan naturally recognized the girl in front of him as Li Sushang.

He was just making a little joke with the other person; it wasn't a physical reaction!

Now Xia Yuan needs to come up with an elegant title for himself as a person of the martial arts world.

Hey, Xia, I have an idea!

"tell me the story."

[His surname is Xia, his given name is Ziyuan, and his pen name is Xianyu Jushi (Salted Fish Hermit). Doesn't that perfectly suit your image, my dear?]

“Miss [Extremely Evil], you mustn’t be ridiculous.”

At their first meeting, Xia Yuan had no intention of ruining the image he had in Su Chang's mind.

【Tsk~】

Xia Yuan slowly lowered his hand, and at the same time clasped his hands in a salute, saying:

“Miss Su Chang, I apologize for my earlier offense. I mistook you for a villain who committed crimes here. My name is Xia Yuan. I came here to go to Mount Taixu, but I accidentally got separated from my friend, hence this.”

[Hey, you surnamed Xia, stop pretending to be some ancient Chinese from the last century. If you keep doing it, believe me, I'll tie you up and make you my bandit queen!]

【Extremely Evil】Vilvie's deliberately fierce words echoed in Xia Yuan's ears.

Xia Yuan simply went along with the other person's little mood.

"Mount Taixu?!"

“Young Master Xia, that’s quite a coincidence. My master’s hometown is also on Mount Taixu. Since you’ve lost your friend, why don’t you travel with me? We can have someone to accompany us on the way and look after each other. What do you think, Young Master?”

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

【Tch~ I bet you, surnamed Xia, are already secretly overjoyed, like a blooming daisy, ready to oblige. Why don't you talk to me like that? Or is this your preferred style? Should I wear that Shenzhou-style outfit he's wearing for you to see?】

Okay~

【Tch~ Dream on. Go pretend to be an ancient person, I need to rest!】

With [Extreme Evil] Velvi remaining silent, Xia Yuan really wanted to see what [Extreme Evil] Velvi would look like wearing Miss Su Chang's clothes. Maybe he should find an opportunity to go to Taixu Manor and ask Shi Bao for a few pieces.

Perhaps... there might be some nice clothes among the things you can redeem with your tickets?

As for why I didn't ask Miss Sushang for it....

The reason is:

Firstly, Xia Yuan still needed to save face to survive in the world, and secondly, he didn't want to be seen as an impudent person and beheaded by a flurry of swords.

"By the way, young master, do you know where the iron carriage, um... the train [Red Kite] that leads to Mount Taixu is parked?"

Su Chang's words brought Xia Yuan's thoughts back to reality.

Pointing to the large, decorative chicken on the carriage in the distance, Li Sushang looked in the direction Xia Yuan was pointing.

"Is that the red kite bird that follows Grandmaster Chi Yuan?!"

The girl couldn't help but feel grateful for her good fortune.

Indeed, in the world of martial arts, one cannot do without companions. With someone by my side, I am no longer afraid of wandering around alone and losing my way home.
