Silver Wolf: Don't call me auntie. How could a young girl have a nephew as big as you?

Galaxy Handsome Boy: But I'm only one day old, and look, we both have the surname Yin (Silver).

Silver Wolf: ...

Galaxy Handsome Boy: Auntie, where's my mom? I miss her.

Silver Wolf: Kafka is on another mission. I was free, so I thought I'd check what you were up to. I didn't expect you to have registered for a chat app, so I came here.

Galaxy Handsome Boy: As expected of my aunt, she easily hacked into the train's internal network, which is thrilling and impressive!

Silver Wolf: You must have heard that from my bookmarks, right? I knew you absorbed the data from the game consoles, which is why you've become a bit abnormal.

Galaxy Handsome Boy: I'm perfectly normal.

Silver Wolf: Change your nickname first.

Galaxy Handsome Boy: No change.

Silver Wolf: I know your train is about to undergo a leap, how about we play a couple of exciting games before that? I'll take you flying.

Galaxy Handsome Boy: So Auntie wanted to annoy II Ball Jiu Qi to find someone to play with? My hourly rate is very high.

Silver Wolf: Why are you talking about money now... Didn't you hook up with a rich woman?

Galaxy Handsome Boy: No, we're just in a normal relationship.

Silver Wolf: Kafka has the ability to control minds. I'll have her kidnap that rich woman. Anyway, she probably won't mind having a daughter-in-law.

Galaxy Handsome Boy: Auntie, what I want is love, not slavery.

Silver Wolf: Wow, you actually have this kind of awareness, kid. Log in, log in, it's time to go hunting.

Galaxy Handsome Boy: I don't have any games on my phone.

Silver Wolf: It's already installed for you.

Galaxy Handsome Boy: How do you play this game? Do you rub glass?

Silver Wolf: What era are we living in? Still rubbing glass? These days, people just pull their spirits in to play. Let me teach you.

Qiong was surprised to see a game app suddenly appear on his phone's home screen. Before he could even agree, it opened and entered the game on its own. Then he felt a pulling force that dragged his consciousness into another space. Although Qiong was still looking down at his phone on the outside, his consciousness had already entered the game.

Qiong is currently on a street with a medieval art style. Pedestrians are hurrying along both sides of the street, NPCs are standing on both sides of the street waiting to issue quests, and the people walking around are all players wearing various equipment.

"Silly boy, over here."

Silver Wolf's voice came, and Qiong turned to look at the side of the street. The little girl, dressed the same as in her memory, was standing there. She looked very young, with a lazy expression on her face, as if she had nothing to talk about.

"Auntie, how do you play this game?"

After arriving in this game world, Qiong felt full of energy, as if she was born for this purpose. To hell with the exploration journey!

"I've already accepted the quest, and I'll trade you the equipment."

Silver Wolf said decisively, and then a series of notifications appeared in front of Qiong's eyes. One by one, precious equipment fell into his inventory, ready to be equipped at any time.

"You can even trade? I thought it was a competitive game," Qiong remarked.

“Of course it’s a competitive game, but I hacked into the system and enabled the trading function. With your strength, you don’t need to start from the bottom and fight your way up.” Silver Wolf said.

"My aunt understands me best."

"You should know that you have inherited everything from me. The skills and experience I honed in the game should have been absorbed into your body. So you are like my second player in the game. I need a teammate like you."

Silver Wolf looked at Qiong as if he were looking at his own child, but not in the sense of a child. It was more like he was looking at an account that he had nurtured with his own hands and that it had come to life. He had brought Qiong to play the game this time to test his abilities.

As the two were talking, a new person suddenly appeared in the team list. Qiong looked up in confusion and saw a tall figure, more than three meters tall, wearing a completely sealed medieval plate armor, with not a single part of his body exposed, standing in front of him.

"This is?"

Qiong looked at the burly man blocking out the light with a puzzled expression. His full-face helmet revealed no emotion, and it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female. But gender didn't need to be defined so clearly. There were many different genders among aliens, and there were even armed helicopters, so Qiong didn't care at all.

"Oh, she's my teammate in Star Core Hunter. I just dragged her along to play games when I had nothing else to do."

Silver Wolf explained in a flat tone that it seemed to be an extremely ordinary relationship, someone who was just brought in to make up the numbers for the game.

"Brother, what's your name?"

Qiong raised her hand and patted the big man's plate armor, immediately treating him as a man. If this were a woman, she would be three meters tall with eyes like copper bells and muscles all over her body. The image was too beautiful. Qiong, who was used to having beautiful girls by her side, dared not even think about it.

"Her voice is broken, just call her Sa, or Samo."

Silver Wolf spoke Samo's name instead of hers. Qiong felt a little strange, but then she thought that this was an online game, and equipment issues were common. What if a rough guy suddenly shouted "Is my mic blasting?" while she was playing? That would scare her to death.

"Hey Samo, I'm Qiong. Judging by your physique, you could probably kill a Doomsday Beast with one punch. I wish I were as burly as you."

Qiong smiled and raised his right hand, saying polite words. Of course, this was a lie. He was very satisfied with his body. If he really looked like Samo, how could he get close to Estádio? She wouldn't tolerate it.

Samo remained silent, raising his arm, as big as a punching bag, to shake hands with Qiong. Qiong thought that although this guy was silent, he had a good personality and didn't act arrogantly because of his big size. This guy was easy to get along with!

Chapter 18 Brother, Don't Do This

"Let's go."

After equipping himself with all his weapons and armor, Qiong was eager to get started. He touched his back and saw a long sword, much taller than himself, slung behind him. He had to raise his arm high above his head to reach the hilt and draw it. It was his favorite weapon, the katana.

"let's go."

Silver Wolf was anything but calm when it came to playing games. After teaming up with Qiong, the two of them entered a system countdown and were then teleported to a wasteland to begin their hunting journey.

"Cut it, cut it, cut it!"

"Climb! Climb! Climb!"

"Stay! Stay! Stay!"

After several repetitive missions, Qiong and Yinlang were teleported to the main street where they could accept missions, both with satisfied smiles on their faces. Qiong had had a great time, while Yinlang had found a suitable teammate.

Silver Wolf didn't intentionally choose to be a lone wolf in the game. If she had suitable teammates, she would like to team up with them. However, the others were either too troublesome or too bad to keep up with her skills, so she abandoned them all. Qiong Xiaoyue -*-~ First++fazi was undoubtedly the best teammate she had been waiting for for many years.

First, there's their teamwork. The two are so in sync that they can understand each other's intentions with just a glance. When hunting, they strike the exact same pose, appearing as if they are double images in the monster's vision. Everything they do is 100% synchronized—rolling, drawing their swords, drinking potions—it's exactly the same at all times. This is just as Silver Wolf guessed: all of Qiong's gaming skills are inherited from her teacher, making her incredibly powerful.

Compared to the cooperation between Silver Wolf and Qiong, Samo appeared very calm. Although she did not speak, she communicated using the voice settings provided by the system.

For example, she'd cover me, I'm about to charge, or dodge. This kind of communication and coordination is quite simple, and her gaming skills are excellent; it's clear she's a smart person in real life as well.

"Good job, kid. You'll play games with me for the next few days."

Silver Wolf patted Qiong on the shoulder and praised her, saying that she really liked this kind of game partner who got along with her perfectly and was always available.

"I definitely want to go to Pinocchio again next time."

Qiong directly stated her destination, and upon hearing the name Pinocone, Samo lowered his head and looked down at Qiong, seemingly interested in the place.

"Hey Samo, you want to go too? Do you Star Core Hunters get paid leave? If you can come to Pinocone to meet me, I can show you around."

Qiong spoke to Samo, who neither nodded nor shook her head. This was how it was when communicating with a teammate whose microphone was broken, but Qiong felt that she should be able to type.

Just as Qiong had this idea, he saw a cute anime girl's emoticon appear in the team chat channel. The emoticon was a girl smiling, a common chibi emoticon.

Qiong's head started to heat up. He imagined a three-meter-tall giant, Yi Lingyi, chatting with him on his phone at home, then using his thick fingers to press a Q-version girl emoji to smile at him. His body trembled like a leaf.

"Uh, let's play together again next time."

At this moment, Qiong felt his body sway and his consciousness left the game world. Before leaving, he spoke to Yinhe and Samo, and then he regained consciousness.

"What happened?"

After Qiong woke up, she asked in confusion. In front of her was San Yueqi's pretty face with a worried expression. She didn't know when she had run to her room, while Huang Quan was still sitting next to her, seemingly without moving.

"The train is about to begin its jump. According to regulations, this carries certain risks, so we need to fasten our seatbelts in the observation car."

March 7th told the truth, and Qiong nodded to show her understanding. Then she took Huang Quan's hand and left the room, walking one carriage forward to the observation carriage.

Through the huge viewing window, you can see that the Star Train has left the space station and is floating in space. As Qiong looks at the space station getting farther and farther away, she feels reluctant for the first time. Estella is there. Because of her family, she cannot leave. Qiong feels that she is lucky. She met her companions right after she was born and joined the free and easy train crew, starting her adventurous life.

But was it really just good luck? The adventure unfolded so smoothly; perhaps that mysterious mother had planned it all long ago.

Qiong sat down on the sofa, and the seatbelt automatically fastened around his waist. Huang Quan was on his left and San Yueqi was on his right. Looking at the two women with completely different styles, Qiong felt as if he had accomplished something remarkable, having one on each side.

The Star Train's special jump device was activated, and March 7, as a senior, naturally explained the origin of this device to Qiong.

“Let me tell you, the Star Train is something else entirely. It was once the vehicle of the Star God Akivili, the pioneer.”

March 7th spoke quite seriously about Akivili, after all, it was the force that saved her, so she naturally joined the [Pioneers] camp without hesitation.

"Is that so? Are we all lackeys of [Pioneer]?"

Qiong was also a newborn, so he really didn't know these little-known facts. So now he looked at March 7 with a look of amazement. The train that can travel between galaxies is really amazing.

"Can't you speak more politely? But you can't be a lackey anymore. Akivili has fallen. At best, we're just on the path of 'pioneering'."

March 7 rolled her eyes at Qiong before continuing, her tone tinged with helplessness. She wished she had a Star God as a backer, but if she didn't, she didn't, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Ah Quan, have you heard about this?"

Qiong turned to Huang Quan beside her and asked. She must have a lot of experience, and she wondered how old Huang Quan was. Qiong was very curious about this woman.

"The Star Train has been a topic of conversation among the Sea Patrol Knights. I never imagined that I would one day be able to board it myself."

Qiong nodded and said that she knew about the Star Train before, but she never thought she would have such contact with it. It all started because she got lost by chance.

The ability to get lost has brought Huang Quan a lot of trouble, but she is calm and composed, and her emotions are basically unaffected. She accepts her bad luck. This time, getting lost was one of the few lucky moments in her life. Not only did she find a ride to Pinocchio, but she also had someone who cares about her by her side.

Chapter 19 A Brand New Beginning

"What a pity. If Akivili were still alive, we would have to give him face wherever we go."

Qiong sighed and said that she knew this was the Star God's vehicle, which was quite high-end, but that was all. It was probably because Akivili hadn't left any legacy, and she didn't know if the Face Fruit was still around.

"Actually, we still have some face now, because when Akivili was alive, he constantly expanded the star track, connecting one planet after another and lighting up the ties between civilizations. Some primitive planets were able to develop thanks to our [expansion]. Not everyone is sentimental, but there are always people who are grateful. The reputation of the Star Train has been passed down to this day. Who doesn't know that we are good people and a good force?"

March 7th spoke with increasing pride, having already bound herself to Akivili. After all, she was rescued by the Starry Sky Train, and the first force she came into contact with after losing her memory was the train crew. Of course, she had to repay the life-saving grace.

"So, Qiong boy, behave yourself when you go to Pinocchio, don't embarrass the train."

March 7th revealed her core thoughts: Qiong is now part of the train crew, but she doesn't think he's a good person. It's not that he has bad intentions, but his behavior is hard to judge.

"Am I not normal?" Qiong asked, pointing to her face.

"Hard to say."

March 7th said with a smile, and Qiong immediately reached out to pinch her cheek. March 7th yelled angrily and immediately started pinching Qiong. Huang Quan, who was standing next to Liu Ni/Yi 2!*Ba Si Si Ba, watched this noisy scene and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Ahem, this is Train Conductor Pam. As you all know, our next stop is the Grand Event Star, Pinocchio. Although I know you've all been looking forward to that world-famous star hotel for a long time, there are three things I need to remind you of before we depart."

Pam appeared in front of the two who were bickering. The train conductor had to be given face, so Qiong and March Seven stopped fighting and looked at the train conductor to speak.

"First, Asdna, where Pinocchio is located, is a galaxy rich in memory matter, and historically it was one of the major holes in the memory domain. Although thousands of years have passed, the concentration of memory matter in front of it is still higher than average. Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any major problems... but everyone's physical condition is different, so if you experience dizziness, hallucinations, or memory disturbances, don't take it lightly!"

Pam spoke each word clearly, but when put together, Qiong and March 7's eyes gradually went blank. They couldn't understand any of these unique names, which was indeed the case since they hadn't investigated their destination beforehand.

"Secondly, Pinocchio is the territory of the Harmonious Family, and this is the first time the family has publicly extended an invitation to other factions. Remember, the train was invited as a guest, and the rules must be followed."

"Third, it's less of a request and more of a commission: please take some time while you're on vacation in Pinocchio to look for the nameless passengers who got off here."

"Hey, do any of our train's predecessors still remain in Pinocene?"

Upon hearing this, March 7th asked in surprise, thinking it was just a normal vacation and fun, but it turned into a search for people, and they were searching for the train's veterans.

"Yes, according to the train's records, three passengers disembarked: Tiernan, Ragwalk, and Lazarina. They were a train guard, a mechanic, and a surveyor, respectively. That's all the information we have."

Himeko spoke up at this moment. As the train's navigator, she knew almost as much as Pam, and she usually communicated with Pam the most. She could be considered an encyclopedia of the train.

"Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?" March 7th complained.

"Let's just leave it to fate. Considering the diversity of the nameless guests... we might even find their descendants, or even have a very small chance of meeting them in person."

Himeko said with a smile, "This is indeed not a task that must be completed. After all these years, who knows if they are alive or dead? Pam's search for them is more about commemoration and reminiscence than anything urgent."

After Pam finished speaking, a blinding tunnel opened up in front of the train's engine. The tunnel closed after the train entered, marking the start of an ultra-long-distance jump.

When Qiong woke up, the Star Train had already completed its jump, and before her was the galaxy where Pinocone was located.

Chapter 20 showcased biodiversity.

In the empty starry sky, a long queue had already formed, with all sorts of interstellar vehicles floating in the void near the train.
