Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 214 Star: Godfather!

The cultivation chamber that Nguyen Mai mentioned is located at the very bottom of the space station.

Xing felt like she had been tricked, and she was actually a little unhappy.

Following the dark corridor, the insects had been cleaned up. Xing was in a bad mood and remained unusually silent the whole way.

Yun rubbed her head without saying anything.

—Daughter, I told you not to be fooled by mature older women.

Of course, we can't expect Xing to really learn from his mistakes.

She'll do it again soon.

The lights were dim in the confinement section hall.

The two walked to the vicinity of the elevator.

Xing, with her sharp eyes, noticed a strange person standing not far away.

"Hey, over there... there seems to be someone there."

Xing squinted and looked carefully at that side.

There's no need to look at the Cloud Capital.

Didn't I just say that a man with a plaster-like hairstyle entered the space station?

That must be Veritas Ladio.

If it's someone you know, you can go and say hello.

At this moment, the familiar professor was wearing a plaster cast on his head, with a chessboard in front of him.

He raised his hand and moved one of the pieces: "Look, a brilliant move."

He slowly raised his head: "How would you solve this?"

Yunzhi: ?

Who is he talking to?

Then, they watched in disbelief as the man with the plaster-coated hair suddenly teleported—to the other side of the chessboard—and picked up another chess piece.

"Oh, only an idiot would ask such a question. Just download it here..."

He placed the chess piece on a certain square.

Then, it teleported to the other side again, looking somewhat bewildered.

But when he looked up, he saw two people opposite him.

Ah, I've noticed them...

Yunzhi had just raised his hand, preparing to give Professor Ladio a very polite greeting.

Suddenly, another strange voice came from beside him—

"Godfather!!!"

Yunzhi was so frightened that she almost slapped her on the head.

No... Xing, what did you call me just now?

Yunzhi's expression faltered.

Xing seemed to suddenly realize that she had just used an inappropriate form of address. She shrank back and gave an awkward laugh.

"—I'm sorry, Zhi, I don't know why I called you that, it's just... I suddenly wanted to shout it out."

Yunzhi: ...No, what...why is this?

The man with the plaster hair opposite: ...Did you just hear that strange name?

Yun forced down her doubts and turned to put on a smile.

"Long time no see, Professor Ladio."

Veritas Ladio pushed the chessboard aside, stood up gracefully—though he didn't sit down in the chair—and then a thick book appeared in his right hand.

"It is my honor to meet the First Envoy here."

Ladio said in a flat tone, "Maybe I shouldn't be wearing this plaster head."

Yun Zhi raised an eyebrow: "To make Professor Ladio admit that I'm not an idiot? That makes me really happy."

Ladio opened the large book: "I don't think anyone would consider you a fool."

"No, it's the Annihilation Gang."

Yun replied casually, "They think the [Hunter] has a narrow fate, probably because they think I'm a fool—a clown that even the Ancestor of Embers wouldn't look down on, so I don't need to care."

"Ancestor of Destruction" is the name given to Nanuk by the people of the Immortal Boat.

Ladio slammed the book shut, then glanced at Xing to the side.

"Are you on your way to find a creation of genius?"

Star peeked out and sized up Ladio.

Yun Zhi pressed his forehead: "Ruan Mei created a messenger, but it's not a big deal. I still prefer cute children."

Ladio knew what creature the cloud was referring to, and he remained calm about it:

"I heard there's some kind of equipment here that can create those little creatures. If you're interested, you can go and take a look."

"Oh? This looks like a lot of fun." Yunzhi immediately became interested.

Making cat cakes is so much fun!

Xing blinked.

"that……"

Yun turned to look at her.

Almost simultaneously, Latio's plaster-faced man stared at her, making her heart skip a beat.

But she still had to say it.

"Shall I go first?"

The Star Core Essence is fearless.

Ladio didn't stop him: "What you're looking for is downstairs. Just take the elevator down."

Yunzhi rubbed her head: "Actually, you can handle it yourself. That thing has a defect. At most, it will be unable to maintain its existence after 56 seconds."

"56 seconds?"

Xing tilted her head: "So, I only need to hold out for 56 seconds?"

No matter what, the other side is still a Commander, even if it's artificially cultivated...

Never mind, the Star Core Spirit has nothing to fear.

"If you can't hold on, I'll step in. Don't worry about the children, go."

Kid, you go ahead, I won't go see that bug.

Xing nodded, took the elevator, and quickly disappeared from sight.

Ladio watched her retreating figure.

"Are you just going to let her go by herself like that?"

Yunzhi continued watching Xing's retreating figure: "Don't worry, she's excellent."

"You don't look relieved."

Ladio couldn't help but sabotage the situation.

Yunzhi glanced at him.

She didn't follow up on what he was saying.

"Speaking of which, that thing you gave me last time..."

Ladio quickly thought of the object that sealed the phase flame:

"...I hope this helps you."

"You've been a great help, Professor Ladio." Yun Zhi smiled brightly. "When I returned to Luofu last time, I used it to capture a Great Lord of Annihilation—of course, I used His power."

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to catch Huanlong.

Ladio's face was hidden under a plaster cast, so his expression was not visible.

"It is my honor to be able to help you."

"I should also thank you, Professor Ladio—but what are you doing at the space station?"

Yun asked in confusion.

Ladio silently lowered his head and flipped through the book: "Didn't that excellent intuition from [The Hunt] tell you?"

Yun smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have the habit of reading the ending of a mystery novel first."

However, it's true that you can find out if you want to.

A loud bang came from below.

It seems that Xing has already begun fighting against the Star-Shattering King Worm?

Go down and keep an eye on it. What if the child gets eaten before 56 seconds are up? I'd have a hard time explaining it to her mother, her aunt, her third aunt, her second uncle, and her maternal grandfather.

Even though I know it's not related, I really can't help it.
