Silver Wolf had just finished constructing her body using Ether Editing.
Then, Xia Ye's "So hot" stunned her for a few seconds.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing!"
Xia Ye felt a bit embarrassed, waving her hand and said:
"It was just a spontaneous thought, Silver Wolf, don't mind it!"
"Spontaneous thought..."
Silver Wolf lowered her head and looked at her own clothes. It wasn't revealing, was it? What's so "hot" about it? Had this guy never seen a woman before?
"Ahem!"
Xia Ye coughed lightly, changing the subject:
"What did you come to see me for?"
"Hmm..."
Silver Wolf rubbed her chin with her finger, circled around Xia Ye, and carefully examined her before her eyes turned strange. "You don't seem anything special at all! One of my colleagues is going crazy because of you, you know?"
"..."
Xia Ye felt a little sympathy for Eliou.
If the game's plot was Eliou's script, she had already changed a lot of it -
She saved the Xianzhou fleet, making Xianzhou owe her a favor.
She helped A-Xing activate her Star Core, allowing her to possess power ahead of schedule.
Although these might be positive developments for Eliou, still within the bounds of the final script, the feeling of losing control would be unbearable for anyone who plays with fate!
"'Fate's Slave' Eliou!"
"I'm sorry, how about Silver Wolf, you tell him that next time, you should also give me a script and I'll consider whether to act according to the plot?"
"Hehe, if I go back and say that to him, he'll be furious. But..." Silver Wolf curiously asked, "You know a lot about us Star Core Hunters?"
"Actually, I don't know too much..."
Xia Ye said with a smile, "I knew you were Star Core Hunters, so I did some research. You guys are really all skilled in your own ways. For example, you - Silver Wolf from Punklord, the top hacker in the galaxy, with a bounty of 5.1 billion credits!"
"What, are you going to capture me to claim the bounty?"
Silver Wolf didn't sense any hostility from Xia Ye, but rather felt like she had known him for a long time. This made her feel quite strange and she decided to ask Kafulan about it later.
"No, I'm not interested in credits!"
Xia Ye was telling the truth, if he wanted credits, there were many ways to earn a lot of them -
"I'm interested in the Punklord's 'Ether Editing' technology, it seems amazing!"
"Outsiders can't learn it!" Silver Wolf chuckled, "This is a skill unique to the people of Punklord. If outsiders could learn it, would it be your turn?"
"What if I can learn it?"
"Are you serious?"
"Of course!"
Silver Wolf frowned, Xia Ye didn't seem to be joking. But -
"Let's just say you can learn it, why should I teach you?"
"For A-Xing?"
A smile appeared on Xia Ye's face:
"Though I don't know why you Star Core Hunters deliberately sent A-Xing onto the train, we have indeed accepted her. She's our companion now, I promise I will protect her well, help her grow, that's sincere, right?"
"..."
Silver Wolf's eyes became serious.
"I need to discuss this with my teammates!"
"Okay!"
Xia Ye took out a virtual contract:
"After you discuss it with your teammates, if you agree, put your hand on this. If you disagree, this contract will automatically disappear after three days. Don't worry, the magic net has many benefits, you won't be at a disadvantage!"
"Magic net..."
Silver Wolf took the virtual contract, glanced at the description and terms, and looked at Xia Ye in surprise:
"Is this real?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, I'll go back to see my teammates now. By the way..."
Half of Silver Wolf's body had turned into mosaics, then suddenly, as if remembering something, she raised her phone and said:
"I'll add you to my interstellar network account later, remember to accept it, we can play games together when you're free!"
"Alright, you go ahead then~"
"See you later~"
Silver Wolf's entire body turned into mosaics and then dissipated into the air.
Xia Ye guessed that Ether Editing didn't have so many fancy effects when modifying coordinates. It was probably Silver Wolf who added them, like playing a game -
She's playing her life as a game!
...
Support compartment, platform.
The Stargazer Train was about to depart, and A-Sda came to see them off with many staff members from the space station.
For the past two days, March 7th had been dragging A-Xing around the space station to help out, gaining quite a bit of popularity among the regular staff.
"Bon voyage!" A-Sda waved, "I've prepared a surprise for you in the supply warehouse, open it after you start your journey!"
"Thank you, A-Sda~"
Xia Ye looked at one of the two Black Tower puppets standing quietly beside her:
"As the owner of the space station, aren't you going to say anything?"
"Say what?"
The Black Tower hummed coldly:
"I've already contacted Screw Gu, Ruin Mei, and Stephen, they are all interested in you. They will come here in a while, remember to come back then!"
"I know..."
Xia Ye said with a smile, "But if they want to study me, they need to pay a good price. Remember to tell them, lest they think I'm asking for a high price!"
"Humph!"
The Black Tower was too lazy to answer. What kind of identities did Screw Gu and the others have? Since they agreed to the invitation, they must have come with enough sincerity. This guy Xia Ye is simply being petty!
"She's yours."
The Black Tower pushed the Black Tower puppet beside her towards Xia Ye:
"I've added various modules to her, allowing her to better deal with various situations - um, and some features that you male humans seem to like. Go back and study them yourself!"
"..."
Xia Ye felt the gazes of March 7th and the others behind him, like needles piercing his back, making him feel uncomfortable. This Black Tower guy is doing this on purpose, right? Shouldn't these kinds of things be explained in private?
"Ahem, everyone, we're leaving then!"
"Let's go, let's go, I'm driving!"
"Anyone who doesn't get on board will be left behind!"
After a while, A-Sda watched the Stargazer Train leave the spaceport, then instantly accelerate to its peak speed, turning into a star in the galaxy in the blink of an eye, eventually disappearing from sight.
...
This universe is actually not very friendly to mortals.
After mortal races finally leave their home planet, they discover that the starry sea filled with virtual energy is even more difficult to navigate!
The further away from the planet, the more violent and unstoppable the virtual energy becomes.
Only those forces with more advanced technology can freely navigate the galaxy.
Like the Interstellar Peace Corporation, the Xianzhou Alliance, and the Mourning Minstrels, these organizations with the protection of the Star Gods.
Even these large organizations can't sail through the star sea without hindrance. They also rely on the only force specializing in opening up interstellar routes - the Stargazer Train of the nameless travelers!
The Stargazer Train travels through the universe, leaving behind a silver track that can block virtual energy around it. Even mortal races that have just left their home planet can travel freely on the silver track.
There are often such sentiments in the galaxy: Your civilization is so lucky, the silver track is already laid at your doorstep before you've even left your home planet, praise the Stargazer Train!
Why was Xia Ye making so many感慨 (emotional remarks)?
It was because the TV in the sightseeing car was playing "Interstellar Peace Broadcast," and the female host, a Popora star-fox bunny, was broadcasting the news of the Stargazer Train's departure, claiming that the galaxy might usher in a new era of prosperity.
"The Interstellar Peace Corporation originally wanted to interview us, but I refused!"
Ji Zi handed Xia Ye a cup of coffee.
"Ji Zi Jie!"
"I suddenly have a caffeine allergy!"
Xia Ye absolutely refused to admit that the thing in front of him - this lump of something as thick as melted chocolate - was coffee!
Ji Zi apparently had a special talent. The Magic Ring Alliance's specialty purple coffee that A-Sda specifically chose, which only needed to be brewed and then could be drunk, was brewed into this by her. It could be considered a natural talent, though in a negative way!
