Collapse, survive

"Did the train conductor miss me?"

"Of course, passenger Fang Jie, I heard from other passengers that you did a lot of good deeds in a world that even the [Exploration] has never reached. There aren't many passengers as warm-hearted as you! Even the train felt the new Exploration energy and is burning brightly. Thank you for your contributions, passenger."

Actually, I secretly transferred the [Expansion] energy.

The Star Train can transport energy from the [Exploration] Destiny Path. This is a special ability of the Star God's creation, even rarer than rare artifacts, second only to the Commander.

Comparing the two, well, the Great Emperor and the Imperial Weapon?

Fang Jie was not an envoy, nor did he reach the extreme level of the Yellow Springs, but he was still able to do similar things.

He puffed out his chest: "Thank you too, conductor! Look at the gift I prepared for you, ta-da!"

Pam was stunned: "This is..."

"This is a gift that my new friend suggested we prepare together after hearing about Pam. I call it 'Five Emperors,' which consists of a cartoon character resembling Wuwubo, Jimi, Diting, a clock, and a star train. Of course, as everyone knows, the real emperor is Pam."

That's right, it wasn't Fang Jie's idea; they're all friends.

After being separated from the main cast, I've recently become obsessed with the fictional Fang Jie. I wouldn't say I'm creating something out of nothing, but I do, like Uncle Yang, wish Pam could become a Gundam.

But Uncle Yang was just playing around, while Fang Jie was considering practicality.

"Hmm, this image."

Pam was a little embarrassed, feeling that Fang Jie and Walter were just playing around: "Passenger, the conductor is very happy that you can make more friends. You can invite them to come on board and have a look around. Pam is very interested to see what kind of people they are."

"Ahem, what the train conductor means is that we have everything here, and this isn't a place just anyone can come on! This is a very valuable invitation!"

"You can invite your friends up for a visit; the Starry Sky Train will make every passenger feel right at home!"

As for these so-called Five Emperors...

Fang Jie hopes that Pam can wear it next time he saves the day at Pinocchio. No, his ambition goes beyond that. He hopes to allow Pam to become one with the vehicle, just like he did for others, so that Pam can be pioneering and attacking.

Simply put, although these are just five mascots, Fang Jie is trying to imbue them with the concept of the Star Train, in order to accommodate Pam.

This is a step further than pioneering the three-headed dragon; it can be described as a legendary divine metal being produced.

Last time everyone was able to create a fleeting illusion, next time we should also create an illusion for God's Sunday.

"You seem to be having a good chat, train conductor and Fang Jie."

At this moment, Himeko, who had been defeated by Raiden Mei and had to admit that she was now stronger, walked over with a smile on her face. Her eyes held a strange danger, not so much because she had been defeated, but because she was more like she had been inspired to fight.

That high fighting spirit made Pam involuntarily take a half step back.

Fang Jie: "..."

He had a bad feeling.

"Come, come, after seeing Miss Mei's wonderful cooking skills, I'm also quite excited. I didn't know you could cook like this. My inspiration is bursting, and I need an assistant... But Danheng said he can't eat anymore."

Danheng is an honest man; if he says he can't do it anymore, then he probably really can't.

Walter's words...

At least he rarely gets to see an old friend again today, and Ji Zi is such a considerate person, how could she spoil his mood?

The decision is yours!

.

Chapter 230 An Invitation from Ruan Mei.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm...

It seems like it's time for my morning exercise.

Fang Jie opened his eyes. The rare single night felt alright. Today was still a day to cherish and protect his beliefs, to reject laziness, and to embrace diligence.

"Snapped!"

He angrily slammed down the alarm clock in his mind, did a somersault, spun three and a half times in the air, and landed.

"Full marks!"

People should learn to cheer for themselves.

After maintaining his cool demeanor for a while, Fang Jie, still feeling the aftereffects of his 'unspeakable' feelings, stared blankly at the familiar ceiling of his room, unable to continue looking cool.

"Phew, thank goodness I pretended to be dead and gave in, that's how Himeko lost interest."

That was truly a... feast that's not really suitable for a full recollection.

After washing up and going for his usual morning run at the gym, Fang Jie wasn't in a hurry to go back to the Xianzhou to happily explore. Now that he was back on the train, he naturally had to take a shift.

Stepping into the carriage, Himeko appeared elegant yet terrifying, her graceful figure having been seated for a long time, seemingly observing something.

It can't be a recipe, can it?

As a navigator, shouldn't you study the star map, the various worlds, or even how to further repair the Star Train?

"Himeko, good morning. It looks like you didn't sleep all night."

"I was just about to catch up on my sleep. I'll leave the rest to you, Fang Jie. Seeing how energetic you are, I know my cooking skills have improved again. Pam was right, I did waste food before."

It's such a waste to secretly throw away food that's still edible.

And so, Fang Jie ate it all.

He even had a good sleep, which made these creative dishes seem even more creative, and Himeko couldn't help but become even more curious—

How are you feeling? How are you feeling?

Fang Jie pretended to be stupid and didn't want to recall. Compared to those memories he could no longer remember, there was one thing that Ji Zi might be subtly hinting to Dan Heng to ask him to come back.

Regarding this, one of the purposes of Himeko's visit to Nguyen Mai was...

Compared to the Black Tower, Ruan Mei's relationship with the Starry Sky Train is not quite that of a 'partner,' but she is still someone who can be visited.

There, Ji Zi saw Ting Yun, who was frequently called upon by Fang Jie and had fallen into a deep sleep, requiring difficult treatment.

"Miss Tingyun's current condition is not good, and Ruanmei's treatment methods are somewhat... It can only be said that her life has been saved for now, but it is still uncertain whether she will regain consciousness. We cannot report this to Xianzhou."

"She will wake up. Let's give Tingyun some more time. She will definitely come back."

The dialogues interspersed throughout the feast demonstrated Fang Jie's confidence and gave Himeko even more confidence.

Now, Fang Jie has also responded to Ji Zi's casual remark about Ruan Mei's interest in him.

"Himeko, I will go to the Black Tower Space Station later to await Ruan Mei's arrival."

Fang Jie replied to Ji Zi in this way, and he was very confident.

They weren't afraid at all of being captured and studied in a lab.

Anyway, Black Tower has already done it, in multiple places including Nguyen Mai...

Fang Jie watched as Himeko, who had confidently entrusted the decision to him, left to take over the throne, leaving Fang Jie alone on the throne of the 'King of Trains'.

Pam was avoiding Fang Jie because of yesterday's gift.

Honestly, why are you hiding? You're quite cute.

Thinking this, Fang Jie gazed ahead at the Star Train, which was traveling along the slow silver tracks towards the depths of the universe. The daily journey outside of the jump was not fast, at least not compared to the vast and boundless sea of ​​stars.

It often takes a very long time to see a planet with life.

This is the airspace surrounding the galactic orbit!

It can only be said that the Milky Way is still mostly barren planets, not to mention meteorites. In the past, Fang Jie could easily scoop them up and store up a large amount of 'ammunition'.

Thinking about it carefully, these tricks, which seemed so childish back then, were actually quite naive; they were just like a child throwing stones.

If you're so capable, why don't you smash an active planet for a landing operation, or just use planet-destroying weapons to burn glass and throw rocks? It would be an embarrassment for the Star Train if word got out.

Fang Jie, who now considers himself too shameful, has stopped trying to catch stars and is instead continuing to mess with Dan Heng, planning to create a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex around Chi Ming someday.

Of course, mere steel is absolutely no match for the flesh and blood of the enlightened, so it is just a big toy.

Thinking about all this, Fang Jie did nothing, occasionally glancing at the train ahead, but mostly enjoying the peaceful day on the Starry Sky Train.

Xing might be feeling a bit bored, so she's going to find something to do.

But it's just right for the other side.

It wasn't until Uncle Yang came to relieve her that Fang Jie leisurely returned to the carriage. Raiden Mei was no longer as distant from the Starry Sky Train as before. Thanks to her actions as the restaurant's savior, she successfully integrated into everyone's group and became extremely popular.

The thing she's elegantly examining right now certainly isn't a recipe.

Indeed, no. Fang Jie secretly peeked over and saw that, along with the books placed on the table, they were all general knowledge books very suitable for beginners embarking on their journey through the galaxy.

The first recommendation is "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Stars".

A timeless and highly acclaimed adventure series that any living being can understand, spanning across realms.

Simply press the read button, and a captivating voice will recount the legendary adventures of renowned adventurers across different worlds, as well as the invaluable wisdom they gained on various planets, in language you can understand.

Secondly, "Adventure Record".

This well-bound adventure journal is clearly quite educational. It features rich illustrations and text describing the entire adventure, providing valuable information and survival tips.

The reason for not digitizing the data and putting it into the photolithography is that high technology is more vulnerable than people imagine when facing harsh environments such as stellar storms and neutron flow eruptions.

Therefore, the author of this book hopes that people will read it in the simplest way possible.

Finally, "Travel Insights"

This kind of log-style record of travel experiences can include works by authors like March, Star, and even Fang Jie. Whether it's useful or not is debatable, but its usefulness varies from person to person. Some people even hire fictitious historians at high prices to attack their own dark history, resulting in illegible handwriting and arbitrary content, which often doesn't offer much help to people.

I suggest you get rid of this pile of waste paper as soon as you've finished reading it.

Danheng, however, often doesn't deal with it, leaving it in the train think tank. And now, even Raiden Mei has dug it up.

Seeing his own works listed above, including a postscript about Berlöberg, Fang Jie felt an awkward sense of having his browsing history read by someone else.

He secretly hid it, both for himself and for Raiden Mei.

stare~

No longer a mere handkerchief, but youthful and beautiful, Raiden Mei blinked as she watched Fang Jie's furtive actions.

"What's wrong? Can't I look at this?"

"I'm more curious about where you found this. No, Danheng gave it to you directly, didn't he? How come such a reliable guy is so abstract? I went to dig up Himeko's dark history, but he didn't give it to me."

Because Himeko deleted the database.

Raiden Mei chuckled: "I find it very interesting, and what you told me... umm."

As the saying goes, any resemblance to actual persons or events is purely coincidental.

Clearly, Fang Jie wasn't that honest. Even though Jin Gang was there to expose him and reveal his secrets, he still went to great lengths to describe his alien past to Kiana and the others, using subtle and euphemistic language.

Now it is...

Fang Jie's eye twitched. He admitted that he was vain sometimes, and there was nothing wrong with that.

"What's wrong? Everything I told you is true."

Fang Jie sighed, slowly withdrew his peek from behind Raiden Mei, and plopped down on the sofa.

"You'll understand when you start writing your own exploration log. Often, when people copy each other's work and compare it to their own, it's inevitable that there will be some disagreements. It's about finding common ground while respecting differences."

“For example, Xing accused me of ‘stealing her center position.’ Does that make sense? She didn’t suffer any heartbreak from Cocolia, and I even saw her on my fate path.”

Looking back, there was no such thing as a protagonist gaining fame by associating with celebrities.

Fang Jie wasn't just taking advantage of her.

I haven't been getting any star glancing glances lately, because no one has been glancing at me.

Listening to his sophistry, Raiden Mei, who was originally studying the vast and boundless general knowledge of the galaxy on her own, couldn't help but smile slightly.

This feeling was quite nice; she regained some of the youthful feeling of being a student.

After rambling on like this, Fang Jie took out Xiao Sanyue's treasured milk tea to treat everyone, and they lived out Kiana's daily life in the observation car, just like in the afterlife.

Yes, Kiana is in the Land of the Dead, still elbowing Kevin.

"Thinking about it carefully, it's really amazing. I originally thought you would invite Kiana first, or even Bronya. Those two rivals are actually on good terms with you, so they should be on better terms than me, maybe only a little worse than Himeko-sensei."

Raiden Mei has become unusually aggressive, probably a natural consequence of reverting to her chuunibyou (delusional) tendencies.

"What words."
