"And what AC meant was that they bet that the plot wouldn't explode again after the end of the Xianzhou arc, and then steal the traffic from the next arc?"
"Man, is this true? You're going to use this to play against Penacony? To play against Sunday and Aventurine?"
Xia Wen scratched his head, confused whether to laugh or cry on behalf of AC.
------------------------
Never mind.
It has nothing to do with him, now is not the time for that.
He lowered his head swiping his phone.
The Xianzhou episode was about to be broadcasted.
He was paying attention to the comments online.
...
: Nervous! Looking forward to it. After watching a bunch of PVs about Xianzhou, I feel like I have a high expectation for Xianzhou.
: That's right, following the Astral Express is like roaming in search of new places.
: I don't know how Jingyuan is doing now, and where Jingliu went.
: When I think of High-Cloud Quintet, my heart aches. I hope everything is fine in Luofu!
: I don't know what happened to Dan Feng either, and Dan Heng from the express crew seems to be a member of Xianzhou as well.
: I don't know what kind of things the express crew will encounter this time.
: Yingxing, Jingyuan, Jingliu, Dan Feng, the four of you should live well! MiHoYo, stop stabbing me.
...
After the PV, the audience is now a little familiar with the Xianzhou Luofu.
They are also looking forward to seeing the High-Cloud Quintet afterword or something similar to that.
After all, according to the timeline of the Astral Express, it is already hundreds of years later.
The appearance of the Luofu brings a sense of anticipation to the audience.
Seeing the comments Xia Wen's mouth curled up.
At this moment, everyone finished their work one after another and came to the screening room.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him.
It was Kafka.
"I bought it for you. It tastes good." Kafka came over with two cups of milk tea, smiling.
One cup was strawberry flavor, and one cup was sweet orange. The strawberry flavor already had a straw inserted.
"Is it sweet?" Xia Wen smiled and reached out to take the sweet orange milk tea.
But Kafka handed him the strawberry-flavored one.
"I want to taste it, so I took a sip first. This cup is yours." Kafka shook the sweet orange milk tea in her hand, then bent over and took another sip of the milk tea in Xia Wen's hand.
While tasting it, she said gently: "Don't worry, it's very sweet."
After saying that, she winked at Xia Wen and turned to find Black Swan.
Xia Wen, holding the milk tea that was already one-third gone, looked at the red lipstick mark on the straw, shook his head, and began to drink.
However, it was indeed quite sweet.
...
On the screen, Mihoyo's logo appeared.
Millions of viewers flocked to the official website.
The main drama of the Xianzhou was about to begin.
In the picture, the Astral Express after leaving Jarilo-VI was getting ready to make a space warp.
Everyone returned to their rooms.
As the express entered the vast cosmos, the scene changed.
In Luofu, in the prison, a group of Cloud Knights were escorting Blade.
At the end, Jing Yuan was standing there, and next to him was Yanqing, who was not very familiar to the audience.
...
: Woo, Jing Yuan! Jing Yuan! You finally showed up. It's been hundreds of years. Are you okay?
: When the two met, why did they look so tense? There was no sign of Yingxing on Blade at all.
: My heart is broken, my family, the opening of Luofu broke my heart.
: And how did Blade get caught?
...
The comments were all over the place. The meeting between Jing Yuan and Blade was tense, which broke the audience's defense.
After all, the story of the High-Cloud Quintet was just broadcast yesterday.
In the picture, facing Jing Yuan and Yanqing, Blade said with a grim smile:
"Of Five People, Three must pay a price, and you Jing Yuan are not one of them."
The scene changes again.
Suddenly the scene shifts to Blade holding a broken sword and looking at the camera with murderous intent.
"Of Five People, Three must pay a price..."
" And You are one of them!"
In the astral express, Dan Heng suddenly opened his eyes.
His forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He was panting and still in shock.
…
: Huh? Wait, how is Dan Heng related to Blade.
: Dan Heng can't be Dan Feng!? Damn, no way, man, where is your character?
: Maybe, brother? No, wait, my brain is overloaded.
: Even if Dan Feng died, he should still be Dan Heng after his reincarnation. If it is the same person, how could Dan Heng get on the train.
: It seems that a lot of things that we don't know about must have happened in these hundreds of years! Damn! Hurry up! MiHoYo!
...
The audience was excited.
Many people had speculated before that Dan Heng and Dan Feng were the same person.
It's just that now, with the appearance of Blade in Dan Feng's dream, this idea has become more certain.
But many details don't fit in.
When the audience thought of the stories that have not appeared in Myriad Celestia Trailer in the past few hundred years, their expectations were directly raised.
...
The short story ends.
Except for Dan Heng, the rest of the express crew gathered in the train to discuss the next destination.
At this moment, a holographic projection appeared.
Although the visitor was holding an umbrella, her clothes were easily recognizable. Kafka!
As soon as Kafka appeared, the audience began to go crazy and comments once again filled the screen.
As the owner of the current highest-viewed PV, although Kafka has not appeared many times, her popularity is quite strong.
With the appearance of Kafka, everyone in the Astral Express became alert.
From the words of Himeko and Kafka, the audience also learned more news.
For example, the Stellaron Hunters are lead by Elio and has been chasing after Stellarons and creating chaos everywhere and were wanted criminals with a huge bounty by the IPC.
And Elio's ability to predict the future.
Important information makes the audience's speculation about the plot suddenly become more complicated.
In the picture, after a verbal confrontation, Kafka knocked on the table in front of her with her hands while stating her purpose.
"I want to ask you... To change your destination."
A Stellaron Hunter asked the Nameless to change the course of the express.
Welt pushed his glasses, and the meaning of rejection was obvious.
"Everyone, have you heard of Luofu?" Kafka said with a mysterious smile
"Of course, we know that it is one of the six giant ships of the Xianzhou Alliance." Welt replied calmly.
"But what you don't know is that Luofu is very close to you now, and forty-five system hours ago, a stellaron exploded on the Luofu." Kafka explained.
The holographic projection of the blade appeared. "My companion, Blade, was taken away by the Cloud Knights. I want to bring him back to resolve this stellaron crisis and clear our suspicion."
Looking at Blade, March 7th hummed and said "It has nothing to do with you, who would believe it? Besides, Xianzhou Alliance is so powerful, how can it be destroyed by a stellaron."
Kafka was not surprised.
Instead, she responded with a smile. "You can stay out of it this time, but in time, the express's track will be blocked again."
"I can tell you the future of Luofu: if you don't go, the stellaron will eventually contaminate the entire Luofu, and half the population on the Luofu will die..."
After informing the express crew of the important information, Kafka left.
While the express crew was discussing, the audience went wild.
...
: Stellaron? Destroying half of Luofu? Impossible, damn, the Xianzhou has seen all kinds of storms along the way.
: At present, the catastrophe caused by the stellaron does not seem to be a big deal for powerful forces. Is Kafka telling the truth or not?
: I can't say. I'm afraid that if I say no, MiHoYo will come up and stab me. The wound I got stabbed yesterday is still painful.
: No matter, let's stack armor first and wait and see.
: The Luofu has experienced all kinds of storms along the way. Play with this stellaron!
...
Audiences have a full sense of confidence for Luofu.
Seeing Kafka's words now, most people think it is a bit alarmist.
After all, a stellaron causing half the population to be killed is ridiculous.
With Kafka's intervention, the route of the Astral Express was quickly decided.
The nameless would not sit idly by after knowing about the Stellaron.
During this period, through the conversation between March 7th and Dan Heng, the audience was certain that Dan Heng was definitely inseparable from the story of the Xianzhou.
Everyone continued to watch while looking forward to it.
After deciding to go to Luofu, the express crew became a team comp of Stelle, Welt and March 7th for this trip.
The express began to warp, and the express disappeared from its initial location in the blink of an eye.
When it reappeared, the express had arrived in front of a planet sized ship.
In front of the Luofu, Himeko tried to contact the Xianzhou to let them in.
The strange thing is that although no one answered in the communication channel, the gate was opened.
After discussion, the express crew still thought it would be better to go down and find out.
Not long after, the trio entered the Xianzhou through the opened gate.
What came into view was the magnificent cargo port.
The mountains of containers were piled up together, blocking out the sun.
The automated machinery was working tirelessly among them.
The cargo shuttle and the dozens of meters long cargo conveyor belt.
In just a few short scenes, a strong Sci-Fi style came over.
"So many containers. This is the cargo port, right? Who led us here?"
March 7th was shocked and complained resentfully.
Welt was experienced and did not panic. Instead, he led everyone to find a way through this huge maze. Along the way, scattered and fallen cloud knights could be seen everywhere...
But most of them were seriously injured and unconscious.
The audience, who were already worried, tensed up even more.
After searching for a long time, they finally found an open area.
The train crew saw a group of cloud knights and soldiers with branches growing all over their bodies and who had become mara-struck fighting each other.
There were also cute characters who were protected among them.
Furry ears, fluffy fox tails.
The beautiful and elegant dresses on their body.
In an instant, the audience was crazy about barrages.
Tingyun's first appearance left a deep impression on everyone.
In Tingyun's smooth and versatile words, the train crew not only helped Tingyun solve these mara-struck soldiers, but also immediately established a good relationship with Tingyun.
After all, Tingyun had a crisp voice and a naturally pleasing face.
No matter how the audience looked at it, Tingyun seemed to be a good person who was kind to others and valued peace.
With Tingyun's introduction, everyone easily entered the core area of Luofu.
The chat along the way also explained the current situation of Luofu.
Because the stellaron entered Luofu and the seal of Ambrosial Arbor loosened, a small-scale mara-struck incident occurred.
It was not a big mess.
At the same time, tens of millions of viewers around the world finally felt relieved about the Xianzhou.
After entering the Luofu, Tingyun brought everyone to the Palace of Astrum, and met with the Yukong, the seasoned and authoritative Helm Master of the Xianzhou Alliance's Sky-Faring Commission and one of the Xianzhou Luofu's Six Charioteers.
In the Palace of Astrum, there were screens and potted plants formed by light curtains and projections, as well as various decorations and equipment combining classical and science fiction.
However, in such a beautiful scenery, the negotiations between the express crew and Yukong were not very pleasant.
As the helmsman, Yukong could not trust these people at all, regardless of who the other party was or what their identity was.
Anything related to the crisis of the Xianzhou can only be handled by the people of the Xianzhou themselves.
Thousands of years of history have already taught Yukong this.
Seeing that the negotiations were deadlocked, just as the trio was about to leave, a lazy voice rang out.
"Yukong, don't be so fierce. If this gets out, won't everyone in the universe laugh at the Xianzhou Alliance for not knowing how to entertain guests?"
With the voice, Jing Yuan's holographic projection appeared.
"How could the Astral Express form an alliance with the Stellaron Hunters? They are mortal enemies."
"Sorry to interrupt your meeting, I am General Jing Yuan of Luofu Cloud Knights."
Jing Yuan's appearance and words, the smile on his face and the calmness he exuded.
At this moment, many people suddenly felt sad and tearful.
They watched quietly.
Facing the current situation that seemed to be difficult to negotiate, Jing Yuan said calmly with a smile:
"Sorry, friends from the astral express, there is indeed a stellaron on Luofu, but I must reject your kindness: this is a problem of the Luofu, and it can only be solved by ourselves."
"But since we are here, how can I let you go back empty-handed! I cannot accept your help with the stellaron, but I do have another matter that I must ask of your help."
With Jing Yuan's arrival, the originally tense atmosphere turned calm.
Under the leadership of the general, in a remote place, another matter was also entrusted to express trio by Jing Yuan.
"I have heard of the Astral Express for a long time and have always been fascinated by it. I am so lucky to see its members today!"
"To be honest, a few days ago, we captured a wanted criminal of the Xianzhou Luofu, Stellaron Hunter- Blade."
"It turned out that the Divination Commission had intercepted information about another member, Kafka, which showed that Kafka and the Astral Express must have come in contact."
Jing Yuan said, smiling even more.
"But as I said it is impossible. The Astral Express is upright and has a reputation for bravery. How can it be in the same boat with the scoundrels?"
"This must be a conspiracy of the Stellaron Hunters."
"Therefore, I took the initiative to take advantage of the situation. As the general, I grant you the right to act according to your own discretion, lure out Kafka, who is also on the Luofu, and try capture her."
The comments section once again exploded.
...
: I feel sorry for Jing Yuan, he can actually speak so well, he must have experienced a lot in these hundreds of years.
: The rhetoric is so wonderful, this is a wise general! A strategic general! In just a few words, he shifted the original contradiction without leaving a trace, and also gave the Astral Express a high position!
: He is so good at speaking! Just changed the way of saying it, and the purpose was achieved!
: It not only prevented the internal affairs of the stellaron from being interfered with by others, but also let the two forces that were originally suspected of being allies stare at each other!
: If I had Jing Yuan's ability to speak, I would be a senior executive in my company now.
