Chapter 164 Extra 4: Immortal Boat Luofu Line
The record became... a strange object.
Ren heard the few words coming from Silver Wolf on the other end of the network, opened his eyes, picked up the record that had become silent... No, strange thing, there was only emptiness.
The blade was not like this before. Hatred, regret, and pain burned from the spirit to the body, and there was a phantom pain left in the body when he picked up the [Fractured Sword].
But when he received the record, all the emotions that had been clamoring in his head settled down, and the crimson before his eyes and the sweet, fishy taste in his throat became soft and gentle...
...the record became...a strange object.
--what happened?
Ren's thin, scarred hand wrapped in bandages was holding the quiet record that didn't look like a strange object at all. At that moment, they both seemed to be lost in emptiness. Ren looked at it, and it looked at Ren.
Two bewildered, pitiful, wandering...homeless wanderers.
——Artifact Name: Endlessly Drifting Notes
——Description: If in the hands of a non-designated person [Star Core Hunter Blade], it will form silent materialized musical notes that drift radially around.
Effect 1: Its derivatives will resist the approach of all life and trigger a random teleportation effect. After the effect is triggered once, it will hide in another space for 2 interstellar times.
(Silver Wolf's note: This means freezing for two rounds.)
Effect 2: If in the hands of a designated person, the item will function normally and will be immune to all negative damage.
(Silver Wolf's comment: Wow, in Uncle Blade's hands, this could be considered a little magical tool!)
"Aren, are you okay?" Kafka asked.
I don’t know if this is a good thing. It can be effective in my hand without being put into the record player, and it doesn’t have the effect of the Demonic Yin Body... A surging, numb feeling of suffocation spread in my chest.
This body had no resistance to this feeling. Blade opened and closed his mouth several times, but only a hoarse sound came out of his throat, and his body trembled violently and uncontrollably.
For him, life was not good. Without the taste of fragmented and wandering memories, he could not receive the kindness of the world. He held this record, just to repeatedly grab the taste of tranquility and death from it.
When he realized the unpredictable changes that might occur in the child he had only met twice, the shadow that once shrouded him seemed to come back...
Gray, sticky, and crimson. There was no pain, only tinnitus and blurry blocks of color in front of the eyes.
—"Are you going to die?"
Ren repeated what the child said in his mind, and then the world returned to silence.
It doesn't matter. It's no big deal. For the past 700 years, he has been living in this muddled way.
The memory is fragmented, there is no past, no present, and no future.
He can't come back.
That child will never appear again.
Ren thought so, with an unknown emotion in his heart.
Maybe, that's a pity.
…
…
I don’t know how much time has passed. Ren has no concept of time. His life is a mess, but it seems like he just fell asleep on a pile of bricks and rubble.
"Why are you sleeping outside again?"
The child's surprised tone made people feel that what he meant was "See you again."
Ren opened his eyes and looked in his direction, not saying a word for a long time. The wind brought a faint, cool breeze. When he opened his eyes, he was right in front of him; when he closed his eyes, he could not feel his presence.
Ren had no doubts because he never dreamed.
Even if it was an illusion, it wouldn't be so gentle and harmless.
So, he slowly said: "You... tell me, your name..."
The child slowly opened his eyes, and his flexible tail stopped moving. It seemed that he realized that he had not told him his name.
In fact, Ren had heard Silver Wolf mention his name, but at that time he said nothing and did nothing, and those words were lost in the wind as always.
Blade only caught a few words and let the wind carry away the information from Silver Wolf's mouth like dust.
But now, Blade wanted to know his name.
"My name is Chong." The child took a deep breath and answered slowly. After a while, his voice became lively again. "Now we can go play together!"
"Whatever you do, I'll follow. You have to take me with you, Blade."
"Hmm..." Perhaps feeling that something was a little wrong, A Chong thought about it and added a sentence, or rather a suggestion.
——"I'm awesome now, do you want to go home and sleep?"
Ren's memory of what happened afterwards was a little vague, the only thing he decided to do was to take the child home.
This statement may not be very rigorous.
But after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong. He could take Chong home now and take care of him; when everything was over, Chong would take him home.
So, there is nothing wrong with it.
…
Ren had never raised a child, let alone a Star God. But he got the hang of it quickly. Ren vaguely remembered that when he was Ying Xing, he was very smart.
He was sure that he had never had such an experience before. Simply speaking from his personality, if it weren't for A Chong, neither Ying Xing nor Ren would have gained this experience.
It's best to clean a fox child in the afternoon, and the hair must be dried as soon as possible after washing. Afterwards, use plant essential oils to condition the ears and tail, and don't forget to use this on the ears of a fox with all-velvet fur.
Before using this experience, Blade took a detour because of the experience he learned from Silver Wolf and Kafka.
It is generally believed in the interstellar world that fox people's hair care is mostly done before going to bed. After applying ointment, it is best to wrap it with [Suyunsha].
But A Chong was not very restful when sleeping at night. Except for listening to stories, it was common for him to sleep from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed. Sometimes he would lie on the quilt upside down at the edge of the bed with only one foot on the bed.
So, unlike most people who take a shower before going to bed or in the morning, Chong has to schedule it in the afternoon.
Wherever the sun shines, he will sleep soundly and obediently.
Ren looked at him, closed his eyes involuntarily, and fell asleep.

——
The preservation order makes the management of the company very loose. At least the gold sand will not be downgraded by the "Ten Stone Hearts" because it does not follow the normal commodity trading process.
The gold dust will not leave [Interstellar Peace Corporation].
Rationally speaking, here lie all his interests, his work, and his life;
Emotionally, he liked the feeling of risking everything. Besides, Jade, who was also one of the "Ten Stone Hearts", had invested in him before and was indebted to him.
From the first moment he saw the child A Chong, Sha Jin had a feeling that in this world, even if one has the luck given by the Mother Goddess, there must be a failure.
Then, I will definitely lose to him.
A young, pure and beautiful messenger.
...A Chong's behavior was equally pure and beautiful, and Sha Jin wasn't surprised. Perhaps when he was being held back, he felt a little relieved.
This child who might cause you to lose is unlikely to become your enemy.
Sha Jin jokingly thanked his own appearance, his own dressing sense, and his decision not to wear the company uniform that day.
——"But teacher, there is a heart-shaped opening on his chest!"
The child said this calmly and at a normal volume so that anyone around him could hear it.
Of course, that includes Sha Jin himself.
With such a beginning, it was impossible for anyone to believe that the friendship that followed would be serious and sincere, right? In short, that was how Shajin guessed.
It's okay if he's just a passerby on both sides. If he can gain some benefits from it, it can be considered his own ability...
...But that child is really strange. Just like Sha Jin never took the other party's initial words of affection seriously, the other party never took his temptations and flattery seriously.
So Sha Jin only told him a little bit that the two of them had never been on the same page.
If you have never been on the same path as others, then opening yourself up to such terrible tolerance is not a good thing.
There comes a time when a gambler crosses the line of reason and tries to play with the feelings of a child.
He is just a businessman, and also a commodity in a dangerous position, so if the interests are sufficient and the emotions of both parties are not equal, this situation will indeed occur.
However, when the other party really offered benefits that were enough to make the gambler transcend his reason, Sha Jin tried his best to restrain himself and control himself to refuse the other party.
But my emotions madly instigated me to make a gamble.
The child believes that he is an equal to a guardian angel and, on the principle of equivalent exchange, believes that this is worth it.
Just as Sha Jin often couldn't see through A Chong's intentions, he didn't understand whether this was an obsession with interesting products or a sincere attitude towards friends?
This is the last time...
My friend.
Gold Dust said to himself.
…
He won all the time.
But soon, he lost him.
Is this also brought about by "good luck"?
At this time, Sha Jin once again recalled the beginning:
——"There's a heart-shaped opening on his chest!"
Yes, there is an opening there.
…
…
For two years, apart from Xianzhou, the company has not been able to find any trace of this mysterious new star god.
When Sha Jin saw the familiar person at the company, he doubted the truth of the rumor that Ah Chong had become a Star God, until the child came to him with a pout and complained:
"Shajin, it was so hard for me to get out of [Xingshen Full-time Technical College]!"
"You don't even know that Klipper didn't help me~"
Ah Chong was embarrassed, with an air of dissatisfaction about him.
It wasn't until her hand involuntarily rubbed his head that a smile suddenly blossomed on Shajin's face. "If the Amber King won't help you, then you can get back at the company."
"I'll help you."
A wonderful ripple appeared in his gorgeous eyes.
——
A Chong really became a Star God. In practical terms, Sha Jin’s capital became even greater, but he did not want to convert this into capital.
He is still a child.
A child who was lost in the sea of stars for two years and could never grow up.
If Ah Chong didn't want to be a Star God and didn't want to grow up, it was just a small request, and as a friend, Shajin was happy to satisfy him.
The only thing was that this child had returned from the Star Core Hunters. To explain this, it could be said that Ah Chong had been with the Star Core Hunters for the previous two years.
A little cumbersome, but solvable.
but--
"Compared to me... and the professor, which one of the Star Core Hunters do you like better?"
Gold Dust smiled.
Hearing this, Ah Chong's face wrinkled up, with a look of "Why do you ask such a question?" written all over his face.
After a while, he seemed to have finally come up with a plan. He patted Shajin's chest with a serious look on his face and said, "I want to come back and get down from the Star God. It's not just because of Ren, but because of many people who are important to me."
"Of course, it's also because of you."
"Because of me what?"
"Well... because—"
This question left A Chong stumped, but he quickly found some useful words the professor had said.
"I won't let you lose."
Shajin looked at Ah Chong thoughtfully, and it was hard to tell what expression he had. "My dear friend, you really have a talent for sweet talk."
Obviously, Shajin also knew A Chong's habits, and he also knew the source of this sentence.
The original words were: "My stupid student made you win the bet again."
