Star Domain Network.
After Tiejian told Chen An about his experience, Chen An asked him, "Since you saw through it a long time ago, why didn't you break the deadlock in advance? Aren't you afraid that she might have some follow-up tricks?"
"I wanted to get more information, but that woman refused to reveal who was behind it. You'd better be careful, she might target you too," Tielan said.
Chen An briefly recounted his experience, only to be ridiculed by Tiejian.
"Emotions are useless. Only ruthlessness can take you further. If you trust me, go and kill everyone around you. I guarantee you'll be invincible."
If they met in real life, Chen An would definitely give him an awesome award.
"Everyone does things differently, and their paths are different. You're not necessarily right, and I'm not necessarily wrong."
Tiejian: "How about we make a bet?"
"What's the bet?"
"I am ruthless, you are compassionate. Let's see who is stronger when the train arrives at the final stop."
Chen An asked, "Where's the bet?"
"The loser completely obeys the winner and allows him to drive him around."
"Okay." Chen An didn't think he would lose.
After hearing this, Tiejian laughed evilly and said, "I have no worries. I will definitely defeat you. Then you can kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Before the call was disconnected, Chen An asked, "Did you really kill your relatives?"
Tiejian was silent for a long time before replying, "To survive, you can do whatever it takes. I have a message for you: only by living can you have a future."
The last sentence was spoken in Purple Star Language. Chen An was surprised: "Where did you speak Purple Star Language? Your butt? No, you don't seem to have such an organ."
The call was disconnected and there was no response from the other end.
Chen An smiled faintly: "Everyone has their own way of survival, and they definitely can't be copied. I wish you good luck!"
The scene in the dream was too real, and Chen An often thought about it.
When he was feeling upset, he found Zishu, who had just returned to the train to rest, and asked her to accompany him for a walk outside.
Zi Shu had been commanding the fleet for more than twenty hours and was exhausted.
But seeing Chen An's complicated emotions, she took some potion to restore her spirits and followed.
Three months ago, Chen An provided Zishu with a lot of corpses of evil eye leaders, helping her to successfully break through the Star Walker.
The two went out from the observation deck and flew to the top of the train.
The symphony of war sounded in my ears, and from time to time, evil-eyed corpses fell in front of me and were picked up by patrolling spaceships.
"Are you still getting used to it?"
Chen An looked at her in a flash. Her face was weathered and had the mature charm of an older woman.
The two Zishu are very different.
The Zishu in front of me has a stubborn style, her eyes are always shining, and she will never show any signs of giving in.
Zishu, played by Youni, catered to him too much, which made Chen An uncomfortable most of the time, accumulating the prerequisites for his final awakening.
Hearing Chen An's concern, Zi Shu's tiredness mostly disappeared, and she replied, "It's okay. Although it's tiring, I like it. There's only one problem. I can't command the fleet to attack. It's very frustrating to be on the defensive. Is something wrong with you?"
Chen An shook his head: "I didn't get into trouble, but the conductor almost got into trouble."
"What happened to him?"
Chen An smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, I just almost made a fool of myself. Do you remember the past?"
"You mean Purple Star? I definitely can't forget it. After all, I spent most of my life there. If that hadn't happened, our children would have grown up."
Chen An rolled his eyes at her.
"I didn't necessarily marry you then."
"How dare you not marry me? Believe it or not, I've been harassing you all along? And with your professional prospects, who else would want you but me?"
Chen An's mood became more relaxed. He sat on the edge of the train and secretly told Qianqiu not to make a fuss and to continue to maintain her state.
"It doesn't matter if I'm not very professional. Just looking at my face, even celebrities can't control themselves."
Zishu sat next to him and kept refuting Chen An's boasting. After a while, he even started fighting.
"Don't do it, you can't beat me." Chen An warned with a smile.
"With your small body back then, I could beat two of you."
"You've already said that. Things are different now."
Chen An grabbed Zishu's arm with one hand, making her unable to move and forcing her to admit defeat.
While they were playing, Chen An's watch suddenly received a call from Yang Yuan.
"Old Chen, what are you doing?"
"I'm doing something important, don't disturb me."
"Is flirting with Sister Shu a serious matter?"
Chen An slid his watch to locate Yang Yuan's position.
It turned out that his warship was right below, near the storage layer, and Chen An could see it just by lowering his head.
"You haven't broken through yet?" Chen An asked.
Yang Yuan shouted, "Do you think you can break through just by drinking water? It's too difficult for me to break through with my poor talent. I need to accumulate the corpses of the Evil Eye Commanders. Lao Chen, do you have a way to get a lower price? The corpses sold on the train are too expensive. Do you think the boss is crazy, asking us to help collect the corpses and then sell them back to us?"
Chen An smiled and said, "Do you want to say something bad about the boss? Just say it, I won't tell him."
"I'm just kidding, how could I say anything bad? The boss is a genius, and this business deal is done perfectly. Besides, we're not working for nothing, we get a reward for every corpse we collect. Is Sister Shu here? I suggest you whisper something in Old Chen's ear. It won't be a big deal to give me a few more commander corpses."
Zi Shu spoke to Chen An's watch: "Don't even think about it, just lead the team well. When the time is right, I will transfer the position of president to you."
"Oh, don't. You are the guild's living signboard. If you leave, most of them will probably leave. Lao Chen, control your woman. She is too willful."
Chen An hung up the phone, and Zishu couldn't stop laughing.
"Are you feeling better?" Zishu asked.
"I'm not in a bad mood, actually. I'm just feeling a bit emotionally drained. A friend of mine once told me that ruthlessness is the key to strength, but my intuition tells me that's not right, yet it somehow makes sense."
Zi Shu shouted, "That makes no sense. Let me ask you, how is your friend doing?"
"He should be doing well! But given his personality, people around him must be very reserved. No one except me would dare to talk to him."
"Isn't that right? Even if ruthlessness can make people strong, it can also make them lonely, crazy, and even mentally broken. Humans are social animals. They need recognition, care, and faith. I guess your friend lacks faith. Wait, how could someone like him make a friend like you? I think I've discovered something."
Zishu looked suspicious.
Chen An explained, "We can't really be considered friends, we're just familiar with each other. That's all, let's just leave it at that. Go back to the carriage and rest. According to the rotation, your next mission will be in two days."
On the way back, Chen An received an urgent reminder from Fu Yao.
[The density of the Evil Eye Commanders suddenly increased, and the war became abnormal.]
Chen An quickly returned to the cockpit and called up analytical data from all aspects.
It turned out that the number of evil eye leaders in the headspace had nearly doubled in the previous ten minutes, and that was not the end.
"Keep observing, something's not right."
