Chapter 155 - 154: Perfect Utilization of Heliobus! The Future of Xianzhou Will Still Face Great Challenges!

Inside the villa. Looking at the rows of mostly useless items in the system Store, Lin Yu couldn't help but shake his head. "Why hasn't anything good appeared in the store recently?" "It seems... I'll have to go out for a walk to change my luck." He called out to Sparkle, who was watching a livestream over there: "Hey, little Sparkle, I'm heading out. Keep an eye on the house." Sparkle pouted and complained, "Why are you calling me? It's not like I can move around freely here, you stinky man..." However, when Lin Yu walked over. Sparkle immediately changed her expression. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Where are you going to fool around so late?" "Come back early, or I won't leave the door open for you!" "Ouch~" Lin Yu flicked Sparkle's forehead with a light tap. Then he left directly. In an instant. He knew which familiar faces had arrived in his territory—Aurum Alley. "Bailu actually went to a shady gaming parlor to play games? Haha, she seems quite engrossed. I won't disturb her." "Hmm? Huohuo is here alone...?" "Watching a livestream?" "Let's go say hello." With a thought. Lin Yu teleported to the courtyard where Huohuo was. To avoid startling her, Lin Yu deliberately approached from behind the bamboo grove, giving her a bit of a heads-up. Huohuo was a little nervous. She held up a flashlight and shone it forward. "Um..." "Who... who's there?" Lin Yu pushed aside the bamboo blocking his path, revealing his face. Pretending it was a coincidence to see her here. He spoke up: "Huohuo?" Seeing Lin Yu speak, Huohuo let out a sigh of relief. "Big brother, you... know me?" Lin Yu pointed at the livestream interface in front of her. "Oh~" Huohuo's face lit up with realization. "Well... I'm a bit embarrassed." "Even though I'm a judge, I'm... so useless. I even cried in the game because of the Heliobus." "I don't know why Yu Ling turned my experiences into a storyline." "I'm so weak, nowhere near as capable as Lady Hanya or Lady Xueyi..." "Yu Ling might as well have made me a three-star character, so people wouldn't have to pull for me..." Lin Yu smiled faintly: "I think Yu Ling must have had a deeper meaning in doing this." Tail immediately whispered in Huohuo's ear: "What's the point of telling this guy all this?" "He might just be here to mock you!" "Forget it, I'll have to step in myself." "Tail... don't!" Huohuo tried to stop him, but it was too late. Tail transformed into a wolf-like figure made of spiritual flames and growled at Lin Yu in a low voice: "Kid! This isn't a place for the living." "If you've got nothing important to do, get out of here!" "I'm way more ferocious than in that game!" "I really do eat people!" Lin Yu extended a finger. And flicked it lightly forward. Tail was instantly forced back into its original form, a small ball of Heliobus flames. Tail's eyes widened in shock. It seemed unable to process what had just happened. The next second. It was sealed back up. Returning to Huohuo's burning tail. "Huh? Tail?!" Huohuo was stunned. It was the first time she'd seen Tail get shut down so quickly. "It's fine, I just wanted to calm it down a bit." After saying that. He pinched Huohuo's cheek as she looked at him with teary eyes. "Don't overthink it." "I believe... that being in this game and becoming a playable character." "Means you must have something unique about you." "You may seem fragile on the outside, but you're strong inside." "Even though you're scared of certain things, you've always tried your best and never faltered when it mattered." Tail grumbled inwardly: "That's only because I'm here!" Unfortunately, it couldn't make a sound right now. Huohuo's eyes welled up with tears. She didn't know why this person understood her so well. Every word he said seemed to strike a chord in her heart. He felt like a gentle and patient older brother. "Thank you, big brother..." "Can you tell Huohuo your name...?" "Lin Yu." "Here, let me treat you to a cup of Immortal's Delight." Lin Yu raised his hand slightly. A standard cup of Immortal's Delight appeared on the table. Huohuo was somewhat surprised. She cautiously took a sip. Her eyes instantly narrowed into crescent moons. "Ah... it's delicious!" It was as if all her previous fears and worries had been swept away. "Feel free to enjoy the story tonight; no monsters or ghosts will cause any trouble." "Hmm..." Huohuo nodded. She felt that Lin Yu's words were like a decree, ensuring that nothing unexpected would happen. "Big brother, could you stay with Huohuo a little longer..." Huohuo was startled. When she turned her head, she realized the person beside her had disappeared without her noticing. But she wasn't afraid. Instead, she silently engraved that name in her heart. "Lin Yu..." At that moment. Tail also regained a bit of freedom. It popped out from beside Huohuo. Its eyes were wide open. "What's that guy's deal?" "Even I can't see through him?" Huohuo took a sip of tea and said, "I think he's a good person..." "Hmph, whatever you say." "By the way... is this Immortal's Delight really that good?" "Once I'm unsealed, I'll definitely possess someone and go buy a cup to try it!" ... Back at the villa. Refreshing the Store. "It really works..." A purple epic-level item appeared in the product list. [Heliobus Perfect Utilization Device: Can seal Heliobus-type creatures within it for perfect utilization.] [Recommended usage methods: 1. Imbue weapons with spirit: For example, forge a spirit blade that automatically protects its master, grant weapons a [weapon spirit], or allow weapons to develop self-awareness.] [2. Convert Heliobus into pure and harmless energy: For example, use it for interstellar travel, celestial realm construction, or combat.] [3. Attach emotional experiences to food: For example, produce bread that enhances memory for a short time after eating, or wine that makes people feel excited and stimulated...] [Price: 20 billion points] Lin Yu bought it without hesitation. Points weren't an issue now; what he lacked were useful items. After reading the item's instructions. Lin Yu muttered thoughtfully, "This item is quite comprehensive. The only downside is that it consumes a lot of Heliobus, so I'll need to go out and capture them." "In this converter, the amount of energy controlled is directly related to the strength of the individual Heliobus..." "If an ordinary Heliobus is like a battery, then a powerful individual like the Flint Emperor would be equivalent to a nuclear power plant!" At this thought. Lin Yu's eyes lit up slightly. "I know who to put in there..." ... Alchemy Commission. Jing Yuan, who was taking a nap, suddenly realized he had fallen into a Dreamscape. A figure appeared before him. "It's you..." "Yu Ling?" "Indeed, it's me..." Lin Yu nodded. "It's an honor to meet you, General Jing Yuan..." Lin Yu smiled, "No need for formalities. I know the General is troubled by how to deal with Phantylia." "And I can help you with that." "Hand Phantylia over to me, and I can guarantee she will never escape." Jing Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Lord Yu Ling, are you also interested in Phantylia?" "Correct, she holds some value for me." Jing Yuan smiled casually, "Since it is an item specifically requested by Lord Yu Ling, I naturally should hand it over with both hands." "The great victory that Luofu has achieved is undoubtedly thanks to the Star Rail." "How should I transfer the container sealing Phantylia to you?" "I will have my attendant go to the Alchemy Commission. General Jing Yuan, you only need to wait where you are." "Alright." Jing Yuan's heart stirred slightly. Although it wasn't Lin Yu himself who came, this time he had the opportunity to meet his attendant. For Luofu, and even for Xianzhou... this was an extremely important step. At this moment, Yu Ling spoke again, "Of course, I won't take it for free." "This is a glimpse of the future plot related to Xianzhou." "I'll reveal it to you in advance." Future plot? Related to Xianzhou! Jing Yuan's gaze immediately sharpened. He knew, This was far more important than any other reward! Yu Ling was actually willing to reveal the future plot! This was definitely worth it! Looking at the scene in the mist. Jing Yuan was stunned! In the scene. The Divine Lord stood between heaven and earth. A green dragon coiled around the Divine Lord. Two figures floating in the air both assumed attacking stances. And these two people... Were none other than Dan Heng and himself! What shocked him even more was. In the sky behind them, there were rows upon rows of neatly arranged Xianzhou starships! "This is...!" Yu Ling replied, "That's right, it's a plot that will happen in Penacony in the future..." Jing Yuan suddenly woke up. The final scene of the dream and Yu Ling's voice seemed to linger around him! "Penacony..." Jing Yuan knew that this was the next stop the Astral Express was heading to. He originally thought that the plot after that would have nothing to do with Xianzhou. But now it seems. He was wrong! Dead wrong! Not only was it related to Xianzhou, but he would personally lead the Cloud Knights to Penacony to assist! Penacony, Was bound to witness a major event that would shock the universe! This information, Was too important! "Thank you, Yu Ling." Jing Yuan's gaze turned serious, then resolute. Through Yu Ling's "special care" this time. He now knew. That Xianzhou Luofu would face enormous challenges in the future! Even. Jing Yuan now had a feeling. That the real purpose of Yu Ling meeting him in the dream was to reveal this message! The talk about Phantylia was just secondary! He must quickly deal with the affairs on Xianzhou. "The combat power of Jingliu and Blade is also important..." "If possible, before the future challenges arrive, I need to make them believe in the current Luofu as much as possible." "Not to recreate the glory of the High-Cloud Quintet, but just to have them provide some assistance at critical moments..." "Just like dealing with Phantylia this time." "From now on, Luofu will be fully prepared for the upcoming challenges!"
