Chapter 3: Meng Huaifeng’s Unlucky Travel Journey
Meng Huaifeng never imagined that one day something as good as the System would appear on him.
But since it really appeared, he definitely couldn’t miss it.
After some understanding, Meng Huaifeng learned that the System’s name was Infinite Travel System.
There were no messy functions like enhancement, exchange, lucky draw, sign-in, or the like.
There was only one function, which was to randomly travel to different worlds.
Unable to cheat recklessly, Meng Huaifeng was somewhat disappointed, yet also somewhat relieved.
Although cheating was easy, Meng Huaifeng always felt that power obtained so easily didn’t truly belong to him; the System could give it, and might easily take it back.
It was still better to take one step at a time, steadily becoming stronger bit by bit, which was more reassuring.
Fine, this was sour grapes.
According to the System, the worlds traveled to were random and uncontrollable, but he would definitely travel to not far from the protagonist, and come with a brief summary of that world.
Moreover, no matter how long he stayed in the traveled world, only one day would pass when returning to the previous world.
Meng Huaifeng didn’t hesitate due to the randomness of travel, nor did he rashly travel right away.
Instead, he bought a bulletproof vest, weapon, equipment, food, and water online, made full preparations, and then began his first travel.
Although he didn’t know what world he would travel to, since it was near the protagonist, it probably wouldn’t be too dangerous, right?
With the System in hand, he had to travel; if he didn’t, what difference would it make from not having the System?
Die early and reincarnate early; if not dead, live for ten thousand years!
Take a gamble, turn a bike into a motorcycle!
Travel!
Normally, such thinking was fine, but no one expected Meng Huaifeng’s first world to be the world of Honkai: Star Rail!
The time was even right before the Stellar Train was about to warp jump while charging through the star river!
In an instant, traveling to cosmic vacuum, Meng Huaifeng was completely dumbfounded!
What kind of stupid System is this?!
Why not throw him inside the Stellar Train? Although it wouldn’t be easy to explain how he got there, it was still better than being thrown into vacuum!
However, in vacuum, he couldn’t even speak, so he could only complain in his heart.
This was it, failure before success, dead before achieving anything.
Fortunately, the System seemed to know how much of a scam it was, so it still had plenty of life-saving measures.
After detecting that the host would GG in dozens of seconds, the System activated the emergency plan.
“Detected host is about to die, return to original world immediately?”
“Yes yes yes.” Meng Huaifeng hurriedly agreed in his heart.
“Anchoring original world coordinates, returning to original world in ten seconds.”
Ten seconds? He should be able to hold out.
Just as Meng Huaifeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking his life could be saved.
A train came roaring toward him, getting closer and closer!
Holy crap!
Could it be that he wouldn’t die from lack of oxygen in vacuum, but get hit and killed by the train instead?
What kind of bizarre way to die is this!
These words together were already ridiculous!
The train’s speed was too fast; Meng Huaifeng had no time to react.
Good thing the System reacted in time!
“Detected host is again about to die, stopping anchor to original world, traveling to random world immediately!”
Returning to original world required time to anchor world coordinates, but traveling to a random world didn’t; just open a wormhole and throw him in.
Perhaps the situation was too urgent, the System didn’t even have time to ask Meng Huaifeng for agreement, immediately opening a travel wormhole and throwing him in.
Good news: Meng Huaifeng successfully traveled again.
Bad news: The wormhole closed a bit slow, the train was too fast, and it came through together!
Death is still chasing me!
“Detected host is yet again about to die, activating invincible shield, duration five seconds!”
A golden light had just lit up on Meng Huaifeng when, like hitting a billiard ball, the train’s front ‘bang’ sent him flying!
“Consecutive two world travels and shield activation, System energy insufficient, about to enter hibernation, estimated hibernation time two years.”
“Why always getting hit by vehicles, why not just activate invincible shield directly?” Meng Huaifeng complained while flying through the air.
“Previously host was in universe, even with shield, after shield ends host would still face death threat. Per System calculation, probability of host being picked up by train crew before death after being knocked flying equals 0.” The System’s voice was flat.
There was no resistance in vacuum; if hit, he would keep flying until captured by planetary gravity, and in that case, the train crew really couldn’t find him.
Meng Huaifeng was speechless.
Five seconds passed; after landing, Meng Huaifeng rolled a few times due to inertia.
Even though the biggest wave of harm upon landing was absorbed by the invincible shield, this last bit of harm still made Meng Huaifeng pass out.
“System in hibernation, wish host a pleasant journey.”
The System’s voice completely fell silent.
Meng Huaifeng didn’t know how long he was unconscious; when he opened his eyes, what entered his view was a flawless, delicate face that could be broken by a blow.
Pink hair, tightly closed eyes, slightly puffed cheeks, that touch of blush even more beautiful than anything in the world.
I don’t know what happened, but if I don’t do something, I’ll regret it for life.
The girl’s delicate face slowly approached, her eyelashes trembling showing her owner’s nervousness.
If the green mountains don’t stay, I’ll stay for the green mountains.
Meng Huaifeng cooperatively lifted his head slightly.
“Hm?”
The girl suddenly opened her watery eyes, her pink pupils meeting Meng Huaifeng’s eyes.
“Click!”
The sound of taking a photo rang out, startling the girl whose mind was blank.
“Ah~! You you you… when did you wake up?” The girl screamed, hurriedly getting up and retreating a few steps, pointing at Meng Huaifeng and stammering.
“When you kissed me.”
Seeing the girl’s outfit clearly from afar, Meng Huaifeng recognized her at a glance.
Isn’t this March Wife?
The real person is even prettier than in the game!
“Who… who kissed you! I didn’t! I didn’t! Don’t talk nonsense! This lady was saving you! Giving you artificial respiration!” March 7th denied three times in a row.
“So that’s how it is.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Life-saving grace can’t be repaid; I am willing to marry you to repay your great kindness!”
“Mm… Huh? No! This is too hasty! This lady disagrees!” March 7th crossed her arms, full face of refusal.
“Why not be an ox or horse?” Xing blinked and asked.
“Because Benefactor is pretty.” Meng Huaifeng said honestly.
“Aiya! Don’t say it anymore!” March 7th’s little face was red enough to smoke: “Right, A Xing, did you take a photo just now? Hurry and delete it for this lady!”
“Can’t delete, already sent to the group chat.” A Xing shrugged.
March 7th felt her vision go black, sent to… the group chat…?
March 7th mechanically opened her mobile phone, tapped the group chat, and the train crew’s chat record came into view.
“Ah! So embarrassing I can’t face people! A Xing, this lady is fighting you!”
March 7th screamed, completely turning dark, a desperate charge tackling A Xing to the ground, small fists hammering like raindrops on A Xing’s chest.
A Xing didn’t yield, counterattacking decisively; the two immediately rolled into a ball on the grass.
