Chapter 72: The Location Of The Stellar Core Is
Meng Huaifeng looked at Stelle strangely: “Is it possible that you’re the one who doesn’t fit in with the other Stellar Cores? In the eyes of the other Stellar Cores, you’re the one bringing shame to Stellar Cores.”
“Absolutely impossible!” Stelle said firmly.
“Let’s go, the Stellar Core is in the Snowy Plains outside the city…” Meng Huaifeng suddenly shut his mouth, his face turning extremely ugly.
If he remembered correctly, in the game of the Original World, the Stellar Core was somewhere in the Everfrost Land, but the answer from the Art of Heavenly Inquiry was the Snowy Plains outside the city.
Did the search go wrong, or is this reality different from the game?
Which one is correct?
“Why did you only say half? Where in the Snowy Plains outside the city?” March 7th asked strangely.
“Wait, something’s off.” Meng Huaifeng said with a serious expression.
He took out his mobile phone to check all the Stellar Core-related information from the search: the Stellar Core’s several handovers, several transfers, and various research on it. Something was wrong, something was off!
Some timelines were in Conflict, with the Stellar Core existing in two places at the same time!
One of them must be fake information.
But during the casting of the Art of Heavenly Inquiry, it automatically filters out fake information. How could such obviously contradictory information appear in the final result?
Could the Stellar Core force fake messages into my mind?
Meng Huaifeng frowned tightly as he carefully checked every piece of information. March 7th and Stelle watched Meng Huaifeng silently, not daring to make a sound.
Wait, what is this?
Meng Huaifeng zoomed in on a tiny period, and Silver Wolf’s cartoon avatar appeared on the mobile phone screen.
“Silver Wolf?! The Stellar Core Hunters might have come, right on this planet!” Meng Huaifeng exclaimed.
What the hell? Why are they here?
“Stellar Core Hunters? Could they be after the Stellar Core on this planet?” Welt guessed.
“Wait, I have a question. What do the Stellar Core Hunters do with the Stellar Cores they Hunt? Are they going to do Bad Deeds?” March 7th raised her little hand and asked.
“No one knows why they Hunt Stellar Cores, nor is there any news of them using Stellar Cores for Destruction. The reason they became wanted criminals is that although Stellar Cores are the Source of disasters, in the hands of certain forces that can control Stellar Cores, they are also priceless Treasures.” Welt said.
“Uh, speaking of which, we’ve sealed quite a few Stellar Cores too.” March 7th said weakly. Why haven’t they become wanted criminals?
“The Stellar Cores we Seal are those that local forces cannot control and only bring disaster. If the locals can control the Stellar Core, we won’t interfere. The Stellar Core Hunters are different; even Sealed Stellar Cores will be Hunted by them. They’ve robbed Stellar Cores from other forces multiple times, which made them infamous and turned them into wanted criminals by The Company.” Welt explained.
“So if we don’t interfere and let the Stellar Core Hunters take the Stellar Core away, wouldn’t that resolve the Crisis on this planet?” Stelle’s eyes lit up.
“In Theory, yes.” Welt nodded.
Meng Huaifeng didn’t think so. The Stellar Core Hunters suddenly coming to Yarilo-VI was definitely not for the Stellar Core; there was an 80% chance they were here to stop them from speedrunning.
However, he had no evidence to prove his idea, so he could only say: “No matter what the Stellar Core Hunters plan to do, we can’t give up what we should do.”
“Huai Feng is right. Then let’s compete with the Stellar Core Hunters to see who Seals the Stellar Core first and becomes the Hero.” March 7th’s fighting spirit suddenly surged.
Sampo, lying on the ground playing dead, listened to the conversation and knew they had failed to locate the Stellar Core. He immediately perked up, not expecting this twist in what was about to be his demise.
“Heh heh, heroes, do you need Sampo here to lend you a hand now?” Sampo rubbed his hands, laughing smugly like a petty villain.
“Although the Art of Heavenly Inquiry failed, I still know the Stellar Core is somewhere in the Everfrost Land. If we search carefully, we’ll definitely find it.” Meng Huaifeng said coldly.
“I say, buddy, do you know how big the Everfrost Land is? And with centuries of accumulated snow, the Stellar Core is completely buried. If you want to dig it out, seven or eight days might not even be enough. Why not follow Sampo through the process? My previous guarantee still holds—I’ll make sure you find the Stellar Core before the Stellar Core Hunters. How about it?” Sampo toned down his smugness upon hearing this and hurriedly persuaded.
“I think you’ll definitely use us for Joy.” March 7th said, somewhat resistant.
“Oh, grandma, with Brother Huai Feng’s abilities, I couldn’t fool you even if I tried. How could I use you for Joy?” Sampo coaxed.
“How would I know? You Pranksters have all sorts of tricks.” March 7th muttered.
“No other way for now. Let’s go with him first.” Stelle suggested.
“Then let’s go with him first. Once I recover, I’ll try again.” Meng Huaifeng was still unconvinced.
Under Sampo’s lead, the Pioneer Squad headed toward Belobog. The group didn’t encounter any Silvermane Guards and smoothly arrived outside the city.
“This is the only city of Preservation still standing on this planet, Belobog.” Sampo introduced.
“Wow, so magnificent. It has a unique sense of heaviness.” March 7th exclaimed while taking out her camera to start Taking a photo.
“Can you tell us about the factions here?” Meng Huaifeng asked.
“The ruler here is the Supreme Guardian Cocolia, who inherited the Will of the City Builders over seven hundred years ago. The Silvermane Guards are her most important guard force, commanded by her daughter Bronya…” Sampo introduced.
“Wait! You said Cocolia and Bronya?” A shadow flashed in Welt’s eyes; he felt it must be Aha messing with him.
“Yeah, what’s up? Hero, do you know them?” Sampo asked strangely.
“No, I don’t. Continue.” Welt said.
“Alright, besides the surface, there’s another force Underground. After Cocolia abandoned the Underground, it formed its own organization called Earthfire, stabilizing order Underground. Core members include Oleg, Natasha, Seele, and more. Besides that, there’s a robot faction led by Swaro.” Sampo continued.
Seele… another familiar name.
“Sampo, are you here on Aha’s orders to prank us?” Welt couldn’t help asking. How could it be such a coincidence?
“I’m innocent! Hero, why would you think that? I, old Sampo, swear to the heavens I haven’t pranked you!” Sampo looked baffled.
“Huai Feng, is the Mind Communication on?” Welt confirmed.
Meng Huaifeng nodded.
Welt pondered for a moment with his head down: “Do you think the Blessing granted by Aha could be made ineffective on someone without you knowing?”
“Then Uncle Yang, try telling a lie?” Meng Huaifeng said.
Welt opened his mouth, then shook his head: “I can’t say it. But could It make it ineffective only on certain people?”
