Chapter 143: A chance encounter between gentlemen: Elegant language, a captivating gentleman.
Astral Express.
March 7th couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Just now.
This Knights of Beauty named Argenti was saying things like " Please admit that the beauty of the Pure Beauty Goddess Idrila is unmatched in the world", " I am not good with words", " I long for you to understand Pure Beauty", and so on.
Then he initiated a battle!
As soon as they entered this plot point, Argenti immediately became a boss-level enemy in the game.
He had weaknesses to Fire, Ice, and Physical attributes.
This made March 7th's team, which primarily used Dragon Dan as the main DPS, feel a bit tricky for a while.
Fortunately.
The battle was stopped halfway by Uncle Yang.
Welt said in a deep voice, " Sorry to interrupt... whatever's happening here.. You two, I just discussed with Himeko, the current situation might be more urgent than we imagined."
Argenti also immediately said: " My deepest apologies, Mr. Yang, my concentration has been solely centered on my conversation with [ Trailblazer ]. Now, it is only fitting to disclose the main reason for my presence here: to work jointly in resolving the crisis before us."
" I was originally piloting the [ One and Only ] through the galaxy - but during my journey, I accidentally discovered a stranded Company employee, Velite, and brought him out of a huge cave he had accidentally fallen into."
" Upon saving Velite, I altered my flight course to accompany him to his original location. Consequently, I inadvertently ended up on the Express's navigational trajectory."
After clarifying that it was a misunderstanding.
Everyone began to discuss together how to solve the crisis before them.
March 7th went to the window again and looked around.
She said with some confusion, " What kind of trouble did we encounter this time?"
" The stars outside doesn't look normal no matter how I look at it."
" Uncle Yang, what do you think?"
Old Yang sat on the sofa.
After thinking for a moment, he said, " It looks like an environment after the magnetic field has been distorted...? The Express here doesn't seem to be in a normal cosmic environment. I can't say for sure, after all, it's just an anomaly in the game, and some intuitive information can't be collected."
" You can ask Argenti, being able to understand the Knights of Beauty through this mission in advance is not a bad thing for us."
Pom-Pom couldn't sit still and jumped down from the seat.
After approaching the projection screen, and said, " Pom-Pom is more concerned about what the Express has encountered. If it will pose a threat to the Express, we must try our best to avoid this experience happening in reality, Pom."
March 7th nodded in agreement.
She stepped forward to talk to Argenti.
[ So what should we do now? ]
Argenti stretched out a hand and placed it on his chest: " Enjoy the present moment."
[ Huh? And then? ]
" Continue to enjoy the present moment."
[ That's all you could come up with? ]
" You misunderstand. I must first wholeheartedly enjoy the red night of the universe before I can discover an inharmonious pitch. These two things are correlated. Once I discover the cause, I shall destroy it," Argenti said as if it were a matter of course.
March 7th:"..."
She didn't understand, but she was greatly shocked.
She scratched her head.
She couldn't help but complain, " I feel like... Sampo is more reliable than this guy!"
" Uh... no, he still seems a bit more reliable than Sampo..."
At this moment.
On the other side of the universe.
Velite didn't know that he had become one of the characters appearing in Argenti's Companion Mission.
He had just completed his business trip for the Company.
He was currently piloting his spaceship back to the Company.
Suddenly.
In the route ahead, a dilapidated spaceship came towards him head-on.
It looked like it was going to self-destruct and crashed into his spaceship.
Velite was greatly alarmed.
He immediately changed his course!
And that dilapidated spaceship also deviated from the route with him.
" Bang!"
The two collided.
Velite's spaceship was fine, after all, it was the latest IPC model.
As for the other ship, it was already wrecked, and now, after this collision, it was not far from being completely scrapped.
Black smoke was coming from the tail, and it wobbled along.
It landed on a nearby uninhabited planet.
Velite walked out of the cabin angrily.
" What's wrong with you? Can't you fly a ship?!"
" I've already contacted the Company's security, and someone will come to deal with this accident soon."
Velite was justifiably confident.
After all, the spaceship's recorder had clearly recorded the video of the other party's illegal operation. There was no possibility of a staged accident.
" Bang!"
The cabin wall of the broken ship was suddenly punched open.
Velite was startled.
He immediately prepared to flee back to his own spaceship.
Inside the broken ship.
A modified human dressed as a cowboy jumped out.
He patted the small sparks on his shoulder.
The cowboy smiled disdainfully and said, " Baby of babies! If I hadn't crashed into you, my little darling, we would already be the bugs' dinner."
Following the cowboy's gaze.
Velite was immediately scared and trembled all over.
He saw that in the stars.
A giant True Sting was wandering!
Wherever it went.
Nebulae, asteroids, space debris, everything was swallowed into its mouth.
Its size was so huge, it was even like a moving planet!
The shadow it cast obscured half of the starlight.
" By the Amber Lord! What... what is this thing!?"
" So big?"
" Our spaceship isn't even an appetizer in front of it, is it?"
Velite was so scared that he collapsed directly onto the ground.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He said to the cowboy, " Well... thanks."
" Hiss... why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"
Velite's expression suddenly became strange.
" Ah ah ah!!!"
" You are the Company's S-class wanted criminal - Boothill!!"
Boothill pulled his hat down, his eyes narrowed: " Heck of a meow-meow-burr, you recognized me before I even said a word? This is how you face your savior?"
" What... what do you want!?"
Boothill laughed wildly, a mouthful of shark teeth gleaming.
" Recently, I've taken a liking to a character called Dan Heng. I heard that the Eidolon 2 is pretty strong, and I'm just a bit short on money."
" Are you talking about Dragon Dan from 'Honkai: Star Rail'? No problem, I'll top up for you right away!"
Hearing these words.
Boothill immediately showed a displeased expression.
" Who the baby wants you to top up? We Galaxy Rangers have our own principles."
Velite breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this person spoke a little strangely, he still saved him.
And he didn't even want money.
He should be a wanted criminal with quite a bit of principle.
Suddenly.
There was a " bang " sound of a cabin door closing from behind.
Velite was instantly dumbfounded.
" You..."
" Damn it! My spaceship!!!"
Boothill left a message: " I have hands and feet, if I need money, I'll definitely go rob the Company's bank!"
" What's the point of talking nonsense with you?"
" I'll borrow this spaceship for a while, see you, little darling!" Velite stood frozen in place.
Looking at the barren surroundings.
Only that scrapped old ship was left.
" Ah ah ah ah!!!"
" Help!"
" Is there anyone who can save me!?"
...
On the planet of the Knights of Beauty.
Argenti put away his phone.
He began to tidy his appearance by a spring, looking ready to set off.
Virgana, a Knights of Beauty, walked over and asked, " What's wrong? Aren't you going to finish watching the plot before setting off?"
Argenti said righteously, " In the plot just now, I saw the Company employee Velite trapped in a huge cave."
" According to the correlation between the game and reality, at this moment, this future believer of Goddess Idrila is probably about to encounter danger..."
" My sense of mission as a Knights of Beauty absolutely cannot allow this situation to happen!"
" I must go and rescue him!"
As soon as these words came out.
The scene was immediately in an uproar.
Someone praised, " What a noble and selfless quality! Argenti, you are indeed the representative of our Knights of Beauty!"
" We will set off with you!"
" Anyone who admits that Goddess Idrila's beauty is unmatched in the world is worthy of salvation!"
The Knights of Beauty set off collectively.
Each piloting their magnificent spaceship, they headed to the area where Velite was.
They were not far from the target area to begin with.
They soon arrived nearby.
At this moment.
Boothill happened to be leaving the area in the stolen spaceship.
Many Knights of Beautys' spaceships blocked him.
And Argenti, as the representative, boarded Boothill's spaceship to negotiate with him.
" Heck of a baby leg!"
" Who the heck is this little darling?"
" I just hijacked a spaceship, and immediately so many little darlings surrounded me?"
" Your efficiency is simply dozens of meow-meow-burrs higher than those darn Company little darlings!?"
[ Note: Boothill gives me a headache ]
Boothill had one hand on the revolver at his waist.
As long as the other party made any move, he would strike first!
And Argenti looked honored.
He opened his mouth and said, " Ah... what beautiful language."
" Please allow me to also praise you, charming sir; beautiful vocabulary is a wonderful symbol of interstellar communication."
Boothill:"?"
Is this person being sarcastic?
No!
With this attitude, does he seem to be serious?
Does he really not understand how dirty my curses are?
Does he really think I'm praising you for being cute?
No way?
No way!
Boothill saw the silver armor on the other party and suddenly remembered.
Heck of a baby!
These are the brothers of the Knights of Beautys!
Argenti bowed slightly and sincerely asked, " Excuse me, have you seen a stranded Company employee nearby?"
" Our Knights of Beauty are here specifically to rescue him."
Boothill pulled his hat down.
He lowered his voice and said, " Oh, I think I have some impression. Some guy's spaceship had a problem, and he's repairing it on that planet over there."
" Thank you for your guidance, respectable friend."
" May you believe in Idrila."
Argenti said devoutly.
Then he left the spaceship.
And Boothill immediately pulled the engine to the maximum, wishing he could leave this area right away!
Something was not right today!
He had to quickly find a place to pull a job on his baby Company!
And then have a good time playing " Honkai: Star Rail"...
