Chapter 205: Is this a legitimate guide?
"A guide?" Eve looked curiously at the book in Firefly's hands.
The cover, with its illegible handwriting reading "Luofu Travel Guide," clearly wasn't printed.
“Yes, it’s a travel guide to Luofu.” Liu Ying held up the book in her hand. “It has a detailed introduction to the Immortal Ship.”
"Someone was handing them out for free over there just now," Liu Ying said, turning her head to look in another direction from the market.
"What's with the money in there?" Eve asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I'm not quite sure either," Liu Ying shook her head.
"I was reading about Chang Le Tian when a stack of credits fell out of the book."
"Are the people of Luofu this enthusiastic? They not only give books but also money?" Eve suddenly felt even more favorably disposed towards Luofu.
"He also said that once I finish reading the guide, I will understand them and join them."
"Huh? The person who issued the guide would say this?" Eve was a little confused.
This sounds like a pyramid scheme, doesn't it?
At this moment, Bai Lu tugged at Eve's sleeve.
"Um, Mom, I should go back now. Even though I snuck out, the sisters at Dan Ding Si will worry if I stay too long."
"Huh? Mom? Who is this child?" Liu Ying looked down at Bai Lu, her eyes filled with shock.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Eve squatted down and rubbed Bailu's little head.
"Mmm, I'm really good at it!"
After saying that, Bai Lu ran out in a flash.
"What, what is this?" Liu Ying looked at Eve, then at Bai Lu who had run away.
“This is a long story,” Eve said very seriously.
"Please make this short, okay?" Firefly said with a smile.
“This child has neither a mother nor a father, so she treats me like her mother,” Eve said seriously.
"An orphan...?"
Suddenly, Liu Ying felt a pang of heartache; so that's how it was.
Oh, what a poor child.
"Oh, right, this is a little cake I brought for you, even though you ended up paying for it." Eve handed a beautifully packaged little box to Firefly.
"A small cake..." Liu Ying held the box, momentarily at a loss.
This was the first time someone had ever bought her a cake.
Upon opening the box, you'll find a cake shaped like tree rings, its rich aroma truly irresistible.
"This is a specialty from Pinocchio, called Oak Roll Cake. However, Xianzhou has made some improvements, so it tastes not only like the fragrance of wood but also like the sweetness of cake," Eve explained.
Liu Ying stood there, holding the cake, and quietly said, "Thank you..."
"Alright, we still have a mission to carry out after we finish eating."
"Mmm." Liu Ying took a bite, and the sweetness of the cake immediately spread in her mouth.
Gradually, the sweet taste not only spread in the mouth but also filled the heart.
Everything is moving in the best direction, isn't it?
"But speaking of which, where is the Industrial Development Division? That little hacker didn't give a specific answer." Eve picked up Firefly's guide and started reading.
"As one of the Six Divisions, it probably won't be easy to find someone like that," Liu Ying sighed as she ate her cake.
This mission is quite challenging.
Given the current state of martial law on the Immortal Ship, it would be difficult to carry out the mission, let alone infiltrate the Construction Bureau, one of the Six Departments.
“It seems to be here.” Eve flipped through a few pages of the guide, and suddenly a detailed introduction to the Bureau of Construction appeared.
"Huh? Is it in this guide too?" Firefly asked, somewhat surprised.
The Construction Department is a crucial location on the Immortal Ship; how could it possibly appear in the guide so casually?
"Not only that, it also details the internal structure of the Industrial Construction Company, staffing ratios, patrol times, blind spots in surveillance..." Eve quickly scanned the guide and read the contents aloud.
"This..." Liu Ying fell silent.
Is this the kind of content a guide should have?
"Are you sure this is a guide?" Eve looked up at Firefly.
This isn't a guide; it's practically a strategy manual for the game "Fairy Boat"!
"Well, that's what the person who gave it to me said." There was a hint of confusion in Liu Ying's eyes.
"That person was wearing a gray robe, his face was obscured, he stood out from the crowd, and he ran away after giving me the book," Liu Ying recalled carefully.
Eve immediately understood, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"So the seemingly invincible Immortal Boat Alliance isn't a monolithic entity after all."
"Look, this is going to be quite fun."
"Are you saying there are people with ulterior motives in Luofu?" Liuying asked.
"Shh, you can't say things like that. Let's see how things develop first," Eve said, making a shushing gesture.
"What should we do now?" Firefly asked worriedly.
"Since someone has provided us with this guide, why not use it for free?" Eve smiled slightly.
"Let's go, let's go to the Industrial Construction Bureau to check things out first."

[SMS: The Starry Sky Train Family]
Danheng: Trail Blazers, March, where are you? (Message failed to send)
Danheng: I'm coming to meet you (message failed to send)
"Can't send it..." Dan Heng fiddled with his phone. He couldn't send the message, but the network signal was definitely full.
"Network access is restricted, but some functions are working normally?"
Dan Heng shook his head helplessly.
He was still somewhat worried about this pioneering journey, so he finally decided to board the train and arrive at Xianzhou Luofu.
Danheng continued forward, when suddenly he noticed signs of a battle ahead.
He immediately went forward and saw the fragments on the ground.
"Fragments of the Cloud Rider Armor? And the Six-Phase Ice, and... Miss Eve's leaves?"
Dan Heng recognized the marks at a glance, and he couldn't help but start to worry.
"Could it be that the Cloud Cavalry has gotten into a conflict? With Mr. Walter there, it shouldn't be like this..."
Just then, a few noises suddenly came from ahead.
Dan Heng rushed over immediately and saw a girl and a man with long golden hair being trapped by a monster.
"The cave is ever-changing, a dreamlike wonder."
Dan Heng, holding a long spear, swiftly threw it.
The cloud-piercing arrow transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing the monster's heart and pinning it firmly to the container.
"Phew, that scared me to death! Who are you...?" Su Chang was startled by the sudden situation. She turned around and saw Dan Heng walking towards her.
Rakshasa, standing to the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Danheng ignored them and went over immediately to check if the monster was dead.
Only after confirming that there was absolutely no chance of survival did Dan Heng feel relieved enough to pull out Ji Yun.
"Hey, who are you? Why aren't you saying anything? Your Cloud Cavalry spear skills are pretty good. Which unit are you from?" Su Chang asked, leaning closer.
Dan Heng shook his head. "I am not a member of the Cloud Cavalry."
"Oh, alright, then you're a commoner too, come with me."
"Miss Su Chang, what happened to the immortal ship? I have traveled here and here many times for trade, and I have never seen the Star Chariot Sea in such a state." Rakshasa walked over and asked.
"Well... I can't tell you the truth either," Su Chang said hesitantly.
"I was only ordered to come here to rescue civilians. I heard that Luofu is under full martial law and all cargo ships in Xingcha Sea are to be searched again."
"Search the cargo ship, this..." Rakshasa hesitated.
"Yes, I heard something big happened." Su Chang nodded. "What's wrong? What are you worried about?"
Luosha snapped out of his daze and shook his head. "It's nothing. I'm just a merchant. I'm afraid the people from the Tianbo Company might damage the goods."
"Don't worry, the people from the Tianbo Bureau are all very capable. This kind of thing will never happen," Su Chang said reassuringly.
"Sigh, I hope so..." Rakshasa sighed.
"After all, that shipment is very important..."
