Chapter 1: Before even retiring, my past life was broadcast live.
The Starry Sky Train, observation carriage.
Pam spun around the carriage like a top with a vacuum cleaner in hand, constantly muttering about the cleaning standards.
in the corner.
Lu Li, wearing a cheap apron with the logo of "Gift from Interstellar Peace Company" printed on it, was staring blankly at a mahogany round table, clutching a rag in his hand.
That's right.
He is a time traveler.
It has been three years since I came to this world of Collapse Iron, which is full of star gods, messengers and world-destroying monsters.
With a decent coffee-making skill and a knack for wiping tables.
He successfully became a proud—well, a train logistics specialist.
Job duties: making coffee, wiping tables, and listening to Pam's rambling.
Combat strength: 5 (can probably beat a piggy bank, provided the piggy bank doesn't bump into him).
Also.
After all, he had neither a cheat code nor any extraordinary encounters.
It's a miracle that he, an ordinary person, was able to join the Starry Sky Train's staff within a year of his time travel, see his favorite character, and fulfill his dream from his previous life.
Now that his dream has been fulfilled, all he wants to do is live a life of leisure and wait for death.
If possible, it would be even better to watch the main characters go through the "main storyline" from the VIP seats.
Well, although Star Core Essence... cough cough.
The main character hasn't even gotten on the bus yet.
"Hey, you janitor over there."
Just then, an arrogant voice interrupted Lu Li's slacking off.
The train is currently stopped at the Black Tower Space Station for resupply, and several "interstellar rich" tourists dressed in designer clothes are touring the carriages.
The speaker was a fat man with a slicked-back hairstyle, who was holding a half-empty glass of red wine.
"There's dust on this table, how can we work?" The fat man pointed to the spotless tabletop.
"Is the Star Train so easy to get on board now that even the most useless person can get on?"
Lu Li glanced at the so-called "gray," which was actually the original grain of the wood.
It's obvious that these people are deliberately causing trouble.
He sighed, too lazy to argue.
Arguing = wasting words = getting hungry = needing to eat = spending money.
This doesn't conform to his salted fish rule.
Lu Li picked up a rag and wiped it a couple of times perfunctorily: "Excuse me, sir, it's clean now."
"What kind of attitude is this?!"
The fat man felt insulted and slammed his glass on the table, spitting as he spoke.
"Do you know who I am? I'm a senior executive at level P45 in the company."
"Believe it or not, I'll complain to your navigator and you'll be fired right now!"
Lu Li didn't even lift his eyelids: "Oh, then go ahead."
"Himeko-nee is in the driver's seat."
If I can be expelled.
Taking the severance pay and retiring to a peaceful planet... doesn't seem like a bad idea?
"you--"
The fat man was clearly angered by Lu Li's nonchalant attitude and raised his hand to shove Lu Li's shoulder.
"stop!"
Just then, a pink and blue figure blocked Lu Li's path.
March 7th, holding a camera, glared angrily at the fat man: "Passenger, please mind your manners."
"Lu Li is one of ours. If you want to bully him, you'll have to get past me first!"
The fat man's arrogance subsided slightly when he saw that it was a cute young girl, but he still snorted coldly: "Tch, it's only because your train is kind-hearted that you keep this kind of idle person on board."
"His combat strength is just average, right? We have to waste resources protecting him when the legion attacks."
After saying that, the fat man and his companions walked away, cursing and swearing.
Then, on March 7th, she turned around and looked at Lu Li with a disappointed expression: "Lu Li!"
"Honestly, you just talk back when someone insults you. Aren't you usually the one who's good at making fun of me?"
Lu Li shrugged, tossed the rag into the bucket, and looked indifferent to the world: "In March, in this perilous universe, the weak must be aware of their weakness."
Salted Fish Rule Six: Acknowledge your own mediocrity, accept the excellence of others, and avoid comparison, jealousy, and anxiety.
Others earn a million a year, I'm well-fed and clothed, and we all have a bright future.
What? You're asking me what to do if I'm pushed to the limit?
Salted Fish Rule #8: If you're pushed to the limit, just whisper, "Yeah, you're right." Then keep being a salted fish.
I will never have a direct confrontation, because arguing is exhausting.
The key is.
"And what if I get beaten up if I fight back? Medical expenses are very expensive."
"you……"
March 7th was so angry at Lu Li's nonchalant attitude that she stomped her foot. "Dan Heng told you to practice your marksmanship with him, but you insisted the gun barrel was too cold and your hands hurt."
"Sister Himeko is teaching you how to fix drones, and you say that's mental work that causes hair loss. What exactly are you trying to do?"
"I want to live," Lu Li said honestly.
Being a hero must be exhausting.
Like March 7th and his group, they will travel around to save one planet after another.
Not only are we exhausted, but we also don't get the five social insurances and one housing fund.
Where else can you find something as comfortable as being a happy salted fish like I am now?
After fully recognizing their true strength and choosing to lay everything bare.
Lu Li discovered that the world was actually so vast and beautiful.
Of course.
Even if you're just a salted fish, you should still have dreams and keep the possibility of turning things around.
After all, who knows, maybe one day a windfall will fall from the sky?
But before the pie falls... well, you still have to stay in a lying position and wait in the most comfortable way.
Just as March 7th puffed out his cheeks, preparing to launch his 10086th "passionate lecture" to Lu Li.
Boom!
The entire space station, along with the train, jolted violently.
next moment.
An indescribable, immense aura instantly enveloped the entire galaxy. No.
It's the entire universe!
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shone through the previously dark window.
The light disregarded the laws of physics, piercing directly through the space station's dome and the train's armor, shining into everyone's eyes.
at the same time.
【Ding! 】
[Detection indicates that the target level of attention across the entire universe has been reached]
[Interstellar Past History Review System, officially activated]
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly exploded in Lu Li's mind.
The rag in Lu Li's hand fell back into the bucket with a "plop".
System?
Lu Li knew exactly what this was: the golden finger, one of the three standard features of a transmigrator.
but……
"No, it's been three years. I've been a seasoned veteran for ages, and you're only just now showing up?"
"Don't underestimate a young person's potential; the time for feeding them has passed."
Lu Li had just mentally complained when the golden light outside the window began to gather.
next moment.
A massive canopy of golden light, spanning across the Milky Way, domineeringly enveloped the entire universe.
now.
Whether it was the general of the Luofu Immortal Ship or the city builder of Beloborg.
Even Nanook, far away in the depths of the starry sky, was forced to look up and gaze at this incredible phenomenon.
Above the sky.
As the stirring yet tragic background music trembled across the starry sky, golden ancient seal characters slowly emerged.
[Interstellar Gold List: Exposing Those Unforgettable White Moonlights]
[Review Begins]
Louvre, Belleberg, Black Tower space station... people all over the universe watched the screen in the sky in an uproar.
March 7th gaped, "White...White Moonlight?"
"Is this some kind of gossip show?"
Himeko and Welt were also alerted and came out of the cockpit, looking out the window with solemn expressions: "This level of energy... is probably the work of the Star God."
Before anyone could react, the images on the screen began to change.
A line of blood-red words was carved as if by a knife:
[First: She is a fearless hunter, an elegant witch, yet she trembles with fear only towards him.]
[Main Characters: Star Core Hunter Kafka X Mysterious Man]
The screen lights up.
It was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with countless shattered mechs and warship wrecks piled up to form the throne.
On that throne, a gaunt, black-haired man stood with his back to the world, holding a blood-stained longsword.
His simple white shirt was already soaked with deep red and dark purple blood.
Beneath his feet lay the shattered armor of countless antimatter legions.
Although it was just a view from behind.
Although the man in the picture exudes an astonishing murderous aura.
But that figure, that posture...
March 7th froze, mechanically turning her head.
She glanced at the screen, then at Lu Li, who was about to pick up the rag.
After blinking hard, March 7th spoke with some hesitation.
"Lu Li... that figure on the screen."
"How come you look exactly the same?"
