Meng Huaifeng had never imagined that something as good as a System would one day appear for him.
But since it really did appear, he certainly couldn't miss it.
After some understanding, Meng Huaifeng learned that the System's name was the Infinite Transmigration System.
It didn't have any messy functions like strengthening, exchanging, gacha, or daily sign-ins.
It had only one function: randomly transmigrating to different worlds.
Unable to casually cheat, Meng Huaifeng was a little disappointed, yet also a little relieved.
While cheating was easy, Meng Huaifeng always felt that power gained so easily wasn't truly his own; the System could give it to him, and perhaps just as easily take it back.
It was more reassuring to take one step at a time, steadily growing stronger.
Well, this was just sour grapes.
According to the System, the worlds for transmigration were random and uncontrollable, but he would always transmigrate not far from the protagonist, and it would come with a brief overview of that world.
Moreover, no matter how long he stayed in the transmigration world, only one day would have passed in his original world upon his return.
Meng Huaifeng didn't hesitate due to the randomness of transmigration, nor did he rashly transmigrate immediately.
Instead, he bought bulletproof vests, weapons, gear, food, and water online, making thorough preparations before starting his first transmigration.
Although he didn't know what world he would transmigrate to, since it was near the protagonist, it shouldn't be too dangerous, right?
With the System in hand, he had to transmigrate; if he didn't, what was the difference from not having a System at all?
Die early, reincarnate early; live long, live forever!
Take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!
Transmigrate!
Normally, such thoughts would be fine, but no one expected that the first world Meng Huaifeng would transmigrate to would be the Honkai: Star Rail world!
The time was even when the Astral Express was speeding through the galaxy, just before a jump!
Transmigrating into the vacuum of space in an instant, Meng Huaifeng was completely stunned!
What kind of idiotic System is this?!
It should have thrown him inside the Astral Express! Although it would be hard to explain how he got there, it would still be better than throwing him into a vacuum!
However, in a vacuum, he couldn't even speak, only complain silently in his heart.
It's over now, died before even achieving success.
Fortunately, the System seemed to know how much of a pitfall it was, so it still had many life-saving measures.
Upon realizing that the host would be dead in a few dozen seconds, the System activated an emergency plan.
"Detecting host is about to die, return to original world immediately?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Meng Huaifeng quickly said in his mind.
"Anchoring coordinates of original world, returning to original world in ten seconds."
Ten seconds? He should be able to hold on.
Just as Meng Huaifeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking his life was saved.
A train roared, rushing towards him, getting closer and closer!
Holy cow!
Could it be that he wouldn't die from lack of oxygen in the vacuum, but instead be hit and killed by a train?
What a bizarre way to die!
These words put together are simply outrageous!
The train's speed was too fast; Meng Huaifeng had no time to react.
Fortunately, the System had time to react!
"Detecting host is about to die again, stopping original world anchoring, immediately transmigrating to a random world!"
Returning to the original world required some time to anchor the world coordinates, but transmigrating to a random world didn't; just open a wormhole and throw him in.
Perhaps the situation was too urgent, and the System didn't even have time to ask for Meng Huaifeng's consent, immediately opening a transmigration wormhole and throwing Meng Huaifeng in.
Good news, Meng Huaifeng successfully transmigrated again.
Bad news, the wormhole closed a bit slowly, and the train was too fast, following him through!
Death is still chasing me!
"Detecting host is about to die again, again, activating invincible shield, duration five seconds!"
A golden light had just appeared on Meng Huaifeng when, like a billiard ball, the train's front 'bang' hit Meng Huaifeng, sending him flying!
"After two consecutive transmigrations and shield activation, System energy is insufficient and will enter hibernation, estimated hibernation period two years."
"Since I'm going to be hit by a car anyway, why didn't you just activate the invincible shield directly?" Meng Huaifeng complained while flying through the air.
"Previously, the host was in space; even if the shield was activated, the host would still face the threat of death after the shield ended. According to System calculations, after the host was hit and sent flying, the probability of being taken into the train before death was 0." The System's voice was completely flat.
There was no resistance in a vacuum; if he were hit, he would keep flying until caught by planetary gravity, and in such a situation, the Astral Express Crew would indeed have a hard time finding him.
Meng Huaifeng was speechless.
Five seconds had passed, and Meng Huaifeng, who had already landed, rolled a few times due to inertia.
Even though the biggest impact upon landing was absorbed by the invincible shield, the remaining damage still caused Meng Huaifeng to pass out.
"System hibernating, wish host a pleasant journey."
The System's voice completely fell silent.
Meng Huaifeng didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he opened his eyes, what met his gaze was a flawless, delicate face, so fair it seemed it would break with a touch.
Pink hair, tightly closed eyes, slightly puffed cheeks, and a blush that surpassed everything in the world.
I don't know what happened, but if I don't do something, I'll regret it for a lifetime.
The young girl's pretty face was slowly approaching, the trembling of her eyelashes revealing her owner's nervousness.
If the mountain won't come to me, I will go to the mountain.
Meng Huaifeng cooperatively lifted his head slightly.
"Hm?"
The young girl's bright, watery eyes suddenly opened, her pink gaze meeting Meng Huaifeng's.
"Click!"
The sound of a camera shutter rang out, startling the young girl whose mind had been a blank slate.
"Ah~! You, you, you... When did you wake up?" The young girl shrieked, quickly got up and retreated a few steps, pointing at Meng Huaifeng and stammering.
"When you kissed me."
Seeing the young girl's attire from a distance, Meng Huaifeng immediately recognized her.
Isn't this March 7th?
She's even prettier in person than in the game!
"Who... who kissed you! I didn't! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense! This girl was saving you! Giving you CPR!" March 7th denied three times.
"So that's how it is."
"Mhm, mhm."
"I have no way to repay this life-saving kindness. I am willing to offer myself in marriage to repay your great favor, young lady!"
"Mhm... Mhm? No! That's too hasty! This girl doesn't agree!" March 7th crossed her arms, her face full of rejection.
"Why not be a cow or a horse?" Star asked, blinking her eyes.
"Because my benefactor is beautiful," Meng Huaifeng said honestly.
"Oh my! Stop talking!" March 7th's small face was so red it looked like it was about to smoke: "By the way, A-xing, did you just take a picture? Quickly delete it for this girl!"
"Can't delete it, it's already sent to the group chat," Star said, shrugging.
March 7th felt her vision go dark. Sent to... the group chat...?
March 7th mechanically opened her Phone, tapped on the group chat, and the Astral Express Crew's chat history appeared before her eyes.
"Ah! I can't even face anyone! A-xing, this girl is going to fight you!"
March 7th shrieked, completely blacked out, and with a self-sacrificing charge, tackled Star to the ground, her tiny fists raining down on Star's chest.
Star was not to be outdone, counterattacking decisively, and the two immediately started wrestling on the grass.
