A Fated Hand in Hand II: The Galactic Trade Route

Star Trek: The Galactic Trade Route

In the folds of the vast galaxy, an interstellar trade war and a quest to save lives quietly unfold, wielding the blade of Eastern wisdom. Chu Nanzhou pilots his ancestral spaceship, the Hu Xuan, and uses the quantum probiotics in aged pickled cabbage brine to activate its power core. He unexpectedly repels a space pirate attack, unaware that the defective 4.5 Hz tremor in his genes is actually the “biological key” to resolving the galactic crisis. In a post-battle examination, medical officer Su Lan discovers that the tremor resonates with the disease afflicting the pirates’ homeworld. And when a fragment of Lu Yuxing’s jade pendant becomes embedded in the deck, it reveals the secret origins of the Yudonglai White Elephant Instant Noodle trading conglomerate. Its predecessor was an interstellar convenience store jointly run by the Chu and Lu ancestors three hundred years ago. It has since grown into a business colossus controlling the lifeblood of the galaxy.

When the two jade pendants are joined, they awaken buried memories: Chu Yao’s belief in “healing with harmony” and Lu Qingyuan’s belief in “curing illness through battle” split apart, giving rise to the star-devouring “Xingtian cancer,” a quantum tumor formed by dark matter infection that triggers cosmic thirst disease every seventy-two years. Chu Nanzhou’s Y chromosome is entangled with the pirates’ homeworld’s “life-gate spark,” the blood stasis of the cosmos, tinged with the scent of angelica, seeps from Lu Yuxing’s battle armor and conceals an aching sorrow, while the fates of all three intertwine during a neural surfing session as Su Lan dispels nightmares in the Lesser Yang asteroid belt with “Bupleurum Liver-Soothing Quantum Mist.” When the Hu Xuan enters a fossil star vein, Su Lan uses the starship as a needle to diagnose the galaxy’s “Lesser Yang pivot dysfunction.” Chu Nanzhou thrusts his ancestral selfie stick into the star core’s life gate, and the pulsar begins to flash the words of Treatise on Cold Damage
