Traveling on the Astral Express was incredibly boring.
The scenery outside remained unchanged.
Day and night were impossible to distinguish.
It was stifling!
Luckily, Su Zhe had Ji Zi.
At night, they would cuddle and increase their "joy" strength.
During the day, Ji Zi had her own research projects.
She had no time to accompany him.
Fortunately, Su Zhe had the girls in the group chat to keep him company, so he wouldn't be bored.
Train conductor Pam had to focus on driving.
When cruising through the star space, cooking duties undoubtedly fell upon Su Zhe.
Valter would sometimes come out to showcase his culinary skills.
But more often, he was stuck in the data room browsing the "Knowledge Base."
He truly was a scholar.
However, after Dan Heng boarded the train, the data room became his exclusive "bedroom."
…
Black Tower space station.
Ji Zi quickly connected with Astarte.
After receiving permission to dock.
Pam expertly maneuvered the Astral Express, parking it at the same platform 36 from last time.
Gazing at the existence that could be considered a miracle before him.
Valter's eyes widened, his mouth agape, his heart filled with awe!
This space station far surpassed anything on Earth.
"Valter, want to go check out the space station?"
Ji Zi inquired.
"Of course!"
Valter pushed up his glasses.
He had learned from the "Knowledge Base" that the space station belonged to Black Tower, seat 83 of the Genius Club.
It was the envoy of the "Wisdom" Star God, Boshicun.
Envoy.
Each one possessed the power to overturn the galaxy.
He wouldn't miss the opportunity to witness an "envoy."
Of course.
He didn't know that Su Zhe actually had the strength to defeat Star Gods.
He truly wanted to go take a look.
As for the "Knowledge Base," he could always access it later.
Besides, he also needed to buy a phone to conveniently connect to the "Knowledge Base" for browsing and data entry to update it.
"What about the conductor?"
Su Zhe: "Pam can't leave the train."
"Oh, I'll bring you back a gift then, conductor."
For some reason, Valter felt a sense of dejection on Pam's face.
"Thank you, Valter passenger.
But when you first came, Ji Zi passenger and Su Zhe passenger already brought gifts, Pam."
"Besides, does Valter passenger have any credit points, Pam?"
Pam tilted her little head.
Though her voice was adorable, it pierced Valter's fragile little heart like a knife.
Ahem.
To be honest, he really didn't have any money.
The money for the phone was an advance from Ji Zi.
He was still on the train, "working off his debt."
Su Zhe knew Pam was happy!
Any nameless passenger who took the initiative to bring gifts to her was a good nameless passenger, she approved.
…
After getting off the train.
Stationmaster Astarte was already waiting.
As always, she was accompanied by her otherworldly brother, Alan from the Lei Ze, and the annoying dog, Pepe.
"Astarte stationmaster is personally greeting us, the Astral Express is honored.
Ji Zi smiled lightly, her hand extended gracefully.
"Welcome, Astral Express, Black Tower is already waiting."
Astarte gently shook her hand, her gaze shifting towards Valter, who was carrying a box.
Hm.
Newcomers all started as "laborers."
"Who is this?"
"Valter Yang, newly joined 'nameless passenger'."
Ji Zi's eyes narrowed slightly as she explained.
Heh.
If it were just me, I would definitely not see you, stationmaster, come down to greet us so grandly.
Even as she stared at Valter, the twinkling remnants of her gaze still swept over Su Zhe.
Ji Zi's lips curled upwards.
She gently pinched Su Zhe.
Su Zhe: (￣_￣)
Blaming me for my charm?
"Hello, Mr. Valter."
"You recruited a 'nameless passenger' so quickly?"
"It seems 'Expansion' will soon recover to its former glory, shaking the cosmos."
"Come, for this grand meeting."
"Teacher's true body is here, oh."
Astarte smiled and greeted, then led everyone towards the inside of the space station.
Ji Zi was surprised.
Black Tower's true body was actually here this time?
Black Tower usually operated remotely through her puppet, her real age remained a mystery.
Few people had ever seen her true form.
Valter, holding the box, was a bit dazed.
He hadn't finished browsing the Knowledge Base yet.
He didn't know Astarte had feelings for Su Zhe.
He only knew that the space station's stationmaster came down to greet them personally, the Astral Express had some serious clout.
And based on what she said?
The past glories of "Expansion" once shook the entire universe.
…
The lounge.
"Ji Zi, Mr. Valter, you two wait here for a while.
I'll take Mr. Su to Teacher, then we'll discuss the value of your collection."
"Alright!"
Black Tower's true body?
Su Zhe was quite curious.
"Valter, this is my access card."
"Go take a look around."
"If you want to buy anything, I'll pay later."
Ji Zi handed him her access card.
"This, okay..."
"Although it's the highest authority card, don't go to the confidential areas, okay?"
"I know."
…
As soon as he entered the office, Su Zhe saw a woman with purple long hair, her side profile facing him as she adjusted the simulation universe.
Su Zhe quickly stepped forward, curiously looking her up and down.
Tsk tsk~
Black Tower's puppet had a youthful figure.
But this true body wasn't a mature woman, she was somewhere in between.
A high schooler between a middle schooler and a college student, I guess?
About a seven out of ten similarity.
She was a bit prettier than Black Tower's puppet.
But unfortunately!
The rise and fall of her...uh, there wasn't much change?
"What are you expecting?"
Black Tower's face gradually darkened, like the gloom before a storm.
Su Zhe shrugged, took out the "World Beacon," and handed it to Black Tower.
"When you came back, it triggered automatic localization."
"What surprised me is that it actually received the coordinates of the new world."
"But unfortunately!"
"I can't lock onto it."
"AAAA~Damn it, you know how that feels?"
"Like having a cake in front of you, but you can't eat it."
Black Tower's true body was a bit crazy.
"I understand, a mirage."
Su Zhe said.
"Similar."
Black Tower quickly regained her composure.
"But, I can use it to locate the beacon of the other world."
"And I can transfer there."
Su Zhe had tried it when he was on the train.
He no longer needed Chelsea's invitation.
"Ah? How did you do it?"
Black Tower was surprised.
The reason she came here in person was for this otherworld beacon.
This thing interested her deeply.
It was no less fascinating than the simulated universe.
"Simply put, I became the god of that world."
"Ha? Like a Star God?"
"Different!"
After returning to Honkai: Star Rail.
Su Zhe could still locate the "Akame ga Kill!" world through his senses.
But maybe he hadn't reached the level of a multiversal being, he could only use the beacon to locate and teleport for now.
"Can you make another one? I need a 'beacon' that can locate multiple dimensional worlds."
"The more, the better."
Su Zhe added.
This beacon was full after storing one world.
He didn't want to carry countless beacons around.
"The difficulty is increased quite a bit, it might take a week!"
"OK, let me know when it's done."
…
Just as he was about to leave.
The group chat "Future Rich Lady Advanced Health Club" suddenly popped up a notification.
["'Pi Pi Ying We're Going' has joined the group chat."]
["'Fairy Child' has joined the group chat."]
["Welcome the new group members."]
