“Yes! I got a gold in my first ten-pull!”
“Of course! Pretty girls are always lucky!”
Inside the sightseeing carriage.
March 7th let out a cheer.
Dan Heng just glanced at her briefly, his mind still unsettled.
The image of Blade holding his sword and sneering remained vivid.
The new main storyline had already mentioned his name.
He wondered what fate awaited him and Blade on the Xianzhou.
At that moment.
Dan Heng felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of destiny.
More accurately.
He felt like he was being roasted over a fire!
He wished the story would reach the part about him soon.
Whether he lived or died, at least it would be swift.
In Dan Heng's mind.
The upcoming plot would inevitably involve chaos on the Xianzhou Lufu, culminating in a showdown between him and Blade.
His companions on the train would undoubtedly come to his aid.
The final outcome...
Perhaps victory, or perhaps mutual destruction.
If his companions were harmed because of him...
He couldn't accept such a result.
“If I knew the outcome beforehand, maybe I could avoid it.”
Dan Heng was lost in his own misery.
On the other hand, March 7th seemed completely oblivious.
She excitedly checked her summoning results.
Star watched eagerly from the side.
“It should be the next pull!”
“Ready?”
March 7th nodded vigorously.
With a tap of her finger.
Five golden stars appeared!
The background pattern depicted the [Knowledge] element.
March 7th recognized it instantly.
She was overcome with excitement!
“Knowledge! It's Knowledge!”
“Out of the seven five-star characters, only Aunt Himeko is Knowledge!”
“I got Himeko!”
Sitting on the sofa, Himeko glanced at March 7th with a sigh.
She muttered to herself: “What a strange statement.”
The light faded.
The result revealed Himeko, indeed.
But not the [Himeko] character.
Instead, it was a five-star Light Cone – [Night of the Silver Train].
In the image, Himeko sat casually on the train's roof, her white dress pressed down beneath her.
Her long red hair flowed freely.
She stared intently at the starry sky.
Stars left circular trails in the galaxy.
“Whoa～”
March 7th leaned towards the screen, as if she wanted to step inside.
“It's Aunt Himeko's exclusive Light Cone!”
“So pretty…”
Star nodded in agreement: “This is a win!”
“But... I don't have Himeko yet. I think this Light Cone only suits Aunt Himeko…”
“Oh, I understand! This is the developer's trick!”
“They give me an exclusive Light Cone first, then force me to whale for the character!”
“Darn it! Even though I've figured it out, I still can't help but want to top up!”
At that moment.
Himeko came over and reminded them: “The new storyline is starting, do you two want to come and watch?”
“Yes!”
March 7th and Star replied in unison.
They immediately put away their phones.
Everyone lined up on the sofa, including Welt, and began to watch the new storyline attentively.
First to appear was Welt.
“All passengers! The jump point navigation conference will now commence!”
“First, Welt would like to thank all the nameless guests for resolving the problem at this station, allowing the train to continue its journey on the Stellar Path!”
“Next, this Train Captain will announce the name of the next stop—”
Just as everyone held their breath, waiting for Welt to utter the name.
On the screen.
A woman's holographic projection suddenly appeared.
She held a black umbrella with one hand.
Her delicate face, adorned with a faint smile, peeked from under the umbrella brim.
“Long time no see, everyone on the Astral Express.”
“I am Kafka.”
“Ah, good timing. You're all here—well, almost all of you.”
She walked past them, still holding her umbrella.
“A charming self-introduction isn't necessary, Star Nucleus Hunter.” Himeko stared at Kafka with an unfriendly gaze.
Kafka didn't mind, and simply smiled slightly: “Himeko, right?”
“I apologize for interrupting your gathering, but I believe you'll understand my intrusion after hearing my request.”
“I need you all to… change your destination.”
“You've come to the wrong place, Kafka. We don't intend to grant your request, nor do we wish to have anything to do with the Star Nucleus Hunters. It's a pleasure to chat with you. Maybe you'll visit in person one day, and we can talk then.” Himeko's presence was equally powerful.
Kafka smiled faintly: “Everyone, have you heard of [Lofu]?”
Watching this scene.
Inside the carriage.
Everyone had a different expression on their faces.
The live stream content was directly projected within the carriage, and the current scene was taking place right inside the sightseeing carriage.
It made it feel like the game was happening in real life.
Fortunately, the game had subtitles.
This effectively distinguished it from reality.
March 7th exclaimed: “It's that woman!”
“And she's asking us to change destinations… We won't really listen to her and go to Lufu, will we?”
“I don't want to be led by her nose!”
Welt also stood up from the sofa immediately: “March 7th Passenger is right!”
“Star Nucleus Hunters are dangerous, and the [Feathers of Heaven] are no less so.”
“Welt's recommendation is—we stick with our original choice, and head straight to Pinocchio!”
Seeing the Train Captain on her side, March 7th became even more resolute.
“If Kafka really appears on our train like in the story…”
“I-I'll have to give her a taste of my bat first!”
Star: “Why do you feel like you're stealing my line?”
Just then.
Particle effects suddenly flickered at the other end of the carriage.
A holographic projection appeared in everyone's sight.
And it was none other than Kafka!
Along with the game's live stream projection.
There were now two Kafkas in the carriage!
They stood facing each other like mirrors.
March 7th was speechless.
She had just boasted, and now the real Kafka had arrived!
This was insane!
Star looked left and right.
She licked her lips slightly.
“Two Kafkas? Two Mommas!”
“Double the joy!”
