Chapter 103

Upon hearing Lin Qi say he was going to take her to the Astral Express, Seele's whole spirit lifted; she didn't say she was bored anymore and was full of energy.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qi found it even funnier.

It can only be said...

Even with the Apostle mecha and having one-billionth of the strength of the universe, a child is still a child.

Strength cannot make her mature; she still needs some experience.

"Let's go."

"If we are any later, the Astral Express might have departed, and the Anywhere Door won't be able to reach it."

Upon hearing this, Seele quickly followed behind Lin Qi.

Then, while looking at the Anywhere Door, she stepped across from this side of the door.

After coming out from the other side of the door, it was indeed a giant spaceport, whose scale was no smaller than the completed Dyson ring.

And what was even more shocking than the current Jarilo was that countless spaceships were docked here.

There were all kinds of styles; some were very archaic, and some even had "sails."

Some were very high-tech and looked expensive at a glance.

And some didn't look like they had a metal shell at all, but rather like a living creature; if you observed carefully, you could even find that this living ship seemed to have a pulse.

Of course.

The most magical one was the "steam" train.

It was simply a bit unbelievable.

Can a train really be driven into space?

In fact, not only can it.

The star rail that connects the entire universe was also laid by it.

At this moment.

Not only was the young girl looking at the train, but Lin Qi was naturally doing the same.

After the Astral Express was stranded, it wasn't that no one had looked for its whereabouts; in fact, its whereabouts were not hard to find.

The place where it finally stranded also didn't cut off from the universe.

After all, wherever the Astral Express goes, that place will connect with other places; even if it finally stranded, this authority still took effect.

But those who found the Astral Express, without exception, failed to restart it.

Lin Qi didn't know the specific reason.

But he thought it had to do with the Path of Trailblaze.

Perhaps...

It wasn't just people looking for the train; the train was also looking for people.

Lin Qi thought to himself.

"Commander, are we just going up like this?"

Seele saw Lin Qi walking straight toward the train and was a bit stunned.

"Otherwise? Or should I follow your habit and climb in through the window?" Lin Qi teased, "Anyway, I have already submitted a boarding application, and the navigator and the conductor have both agreed, saying they would treat me as a VIP. If you climb through the window, maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

Seele couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe you would be treated as a thief, and then be severely taught a lesson by the conductor, whose strength is unfathomable, who has lived for countless years, and who even dares to lecture Aeons." Lin Qi replied.

"Then I'd better take the door." Seele couldn't help but shiver.

Lin Qi was speechless.

You really wanted to climb through the window, didn't you?

Without teasing her further, Lin Qi sent a message to the navigator.

Not long after.

The closed train door opened.

What came into view was a tall woman in a white dress with red hair; her beauty and figure went without saying; no matter where she was placed, she could attract a lot of attention.

At this moment.

This woman had a smile on her face, looking outside the train, with eyes carrying...

Huh?

Seele looked up and found something wrong.

Why does it feel like there's a problem?

"Ms. Himeko, thank you for agreeing to my boarding application; this is my subordinate, Seele... no surname." Lin Qi introduced.

"What Seele has no surname, Commander, my name is just Seele!"

Seele was a bit speechless; she was still scouting the navigator in front of her when she was introduced like that by the Commander.

Although she really didn't have a surname.

"Dr. Lin Qi, the Astral Express welcomes every peace-loving passenger, let alone someone like the Doctor who has made outstanding contributions to the universe." Himeko smiled.

Saying this.

Himeko made a gesture of invitation, inviting the two to board the train.

Lin Qi didn't stand on ceremony and walked up directly.

As for danger or anything...

How should I put it, the probability is zero.

The Astral Express itself is in the Good-Orderly alignment; if you really want to talk about danger, you'd better be careful...

"You two, this is coffee I brewed myself; it's the best for refreshing the mind and washing away the fatigue of the journey."

After the two sat down, Himeko brought over two cups of coffee and placed them in front of them.

Lin Qi glanced at the contents of the cup.

Even though he was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but be full of question marks at this moment.

Is it certain that this lump of unknown brown substance that looks like a solid, or rather more like a non-Newtonian fluid, can be called coffee?

Lin Qi was a bit confused.

But before he could speak, the young girl beside him let out an exclamation.

"Wow!"

"Is this coffee? I've only seen it in videotapes from the Underworld before; why does it seem different from what was shown in the film?"

Seele's tone was suspicious.

Before Himeko could explain, Lin Qi spoke first.

"The videotapes you watched are at least 700-year-old antique restored versions; the films inside might date back thousands of years. Technology is advancing, and the times are developing; even coffee cannot remain unchanged!"

"The Doctor understands me best! This insight really speaks to my heart! The Doctor is right; coffee cannot remain unchanged, so I boldly added some innovations, such as using a molecular saw to grind the coffee beans more finely, and using other technical means to make it reach a supersaturated state..."

Himeko introduced her coffee to Lin Qi very happily.

It seemed she had finally found a soulmate.

Lin Qi put down the coffee calmly, but his heart was already surging with stormy waves.

Damn!

Is this innovation too damn new?

Using a molecular saw to grind coffee beans? They've been ground into molecular-state powder; can there still be a coffee taste?

No wonder this thing that can barely be called a liquid is so strange.

It really is full of technology and ruthless work!

On the other side.

Seele, the Miss No Surname, was already stunned.

Damn!

Is it that powerful?

Then this cup of coffee must be delicious!

Lin Qi glanced at Seele, and he immediately knew what was going on.

He spoke.

"Seele, you drink my cup of coffee. I have an important experiment to do recently, and I must adjust my state well; I cannot ingest too much caffeine. This is Ms. Himeko's kind intention; don't waste it."

"Thank you, Commander."
