Chapter 105

On the other side.

Seele finally understood what was going on with the look Himeko gave the Commander before boarding the train.

Recalling the scenes on TV, Seele understood.

That is "worship"!

Just like a fan seeing an idol.

Just like the Jarilo people seeing the "sun."

So the navigator worships the Commander.

The Commander is really amazing.

Seele thought to herself.

On the other side.

Lin Qi was a bit confused, "The train's fuel is not some ordinary energy, right?"

After Himeko adjusted her mood, she explained.

"Yes, it consumes Trailblazing power, and it is consumed every moment. Even when docked, it is the same. Only by constantly Trailblazing and going to one world after another can we obtain Trailblazing power and maintain operation."

"I see."

Lin Qi nodded, a bit surprised.

Because this way of obtaining fuel can no longer be explained by common sense, but involves rules.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being an Aeon's creation.

"Then wouldn't it be fine to just keep Trailblazing? Hearing Ms. Himeko say this, obtaining fuel doesn't seem to have any difficulty?" Seele asked suspiciously.

Before Himeko could explain, Lin Qi stated his own thoughts.

"I'm afraid only in peaceful times can one keep Trailblazing. The current universe is not peaceful; there are too many accidents that will cause the voyage to be suspended."

"As expected of the Doctor, you hit the nail on the head."

Himeko sighed, "Since warping over last week, the train has been docked here, unable to head to the next stop."

"Because of the Antimatter Legion?" Lin Qi saw this news on the broadcast.

"Yes!" Himeko nodded, "An Antimatter Legion Lord Ravager is wreaking havoc in the nearby star sector, causing the imaginary domain here to be affected, so we can't warp for the time being; we have to wait for it to stabilize."

"Then there's really no way; even if you wipe out that Lord Ravager, I'm afraid you won't be able to set sail immediately." Lin Qi replied.

Wipe out the Lord Ravager?

He really dares to think!

But considering the thing Lin Qi caused a few years ago that shocked the universe, it didn't seem hard to accept.

After all, Lin Qi might really have this strength.

Thinking of this, Himeko's eyes drifted; there was something she really wanted to say, but didn't know how to bring it up.

Because it was indeed very presumptuous.

But if she didn't speak up, the Astral Express's trouble might not be just this once.

The Antimatter Legion is indeed something no one can do anything about.

But in the universe, there are also behemoths, swarms, and other natural and man-made disasters.

Some can be avoided, such as by planning warp routes in advance, which is also what she needs to do as a navigator.

Some are really helpless.

For example, after warping over, a behemoth appears in your face; what can she do? She is also desperate.

She can't exactly wield a molecular saw and go up to fight the behemoth.

This is not realistic.

Himeko has a clear understanding of her own strength.

A few years earlier, she was still a college student.

Where had she experienced these things?

And even the portable satellite in the toolbox has limited power.

After much consideration, Himeko still spoke.

"Doctor, I don't know where you are planning to go next? If it's on the way, the train can give you a ride."

Himeko said this, but she had actually already made plans in her heart.

Wherever Lin Qi's destination is, the train will Trailblaze toward that direction next.

That way, it will be 100% on the way.

But unexpectedly, Seele's answer made her freeze on the spot.

"No destination."

"Ah?"

"There really is no destination; the Commander and I have been wandering in this star sector for almost a month." Seele said as a matter of course.

"How many times do I have to say it, this is called Hunting, not wandering." Lin Qi sighed and said again, "The goal is to solve the interstellar pirates harassing Jarilo merchant ships. But since three months ago, we haven't seen large-scale pirates; they are all small fry."

"I see."

Himeko nodded, a little disappointed.

Although what she thought in her heart was that traveling on the same train as Lin Qi would make the journey much safer.

But actually, there were other little thoughts.

For example...

She could ask Lin Qi for some knowledge.

Although she originally had inspiration for her portable satellite, after coming into contact with the textbooks written by Lin Qi, she completely overturned her initial design draft and redesigned it according to Lin Qi's textbooks.

The portable satellite designed in the end was a big step up in terms of agility, portability, and power.

Besides that, she also gained other knowledge from Lin Qi's textbooks, which gave her a lot of insights.

Therefore, she actually always wanted to see Lin Qi.

Not only to ask for knowledge, but also to see the... idol in her heart?

Therefore.

When she received Lin Qi's message, she couldn't be more excited.

It's just a pity...

Her little thoughts seemed unable to be realized.

Just at this moment.

Lin Qi suddenly spoke, "Ms. Himeko, this Hunting operation ended faster than I expected; the fleet's mission afterwards is nothing more than escorting, which I won't participate in anymore, so I do indeed have a next destination."

"Please tell me."

Himeko's mouth revealed a smile, and her mood brightened again.

"Penacony." Lin Qi said, "But I'm not in such a hurry; before going there, I can ride for a few more days, um... by the way, study Trailblazing? I don't know if Ms. Himeko welcomes it?"

"Of course!"

Himeko nodded without hesitation and smiled, "This is the meaning of the Astral Express setting sail, sending passengers from various places to one place after another; maybe after you experience it, Doctor, you will become a Trailblazer!"

"A Trailblazer?"

Lin Qi paused; the system just sent a notification.

Influence points have risen quite a bit.

Obviously.

His behavior of joining the Astral Express this time will have a far-reaching impact.

Considering that the Astral Express will not always have only Himeko, there will definitely be other Trailblazers, and these Trailblazers will undoubtedly be plot characters.

In other words, as long as he continues to stay here, he might be able to obtain points all the time.

Honestly.

There were a few moments when Lin Qi really wanted to join.

At this moment.

Seeing Lin Qi really thinking, Himeko's heart beat very fast, second only to the time she repaired the Astral Express.

Could it be that the Doctor really wants to become a Trailblazer?

She just said it casually.

Happiness came too suddenly.

Just at this moment.
