Chapter 107

Once he thought of this.

Lin Qi gave up the idea that had just arisen.

Instead, he instructed.

"Seele, I am very gratified that you care about Jarilo, but since you have become a Trailblazer, you must perform well, you know? You represent the face of Jarilo."

"Mm, alright." Seele nodded seriously.

Obviously, she also realized this.

But when out and about, there will always be troubles that can't be solved, right? What should she do then?

Seele asked this doubt.

"Commander, what if I encounter something I can't beat?"

"Miss Seele, as the navigator, I will try my best to take the train on the safest route, so don't worry about that." Himeko replied.

Actually, it's not just Seele who is worried; isn't she the same?

If she encounters similar events a few more times, the train's fuel might really be exhausted.

That would be troublesome then.

At this time, Lin Qi spoke, "If you really encounter trouble you can't solve, then you... call the fleet."

Call the fleet?

That is, request support from Jarilo?

Hearing Lin Qi's answer, Seele felt relieved.

With Lin Qi supporting from behind.

I think...

There won't be any trouble that can't be solved, right?

As long as it's not an Aeon taking action.

However, sailing in the universe usually sets aside the factors of Aeons; this is force majeure.

On the other side.

Himeko was also surprised by Lin Qi's promise, and even a bit grateful.

Don't look at the fact that she made the Astral Express set sail again, attracting the attention of many factions in the universe, but in fact, she is under great pressure.

As a college student who hadn't graduated long ago, although her coursework was excellent and her talent was outstanding, she was actually a newcomer.

She didn't have much experience at all.

Sailing for more than a year, she had encountered all kinds of people; it wasn't that she hadn't met those who wanted to become Trailblazers, but they didn't succeed in the end.

Because these people, without exception, had ulterior motives.

Either targeting the train.

Or targeting her personally.

Therefore.

Although the Astral Express has had many passengers coming and going, the real train members are still only Himeko.

Himeko has also been under considerable pressure because of this.

Right now, hearing Lin Qi's promise, it was like having something to rely on for her, and the pressure suddenly decreased sharply.

As for whether Lin Qi has the ability to fulfill the promise...

Just kidding.

If Lin Qi couldn't complete it, then there wouldn't be many factions in the universe that could do it.

For a time.

Himeko's look at Lin Qi became increasingly complex.

Besides the worship that was already there, there were some other feelings added.

She must seize the time when Lin Qi is still on the Astral Express to spend more time together.

On the other side.

For Lin Qi, it was just a promise, and it didn't actually cost much.

By comparison.

The return would only be more.

Let alone whether the Astral Express, as the protagonist of the story, will really encounter an unsolvable crisis that requires him to save the day.

Even if there really is one, Lin Qi is willing to help.

Nothing else, even just for the influence points, he has to take action; otherwise, where would he find a group of plot characters?

If you miss this train, there won't be a second one.

Just like this.

Lin Qi temporarily stayed on the Astral Express as a passenger.

Seele was there as a Trailblazer.

The two also received two different tickets; Lin Qi's was silver, and Seele's was gold.

Speaking of which, this ticket is also quite magical; the material is very special and almost cannot be damaged.

At least...

On the train, it is like this.

Lin Qi guessed that it might be the train's Trailblazing divine power playing a role, as some kind of proof.

Once off the train, it might lose its effect and no longer be special.

Therefore.

Just after studying it, Lin Qi didn't pay attention to it anymore, but put it away.

Instead, he began to study the train itself.

Obviously.

The Astral Express has more research value than a ticket.

As for whether it can be studied...

"Doctor, regarding this part of the train, do you see any other places that need improvement?"

On the second day of staying on the train, Himeko came over with a stack of drawings under the pretext of asking for advice and asked Lin Qi.

"Where? Let me see." Lin Qi took the drawings and looked at them.

Then, after looking at them twice, he began to answer.

Soon.

One problem was solved.

Himeko nodded in sudden realization, her tone admiring, "Oh, so that's how it is! As expected of the Doctor, you optimized my plan so much in one go."

After finishing.

She pointed to the next place and continued to ask.

It's just that this time, the place she was asking about was closer to her side of the body, rather than Lin Qi's side.

But the whole drawing was large and had already been fully unfolded; a table couldn't even hold it.

If Lin Qi wanted to see the place she was pointing at, he would either have to turn the drawing over or... lean his whole body toward Himeko.

Lin Qi, as a gentleman, naturally couldn't do such a thing.

But before he could make a move, Himeko, while brushing her red hair aside, leaned toward him with the drawing.

"It's right here." Himeko pointed at the drawing.

"Oh, here." Lin Qi thought for a while before starting to answer.

But he wasn't actually thinking about the train, but about the red-haired woman beside him.

She's doing this on purpose, right?

Using this to test me?

At this moment.

Himeko leaned half her body over, not only carrying a faint fragrance, but the key was that she was also committing a foul.

On a basketball court, you'd be sent off for charging with the ball, right?

But this is a train; no one can give her a red card.

Only Seele, who was eating pastries prepared by the conductor, had a weird expression.

As someone from the Underworld, she knew that there is a technology in the universe called "holographic projection," which can display all parts of the train in all directions; if you can't see something clearly, just zoom in, and details won't be lost.
