Chapter 125

"You guys came quite early; have you been waiting for a while?" Lin Qi asked.

"Hmm... not long, actually it's mainly Robin; once she thought about going on a long trip today, she wouldn't stay at home for a moment longer," Sunday sighed.

"Children are like that; seeing more of the world will be fine. Being locked in a cage all the time, not knowing the dangers outside, only makes them yearn for the outside more, until they fall into a big pit after going out," Lin Qi comforted.

In Lin Qi's view, Robin was indeed a child.

After all, she was only in her teens, and her thinking and other aspects were still quite naive.

On the other side.

Robin didn't speak, but the little face under the mask had already slumped.

Showing she was somewhat unhappy.

Lin Qi and Sunday were talking about her without avoiding her at all?

A bit too much.

Besides, how was she a child?

Truly too much.

Going out this time, she had to achieve some results, and absolutely couldn't let these two treat her as a child again.

With such thoughts, Robin finally said goodbye to Sunday and agreed to communicate by letter every once in a while to report that she was safe.

Regarding this.

Lin Qi only felt puzzled.

Did Penacony not have access to the interstellar network, or was there no long-distance communication?

Actually needing to use letters to communicate?

Can only say this brother and sister were still quite retro sometimes.

Lin Qi could only think so.

As for where the next stop was after leaving Penacony, Lin Qi hadn't actually decided yet.

He was considering whether to go home or go somewhere else to wander around.

During the voyage, Robin came over to ask at mealtime several times, but Lin Qi didn't give her a definite answer.

Just said she would know in a while.

Making Robin so angry she ate half a bowl less rice.

Come to think of it.

Lin Qi's spaceship, although a strange environment for Robin, she adapted to it in just a few days.

First of all, there weren't many people here; what she could usually come into contact with were basically smart devices.

This meant she didn't have to hide her identity.

After all, the name of a big singer was still quite inconvenient when going out.

Easy to be recognized.

Then there was the food here, which was also particularly delicious.

On the first day she arrived, she couldn't help but eat half as much again as usual.

The following days were the same.

This point was enough to show how angry she was to have eaten half a bowl less because she was angry.

Finally, there was the overall environment, which made her feel particularly at ease.

It was as if she had left Penacony, but hadn't completely left.

The key was that the guest room she was staying in now also had a very Penacony style; if it weren't for the lack of a dream pool inside, she would have almost thought she could enter a dream directly.

In short.

After leaving Penacony, the imagined discomfort didn't appear; on the contrary, she was very accustomed to it.

The only problem was that Lin Qi hadn't told her where the destination was.

"Really, the Doctor must treat me as a child!"

Robin couldn't help but complain.

But if she were to get off the ship now, she would be truly terrified.

Mainly, could she still be this adapted after leaving here?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

On the other side.

Lin Qi didn't know what Robin was thinking.

But he basically understood the reason she felt at ease.

Very simple.

Because the entire spaceship was a mobile little "Penacony," and the countless Memetic substances salvaged formed one dream after another, or rather, mental spaces, in the grotto-heaven of the spaceship.

In this situation, how could she not feel at ease?

It's just like going home.

However, right now, Lin Qi really didn't have the energy to care about a little girl's thoughts.

He was processing information.

Being away for a long time and always being a hands-off manager wouldn't work.

Some things still needed to be looked over.

Until the official business was processed, Lin Qi opened the chat interface.

【Seele: Commander, let me tell you, that new guy on the train, Void Archives, is so annoying! And he likes to tell jokes, but they're cold jokes, colder than the cold wave of Belobog! At first, I thought only I didn't like him, but it turns out Ms. Himeko couldn't stand him either; he even teased Conductor Pom-Pom, and it was several times, and you didn't see it, hmm... well, I didn't see much either, anyway, after Conductor Pom-Pom got angry, that Void Archives disappeared, he must have gotten off the train, right? Wish him luck, never see him again! Hahaha!】

Void Archives was kicked off the train?

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment.

How long had it been?

The speed was a bit too fast.

But thinking about it, it made sense; who shouldn't he have provoked, but he provoked Pom-Pom, and on the Express at that.

Lin Qi smiled and replied.

【Wonders in the Forest: Now you know how powerful the Conductor is, right? I remember you seemed to want to get a life-size doll of the Conductor before? Also, still need to read more books; you got the name Void Archives wrong.】

After replying, Lin Qi looked at the next message.

Also from the Express.

【Himeko: How was it on Penacony? Was it fun there? After you got off the train, the Express explored three more planets. Hmm, these three planets didn't encounter any danger, but with the equipment you and Seele left behind, it seems there's no danger that can stump the Express. Whenever you have time and want to board the Express, remember to tell me in advance, and I can change the route.】

Change the route?

A bit too grand, right?

Lin Qi couldn't help but exclaim.

However, Himeko was ultimately different from Seele; Seele would only pick fun things, or things that made her unhappy, to talk about.

For example, Void Archives was the focus recently.

Himeko was different; she was clearly much more mature, and she didn't mention irrelevant things at all, but rather seemed to be reporting that she was safe.

At the same time, she also expressed the idea of wanting to invite Lin Qi to board the train.

It's a pity Lin Qi didn't have that much free time.

Lin Qi thought about it and replied anyway.

【Wonders in the Forest: It's good there's no danger, but don't be too careless; the Express's power is indeed not weak now, but after leaving the Express, dealing with Emanators is still a bit difficult. Still need to find a way to utilize the power of the Trailblaze; as a navigator, not to mention becoming an Emanator of Trailblaze, you should at least be a relatively strong Pathstrider, right? Also, after I have a plan to visit the Express again, I will tell you in advance, don't worry.】

【Himeko: Is that so? Then Seele, the Conductor, and I will wait for the Doctor's arrival.】

【Wonders in the Forest: Replied quite fast, looks like you're not checking the Express equipment, nor are you sawing coffee.】

【Himeko: Hmm, just browsing information, looking at nearby star systems to see where there are more unsettling factors, and then choosing a suitable route.】

【Wonders in the Forest: I see, take more rest, and... drink less coffee.】

【Himeko: Got it.】

Lin Qi had just finished chatting with Himeko when Seele replied.

【Seele: Commander, big trouble! Ms. Himeko, for some reason, suddenly became addicted to electronic devices and has been playing on the sofa for almost a whole day!】

【Wonders in the Forest:...】

【Wonders in the Forest: Don't worry, if there are no accidents, Himeko won't be scrolling on her phone anymore.】

【Seele: Is that so?】
