Chapter 271

What an amazing figure.

Then even if there's no time, there has to be time.

After sending Kafka a definite reply on the communication device.

The Stellaron Hunters' group temporarily departed.

However, after they left.

Lin Qi did not immediately summon the next visitor.

Instead, after a long while, he took out his lance and spent about ten minutes modifying it.

Hmm…

Following his earlier train of thought.

Only then did he have Pela notify the visitor — the Astral Express.

Not long after.

A voice came from outside the meeting hall.

It was a female voice.

Her tone carried obvious disbelief.

"Eh, Seele! How come you seem like a completely different person? When did you ever get this solemn? This doesn't seem like you, Wu!"

"And you! Didn't you say you were going to look for treasure chests? How come you're behaving too? We've passed three trash cans on the way here, and you actually held back without rummaging through a single one? How bizarre!"

"Good thing Himeko-sis is… hmm? Himeko-sis, when did you put on makeup?"

123. Xing: Isn't it just plastering? Leave it to me! March 7th's "despair"

Not long ago.

The Astral Express group received a message.

It said that Jarilo-VI's supreme ruler, Dr. Lin Qi, was prepared to receive them.

Telling them to wait in the VIP room of the Qliporth Fort.

On the way.

March 7th was a little anxious.

Because from the moment they arrived on Jarilo-VI, the scenes and things she had seen kept shaking her worldview over and over.

The camera she carried with her had taken who knows how many photos.

At the same time.

She also felt, again and again from others' mouths, how powerful and miraculous Lin Qi was.

So much so that in her subconscious, she had not even regarded Lin Qi as a mortal, but as a "god."

There was no helping it.

On Jarilo-VI, from the Supreme Guardian above to the lowliest miners below, none did not hold Lin Qi in the highest esteem, regarding him as the "sun."

Walking the streets of Belobog, one could often see statues of Lin Qi, as well as artistically rendered portraits.

Turning on the TV, one could also often catch videos about Lin Qi.

For instance, there was one program that discussed Lin Qi's quotations.

It left March 7th utterly speechless.

Of course.

It wasn't that there were no good programs.

Another example was a program introducing Lin Qi's inventions.

That one greatly interested March 7th.

Then.

It also let her understand even more just how formidable Lin Qi truly was.

So much so that in her mind, Lin Qi had practically been "deified."

Therefore,

On the way here, her feelings had been extremely complicated.

Besides anxiety, there was also anticipation.

This was Jarilo-VI's "god," a genius known throughout the cosmos, an Emanator-level existence!

She could finally see him in person!

But now.

March 7th discovered that her own reaction was actually the mildest.

The other three members of the Express crew.

Each one was more abnormal than the last.

When had Seele ever been this serious? Her expression was solemn like a scholar's.

What about Xing?

This was the first time March 7th had seen her this well-behaved.

Even her most beloved trash cans, she had actually ignored — completely out of character.

One had to know that before, she had treated trash cans as "treasure chests" with a treasure-hunting attitude.

In her own words, don't look down on junk collectors — once she stopped following the Express around everywhere, that is, after she "retired," she was even considering returning to Jarilo-VI to open a recycling station, saying she could earn big bucks.

Regarding this.

March 7th was speechless.

But now, coming all this way, they had passed three trash cans, and Xing hadn't reacted at all — eyes fixed straight ahead, expression solemn as if on a pilgrimage.

The most absurd thing of all was Himeko.

Just as March 7th thought that, as the Astral Express's navigator and one of its earliest members, Himeko should be the most steady and never act strangely.

In fact.

Since March 7th joined the Express, they had encountered many things, big and small, very numerous.

But Himeko had always been calm, as if no difficulty were insurmountable.

This gave March 7th a great sense of security.

Believing that with Himeko present, everything would be fine.

But now.

Even the most steady Himeko was so uncalm.

Himeko did not usually wear no makeup.

March 7th knew this much.

But today's makeup clearly showed effort, not as casual as usual.

That gown was also very wrong; it was too stunning!

Looking again at Himeko's face, why did the blush on her cheeks feel like it wasn't from makeup?

March 7th suddenly understood.

She had thought Himeko was dressed up so elaborately because she took the meeting seriously.

Now it was clear that was not the case at all!

"Great! So I'm the only normal one?"

March 7th was utterly bewildered.

However, her complaint drew no response.

Because...

The conference hall had arrived.

Standing at the main seat was a young man.

He looked nothing special except for being very handsome.

But March 7th knew.

This man before her was the supreme ruler of Belobog.

A figure whose stomping foot would make the universe tremble.

So this is Dr. Lin Qi?

March 7th quietly observed Lin Qi, fearing she might show disrespect and offend the "deity".
