Chapter 83

Upon hearing Lin Qi say he was taking her to the Astral Express, Seele's whole spirit lifted; she didn't say she was bored anymore and was radiant.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qi found it even more amusing.

It could only be said...

Even if she was piloting an Apostle Mech and had one in a billion strength in the universe, a child was still a child.

Strength couldn't make her mature; she still needed some experience.

"Let's go."

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

When Seele heard this, she quickly followed behind Lin Qi.

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

After coming out from the other side of the door, it was indeed a giant spaceport, its scale 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 primitive, and some even had "sails."

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

And some didn't have a metal shell at all, but instead looked 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 was the "steam" train.

It was simply a bit unbelievable.

Could a train really be driven into space?

In fact, not only could it.

The star rail connecting 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 searched for its whereabouts; in fact, its whereabouts weren't hard to find.

The place where it finally stranded hadn't been cut off from the universe.

After all, wherever the Astral Express drove, that place would be connected to other places; even if it finally stranded, this authority still took effect.

But those who found the Astral Express, without exception, couldn't 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've 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'll be treated as a thief and then be severely taught a lesson by the conductor, who has unfathomable strength, has lived for countless years, and dares to scold even Aeons," Lin Qi replied.

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

Lin Qi was speechless.

So you really wanted to climb through the window?

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

Not long after.

The closed train door opened.

Coming into view was a tall woman in a white dress with red hair; her beauty and figure went without saying, and 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...

Hmm?

Seele looked up and found something wrong.

Why did it feel like there was a problem?

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

"What do you mean Seele has no surname? Commander, my name is just Seele!"

Seele was 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 passenger who loves peace, 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.

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

As for danger or anything...

How should he put it, in all likelihood, there wasn't any.

The Astral Express itself was in the Good-Lawful alignment; if you really wanted 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 took a look at the contents of the cup.

Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't help but have a head full of question marks at this moment.

Was this unidentified brown substance, which looked like a solid or more like a non-Newtonian fluid, really coffee?

Lin Qi was a bit confused.

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

"Wow!"

"Is this coffee? I've only seen it in videotapes in the Underworld before. How come it looks different from what's shown in the movies?"

Seele's tone was suspicious.

Before Himeko could explain, Lin Qi spoke first.

"The videotapes you watched are at least 700-year-old restored versions; the movies inside might date back thousands of years. Technology is advancing, and the times are developing. Even coffee can't remain unchanged!"

"The Doctor really understands me! This insight speaks right to my heart! The Doctor is right; coffee can't 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, his heart already surging with stormy waves.

Damn!

Is this innovation too damn new?

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

No wonder this thing, which could barely be called a liquid, was so strange.

It really was added with technology and hard work!

On the other side.

Seele, the Miss-No-Surname, was already stunned.

Damn!

Is it that amazing?

Then this cup of coffee must be delicious!

Lin Qi glanced at Seele, and he knew what was going on in his heart.

He spoke up.

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

"Thank you, Commander."
