Chapter 85

On the other side.

Seele finally knew what was going on with Himeko's look at the Commander before boarding the train.

Recalling the scenes in the TV, Seele understood.

That was "worship"!

Just like a fan seeing an idol.

Just like 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 isn't just some ordinary energy, right?"

After Himeko adjusted her mood, she explained.

"Yes, it consumes Trailblazing power, and it consumes it every moment. Even when docked, it's 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 couldn't be explained by common sense; it involved rules.

It could only be said that it was 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 voiced 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 interrupted."

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

Himeko sighed, "After warping here last week, the train has been docked here and hasn't been able to head to the next stop."

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

"Yes!" Himeko nodded, "An Antimatter Legion Lord Ravager is wreaking havoc in the nearby star sector, causing the Imaginary fixed 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?

You really dare 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, and 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 trouble for the Astral Express might not just be this one time.

The Antimatter Legion was indeed something no one could do anything about.

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

Some could be avoided, such as by planning warp routes in advance, which was also what she had to do as a navigator.

Some were really helpless.

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

You can't just twist a molecular saw and go up to fight the behemoth.

This is not realistic.

Himeko had a clear understanding of her own strength.

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

Where had she experienced these things?

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

After thinking about it, Himeko still spoke up.

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

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

Wherever Lin Qi's destination was, the train's next stop would be Trailblazing there.

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

But who would have thought that Seele's answer would make her stunned 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 have I said it, this is called Hunting, not wandering," Lin Qi sighed and said again, "The purpose is to solve the interstellar pirates harassing Jarilo merchant ships. But since three months ago, I haven't seen any large-scale pirates; they're all small fry."

"I see."

Himeko nodded, a little disappointed.

Although she thought in her heart that riding the train with Lin Qi would increase the safety of the journey quite a bit.

But in fact, there were other little thoughts.

For example...

She could ask Lin Qi for some knowledge.

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

Finally, the designed portable satellite, whether it was agility, portability, or power, had all improved by a large margin.

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

Therefore, she actually always wanted to see Lin Qi.

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

So.

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 achieved.

Just at this moment.

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

"Please tell me."

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

"Penacony," Lin Qi said, "But I'm not that anxious. 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 me?"

"Of course!"

Himeko nodded without hesitation and smiled, "This was originally the meaning of the Astral Express setting sail, to send 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 prompt.

Influence points had risen quite a bit.

Clearly.

His behavior of joining the Astral Express this time would have far-reaching influence.

Considering that the Astral Express wouldn't always have only Himeko, there would definitely be other Trailblazers, and these Trailblazers would undoubtedly be plot characters.

In other words, as long as he stayed here, he might be able to gain points continuously.

Seriously.

For a few moments, 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 was just saying it casually.

Happiness came too suddenly.

Just at this moment.
