Chapter 16: Rare items! Light Cones!

【During the exchange, Arlan mentioned that Asta should have given them a card, which was the key to unlocking the elevator, but March suddenly remembered in a daze that she seemed to have forgotten where she put it.】

【Following Dan Heng looked at March 7th helplessly, and March 7th began to search around in her pockets in a panic, finally, she surprisingly found it.】

【Following Dan Heng held his forehead: "I, I rely on..."】

【Finally, that voice was a bit small, but almost anyone could hear it.】

The screen in the game went black, and not long after, Silver Wolf switched the character to March 7th; it could be seen that she also liked this little girl very much.

【March 7th ran, and Arlan told them that they could unlock the console as long as they used the key; Following Dan Heng and the others were about to leave, but Arlan said he only opened the elevator on the upper level and said they absolutely must not let the Antimatter Legion enter the Master Control Zone, to ensure the safety of the staff members.】

Outside the game, after watching this screen, everyone was a bit moved.

"Arlan is still so responsible!" A staff member who knew Arlan sighed.

"That's indeed the case!" Another staff member nearby also said: "Arlan is always so serious and careful."

"But did the Antimatter Legion actually attack from below?"

"It's the same as this time!"

Asta thought for a moment, frowned, and said: "It seems the security system needs to be strengthened; otherwise, relying on the current defense means, we definitely wouldn't be able to block the Legion's offensive."

The space station's own security means were too few, and what they could do was only rely on the Master Control Zone, while the arrival of the Antimatter Legion was almost random.

It wouldn't be easy to consider the problem when that time really came.

"That's right, I'll find a way." Herta also nodded.

She also thought that the defense system this time was truly too poor; it didn't even consider that the Antimatter Legion had invaded to such a deep level, which was truly worrying.

"But the space station's defense system should be first-class, right?" Asta asked.

"You call this level of defense system first-class?" Silver Wolf's voice came from the screen.

Herta couldn't help but utter such a sentence after hearing this.

"... Alright, it really doesn't count for much in front of you." Herta couldn't say anything else in the face of Silver Wolf's mockery.

After all, Silver Wolf's technical means were there, so it was impossible to defend against her.

But the fact that they couldn't defend against the Antimatter Legion was very dissatisfying to them; such a defense system couldn't make the space station's staff members feel at ease to do research.

【In the screen, March 7th's voice said: "What do you mean by everyone, aren't you coming together?"】

【Before, Arlan intended to let March 7th and the others continue forward, while he stayed behind.】

【But this move was refused by Following Dan Heng; he simply persuaded Arlan that returning to the Master Control Zone could also continue to control the elevator authority.】

【March 7th echoed the other party's words, and Arlan finally agreed to them.】

【Then, they ran forward together; after passing through a corridor and stairs, Following Dan Heng saw that the Repulsion Bridge was closed, and Arlan indicated that this could delay the enemy for a while longer.】

【The screen changed, they entered a new cabin, and then saw crystal-bright Light Cones.】

【March 7th said curiously: "Hey, aren't these Light Cones?" Aren't these rare items that only the Interastral Peace Corporation has?】

【Following Dan Heng said: "No, Light Cones are the technology of the Garden of Recollection; because they can carry memories with them, they are very powerful reinforcement-type Curios. It is said that the Corporation spent a lot of money to buy the usage rights—but how Herta got her hands on them, it's hard to say."】

Everyone's gaze unified toward the screen; at some point, a Herta puppet stood nearby.

When did Ms. Herta come here?

"So, how did Ms. Herta get these things?" A staff member asked his companion in a low voice.

"How would I know." The companion said helplessly: "If you have the ability, ask loudly?"

"I don't want to!"

The staff member answered.

But for others, this was indeed a curious thing, and Herta also noticed everyone's gaze.

"This, it's my personal secret!"

Herta snorted and then walked toward this side.

This puppet was sent here specifically by her to watch the fun, so now it was truly very useful.

But this game exposed her treasures; this was not good!

"Light Cones, these things are rare items; Ms. Herta, you probably have quite a few, right?" Silver Wolf's voice asked.

"Why, do you want them too?" Herta asked.

"I'm not interested!" Silver Wolf immediately denied this sentence.

But for other things, everything now was indeed very worthy of attention.

Because Light Cones were indeed things that were very valuable throughout the universe.

"Alright, then let's continue watching!"

【Arlan also mentioned the origin of these few Light Cones, and mentioned that the origin was legitimate, but Arlan didn't say much about how they came to be.】

【The protagonist accepted the Light Cones; Silver Wolf didn't tap to look at the Light Cones in time, but continued.】

【The protagonist's group continued to walk forward; just as March 7th sighed that their journey had been relatively smooth, a phantom suddenly appeared nearby.】

【A powerful attack came toward Following Dan Heng and the others, but was blocked by Following Dan Heng.】

【It was a monster of the Antimatter Legion!】

【The Legion's monsters almost covered the sky like a mountain, and just at this critical moment, something appeared quickly.】

【It "swished" and spun around, solving all the Antimatter Legion monsters.】

【Then, a red-haired figure appeared in front of them.】

【March couldn't help but sigh: "Himeko, you should have come earlier! That last batch of Antimatter Legion was like locusts. I use a bow, it's so troublesome to fight."】

Everyone showed a look of relaxation, and then Arlan couldn't help but be surprised: "Is it actually Ms. Himeko? It's not unexpected."

"Himeko's strength is not ordinary; if she fired a cannon here... hiss! My space station would be finished!" Herta couldn't help but gasp.

She didn't ignore Himeko's words; this group of people from the Astral Express was led by Himeko, and even where the train went depended on her.

So...

"I hope Himeko holds back..." Herta couldn't help but say in a low voice.

Otherwise, the money she would spend repairing the space station would be more than ordinary.
