Chapter 495

~11 min read 2,012 words

The player's friend said: "Pom-Pom is really remarkable; for such a long time, batch after batch of Nameless have arrived and left, but Pom-Pom can still maintain its original heart; if we people on the Xianzhou could do this, perhaps the Mara-Struck wouldn't be incurable."

The adult Xianzhou man also sighed deeply and said: "Sigh~ Mr. Welt is right; such meetings and farewells have been experienced by Pom-Pom more times than we can imagine."

The companion beside the Xianzhou man also sighed: "Although it has experienced a lot, Pom-Pom still attaches great importance to the feelings with them."

A player at another table said: "Or rather, for every Nameless who boards the train, Pom-Pom attaches great importance to them."

The Foxian woman nodded and said: "After all, the atmosphere of the Astral Express is really like a big family, whether it's Mikhail and the others in the past, or Himeko, Welt Yang, and the others today."

The Foxian man at another table had a somewhat dim gaze and said sadly: "For such a long time, Pom-Pom has been watching one Nameless after another board the train, leave the train, repeating the cycle, and there is no end; for Pom-Pom, this seems a bit cruel."

The Foxian man's companion nodded and said: "Sigh, that's right, and Pom-Pom cares so much about all the Nameless who board the Astral Express; after so many Amber Eras, how many farewells has Pom-Pom witnessed?"

The adult Xianzhou man had a low gaze and said slowly: "Meetings, farewells, such things, I'm afraid they can't be counted anymore."

The Foxian woman rubbed the corners of her eyes and said softly: "I used to think Pom-Pom was just a cute and simple conductor, but after this time, I feel that Pom-Pom's heart must also be suppressing many unspeakable farewell sorrows."

The Foxian woman's best friend beside her patted the Foxian woman on the shoulder and said: "I think, even so, Pom-Pom probably wouldn't regret it, right? After all, this is 【Trailblazing】, just like Mikhail and the others; although their ending is not perfect, they definitely wouldn't regret their lives; this has already surpassed many people."

【Everyone nodded silently and agreed with Welt Yang's words; leaving this kind of thing to Himeko will definitely not be wrong.】

【However, Stelle suddenly remembered what Pom-Pom said just now and asked curiously: "Pom-Pom said the 【fuel】 is about to run out..."】

【Hearing Stelle's question, Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and nodded: "Although Pom-Pom was more venting its emotions at the time... but what it said is indeed correct."】

【"With Stelle joining as a node, the train spent more time than expected at each subsequent stop. In order to ensure that everyone was complete, Pom-Pom had to postpone the jump schedule again and again."】

【Following Dan Heng suddenly realized: "So that's it... no wonder I often hear Pom-Pom pacing anxiously in the corridor."】

【March 7th also noticed this and sighed: "So the conductor has also been silently paying for us..."】

【Welt Yang nodded slightly and said: "Unlike ordinary vehicles, the Astral Express will convert each 【Trailblazing】 into energy to maintain operation. In an ideal state, as long as the Trailblazing journey is not interrupted, the train can obtain a steady stream of power and move forward continuously like a perpetual motion machine."】

【Speaking of this, Welt Yang sighed softly: "But because of the previous encounters... the fuel consumption is faster than expected; another two jumps might be the limit."】

【March 7th covered her mouth and worried: "Two... isn't that already very dangerous? Ugh, I don't want to become an ice cube drifting in space again!"】

【Stelle smiled and corrected: "It's 【beautiful girl ice cube】."】

【March 7th looked at Stelle upon hearing this and said: "Now that you say that, it seems the scene isn't that bleak?"】

【Subsequently, March 7th corrected her previous words and said in the same tone: "Ugh, I don't want to become a *beautiful girl ice cube* drifting in space again!"】

The livestream room.

"Hahahaha, March 7th is really too cute."

"Ahahaha, laugh to death, it seems March 7th has also recovered now; this is the happy, lively, and cheerful Little March we are familiar with."

"This is the March 7th we are familiar with."

"However, this is the first time we've heard where the Astral Express's energy power comes from."

"That's right, I've always been curious about what the Astral Express uses as energy for jumping and shuttling in the galaxy; now I know."

"However, this answer is also reasonable; although the origin of the Astral Express has always been mysterious, one thing can be confirmed, and that is that it is closely related to the Aeon of 【Trailblazing】, Akivili, and it is reasonable to use the unique energy generated by Trailblazing."

"To be honest, I thought the energy source of the Astral Express was obtained from replenishing supplies at the Herta Space Station."

"There are indeed such small daily routines, but now it seems that the supplies replenished here are just daily living supplies."

"It's just that from now on, the Astral Express can only support two jumps; if the next Trailblazing journey cannot harvest enough Trailblazing power to convert energy, I'm afraid the Astral Express will be like what March 7th said, becoming a train drifting in space."

"However, because of this, the destination of the next stop must be chosen carefully."

"Currently, we can only see how everyone discusses countermeasures later."

The Astral Express.

The Parlor Car.

March 7th looked at the dialogue in the game plot and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's actually like this? Then how many jumps can we make next?"

Himeko comforted gently: "Little March doesn't have to worry; the Astral Express's energy power hasn't reached the stage in the game yet."

Following Dan Heng lowered his head and pondered: "However, we really have to plan for this point."

Welt Yang nodded, adjusted his glasses and said: "Following Dan Heng is right, but we don't have to be too urgent; let's do the things in front of us first, step by step, there will be no problem."

【In the game story, after Welt Yang explained the status of the Astral Express's energy power, Following Dan Heng also said solemnly: "In other words, this point must be considered when choosing the next destination."】

【Welt Yang nodded and said: "That's right, I have already looked at the star map; the worlds closer to us are the 【Ocean Planet】 Lusaka and the 【Agate World】 Melustine."】

【"As for which one to choose as our destination, it still has to be voted on..."】

【Just as Welt Yang, Following Dan Heng, Stelle, and March 7th were discussing the issue of the Astral Express's energy, a familiar and surprising elegant female voice came: —】

【"...... Or, you can also listen to my proposal."】

【With the sound of a door opening and closing, a knowledgeable and beautiful woman with a light veil, a graceful figure, and an elegant and mysterious temperament walked out of March 7th's room.】

The livestream room.

"Holy crap! This is Black Swan!! How could she be on the Astral Express!!!"

"Could it be that Miss Black Swan is also going to travel with the Astral Express for a while?"

"Fortunately Boothill isn't here, otherwise I would have thought the Order dream hadn't been cleared yet."

"But speaking of the Order dream, did you guys notice? The two destinations Welt mentioned just now appeared in the Order dream."

"I also remembered that the 【Ocean Planet】 Lusaka is a planet composed entirely of liquid water, and it is also Mikhail's hometown."

"That 【Agate World】 Melustine is even the place where the Aeon of Beauty ascended; they are all places with special significance."

"I feel like both worlds are possible; whether it's Mikhail's hometown or the place where the Aeon of Beauty ascended, I feel like they can trigger a lot of related story plots."

"It's just looking at Miss Black Swan who appeared, she seems to have different suggestions; I don't know which planet she will recommend?"

"However, I feel like the Astral Express is a bit sloppy; is it the same as the Family's Hound family, so many people want to come and go as they please?"

"Uh, you guy, this wave is directly affecting both sides."

"It's not bad to say so; for the Astral Express, it welcomes anyone without malice to board the train, but I feel that the Memokeeper's ability is a bit too buggy; you have to know that besides Black Swan, there is another person from the Garden of Recollection on the Astral Express."

"Hahaha, that's really true."

"Perhaps the Astral Express is still missing a train police."

The direction where the Astral Express crew is located.

March 7th was surprised: "Why did Miss Black Swan appear here?"

"Does the conductor know? And why did she appear in my room!!"

Following Dan Heng looked at the excited March 7th and said: "March, calm down first."

After March 7th calmed down, Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and said: "Now it seems that since Miss Black Swan appeared directly in front of us, she should have no malice."

Himeko also nodded and said: "Not to mention that thanks to Miss Black Swan's help in the turmoil of Penacony, Miss Black Swan is not a villain."

Following Dan Heng looked at the content in the game plot and said: "Then it depends on what this Memokeeper plans to do."

【In the game story, Black Swan walked with elegant steps, came to Welt Yang, Following Dan Heng, March 7th, and Stelle, and greeted: "Meet again, everyone."】

【March 7th looked at Black Swan walking out of her room and exclaimed: "It, is it you?! How could you come out of my room..."】

【Black Swan looked at March 7th with a smile and praised: "A very cute room—just like you."】

【Looking at Black Swan who appeared in front of her, Stelle was calm, but suddenly realized and said: "I said someone was missing when we said goodbye..."】

【At the critical moment, we still have to look at Welt Yang; I saw him staring solemnly at Black Swan who appeared here and said in a deep voice: "Memokeeper... I can't say how you avoided the ears and eyes to board the train, the 【proposal】 you just mentioned..."】

【Black Swan looked at everyone, smiled slightly, and said softly in an elegant and knowledgeable tone: "I accidentally heard about the way the train obtains 【fuel】."】

【"I originally just wanted to come and chat with everyone to see if it was possible for us to cooperate—now it seems that my proposal is likely to be everyone's life-saving straw."】

【Following Dan Heng looked at Black Swan, frowned slightly, and said: "Speak directly. Depending on the content, we might also ask you to get off the train."】

【For Following Dan Heng's attitude, Black Swan didn't seem to take it to heart; instead, she looked at Following Dan Heng with those amber night sky eyes, as if seeing deeper memories through his expression.】

【Only hearing Black Swan reveal a mysterious smile with a hint of charm, she said softly: "Descendant of 【Permanence】?...... What a charming little dragon, especially that muddy memory of yours."】

The livestream room.

"My god, are Memokeepers all this strong? Can they perceive a person's memory just by looking at them?"

"I don't think it's that far; maybe Miss Black Swan is just particularly strong."

"Hahahaha, is Black Swan teasing Following Dan Heng? Too interesting."

"Miss Black Swan does have taste; Following Dan Heng's charm is top-notch."

"However, looking at Following Dan Heng's face, if Miss Black Swan doesn't get to the point, I'm afraid she will really be asked to get off the Astral Express by the train crew."

"Rest assured, rest assured, Miss Black Swan's grasp of the scale must be very skilled, she shouldn't go to that step, and even Sparkle couldn't get any sweetness from Miss Black Swan."

"But the only mistake should be with Miss Acheron."

"That should be Miss Black Swan's most uncomposed time."

"After all, Nihility is too buggy."
