Stelle: Bai Tang, Go!

"Bai Tang, go!"

Stelle pointed at the Simulated Universe in front of them. All she had to do was scan Bai Tang's data, and she would have another good partner she could download to fight monsters with her!

Naturally, Bai Tang didn't refuse. She stepped up to be scanned, and the energy kept rising until it reached the top. With a boom, the Simulated Universe exploded.

Stelle stared blankly. "The Simulated Universe is really poorly made."

It had exploded from just scanning some data. How could that not count as poor quality?

Bai Tang rubbed her temples. She knew perfectly well why it had happened.

Hadn't Stelle seen the energy go off the charts?!

The next second, Herta appeared.

"A genius's creation is not fragile, much less the Simulated Universe, which was built by three geniuses working together. Rather than questioning me, you should be asking who she is."

As she spoke, she pulled up the records and scanned through one set of data after another. Whatever she saw, a light appeared in her eyes. "You, stay here and let me study you."

Bai Tang: "..."

Stelle stepped forward, blocking Bai Tang, and declared firmly, "No!"

Stelle looked at Herta as though she were a trafficker in the middle of abducting a child.

Bai Tang was the only healer on the train!

A healer was essential for running dungeons!

Stelle was the main DPS and tank, Dan Heng was a main DPS, March 7th was ranged, Himeko was ranged sub-DPS, and Welt was support (Stelle had simply turned the abilities her companions had displayed in previous battles into game terms).

And Bai Tang was the only healer!

She absolutely couldn't hand her over!

"What's with that look? I never said she couldn't go back to the train. Once I lose interest, she'll leave anyway."

As Herta spoke, her gaze settled on Bai Tang as though she were looking at something extraordinary. "Let me study you. Consider it a request."

When it came to things that interested her, she was very patient and didn't care what form or means she used, so long as she achieved her goal.

"Let me think about it. It'll probably take some time."

Bai Tang neither refused nor agreed.

"That's fine. I have plenty of patience. Contact Asta when you've made up your mind. The Simulated Universe is closed for today. I'll make some adjustments, and you can test it next time."

With that, Herta logged off without another word.

That was very much Herta's style.

"We can't play in the Simulated Universe today, so I'll go to Belobog and take some commissions."

Stelle had no shortage of work. It was everywhere.

As long as an NPC managed to squeeze an exclamation mark over their head, a Little Grey Hair would come scampering over to solve their problem (not).

Bai Tang looked at her empty wallet and decided to ask Asta if she needed any help. As long as she paid, that was enough.

Stelle went to Belobog, while Bai Tang stayed at Herta Space Station. She spent the day completing several commissions for Asta and earned a hefty sum. The amount made Bai Tang want to hug Asta and beg her to be her sugar mommy.

Bai Tang tried to avoid going to Belobog, mainly because her hands itched whenever she saw someone scheming. It wasn't directed at Cocolia. Of course, Aventurine, Jing Yuan, Jiaoqiu, Aglaea, and a few others didn't count.

They were her favorites, after all, so of course she'd dote on them.

[Astral Express family]

[Himeko: Stelle, March 7th, Dan Heng—how was your rest?]

[Himeko: Pom-Pom has finished the routine departure checks, and the Nameless are ready to continue on to the next world. Once you've taken care of what you're doing, come back to the train.]

[Himeko: By the way, you must still have plenty of questions about the final battle with Belobog's Supreme Guardian. Welt and I did some basic analysis, which might help clear up some of your doubts.]

[March 7th: Got it! We'll get ready to head back now.]

Only two days had passed since the great battle ended, and Welt had already sealed the Stellaron. The train was ready to leave as soon as possible, for fear something unexpected might happen in the meantime.

Unlike the others, Bai Tang's journey had been simple. She had beaten up Blade of the Stellaron Hunters, then followed Stelle to Herta Space Station. After blowing up the Simulated Universe, she stayed to take commissions and earn money.

So Bai Tang had basically been living on the train. Yesterday, she had only gone to Herta Space Station to take a few commissions before returning to the train to sleep that night.

Dan Heng, Stelle, and March 7th had gone to attend the Supreme Guardian's speech yesterday. Stelle really had been busy: that morning, she had been at Herta Space Station watching the Simulated Universe explode, then immediately returned to Belobog to take commissions. Soon afterward, she received a message asking them to attend the speech.

So the three of them had stayed in Belobog last night rather than on the train.

Bai Tang lay on her own bed. It made no difference where she was during the warp, so she might as well think about what happened next in the story.

They were going to the Xianzhou next. Whether they wanted to go or not, the Stellaron Hunters would make them go. To give them a reason to go to the Xianzhou, Blade had even volunteered to become a prisoner...

Remembering what Jingliu had said in the story about how the Xianzhou had become dangerous and the like, Bai Tang really wanted to say, You're the biggest danger yourselves, aren't you?

If they didn't come, Jing Yuan could get some rest. Once they arrived, Jing Yuan would have headaches to deal with. On top of that, they were Jing Yuan's master and Brother Yingxing. With old friends on one side and the Luofu on the other, it really was a difficult choice, and it would also be easy for those people higher up to make an issue of it.

The next second, Bai Tang remembered something and couldn't keep her composure.

If even Blade could mistake her for Baiheng, then Jingliu...

She strongly suspected that the moment Jingliu laid eyes on her, she would unleash Florephemeral Dreamflux.

She was scared. Maybe it was better not to meet her...

No, wait. She had beaten up a Stellaron Hunter and given Dan Heng a bottle of poison. Although it couldn't kill Blade, it could incapacitate him for a while. So how were the Stellaron Hunters supposed to make Dan Heng reveal his dragon form?

Forget it. That wasn't her problem. The Stellaron Hunters would handle it themselves.

[Silver Wolf: You there?]

[Silver Wolf uploaded a file]

[Silver Wolf: The script]

[Silver Wolf: Cooperate with us]

The train jolted, bouncing Bai Tang on her bed, and she saw Silver Wolf's messages arrive on her phone.

[Bai Tang: Have I become an unofficial member of the Stellaron Hunters?]

[Silver Wolf: You're not on the wanted list]

[Silver Wolf: We'll talk when you make the list]

[Silver Wolf: Elio said he'd be willing to take you in]

[Bai Tang: The Astral Express is pretty good.]

Bai Tang opened the script to see what it said.

After reading it, she rubbed her head and helplessly scanned the words again.

To boil the lengthy passage down, it simply meant that after they reached the Xianzhou, she shouldn't rush to leave. She should stay a little longer and wait until she sensed an Emanator's presence before leaving, then tell the Nameless staying behind what she had sensed before she left.

That was all.

Dan Heng himself didn't even know he was the gravitational type, and he was always apart from the group. But whenever he heard there was danger, he was the first to rush out.

So that much was enough to draw Dan Heng out.

Bai Tang didn't need to worry about the rest. She could leave the stabbing to Blade, and as for the poison, the Stellaron Hunters had their own way of dealing with it.

Bai Tang: Believe me, after the trip to the Xianzhou, Dan Heng will definitely buy a whole bunch of different poisons from me.

But next, it would be time to put her acting skills to the test.

If she didn't know what was going to happen, looking at this, she wouldn't have to act. Upon sensing the presence of Destruction, she would definitely be startled and rush out.

The problem was that she already knew.

She'd practice a little today.

That way, she could look more natural when the day came. Otherwise, she'd have to face the awkwardness of a whole group of people questioning her.
