King Wen of Zhou: ?

"I'm back!"

Bai Luoming, carrying large and small bags, opened the villa's door. Strangely enough, this villa, which served as a base for Stellaron Hunters, had neither a password nor a lock. He had originally thought he would have to knock to enter, but he simply pushed the door open and came in.

"It's good that you're back, darling."

Kafka sat on the sofa, holding a fashion magazine. When she saw Bai Luoming enter, she only glanced at him before returning her attention to the magazine.

Bai Luoming looked around, but at this moment only Kafka was sitting in the entire living room, which made him a little curious.

"Kafka... Kafka, where are they?"

"They've gone to sleep. Should I wake them?"

Upon hearing Kafka's explanation, Bai Luoming put down what he was holding, waved his hand, and repeatedly said, "No need, no need."

Having said that, he picked up a bag from his hand and handed it to Kafka.

"Here, this is for you."

Upon hearing this, Kafka finally shifted her attention from the magazine to Bai Luoming's face.

A hint of surprise appeared on her face; she really hadn't expected that Bai Luoming would bring her a gift just from going out.

No, looking at what he's holding, it seems he prepared gifts for all of them, not just for her alone.

"How touching, darling. I thought you'd hold a grudge against us for kidnapping you."

"Not at all. I'm practically your accomplice now, no, your partner. As the saying goes, you have to love what you do, so why would I hold a grudge against my comrade?"

As Bai Luoming spoke, he handed the packaging bag back to Kafka, saying, "Take it, it's tiring to carry this."

Kafka then took the item from his hand. It felt heavy in her hand as soon as she held it. She opened the packaging bag and took out the contents.

What I got was a burgundy coat. It had no other embellishments, just a simple design with a burgundy color.

Kafka looked at the coat in her hands, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes, and said to Bai Luoming, "This is so thoughtful. This coat must have been expensive, right? I really like it."

"If you like it, that's all that matters. As for the price, that's not important. Good things shouldn't be judged by their price."

When Bai Luoming was buying clothes, he immediately took a liking to this coat. It matched the color of Kafka's clothes perfectly. Although the style was somewhat simple, the price was anything but simple. He spent hundreds of thousands of Credits to get it.

He glanced at the other gift boxes in his hand, his expression slightly taken aback, but he still handed them all to Kafka.

"These are also gifts I bought for them; please help me pass them on."

Kafka took the items from her hands. Among them were a pink apron, some desserts and a game console, as well as a large box of cat treats and cat food. She could even vaguely see a box that looked like catnip inside.

Aside from the apron and cat food, everything else suited the other two's tastes quite well. Kafka really didn't expect that Bai Luoming, who had only just arrived, would know their preferences so well.

"Okay, honey, I never expected you to know our preferences so well."

"It's just a little bit of information. By the way, where is my room?"

Upon hearing Bai Luoming's words, Kafka's smile faded, and she waved to Bai Luoming, saying, "Come with me."

As she spoke, she led Bai Luoming to the room that had been prepared beforehand.

Bai Luoming didn't question it and followed Kafka upstairs step by step.

Kafka walked upstairs and pointed to a room at the corner of the stairs, explaining to Bai Luoming, "This is Blade's room; you can talk to him if you need anything. The other room upstairs is Silver Wolf's room; you've been there before."

Then she continued leading Bai Luoming up to the third floor, pointing to two rooms on the side and explaining, "These are my and Firefly's rooms. Further in, roughly corresponding to Silver Wolf's room, is the room we prepared for you. It has a bathroom and such; you can go and see for yourself."

"OK."

As Bai Luoming spoke, he picked up his things and walked towards his room, while Kafka simply stood there, watching Bai Luoming's back, smiling but saying nothing more.

"Wow, is this my room? The Stellaron Hunters are really generous; no wonder they're an organization whose combined net worth is worth tens of billions."

The room in front of me was exceptionally luxurious; the high-end and sophisticated furnishings were immediately apparent, even without close inspection.

He had no doubt that every item in the room could sell for hundreds of thousands of Credits if placed outside.

Moreover, the room was over 100 square meters in size and fully equipped, with even a separate bathroom and toilet, making it much larger than his room on the train.

Bai Luoming placed the items in his hands on the ground and then sorted them out. Most of them were clothes. He not only bought clothes that he could wear normally in daily life, but also a lot of other clothes. The most eye-catching item was a Robin's anime-themed outfit.

When he was shopping, he was immediately attracted to this piece of clothing. Considering his upcoming trip to Penacony, he bought it without hesitation.

After Bai Luoming finished tidying up, he took his pajamas and went into the bathroom to wash up properly.

"Phew, that feels so good after a shower."

Bai Luoming walked out of the bathroom, dried his hair, and lay down on the bed. Then he took out his Jade Abacus.

As soon as he opened Jade Abacus Jade Abacus, a flood of messages popped up, including not only messages of concern from the Astral Express Crew, but also messages from many friends, as well as a long string of friend requests.

I don't know if it's because I switched the terminal account to Jade Abacus, but the account that used to have very few messages suddenly started popping up with a dense barrage of messages.

The most eye-catching one was an account called "King Wen of Zhou," which posted dozens of messages.

Bai Luoming remembered this account; it had added him as a friend when he first got the terminal, but he stopped paying attention to it after not receiving any replies.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that he hadn't actually not received a reply; he simply hadn't received it.

The messages were numerous, initially consisting of daily greetings and routine sharing, but after a short period of these messages, they began to change their nature.

King Wen of Zhou: Penacony, [Month] [Day]: There's a performance today, so please make sure nothing goes wrong.

King Wen of Zhou: Month X+1: Today is a rare holiday, I can finally get some rest.

King Wen of Zhou: [Date]: Ugh, so annoying! Two more brainless fans somehow found my contact information. But thankfully, I've already told my brother about it.

There are many similar messages, and it's not hard to see that this person is clearly using his chat box as a memo or a confessional.

Furthermore, Bai Luoming could also glean from the details that this person lived in Penacony, seemed to be a celebrity, and had an older brother...

Based on this information, he quickly identified the account. After thinking for a moment, Bai Luoming typed "Hello" in the chat box and sent it.

The other party received the message, and their nickname quickly changed to "The other party is typing."

But after a long time, Bai Luoming still hadn't received a reply. He waited and was about to exit the chat to check other messages when the other party sent a message.
