"The space station will always be your home. Just come back and visit often."

She would always welcome Lin Nai.

Besides, even if Lin Nai wasn't on the space station, she could still see him.

It would just take a little time.

Lin Nai paused and looked at Kizuna.

"I have no objections," Kizuna said with a smile. "Rather, I'm looking forward to it. Pam probably is too."

"Really? Then I'll come along."

On the space station, the speed at which he could grow stronger was ultimately limited.

If he followed the train, he would probably grow significantly.

This was also a good thing.

He really did need strength.

But honestly, when Herta said he should go with the Stellar Express, he wondered if Herta would say something like, "If you cause trouble in the future... cough cough."

"Mmm... Don't rush, it's not that soon. Kizuna and the others will be staying for a while."

Herta paused and looked at Lin Nai. "You shouldn't get on the train anytime soon either! Absolutely not!"

"Why?"

"Why ask so many questions? Just do as you're told!" Herta reached out and grabbed Lin Nai. "Also, come get tested by me first!"

"Eh! I got it! Don't drag me! And what are you going to test this time..."

March Seven: Eh! Is this topic something we can listen to for free?

Kizuna: No, it's just a simple test.

"Wait! My phone is ringing, it's Silver Wolf... Ah! Herta! Don't hang up!!"

Watching the two people leave, Kizuna retracted her gaze.

And then focused it on Xing.

"What about you, Xing? What do you think?"

"If Lin Nai goes, I go."

"Hooray! The train crew has a new member!" March Seven raised her hand and shouted.

Dan Heng didn't say anything, he just nodded.

Kizuna smiled and nodded. "Then follow me, Xing. You don't have a room yet, do you?"

"We'll be staying at the Black Tower Space Station for a few days, so I'll arrange a room for you first."

"Arrange it next to Lin Nai's room, please."

"Uh... Xing, aren't you a little too dependent on Lin Nai?" March Seven asked, confused.

Xing tilted her head, puzzled. "Does it matter?"

Lin Nai was a trustworthy partner, family, and friend.

Moreover, he was the first person she saw when she opened her eyes.

She often felt a warm, fiery sensation from him.

Xing didn't know what that feeling was.

But it was fine.

She only knew that staying by Lin Nai's side was comfortable and made her happy.

Hmm...

Could it be...

Is Lin Nai the man who could become her mother!

Lin Nai, who was being manhandled by Herta: Acho!!!

A few hours later.

Lin Nai yawned and sat in a chair, waiting for Herta to finish reviewing her test report.

Herta was silent for a few seconds, then crumpled the report and threw it into the trash can.

She eyed the testing machine with suspicion.

How strange.

Why isn't it detecting anything yet?

Lin Nai has already shown combat power that's outrageously off the charts. By all rights, there should be some kind of anomaly showing up.

This is just ridiculous.

Whatever.

I'll just send the recent recording to Ruan Mei and Screwllum. Let them deal with the headache!

With that thought, Black Tower transmitted the recording.

"Oh, right. My Simulated Universe is ready. Want to come test it out?"

"So soon?"

"It was finished two months ago."

Black Tower stood up and patted the massive machine. "But you were in such a rush to leave back then."

"I had something to attend to later and left the space station early, so testing had to be postponed until now."

"You already know about the Simulated Universe, so come on, let's test it!"

Lin Nai hesitated for a few seconds, then shook his head. "I'll pass. It's still a beta version, isn't it?"

It feels like too much trouble.

There's nothing fun about the beta version of the Simulated Universe.

It's not like I can do anything fancy with it.

If I mess around with the Simulated Universe using a VR Cassette, who knows if it'll just crash.

Maybe next time.

Hearing that Lin Nai wasn't going to participate, Black Tower said with a hint of disappointment:

"If you don't want to, that's fine. I also invited that Stellaris kid. She should be sliding her way over here by now."

"Sliding?"

"That's how she replied to me on Himeko's phone."

Soon.

Xing opened the door and walked in, still clutching a board.

This made Lin Nai a bit confused.

"I found this!"

Xing held up the board, showing it off.

Then, she placed it on the ground and stepped onto it.

After that, she started gliding as if it were a skateboard.

Fortunately, the floor of the Black Tower Space Station was indeed very smooth, but this only allowed Xing to slide about a meter.

Hmm...

So that's what "sliding" means.

"By the way, where did you get that board?"

"Found it on the ground."

"Let me try it."

"Sure."

Black Tower watched the two of them inexplicably playing with the wooden board with a dark expression.

Black Tower: I don't understand...

Chapter 33: Silver Wolf: Are You Insane?!

After playing on the skateboard with Xing in Black Tower's office for a while.

Lin Nai left.

Black Tower couldn't wait any longer and urged Xing to test her Simulated Universe.

Lin Nai, who wasn't participating, naturally had to leave.

He needed to go back and get some good rest.

He had experienced too much today.

First, it was the Void Trotters of the Anti-Matter Legion, and then that troublesome Doomsday Beast.

Well.

The Doomsday Beast was actually quite easy to deal with.

And he even used it as a springboard to finally reach a level of physical fitness strong enough to unleash the Nebast Light Ray.

Nebast Light Ray...

The mana consumption is a bit high.

Back in the room.

Lin Nai didn't go to sleep right away.

It wasn't even 11 PM yet, and some office worker was still drinking milk.

How could someone his age sleep?

Sitting in a chair, Lin Nai chewed bubblegum and stared blankly out the window.

The universe...

"It's not even midnight yet, why are you feeling so down?"

A familiar voice sounded in his ear.

Lin Nai turned his head and saw Silver Wolf's figure, but unlike before, it was emitting a blue light.

He picked up a can and threw it, and as expected, it passed right through.

"?"

Silver Wolf's face was full of question marks. Seriously, isn't it obvious this is a phantom?

Are you still going to try and see if you can hit it?

"So you left a backdoor in the space station."

"Yeah, what else? Since I came all the way here, I had to leave something behind."

Silver Wolf's holographic projection sat on Lin Nai's bed.

"...Even though you can't hit me, you can still sit down?"
