Elysian Realm: Rich Woman, Hungry Oh

Sensing the awkward silence, Zhang Wei didn't want to get stuck on that topic.

"Don't overthink it. In a way, you're all dead people, so... how about a bowl of noodles first?" Zhang Wei said, producing a steaming bowl of instant noodles as if by magic.

"...I understand!"

The sudden change almost made his old back ache. Kevin put away Skyfire Judgment, nodded, took the bowl of noodles, gave Zhang Wei a deep look, and vanished.

Perhaps at that moment, Kevin had made his decision regarding the choice he faced: whether to leave the Elysian Realm or stay.

The slightly heavy topic concluded, Elysia perked up again, her cheerful and lively personality returning as she continued to lead Zhang Wei and the others on their tour.

"Captain, I didn't expect you could get Kevin to talk so much. You know, even for us Flame-Chasers, we haven't spoken this much with Kevin in tens of thousands of years.

And the fact that you know Kevin likes noodles, I'm surprised," Elysia said in amazement.

Kevin always had a scowl on his face, as if everyone owed him money. He was as cold as a block of ice. Even when Elysia tried to strike up conversations with him over the years, Kevin would barely say a few words.

Only Su could communicate peacefully with Kevin. As expected, they were the true couple; Mei was just an unexpected addition. If Su were a girl, Mei probably wouldn't have stood a chance.

That Kevin liked noodles was something all thirteen of them knew. But who would have thought that a Flame-Chaser, a savior, would enjoy such a convenient food?

"Just consider me all-knowing. Aside from a few minor details, besides yourselves, no one likely knows you better than I do!" Zhang Wei said, stroking his chin.

"Alright, next stop is my good friend Eden's place. Since you know us so well, why don't you tell me your impression of Eden?" Elysia asked, her starlit eyes blinking with curiosity.

Zhang Wei replied without hesitation, "Rich lady, hungry, wants food. My first impression is that Eden is a super-rich, wealthy lady."

Elysia: "..."

"Okay, what you said isn't wrong. Eden would probably find it amusing if she knew,"

Elysia twitched the corner of her mouth. She didn't deny Zhang Wei's statement; Eden could indeed be described as a rich lady. In the previous civilization, the Fire Moth's late-stage funding was all invested by Eden. Even this Elysian Realm had Eden's investment. However, such a straightforward and unpretentious term made her feel a bit exasperated.

As the most brilliant star of the previous civilization, Eden's achievements, in a sense, represented an era. She didn't care much about money; it was just a number to her. She had a pure heart for art, so to say she earned money would be an insult.

"The Hyperion needs people like her. Although money isn't needed right now, it's absolutely impossible without it!" Zhang Wei recognized Eden's value. When they reached the outside world, even if it wasn't the previous civilization, Eden's brilliance would still illuminate this era.

"..."

Elysia had never been so silent so many times in one day, but she was also very honest, speaking nothing but the truth.

Following a small path, they arrived in a beautiful, scenic environment with falling maple leaves, fragrant flowers, and floating musical notes. An elegant elder sister with wine-red hair sat before a piano, her slender fingers dancing across the keys like a beautiful dance, lost in her music, making the surrounding environment even more picturesque.

Zhang Wei and the others didn't disturb her. Instead, they slowly closed their eyes and listened quietly. The music, like heavenly sounds, could instantly calm a person's heart, as if all their distracting thoughts were carried away by the music.

"Elysia, and to our visitors, sorry to have kept you waiting!"

As the last note faded, Eden turned to look at them and smiled elegantly.

"We just arrived. Eden, your music is truly a rare treat in this world. As expected of the most brilliant star on the stage of the previous civilization!" Zhang Wei said sincerely.

"It's just vanity. It seems Elysia is getting along well with you all, which is good!" Eden looked at Elysia dotingly, her eyes full of her.

Zhang Wei's expression showed a hint of peculiarity. As expected of the "Love Gate Leader," he thought, just keep spoiling her!

"Would you like some afternoon tea?"

Eden stood up and walked to a stone table under a tree. With a gentle tap, vessels containing black tea and pastries appeared. It had to be said that the Elysian Realm was truly peculiar; although it was composed of data, one could still smell the aroma.

"Eden, would you like some wine?" Himeko took out a bottle of aged red wine from behind her. She sensed a kindred spirit in Eden, someone who would be a compatible drinking companion.

"Of course, my friend, and this is for you as a gift!"

Eden readily agreed, simultaneously taking off the bracelet on her wrist and handing it to Himeko. The craftsmanship, the carvings, and the embedded gems were enough to show that it was a priceless treasure, further highlighting Eden's generosity and wealth.

"Captain, it's up to you. Help me materialize one!" Himeko said heartily, taking it and then tossing it to Zhang Wei. These treasures were also composed of data and couldn't be brought out of the Elysian Realm, so they had to be manifested in another way.

"Alright, drink a little less, or no one will be able to take you back!" Zhang Wei rolled his eyes. This drunkard probably had all sorts of alcohol flowing through his veins instead of blood.

"Understood, Eden, let's ignore them!"

Himeko pulled Eden along, spread a picnic blanket under the tree, arranged some exquisite snacks, and started drinking.

"Ahem, it's rare to have someone to drink with, so Eden is very happy!" Elysia said awkwardly. She didn't want Zhang Wei and the others to misunderstand this drunken image.

"Actually, when Eden gets drunk, she becomes very cute. You'll see it later!"

Speaking of this, Elysia couldn't help but chuckle. Eden before getting drunk was noble and elegant, but after getting drunk, she was like a lazy cat, possessing a unique charm.

"I know, they all have their own personalities!"

This was his impression of the Flame-Chasers; they were very interesting. If he could bring the Hyperion into it, he wouldn't be bored in the future.

Not only the Flame-Chasers but also the people on the Hyperion had their own distinct personalities. He enjoyed cleaning the Hyperion's deck, and Kiana and the others also had their own interests and unique personalities. Compared to the beginning when he could only communicate with Ai Yi, his current "home" was undoubtedly much warmer.

"The afternoon tea is quite nice. They'll probably be drinking for a long time, so let's leave first!" Zhang Wei stood up, not bothering to clean up anything. Since it was made of data, it was easy to handle.
