Wei Lanshan gave her a bottle of water, a stabilizer, a must-have drink for star shuttle travel, which could relieve fatigue and various discomforts of interstellar travel.

There were various entertainment options on the star shuttle, and Wei Lanshan had been urging Jiujiu to train, so time passed quickly.

26 hours later, Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu disembarked from the star shuttle.

They had arrived at the starport of Aola Star Guard Five. Wei Lanshan led Jiujiu off the star shuttle.

Wei Lanshan didn't encounter any danger along the way. There were a few suspicious individuals, but Wei Lanshan managed to shake them off before taking Jiujiu to a hotel on Aola Star.

They were still in disguise, so their pursuers wouldn't suspect them for now and wouldn't use device-cracking instruments. They would be safe for the time being.

However, this trick wouldn't fool the mercenaries for long. If they couldn't catch them, the mercenaries would eventually realize she had added a disguise.

Wei Lanshan only asked for one guest room and then got an Aola travel guide from the hotel's service robot. She asked a few brief questions about the hotel's curfew and precautions for traveling on Aola, acting like a normal tourist, completing every step.

Jiujiu listened intently from the side, realizing that this was how one communicated with robots. These robots were too realistic; they were all beautiful, even more so than Sixi.

Wei Lanshan also stocked up on some nutrient solutions, placing them in her personal storage, a watch she wore on her wrist.

Jiujiu had always been curious about where Wei Lanshan took so many things from. This time, she decided to get some answers.

She stared at Wei Lanshan's device, about to speak, when she heard Wei Lanshan's voice.

"This is Spatial Overlay Technology. What I have on my hand is just an ordinary Space Locket, capable of holding one cubic meter of items," Wei Lanshan said playfully.

She watched as Jiujiu's expression changed three times in an instant, from surprise to shock to happiness.

Wei Lanshan shook her head. Only at times like these did Jiujiu look like a child.

Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge about this world gave her a hint of childlike innocence.

Wei Lanshan thought for a moment and placed an order with the hotel robot, asking it to bring her a commonly used Space Locket. She paid with Star Coins, and a minute later, the robot delivered a standard Space Locket.

Wei Lanshan put the Space Locket on Jiujiu, filled it with nutrient solutions and weapons, and taught her how to use it.

"Wow, this is so incredibly high-tech!" Jiujiu was ecstatic!

Lately, Jiujiu and Wei Lanshan had been getting along very well. She no longer had the guardedness she felt when they first left the laboratory and was more willing to communicate with Wei Lanshan.

Jiujiu stared at the large white dial on her wrist and began her curious questions: "Aunt Lan, does that mean there are bigger Space Lockets that can hold even more things?"

"Yes, but those are very, very expensive. The largest one can probably hold an entire starship."

"Heavens, this is just too amazing!! I couldn't be happier. This world, here I come!" At the same time, Jiujiu decided she had to earn more Star Coins in the future!

She loved every piece of high technology in this world; she was so excited. These were still theoretical concepts in her world.

Moreover, the Alliance's imagination was just too vast. Starships, star shuttles, sky rails, robots, Mental Power, underground cities – these were things Jiujiu encountered after leaving the surface. Those she hadn't seen yet would likely be even more incredible.

At this moment, she was full of anticipation for the future. Even though she was on the run, it hadn't diminished her longing for the future.

Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu didn't stay on Aola for too long. She logged into her Light Screen Terminal wherever there was a Star Net, browsed through various Alliance information, and planned their next journey.

After staying on Aola for only one night, Wei Lanshan prepared to take Jiujiu and head to the next destination.

As Jiujiu and Wei Lanshan planned to travel to the Anweier Star System, on the way to the starship port, they encountered people from the Snow Dragon Mercenary Group.
