Lin Shuang didn't rush to test this seemingly useless skill.

The main problem is that I don't have any old Photos on hand; all the Photos on my phone were taken recently.

Even after reading it aloud, it's difficult to judge.

Let's talk about it another time.

The main problem was that Lin Shuang couldn't think of any use for it at the moment.

I feel like we might need to add one or two more skills to create a better effect.

Lin Shuang, who was bored, was wondering whether she should chat with Acheron for a while.

Suddenly, a message came from the Firefly:

[Firefly: Hi, it's me, Firefly.]

[Firefly: I heard about today's events from Silver Wolf. Are you still on the Space Station? Hope you haven't run into any trouble.]

[Firefly: [Paimon's heart emoji]]

Seeing the concern that Firefly Ying had sent, Lin Shuang couldn't help but smile.

[Lin Shuang: We didn't encounter any major trouble; the force that attacked the Space Station wasn't a large one.]

[Lin Shuang: But... I feel like you've been talking more on your phone lately, Firefly. At first, you were mostly sending emojis.]

[Firefly: It's good that you're alright, hehe. I was always in Sam before, and my fingers are too thick to type properly.]

[Firefly: Thanks to you, I can now move freely in the outside world. I have so much to tell you~ Hehe, we've already planned our next date!]

Lin Shuang was somewhat surprised, and also touched.

It can only be said that people with very little romantic experience are like this. People like Silver Wolf, who are talkative, or Kafka, who are very rational and restrained, are much better.

But if a straightforward and adorable girl like Firefly were to hit on your head, it would be really hard to handle.

Especially when the girl is even able to hold the transformation device and shout "Transform!"

That's something I really couldn't refuse.

[Lin Shuang: May I ask where we're going?]

[Firefly: Hehe, it's a secret! Silver Wolf teased me, saying our last date was too ordinary, so I put in a little more effort this time. Just look forward to it!]

[Lin Shuang: Okay then, I'll look forward to it.]

Although Lin Shuang knew that Firefly's 'date' was unlikely to involve any romantic feelings.

But the statement itself is too ambiguous, making it hard not to overthink it.

Besides.

Why does Silver Wolf seem to have a pretty good relationship with Firefly?

Could it be because it's easier to get close after the armor is removed?

Lin Shuang was sometimes quite curious about what it was like for Stellaron Hunter to stay in their own base.

Based on Lin Shuang's current understanding, their external style differs subtly from their internal style.

Of course, Lin Shuang can't guarantee that the 'stereotypes' are not caused by those funny fan-made creations.

[Firefly: By the way, I've recently been trying to make some desserts myself.]

[Firefly: The feeling of making it by hand, compared to seeing it through a mecha before, is completely different. It's just a pity it didn't taste very good.]

[Lin Shuang: Take your time, you'll get the hang of it eventually.]

On the other end of the phone, Firefly shared many everyday trivia with Lin Shuang.

Well, they're a bit like birds released from their cages, a little too active.

For example, she spent three days sleeping in different beds, comparing the different sleeping experiences of her bed, Silver Wolf's bed, and Kafka's bed.

They also concluded that Silver Wolf's bed was softer to sleep on.

So I bought the same mattress as Silver Wolf.

Although Firefly spends most of her rest time in her medical pod.

For example,

The first dessert that Firefly tried to make was Oak roll cake.

But it's clear that, apart from herself, no one else in Stellaron Hunter would consider this thing a 'Pastries'.

Unable to bear it any longer, Silver Wolf conjured up a cookbook and shoved it at Firefly, telling her to make something a normal person could eat.

If Lin Shuang hadn't known, Firefly would have known that she was the famous 'Stellaron Hunter Sam'.

She might mistake Firefly for a cute, ordinary girl who is a bit naive.

However, that interpretation isn't entirely wrong.

To her, 'Sam' was just a weapon. But 'Firefly' was a girl.

The two are not separate, but they will never overlap either.

And the significance of Lin Shuang to Firefly.

It's probably that she would tell Lin Shuang many of her little thoughts that only 'Firefly' had.

As for Lin Shuang...

She wasn't annoyed at all by chatting with Firefly about everyday things.

Rather, from these rambling words, Lin Shuang even felt that she could see Firefly's adorable appearance.

And just then...

The star lying beside her finally awoke from its deep sleep.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Lin Shuang turned her head and met Xing's bewildered eyes.

"You're awake? How are you feeling?"

After saying that, Lin Shuang looked down at her phone again.

[Lin Shuang: Xing seems to be awake, I'll go check on her.]

[Firefly: Go ahead, go ahead~]

[Firefly: [Paimon's heart emoji]]

[Lin Shuang: [Paimon gives a heart emoji]]

Lin Shuang replied with a heart emoji before putting away her phone and looking at Xing, who was rubbing her head and seemed to still be recovering.

"... This is... Space Station? Are you waiting for me here?"

Xing propped herself up and sat up, looking at Lin Shuang beside her.

"The crisis at the Space Station has been resolved, and I'm free anyway, so I'll stay with you. If you can still walk, I'll take you to see Himeko."

Xing nodded.

She's feeling a bit lost and uneasy. Now that the incident is over, where should she go?

In her Remembrance, Lin Shuang was right behind Kafka when Kafka gave her those instructions.

Does Lin Shuang know some information? Or does she know where she should go?

Thinking of all this, Xing took the initiative to ask:

"... Um, do you know what I should do next? And do you know anything?"

Lin Shuang was a little surprised to hear this question, but she quickly remembered the evaluation of Xing in the information given by the system.

So she took Xing's hand and helped her to her feet.

He said with a smile:

"You seem a little confused, but that's okay, because I was planning to tell you this anyway."

"Oh... thank you?"

Xing tilted her head and thanked Lin Shuang.

Let's talk as we walk.

Lin Shuang led Xing directly to find Himeko.

Do you remember what's inside your body?

"I vaguely remember something? What was it?"

Xing only remembered that there was something inside her body, but she didn't know exactly what it was.

Lin Shuang then gave Xing a brief explanation, and also mentioned the Herta.

"... Most people in the Genius Society are quite arrogant and self-centered. You can ask the Navigator of the Star Rail Express about this."

"As for Kafka... I don't actually know much about their plans, I only know that she will definitely come looking for you later. Don't worry too much."

After hearing Lin Shuang's explanation, Xing suddenly blurted out:

"And what about you? Which faction do you belong to?"

Volume 1: Chapter 174 Star: Can You Take Me In?

Lin Shuang really hadn't expected Xing to pull her aside and ask such a question.

Although Lin Shuang didn't mind Xing following her around everywhere.

After all, judging from the previous situation, Lin Shuang's addition did not disrupt the overall direction of the Script.

The star still received Nanook's glance, thus beginning its Path to Destruction.

Therefore, in Lin Shuang's understanding, Elio was backing her up, and there were no specific instructions given.

This means that whatever Lin Shuang does is fine and shouldn't affect Xing's growth.

However, for Lin Shuang, who is all alone, this situation is clearly not a good choice.

If there were no other choice, that would be fine, but clearly the Star Rail Express is a pretty good option.

There's really no need to waste your life with her.

Besides, Lin Shuang didn't consider herself a respectable person.

If it follows you around every day, don't let it lead you astray, that would be bad.

"I'm just a lone wolf; I have no power."

Lin Shuang smiled and told Xing about her situation.

"If I had to say, it would probably be that I have a better relationship with Xianzhou."

"Can you take me in?"

Xing tilted her head and blinked, staring intently at Lin Shuang, seemingly wanting to follow her.

Although he doesn't always speak seriously.

Lin Shuang glared at her, amused, and said:

"I don't mind if you come with me, but I'm a pretty easygoing person, and it'll be difficult for me to investigate your affairs thoroughly if you come with me. So if you still have something to pursue, I suggest you go to the Star Rail Express."

"... All right."

Xing looked somewhat disappointed.

Of course, she herself wasn't sure how much of that was due to first impressions.

However, Xing doesn't suffer from decision-making difficulties.

Furthermore, she discovered that Lin Shuang seemed quite inclined towards that Star Rail Express.

Would you recommend the Star Rail Express instead?

"That's true, but for the specifics, you should ask Himeko. She definitely understands the significance of Trailblaze better than I do."
