Star Rail: I, a Researcher, Joined the Chat Group

"And with Chen Mu's help, the Stellaron is very stable now." Himeko chuckled and added from the side.

"That's amazing. Hey, kid, you... you're called Star, right? Can I do some research on you?" Herta suggested eagerly.

Perhaps that was simply the nature of researchers.

Whenever they saw something interesting, they became intensely curious and wanted to study it.

Star: "..."

Star was left speechless by Herta's words.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that the cute little girl before her was starting to become a little scary.

Instinctively, Star looked toward Chen Mu, wanting to ask for her opinion.

That reaction

made even Herta pause, and she also looked at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu smiled and said, "If you don't mind, you can agree to Herta, Star. Don't be fooled by how Herta acts—she actually knows her limits."

"What do you mean, I know my limits? Isn't it only natural that I wouldn't do something as tasteless as hurting others for the sake of research? Only mediocre people would be obsessed with that kind of research."

Herta sighed and spoke as though it were obvious.

"Of course, you can also ask Herta for some compensation. Don't let her childlike appearance fool you—she has plenty of good stuff."

Ignoring Herta, Chen Mu continued speaking to Star.

Herta: "...?"

Herta immediately glared at Chen Mu.

Were you even from the Space Station? Why were you helping an outsider speak against her?

Star nodded at that and said seriously, "Alright. Since Chen Mu says so, I'll agree. But the compensation can't be lacking in the slightest."

Herta: "..."

Herta had nothing to say and naturally had no objections.

She herself was quite wealthy.

What left her speechless was that Chen Mu was actually helping an outsider fleece her.

Her relationship with Chen Mu

was no weaker than her relationship with Asta.

Because of her, Chen Mu had met The Erudition, and because of her, he had joined the Genius Club.

And at that moment, Herta suddenly thought of something and looked at Chen Mu. "Oh, right. Chen Mu, if you're interested too, do you want to research this kid with me?"

The moment she said that, Star's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Chen Mu expectantly.

Even March 7th, who had been quietly standing by the whole time, was left speechless by this.

Star, did you really want Chen Mu to research your body that badly?!

Chapter 47: Hesitant Star

"I'll pass. I still have research of my own to work on. Herta, just tell me the results afterward and satisfy my curiosity."

Chen Mu shook his head with a smile.

Herta nodded.

Research, huh? If he had research to do, then there was nothing she could do about it.

As for what he was researching, Herta did not ask. She would naturally find out once it succeeded.

Every one of Chen Mu's research results always brought Herta surprise and novelty.

Naturally, she looked forward to them as well.

After hearing Chen Mu refuse, Star could not help but look a little disappointed.

But she did not say anything.

Chen Mu looked at Star and chuckled.

"Still, Star, although Herta is very interested in you right now, you should prepare yourself mentally."

"If she finishes researching you, or loses interest in you halfway through, she'll abandon you without hesitation. That's just how terrible her personality is."

Chen Mu pinched the Herta puppet's little cheek, his tone teasing.

"Hmph."

Herta broke free from Chen Mu's hand, shot him a glare, and only then snorted without refuting him.

That was simply Herta's personality.

If something interested her, she was willing to accommodate anything.

So even if Chen Mu got handsy with her puppet, Herta would not say anything.

Because Chen Mu himself had always fascinated Herta, and she would never grow tired of him.

Let alone merely getting handsy with Herta's puppet now.

Even if Chen Mu asked Herta for a puppet, Herta would give him one without hesitation.

But simply having a puppet

did not interest Chen Mu either.

He was very interested in Herta herself, not the puppet.

If the puppet did not belong to Herta, and was not controlled by Herta's consciousness, then it was not particularly interesting.

Herta would accommodate things that interested her.

But if it was something Herta did not care about, or had grown tired of, then Herta would be completely indifferent.

She would even discard it without mercy.

That was why Chen Mu said Herta had the temperament of a child—one that suited her puppet-like appearance perfectly.

She cherished toys she liked and discarded toys she disliked without hesitation.

Utterly simple and straightforward.

Stelle was somewhat dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Looking at Herta, she truly had not expected this child to have such a personality.

Himeko rubbed her temples with a headache, naturally understanding Herta's personality.

She spoke up from the side.

"If that's the case, Stelle, then if you're willing, you can come aboard the Stellaron Express with us and travel together."

"The Express has dealt with Stellarons quite a lot. If you come with us, perhaps during our journey, we can uncover the secret of the Stellaron inside you and find the memories you've lost."

"Besides... if necessary, we can always come back and let Herta study you. She's brimming with enthusiasm right now."

Himeko had sounded solemn and serious at first, but as she continued, she could not help but laugh.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stelle's coming aboard the Stellaron Express?!"

Upon hearing that, March 7th could no longer remain quietly silent at the side. She exclaimed in delight.

"I think that would be nice too. At least it'll keep things fresh for me. And when I don't need this little brat, I won't have to worry about her."

Herta also smiled upon hearing this and agreed to the suggestion.

However, when Stelle herself heard this, a hesitant expression appeared on her face. She looked at Himeko and March 7th, then glanced at Chen Mu.

For a moment, she could not make up her mind.

"Alright~ I'll be going first, then. Little brat, remember to come find me once you're done."

Without waiting for Stelle to make a decision, Herta spoke directly.

Then, after walking into a corner, the light left her eyes, and she immediately became still.

Chen Mu smiled at the sight, then walked up to Stelle and said, "Stelle, you don't need to rush your decision. Himeko and the others will still be staying at the Space Station for a while, so you have time to think it over carefully."

"Mm."

Stelle looked at Chen Mu and nodded seriously.

"That's right, there's no need to rush. Just make your decision before the Express leaves, then come tell me."

Himeko also spoke with a smile from the side.

Only March 7th said without any attempt to hide it, "Hey! Stelle, come on, come on! The Stellaron Express is great, and Trailblazing is really fun too! I super hope you'll come aboard the Stellaron Express."

"Dan Heng on the train is always wearing that stern face, and he keeps lecturing me over every little thing. I'm seriously getting sick of it! Himeko and Uncle Yang are elders, too..."

"Oh, right! How about we go take a look at the train right now? I promise! You'll definitely like it there!"

March 7th kept talking.

She would not force Stelle to make a decision, but she could persuade her.

She felt that she and Stelle really clicked, and she did not want to part ways with her here.

By the end, she even wanted to drag Stelle aboard the train for a look.

Although Stelle wore a helpless expression, her smile showed that she was actually in a very good mood.

Naturally, she did not resist and let March 7th pull her toward the Stellaron Express.

Chen Mu and Himeko exchanged a glance.

Their faces were likewise full of smiles as they silently followed after them.

"Stelle, let me tell you..."

Along the way, in order to coax Stelle onto the Stellaron Express, March 7th kept telling her about the benefits of joining the Stellaron Express.
