To his surprise, it actually worked!
That was incredible!
After witnessing the Star Destroyer bombard the Doomsday Beast, March 7th had practically become Chen Mu's little fangirl.
She was now hugging Stelle, her face brimming with joy.
Welt and Dan Heng exchanged a glance, smiles appearing on their faces as well.
If someone like Chen Mu joined the train—
Who would refuse?
"Then, may I ask where Chen Mu is now? We would like to meet him," Himeko asked the researcher before her.
The researcher answered with undisguised displeasure, "Mentor Chen Mu said he still has some research to finish. If the Train Crew is in a hurry to leave, you can go ahead. He'll teleport to the train afterward."
To the Space Station researchers—
The Train Crew was practically tearing down their Space Station's walls.
And the person they were poaching was Mentor Chen Mu!
How could they possibly be polite to the Train Crew?
Who knew what Madame Herta was thinking, agreeing to such a request?
If he did not know his intelligence was nowhere near Madame Herta's, nor Chen Mu's—
He would have voiced his doubts and objections by now!
The researcher was now desperate for the Train Crew to leave. Maybe if they left, Mentor Chen Mu would not board the train.
"I see. There's no need for that. We had no plans to leave just yet. In that case, we'll wait for Chen Mu."
Welt pushed up his glasses and spoke in a deep voice.
They had already intended to stay for a while, and for the sake of that young man, staying longer was undoubtedly worthwhile.
"Do whatever you want."
The researcher glanced at Welt and replied bluntly.
Then, without even offering a farewell, he turned and left without looking back.
Naturally, the Train Crew did not mind the researcher's rudeness.
First, they understood that the Space Station researchers were bound to be emotional right now.
Second, they were all immersed in their own joy.
Elsewhere.
After Chen Mu finished speaking with Herta—
He returned to his laboratory.
He had agreed to Herta's suggestion that he board the Stellaron Express.
But before leaving—
He still wanted to completely finish the Longevity Medicine.
Chen Mu looked at the Longevity Medicine before him, his expression troubled.
To be honest—
He had already done everything he could.
He had reached the limit of his abilities.
Next—
He needed to conduct Biological Experiments to discover the Longevity Medicine's drawbacks before improving it.
However—
Setting aside the difficulty of finding someone for Biological Experiments—
There was also the possibility that the Longevity Medicine's Biological Experiments would reveal nothing in the short term.
He would have to wait a long time to learn of its flaws.
Take being Mara-struck, for example. That was something that only became apparent after living for a thousand years.
The Longevity Medicine Chen Mu had made certainly had none of those obvious minor defects. What he feared were hidden dangers that would only erupt after a long time.
Because of this—
Chen Mu was naturally quite troubled.
Just then—
Chen Mu suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
After opening the Chat Group—
Chen Mu looked at the Points displayed there and suddenly had an idea.
Then—
"Ha ha ha! Of course, Points can help me!"
Chen Mu burst out laughing, his face full of delight.
Because he had discovered—
He could actually use Points to assist with his research.
With the help of Points—
The hidden flaws in the Longevity Medicine—
Were exposed before him without hesitation.
All that remained—
Was for him to improve and complete it.
Then the Longevity Medicine would be a complete success.
He immediately got to work.
With the help of Points, Chen Mu promptly began experimenting again, his face filled with excitement.
It was not only because the Longevity Medicine could finally be completed.
The other reason was that this function of Points would surely prove endlessly useful in the future, offering immense help to any research Chen Mu conducted.
Of course—
This also consumed a tremendous amount of Points.
Chen Mu's Points—
Plummeted at a visibly frantic pace.
Until one day and one night later—
Chen Mu finally completed the Longevity Medicine.
A Longevity Medicine with no side effects had appeared in the Star Rail World.

Lower It a Little More
Chen Mu looked at the Longevity Medicine he had finally developed successfully, his face naturally full of surprise and joy.
Without another thought—
He excitedly walked out of the laboratory.
However—
The moment he stepped outside—
Chen Mu froze.
Because he saw—
At the entrance to the laboratory—
Asta was squatting against the wall. He did not know how long she had been there, but her eyes were red and tear stains still marked her face. She had clearly been crying.
"X-Xiao Mu, are you done?"
When she saw Chen Mu emerge, Asta hurriedly wiped her cheeks and stood up as she spoke to him.
"How long have you been here?"
Chen Mu looked at Asta with a stunned expression.
"Hehe, not that long."
Asta chuckled and answered casually.
Yet Chen Mu could see that Asta's legs were trembling slightly, so he naturally knew she was not telling the truth.
"You could have just come in. Why were you waiting outside?" Chen Mu asked.
Asta replied, "Wasn't I worried about disturbing you?"
"Don't you know me by now? I'm not that easy to disturb." Chen Mu tapped Asta on the head and said irritably.
Asta stuck out her small tongue.
This time, she did not emphasize her authority as his older sister. Instead, she seemed to be acting cute.
The two fooled around for a moment.
Only then did Asta ask, "Xiao Mu, I heard you're going to board the Stellaron Express?"
Chen Mu nodded. "Mm, more or less. I want to go out and see the world. Herta also suggested that it would be good for me to travel on the train."
"Um... then will you come back?" Asta asked uneasily.
"What are you saying? Of course I'll come back!"
Chen Mu did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Did you forget the Teleportation Array we invented? Not only will I come back, I can return whenever I want, wherever I am. I'll come back often too, all right?"
"That's true." Asta let out a foolish laugh.
Chen Mu smiled. "Asta, you're worrying far too much. You..."
Chen Mu naturally knew what Asta was worried about. She was simply afraid that after he left the Space Station, she would never see him again.
But that was impossible.
Chen Mu smiled and was just about to comfort Asta.
However, before Chen Mu could finish speaking—
Asta suddenly threw her arms around him.
Chen Mu froze, and the rest of his words would not come out.
"I know... but it still hurts."
After hugging Chen Mu, Asta's voice gradually became choked with emotion as she said:
"Because Xiao Mu and I have never been apart, right? Whether it was when we were children at home, or when we later came to the Space Station together, we were never separated..."
Hearing this—
Chen Mu fell silent as well. He gently hugged Asta, stroked her pink hair, and said seriously:
"Don't worry. I'll come back often, I promise. It will be no different from when I'm at the Space Station."
Chen Mu's voice was firm and gentle.
