It was faster than opening or closing a normal gate.

Considering that he often had to conduct research.

And that the days he would spend with the Space Station would certainly not be short.

That was why, when Himeko and Herta were arguing back then, he had replied that it didn't matter.

With his abilities.

While it was said that he had boarded the Stellaron Express.

Whether he had actually left the Space Station.

That was truly hard to say.

Hearing Chen Mu's words.

The crowd present burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Lord Chen Mu, you are welcome back to the Space Station anytime!"

"Exactly, exactly! Even one day away is still a day! I'll miss you even if it's just for a day! Lord Chen Mu!"

"Lord Chen Mu! I love you! When you go out this time, don't get tricked by the women outside! You still have us, and you still have Station Master Asta!"

"The women outside are all ill-intentioned! Lord Chen Mu, you must be careful! Don't let them deceive you! The sisters of the Space Station are all waiting for Lord Chen Mu! Station Master Asta is also waiting for Lord Chen Mu!"

"Eh? Eh?!!"

Asta's face was flushed red.

She hadn't expected these people to tease her.

In an instant.

Her heart was filled with shyness.

Without the slightest hesitation, she lowered her head, grabbed Chen Mu, and ran toward the train.

She could still hear the crowd exclaiming things like Station Master Asta is running away, Station Master Asta is shy, how can Station Master Asta win over Lord Chen Mu like this, and if Station Master Asta can't do it, they won't be polite anymore.

The scene was filled with sounds of joy and laughter.

Chen Mu, however, remained quite calm.

Although there was a slight flush on his face, he was doing much better than Asta.

And once they boarded the Stellaron Express.

Upon arriving at the Train Hall, Chen Mu finally saw Himeko, Herta, March 7th, Stelle, Welt, and Dan Heng.

Just after Chen Mu and Asta boarded the Stellaron Express, March 7th and Stelle ran over excitedly.

"Chen Mu!!!"

"You are just too incredible!!!"

"I have never seen so many people come to see someone off; it was truly spectacular."

March 7th said, her face full of excitement and brimming with enthusiasm.

She had truly seen something new today.

Chen Mu seemed to possess an infinite charm, one that made everyone around him feel drawn to him involuntarily.

Heaven knows how shocked she was when she woke up this morning and saw so many people outside the train.

"Mm, Chen Mu is amazing."

Stelle nodded from the side, speaking with equal sincerity.

What kind of person could make the entire Space Station come out to see them off?

Stelle's heart was filled with admiration.

At this moment, Herta walked up to Chen Mu and chuckled:

"How does it feel? Were you startled? Everyone at the Space Station came here spontaneously to see you off after hearing the news; no one organized it."

"Indeed. You should know that we had originally planned to wait for you on the platform, but we didn't expect so many people to show up. We had to give the platform to them and wait for you here instead."

Himeko smiled and added.

Chen Mu said, "I was definitely a bit startled. You have to realize I had just stepped out of the laboratory when I was dragged here, and Asta didn't tell me anything beforehand."

Upon hearing this, although Asta's face still held a slight flush, she blinked playfully, looking completely innocent.

Hehe, she just wanted to give Chen Mu a little scare and a surprise~

"Mm-hmm, but those people were just too much! They actually said that we, the Train Crew, would bully you, Chen Mu! We would never do that!"

March 7th clenched her fists and said righteously.

"Oh my, indeed. In this universe, no one dares to overlook Herta Space Station. This makes it so that even we, the Train Crew, wouldn't dare let you suffer even the slightest grievance, Chen Mu."

Himeko blinked, adding playfully from the side.

"That goes without saying. If Chen Mu suffers any grievances out there, I won't let you off the hook, Himeko."

Herta's face was full of smiles as she spoke.

For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, regardless of everything, Chen Mu, although I've agreed to let you leave the space station, you must come back and visit often."

"I still want you to help me teach that Silver Wolf a lesson. That girl actually dared to sneak into my space station and steal my things without my permission?"

Herta gritted her teeth as she spoke to Chen Mu.

That was truly the greatest stain on her reputation.

"That goes without saying. Even if you didn't ask, I would still come back often. You know what my abilities are, and there are still people I care about on the space station," Chen Mu chuckled upon hearing this.

As he spoke, he cast a glance at Asta.

Asta noticed Chen Mu's gaze, her face flushing with a deep red.

"Mm." Herta nodded in satisfaction.

Although she did indeed have the intention of getting revenge on Silver Wolf, it was mostly just an excuse to ensure Chen Mu would return frequently.

"By the way, Herta, before I leave, I have something for you."

As Chen Mu spoke, he produced the Longevity Medicine from the void and handed it to Herta.

Seeing the Longevity Medicine, Herta was stunned, looking at Chen Mu with some confusion.

"I have improved this item once again. I can guarantee that there are no longer any side effects. I hope you will accept it," Chen Mu said.

Among the people Chen Mu knew, Herta was perhaps the only one who could make use of the Longevity Medicine at the moment.

After all, the others were not yet of an age where it was necessary.

Herta, on the other hand—

Although rumors claimed she had already achieved eternal youth.

However, it was hard to say how much of a lifespan actually remained after returning to a youthful state.

The reason Chen Mu said he wanted to complete the Longevity Medicine before leaving the Space Station was precisely because he wanted to finish it and hand it over to Herta before his departure.

"Fine, then I'll accept it."

Herta smiled upon hearing this.

Although the perfect Longevity Medicine sounded absolutely inconceivable, she trusted Chen Mu unconditionally.

"It's getting late, and I assume you're all leaving soon, so I won't bother you any further. Hey, you over there, don't forget to come back and test the Simulated Universe for me often," Herta said to Stelle.

Stelle nodded quickly upon hearing this.

Because Herta had agreed to let Chen Mu board the Astral Express, she now had a very good impression of her.

"Xiao Mu, you must come back to visit the Space Station often. I... I will miss you," Asta said, walking up to Chen Mu with a slight blush on her face.

Chen Mu naturally nodded with a smile.

After a round of pleasantries, Herta and Asta stepped off the Astral Express.

Immediately after, the Astral Express slowly began to move.

Chen Mu stood by the window, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.

On the platform, countless people were waving goodbye to Chen Mu. Herta and Asta stood at the very front.

Standing inside the train, Chen Mu waved back to bid everyone farewell.

It wasn't until the train slowly pulled away from the platform and left the Space Station that the figures grew smaller and smaller, until they were completely out of sight.

They arrived in the vastness of space.

Chen Mu looked at the brilliant starry sky, his gaze somewhat dazed.

March 7th and Stelle exchanged a glance, neither of them stepping forward to disturb Chen Mu.

"Parting is not the end, but a new beginning."

At this moment, Welt walked up to Chen Mu and said softly.

Chen Mu looked at Welt, a smile appearing on his face as he replied, "Actually, I'm not feeling too sad. After all, I can go back anytime. I had always hoped to board the Stellaron Express, but now that I'm truly leaving, I feel a strange sense of melancholy. It seems I've been affected by it a little after all."

"That's good to hear."

Welt smiled. "In any case, welcome aboard the Stellaron Express, Chen Mu."

To be seen off by so many people at the Space Station—it was enough to prove just how outstanding this young man was.

Dan Heng walked up to Chen Mu and gave him a friendly nod as well.

"Welcome, welcome, Passenger Chen Mu-pa! I am the Conductor of the Stellaron ExpressPom-Pom. Please take care of me from now on-pa!"

Pom-Pom tiptoed over to Chen Mu, looking at him with curiosity, and spoke happily as well.

"Please take care of me too, little Pom-Pom."

Chen Mu nodded at Welt and Dan Heng, then crouched down to pat Pom-Pom on the head, a full smile on his face.

"Ooh..."

Pom-Pom let out an embarrassed sound.

However, it didn't dodge away; instead, it looked as if it were actually enjoying the petting.

"Hey, hey?!!"

Just then, March 7th saw this scene and let out a sudden exclamation of shock, saying in disbelief:

"Since when did Pom-Pom get so close to Chen Mu?! Whenever I try to pat Pom-Pom's head, it always resists! I should be closer to Pom-Pom, right? Chen Mu just got on the train and has only met Pom-Pom twice?!!"
