Chapter 320
It seems that for Himeko, the Stellaron Hunter is more terrifying than 64 Stellaron combined.
"Sigh, are there already Stellaron Hunters?"
"That's right, they are all vicious and wanted criminals with bounties in the billions. Baby, don't play with them."
"Oh..."
"Kafka is Stellaron Hunter." After seeing Himeko sit down with satisfaction, Chen Li leaned closer to Xing and whispered.
"But then again..." Xing's tone shifted.
"Hmm? Chen Li, come here for a moment. Let's discuss the child's education." Himeko put down her coffee again.
Himeko didn't know what Chen Li and Xing had said, but she knew that Xing's attitude had changed.
"Huh, me? What does this have to do with me?" Chen Li was taken aback.
I'm still a child!
"Don't be nervous. I just hope you can observe and view Xing from the perspective of a normal person, rather than from the perspective of a genius... Miraculous Item and such may still be too advanced for Xing."
"You must confiscate the Star's Miraculous Item."
"Of course not, I just wanted to ask Chen Li if you have any... backup plans in case Xing Ruo really uses up all four of her powers." Himeko shook her head.
Himeko isn't stupid; for the Nameless Guest, danger could strike at any moment.
Those dangers don't talk to you about the Minor Protection Law.
Himeko was fairly satisfied with the Star's Miraculous Item. If anyone really wanted to harm the Star, then let those people talk to the Stellaron.
Moreover, because of the Stellaron's "loyalty," it will not accidentally injure others when it explodes, which is equivalent to a targeted explosion, so Himeko has no reason to object.
"That's easy, she just needs to watch more ads and collect enough Resurrection Cards, right?"
"Resurrection Card? What's that?" Himeko, somewhat puzzled.
"I almost forgot, Himeko, you don't have Friends Circle Terminal... Here." After handing Himeko a Friends Circle Terminal, Chen Li also forwarded her a link to Resurrection Card.
After Chen Li finished crafting the Miraculous Item yesterday, he was so busy running away that he forgot about these important matters.
Chen Li originally wanted to give Himeko a little something extra, like asking her, "Do you want to resurrect an Aeon or an Emanator?"
"Can this Resurrection Card revive anything?" Himeko was somewhat surprised when she saw the Resurrection Card.
If the effects of the Miraculous Item Chen Li forged in the past were still within the realm of common sense, then this Miraculous Item truly transcends common sense.
"Yes."
"Even Aeon can be resurrected?"
"Yes, provided there's a connection. For example, Pathstrider can choose to resurrect the Aeon of their Path..."
"Real?"
"But you need my permission first!"
"That..."
"That's right, the Trailblaze Aeon is also an option."
"This..."
"But Miss Himeko, I think we should talk about Hoshi's education first."
"..." Himeko was speechless.
She holds a grudge so badly.
"No, I don't hold grudges, because I usually settle scores on the spot, just like now. Alright, let's talk about the issue of resurrecting the Trailblaze Aeon, shall we?" Chen Li said.
After all, Chen Li doesn't like to hold grudges.
Moreover, the resurrection of the Trailblaze Aeon is indeed no different from the entire Great Life.
The big one is alive.
Abbreviation: Big Job!
"What?" Pom-Pom, who had been chasing Chen Li for a long time only to find that Chen Li had returned to the Parlor Car, dropped the broom in her hand upon hearing Chen Li's words.
"I have a spot in the Aeon Revival Match. I came to the Astral Express to inquire whether the Trailblaze Aeon is interested in participating?"
"I'll participate! I'll participate!" Pom-Pom nodded frantically.
"Just kidding." Chen Li suddenly waved his hand.
"What?! Chen Li, I want to have a match with you..."
"Actually, I have more than one spot. What were you trying to say?"
However, Chen Li really wanted to organize an Aeon Revival Match.
Shout it throughout the universe, "The Aeon Revival Match officially begins today!" Who knows how many Starstones and Crystals you could reap?
Maybe we can even get a Miracle Card.
"Ahem, I was asking Chen Li if you have any dirty clothes that I can wash for you." Pom-Pom coughed twice.
"However, this Revival Match doesn't guarantee a revival..."
"Don't joke about resurrecting the Aeon!"
"But you can participate repeatedly..."
"But then again... A Kivili probably wouldn't mind."
"I think so too. Come on, everyone get a link to the Friends Circle Terminal and the Resurrection Card." Chen Li handed the Friends Circle Terminal to Pom-Pom.
"Can I participate in the Revival Match by simply clicking this link to register?"
"No. Clicking this link will take you to an ad. Collect 10 fragments to synthesize a Resurrection Card, which will allow you to select a player to participate in the Revival Match. Each ad is 30 seconds long, but you'll need to watch it about 3,000 times to synthesize one Resurrection Card, because everyone will inevitably have one Resurrection Card fragment that's difficult to collect," Chen Li explained.
"That's wonderful! We have so many people on the Astral Express; we can definitely exchange fragments..."
"The fragments cannot be exchanged."
"... Alright." Although there is no portable path, Pom-Pom will not give up as long as there is hope of reviving the Aeon.
At worst, I'll just watch ads for a month and collect 30 Resurrection Cards!
"What should I offer in exchange for the right to use this Miraculous Item?" Pom-Pom asked.
"Don't be so formal, this is a newbie perk that everyone in my Friends Circle gets. But if you really want to repay me and insist on giving me seventeen or eighteen Stellaron, I won't mind. Or if everyone gets an Exclusive Profession, I won't mind either."
"Stellaron... The train does keep a few. You can take them if you want." Pom-Pom and Himeko exchanged a glance, nodded in unison, and then Himeko spoke.
"As for my Exclusive Profession, I've heard Xing mention it, but I can't leave the Astral Express," Pom-Pom said, somewhat disappointed.
"No problem, we can move the Astral Express to this other world too!"
"Ah?"
"Isn't Trailblaze another world considered Trailblaze? It's a good opportunity to earn some Trailblaze energy."
"Will this... work?" Pom-Pom scratched her head.
"The Astral Express alone won't do, but with someone assisting, it'll be fine. Anyway, while the Astral Express is repairing itself, I'll take you to see the scenery of another world, and then give each of you a unique job."
"The sooner you join Exclusive Profession, the sooner you can enjoy it. Trust me!"
"Once we're in Friends Circle, we're all friends. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities for them to help me out in the future, so there's no need to be shy."
"Don't refuse or decline. Resurrection Cards are something you can use to collect resurrection cards if a relative has died, or to collect them for yourself if no relative has died. You'll always find a use for them."
"I was just wondering how to transport this whole train car of jellyfish to the Haruhi Suzumiya's World, and now I have an excuse! It makes perfect sense, but it doesn't quite fit the rules of isekai (another world) travel."
Chen Li's best efforts in sales are her "Exclusive Profession".
Every additional group member with their Exclusive Profession adds another layer of strength to the Friends Circle.
Especially after Chen Li decided to forge his Friends Circle into his own Two-star Artifact, perhaps having one more group member is equivalent to having one more Miraculous Item.
Chen Li especially favored these group members who each had their own strengths and unique skills!
"Um...should we discuss this with the other passengers?" Pom-Pom glanced at Himeko.
Although Himeko is the navigator of the Astral Express, in their past adventures, the next destination for each trip was chosen by everyone through a vote.
The originally planned destination for this trip was a beautiful mining planet called Jarilo VI...
"We can pick Welt up on the way," Chen Li gave them a reason.
"Then there's no other way. Everyone in the car has to be together!" Pom-Pom nodded.
"Star, go call Dan Heng and Little March..." Himeko called out to Star, who was playing on her phone.
"Hmm?" Xing turned her head to look this way, and then looked up at the sky the next second.
Chen Li also made the same gesture at the same time.
"Buzz!" An Amber giant, as large as a galaxy and as thick as a city wall, cast its gaze upon Xing.
"What... did you do?" Chen Li was stunned after noticing that Xing had been glanced at by the Trailblaze Aeon, and didn't even take a bite immediately.
"N-nothing."
"Really nothing?"
"I just posted one thing on my Friends Circle. Look..." Xing handed her phone to Chen Li.
[On the second day after birth, I took out a loan to acquire my first truly unique Miraculous Item. Please let everyone know. (Screenshot of the Miraculous Item's effect) Killing Life is for the sake of protecting life, Sever Karma is not killing people. jpg]
Image caption: Xing is holding a baseball bat in one hand and Poké Ball in the other, with the title "Art is Explosion" above her head.
Likes: Kliper, Aha
Comments: None.
"... Why are you in the Aeon group?" Chen Li was stunned when he saw the person who liked the post, and then he looked at Star's group chat groups in disbelief.
No, buddy.
"I don't know, Aha. By the way, who is Aha? And who is Kliper?"
"... Aha is the Aeon of Joy, and Kreepo is the Preservation Aeon, who is the giant from earlier. By the way... where did you hear the last sentence of that post you made on your Friends Circle?"
"That's what Aha taught them."
"..." Chen Li had no doubt that this was Aha's doing.
But Chen Li felt there was no need to trouble Aha, since Cocolia would dedicate herself to helping Xing embark on Path of Preservation once they arrived in Belobog.
"So, am I embarking on Path of Preservation?" Xing asked uncertainly.
"Half, I guess," Chen Li said after thinking for a moment.
As a unique communication Miraculous Item for Friends Circle at the one-and-a-half-star level (above one star but below two stars), liking posts is also a form of communication and attention. With Aha interfering, it's not unreasonable that it attracted the attention of the Preservation Aeon.
However, it's unclear whether Kliper thought that Star, wielding a baseball bat in one hand and Poké Ball in the other, resembled Cripper himself when beating up Ouroboros, or whether he truly believed Star had the potential to embark on Path of Preservation...
"You haven't fully embarked on the Path of Preservation yet, because you may not fully understand the meaning of Preservation, but you've taken a different path... The current situation is that you can use the power of the Path of Preservation, but you are only half a Path of Preservation."
Waiting, sacrifice, and protection are the manifestations of Path of Preservation.
"Half?"
"Yes. Just treat it as Path of Preservation your life."
The stars are allowed to walk on the Path of Preservation by the Preservation Aeon, rather than stepping onto it voluntarily.
The latter is equivalent to joining a company through an interview, while the former is equivalent to internal recruitment.
Whether you can achieve results in this position, give it a try first and then see. (Internship)
After all, Path is the domain of this Aeon.
The same principle applies to Emanator.
The Aeon can appoint whomever he wants as Emanator, or as a Pathstrider, as he desires.
Chen Li couldn't help but begin to suspect Aha's motives...
What big stunt is this kid up to now?
Or perhaps... the Star is actually the illegitimate child of the Aeon of Joy and the Trailblaze Aeon?
Well, it's not impossible.
