Chapter 321
"Let's go Trailblaze the other world first! I'll take you to the Honkai world to pick someone up," Chen Li said.
"Mr. Welt, is that right?"
"No, it's Pardo. I'll also give each of you a Stigmata."
Welt? Just an excuse to send the people on the Astral Express to the Honkai world.
Welt is still struggling to erase his dark past.
As for Jarilo VI...
No one will die if the Astral Express arrives two days late.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Sampo was in a real bind looking at Acheron, who was standing arrogantly in front of Kliper Castle.
Girl, what are you doing?
Judging people by their names is not a good idea!
Please don't assume that everyone named Cocolia is a bad person, okay?
But it's too late now... call for backup!
The show must go on; how can we let unexpected actors disrupt the proceedings?
As for who to screw over... who to shake, Sampo already has an idea.
"Hey, is this Sparkle? I have a really big problem that I need your help with. It's just that we need to work together to solve a problem."
"What trouble?"
"It's not a difficult problem. What difficult problems could there be in my poor, remote place? I just want you to help me persuade the Lady to change her life goals."
"The Lady?"
"Yes, the Lady named Acheron..."
"Yellow what?"
"The Acheron".
What spring?
"The Acheron".
"Huang what spring?"
"Didn't you just say it out loud? Acheron!"
"..." Sparkle touched her buttocks, feeling a slight pain.
Sparkle had no idea how sharp Acheron's knife was, because she died with a single blow and felt no pain at all.
But Sparkle has truly experienced firsthand how painful it is when Acheron's scabbard hits someone many times.
"Okay." Sparkle squinted her eyes.
"Real?"
"Of course! Wait for my good news! I'll go find someone first! I'll make sure that guy from the Acheron suffers a crushing defeat! He'll wail and cry his heart out! He'll be overwhelmed with emotion!"
"Really? That's amazing. Then... is there anything I need to do in return?"
"Of course! Miraculous Item and magic don't come for free!"
"Is it Miracle?"
"That's not important. Hmph, just wait and see!"
"Are you referring to the Acheron or to me?"
"Oh, dear Sampo, how could you think of me like that? By the God of Fun, isn't it obvious who I'm referring to? The Masked Fool doesn't lie to the Masked Fool, and liars get a 30-minute beating from the God of Fun!"
"Phew... Okay, I believe you."
Even Sampo didn't think that Sparkle could be so heartless as to joke about the God of Fun.
Chapter 274 Sparkle: Chen Li, do you want a wife? Although she's a bit directionally challenged (8k) "Attention passengers, attention passengers, the Astral Express will depart in 30 minutes. Passengers who have not yet boarded, please board as soon as possible!" Train Conductor Pom-Pom dutifully broadcast through the Astral Express's loudspeaker system.
"I never expected that bringing the Astral Express to this world would actually grant me Trailblaze energy," Himeko said with some surprise.
"What will surprise you even more is yet to come. And this isn't entirely another world; it's more like a world that the Trailblaze Aeon hasn't been to before. It's the boundary of the world. The place we're going to in a bit is the real other world," Chen Li said, organizing his existing entries.
Chen Li has a lot of work to do today.
Needless to say, Chen Li was willing to spend a lot of money on the task of creating a one-star monster for the fairy tale because this monster would really be very versatile.
Who would refuse to slaughter a god when they have nothing better to do?
Upgrading Friends Circle to Two-star Artifact is a challenge for Chen Li. It's also a challenge to his wallet.
Chen Li felt that increasing the number of friends with Exclusive Professions in his Friends Circle might help him achieve better results after creating Two-star Artifact, so he borrowed the Astral Express for this purpose.
"What kind of big scenes haven't we Nameless Guests seen? How could we be easily surprised? Himeko is an even more senior Nameless Guest!" March 7th felt that Chen Li was underestimating the Nameless Guests!
"I won't be surprised no matter what happens next," Himeko nodded.
After all, I even heard about the Aeon Revival Match today...
There's nothing surprising about it anymore.
"Is this the Astral Express that Welt mentioned?" The first passenger of the Astral Express has arrived.
"That's right, welcome to... Hime- Himeko?" When March 7th turned around and saw the person walking into the Astral Express, she froze on the spot.
March 7th glanced at Himeko in front of her, then at Himeko behind her drinking coffee.
"Oh no! The Masked Fool has chased us into this other world!"
"Calm down. See, I told you the surprise is yet to come. Let me introduce you. Her name is Himeko, Murata Himeko. She was supposed to become a genius physicist, but she ended up becoming a Valkyrie fights for all that is good in the world," Chen Li introduced.
"No need to praise me like that... I can't bear the praise of fighting for all the good things in the world. I'm just a school teacher right now." Murata Himeko shook her head.
Murata Himeko felt that life was unpredictable. Just a few days ago, she was fighting against the Honkai, but a few days later, the Honkai beasts became her pets. As a result, Himeko, the Valkyrie, quickly lost her job and had to return to the St. Freya Academy as a teacher.
"I feel like we have a lot to talk about. Would you like a cup of coffee?"
Himeko didn't need Chen Li to explain further, because in the Worldview of Honkai: Star Rail, planets are isolated from each other by special energy. Before the Path of Trailblaze appeared, only the Emanator could break through this boundary to travel to other worlds.
Because of the isolation between worlds, there will always be one or two identical or similar worlds in the Milky Way, which encompasses countless worlds.
Different worlds, yet we are similar.
Himeko always felt that she could get along with this Murata Himeko.
Moreover, Himeko imagination, but the Murata Himeko before her, who was about the same age and looked similar to her, gave Himeko a feeling that was very similar to a broken sword Miraculous Item in the Herta Space Station's collection.
Beneath its seemingly sharp exterior lies a boundless tenderness.
"Coffee? That's a drink I really miss. No problem." Murata Himeko nodded happily.
As a genius girl who was able to enter Caltech at the age of 15, Murata Himeko always aimed to become a physicist like her father, but unfortunately the Honkai destroyed everything.
If it weren't for the Honkai, Murata Himeko would likely have become an excellent scholar.
Coffee was Murata Himeko's favorite drink.
Because coffee goes well with high-intensity scientific research.
Later, she developed a liking for drinking, simply because Himeko had a high rejection rate for Artificial Stigmata, Himeko would often feel pain, so she needed alcohol to numb the pain.
Now, with the Stigmata of the Cocoon of Eternity, Himeko has been freed from this pain.
Perhaps this invitation will be the opportunity for me to rediscover my love for coffee.
Murata Himeko readily accepted Himeko's coffee invitation without any suspicion.
After all, how bad can coffee that you brew yourself really be?
"..." Himeko stared at the indescribable thing before her, lost in thought.
"Chen Li, let me ask you a question quietly." Murata Himeko temporarily bid farewell to Himeko and came to Chen Li's side with a cup of coffee.
"What's the problem?"
"Are there any Parallel World versions of ourselves where killing ourselves grants us double the power?"
No, why do you ask that?
"..." Murata Himeko fell into deep thought.
No, really? Are you sure?
"Himeko, don't judge a book by its cover. Just because another Himeko's coffee looks bad doesn't mean it really tastes bad. Once you actually take a sip, you'll find..."
"... It really tastes awful!" With a Trailblaze spirit, Murata Himeko took a small sip of Himeko's coffee, then her face scrunched up in disgust.
Murata Himeko said she shouldn't have believed Himeko's nonsense, such as: since you no longer need to fight for survival, embrace the belief of Trailblaze and Trailblaze those futures that you have never set foot in before, which may be more suitable for you.
Himeko's intellectual and gentle image also made Murata Himeko nostalgic for the past, and thus she was very moved.
It turns out that living in your comfort zone isn't such a bad thing.
"Don't worry, I'll help you." Chen Li put a sugar cube into the coffee.
"That's fine."
"That's right."
With a skeptical attitude, Murata Himeko took a small sip, and then her eyes lit up as she found the coffee to be incredibly delicious.
It was so delicious that even though Himeko felt her esophagus was burning, Himeko felt it was a necessary sacrifice.
"Could this also be part of another of my plans? So it was because I forgot to add sugar cubes?" Murata Himeko pondered.
"No, not at all. The other way around, your coffee just tastes terrible. The reason you're enjoying it now is because I remade it," Chen Li said.
The [God of Gluttony] Miracle Card can make food delicious, and even more so, unparalleled in its deliciousness.
"Drink it quickly, or the gods might snatch it away."
"Oh." Murata Himeko n't understand, but she chose to trust him and continued chatting with her other self while holding her cup of coffee.
Murata Himeko looked at Himeko and felt as if she were seeing another version of herself living in a world that had not yet Honkai.
Therefore, Murata Himeko wanted to learn more.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!" Tet suddenly appeared out of nowhere and headed straight for the cup of coffee that Murata Himeko was holding.
But he was pulled back by the back of his collar by Chen Li when he was only halfway there.
"Here, have some and play with it." Chen Li casually pinched a dumpling and handed it to Tet.
"It smells so good! What's this smell?" Just after finishing Tet's problem, Tonghua suddenly appeared out of nowhere and reached out to snatch Tet's dumpling.
"Here, have some and play." Chen Li made another dumpling and gave it to Tonghua.
The God of Gluttony Miracle Card grants food unparalleled deliciousness, but it also passively tempts the gods.
The "food" in "food god" has this meaning.
Do you think Chen Li is cooking? No, Chen Li is cooking for his own food (the gods).
This is why Chen Li never cooks by himself—he's afraid of attracting some strange or unusual things.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!" Aha suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Aha may have been Peeping all along, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation.
"..." Chen Li pinched another dumpling and tossed it to the other person.
Making rice balls is simple: take out the rice and knead it into a ball.
In this way, a dish sufficient to tempt the gods was prepared.
"Chen Li, Chen Li, there are people in this world who look like Himeko, are there people who look like me?" March 7th, holding a camera, ran up to Chen Li with curiosity in her eyes.
What do you want to do?
"I'd like to take a picture with you." March 7th waved the camera in her hand.
"No."
