More than half an hour later, outside the entrance to a cafeteria in the Space Station.
Ye Yun held a bowl of noodles, eating as he watched Himeko, Stelle, and March 7th sitting on a nearby bench browsing through products.
After leaving the little garden earlier, Ye Yun had been searching for somewhere to stay.
But after searching for a while, he had not found lodging; instead, he found this cafeteria.
Upon entering the cafeteria, Ye Yun had planned to buy something to eat.
However, the cafeteria required a Work Permit.
Left with no choice, Ye Yun found Herta and asked her to get him a Space Station work id.
Herta did not care how an uninvited guest like Ye Yun had arrived at the Space Station.
As long as Ye Yun had something that interested Herta, that was enough.
More than ten minutes later, Himeko still had not found what she wanted.
Seeing Himeko close her phone without buying anything, March 7th said,
"Himeko, if there's nothing you like on there, tell Ye Yun what you want.
Didn't he say there was nothing he couldn't get?"
Ye Yun nodded.
"That's right. My goods come from the Myriad Worlds. As long as you have enough Star Coins, you can buy anything you want."
Himeko thought for a moment.
"Do you have a coffee machine? The one on the train just happened to break."
Ye Yun snapped his fingers and directly summoned three Coffee Machines, each floating in the air inside a bubble.
"Take a look and see which of these three Coffee Machines you like.
The first is a Magic Coffee Machine from a Magic World. It comes equipped with a Water Drawing Array and a Grinding Array. Just press the button and it automatically dispenses water. It costs 2,000 Star Coins.
The second is called an Automatic Coffee Machine. It comes from a Technology World; just add coffee beans and water, and it makes coffee. Price: 500 star coins.
The third is called a Spiritual Energy Coffee Machine, from a Xianxia World. It uses Spirit Stones as its energy source, and the coffee it produces can strengthen the body. It costs 3,000 Star Coins. One more thing: a Spirit Stone costs 100 Star Coins and can make 100 cups of coffee."
After hearing Ye Yun's introduction, Himeko immediately fixed her gaze on the Spiritual Energy Coffee Machine.
The coffee made by this machine could actually improve one's physique.
More importantly, this coffee machine was manually operated! What she loved most was hand-brewed coffee.
As for those fully automatic machines with fixed ratios, Himeko had no interest in them at all.
Himeko pointed at the Spiritual Energy Coffee Machine.
"This one, then. But I'll have to trouble you to make a trip with me. I need to return to the train and get some Stellar Jade."
Ye Yun put away the other two Coffee Machines and held the Spiritual Energy Coffee Machine in one hand.
"Let's go. I've got nothing better to do anyway."
Himeko smiled gently.
"Thank you."
Afterward, the four of them headed toward the platform, where the Astral Express was parked.
They chatted and laughed as they walked.
Along the way, they even came across a Common Treasure Chest.
Stelle directly carried Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash over, wiped out the Voidrangers guarding the chest, and took the Stellar Jade inside.
There were five Stellar Jade in total, worth 500 Star Coins when converted!
March 7th was secretly annoyed. Damn it! Why was I one step too slow?!
More than half an hour later, the four finally arrived at the platform.
Looking down from higher ground, Ye Yun saw a retro steam train parked on the platform.
Near the rear carriages, he also saw Welt and Pom-Pom holding cargo manifests and checking the goods.
Seeing Ye Yun staring blankly at the Astral Express, Himeko smiled.
"So? Isn't the Astral Express magnificent?"
Ye Yun nodded without denying it.
"Yeah. I'd heard of the Astral Express long ago, but this is the first time I've properly seen it with my own eyes.
I never expected such a long train to be able to travel through space."
March 7th put her hands on her hips, looking rather proud.
"Of course! Our Astral Express is incredibly, incredibly fast! Whoosh, and it shoots far, far away!"
Himeko pointed at the train.
"Let's go over first."
Following Himeko, Ye Yun, Stelle, and March 7th entered the Observation Car.
Like a curious child, Stelle looked around the Observation Car.
This was Stelle's first time entering the train. She had not expected its exterior to look so retro while the interior décor was so futuristic.
Himeko led Ye Yun and Stelle to a sofa.
"You two sit and rest for a while. I'll go get the Stellar Jade. Little March, go pour two cups of water."
March 7th, who was enthusiastically snapping photos everywhere with her new camera, immediately scampered off to get water.
Himeko headed toward the Lounge Car to retrieve the Stellar Jade from her room.
With nothing else to do, Ye Yun simply opened his phone and continued copying down products.
Seeing this, Stelle moved closer to watch. Every time Ye Yun wrote something down, she looked at it.
Whenever she saw something that interested her, she took out her phone to photograph it for later, so she could find Ye Yun and buy it.
March 7th returned with the water and joined them as well.
More than ten minutes later, Himeko returned to the Observation Car.
Unlike when she had left, a young man was now beside her: Dan Heng.
Dan Heng was one of the Nameless of the Express Crew, with a quiet and taciturn personality.
March 7th was rather surprised to see Dan Heng.
"Well, well~ Dan Heng, you finally decided to come out of the Archives!"
Dan Heng replied in an indifferent tone.
"I was recording information about the Doomsday Beast."
March 7th was speechless. Dan Heng, can't you give me a little more of a reaction?
Forget it, forget it. I should see whether Ye Yun has anything I want to buy.
Himeko handed the Stellar Jade in her hand to Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, there are thirty Stellar Jade here. See if that's enough."
Ye Yun took out a scale.
"Put the Stellar Jade on one side."
At his words, Himeko placed the thirty Stellar Jade on one side of the scale.
The next second, the thirty Stellar Jade vanished, and thirty 100-denomination Star Coins appeared on the other side.
March 7th was standing close by and directly helped Himeko take them down.
"Himeko! These are Star Coins! Come on, I'll teach you how to use them!"
As she spoke, March 7th pulled Himeko over to the floating Spiritual Energy Coffee Machine.
March 7th cleared her throat twice.
"Himeko, watch carefully!"
March 7th grabbed the 3,000 Star Coins and slapped them against the bubble surrounding the Spiritual Energy Coffee Machine.
The bubble and the Star Coins vanished at the same time, and the Spiritual Energy Coffee Machine slowly descended to the floor.
"Ta-da! That's all it takes!"
Himeko looked at the lively March 7th and smiled gently.
"Alright, thank you, March."
March 7th chuckled, feeling incredibly happy inside.
Himeko then turned to Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, could Dan Heng take a look at that product list of yours?"
At that, Ye Yun handed his updated product list to Dan Heng.
Dan Heng merely said thank you before beginning to look through it.
Meanwhile, Himeko picked up the Spiritual Energy Coffee Machine and placed it on a cabinet nearby.
Seeing that Dan Heng was still choosing something, Ye Yun thought for a moment and went over to Himeko to watch.
Looking at the Spirit Stone slot, Himeko suddenly remembered that she had not bought any Spirit Stones yet.
Seeing this, Ye Yun spent 100 Star Coins himself to buy a Spirit Stone.
All Star Coins earned from selling goods belonged to Ye Yun; the system would not take a single one.
"Here, have one. Give it a try."
The corners of Himeko's lips lifted slightly.
"Thank you."
