Inside the Train.

Herta was still rapidly scrolling through the screen.

Asta, on the other hand, had selected the Warship she wanted to buy, but she didn't have enough Stellar Jade.

[Product: Galaxy-Class Battleship Product Description: A Galaxy-Class Battleship, capable of accommodating 1 million crew members, fully equipped with facilities and amenities, and includes one maximum-sized Stellar System-Class Two-Dimensional Foil internally. Price: 1 million Credits.]

Asta looked at Ye Yun and pleaded.

"Ye Yun, I want to buy this, but I don't have enough Stellar Jade. Can you hold it for me? I'll have someone collect Stellar Jade as soon as I get back."

Ye Yun smiled and agreed. Among his customers, he estimated that only Asta would be interested in this item.

Besides, as long as the Credits were sufficient, the System could easily produce even 100 of them.

"Okay, I'll hold it for you. Let's exchange contact information, and you can contact me when you're ready to buy."

Asta was overjoyed to see Ye Yun agree. She took out her Mobile Phone and added Ye Yun's contact information.

"Thank you, Ye Yun."

Ye Yun shook his head, indicating it was no big deal.

Afterward, Asta went to the side to contact someone to collect Stellar Jade.

Ye Yun looked at Herta.

"Yo, still haven't found something you want to buy?"

Herta shook her head.

"I have, but I don't have enough money. How about a discount?"

Ye Yun spread his hands.

"I can't do that. It's a small business, no credit."

Herta scoffed and gave Ye Yun a disdainful look.

"Cheapskate."

Herta turned her head, thought for a moment, and spent 10,000 Credits to buy a Protoss Probe.

[Product: Protoss Probe Product Description: A Protoss Race "Builder" unit, capable of materializing structures using resource projection. Price: 10,000 Credits]

Ye Yun looked at the small, round-headed Probe next to Herta, looking around here and there, and couldn't quite figure out why Herta bought this.

"What did you buy this for?"

Herta patted the small Probe's smooth head.

"I'll take it back and modify it. I happen to need a mechanical assistant."

The small Probe, seeing its owner pat its head, looked up at its owner.

"Beep~ Beep~"

Herta jumped off the Bar Stool and called out to Asta on the side.

"Asta, let's go, we're heading back."

Asta snapped back to attention and left Ye Yun's shop with Herta.

After Herta and Asta returned to Herta Space Station by Warship.

Herta immediately took the Probe into her Laboratory.

Asta stood outside the door, and soon heard the small Probe's screams from inside.

"Beep!!!! Beep!!!!"

Half an hour later.

Herta walked out with a brand new small Probe.

Asta looked at the small Probe and felt like there wasn't any change?

"Ms. Herta, what modifications did you make to it? It looks exactly the same to me."

Herta patted the small Probe's head.

"Dumbbell No. 1, store that pot of flowers."

Dumbbell No. 1 was the name Herta gave the small Probe. The Probe only had a head, so Herta came up with this name.

Dumbbell No. 1 aimed a beam of light at the flower pot Herta pointed to. The flower pot visibly shrank and flew into the Probe's body.

Herta said.

"I upgraded its intelligent system, added a Folding Space inside, and also added a Shrinking Prism, which can shrink objects."

Dumbbell No. 1 even let out a couple of cooperative barks, circling Herta.

Herta continued,

"This way, when I do experiments in the future, I won't have to search everywhere for materials. I can just have Dumbbell No. 1 help me collect them."

Asta was quite shocked upon hearing this.

This Dumbbell No. 1 was indeed very convenient. She even wanted one herself.

It could be used to store her cosmetics, some clothes, various pieces of jewelry, documents, and so on.

When she didn't want them, she could put them in Dumbbell No. 1, and when she wanted them, she could just have Dumbbell No. 1 take them out.

Herta saw Asta looking at Dumbbell No. 1 with a look of longing.

"Go find Ye Yun and buy a probe, then come back and I'll help you modify it."

A smile appeared on Asta's face when she heard this.

"Really?! Ms. Herta!"

Herta nodded.

"Yes, it's easy. You go back to your work, I'll take Dumbbell No. 1 and leave first."

After speaking,

Herta took Dumbbell No. 1 and headed towards the Platform, preparing to take a starship to her main body.

After Herta left, Asta contacted Himeko and asked her to help her buy a probe, promising to pay Himeko later.

Himeko agreed and bought one for her.

The scene returned to the Train.

After Herta and Asta left, Ye Yun looked around and suddenly his eyes widened.

No way! Silver Wolf still hadn't left? Didn't Kafka already leave?

In Ye Yun's eyes,

Silver Wolf had taken over a booth all to herself. A super-large display screen had appeared on the table at some point.

Silver Wolf was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, with a beanbag chair behind her as a backrest, holding a controller in her hand, wearing headphones, and engrossed in playing a game.

Silver Wolf was also muttering,

"I'll stun! Eat my old Sun's stick! Hehe! I'll dodge! Such a small tiger, how laughable!"

Ye Yun walked over, wanting to find out what was going on. Just as he got closer, Silver Wolf suddenly slammed the controller down.

"Damn! What kind of ridiculous mechanism is this! I don't believe it, I can't even beat you, a small Tiger Vanguard, today!"

Ye Yun interrupted Silver Wolf and took off her headphones.

Silver Wolf looked up at Ye Yun.

"What are you doing? Why are you touching my headphones? Don't bother me."

Ye Yun asked,

"Kafka has already left, aren't you going back?"

Upon hearing this, Silver Wolf explained,

"Elio said I'll be staying here permanently from now on. What, you're not going to kick me out, are you?"

Ye Yun didn't mind this.

"No, but why did Elio tell you to stay here permanently?"

Silver Wolf picked up the controller and shrugged.

"I don't understand either, but that's what he said. Oh, do you have any rooms here? Can I rent one?"

Ye Yun shook his head.

"I don't have any here. You can ask Himeko."

Upon hearing this, Silver Wolf reluctantly left the sofa and found Himeko.

After a short while, Silver Wolf returned.

Ye Yun asked,

"How was it? Did you rent one?"

Silver Wolf spread her hands.

"No, she said there are no rooms left. Stelle even has to share a room with someone else."

Silver Wolf looked at the booth in front of her.

The space was quite good, with glass partitions all around.

"Are you renting out this booth?"

Ye Yun heard this.

"You don't actually want to live here, do you?"

Silver Wolf nodded.

"At the base, I usually sleep on the living room sofa most of the time. Is it different here? Are you renting it out?"

Ye Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This Silver Wolf really is an Internet Addict Girl. She must be used to sleeping on the sofa because she often stays up late playing games.

"No need to rent, you can stay if you want."

Hearing this, Silver Wolf patted Ye Yun's shoulder in satisfaction.

"Loyal! Call me if you need help in the future. I'll help you if I can."

With that, Silver Wolf summoned her keyboard and began modifying the booth using Aether Edit.

There will be another chapter later; the author has to go tighten some screws.
