"Okay! In March 7th, the job of store manager 2.0 is yours!" Xing made a decisive decision and quickly left the seemingly dilapidated milk tea shop.

"Huh? She just ran off like that, all fresh and beautiful?"

Watching Xing's retreating figure, March 7th was somewhat stunned. So, she was left to do all the cleaning work by herself?

We should act with conscience... We can't let the Antimatter Legion eat up all of people's consciences!

Never mind... Xing is free; she can't stop her from leaving if she wants to.

As for Teacher Dan Heng, the shop is too small, so he can't use the move "Azure Dragon Cleanses the World, My Friend," and naturally, he doesn't get a role.

Within a minute, only March 7th remained in the milk tea shop.

"Sigh... Everyone's busy... It's good to be busy..."

For some reason, half a sentence suddenly popped into her ear:

[Everyone will part from one person, but that person will watch over [ Eternity ]...]

"Huh? What's that sound?" March 7th instantly perked up. "Could it be that I'm about to embark on a very extraordinary [ Eternity ] Path?"

The story has two parts, the other side

A golden arc of electricity flashed by, Galactic Baseballer officially arrived! How could the [ Trailblaze ] journey end here? The exploration of this [ Eternity Holy City ] is far from over!

"Phew~ This ' Flipping Coin ' is actually quite useful. But..."

She glanced at Dan Heng, who had somehow followed them, and her lips twitched. "Teacher Dan Heng is too fast! He can actually keep up with Galactic Baseballer..."

Dan Heng did not answer, but turned his gaze forward, where the pale purple figure he had met once before was standing not far away.

"That's... the lady we met earlier."

"Wow~ Okhema is so small. It's nice to meet you again, Castorice." Xing had already stepped forward to greet her.

"Ah... you are two distinguished guests."

"Welcome to the Earth Beast's abode... But even so, I just happened to be passing by."

"You're here to relax too?"

"Mmm. I like the scent here. It's so sweet... a lifelike fragrance," Castorice said gently.

"Speaking of which, is Castorice Die also Chrysos Heirs?"

"Yes." A fleeting look of disappointment crossed her face.

Such a concise answer left Dan Heng speechless, "... Sorry, if you don't want to talk about this anymore, I'll stop here."

"Thank you, Mr. Dan Heng."

After speaking, there was another silence between Castorice and Dan Heng. Xing scratched her head, feeling that there had been too many silences today. This couldn't go on. At crucial moments, they would still have to rely on her, the Galactic Baseballer!

Xing remained silent, then turned to the Earth Beast, signaling him to lighten the mood.

"... Buzz!"

The Earth Beast roared, and then began a new round of staring contest with Xing.

"Ah, it seems the child is a bit hungry." Castorice turned around and suggested, "You two have come at the perfect time. Would you like to try feeding the Earth Beast?"

"Their feed is clean; it's dry red soil. There's some right there."

Upon seeing this, Xing immediately stepped forward and grabbed a large handful of red soil crystals.

"For the first feeding, just give them a small piece."

"No problem, the child has a big appetite. May I try some?"

"Of course you can. But it tastes very bitter and is not easy to digest."

"..."

Castorice's serious tone immediately dispelled Xing's wild idea. After a brief silence, Xing gently picked up a piece of red clay from the container.

Looking up, she saw the Earth Beast watching her every move with eager eyes, as if to say, 'Don't mess this up.'

"Whoosh..." The Earth Beast let out a slow but joyful cry, clearly anticipating the performance of its new keeper, Xing.

Xing couldn't help but wonder, should it really be allowed to get what it wants so easily? Or...?

Well, anyway, let's first give the Earth Beast a cup of [ Eternity ] milk tea. Aglaea only said not to let the public know about this special milk tea, but she didn't say not to let her Chrysos Heirs colleagues know, right?

Xing suddenly had a bold idea: why not... let Dan Heng eat the feed?

"... Don't even think about it." The next second, Dan Heng's voice came from not far away.

Xing clicked his tongue. Damn it, when did he Guild mind-reading?

After feeding the Earth Beast milk tea, Xing stared intently at the red clod of earth in her hand, then looked up to confirm the Earth Beast's gaze.

"... buzzing?"

In that instant, Xing saw confusion... excitement... hesitation... and perhaps even a hint of hidden provocation? Tsk, this guy's a real mixed bag.

From childhood to adulthood... well, it hasn't been that long, but Xing has never been looked down upon by any animal.

Now, there seems to be only one way to preserve the dignity of the Galactic Baseballer...

Xingyi made a ruthless move and bit off a corner of the red cube. Beside her, two spectators who witnessed this scene gasped in disbelief.

"Hiss... We really should have filmed this and shown it to March 7th..." Dan Heng gasped, worried that Xing might choke from eating too fast, and reminded her:

"Want a cup of milk tea to help me through this?"

"Ah..."

Castorice was also shocked by this scene. As expected of Trailblazer from outer space, she seemed to understand the meaning of " Trailblaze ".

Xing's expression was complicated. Castorice hadn't lied to her; the red clay did indeed taste quite... bitter. This bitterness was unlike any strong medicine, even more potent than Jiaoqiu's " Stumble Powder ".

It struck at the softest part of people's hearts, causing Xing to begin to question the meaning of " Trailblaze ".

To Xing's surprise, the red soil crystals were not hard, but this may not be a good thing.

After chewing a few times, the sticky red clay fragments stuck to her teeth, and no matter how hard she tried to scrape and shake them off with her tongue, she couldn't get them off.

Therefore, Xing was forced to use the [ Eternity ] Milk Tea, holding it in her mouth and trying her best to wash away the remaining clay, but the bitterness was not easily dispelled...

Ah, is this the suffering of Eternity...? She was beginning to understand the meaning of Eternity.

"Buzzing..."

The Earth Beast before him let out a mocking cry. Now, Xing not only received its ridicule, but also had to continue his duty of feeding it...

"Haha... it seems something unexpected happened." Castorice chuckled softly.

This time, Xing behaved itself and fed the Earth Beast red soil feed, which made the big guy in front of him let out a satisfied cry.

She didn't know how the Earth Beast chewed and digested these clods of earth—but in their eyes, these hard red clods of earth must have tasted just as delicious as freshly fried, sizzling steaks.

"Buzzing!"

"It seems quite happy." Xing stroked her chin. It seemed the level of affection had been raised enough that she could start petting it.

Without hesitation, Xing first gently touched the Earth Beast's head, and then vigorously rubbed its neck.

"Whoosh~ whoosh whoosh whoosh!" The Earth Beast showed a very enjoyable expression.

"Very good. Now, go and cook me two dishes."

"Whoosh?"
