Crossing the Star Railway: The Beginning of the Starry Sky Twins

“…”

After these words were spoken, Zhou Xingxing and Qiong were stunned.

I thought it was something else? This is it!

However, Zhou Xingxing couldn't help but think too much about Leir's sudden friendship.

"This is very valuable information. Miss Leir, are you just going to give it to us?"

"It may be extremely valuable to you, but it is of no importance to me. Even if it is a creation of the Star God, I have no use for it. To be honest, apart from the Nameless Guest who is interested in the Star Train's carriages, perhaps no one else will come to me to inquire about this kind of information in my lifetime. But the number of Nameless Guests... you should know it very well."

Leier shrugged with a look of regret on her face.

"Of course, you may wonder why I suddenly proposed to establish friendship with you, but please don't think too much. I just do it simply because what the Nameless Guest does is similar to the creed I practice. You follow in the footsteps of Akivali, helping the planets you pass through and bringing them peace and order. This alone is enough for me to want to establish friendship with you."

Leir looked at the two of them with a smile in her eyes and said sincerely.

"I see. Well, it's a pleasure to be your friend, Miss Leir."

Zhou Xingxing nodded and smiled back.

"Since we are friends, there is no need to be so respectful. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Rael Starena. You can just call me Rael."

"Hello, I'm Xing, and this is Qiong."

Zhou Xingxing also introduced it to Qiong who was sipping apple juice at the side.

After the formal introduction, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

At least not like the boss and the guest just now.

"Arnold, get me a map."

Leir gave an order to the armored man who was sweeping the floor nearby.

The armored man didn't say anything, he put down his broom and walked into the store.

After refilling their glasses of wine and apple juice, the two took the opportunity to chat casually.

"Even though you're dressed so... wasteland style, Leier, you speak very elegantly."

"Haha, because I'm not a local, I'm just staying here temporarily. Since I live here, I have to dress like the locals."

Leier smiled and revealed that she liked to collect various dresses, but they were not suitable to be worn in this environment.

This is a bit like someone else, except that she likes to collect coats.

"Why do you want to temporarily live on a planet like this? Because of business?"

The environment of this planet is so harsh, and it seems that the technology is not particularly advanced. If I were allowed to choose, this planet would definitely not be within my consideration for retirement.

"No, although this place is known as the Starry Garbage Dump, it is also one of the famous black markets in the universe. You can often see some interesting things here. You can see rare things in the entire universe without leaving home. For me, this is a very interesting thing."

"I see."

Zhou Xingxing nodded. After all, all the thieves in the universe gathered here, and there were indeed many ways to steal and rob things from all over the universe.

As they were chatting, Arnold walked out, accompanied by the unique sound of armor colliding.

"Thank you, Arnold. Go on with your business."

Leir took the map and spread it out on the table.

"Uh, such an ancient map..."

Zhou Xingxing was embarrassed. The parchment scroll had turned yellow and looked quite old.

"There's no other way. Talia is full of underground cities. It's very complicated. If you want to find your way with an ordinary satellite map, it's impossible."

"Then this parchment scroll..."

Zhou Xingxing was just about to say that the hand-drawn map was even more impossible, when he saw that the lines on the parchment scroll actually moved, and then the pattern on it slowly floated in the air, forming a three-dimensional 3D map.

"Just updated. It seems that the rats have dug more tunnels recently."

Leir shook her head and sighed with a slight headache.

“Is this a rare item?”

A parchment scroll can actually automatically update something that even satellite maps cannot do. Apart from being a strange object, I can't think of any reasonable explanation.

"Yes, it's called the Adventurer's Scroll. The center of the map is your location, and every hour, the scroll will automatically update the terrain of the surrounding 100 kilometers based on your location.

For ordinary people, this thing may not be useful, but this is Talia, so I bought it without hesitation. However, I don’t like adventure, so it has been gathering dust for a long time. "

Leir smiled awkwardly. Although the map was very detailed, most thieves were very clear about the locations of several towns in Talia, so naturally they didn't need such a thing.

To be honest, this planet does not make people want to explore.

"how much is this?"

While asking, Zhou Xingxing took out his cell phone and prepared to find Ji Zi to apply for some funds.

"We just became friends, and our friendship index is still high, so we don't need any money."

Leier rolled up the parchment and gently placed it in front of Zhou Xingxing, saying with a smile.

"Friendship index?"

Zhou Xingxing was stunned. What the hell was that?

"Don't mind it. That's my way of measuring friendship. After all, relationships are not eternal. They will become closer or more distant with various conditions over time. Of course, giving gifts is also a way of change."

"What if it's all used up?"

Qiong asked curiously.

"If the friendship index is exhausted, we can no longer be friends. Also, once the friendship ends, even if we become friends again, it will be difficult to go back to the first time we became friends."

Leier explained to Qiong with a smile and narrowed eyes.

"Cheers to our friendship!"

Qiong quickly raised the apple juice, hoping that it would add 1 friendship point to her with Leir.

Zhou Xingxing smiled, and Bronya's old man expression pack appeared in his mind.

"Haha, cheers."

Leir was not pretentious. After clinking glasses with Qiong and Zhou Xingxing, she drank the ice water in one gulp.

After finishing the drinks, Zhou Xingxing also planned to say goodbye to Leir and go find the location of the Starry Sky Train carriage that she mentioned.

"Let Arnold take you for a while. He has lived in West Town for a long time. He can also take you around on the way."

At the entrance of Peace and Order, Leir said to the two of them.

"Um...is it really necessary?"

Qiong raised his head and looked at the armored man, and couldn't help sweating.

“It’s not bad to have a free tour guide, although it’s a bit conspicuous...”

Zhou Xingxing smiled awkwardly and accepted Leir's kindness.

"Remember to buy two kilograms of mint, and one bottle of each of the twenty-six flavors of Baileys, and the ingredients..."

When they arrived at the door, they saw Leir explaining things to Arnold for a long time, and they couldn't help feeling ashamed.

The fact that he said he was taking the two of them for a walk was fake, and the real reason was that he was going out to help run errands, right?
