They knew that Xing had a special identity. He was one of the "shareholders" of Pinocchio and was the key figure in resolving the crisis of "Star of the Gala".

How could these small staff members dare to step forward to question or stop him? They could only watch Xing humming a little tune and disappearing into the halo leading to the train anchor point.

"Just...what happened just now?"

"Miss Xing...put 'What Towards Death'...into a ball and took it away?"

"That ball...isn't even as big as one of its claws?"

"Should we report this to Mr. Aideen?"

"…Report it. Anyway, the person is gone and the things are gone."

The news quickly reached old man Aideen. After listening to the report, the old fox just touched his chin, a gleam of light flashed in his turbid eyes, and then he waved his hand indifferently.

"I know. Let her be." Aideen's voice was calculating.

"That 'Pioneer' lady has a special identity, and seems to have some unexplained connection with that meme. Besides, leaving that thing here is a waste of resources; it can't be tamed, and it's useless except for scaring people."

"It's better if it's gone. I can go to my family and the company and complain bitterly about this. Maybe I can even get some compensation."

In his eyes, this was another good deal.

As for where Mianmian was taken? Was it a blessing or a curse? He didn't care at all.

In this way, Xing's seemingly reckless action, with the subtle tacit understanding and calculation of all parties, actually achieved a "perfect" ending: Mianmian was taken away from the cage, Gallagher's instructions were initially completed, the staff avoided trouble, and Aideen found a new excuse to make money.

When the stars reappeared in the anchor light of the Starry Sky Train's observation car, the window was already dotted with stars, and the lights inside the train were warm and peaceful.

Dinner time had long passed, but the aroma of food still lingered in the air.

After a day of running around, Xing felt as if all her bones were falling apart. She dragged her feet and "slid" into the soft sofa in the observation car like a pool of liquid, letting out a sigh of satisfaction.

Pam looked at Xing, who looked "tired" and "successful," and approached her with concern, "Xing, thank you for your hard work, Pam! Would you like a drink?"

Then Pam thoughtfully brought a cup of drink made with "Starry Sky Brew" that exuded a refreshing fruity aroma.

"Thank you, Pam!" Xing took the drink and took a big gulp. The cool, sour and sweet liquid instantly dispelled her fatigue.

She called out the chat interface and entered the most relaxing and "self-liberating" moment of the day - bragging in the group chat!

Chapter 122 Discussion about pets, Zhe and Ling's request

[Bengtie·Xing]: "@All members, big news! This pioneer has completed another epic quest! Successfully rescued a precious pet left behind by an old friend! The process was thrilling, and the ending was perfect! Where are the applause!"

[Zero·Ling]: "Wow! What did Xing save again? Is it some rare creature from the universe?"

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "Rescuing pets? Paimon loves animals too! Send us a photo!"

[Bengtie·Xing]: "Don't worry! I know you want to see it!"

[Screenshot of the key portion of Gallagher's letter (describing that Mian Mian is a pet).jpg]

[Photo of Mimi Mien (taken inside Aideen's container, close-up of her enormous, terrifying, ferocious claws).jpg]

[Bengtie·Xing]: "Ding-dang-dang! Grandly introducing! Gallagher's 'little' pet - Mianmian! Isn't it adorable?"

As soon as the photo was sent, the group fell silent.

[Genshin Impact·Ying]: "...Xing, you call this...a 'pet'? And 'cute'?"

[(Paimon shocked.jpg)]

Ying looked at the nightmarish image in the photo and fell into a brief state of speechlessness.

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "Wow! This is terrifying! Even scarier than that mutated golden king beast! Paimon is going to have nightmares tonight!"

[Paimon crouches and defends with his head in his hands.jpg]

[Juequ Zero·Zhe]: "Xing, are you sure... Mr. Gallagher's definition of "pet" is... the same as ours? And are you sure this is really a pet, and not a terrifying monster created by some mysterious experiment?!"

[Genshin Impact·Zhongli]: "...From a common sense perspective, this creature's appearance is indeed far from 'cute'. Xing's aesthetic... is quite unique."

Inside the think tank, Dan Heng looked at the photo, silently put down the Dragon Ball research notes in his hand, and rubbed his eyebrows. He was completely unaware of this matter.

[Bengtie Danheng]: "...Xing, are you sure it's safe to bring it on the train? Is the binding force of the Master Ball reliable?"

[Bengtie·March 7]: "Xing!!! You actually caught it?! And posted a photo?! It's over, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight!"

[Pam shivering.jpg]

The impact of Mianmian's photo was enormous. Most group members were shocked by the huge contrast between Mianmian's extremely oppressive and terrifying appearance and the name "Mianmian" which sounded soft, cute and harmless.

However, amidst the voices of "horror" and "scary", a different voice emerged.

[Zero·Lin]: "Huh? Wait! Don't you think... this design is actually... cool?!"

[Zero·Ling]: "Look at this massive body! This twisted, powerful structure! These claws that seem to be able to rip apart dreams! And that huge, oppressive eye!"

[Zero Bell]: "It's like the final appearance in a horror movie, the ultimate monster boss that leaves you with endless suspense and a sense of oppression! Just looking at it makes your scalp tingle and your adrenaline surge! It's so exciting!"

Ling's remarks livened up the atmosphere in the group a little.

[Zequ Ling·Zhe]: "Ling... your taste is really unique sometimes."

[Genshin Impact·Ying]: "The description of Ling is quite fitting. She really has the temperament of a final boss."

[Bengtie·Xing]: "Look, look! Ling has good taste! Mianmian is so cool!"

[high five.jpg]

[Juequ Zero·Ling]: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Sister Xing! But..."

Ling changed the subject, a little embarrassed.

[Zequ Zero·Lin]: "If I really want to keep one as a pet... forget it. I really prefer the furry, soft, and cute type that acts like a spoiled child!"

[cover face.jpg]

[Zero·Lin]: "After all, I still have an empty Pokémon Capsule, so of course I'm aiming for something cute! It might be a bit like 'Ye Gong loves dragons more than Ye Gong loves dragons', but it can't be helped, people still prefer cute things!"

[Justified.jpg]

Ling's frankness drew a lot of well-intentioned "haha" and "understanding, understanding" from the group.

As the discussion about the contrast between Mianmian's appearance and name gradually died down, Zhe and Ling also shared their experiences today in the group.

[Zequ Zero·Zhe]: "Come to think of it, Ling and I were also working hard to rebuild Zhitopia today."

[Zero·Ling]: "That's right! After a busy day, I finally managed to get the restaurant looking presentable! Now it looks clean and tidy, and finally looks like a place that can be run properly!"

[Hands on hips proud.jpg]

[Juequ Zero·Zhe]: "But, here comes the problem. The cooking style here in the Outer Ring is... well, rather 'rough'."

Zhe's wording was very tactful.

[Juequ Ling·Zhe]: "The ingredients themselves are excellent, but the cooking methods are mostly simple and straightforward, mainly frying, deep-frying, and roasting, and the seasoning is also heavy. It's not that it's not delicious, but I always feel... lacking some refinement and variety."

[Juequ Zero·Ling]: "That's right! After trying the delicacies from Liyue, Inazuma, and Fontaine that Ying shared in the group warehouse, the difference is even more obvious!"

[Juequ Zero·Ling]: "Those dishes look beautiful, smell delicious, and taste even more delicious! So..."

[Put your hands together.jpg]

[Juequ Ling·Zhe]: "So, I'd like to ask everyone for a favor. If it's convenient, could you share some recipes from your world? They don't have to be too complicated, just something homely and unique. We'd like to try to diversify the menu in Zitopia and bring a little something different to everyone in the Outer Rim."

Faced with the sincere request of the brother and sister, everyone in the group naturally did not refuse.

[Genshin Impact·Ying]: "No problem. I'll sort out some classic home cooking recipes later and put them in the group warehouse. You can take a look and see which ones are suitable."

[Bengtie Danheng]: "It's more appropriate to suggest using video recording. While group chats can solve language communication issues, the writing systems of different worlds are not mutually intelligible."

[Bengtie Danheng]: "The measurement units and cooking times in the recipe, as well as some special processing techniques, are difficult to accurately convey with words alone, and can easily lead to misunderstandings."

[Juequ Ling·Zhe]: "Ah! Mr. Danheng is right! We were negligent! The writing systems of the three worlds are indeed different."

[Juequ Ling·Zhe]: "In that case, I'll prepare the recording equipment tomorrow! But... I'm sorry to bother Ying with recording the video tutorial."

Before Ying could reply, an urgent voice (text) popped up.

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "No problem! No problem at all! I'll leave it to Ying!"

[Paimon pats his chest and promises.jpg]

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "@[Juequ Zero·Zhe] @[Juequ Zero·Ling] Don't worry! Ying is the best at this! Video tutorial, right? No problem! I promise it will be recorded clearly!"

Paimeng's calculations were clattering. "Text recipes? You can only look at them, not eat them! But video tutorials are different! Ying must make them herself just to demonstrate! Those delicious dishes with all the color, aroma, and flavor..."

'Hehehe, won't everything end up in Paimon's stomach in the end? Although the "gourmet tablecloth" in the group warehouse can also turn into food, how can those soulless copies compare to the deliciousness of Ying's own cooking, with all the love and care? Food without emotion is always inferior!'

How could Paimon miss such a good opportunity that could help Zhe and Ling and satisfy his appetite?

She seemed to have seen the steaming Mondstadt grilled fish, Liyue crystal shrimp, Inazuma tri-colored dumplings... waving at her!

For the sake of delicious food, taking a few more videos is nothing!

Ying looked at Paimon's "foodie heart" that was almost overflowing from the screen, and smiled helplessly and dotingly.

[Genshin Impact·Ying]: "Yeah, no problem. Once you've prepared your equipment, just @ me. Recording a video is definitely more intuitive."

[Zero·Ling]: "Great! Thank you very much! My brother and I will prepare the recording equipment tomorrow!"

Xing watched the heated discussion about food in the group, took another sip of the cold drink, and collapsed on the sofa in satisfaction.

Saving pets, helping friends rebuild their homes, and possible gourmet food benefits in the future...the last moments of this rest day seem particularly fulfilling.

She played with the red and white sphere in her hand that sealed the behemoth, then looked at Pam who was carefully adjusting the new drink behind the bar next to her, the closed door in the direction of the think tank, and March's room.

Life on the Starry Sky Train is becoming more and more "rich"!

She yawned and carefully put the Master Ball away.

Tomorrow, we will set off for the unknown star region of Omfalos.

Who knows what kind of surprise (or shock) is waiting for them there?

Chapter 123 A rare cautious March

The observation car of the Star Dome Train is bathed in simulated morning light, with the low hum of the engine being the only background sound.

The stars almost welded themselves to the huge porthole. The tip of their noses rested against the cold glass, and their eyes stared out at the deep and boundless expanse outside the window with shining eyes, as if it contained a sea of ​​stars that even Achievelli could not fully glimpse.

Today! Today! The train will jump to "Omfalos" - an absolutely unknown territory that even the pioneering star gods have never set foot on!

Just imagining that unknown land made Xing feel like all the pioneering cells in his body were cheering. Sleepiness? What was that?

"Wow! Xing, you're up so early? Are you unable to sleep because of the legend of Omphalos?" March Seven's clear voice was filled with the laziness of just waking up, and his pink head poked into the carriage.

She immediately locked onto the figure by the window, who exuded a strong aura of "I'm going on an adventure!" and couldn't help but tease, "Tsk tsk, look at your posture, the light in your eyes could be used as a searchlight."

"March! You're finally here!" Xing rushed over like a cannonball, grabbed March Seven's shoulders with both hands and shook him, his eyes surprisingly bright.

"Leap! Today! Omphalos! A whole new world! Unknown challenges! And... uh, anyway, I'm super-looking forward to it!" She dragged out the last syllable, not trying to hide her excitement.

Sanyueqi felt a little dizzy from her shaking and slapped her hand away in annoyance: "I know, I know, it's just a new planet that even Achievelli couldn't light up. Look how anxious you are. You must not have slept well last night."

She walked over to the drinks machine and got a cup of hot cocoa, sipping it.

Xing automatically ignored the teasing about sleep and moved closer to March Seventh, with a smile on his face that was a mixture of anticipation and "ulterior motives."

"Hey, Sanyue, how were the results of your retreat in the training room yesterday? How's that 'Sode Shirayuki' doing?"

She blinked, her focus obviously on another issue that concerned her more - the balance of points on March 7th.

The secret of March Seven Stars is well known to everyone.

She sipped her hot cocoa leisurely, deliberately avoiding the topic of points, her face brimming with joy. "A training room? The effect is incredible! You get what you pay for. It's absolutely worth it!"

She then flipped her wrist and Xiu Baixue appeared in her hand.

"Watch out!" she shouted softly, flicking her wrist nimbly.

laugh--!

A light blue sword energy as condensed as a substance broke through the air, carrying a chill, and accurately cut through the top of a lush green plant in the corner of the carriage.

The severed branches and leaves were instantly covered with thick white frost, making crisp cracking sounds when they fell to the ground.

"Wow! Sword energy is released!" Xing clapped in cooperation, but his eyes were full of the question "And then?"
