Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 209 The Little Pastry Cutie

By the time Yunzhi found Xing, Xing had already successfully completed a series of achievements, including being teased by Ruan Mei in a calm tone and eating Ruan Mei's pastries.

And she received a request from Nguyen Mai to help her take away the little life she had nurtured on the space station.

Yunzhi saw Xing walking with Ruan Mei from afar.

Okay, my daughter has definitely been bewitched by her confidante older sister.

Yunzhi really wanted to turn around and leave right now.

But no, I still need to talk to Nguyen Mai.

Yun took a deep breath.

Miss Ruan Mei is a master in the field of creation, and she has long coveted Yunzhi's body.

Yes, the "coveting" here refers to scientists' "coveting" of the most qualified experimental subjects.

When Ruan Mei first met Yun Zhi, she had a strong feeling that Yun Zhi did not seem to be a conventional life form.

What she meant was that Yunzhi's body didn't seem to be a conventional flesh and blood body.

Later, she went to the Immortal Boat Alliance and inquired about some messy history in Yaoqing. From this, she pieced together the clues and learned that Yunzhi seemed to have suddenly appeared in Yaoqing's present world.

Did it appear suddenly?

Nguyen Mai then thought of the little lives she had created.

Could it be that the First Commander was also a life form that was "made"?

[Hunter] Was the Star God also a genius of creation before his ascension?

Ruan Mei looked at Yun Zhi, who was waving to Xing in the distance, and thought about many things.

I really want to study this properly...

Miss Ruan Mei never hid her ambition to study Yun Zhong, and Yun Zhi didn't mind her thinking that way.

Thinking about it, the price I paid for asking Black Tower to do things for him was indeed a bit impulsive.

Why didn't I think of exchanging the knowledge recorded by the Venerable Master Boshi with her back then?

I didn't think of it at the time.

"Miss Ruan Mei".

Yun Zhi composed himself and walked up to her: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Ruan Mei's eyes lit up, and she spoke softly, "I'm very happy too, True Lord."

The gentler the tone, the more dangerous it feels.

Yun couldn't relax when facing these scientists.

But now he still has to talk to Nguyen Mai properly.

"A few days ago, the Starry Sky Train accidentally collided with a [breeding] relic, and something a little unpleasant happened. I think you should know about it."

Nguyen Mai maintained a gentle smile and nodded:

"Yes, True Lord, [Hunting] has suddenly set its sights on a certain part of the universe, and many forces have discovered it."

They also discovered the enormous worm, which had been pierced through the heart by an arrow.

How should I put this?

Most forces don't care, and only some scientists go to those places to conduct research.

Nguyen Mai was one of them.

"It courted its own death, there's nothing I can do."

Yunzhi's eyes darted around, and she took out a very small cage from her backpack.

Inside the cage, blessed by the power of the [Hunting] destiny, a pitiful true stinging insect looked somewhat... cute.

For Nguyen Mai, excellent experimental subjects are always adorable.

"This thing is of no use to me, Miss Ruan Mei, you can take it."

Ruan Mei smiled and accepted the small cage without any hesitation.

"Remnants of [breeding] can be found everywhere, but very few of them are suitable as experimental subjects."

She smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, True Lord."

"You're welcome, it was nothing."

Yun waved casually, "Well then, I'll take the child and leave first?"

Nguyen Mai was so fascinated by the experimental subject in her hands that she couldn't wait to go to the laboratory and study it properly.

She didn't forget the little star core spirit she had just tricked: "Yes, darling, don't forget the request."

Xingmu nodded blankly.

Yunzhi looked at her little girl's disappointing appearance and gave a forced smile.

"Alright, let's go check out the containment section. I remember Screwgoom said there are some cute kids there."

Yun decisively raised her hand and grabbed Xing by the back of the neck.

They carried her away like they were carrying a cat.

Nguyen Mai watched from afar and couldn't help but smile.

----------------

Speaking of the little life that Nguyen Mai nurtured...

Yunzhi had heard about it these past few days. Screw Gumu said that they were all very cute little lives, and if you were interested, you could go to the containment pods to look for them in your spare time.

In fact, most of them were concentrated in the confined compartments, but the Black Tower ordered that area to be sealed off, and Screw Gum couldn't let Cloud go down to check on himself.

Now, as a parent, Yunzhi still took Xing to the containment chamber section.

Then, Xing witnessed the diversity of scientific researchers.

There are many people in the containment section.

Xing ran over to talk to them.

—I just can't say anything about Nguyen Mai. I guess I shouldn't have eaten things randomly.

Some people were unhappy about Nguyen Mai's arrival; these people were fervent followers of the Black Tower.

Some people held Nguyen Mai in high regard but were not particularly concerned about her.

There is another group of people...

"The molten cheese filling is the best; its emotional impact is so strong, its positive energy infects us all!"

Xing was gathering information when suddenly an excited voice reached his ears:

"What's our motto again? First, stop complaining, adjust your mindset, and use the delicious molten cheese filling to stop the transmission of negative energy! Second, empower yourself, improve your action, and walk on the ultimate belief of molten cheese filling."

The female clerk spoke with great passion and enthusiasm.

The male clerk on the other end chimed in: "Our guiding principle is—the best flavor is a molten cheese filling!"

star:……

Because she didn't know what expression to make, Xing maintained her expressionless face.

"Who is the 'Molten Cheese' brand?"

Xing asked with a blank expression.

The male clerk replied, "Don't you know? Cheese Lava is Ms. Nguyen Mai's number one follower. She uses this method to preach, and those who offer their love express their respect and affection for Ms. Nguyen Mai."

Oh, these two are huge fans of Nguyen Mai, and the cheese lava heart... is a big fan?

Yun Zhi found it amusing, then turned her gaze to the other side.

There seems to be something very cute.

Xing asked, "What about Screwgoom's followers?"

The clerk replied, "Mr. Screw Gumm's followers are quite rational, but they are also eagerly awaiting the arrival of the mechanical aristocracy."

Isn't ScrewGumm on the space station now?

As expected, his fans are truly insightful; I haven't seen them in a while.

Yunzhi walked to the small table in the room and sat down.

The next second, a cute, bouncy little thing hopped into his arms.

Yun raised her hand and hugged it.

...Like a steamed bun? Or a shumai?

Meanwhile, on the other side, the clerk in front of Xing was still talking:

"Hmph, seeing that you seem somewhat interested, I'll tell you how to get an audience with Master Cheese Lava. You'll have to work hard yourself—"

Before the staff member from the Department of Species could finish speaking, a voice from the other side interrupted him.

"Star, come and see this."

Xing turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

At this moment, Yunzhi was sitting at the table, holding a bouncy, pastry-like creature.

The steamed bun in his arms... it must be a steamed bun, it looks like it has a nose and a face.

Although the smile looks a little bit smug.

What is that?
