Chapter 4: The Space Station's SOS Message
Chapter 4: The Space Station's SOS Message
Since Eve boarded the train, an unknown amount of time has passed, and the train has already traversed several star systems.
Eve also embarked on her first pioneering journey, resolving a war crisis on a pre-nuclear civilization planet.
Eve's power has recovered considerably, and she no longer needs to maintain her Grass Slime form, but she still likes to change it occasionally, as it seems to make her feel more comfortable.
On this day, the train continued its journey through the star system.
In the car, Eve was playing with March 7.
By this time, Eve had already become familiar with the passengers on the train.
"Hey, Eve, give me back that cake!" March 7th said, puffing out her cheeks.
"Hehe, I won't give it to you, Little March, come and snatch it from me!" Eve said deliberately, holding a cake in her hands.
Himeko, who was standing to the side, smiled slightly as she watched this scene.
"It seems they get along quite well," Himeko murmured to herself.
"Hmph, watch me catch up with you." March 7 clenched his fist and immediately charged towards Eve.
Eve's lips curled slightly upward, and she immediately dodged away.
"Ah!" On March 7th, he missed his target and was about to fall forward.
“Not good.” Eve glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
She immediately put down the cake in her hand and reached out to grab March 7's collar.
On March 7th, his body was tilted in mid-air.
"Phew...it's alright now." Eve breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that March 7th was alright.
"Something's wrong, Pam!" Pam's angry voice came from below.
"Ah... Train conductor..." came the terrified voice of March 7th.
"Huh? Little... Train conductor?" Eve pulled up March 7 and saw Pam, who was being shielded by March 7.
Seeing Pam's expression, Eve couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Pam had a cake smeared on her head and was covered in cream, making her look quite funny.
"Stop laughing! Passenger Eve! Did you throw the cake?" Pam shouted, her face covered in cream.
"Oh, sorry, my hand slipped, conductor." Eve immediately covered her mouth to avoid smiling.
"Hmph, fine, but next time I'll really get angry." Pam reached out, trying to take the cake off her head.
But after trying several times, he realized his reach wasn't long enough.
Immediately, embarrassment appeared on Pam's face.
"Hey, conductor, let me do it!" March 7th immediately reached out and took the cake off Pam's head.
Pam immediately walked back to the back room, dripping cream.
“My little cake…” March 7th looked at the ruined cake with a pained expression.
"Ahem, little March, I'll treat you to something delicious next time we expand," Eve said with a hint of guilt.
"Really?" March 7's eyes lit up immediately. "That's a deal!"
Then, the "pattering" sound came again.
Pam had changed into a clean set of clothes, although it was the same style and color...
"Train conductor, is there anything I can help you with?" March 7 asked curiously.
"Ahem, are all the passengers here, Pam?" Pam looked around.
"No, Uncle Yang and Danheng aren't here," March 7th replied.
“Gather them all here, Pam. I have something to say,” Pam said immediately.
"Okay, conductor." March 7th quickly ran off.
Himeko got up from the sofa and walked over.
"What's wrong, conductor? Is something serious?" Himeko asked worriedly.
Eve also came over, looking worried.
“Okay, let’s wait until everyone arrives at Chipa.” Pam nodded.
Shortly after, March 7th arrived with Danheng and Walter Yang.
"Train conductor, what happened?" Dan Heng asked in confusion.
Pam cleared her throat first, then spoke seriously.
"Just now, the train received a distress signal from the Black Tower space station."
"The Black Tower space station has been attacked by the antimatter legion and needs support," Pam said solemnly.
"The closest Black Tower space station to here... isn't that Estád's space station?" Himeko frowned slightly, showing her nervousness.
After all, she and Estelle had a pretty good relationship in private, so she was naturally a little anxious.
“Black Tower Space Station! Isn’t that the place where Lady Black Tower entrusted us to deliver the artifacts?” March 7th suddenly realized.
"Black Tower Space Station?" Eve murmured to herself.
"Although the Black Tower Space Station is called a space station, it is actually a museum-like interstellar ship that collects all kinds of strange objects from the universe for research. The owner of the space station is named Black Tower, but the station manager should be Estádio, and I have some connection with her."
Himeko explained.
"And what about that strange object? What is it?" Eve asked curiously.
For someone from outside her world, such things were unknown.
At this moment, Walter Young raised his eyes and spoke:
"Strange objects are all sorts of bizarre little gadgets. Some are not to be trifled with, some are alive, and some can change a star field or even the universe. In short, each one has some kind of background."
“In this universe, only Lady Black Tower would have the ability to collect such rare items,” Dan Heng said from the side.
Eve pondered, wondering if one of these artifacts might hold a way for her to return to Teyvat.
"Alright, alright, let's end this topic here. Now it's time for the voting!" Pam said, jumping up.
"The voting process?" Eve asked, puzzled.
"Ah... Sister Eve really doesn't know anything," March Seven chuckled. "Oh, right, we've always been the ones who passively encountered these events before..."
"That's right. When a train wants to go to a certain place, all the passengers on the train need to vote unanimously to decide whether to go."
“This has always been the rule of the Star Train,” Himeko said solemnly.
"By the way, who was the antimatter legion that attacked the space station earlier...?" Eve asked again.
Immediately, everyone looked at Eve helplessly.
"Here we go again, you studious Eve," March 7th said helplessly.
“The Antimatter Legion is a legion under the command of Nanook, the God of Destruction, and they are determined to destroy the entire universe through war,” Walter Young explained patiently.
“Oh… to destroy the entire universe with war…” Eve’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
Although it is unclear who this Nanook is, since he has issued a declaration to destroy everything with war, he should be prepared to be destroyed.
After all, she came here because of a war.
“Alright, let’s start voting now. If you agree to go, put up your palm; if you disagree, put up the back of your hand,” Walter Young said.
"Do you all understand now?" Walter Young looked around at everyone.
"Oh dear, Uncle Yang already knew," March 7th said anxiously.
"Now, I, the train conductor, solemnly announce that voting has begun," Pam said, waving his hand.
Everyone immediately extended their hands.
"One vote, two votes, three votes... everyone agrees to go to Pam!" Pam tallied the data.
Everyone on the train extended their hands.
“I’m still very curious about the space station, and the antimatter legion,” Eve said meaningfully.
"Yay! Now we're off to the Black Tower Space Station!" March 7 exclaimed excitedly.
“Perfect timing. We’ve also acquired the artifact that the lady from the Black Tower asked the train crew to find. We’ll deliver it during this trip, as per the agreement,” Dan Heng said earnestly.
"Please get ready, passengers. The train will be performing a jump in ten minutes." After saying this, Pam ran back to the train's control room.
Everyone immediately dispersed, except for March 7th and Eve, who all returned to their rooms.
“Wait, Little March, you don’t want to…” Eve looked at March 7’s actions and roughly guessed what she was going to do.
"Of course, Sister Eve, we'll definitely succeed this time," March 7 said enthusiastically.
"Alright then, good luck." Eve settled steadily on the sofa and looked at March 7th.
On March 7th, he stood in the very center of the train carriage with his legs spread apart, as if he were squatting in a horse stance.
She closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and kept muttering something.
“Hello, hello…” Pam’s voice rang out on the train at that moment.
"Please be seated and hold on tight, and be careful of the vibrations."
"A special reminder to passengers on March 7th: don't be ungrateful. If you bump your head again, the train conductor will not be responsible for bandaging you up."
“Hmph, Pam, what do you know? This is called perseverance!” March 7th immediately shouted.
“Hahaha…” Eve couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"Hey, Eve, why are you laughing too?" March 7 said angrily.
"Little March, let's just say we should listen to the little rabbit," Eve advised.
"Oh, Eve, don't worry about me. I've already figured it out. The key is to use your waist, abdomen, and thighs correctly. Posture doesn't matter. What matters is to make good use of momentum."
"I believe I will succeed this time," March 7 said confidently.
"Sigh..." Eve sighed helplessly.
Pam's voice came through the radio again.
"Please return to your seats. The jump is about to begin. Please be prepared."
Suddenly, the train began to shake.
"five......"
"I won't fall, I won't fall, I won't fall..." March 7th got into position and kept muttering to himself.
"Four, three, two, one... Leap initiation!"
The train suddenly accelerated, leaping through the star field.
