Chapter 61: Zhu Zhuqing’s Awareness
Outside the atmosphere of Douluo Star, accompanied by a silver light, the Stellar Train emerged from it, its speed gradually slowing until it finally hovered in the vacuum outside Douluo Star like a synchronous satellite.
Himeko took out her mobile phone and sent a message in the group chat.
『Galaxy Traveler: Everyone, are you all up? We’ve arrived.』
『Galaxy Bat Man: Sister Himeko, March is still not up.』
『Breeze in Embrace: Someone didn’t sleep at all last night, I won’t say who. The story scripts in my head have almost all been played through.』
『Galaxy Traveler: Not resting on time is not the behavior of a good child.』
『Galaxy Bat Man: Uh-huh, from today on, I won’t need to play your single-player games anymore.』
『Breeze in Embrace: I hope you remember these words next time we pioneer a new world.』
【Galaxy Bat Man withdrew a message】
『Breeze in Embrace: Useless, I’ve already taken a screenshot.』
『Galaxy Bat Man: Hehe, I was joking, Huai Feng’s virtual illusion is the most fun in the universe.』
『Zhao Camera: ?? I was just washing up, and A Xing, you’re already badmouthing me in the group? This young girl is going to fight you!』
『Galaxy Traveler: Then we’ll come down to find you, send a location.』
『Breeze in Embrace: Location shared.』
Himeko opened location sharing, then found the Realm Anchor set by the nearby Pioneer Squad, and teleported to inside Spirit City with Welt.
The closer the teleportation distance, the less fuel it consumes. For a distance like this from outer space to the planet’s surface, the fuel consumed is almost negligible; a little street strolling and completing a commission might recover it.
“Sister Himeko!” March 7th rushed like a swallow returning to the forest to Himeko’s side, hugging her arm tightly.
“Little March is still so full of energy.” Himeko ruffled March 7th’s pink hair, looked around and said: “Where’s Dan Heng? Why haven’t I seen him?”
“He went to Xingdou Forest early to gather the Dragon Clan members who want to follow him away.” Meng Huaifeng said.
“Oh, so this young girl is the Zhu Zhuqing you mentioned?” Himeko smiled as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
In these two years, Himeko hadn’t come to Douluo Continent, and Zhu Zhuqing had no Pioneer Power, unable to use the Realm Anchor to go to the train, so this was their first meeting.
Himeko’s first impression of Zhu Zhuqing was quite good: hardworking and motivated, grateful and repaying kindness, kind-hearted, though her personality seemed a bit cold, like Dan Heng, a gourd.
“Sister Himeko, Uncle Yang, hello, first time meeting, I’m Zhu Zhuqing.” Zhu Zhuqing tensed her body, somewhat nervously said.
“You too. You want to leave this planet with the train, right.” Himeko asked.
“Yes. After leaving this planet, any planet is fine, I’ll get off there.” Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, her eyes slightly dim.
“Eh? Sister Zhu Qing, didn’t you say you wanted to travel with us?” March 7th asked strangely.
“I… my strength is too weak.” Zhu Zhuqing recalled the powerlessness facing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, not to mention facing the legendary god a few days ago.
“I don’t want to trouble you or hold you back.” Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes gradually firmed: “On other planets, I’ll cultivate hard, become stronger, until I catch up to your steps. Then I’ll set off to find you, hoping you won’t refuse my joining then.”
Previously, she cultivated hard to survive, but now, it was for dream and promise.
“The train never refuses anyone, even ordinary people. But in the Nameless’ journey, they’ll inevitably face claws of destruction, Abundances’ evils, Stellar Core erosion, even Swarm ravages. Many change their minds before boarding, and some choose to get off after one or two journeys.”
“The Pioneer Journey is full of thorns and bumps, absolutely not the smooth sailing play many imagine. Everyone, including me, could lose life at any time. Even so, do you still want to board? You’re not afraid?” Himeko looked at Zhu Zhuqing meaningfully.
“No, I’m not afraid. I’ve never been afraid of death, I just fear dying meaningless, worthless.” Zhu Zhuqing answered without hesitation.
Just like before, she cultivated hard not out of fear of death, but unwillingness.
Himeko’s eyes showed more satisfaction: “I’m glad you have such awareness, so no need to wait until later.”
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Himeko in surprise, somewhat hard to believe: “But… my strength…”
“Weak strength is never a problem, everyone is willing to teach you. I believe you’ll become a qualified Nameless.” Himeko took out a golden Train Ticket and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.
“This was given to me by Pamu before getting off, these two years we’ve come to deeply understand your character. As long as we confirm you have enough awareness, give it to you.”
It was the Train Crew’s first time experiencing such a long two-year pioneer. If two years of observation couldn’t see through a person, how could Nameless see through others in shorter journeys?
“What are you stunned for? Take it.” March 7th urged.
Xing pushed the dazed Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhu Zhuqing instinctively reached out to grab the Train Ticket.
Golden Imaginary Energy emanated from the Train Ticket, enveloping Zhu Zhuqing. She seemed to see a train speeding from the Void, crashing into her heart.
Zhu Zhuqing finally stepped onto the Pioneer Destiny.
However, its momentum was far less than when Meng Huaifeng stepped onto the destiny.
After all, Zhu Zhuqing only traversed Douluo Star with the Pioneer Squad, while Meng Huaifeng shuttled two universes.
“Sister Himeko, when you invited me to join, you didn’t say so much.” Meng Huaifeng said somewhat jealously.
“I think when you resolved to step on the unknown Travel journey, you were already prepared.” Himeko covered her mouth and chuckled.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly came back to her senses, the inferior Energy Soul Power in her body directly fused by Imaginary Energy, revealing a trace of characteristic unique to her.
Zhu Zhuqing hadn’t gone far on the Pioneer Destiny, the Imaginary Energy she could control comparable in amount to a Soul Emperor’s Soul Power, but combat power worlds apart.
“Sister Zhu Qing, from today, you’re also a member of the Train Crew Nameless. I’ll pull you into the group.” March 7th pulled Zhu Zhuqing into the loving family group.
Zhu Zhuqing’s mobile phone was the one Meng Huaifeng discarded after awakening Mobile Phone Martial Spirit; he no longer needed the Physical Body mobile phone, so he gave it to Zhu Zhuqing.
『Supreme Train Conductor: Welcome new Passenger to join Pa.』
“This is Train Conductor Pamu, Pamu is very cute, you’ll know when you see on the train.” March 7th said to Zhu Zhuqing.
『Nine Lives Cat Demon: Thank you, Train Conductor.』
『Supreme Train Conductor: To welcome the new Passenger, I’ll prepare a sumptuous meal, everyone remember to return on time tonight Pa!』
