As the battle ended, the Stomper in the story let out a shriek and immediately summoned a large number of Void Rangers to surround the group.
Seeing this, March 7th complained, "Hey! Ganging up when you can't win... Are you a sore loser?"
Just as the group, protecting the injured Arlan, was slowly retreating and at a loss, they suddenly heard a sigh.
A propeller-shaped drone suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield. While spinning at high speed, its single-molecule saw easily scattered the Anti-Matter Legion's encirclement.
"Go!" Dan Heng saw a gap in the encirclement and immediately led the group to break through and leave.
The scene shifted to another part of the Space Station.
An elegant, mature woman in a white dress with a military-style jacket was tidying her handbag.
"It's always so thrilling, but it's good to have you back."
Himeko's appearance instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the livestream viewers.
"It's the elegant and reliable senior character! Love it, love it!"
"She's so beautiful!!!"
"That voice, I can't take it, I can't resist it at all!"
"Kafka, I'm not coming home tonight!"
"This is Miss Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express! As expected, we'll be joining the Astral Express later!"
"Miss Himeko, let's be Nameless for life!"
"reoreoreoreoreo"
On the Trailblazer, Himeko had a premonition when she saw her weapon, but she was still a little surprised when her face appeared in the game.
"Himeko, look, it's your cool entrance!" March 7th pointed to her phone screen.
"This perfectly matches the ideal image of Himeko in my mind!"
"It seems this game really did record everything that happened. I had just arrived at that time, and thankfully, nothing went wrong."
Himeko currently attributed all of this to someone recording it using some means. If that were the case, then the upcoming story should be the Astral Express's previous experiences.
Yarilo-VI, Xianzhou, and now, Penacony, where they were about to go.
She began to wonder, if the story progressed faster and caught up with the Astral Express's current journey, how would this game develop?
In the next part of the story, Arlan first went to report the situation to Asta. Himeko first introduced herself to Trailblazer, then asked if March 7th had caused any trouble for Trailblazer along the way.
"Trailblazer, think carefully before you answer."
【I've never seen such a clumsy girl.】
【I've never seen such a lively girl.】
【Then I'd rather not answer.】
"High emotional intelligence: lively; low emotional intelligence: clumsy."
Lao Mu looked at these options and chose the first one, wanting to see her reaction.
"—That's just my personality! I didn't cause any trouble this time... You just get used to it... Look, Dan Heng is used to it."
After speaking, March 7th looked at Dan Heng, blinking hard and frantically hinting for him to say a few good words about her.
"...I have the right to remain silent."
The bullet comments immediately burst into laughter.
"This time."
"Haha, it seems 'clumsy' isn't fake after all!"
"Dan Heng: Numb."
Himeko in the story also chuckled softly.
"Haha, young people easily bond. It seems you're already quite familiar with each other. Let's go, Asta is worried about you."
The story ended here, and a trial message for Himeko appeared on the screen.
The bullet comments were all clamoring to quickly find a monster to see Himeko's skills.
Lao Mu had originally planned to do the same, but after looking around, he found that this should be a safe area. Along the way, he also saw many Herta Space Station staff members he could talk to.
"Why did the Anti-Matter Legion suddenly appear? Am I going to die here? Dad, Mom, my dear... I miss you so much."
"I, I'm still so young, I still want to shine in the Herta Space Station, I don't want to die!"
The invasion of the Anti-Matter Legion made the staff feel death so close for the first time. Their familiar colleagues falling to the Anti-Matter Legion made the atmosphere of the Space Station very heavy.
The bullet comments were all criticisms of the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, and his Anti-Matter Legion.
"Nanook is simply a lunatic! How can there be such a hateful existence as the Aeon of Destruction in the world!"
"My hometown was destroyed by the Anti-Matter Legion. The entire planet was detonated by the Lord of the Annihilation. Now I'm homeless!"
"Alas, for something like an Aeon, which transcends the concept of living beings, who knows what's in their heads!"
And after Lao Mu walked around and entered the mission story area, the dialogue automatically began.
Asta stood on the command platform, her eyes revealing a composure unbefitting her age.
She had to continuously monitor the Space Station's various data to ensure the entire Space Station wouldn't crash.
"Projection radar tracking normal, telemetry signal frequency too high! Must maintain at average level!"
"According to predictions, the Legion is about to launch ten or more consecutive attacks. Everyone hold on!"
Looking at her own cool and serious commanding appearance on the screen, Asta felt like she was falling in love with herself.
"Arlan, help me contact the development company of this game!"
"Miss, are you going to..."
Hearing this familiar request, Arlan seemed to guess what Miss Asta was going to do next.
"Of course, it's to open another top-up channel for me. 648 or something, that kind of top-up method is too slow!"
"...Uh, Miss, how many credits are you planning to top up this time?"
"Hmm, let's try 200 million first to test the waters!"
"Okay, Miss, I'll go contact them right away."
So Lin Guang, who was enjoying dinner, saw this message. He had just casually checked his private messages but was accidentally dazzled by the actions of the rich.
200 million!
Is this the most extravagant rich woman in the entire universe?
Lin Guang suddenly felt that the game system in his hand wasn't that appealing anymore.
That's why they say the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs.
Unfortunately, Lin Guang checked the game store and found that there was no top-up method that allowed for freely defined amounts. He could only continue to maintain the official aloof persona and pretend not to see it.
After a while, seeing no response from the other party, Asta thought the other party might not have seen the message yet, so she gave Arlan a black card and told Arlan to top up for her first.
Back in the story, the Trailblazer group came behind Asta, and March 7th was the first to speak.
"Station Master Asta, we're back."
After seeing the Trailblazer group return with Arlan, Asta explained the current situation of the Space Station and stated that she temporarily couldn't contact Herta.
"I knew it... It's okay, I'll also send a message to Herta, telling her that we've brought the curiosities she wanted. At least that still has some appeal to her."
"That would be a great help."
The story then concluded again, and the gacha system, which everyone had been looking forward to, finally appeared!
