"March 7th: 6. In the end, it even became abstract, unlike me; I never do that."
"Dan Heng: I have the right to remain silent."
"Pam: Trailblazer, it's not good to lie, Pam."
"Aha: Aha will make you an Emissary, so you don't have to seek Aha's power anymore."
"March 7th: Aha is so impressive."
"Aha: Indeed, indeed..."
"Luo Ping: Eh? Why did the higher-ups suddenly promote me to P40?"
"Qingque: Congratulations, bro up there."
"Scott: When will such good fortune ever happen to me..."
"Company Employee A: If it happened to me, I'd even be willing to win a hundred million in the lottery..."
"March 7th: Strange, what's wrong with him? Did he fall into a Taiyi Dream?"
"Sunday: ... (Deceased, do not disturb)"
"March 7th: Wow~ It's Brother Sunday playing ostrich~"
"Bumblebee: Yuanshi Tianzun is mighty!"
"Jiang Lin: ? What are you talking about? @Bumblebee, you're from Cybertron, right? Who are you calling? Me?"
"March 7th: I've wanted to say this for a long time, @Jiang Lin, that title is indeed mighty and domineering."
"March 7th: What's Jiang Lin's reaction? Could it be... there's a very powerful person also named Yuanshi Tianzun?"
"Aventurine: Things have finally settled down. @Topaz, @Jade, do you have time? I said I'd treat you to a big meal and a get-together."
"Jade: Yes, I do."
"Topaz: Send the address. March is already hungry."
"March: *Whimpers*..."
"Himeko: Oh, right, Jiang Lin, when are you coming back?"
"Jiang Lin: That's not something I can decide..."
"Elio: Haha, I forgot to let him go. I'll send him back now."
A moment later,
"Passenger Jiang Lin, you're finally back, Pam. It's good that you're alright."
Pam let out a slight sigh of relief, looking at Jiang Lin, who had suddenly appeared in the carriage.
Jiang Lin smiled faintly, looking at Himeko, Welt, and the other Astral Express Crew members, as well as Ms. Herta's three puppets.
"I made you worry. I'm fine."
"Tsk, it seems I didn't help much on this trip..."
Ms. Herta rubbed her forehead helplessly, her pointed hat facing Jiang Lin.
"Please remove the 'seems'."
March 7th fearlessly spoke up to remind her.
"It seems necessary to lower the probability of the Ruan Mei event even further. Ruan Mei, what do you think?"
Ms. Herta glanced at March 7th and expressionlessly said something to Ruan Mei that made March 7th feel like her world had collapsed.
"No! Ms. Herta, who possesses both beauty and wisdom, you can't do this. I've only encountered it twice since the beginning. You can't lower the probability any further!"
March 7th said, directly pouncing and hugging Ms. Herta's leg, even rubbing her face against it... "Uh... I still have coffee to brew in my room. I'm going back first."
Himeko couldn't stand March 7th's behavior anymore, so she found an excuse to leave the observation car.
"Ahem, I think I just saw a giant Gundam outside. I'll go check it out..."
Welt quickly followed Himeko's lead, making a swift exit and disappearing from the scene.
Dan Heng and March 7th exchanged glances, then looked at March 7th, who was still hugging Ms. Herta's leg... Then the two looked at Jiang Lin, realizing he was watching the scene with great interest... So the two looked at Sunday, who was still in the corner.
Sunday, hiding in the corner and playing ostrich, indicated that he knew nothing... Dan Heng sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to step forward and pull March 7th up, he saw... "Is Ms. Herta's leg something you can hug? Do you even understand what you're doing?!"
Suddenly, a boisterous Ms. Herta puppet appeared from nowhere and directly kicked March 7th away.
Dan Heng, March 7th: ... "Laughing my ass off, there's even a Ms. Herta puppet here... Wait, where did a Ms. Herta puppet come from on the Astral Express?"
March 7th was initially a bit indignant, but upon seeing it was a Ms. Herta puppet, she immediately started to mock it, but then realized, where did a Ms. Herta puppet come from on the Astral Express?
"I brought it up, what about it?"
Ms. Herta said indifferently, then ignored the abstract March 7th and directly had the Ms. Herta puppet drag her away.
Fortunately, March 7th couldn't bear it any longer and directly took March 7th from the Ms. Herta puppet's hands. Dan Heng also helplessly stepped forward to lend a hand.
"You, you, can't you give us a break? And what's with that... after so long, you've only encountered the event twice. What's the difference between having it and not having it?"
March 7th, while helping Dan Heng carry March 7th out, lectured her.
"No, you don't understand anything. You have no idea how awesome Ruan Mei is to play with!"
Ruan Mei: ?
Ms. Herta: ?
Jiang Lin: ?
Sunday: ... March 7th and Dan Heng froze in place, silently pondering what exactly they were carrying... Sunday looked at them strangely for a moment, then went to another carriage.
"Eh? What's wrong with you guys? Don't get the wrong idea, I meant... Oh, my goodness."
Before March 7th could finish her sentence, March 7th and Dan Heng, with a tacit understanding, simultaneously released their arms, causing her to fall to the ground.
Jiang Lin looked at the scene before him and silently sighed, Himeko and Welt were truly farsighted to have left early.
The Ms. Herta puppet casually took over their work and dragged March 7th away... "How do you feel after just experiencing a life-and-death crisis?"
Seeing that March 7th had left her sight, Ms. Herta turned her attention to Jiang Lin, who was watching the show.
"Actually, I don't think I can die."
Jiang Lin was calm. Although it looked very dangerous, and in reality it was very dangerous, he just felt that he couldn't die.
"Alright, I just asked casually."
Ms. Herta didn't pay too much attention to these things, but then, she said excitedly:
"Following your previous suggestions, we adjusted the values of the simulated Aeons and indeed made new discoveries."
Screwllum's gentle voice sounded at this moment:
"Logic: We conducted an experiment using comparison and controlled variables. Conclusion: They have become more mysterious, and March 7th's chances of seeing the Aeons have significantly decreased."
"We have already organized the data. Would you like to see it?"
Ruan Mei spoke up to remind him, her voice sounding particularly delicate, gentle, and pleasant in Jiang Lin's ears.
"Yes."
Jiang Lin gave an affirmative answer without any hesitation or politeness.
"Mm."
Ruan Mei didn't say much else, directly handing a printed document to Jiang Lin.
