For a fleeting moment, Xing He felt that staying on the space station wasn't such a bad thing after all.

At least he can challenge his weakness of not being familiar with survival on a sky island.

It's definitely not because Estelle is generous!

Chapter 18: The Pragmatism Unique to Minecraft Players

Do you really like this green gemstone?

On March 7th, when Xing He took out this emerald green gem from the treasure chest, his eyes lit up almost like light bulbs.

"Yes, I really need it."

After putting the emerald into his backpack, Xing He took out his tools and chiseled off the empty treasure chest.

There's no point in leaving it here anyway, so let him take it back and make the most of it. At least it will save him eight planks!

What's more, this 'box' is actually quite nice-looking.

Dan Heng's brow twitched as he watched as the large metal treasure chest in front of him suddenly burst open and shrank into a miniature treasure chest smaller than the palm of his hand after Xing He casually tapped it twice.

No matter how many times he saw this amazing method, he was still amazed.

After putting away the treasure chest, Xing He looked around the room and then went over to remove the lamp.

"Since we didn't find any coal, I'll just use this lamp. This bedside table is also nice; it can be used as decoration. Oh wow, it can also store things? I like it even more now."

After Xing He ransacked the place, only a door and an intact wall remained in the entire room.

March 7th's eye twitched: "Xing He... what kind of life did we live before...? Although Estella might not mind, you've tidied up this room so thoroughly... you might as well pack up the space station and take it with you."

Xing He shook his head seriously, denying March 7's 'teasing': "No way, it won't fit. Unless I make a backpack full of shadow boxes, maybe I can take away half of the space station?"

March 7th's eyes widened in shock: "You really want to take the space station with you?!"

"Ahem..." Dan Heng quickly interrupted their conversation, his gaze sweeping rapidly past the door: "Now that you're all packed, let's get going..."

If someone were to arrive at this moment, even someone as composed as Dan Heng would probably be so embarrassed that he would scratch the ground with his toes.

The three of them stealthily opened the door. March 7th peeked out first, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then waved into the room.

Xing He followed Dan Heng out of the room, speechless, and couldn't help but ask, "Do we have to be this careful? It makes me feel like some kind of thief."

“You’re not a thief.” March 7th rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. “You’re a robber.”

"Stop talking, let's get back on the train," Danheng urged again.

March 7th hurriedly started walking forward, with Danheng following closely behind.

Xing He was about to follow, but he immediately stopped and turned around, looking at the door with some hesitation.

"We might as well bring the door along. We don't know what kind of planet the Star Train will stop on next. If it's all ocean, at least we won't have to surface so often to get oxygen."

With that thought in mind, Xing He took out his stone axe, chiseled the door off, quickly stuffed it into his pocket, and then fled the scene at breakneck speed.

Shortly after the three left, a logistics staff member arrived at the scene.

As instructed by Station Master Estelle, he was there to collect the empty treasure chests.

However, when he arrived at the door of that guest room, he was immediately stunned.

"Where's the door?"

Passing through the wall without doors, the interior was so clean it looked like it had never been renovated.

The logistics staff member trembled as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Aistar.

[Stationmaster, something terrible has happened! It seems our space station has been burgled! The thief even went through the doors!]

————————————————————

"Wow, is this the Star Train? How magnificent!"

Xing He looked at the Starry Sky Train parked on the platform and couldn't help but feel amazed.

March 7th stood proudly to the side, hands on hips: "Right! I also think the train is really cool! Come on, come on! I'll introduce you to the other members of the train crew!"

As soon as the three of them entered the train, they saw Walter, Himeko, and the train conductor Pam waiting for them in the observation car.

Seeing that March 7th had brought Xing He, Himeko smiled and raised her hand to greet them.

Walter smiled and walked over, extending his hand: "You must be Xing He? I've already heard about you from Himeko. Welcome to the Starry Sky Train. From now on, we're all family."

"Thank you."

After Xing He and Walter shook hands briefly, Xing He's gaze fell curiously on Pam, who looked completely inhuman.

When Pam saw Xing He looking over, she cheerfully raised her hand and waved: "Hello Xing He, passenger, I am the train conductor Pam, welcome to the team!"

"Thank you, conductor."

On March 7th, after watching Xing He greet everyone else, he cheerfully put his hands on his hips and said to Pam, "Pam! Now I'm not the youngest on the train anymore, so you can't leave all the sweeping work to me!"

Pam glanced at March 7 with annoyance: "Precisely because we need to take care of Xinghe, the cleaning job should be given to you, our senior, Pam."

"Huh? How could this be! I'm the one who has to sweep the floor anyway!"

On March 7th, she pouted in grievance, still thinking that after Xing He joined the Starry Sky Train, she would finally be free from cleaning work!

Himeko clapped her hands with a smile and said, "Alright, Little Sanyue, you take Xinghe around the train and let him get acquainted with the passengers. I'll go prepare dinner, and we'll properly welcome Xinghe to the team."

"Okay, Sister Himeko!"

On March 7th, she took Xing He's hand and walked towards the guest room carriage.

"Come on, Xing He, I'll show you your room!"

On March 7th, she pulled Xing He all the way to the room next to hers before stopping.

"This is the only room available, so you can stay here from now on! My room is right next to yours, so feel free to ask me if you need anything! As your senior, I'd be happy to help you with anything!"

March 7th patted her chest confidently, looking like a caring older sister.

"okay."

Xing He gave a brief reply and then pushed open the door and went inside.

Perhaps because no one lived there, the room was very empty, with nothing but a table, a lamp, and a bed.

March 7th gave Xing He an apologetic smile: "Because your joining was rather sudden, there were a lot of things that weren't prepared, sorry..."

"It's okay, I actually prefer this style."

Xing He doesn't need those decorations; he prefers to fill the room with workbenches so he doesn't have to run around.

"Is there anything you need to set up? Let me help you!"

"No, I can just do it myself."

Xing He took out a workbench from his backpack and placed it in the corner. Then he used a round stone to make a furnace on the workbench and placed it next to him.

Then, the treasure chests, lamps, and other miscellaneous items brought from the space station were casually placed in a corner.

On March 7th, looking at the room that Xing He had decorated with no aesthetic appeal, her eyes twitched.

"I think I should help you decorate... The way you've put it out, it looks like a junkyard..."

Xing He, however, did not take it to heart.

“I used to decorate my place like this when I lived in a tiny, cramped apartment. I lived in a tiny apartment, do you think I cared about aesthetics? Practicality is the most important thing!”

Chapter 19: Because the system turned me into Steve, what's the price?

"March, and Xing He, do you need any help? As an elder, I have quite a bit of experience in arranging rooms."

At this moment, Walter knocked on the door and came in, but he soon saw a pile of square items that Fang An had tucked away in the corner.

"What...are all these?"

A wooden cube and a stone object that looks like a furnace share a common feature with the treasure chest and lamp next to them: they are all very square.

Walter couldn't understand where Xing He got such a square object from. Aesthetically speaking, no merchant should sell such a thing.

"Uncle Yang!"

On March 7th, seeing Walter's gaze immediately fall on the lamp and treasure chest that Xing He had taken from the space station, he quickly pulled him to the door and whispered an explanation.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Yang, I couldn't persuade Xing He. He brought the lamp and treasure chest from the space station with him... He probably just really likes them. I'll apologize to Estella tomorrow, so please don't say anything to him!"

Walter looked at March 7, who was desperately defending Xing He, with amusement, and shook his head, saying, "I didn't say I was going to blame Xing He. Although his actions were indeed not good, you may not be aware of Xing He's situation."

"Situation? What's the situation?"

March 7th was completely confused. She was probably the person who had spent the most time with Xing He, while Uncle Yang had only just met him once. What could be going on with Xing He that she didn't know, but Uncle Yang did?

Walter looked up at Xing He, who was still setting up his private room, and whispered an explanation to San Yueqi.

"When Himeko came back, she received a surveillance video from Estella. Although the video was partially damaged, the general content was still understandable."

"A video recording? What does this have to do with Xing He?"

Walter took out his phone and started playing a video.

The video shows the hidden room in the black tower used to store the star core, and for some unknown reason, the video flickers intermittently.

Shortly after the playback started, Silver Wolf and Kafka appeared on the screen, but March 7th couldn't hear their conversation. He could only see Silver Wolf operating a terminal, which allowed Kafka to successfully obtain the Star Core.

However, after obtaining the star core, the two did not leave, and Silver Wolf continued to operate the terminal.

The next second, something shocking happened to March 7th.

In a glass jar next to Silver Wolf, Xing He's body gradually took shape. Then, Kafka pressed the star core in her hand into Xing He's chest, and the video ended there.

March 7th turned to Walter in surprise and asked, "Uncle Yang, was Xing He created?"
