On March 7th, with a somewhat vacant look in his eyes, he slumped to the ground, his hands hanging limply between his legs.
She never imagined that her savior, whom she had only known for a short time, would be separated from her by death like this, and she hadn't even had a chance to properly thank Xing He.
"Little March..."
Himeko and Danheng walked over and looked at the distraught March 7. Their expressions were complicated, and they didn't know how to comfort her.
"I'm sorry everyone, I'm a little late."
At this moment, Walter, who was stationed on the Starry Sky Train, arrived late. Seeing March 7 sitting on the ground looking dejected, he couldn't help but cast questioning glances at Himeko and Danheng.
Dan Heng briefly recounted Xing He's situation to Walter. After hearing the cause and course of events, Walter breathed a sigh of relief.
Walter walked up to March 7, squatted down, and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Little March, now is not the time to be sad. Perhaps Xing He is not dead."
"Uncle Yang, are you telling the truth?" March 7's eyes lit up again, and he grabbed Walter's hand, quickly asking, "Uncle Yang, why do you say Xing He isn't dead?"
She desperately wanted to hear from Walter the evidence that he had determined Xing He was not dead, only then could she put her mind at ease.
Walter smiled and released March 7's hand, pointing to the large hole in the support module and said, "Since you say that Xing He has the star core from the space station inside him, if he dies, then the star core inside him will definitely be detonated by the explosion of the Doomsday Beast's core. You should know very well the power generated when the star core is detonated. The space station cannot have suffered only such minor damage."
Walter's statement was immediately endorsed by Himeko and Danheng.
Himeko rested her chin on her hand and pondered, "What Walter said makes sense. If the star core were detonated, the three of us wouldn't be able to stay here so peacefully."
Dan Heng then asked another crucial question: "So, where did Xing He go?"
————————————————————
Inside the hidden room where the star core was originally stored, Xing He stood on the ground with his eyes closed.
Having just died from the explosion of the Doomsday Beast's core, he vaguely saw a huge, white-haired man with golden liquid flowing from his body looking down at him from above.
The coldness in his eyes and the impulse to destroy everything made Xing He feel uncomfortable, and he frowned and glared back.
The figure seemed somewhat surprised by Xing He's sudden glare, and finally withdrew its gaze from Xing He and gradually disappeared.
After the figure completely disappeared, Xing He opened his eyes and glanced at the familiar surroundings.
"So this is indeed my spawn point. Sigh, I need to find a way to get a bed, otherwise I'll have to start running from the spawn point every time, which is too troublesome."
Xing He immediately opened his backpack and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that none of the items inside had fallen out.
It seems the system defaults to not dropping items upon death.
After confirming that none of his belongings were missing, Xing He finally had time to carefully examine his surroundings. The last time he opened his eyes in this room, he saw Kafka and Silver Wolf. The two of them spoke a lot of things he couldn't understand and then gave him a dark buff, which prevented him from properly exploring the room.
Without the Dark Buff from the Star Core Hunter, Xing He wandered around the room with great curiosity.
Perhaps because of the Star Core Hunter's intrusion, the room was ransacked, with shards of glass scattered all over the floor.
Xing He only picked them up and glanced at them before casually throwing the glass shards away.
Things that cannot be synthesized are worthless.
Looking around, Xing He noticed that the room only contained some high-precision electronic products.
These high-end items are of no use to him at this stage, and he doesn't even know if he'll drop them if he tries to handle them with his bare hands. If they get damaged, he'll lose money.
Seeing that he couldn't find anything useful around him, Xing He had no choice but to leave the room and go to the corridor where he had been lying before.
As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Xing He immediately noticed two small saplings in a large flowerpot placed at the back of the corridor.
When he was lying on the ground earlier, his attention was completely drawn to March 7th and Danheng, and he didn't notice the two trees at all.
Xing He excitedly ran over, raised his hand and tried to stroke it. In less than three seconds, a square log fell to the ground.
"Wow, it's not a sapling? It's a stunted tree!"
Xing He couldn't be happier than when he received his first piece of wood.
He quickly chopped down all the saplings in the two potted plants, obtaining six logs and two saplings.
Xing He immediately disassembled all six logs into planks, and then replanted the two saplings back into the pot.
He has no soil now, so he can only use these two potted plants to grow trees and get wood.
When Xing He used four wooden planks to make a workbench, the system, which had been dormant, began to respond.
[What is this? A workbench!]
[Achievement Points: 1]
"Huh? The old achievements are still there, but didn't the old achievements include obtaining wood and opening the inventory? Why are those two gone? Could it be that the system only kept a portion of the old achievements?"
Regardless, Xing He was very happy to have earned his first achievement point.
He then used the remaining planks to make some sticks, and then made his first wooden pickaxe.
[Mining time!]
[Achievement Points: 1]
"Indeed, he has some of the achievements of his predecessors."
Xing He was very satisfied with this. The fact that his old achievements still existed meant that he could quickly obtain more achievement points. In just a little while, he would be able to go to the store to buy some necessary modules.
The first thing Xing He did after making the wooden pickaxe was to bend down and dig directly into the floor beneath his feet.
A real man goes down the mine vertically!
I bet there are rocks underneath!
Chapter Nine: Anyone who frequently goes to space knows that space stations are easily breached.
Xing He had just picked up the wooden pickaxe and dug away the block under his feet when the andesite he so deeply loathed was revealed.
"Damn it, Anshanyan! It's a completely different world now, why are you still chasing me! Fine, I'll use you as a stepping stone."
Without even a moment's mourning for the destruction of the andesite, those who rushed to the battlefield were—
"Damn it, diorite! Why are you chasing me too? Oh well, since you're already here, use this as a stepping stone."
Without even a moment's mourning for the destruction of the diorite, those who rushed to the battlefield were—
"Holy crap, calcite?! Why aren't you with amethyst? What's the meaning of coming here alone?"
With a heavy heart and tears in his eyes, Xing He finally put the calcite into his pocket, and a stone appeared under his feet.
Seeing the stone at that moment, Xing He felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity.
"Finally, there's a decent-looking cube here."
After successfully digging out three round stones with the wooden pickaxe, Xing He decisively discarded it.
As is well known, wooden drafts only have three durability points.
After placing the workbench under his feet, Xing He immediately crafted the stone pickaxe, and the system promptly displayed a prompt.
[Upgraded!]
[Achievement Points: 1]
"That's more like what MC should do."
Xing He was also very happy; things were finally starting to go smoothly.
Next, he just needs to mine iron ore to complete more achievements, but before that, he needs to mine enough cobblestone.
Before he obtained lava, cobblestone was a relatively scarce commodity for him.
While Xing He was diligently digging for round stones underground, on the other side at the same time...
Inside the main control section, apart from Walter who stayed behind on the Starry Sky Train again, Himeko and the others returned to reunite with Estádio.
"Gentlemen, it's so good to see you all back safe and sound."
Seeing that Himeko and the others were all safe and sound despite having suffered minor injuries, Estella breathed a sigh of relief.
But she soon noticed that Xing He, who had left with her earlier, was gone.
Aista's expression immediately tightened: "Where is Mr. Xing He?"
Mentioning Xing He, San Yueqi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He silently gripped the sleeve of his left hand with his right hand, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Himeko quickly stepped forward to explain, "Aside from a minor accident, Estádio, could you help us use the terminal in the space station to confirm the location of the star core? Once we know where the star core is, we should be able to find Xing He."
"I understand."
Estella immediately realized that Xing He must have had some accident and separated from Himeko and the others, which was why they rushed over to ask her for help.
Estella immediately turned around and ordered her staff to use the terminal to locate the location. However, the location work was only halfway done when an urgent alarm sounded on the terminal again.
[WARNING! The containment module has been damaged, and air is rapidly leaking out! Automatic repair has failed to activate; manual maintenance is required immediately!]
The urgent alarm repeated three times before Estádio turned it off. She frowned and muttered, "Could it be that remnants of the Antimatter Legion are causing trouble in the containment chamber? I'll have to send Alan and the others over there."
"let's go."
Danheng stepped forward and took on the job. He explained to Aista, "Alan was injured earlier and is unable to move around easily. In addition, many places on the space station need the defense department. Let us do it."
Estella hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Mr. Danheng."
She hadn't originally planned to trouble the Star Train, but considering the current state of the space station, she had no choice but to ask the Star Train crew for help.
"I'll help you locate the star core now. If it's close to the containment module, you can go there along the way."
With the assistance of a terminal with super-powerful computing capabilities, the location results of the star core were quickly obtained.
But when everyone saw the location of the star core, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Estella murmured in disbelief, "The Star Core is... in outer space? No, how did it suddenly teleport back to the containment module?!"
March 7th exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that Xing He has encountered some danger?!"
Himeko frowned and immediately turned to greet San Yueqi and Dan Heng.
