Starry Sky Railway: People on the train, nine to five

The next day.

After breakfast.

Captain Pam gathered everyone in the sightseeing car, ready for the jump shuttle.

"Master, master, what is jump shuttle?" Xingmei sat next to Zhou Xiao and the first thing she said was Master.

Ever since training with Zhou Xiao for a while yesterday, the title has become like this, so much so that when everyone heard Xingmei call Zhou Xiao Master at breakfast today, they were all a little surprised.

"this..."

Hearing Xingmei's question, Zhou Xiao paused.

Frankly speaking, he really didn't want to be a guide for novices. After all, it was rather troublesome. When he first got on the train, he went directly to the think tank to absorb common sense about the Starry Sky Train.

"Well...you can ask Uncle Yang or Dan Heng." Zhou Xiao replied.

As for his understanding of jump, he felt that it was more like traveling through a wormhole... traveling from one point to another consumes a lot of energy...

"So that's how it is..." After listening to Danheng's explanation, Xingmei nodded as if she understood.

...

Opposite the two of them is March 7th.

At this moment, San Yueqi had dark circles under her eyes, as if she had not slept well. She first looked at Zhou Xiao, and then at Xingmei.

Is it really that attractive to girls?

March 7 curled his lips.

After being teased by Ji Zi last night, she didn't sleep well the whole night. When she closed her eyes, she seemed to see Zhou Xiao surrounded by a group of girls.

Although Zhou Xiao looks OK, cooks well, and has good skills...

But Zhou Xiao also has many shortcomings.

For example, the Lost Owl... and he has a poisonous tongue. Just that poisonous tongue... except for her, March Seven, who else can deal with him.

Perhaps it was because of the resentful look in San Yue Qi's eyes that Zhou Xiao suddenly remembered something.

"March 7th...you come."

Hearing Zhou Xiao's greeting, San Yue Qi walked over reluctantly: "What for?"

"As I recall... you seem to still owe me a month of leg-pounding and five days of kitchen help."

If March Seven hadn't been staring at him, he would have really forgotten...

"Leg massage? Now?"

"Otherwise, there is still some time to prepare for the jump... hurry up." Zhou Xiao said.

"But I...but I didn't agree either." San Yueqi thought about it and realized that she had tacitly agreed at the time, but did not say a word to Zhou Xiao.

"I saved your life..."

"I don't believe that without these additional conditions, you would stand by and watch such a beautiful girl die tragically at the hands of Doommon..."

"Yes..." Zhou Xiao replied straightforwardly.

"..."

This sharp-tongued guy...made him even more certain of what March Seven was thinking.

No one except her could accept Zhou Xiao's broken mouth...

How come such a handsome guy has a mouth?

San Yueqi complained inwardly, then squatted down and prepared to give Zhou Xiao a leg massage.

Just as March 7 was about to pound his legs, the train conductor Pam came to the sightseeing car, cleared his throat and said:

"All passengers, please take your seats. The train will be jumping soon... Please be ready."

After hearing what Pam said, March 7 jumped up and said, "Okay."

I don't know if she said "good" because she didn't have to pound her legs, or because of something else...

"Master, what is Sanyue going to do?" Xingmei looked at Sanyueqi standing in the middle of the sightseeing car with an eager look and asked Zhou Xiao.

"Ah, it's a tradition of transition, the March 7th show..." Zhou Xiao commented.

Having followed the train to jump several times before, Zhou Xiao was no longer surprised by March 7's behavior.

Every time he made a jump, Sanyueqi wanted to try whether he could stand through the jump process...but he fell down every time.

But San Yue Qi was not discouraged, on the contrary, he became more and more courageous, so this became a must-see item for everyone on the train when they jumped...

"Knock-dunk show?" Xingmei showed an expression of confusion and awe.

"The train is about to jump. Five, four, three, two, one."

Chapter 20: Mr. Zhou Xiao, the wealthy monk!

"I can't knock it this time, I can't knock it this time..."

During the countdown to the leap, Sanyueqi muttered to himself to give himself psychological hints.

As Pam's countdown ended, all sounds in the sightseeing car disappeared in an instant, and the entire train seemed to be digitized, transforming into a stream of light that shuttled into the black vortex.

The whole process was very magical, like traveling through time and space. Looking at the strange visual experience outside the sightseeing car, Xingmei felt a little dizzy.

"It's normal to feel dizzy. Just close your eyes."

Zhou Xiao's voice sounded, and Xingmei closed her eyes obediently.

About thirty seconds later, the jump ended and the train speed returned to normal. The strong inertia caused the people sitting on the sofas on the train to move forward a little.

And on March 7...he successfully performed what is called a "knockout show" in front of everyone.

She bent her legs slightly, seized the right moment and jumped hard, intending to use the time she stayed in the air to buffer the inertia.

The result is predictable...she fell again.

Perhaps because of her experience, this time she used both hands to support herself on the ground and did not hit her face.

"We...failed again." San Yueqi silently got up from the train floor and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Everyone is already used to it.

Looking at the snow-covered planet outside the window, Ji Zi was a little surprised.

"The changes...are huge."

Yalilo VI is an asteroid with relatively poor resources. According to information provided by the think tank, the last time a planetary train came here was thousands of years ago.

At that time, Yalilo VI was a beautiful planet covered with lush vegetation.

But now it looks like it is covered by ice.

"The space reading is abnormal, and the orbit stability rate has dropped by 12%... The docking plan has changed from seven days to indefinite..."

Little Pam brought bad news to everyone present.

Abnormal space readings...

Don't think about it.

It is most likely caused by the core of the star.

After all, the train has experienced this situation many times before.

"There's more work to do." San Yue Qi stretched and spoke slowly. She was not affected at all by the fall she had just had.

"Alive?" Xingmei raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah..." Seeing that Xingmei looked a little doubtful, Sanyueqi continued, "It is estimated that this anomaly is also likely caused by the star core. It is our job to find the star core and bring it back to the train..."

"Star core?" Xingmei looked thoughtful when she heard the word "star core".

"The test results are out...the source of the anomaly is indeed the star core." Walter's words at this time further confirmed that the train group must go to Yalilo No. 6.

Ji Zi glanced at everyone present, as if thinking about who to let go this time.

March 7, Danheng, this is certain.

Between Xing and Zhou Xiao, Ji Zi actually prefers Xing. After all, young people need experience, and the danger of Yalilo No. 6 is actually still within controllable range.

"Sanyueqi, Danheng, and Xing, it's just the three of you who will go this time." Ji Zi said after thinking about it.

"Xing?" San Yue Qi glanced at the star who claimed to be Zhou Xiao's apprentice, then pointed at Zhou Xiao:

"Aren't you going?"

"???"

Zhou Xiao, who was named by March 7, raised his eyebrows slightly: "I am a logistics officer... My job is to ensure the logistics of the train. Why would I go to seal the star core with you..."

Zhou Xiao said that it would be nice to slack off on the train...

Yalilo is so cold... Sealing the star core is also a hard job, how can it be as comfortable as enjoying the air conditioning and eating melons on the train...

"Let's go, let's go. I am with you in spirit..." Zhou Xiao said, waved his hand, and prepared to go to the training car to complete his daily exercise.

"You guys go first." Ji Zi gave San Yueqi a look, implying that Zhou Xiao would also go.

"Okay then." March 7 said.

Judging from her expression, she didn't seem to understand Ji Zi's hint and was a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted herself.

"Well then, Yalilo Sixth Expedition Team is ready to set off! Hmm? Where's Dan Heng?"

Hearing San Yueqi's doubts, Ji Zi replied: "I guess he went to the think tank to detect the situation of Yalilo 6... You go and look for it."

...

The Yalilo No. 6 pioneer team left.

Zhou Xiao, who had just finished his daily training, was preparing to make lunch. As soon as he got out of the training car, he ran into Ji Zi, who was wearing a dress, in the logistics car.

At this time, Ji Zi seemed to be looking for something on the logistics shelf.

"Sister Ji Zi...what are you looking for?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Nothing... just looking around."

After hearing Ji Zi's words, Zhou Xiao felt something was wrong.

Inspection work?

But Ji Zi usually doesn't come to the logistics car to inspect his work results. After all... Ji Zi trusts his work ability very much.

"It's really neat." Ji Zi said to Zhou Xiao with a smile on her face.

"Sister Jizi...I'm sure you have something to say, right?"

Seeing Zhou Xiao speak directly to the point, Ji Zi did not beat around the bush and said:

"It's like this... I want you to go to Yalilo No. 6 to buy some specialty materials..."

"???"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiao was a little shocked.

"We just restocked some supplies at the Black Tower Space Station... The stock on the train is sufficient."

Zhou Xiao knew that Ji Zi just wanted him to join the pioneering team to cause trouble, but he still didn't want to go.

Going out is full of uncertainty and danger, which may disrupt his self-disciplined life.

The feeling of losing more than you gain...

"Specialty materials... not ordinary materials." Ji Zi emphasized.

"Collecting some data will help supplement the think tank data of Yalilo 6... I can only entrust this important task to you, the most capable logistics officer on the train."

Praise and kill.

This is absolutely flattery!

Zhou Xiao said that he would rather jump off the train and starve to death than accept such a promise from the boss.

"No, or not..."

Seeing Zhou Xiao's determination, Ji Zi sighed:

"I see... I was thinking of giving you a raise after this field mission. Oh, by the way, don't you want to buy some mechanical materials? There are no extra ones on the train... If you want them, you can only place an order with the company."
