The screen lit up automatically, and as Yu Qi watched, a cute creature that looked like a plum cake jumped and appeared in the center of the screen.

The blue-green shell was dotted with familiar 'DNA structure' patterns, and at the opening right in front, a cat-like creature was curled up in the shell as a filling.

It has big round black eyes, a white plum blossom pattern on the left forehead, a white body, and both feet are black, as if it were wearing gloves. A tail sticks out from the gap between the outer shell and the filling.

The overall look was like seeing Ruan Mei turned into a cat, which made Yu Qi extremely surprised.

As if it had sensed Yu Qi's gaze, the cat shook its body and let out a cold "meow". A greeting appeared in its mind, and then it said in a gentle voice that Yu Qi was familiar with: "Master?"

Chapter 237 How terrible is Jizi's coffee?

"Uh! Ah! Hello..." Being called like this by this cat, Yu Qi couldn't help but feel a little weird and... indescribable excitement. It felt like Ruan Mei was calling him 'Master'!

Well, there is a different kind of excitement!

Of course, thinking about how Ruan Meilian had addressed him as "dear" without batting an eyelid when they first met, Yu Qi's excitement instantly cooled.

"Ahem..." With a light cough, Yu Qi brushed off some charming thoughts in his mind. He looked at the Maomao Cake on the screen and asked, "Hello, I'm Yu Qi. I don't know how to address you. Can you introduce yourself?"

"Yes~Okay, Master!" In a voice that still made people's heart beat faster, Maomao Gao shook his body and said, "I am a digital life born from the snacks prepared by Lady Ruan Mei through special means and the mobile phone she gave to you, the Master."

"I don't have a name. You can call me anything you want. Of course, if the master really wants me to have a name - 'Friend of Ram', well, this is the name Ruan Mei gave to a creature that looks very similar to me in the experimental records."

"Friend of Ram..." After mumbling the name that Maomao Gao said, Yu Qi shook his head: "This name is more like a code name than a name, right? And I feel like calling you that is a bit unpleasant."

"Well, I understand." Maomao Gao did not object, but still looked at Yu Qi respectfully: "Then, Master, would you like to give me a name?"

"Uh..." As a person who is bad at naming, Yu Qi paused for a moment, frowned and looked at the cat cake that was shaking its body on the phone. After hesitating for a while, he asked awkwardly: "Well, how about calling you 'Plum Blossom Cake'?"

The moment the words came out of his mouth, Yu Qi had already prepared himself to be rejected. After all, compared to the 'Friends of Ram' which he said was a code name, the name 'Plum Blossom Cake' was not much better!

However, as a creature born because of Yu Qi, Maomaogao maintains absolute respect and admiration for Yu Qi.

Faced with the name he had chosen, which even Yu Qi himself thought was not very nice, its face instantly revealed an expression of great surprise: "Plum Blossom Cake, Plum Blossom Cake, Ruan Mei's Flower Cake, Master, can I really call it this?"

Although Maomao Cake was created because of Yu Qi, its birth process was mixed with too many factors related to Ruan Mei.

Whether it is the 'Ruan Mei's special snack' that was born from an unknown world line, or the mobile phone as the main body, they are inseparable from Ruan Mei.

Therefore, in its heart, Ruan Mei's status is also very high, second only to Yu Qi; after all, in a sense, Ruan Mei can even be regarded as its mother!

At this moment, when it heard Yu Qi name itself "Plum Blossom Cake", it immediately thought of Ruan Mei, and naturally smiled, and it was impossible for it to have any objection.

"Uh~ Of course!" Without thinking about the inner story, Yu Qi nodded reluctantly. However, looking at the happy jumping appearance of Maomao Gao, oh no, 'Plum Blossom Cake' on the screen, the embarrassment in his heart instantly dissipated.

"Forget it, since it seems to like this name so much, let's call it that!" Yu Qi smiled slightly in his heart, and suddenly felt that this name was not too bad: "Just think of it as a pet."

He had heard many people give their pets names similar to food before, such as rice balls, roast chicken, small crisps, Liuliumei, etc. Compared to those, plum blossom cake was not so outrageous.

After being happy for a while, Meihuagao finally calmed down a little. Looking at the smiling Yu Qi outside the screen, he scratched his head with his tail in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Master, I was a little too happy just now!"

"It's okay." Shaking his head, Yu Qi naturally wouldn't care about such a small matter: "By the way, I read the description of the special snack before and it mentioned that the data life born from it will have special abilities corresponding to the machine itself, so what is your ability?"

"It's a link!" Meihuagao straightened his body with a little pride, and introduced to Yu Qi with a proud tone: "Master, you used a mobile phone to give birth to me, so the ability I have is the 'link' that corresponds to the 'communication' function of the mobile phone!"

"As long as I am here, no matter where you are, no matter what kind of bad situation you are in, even if there is a Star God's power blocking you, Master, I can make sure you can contact other people without any hindrance!"

"Enhanced communication capabilities~" Raising an eyebrow, Yu Qi didn't feel too surprised, but he wasn't too pleasantly surprised either.

After all, the "connection" ability of plum blossom cake is based on communication devices such as mobile phones, which means... it can't contact those who don't have mobile phones.

Although, in today's interstellar world where almost everyone has communication equipment, Plum Blossom Cake's ability is very useful for many people, especially people like the Nameless Guest to which Yu Qi currently belongs, who may fall into dangerous areas at any time.

But when he returned to the continent of Teyvat, Plum Blossom Cake's ability was completely destroyed.

"Forget it, there's no need to ask for anything. Well, I'll just treat it as a pet. It can chat with me occasionally, which is pretty good!"

However, as if seeing through his thoughts, Meihuagao and obviously felt that Yu Qi underestimated his ability, and said loudly: "Master, please don't underestimate my ability. Although I can only contact people with mobile phones, I also said that I can contact the person you want to contact anywhere regardless of the environment!"

Emphasizing the word "any", facing Yu Qi's somewhat suspicious gaze, Meihuagao raised his head high: "Just as you think, even in Teyvat, I can help you contact Lord Ruan Mei who is still in this world!"

"Hiss~Really?!" Yu Qi couldn't help but take a breath and frowned again: "You know the continent of Teyvat? Moreover, if you can contact this side from Teyvat, doesn't it mean that people here can also find the location of Teyvat through the same means?"

For ordinary people, even those at the level of an envoy, Yu Qi would not worry about this possibility, but if it was those star gods who were almost above the entire universe dimension...

Yu Qi felt that it might be a little dangerous!

In particular, among the known Star Gods, more than one Star God was clearly recorded to have climbed the 'Tree of Existence'.

Yu Qi was not sure whether the Tree of Existence referred to the universe itself, or... some concept beyond the universe.

But there is no doubt that the star gods may very likely have the ability to travel to another world - a real world that does not exist in this universe!

So, when Yu Qi heard Meihuagao say that it had the ability to communicate across the world, he was shocked at first, and then couldn't help but become a little worried.

He knew that for the star gods, there was nothing worthy of their covetousness in Teyvat, but if it was another completely different world... it would be hard to say!

In particular, the star gods even have the hope of breaking free from the shackles of fate in this universe by traveling to another universe. If this possibility really exists, then the 'universe' where the world of Teyvat is located will definitely not be too unattractive to them!

There was an inexplicable worry in his heart, but Yu Qi didn't know why he suddenly thought of this. Was it because he was a little dazed because of Ruan Mei's matter, and even started to have wild thoughts; or was it because he sensed something in the dark that made him feel this way?

His thoughts became a little confused. Yu Qi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. For some reason, he felt a little tired.

Without noticing Yu Qi's strangeness, Meihuagao shook his body vigorously and denied it: "Of course this is impossible, Master!"

"Perhaps you haven't realized yet, Master. Although the status and power of the Star Gods are extremely transcendent and powerful, they are only limited to this world. Master, you are not the same as them!"

"The reason why I can communicate across worlds is, after all, because of your uniqueness, Master. Otherwise, no matter how special my abilities are, I can only use them in this world at best."

"Is that so..." Yu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Meihua Gao: "Now that you say that, I feel relieved."

"By the way, don't ever mention anything about Teyvat in this world again. Especially the fact that you can connect across worlds. Don't let anyone know except me!"

"Yes! Master, I understand!" Seeing Yu Qi's serious expression, Meihuagao also became serious and nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing this, Yu Qi waved his hand and removed the 'fourth wall' that he had set up the moment Meihuagao mentioned Teyvat.

Yu Qi casually put the phone into his pocket and was about to turn around and leave the platform when a surprised voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Mr. Yu Qi, why are you here?"

"Huh?" He turned his head in confusion and saw a bright red color in the crowd of people passing by the platform not far away. "Ms. Ji Zi? What are you doing?"

Walking around the staff who were heading back to the space station even though it was already time to get off work, Yu Qi walked up to Ji Zi, looked at the things in her hands, and asked in confusion, "Did you go shopping in the space station?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qi suddenly realized that he had said something stupid, and quickly added: "What I mean is, Miss Ji Zi, you have so many ingredients, did you buy them all from the space station? Could it be that the food reserves on the train are running low?"

"Oh, that's not the case!" Ji Zi smiled and said, not paying attention to Yu Qi's slip of the tongue, "I saw these things by accident when I was wandering around the space station before. According to the staff of the World Seed Department, these are special crops that they have cultivated in recent years through some strange objects, and some of them can be used as food ingredients."

"Well, these are given to me by the staff. I brought them back to let you taste them. By the way, I also want to use them to research some new coffee recipes."

"Coffee..." The moment he heard these two words, Yu Qi's throat couldn't help but twitch, and his face turned pale.

The scene of this morning seemed to reappear in my mind. I got up and was about to go to the restaurant for breakfast. As a result, when I opened the door, I saw a cup of fragrant coffee on the table next to the door.

At that time, Yu Qi thought that Lei Dian might be really worried that he didn't sleep well last night, so he made coffee specially for him, so he didn't think much about it, just picked it up and drank it in one gulp!

What is the result...

In short, it was the first time that Yu Qi knew that Lei Dianzhen, who was always calm and composed, could actually show such a panicked expression.

Then, he felt his mind go blank and he couldn't remember anything.

By the time Yu Qi came to his senses, he had already arrived at the restaurant and sat down. Next to him were San Yue Qi, Walter, Dan Heng and others who were eating and looking at him with admiration.

At that time, apart from a slight stinging in the throat, I didn't feel anything else.

But now when he heard Ji Zi mention the word coffee again, Yu Qi couldn't help but feel a sense of panic and palpitations in his heart, and his throat seemed to be strangled and he couldn't breathe!

"Ahem, ahem... coffee. Well, I think Miss Jizi's coffee is already delicious. There's no need to delve into any special recipes... I think!" With a slightly awkward smile, Yu Qi turned around and prepared to flee this unsettling place: "Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Goodbye, Miss Jizi!"

Without waiting for Ji Zi to speak, Yu Qi turned around decisively, took two steps at a time, and ran away at a huge stride.

I must not go back to the train tonight!

At least, she must not go back until Ji Zi satisfies her interest in studying coffee!

Otherwise, I might not even know how I died!

…………

"So, Mr. Yu Qi, you came to me?" After listening to Yu Qi's story, Estelle blinked slightly strangely, looked at Yu Qi who was sitting opposite her with a frightened face, and smiled: "Are you ready to stay overnight in the space station? Yes, of course!"

She took out her phone and tapped a few times. Soon, Esta looked up at Yu Qi and said, "Okay, I've asked someone to prepare a dormitory for you. Of course, because of the tight schedule, the conditions may not be very good. Please bear with me!"

"It's okay!" He waved his hand nonchalantly. Yu Qi had even stayed in a camping site with only one tent. As long as the conditions were not as dirty and messy as a garbage dump, he would not mind anything.

Besides, the Black Tower Space Station is such an advanced place, how bad can the conditions be?

"That's good~" With a brighter smile on her face, Esther put away her phone and asked, "By the way, I wonder if you have eaten, Mr. Yu Qi? I have finished my work here and am getting off work. If you haven't eaten yet, why don't you accompany me to the cafeteria to taste the delicious food of the space station?"

"Of course, if you find it troublesome, there is a small robot for ordering food over there. We can order two takeouts and eat them here. How about that?"

"Okay, then..." Just as he was about to nod in agreement, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Yu Qi: "Eh~ Yu Qi? You are here!"

Running over, San Yue Qi looked at Yu Qi and couldn't help puffing up his cheeks. "Yu Qi, where did you go before? Xing and I have been looking for you for a long time and couldn't find you! Look, you haven't returned to the train yet. We are ready to come to find Estelle to check the surveillance!"

"Uh~ I'm sorry, I bumped into a friend by accident and chatted for a while, but I accidentally forgot the time!" Yu Qi said apologetically, "As for not returning to the train..."

"Hiss~ Ji Zi wants to study coffee?!" Frightened by what Yu Qi said, San Yue Qi also took a breath of cold air and shook his head hurriedly: "That's troublesome. I still remember that the last time she studied coffee, the material she used was a special product of a certain planet, 'Flying Fish Cans'. At that time, the train went to the car wash planet to clean it up!"

"And last time, they were supposed to be researching coffee, but the final product turned out to be a highly concentrated corrosive liquid. It even corroded several large holes in the floor of the train. Pam was really upset!"

After muttering a few words about Ji Zi's great achievements, San Yue Qi quickly turned around and ran towards the train: "It's over, it's over, I have to go back quickly and tell Uncle Yang and Pam to pay attention. God knows what kind of bizarre coffee Ji Zi will make this time!"

"Uh..." Looking at San Yue Qi's departing figure, Yu Qi and Estelle looked at each other and couldn't help but be a little speechless: "It shouldn't be that outrageous this time...right?"

"I saw the ingredients Jizi was holding before, they looked normal, just some special ingredients!"

"I also know about the ingredients you mentioned. They were specially cultivated by the staff when they were researching the strange objects related to the power of abundance. Most of them are non-toxic. Theoretically speaking..." Although her words were firm, when she thought of what March 7 had just said, Esta couldn't help but reveal a bit of hesitation on her face.

“It shouldn’t cause any serious problems…right?!”

"Uh, haha... maybe!"

After looking at each other, Yu Qi and Ester laughed dryly at the same time. They really had no confidence in Ji Zi's notorious "murderous coffee"!

"Forget it, let's eat first!" Shaking his head, Yu Qi casually called the food delivery robot on the national highway and ordered a plate of fried rice and dishes: "Mr. Walter is on the train. If it is handled in time, it shouldn't cause any impact."

"Well, yes!"

After finishing the meal with laughter, Yu Qi stayed in the space station for one night as agreed before. When he returned to the train the next day, all he could see was Walter with a helpless look on his face, Lei Dianzhen who was so weak that he couldn't get out of the bed, and several thermos cups made of special materials placed on the table.

Faintly, a heart-pounding smell emanated from those thermos cups.

"Ugh~ I never thought that, besides Ying, there could be someone who could cook food so... so horribly!" After being healed by Yu Qi with the water element, Lei Dianzhen even had a hint of fear in his eyes when he saw Ji Zi again!

Chapter 7.5: Leap, Arrival - Yaliluo VI (k)

Three days passed quickly. With the concerted efforts of Esta and many staff members, the space station, which had become devastated by the invasion of the antimatter army, gradually regained some of its former glory.

At this time, the Starry Sky Train's stop time had ended. Yu Qi and the others had been notified early. After saying goodbye to Esta and others, they returned to the train and waited for Pam to depart.

"How about it, have you decided?" Standing on the platform of the space station, Ji Zi looked at the stars in front of her and asked with a smile: "Have you decided to stay in the space station, or board the Star Train and go to the next world with us?"

Although Xing has been living on the train these days and even has her own room, Ji Zi still asked for her opinion again for confirmation.

"Of course, I've already thought about it!" She made the decision without hesitation, put her hands on her hips, and laughed, "Of course I'll get in the car and go on a trip with you guys!"

"Although everyone in the space station is talented and speaks well, I like them very much and want to stay here."

Looking back at the people in the space station who were seeing them off not far away, Xing smiled at Ester and then turned back to continue, "But, I have thought about it carefully, and life here is too stable after all."

"If I decide to stay, I might start researching the star core with Black Tower at first; but given that woman's personality, I guess she will soon lose interest in both me and the star core."

"Then, you probably became a staff member of the space station under Esta's arrangement, and spent a peaceful and stable life in the "Black Tower" space station."

After getting off the train, Yu Qi casually took over the conversation and joked according to the routines of some games he remembered: "As for us, perhaps we will travel to and from the space station a few times on the Starry Sky Train during your lifetime and reminisce with you."

"After that, there will probably be no news at all. Either it will perish in a cosmic disaster, or it will perish together with an enemy that intends to destroy the world! The Star Train and the Nameless Guest will be submerged in this endless galaxy."

"And that has nothing to do with you, Xing!"

"Hey~ What nonsense are you talking about!" Following behind Yu Qi, San Yue Qi was startled by his deliberately low voice. He couldn't help but shudder and complained: "What do you mean by dying together and the whole army being annihilated? Bah, bah, bah, we are getting ready to set off now, it's too unlucky for you to say this!"

"It's as if the future of our Star Train is doomed to fail!"

“Hahaha!” Seeing San Yue Qi mumbling to himself, Yu Qi couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Sorry, it was just a joke, just a joke!”

"After all, this is the case in many games. When the protagonist faces some major choices that may even affect the development of the main plot, there are always producers who like to hide some Easter eggs or something."

"For example, if a city is infected by a virus and 99% of the residents have turned into zombies, and you have finally obtained the launcher of a destructive weapon, the correct choice would be to press it. However, in that case, the city will be destroyed along with the zombies, and all the survivors will also die."
