While Zhou Xiao remained silent, Estella hesitated for a moment, then looked at Himeko and slowly spoke:
"Himeko, your train crew are all incredibly skilled. I'd like to... I'd like to invite Zhou Xiao to be our space station's defense advisor..."
"Defense advisor?"
Upon hearing this, Himeko's expression changed slightly.
Only now did she understand why Estádio had wanted to meet with Zhou Xiao to express her gratitude in person.
So they were planning to poach people from under her...
As for saying it to her face, that's in line with Estádio's personality.
"Advisor? Me?" Zhou Xiao frowned upon hearing this.
It sounds like a bit troublesome, like forcibly binding him to the space station.
"No, no, Zhou Xiao is the train's logistics officer." Before Zhou Xiao could say anything more, March 7th shook his head subconsciously.
"As for Xiao Sanyue...we still need to ask Zhou Xiao what he thinks about this..."
Himeko did not refuse on Zhou Xiao's behalf. She focused her attention on Zhou Xiao. She never interfered too much with the choices of the train crew members, and she would not stop Zhou Xiao if he chose to stay at the space station.
certainly.
Based on what she's known about Zhou Xiao over the past few months, he might not choose to stay on the space station.
"Little March, Danheng, you two go to the platform with Walter and see if the train has returned... As for Xing, I need to speak with you about something..."
Himeko left the space to Zhou Xiao and Estella, and under her arrangement, the group gradually left the main control module...
...
"Zhou Xiao, this is a sincere invitation. You can name your terms. If you come, I can even provide you with a Star Destroyer."
Estelle heeded Alan's advice and tried her best to persuade Zhou Xiao to stay.
Star Destroyer?
Goodness.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and couldn't help but take a second look at the wealthy woman in front of him.
The terms are good... but it's unlikely he'll agree.
After all... he prefers freedom, to be like the wind, without restraint.
The defense advisor, upon hearing this, would be held responsible. If an antimatter legion were to invade, or some other crisis were to occur, he couldn't bear that responsibility...
It's fine on the train.
It would be even better if the salary were higher.
Please allow me to refuse.
Zhou Xiao declined Station Master Estella's invitation without mincing words:
"If you really feel bad about it, how about giving me a discount on the cost of resupplying the train at the space station this time..."
"As for defense advisors... let's forget about it."
...
On the way to the platform.
On March 7th, Dan Heng and Walter Yang asked a question: "Uncle Yang, Dan Heng, do you think Zhou Xiao will agree to stay?"
Walter Young: "I don't know."
Dan Heng: "I don't really care; it's his choice."
Hearing their answers, March 7 frowned: "Hey, you don't have to be so quick to answer..."
...
At the other end of the main control module of the space station, Black Tower, the true master of the Black Tower space station, was discussing stars with Himeko face to face.
Although the Star Core within Xingmei's body was not activated due to Zhou Xiao's presence, the Black Tower still sensed the Star Core within Xingmei's body.
"We need to test it..."
Black Tower stroked his chin, looked Xingmei up and down with his eyes, and said this.
"Test...how do you want to test?" Himeko asked, puzzled.
Much later.
An explosion suddenly occurred in one corner of the space station. The violent tremor panicked the crew members inside, who thought the antimatter legion was attacking again.
"This time it's confirmed! The star core is inside her body, and its condition is relatively stable. Interesting, really interesting."
In the Black Tower's secret laboratory, Black Tower looked at Star Girl, who was unleashing the power of her star core, with a look of great interest in his eyes.
Outside the chaotic laboratory, Himeko gazed at the crazed Black Tower and the Star Girl enveloped in the power of the Star Core, a resolute expression appearing on her calm face.
This little girl named Xing absolutely cannot stay on the space station...
The Black Tower's experiments were too dangerous...
Just now, she witnessed with her own eyes how the Black Tower forcibly activated the protection of the star core through external forces. Although there were protective measures, it almost damaged the star.
If we leave Xing alone on the space station, who knows what might happen if the Black Tower gets interested one day and wants to know why Xing's constitution is so special, so they slice Xing into pieces...
...
Xing fell into a coma. After examination by the Black Tower, it was determined that he had collapsed from exhaustion and was not seriously injured.
When Xing woke up again, she also faced two paths: one was to join the Starry Sky Train crew, and the other... was also to join the Starry Sky Train crew.
Huh?
How come these two roads are the same?
That's for sure.
Who would stay on the space station?
Xingmei, who had just fallen into a coma, had a bizarre dream.
It was such a vivid dream, almost like a precognitive dream.
In her dream, she faced the choice of staying on the space station or following the train crew. In the dream, she chose to stay on the space station and initially helped the Black Tower with its research, exploring the differences in her body.
The Black Tower's experiments were all quite dangerous, but thankfully she survived.
Days passed by, and the train crew would return to the space station every now and then, but the frequency gradually decreased, and Black Tower's interest in her gradually waned, until finally...
She became an ordinary, "nine-to-five" space station clerk, and lived and died in that role...
The dream felt so real, so real, that it terrified her. The monotonous, repetitive work had extinguished all her enthusiasm...
“I choose to join the Star Train,” Star Girl said decisively.
"You don't actually need to be in such a hurry. Think about it first." Himeko was clearly surprised that Hoshino would make such a decisive and quick decision.
"No need to think about it anymore, I've already figured it out."
Having just experienced that incredibly vivid dream, Xingmei's choice was unwavering.
"Hey, are you scared by the experiment just now?" Black Tower definitely didn't want her "guinea pig" to leave, and saw her continue speaking:
"That was just a test to see if the star core was really inside you. I promise future research will never be this dangerous..."
Faced with Black Tower's sincere attempt to retain him...
Xingmei naturally declined.
Xingmei said, "I'm leaving now."
"This guy... he's really infuriating! You know, the Interstellar Peace Corporation is willing to pay a huge sum of money to get my help..." Black Tower was a little angry as he watched Star Girl still resist.
“Black Tower, the train isn’t going to never return to the space station... Your research can still proceed as long as her safety is guaranteed and you have her consent.”
Himeko stepped in and tried to smooth things over.
