Chapter 17 Xingmei: I Want to Become an Apprentice! (Zhou Houqin, the logistics officer!)



Someone is feeling emo.

But I won't say who it is.

Xingmei found March 7's shivering and cold appearance quite adorable.

"Oh well, we'll have lunch soon anyway, so a little longer won't make a difference."

March 7th pouted, shedding her "resentful woman" aura, and looked at Xingmei as she introduced the Starry Sky Train.

"This is the dining area, the train's kitchen. I guess you know what it is." March 7th pointed to a carriage behind the train's kitchen car.

"That's the logistics and supplies area over there. I'll take you there. That's usually Zhou Xiao's territory."

"Zhou Xiao's territory..." Xingmei mused, "Then this place..."

"It's Zhou Xiao's territory too."

“...”

This way of describing it immediately reminded Xingmei of something.

There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree.

Led by March 7th, Xingmei opened the door of the logistics vehicle. Under the lights, the scene before her made her exclaim how comfortable it was.

As far as the eye can see, the logistics vehicle is very long, with horizontal supply shelves on both sides. Each shelf has boxes of supplies arranged from largest to smallest, and each box is labeled with its contents.

At first glance, it's so comfortable it's almost obsessive-compulsive, with all sorts of supplies neatly arranged on the shelves.

Xingmei gradually understood why Zhou Xiao was able to become the train's logistics staff.

"How is it? Isn't it comfortable!" March 7th said as if he could see right through Xingmei's heart.

"When I'm in a bad mood, I like to come here. Looking at these neatly arranged shelves makes me feel better for no reason."

“Indeed.” Xingmei nodded.

Just as she was marveling at it, a very regular clattering sound came from the end of the logistics carriage.

"What...what is that sound?" Xingmei raised an eyebrow and asked March 7.

"sound?"

On March 7th, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully before speaking:

"The sound is from the training carriage in the back. It's probably Zhou Xiao inside."

"There's a training carriage on the train???" Xingmei was slightly shocked. Although she thought the train was very luxurious from the sightseeing carriage, she didn't expect that there would even be a training carriage.

“Yes, come on, let me show you.” Seeing how interested Xingmei was, March 7th pulled her over.

"We don't usually go to the training carriage much. Zhou Xiao goes most often, almost every day, while Dan Heng and Uncle Yang go only occasionally..."

March 7th introduced the train to Xingmei while leading her to the training carriage.

At this very moment, inside the training vehicle, Zhou Xiao was doing push-ups with a weight of nearly 100 pounds pressing down on his back.

One after another, each rise and fall was an effort to squeeze out every last drop of energy.

"Is this how he usually trains?"

Xingmei stared wide-eyed as she watched Zhou Xiao, who was doing push-ups on the ground, exert force with added weight, hover in mid-air for less than a second, clap his hands, and then land steadily on the floor of the carriage.

"really."

March 7th was also somewhat surprised. She remembered that the last time she came to the training carriage to find Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao was doing push-ups and the like, but the load wasn't this heavy.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Zhou Xiao had just finished his weight training, supporting himself with one arm and using the other hand to remove the weights from his back. He stood up and saw Xingmei and March 7 asking.

"It's nothing. Xing just joined the train, so we're just showing her around," March 7 replied.

“...”

Zhou Xiao nodded, glanced at Xing, and then continued with the training.

As a self-disciplined logistics worker, this time of day is his time to train his body.

His initial training plan consisted of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and then running 10 kilometers.

These training sessions don't require much equipment. As for running, the training carriage has a treadmill that Himeko modified, which can also be used for the training.

At first, it was quite difficult to complete the daily tasks, but after getting used to it, I found it very easy, so I gradually increased the training load until I reached the load I have today.

Later, he gradually realized that he was going bald—no, he was becoming more handsome and stronger.

As Xingmei watched Zhou Xiao draw his dark red longsword and begin practicing his repetitive slashing motions, her mouth dropped open slightly.

His arms were strapped with weights, but his sword-drawing and slashing movements were still as fluid as ever, so fast that they were almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Very strong...

Xingmei was very shocked.

She sensed that Zhou Xiao's power had a source.

Day after day of training requires immense self-discipline to endure the monotony and loneliness...

"Um...can I become your apprentice?" Xingmei asked Zhou Xiao quietly.

She felt that Zhou Xiao was truly powerful on his own, while she relied on the special star core power within her body.

Therefore, in order to truly become strong on her own, she wanted to train with Zhou Xiao.

"?"

Hearing this, March 7th was slightly taken aback: "You want to become his disciple? You're not weak; you had a lot of combat experience back on the space station..."

Combat experience...

This girl didn't realize that some of her combat reactions seemed to be ingrained in her very being.

There is no trace of any learning in my memory.

certainly.

It could also be because she has amnesia.

"Me? Master?" Zhou Xiao was also incredulous when he heard Xingmei's words: "I can't teach you anything."
