Chapter 190 Meteor
Generally speaking, there are only two modes of transportation for pioneering journeys: one is for the train to be parked in planetary orbit, and the unnamed passengers to land in landing capsules; the other is for the train to be parked at a spaceport in some civilized world, leaving the train conductor Pam to guard the train while the others disembark and move around...
However, on special pioneering journeys, a train car would be used as a special landing pod. But ever since navigator Bob, nicknamed "Chicken Head," repeatedly used this method, severely damaging the car and even causing it to be scrapped, Pam, on the verge of exploding, issued a decree banning the use of the train car on ordinary pioneering journeys.
However, this is clearly not an ordinary exploration trip; saving lives is the top priority!
"Danheng, where do you think we should start looking?"
Upon entering the target carriage, March 7th checked his backpack one last time before departure; it contained a large amount of snacks and film.
"March, after all that analysis we did, didn't you listen at all?"
"Of course I listened! But I still want to hear the all-knowing Teacher Danheng say it again!"
Without a doubt, she was lying. Her eyes darted around, avoiding Danheng and Sunday's silent gazes. She rummaged through her backpack, trying to distract herself.
Dan Heng put his hand to his forehead; he should have thought of this sooner.
"Then I'll say it again: based on Ms. Vita's feedback and the final lag in the train's star trail trajectory, we have reason to believe..."
Dan Heng pointed to a string of small islands in the eastern part of this world's continent.
"Through comparison with the think tank, we believe there were traces of a star core here, albeit very faint, but it certainly existed. Since the star core is only a faint trace, it could mean either it was sealed away—but the probability of such an isolated civilization inventing the technology to seal a star core is low, so it's possible it was Mr. Walter's doing; or…"
"Either they are our goal for this trip, the companions we are looking for."
"Great! We'll find Uncle Yang and Qiong soon! What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
March 7th jumped excitedly, then found a good spot to sit down, waiting for Pam to detach the carriage.
"Danheng, why aren't you two sitting down?"
Danheng looked at Sunday, who smiled and gestured for him to sit down first.
On Sunday, everyone on the Starry Sky Train was a mentor and friend: Train Captain Pam told him the history of the nameless passengers, and Ms. Himeko demonstrated the essential skills of a navigator.
Needless to say, Danheng is a walking think tank! Every nameless guest is a good teacher to him, and he can learn even from March 7th...
I learned a lot.

"Boss, ten steamed buns, please!"
Kiana bought steamed buns at the breakfast shop. It was still early and there was no line, so the group naturally sat down at the tables and chairs in front of the shop to wait for Kiana to bring back the breakfast...
"Your name is Qiong, right?"
"Yes, that's me!"
Having served as president for so many years, as the boss of a large company, Raiden Ryoma's aura is far beyond what a young man like Sora can match—although Sora's two punches might be a plea for Ryoma not to die.
Through his fogged-up glasses, Walter saw Ryoma sitting next to him with his legs crossed, and opposite him, Sora, though his expression remained normal, his hand...
Walter believed that, if the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, the kid would have been holding onto the bat to ensure his "sense of security."
Go for it, Sora!
"Uncle, have some steamed buns! These are the best steamed buns at the entrance of our school!"
Kiana, with a forced smile, handed the steamed bun to Ryoma, interrupting Ryoma's attempt to build up his momentum. The clueless Kiana, however, failed to read the situation.
"Um, thank you..."
Longma looked at the steaming buns in front of him, then glanced at Lao Yang next to him, whose expression he couldn't quite make out—Walter had been on the plane for so long and was also starving. Even the leader hadn't eaten, how could you possibly eat?
"Meng—no, Wa—never mind...Teacher Yang, why don't you eat first?"
"I'm not hungry, the children eat first."
In the end, the steamed buns still ended up in Kiana and Sora's stomachs.
"How old is this year?"
Ryoma rested his elbows on the slightly greasy table, his hands propping up his chin, which reminded Qiong of how Old Yang sometimes did the same thing...
"Uncle, I'm two years old this year—"
Eighteen years old.
Walter interrupted Sora, "Two years old? If Sora says she's two years old, everyone will be confused!"
"No, no!"
Even a steamed bun in her mouth can't shut Kiana up.
"Dad said that Gray Hair is only sixteen, a little younger than me, and definitely not an adult yet!"
Dome & Walter: ...
Fine, sixteen it is then.
"Oh? Sixteen? That's not young anymore, you're a teenager now, how come you're breaking school rules?"
"Forehead……"
No matter how you look at it, climbing over a wall doesn't seem like something a good student or well-behaved child would do. Would Raiden Mei's father be willing to hand his daughter over to someone like that?
Both Sora and Kiana felt inexplicably guilty, especially Kiana.
Something's not right," Walter frowned.
"Ahem... Ryoma, you need to understand that young people grow up! There's no such thing as a young person who hasn't made mistakes! I even ran away from home back then! In the end, I realized my mistake and came back on my own..."
Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang, I love you!
Walter's revelation of his family's wealth drew Raiden Ryoma's attention, temporarily resolving the crisis for Sora.
"So, Mr. Walter, you also ran away from home once?"
"Kiana, what do you mean by 'also'?"
"You know Gray Hair, my stinky old man! The other day, my aunt was chatting with him, and they started talking about how he ran away from home when he was young—"
Kiana, eat your steamed bun!
Who airs their dirty laundry in public? Old Yang is doing this to protect Qiong, what is Kiana after?
Raiden Ryoma did not reply, but quietly watched the interaction between the two.
This girl is definitely Siegfried's daughter. Their interactions don't seem like those of ordinary friends at all... Plus, with the fact that she's the only male student in the girls' school, Raiden Ryoma feels like his precious darling is going to get a lot of cuckoldry and huge damage.
"you--"
Thunder Dragon Horse's expression was grim. The moment he spoke, a thought immediately flashed through Qiong's mind: "I'll give you a million, leave my daughter..."
Apart from Kiana and Kaslana, who seemed completely unaffected, everyone at the table was in a bad mood.
"Look, a shooting star!"
"It's almost dawn, where would a shooting star come from?"
However, upon hearing Kiana's shout, all three looked up at the sky. A "shooting star" streaked across the heavens, trailing a long tail.
"Uncle, do you know? That's a shooting star! I heard that wishes made upon shooting stars are very effective!"
"Kiana, making a wish upon a shooting star is useless! A shooting star is just a meteorite falling into the atmosphere! We must achieve our wishes through our own efforts, not by making wishes..."
"So long-winded!"
Walter realized that Sora was stalling for time with his half-hearted words! He wasn't prepared to deal with Ryoma at all!
"It's getting late, you should head back now!"
"Alright, see you in class, Uncle Yang!"

The "meteor" crashed to the ground, hitting the target area squarely.
"Here comes the unknown world!"
On March 7th, he was the first to step out of the train carriage, eager to take the first picture of the new world.
But the scene before her eyes greatly disappointed her: it seemed to be nothing more than the ruins of a city.
However, the beautiful girl possesses the superpower to comfort herself.
"Think of the bright side, at least no one will come after us for compensation, right?"
