Eula took the cup but didn’t finish her words.

“Are you and Sora in a relationship?”

“…No, we’ve broken up.”

Ji Zi hit a big snag right at the start and could only smile awkwardly but politely.

Eula’s expression of no emotion made her unsure about where her tolerance for continuing to work for her “ex-boyfriend” came from.

Judging from their exquisite cooperation and absolute trust in the team, the breakup process did not seem so unforgettable. However, Eula’s concern for Sora should not be the attitude she should have towards a “man of the past”.

There is a lot of knowledge involved here, and Ji Zi doesn’t even dare to say that she can understand it.

“Don’t get me wrong, even though we broke up, it doesn’t mean I can’t win him back. That snake girl over there is planning the same thing as me.”

“…I can probably understand what’s going on now.”

Ji Zi took a sip of coffee calmly.

In fact, she was even more surprised. What a twisted relationship within the team.

“Ah? Miss Holhaiya is Sora’s…ex-girlfriend?”

On the other side, the voice of a certain pink-haired girl suddenly rose, with a sense of exclamation that a JK deliberately made to please the other party.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Holhaiya dragged her away, she finally relied on her simple nature to successfully get close to Quetzalcoatl and started a “girlish gossip chat” with her.

“I don’t know which Doctor’s relationship I am. Strictly speaking, I only know that he should be single for the time being.”

Xiao Sanyue also found out something incredible, which is to say that the two girls in this team have had a relationship with Kong, or they still have an unclear relationship with him!

It’s her favorite eight o’clock drama!

With such a cute face, is he actually a scumbag who will abandon you when you get tired of playing with him?

Such a subtle thought flashed through Ji Zi and San Yue Qi’s minds at the same time, but as if there was a terrible tacit understanding, Eula and Holhaiya immediately spoke up to defend Sora:

“About the breakup…it’s not the Doctor’s fault.”

Holhaiya turned around and looked at Kong who was happily chatting with Paimeng and Danheng.

“We had already agreed in advance that he would definitely leave… This reunion was actually an accident, or even a miracle.”

Eula supported her cheek and turned the coffee cup, as if it contained beer instead of black liquid.

“Eh?”

Just as they were about to label Kong as a scumbag, Ji Zi and San Yue Qi became curious again.

“The doctor has a very heavy task, and it is a task that cannot be refused. It is destiny and mission. He will be teleported to a distant place every once in a while. After helping the locals solve the most important problems, he will start the next irresistible journey, and we will never find him again.”

Holhaiya’s expression of reminiscence seemed to span a hundred years: “It could be a few years, or an immeasurable span of time. Depending on the size of the difficulties he encountered, the length of time he stayed was different, but there would always be a day of separation. It was also because of this relationship that he, who had countless admirers, never considered getting married, and had no interest in various excellent suitors. He did not want to leave too many beautiful but empty memories for the other party, because he could not come back to see his friends and lovers even once.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t do it.”

Eula’s eyes were burning, and her champagne-colored eyes seemed to be brewing some kind of fiery emotion: “I was willing to give up the last name of Lawrence for him, but when the moment came when he left without saying goodbye, I realized that I was too self-righteous… My little contribution could not move his system, nor could it move Teyvat.”

“Then you guys…” Ji Zi hesitated to speak.

“This reunion is a miracle. No matter what, I must seize the opportunity.”

“…Have you ever thought that this kind of reunion might have happened in the past? He just didn’t tell you?”

Jizi’s words were not very pleasing, but she was only reminding her out of concern for Eula.

“Sora never lies, at least not to people he agrees with. I don’t think you should question him, Ms. Himeko. You don’t know him well enough. Compared to us–“

Eula’s expression became serious again:

“You can say that he was able to find a new woman quickly after every breakup, but he never cheated on the guys he had relationships with. He put his inevitable future departure first, and only if the other party could accept it would there be follow-up.”

“But you were summoned to his side and successfully arrived at another world… Since you set this precedent…” Ji Zi frowned slightly.

“I understand. It means there will probably be endless ‘ex’ coming to him, but it’s okay, I’m ready. Even if I can’t get back together with him completely… I can’t live without him anyway, so I’ll just stand firm first.”

Yula expressed a determination that made Jizi respect her in a calm tone: “Jizi, you haven’t met a man who can make you give everything for him, but I have, so don’t persuade me anymore.”

“Well, sorry for asking so much.”

“…Can you tell me what you like about him?”

“His fighting ability, wisdom, sincerity, and care for his friends… everything we need on the road.”

Ji Zi also tried to be honest and took another sip of coffee: “The road of pioneering is not always smooth. Although I don’t appreciate him in that aspect, I feel very comfortable getting along with him. You see… Dan Heng rarely opens his heart to someone. Except when he took care of San Yueqi as a fellow young man, he prefers to be alone. There are not many people who can make him smile.”

She tapped the cup holder and the bottom of the cup together. “And absorb Sora into the train. The two of you experienced fighters will be able to help the train. Even if you said you might be ‘deported’ at any time, as long as Sora is on the train, I believe there will always be surprises waiting for us, and we may also get to know other outstanding people.”

“He’s allowed me to tell you so many secrets… Anyway, I don’t hate being with you.”

Yura also raised her cup slightly and gestured to Himeko:

“Oh, I forgot to say-thank you for the coffee, ahem!!”

Originally, she just wanted to show her noble demeanor and take a sip elegantly to express her willingness to cooperate, but Eula seemed to have drunk a mouthful of boiling mud and almost sprayed it on Himeko’s face.

What the hell is this? It’s just like this, medicine residue and sawdust soaked in water! !

The extreme bitterness and fragrance rushed straight to Eula’s head, making her feel as if she saw a group of little singing men with wings of wind spread out, playing the piano and spinning in front of her eyes.

“Sorry, the water I added was very hot—”

“No, I lost my composure… cough cough cough!”

If Jizi hadn’t looked normal, and even enjoyed sipping her cup of wine, Eula would have thought that Jizi was deliberately trying to harm her.

The version I drank in Xumi wasn’t that strong! As expected of someone from another world! It seems I have to be cautious about everything I eat from now on!

15. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

“Hey, I did a good job of supporting you, didn’t I?”

“You did a great job, Paimon. I’ll reward you with a big dinner tonight! And according to the share of the profits, you’ll get a huge sum of money!”

“Great!”

The girls’ chat went smoothly, and Sora’s chat was not bad either:

“According to the rules of bounty hunters, you also get 10% of the share, Dan Heng!”

“No, I don’t need to buy anything.”

Dan Heng was not trying to brag, he just felt that the work he put in was not worthy of the 10% share – although he did contribute, he knew that the most crucial thing was Kong’s command and the final shocking axe.

Even though Sora wasn’t carrying the axe now, he could still hear the deafening words “Totally crazy!”

“If you can’t think of anything to buy for now, you can give the money to Jizi for safekeeping, and you can withdraw it next time you update your equipment. Your share is not a few thousand or tens of thousands of credit points, but two billion!”

“…It’s indeed not a small amount. Is this really appropriate?”

Five thousand credit points are enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for a week in a company site with high prices, and two billion yuan can almost buy a medium-sized luxury leisure spaceship, and this is only one-tenth of it – the head of Doomsday Beast is worth this price.

Dan Heng’s paralyzed face actually showed signs of loosening. Although he had smiled several times before where Kong couldn’t see, the shaking this time was more obvious.

He simply felt puzzled by the fact that Sora had no hesitation in giving a huge sum of money to a “teammate who didn’t contribute much”.

Ten percent is already a lot, and it is even more amazing considering the total number. Dan Heng has seen even larger transactions, and he knows that with his own abilities, he can definitely make a lot if he concentrates on making money. However, being confident in one’s own abilities is not the same mentality as receiving money “for free” from others.

“Of course it’s appropriate, what’s inappropriate?”

Kong pinched his fingers in a philistine manner and said, “In my previous company, people with your skills could directly take the shares. Just keep them. If there are any more lucrative jobs in the future, I will introduce them to you first.”

“Thank you, but this kind of work is not what I want… A pioneering life is an adventure, but that doesn’t mean I want to take extra risks.”

“It’s all right, it’s all right, I’ll find a way to make the adventure we have to go through economically worthwhile.”

“?”

Dan Heng was stunned: “…You have already talked to Miss Ji Zi, are you going to get in the car?”

“Because I don’t know where else I can go. Ah, I’m not complaining about myself. The stationmaster’s place might be a good place to go, but my system suggests that I go with you. Like I said before, this is a ‘test line’ provided by Party A.”

Kong smiled brightly: “Finding other ways to complete Party A’s testing requirements requires more brainpower. I think you are good people… You don’t dislike me, and my system will not issue tasks that deviate from your original intentions. What do you think? My team members and I are not only good at fighting, but also very accurate in calculations. Maybe our previous experience of time travel can come in handy.”

“I have no objection, as long as Miss Jizi and Mr. Walter agree…”

Kong’s way of trying to make friends was a little deliberate, but Dan Heng didn’t mind it at all: “Also, we need to discuss the matter of the star core with Ms. Heita… Although the loss of the star core is not your fault, we can’t just take it and leave without saying goodbye.”

“Well, wait until Black Tower contacts the train again, and I’ll go over to meet him.”

It was a sophisticated social method based on sincerity. The powerful part was that Kong first showed all his sincerity. If such a person did not have a strong ability to protect himself, he would suffer a great loss, but he might also gain another group of sincere friends…

“Let’s exchange contact information and I’ll transfer the money to you right away.”

Sora licked his lips and said, “As for Paimon and I, deposit them into Jizi’s account first. Otherwise, with our appetites, we might even bankrupt you – pay for the food, heating and accommodation first, so that you won’t be able to kick me out of the car.”

“Don’t take me with you! I can’t eat even one percent of what you eat now!” Paimeng stamped his feet in anger, “And why do you have to hand it all over? Leave some for me as pocket money!”

“Okay, then I’ll withdraw 5000 credit points from you first.”

“This is too little!”

Seeing Paimon tapping on Kong’s head, Dan Heng could only purse his lips to prevent himself from laughing too obviously:

“…Jezi should give each of you a mobile phone later. We don’t communicate very often using bracelets. The company’s products have a short communication range, so we have to use our own modified ones—they have higher power and anti-eavesdropping functions.”

Unconsciously, Dan Heng had completed the transformation from accepting Kong to finding ways to help Kong gain benefits.

He had very sharp perceptions, so of course he heard what Ji Zi was discussing. He was relieved that the “boss” wanted Kong to get on the bus.

Now, the only thing left is that Mr. Walter has not expressed his opinion on the matter.

As if in a hurry to get to the set, a figure walked quickly up to the connection between the base cabin and Dan Heng turned around, looking at the other person’s reflective glasses with a little trepidation.

After all, as one of the two brains on the train, Mr. Walter often made different judgments from Jizi, but he rarely opposed Jizi’s final decision…

Walter is willing to take him and Sanyue in, but what about Kong? Can he catch the other party’s eye?

“Sorry, there are too many enemies in the base compartment. We just dealt with the ones that were blocking the way…”

The tall middle-aged man who ran to Dan Heng dropped his cane and adjusted his glasses with one hand. The vicissitudes brought by the angular features of his face could not suppress his handsomeness. Not to mention his youth, he is still a qualified girl killer now.

Walter looked calm and unhurried, but in fact he was quite worried about the situation of the train set because he was five minutes later than his planned rendezvous time.

I don’t know if it’s because the counterattack on the upper level went too smoothly, most of the virtual soldiers were driven to the base cabin, forcing him to use his invincibility and fight his way out.

Fortunately, the train crew was intact, and there were even a few new faces.
