    Chapter 5: Jizi Shops, All Aboard

    More than half an hour later, outside a cafeteria in the space station.

    Ye Yun held a bowl of noodles, eating while watching Jizi, Star, and March 7th, three women sitting on a nearby bench browsing through goods.

    After Ye Yun left the small garden, he spent the entire time looking for accommodation.

    He kept searching, but found no lodging; instead, he found this cafeteria.

    Entering the cafeteria, Ye Yun intended to buy something to eat.

    However, the cafeteria required a work ID to make purchases.

    With no other option, Ye Yun found Black Tower and asked her to get him a space station work permit.

    Black Tower didn’t care how Ye Yun arrived at the space station.

    As long as Ye Yun had something that interested her, that was all that mattered.

    More than ten minutes later, Jizi hadn’t found what she wanted.

    March 7th saw Jizi close her phone without buying anything.

    “Jizi, if you can’t find what you like here, you can tell Ye Yun what you’re looking for.

    He said he can get anything you want.”

    Ye Yun nodded.

    “That’s right, I have items from countless worlds, as long as you have enough Star Coins, you can buy anything you want.”

    Jizi thought for a moment.

    “Do you have a coffee machine? The one on the train just broke.”

    Ye Yun snapped his fingers, and instantly summoned three coffee machines, each enveloped in bubbles and floating in the air.

    “Take a look at these three coffee machines and see which one you like.

    The first is a magic coffee machine, from a magical world. It has built-in water and grinding magic formations; just press a button and it automatically dispenses coffee. It costs 2000 Star Coins.

    The second is an automatic coffee machine, from a technological world. You just need to add coffee beans and water. The price is 500 Star Coins.

    The third is a spirit energy coffee machine, from a certain Xianxia (a genre of Chinese fantasy fiction) world. It uses spirit stones as its energy source, and the coffee it produces has the effect of enhancing physical fitness. It costs 3000 Star Coins. A special note: Spirit stones cost 100 Star Coins each and can make 100 cups of coffee.”

    After hearing Ye Yun’s introduction, Jizi immediately focused on the Spirit Energy Coffee Machine.

    This coffee machine produces coffee that actually enhances physical fitness.

    Most importantly, this coffee machine is manually operated! She preferred manual brewing the most.

    Jizi stated she wasn’t interested at all in automatic coffee machines with fixed brewing ratios.

    Jizi pointed at the Spirit Energy Coffee Machine and said,

    “I’ll take this one, but I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip; I need to go back to the train to get my Star Crystals.”

    Ye Yun put away the other two coffee machines, holding the Spirit Energy Coffee Machine in one hand.

    “Let’s go, I’m free anyway.”

    Jizi smiled gently.

    “Thank you for your trouble.”

    Then, the four of them headed towards the platform where the Star Rail train was parked.

    The four walked together, chatting and laughing along the way.

    On the way, they encountered a common treasure chest.

    Star directly lifted her Heavenly Fire Judgment and eliminated the illusory soldier guarding the chest, taking the Star Crystals inside.

    There were a full 5 Star Crystals, worth 500 Star Coins!

    March 7th was filled with regret, cursing under her breath, “Damn it! Why was I a step too slow!”

    After half an hour, the four finally arrived at the platform.

    Ye Yun looked from a high vantage point; a retro-style steam train was parked at the platform.

    In the rear carriages, Ye Yun saw Welt and Pam checking their cargo manifest.

    Seeing Ye Yun staring at the Star Rail train, Jizi smiled.

    “What do you think? Isn’t the Star Rail train magnificent?”

    Ye Yun nodded in agreement.

    “Yes, I’ve heard of the Star Rail train, but this is my first time seeing it in person.

    I never imagined that such a long train could travel through space.”

    March 7th put her hands on her hips, quite proud.

    “Of course! Our Star Rail train is incredibly fast! *Whoosh*—in an instant, it leaves everything else far behind!”

    Jizi pointed at the train.

    “Let’s go, let’s head over there.”

    Following Jizi, Ye Yun, Star, and March 7th entered the observation car.

    Star, like a curious child, examined the observation car.

    This was Star’s first time inside the train; unexpectedly, while the outside looked so retro, the interior was very futuristic.

    Jizi led Ye Yun and Star to a sofa.

    “You two can sit and rest for a bit; I’ll go get the Star Crystals. Little March, go pour two glasses of water.”

    March 7th, who was busy taking pictures with her new camera, immediately ran to get the water.

    Jizi went to her room in the sleeping car to retrieve the Star Crystals.

    Having nothing better to do, Ye Yun opened his phone and continued to transcribe items.

    Star watched him, looking at each item Ye Yun wrote down. When she saw something she was interested in, she would take a picture with her phone for later reference. March 7th, after getting the water, also joined in.

    Ten minutes later, Jizi returned to the observation car.

    Unlike when she left, she was accompanied by a young man, Dan Heng.

    Dan Heng, one of the unnamed passengers on the train, was quiet and reserved.

    March 7th was quite surprised to see Dan Heng.

    “Wow, Dan Heng, you finally decided to come out of the data room!”

    Dan Heng replied in a cold tone,

    “I was recording information about the Ruin Beasts.”

    March 7th was speechless. Dan Heng, why couldn’t he show a little more reaction?

    Oh well, she’d better check if Ye Yun has anything she wants to buy.

    Jizi handed the Star Crystals to Ye Yun.

    “Ye Yun, here are 30 Star Crystals, do you think that’s enough?”

    Ye Yun took out a scale and said,

    “Put the Star Crystals on one side.”

    Jizi placed the 30 Star Crystals on one side of the scale.

    In the next second, the 30 Star Crystals disappeared, and 30 100-Star Coin bills appeared on the other side.

    March 7th, being close by, directly took them for Jizi.

    “Jizi! These are Star Coins! Let me show you how to use them!”

    March 7th pulled Jizi to the floating Spirit Energy Coffee Machine.

    March 7th coughed twice to clear her throat.

    “Jizi, watch carefully!”

    March 7th grabbed the 3000 Star Coins and slapped them onto the bubble surrounding the Spirit Energy Coffee Machine.

    The bubble and the Star Coins disappeared simultaneously, and the Spirit Energy Coffee Machine gently landed on the ground.

    “Ta-da! It’s done!”

    Jizi looked at the lively March 7th and smiled gently.

    “Good, thank you, March.”

    March 7th chuckled, very happy inside.

    Jizi then turned to Ye Yun.

    “Ye Yun, could you let Dan Heng see your item list?”

    Hearing this, Ye Yun handed his updated item list to Dan Heng.

    Dan Heng simply said “Thank you” and began to look through it.

    Jizi moved the Spirit Energy Coffee Machine and placed it on a nearby cabinet.

    Seeing Dan Heng still selecting items, Ye Yun thought for a moment, then went to Jizi’s side to watch.

    Jizi looked at the spirit stone slot and realized she hadn’t bought any spirit stones yet.

    Seeing this, Ye Yun spent 100 Star Coins to buy a spirit stone.

    All Star Coins earned from selling goods belonged to Ye Yun; the system didn’t take a single coin.

    “Here, I’ll give you one, try it.”

    Jizi’s lips curved into a slight smile.

    “Thank you.”
