Star Train: Go crazy, all of you go crazy!

May there be peace, health, and favorable weather.

Since that's the case, then let's do it tomorrow. If you're free tomorrow, come and help us capture a few members of the Fools.

Don't worry, the compensation will be absolutely generous!

Upon hearing this, Xing raised an eyebrow and asked in a cheeky tone.

"Oh~ the reward is absolutely generous? How generous?"

Lisa thought for a moment and then said.

"What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Xing immediately spoke up.

"I want you!"

Xing's words left everyone present speechless.

What an outrageous statement!

Even Lisa was shocked.

Xing immediately blurted it out.

"I want the books in your library."

Upon hearing this, March 7th immediately began to scrutinize Xing.

"Xing, what do you need the books from Lisa's library for?"

Xing explained upon hearing this.

"It's not that I want it, it's that Clara wants it. Didn't she just go back with Ye Yun?"

She and Hook were going back to Belleburg soon; she still had many interesting books to read at Lisa's library yesterday.

"Let me help you out and see if I can borrow the book from Lisa."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood.

Lisa thought of Clara.

"Clara, she was also a well-behaved, sensible, and studious child."

Even if you don't help, I'll still agree to let her borrow the book if she wants to.

However, since you've put it that way, I won't lend it to you for free. I'll just take advantage of your labor for free!

Xing nodded in agreement.

"Then it's settled."

Afterwards, the group ate and chatted.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xing carried a sack of books and left Mondstadt.

Before leaving, Xing asked Kiana to retrieve the portal that had been kept in the spatial rift and place it in Jean's office.

Now, Jean, Lisa, Amber, and the others can head to the Star Train.

................

On the Starry Sky Train.

Xing and the others stepped out of the portal and returned to the Star Train.

On the sofa in the middle, Walter and Danheng were sitting and chatting.

The two people turned around when they heard the commotion.

"Himeko, Hoshi, you're back."

Himeko nodded slightly.

"Hmm, what did Train Conductor Pam say? Can we depart now?"

Walter said.

"We'll have to wait a bit longer. Director Toppa's warship is making way, and they just happened to stop on the train's star trails."

Upon hearing this, Himeko looked out the window and saw the three warships, Toppa, Emerald, and Sand Gold, sailing away into the distance.

"Hmm, that should be soon."

Our next stop is Pinocchio.

This time, everyone can have some fun.

We won't get off the train at Pinocchio after it arrives in Pinocchio.

Tonight, Xing, aren't you going to take Kiana and Xiao Sanyue to Liyue?

Tomorrow, we'll all meet at the hotel lobby to check in.

This was the first time Welt had ever heard of the place name Liyue.

"Liyue?"

March 7th explained with a smile.

"It's a country in Teyvat, Uncle Yang."

Last night, Xing secretly followed Ye Yun to Liyue without even inviting me!

Walter nodded upon hearing this.

"Speaking of which, Danheng and I have never seen the city-states of Teyvat before."

What's going on over there?

Upon hearing this, March 7th took out his camera and found the photos.

"Hehe~ You've come to the right person, Uncle Yang. Look, look, these are all photos we took of Mondstadt!"

Upon hearing this, Walter took the photo and began to look at it.

As he looked around, Walter couldn't help but become curious about Mondstadt.

Mondstadt looks beautiful in the photos from March.

"I'd like to go and see it when I have time."

Xing said upon hearing this.

"Isn't that simple? Just wait for the train to Pinocchio."

Anyway, aren't we going on vacation this time? We have plenty of time.

Himeko was about to say something, but after thinking about it, she decided not to speak for the time being.

She deciphered a hidden message in the "invitation" sent by her family.

[To witness the impossible in dreams, to discover the legacy of Pinocchio's father, the watchmaker, and to find the answer to why life slumbers.]

This also shows that this trip to Pinocchio was definitely not a relaxing vacation.

There must be some conspiracy waiting for them somewhere.

However, she doesn't plan to say it now, so as not to spoil everyone's good mood.

We'll talk about it after we arrive and check in.

At that moment, the portal to the Arad continent flickered, and Toppa and Sand Gold emerged from it.

Sand Gold waved his hand.

"Hi everyone."

Xing saw Sand Gold and Topa return and asked them a question.

"You've sold all your goods? Didn't you say you were going to sell goods today? To deal with that shop owner?"

Sand Gold nodded.

"Yes, that's true. However, to our surprise, the people there are very enthusiastic about our products."

In just one morning, all the goods we brought were sold out.

"We'll come back and gather another batch of goods, and take a break while we're at it. The sun on the Arad continent is really scorching."

There's something Xing can't figure out.

"Gold dust, there's something I've been wondering about."

You are dumping large quantities of rice, grains, and oils at low prices.

"Even if you manage to take over the shops, you won't make much money, right? You've already driven the prices of rice, grains, and oil down so much across the Arad continent."

Upon hearing this, Sand Gold smiled.

"Who told you that I only do business in rice, grains and oils?"

Our goal from the beginning was simply to acquire the store.

With a shop, we can use it as a base to expand the sales of various products.

Topa then added.

"Based on my discussion with Sand Gold and Jade Lady, the best-selling and most expensive items on the Arad continent are all kinds of minerals."

Secondly, there's the alcohol.

We also considered crafting weapons and equipment to sell, but after trying it out, the weapons we crafted didn't have any special effects.

As you all know, weapons from the Arad continent have enhancements for their users.

There was no other way; we had to give up this highly profitable industry.

Upon hearing this, Xing shook his head.

"No, no, no, none of the ones you mentioned are the most profitable."

The most profitable one is that woman named Kelly, with her enhancement machine!

Topa was a little puzzled when he heard this.

"Kelly's enhancement machine? I think I've seen it before. Every day, many adventurers enhance their weapons and equipment there."

Xing nodded.

"Yes! It's her! Sosia told me that Kelly is the person who makes the most money in all of Hemar."

At her place, the more gold coins are needed to upgrade weapons at higher levels.

Sosia said she had met a wealthy man who spent hundreds of millions of gold coins to upgrade a weapon to +12.

Topa was taken aback upon hearing this.

Wow, they make so much money!

Chapter 182, Kafka

Toppa had just finished selling his goods at his stall all morning, including rice, cooking oil, and other items, and he had only sold a little over 16 gold coins in total.

She knew the prices in the Arad Continent well; for an average family of three, about 1000 gold coins a month was enough for expenses.

"I'll definitely go check it out when I have some free time later."

At this time.

The broadcast started.

"Hello, hello? Attention passengers, the train is about to depart. Please hold on tight and stand firmly."

The train's next stop is Pinocchio..

Before Pam could finish speaking, the train lights suddenly flickered and then dimmed.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately went into battle mode, with Xing and March 7th back to back, alert to their surroundings.

The surrounding lights came on again, and a static noise came from the air. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, a projection appeared inside the train.

The newcomer was a woman with wine-red hair, a coat draped over her shoulders, and wearing tight pants and purple stockings.
