The Heliobus floated towards the chair and landed directly on it.
Seeing this, Stelle turned to Pei Guang: "I take back what I said… this thing seems really strong…"
Pei Guang nodded: "It's extremely strong, and this is considered an item, a tool we can use at will."
In that instant, Stelle understood what Pei Guang meant. If they placed this item in the shared storage space, even if they went their separate ways, everyone could use it anytime, anywhere.
Pei Guang also thought about the Heliobus flying toward him and muttered to himself: "Looks like even in this environment, this item is effective…"
Stelle: "After all, it's something we got in the illusion… wait? Since the Heliobus got caught, does that mean…"
Stelle's mouth seemed to open on its own, and when she said this, the illusion vanished, and the group was instantly back in the real world.
"We're all back here~"
Back in reality, Qingque was the first to greet everyone.
Although in the illusion, Qingque had used her own will to do some things, upon seeing Fu Xuan, she decided it was best to act ignorant.
Seeing that Qingque seemed fine, Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked worriedly, "Are you okay, Qingque? Do you feel anything strange? Headache? Nausea? Any weird dreams?"
Qingque: "Hehe~ I think I had a dream. In the dream, I prepared lots of boxes for the two explorers and got them powerful items."
Pei Guang: "It wasn't a dream. Thanks to you, or rather, thanks to this Heliobus, we really struck gold this time!"
Fu Xuan sighed in relief when she saw that Qingque was fine: "That's good to hear."
But soon, Fu Xuan remembered her actions in the illusion and got angry.
For Fu Xuan, having her dress rope cut could be considered an experiment, but realizing that her chest had shrunk and being caught by Qingque made her voice turn stern immediately.
"Don't let me catch you napping during work hours again. Go tidy up the library."
Fu Xuan patted Qingque's head and left. Although the experiences in the illusion weren't pleasant, it was still just an illusion. After all, they were just some things Qingque had imagined.
Who certainly hadn't secretly imagined some weird things, right?
Once Fu Xuan was gone, Qingque turned to Pei Guang: "Eh heh~ I didn't expect to be possessed by a Heliobus this time~"
Qingque winked at Pei Guang.
Seeing Qingque wink like that, and recalling her actions at the end of the illusion, Pei Guang glanced at Fu Xuan's retreating figure before softly asking, "You must've regained your consciousness earlier, didn't you?"
Qingque shook her head: "Don't say that, I just regained consciousness, but Ah Guang, that golden light you pulled out was really dazzling~ That Heliobus is pretty powerful, though, it really managed to make a treasure chest that gave you an item. But it's so stingy, it gave you such a low chance."
Qingque lifted her head, a little proud.
Seeing her like this, Pei Guang spoke: "True! That Heliobus's stingy, but some people are generous. That guaranteed ten-pull gold was so satisfying, I feel great today, how about I treat you to a meal?"
Qingque: "Yay~ But what about next time? Hey~ If I keep slacking off like this today, the Master Diviner will definitely get mad. If she's angry, life will be tough in the future."
Pei Guang: "No problem, I'll owe you one. Whenever you want something, just call me, I'll treat you."
Pei Guang and Qingque exchanged glances. Though no words were spoken, they both understood the meaning behind each other's eyes.
For Qingque, she had gained a stable partner when the team was short one player, and for Pei Guang, Qingque had actually helped him obtain a golden legendary item.
This was a huge favor!!
But since Qingque said to wait until later, he'd save up for a better way to repay her.
As for the Heliobus? Huohuo took Pei Guang and Stelle to seal it in the Fyxestroll Garden.
Based on Qingque's previous hints, Pei Guang realized that the ability to open the boxes was thanks to this Heliobus. It was just that its chance settings for the first gacha pull were really low.
But it didn't matter: since he was able to open chests thanks to it, it proved that it was a useful Heliobus.
Pei Guang would give it to Tutu and have Tutu train the Heliobus well, making it into a diligent workaholic with the spirit of a craftsman.
Such a talent deserved the best treatment, because better treatment meant more chances of getting gold lights from it!
Meanwhile, while Pei Guang and Stelle were handling the Heliobus and the great items it had yielded, in the Astral Express' hall, March 7th, who was taking photos of the galaxy, suddenly noticed something new in the public storage space.
"Huh? Did Ah Guang and Stelle get some new powerful items?"
Pei Guang placed the plastic lawn chair at the very top row of the public storage space.
According to his system of classification, general materials went to the bottom, while the top row was reserved for the most useful items. However, March 7th couldn't see how this chair could possibly be useful.
Curious, she took the chair out and placed it on the ground.
She snapped a few pictures of the white plastic lawn chair from different angles but couldn't spot anything special about it.
"Hey? If Ah Guang put it at the top, it must be something really useful or fun, but it just looks like an ordinary chair."
March 7th was still pondering when Pom-Pom, holding a broom, walked over in small steps. Seeing Pom-Pom approach with the broom, March 7th hurriedly explained, "This isn't trash, it's an item Ah Guang got, but..."
She was about to explain what the chair was, especially since it didn't match the look of the train at all. If she didn't clarify, Pom-Pom might mistake it for trash and throw it away, and then she would have nowhere to cry.
Before she could finish explaining, Pom-Pom bypassed March 7th and sat down directly on the chair.
That's right: the chair's special effect had activated.
Since March 7th didn't select "invalid" for the range when using the item, the effect automatically applied to everyone except March 7th.
So, Pom-Pom, while cleaning the hall, had spotted the chair, walked over with small steps, and sat down.
March 7th was stunned as she watched Pom-Pom sit, while Pom-Pom calmly rested its left hand on the broom and its right hand on its lap, looking ahead.
"March 7th, is there something wrong?" Pom-Pom asked.
March 7th shook her head vigorously. Reflexively, she pulled out her phone and took a full-circle photo of Pom-Pom sitting on the white plastic chair, a satisfied look on her face.
After sitting for a while, Pom-Pom felt energized and got up.
As Pom-Pom continued its work, Welt entered the hall for some tasks. When he saw the chair, he silently adjusted his glasses.
Though his Earth wasn't the same as Pei Guang's, there was a similar gag on his too.
So, seeing the white plastic lawn chair awkwardly placed in the train hall, Welt also sat down without a second thought.
That day, everyone on the Astral Express felt powerful, felt the Power. And March 7th, that day, gathered blackmail material of Pom-Pom, Welt, Himeko, and Dan Heng.
When March 7th looked at the photos on her camera, with everyone looking so empowered, she finally understood the chair's strength.
"This item is just too fun, too useful!!!"
Although Pei Guang didn't explain what the chair did, seeing everyone's reaction, March 7th could guess its function.
Staring at the photos and the chair, she suddenly had a bold idea.
