After discussing with Paimon, Lumine decided to send some local specialties and unique dishes collected from various countries into the chat group.
This would not only increase the group members' trust in the chat group but also make it easier to exchange for some otherworldly delicacies for Paimon later.
After all, the more kindness one extends, the greater the possibility of receiving kindness in return.
So, Lumine put in a few representative ores like the elemental creation Electro Crystal and the Liyue specialty Noctilucous Jade.
She also included several unique dishes, such as Sweet Madame, Jueyun Guoba, and Universal Peace, portioned out from Paimon's rations. After a moment's thought, she added a few bottles of Dango Milk as a dessert.
The reason for adding extra portions was that Lumine and Galaxy Baseball Man surely had their own companions, and sharing with companions was a great joy.
Administrator Lumine: "Alright, I've put some local specialties and unique delicacies into the group's storage."
Administrator Lumine: "The purple crystal is an elemental creation called Electro Crystal. It feels tingly to the touch and is a commonly used alchemy material."
Administrator Lumine: "The other one is Noctilucous Jade. Its quality is quite good. This ore is thermoluminescent, especially good Noctilucous Jade, which emits a bright, clear blue light under high temperatures. It's great for making decorations."
Administrator Lumine: "As for the food, it's mealtime, so I just conveniently put in some unique dishes from the countries we've traveled through."
Administrator Lumine: "Feel free to try them. I have plenty more. When Paimon and I travel, we always prepare these foods in advance."
Administrator Lumine: "If you have any delicious food, you can also put it in the group storage. Paimon and I would love to try otherworldly delicacies too."
Seeing Lumine's messages, Stelle wondered if this might be real.
However, before making a judgment, let me try to take them out first.
Stelle's thoughts stirred, and the phantom image of the group storage reappeared before her eyes. Indeed, there were a few strange stones and several different kinds of food inside.
With a thought, a purple Electro Crystal appeared in her hand. A faint electric current flowed through her hand, giving her a tingling sensation.
Stelle thought, 'It seems this should be real. After all, Penacony had the assistance of Acheron, and the power of other Paths had the least impact on the Nihility Path.'
Stelle began to get excited. 'If all this is true, then I truly live up to being the protagonist! I've encountered another marvel, and I might even be able to travel to other universes.'
'In that case, my Trailblaze Power would surely go off the charts! Akivili never went to other worlds, did he? Pom-Pom would have to butter me up, and all the trash cans on the Astral Express would be mine. They wouldn't have anything to say, right?' The more Stelle thought about it, the happier she became.
'Oh, right, and otherworldly delicacies! I'm coming!' Stelle opened the group storage again and took out the food Lumine had put in.
It looked a bit like the food from the Luofu. I wonder how it tastes.
Stelle suddenly thought, 'I'm the protagonist, after all! With such a great marvel, wouldn't it be a shame not to make March and the others envious?'
So, she ran to the Parlor Car and found March 7th, who was playing chess with Dan Heng: "March, Dan Heng, come quick, come quick! Let me show you my marvel. Oh, right, where are Pom-Pom, Uncle Yang, and Himeko?"
Seeing the excited Stelle, March 7th seemed to have found a savior. She quickly stood up and "accidentally" knocked over the chessboard.
March 7th said, "Oh dear, I was so clumsy! Let's go, Dan Heng. Let's go see what Stelle is talking about. We can restart later."
Dan Heng, already accustomed to this, calmly stood up and said, "Uncle Yang and Himeko went out for a stroll, and Pam Train Conductor is inspecting the Astral Express engine."
Although a few were missing, it didn't affect Stelle's excitement in the slightest: "Let's go, let's go! First, let me show you what kind of marvel I, the protagonist, have encountered."
March 7th and Dan Heng, who followed Stelle back to the Party Car, didn't notice anything unusual, except for the few extra dishes on the table.
March 7th asked curiously, "Your marvel? Is it just these few dishes? Although they look delicious, they're too ordinary, aren't they? Oh, right, you haven't been out, have you? Where did you buy this food?"
Dan Heng also had a hint of doubt. It didn't look like Luofu food, so he turned to Stelle, waiting for her explanation.
Stelle: "This isn't just any ordinary food! These are otherworldly delicacies! I, as Galaxy Baseball Man, was pulled into a cross-dimensional chat group."
The more Stelle spoke, the more excited she became: "Now I can contact others across worlds and even travel to other worlds. How about that? Pretty amazing, right? Come on, hurry up and envy me! Maybe I can even take you to trailblaze in other worlds."
March 7th looked at Stelle with disbelief: "You haven't woken up yet, have you? How can you say such strange things? Although you do go off the rails for a while sometimes."
March 7th felt as if she had seen through the truth and added, "And while I really haven't seen these foods before, you don't have to make up such a ridiculous reason, do you? Who would believe that? Right, Dan Heng."
Seeing March 7th's disbelief, Stelle took out the unique ore from earlier. "Look, this is also a specialty from another world."
March 7th took the Noctilucous Jade and examined it carefully, not finding anything special about it; it was just a somewhat pretty stone.
But when Dan Heng took the Electro Crystal, he was zapped by its faint electric current, immediately becoming suspicious: 'What a strange ore! It's self-electrified, and the energy within it is very novel.'
So he looked at Stelle: "Where did you get these ores? I haven't seen this kind of ore before, and there's no related record in the database."
Hearing Dan Heng's words, March 7th was a little surprised: "No way! Dan Heng, is there something you haven't seen before? And there's no record in the database?"
"You're not teaming up with Stelle to trick me, are you? When did you two plan this? Weren't we just playing chess?" March 7th felt as if she had found the truth again.
Stelle replied, "Oh, come on, why would I trick you? I'm not joking. I really joined such a group, and there are people from two other worlds in it, and we've been chatting quite happily."
"These meals were put into the group storage by someone named Lumine for us to eat. I'm really not lying to you. Why don't you try them first?" Stelle said helplessly.
Dan Heng thought to himself, "Traveler? Sounds like a Traveler who goes everywhere."
Then he had the same concern as Stelle: "If what Stelle said is true, then what is the purpose of this so-called group? I don't know if there's any danger, or if it will harm Stelle?"
Stelle, who suddenly thought of a solution, said, "I'll chat with them a bit more and see if I can pull you in. Hehe, once you're in, you'll know if what I'm saying is true or not."
Looking at Stelle's confident expression, March 7th fell into thought: "Could Stelle be telling the truth? It seems impossible no matter how I think about it, and I've never heard of a Stellaron Hunter being able to open up another world in another universe."
Stelle focused her attention on the chat group.
