Chapter 555 - 561: Sampo: Yu Ling Slaughtered Me Like a Pig!
Pom-Pom was a bit flustered.This was the first time it had faced such a situation!
The worst was the sudden silence in the air,
And the unexpected concern from a stranger!
If the Astral Express Crew were here, it would have consulted old Yang or Himeko first.
But they weren't here now,
And the other party's request was very urgent!
Pom-Pom felt that it was time to reach out and connect with the outside world.
She thought this person spoke very pleasantly and likely meant no harm.
Besides, she had always been on the Astral Express.
There's nothing one can do if others want to harm them.
Perhaps,
they really are a traveler who yearns for the Trailblaze?
After all, Honkai: Star Rail is so popular right now.
You can tell just by looking at the barrage of comments during the story scenes.
Many people aspire to live the life of the Nameless!
It's no surprise that this conductor has gained some loyal followers!
Thinking this,
Pom-Pom smiled happily.
[Alright, no problem, Pom!]
The other party replied instantly.
[As expected of the wise and mighty conductor~]
[Please sign this contract~]
[I will definitely spread the image of the conductor far and wide~]
Pom-Pom clicked the link.
A signature interface appeared.
Reaching out,
she tapped on it.
Her biometric information was quickly recognized, and her name was automatically signed.
On the other side.
Sampo saw that Pom-Pom had signed.
His lips trembled with excitement!
"I'm rich! I'm rich!"
"This time, I'm really rich!"
He carefully saved the contract.
Then.
Made a call!
"Hey, hey, hey—"
"Yes, it's me, old Sampo!"
"Increase production! Go all out!"
"Our Pom-Pom plushies have official authorization now, with the contract as proof!"
"Besides the classic design, arrange for all the other designs too!"
"And don't forget the chef Pom-Pom from this event's story, make sure to include that!"
Sampo had secretly manufactured a batch of Pom-Pom plushies a long time ago, but without the Astral Express copyright, he could only sell them privately.
Now,
he could do it openly!
All his efforts to get Pom-Pom's contact information had finally paid off!
Everything went as he had planned!
The conductor was naive and had no idea of the value of her own image!
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The entire Astral Express Crew had come to attend the viewing ceremony, and she was alone without anyone to consult.
Finally, he had tricked her… no, invited her to sign!
For a long time to come, he could spend lavishly and live it up!
Sampo was in high spirits.
He logged into his Honkai: Star Rail account.
Due to his bad reputation, he hadn't completed any orders in a long time.
Before this, he could barely afford to renew his monthly pass!
But now,
he could spend freely!
He immediately topped up ten times at the highest tier!
"Hehe, let's pull for Sunday, no… the Son of Heaven~"
Sampo thought that this former family head actually had a talent for joining the Masked Fools.
Time to pull!
Soon,
the pity system kicked in.
A golden light burst out from the cabin.
Pom-Pom was blown away by the powerful airflow inside!
Sampo chuckled.
This action would also be made into plushies and standees!
They would definitely sell like hotcakes!
[Welt (5-star Imaginary)]
Off-banner.
A bit unlucky.
No problem, I'm about to be rich!
Keep pulling!
Go all out with six pulls!
Show off that extravagance!
80 pulls for the hard pity.
Then,
another pity!
[Himeko (5-star Fire)]
After that, every pull was a hard pity!
He spent all his Stellar Jade and only managed to get two pulls!
Was he really this unlucky?
How could this be?!
Had he really become a member of the Pom-Pom Protection Association?
He had heard that offending Pom-Pom would make your pulls unlucky.
Sampo didn't believe it before,
but now he was starting to feel uneasy!
Top up ten more times!
This time, he wouldn't pull for characters, but for Light Cones!
"Buzz!"
[In the Name of the World]!
In the Light Cone, Welt's gaze was piercingly sharp.
Crimson lightning intertwined at his fingertips!
He looked incredibly cool, and his name was quite impressive.
But!
This wasn't the exclusive Light Cone for Sunday that I wanted to pull!
Another miss!
Something's off!
This is beyond just off—it's completely wrong!
Reason told Sampo that today wasn't the day for pulling cards, that he should stop now!
But that tiny sliver of hope in his heart kept him going.
A small guarantee.
Missed again!
Another miss!
Whose big black rat is this?!
It took a steady 160 pulls just to get one desired gold!
After upgrading the Light Cone to Superimposition 2,
Sampo finally stopped.
Not because reason had triumphed over emotion.
But because he had already poured all his money into it.
Now, he could only wait for this batch of Pom-Pom plushies to sell like hotcakes.
Otherwise,
in the days to come,
even eating would become a problem!
Sampo flipped through his pull history, nearly on the verge of tears.
"Damn you, Yu Ling!"
"I haven't even started celebrating the New Year, and you're already slaughtering me like a pig?"
...
In Little Gui's livestream.
The plot was progressing.
"How many 'tomorrows' has it been now?"
"The Conductor understands, the beginning is always the hardest."
March 7th said enthusiastically, "Today, we're here to help you solve that beginning problem!"
"Pom-Pom has prepared a startup fund. Let's try using it to build the bedroom first!"
[So tired, let's talk about it tomorrow.]
"No! Today, we're staying with you, no matter what, we're going to get the bedroom decorated!"
And so,
the decoration of the Trailblazer's room officially began 0 .....
Little Gui glanced at the popped-up Interastral Guide interface.
Soon,
A confident and understanding expression appeared on her face!
"Very simple! The event storyline this time is about earning rewards through renovation～"
"Perfect timing, as I, Little Gui, am also planning to move to a bigger house. I can take some inspiration from this room's decor!"
With a gentle tap on the screen,
The scattered clutter was instantly cleared away.
Next came the most basic furniture.
—Place a bed!
[Sleeping doesn't necessarily require a bed, but having one is always better. Even if it's not used for sleeping, it can still serve as a stage for pillow fights.]
Another gentle tap.
The large bed and bedside table were already set up.
A soft and comfortable bed, placed right under the window.
Outside was the deep and mesmerizing starry sky.
Beside it was a neat and tidy bedside table.
Though this was the simplest setup,
It made Little Gui's heart flutter with excitement!
"Wow!"
"If only renovating could be this convenient in real life!"
"Although physical printing can also be this fast, it just doesn't feel as satisfying as personally arranging everything."
...
Stelle, Pom-Pom, and March 7th gathered around the newly assembled bed.
Pom-Pom exclaimed, "Huff, huff, it's finally done! The passenger's room construction has taken its first step!"
"So touching, Pom… The conductor thought there'd be no chance to see this room fully decorated…"
March 7th was thrilled, feeling a unique sense of accomplishment.
"Hahaha, this is a small step for Stelle, but a giant leap for humanity in overcoming procrastination!"
"Hmm… seems like we're missing a pillow? Though someone who can sleep in a cardboard box might not need one…"
Pom-Pom: "Mmm… maybe we can make do for now and buy one tomorrow?"
"That won't do! If we delay until tomorrow, it'll just be postponed indefinitely! Wait for me～"
"Let's use this pillow for now～ Luckily, my room has plenty of pillows! I always said they're a necessity in life～"
Soon,
March 7th returned with a pillow.
After placing it,
It surprisingly looked perfectly matched!
"Tomorrow, there's still a lot of duty work to do! Hehe, this time you can't escape～"
March 7th playfully waved her hand.
"Goodnight, sweet dreams～"
...
"Mission description here: [The saying 'If you're sleepy, come to the pillow' can be so vividly depicted! March 7th, you're so gentle.]"
""March 7th, You're So Gentle""
"Yu Ling. Can you make money? Hurry up and release this same pillow and bed!"
"Hmm, March 7th's pillow, no need to wash it. If I get hungry at night, I'll just take a bite."
"The pillow's color resembles me, the body pillow's color resembles March 7th, and this arrangement symbolizes March 7th leaning in my arms."
"It's too late, March 7th, why don't you just sleep here."
"You guys are really hungry!"
