Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 121 Please get on the bus, Ying and Paimon.

"So...who are they?"

Xing looked at Ying and Paimon with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She turned her head slightly to look at Lin Qiong, as if she wanted to get the answer to this question from him.

"I was just about to ask," Lin Qiong shook his head, feigning ignorance, "but then you came out."

Although he did know the names of those two people.

But Lin Qiong understood that if he rashly revealed their names when they didn't know him, it might arouse unnecessary suspicion.

It's better to pretend you don't know them.

"Oh."

After receiving the answer, Xing nodded slightly and did not choose to ask any further questions.

Just then.

Ying's stomach made an inopportune "gurgling" sound.

"what!"

Ying's face instantly flushed red.

She quickly clutched her uncooperative belly and muttered a complaint, "Honestly, at this time..."

That's not her fault.

After all, she and Paimon had been traveling almost non-stop since they set off at dawn, without even having time to drink water.

Just as they were planning to rest on this coast and catch some fish to fill their already hungry stomachs.

The train in front of us suddenly crashed down from the sky.

As it turned out, not only did the fish that had taken the bait escape, but the fishing rod itself was also thrown into the sea.

"Ugh."

Recalling this scene, Ying sighed softly, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.

At the same time.

Seeing that Ying was hungry, Paimon's gluttonous nature couldn't be contained.

Not to be outdone, its little belly followed closely behind Ying, making "gurgling" sounds.

Paimon rubbed his flat little belly and gave Ying an awkward smile: "Hehe...it seems like my belly has its own ideas..."

however.

Lin Qiong happened to see this scene, and a brilliant idea immediately popped into his mind.

Isn't this a great opportunity to deepen your relationship with Ying and Paimon?

Lin Qiong carefully considered his words before saying, "You two... if you don't mind, why don't you come aboard the train?"

Upon hearing this, Ying and Paimon were slightly taken aback, their gazes towards Lin Qiong filled with doubt.

They were curious as to why this person would extend an invitation to them to board the train without any apparent reason.

It's important to know that, up to now, the time spent communicating between the two sides has not exceeded ten minutes.

Faced with Lin Qiong's sudden invitation, Ying and Paimon naturally felt very suspicious.

"Hmph! Are you trying to lure us into that big iron box and then capture us?"

Paimon floated in mid-air, hands on his hips, staring at Lin Qiong warily.

"We won't fall for that!!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't misunderstand." He quickly waved his hand to clarify, "I saw that you two were still hungry, so I took the liberty of inviting you to get in the car and have something to eat."

Lin Qiong was not surprised to see that the two were still somewhat hesitant.

He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Then he added, "Of course, the food is not provided for free; you will still need to pay a small fee."

Lin Qiong pinched his index finger and thumb together, leaving a tiny gap, as if to emphasize that the reward was extremely insignificant.

"Rest assured, the reward we are asking for is not money, but information about this world."

"After all... we've just arrived here, and our understanding of this world is still quite limited."

Of course, these words were actually meant for Ying and Paimon to hear.

For Lin Qiong, Teyvat was just like strolling through his own backyard—he knew it all too well.

However... this only applies to the area before Fontainebleau.

however.

Ying and Paimeng had no idea what Lin Qiong was thinking.

However, after hearing these words, their doubts dissipated considerably.

Especially Paimon.

Upon learning that Lin Qiong was willing to exchange delicious food for information about Teyvat, He excitedly spun around in mid-air.

He raised his head, patted his chest, and said with a proud look on his face, "Hehe, you've come to the right person! No one knows Teyvat better than me!"

"Ying, don't you think so?"

After saying that, Paimon turned to Ying for confirmation.

Seeing this, Ying raised her hand to her forehead and couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh, which could be considered as acknowledging Paimon's self-praise.

"Then let's not delay, you two, get in the car and meet my companions first."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong immediately turned around, opened the car door, and gestured for Ying and Paimon to enter.

Then.

Led by Lin Qiong and Xing, Ying and Paimon arrived at the Starry Sky Train.

After getting on the bus.

Paimon floated lightly inside the carriage, glancing left and right, as if filled with curiosity about everything on the train.

After a while.

Paimon seemed to have finished exploring the observation car and drifted back to Lin Qiong and Ying's side, completely satisfied.

"You said before that this big iron box could travel all over the outside world, and I didn't believe it at all."

He scratched the back of his head sheepishly, and even his voice unconsciously lowered considerably.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong crossed his arms, smiled at Paimon, and asked, "Oh? And now?"

“Hmm…” Paimon pondered for a moment, then replied, “I’m starting to believe what you’re saying.”

During a break in their conversation.

The bus door was suddenly opened.

Xing led Himeko, Danheng, Walter Yang, March 7, and Pam out of the bus.

The once quiet and spacious observation carriage suddenly became lively.

Seeing so many unfamiliar faces suddenly appear in the carriage.

Paimon hurriedly floated back to Ying's side, hiding closely behind her, only cautiously peeking out half of his head, curiously looking at everything around him.

Upon seeing this, Himeko smiled gently.

Her gaze lingered on Lin Qiong, and she asked, "Qiong, aren't you going to explain the situation to us?"

"Huh?" Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback by the sudden call, but quickly realized, "Oh! Right, right, right!"

He moved a step to the side, revealing Ying and Paimeng to everyone.

Then.

In front of everyone, Lin Qiong recounted in detail the entire process from waking up, how he met Ying and Paimon, and why he invited them into the car.

"So... Pam, I'm asking you to cook them a big meal."

Lin Qiong clasped his hands together, his eyes shining with sincerity as he looked at Pam.

Upon hearing this, Pam readily agreed: "Of course, no problem, Pam. The train has plenty of food supplies, but..."

Suddenly, a spark of intelligence flashed in Pam's eyes as she changed the subject.

"This seems to be a world even the 'Exploration' has never reached. You should take this opportunity to refuel the train!"
