Chapter 3 Train Recorder
Chapter 3 Train Recorder
Having been transported to a completely unfamiliar world, Eve is now extremely vigilant.
Eve knew nothing about this world at this moment.
And embarrassingly, she felt that she had lost almost all of her inner strength.
She was extremely weak at the moment, likely due to the spatial turbulence that had disrupted her power.
Fortunately, this damage is repairable, but the process is very slow, and external intervention may speed it up.
That thing called a star core is a really good thing.
Moreover, she had a vague feeling that the destructive power carried by the star core could help her open a dimensional rift and return to Teyvat.
"Sister Eve?" March 7th called out to Eve, who was lost in thought.
"You still haven't said why you're floating in space?"
Suddenly, Eve recalled many things.
Teyvat, Sumeru, the shopkeeper, the old man, Ying and Paimon, and... Nasita.
Eve's mood plummeted, and her arms trembled uncontrollably.
"It's alright, Miss Eve. If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to," Himeko comforted her, seeing that things weren't going well.
"Thank you." Eve looked at Himeko and nodded.
"Sister Eve, what are your plans for the future?" March 7 asked curiously.
"What do you plan to do...?" Eve asked hesitantly.
If she had to make a plan, all she wanted now was to regain her strength as soon as possible and find a way back to Teyvat.
“Yes, yes!” March 7th looked at Eve expectantly.
“It’s my turn now, Pam.” Pam squeezed to the front and climbed onto Eve’s bed.
“Little rabbit?” Eve said, looking at Pam.
“It’s the train conductor, Pam!” Pam immediately shouted in rebuttal.
"Ahem, newcomer, you can choose to stay on this train or get off."
Pam said, trying to sound cool.
"If you stay on the train, you must abide by the train's rules and take on the duties of the train."
"If you choose to get off, we respect your decision."
“This…” Eve fell into deep thought.
Getting on and getting off the bus may seem like simple choices, but they can lead to vastly different fates.
His goal was to return to Teyvat, which did not conflict with boarding the train.
Moreover, in an unfamiliar world, it seems better to have such a group of people.
"That little rabbit... Train conductor, what are your duties on the train?" Eve asked gently.
“Hmm… let me think… we’re currently missing a train recorder, Pam,” Pam said after careful consideration.
"Train recorder?" Eve asked, puzzled.
“It’s a job to record what happens while the train is moving,” Pam replied.
“For example, Sister Himeko is the train’s navigator, Danheng is the train’s guard, and Uncle Yang is responsible for data analysis and star map mapping,” March 7th added from the side.
"Okay, I understand." Eve nodded seriously, then asked, "And what about you?"
"I, I..." March 7th hesitated. "I...I...I'm part of the atmosphere team!!"
"The atmosphere team?" Eve asked, puzzled.
"It's just for creating atmosphere in the car, hehe," March 7 explained.
"Okay, I understand. It's free food and drinks." Eve nodded.
This is similar to the old man.
"No way!! We're really useful!" March 7th immediately pouted and said.
"So what's your choice, Pam?" Pam asked expectantly.
Eve pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I choose to board the train."
"Yay, Eve, welcome to the Star Train!" March 7th's mood instantly changed, and she shouted happily.
“Welcome, Eve,” Pam said happily.
"Welcome," Walter Young said calmly.
"Welcome aboard the train, Miss Eve," Himeko said with a smile.
“Welcome, Miss Eve,” Danheng said calmly from the side.
"Huh? You just... you agreed like that? Shouldn't you have asked me about my situation or my intentions?" Eve was a little surprised.
Why do these people seem different from usual?
“Of course I have questions, many more, but…” Walter Young’s gaze sharpened.
“But… this is the Star Train, and all the passengers on board have some unspeakable secrets,” Himeko said, taking a sip of her red tea.
"Now that we're on the bus, we have to follow the rules," Dan Heng said, leaning against the wall.
“In that case, Eve will be one of us next,” Pam said happily, waving her little hand.
"By the way, Danheng, how's your stomach?" Pam asked with some concern as she looked at Danheng leaning against the wall.
"This..." Dan Heng was speechless.
When did the train conductor's memory become so good?
He immediately clutched his stomach and pretended to be in pain.
"Oh dear, I should have let you rest in your room, Pam," Pam said worriedly.
"Does your stomach hurt?" Eve asked Danheng with concern.
"Yes," Dan Heng said without batting an eye.
"Then how about this..."
Eve stretched out her hand, and a ball of green light condensed from her hand and flew into Danheng's body.
Instantly, a rich life force spread from his body, and the people around him could feel the immense power of this force.
"This is...?" Welt Young's eyes widened in shock. At this moment, he once again sensed the aura of a Herrscher.
"Ahem, it's just a little bit of ability." Eve stuck out her little tongue.
"It seems our new passenger is not to be underestimated," Himeko said meaningfully.
"Wow, Eve is so amazing!" March 7 exclaimed excitedly.
"This..." Dan Heng stood there, stunned, his whole body trembling.
This vibrant life force, this aura, seems to...
He sensed a very familiar presence.
It's like... a plague that brings misfortune to the ancestors!
Suddenly, Danheng's eyes widened, staring intently at Eve.
Could it be that...?
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse, Pam." Pam waved her hand to shoo the crowd away.
"What's wrong, conductor? I want to get to know the new passengers better," March 7th said, pouting.
“Passenger Eve needs to rest now,” Pam said, hands on her hips.
"Why don't we just keep quiet?" March 7th continued.
“How can you know Pam if you don’t say anything? Passengers on March 7th shouldn’t be ungrateful,” Pam retorted.
"This..." Eve, as one of the parties involved, felt a little embarrassed watching the two argue.
"Alright, alright, Little March, let's listen to the train conductor. Let Miss Eve get some rest first," Himeko said with a smile.
"Alright, Himeko-neechan," March Seven said with some regret.
"Also, Miss Eve, as a new passenger on the train, I have a gift for you later," Himeko said to Eve.
“Ahem, I also have a gift,” Walter Young added.
"What?" Eve asked, suddenly curious.
"You'll find out soon enough. You should get some rest first," Himeko said with a smile.
Danheng didn't move, but stared straight at Eve.
Just then, March 7th pulled Danheng outside, saying, "Oh dear, I told you to let Sister Eve rest properly, let's go!!"
Everyone left the room, except for Pam, who remained.
"Little Rabbit... Train conductor, is there anything else?" Eve asked hesitantly.
"Hmph, I can ignore your slip of the tongue just now." Pam crossed her arms.
“Haha…” Eve laughed, finding it amusing.
This little bunny is quite cute.
“Of course there’s something wrong, Pam!” Pam continued.
"Smile!" He pulled out a camera from somewhere and snapped a picture of Eve.
Before Eve could react, the white light had already disappeared.
"I still need to give you work supplies! Wait for me, Papa."
Pam packed up her camera, jumped off the bed, and pattered out of the room.
At this moment, Eve was completely alone in the room.
"It feels... somewhat dreamlike..." Eve murmured to herself, looking at her hands.
Looking at the tidy room and the endless starry sky outside the window, it felt as if my time living in Teyvat was just yesterday.
A short while later, the "pattering" sound came again.
Pam entered the room, carrying some things in her hands.
“Here, this is your identification from the train, and your work supplies.” Pam threw a bunch of things onto Eve’s bed and climbed on.
I don't know why, but this little rabbit always likes to climb onto my bed.
"Identity documents and work supplies...?" Eve picked up the items and looked at them.
An identity card with his photo on it, a notebook and several pens, and a gold train ticket.
The photo on the card was of myself wearing a hospital gown; it must have been taken just now.
"Uh... could you take another picture...?" Eve said helplessly.
"No, once the ID is made, it can't be changed!" Pam said arrogantly, arms crossed.
Eve sighed helplessly and looked at another notebook with the words "Train Records" written on the cover.
Even though the train looks very high-tech, why is it that such primitive handwritten notebooks are used for recording?
Pam seemed to notice Eve's confusion and explained, "The train has been around since the beginning, so the supplies are a bit outdated. Don't worry about it, Pam."
"Alright, from now on you'll be the train recorder, Pam." Pam waved happily.
“Hmm.” Eve nodded slightly.
She opened the notebook and looked at it.
Inside were clean white sheets of paper, without any records.
“Um…” Eve was about to ask a question.
“I know what you want to ask, it’s because we haven’t been able to find the recorder, Pam,” Pam said helplessly, waving his hand.
"Ah... this." Eve was a little helpless. Why did she feel like she had boarded a pirate ship?
"And also, Pa, this will be your room from now on."
"You can decorate or renovate however you like, Pam," Pam said, gesturing around the room.
At that moment, the door to the room opened again.
Ji Zi and Lao Yang walked in at the same time.
Himeko was holding a stack of clothes, while Walter Yang was holding a square object.
"Miss Eve, I hope you like it." Himeko placed the clothes in her hands in front of Eve.
"These are... clothes for me?" Eve suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.
"Hmm, see how it is? The measurements were taken while you were unconscious, don't worry," Himeko said with a smile.
“This…” Eve immediately grabbed the blanket and covered her chest.
"Haha, don't worry, it was measured by machine." Himeko revealed a smug expression.
Eve breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the clothes folded in front of her to look at them.
A white dress and a white trench coat with some green stripes as decoration.
But most importantly, there was actually a leg ring inside these clothes!
“This…” Eve picked up the leg ring and looked at Himeko with a strange expression.
"Ah, this is to increase the stability of your clothes in different environments," Himeko said seriously.
But Eve felt something was off no matter how she thought about it, yet she couldn't figure out what it was.
In the end, he could only put down the leg ring in a daze.
Himeko then revealed a smug smile.
"Oh right, Pam gave that to you, right?"
"Um? You mean this?" Eve picked up the gold ticket.
“Yes.” Himeko nodded. “This is the symbol of the nameless traveler. Wearing the ticket means you belong to the Starry Sky Train’s faction.”
"Just clip it to your clothes."
“Okay, I understand.” Eve nodded.
Walter Young walked to Eve's bedside and placed the square object in his hand into Eve's hands.
"What is this...?" Eve picked up the object and her pupils widened instantly.
Isn't this a cell phone?
"This is a mobile phone, a technological product that can be used for long-distance communication and entertainment," Walter Young explained.
"I have saved all of our contact information in my phone."
"Mmm." Eve tossed and turned, her emotions running high.
I never expected to see a cell phone here.
"Hmm... As for how to use it, you can go to March 7th later, she will teach you how to use it." Walter Young thought Eve wouldn't know how to use it, so he kindly said.
"Alright, I'm leaving too. Remember to get some rest." Himeko stood up as well.
"Wait for me, and for me too, Pam!" Pam followed after him, pattering along.
Eve was left alone in the room again.
She looked at what she was holding, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
“The Star Train seems pretty good…” Eve murmured to herself.
"Waaah—waaah—"
Just then, the sound of the train starting could be heard.
Because the stellar core has disappeared, the stability of the stellar orbit has returned to normal levels.
"Attention passengers, the train is about to enter a transition phase. Please prepare to hold on tight to the handrails..."
Eve glanced at the starry sky outside, then transformed back into her white grass slime form.
"Hmm... this mode is still the most energy-efficient and comfortable~~~"
