Chapter 32 Interstellar Peace Organization
After Astara left, Lu Li and March 7th finally began the formal purchasing process.
With the insider discount, my budget was much more flexible.
In addition to the items on Himeko's list, the two of them could also pick up some things for themselves along the way.
March 7th shuttled back and forth between the shops, haggling even more fiercely than Lu Li, the logistics staff.
"Boss, could you make this energy bar cheaper? It's a whole box!"
"This is already the lowest price, young lady..."
"Really?" March 7 blinked her big eyes innocently. "But the store next door only sells it for eighty."
"Then... a 10% discount?"
March 7th smiled slightly, "There are eighty ones..."
"Then, how about you give me eighty-five?"
"make a deal!"
March 7th happily loaded the energy bars into the floating shopping cart, not forgetting to turn back and add, "Boss, I'll come back to you next time!"
The boss's expression was indescribable.
Lu Li watched the whole thing from the sidelines, and was amazed.
This girl usually spends her own money lavishly, but when it comes to buying things for the train, she's as stingy as a miser.
More than an hour later, the items on the list had been basically purchased.
Energy blocks, repair materials, daily supplies, coffee beans that Himeko specifically requested...
"Almost done, right?" March 7th glanced at the list. "Just one last item..."
(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)
She pointed to the bottom line and read it aloud:
"If you have any extra budget, could you bring me back a box of bunny-shaped cookies? — Pam"
Lu Li: "..."
March 7th: "..."
They exchanged a glance.
"Pam is still Pam." March 7 sighed.
"Let's go, we still have some left." Lu Li picked up the bags and packages. "Let's see where we can buy more."
After wandering around for a while, the two finally found the dessert they wanted at a dessert shop.
When he paid the bill, the clerk looked up at him and his lips moved slightly.
In the end, he said nothing, silently wrapped the cookies, and handed them over.
Lu Li noticed her hesitation, but didn't ask any further questions.
This happened at least ten times along the way.
Those who secretly took photos, those who whispered among themselves, and those who followed from a distance and then ran away blushing.
Salted Fish Rule Number Three... Hmm.
If I pretend I can't see it, then it doesn't exist.
"Let's go, everything's ready, let's get back to the train."
After having the delivery robots help send the purchased supplies back to the train, Lu Li clapped his hands and shouted, "March 7th!"
It's finally done.
Aside from almost being surrounded like a barrel, the purchase went relatively smoothly overall.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened, and no special abilities were revealed.
perfect.
Just as Lu Li was thinking of going back and making himself a celebratory coffee,
"Wait a moment!"
Just then, March 7th grabbed Lu Li's sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
March 7th didn't answer, but simply pointed to a large screen in front of him.
That's a public information screen in the commercial area.
The broadcasts usually consist of either discount announcements or internal announcements from the space station, and occasionally a couple of interstellar news stories.
But the contents of the document made Lu Li stop in his tracks.
That was a public statement.
Publisher: Interstellar Peace Corporation.
The text on the screen jumped up and down in lines:
"...Given the widespread attention the 'Sky Curtain' incident has garnered across the universe, the Interstellar Peace Corporation has decided to launch a comprehensive investigation into the key figures and events involved in Sky Curtain..."
"...Information regarding Kafka, a member of the [Star Core Hunter] organization, which appeared in the celestial canopy, has been prioritized as high priority. All member star systems are required to cooperate and provide relevant intelligence..."
"...In addition, an individual named 'Lu Li' in the sky has demonstrated extraordinary power at several key junctures. The Interstellar Peace Corporation will be searching for and contacting relevant parties in the near future... We hope that all star systems will maintain transparency and work together to safeguard the stability of interstellar order."
"Interstellar Peace Corporation wants to investigate you?" March 7's voice sounded a little nervous.
"It's not an investigation into me," Lu Li corrected, "it's an investigation into the 'Lu Li' within the celestial canopy."
"But... what if they can't tell the difference?"
March 7th was somewhat worried, "After all, you look exactly like... the one in the sky."
Lu Li frowned slightly upon hearing this.
That is indeed a problem.
Interstellar Peace Corporation.
To put it nicely, it's a neutral organization that maintains universal peace; to put it bluntly, it's a power struggle table for various forces.
But the appearance of the canopy made everyone uneasy.
The amount of information inside is enormous—the secrets of the Star Core Hunters, the strength of the Destruction Envoy, and the power displayed by "that Lu Li".
Any one of these points could be enough for various factions to hold several rounds of meetings.
Most importantly, all the entries point to the same keyword.
—Lu Li.
Although the prevailing opinion online is that "Tianmu Luli is dead, and Train Luli is just a substitute."
But official agencies don't just look at jokes online.
They will send someone to verify.
We will compare data, collect samples, and conduct background investigations.
It wasn't a problem before.
Even setting aside the fact that he couldn't be 100% sure that it really was his past life, and not something the system had made up.
Even if that really was my past life, it was a matter of the previous life.
It has nothing to do with him now.
But the key is his current strength...
If they investigate too deeply... it could get a bit troublesome.
"Forget it, don't think too much about it for now." Lu Li withdrew his gaze. "Let's go back and discuss it with Ji Zi and the others first."
March 7th hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Um."
She followed Lu Li's footsteps, but her hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the camera strap.
The two walked towards the train dock.
After taking a few steps, March 7th suddenly spoke in a low voice:
"Lu Li".
"Um?"
"Whatever they're investigating..."
March 7th took a deep breath, his voice not loud but very earnest.
"I won't let anyone take you off the train."
Lu Li turned his head and glanced at her.
This girl's expression was unusually serious, without any playful grin.
Lu Li did not answer.
He simply reached out and lightly flicked March 7's forehead.
"Let's go, you photo-taking maniac."
"Hey—what are you doing! We're being serious!"
On March 7th, he covered his forehead and stomped his feet.
Lu Li didn't say anything more, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
……
Meanwhile, in the universe not far from Azure Star.
A spaceship activated its silence mode and lay dormant.
By the spaceship window, Kafka quietly gazed at the giant space station slowly revolving around the azure star in the distance.
Suddenly, the voice of the silver wolf came from behind Kafka.
"Kafka, I've got everything ready here. You can set off now."
Kafka nodded, turned her gaze away, and walked toward the hatch.
"Then let's begin."
