After a mont of contemplation, Bochang decided to choose the first option.
"Serval, you drive with Stelle; she'll guide you. We'll follow behind."
In Belobog, snowmobiles were available but typically reserved for the affluent.
Obviously... as the rebellious eldest daughter of the Landau family, Serval could afford to ride one. Curiously, she asked, "How did you know I can operate a snowmobile?"
"Given your expertise with machines, it's not surprising that you'd know how," Bochang casually explained.
[Reward being granted - Congratulations! You have received the skill 'Dice Saint', allowing you to roll any desired number.]
Upon hearing the system's notification, Bochang's eyes lit up.
"This, this! Exactly what I needed! Ah-ha... Next ti, let's play dice..."
Acquiring the Dice Saint skill brought a sense of relief to Bochang. Even if Aeon Aha ca knocking again, he now felt confident enough to confront him head-on.
"What kind of twisted logic is that?" Serval looked puzzled but didn't dwell on it. "However... I do need so help with my luggage."
The blonde woman carried a moderately-sized suitcase and had a guitar slung over her shoulder. Walking the entire distance would indeed be tiring.
Thus, Serval readily accepted Bochang's offer.
Stelle asked, "Why did you let ride instead... Can't March also..."
"March isn't very reliable," Bochang replied.
Already annoyed because March 7th had stolen her socks, this comnt further irked her. She retorted, "What do you an...? Actually, I'm quite dependable."
Dan Heng glanced at the pink-haired girl without any intention to respond.
Bochang tried to reassure her. "I know that, March, don't worry about it."
"Hmph!" March 7th turned away, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Bochang.
anwhile, Serval placed her belongings onto the snowmobile. She and Stelle climbed aboard, saying, "We'll be off now."
"Okay."
Bochang waved at the departing duo as he watched them leave.
After taking a few steps, March 7th couldn't resist asking, "Bochang, aren't you capable of flying? Why don't you fly now?"
"Using flight consus a significant amount of energy," Bochang replied with a shake of his head. The system had already enhanced his ntal energy four tis, resulting in sixteen tis the normal human capacity.
However, after employing the Invisible Hand...
He could now create up to ten hands simultaneously, but the maximum range remained unchanged at ten ters, showing no increase.
This realization made Bochang aware that overcoming the distance limitation might not be easily achievable.
Just monts ago, Bochang had flown for over twenty minutes to reach the Trailblaze squad.
Such prolonged flight drained a considerable amount of his ntal energy. Although he still had enough vigor to potentially fly near the lander, it would only allow him to carry one additional person at most.
There was no way he could manage another.
Moreover, there was also the robot—Perkins—to consider.
Bochang definitely couldn't carry Perkins.
It was simply too heavy, weighing over two tons.
Using the Invisible Hand to lift Perkins wasn't an issue, but attempting long-distance flight with it would be impossible. Likely after flying just a hundred ters or so, he'd run out of steam.
"I can't possibly carry Perkins... Instead, let's walk slowly. If you don't wish to walk, you can sit on its hand, similar to Sophia," Bochang suggested.
Of course...
Sophia hadn't actually sat on Perkins' hand; she hid within his body instead.
Rumor had it she brought several books inside. Now, she was probably engrossed in reading.
March 7th shook their head, "Let's pass on that..."
The group proceeded leisurely, taking nearly an hour before reaching the vicinity of the landing craft.
By then, Serval and Stelle had already boarded and taken their seats.
Once Bochang and the others joined them,
the landing craft beca quite cramped.
Originally, the Trailblaze squad consisted of four mbers plus one snowmobile. On the return trip, they now included Serval, Perkins, and Sophia.
Especially Perkins took up significant space.
Apart from the snowmobile, this shuttle occupied the most space within the cabin. Fortunately, the landing pod was sufficiently large to accommodate everyone without issue.
With a few swift operations by Dan Heng...
Flas erupted from the bottom of the pod, propelling it towards outer space.
Serval, seated near the window, gazed outside, watching as the landscape below gradually shrank.
After what felt like an eternity...
The landing pod reached outer space, and for the first ti, Serval beheld her ho—a massive icy sphere completely covered in snow, just one glance sending chills through her heart.
"The cosmos...the stars..."
As a researcher in the Silvermane Guards, Serval possessed knowledge beyond that of ordinary individuals. She knew Belobog was situated on a planet and understood the concept of the universe.
However, with the loss of advanced technology,
Serval could never truly witness these wonders firsthand. Instead, she relied solely on books for glimpses of such marvels.
Only upon seeing them with her own eyes did Serval fully grasp their awe-inspiring majesty.
March 7th smiled, "Seeing your planet for the first ti must be quite fascinating, isn't it?"
"Yes...," Serval murmured softly, placing her fingers gently against the high-strength glass window.
Seeing this, March 7th refrained from further interruption and instead turned their attention to Bochang.
"Hey, Bochang, it's getting pretty boring now. Do you have any interesting gadgets we can play with?"
Having already grown tired of playing on their phone, March 7th sought new distractions.
Bochang thought for a mont before replying, "I don't really have anything particularly fun."
"Oh, I see..." Undeterred, March 7th suggested, "Speaking of which... why don't we take so photos?"
"After all," March 7th continued, hand reaching for the cara, "we haven't captured your official entry portraits yet..."
Bochang rolled their eyes, "Haven't you taken enough pictures already?"
"That's right, March, I'm not interested in more photos." Stelle looked exasperated.
It was true that during their day at Belo's Overworld, she had accompanied March 7th in taking nurous snapshots.
Their smiles were about to freeze from all the forced cheerfulness. Given the request for more photos, their imdiate refusal was quite understandable.
"Hey... I was just joking." March 7th shook her head with a sigh. "Look at how scared you both got."
Bochang and Stelle remained silent, slightly taken aback.
Serval turned towards them, observing enviously as they chatted. Sotis... she genuinely struggled to join the conversation.
Noticing this, Bochang proactively suggested, "Serval, why don't we play cards? It's okay if you don't know how; we can teach you."
"Hmm..." Serval agreed.
Seeing her enthusiasm, March 7th produced a deck of playing cards from her pocket.
Of course...
This ti, there would be no drinking penalties.
As they happily engaged in their ga, the shuttle gradually docked with the Astral Express.
