Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 42 The Meaning of the Journey

Himeko, carrying Hoshi, prepared to board the train.

The train had been waiting at the station for quite some time.

At that moment, Hoshi suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, do you know how Miss Eve boarded the train back then, Himeko?"

"Well..." Himeko was about to say something when Eve's voice suddenly appeared.

"Himeko, I'm here!"

Himeko smiled slightly and looked at Hoshino, saying, "Alright, now that the person in question is here, you should ask her yourself."

Xing nodded vaguely, then looked at Eve's pure white figure and blushed slightly.

"Himeko, hasn't that guy, Mitsuki, arrived yet?"

Eve slowly walked towards them carrying a small cake, with cream still clinging to the corners of her mouth.

"No, you know her, she absolutely won't get on the train until it's about to depart." Himeko shook her head helplessly.

"By the way, what's this in your hand...?" Himeko looked at the small cake in Eve's hand.

There are indeed cakes for sale on the space station, but Eve shouldn't have any money, right?

Moreover, given her personality, she wouldn't go along with it...

Eve took another bite of cake with her fork and casually said, "Oh, this? I just swapped it with the light cone."

"Light cone?" Himeko's eyes widened immediately.

"How about that? Pretty good deal, right? You got it for just one light cone." Eve waved her hand, holding a handful of colorful light cones.

"Uh..." Himeko was speechless.

Is Guangcon a wholesale product? Our company paid a lot of money for the right to use it, so why are you selling it so cheaply?

Do you know how many small cakes you could buy with the credits you get from selling this light cone?

However, it's not surprising that Eve was the one who did this.

"By the way, what were you guys talking about just now?" Eve asked Xing, puzzled.

Himeko covered her mouth and chuckled. "Oh, it's Hoshi who has some questions she'd like to ask you."

"She's going to board the train too."

“Star?” Eve turned her gaze to Star, whose face was slightly flushed.

Isn't this my newly adopted goddaughter?

Xing's gaze fell on the half-eaten cake in Eve's hand.

Hmm, I want to eat it...

"What's wrong, little star? Is there a problem?" Eve asked gently.

The gentle words instantly made one feel like they were floating on clouds.

"Um, I'd like to know, how did you get on the train?" Xing asked boldly.

"How did I get on the train? I remember I was floating in space when the train picked me up. I think I swallowed a star core along the way, and then I joined it," Eve said after thinking for a moment.

"I see... So, didn't you hesitate back then? Weren't you worried that it would change you?" Xing continued to press.

"Of course there are. I'm not sure what will happen to my future after I board the train, what changes will occur to me, or whether I can achieve my goals."

"However, I believe that people should not worry too much about the future, but live in the present."

"Whatever choices you make now, your future self will thank you for your present self."

"Follow the path you've chosen, and no matter what you become, you'll still be yourself. The parts that are unlike you are the rewards you've gained along the way."

"I think this is the meaning of the journey."

“I understand…” Xing nodded.

After hearing Eve's words, Xing's confusion vanished instantly, and she became resolute.

Yes, no matter what you become, you are still yourself.

Eve continued, "As the saying goes, 'Follow the path you have chosen, and whatever the outcome, it will still be your own appearance. What differs from your former self is what you gain along the way...'"

Before he could finish speaking, the voice of March 7th suddenly rang out.

"Ah!! Eve! How did you get here so quickly? And you're talking about classical literature again?"

March 7th stood at a distance, holding a milkshake in her hand. She took a sip and then stared in shock at Eve in the distance.

"What's wrong with classical literature?" Eve maintained her smile, but a thumbs-up emoji appeared above her head.

Xing then peeked out from beside Eve. Oh, it was that persistent girl who had returned.

Wait a minute, why did I mention being so persistent?

"Oh dear, even the last one to return to the train, Little March, has arrived. Seriously, he's not having any fun anymore. Looks like Danheng is going to be at the bottom this time," Himeko teased with a smile.

"Himeko, you!!" March Seven took another sip of milkshake in anger.

"By the way, where did you get that milkshake in your hand, Little March?" Himeko noticed the milkshake in March's hand.

Since this was a rescue operation, March 7th shouldn't have brought his wallet.

Given Xiao Sanyue's tendency to use someone else's fire to grill meat, this milkshake probably won't be...

"Ah, this milkshake? Someone just gave it to me." March 7th took a big gulp of the milkshake, her little face puffed out.

"That person was a clerk, I think his name was something like Ujiba, but he seemed a bit mentally unstable. It's probably because the space station was attacked. He kept muttering 'Ujiba milkshake, Ujiba milkshake!' and then I gave him a milkshake to drink," March Seven explained.

"Oh, I see..." Himeko nodded slightly, but then she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, you actually dare to drink a milkshake like this?"

"Oh, what does it matter?" March 7th finished the milkshake completely and then threw it into the trash can next to her.

"Look, Himeko, I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?" March Seven stood in front of the trash can, showing off her skills.
