Chapter 137 Testing
"The Starry Sky Train... although the interior is not bad, the space is just too small."
Topa boarded the train, looking around and shaking her head slightly.
Compared to her eco-starship, the Star Train seemed much smaller.
However, the interior is quite comfortable, which is sufficient for a train traveling in space.
“Miss Topa, this place is naturally not comparable to your starship, but it’s already very good for us,” Himeko said seriously from the side.
The train can't compare to the company's large eco-ships, but it's still their home.
"Haha, sorry, sorry, but the interior here is quite nice, it looks very cozy." Toppa noticed Himeko's dissatisfaction and immediately said.
As an organization that moves among various forces, Star Train may be small in power, but it enjoys a high reputation.
Moreover, Toppa was here to ask for a favor, so he was willing to give the train face.
However, as a shrewd and shrewd businesswoman, Toppa was well aware that her words would offend the train crew, but she said them anyway.
This was a test, a probe to gauge the train crew's attitude.
Different answers will determine her attitude and approach in the subsequent conversation.
If the train crew is very tough or angry, then I will relax the conditions and give up some benefits appropriately.
But if the train crew is weak, then one can take advantage of the situation.
After all, he's a businessman, and he wants to maximize profits.
The current situation can only be described as normal; nothing has been discovered yet. And the navigator of the train crew, Ms. Himeko, is no ordinary person.
"You're the train's navigator, Ms. Himeko, right?" Topa asked tentatively.
“Yes, I am the navigator, Himeko. I will be in charge of all the specific matters on the train.” Himeko nodded.
“The interior is nice, but some things are a bit outdated. I can offer you a low-interest loan, what do you think?” Toppa suddenly pulled out a form.
Himeko didn't even glance at it, then said, "No need, thank you."
"Miss Toppa need not worry about the train's finances."
"Alright." Topa had no choice but to take the order back.
Just then, Pam walked over, pattering along.
"Um, would you like some juice?" Pam asked somewhat awkwardly, placing her small broom behind her back.
Topa looked at Pam and suddenly became excited.
She crouched down and looked at Pam with a smile. "You're the conductor of this train, right?"
"You're so cute! Would you like to come to my place? I'll definitely give you a living environment that's many times better than here!" Topa said excitedly.
Seeing Toppa's excited expression, Pam was immediately startled.
Before arriving, Toppa had prepared his personal information for the train.
Besides the navigator Himeko, there's also the train conductor named Pam.
Toppa wasn't attracted to Pam's status as a train conductor, but rather to Pam's appearance.
They're so cute! I can't resist taking them back to my own eco-starship.
"No, no, no, Pam! Pam loves her train!" Pam immediately hid behind the potted vines Eve had left behind.
"Really? Okay." Topa spread his hands helplessly.
Being too direct won't work; we need to use a more indirect approach.
"Ahem, Miss Topa, let's not tease Pam anymore, or he'll get upset," Himeko said from the side.
Topa realized he had overstepped his bounds and stopped what he was doing.
At that moment, Walter Young walked over.
He coughed a few times and said, "Miss Topa, please just say what you need to say."
Seeing Walter's serious expression, Toppa spread his hands and said, "Alright, Mr. Walter."
According to the information we have, in addition to Mr. Walter and Ms. Himeko, there is another Mr. Danheng on the train, and Ms. March 7 and Ms. Hoshi are not present.
Miss Eve shared the same goal.
Guided by Himeko, Topa sat down on a chair on the train.
At this moment, Topa seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh right, these are some gifts for you. I came in a bit of a hurry, please forgive me."
After saying that, she snapped her fingers, and a small dimensional piggy bank jumped out from the space behind her.
It was carrying a large bag of things in its mouth.
“This is Zhang Zhang, my good friend,” Topa explained.
Zhangzhang put the thing she was carrying in her mouth on the table, and then jumped into Toppa's arms.
Then, Toppa took out all the beautifully wrapped gifts from the bag.
"This is for Ms. Himeko. I've heard that you like to make coffee. This is the company's latest coffee machine, which can easily grind and make coffee from any kind of coffee beans."
"A coffee machine? It seems Miss Topa has really put in the effort," Himeko said meaningfully.
"Haha, since we're here to pay a visit, of course we need to make some preparations," Topa said with a smile.
"And this is Mr. Walter's. Inside is a classic record player, which is quite old. It is said to have been made by the music master Beethoven. I hope you like it."
Toppa pushed a box in front of Walter Young.
“This…” Walter Young hesitated for a moment.
He had to admit that he was indeed somewhat tempted.
"Oh right, and the train conductor too."
Toppa then took out a small gift box from the bag.
"Inside is a gold model based on the Starry Sky Train, made to a 1:100 scale."
“A life-size model of the Star Train…” Pam was also somewhat tempted.
"I also prepared gifts for the other passengers on the train, but they don't seem to be here right now. Please pass them on to them, Miss Himeko," Topa continued.
At this moment, Walter Young coughed a few times.
“Miss Topa, thank you for your gift, but please explain why you came to the train.”
Toppa was silent for a moment, then continued:
"I actually came to the train to see Miss Eve."
“Eve?” Walter Young’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
"As for why, I think you should know, the strategic investment department wants to talk to her about a collaboration."
After saying that, Topa began to observe the expressions of the two people on the train.
Everyone on the train must know that Miss Eve is an Envoy of [Intelligence].
However, Toppa was very curious about their attitude towards Miss Eve.
Walter Yang and Himeko exchanged a glance, then said, "The Strategic Investment Department?"
“You’re looking for Miss Eve, but unfortunately, she’s currently on a pioneering expedition and isn’t on the train,” Walter Young said.
“Really?” Toppa stared at Walter Young. “Well then, where can I meet Miss Eve?”
"I think I still need to meet with her and talk to her."
At this moment, Himeko spoke up, "Miss Eve is currently at 6 Arillo. If you want to see her, you can try looking for her there."
“Okay, thank you, Ms. Himeko.” Topa smiled.
“However, wouldn’t you really like to consider a low-interest loan?” Topa pitched again.
"Ahem, really, it's not necessary," Himeko said helplessly.
She sighed; this Topa was really troublesome.
"Alright, then goodbye to everyone on the train crew, and I look forward to seeing you again."
After saying that, Topa left the train.
We've obtained the information we needed, so there's no need to stay here any longer.
After Toppa left, Walter Yang looked at Himeko and asked doubtfully, "Himeko, isn't it a bit... a bit much to just tell her Eve's location so directly?"
“Don’t worry, Welt.” Himeko shook her head.
“The other party has already made such thorough preparations, they must have come prepared.” Himeko pointed to the gifts covering the table.
"So whether we say it or not doesn't really matter much; the other party will definitely be able to find it."
"Sigh, I really still don't like dealing with people at the company. Their words and actions always seem so purposeful," Himeko sighed.
“This…” Walter pondered for a moment.
“This Miss Topa is quite something; no wonder she’s become one of the ‘Stoneheart Ten’ at such a young age.”
"However, if we were to face Eve, we should think twice before we do so." Himeko's lips curled up slightly.
Even the Black Tower couldn't get along with Eve, let alone a senior executive of your company.
Good luck anyway, Miss Topa.
