A long trail of footprints was left behind.
In the past few hours.
Many thoughts had surfaced in Robin's mind.
Based on previous investigations.
The game Honkai: Star Rail possessed a unique characteristic—it could predict the future.
In the storyline, the next destination for the Astral Express was—Penacony.
This would undoubtedly attract more dream-chasers with aspirations.
If everything was as she had seen.
The Dreammaster had no reason to oppose this game!
The Dreammaster had been hiding something from her...
And there were things within the family that she was unaware of!
Robin took a deep breath.
Then she chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"It's been a long time since I've been this willful..."
"Perhaps it's because the news was too sudden."
"I'll investigate on my own... What exactly is the family hiding..."
Although Robin was a renowned idol across the universe, she was still a young girl at heart.
Her previous willful escape from the family was more of an emotional outburst.
Now that she had completely calmed down.
And had decided on the path she would take in the future.
Her gaze gradually grew firm.
"I shouldn't make my brother worry about me anymore."
Just as she was about to follow the footprints back.
She noticed a faint wisp of smoke rising from the woods ahead.
A refreshing aroma wafted over.
Robin cautiously approached to investigate.
In a newly cleared area of the forest.
A man was grilling food.
Another fire pit held a pot of clear soup.
Seeing that the man was well-dressed and appeared harmless.
Robin let her guard down.
She stepped out from the shade of the trees.
"What are you making? It smells really good."
While on the spaceship.
Robin had changed into a wig and put on glasses.
So she wasn't too worried about being recognized.
As for any malicious intentions...
Robin was no delicate flower.
The power of Harmony wasn't just limited to her singing.
"Want to join me for a bite?"
The man smiled gently at her.
As if her appearance didn't surprise him at all.
He seemed like a friendly older brother from the countryside.
Robin lightly smoothed her skirt.
And sat down on a nearby rock.
Looking at the refined man before her.
Robin felt a sense of wonder.
A chance encounter with a polite stranger.
Occasionally, a journey .
Wasn't so bad after all.
The man asked, "Did you have a fight with your family, so you came out to clear your mind?"
Robin nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed.
The man smiled again, "Sometimes, even those closest to us can't understand our thoughts."
"Just do what you believe is right."
Lin Yu served Robin a bowl.
Robin took a small sip.
The flavor was refreshing.
Her eyes sparkled with delight.
Robin smiled back at Lin Yu.
She initially thought about paying with some Credits, but suddenly felt that doing so would be too stiff, ruining the magical atmosphere of this chance encounter.
Judging from the man's attire, he didn't seem like a native of this planet either.
He was probably just like her.
Having come out for a stroll and stumbled upon this undeveloped planet.
Robin took out her phone.
Then she said, "By the way, do you play Honkai: Star Rail?"
Lin Yu replied, "Of course."
"It's the hottest game in the universe right now."
Robin launched Star Rail and opened her character panel.
With a hint of pride, she said, "I have quite a few characters with maxed-out Eidolons. Want to add me as a friend?"
Lin Yu played along, showing a surprised expression.
"Meeting a top player while out camping? That's unexpected!"
"Definitely gotta add you!"
The two exchanged friend requests.
They continued chatting about the game content of Honkai: Star Rail.
Before they knew it, the sky had darkened.
Robin stretched lightly.
The gloom from earlier had completely vanished.
It had been a long time since she felt this happy and relaxed!
Being with this person felt incredibly freeing.
She was no longer a celebrity, just an ordinary girl her age.
"I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of Star Rail's music..."
"Too bad the people around me don't really game."
"The adults at home even forbid us from playing it."
"If it were you, what would you do?"
Lin Yu stroked his chin.
After a moment of thought, he replied, "Me?"
"I'd definitely play it in secret."
"And I'd investigate why they hate the game so much. Could it be that the game makes them lose something?"
Robin's eyes widened slightly.
A flash of delight crossed her eyes.
"You think just like me!"
Robin tentatively reached out her hand.
Lin Yu immediately understood.
The two shared a perfect high-five.
Robin's cheeks flushed slightly.
Her hands pretended to casually fiddle with the hem of her skirt.
Luckily, this planet had a day-night cycle.
With the sky growing darker, the person beside her probably didn't notice...
Meanwhile, Lin Yu's lips curved into a faint smile...
Seeing the atmosphere was just right, he said, "Want to experience something even more exciting?"
Robin was startled in her heart: "What's the matter..."
Lin Yu raised his hand.
A portal appeared before them.
Was the Aurum Alley of Xianzhou Luofu.
As his own [territory], Lin Yu could teleport back at any time. The reason he opened a portal was to invite Robin.
Robin looked at Lin Yu with some surprise.
Lin Yu then said, "Through this door, you can reach the Aurum Alley on Xianzhou Luofu."
"Dare you... escape this planet with me?"
Robin's eyes widened slightly.
Her breathing became a bit rapid.
Outside this planet, the family's security was surely waiting for her return.
Even during rare moments of relaxation, members of the Bloodhound Family were following her.
Once she passed through this door.
It would mean truly escaping the family's control.
This was undoubtedly a very bold act.
This kind of thing was not the first time for Robin.
Was he an employee of the company?
Or a Pathstrider of the [Trailblaze]?
A game player from some world?
But Robin would not ask now.
Just as the man had never asked about her identity.
Robin hesitated slightly.
Robin edited a text message and sent it to her brother, Sunday.
[Brother, when you see this message, I have already gone to Xianzhou Luofu.]
[I met a very good friend who invited me on this incredible journey.]
[Consider it a small whim of your sister.]
[Don't worry, I will keep in touch...]
Gallantly extended a hand.
The two stepped into the portal together.
Robin looked around in amazement.
"We... really came to Luofu?"
"Is this... Aurum Alley?"
A down-to-earth food street.
The calls of vendors were already coming through!
Robin looked at Lin Yu in delight: "How did you do it?"
"Are you like the Trailblazer in the game, able to use domain anchors?"
"Hahaha, you can think of me that way."
"Come, let me show you the night market of our Luofu!"
