Honkai: Star Rail — A Nameless Traveler, a New Path Every Day - Chapter 14

Yu Yan tried to snatch his precious blueprints back from Himeko, but ended up empty-handed.

Himeko tucked the roll of blueprints behind her back, holding a cup of coffee in her other hand.

“Feeling insecure?”

“Yes, yes, it’s just that I don’t feel safe.” Yu Yan nodded, trying to make his expression look more sincere. “Himeko-neechan, think about it, I’m so weak, any guy with a gun could easily pin me to the ground, so of course I need to prepare something for self-defense…”

“Galaxy Destroyer Bomb”

“Well……”

“For self-defense.”

“Defense…self-defense, it’s about taking precautions, being prepared for any eventuality, and being ready for anything…” You Yan’s speech became faster and faster, and his eyes began to wander.

“Do you need a weapon of this strength for self-defense?” Himeko’s smile remained gentle. “Confiscated. It’s more appropriate to store it in the train’s safe. Also, you can’t manufacture this kind of thing on the train.”

“Sister Himeko, could we… discuss this a little?” Yu Yan tried to make a last-ditch effort, rubbing his hands together in front of him with a fawning expression. “For example, I won’t build the actual object, I’ll just keep the blueprints as a souvenir? Or I can reduce the yield? Make it planetary level? Satellite level would be fine too!”

Himeko’s smile grew even brighter.

“Can’t.”

You Yan’s face immediately fell.

“At least you can create some less dangerous inventions. I think the power transfer glove is pretty fun.”

On March 7th, he ran over and shook hands with Little Blue Lantern (?), and then lifted the sofa up.

“It has that much strength?”

On March 7th, I discovered that the area I improved the most was my grip strength.

However, the little blue light now walks listlessly.

“First, you are not allowed to manufacture any weapons on the train with an energy level exceeding that of a weapon capable of destroying your room. Second, you are not allowed to research any devices involving the concept of ‘large-scale’. Third, you must tell me or Walter before you manufacture anything you feel might be dangerous.”

“Sigh, okay, Himeko-neechan, I promise I’ll only make inventions for civilian use from now on.”

Youyan looked aggrieved.

After sealing Yuuen’s galactic destruction bomb blueprints in a safe, Himeko had a strange premonition.

The train may need to purchase new safes in the future.

The sealed box is said to be…

When the Trail Blazers get on the bus, they’ll first steal the forbidden blueprints from Youyan.

Regarding Naruto.

“It’s still a child; it hasn’t even had a chance to see this beautiful world yet.”

“If it saw this, the world might not be so beautiful. Okay, stop looking so aggrieved. I’m doing this for your own good, and for everyone’s good. If you really can’t stand being idle, why don’t you help me fix the train?”

“Haode”.

Youyan became interested.

Repairing trains? That’s interesting.

“What needs to be repaired? How should it be repaired? What do you need me to do? Do you have any blueprints? Are there any fault records? Do you need me to do a full inspection?”

It feels like… I made a wrong decision.

Himeko paused slightly as she watched Yu Yan rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

“You’re so enthusiastic?”

“Of course!” You Yan puffed out his chest matter-of-factly. “Repairing trains! That’s serious business!”

And we can now legitimately make cool and stylish modifications to the train.

Himeko stopped in front of a door in the middle of the train.

“This is the train’s maintenance passage.” She pushed open the door, revealing a narrow corridor with walls covered in a dense network of pipes and wires. “Pam is usually responsible for routine cleaning and simple maintenance, but some deeper issues require more specialized personnel to handle.”

Youyan peeked inside, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

“These pipes…are they for energy transmission? The wiring layout is a bit old, but the overall structure is quite reasonable. What’s that interface over there? Backup power? Or some kind of emergency device?”

“You can tell?”

Yes, you can.

“Have you studied train maintenance?”

“Actually, I’ve only studied watch repair.” You Yan stood up, dusting off his hands. “My knowledge base is a little too broad. But whether it can be replaced and how to do it will require actual testing. By the way, do you have a toolbox?”

Himeko led him forward, stopping in front of a small door at the very end. Pushing open the door, they found a small space with walls covered in various tools, from basic to sophisticated.

Youyan tried it out and found it very easy to use.

“Looking at our train, it looks a bit like a watch.”

“Like a watch?”

…

“Shut up, why is the party carriage so noisy?”

“Passenger Youyan is inspecting and renovating every section of the Starry Sky Train. He told me not to disturb him for the next 5 minutes.”

Shut up and shrug.

Shortly after, the door to the party carriage opened.

“Everyone, please go to the party carriage first. I need to do a major renovation on the observation carriage!”

Youyan looked ashen-faced, mainly because he had shared his strength with Himeko; otherwise, he would have collapsed from exhaustion by now.

He’s much weaker than Himeko right now.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Major renovation?” March 7th looked at him suspiciously. “Are you sure it’s renovation and not demolition?”

“Of course it’s the renovation!” You Yan said matter-of-factly. “I just checked it. The overall structure of the train is very solid, but some details can be optimized. For example, the energy consumption of the lighting system can be reduced by 30%, the seating layout can be more reasonable, and this viewing window—”

He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and reached out to knock on the glass.

“The light transmittance of this coating is not good enough. If you replace it with a new one, the view will be clearer.”

“You even know this?” March 7th’s eyes widened.

“I know a little bit,” You Yan said modestly. “I just did a quick check on it.”

“smoothly?”

“Yes, it was just a side effect.” He pointed to the layer of ash on his face. “It just came at a slightly higher price.”

Everyone was pushed into the party carriage by Youyan.

“Himeko, where…where is this? Where did I end up? Is this still a train?”

March 7th stared in shock at the party carriage that had been super-modified by Yu Yan.

It’s not the kind of nouveau riche style decoration, but rather a design that incorporates more functional areas into a retro style.

“Sister Himeko, how much budget did he use?”

“…I didn’t spend a single credit.”

Himeko paused for a moment, then spoke.

“No flowers? Did he take all of these from the storeroom?”

“No, if I had to put it… what he was like was more like…”

Himeko was conflicted.

“Without using imaginary energy, it creates matter purely using its own ideas, creating something from nothing.”

Walter scratched his head.

Why does this ability sound so familiar?

Oh, I have that ability.
