Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

After fooling Cocolia for so long, Star Core has done nothing.

Not too possible……

“You’re right. Although I have a way to find the star core, the mission would be more meaningful if we completed it together.”

"So... I'm going to see what Cocolia is planning to do."

As he said this, Fang Rui had already figured out what to do. He planned to put some pressure on Cocolia to get her to take action ahead of time.

"...Wait a minute, what did you say earlier?" March 7th's focus was on something else.

Sangbo looked at Fang Rui with a strange gaze, as if to say: Brother, are you kidding me?

Schwarzkopf's electronic eyes were flashing, but he didn't say anything, seemingly inspecting the machine.

"What?" Fang Rui, interrupted, looked at March 7.

"You said...you have a way to find the star core?"

“Yes, there is one.” Fang Rui nodded slightly, “but it’s rather troublesome, and I don’t really want to use it…”

Whether it's divination or astrology, one can determine the location of the celestial core.

But the problem is...

This is a completely new world that he knows nothing about. If he jumps straight to the ending, he will miss a lot of things, especially since the planet is in a delicate state.

If this is not addressed, something terrible will happen.

For example, the crazed Cocolia awakens the creation engine, attempting to create a new world.

"...Does your method of finding star cores have side effects?" March 7 asked, frowning.

"It's normal for shortcuts to have side effects, isn't it?" Fang Rui retorted.

"Swarovski, the plan to summon mechanical soldiers remains unchanged."

He instructed Schwarzlo, "We'll meet in Rocky Hill one day from now."

After saying that, Fang Rui rode his motorcycle away with Sangbo and March 7th.

He was to return to Rocky Town to await "Earthfire's" reply and prepare to head to the Upper District.

Although the meeting time was scheduled for the next day, there was a reason for bringing it forward a little.

Just scouting the area! To make sure it's not too difficult to escape if something unexpected happens tomorrow.

There are two ways to put pressure on Cocolia: one is psychological, and the other is the practical situation.

The current situation is easy to handle; simply send a large army to the border, and the problem will be solved...

Chapter 530 The Expected Changes

As for the mental aspect, it is very troublesome.

Being abandoned by everyone should have put Cocolia under considerable psychological pressure, but the problem is...

A riot will break out in Beloborg, the guardian who rules Beloborg is a traitor, the residents will question the meaning of life, and the government's authority will be at its lowest point.

Considering certain issues, directly exposing Cocolia's actions is not advisable; it's best to control the scope, causing her to fall out of favor with others within a small circle...

For example, Cocolia's confidants, friends, and officers who managed the soldiers.

We need to think carefully about how to do it.

Back in Rocky Town, Oleg brought a reply: "Earthfire" agreed to cooperate and assist Fang Rui and his team in finding the star core and resolving the crisis.

After some time, the group heading to the upper district had assembled and, led by Sambo, proceeded towards the upper district...

Meanwhile, Danheng and Xing, who had been arranged by Cocolia to rest at the Goethe Hotel, also set off for the agreed meeting point, which was the location of the cable car.

Although the cable car station has been sealed off, supplies are being transported between the stations every so often, so it is not completely closed off.

For Dan Heng and Xing, avoiding detection by patrolling soldiers was easy, but considering various factors, it would be more convenient to simply knock out the guards.

Upon seeing the number of people Fang Rui and March 7th had brought, the two felt even more fortunate.

"How can there be so many people?" Dan Heng asked.

“They’re all companions,” Fang Rui explained simply, then moved on to another matter, “There’s news about the Star Core. If nothing unexpected happens, Cocolia knows where the Star Core is…”

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng frowned slightly. "When we met today, Cocolia did have some issues. She seemed to trust us but reject our help."

Hearing this, Seele and the others frowned. Although they didn't say anything, Fang Rui and the others could sense that the others' attitude towards Cocolia was even worse.

“At the time, there were more than just the three of us in the room; I felt there were other people there.”

Xing suddenly spoke, expressing her feelings, which stunned Dan Heng.

“It might not be a person; it could be a star core.” Fang Rui explained, stating his guess, “An unsealed star core possesses consciousness.”

“If it’s a star core, things will be very complicated,” Dan Heng said.

The number of trump cards that Star Core, which has been operating in Belloberg for a long time, possesses is an unknown quantity.

"It's not a big problem; the key issue is how to find the star's core."

As he spoke, Fang Rui explained his plan, which, in short, was to have Cocolia lead the way and to win over the management of Belloberg.

"What are you planning to do?" Dan Heng asked.

"Sangbo, come and give me some intelligence." Fang Rui didn't answer Dan Heng's question, but instead called out another person's name.

“Alright!” Sambo squeezed through the crowd, stating the information he had, “According to my intelligence, Hilva and Cocolia used to be friends, but they fell out over some incident. Also, Hilva is Jepard’s sister. If we can win her over…”

“We have access to a lot of confidential information, as well as channels to contact other management.”

"Bronya is Cocolia's adopted daughter and a close confidante. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the next Guardian."

"If we can win over these three people, Belloberg will be ours for the taking."

"You don't need to say the last part." Pushing Sangbo aside, Fang Rui looked at Dan Heng and Xing, "Have you seen the three mentioned above today?"

“Yes,” Danheng said. “When Xing and I entered the city-state, the person we met was Jepard. He was the one who brought us into the city and helped us meet Cocolia.”

"When I met Cocolia, I happened to run into Bronya, who was arguing with Cocolia about something."

"After the meeting, Xing and I strolled around the city and met Shiluwa in front of a machine shop. We talked for a while afterward."

"What a coincidence!" Fang Rui squinted, suspecting that fate was playing tricks on him.

“Belloburg is only so big, it’s not surprising that we’d run into these kinds of people,” Sambo explained.

The world on earth is vast, but the areas that can be inhabited are few. Apart from military restricted areas, only the main urban area of ​​Belberg is habitable. How many people can a city have?

Especially given the world setting of Arillow-VI, where the population is small, and the three mentioned above are well-known and influential figures in the city, it's not surprising that they could be encountered...

“Okay.” Fang Rui didn’t dwell on the matter further, but brought up another matter, “Swarovski left Belloberg and went ahead to the military restricted area to gather robots, not to occupy the restricted area, but to explore the situation outside the restricted area.”

The area where a star's core is located cannot be peaceful.

"Search for areas with low temperatures and areas with more severe snowstorms."

“Okay!” Schwarzro did not refuse. He could easily collect some robots.

The rest of you follow me. We'll find a base that no one knows about in the upper area first.

“I have a question, where do we find this base?” Seele asked.

The people in the lower district haven't been to the upper district for over a decade; everything there is unfamiliar.

The only person somewhat familiar with the upper district was Sambo, but he…

No matter how you look at it, the word "unreliable" is written all over the other person's face.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared."

First, we need to try to persuade Hilva. If we can persuade her, the base will be the machine house. If we can't persuade her, the base will be the houses outside of Beloborg. Anyway, he has a way to ensure that people can survive in the snowstorm.

"First, we need to get out of here."

As he said this, Fang Rui looked at Xi'er and the others. To be fair, the clothing styles of the upper and lower districts are very distinct. If they don't change their clothes, their identities will be exposed the moment Xi'er and the others appear.

"So... have you prepared clothes for the upper-level area?"

The group looked at each other for a while, and all of them saw confusion in each other's eyes. Without a doubt, none of them had prepared any clothes.

Then, everyone looked at the people who were lying unconscious on the ground.

"Not enough!" one person shook their head.

"Let's go buy some clothes!" Oleg said, glancing at Fang Rui and the others, hoping they could help.

"Xing and I went to the machine shop to persuade Shiluwa, Danheng and March 7 to go buy clothes."

"I will hypnotize the soldiers guarding the entrance so they will ignore you."

"Okay, let's get started!"

After saying that, Fang Rui grabbed Xing and sprinted for 100 meters.

The rest of the group: "…………" What's with your excitement?!

Upon reaching the entrance, Fang Rui cast two illusion spells to confuse the guards, and then, under Xing's command, proceeded towards the mechanical house.

Belleburg was quiet at night, with few people on the streets, and the low temperature made it feel a little chilly.

The lights were still on in the mechanical room, and Hiluva was looking at the sheet music, searching for things that could be modified.

As she was deep in thought, the door was suddenly pushed open, and two people rushed in one after the other.

“Star?” Hiluva looked up and saw a familiar face and a stranger.

"He... is the companion you were talking about?"

When talking to Hiluva, Xing mentioned that she was traveling with three companions.

"Hello, Shiluwa, I'm Fang Rui."

As he said this, Fang Rui took out the projection equipment provided by Schwarzlo, "I have something I'd like you to take a look at."

Get straight to the point without any hesitation; dragging things out will only lead to problems.

The video they got from Schwarz started playing, and Xing watched it along with it.

Fang Rui looked around at the furnishings of the mechanical house. The mechanical products inside looked quite old, and Fang Rui wanted to buy a few to collect.
