Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Star Core..." Hilva frowned. She had indeed come across information related to star cores back then, and now seeing the video...

"...Do you know where it is?" Fang Rui looked at a kettle and asked reflexively when he heard Xiluwa's voice.

“I know.” Hilva took a deep breath. “If the ice and snow really came from the star core, then it does need to be sealed away.”

"You...don't doubt that the video I gave you is fake?" Fang Rui's lips curled up as he looked at Xiluwa with great interest.

"I have no doubt about it. I already knew there was a problem with the star core when I was doing my research back then."

Hiluva's expression remained calm. "It was just that someone stopped us, and the research couldn't continue..."

"Is it Cocolia?" Fang Rui asked back.

“Yes.” Hilva paused for a moment before saying, “I want to know about Cocolia. You have video footage, but instead of going to Cocolia, you came to me. This indirectly proves that there is something wrong with Cocolia.”

“That’s right, Cocolia is problematic. She’s no longer…human.”

Fang Rui said, "Or rather, she has given up on being a human being and joined the Star Core's camp, preparing to destroy the world."

"Of course, the above is just my speculation, and I cannot prove it at this time."

The final twist almost left Hiluva breathless.

"Such important information, and you're revealing it last?!" Hiluva gritted her teeth.

If conditions allowed, she would have picked up her instrument and smashed it directly on Fang Rui's head.

“What I said is very likely, but it lacks verification.” Fang Rui’s expression remained calm, as if he hadn’t heard the anger in Shiluwa’s tone. He said calmly, “And the reason I came to you is to verify my guess.”

"As for speculation, we'll just go directly to the location of the star core and see what Cocolia will do."

"You can tell her stance from her reaction."

"I understand." Hiluva was silent for a moment, her expression hard to decipher, as if several emotions were mixed together.

"I will tell you the location of the star's core."

"But there are some obstacles on the way to the star core. How do you plan to overcome them?"

As Hiluva spoke, her tone was somewhat tense, worried that Fang Rui and the others might use some unwise measures.

"Don't worry, we are good people and won't cause any trouble."

As he said this, Fang Rui briefly explained his opportunity, "Of course, it's about getting them involved, and the right to know... can be given to some people."

A simple opportunity could allow certain people to follow them to the location of the star core.

"Hmm, it's good that you have a plan." Hiluva nodded slightly and asked about another matter, "So when do you plan to execute the plan?"

“No rush, we need to prepare for a while…” Fang Rui said, then told Xiluwa about another purpose, “I’ve brought some people from the lower district to the upper district, and I need you to take care of them for a few days. Just provide them with three meals a day and tell them some things to be careful about.”

"What is the purpose?" Hiluva asked.

"Purpose? It's simple, it's intelligence gathering!"

There may not be any tangible gains, but there will be some gains in the subsequent plans.

"The matter is settled. We'll meet again in three days."

"Someone will be here shortly regarding the matter I asked you to handle."

After saying that, Fang Rui and Xing left and headed to the accommodation arranged by Cocolia—the Goethe Hotel.

Both the upper and lower sections have Goethe Hotels, but the differences are quite obvious.

One was quite luxurious, like a five-star hotel, while the other was ordinary, like a typical hotel in a remote town.

After some time, Danheng and March 7th returned to their room at the Goethe Hotel. After the group reunited and had a brief chat, they each went back to their rooms to rest.

Back in his room, Fang Rui took out his communicator, logged into the group chat, and saw what the others were saying.

To be fair, the communication devices in the world today are quite powerful; they can still communicate even when separated by several planets or a whole star system.

Therefore, he was still able to chat with some people on the space station in Arillo-VI.

After looking at it for a while, Fang Rui switched interfaces and started browsing shopping websites and other websites.

"Yes, there are a lot of interesting tech products..."

Meanwhile, the others had arrived at Hiluva's machine house and were temporarily staying there under her arrangement.

The next day, early morning.

A cacophony of noise drifted in from outside the glass window. Fang Rui opened his eyes, listened for a moment, and then muttered:

"I haven't even made a move yet, and someone's already getting impatient. What an impatient personality..."

"Fang Rui!" The door was pushed open, and Dan Heng and the others rushed in.

"Yes, let's run! Head to the lower level..." Fang Rui said to Dan Heng and the others, "We'll proceed after three days, once all preparations are complete..."

“But…” At the hotel entrance, Fang Rui looked at the person leading the guard and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, “As a price, take someone with you!”

Upon hearing this, Danheng, Xing, and Sanyueqi all understood who he was referring to.

“If we can persuade her, it will indeed benefit our plans.” Dan Heng did not reject Fang Rui’s suggestion.

"Then... let's move out!"

After a brief conversation, they argued with the guards for a while, explaining that they were innocent and that there was a misunderstanding.

Its effect, of course, is nonexistent.

Then came the battle...

Dan Heng easily defeated the ordinary soldiers, Fang Rui knocked Bronya unconscious with a punch, and then a group of people moved towards the cable car station.

Beside them, Seele and the others who had come to the upper district last night stared blankly, wondering what was going on!

“Seele, go help,” Oleg said. A guide was needed to navigate the lower levels.

Chapter 531 A Plan for Steady Progress

Seeing Seele's actions, Fang Rui did not hesitate at all. He cooperated with her to knock out all the Silver Mane Iron Guards blocking their way, and then fled towards the cable car station.

During their hasty escape, Fang Rui and the others rushed into the crowd and shoved a communicator into Shiluwa's hand.

After that, they went straight ahead, ignoring the screams of the Silvermane Iron Guards and passersby, heading directly towards the cable car station.

We charged straight ahead along the sloping road, with the wind at our backs, until we reached Panyan Town.

"A little...tired!" March 7th said, holding his back. Running for so long was exhausting.

"Swarovski's operation takes a little time; it's rest time before he sends a message."

Fang Rui said this, ignoring the reactions of others, and walked straight ahead.

The Silvermane Iron Guards came to arrest him in the early morning, which meant he didn't even have the chance or time to enjoy breakfast at the Goethe Hotel.

Although Fang Rui's current strength means he doesn't need to eat, he eats three meals a day quite regularly if conditions allow.

For example, at this moment, Fang Rui's goal is to find a restaurant or a kitchen to solve the breakfast problem.

Xing and Danheng looked at each other for a moment, then chose to follow Fang Rui.

On March 7th, she didn't travel with the three of them. Since it was free time, she chose to explore Panyan Town. The last time she came to Panyan Town, she was in a hurry and didn't have time to take a good look at it.

"Hey! What do we do with this guy?!"

Watching the group leave, Seele glanced at Bronya, who had fainted on the ground, and asked in a somewhat bewildered manner.

"It's up to you. Just make sure she doesn't escape back to the upper district." Fang Rui's voice came from afar. "By the way, tell her the intelligence we have and see how she reacts."

Natasha's clinic has a kitchen, and a rather nice one at that, fully equipped with all kinds of cooking utensils, although some of them have not been used for a long time.

Fang Rui took out vegetables and meat from the storage space and began cooking.

Danheng offered some simple assistance. Xing actually wanted to help, but Fang Rui said there was no need for all three of them to squeeze into the kitchen, and told her to wash the dishes...

The food emitted a rich aroma during cooking, drawing curious glances and causing passersby in the room, as well as those near the hospital, to swallow their saliva.

"Hello, could you make a little more food?" Natasha suddenly came into the kitchen and asked Fang Rui.

“Okay.” Fang Rui did not refuse.

“I’ll help.” Natasha didn’t just stand by and watch.

Some time later, Natasha was cooking porridge in the kitchen, while Fang Rui and the others were having breakfast in the square outside the hospital.

The children and patients were in the hospital, waiting for Natasha to cook porridge.

As for the others, although they also really wanted to eat it, they weren't as shameless.

While enjoying breakfast, Fang Rui quietly explained the subsequent plans, "Once Schwarz is ready, there's no need for us to delay any longer. Let's head straight for the location of the star core..."

"But there are a few things to be careful about. We need to lure a few people to come with us. With Hilva and Jepard, the two of them are strong enough to protect themselves, and Jepard is a high-ranking member of the Silvermane Iron Guard, so there are some things he is qualified to know."

"Besides, given the low strength of ordinary soldiers, Schwarzrod's robot forces would prevent the Silvermane Iron Guards from leaving the front lines, so we have no additional support."

"Sealing the star core and defeating the enemy, we are the main force."

"Yes, I know." Dan Heng said calmly. He had been traveling between stars for some time and had dealt with star cores several times.

Whether as the main sealer of the star core or as an auxiliary sealer, he is experienced.

"Hmm." Xing remained silent, responding as a reply to Fang Rui's words.

"Is it delicious?" Seeing Xing enjoying her meal, Fang Rui stopped talking about business and asked with great curiosity.

He himself is very aware of his culinary skills; in the world of MasterChef, he could be awarded the title of Special Grade Chef, but...

Do different worlds not have differences in taste when it comes to food? I think the ingredients are different.

"It's delicious!" Xing looked up, her eyes sparkling. "Can you take care of all the meals from now on?!"

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng's expression turned slightly serious. After tasting Fang Rui's cooking, he had a thought: it would be great if Fang Rui could be the chef of the Starry Sky Train!

Now, upon hearing Xing's suggestion, my feelings have grown even stronger.

“No, cooking is tiring,” Fang Rui said. He was a rather lazy person, so how could he possibly cook on time every day? “Besides, the train’s kitchen is Pam’s territory. He’ll be angry if I take over Pam’s territory.”

"How dare you bully Pam?"

Danheng: "…………" To be honest, if you cook some rice for Pam, maybe he'll give it to you~

Xing: "…………" I'm sorry, but we can discuss it.
