Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

The Star Core, however, is in Fang Rui's hands.

With just a mere star core captured by Fang Rui, it naturally couldn't cause any trouble.

Seeing the complicated expressions on Bronya's and the others' faces, Fang Rui said nothing, but instead conceived of a machine to eliminate the ice and snow.

In fact, the heaters in Beloberg could be used to clear the ice and snow, but the Earth's core is limited, and the planet is vast, so the heaters cannot be used indefinitely...

Therefore, Fang Rui decided to help.

He doesn't need to provide any technology; just give Bronya a universal version of a communicator, let her use credits to buy some items in Beloborg, and finally tell Bronya the website address of 'Interstellar Peace Corporation'.

Although there are many commercial companies in the interstellar world, compared to other companies, the products of Interstellar Peace Company are more trustworthy in terms of quality, and there is no risk of buying counterfeit goods.

Most importantly, there's no need to worry about encountering criminal elements. Interstellar Peace Company belongs to the preservation faction, and the company has a wide range of operations, even reaching remote planets.

This is very suitable for the current Ariello-VI.

On the way back to Belleburg, Fang Rui had already taught Bronya how to use the communicator and told her about several shopping apps and websites...

Bronya was amazed when she saw the items on the shopping website; they were beyond her imagination.

On either side of her were Jepard and Shiluva, whose focuses differed somewhat.

"Winter clothing and military rations that can be stored for a long time."

"Heaters, electrical energy, solar energy, imaginary energy..."

'Heater, energy...' Bronya pondered, then looked at the credits required for the goods and her personal account balance, and fell silent.

"You can open an online store and sell local specialties and antiques, and you can make some money."

Fang Rui offered advice, "As for how to open a shop, you can search online..."

“Okay.” Bronya nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and then continued browsing the products.

Regular supplies such as rice, flour, and cooking oil are also available on shopping websites. After all, in areas like space stations, spaceships, and starships where no food is grown, daily necessities need to be purchased.

“It’s very cheap, but the minimum purchase amount is a bit high,” Bronya said.

"Try other stores; different stores have different minimum purchase requirements."

As he spoke, Fang Rui glanced at the shop's name and saw its business scope: supplying space stations and starships.

You have a good eye for finding things...

To be fair, the population of Yalilo-VI is indeed rather small.

It probably doesn't have as many personnel as the Black Tower space station.

After mentally ranting for a while, Fang Rui and Bronya discussed it and decided to use credits to buy some things in Belloborg, such as energy ore—Earth Essence, robots with local characteristics, and antique machinery with a sense of history...

Bronya is a smart person and can see that Fang Rui is offering help, but how precious can something so ordinary be?

Therefore, he refused Fang Rui's offer of money and only accepted a small amount.

Fang Rui and others: "…………" Having principles is a good thing, but you have to learn to be flexible.

Taking advantage of the situation now is something you can make up for later; there's no need to be so serious about it.

Thinking this, Fang Rui looked at Jepard. This man was a soldier, and even more stubborn. He'd choose another…

Hiluva, a former scholar and now a musician and owner of a mechanical shop, possessed slightly higher emotional intelligence than the other two. Understanding Fang Rui's gaze, she said:

"Fang Rui, can you lend me some credit points? I'll pay you back in installments later."

Upon hearing this, Jepard and Bronya's expressions changed. Shiluwa's words inspired them, and after a moment of hesitation, they asked Fang Rui for money.

To be fair, Fang Rui didn't have any money, but...

"Estella, lend me some money!"

Back at the Black Tower space station, he and Estelle had become quite familiar with each other, so borrowing some money from her wouldn't be a problem, and the beautiful and wealthy Estelle wouldn't pressure him to pay it back.

"Okay, is ten million enough?" As he said that, ten million credits were credited to his account.

Fang Rui: "…………" It's not a question of whether it's enough or not, it's that you're really rich!

With money in his pocket, Fang Rui felt confident and turned to look at Xiluwa and the others, "How much do you want to borrow? No interest, no repayment deadline."

“One million.” Bronya’s gaze fell on some technology products on the shopping website. Technology products are generally expensive, and some technologies are considered antiques in the interstellar era, making them even more expensive.

As for why antique technology items are sold, one reason is their high applicability, and another is that some people collect them.

“No problem.” Fang Rui didn’t say anything and immediately transferred the money.

"Regarding repayment, no credit points are needed; a special robot can be used to settle the debt."

"After all, once you start clearing the ice and snow, you're bound to find something in it."

Speaking of which, besides robots, the antimatter legion was also buried under the ice and snow.

Will it recover after thawing?

After thinking for a moment, Fang Rui didn't dwell on the matter. Given Bronya and the others' efficiency, even if they cleared the ice and snow, the process wouldn't be very efficient...

Therefore, even if soldiers from the antimatter legion were to emerge, there wouldn't be many.

Bronya and her group could handle just a few soldiers.

“A robot? I will do my best to find one.” Bronya nodded slightly, keeping the matter in mind.

"Hmm." Fang Rui didn't continue the conversation. After returning to Belloborg, Bronya and the others handled the follow-up matters, while Fang Rui and the others went shopping.

Bronya will pay for the shopping; it's one way to repay the money.

As for Seele and the others, they went to Rocky Town to tell the others that the lockdown had been lifted and they could go to the surface.

"We said we were going shopping, but there aren't many shops in Belleburg. Besides, we already went shopping there a few days ago."

March 7th said this, looking at the surrounding scenery, without saying anything else.

"Have you chosen gifts for Himeko and Welt?" Fang Rui asked.

"Hmm~" March 7th fell silent, it seemed there was no such thing.

“I saw a coffee shop up ahead, I’ll get one for Himeko, she’ll probably be happy,” Dan Heng said.

"Uh, I don't think this is a good idea." March Seven looked a little scared. Although Himeko liked coffee, the coffee she made tasted terrible.

"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Fang Rui tilted his head and pondered for a moment before offering a suggestion, "How about giving Himeko an automatic coffee-making machine?"

“Good idea.” March 7th immediately agreed.

“I have no objection,” Dan Heng replied immediately.

Xing hadn't suffered yet and didn't quite understand why her two companions were so agitated.

"Then..." Seeing their expressions, Fang Rui nodded slightly and said, "Himeko's gift is settled, next up is Welt's gift..."

“Uncle Yang doesn’t seem to have said anything about what he particularly likes.” After thinking for a moment, March 7th slowly shook his head.

“I’ve seen Mr. Walter researching technological products. Why don’t we give him a robot?” Dan Heng suggested.

“I agree.” Walter was once the Lawbringer of “Reason”, and frequently created various weapons and technological products. If he didn’t have the slightest interest, he wouldn’t have been able to persist for so long.

"Then... what about Pam?" Fang Rui continued to ask.

"Food?" Xing asked.

“I think it’s great,” March 7th agreed.

“I have no objection,” Danheng agreed.

So the group set off, wandering around the city, occasionally bumping into Natasha and others who were also strolling around.

The residents of Panyan Town had not seen the light of day for a long time. Now that the lockdown has been lifted, they could not contain their longing and rushed to the ground to see the scenery.

Meanwhile, the residents on the ground, upon hearing the news, gathered at the entrance and exit of the cable car station, searching for their relatives.

When the upper and lower districts were sealed off, Cocolia didn't say anything beforehand, and no one expected the lockdown to last so long. As a result, some long-separated relatives are quite emotional, while others who will never see each other again are weeping bitterly.

"Cocolia, you're such a villain!"

Seeing this, March 7th said this.

Danheng didn't offer any opinion, but simply watched the scene in the distance quietly.

Xing raised his hand and placed it on his chest. Part of the sadness of these people came from Xing's core.

Why exactly are stellar cores being deployed across interstellar space?

Fang Rui's gaze fell upon the distant castle. Given the current situation in Beloberg, one could only imagine how much overtime Bronya would have to work in the future, sorting out the internal conflicts within the city, earning money to buy necessities, and searching for suitable land to develop...

Speaking of which, can the act of clearing snow and ice and opening up land be considered "development"?

It should be... no.

The group continued shopping, and about an hour later, they returned to the machine house to rest. While waiting for Hilva to return, they studied the furnishings inside the machine house.

There's nothing particularly advanced about it, but even ordinary machinery has a certain beauty.

Looking at the items in the store, Fang Rui had the idea of ​​buying a few mechanical products, not for any other reason than to satisfy his desire to collect them.

"Hey! What are you all doing here?!" The moment Hiluva pushed open the door, she was surprised to see a bunch of people wandering around the room.

"I came to visit you," Fang Rui said. "What are you doing?"

“Help Bronya with miscellaneous tasks.” Hilva sighed. “Cocolia left behind a lot of trouble. There are people to handle the routine matters, but Cocolia did a lot of wrong things in order to cover up the existence of the Star Core and to carry out his plan.”

"For example, some scholars were transferred or expelled, and now I need to invite them back one by one..."

"Just hearing about it sounds like a hassle," March 7 said with pity.

She has been traveling with the Star Train for some time and has met many intelligent people. Some of these intelligent people have rather eccentric personalities, and if you offend them, they will probably hold a grudge for a long time.

It's not to say that all the expelled scholars and technicians had the same personality, but there must have been one or two of them!

Just those one or two are enough to cause a lot of trouble.

"Actually, it's alright. I was also one of the scholars who were expelled. Considering that we were all suffering together, no one will deliberately make things difficult for me."

As Hiluva said, Beloborg is such a small place that even if you don't see each other all the time, it's still quite easy to run into someone, and a story can easily spread throughout Beloborg.

Upon hearing this, March 7th and the others did not say anything further.

"By the way, is the Starry Sky Train still hiring?" With one question settled, Hiluva turned to ask another.

"If you want to get on the bus, that's no problem. Just tell Pam or Himeko."
