Clara was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately stopped crying and started laughing.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Xing He immediately turned around and sprinted toward Schwarz. Taking advantage of the iron golem's slow movement, he quickly hoisted Schwarz, who was trapped under the rubble, onto his shoulder and ran with it all the way out of the mansion.

March 7th looked at Xing He with Schwarz as he left the mansion in surprise, and couldn't help but mutter to his two friends.

"Why did Xing He take Schwarz away? Wouldn't it have been better if he had just held off the iron golem?"

"do not know."

After losing its target, the iron golem stood there for a while, then slowly walked back to March 7 and Dan Heng and stood still, becoming quiet again.

After waiting for a short while, Xing He returned with Schwarz.

This time, the iron golem did not attack it.

"Xing He, what are you doing running away with Schwarz?" March 7 asked, puzzled.

"The aggro will be released once you are a certain distance away from the iron golem."

Xing He explained simply that he originally had many ways to prevent the iron golem from attacking Schwarz.

But those are only temporary. For example, having Schwarzschild stand on high ground or surrounding the iron golems. You can't do that forever, can you?

Therefore, Xing He simply let Schwarz escape the hatred of the Iron Golem.

After Xing He put Schwarz down, Clara, who was holding Schwarz's right arm, immediately rushed over.

"Mr. Schwarz! Are you alright?"

Schwarzkopf's one eye flickered, and he raised his left arm and gently pressed it against Clara's head.

"Clara, I'm a machine. One arm means nothing to me. As for you..."

Schwarz turned to look at Xing He and the others, his gaze lingering on Xing He for a long time.

Xing He waited for a while, but seeing that Schwarz still didn't speak, he couldn't help but ask, "What? Even in this situation, you still don't want to tell us about the [Star Core]? Schwarz, the [Star Core] is the culprit that caused the disaster on this planet. Would it be harmful to you to reveal its information?"

After a moment of silence, Schwarzlo finally spoke.

"Retrieving the relevant regulations for [Star Core] from the database. Retrieval complete. Outsiders, I must remind you that the contents of this matter may be puzzling to you. Moreover, according to calculations, your success rate is 0%. Time is running out in this world, and your next actions may accelerate that time."

Xing He retorted, "Giving up means certain defeat; trying gives you a 50% chance."

"Impossible. No matter what variables I add, your success rate has never changed."

Xing He glanced speechlessly at the metal lump: "There are only two possible outcomes to our attempt: success or failure. Tell me, is it 50% or not?"

Schwarzlo remained silent for a moment, then stood up.

"Whether or not you can view the relevant regulations during the transfer of database permissions is up to you."

Chapter 42: Trying means there's a 50% chance; giving up means certain defeat.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Seele urged impatiently, "Hurry up."

Schwarz's single eye immediately projected a virtual image showing a woman talking to an elderly man dressed as a researcher.

[The results of years of research are before you, Guardian; the evidence is irrefutable—that so-called [Star Core] is the root of all disaster.]

[The public will find this outcome hard to accept, Doctor. If they knew that it was the great Alisa Rand who activated this thing, causing the world to be covered in a cold wave...]

[But this is the truth, sir. This report before you is the culmination of the hard work of Berlöberg's finest scholars; you must trust its authority.]

[I have never questioned you, Doctor; on the contrary, I have complete faith in your conclusions. But I will not release this report unless we can find a way to destroy the star's core.]

[I understand, sir.]

"Video data playback has ended."

As Schwarz turned off the projector, everyone present fell silent.

Xing He couldn't help but ask, "What does 'Great Guardian' mean here?"

Schwarz explained from the side, "The High Guardian is the leader of Beloberg, and both the Lower and Upper Districts belong to Beloberg."

Enraged, Seele gritted her teeth and slammed her scythe into the ground.

"It was actually those guys in the upper zone who activated the star core, causing this world to be hit by a cold wave and trapping us in the lower zone! They took away the right of those orphans in the lower zone to bask in the sunlight!"

March 7th's expression wasn't very good either. She sighed softly and turned to look at Dan Heng and Xing He: "I didn't expect it to be the Great Guardian who activated the star core. However, judging from the later content, they seem to be thinking of destroying the star core as well?"

"obviously."

Dan Heng looked up at the dimly lit top floor: "The cold wave from Yalilo is still ongoing; they've failed."

Xing He frowned and asked, "So, what do we say now? Go to that so-called upper district and talk to the Great Guardian?"

Dan Heng nodded: "Yes, obviously only the Great Guardian knows where the Star Core is hidden, but before that..."

Danheng handed his phone to Schwarz: "Please transfer these video files to my phone."

Schwarz nodded. "Understood."

While Schwarz was transferring data, Xing He and the other three gathered together to discuss their next move.

Seele spoke first: "You're going to the upper district, right? I want to go with you!"

March 7th was somewhat surprised: "But the next move might be very dangerous, Seele."

Seele said firmly, "I want to end the cold wave completely and let everyone in the lower zones return to the blue sky."

Xing He did not refuse Xi'er's request to come along, but reminded her, "I have no objection to you coming along, but I have to remind you that we are very likely to be at odds with the entire Upper District."

"what?"

Before Seele could even react, March 7th covered her mouth in astonishment.

"Why do you say that, Xing He? We're going to rescue Belloberg, why are they hostile to us?"

“It’s obvious.” Dan Heng immediately understood Xing He’s meaning and explained to the two women, “Before we figure out how to destroy the star core, if the citizens of Beloborg find out that the cold wave was caused by the Great Guardian activating the star core, it will undoubtedly disrupt the current situation and could very well trigger a riot.”

"But we didn't intend to tell the citizens the truth directly, did we?"

Xing He glanced helplessly at the naive March 7: "We are us, they are them, and they can't be sure we won't tell. So, to be on the safe side, if it were me, I would definitely choose to strike first."

March 7th covered his head, swaying and pouting, and said, "I'm getting a little dizzy from what you've said. I'll just clear my head and follow your lead. You guys decide!"

Seele asked with some difficulty, "Then what do we do? Should we storm into Krypton and confront the current High Warden? Or should we simply kidnap the High Warden and force her to lead us to find the Star Core?"

Although Xing He felt that Xi'er's two methods had a low success rate, they suited his taste perfectly.

"Yes, add it to the backup plan!"

Dan Heng glanced at the three of them speechlessly, sighed inwardly, and felt that the heavy burden had finally fallen on his shoulders.

"First, let's take Schwarz's data file and try to contact the higher-ups at Crippleburg. The High Wardens are last, and the researchers are also our targets."

"Understood."×3

After briefly discussing and coming up with a rough plan, Danheng asked Schwarz for the phone with the data already transferred.

"Big brothers, are you leaving?"

Clara, who was repairing Schwarz's arm, saw that Dan Heng had asked for her phone back, and immediately stood up and walked over to Xing He and the others.

Xing He nodded: "Yeah, busy saving the world."

Clara raised her head to meet Xing He's eyes: "Although Clara is weak and can't help you much, please keep up the good work, big brothers!"

Xing He grinned and placed his hand on her head.

"Don't panic, big brother used to be very strong. He killed the Ender Dragon with just his fists! Although he kept dying."

"That's good. Big brothers, please be careful!"

Before leaving, Xing He asked Clara for a rope, tied it to the iron golem, and then dragged it away.

Because the iron golems moved slowly, it took the four of them twice as long to get back to town.

But before they could return to the hotel to rest, a group of miners who had been waiting outside the town surrounded them.

"Our benefactor! We've brought emeralds and diamonds! Can we exchange them for that magical furnace?"

As soon as Xing He heard that business was coming his way, he immediately stopped feeling tired.

"Of course, you can have as many as you want!"

"Great!"

Although he was still a little tired on March 7th, seeing the miners crowding around Xing He, he forced his drooping eyelids to help maintain order.

"Danheng, Xier, you two go and rest first. We'll go back after we've finished this."

Dan Heng initially wanted to stay and help, but after careful consideration, he realized that it would be best for someone in the team to get enough rest in order to ensure the success of tomorrow's operation, so he nodded in agreement.

Seele obediently went back to rest.

"Here, this is your furnace."

After Xing He handed a furnace to a miner, he took an emerald from him.

[Achievement unlocked: Deal sold!]

[Achievement Points Earned: 1]

Wow! This is actually considered an achievement!

Xing He was overjoyed. Originally, this achievement in Minecraft required trading with villagers, but he didn't expect that these miners would also count.

Simply a surprise.

Half an hour later, Xing He successfully traded 15 emeralds and 13 diamonds.

I have enough achievement points to buy another mod.

Exquisite backpacks, realistic texture packs, and more.

After working so hard for so long, it's time to spend some money!
