"?"

Upon hearing this, March 7 tilted its head, a big question mark appearing in its eyes.

"No, while it's true that I will take care of you, there's something wrong with what you're saying... And what's wrong with you? You're willing to leave Lord Su Mo for 50,000 credits?"

In the end, her eyes were filled with a desire to complain.

Xing lowered his head with a sorrowful expression.

"To be honest, of course I don't want to. That's my most beloved father!"

Seeing her so sad, March 7th panicked for a moment.

Could it be that Xing's previous abstract behavior was all an act, a deliberate act to cover up her sadness?

Damn it!

Feeling guilty, the naive Xiao Sanyue immediately began to make amends.

"Hey, hey, don't be too sad. Lord Su Mo must have his own too—"

Halfway through her sentence, she saw Xing raise her head with bright eyes and look at Su Mo with a face full of enthusiasm.

"So, Dad! We need to pay more!"

"what?"

The sudden turn of events left March 7th completely dumbfounded.

Faced with Xing's yearning, Su Mo slapped her on the head without hesitation, clearing her eyes completely.

"If you keep causing trouble, I'll confiscate all your property."

With just one sentence, Xing immediately submitted, kneeling obediently before Su Mo, appearing as a gentle and filial daughter.

I have no money, but I have my life!

Seeing her reaction, March 7th hesitated to speak.

Although this child is a good match for me, if such a troublemaker went to another world, wouldn't he probably turn other small worlds upside down?

For the first time in her life, she experienced the same pressure that Danheng had felt back then.

It seems that overly boisterous companions can indeed lead to high blood pressure.

After successfully suppressing the Star Core Essence, Su Mo explained to March 7th.

“Right now, Fanlou and I are under too much scrutiny. Various organizations, led by the Interstellar Peace Company, want to get in touch with us. If we stay with the train crew at this time, it will cause you a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

The importance of members of the Genius Club has been discussed many times, so I won't go into details here.

Even disregarding the villains, there are certainly many neutral and law-abiding factions that want to profit from the wisdom of geniuses.

Despite its renowned reputation, with the fall of the pioneering star god Akevili, Himeko's current status is insufficient to resist the enthusiasm of those top powers.

"So Lord Su Mo was thinking of us all along!"

Upon hearing this, March 7's eyes shone with a strange light.

She had previously wondered if Su Mo intended to use her and then run away, but now she realized that she had clearly misunderstood!

The innocent pink-haired girl suddenly felt a lot of guilt.

"Besides that, there are other reasons as well."

Su Mo added.

“Ruan Mei and I have a collaborative project that requires some preparation. The Black Tower can not only block the detection of other forces, but also allow me to directly contact the Interstellar Peace Company through her channels, which is more convenient for me.”

Actually, the latter reason is the main reason...

However, in March 7's view, the latter reason was actually a high-EQ excuse that Su Mo deliberately put forward. Su Mo's main reason was that he did not want to implicate them.

How gentle Lord Su Mo is!

Thinking this through, March 7th didn't point it out, but asked with a hint of reluctance.

“If Lord Su Mo has made up his mind, I will have Pam bring the Starry Sky Train to come back and visit you often.”

As long as the coordinates are recorded, the Star Train can perform dimensional jumps at any time on routes it has already traveled, and it won't take long to return to the space station.

"Yes, yes! I'll come back to see Dad often too!"

Hoshino nodded immediately and clenched her fist.

"I will not let waiting become a regret!"

Hearing her say that, Su Mo almost thought he was some kind of empty-nest old man.

He shook his head helplessly and explained.

"There's no need to deliberately return. You both carry my coordinates, so I can come to you anytime I want to see you."

"Besides, given Ruan Mei's talent, I'll mainly be responsible for assigning tasks, and then I'll do other preparations."

"If you had followed the normal flight path, I might have appeared before you!"

Hearing him say that, the two girls exchanged a glance and nodded with some doubt.

They all subconsciously felt that Su Mo was saying this in order to take the trouble from the outside world upon himself.

After saying goodbye, Su Mo left the room.

Xing shifted her gaze from the direction where Su Mo's figure disappeared, and then noticed that March 7's eyes were still fixed there, as if she was very reluctant to part.

After a slight pause, the gray-haired girl nudged the pink-haired girl's shoulder.

"what?"

March 7th asked in confusion.

"Give me 500,000 credits!"

Xing opened her fair and tender palms and said confidently.

"I don't have that much money...and why should I give it to you?"

March 7th was slightly taken aback, and immediately asked in return.

Even a tycoon like Lord Su Mo only gets 50,000 credits in gold coins. You want 500,000 from a poor, beautiful girl like me? Dream on!

When questioned by March 7th, Xing put his hands on his hips and said smugly.

"Give me 500,000, and I'll support you becoming my stepmother!"

"This isn't expensive... Wait, what's going on?! Why do I have to be your stepmother?!"

After muttering something unconsciously, March 7th immediately realized what was happening and asked a question with some embarrassment and annoyance.

"Because you're lusting after my dad's body?"

Xing tilted her head and casually gave a reason.

"You greedy bastard!"

On March 7th, he tapped her on the forehead in an annoyed tone.

This beautiful young woman, with her invincible youth, has no intention of becoming a stepmother at such a young age!

However, if the target is Su Mo...

Touching the bracelet on her wrist, Xiao Sanyue's palm trembled slightly, and she felt a little uneasy.

158. Toppa, the honey trap, the collaborative project proposed by Su Mo.

In the 2157th Amber Period, since the attack on the Black Tower space station, explosive news has emerged one after another, sweeping across the entire interstellar universe.

The emergence of Genius Sail Tower, the 85th member of the Genius Club, was enough to spark widespread discussion.

Su Mo's decision to decline the invitation from the Genius Club further amplified the news's popularity.

Rather than the addition of another genius, people were clearly more concerned about the unusual events, and Su Mo's fame skyrocketed.

In this context, the fact that the Star Train helped save the Black Tower Space Station was a trivial matter, like a small ripple, and no one except those directly involved would care.

Furthermore, since few people knew about Su Mo's relationship with the train crew, the Starry Sky Train was able to remain perfectly hidden from public opinion.

Even the Interstellar Peace Corporation, which had been trying to establish contact with the two newly emerged geniuses, failed to find the planetary train engine and instead sought to leverage the connections between the Black Tower and the Erudite Society.

"So, I'm in charge of debt collection, so why am I being asked to invite the new geniuses and the mysterious person who refused the genius seat?"

The headquarters of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, Pierpoint.

A young woman with short, neatly cut hair, dressed in a red and black high-class company uniform, complained on the phone.

The slightly tight clothes clung to her round, straight thighs, and her large, fleshy chest, along with her fair skin that seemed ready to burst forth, gave one the urge to tear apart the taut fabric.

The girl looked very young, but she held a high position in the Interstellar Peace Corporation. Generally speaking, she had a high degree of freedom, and no one could restrain her.

However, at this moment, she clearly had a lot of complaints about the task she had been forced to be assigned.

"Befriending newly born geniuses is a win-win situation. As a member of the strategic investment department, Toppa, you should know this."

The voice on the other end of the phone was very calm and unmoved by Toppa's opinion.

"Even if you say that, as someone who's used to collecting debts, I'm not very good at dealing with those important people!"

Topa said helplessly.

She has long since moved beyond the stage of making money for the sake of making money. For her, work is a part of realizing her life's value, so she doesn't care about her own gains or losses.

That's why she was so cautious about the task at hand.

As a member of the company, she was well aware of the value of genius; on the contrary, she had collected relevant information and understood all too well the importance of geniuses.

For Interstellar Peace Corporation, the value of geniuses lies not in their envoy-level combat power, but in the fact that their inventions can accumulate the foundation of civilization.

A commander-level combatant can only be used by himself; once he dies, the power is gone.

The accumulated technological civilization can be used by the entire interstellar society. After generations of accumulation, the value it brings out far exceeds that of the envoy himself.

Even now, Toppa is a senior executive in the Strategic Investment Department and one of the "Stoneheart Ten" who are second only to the Guardian Officer. He is a high-level person in the entire company.
