Absolutely legitimate Star Iron, I've awakened the Underworld System?

　Bai Qiong glanced at Topa and continued, "That's because Miss Topa didn't tell you that only 60% of the planets can actually be saved by the company."

　"Sixty percent? That's really a bit unreliable. I wouldn't agree to that either..."

　March 7th nodded thoughtfully.

　"Mr. Bai Qiong, since you know so much about our strategic investment department, why don't you continue to tell Miss March 7 that the overall success rate of the projects I've handled is over 80%? That's already a very high probability, isn't it?"

　As he said this, a hint of pride flashed in Toppa's eyes.

　In comparison, she is indeed quite capable.

　Bai Qiong frowned. "That's true, but there's also a 20% failure rate. Using the future of an entire planet as a bargaining chip is a bit too much for their descendants, isn't it?"

　"Hmph! You guys really underestimate the company's technology!"

　Toppa turned his head away and snorted softly, "If we let Beloberg rebuild on its own, its chances of recovery are less than 60%. I believe the Great Guardian is a woman of great wisdom; she will surely understand the implications."

　After a moment of contemplation, Bai Qiong said, "Then you're wrong. She... will definitely not agree."

　In the original storyline, when Bronya learned from Himeko that there was a chance of failure, she no longer hesitated.

　She's the kind of person who likes to take control of her own destiny. But when she went from receiving aid to investing in venture capital, the nature of the investment changed completely.

　This is the fundamental reason why Bronya was unwilling to accept Topa's proposal.

　"What? Judging from Mr. Bai Qiong's words, are you here to convey the Great Guardian's thoughts? Does the Nameless Guest really want to get involved in this matter?"

　At this point, Topa's expression hardened, and she exuded an imposing aura. A sudden gust of wind arose, causing the ribbons of her red and white uniform to flutter wildly...

　"I'm kindly reminding you not to meddle in other people's business, because no matter what obstacles I encounter, I will definitely complete the Yalilo-VI project and I will never back down!"

　She looked at Bai Qiong and San Yueqi with a meaningful gaze, and continued with a cold smile: "So, I suggest that you two don't put too much effort into this matter, or you might get yourself into trouble here!"

　"Why don't you just enjoy the festive atmosphere and then sheepishly return to your pioneering journey? What do you think?"

　Toppa's deep gaze sent chills down Bai Qiong's spine.

　not right...

　Something is wrong!

　According to the original plot, although she had a tough attitude, she didn't seem like she was going to fight to the death right from the start.

　Was it my words that provoked her, or...?

　To be honest, Bai Qiong really doesn't dare to mess with Topa right now.

　In the original storyline, Toppa had already applied to the company for a special attack on the Star Train. If Bronya hadn't appeared in time, Berlberg's revival plan would probably have had to be delayed for another hundred years.

　Imagine if the two sides actually started fighting, and Toppa raised the stone and shouted: "All for the Amber King..."

　Let alone March 7th and White Dome, even the entire Belberg combined couldn't withstand it, right?

　Perhaps one uncle with cold legs is an exception...

Chapter Eleven: Unreal Beauty

　PS: Some readers raised the question, "Why did the company still pursue Belloberg for repayment when it knew he couldn't pay?" We have added some supplementary information to address this question.

　Let me elaborate on my understanding: the company is a group that doesn't care about human relationships, only about interests. They are capable of exploiting and oppressing their employees, proposing unreasonable solutions to creditors, and driving people to their deaths.

　The original storyline clearly states that Toppa chose to take on this project voluntarily, and that the punishment would have been much more severe if he hadn't been treated leniently by his superiors.

Is this the solution you mentioned in Chapter Twelve?

　Toppa suppressed the fragility he had previously displayed and looked directly at the two of them with a calm gaze.

　"So, you two, after hearing my story, have you made up your minds? Which side do you intend to stand on?"

　Her tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness: "I'll say it again, whether for my sake or for Belloberg's, you'd better not interfere."

　March 7 blinked her big, bright eyes at Bai Qiong, her voice tinged with confusion and unease, "Bai Qiong, what should we do now? I want to help Miss Bronya, but I don't want to put Miss Topa in a difficult position..."

　"I don't know either. There aren't that many perfect solutions in the world..."

　Bai Qiong shrugged, his tone tinged with helplessness.

　His eyes, which had been so confident, were now filled with confusion.

　“However, Miss Topa is right about one thing: if we intervene rashly, we might make things worse. Little March, let me think about it…”

　"okay……"

　March obediently stepped aside, not wanting to disturb Bai Qiong.

　Bai Qiong crossed his arms, his brows furrowed.

　Just before, Bai Qiong believed that no one in this world understood the development of the Starry Sky Railway's storyline better than herself...

　Even if Elio comes, it won't work. If Mr. Reck's assistant director—that is, the frog—tryes to mess with Bai Qiong, it would be as absurd as Ren not howling about committing suicide or Lao Yang trying to control Huang Quan with a simulated black hole!

　If you simply follow the methods outlined in the original storyline, all problems will be easily resolved.

　At least a few hours ago, Bai Qiong was certain of this.

　However, now, everything seems to be developing in a strange direction after the emergence of its own system...

　Oh right, the system...?!

　Bai Qiong had many doubts before, but now he just wanted to know for sure whether the system had tampered with his Starry Sky Railway career...

　"Hey! System, speak up! You must have heard my doubts, right? Aren't you going to explain?"

　The semi-transparent panel reappeared in front of Bai Qiong, but this time, it only contained a string of ellipses.

　【…】

　After a delay of several seconds, the system finally gave a definite response.

　[I am merely a system. All my actions are manifestations of the host's deepest thoughts. Even if the timeline changes, it may be due to the host's own actions.]

　You asked me why these changes occurred; I'm sorry, I cannot answer that question.

　Because I have no idea what you're thinking, host...

　"You fart!"

　Bai Qiong gritted his teeth in anger at the system's words, "I have been following the original plot line step by step, how could these messy things be my true thoughts?"

　Although he played Star Trek primarily for the female characters and enjoys reading doujinshi, he never intended to create a Star Trek universe...

　At least not after I transmigrated here!

　Sorry, I'm just a system and I can't answer your question. However, I can offer you a solution to your current predicament.

　"What do you mean? Do you have any solutions?"

　Bai Qiong asked with a hint of doubt.

　Please wait, the system is scanning!

　[Scan successful! 】

　[A new target has been added: Topa]

　Corruption Value: 0%

　[New Quest: Get Toppa's Corruption Level to 50%]

　[Task Reward: A large sum of money]

　[A large sum of money: This money will be deposited directly into your Interstellar Peace Bank account and can only be used to repay Belloberg's debts.]

　……

　"What kind of crazy mission is this? And the reward can only be used to help others pay off their debts. Do you think I'm some kind of scoundrel who would sacrifice my principles to do something like this?"

　Upon seeing the message pop up on the task panel, Bai Qiong's first reaction was that he absolutely could not let this evil underworld system lead him by the nose!

　Even though I might not necessarily lose out by letting the other person fall into depravity, it still feels like I'm harming a girl...

　Moreover, through the system's pop-up messages, Bai Qiong knew that the system's so-called "degeneration" was by no means a simple moral decline...

　Rather, it goes to a deeper level, involving the distortion of human desires and emotions.

　How could Bai Qiong accept this?

　Whether the host accepts it or not, this is the solution I can offer; the choice is in the host's hands.

　I can't think for the host, because I'm just a system.

　After sending the message, the semi-transparent panel in front of Bai Qiong disappeared.

　Eh……

　This lousy system is definitely unreliable!

　Bai Qiong sighed helplessly.

　"Bai Qiong? What's wrong? You don't look well. Your expression changed several times in just a few seconds, and you're sighing..."

　March 7th asked with some concern, reaching out to touch Bai Qiong's forehead.

　Bai Qiong quickly dodged San Yueqi's hand, and gave a forced smile. "It's nothing, I'm just still thinking about the problem."

　To be honest, Bai Qiong is now feeling guilty about the fact that March 7's corruption value has been increasing.

　He always felt that he was the one who had ruined the lovely little March, and now he absolutely could not let her moral depravity level rise any further.

　Now the system has added another mission objective: Toppa. We absolutely cannot repeat the mistake we made with March 7th!

　Thinking of this, Bai Qiong looked at Topa again.

　She stood there quietly, her eyes firm yet tinged with weariness, as if awaiting their decision.

　Seemingly sensing that Bai Qiong was looking at her, Topa said, "Since you haven't been able to make a decision for so long, then don't disturb my work."

　Her voice remained calm, but carried an undeniable air of authority.

　Toppa took out his phone, glanced at the message, and continued, "I still have a lot of things to take care of, so I'll be going now."

　After saying that, she turned and walked in another direction.

　Topana's sleek back view was quite attractive; her pert little bottom swayed gently, and her long, white legs were captivating...
