Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“…Eh? But Mr. Schwarz, if there are guests…”

“She’s not a guest,” Schwarz said in a deep voice, “and certainly not a friend.”

"Go back and wait for me, Clara. Everything will be alright, don't worry."

Clara hesitated for a moment, looked at Schwarzkopf, then at Toppa, and finally obediently ran into the mansion.

Toppa laughed:

"It seems my source was right: an unbreakable bond has been formed between the large robot and the little girl... What a heartwarming story."

Schwarzko stared at the brooch on Toppa's chest and asked:

"That's the logo of the Interstellar Peace Corporation. Why are you here?"

"Hmm?" Topa looked down at him:

"It seems I can temporarily forget about all the formalities when talking to you, that's great."

“Yarilo… Ah, are you familiar with this term? Anyway, it means that the planet beneath our feet will soon become the company’s asset.”

"No one can reverse this outcome. You can't, those nameless guests can't, and no force in the galaxy can."

“I’m only thinking about one thing right now,” Toppa pondered.

"It means being responsible for every project that passes through my hands, and I want the company's shareholders to see the value that Yalilo can create."

"In the long run..."

“No, only by doing this can we guarantee Belloberg’s long-term interests. I need your assistance to achieve this goal.”

Schwarzro stared at Toppa:

"Long-term interests...the concept is vague, and the assessment intent is unclear..."

"Evaluation result: Failure".

"Tell me, messenger, how do you intend to persuade the company's leadership?"

"Simple, I'll show you something."

In Toppa's hand, a cube-shaped component that looked somewhat irregular slowly emerged.

"This is..." Schwarzlo asked, puzzled.

“Source code,” Toppa explained.

"To be precise, it is the source code that allows for unified control of all of Belloberg's mechanical units."

Toppa smiled gently:

"You should know very well, right? For the past seven hundred years, all the mechs that Belloberg has manufactured have used the underlying systems left by the company."

"With such perfect code, the engineers here simply cannot think of any reason to replace it."

"..." Schwarzkopf lowered his head and fell silent.

Topa continued:

"You should also know that somewhere in this lower district, there used to be a huge arms factory."

"There lie many... many, many weapons, enough to crush the vanguard of a legion."

Toppa looked at Schwarz:

"This is my bargaining chip in negotiations with the higher-ups. I want to convince them that Ariello has a place in the company's long-term strategy."

"But first, I need a guide to tell me where those weapons were buried."

"..."

Schwarzlo paused for a moment, then replied:

“I understand. The long-term interests you mentioned can be defined as the survival of civilization at the macro level.”

"What are your plans for humanity living here today?"

Toppa thought for a moment and replied:

“Their future has already been bought out, and I can only try my best to help them accept this fact… in a relatively peaceful manner.”

"..."

Schwarz said in a deep voice:

"I understand, I will assist with your plan."

"Oh?" Topa was somewhat surprised.

"You're so easy to talk to? I thought you were the stubborn guy I'd heard about."

Schwarzlo replied:

"The future you're talking about is beyond my calculations. But my emotional readings tell me that you are indeed trying to figure out ways to keep the world going."

"in addition."

"Calculations show that if I refuse to cooperate, there is a 96.4% probability that you will force me to comply."

"Haha, it seems... your calculations were a bit too conservative~" Topa laughed:

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation! Thank you for leading the way, Mr. Schwarz."

……

In the middle of a large mining area.

After Seele entered, she finally found the miners who had not yet escaped from the large mining area; they were gathered together in twos and threes.

Looking at the scene before him, March 7th exclaimed in surprise:

"The miners are all gathered over there... What's with this strong sense of déjà vu?"

Seele was helpless:

"After all, the situation was pretty much the same when you first came here. It's just that compared to the thugs and a few broken robots, this time the opponent is much more troublesome."

Suddenly, on March 7th, another strange creature was spotted in the corner ahead:

"Hey, Danheng, Xier, look!"

"Isn't that the piggy bank next to Toppa? I think his name is... Zhang Zhang, if I remember correctly?"

Danheng nodded: "It is."

Seele asked in confusion:

"What? A piggy bank? Those things...aren't they creatures from the Rift Realm? You can actually keep them as pets?!"

March 7th blinked:

"People in the company are full of cutting-edge technology, so it's not surprising that they keep a piggy bank as a pet. Shall we go take a look at it?"

The three walked up to the piggy bank, and on March 7th, he squatted down and began to tease the piggy bank.

"Hmph~ Hmph hmph~~"

But Zhang Zhang dodged March 7's hand, and with her short limbs, she ran off in another direction in a flash.

"Oh no, it got away!" March 7th lamented.

Dan Heng said calmly:

"Let's follow it first, we'll say we're going to find its owner if we don't take it with us."

The three followed Zhang Zhang as she ran along.

During this process, many miners also fled in the opposite direction.

"Help! Help! The guy in black is hitting someone!"

"Help! Help! They've gone too far!"

As the miners ran past, Seele clenched her fists and her gaze snapped forward.

Several company employees dressed in black armor surrounded a miner, behaving extremely arrogantly.

"...Hey, fellow villager, I'm asking you a question! Where's your storage room for storing earth marrow?!"

Chapter 388 This is the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord, my friend.

Seeing such a sight, even the most inexperienced miners would be terrified.

He said tremblingly:

"I...I really don't know anything!"

"Tch, this is really difficult!" the company employee scoffed.

"Why is this place full of country bumpkins?!"

Seeing what was happening in front of her, Seele was furious and gritted her teeth: "This is outrageous! We have to teach them a lesson!"

The three men rushed forward and beat up the company employees.

"Ouch, that hurts so much! Damn it... Get out of here!"

After being beaten, the company employees endured the pain and ran away as fast as they could.

The surrounded miner also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to thank the three men:

"Thank you so much, Seele, and... oh, Miss March, and Danheng, you're back?"

"Mm." Dan Heng nodded slightly.

"It's not hurt."

"No, no... sigh."

The miner sighed:

"I don't know what happened, these people are like bandits, so many people have suffered. Has our Belleburg been invaded again?"

"But thankfully you're back..."
