Star Railway: Start with fireworks for fun

Hanabi saw Qinglan fiddling with his phone constantly, and it was obvious that he was chatting with someone via typing, but Hanabi couldn't imagine who else Qinglan could chat with so frequently besides herself.

"Oh, send a message to Kakavasia. I just remembered that he said last time that the company's strategic investment department seems to be taking action against Pinoconi. It seems that the one carrying out the mission is [Oper] or [Dragon Crystal]! Ask him to help say hello. Maybe he can be of use to Pinoconi."

"You guys...are really well prepared!"

However, at this moment, Qinglan's cell phone rang. Qinglan raised his eyebrows. This guy Shajin actually sent him a video call directly.

After Qinglan answered the call, Shajin's face appeared directly in front of him.

"Oh! My friend, sometimes I wonder if fate has brought us together."

"What do you mean?"

Sha Jin then smiled, slowly took off his sunglasses, and spoke in a playful tone.

"I originally thought that a business as big as Pinocchio should only be handled by employees at the P46 level, but in this meeting, [Diamond] actually chose me!"

"You? The person in charge of the Pinocchio mission in the company this time is actually you!"

Kakavasia's mouth curled up slightly, "It's amazing, isn't it? Fate is so ingenious. The forces in that place are complicated and intricate. It would be really troublesome if I didn't know anyone. But it just so happens that you are also going to Pinocchio. When I acquire Pinocchio, I will have a helper."

"Don't give me that. I don't know anything about the company's business. Just do your own thing honestly."

"Hey, hey, hey, weren't you just thinking about building a good relationship with the person in charge of the company sent to Pinocchio? My friend, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"You gambler, if you take me to the casino to win money I will definitely go with you, but forget about the mission. Besides, since you are going to Pinocchio, there is no need for me to make connections! Are you responsible for such a big mission alone?"

"There is another one. You should have heard of her. Her name is Topa. She is also a member of the Strategic Investment Department. Recently, her business at Yalilo No. 6 went bankrupt. I pulled her over to carry out this mission together."

"Yalilo No. 6? Are you still going to buy that godforsaken place?"

After seeing Qinglan's expression, Shajin was stunned for a moment, "You've heard of this place?"

"There's a... friend from the pub who lives there!"

"I see, that's not surprising. It's obviously very easy to acquire a planet with such backward civilization, but for some reason, Topa still didn't succeed! Oh! I knew it! She's an idealist who always wants to find a balance between work and debt collection. She's been demoted this time!"

Listening to Shajin's careless words, Qinglan spoke to himself.

"If you were the one in charge of Yalilo 6, what would you do?"

"Collect the debt forcefully, or bribe the people of Beloberg with benefits. Encourage them to parade through the streets and put pressure on the Great Guardian there. As long as there are enough people who agree, even if the person in power has a say, it will probably be useless!"

"As expected of you, very much like you. You can use this trick in Pinocchio! In this way, I can take the opportunity to become a different citizen and collect your money openly."

After listening to Qinglan's half-joking words, Shajin showed a self-deprecating smile.

"Hahaha, Qinglan, if you want me to go bankrupt, just tell me. Although I have money, it's not enough to buy out the entire Pinocchio! Oh! Happy times never last long. I have to prepare for the trip to Pinocchio. Goodbye! I hope I can meet you in Pinocchio."

"Next time we meet, I may not look like myself anymore, and you won't be able to find me."

Hearing this, Shajin narrowed his eyes and said, "Want to make a bet with me?"

"Hey, what did you say? Bad signal, hang up!"

After Qinglan said this, he immediately ended the call, while Shajin on the other end looked at the black phone screen and couldn't help but smile.

"My friend, fate is something that can't be broken! However, your existence at least allows me to not be isolated and helpless in Pinocchio. Hahahaha..."

At the same time, Hanabi looked at Qinglan with a smile on her face, "He's obviously a fool, so why are you so afraid to bet with him?"

"Guess how we met?"

"How did we meet?"

"On a planet called Gaimu, people use gambling to gain social status, wealth, power, and women.

I had just arrived there and wanted to try out the local gambling customs. I don’t know how many rounds I won in one go.”

"You still have this level?"

"Hehe, after all, I was cheating back then!"

"As expected of you! What's the result?"

Hua Huo was a little curious. She wanted to know how Qing Lan and this gambler met. However, when Qing Lan recalled this incident, she couldn't help but sigh.

"And then! This guy figured out my cheating method, but he didn't expose my cheating. Instead, he asked me to have a bet with him. If I lost, I would have to return the money I won."

"And you lost?"

"Not only did he lose, but he lost nine games in a row. It's like this guy is a born gambler. The moment he stands at the gambling table, the winner of this game is already born."

"So exaggerated? But why did he share the winnings with those people? The money-spreading boy?"

Qing Lan patted Hua Huo's head, "At that time, he was going to the gambling star to make an acquisition. It was a place where gambling was the most important thing, and the fact that he won the bet against me and returned the money helped him accumulate a lot of connections in the local area.

Finally... he used various means to get in front of the gambling king of the gambling star. The gambling king was the leader of that planet, and Kakavasia originally came to meet him as a newcomer, but in the end, he, as a company envoy, made an unprecedented gambling game with the gambling king during the audience ceremony, a life-and-death gambling game with a revolver, which would decide the outcome and life and death. And the bet was this gambling star."

"Is this all right?"

"That's right. This guy is a madman. He even put his life into the game for the sake of winning. During the game, he kept putting pressure on the other party with words. In the end, he broke the gambling king's mentality and made him surrender voluntarily. After that, this planet is now under the jurisdiction of the Interstellar Peace Company."

Then, Qing Lan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "This is not the first time that Kakavasa has put his life in a gamble. For him, every time the goddess favors him, she will take away the lives of his relatives.

Until now, he still gambles. If he wins, he will continue to move on, and if he loses, he will reunite with his family. This is why he can beat the gambling king. The gambling king has been in that position for a long time and dares not lose. Once he loses, he will lose everything. After all, he doesn't have the courage to put his life on gambling!"

"Gold dust! What a crazy guy!"

After learning about Sagine's past madness, Hanabi also didn't understand this guy's thoughts, "So do we need to look for him when we go to Pinocchio this time?"

"He has his own plans. If you have no other choice, don't bother him. But what he said surprised me a little. A planet like Yalilo VI that has no shit on it actually managed to escape the acquisition of the company. Anyway, it will take some time to get to Pinocchio. Why don't we go there to meet our old friend? And drag him into this incident. It just so happens that I'm still short of a scapegoat in the Pinocchio incident."

After hearing this, Hua Huo's mouth twitched slightly. She already knew who the old friend Qing Lan was talking about.

"You finally found someone just to take the blame for you? What if he doesn't come?"

"Don't you have his mask? He didn't care about this matter before. But the situation in the universe has been so turbulent recently. Although the star core crisis there has been resolved, the impact of the star core still exists! And this time he encountered a company acquisition. Although he was safe in the end, given his personality, I guess he will definitely find his own strength to protect his hometown."

Hanabi nodded in agreement, "That's right. After all, old Sangbo is different from us. He is a kind-hearted man who wants to protect his hometown! In that case, let's go! How long do we need to stay there?"

"Pull him into the water and leave. It will take about two or three days. Isn't Giovanni holding a competition there? We can still catch up with him! Once we pull Sambo into the water, we can go directly to Pinocchio."

Chapter 71 Belloberg

Because Yalilo 6 is affected by the core of the star all year round, the climate here is extremely cold all year round and the ice and snow will never melt. This is why Qinglan and Huahuo both describe this place as a deserted place.

"With this temperature, it's thanks to old Sambo that he was able to stay in this place for so many years. If I was born in this damn place, I would have left long ago when I could have left."

Feeling the severe coldness of Yalilo No. 6, Qinglan felt the beauty of Luofu Fairy Boat. At least that place can be described as warm in winter and cool in summer.

Unlike this place, it's all white at a glance. It's a pity that the company chose this place as its target. Qinglan's first feeling when he came here was that this kind of ghost place might as well be acquired by the company!

After all, although the company was rather rough when acquiring the planet, they really did improve the local environment! Tsaganya has only been around for more than 20 years, and it is already different from the past.

"You are a guy who can cause chaos in your hometown! That guy Sambo can't learn from you. Let's go! I haven't been to this place very often! Although there is only one Beloberg left that can be lived in, it's generally not bad! Except for the climate."

Hanabi rubbed her palms together. Although most clothes in the universe now have the ability to regulate temperature, for someone like Hanabi who wears less, part of her body will still feel the cold.

"Hurry up and find that guy Sambo and pull him into the water. I really don't want to stay in this place. It's too cold."

"Hahaha, when I came here, I asked you to buy a full set of clothes, but you didn't listen. Now you're suffering!"

"I used to wear this before! Which places have I not been to? But who would have thought that Yalilo 6 is such a bad place! In a sense, this place is even worse than Tsyganiya."

"But judging by the time, that guy should be here! Are you sure you told him about our arrival?"

"Of course I told him. Otherwise, I wouldn't know anyone here, how would I find him?"

As soon as Hanabi finished speaking, a sturdy man slowly walked over with a kind smile on his face.

"Oh my! Miss Hanabi and Mr. Qinglan, it's not often that you two are together. When I received the news, I thought it was fake!"

"What? Not welcome?"

"Of course you are welcome. I, old Sambo, welcome you with open arms and feet. Let's do our best to be a good host. With you here, the cultural relics in the museum will be just around the corner."

Qinglan:......

"Sambo, although we are very happy to see you and have a lot to say to you, shouldn't you take us to a warmer place now? This place is too cold."

Hanabi has been rubbing her hands and feet since she arrived here, and Sambo couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"Miss, you're wearing so little when you come to Yalilo No. 6. It'll be strange if you're not cold! Although the temperature regulation ability of the clothes is indeed very smart, shouldn't you also consider the coverage area?"

Qing Lan smiled when he saw this, then handed his gloves to Hua Huo, then turned around and put his arm around Sang Bo, "Sang Bo, stop saying these sarcastic words, we are exhausted after a long journey here. We are guests from afar, you can arrange a hotel for us to stay in that is comparable to the Daydream Hotel?"

"You two are so rude! Old Sambo's pockets are cleaner than his face. How can I afford a place like that? Besides, let alone Beloberg, even if you look at the entire universe, there are not many places that can compare to the Daydream Hotel!"

"Hahaha, just kidding. It's too cold to be discussing this place outside. Let's find a place to rest our feet! Hanabi is almost frozen into a popsicle."

"Okay, come with me!"

Hanabi and Qinglan followed Sambo to the most luxurious hotel in all of Beloberg - the Goethe Hotel... the Goethe Hotel in the back.

Qinglan, Hanabi: ...

Although the two hotels differ by only one letter, the accommodation environment and treatment are completely different. With old facades and peeling walls, Qinglan feels that this kind of hotel is at risk of collapse at any time.

"Hey, don't look at me like that! After all, this is the highest level I can afford, so just make do with it! You won't be staying for many days anyway."

"Where's Giovanni? Isn't he also a Beloberg? I'd feel bad if I didn't rip him off for such a big guy."

After Qinglan saw the shabby hotel run by Sambo, he immediately set his sights on the wealthy man Giovanni, but Sambo coughed twice in embarrassment.

"You two, it's a coincidence that you two came here. The Ether Front competition ended about three days ago, and Mr. Giovanni left Belloberg yesterday. He seemed to be in a good mood when he was planning this competition. If you could come a day earlier, let alone two or three days, I think you would have no problem staying here for a year."

Hanabi sighed helplessly, she was already freezing, and this guy Sambo even arranged a small and shabby hotel for them. If there was a leak at night, she would not be able to sleep well the whole night.

"Forget it, you don't have to pay for the accommodation. We can go directly to the Goethe Hotel. I say, Sambo, you are not a good enough host!"

After saying that, Hua Huo pulled Qing Lan directly towards the Goethe Hotel. After all, she was now worth 4 billion and had no worries about having no money to spend.

When the two checked into the Goethe Hotel, Sambo looked at their room with envy, "This room, this bed, this temperature, ah ah ~ ~, when will I, old Sambo, be able to live in such a happy place!"

After Sangbo walked into the room of Goethe Hotel, he made an exaggerated sound. Qinglan didn't bother to argue with this guy and asked Sangbo directly.

"We're heading to Pinocchio to have some fun, do you want to come?"

Sambo then slowly turned around and said, "Pinocone, my God! You guys are really rich. Booking a hotel in Pinocone costs a lot of money! But it's a pity that I can't go with you. I wish you have fun. Old Sambo will go to Pinocone in his dreams!"

Although Sambo said this, there was no trace of regret on his face.

Yes, for this guy, mountains of gold and silver are probably not as good as his Beloberg! He could easily leave this hellhole, but he has been relying on opportunism to make money and have fun in this small place.

Looking at Sangbo's appearance, Qinglan slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Since you're not going, that's great. This way I can use your identity without restraint!"

Hearing Qinglan's words, Sangbo suddenly thought of what happened in the fairy boat some time ago and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Damn it, the me in the Immortal Boat was you pretending to be me!"

"You know a lot!"

"Nonsense! If the people from the Starry Sky Train hadn't proven my innocence, I would have been hunted all over the world by the Immortal Boat! You are such a mean person!"

Seeing that Sambo's expression was a little unbearable, Hanabi immediately spoke up.

"Sambo, if you agree to go with us, we can return your mask to you!"

After hearing this, Sangbo narrowed his eyes for a moment, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I take it seriously. After all, without the mask, you must be feeling a little overwhelmed!"

Sambo's eyes were instantly filled with complex emotions, and his usual nonchalant look was completely gone. He then couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Chapter 72 Great Guardian, are you married?

"Speaking of which, what are you two crazy people doing in Pinocchio? Just don't do it like what happened in the last Xianzhou. You two just walked away. I'm really worried that they will turn their attention to Beloberg in order to retaliate against me."

Sambo said helplessly that these two guys, one pretended to be him to threaten him, and the other used his mask to threaten him, anyway, they were trying to drag him into the pirate ship.

As long as it was something that humans did, the two of them would never touch it! There were so many Masked Fools, but it was just him, Old Sambo, who was targeted by these two guys. He didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky.

After hearing this, Hanabi ran to Sanbo with a smile on her face, patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Don't worry, don't worry. We will be more restrained this time. We won't end up like the Immortal Boat."

"How dare you say that? The Immortal Boat is about to trace me back. If I don't have an alibi, I'm really afraid that the arrows of the Patrolling Star God will fall on Beloberg!"

"Hahaha, that's impossible. We've been making such a big fuss in the Immortal Boat. If he wanted to shoot him down, he would have done so long ago. He's probably still chasing the God of Plenty all over the universe!"
