Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

I haven't seen this before, so this thing shouldn't be his.

Ash picked up the coin and found that it seemed to contain some mysterious power. The next second, virtual words appeared on the coin - Good luck.

"?"

What the hell?

Although I don't know why, it seems that Ash knows how to use this thing.

It's very simple, just toss a coin and... you don't know what will come out, it may be something happy, but it may also be the opposite, so the evaluation is 'good luck to you'.

"Where did this thing come from?"

Ash was puzzled.

He didn't remember having such a thing on him. Could it be that he was flying in space before because of it?

There were so many things he couldn't figure out, Ash put the coin away and then checked his internal condition.

There was nothing wrong with his strength, but he soon discovered that the spark of romance he had put away before was gone, and even the spark of time seemed to have lost its effect, deposited in his body and unable to respond.

Ash tried to communicate with the spark, but it was of no use. The power of the spark had indeed disappeared. Fortunately, the fluctuation of Oronis' consciousness was still there, but because the power of the spark was dormant, it could not be awakened now.

This situation puzzled Ash, and he guessed it might be related to Omphalos's nature.

"It seems that we can only find a way to return to Omphalos first and see."

"However, my current strength is not enough. Even if I go back, I won't be able to deal with the black tide. Perhaps I can ask the Black Tower for help?"

Although he had no connection to the Black Tower, the latter's interest in the unknown, as a renowned genius, was his inspiration. Furthermore, the storyline after 3.0 seemed to be connected to the Black Tower, albeit the Big Black Tower... Tsk~ After seeing the Big Black Tower, the Small Black Tower didn't really have any connection at all. Ash realized that he still preferred the Big Black Tower.

Little lolis and the like, although cute, are nothing compared to sexiness.

However, the Black Tower probably cannot confirm the situation of Omfalos for the time being. In the game, he arrived there through the Flowing Light Memory Court. It's a pity that the Starry Sky Train has left, otherwise he could meet the Star Core Spirit. With Wumingke's kind-hearted nature, he should not refuse to take him back to Omfalos.

Ash thought for a moment, and finally decided to make the best of it, stabilize the situation first, and improve his strength while thinking of a way to go back.

After he left Omphalos, the world should slowly return to normal, which means that the Black Tide will not be so fierce. With Wan Di and Xia Die, plus so many Royal Guards, it should be no problem to defend Shurima.

When his strength is further improved, he will be able to solve Omphalos' problem even without help from others.

Thinking of this, Ash was no longer anxious and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door and a space station employee came in pushing a food cart.

"Sir Ash, this is your dinner."

"Thank you."

The dinner was quite rich.

Four dishes and a soup, all cooked very delicately. I don’t know if it was the food in the space station or special care. Seeing this and thinking back to the days in Omphalos, it was like heaven and earth apart. Ash sighed and shook his head.

"You won't know until you compare it. Omphalos is really a poor and remote place."

You said you have a cell phone, but it can only be used in Ohema.

The territory is large but it is full of wilderness and the ruins are all in ruins. There are wars, climate, and black currents. When Ash looks back at Omphalos, everything is really terrible.

If they waited until the apocalyptic crisis was resolved and Omphalos was unified, they would have to import technology immediately, and the only convenient way to do that was to turn to the Interstellar Peace Company. However, collaborating with a company would be like courting disaster; didn't you see Yalilo almost sell out his entire planet?

Thinking about it this way, it would be good to be able to come out and see if I can bring something back, technology, talent, the more the better.

Oh yes, there is still money, lots and lots of credit points. Thinking of this, Ash missed the tens of millions of credit points in his backpack that he had not used up... But this amount of money does not seem to be a lot on a planet, and may not be as much as the daily pocket money of a rich woman in this space station.

beep.

The knock on the door sounded again.

The person who came in this time was not an employee, but the rich woman that Ash had just been talking about - Ester.

"Sir Ash, it seems you've recovered well." Ester walked in with a smile. "I'm Ester, the acting stationmaster. If you have any questions during your time here, please feel free to come to me."

"learn."

"Is the food to your liking?"

"Yeah, very good."

"That's great." Seeing that Ash had finished his meal, Estelle smiled and opened the document in her hand and handed it to him.

"This is?"

"Regarding the damage caused by Mr. Ash's crash into the space station, I have already omitted some unnecessary small figures for you."

"what?"

Ash glanced at the list on the document and fell silent.

Twelve office chairs, not counting.

Space glass is not included.

Maintenance of the main control floor is not included.

Medical treatment for several injured personnel is not included.

Mr. Ash's personal maintenance costs are not included.

...

...

The list was very detailed, and none of the items listed above were calculated. Although those expenses should be quite high, according to Ester's so-called "rounding off", Ash's eyes fell directly on the last item -

Ms. Black Tower's simulated universe equipment is damaged, discounted price 100000000000.

"One...hundred billion?!"

...

Yesterday's bounty statistics: 109 monthly tickets, 2 yuan in rewards, 32 blades. A new journey, the story continues to unfold, please vote! Please support! Please reward! !

There will be a final speech later, specifically talking about the previous volume~

Desert Emperor in Star Iron: Chapter 58 Cooperation with the Black Tower, Ash: I will bring the sun to you!

"One hundred billion?" Ash looked at the list. "Ms. Ester, are you sure you got this right?"

"Yes, this is the discounted price."

As Ester was speaking, she thought of the scene when Ash fell at the beginning with a strange expression. When she and her men rushed over, she saw a black tower doll lying on the ground crying and rolling around, shouting something like "My simulated universe". The scene was so tragic.

Later, according to professional estimates, Ms. Heita's losses this time were difficult to calculate, and 100 billion was probably only a small part. But according to Heita's words, he looked like he couldn't afford to pay anyway, and there was no difference between 100 billion and 1 trillion (Damn it, my simulated universe!).

"Um... okay."

Ash nodded.

"...OK?"

Ester was stunned. She thought Ash would have to say something. After all, one hundred billion is not a lot but it is not too small either. Normally, it would take some effort to pay it back, right?

But she didn't know that Ash had no intention of bargaining at all. First of all, Black Tower probably didn't care about money, but he still made a list. The fundamental reason was that there was probably something wrong with the "simulated universe".

But if it was so serious that it could not be repaired, Heita would not have chatted with him calmly just now. So the core point of this matter is not the amount of money, because there must be an explanation for this incident.

Although Ash didn't know how he ended up crashing into the space station, if it wasn't for the space station, he probably wouldn't know how long he would have been flying in space. Thinking of this, Ash didn't care. He didn't have the money to pay anyway. Secondly, he didn't have the money. Thirdly, he still didn't have the money.

However, given the Black Tower's status, money meant nothing to her except numbers... No, not even numbers. Numbers were fundamental to exploring the mysteries of the universe, and money, at least with Ester around, was meaningless. It just so happened that Ash also had something to ask the Black Tower. If they could reach a consensus, then the so-called compensation wouldn't matter.

"Um... Mr. Ash?" Seeing that Ash didn't respond for a long time, Estelle asked tentatively, "Is this list clear?"

"No, by the way, how long has it been since your space station was attacked? How long has the Star Train been traveling?"

"It's been half a month now. The people from the Star Train have been very helpful to us on this matter... Do you know them, Master Ash?"

"I don't really know them, I just know that I wanted to find them for something. What a pity." Ash touched his chin. "Ms. Ester, do you know how to get to Yalilo IV?"

"Yarilo?"

Ester shook her head. "There are no more interstellar ships going there. Unless I find someone to help me or buy one myself... (muttering softly) Speaking of which, I wonder if the Star Destroyer I reserved last time has been released. It's really hard to buy..."

As she spoke, she seemed to want to take out her cell phone to check the messages, but then she thought that now was not the right time.

"Because Yalilo VI has lost contact with the outside world, there has been almost no news from it in the past few hundred years. If you really want to go, Mr. Ash, I suggest you spend money to hire a spaceship or buy one. It doesn't cost much anyway." Estelle said.

She didn't know much about Yalilo, and if the people from the Starry Sky Train hadn't told her about it, she wouldn't have cared about such a place at all.

Ash's face was filled with black lines after hearing what Estelle said. After leaving Omphalos, he realized what the "gap between the rich and the poor" meant.

However, the Star Train had already departed. The only way to find them was to rendezvous at Yalilo, or else find another way back to Omphalos. The Black Tower should be able to help with this matter; the key was what bargaining chips he could offer in exchange.

"Ms. Esther, if you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it first." Ash said after seeing the rich lady looking at her phone several times.

"Ah? Okay, that's pretty much it." Estelle smiled. "If you have any questions, you can come to me directly, or tell someone else, and they'll tell me."

After Ester left, Ash also walked out of the room and wandered around the space station.

This place had just experienced an attack by the Antimatter Legion, and some places were still under repair, but the overall working environment had not been affected. Except for a few areas where monsters had not been completely eliminated, other places were safe.

Of course, many of these other places are not open to outsiders like Ash.

"Why do I feel like I've walked from a primitive tribe into modern society..."

Full of technology and mystery, everything in the space station was in stark contrast to what Ash had seen in Ompharos. He was dazzled by all the high-tech equipment.

And also jealousy.

It would be great if we could all move to Shurima.

After walking around, Ash returned to his room and slept until the next morning.

Someone still delivered meals, and before breakfast was finished, the little black tower appeared.

"I looked up the Omphalos you mentioned. It's a very strange place, with no records of it in any literature. Although I don't doubt you'll lie to me, I'll still confirm it with you to avoid wasting precious time."

"You checked all night without any rest?" Ash asked while eating breakfast.

"Ah? Has it been all night? I didn't notice." Heita said nonchalantly, "Some things are much more interesting than sleeping... From the looks of you, you're not lying. So, can we talk? Your excitement should have calmed down after a good night's sleep."

Ash wondered, "Why do I feel so excited?"

"For example, you just completed a space flight or something, and even hit the Black Tower Space Station with your head. You are the first person to have such a record so far."

"Then I'm pretty awesome."

Little Black Tower crossed his arms. "I can see you want to talk to me about something, but I'm also interested in what's going on with you. The most taboo in gambling is revealing your cards first, but that doesn't matter to me... Let me first tell you my guess. Regarding Omphalos, if it truly exists, it must be hidden by some power, memory or intellect. I suspect it's memory."

"If you're from Omphalos, then information shouldn't be circulated under such closed conditions. So I imagine you left Omphalos a long time ago. You wandered the outer universe for a long time, learned a lot, and even met a genius like me. As for whether your appearance on the space station was coincidence or arrangement, I'd like to think it was the latter, but the way you look doesn't seem to be the case."

"Unless... you're being targeted by a Star God?"

Ash was stunned. Wow, is this the imagination ability of a genius?

"guessed wrong?"

"The front is correct."

"What about the back?"

"I don't know. Why do you think I would be targeted by the Star God?"

"Assume, this is not illegal."

"?"

"So, assuming you've been targeted by a Star God, your appearance is both a coincidence and a plan. It's not easy to escape from a sealed area, and coupled with the power you possess, this assumption is reasonable." Heita spread his hands. "Of course, I don't know what you've been through before this, so can you tell me now? You've broken something important of mine, so you deserve some appreciation, right?"

"Can you please tell me what is worth 100 billion?"

"One hundred billion is the price of the equipment. You're a bit of a jerk. You've damaged the device where I store my data. It's going to be hard to recover that data. I'll have to rebuild a lot of the database... But that's not important. I can recover the data, but there aren't many that interest me. You're one of them."

Ash nodded. It was pretty much what he'd thought. If it was just equipment damage, Black Tower wouldn't have cared. But data damage was much more troublesome. After all, to build a system as vast as a simulated universe, the amount of data required was staggering, a challenge even for a genius.

If such a priceless item were left outside, people would definitely fight over it, but Heita didn't care. She only paid attention to things that interested her.

"Since you say so..." Ash took out a pen and paper from the side.

Heita asked, "What are you going to do?"

"My information is important, isn't it?" Ash smiled faintly. "In a place unknown even to geniuses, the information there might be helpful to you, right? For example, input some information into your so-called simulated universe, using the unknown to perfect the unknown, and thus explore and obtain more valuable information."

Heita was stunned: "I didn't realize you knew so much."

She originally thought that it would take some time to make Ash understand what the "simulated universe" meant, otherwise how could such a high compensation come from? If it was a country bumpkin from a small place, he would probably think that they were blackmailing him, but in fact, Ms. Black Tower had already given discounts again and again.
