Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

Estella took Sora's casual remark as reality. She said she would give a thank-you gift, and she definitely would. As long as the thank-you gift could be paid with credits, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Great!"

Qiong jumped up happily. Although she didn't know what the Star Destroyer would bring her, having it would be great.

"Don't be so happy, this thing is not available right now, it's out of stock. I'll buy it for you as soon as it becomes available."

Estella handed her phone to Sora and said that Sora had seen a wide variety of photos of Star Destroyers, but they all said "out of stock," so it seemed that these things would be hard to buy.

Chapter 11 Grandma Black Tower

"So you mean this kid Qiong got a Star Destroyer while we were all watching?"

March 7th was at a loss for words. All she knew was that Qiong had become rich. Even if she did nothing in her life, she could become a planet-level rich second-generation heir by selling the Star Destroyer and enjoy a life of leisure.

"I've only been gone a few months, huh? And the space station has become like this."

A sudden voice interrupted, sounding like that of a minor girl. Qiong snapped out of her reverie as the captain and looked at the gray-haired girl who was slowly walking towards her.

The little girl looked to be about thirteen years old. She wore a cute black dress with a huge gold lock hanging on her chest. The key to unlock it was casually hung around her neck as an ornament. She wore a black round hat at an angle. Her purple eyes shone with a maturity beyond her years, and she spoke in a very old-fashioned manner.

Estella was slightly taken aback, but upon seeing the little girl, she immediately stepped forward and hugged her.

"Ms. Black Tower, oh my god, I almost died here. That doomsday beast was so big, I wasn't even enough to fill its teeth. If I died, would you cry for me? I worked for you."

Estella, who had been calm and collected before, now had eyes that looked like fried eggs from crying. The little girl in front of her looked small, but seemed to be the elder that Estella respected the most.

"Will not."

Black Tower calmly said that as the messenger of the Star God of Wisdom, her thinking had long surpassed that of humans. Human emotions were mostly a burden to her; she would rather spend her time doing more research than crying.

"Let me introduce you. This is the true owner of the space station, the 83rd member of the Genius Club, Black Tower."

Himeko, who was the one who summoned the Black Tower, was also responsible for introducing this stranger to everyone. Apart from Estella and Himeko, everyone else was meeting this seemingly young master of the space station for the first time.

"A club for geniuses? Is there a club for idiots?"

Qiong said with a smile that he simply thought the name was a bit funny, like a small group of people entertaining themselves. However, if he really knew that there were 84 geniuses in the group who were all Star God Envoys, he would probably... laugh even louder.

"Kid, you should speak more politely. Even though the club's name is stupid, it's not something you can come up with."

Hei Ta looked at the collection in front of her with slight displeasure and said that when Himeko first told her about this, she was somewhat skeptical. Even a genius like her could hardly believe that her collection had turned into such an eccentric young man.

"I'm a kid, but you're not a little kid? You talk so arrogantly, it's making me laugh."

Qiong pointed at the Black Tower and said with a smile, while turning half of her body to look at Huang Quan beside her, wanting to share her joy with her companion. Huang Quan, however, did not see what was so funny at all, tilted her head and continued to eat her peach.

"Kid, I'm very interested in you. Come here and let's talk."

Black Tower had excellent emotional control. She pointed to a deserted corner in the main control section and said that she wanted to talk to Sora alone about something, and only Himeko was allowed to listen in.

"Oh."

Qiong laughed, but she still obediently followed Black Tower, after all, in a sense, Black Tower was also her mother.

Huang Quan followed Qiong, and Hei Ta turned around and glanced at her. Although the doll's camera couldn't reveal anything, the unsettling feeling still spread to her body, making her believe that this woman was even more terrifying than the Star Core, which made her even more interested.

"Himeko said that you are my star core?"

Black Tower looked at Qiong and directly revealed the shocking truth. Actually, it wasn't a secret. Apart from the innocent Little March, normal people would associate the golden spheres on Qiong's chest with the Star Core, because the train crew actually dealt with the Star Core frequently and had even sealed it.

"I remain true to myself, my name and surname are unchanged."

Qiong put his hands on his hips and said proudly that he remembered what his mother had said, but his mother had not asked him to keep the secret of the Star Core. Wasn't it something to be proud of that he was a Star Core Spirit?

"The star core inside you once descended upon that planet and wreaked havoc. To protect that planet, I specially built a space station to seal the star core. I never expected such a thing. Whose subordinate is this?"

Black Tower stared intently at Qiong's body. Of course, she could tell that the body was a vessel, not a stretching and shaping of the star core into Qiong's form. However, the two were inextricably linked, just as Qiong's current thoughts were the thoughts of the star core itself. Anyone who had come into contact with the star core knew that its intelligence was not low.

"Of course it was my mom who did it."

"Little brat, she stole you and stuffed you into a vessel, and you became your mother. Then what am I?"

Black Tower said with a hint of displeasure, "Theoretically speaking, Qiong is her property, or rather, her soul belongs to her. Kafka provided a body, so how can you treat her differently?"

Qiong tilted his head and looked at the Black Tower for a while. The image of the formation of the universe appeared in his mind. Three seconds later, he directly fell to the ground and slid all the way to the foot of the Black Tower, hugged her leg and started to rub against her.

"...Grandma Black Tower!"

Qiong shouted at the top of her lungs. To the uninitiated, it might have looked like a large-scale family reunion. However, after seeing Qiong's actions, many people might want to call the police.

"Whoa, let go of me, you pervert, why are you lifting my skirt?"

Hei Ta pressed her hand firmly against her skirt and said that Qiong's head was buried under her skirt. Although it was a doll joint, he was rubbing his head against it, and the doll's touch was transmitted to her body. Her body was so angry that she almost fainted.

"Grandma brought me here and built me ​​such a big house. I really owe you a lot. If it weren't for you protecting me, my mother wouldn't have been able to give birth to me. So it's Grandma who's here for me."

Qiong explained to Heita very seriously that Heita was still single and did not want to suddenly become a mother and daughter with a petty thief, so how did she become a grandmother?

"Who wants to protect you? I'm afraid you'll destroy the planet below. Get out of here."

Black Tower pulled out a large hammer from somewhere. The hammerhead was made of purple crystals. Black Tower swung the hammer and sent the dome below flying.

Huang Quan appeared behind Qiong in a flash, caught him and put him down. Qiong gave her a thumbs up. With her by his side, he could be even more fun in courting death.

Chapter 12 I agree to the marriage

"But kid, you've piqued my interest. I'll have to study you."

Heita straightened her skirt and quickly returned to her genius state, saying to Qiong that everything else could wait and that doing what interested them was the most important thing.

"How do you conduct research?" Qiong asked curiously.

"Of course, it's cut open, reassembled, then cut again..."

The Black Tower Doll's five fingers twisted and writhed at incredible angles. Just looking at her like this, if Qiong were to agree, she could really be remade.

"No, no, I'm busy looking for my mom. See you later."

Qiong waved goodbye to her grandmother. It was too dangerous here. She longed for her mother's embrace, and Huang Quan's embrace was not bad either.

"Your mother is the thief who stole you, right? What's her name? What does she do?"

Black Tower stopped Qiong and asked, "Although the result is interesting, it doesn't mean I'm willing to let the thief go. If I don't do something, thieves from all over the universe will come to steal from me."

"Give up. Even if I die, I will never betray my mother or my aunt."

Qiong said with great spirit that although he was now in the hands of the Black Tower, he was not afraid at all. This was not only due to his personality, but also because he had Huang Quan, a reliable friend, by his side.

"So there were two thieves? Someone with such abilities and such a thorough understanding of star cores must be a legendary star core hunter. According to you, Mom must be a voluptuous woman, and Auntie must be a younger one. Oh, the silver wolf who offended Screwgoom, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Black Tower stripped Qiong bare, and with just a few words and her understanding of information channels, she already knew who had done it.

"Mmmm."

Qiong's eyes widened and he covered his mouth. He hadn't expected that Hei Ta would completely guess the existence of his mother and aunt just by saying it casually. He realized that he could only pretend to be mute when communicating with a genius. He had suffered from his lack of common sense this time.

"I've built something called a simulated universe here. Come over and test it for me before you leave the space station. Consider it payment for all the free food and lodging you've done over the years."

Black Tower quickly came up with an experimental project suitable for Qiong. She had been struggling to find a suitable candidate before, but now it was different. Qiong, the Star Core Essence, was simply perfect for that project.

“Okay, Grandma, I’ll come whenever I have time,” Qiong nodded in response.

"Don't call me grandma!"

"Grandma, I'm hungry, how about some pocket money?"

Qiong stretched out his hands and looked pitifully at the Black Tower. He was really hungry and knew that food cost money. Since he was penniless, he could only rely on his family.

"Are you never going to stop? I don't have any money on me, go ask Está for some."

Heita said irritably. Although she was old enough to be a grandmother, she had no intention of acknowledging this grandson. As for money, it was just a string of numbers in her eyes. She had professional staff to deliver anything she needed, and there was no place where she needed money.

"Can you give me Estella?"

Qiong's eyes seemed to light up. He felt that asking for money was a tasteless act, so it would be better to get the person once and for all, thus avoiding so much trouble.

“Estella isn’t mine, but if you have the ability to trick her into your hands, I can deal with the family behind her. Anyway, she’ll get married sooner or later.”

Black Tower said calmly that she was quite satisfied with Estella's management skills. With Black Tower protecting Estella from getting involved in any political marriages, she also wouldn't be left to grow old alone. If given the chance, Black Tower wanted to know if Star Cores could have children with humans, which would be another interesting area of ​​research.

"Okay, Grandma, just wait and see your granddaughter-in-law."

Qiong said with a happy face, he didn't know why he wanted Estella to be his wife. Maybe it was just because he had a bad stomach and wanted to eat something soft, or maybe it was because she was cute. Anyway, he did what he wanted. Kafka's mother had also said that when you have a choice, you shouldn't let yourself regret it.

Black Tower left with a headache. She didn't want a grandson like Qiong at all, but considering he was only a few hours old, what bad intentions could he possibly have? She would need to ask him to test her simulated universe in the future, so Black Tower could only swallow her anger. She couldn't afford to lose such a unique sample of the universe that was delivered to her door.

After their chat, Himeko took Sora back to March 7 and the others. March 7 and Estella were very curious about what they had talked about with the Black Tower and why it had taken so long.

"I'll wait for you on the train. There's still some time before we depart. You can think about whether to stay at the space station or come with us on a pioneering journey."

Himeko said that the following words were addressed to Sora, and were a formal invitation for him to enter the Starry Sky Train.

"What? This kid Qiong wants to come with us?"

March 7 looked at Himeko with surprise and asked. She had only thought that Sora was interesting before, but she did not expect him to come with her. This seemed even more interesting.

"Qiong has his special qualities, and you will soon find out."

Himeko smiled mysteriously. After becoming partners, there was no need to hide the fact that Sora was a Star Core Spirit. However, no one on the bus would care what he was.

“I’ll go with you. My mom wants me to embark on a thrilling adventure, but it’s definitely not safe for me to follow you.”

Qiong agreed almost without thinking. He still remembered Kafka's words: if he stayed on the space station, he would only be a lazy gigolo, kept by Está.

"What are you saying? It makes it sound like we're about to crash at any moment."

March 7th complained unhappily, but looking back, the adventures on the train were indeed very exciting. This time, she almost became food for the apocalypse beast, which made her speak without much confidence.

"But having another partner is indeed a good thing," March 7th changed his tune.

There are two.

Qiong reached out and grabbed Huang Quan's arm, pulling her closer to him. The two were very close. Huang Quan, who didn't care much about outside information, glanced at him again and tacitly approved of his actions.

"I understand, I will arrange rooms for you."

Himeko responded with a smile, not refusing to let Huang Quan into the car because of her suspicious identity. She was a companion brought by Qiong, and there was no point in separating them here.

"Estella, I have good news. My grandmother has agreed to our relationship."

Qiong quietly moved to Estella's side, and when Estella wasn't paying attention, she took Estella's right hand and held it in her palm, saying...

"?"

Estella, who was still smiling, was now a mixture of confusion and amusement. She didn't know Sora's grandmother at all, and besides, what was going on? This sudden turn of events made her forget to pull her hand back.

"Black Tower is my grandmother."

Knowing that Estella was surprised, Qiong explained his background. When he said that he was the star core, Estella's gaze lost focus. She only came back to her senses after hearing about his strange relationship with the Black Tower.

"In that case, Ms. Black Tower can be considered a mother, right? So she's from the grandmother generation?"

Estella tried her best to complain, saying that although this strange relationship seemed to make sense—there would be no Dome without the Black Tower—she still felt that it couldn't be calculated that way.

"There can only be one mother, there's no way around it."

Qiong shrugged and said that he couldn't possibly have two mothers. Since the Black Tower had taken him in earlier, it could only be his grandmother.

PS, please collect, recommend and vote for me

Chapter 13 is a good option.

“Strange fellow, you’re a member of the Star Train now, you can’t tarnish Lady Black Tower’s reputation.”

Estella said to Sora, and from Sora's few words she could tell that the Black Tower did not object to taking him as its grandson. Estella knew the Black Tower, and this was definitely a decision made because they needed something from Sora, most likely related to the simulated universe.

"It's definitely not bad. Since we have some free time now, how about we talk about our..."

Qiong wanted to hold Estella's hand and continue talking, but she rolled her eyes at her, and the fair hand she was about to take disappeared.

"I'm extremely busy here, we'll talk later."

Estella didn't have time to argue with Sora, because the space station had just been attacked, and she was in charge of the survivors, treating the wounded, and the subsequent defense.

Qiong understood the responsibility Estella bore; she hadn't come here to play around as stationmaster. So they parted ways temporarily, and Qiong followed March 7 to the place where the Starry Sky Train stopped, preparing to find out where she would end up.

Who else is on the train?

Qiong asked, acting as if she were no outsider, wanting to familiarize herself with the train environment beforehand.

"There's the train conductor, Pam, who's all furry and takes care of driving and daily operations. And then there's Walter Young, whom we all call Uncle Young because of his age. Uncle Young is amazing; he's not only very knowledgeable but also very reliable. He's our pillar of support."

March 7th briefly described the other two people, but the adjectives were a bit strange, like describing a peculiar doll.

"Just a few people?"

Qiong, upon hearing that there was no further news about March 7th, couldn't help but ask in confusion, "The train looks quite large, but there seem to be only a handful of people inside."
