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

"Okay, but if we're using the same software, we can just have March 7th share it with friends."

Aistar also took out her phone. The phone case was black with twinkling stars as decoration, and in the center was a white puppy. Judging from the cartoon image of Pepe, it was clear that she really liked Pepe.

"Can it really be like this? I don't know, you know I'm still a child."

"Yes, yes, yes, a baby that big right after birth."

Qiong opened her phone and, with Aista's help, registered for the interstellar universal chat tool, MicroStar. This meant that communication could be seamless regardless of which planet one was on. As for the underlying principle, she didn't know; when asked, she was told it was quantum entanglement.

After registering an account and entering the chat software, Estella became Sora's first friend. Sora then switched her phone to camera mode, came to Estella's side, held up her phone with one hand, and made a peace sign with the other.

"What are you doing?" Estelle asked, puzzled. (Seven II 4 Water Another Twist (Seven) Things)

"Let's take a photo together, so I can look at it whenever I miss you."

Qiong's explanation left Estella speechless for a moment. She had never encountered a man who would come up to her and ask for a commemorative photo before. But looking at Qiong's sincere eyes, she felt there was no need to refuse. He was still a child; what did he know?

Estella was thinking about other things, but when the flash went off, she still put her hands to her cheeks and made a peace sign, sending Sora a photo of her and him.

Where are you going next?

After taking the photos, Esther asked curiously. She usually wouldn't inquire about the whereabouts of the Starry Sky Train, but this time, with such a peculiar nameless guest as Sky, it was worth investigating.

"Pinocone, the destination of the underworld is also there, what a coincidence."

Of course, Sora had nothing to hide from Estella and answered all her questions. Upon hearing about this coincidence, Estella seemed to recall something as well.

"Oh, is that the rare grand event? Interstellar Peace Corporation has also received an invitation from Pinocchio and will probably send someone over."

Estelle knows a lot. As soon as she heard the name Pinocchio, she knew what the train crew was going to do. Attending such a grand event was very exciting. If she could get away, she would have gone herself.

"Interstellar Peace Corporation?"

Qiong felt like she had vaguely heard this name before, but she didn't know where she had heard it, so she looked at Estella curiously, waiting for her explanation.

"It's a company in which my family holds shares; it's probably the largest company in the interstellar space."

Estella explained simply that it wouldn't matter if more Sora knew, but just this simple sentence was enough to conjure up a terrifying behemoth. Even if the company wasn't owned by Estella's family, as a family that held shares, they could still amass wealth that ordinary people couldn't imagine, even if they just lay around all day.

"No wonder you're so rich, you really are a young lady from a wealthy family," Qiong exclaimed.

"Don't call me that, I still prefer my job as a stationmaster."

Estella frowned slightly. She wanted to be herself, not some rich young lady. She had never liked the halo of being a rich young lady.

Qiong nodded, noting in his mind what Estelle disliked. Just as he finished his work and was about to leave, Estelle remembered something, reached into her skirt pocket, and pulled out a black card.

"Qiong, you'll definitely spend money at Pinocchio, right? Here's my supplementary card. If you get bullied by the company, just mention my name."

Estella handed the thin card in her hand to Sora and said that she knew what Pinocchio was. To put it bluntly, it was a den of iniquity. The train crew had some capital, but compared to the terrifying consumption there, they might really go bankrupt.

"You're teaching me how to do things."

Qiong put the card into her jacket pocket and then said with an arrogant expression.

"Forget about it, take it back."

Estelle reached out her hand.

"No, no, no, I was just joking. I love being a kept man. You know I'm still young, and my stomach isn't fully developed yet."

The arrogance on Qiong's face suddenly vanished. He reached out to hold Estella's small hand, but she dodged it and rolled her blue eyes at him.

"Let's make this clear first, I'm keeping track of all the spending on this card for you. Consider it a loan, and you'll have to pay it back later."

Estella raised her index finger to Qiong and said that although she didn't care about the consumption of credit points, she still didn't want Qiong to have the idea that she could stop trying. This person had to work hard and live up to her and Black Tower's expectations.

"You still say you don't care about me, yet you gave me such an important card."

Qiong chuckled as she held the card, as if she were holding Estella's body, which made Estella feel slightly helpless.

"Consider this an investment. Ms. Black Tower values ​​you highly, and even if it's just for her sake, I have to provide you with some assistance. I hope you can do well and keep up the good work."

Estella didn't know why she impulsively gave the card to Sora. He should have pursued her through his own efforts and made something of himself. Now that she had helped him, it wasn't Sora's effort anymore, but rather her helping him pursue her.

Ultimately, Estelle still felt that there was potential to be tapped in Sora, and establishing a friendly relationship with him was a kind of investment. If he really became the protagonist on the galactic stage in the future, her investment would pay off.

"Don't worry, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, let alone the kindness of a beautiful woman. In the future, when I become the emperor of the universe, I will make you my queen."

Qiong immediately assured Aista that he had no intention of asking her for money. Since she had so voluntarily provided the start-up capital for the future, it was a timely help, and he would remember this kindness.

"Why is she a concubine? Where is the Queen?"

Estelle frowned and asked with dissatisfaction. Although she hadn't agreed yet, who would feel good hearing that he was going to act like a mistress right away? She began to doubt whether he really wanted to pursue her.

"He really is a playboy. I wonder if investing in you was the right choice."

Estella sighed and said that if Qiong hadn't been born so recently, she would have arrested this guy and checked his criminal record. After saying those lewd things, he ran away in a flash. He had achieved his goal and even got the rich woman's gold card. He was incredibly happy.

"Miss, who exactly is he?"

After Qiong ran away, the white-haired boy beside Estelle finally spoke up. He didn't understand why his young lady was so indulgent towards that man, who seemed mentally unstable, and he only knew that he was related to the Black Tower.

"That's a secret, I can't tell you, but Alan..."

Estella would certainly not reveal the whereabouts of the Star Core casually. It belongs to the Black Tower. Even though it has run away now, it is still under the control of the Black Tower and will not easily fall into the hands of others.

"Ah."

Alan was the boy's name. He responded and waited for Estádio to continue.

Do you think he's right for me?

Alan was taken aback by Estella's question. The naive young lady's sudden question caught him off guard. Although they were in a superior-subordinate relationship, Estella had always treated him like family. Their relationship was more than just master and servant; they were close friends.

"Not suitable."

Alan said without hesitation that he suspected his young lady had been deceived by a bad man. That Qiong didn't seem like a good person. Not only did he speak inappropriately, but he also took the blame for the dog.

“I knew you would say that. I also think it’s not suitable, but if it’s the kind of person who is suitable at first glance, then I have to question his true intentions.”

Estella smiled and said, but Alan only half understood. It seemed that Estella was not interested, or perhaps she had something else in mind. Miss was too difficult to understand. He should just be a guard.

Chapter 16: Such a good thing?

Qiong returned to the Starry Sky Train with cheerful steps. There were still the same few people on the train, but Huang Quan was nowhere to be seen; he had probably gone back to his room to rest.

"March 7th, make me a cup of tea."

Qiong sat down on the single sofa in a very arrogant manner, with her hands on the back of the sofa, and had an expression that said she was the boss of the world, which made San Yueqi's eyebrows twitch.

"Who do you think you are, ordering me around like this!"

"Watch your tone of voice. You are talking to a successful person who owns a Star Destroyer."

Qiong still spoke arrogantly.

"Pah! You have a Star Destroyer, but can you afford to maintain it? The maintenance cost of a train is huge, and we haven't even asked you for room fees yet."

March 7th made a face at Qiong and said that she had just remembered the maintenance cost of the star destroyer. This was something that normal people could not afford to maintain. Qiong had gotten something that could only be looked at but not used. In the end, it would probably be resold second-hand.

"NONONO, you're really a sucker, look at this."

Qiong spoke in a non-standard ghost language, placed the black card between two fingers on the table in front of her, and gestured for March 7 to take a good look.

"Supplementary card, whose...wait, you kidnapped Estella?"

March 7th was slightly taken aback. After careful observation, she realized what the card was and remembered who Qiong had gone to see. She exclaimed in surprise.

"Nonsense, this is proof of our bond. We'll use it to refuel the Star Destroyer."

Qiong corrected her, and a pained expression gradually appeared on March 7's face. This situation was more painful than seeing Qiong make a profit, especially since it was such a huge profit.

"Come and give me a shoulder massage. I'll cover all your expenses at Pinocchio."

Qiong used a facial expression attack, waving a black card in his hand. No one knew how he did it, but his lower lip almost covered his nose. Faced with such a distorted expression, March Seven naturally chose to give in.

A pair of soft hands landed on Qiong's shoulders. To be honest, Qiong was very surprised. She didn't expect March 7 to actually do it.

“I didn’t want to either, but the internet says Pinocchio is incredibly expensive, and I have no income, so I still have to rely on you, Qiong boy.”

March 7 pouted and said that she was an orphan adopted by the Starry Sky Train. Her allowance was given by Himeko. She was too embarrassed to ask her elders for money again. Now that she had Qiong, who was a sucker, she decided to earn money through her own labor.

"Okay, I mean what I say. Buy whatever you want, I'll pay for it."

Sora readily agreed. Although Estella said he would have to pay for the expenses himself, he felt no pressure at all. Sora himself didn't realize that he was born to be lawless. The only thing that could restrain him was never morality or anything like that, but rather the feelings his companions had for him. The first person he met was March Seven, which was very lucky in a sense.

After enjoying a perfect shoulder massage from the young girl, Qiong returned to his room to wait for the train to depart. It wasn't that he didn't want to have more interaction with March 7, but rather that he wanted to see what Huang Quan was doing, as she was his closest friend.

After Qiong returned to her room, she saw Huang Quan still sitting on the sofa, staring at her phone and clicking on something with great effort.

Seeing this, Qiong sat down next to Huang Quan and watched her play on her phone. But after watching for a while, he realized that she was even more childish than him.

"Ah Quan, I'm not saying this to be mean, but can you really touch the screen with those finger cots on? Don't you think something's off?"

Qiong couldn't help but complain, because Huang Quan had three metal finger cots on his right hand, with sharp tips that looked like they could gouge out an enemy's eyes at any time. Wearing something like that, it was impossible to accurately press the phone screen.

"do not think so."

Huang Quan stubbornly insisted that she had actually noticed the problem, but she just didn't want to take off the finger cot, so she was struggling with her phone here.

"Ugh."

Qiong sighed, took Huang Quan's right hand and took the phone away, then carefully examined her palm. It seemed that the arm guard and the fingerless glove were integrated into one piece. Qiong did not have the idea that rubbing her palm on her face would make her feel happy. Instead, she tried to remove the finger guards that Huang Quan was wearing.

"This is a safe zone, there's no need to be fully armed. And why are you wearing chains on your arms? Are you some kind of alternative girl? A biker gang member?"

Qiong muttered to herself as she removed the finger cot, and then she saw the silver chains wrapped around Huang Quan's forearm. Strangely, these chains did not have any clasps to unlock them, and probably only she herself knew how to untie them.

"No, these chains are... used to seal power."

Huang Quan tried to pull her hand back, but Qiong held on tightly, preventing her from escaping. Instead, he looked at her over and over, making her very uncomfortable.

"Ah, I admit you're the strongest woman I've ever seen, but it's not so exaggerated that you need to seal your power, is it? What can you do if you unseal it? Transform into your second stage?"

Qiong let out a carefree laugh. He felt that Huang Quan was strong, but that was all. He could only bully small minions. He was the one who dealt with the Doomsday Beast. Qiong felt that he was very arrogant now. He was probably not much worse than Huang Quan. After all, he was a Star Core Essence.

"It can't be done."

Huang Quan thought for a moment and realized that his appearance after being freed from the chains could hardly be called a transformation; it was more like a change of color. So he shook his head and said.

"That's settled then. Besides, you'll definitely have to take it off when you take a shower, unless you don't shower at all."

Qiong still said cheerfully, Huang Quan ignored his teasing and finally withdrew her hand, and Qiong handed the phone to her.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to register. We can add each other as friends and chat anytime."

Qiong was teaching Huang Quan, a complete novice who didn't know how to use a mobile phone, how to register for a chat app. He had just learned this from Estella, and thankfully he was smart enough to remember it after just one glance. He had a feeling that he and Huang Quan were both complete novices when it came to electronic devices.

"Chat anytime?" Huang Quan asked, puzzled.

"Aren't you going to Pinocchio? Once you've finished what you need to do, we might have to part ways. We'll keep in touch by phone then. You don't want to abandon your good friend, do you?"

Qiong was still muttering to himself. He still genuinely considered Huang Quan a good friend. She was a savior, after all. Even if she wanted to leave, Qiong had to make sure he could contact her. And importantly, she got lost so easily; what would she do without his guidance?

"No, once the Pinocchio matter is over, if you're not afraid of me, I'll travel with you."

Huang Quan was certain that she had no intention of separating from Qiong. Although it was a temporary team, she felt that there was a lot to discover about Qiong. As long as he didn't bring up the idea of ​​separating, Huang Quan wouldn't either.

"That's a good thing. And why should I be afraid of you? You're so cute, everyone would want to travel with you, right?"

Qiong smiled and said that he had just thought that Huang Quan might stay in Pinocchio. If she was a traveler without a destination, that would be a good thing. As he spoke, Qiong raised his hand and placed it on Huang Quan's cheek, gently rubbing his fingers against her smooth skin.

Chapter 17 Your Auntie Will Introduce You to Someone

"Cute, me?"

Huang Quan looked puzzled. She had seen many people claim to be monsters, but none of them had ever described themselves as cute. She even had to spend some time trying to remember what "cute" meant.

"Of course it's you. Don't doubt yourself, you're a beautiful young lady."

Qiong gave Huang Quan a thumbs-up and smiled. Huang Quan was also infected by his smile and chuckled softly. She rarely had the opportunity to communicate with others like this. After learning about Qiong's identity, she understood that he was an anomaly. Huang Quan herself was also an anomaly, which was probably why they were so easy to get along with.

Didi~

Qiong's phone beeped with a message notification, so he added Estella as a friend, thinking it was her contacting him. But when he opened the MSI interface, he found that it was a stranger adding him as a friend.

The stranger's profile picture was a pair of rabbit ears, but upon closer inspection, they weren't real ears, but rather small rabbit ears made from a hair accessory. Qiong felt a strange sense of familiarity, so she added the stranger as a friend.

Silver Wolf: Hey, are you there?

Galaxy Handsome Boy: Here.

Silver Wolf: Ugh, what a nickname you gave me, I need to go throw up for a bit.

Galaxy Handsome Boy: That tone, are you your aunt?
