Star Railroad: Great Guardian of Beloberg

"I thank you for your help today. If you hadn't stopped the enemy, I would have died today." Tingyun was a smart person. She didn't choose to hide the truth from Alex who was able to protect her. She said directly: "When I arrived at Qianxing a few days ago, I was robbed. Some clothes and a folding fan were stolen. I didn't think much about it at the time. I didn't want to delay my journey, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But today, seeing that illusionary method, and the former sword master and the rich evil creature blocking me, I have some speculations in my mind. I am afraid that those people with unknown identities have targeted my identity of entering and leaving Luofu at will, and have some plans for Luofu."

Tingyun was very smart and connected the dots. The Lord of Extinction and the People of Abundance joined forces and prepared to use her identity to sneak into Luofu. If this was the case, Luofu might be in danger of a disaster.

This place is only one jump away from Luofu's waterway. It's too close. Maybe we can get there now!

Alex thought: Sambo mentioned the divine war involving hunting, abundance, and destruction. The envoys of the latter two have already met today, so it makes sense to go to the immortal boat where the hunting is located next.

"Miss Tingyun, is there anything I can help you with?"

Let's not talk about abundance, it's not familiar, if you have the ability to see my master, come and treat the negativity first. But destruction is also the enemy of the Beloberg, Miss Jizi has specially sent a message to remind her, the burning wind approached the star system where Yalilo VI is located, and was disturbed by the power of nothingness before leaving.

Strike and destroy, it is in line with the correct values ​​of the Beloberg!

"I just tried it." Ting Yun sighed and said, "Interstellar communications have been blocked by the company. We can only use the network within Qianxing now."

The company was not going to publicize the fact that a director was replaced by Huanlong without anyone noticing, especially since Huanlong had specifically announced before leaving that he had used the company's power to destroy the economies of several planets. They would naturally block such news that was not conducive to unity. No one knew whether the port and signal blockade was aimed at preventing Huanlong from spreading or at preventing the spread of news.

"If you have the means, could you please help me once? Just let me send the message to Luofu and get ready." Tingyun bowed and asked, "I will remember your life-saving grace and repay you in the future. If you can send a message to save the people of Luofu, I will report your righteous act to the general. Not only will I receive a thank-you gift, but I will also be treated as an ally in future trade or other exchanges."

What she was afraid of was that if the other party failed to seize her, he would take advantage of the company's blockade of Qianxing to go to Luofu to cause trouble. When she thought that the trouble might be caused by "herself" and her relatives and friends would also fall into disaster, Tingyun felt uncomfortable.

Alex took out his phone and took a look. Sure enough, he could send messages to Cocolia and the others, but when he tried to send messages to the space station and the Starry Sky Train, it showed that they could not be delivered. Xianzhou's friendship was beneficial to the Beloberg, so he said, "I'll try it, or when someone from the company comes to contact me, I'll ask if I can leave first. Translocation also takes time. If Huanlong really uses your identity to go to Luofu, he will need to lurk for a while. Miss Tingyun, you should rest for a while on the Beloberg. That group of people should not attack again, but you should not leave here yet."

"Thank you so much, my benefactor."

Tingyun bowed again to express his gratitude, but he did not have much hope for the company. They cared more about their own interests, not Luofu's. Even if he told them the reason, they would probably have to wait until they confirmed that there was another "Tingyun" there before they would lift the blockade and help notify.

Alex saw Celestine walking towards him and told her to entertain the guest, then he left the command room and went to the home in the living unit.

Alex was lying on the bed, not taking out his Mewtwo, but harassing Silver Wolf with his phone. If anyone could break through the communication blockade, then among the people Alex knew, it was only Silver Wolf. He sent a few 1s, and a red exclamation mark appeared. Just when he was about to complain about the genius hacker being just like this, he felt something unusual again.

I tried to send a message to Estelle, and the message appeared in the dialog box with an exclamation mark. But when I sent a message to Silver Wolf, the red exclamation mark appeared a little later.

Don't underestimate my observation skills!

"Hey, hey, hey, Comrade Silver Wolf, you can receive it but you still ignore me. I'm going to be angry. I won't help you anymore. I've deleted you as a friend. I'm sad."

Silver Wolf: ...

Silver Wolf: Childish ghost.

Who is the childish ghost? You popped up when I said to delete a friend. Alex was about to type when he found a blue figure in his room. Silver Wolf roamed the Internet directly and projected here.

This guy is really everywhere. To some extent, except in the wild areas, her appearances and disappearances are sometimes more bizarre than those of some emissaries.

Silver Wolf blew bubble gum, looked at Alex lying there, and said directly: "What happened in Qianxing was within Elio's expectations, and I can't interfere. Oh, by the way, because you are in Qianxing, Elio is keeping a close eye on you."

"I want to contact the immortal boat Luofu, Silver Wolf, do you have any way?" Alex asked.

"You should have said, 'Miss Silver Wolf, please help me contact Xianzhou Luofu' instead of asking me if I have any solution."

In some ways, Silver Wolf is really cocky. Alex always felt like he was looking at Bronya when she was a child, Bronya's face and Seele's personality. He said, "Yes, yes, Miss Silver Wolf, please help me contact Xianzhou Luofu."

"I reject."

“I really deleted my friend.”

"Alright, alright. Ren said he would play games with me after his hand injury healed, but it turns out his hand never healed. You are my only friend who is as free as me, so don't delete me." Silver Wolf said speechlessly, "The company takes the situation here at Qianxing very seriously. Although it's a small matter for me to hack in, it's a bit troublesome for you to send messages by yourself. Even if the signal helps you get through, your message will be blocked in the headquarters' database. They are violating the rules they have locked down and monitoring all the information coming in and out of Qianxing."

"Then can you just give me a message?"

"The people of Xianzhou won't believe it." Silver Wolf said, "The words of a Star Core Hunter like me will only be regarded as a provocation by the people of Xianzhou."

"Then you can send messages in someone else's name."

Alex paused. There are many ways to help. This is obviously an excuse. He said, "Elliot won't let me? How many more people will die on Xianzhou before he's satisfied?"

As the best director, Alex was a little disdainful of Elio's ability, look at mine, how great it is. I will not die alone, eat hot pot and sing songs, and smile to deceive that Klipper.

"That's not the case. The script this time is to reduce the loss of the Immortal Boat and let the Star Train gain the friendship of the Immortal Boat." Silver Wolf did not hide this and said directly: "You should play games with me and give the kids a sense of adventure. If you are really lonely, I can project Kafka over. Because your workload as a Star Core Hunter has increased too much, save some energy. Hey, did you buy Mewtwo? Can I replace it with Kafka as AI?"

"what?"

"Ah what? Kafka will be unhappy if you see other women, okay? I'm helping her."

"I'm already playing Mewtwo but I'm still watching Kafka. Is there something wrong with me? Wait wait wait." Alex was almost led astray by the silver wolf and said, "Will you help me?"

Although Xianzhou's financial strength is not as good as the company, it also has a lot of good technology. Their cave technology is very interesting. If it can be obtained, the internal space of the Beloberg can be expanded by more than ten times. He really wants this technology. The Starry Sky Train wants Xianzhou's friendship, and he wants it too.

Silver Wolf turned his head and looked not at Alex, but at a certain existence in the space where she was actually. After a while, he said, "I will help you contact General Jing Yuan of Luofu in 24 system hours. However, whether others believe you or not is another matter."

A hunting envoy?

"Did Elio just speak?"

Silver Wolf did not deny this statement, but said: "Don't play Mewtwo anymore, go to the game and join the group."

"The network has been blocked."

"Don't ask! If you want to know, just go online! Once you're online, join the team! Once you're in the team, get started!"

You hacked into Qianxing's network just to get me to play games with you? You're such a jerk.

Alex picked up his phone. He couldn't send messages, but he could play the game. After he was forcibly pulled into the group, he thought to himself: the woman blessed by me is still inside Qianxing.

He was a little curious about what would become of the person who accepted the blessing of nothingness.

"Two unidentified persons."

What happened at Qianxing had attracted the attention of the company's ministers. Each of these ministers was a cosmic giant who controlled terrifying wealth and company authority, and the real power holders of the company. After leaving the Beloberg, Topa stood in the D039 air port, pressed the headset, and reported to his minister, the Strategic Investment Department - [Diamond]: "There is no record of Qianxing entering the port. One of them was a Harvest Envoy according to the description of Alex Rand who fought against him."

"Minister, this is very relevant." Topa thought she was just chasing a Destruction Envoy, but she didn't expect that she had cast a net and caught several whales. The company that cast the net didn't even have the strength to pull the net. She said directly: "If we investigate further, there may be other Envoys."

The company will not intervene too much in the fights between the Star Gods, and their purpose is always for the Amber King. Even if some worlds are attacked by the Antimatter Corps, they will provide support, but will not confront the Antimatter Corps head-on. For disputes involving multiple emissaries, companies that claim to be businessmen will often try to avoid them.

"Block the news as planned."

Diamond ordered, "Leave the task of finding Phantom to the people of Thousand Stars. Topa, give me an assessment of Alex Rand."

Compared with Huanlong, the director of the strategic investment department is more concerned about the sudden appearance of Alex.

Chapter 73 I, Alex, send you money!

Jingliu woke up from her coma, and saw a golden field in front of her. The breeze blew through the rice ears, and she sat up blankly and looked at the peaceful scene around her.

"Who am I?" Jing Liu pressed her head. She felt a sense of tranquility that she had not experienced for hundreds of years. But with it came a blur of memory. She didn't remember who she was or what she had done. She wanted to think about this question, but she found that her head was aching.

Headache, upset, uncomfortable. Recalling the past made her feel extremely uncomfortable, so she followed a certain voice in her mind and chose to give up. She lay flat in the field and looked at the sky quietly.

"Jingliu, you have something you must do."

"Jingliu, as long as we can kill him, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it."

Jingliu, is that my name? She lay there, feeling that there were countless voices in her mind talking to her, as if they were her past selves, some were kind and some were crazy. She listened to those voices and slowly closed her eyes.

The deep void weaved a blindfold over Jing Liu's face. The moon in the center gradually lit up but was swallowed by the void and turned into a lunar eclipse.

I don’t want to breathe, I don’t want to get up, I don’t want to struggle, I don’t want to respond, I don’t want to live.

“No!” Jingliu suddenly sat up and looked at his hands, muttering, “Jingliu, Xianzhou Luofu, Yunshang Wuxiao, Digong Siming…”

The strange black and purple color on her hands seemed to have filled her soul with lead. She just remembered something, but it all felt too heavy, so it would be better to lie down.

Jing Liu was in a state of extreme contradiction at this moment. She sat up and wanted to leave, but then she couldn't help but lie down. In her constant recollection, she finally remembered a face.

Was that the enemy who caused him to fall into this state?

Is it the father who gave him a new life?

Jingliu finally stood up with a conflicted mentality. Looking for the past made her miserable, but looking for him seemed to give her some motivation.

…………

"Why did my uncle bring back a woman after going out? This is not a good habit." Seele learned all the bad habits of Alex. She took the milk tea brought back by Bronya and put her feet on the table while drinking. This little girl was equally hostile to all women who approached Alex - except Bronya.

"The current situation of Thousand Stars is more complicated than this." Bronya looked through the minutes of the contact between the Beloberg and the company while she was shopping, which was recorded by the secretary. For some reason, her mother said that all the next work would be handed over to Bronya and she would not show up. She immediately returned to her post and took on her responsibilities, saying: "I thought we would leave after a short stop after the purchase, but now it is a question of when we can leave Thousand Stars."

Just as my uncle said, the company showed some goodwill to the Beloberg, but not much. The Beloberg didn't have what they wanted, so they proposed to go to Yalilo VI to investigate the resources, confirm the planet's resources and the difficulty of mining before trading. In addition, they also proposed another plan, to treat the miracle city of Beloberg as a cosmic attraction, and the Rift Creatures as an adventurer's playground, to help restore Beloberg's tourism industry.

The company also took the initiative to propose that they would organize an internal team-building trip to Beloberg to learn the spirit of conservation.

To this end, they can provide an interest-free loan to help rebuild a modern Bello Berg, create a historical exhibition hall, museums and other attractions.

It sounds good... If the Belobergs can't go to the stars, then this is already a kind of help. At least it can help Beloberg restore some of its economy and vitality. But now Bronya always feels weird. What they want to restore is an agricultural and industrial system that does not rely on others, rather than vigorously developing the tertiary industry.

"Is he strong? He's a good opponent."

"It's a bit embarrassing in front of my uncle, but if it's just the two of us." Bronya finished sorting out the documents on hand and said, "It's cold."

"I see." Seele's obsession with fighting is different from Bronya's. She hopes to become stronger, to protect Bronya and others. She asked, "How is the contact with the company?"

"Mother only negotiated some trade terms, a discount in short, but didn't discuss any other benefits." What the company wanted to give to the Beloberg was not consistent with what Beloberg wanted from the company. They wanted Beloberg to stop wandering and go home. We will come to visit you with banners and gifts. But Beloberg wanted more, the restoration of the entire Yalilo VI.

"It's really troublesome. Why don't we learn from our mother and rob?" Xier muttered to herself, and Alicia walked into the office where the two sisters were. She said, "Captain, the company has called and requested to go aboard for negotiation."

So soon? Bronya and the others have only been back for two hours. The company should be busy dealing with the matter of Huanlong instead of negotiating with the Beloberg. Is it because of my uncle?

"They made a request and wanted to speak to Master Alex."

really.

"Notify your uncle," Bronya said, "No, notify the officials to gather at Klipperburg and talk there."

…………

After being led by Silver Wolf to play games for two hours, Alex was just about to take out Mewtwo when Celestine came over. She notified the company to negotiate and mentioned her proposal to meet him by name. Alex breathed a sigh of relief. That was fine. If his force could bring more benefits to Beloberg, he would go.

When he arrived at the Amber Room where the Klipperburg meeting was held, he saw that both sides of the long table were already full of people. On one side were the officials of the Beloberg, including Bronya, Cocolia, and Shiluwa. There was an empty seat for him, and on the other side were the company representatives.

However, the people who came were the debt handler Topa and his group, not the people who had been contacted before, and there was also a vacant main seat.

Topa looked at Alex who was walking over. She spent more than an hour making an assessment about Alex Rand based on all the information the company had, and came to a conclusion. That conclusion also made her immediate superior, Minister [Diamond], decide to negotiate with Alex in person.

Topa placed a projector on the empty main seat, and the moment Alex sat down, a blue humanoid projection appeared on the empty seat.

"Mr. Rand, fellow protectors from Yalilo VI." Topa stood up and introduced the figure beside him who couldn't be identified as a man or a woman. "The person next to me is Diamond, the director of the company's strategic investment department. I'm sorry that the director is not in Qianxing and can only participate in this meeting via remote projection."

Minister? Cocolia frowned, and Bronya beside her also showed a surprised expression. They had never seen a director before. Now a minister-level figure came directly.

Apart from the directors of the board of directors, the real power in the company lies in the heads of the seven departments. And Bronya had done her homework and knew that the person who just contacted them was a senior salesperson from the [Market Development Department]. Now she had contact with a different department, and the head of the department came to talk directly.

The reason is clear to everyone. The other party emphasized Mr. Rand.

"Hello, Minister of Diamonds. I'm Alex Rand." He came to him, not to call him to task. Alex understood what he meant and said to the shadow, "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Rand." The shadow seemed to be affected by the signal, flickering a little - not as clear as the projection of the silver wolf. He placed his hands on the conference table and said, "Can you forgive me for asking about your beliefs?"

"My Lord IX."

Alex had nothing to hide. IX was a truly neutral Chaos among the Star Gods. It did nothing and had no dealings with any Star Gods. It also had no direct conflicts with the company.

"Your presence makes me curious about something that has been discussed for dozens of Amber Ages in the universe, that is, whether the IXth Agency really exists." Diamond paused after saying this, "The current situation on Thousand Stars is complicated, and the board of directors is very concerned about the situation here. I will leave the greetings for next time. If your ship is willing to come to the company headquarters in Pierpoint, I will definitely entertain you well. Please allow me to save some necessary etiquette links, okay?"

"Sure. I like to get straight to the point. Time is money."

"Well," Diamond said to Alex, "3000 trillion credit points per system year, what do you think?"

How much? 3 with three zeros after it. Is it trillions? Or is it every year?

Except for Alex, everyone present was surprised. Cocolia quickly turned over a calculation in her mind. The bounty for the Star Core Hunter Kafka was 100 billion credit points. Was that equivalent to sending Kafkas every year?

Bronya was calculating the total account in her mind. Their current financial reserves, not counting Alex's own wanted criminal treasury, were only about 4 trillion credit points - a huge number, but the consumption power of credit points was not that great. Buying a milk tea required more than 2000 credit points. Spread out to an average of only million credit points per person - a Mewtwo would cost several million.

Beloberg got a lot of benefits from the Star Core Hunters, but most of them were technologies and equipment. The laboratories and scientific research centers of the Beloberg were the core that could support fifty years of development. Most of the money was spent on education and development - and on Shiluva, the money-burning woman.

The fiscal revenue of the Global Federation for a planet that has entered the cosmic civilization is 120 trillion credit points - that is, a planet with a population of billion! But the Beloberg has a population of , so on average, each person is issued billion credit points per year?

Each person will receive a Galaxy Lotto ticket every year - the kind that wins the jackpot!

For a company that controls the trade of tens of thousands of planets, this amount of money is indeed a drop in the bucket. However, if it falls on a planet participating in the space trade, it is also a huge fortune. For Beloberg... it is enough to renovate the entire interior on the spot, and every resident can go directly from being well-off to being the crown prince of a resource planet.

Only when we talk about per capita figures can we find value.

"Minister of Diamonds." Bronya thought about it but still felt something was wrong. She suspected that she had misheard and confirmed, "You are talking about 3000 trillion credit points, every year?"

"Yes, dear Miss Rand, you heard it right." Diamond repeated: "It's not a loan, it's a grant."

For free?

"The business of the company is clearly divided. As the director of the Strategic Investment Department, I have no right to interfere with trade or other business." Diamond refocused his attention on Alex and said, "My business is to invest and be responsible for my own investment. I know best that people are the most valuable investment project in the universe. So, Mr. Rand, are you willing for me to invest in you and the Beloberg?"

Topa was also looking at Alex. She spent an hour tracking down all the traces Alex had left in the universe, from the Annihilation Gang to the Black Tower Space Station, to the analysis of Yalilo VI and his actions when he came to the Thousand Stars. Finally, she completed an assessment report and gave it to Minister Diamond.

Her conclusion is "low investment risk and extremely high return on investment". In simple terms, it is much more beneficial to win over the other party. This is not without reason, because... a Lingshi who has a family and concerns, a Lingshi who has just set foot in the universe, the company can rest assured to discuss cooperation, and even put some company labels on him.

This amount is the highest amount that the Diamond Minister has the signing authority to do without reporting to the Board of Directors.
