Star Dome Railway, why are they also simulating!

[Hearing your choice, Shiluwa did not say anything. Although she had some unrealistic fantasies about the Beloberg Academy of Sciences, she did not interfere with your choice.]

[You continue to work as Shiluwa's assistant and start today's mechanical research. Time passes quickly...]

[In order to avoid being discovered by the Silver Mane Iron Guards, you used to go to the Mechanical House every day and decided to go there only once a week. You spend most of your time in your old apartment doing research and learning some new cutting-edge technologies.]

[Your hiding seems to be very effective. Although the Iron Guards gave you a three-day deadline, not only did nothing happen after three days, but even a month has passed quickly and the Iron Guards have not found you. I think you are completely safe now...]

[As a result, you have let down your guard a little, and have been going to the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House more often. You have also been studying more diligently, and have tried to update your [Anti-Gravity Module] design.]

[With your efforts, you have obtained two new designs - [Anti-gravity Module·Gravel Shape] and [Anti-gravity Module·Giant Rock Shape]. ]

[They are applied to micro-design and large-scale design respectively, and you have lit up a new link in the technology tree of the anti-gravity module. ]

[A long period of peaceful life passed. Just when you thought you would spend your life peacefully, there was a knock on your door...]

The text on the screen faded, and a new picture appeared on it:

Late at night, Ron was sitting at the dining table, surrounded by scattered paper balls. On the table was a piece of white paper with complicated lines drawn on it.

He hesitated for a long time with the pen in his hand, poked the tip of the pen on the white paper, and finally sighed, crumpled up the paper and threw it aside...

The new design troubled Ron for a long time and he suddenly reached a bottleneck.

"Let's take a break and try again..."

Just as he was about to take a break, there was a sudden, light knock on the door.

Ron was slightly startled and looked at the night outside. For a moment he was confused as to who would come to his door at this time.

He opened the door cautiously and looked outside.

The Great Guardian of Beloberg was standing quietly outside the door, looking at Ron:

"What a great counter-reconnaissance! You made it so hard for me to find you, Ron..."

Cocolia looked at Ron's shocked expression and showed a teasing smile on her face:

"Why are you so surprised to see me? Didn't I say before that I hoped to meet you?"

"And...won't you invite me in to sit down, my captain of the guard?"

..........................................................

PS: I wrote 5,500 words today. The decimal places of 500 words are not counted. I have paid back 1,000 words. I owed 19,000 before, so now I owe 18,000.

Well, buddy, I can only say that what I said before about the explosion is true, and I am just warming up now - you may not know, I am actually a slow warmer.

You can't rush writing a book. Look, I got 5,500 today, so won't I get 6,500 tomorrow? The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, that'll be 7,000 or 8,000. I know this is a dream, but believe me, I'm really going to start updating!

PS2: I recommend this book from my good brother:

"People in Tokyo, their minds are controlled"

Arima Ryosuke thought he had just traveled to Tokyo in a parallel world, but he didn't expect that this place was completely different from the original world.

A girl who is jealous of the perfect brother-sister relationship. On the surface, she is a good girl on the edge of the classroom, but secretly she has software that controls her mind functions.

The well-behaved sister seems harmless, but in fact she is holding a pocket watch that can stop time.

The senior who has been single for a long time tries to put some mysterious medicine in her lunch box.

Such incidents are really happening one after another.

After being attacked by a murderer and escaping by chance, Arima Ryosuke finally realized that this might be the "other world" that his friend mentioned before he traveled through time.

In order to "survive" in such a world, Mr. Arima struggled painfully.

Anyone who uses shameful means will be punished!

Any props will be brought to justice!

Chapter 4 - Cocolia: Ron, get☆daze! (5k)

"......ah?"

Ron looked at the words on the light screen and was somewhat confused for a moment.

How come Cocolia really came to visit him... You are the great guardian, Cocolia, is it really necessary for you to pay so much attention to a small researcher like him who draws blueprints?

Ron felt somewhat helpless. He thought he had been cautious enough. In order to avoid Cocolia, he even spent a certain amount of energy every day to conduct counter-reconnaissance operations like a spy...

This lasted for a whole month. He thought that things had become much safer after this month, so Ron relaxed his actions a little, shifting his energy from anti-reconnaissance operations to researching new technologies. However, he did not expect that just two days after he relaxed his anti-reconnaissance operations, Cocolia came to him directly...

Why does Cocolia care about him so much?

Ron was puzzled——

Although he knew that he had begun to show his talent in this simulation despite his best efforts to conceal it, anyone with a little ability would know how genius the design of the anti-gravity module was. It was normal for people to pay attention to him, but Cocolia was really paying too much attention to him...

More than a month had passed in the simulation, and Cocolia was still tirelessly trying to find him. After finding him, she would rather risk her life and go to his house alone in the middle of the night just to see him in person...

It’s still the same question as before - why?

Why does Cocolia value him so much?

Ron frowned and rubbed his chin, feeling that something was wrong.

Although he knew that it was not a big risk for Kokolia to come alone late at night -

After all, as the great guardian of Beloberg, the complete power of "miracle" resonates in her body. Even if the Spear of Preservation is not as powerful as the burning fire in the time of Alisa Rand, just by raising the spear, the divine blessing from the Amber King can tear the sky apart. Cocolia still has a power that others can't match, enough to destroy all enemies standing in her way.

But as the Grand Guardian, she should not come in person... The Iron Guards of Klipperburg are extremely loyal to Cocolia and are absolutely willing to tie up a researcher who is drawing blueprints in the old apartment and carry him directly to the Guardian's residence. Why would she condescend to come in person?

And... Cocolia actually remembered that she was the captain of her guard?

Klipperburg is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Beloberg city, except for the Beloberg business district that has been eroded by the Rift. There are at least 800 guards controlled by Cocolia, and a standard team can be formed with 20 people. Although Ron is the captain of the guard, to put it bluntly, he is just an old gatekeeper with a higher rank.

A captain of the guard like him could arrange a total of six people, and he was not conspicuous among them. Cocolia had never looked at Ron directly when she entered and left Klipperburg. Theoretically speaking, Cocolia would see Ron mostly when she saw his name on the roster of the Klipperburg Iron Guard, and then her eyes would flash by and she would no longer care about Ron, a small iron guard.

But now Cocolia's tone was so intimate, as if he was not the captain of Cocolia's guards before, but the captain of Cocolia's guards...

Not right, not right.

Although Ron admitted that the design of the anti-gravity module was indeed a miracle, and that this miracle technology had brought a new turn for the world, otherwise Ron would not have kept clicking on this technology tree to the extreme to see if this technology could ultimately bring about any decisive impact...

But this is only something to be expected in the future. Right now, it is far from being very effective, and Cocolia should never take it so seriously.

Moreover, even if the design of the anti-gravity module was too brilliant, and Cocolia was very far-sighted, she knew at the first sight that this design would definitely bring a turnaround for Beloberg, so she shouldn't take it too seriously.

She is still in the period of being bewitched by the star core. In this simulation, there is no "panacea" from Ron and Natasha to help Cocolia get rid of the bewitching feeling. She is still pursuing the destruction brought by the star core and the "rebirth" after the destruction. How could she be so concerned about these technological designs that can obviously lead the entire Beloberg to a better future...

The most likely possibility is to simply ignore it and deal with it coldly. The most ruthless possibility is to assassinate the researcher and completely bury the technology. They should not restart the Beloberg Academy of Sciences and keep looking for him to enter the academy to study technology. It's as if they suddenly woke up and wanted to continue to protect Beloberg...

Ron thought for a long time, and the picture on the screen gradually faded, and new words popped up on it:

[Perhaps because you relaxed your anti-reconnaissance operations, your peaceful life was completely disrupted tonight.]

[On this moonlit night, the Great Guardian Cocolia Rand knocked on your door and greeted you very friendly.]

[This incident has stirred up a storm in your heart - who on earth turned Cocolia into this, and what is Cocolia thinking? ]

The note on the light screen gradually faded, and new options appeared on the light screen:

[Countless questions echo in your mind, but now is not the time to think about them. ]

[You have a problem to solve urgently - should you invite Cocolia into your home and have a good chat, or should you close the door immediately and let her be alone in the night covered with starlight? ]

[You need to make a choice for this——]

[1. Invite Cocolia.

Since Cocolia is so persistent, you can't help but doubt Cocolia's situation.

Is Cocolia still bewitched by the star core? Is she a fool bewitched by the star core, or is she the wisest mind in Beloberg who once won the first place in the Beloberg Academy with an absolute advantage?

You decide to give Cocolia a chance... have a good chat with her and see what she really thinks.

By choosing this option, you will invite Cocolia into your home, which may trigger events such as "Secret Talk at the Academy of Sciences" and "Rebuilding the Academy of Sciences".

【2. Reject Cocolia.

Cocolia is so persistent that you can't help but wonder what Cocolia wants to do...

You don't trust Cocolia. Theoretically, she has no ability to resist the temptation of the star core, nor any reason to escape from it. You think Cocolia must be harboring evil intentions.

You decide to reject Cocolia immediately, shut her out, and avoid any contact with her.

By choosing this option, you will refuse to invite Cocolia into your home, which will inevitably trigger the event: "Break the door by force".

Possible triggering events: "Secret Talks at the Academy of Sciences", "Rebuilding the Academy of Sciences". 】

Looking at the options on the light screen, Ron temporarily suppressed his countless questions in his heart and was speechless for a moment.

"So no matter whether I choose to invite her or refuse, Cocolia will break into my house, talk to me about the Academy of Sciences, and start rebuilding the Academy of Sciences, right?"

"This is about breaking the door with force... You are the Great Guardian, Cocolia, can you be a little more polite and behave like a Great Guardian?"

Ron rubbed his temple helplessly, but he didn't feel too unhappy about it.

Because although the results of these two choices are the same, they are both the results that Ron wants to see, and there is no feeling of forcing him to choose a certain option -

Even if the result of option two was not that Cocolia broke through by force, Ron would actually choose option one to ensure that he could trigger a secret talk with Cocolia.

The reason is very simple. Not to mention that there are only two possible triggering events for option number one, neither of which is a bad thing. Even if option number one is chosen, Ron has the opportunity to choose to refuse after talking with Cocolia. This time, the communication with Cocolia has simply become a form of information collection.

Even if he really had to listen to Cocolia and become a researcher at the Beloberg Academy of Sciences after choosing option one, Ron felt that it was not impossible to give it a try.

If you ask Ron the reason, he can only say that Cocolia in the last simulation completely saved her reputation... She is really too reliable.

Just looking at Cocolia's performance in the last simulation, and seeing that Cocolia spent a whole month looking for him in this simulation and even visited him in person to show her sincerity, Ron felt that he could give it a try this time.

Thinking this in his mind, Ron clicked option number one. The options on the light screen gradually faded, and new text appeared on it:

[After much thought, you decide to have some trust in the Great Guardian. ]

[You opened the door, silently made a gesture of invitation, led Cocolia into the room, and took her to sit in the narrow living room of the apartment.]

[You poured her a cup of your usual energy drink, sat in front of her and looked at her quietly, waiting for Cocolia to speak.]

[Cocolia acted decisively without any delay. She took the drink you poured for her and took a sip. Then she put it aside and looked at you seriously.]

[Event: "Secret Talks at the Academy of Sciences" has been triggered——]

The text on the screen faded, and a new picture appeared on it:

Cocolia was sitting on the old sofa in Ron's apartment, looking at Ron and saying seriously:

"I won't go into any more small talk... I intend to restart the Beloberg Academy of Sciences and resume Beloberg's cutting-edge technological research. As the developer of the anti-gravity module, you have obviously reached the forefront in the field of mechanical design."

Cocolia said, with an expectant look on her face:

"I sent someone to look for you a few days ago. Although a month has passed, the invitation is still valid—"

"Ron, are you willing to join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences and contribute to the research of cutting-edge technology?"

The image on the light screen paused, and new options appeared on it:

[As you expected, Cocolia just wants to restart the Beloberg Academy of Sciences, so she invites you to join and contribute to the research of cutting-edge technology. ]

[Do you agree to Cocolia's request to join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences? ]

[You fall into deep thought for a moment and need to make a choice——]

【1. Agree to Cocolia’s request.

It doesn't feel good to do scientific research alone. Although you have the help of Sylva, the income from the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House is so little that it can barely provide people with food and drink. Although your income is steadily increasing after the share of the anti-gravity module, compared with various experimental equipment, this little income is really a drop in the bucket.

You know that you will only waste time if you continue like this, and the recent scientific research progress has been hindered to some extent due to the lack of experimental equipment.

But after joining the Beloberg Academy of Sciences, all these problems will be solved. The most complete laboratory configuration will solve all these troubles. Cocolia is already friendly enough, and you don't have to worry about it anymore.

You decide to agree to Cocolia's request and join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences.

Selecting this option will trigger a fixed event: "Rebuilding the Academy of Sciences". 】

【2. Reject Cocolia’s request.

Although the experimental equipment of the Beloberg Academy of Sciences is quite attractive to you, you still don't believe in Cocolia.

In order to avoid falling into the tiger's mouth, you decided to reject Cocolia's request and continue to overcome difficulties with your current conditions and carry out scientific research bit by bit.

If you choose this option, you will return to your normal life as if nothing happened, and Cocolia will not ask you to join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences.
