I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"The train should thank Cripperburg for providing temporary accommodation; we could actually pay for the room."

At first glance, they seem to be chatting and laughing, getting along well, and politely trying not to take advantage of each other. But upon closer examination of their words, it's clear they're trying to steal each other away.

Which identity—the king who saves and rules Beloberg, or the nameless guest who travels the heavens—is Hua Yi more fond of?

As for the Black Tower Space Station, since the people from there haven't arrived yet, they can't participate in the competition for the time being.

It should be like this.

Buzz, buzz buzz buzz.

Hua Yi's smart terminal vibrated, accompanied by a notification sound that only his verified contacts would emit.

The multi-window projection interface, which was not yet closed, popped up a video communication request.

Black Tower.

The girls in Belloberg weren't quite sure what the name meant, but Himeko understood the weight of genius. She raised an eyebrow and gestured for Hua Yi to answer the phone first. If it was something important, she could find an excuse to take everyone away first.

Hua Yi understood what the navigator meant.

Just kidding. Everyone here is a trustworthy girl. Heita and I are completely innocent, there's nothing to hide.

Even if it's Estádio calling, it's still a purely platonic relationship. Since the interstellar communication base station was repaired, Hua Yi has already video-chatted with her several times. If they were to contact each other in this kind of situation, it would just mean saying less intimate sweet nothings.

He decisively pressed the accept button, and the terminal projected the figure of the Black Tower puppet, showing Hua Yi's situation to the other side.

The girls gathered around wanted to move aside to make sure that only Hua Yi was in the frame, but Xing stood there dumbfounded, blocking the way. Bronya, Seele, and the others were a beat too slow.

"You're surrounded by a lot of people?"

The Black Tower doll asked the question casually, showing little emotion and even little curiosity.

But the girls in Bellberg's camp immediately felt something was wrong. Could it be that someone who knew Hua Yi earlier, and was even more like the main wife than Xing, had written her down in their little notebook?

"Not too many, but they are all trustworthy girls."

Hearing Hua Yi's answer and observing the petite Black Tower doll, Shiluwa and Natasha felt something was off.

The true owner of the Black Tower space station seems to be younger than Bronya and Seele, but looks close to Clara.

Is Hua Yi's relationship with her... very close?

"You want me to test the simulated universe? Belloberg hasn't fully stabilized yet, it's best to wait a while longer."

“I’ve seen the data packets you sent to the space station. [Storage] City of Protection, some data can be used to improve the simulated universe. Those messy monsters in the star core can also serve as a foil—we can wait for you.”

Black Tower glanced at Xing, who was standing next to Hua Yi.

Only this Star Core Essence is worthy of a genius's attention; Belloberg's Fate Walker is not enough to gain her notice.

"What was the Star Core Imp's reaction when she encountered a second Star Core? Didn't you try stuffing a Star Core into her body to see if she could evolve into a dual-core drive?"

"Everything is normal. How could such a dangerous thing as a star core be implanted into the body so casually? I sealed it away."

"it's a pity."

The doll-like girl casually glanced at the background of the museum where Hua Yi was, easily judging the level of technology in Bellberg.

"You left the space station and boarded the Star Train just to play house and run a museum?"

"This is a good time to relax and have fun after the crisis is over. I gained a much deeper understanding of [preservation] in Belleburg."

"Oh, it's beyond [intellectual] level?"

I can't hold it in anymore, even Black Tower is asking this kind of question.

On the surface, it's a discussion about destiny, but in reality, it still falls into the category of "Black Tower Space Station or Belloborg, which do you prefer?"

Considering that [Guardian] Cripper has already lowered his eyes, while [Knowledge] Boshi Zun has not yet shown his presence or locked onto a star with extraordinary wisdom, in terms of Hua Yi's understanding of destiny, Guardian has indeed surpassed Knowledge.

But let's not tell the truth, Yi.

"How can the paths of destiny be compared so casually? I have great respect for the truths of the universe."

Deceiving the star god with a heart full of awe.

"Alright, now that things are done there, let's come back and test the simulated universe."

Chapter 233 Before the arrogant girl could even ask for punishment, Hook demanded a test.

The video communication from Black Tower came suddenly and ended just as quickly.

There was no small amount of sweet talk or concern; they didn't even ask Hua Yi about his specific experiences in Belleburg.

In the Black Tower's mouth, the Star Core seemed to have become a harmless toy, and the great cause of saving the world seemed to be something commonplace. Hua Yi said it casually, and she listened casually.

Unfortunately, there's also the term "simulated universe," which the young girl from Bellberg knows very little about, but from what she's heard, it seems extremely detached.

The conversation was open and honest, and anyone could sense a connection between Hei Ta and Hua Yi that bound them together—seemingly casual, but in reality, very strong.

That genius was certainly not like Belloberg, who owed the savior so much but had no way to repay him or any decent return.

She and he have a healthier, more mutually beneficial relationship.

The Black Tower Space Station is a world-renowned hub of intelligence, and its master is an unimaginable presence in the desolate city amidst the snowstorm.

It can really help Hua Yi.

Bronya, Natasha, and the others were lost in thought, and the scene quieted down.

"As you can see, Black Tower has a distinct personality. What just appeared was a doll; as for the real her, I haven't seen her yet."

"Hmph, Black Tower still calls me Star Core Kid. The name Galaxy Bat Man is gradually spreading, okay? This is damaging my glorious image! Besides, the Black Tower doll is so short at 363cm, the real person might not be that tall either. It's hard to say who the kid is."

Although Xing's extraordinary wisdom has not yet been recognized by the learned and knowledgeable, Hua Yi cast an admiring glance at her.

Galaxy Batmen have always done a great job of creating a lively atmosphere.

"In conclusion, today's museum management game has come to a successful end, and everyone performed very well."

The video communication from the Black Tower made the girl from Belloberg vaguely aware of the gap, but it also indirectly allowed Seele, who lost the game, to escape punishment.

Hua Yi had reason to believe that she wouldn't be satisfied with his casual remark, "I'll punish you by making you eat the rest of the snacks."

You must punish me severely!

Sometimes, being arrogant can be a bit stubborn and doesn't think things through long-term. If Hua Yi were to follow his heart and say in front of so many people, "Fine, then you lie down and I'll spank you hard," Xi'er would be mortified.

Sigh, this is really difficult, you're so proud and stubborn.

Hua Yi cast a sighing gaze at Xi'er, leaving the latter puzzled.

Hearing that the Black Tower was testing and simulating the universe and casually mentioning something as terrifying as a star core, the proud girl felt complicated.

In comparison, trying to get a low score in a regular management game is really childish.

When she noticed Hua Yi looking at her again, Xi'er didn't react for a moment. She remembered that the loser would be punished, and she was still feeling down because she could only spend her time on trivial matters.

Having failed to perform well and being stared at by him, Xi'er has now become a girl who cares about her image, turning her head away to avoid Hua Yi's gaze.

"Then—meeting adjourned!"

Remembering that Hook and Clara had only recently arrived in the upper district, Hua Yi called out to Natasha and asked her to tell the two girls that if they felt bored, they could come and explore the museum as a place to spend time.

Clara is quiet and reserved, not the type to chase and play around with her friends or make a lot of noise, while Hook is full of energy.

I can almost picture her causing trouble at the museum.

However, we cannot ignore this person's upbringing.

Despite the harsh conditions in the lower zone ravaged by the rift, Hook was still able to grow up healthy and show a lively and cheerful personality, which was by no means because she was ignorant or did not understand the hardships of the miners' lives.

Never underestimate a Fate Walker, especially one who ventures into dangerous areas to secretly eliminate Rift Monsters.

When it was time for him to be sensible, Hooke was quite sensible.

Hua Yi believed her.

We had a great time today. The girls experienced a realistic simulation game, chatted together, ate delicious food, and then naturally went home when night fell.

Almost everyone present lived in Cripperburg, except for Silva, who had a perpetual motion machine house.

She was struggling with her decision when Xing grabbed her arm.

Watch my every move.

Yesterday it was Hua Yi and I who were together, so why don't you take your place today?

We take turns, and we'll make it even.

Galaxy Batman was conveying this message with his eyes, which Shiluwa couldn't fully understand, but seeing her winking and glancing at Hua Yi repeatedly, she understood a little.

Having tasted the sweetness, the older sister truly wanted to stay close to her lover, and faced with this hint, she simply couldn't bring herself to say anything modest.

Can't stop.

Oh, I simply couldn't resist Hua Yi's temptation.

Thank you.

Hiluva's eyes were full of sincerity, and she felt that Xing's figure was really tall.

How selfless, how tolerant!

The blonde woman gratefully accepted, and then tiptoed out to carry out her plan.

"Big brother!"

Then they saw Hu Ke running across the corridor with Clara and excitedly bursting into Hua Yi's room.

Ah, is this considered a night raid?

"Sister Natasha said that Brother Huayi allows us to volunteer at the museum? We can go every day, and we don't need to buy tickets!"

"Have you been converted to a volunteer? — Yes, I authorized it."

"Then my honorary teammates and I will let Brother Hua Yi test us together!"

"You guys are making things harder for yourselves."

Hua Yi fully understands the current situation.

Natasha was worried that Hook might cause trouble at the museum, so she gave him special instructions.

"Actually, I believe in Hook and Clara's abilities."

"No, volunteering is a very important job that I must take seriously. Please test me as you wish, big brother!"

"Do you want me to do this for real?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then I ask you to unravel the mystery of the Star Gods, write a paper on their process and principles of ascending to godhood, as well as their interaction patterns with destiny, and submit it to me."

"Eh?"

Hook blinked his big eyes twice, barely able to understand the words Hua Yi was saying, but when those words were strung together into phrases or sentences, he couldn't understand them at all.

Who am I and where am I?

What is the older brother saying?

Clarabi Hooke knew a little more and understood that the Star God was a very sublime and mysterious being, and that such a test seemed to be far beyond the capabilities of the museum volunteers.

But instead of protesting to Hua Yi, the introverted and well-behaved girl offered a soft and gentle apology.

"I'm sorry, Clara doesn't know the answer to this question..."

"Change the course! Hook wants to change the course! Or, big brother, ask Hook what a fox sounds like; I know that."

Chapter 234 Interview

Hook grabbed Hua Yi's hand and shook it back and forth, pleading with him.

In the past, I would sneak out of the clinic, run to the mechanical settlement to find a suitable weapon, and then run to the Rift Erosion Area to fight monsters, which would get me scolded by my sister Natasha.

But she continued to do things her own way.

Because Hook knew this wasn't a bad thing; Natasha was just worried about her own safety, and eliminating the monsters would be good for the safety of more people in the lower levels.
