I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"We're not short of ingredients for now. I've already found something delicious inside the tree trunk—look, a mimicry snow slug! It can reshape itself to resemble its surroundings to disguise itself; it's very cute."

"I never expected to hear the words 'delicious' and 'cute' from a girl at the same time. No wonder she's a child of the Landau family, she's truly unique."

"Trust me! This slug tastes amazing when grilled over a fire, kind of like a snow hamster."

The second one doesn't sound like a good-tasting pill either.

Chapter 250 The half-step to begging for mercy realm, one more step and you will transcend!

According to Hiluva's description of Hua Yi, Ling Ke always exudes an aura that keeps others at bay and rejects unnecessary social interactions.

As for what constitutes unnecessary social interaction, "Uh...aren't all social interactions unnecessary?", these are Reiko's exact words.

Aside from her family, she was only talkative with Pera. Otherwise, she avoided contact with others, was taciturn, and lacked expression, as if she had no interest in the people and things in Belleburg.

The older sister was concerned for her younger sister and was afraid that Ling Ke would act indifferent when she met Hua Yi, which would annoy the great hero. So she gave her a heads-up in advance.

She asked her sweetheart to forgive any possible oversights by her family, emphasized her sister's many virtues, and then, when she ran into Ling Ke, she turned to praising Hua Yi's heroic deeds.

As it turned out, Hiluva's worries were unnecessary.

Ling Ke was very enthusiastic towards Hua Yi. Although it wasn't the kind of enthusiasm that came from her tone of voice or the kind that made her eyes sparkle, it was still quite impressive for a girl with a languid demeanor.

Take out your treasured frozen sashimi, pair it with cute, fresh mimic snow slugs, add biscuit crumbs, cream, and canned herring, and you have a snowfield stew.

There was also frosty salmon bread, which was incredibly generous. No wonder they had to set up a tent to serve as a temporary kitchen and dining area.

Being able to drink a bowl of hot soup in the freezing cold, while warming yourself with a portable geothermal heater, is quite a treat.

"Ta-da, everything's ready!"

This time, Ling Ke's words were filled with obvious emotional fluctuations, and Pera also showed some nervousness and anticipation as she looked at Hua Yi.

He was approachable and easy to get along with, but the two girls hadn't forgotten that he was the King of Beloborg, who had previously been patrolling the snowfields, eliminating hidden phantom soldiers.

If a hero has done so much, it would be too pathetic if he couldn't even offer himself a little something good to eat.

"Please try it and see how it tastes."

"It smells so good it makes my mouth water; I feel like this hot, fragrant aroma can travel a long way."

Hua Yi picked up the thick soup that the two girls had made together, took a big gulp, and immediately switched into praise mode, giving Ling Ke and Pella the response they had been hoping for.

"Don't even mention me, if the first Great Guardian Alisa were here, she would also be tempted to eat a big meal."

"As long as it suits your taste..."

I'm a little embarrassed that they actually brought up the first Great Guardian.

Alisa, who was living in the lance, had no objections.

Anyway, Hua Yi is a benefactor to both me and Belloberg, so it doesn't matter what happens.

That's right, whatever he says goes.

The steaming aroma did indeed waft out, attracting several dire wolves that had been lurking nearby.

"Ouch."

The wolf howls drew closer, and the waning snowstorm gave them the opportunity to move quickly and pinpoint the location of the tent.

However, these animals, which have survived natural selection and tenaciously endured the harsh conditions of the icy wilderness, are unaware that they are heading towards death.

Hua Yin can patrol the area around Belloborg, venture deep into the cold wave to eliminate the Legion's expendable soldiers, and naturally he can also eliminate the beasts that at most would harm ordinary people.

Something convenient.

However, in order to protect the fragile ecological environment here and allow the space station's research team to conduct an on-site investigation, he did not take any action.

If a wolf is determined to seek its own death, Hua Yi chooses to grant it its wish.

There's no need to disrupt fate, nor is it necessary to draw upon much imaginary energy; a few strands are sufficient.

Charging ahead, the predator had already adjusted its center of gravity and was preparing to leap from the height. Before the beast could even let out a cry of pain, it was cut in half, then the second, then the third.

The two girls prepared a very generous portion of food, so there was no need for more. They took the direwolf's carcass back to Beloborg and handed it over to the Iron Guard at the city gate. They could distribute some meat to the soldiers, and the fur could be made into warm clothing.

The fourth direwolf had no idea what was happening. Wild beasts couldn't sense the rhythm of imaginary numbers; they only saw their companions' lives slipping away before their eyes.

Incomprehensible.

It stopped running, and then the fifth wolf approached from behind, overtook it, and then touched the invisible line between life and death, fell asleep, and never got up again.

This is a restricted area; touching it means certain death.

The only intelligent wolf in the pack gradually understood what was happening and made a muffled sound that was not aggressive at all.

"Woo..."

A howl is a horn used when hunting prey; when faced with unspeakable terror, there's no reason to continue charging.

In the vast starry sky, there are countless travelers who, through moments of life and death, gain enlightenment and embark on their destiny's journey...

The direwolf also broke through the life-or-death situation, begging for mercy from the unspeakable terror!

That's right, it didn't embark on its fate, but rather learned to beg for mercy.

This is the half-step begging for mercy realm, where "Awoo" is changed to "Woo".

If it takes another step forward, completely breaks through its limits, and achieves self-transformation, its whimpering will turn into "woof, woof," and the dire wolf will become the dire dog, transforming into humanity's most loyal animal companion.

It will be freed from the laws of nature and live a life free from worries about food and drink, and from now on it will only need to obey its master.

Discovering that there were some quick-witted lucky ones among the wolf pack, Hua Yi dissipated his imaginary energy with great interest, casually found a suitable rock to serve as a plate, placed some fish bones with a few bits of meat and soup on it, and pushed it towards the Icefield Wolves.

What exactly does a wolf do in its lifetime?

Hunting in the vast snowfields, searching for animals lurking under the snow, taking all living things as targets, and being a predator for life.

In the freezing cold, raw meat is nowhere near as delicious as the leftovers from the terrifying upright ape.

Hot food is better than cold food!

"Is that direwolf wagging its tail?"

Hua Yi didn't hide his actions as he pushed the fishbone out. Ling Ke and Pera looked along the moving rocks and saw the ferocious beast gnawing on the bone. Its tail, which should have been tucked between its legs during the hunt, was now swaying back and forth.

"It seems that the dire wolves have the potential to be domesticated by humans. I'll have the Silvermane Iron Guard keep an eye on them and see if we can tame their wildness and train them."

Of course, Hua Yi wouldn't personally handle such a trivial matter.

With a slight thought, he conjured a cold wind from the power of the star core, driving away the ice wolf, and continued to savor his bread and soup.

The half-step begging for mercy realm ultimately cannot achieve transcendence, break free from the shackles of natural laws, and obtain a secure job from the terrifying upright ape.

After experiencing great ups and downs, the direwolf disappeared into the snow with small, quick steps. Lingke and Pella, who witnessed the entire process of how the ferocious beast sheathed its fangs, remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.

"I feel this is a groundbreaking scientific discovery that will shake Belloberg, both in biology and philosophy."

Chapter 251 Take a picture of him

Lingke has extensive experience in polar expeditions.

Previously, relying on the combat power of the Fate Walkers, they could sneak out of the city and eliminate some Rift Monsters, thus relieving the pressure on the city's defenses.

When the girl encounters magnificent scenery along the way, she will take out her camera and snap a picture.

It could also be a photo of a camping chair, a blanket, or a glass of lukewarm milk.

Then Pera would draw based on the painting. She had superb painting skills and could always highlight the most beautiful parts of the scenery. The two good friends shared their results in this way, which was a peaceful daily routine.

Now, both Linco and Pera have discovered photos worth taking and paintings worth drawing.

The sky outside Belleburg was unusually clear, with no wind, no snow, and no clouds—a pristine and beautiful backdrop.

The makeshift tents and steaming soup pots serve as a perfect backdrop to the snow-covered plains, marking the traces of human activity.

And the person in the center of the picture.

——Crack.

The camera made a faint sound, which was particularly noticeable now that the wolf howls had stopped. He looked in the direction of the sound.

Oh no, we've been caught taking pictures.

Ling was in a panic.

She swore that she absolutely did not take the photos on purpose.

In the past, I only took pictures of landscapes, without needing to ask snowflakes or mountains, "May I take a picture of you?" It became a habit, but now that I'm taking pictures of certain people, I've completely forgotten to ask for permission.

Before the girl could continue to compose herself and even bow her head in apology, Hua Yi spoke first with a smile.

"You didn't just snap a picture of me with soup or water on my lips, did you? That would be so embarrassing! Is it too late to wipe my mouth now? Or should I pay a huge sum of Winter City Shields as hush money to keep this embarrassing photo quiet?"

"No, your face is very clean. You can check if you don't believe me!"

"Let me wipe my mouth first."

"...I mean you can check the photos I took."

"Oh my, it seems that in addition to Belloberg's title as a first-rate polar explorer, he should also be called a first-rate photographer. Your composition is really good."

"This is my first time photographing people, um, excluding the selfies I used to take for memories."

“You’re quite gifted, Linco. I feel like you two have a lot in common. It’s all because your Snowfield Stew and Frosty Salmon Bread were so delicious that I almost forgot myself. As long as I didn’t embarrass myself, I can save that Winter City Shield.”

The subtext is that you can handle the photos as you like, and I have given my permission.

After calming down the shy Ling Ke with a few words and praising her and Pera's cooking skills, Hua Yi lightly changed the subject.

"We should head back after we've packed our things."

"it is good."

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we returned to Beloborg from the snowfield, instantly returning from the desolate, icy wilderness to the human realm.

Winter City is now more bustling than when the Star Train first arrived. People are interacting on both upper and lower levels, and their faces are full of hope.

Humanity's home needs to be built by humanity itself, and the collective emotions of the people form the core of Belloberg's work.

This color is bright, absolutely bright.

It was supposed to contain some minor impurities.

The simply dressed miners took the cable car back to the ground, gazing at the boundless blue sky, their necks craned to see the scenery that the people above had long been accustomed to and were all too familiar with.

The children's exclamations evoked a mix of emotions in the adults. If the upper-class residents were unaware of the suffering in the underworld and failed to empathize, they might think these people were making a fuss over nothing.

Even if a simple miner walks into a restaurant, cautiously trying to buy some dishes that are unavailable in the lower-class areas, the well-dressed upper-class people might still find them dirty.

Hua Yi anticipated the potential problems and announced early on that the lower district was experiencing boundary erosion, causing the residents of Rivet Town to be displaced and the Earth Fire to struggle to maintain order.

Therefore, Cocolia must resign to demonstrate the weight of this suffering and eliminate the subtle rift that has been emerging between the upper and lower levels of the Belloberg.

The opening of the history and culture museum included photos of the underground fire red ribbon and the lower area, while also bringing back the cannons from the Iron Guard front line on the ground, displaying them in the exhibition hall alongside the battered armor, which served as a supplement to help people understand each other.

Previously, Seele mentioned that the upper class was wasting food, so Hua Yi ordered a reorganization of the city builders. Many people were imprisoned and, while passively contributing resources to the construction of Beloborg, it served as a wake-up call.

Even the proud and arrogant scions of wealthy families must show goodwill to the miners, who are a group of people who have been quietly dedicated to the preservation of Belberg by the new king's own hand.

It was precisely because Cripperburg improved the miners' wages that they had extra money to buy good food at restaurants.

It wasn't that Belloberg instantly became perfect just because Hua Yi sealed the star core; it was a series of interconnected events that led to the current stable situation.

The city was bustling enough, but Lingke and Pera were distracted.

Should I show my polar expedition findings to Sister Shiluwa as usual? What used to be scenery has now become Hua Yi's photos.

Should I draw based on Reiko's photos as usual?

Draw him.

Lost in thought, the two unconsciously followed Hua Yi and were led all the way back to Kripper Castle.

“I’ve never seen Cocolia read novels before. She said that such things are a complete waste of time. But now she’s probably read one all night. Look at her, she’s almost got dark circles under her eyes.”

"……No."

"Still being stubborn. I remember what happened in the past clearly, 837, those were your exact words!"
