I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"Is it because the Department of Applied Physics assigned you a bad dorm room? Is the bed too hard, the pillow not soft enough, or the soundproofing of the walls inadequate?"

"No, I simply can't sleep because I have so much energy."

"Come to my office now, I want to see just how energetic you really are."

After sending the message, Aistar stood up and took out a folding recliner from the locker. It was purchased at a high price from Huanyu Jiapin and claimed to have received technical support from the star of the event, Pinocchio. It was said to allow people to peacefully drift into a sweet dream and enjoy high-quality sleep. As for concepts such as ergonomic design, they were just basic selling points.

The girl even placed a brand new pillow on it, the same model as her favorite high-comfort sleep pillow.

She even had her lines ready—"Hua Yi, your dark circles are so thick, and you still say you're full of energy? Deceiving the stationmaster must be severely punished. I order you to lie down in that chair and sleep right now, no more excuses!"

Seriously, that guy needs to be taught a lesson about the stationmaster's authority.

Chapter 32 The Station Master's Guilty Feelings

"Have you had breakfast yet?... No, don't eat breakfast now, you should still sleep."

As soon as Hua Yi entered the stationmaster's office, he found himself facing a barrage of questions from Aista.

"But if you're really starving and it's to the point where you can't sleep, it's always better to eat something."

Before he could give an answer, the conclusion he had just reached was overturned by the girl herself. Hua Yi let the stationmaster get closer, leaning forward, her pink, shoulder-length short hair falling down with the movement, showing a unique luster under the light.

Those big blue eyes were staring intently at him, scrutinizing him.

"Huh, no dark circles? How is that possible? Did you hide them somehow? No, you need to go to sleep right now."

"Can I explain myself?"

"cannot!"

Estella had already made her move, pushing someone's lower back towards the recliner.

She didn't use much force, and was a little worried that Hua Yi, who wasn't well-rested, would be knocked over by her sudden push. Fortunately, he was quite cooperative. All the girl needed to do was apply a little pressure with her fingertips as she touched Hua Yi's back to guide him toward his destination.

The station manager specifically chose a dark spot to ensure that Hua Yi wouldn't look directly at the office lights and have his sleep disturbed.

Even the impact of the air circulation system was within Estádio's consideration. Although the temperature on the space station was kept within the range most comfortable for the human body, people who were asleep were more likely to feel cold, so he couldn't be allowed to sleep in a draft.

Since the girl had gone to such lengths to prepare for him, Hua Yi couldn't refuse outright and obediently lay down on the chair.

"Don't forget the two articles Ms. Black Tower requested, stationmaster."

"I remember, don't think about those things, close your eyes."

"..."

There's a kind of tiredness that others perceive in you.

Hua Yi was certain that even if she went to the medical department for a physical examination now and showed Aisda her health data report, Aisda would still feel like she wasn't getting enough sleep.

Fortunately, closing one's eyes does not mean wasting time. The brief contact with the guardian star god Kripper in the simulated universe has revealed a different path from [intelligence]. Even if the simulated universe cannot be simply equated with the real world, it is equivalent to having a template of great reference value.

Estella had no idea that the clerk she had been taking such good care of, though seemingly with her eyes closed, was actually still thinking at lightning speed. She clapped her hands silently, with a sense of accomplishment.

Sitting back down at her desk, the station manager glanced at Hua Yi out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that he was no longer speaking and was lying there quietly, she thought he had really fallen asleep.

The girl smiled serenely and contentedly, speeding up the process of processing the documents in her hands.

While the actual manager of the entire space station was still busy, a staff member was openly sleeping in her office, even though it was at the station commander's repeated request. Such a scene was quite delicate, but Aista felt a strange sense of peace.

My mood improved, which in turn boosted my work efficiency.

Let's take Hua Yi there to see it after he wakes up...

We can't forget to arrange meals either. Did this guy have dinner yesterday? A simple dinner isn't enough; we need to add a midnight snack. After all, he was in the World Seed Science late at night with Lady Black Tower, and Lady Black Tower would never consider whether anyone else is hungry.

With this thought in mind, Estádio quietly operated her personal terminal and asked Lamina in the Hua Yi fan club's group chat.

Did Hua Yi eat anything while working in the office yesterday?

"It seems not. I didn't see any plates when I was tidying up my desk, and there were no food wrappers in the trash can either."

Sure enough, this guy didn't eat properly at all.

"Huh? Brother Hua Yi, have you been hungry all afternoon?"

It's clear that the other members in the chat group have set their contacts to be on their "special attention" list, so they'll pop up whenever there's new content.

"Does anyone know what Lord Hua Yi likes to eat? I want to send some food to his office. Does Lamina have an access card? Please, just open the door for me, please."

"No, that won't do. Allowing members from other departments into a private office without authorization is a violation of regulations."

"Tch, it's not like you can just go anywhere if you're from the same department. I'm going too. Besides, Hua Yi was originally from the Secret Documents Department, and Lamina from the World Seeds Department was his assistant. That doesn't make sense for a space station."

The chat group was full of hidden talents, including members from various departments. Seeing that Emily from the Secret Scrolls Department might be arguing with a member of the World Species Department, Estella immediately used her anonymous identity to ease the atmosphere in the chat group.

"Since Hua Yi may not have eaten properly, it wouldn't be against the rules for us to bring some food to his office. Lamina can take it in."

"Yes, yes, yes, the anonymous person is right!"

"It would be best to have Shih-ling use the equipment from the Applied Physics Department to check it and confirm the food safety. You can't send expired items."

"Sure, where's Lamina? Let's agree on a meeting place."

"Well, I'm already in my office. Lord Hua Yi hasn't arrived yet."

As the topic progressed and concerned the idol's current situation, the group chat became increasingly active, with many people participating in the discussion.

"Could it be in the realm of species?"

"Impossible, otherwise I would have received the news long ago."

"Perhaps Lady Black Tower has entrusted Lord Hua Yi with an important project. It seems that being a Level IV clerk is not his final goal."

"Being able to conduct research alongside a genius, Brother Hua Yi will definitely become even more amazing!"

The group chat started flooded with messages, and Aista shrank back, suddenly feeling a little guilty.

The Lord Hua Yi you're talking about is sleeping in my office right now.

This definitely can't be posted in a chat group, otherwise it will attract everyone's attention and even cause public outrage. Then a group of people will search department by department to find out who is spouting nonsense online, and finally find out that the anonymous person is the station manager of the space station, and she didn't lie. Who knows what kind of storm it will cause.

Aistar stuck out her tongue and immediately closed the chat interface, as if if she kept it open for a while, the group chat members would track her down by following the network signal.

Remembering that Hua Yi hadn't eaten much yesterday, the girl glanced reproachfully at the recliner again, then gently swiped her index finger on the touchscreen to give instructions to the space station's cooking robots, asking them to be on standby at all times, prepare the most delicious ingredients in the space station, and complete the cooking as quickly as possible and deliver it to the stationmaster's office when Hua Yi woke up.

Chapter 33 Hope to Share

Ordinary people, whether intentionally or unintentionally, step into a destiny governed by the star gods, and from then on become practitioners of their ideals.

Are people following their own hearts, practicing the ideas of the Star God, or embarking on a specific destiny with the Star God, only the Star God has gone extremely far and deep...? These philosophical and theological questions are not the focus of Hua Yi's exploration. He only needs to know that under normal circumstances, those who walk the path of destiny are all on a single path.

Even though humans possess seven emotions and six desires and have extremely active minds, when faced with various destinies representing different ideals, they can only choose one.

Does destiny naturally exclude those who follow other destinies?

Just like the experts and scholars on the Black Tower space station, if they could embark on the path of destiny, they would most likely choose [intellectual knowledge]. However, a considerable number of people here also advocate [preservation]. Even if there are differences in the strength of their emotions, it should be reflected in going further on the path of intellectual knowledge and going a little slower on the path of preservation, rather than having to choose one of the two.

Perhaps the threshold for becoming a practitioner of another destiny is too high, and an individual's energy is limited. When most of one's thoughts are focused on a particular destiny, even if some other ideas arise, it is far from enough to become a practitioner of another destiny.

Regardless of the possibility, it all suggests that using imaginary energy to stir up the River of Fate, in a way that differs from that of the Fate Walkers, is a more flexible and appropriate choice.

The only thing to be careful about is not letting the Star God discover you, lest this unconventional madman be labeled with some kind of tag, tied to a specific destiny, or even cause more serious consequences.

After briefly estimating the time, Hua Yi stopped his attempt to simulate his destiny deep within his consciousness, opened his eyes, and Estella, who had deliberately finished her work quickly, spoke softly as if she had been waiting for him to wake up.

"Are you hungry?"

"There's a kind of drowsiness that others perceive as drowsy, and a kind of hunger that others perceive as hunger. If I say I'm not hungry, would you believe me?"

"Of course I don't believe you! You haven't been eating properly at all!"

Even before asking, Estella had already instructed the cooking robot, which had been waiting for a long time, to take immediate action and prepare the pre-processed ingredients into a delicious dish within ten minutes.

"Wait a moment, the food will be delivered soon."

As Hua Yi accepted the fruit and milk offered by the girl, he felt that in Aisda's eyes, he was a fragile clerk in a sub-healthy state who needed to be taken care of in every way, otherwise he would break apart if she was not careful.

In reality, even genuine patients wouldn't receive the care of the space station commander; they should go to the medical department for treatment.

Seeing Hua Yi drink a large glass of fruit milk in one gulp, Aisda nodded in satisfaction.

“I’ve finished writing the article that Ms. Black Tower requested. You don’t need to worry about the rest. If you’re really interested in those trivial details that aren’t too much trouble, I’ll take you somewhere after we finish eating.”

"Really? But the more I understand Estella, the more I hope that beautiful and kind girls can be happy."

"I'll gladly accept this compliment, but how can you tell I'm unhappy?"

Tilting her head slightly, the stationmaster asked a question in return. Her heart warmed, and the delicate, pretty face could no longer maintain the feigned stern expression she used when giving orders.

The girl smiled slightly, lost in thought.

"Thinking back carefully, I..."

"Your meal has been delivered. Please enjoy."

This time, the food delivery robot was no longer just bringing a tray; it controlled an electronic cart, and as the sealed lid opened, the steaming aroma of food instantly filled Estella's office with a misty haze.

"You eat more."

"Is this enough for the two of us to eat? It seems the stationmaster has a good appetite today."

"That's right, that's right, I have a good appetite, so I can eat about 30% of the food. The remaining 70% is up to you~"

With a smile, Estelle assigned tasks to the two of them in a few words, her eyes, hidden beneath her pink bangs, revealing a hint of cunning.

But she didn't want to make things difficult for Hua Yi, what if she overeats and gets a stomachache? So she quickly changed her tune.

"You must finish the main course. Boys should have enough appetite. These snacks can be kept for dinner, so it's okay if they're left over. Don't tell me you don't need to eat late-night snacks and will go to bed on time. As far as I know, you haven't returned to the dormitory early even once since you came to the space station. You always have all sorts of things to do."

In fact, with Hua Yi's abilities, even if he ate food that exceeded the limits of ordinary people, he could break it down using imaginary energy, without causing any burden to his stomach or intestines.

However, if you reasonably suspect that you ate too much food today, Estella will "go even further" tomorrow.

Looking at the main dishes the girl mentioned and the snacks she brought up, Hua Yi was pleased to find that, at least in terms of how much a normal person could eat, the stationmaster had the right concept, unlike her numb attitude towards credit points.

"Luckily you didn't just casually order the cooking robot to prepare 200 million credits worth of food. Otherwise, no matter how hard the people on the entire space station tried, they wouldn't have been able to eliminate even a small portion of it before the food lost its best flavor."

"You guessed wrong. The cooking robot can't produce 200 million credits worth of food in a short time unless it chooses those world-renowned and expensive ingredients. If you want to try it, I can buy some next time."

"Dear Miss Estelle, please do not use credit points to corrupt the mind of an ambitious clerk, otherwise I may lose the will to work hard."

"Pfft."

The girl could tell that Hua Yi was joking, because if he were really so easily corrupted by credit points, he could have made the relevant requests long ago, and all the departments would have done their best to meet them, whether it was goods that could be bought with credit points or rare treasures that could not be bought with special items or scientific and technological advancements.

The two hundred million credits that Hua Yi casually mentioned were not a test from Aistar. If Hua Yi showed any expectation, the rich girl really intended to spend the money.

The station manager hoped to give back to the person in front of her who had done so much for her, but Hua Yi never showed any strong material desires from beginning to end.

Unable to share her pocket money with this new clerk who had gradually taken a special place in her heart, Estella, lacking experience in dealing with such complex emotions, could only share her little secrets with him.

Chapter 34 Estella's Secret

"arrive."

Estelle led Hua Yi to the base section, where there was a door that had been closed for a long time in the corridor leading to the monitoring room.

In fact, ordinary staff members were already used to the various encrypted doors and closed areas that could not be opened. In a space station where permissions were required everywhere, even though the staff members had many years of work experience, they still had a lot of misunderstandings about the star museum they lived in.

This hatch is a special one among the many unopened areas. Not to mention ordinary staff members, even the heads of various departments and founders would be turned away.

This is Estella's secret base. Apart from the girl herself, only the Black Tower can enter this vast space station.

Of course, that genius wouldn't come to investigate the young rich girl's secrets. If Estádio confided in her, she could naturally get a simple and direct solution to the problem. But what's left here is no longer a problem that bothers the girl.

"Welcome to my former studio. Now, the biggest secret about my background is about to be revealed. Let's begin the mystery-solving process~ You can try to find clues in this room."

Unlocking the long-closed hatch, Estelle first looked inside to make sure the place was clean and dust-free despite being neglected. Then, she winked mischievously at Hua Yi, acting like the host of a puzzle game.

"A little tip: all the information is on paper, and you have the right to look through everything here."

Hmm... wouldn't searching for clues be too tiring?

Although Hua Yi had already taken a nap, the girl was still hesitant to waste his energy for no reason.

The items to be found are all on the surfaces of the tables and bookshelves in the room. A little observation will reveal them. However, Estella silently set a timer in her mind. If someone fails to find the information, she, as the game's host, will have to step in and help.

"Reporting to the referee, I found a piece of paper on the shelf in the corner. I request to see the clues."

It seems like we've really turned into playing games together now.
