I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

The stationmaster smiled, coughed lightly as if to sound serious, and lowered her voice.

"Go, go and pick it up, the earth-shattering secret is there."

So Hua Yi picked up the astonishing mystery that Aista had mentioned and discovered it was a shopping list.

Dear Lifetime Elite Member Ms. Aista, thank you for shopping on Huanyujiapin.com! We have received your order and are processing its shipment. Please feel free to check the order status at any time.

This order contains one package; the detailed packing list is as follows.

Exclusive brand-exclusive invigorating aromatherapy: Stay alert and energized, leaving a pleasant fragrance throughout the room!

The Art of Language: How to deal with difficult situations politely.

Custom-designed for stargazing: High-magnification, high-definition professional stargazing.

The girl's bright eyes were fixed on Hua Yi, waiting for him to discover that the so-called super secret was actually just a shopping list, and then she would show a helpless expression.

Perhaps because this new clerk always seemed so gentle and calm, as if he were in complete control of everything, Estella felt a little tempted to tease him, seeing the interesting expression on his face.

However, Hua Yi noticed many details from a simple shopping list.

"The stationmaster also said I don't sleep well. What's with the 'energizing aromatherapy'? Is it to keep me awake and prevent drowsiness?"

"Well, when I first came to the space station, I wasn't familiar with many things, so my work efficiency was a bit low, and I often had to work overtime... But things are different now! Didn't you just smell the aromatherapy when you were in my office with a few systems?"

"I can't be sure whether Miss Estádio really stopped working overtime or if she arranged the office in advance so that I could get a good night's sleep. Anyway, I remember there were no reclining chairs when I first went there."

"Seriously, you can come to my office anytime to check! See if there's any aromatherapy."

The staff member inspecting the station chief's office on the space station confirmed that the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches had been reversed.

However, Estelle wasn't entirely joking; to the young girl, Hua Yi was no longer just a clerk.

Where would you find a superior casually sharing their little secrets with ordinary subordinates?

The stationmaster found that things were not progressing as expected, and now he felt completely helpless, as if he himself had become the one at a loss.

She watched as Hua Yi's gaze fell on the second item on the shopping list.

The Art of Language.

I remember Emily also bought this book, so it seems to be selling well worldwide.

Did Estelle, like Emily, not know how to speak before and need to learn communication skills separately?

No.

Hua Yi immediately dismissed the highly improbable guess and instead began to ponder the following sentence about "dealing with difficulties".

Huanyu Jiapin is a membership-based shopping website, and Aisda is a lifetime premium member. Her order should have been handled by customer service. Even if it was just an advertising slogan, it might have been related to the keywords she searched and her actual needs.

"The higher-ups in the various departments shouldn't make things difficult for the station chief, and ordinary staff members are even less likely to go over several ranks to make things difficult for you. Is the pressure coming from outside the space station?"

"You even guessed that?!"

"We need to use communication skills to deal with this, instead of ignoring the troublemaker. This means that the other party is someone important, but they are unlikely to be from the Genius Club or the Interstellar Peace Corporation. The geniuses have no reason to make things difficult for the space station manager appointed by Ms. Black Tower, and the Interstellar Peace Corporation is the investor and business partner of the space station. They also have no reason to have a falling out with the little rich woman."

The knowledge Hua Yi absorbed after arriving at the space station flowed through his mind, connecting ordinary and extraordinary information, allowing him to grasp answers that were completely unexpected by following tiny clues.

"It's the Broad Knowledge Society, right?"

Only a tiny fraction of the members can truly join the club of geniuses, but the Society for the Study of Knowledge never wastes its resources. They broadly accept those who seek knowledge from the vast universe and promise all conditions for the full development of learning, advocating that all knowledge must circulate like currency.

The two organizations' diametrically opposed ideologies led to numerous clashes. A leader of a certain genius club regarded the Knowledge Society as a foolish laughingstock, calling it a mob, while the Knowledge Society was not very friendly to those genius clubs that claimed to have some research results but rarely created any value that would benefit the entire universe.

The difficulties Estelle faced were essentially an academic contest initiated by the Erudite Society against Black Tower, a member of the Genius Club. However, Black Tower never took it seriously and let the stationmaster deal with it all.

Chapter 35 I was really wronged back then.

"Correct."

Estella took a deep breath, feeling that Hua Yi's mental state had reached a terrifying level.

What he initially thought was a trivial clue became information-rich data in his eyes, allowing him to deduce things clearly. This ability to think and judge was no less than his scientific research talent, and perhaps even more terrifying.

Because the girl watched as Hua Yi, after a moment's thought, arrived at a series of correct answers from a shopping list that could hardly be called a clue, as if the cognitive veil covering the complex reality could not pose any obstacle in his eyes.

However, since the station manager had already planned to share a little secret, discovering that Hua Yi was very capable was not something that would make her feel uneasy.

"Now I can answer all kinds of questions from the Erudite Society directly and politely. Commanding the space station is always easier than inheriting the family business."

She moved chairs into the room, one for Hua Yi and one for herself, and then spoke.

"You don't need to guess what the third item on my shopping list is—a stargazing scope. I love stars; I've loved them since I was little."

"However, your family does not agree with this."

"Yes. When I was little, I started choosing my own telescopes. I could always hear the elders praising me. I was quite proud of it at the time because I could tell the quality of the telescope's main mirror and guiding system at a glance. Until one day, I walked up to my elders and realized that they were just marveling at how a little girl could choose such an expensive item."

Personal preferences don't matter to onlookers; they only want to see Estella as a pampered little girl.

She likes stars? Oh, I get it, little girls like sparkly things.

“I told them I was studying stellar embryos and hoped that one day a star I discovered would be named after me, just like those great astronomers… Guess what my elders said?”

"The stationmaster comes from a wealthy family, so I suppose those rich relatives didn't take it seriously. The more enthusiastic ones are just misdirecting their enthusiasm. Are they planning to just buy the naming rights to the star?"

"You guessed it—yes, they said, 'That's all? For your birthday this year, we'll name a planet after you, or two if you want, it won't cost much.'"

The girl's pure ideals, born entirely from interest and preference and without any self-interest, were arbitrarily distorted by her elders.

Those elders who control vast amounts of wealth really don't know whether Estádio cares about the result or the process.

Perhaps they really don't know.

Because they don't really care about what the little girl thinks.

Once a family reaches a certain size, kinship fades amidst the struggle for power and wealth, and intrigue becomes the norm.

"If even stars can follow their own trajectories, what about humans? — Are humans not able to control their own destiny?"

"The station manager now has control over his own destiny, so he should be happy."

“Why am I unhappy now? I can’t just laugh it off when I look back. I was really wronged back then! As I got older, my dream of becoming an astronomer was gradually seen as a heretical path by my family. I argued about this issue with relatives countless times in family meetings, and was scolded by my elders countless times.”

By using the guise of righteousness to suppress others, they can legitimately seize the family property that originally belonged to Estádio's lineage.

The girl's eyes were filled with memories, and when she recalled the final twist, a smile finally appeared on her face.

"After a meeting, I saw a delicate doll-like girl walk straight in. Just a second ago, my domineering elder was lecturing me, saying that my interest in stars was a sign of ignorance and that if I continued like this, I should just give up my family shares to avoid wasting important assets. When Ms. Black Tower barged into the meeting without knocking, he turned around, ready to reprimand her aggressively, but when he saw who it was, he immediately calmed down."

"You can imagine how dramatic that scene must have been."

"It was really dramatic. The stern elder who never allowed anyone to interrupt him became timid and submissive in front of the short-statured doll of Lady Black Tower. Lady Black Tower didn't even look at him directly, and just said, 'This little girl will do.'"

Recalling the face of her fierce elder whom she hadn't seen for many years, Estella wrinkled her nose and playfully began to imitate the other person's astonished reaction and the Black Tower Lady's nonchalant tone.

“'But, but she…', 'What 'but'? I came all this way to listen to your nonsensical academic reports, it's not as interesting as listening to this girl arguing with you.', 'Sorry…', 'I want to see her on the space station within three days.'”

The young heiress was quite good at imitation; her tone and movements were incredibly lifelike. Hua Yi felt as if he had experienced the scene firsthand, and he couldn't help but smile.

The stationmaster himself was beaming with pride.

"—As you can see, I came from a family that was always arguing to this space station that is like a dream."

There were no vicious elders on the space station who wanted to interfere in Estella's life, nor were there any hypocritical distant relatives who pretended to be kind but actually tried to seize greater benefits. Estella could use her pocket money to buy anything that interested her and could observe the stars and explore astronomical mysteries to her heart's content on the space station.

Of course, all of this is based on fulfilling Ms. Black Tower's needs and ensuring the stable operation and healthy development of the space station.

Despite her petite stature, the Black Tower Doll is more kind and approachable to Estelle than most of her elders.

At this point, the pink-haired girl decided not to let Hua Yi continue searching for clues. She immediately ran to the bookshelf in the corner of the room, picked up a few letters, and slammed them heavily on the table.

The family letter, printed with a gold-embossed family crest, looks extremely luxurious, but the abrupt creases indicate that it has been repeatedly ravaged.

“Hua Yi, look at what my elders have written. One minute my uncle says my great-grandmother is critically ill and I have to go back immediately. The next minute my aunt says my uncle has ulterior motives and I should not believe him. Instead, I should take another pre-arranged ship. Then the family trust fund committee tells me that my aunt secretly forged a transfer agreement in an attempt to take away my shares.”

These are things of the past, and Estelle has long since come to terms with them.

Now, rather than expressing anger directed at her wicked elders, she is actually pouring out her heart and venting emotions that are usually hidden.

Chapter 36: So decisive!

The girl puffed out her cheeks in anger, hoping that the clerk she had personally promoted would join her in venting their frustrations about their wicked relatives.

As a result, Hua Yi stretched out his finger and poked Aesta's puffed-up cheek.

"puff."

The stationmaster parted her cherry lips slightly, her cheeks deflated, and she made an amusing, whistling sound.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"I will contact the five departments and communicate with Interstellar Peace Company. As an important supplier of goods and a buyer of rare items for the company, the Department of Applied Materials can say a few words to uphold justice for the stationmaster and give those ill-intentioned relatives the punishment they deserve."

Perhaps the weight of Black Tower·Universal Response is not heavy enough, but if we add Black Tower Ms. who has already clearly expressed her attitude, Interstellar Peace Corporation will definitely not remain indifferent.

And Estelle's family will likely not remain indifferent and will definitely react.

What would be the reaction? Of course, it's impossible to fight against a giant like an egg, challenging the Interstellar Peace Corporation that spans the entire universe; that would be utter self-destruction.

The uncles and aunts the girl just mentioned will most likely be swiftly cut off by the family. Not to mention the possibility of them seizing the shares from their descendants, those people will immediately fall into an abyss. It seems that bystanders in the family would be very willing to step forward and sacrifice their own family for the greater good, to accept the unexpected windfall, and to share the cake of losing their former masters.

"You've done so much for the space station, don't feel like you're all alone. The entire Black Tower Space Station is your support. Under the station master's careful management, the energy contained in this star museum is already quite astonishing."

The clerk told the station chief that there was an entire Black Tower space station standing behind her, what a delicate situation. However, more than worrying about these things, Estella was speechless about another fact.

She was still thinking of asking Hua Yi to help her complain about her relatives, but the other party was already preparing to take concrete action and launch a precise attack.

So decisive and efficient?

However, after some calculation, the young lady discovered that Hua Yi was not just talking nonsense. Her relatives were not representative of the entire family. If they were treated as enemies and enough stakes were placed, the outcome could be easily decided.

"There's no need to take such a big step. Ever since I stopped paying attention to them, those people have given up on working on me and have instead focused on their own infighting."

"Single-mindedly pursuing power and profit? Perhaps we should praise them for remaining true to their original aspirations and unwavering in their commitment."

"Pfft."

This time, it wasn't a leak of air from her mouth; Estádio simply laughed out loud.

She had fulfilled her wish to confide in Hua Yi and vent her emotions, and now she felt refreshed and relaxed.

As for the messy advertisements or scam letters also placed in the room, one minute they're trying to sell the young rich woman high-yield financial products, the next they're asking her to invest in some promising emerging industry—just treat them as a joke.

The girl was partly giving Hua Yi an example to prevent him from being deceived by bad people in the future, and partly carrying a special emotion, hoping to prove to the person in front of her that she had a keen eye and that his stationmaster was quite capable.

"That's about it. So, what do you think? Did you find it eye-opening and learned a lot of things you didn't know before?"

"Indeed, I am grateful to Teacher Esther for her teaching and guidance, which provided me with a wealth of anti-fraud lessons. Unfortunately, I have nothing of value to offer and nothing worth fraudulently."

"You can't think like that! You've already developed the Bud of Wisdom, and you have the authority of a Level IV staff member for the entire department, as well as the influence to make all five departments act together. How can you say there's nothing worth deceiving? What if you let your guard down too much and get completely taken advantage of? You absolutely cannot underestimate how bold the girls in the fan club really are!"

"Support club?"

"Gu..."

Oh no! Aista realized she was getting too carried away chatting with Hua Yi and accidentally let something slip.

The space station commander anonymously joined his fan club, lurking and occasionally popping up to chat with other members. How could he possibly reveal this?

Even when she pretended to be serious and said, "I'm monitoring the chat group to prevent the topic from going in an uncontrollable direction," the girl still felt embarrassed.

She hurriedly changed the subject.

"That's not the point! The point is... well! Now that you know the earth-shattering secret about my background, I can't let you just swagger away. The moment you entered the room, you inhaled hallucinogenic gas. It's so potent that even the space station's medical department couldn't save you—in short, you're dead!"

The stationmaster made threatening gestures, leaving Hua Yi utterly shocked.

"I don't see that the young lady is wearing a gas mask or anything like that. Is she trying to take me down with her? What grudge do we have?"

"certainly not!"

Estella, hastily trying to distract herself with incoherent ramblings, blushed with embarrassment.

Coincidentally, she and Hua Yi were sitting at the same desk, very close to each other, which gave the young heiress a chance to escape the awkward situation in a way that was beyond words.

The girl tilted her head, about to bump into the other person's nose, expressing her emotions through action, but he blocked it with one hand. The offense and defense were completely different, and she suddenly asked for a head pat.

Since that's the case, it would be impolite of me to refuse.

Hua Yi casually ruffled Aista's hair a few times; the pink strands were smooth and silky, with an excellent feel.

"you--"
