I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

“I did promise him that he could make any request. A rare item is insignificant to him, but that’s how he sees it. Do you still not understand the value of rare items, or can you accept expensive gifts with a clear conscience? If you think Hua Yi should give you all sorts of benefits, then I have nothing to say.”

"...What do you want?"

"I'll test the simulated universe with him, and that'll give me a chance to see what makes you special."

After being reminded by the Black Tower, Xing realized that he seemed to be quite poor.

She couldn't help but glance at the trash can in the office. Just now, Estella had given her a smart terminal, and she had casually tossed in the equally exquisite-looking little box. Should she, in the spirit of self-reliance and creating wealth with her own hands, pick up the little box?

"Ahem, is there any money for testing simulated universes?"

"Wow, you've got a good head for business. I'm interested now, and I'm willing to go along with anything. I'll have Estella pay you a salary later. Be grateful."

"Are you really willing to compromise on everything?"

Xing's eyes lit up as she caught the key point in Black Tower's words. The doll girl raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but glance at Hua Yi. Was it this guy who had corrupted the Star Core brat who had lost his past memories, or were birds of a feather flock together? One of them was granting her a hundred wishes, while the other was eager to try, truly intending to test the limits.

"To be precise, my interest in you is far less than my interest in Hua Yi. By the time I understand your special characteristics, or lose interest halfway through my research—I might not even have any credit points left, you know?"

Chapter 71 Read My Eyes and Act

Pshaw, who's afraid of who? I can still find treasure in the trash can!

Xing wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, she swallowed her words, lest the Black Tower target her and she be unable to open treasure chests in the space station in the future.

Estelle also had something to say. Even if Lady Black Tower lost interest in Star, she could use her private account to cover the other party's living expenses. In any case, it would not burden Hua Yi. Problems that can be solved with credits are not problems at all.

Even a genius like Black Tower didn't expect that after he deliberately teased her, Xing would act so confidently, and Estella also seemed ready to say something.

The space station has essentially established a state within a state around Hua Yi, and is about to drift outside the authority of the Black Tower!

But the doll girl didn't care.

"The data of the antimatter legion's virtual soldiers and doomsday beasts can be directly put into the simulated universe. The correspondence between the virtual and the real can further improve the reliability of the data and better explore the mysteries of the star gods."

"Is 03 going to go for testing now?"

"Let's talk about it later."

I see you still have a lot to do, and Silver Wolf has left backdoor programs haphazardly, plus the added Legion data body, which is an uncertain factor in the simulated universe. If it crashes and malfunctions again, wouldn't I be looked down upon?

"I'll call you then."

Black Tower waved and left Estella's office. It was unclear whether he intended to control the puppet all the way to his own office or hide it somewhere along the way and then remotely connect it to another machine to save the energy of walking.

At this moment, with Estelle sitting beside him, busy remotely directing the post-disaster reconstruction work of the space station and reviewing the loss reports of scientific research equipment and experimental materials submitted by the Department of Applied Physics, Hua Yi naturally had to take on another part of the responsibility.

"Did Ms. Himeko and Ms. Mitsuki come to the space station for some important matter?"

“Bringing some rare materials to the Black Tower isn’t that important. She’s obviously prioritizing the simulated universe now. We’ve been here many times. This was just an ordinary trip.”

Himeko understood that Hua Yi cared about the train crew. Even though he was a young man like Xiao Sanyue and Xing, his behavior was unusually mature.

Such thoughtfulness made the elegant and mature red-haired beauty smile gently.

"Even if we follow the same routes, we can still gain new insights. Perhaps that is the meaning of exploration."

"[open up]……"

"Ta-da! Look! I've taken several photos to preserve everyone's heroic posture during the battle. This is proof of our pioneering spirit!"

On March 7th, as if showing off a treasure, he picked up the camera hanging around his neck and showed it to everyone, which immediately made Xing turn his head to the side.

"You even filmed the moment I rushed up to fight the Doomsday Beast. When did you film that? I didn't see it."

"That's technology! Praise me all you want."

The quirky girl raised her head, beaming with pride, her beautiful pink and blue eyes narrowed into slits with a hint of arrogance.

She likes everything a girl her age should be passionate about, and taking photos is something a girl like March 7th should enjoy doing.

There's an even more important reason: having something to record means you won't forget it later.

Hua Yi recalled the battle with the Doomsday Beast. At that time, the girl who fought with a bow and arrow created a rain of arrows by herself. She pulled the bowstring at an unknown frequency, and the arrows rained down. She still had the energy to take pictures and capture the wonderful moments of the battle.

What terrifying hand speed!

Noticing that Hua Yi's amazed gaze didn't seem to be on the photo, March 7 paused, followed his gaze and looked down, seeing her own pale hand.

What, is there something dirty on my hands? No, they're quite clean.

The girl blinked her big, innocent eyes in confusion, but fortunately her older sister Himeko realized the problem and immediately explained.

“Little March’s camera has a smart shooting mode, so it won’t distract you much. In the previous battle, she really didn’t slack off. On the contrary, I didn’t put in much effort. Hua Yi, Xing, can I make you two cups of coffee as compensation?”

The navigator wasn't slacking off in the back; everything was based on the premise that Hua Yi could handle the Doomsday Beast with ease. Otherwise, if the battle turned against them, she wouldn't hesitate to use the orbital cannon to affect the space station.

Now he claims he didn't contribute much, mainly thinking to avoid Hua Yi from misunderstanding that he thought March 7th was just taking pictures in the back. But the former never had that thought from beginning to end, while the latter started frantically giving him meaningful glances.

Are you telling me to do what you say?

Xing noticed the unpredictable look in March 7's eyes, which were full of confusion.

I don't understand!

Hua Yi, standing nearby, understood. March 7th hadn't quite grasped that Himeko was trying to explain things to her with good intentions; all her glances were conveying the same message: "Don't drink the coffee Himeko makes."

If only his name is mentioned, Hua Yi is fearless and might as well try to see just how dark the coffee that can make March 7 react so strongly is. But Xing is also mentioned at the same time.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to let Galaxy Baseball Man off the hook and subtly changed the subject.

"I was just marveling at March 103's speed, and I didn't mean to criticize either of you in the slightest. At that time, the pink and blue arrows rained down like a waterfall, crashing down on the head of the Doomsday Beast. The beautiful and spectacular scene is etched in people's memories."

"You think my arrows are beautiful too? Hehe, you certainly have good taste! I condensed them using six-phase ice. By the way, although the name of the ability has ice in it, I don't think it's ice, but rather some kind of condensed crystal. Ordinary ice isn't this beautiful!"

Regardless of whether Himeko has completely forgotten about the coffee incident, March 7th suddenly became lively and excitedly chatted with Hua Yi about her Six-Phase Ice.

"Actually, I've been researching new moves. After all, I've never heard of any master using a bow. Besides, nothing will happen if I use the arrows I conjure to attack the shield I conjure."

"It should be the shield that blocked the arrow, which means Miss March 7 is very good at protecting people."

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry to say that. I didn't have time to put shields on you guys in the previous battle... Anyway, I once diligently practiced a special move called [Star-Slaying and Universe-Shattering Great Glazed Sword], but unfortunately, it was all ineffective. Since you also use a sword, if you have time later, please give me some guidance. Please, please."

Chapter 72 The Maiden's Kiss

I'll have time later, not now.

March 7th didn't forget that Hua Yi was a great hero of the space station, who stepped forward in the disaster and turned the tide. There was no reason for him to continue pestering Hua Yi for advice.

Just then, Xing was also planning to wander around.

As Himeko said, this was not the first time the train crew had visited the space station, so there was no need for Estella to arrange a guide. As this mature and gentle older sister took the initiative to invite Hoshi to visit their residence, the office fell silent and became a private world for the two of them.

Estella, who had been quietly operating the touch screen while Xing, March 7th, and Hua Yi chatted away, stopped what she was doing.

She moved to a spot closer to the person next to her.

"Is that all? I'm ready to be your pillow."

Hua Yi spoke gently, taking Aista's soft hand and gently playing with her long, slender, white fingers. He could sense how exhausted this girl, who had been constantly mobilizing the power of destiny in battle and continuing to direct the cleanup efforts of various departments after the disaster, was now.

"How about taking a nap leaning against me? Now it's my turn to think you should go to sleep, Station Master."

"...The work isn't finished yet."

"If you're not worried that my growing prestige will indirectly diminish your power, then leave the rest of the official business to me. I guarantee you'll wake up to find everything settled, since I've already familiarized myself with the functions of each department."

I'm not worried about you dividing up power, not at all. Even if you become the stationmaster, I can easily be the deputy stationmaster.

Because you possess the corresponding qualifications and abilities, Ms. Black Tower absolutely agrees with this.

My worry is that the Star Train will kidnap you!

However, even knowing that the Star Train would travel to countless worlds and leave its mark on every corner of the starry sky, I couldn't help but want everyone to know that there was such a great hero who could create a perfect miracle with no one sacrificing themselves in the face of the antimatter legion's attack.

Exploration...

Tuo Yuxing's will is quite fitting for a hero, isn't it?

Aista's feelings were incredibly complicated. She rested her head on Hua Yi's shoulder and silently closed her eyes.

She fell asleep quickly.

Because the girl truly did her best to disrupt fate when fighting the Doomsday Beast, and because she truly took on all the duties of the stationmaster with great responsibility, from post-disaster reconstruction to receiving train crews.

Because the office was silent, Hua Yi slowed her breathing.

He took out his own terminal as instructed and took over the space station matters from the hardworking Está.

Even though Hua Yi created the High-Level Secret Instrument of Wisdom and demonstrated outstanding talent in the research fields of various departments, becoming the brightest star in the space station, he was still a rising star, a young man who needed to be protected in the eyes of the older scholars.

But today he shouldered the fate of everyone, resisted the legion's advance, wielded his flaming sword to annihilate the demons with calamity fire, and proved with an indisputable, dreamlike miracle that he was not the one who needed protection, but rather the one who could protect everyone.

Whether it's high-ranking officials from various departments, learned experts and scholars, ordinary staff members, or even those who aren't even members of the space station but happen to visit the Star Museum by chance.

Heroes create flawless epics, and everyone is bathed in their light, without exception.

IV staff members cannot command other departments, and department heads and founders cannot overstep their authority to manage other departments, but he can.

Because he is Hua Yi.

There's no need for Estelle to make a special statement, nor for the Black Tower to issue an internal announcement; the glory belongs to him, and the power is merely a bonus.

Without needing authorization from superiors, he himself is someone everyone trusts and who should be held in high esteem.

The medical department's various medical supply requests were approved one by one, and the wounded will recover more quickly; the physics department acted according to increasingly detailed orders, allocating funds to repair the isolation wall damaged and deformed by the spurs; the species department, based on the characteristics of the legion, joined forces with the land science department to improve the proportions of superalloy materials...

The Star Museum has become a high-speed, sophisticated machine, exhibiting an efficiency that was unprecedented before the anomaly. The dark destruction has not left a shadow in people's hearts; instead, it has inspired even more passionate enthusiasm and fighting spirit.

Numerous staff members rushed to and fro, busily carrying out their tasks, even though they themselves hadn't soared into the sky and separated themselves from the ordinary majority, and even though the space station was no longer as calm as it used to be—

My colleagues were the same familiar faces, some of whom were even injured and stumbling. The office was still the same, with fragile items on the desks falling and breaking in the chaos. To say it was a scene of devastation would be an exaggeration; "utterly chaotic" would be an understatement.

But why does it feel like something has changed?

I feel very safe and secure, and my body is constantly surging with energy.

I am someone protected by heroes. Perhaps I really do have the value of being protected, just like my colleagues, superiors, and those unlucky guys who happened to come to visit the space station today.

So I should do something, do everything I can!

Estelle slept soundly because she was tired and because she trusted that the people around her could handle the follow-up work on the space station.

Because Hua Yi used his left hand throughout the entire process of issuing commands using the terminal, his right shoulder, which served as a cushion for the station manager, remained pressed against the sofa to maintain the most suitable height and angle, ensuring that the girl's dreamland would not be affected by external factors.

Time passes quietly.

The Amber Era calendar promoted by the Interstellar Peace Corporation has been criticized by some, who feel that the intervals between King Cripper's hammer swings are not fixed, thus making an Amber Era a general term rather than a particularly precise number. (Good job!)

However, in the context of the universe, time is not actually a perfectly precise concept; different galaxies may exist under different time curvatures.

And in the small stationmaster's office on the space station, time must have seemed to stretch out especially long for Estella as she slept.

It was exceptionally beautiful, exceptionally warm, and exceptionally short-lived.

It would be great if it could last for the entire Amber Period.

The girl groggily opened her eyes and sat very close to Hua Yi.

She moved her head close to Hua Yi as if stretching, her cherry lips almost touching his cheek.

Then, Aista's eyes darted around, and instead of sitting up straight, she tossed her bangs and moved closer to Hua Yi.

Chirp.

This kiss wasn't a hazy, half-awake touch on the cheek; it was a kiss from a beautiful young woman who had regained consciousness, placing her lips on the hero's.

Chapter 73 The Company's Reaction

Hua Yi couldn't possibly back down at the last minute, so he put his arm around Aisda's slender waist.

With her pink bangs fluttering gently and her hair smelling sweet, the girl offered a kiss full of heartfelt affection, which the great hero naturally accepted.

No one would be so reckless as to barge into the stationmaster's office and disturb this sweet and warm atmosphere, as evidenced by the fact that the dreamland had been carefully nurtured and maintained for so long.

Currently, the only limitation is lung capacity.
