I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

At this moment, the young female staff member didn't know whether to say that Hua Yi was popular, capable, and actively absorbed the wisdom of the Black Tower Space Station, or to admire the achievements he had made in such a short time.

It feels like he'll be promoted and become my boss soon.

Emily carefully recalled Hua Yi's actions and demeanor in dealing with people, based solely on her own perspective. She felt that Hua Yi was by no means an ordinary person. From his interpersonal skills to his professional abilities, as well as his seemingly terrifying learning speed, everything about him was perfect. It wouldn't be long before such a person would make a name for himself at the Black Tower Space Station.

It has even begun to emerge.

"Which planet did you come from? It shouldn't be some nameless place, right? It must be a planetary civilization that is quite famous in the universe, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's just a remote planet that's not well-known in the universe. In terms of appearance alone, it looks quite similar to the azure planet that the Black Tower Space Station orbits."

"Is that so? No problem. You've already entered the Black Tower Space Station, and one of the most prominent stages in the universe has long since opened its arms to you."

"You're already so good at encouraging people, that's great, Emily."

"Well……"

"Meal delivery successful. The Great Universe Fried Rice and Kali White Soda have been delivered. Enjoy your meal."

Is the food ordering robot considerate or insensitive? It came back again, controlling the delivery cart to serve up golden fried rice with perfect color, aroma, and taste, and the universally popular soft drinks.

The girl subtly shifted her position, changing from sitting at an angle to avoid Hua Yi interfering with the coin to sitting opposite each other.

It was just a simple little action, but she did it secretly and cautiously.

After success, an inexplicable joy welled up in my heart.

I feel like this Cosmic Fried Rice tastes better than usual, much tastier. Could it be that the space station changed chefs?

The fried rice robot's program must have been optimized.

Hey, what's up with this Calbee? It tastes exceptionally good too! Did Interstellar Peace Corporation upgrade its production line?

Chapter 6 Mysteries of the Stars

"Phew... I'm full~"

After eating and drinking her fill, Amy squinted her eyes contentedly, let out a happy sigh, and stretched in her seat before remembering that there was someone sitting opposite her.

"I...I'm going back to my workstation to get busy!"

Smiling, Hua Yi watched as the clerk abruptly stood up and hurried away, looking slightly flustered. He then headed to his own office.

The Black Tower space station is enormous. The main control module, which is part of the core area, is actually a large spaceship with independent interstellar travel capabilities. Normally, it is connected to the base and exists as the control center of the space station.

Such a module structure is divided into multiple sections, encompassing various areas such as main control, base, containment, and support. As one of the five major research departments of the space station, the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department, where Hua Yi works, naturally occupies more than just one or two rooms of office space.

Arriving at his workstation, he could see the top-of-the-line computers and various precision equipment provided by Interstellar Peace Corporation neatly arranged on a rectangular desk. In front of him was a high-performance quartz glass, prepared using chemical vapor deposition technology, serving as a floor-to-ceiling window for this office area.

Outside the window, aerospace materials, whose value and performance far exceed the imagination of ordinary people and even many planetary civilizations, form giant pillars that support the main framework of the space station. Even if one can only see a small part of this crystallization of scientific wisdom, one cannot help but be shocked by the grandeur of the space station and the insignificance of oneself as an ordinary staff member.

Outside the space station, the starlight that knows no day or night, no seasons, and the vast cosmic sky that holds countless stars, making the space station seem like a drifting speck of dust.

When people look up at the starry sky, are they dazzled by the endless mystery and beauty of the universe, or do they feel inexplicable fear, thinking that terrifying monsters lurking in the dark horizon that is difficult to see with the naked eye?

Hua Yi clearly does not belong to the latter category.

He gazed at the cosmos for a moment, then focused his attention on the electronic device in front of him, skillfully retrieving internal data.

The current Secret Scrolls Department has 101 Star God Secret Instruments. Although there are many, their effectiveness is limited. Some of these instruments even use the beards of the space station's veterans, which adds a mystical touch to scientific research.

Thanks to the fact that Ms. Black Tower rarely assigns work directly to the space station, and that Ms. Estella, who serves as the station manager, is not the type to mistreat her subordinates, the work of the space station members is relatively easy. The staff members whose workstations are right next to each other can chat during work hours, while at the desks on the other side in the distance, several female staff members move their office chairs and talk sideways.

Many seats are still empty, not because the space station has failed to recruit enough staff, but because many members of the Secret Scrolls Department are traveling around the universe exploring the mysteries of the stars and are on field research.

Even in the Plenty Starfield, the Light Abyss Secret Scrolls Department has made its mark. The Black Tower Space Station provides researchers with stable financial support, and once they produce outstanding results, they can easily become famous throughout the universe.

Hua Yi's workstation is separate from others, separated by large equipment. Perhaps the space station felt that newcomers should be strict with themselves, and the environment eliminated the possibility of him chatting with others or slacking off during work hours. Or perhaps the chatty seniors had already chosen good positions, leaving only one workstation isolated from the world.

Perfect timing! Hua Yi can now focus on investigating the mysteries of the stars.

After selecting personnel from various planets, the Black Tower Space Station does not immediately assign newcomers a large workload. Initially, they are in the stage of getting familiar with their duties. Some planetary civilizations do not focus on developing science and technology. When the selected staff members first arrive at the space station, it takes them quite a while just to learn how to use various cutting-edge equipment.

Hua Yi completely skipped the process of learning how to use the equipment, quickly became familiar with the environment and space station guidelines, and was already able to carry out his work normally.

He had already completed the practice project assigned to him by the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department, and thanks to this, he could use the remaining work time to further learn about the mysteries of the stars.

[Preservation] Kripper, [Exploration] Akivili, [Destruction] Nanuk, [Wisdom] Learned One, [Breeding] Taizyuros...

Even though those celestial bodies with spirits are mysterious and unpredictable, and mortals cannot find them, there are still traces left by star gods in the Milky Way, as well as legends that shocked the world.

The Star Gods are supreme and powerful, but they are not invincible or immortal.

Conflicts have also broken out among them.

If a dark shadow appears on the horizon at noon, close your door tightly. It is not the night that has arrived early, but a swarm of hungry insects—the procreative star god Taizyuros, who once caused a global locust plague and brought countless losses to the universe, and is said to have fallen in the war of the gods.

Based on limited intelligence, the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department speculates that the Procreation Star God, who ascended amidst hatred and loneliness, endlessly replicated himself, forming a swarm of insects that blotted out the sky. This not only harmed all living beings in the universe but also had a detrimental effect on other destinies: destroying the [order] of the universe, threatening the [balance] of the world, and blocking the path of [expansion], etc.

The gods besieged [the brood], and the swarm gradually declined due to the death of Taizyuros, never to regain its former glory. However, even today, remnants of the swarm still wreak havoc in the universe, making it one of the three great calamities of the universe.

Legend has it that every insect in the swarm is a clone of Taizyuros, and as long as the swarm remains in the universe, the [breeding] Taizyuros will eventually return.

Could this be used to infer that the Star God is actually immortal?

Hua Yi stared at the celestial mysteries displayed on the screen, lost in thought, when a voice behind him asked a question.

"Now that you've seen the information on the Star God of Procreation, you shouldn't have missed the knowledge of the God of Knowledge, the Venerable Master, whom Lady Black Tower once met, right?"

"Yes, that is the Star God who governs the destiny of [knowledge]. Originally a celestial computer used to solve all things, it was upgraded from a machine. The Genius Club where Lady Black Tower is located is composed of geniuses who have been favored by the Venerable One of Knowledge."

"That--"

Meier, a senior member of the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department who looked not much older than Emily, was surprised by the accuracy and speed of Hua Yi's answer, even though he had already heard about Hua Yi's excellence.

Are you familiar with the concept of "protection" that Interstellar Peace Corporation believes in?

"Kripper, the guardian deity of the planets, is the Amber King who has always been building the galactic barrier. The Interstellar Peace Corporation initially acquired building materials from various planets to offer to the guardian deity. Later, they found that bartering was not convenient enough, so they gradually introduced the credit point system. Even today, although the Interstellar Peace Corporation has developed into a behemoth in the universe, controlling the economic lifeline of countless planets, it still maintains a fanatical faith in the Amber King."

Chapter 7 Personal Strengths

"In addition, the Amber Era, which the Interstellar Peace Corporation is actively promoting throughout the universe and which is also used by the Black Tower Space Station, takes the estimated birth of King Cripple of Amber as the beginning of the era, and regards each swing of his hammer as the beginning of a new era, namely the 1st Amber Era."

Hua Yi turned around, not surprised to see Meir standing behind him, as if he had already sensed the other's arrival.

"According to the Pioneer Calendar, another timekeeping calendar brought by the Pioneer Star God and also used by many planets, the length of each Amber Age is actually different because the time it takes for the Guardian Star God to swing his hammer is uncertain, ranging from 76 to 240 years."

"These past few days, for some reason, people from the other departments have been asking about you. It's not just simple gossip, but more like they're trying to poach you. I originally thought you..."

I thought you weren't interested in the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department and were planning to transfer to another department.

As a veteran of the department, Meier naturally understood what it meant that Hua Yi could readily recount all sorts of astronomical secrets.

This means that the newcomer, who had only been at the Black Tower Space Station for a few days, was very interested in the Star God and devoted a lot of energy to learning about him, systematically mastering the relevant knowledge framework.

Otherwise, even if Hua Yi possessed the ability to remember everything he saw and could organize and summarize the complex and scattered celestial mysteries in his mind, he would not be able to answer various questions about the Star Gods fluently without sufficient passion.

The members of the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department have a deep understanding of the Star Gods of [Intelligence] and [Preservation], but if you ask them to accurately state the shortest and longest time span of the Amber Era without hesitation, only a small number of them should be able to do so.

The Star Domain Science said that Hua Yi's simplified database index was very useful. The Galaxy Law and Politics Science said that he was born to join the Law and Politics Science. The project of the Universal Geography Science received external support. What's going on with the little guy from the Universal Application Science asking around about the preferences of newcomers?

He's only been at the Black Tower Space Station for a few days!

"I am filled with curiosity about celestial bodies like the Star Gods, and I yearn to obtain more information about them. My research direction is the same as that of the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department, so I will not transfer to other departments."

"Well—I didn't come here to test you. I just found out while organizing the database that the field for your home planet in your file has become a string of gibberish. I can't recover it by accessing past data. Please fill it out again when you have time."

"Do I have to fill it out again?"

"It's not really necessary. You're an excellent newcomer, and the department head won't make things difficult for you in this kind of matter. Ms. Black Tower won't care about staff member files either. It's just that if you want to go home on vacation in the future, without a specific interstellar travel destination, the company may not be able to fully reimburse your travel expenses."

"I understand."

If there are problems with the information already entered into the files by the staff, then if we really want to investigate, it would be the responsibility of the relevant staff on the space station. Meir does not intend to ask Hua Yi to make any more corrections.

What she didn't know was that the appearance of the garbled text was not an accident.

"And then there's my suggestion. In the section for personal strengths, you wrote 'Has some experience in areas such as imaginary energy,' which is a bit too broad and general. Do you want to change it?"

"Change it to 'imaginary number affinity'?"

"Hey, isn't that even more hollow? Although many research projects on the space station involve the realm of imaginary numbers, and the energy surging on the Star God's Destiny Path is also this kind of imaginary number energy, even a Destiny Walker would not say that they are affinity for imaginary numbers, but rather that they are walking on a certain destiny path."

Even though the term "path of destiny" was mentioned, Meir still did not consider Hua Yi to be someone who was already walking on a specific path of destiny.

Why would someone with such immense power need to go through the usual selection process to become an ordinary staff member in the Light Abyss Secret Scrolls Department of the Black Tower Space Station?

Although he can no longer be considered "ordinary".

"It should be written as 'having a photographic memory, being able to systematically integrate and flexibly apply knowledge,' and even adding 'possessing excellent social skills and being enthusiastic in helping many colleagues on the space station.'"

"If I were to deliberately expand on my special skills, wouldn't that be considered boasting? I'd better be more modest."

"……never mind."

Meir shook his head. In any case, the effect of a single file is limited. Hua Yi's own abilities have already been demonstrated, so he doesn't need to get too hung up on the details.

In the files of other people on the space station, there are many who boast about themselves in the sections on personal strengths and self-evaluation, making these two sections increasingly unreliable.

"If you like literature related to the Star God, you can check out the Lost Star God series and Galactic Mythology. Apart from being quite long, the content is pretty good."

"I see. I've got it all figured out. Thanks for the recommendation."

"Alright...you continue with your work, I won't bother you anymore."

As a traveler who has come to the Starry Sky Railway universe, one will inevitably have some special abilities or different talents.

I do have some talent in imaginary energy, and after repeated verification, I find it easy to use.

This should be more special than conventional interpersonal skills or photographic memory.

Hua Yi ultimately did not deliberately explain that he had filled in the personal skills section very carefully, and that he had not just written it randomly.

But to say that one embarks on a certain destiny and becomes a traveler of destiny, that doesn't count.

The Secret Scrolls of Guangyuan contain a wealth of astrological tales, as well as information related to destiny.

If we consider the actions of mortals who receive the inspiration of the star gods and grasp the power of destiny as stirring up a shattered droplet, then the magnificent feat of the star gods driving their great power to control destiny is like pushing a tsunami across mountains.

A few mortals who are favored by the Star Gods can also draw upon the energy of their destiny with the Star Gods' promise, and stir up giant waves that erode the coast. Such beings are called messengers.

Since the Star God has granted it, he can also refuse.

Even among star gods, if their concepts overlap and their powers are similar, a narrow destiny can be covered by a broad destiny.

Rather than trying to follow the destinies ruled by those star gods, Hua Yi hopes to follow the laws of the universe and use his expertise in imaginary energy to gradually explore destiny and star gods.

Under high temperature and pressure, coal can be transformed into diamonds because they are essentially composed of carbon atoms. Since the energy surging in his destiny is imaginary, all that the gifted Hua Yi needs to do is find some limiting conditions.

He didn't tell a single lie, whether it was about his personal strengths in the file or his understanding of imaginary energy that Emily mentioned.

It is also a fact that he himself favored the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department.

Chapter 8: The Notice with a Story

"Is the tour over already? Waaaaah, I'll never forget the space station for the rest of my life!"

"Wow, this is amazing! The space elevator and reception hall alone are filled with all sorts of high technology. Although I don't understand them, I am deeply impressed."

"Not just on my planet, but throughout the entire universe, the Black Tower Space Station is a dream destination for countless top scholars. If I could work on the space station in the future, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

"As long as I pass the selection process, participate in the space station selection, defeat competitors from across the planet, and be just as good as the participants from other planets, I can become a crew member on the space station and explore the truth of the universe—Waaaaah, it's so hopeless, this is too difficult!"

Visitors in the reception hall ride the space elevator, reluctant to leave the space station, already longing to return.

In fact, they are already lucky enough to be envied by many people. Not only were they able to pass the space station's review and be allowed to visit, but their family backgrounds are also quite extraordinary.

Ordinary people, and even those with both wealth and power in many planetary civilizations, cannot easily achieve interstellar travel. Even if they have entered the interstellar age or have technological support from forces such as the Interstellar Peace Corporation, they still have to pay a considerable sum to travel on a spaceship.

If a planet itself has never embraced the universe, even if someone obtains permission to visit the Black Tower Space Station, they can only gaze at the starry sky and sigh. The space station will not specially arrange spaceships to pick up visitors from planets that have not been able to access interstellar travel orbits.

Those who were not granted permission to visit, or who lacked the ability to complete interstellar travel, envied the visitors who came to the space station; the visitors, in turn, envied the staff on the space station; and the staff envied their outstanding colleagues…

This is a very ordinary human emotion; it can be described as an insatiable desire, but it is also a positive and enterprising spirit.

Among the Black Tower's staff, there were many who had never been to a space station before the selection process, and who had to pool the resources of their families and even many friends to afford the expenses of interstellar travel and board the space station.

Everyone here—the tourists, the staff, even those who failed the selection process—has a story.

Even when Hua Yi leaves the office area and strolls around the space station, he can find a notice full of stories through the isolation window of the plant cultivation room belonging to the Kingdom Species family.
