I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Estella lost track of time. The moment the kiss began, she was overwhelmed by a mix of shyness and excitement, leaving her no energy to pay attention to anything else.

Only when even the physical prowess of a traveler like Hua Yi could no longer sustain the kiss for an extended period, and the stationmaster's delicate and flawless face turned flushed red, did Hua Yi finally let her go, lest the breathless girl actually faint from his kiss.

Hmm, thinking about it carefully, this seems pretty good. It's perfect for Estella to really fall asleep. I still remember which cabinet she took the pillow and folding recliner from last time.

Seeing the eagerness in Hua Yi's eyes, the girl blushed and shrank back.

"Let me catch my breath."

"and then?"

"And then, of course, we continue... continue managing the space station!"

"All departments have received clear instructions. You can check your terminal. It is expected that within 893 hours across dozens of systems, there will be no heavy work that the stationmaster must handle personally. By the time this period passes, the post-disaster reconstruction project will be almost complete. After all, the Legion did not actually breach the space station, and the damage caused is within an optimistic range."

As Hua Yi spoke, he brought up a holographic projection and showed it to Aista.

To the stationmaster's surprise, the tedious work he thought he would have to work overtime to barely sort out turned out to be perfectly fine after he woke up from a good night's sleep.

Wait, did I sleep for a long time?!

The girl hurriedly glanced at the system time.

When working on both systems, the hours weren't too long, but considering that Hua Yi had kept her in the same position for so long, Aisda couldn't help but reach out her fair fingers to massage the shoulder she had been leaning on, giving her beloved, who had been her pillow for so long, a massage.

"Come on, do you think your little weight can break my shoulders?"

Grasping the stationmaster's soft hand, Hua Yi knew that space station affairs involved more than just internal cleanup work.

"News of the Antimatter Legion's attack should have already reached some forces. The Black Tower is dedicated to building a simulated universe, and you are still responsible for dealing with the outside world. The relevant emails should have been sent to the site administrator's email address. I did not overstep my bounds."

There's no need to worry about these things.

Aista immediately opened her personal email interface, linked it to Hua Yi's account, and granted him full access and usage rights. She then directly opened the latest few emails.

"The Interstellar Peace Corporation has already assembled its security forces. Originally, it was supposed to be Toppa, a senior executive from the Strategic Investment Department who had dealt with the space station before and was also a friend of mine, who would come to provide support. However, since you directly eliminated the Void Soldiers and the Doomsday Beasts, the company has decided to send technical personnel to assist in the reconstruction work instead, and all expenses will be reimbursed by them."

"It seems the company is providing significant support to the space station."

"Because those people hope that Ms. Black Tower will become a driving force for the scientific community and even the entire universe's civilization, just like Lilta, the former member of the Genius Club."

Lilta, the first member of the Club of Geniuses to publicly reveal his discovery, established general rules for the vast universe, transforming it from a distant concept into a tangible, knowable, and measurable objective reality.

He selflessly shared his talents with those who sought wisdom, propelling the galactic civilization forward. People always say that they built a wide variety of scientific disciplines on Lilta's shoulders. Countless mathematicians and engineers in the Amber Period have been climbing the heights, but they have never been able to reach the giant's earlobe.

Estelle knew she didn't need to specifically tell Hua Yi about this genius; he must already know.

"Even though Ms. Black Tower did not show much interest in this, the company continued to provide support over the long term."

"Because this investment is worthwhile. When experts and scholars from all over the world gather at the space station and achieve commercially valuable results, they tend to cooperate with the company or have it buy out the project. It is perfectly normal for forces to exchange benefits. However, Black Tower probably doesn't care about these things. She accepts all the benefits from the company but never gives anything in return, which must be quite difficult for the other side."

“That’s right! Especially since many times Ms. Black Tower shops entirely based on her interests, and the things she buys don’t have much research or economic value. As a result, the Interstellar Peace Corporation felt that such indiscriminate reimbursement was not in accordance with regulations. Last time, when they sent Topa to collect the debt, I was the one who paid the bill.”

To this day, Estelle still remembers how the doll girl pretended to be casual, but actually walked away quickly at a race pace, leaving her to clean up the mess.

Speaking of Ms. Black Tower's willful and capricious behavior, the stationmaster sighed and tried her best to suppress her urge to complain.

"The company's support for rebuilding the space station has been very clear this time. From the medical expenses of the wounded to the repair and replacement of facilities, everything has been reimbursed in a straightforward and efficient manner, which is a blessing in disguise. In addition to supporting Ms. Black Tower and the fact that the space station is an important partner, the company is curious about the fact that no one was killed in this attack by the Antimatter Legion and would like to know the details - I would like to ask for your opinion."

"Just respond truthfully, and you can attach some surveillance footage."

Hua Yi understood what Aisda meant, but remained calm.

Given the size of Interstellar Peace Corporation, it's impossible for them to pay excessive attention to someone who can wipe out the Void Soldiers and Doomsday Beasts. As the name suggests, it's just that some people are curious.

Limited surveillance footage alone cannot confirm what kind of destiny power the Godfall Sword carries, but this does not prevent Hua Yi from continuing to discreetly learn about the truths of the universe and use imaginary energy to trigger different destinies.

“Excessive concealment would only seem suspicious. I might as well share the information that even ordinary staff members know, and satisfy the curiosity of the people in the company. I don’t mind being labeled as [protection], [intelligence], or [destruction].

Because that would not have a substantial impact on one's destiny.

As long as it wasn't a mark left by the Star God himself, it's fine.

Chapter 74 The Best Pillow

As a young lady from a large family, Estádio knew that the larger the power, the more complex the internal affairs. Even relatives within the same family would scheme and plot against each other. Given the size of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, even though the top echelons were fanatical followers of the Amber King, the thoughts and ideas of the middle and lower echelons were still very realistic.

Department heads and their subordinates may seem to have a close working relationship, working together for the Interstellar Peace Company. However, if one were to learn more details and discover that there are verified [Guardian] Order Envoys among the company's senior leaders, while ordinary subordinates are not even Destiny Walkers and are still struggling to meet performance targets, one would understand the difference between them.

It's as if the distance between heaven and earth is not even in the same dimension.

Once the company becomes aware of Hua Yi's deeds, one can imagine that its employees would try to bypass the Black Tower Space Station to obtain the intellectual property rights of the Bud of Wisdom, along with various online promotions, business collaborations, and interview invitations.

Furthermore, his heroic efforts in turning the tide during the Legion's attack, coupled with the company's commitment to preservation, would certainly be a good thing if it gained international fame. However, if this attracted attention—with the Star Peace Company and the Antimatter Legion, two behemoths pursuing [preservation] and [destruction] respectively, engaging in a minor power struggle, Hua Yi could be drawn into the conflict.

To say that a single misstep could lead to utter ruin would be an exaggeration. Getting involved would put one in danger, and there couldn't possibly be that many people in the endless sea of ​​stars who dream of becoming a member of the company. Aistar simply wanted to minimize any negative impact on Huayi.

I'll contact Topa again later.

The research on the Key of Inspiration by various departments has begun to show promise, and it will not be long before they can produce a series of academic achievements. In addition, the Calibre formula and the internal intelligence on the Legion attack are enough to make Toppa the company's representative and Hua Yi's direct contact. If anyone else wants to take advantage of the situation, they will have to bypass the senior executives of the company's strategic investment department.

The remaining concerns can be resolved through consultation with ~Topa.

In the battle against the Doomsday Beasts, Estella was unable to charge to the front lines alongside Hua Yi like Xing did. However, in other areas where there was no swordplay, but which were sometimes more complex than direct conflict, the girl did her best to be a hero for everyone and considered every aspect for the people she loved.

"In a few days, I'll introduce you to a company executive. Although she's very shrewd and likes to calculate investments and returns, she's definitely not a hypocritical or malicious person."

"Is it directly equivalent to the rank of an official...?"

After only a moment's thought, Hua Yi roughly guessed Estád's considerations.

“Since we need to demonstrate our value, I’ll put up a little more of a stake. The Wisdom Bud Ritual still has room for improvement. The [Key of Inspiration] is just a preliminary product. The next step is to condense the [Key of Enlightenment].

"!"

Even with the stationmaster's composure, she was taken aback by these words.

"What level of item is that?"

"The intermediate product of the Bud of Wisdom, if the Key of Inspiration is the manifestation of the spark of thought, then the Key of Enlightenment is enough to unlock the puzzle and will also be of some help to those who walk the path of [wisdom]. It should have enough value to let the company help me quell the turmoil after eliminating a small force of the antimatter legion."

"There's no need to go to such lengths."

"The Key of Enlightenment is far more difficult to create than the Key of Inspiration. Even if I share the entire process of using the esoteric ritual with the scholars of the Secret Scroll, unless they are already on the path of [intellectual], there is no possibility of replicating it. And even if the practitioners of intellect manage to create the Key of Enlightenment, the cost and reward are almost offset."

That was something Hua Yi had created by combining his understanding of destiny with his manipulation of imaginary energy. It was the result of his knowledge and talent, and even if it wasn't something he had put in a lot of effort, it wasn't something that others could easily replicate.

"Essentially, I am showcasing an exclusive product to Interstellar Peace Corporation, the value of which perfectly complements the combat power to eliminate the Doomsday Beasts. There will be no negative chain reaction, and the space station can then legitimately ask this investor to invest more."

"...If you've already thought it through, and the space station will protect intellectual property rights and related interests, well, I'm relieved, but I feel like you're at a disadvantage."

"The esoteric rituals are merely a byproduct of my understanding of destiny; there's no need to be too concerned about them. By the way, what was the Society of Learned Scholars' reaction to this attack?"

"Partly out of mockery of Ms. Black Tower, and partly out of a desire to lend a helping hand, they said that as long as the space station acknowledges that the Erudite Society is no less than the Genius Club, they will spare no effort to provide assistance."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yi smiled.

"As fellow intellectuals, the attitude shown by the Erudite Society is quite interesting. How do you plan to respond?"

"To be honest, this means the space station has not been breached. Otherwise, the Academy would have had to send a message to the Legion. Now that communication has been restored, the Academy need not worry about the follow-up work."

While maintaining politeness, her words also carried a hint of retaliation, suggesting that Estelle has become accustomed to "friendly exchanges" with the Academy of Knowledge.

After glancing at the email interface displayed on the projection screen and confirming that the marked faction emails had been dealt with, Hua Yi continued with the stationmaster's last sentence.

"You don't need to keep an eye on the follow-up work."

"That's it..."

Estelle tilted her head, breaking away from her serious discussion of the situation. Her beautiful eyes revealed a mischievous glint, as well as a hint of hidden shyness.

She patted her thighs, which were sitting together.

"Now it's your turn to rest for a while, so lie down quickly!"

Is it possible for us to rest at the same time?

"what!"

The girl let out a gasp, not from sudden realization of a better solution, but from extreme embarrassment after making a certain association.

Seeing that her head seemed to be about to explode, Hua Yi kindly added.

"For example, I'll go back to my dorm, you'll go back to your place, and we'll each go to sleep, or—"

Or perhaps, sharing a bed?

Why do you only say half of what you mean?

Hearing his deliberately drawn-out tone, the quick-witted Estelle knew perfectly well that this guy was deliberately teasing her. In her embarrassment and anger, she immediately grabbed Hua Yi's head and pressed it against her lap.

"I've had enough sleep. Now it's your turn to rest. Hurry up and close your eyes!"

"Ah."

A beautiful girl's lap pillow is undoubtedly the most comfortable and wonderful pillow in the world.

Chapter 75 Childhood Sweethearts, You Pass!

"Have you heard? The attack by the antimatter legion this time is a thousand times more terrifying than we imagined. The number of virtual soldiers that Lady Black Tower's puppets eliminated in the safe zone was actually only a small part. The monster army outside was all held back by Lord Hua Yi."

After get off work, the female staff members, who were busy with the reconstruction work, finally had some free time. They picked up their smart devices, joined the fan group to chat, and exchanged the inside scoops they had received.

"The raiders among the illusory soldiers are the basic combat units of the legion. They may sound like cannon fodder, but they are equipped with antimatter and negative particles. You should understand the danger of these things. As a result, they couldn't even last a breath under Lord Hua Yi's sword."

"A breath? According to the instrument's observation data, the legion launched at least a thousand large-scale attacks. If it takes a breath to deal with a single raider, how could Lord Hua Yi have time to protect all of us? Even a large group of raiders couldn't withstand a single breath in the sea of ​​fire."

"I've already said that the Raider is just the basic combat unit among the Void Soldiers. There are those stronger than it, such as the Annihilator, then the Tamperer who can withstand the annihilation effect, and the Trampler who has fused with fragments of ancient beasts. Each one is more terrifying than the last, but none of them have been able to break through the defense line built by Lord Hua Yi alone."

The idol has become a hero, possessing not only scientific talent and personal charisma, but also the powerful force to protect everyone. How could the fans not be captivated by this?

“I guess Lord Hua Yi is a destined traveler of [destruction], which is why he was able to summon the flames of calamity to protect the space station.”

"The Antimatter Legion is the Destroyer Believers. How could [Destroyer] possibly fight [Destroyer]? Your statement is completely unreliable."

"How is it unreliable! The Destruction Star God Nanuk saw the ultimate principle of destruction that transcends the legion, and he lowered his gaze for it. That's the charm of Lord Hua Yi!"

"It's clearly [Preservation]! I've seen Lord Hua Yi's weapon, a flaming sword wreathed in flames. Legend has it that when King Kripper of Amber wields his giant hammer, it bursts forth with fire. Both are fire, and coupled with his act of protecting us, it's undoubtedly [Preservation] destiny. What are you thinking? You've even linked it to destruction."

"It's [wisdom]! [wisdom]! Lord Hua Yi is wise beyond measure and knowledgeable. He created a brand-new high-level secret instrument to help various departments in different research fields to achieve excellence. Isn't this a fact that we all know? Why do we still make wild guesses based on some superficial appearances?"

The group consists of space station members. Although many of them only have Level II access and are considered ordinary majority in the Star Museum, they were selected through a process that would make them exceptional individuals in the outside world. When expressing their opinions, they can all speak eloquently and logically.

While keeping an eye on the group chat messages, Wen Shiling, a little girl from the Department of Applied Physics, adopted the posture of a fan group manager, looking up and down at the gray-haired girl who had tried to rummage through the trash cans in the space station and had been stopped by her, and then curiously asked her all sorts of gossip.

Do you know Brother Hua Yi?

"Yes, I know him. I've known him since I had my memories."

"They're so familiar?!"

Xing was listening to Wen Shiling, who looked nothing like a clerk but rather like someone's child, explain the function of the strange object [Total Eclipse of the Heart].

That's a great thing! It can break down waste and turn it into materials that can be used in the laboratory. Doesn't that mean every trash can in the space station is a treasure chest, where anything can be turned from waste into treasure?

She was planning to ask how she could apply to use the Heart Eclipse. Perhaps Galaxy Baseball Man could collect all the junk in the space station and accumulate his first fortune through that artifact.

It might not fit in one bucket, but it could fill several buckets!

However, Wen Shiling stated that the discarded items in the space station belong to various departments, and the materials converted from the total eclipse will be returned according to their share, and do not belong to any single staff member.

The plan to open treasure chests in the trash can was a complete failure!

"Then let me ask you, of the three paths of destiny—[Destruction], [Preservation], and [Wisdom]—which path do you think Brother Hua Yi will follow? And which star god will favor him?"

"Uh... do I have to choose one of the three?"

Xing had previously fought alongside Hua Yi, and in a fleeting yet eternal moment in time, she received the gaze of the Destruction Star God Nanuk, personally experiencing and utilizing the power of destiny.

She could naturally tell that Hua Yi had used the power of [Destruction] at that time, but it seemed inappropriate to say it directly? After all, Hua Yi himself had not specifically publicized anything.

Besides, who is the God of Destruction? Nanuk! Hua Yi described him as a demon king whose head is about to be smashed. Since this God of Destruction is so generous in allowing him to use his destructive power, there's no reason why the two of us, Cunhu and Zhizhi, should act so stingy.

That's a star god, you know.

"I think the star gods corresponding to the three destinies should all be quite fond of them."

"!"
