However, Hua Yi remained calm and did not show any joy.
The credit point system built by the Interstellar Peace Corporation sets prices for all goods in the world. The immeasurable assets of 617 are gathered under the giant building of the company headquarters, Pierpoint, like a silent black hole, swallowing people's imagination about the end of wealth.
Countless people toil, fight, and trade, all for the numbers displayed on their terminals, but truly valuable items cannot be bought with credit points alone.
Just like Astaroth's desire to purchase Star Destroyers, she tried contacting relevant corporate giants directly and also tried posting high-value purchase orders, but to no avail.
The Star Peace Corporation's ability to set rules is not based on a purely credit-based system, nor is it simply because it seized the initiative.
Nearly eight hundred Amber Ages ago, the knocking of the warp shook the heavens and the earth. Silent colossi forged the barrier that stretched across the starry sky. Those who claimed to have received divine pronouncements began to act, to assist the star god Kripper in building the wall.
They believed the universe was in imminent danger and that building a wall was of utmost urgency. They called themselves the Star God's support team and were willing to dedicate everything to the Amber King.
This was by no means a hypocritical slogan that appeared grand on the surface but actually concealed something sordid. The support team at the time was indeed able to use the power of protection to drive the fleet to different star cores, purchase building materials such as stones, wood, gold, and super titanium, and transport the building materials to the subspace barrier without stopping, piling them up on the planetary wasteland.
Later, the support team established itself in Pierpoint and founded the Interplanetary Peace Corporation, setting its sights on deep space to fulfill its vision of dedication.
Today, even within companies that have grown into behemoths, perhaps not everyone is a fanatical believer in the King of Amber and follows the proper way to preserve it.
Because a significant portion of the staff are simply ordinary people busy with performance targets, not those on the path of [security], they constitute the vast majority.
However, it is not the majority who truly defend the authority of the Star Peace Corporation and the credit point system.
In a universe where gods truly exist, star gods and destiny are the sublime truth and the supreme rules.
A simple and pure framework.
Hua Yi has already entered the framework and abided by the relevant rules. Credit points can no longer attract his attention. Destiny is what is worth pursuing.
The Black Tower space station gave him the opportunity to explore [intelligence], the Star God simulation outlined the contours of [preservation] and [memory], and the countless phantom soldiers of the antimatter legion became the kindling to ignite the fire of [destruction].
All four paths of destiny are open, and by using the imaginary oars, one can create waves and mobilize the power of destiny in an extraordinary way.
However, if the waves are too big, they will attract the attention of the Star God, who will discover that there is an unconventional fellow who is juggling multiple paths and his fate is intertwined with many others.
The size of the waves does not entirely depend on Hua Yi. Even if he remains unmoved in terms of destiny, he will still create a significant phenomenon of river water crashing against the dam when facing an enemy like the Doomsday Beast, which is capable of causing a certain level of turmoil.
Coincidentally, a fifth option has now appeared: the Star Train, representing [exploration].
Unlike the previous four paths of destiny, the pioneering star god Archivist has perished. On this path of destiny without a supervisor, Hua Yi seems to be able to do whatever he wants.
Even considering the mysterious and unpredictable nature of celestial bodies with spirits, their demise does not necessarily mean a permanent exit. Furthermore, since there are intersections between star gods, a long-dormant pioneering path suddenly encountering a massive upheaval may attract the attention of other star gods. In terms of the level of power that can be mobilized, [pioneering] may still be superior to those paths with masters.
However, stirring up trouble on a path without a master takes on a more unique nature, with both advantages and disadvantages.
"Try it."
Hua Yi opened his palm, and the imaginary energy sometimes gently stirred [wisdom], creating ripples, and sometimes touched [destruction], indicating misfortune, and then condensed into the ice of [memory], igniting the fire of [protection], evolving in a corner of his palm a strange scene that broke the universal axioms.
Time and space are distorted under the laws of destiny. The paddle of imaginary numbers probes into the four long rivers of knowledge, destruction, memory and preservation in turn, and then resolutely leaves without letting any drop of water from any of the destinies splash onto it, leaving behind the unique aura of a certain destiny.
It remains free, unrestrained, and not bound by any destiny.
It began to explore entirely new territory, the path of no master that had lost its star god.
The imaginary oars become keys, unlocking the lock of unobservable truth little by little, knocking on the door of [exploration], and stirring up special waves on a destiny without the guidance of any star god.
hum...
Strange energy fluctuations spread from Hua Yi's fingertips, creating a shockwave in the enclosed room that ruffled his hair and clothes.
Tiny specks of light flowed, trailing trails of flame, drawing small circles around Hua Yi's fingertips before abruptly extinguishing, leaving only a fleeting brilliance in the mind of the sole witness and creator.
"It's as if I can see the Star Train exploring the universe, leaving behind a microcosm of star trails, but my understanding of [exploration] is still insufficient. And yet, there's a real Star Train parked on the platform, it's simply a naked temptation."
Shaking his head and dispersing the imaginary oars, Hua Yi wasn't in a hurry to visit the Star Train.
The truth is there; [pioneering] is only one aspect.
Chapter 79 The Invincible Star used a wall slam!
The space station's system clock accurately indicated the time. It was a new day. Hua Yin was able to conclude from the fluctuations in energy through the walls and doors that there was an energetic individual moving back and forth outside.
Why not try sending a message or knocking on the door?
It seems she was afraid of waking me up if I was sleeping in; she's quite considerate.
When he opened the hatch using the terminal in his residence, the girl outside thought there was a problem with the equipment, as she was waving her access card around, causing the recognition error.
Xing stood outside the open door, peeking in and out, torn between going in to warn Hua Yi, "The security system in your room isn't very reliable; it opened by itself as soon as I walked around," or staying outside to keep watch, preventing unauthorized personnel from entering and ensuring the great hero could continue to get a good night's sleep.
"Come in, I opened the door."
"Whoa whoa."
Amused by the Galaxy Bat Man's expressive face, Hua Yi noticed faint dark circles around his golden eyes.
"Did you stay up late?"
"Uh... I stayed up for a while, reading novels and downloading games. The Interstellar Peace Network is really interesting, hehe."
"I thought you were staying up all night shopping. Did you receive the credits I transferred to you?"
"Huh, what credit points?"
She subconsciously asked a question, and then the gray-haired girl realized what was happening, picked up the terminal and operated it for a while. Sure enough, she saw that the wallet balance, which should have been zero, had turned into a long string of numbers.
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands...millions, tens of millions!"
"This is your living expenses for now. There aren't many places to spend money inside the space station. Food and lodging are provided according to your rank. If you want to buy other things, you can mainly rely on online shopping. I'll send you a few shopping websites."
Yesterday, Xing was still trying to make a living by opening treasure chests in the trash cans to earn her first pot of gold. However, she was deeply disappointed when she learned that the Heart Eclipse was not a magical object that could be used at will, and that the materials it produced belonged to various departments.
Today, she was shocked to find herself a wealthy person with tens of millions of assets, having achieved financial freedom.
Moreover, Hua Yi only mentioned "living expenses in the near future," which means there may be another payment in a while!
It seems like I no longer need to try.
Life is full of ups and downs, and then another great rise, soaring to new heights. The girl who had lost her memories of the past could never have imagined such a development. She stood there dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
The novels in the fan group seem to have similar plots. In the novel, the handsome Hua Yi, a rising star on the space station, very domineeringly tells the female protagonist, "I will take care of you." In return, the girl in the book begins to take good care of her lover's daily life and tries all sorts of ways to please him.
Luckily, I stayed up late reading the novel last night, so now I have some reference material!
Galaxy Baseball Man had no intention of forcibly refusing the living expenses. After all, it was Hua Yi who was paying the money. The two had been childhood sweethearts since they could remember. Even if it was only the girl's side, let alone starting a cohabitation life, she could at least take care of his daily life and please him. There was simply no reason for her to resist.
Xing's eyes immediately fell on Hua Yi's bed, ready to take care of his daily life, tidy up the bedding, and smooth out the sheets. But there was not a mess there. Then she looked at the great hero's clothes. He was dressed properly, and his collar and sleeves were neat and tidy.
"...Have you eaten?"
"Hmm, the food delivery robot came by before. What's wrong, are you hungry?"
"Ahem, I've already eaten."
Xing then realized that she didn't seem to have any memory of cooking. Although it was possible that she could tap into her body's potential and act on instinct, just like she could when fighting with a baseball bat, it was still a bit dangerous to compete against the space station's professional cooking robots right away.
If I had known this would happen, I should have sought out the train crew to learn some cooking skills. For example, Himeko's coffee was specifically mentioned by the navigator, so it must taste extraordinary. I had to try it and learn how to make it.
With her plan to take care of his daily needs temporarily unsuccessful, Xing turned her attention to how to win Hua Yi's favor.
Hey, there's a lot of information in those novels that I can use as a reference!
The knowledge gained from staying up all night to study flowed through the girl's mind, giving her a sudden, enlightening realization. It was as if the door to truth had quietly opened, and the lock of puzzles could not stop Galaxy Baseball Man's thirst for knowledge.
The Black Tower Space Station is a world-renowned hub of intelligence. Anyone working there is exceptional, and the fan base is full of talented individuals. Their romance fantasy novels are undoubtedly the culmination of their wisdom.
As for me, Xing, I spent an entire evening reading through all the chat logs and selected novels in the group. Like a sponge, I constantly absorb knowledge and have now become a master in the field of romance.
Wisdom and knowledge are emerging in an endless stream. Yes, even though it is slightly different from the turbulent fate I experienced when I was being watched by the star god Nanuk, and there is no feeling of power flowing, I think I have now received the humility of the [Wisdom] Venerable One.
At this moment, I am invincible!
.......0 0
Hua Yi watched as Xing went from being deep in thought to being full of enthusiasm, exuding a different kind of aura. He saw her suddenly stand up and pull him towards a corner of the room.
He cooperated with the girl's actions throughout, waiting to see how things would develop.
Xing pulled Hua Yi to the corner of the wall, positioned herself on the outside, and stood opposite him, then surveyed the surroundings once more.
The environment was right, the position was right, and the timing was absolutely perfect.
Watch me show you my skills!
boom.
The right hand that had been relentlessly attacking the Doomsday Beast with a baseball bat earlier was now forcefully braced against the wall next to Hua Yi, making a powerful sound. The girl's outstretched arms and upright body formed a circle around him, leaving him with nowhere to escape or avoid.
This move is called "wall slam," a romantic technique from novels. It's mentioned in several works among fans and is considered an invincible move that will definitely increase your favorability.
That's not enough; you also need to pay attention to your facial expressions.
Recalling the relevant descriptions in the novel, Xing's face revealed the legendary wicked and arrogant smile.
"..."
From Hua Yi's perspective, the tall, gray-haired beauty pinned herself against the wall in a very professional manner, quietly casting her gaze at him, her lips curving upwards into a strange arc.
He checked again and again, making sure he wasn't mistaken—the Galaxy Baseball Man's smile contained three parts mockery, three parts indifference, three parts disdain, and three parts a distorted smile.
Chapter 80 The Secret Ritual Resumes
All of this together makes it incredibly interesting.
"puff."
Hua Yi was amused and laughed out loud.
Where did you learn those facial expressions?
"Hmph, I can't say, but it's super useful, isn't it?"
Seeing that Hua Yi was very happy after being coaxed, Xing achieved her goal and proudly raised her head. She quickly rubbed the corner of her mouth that she almost couldn't hold back, and felt her face trembling slightly.
Using a special skill in a forceful manner definitely comes at a price.
"It's mainly because you're a beautiful girl, so any expression you make will have an extra boost. Otherwise, without that three-tenths of your smile lines being out of balance, your wicked and arrogant smile would make you look a bit like a villain, wouldn't you say?"
"You actually know about 'Evil Charm and Arrogance'? Did you also anonymously join the fan group?!"
"I guessed. I'll just pretend I didn't hear the second half of that sentence. If I actually sneaked into a place where a group of girls are whispering online, wouldn't I seem out of touch with romance?"
Seeing Xing still grimacing, Hua Yi gently stroked the corner of her lips with his fingers, using professional techniques in accordance with medical standards to soothe the girl's facial muscles.
"Any other tricks you'd like to use?"
Galaxy Bat Man's gaze was slightly unfocused. He was the one using his special move to increase favorability, but why did he feel that compared to Hua Yi, who was all smiles and still in complete control, he was the one who was most affected?
First, I received the compliment "You're a beautiful girl," and then I was gently stroked on the cheek... cough cough, I really still need to continue my studies in the group and keep up the good work.
"That's all, not available for now."
"Next, I'm heading to the lab to complete the optimized version of the Secret Ritual of the Bud of Wisdom and create an intermediate-level Destiny Product. Are you planning to just come along and watch the show, or do something else, like shopping online for something you're interested in?"
"Of course I'll follow you! How can I waste credits, especially since you gave them to me—by the way, how many credits would it cost to buy that [Heart Eclipse] from the space station that can turn trash into treasure?"
"Although the Department of Applied Physics treats some oddities as commodities for sale, it is limited to those that lack research or practical value. The Heart Eclipse ranks among the top in terms of practicality and research value among all oddities. It is an important component of the space station's resource cycle and is not for sale."
Upon hearing this, Xing became dejected.
"That's it..."
"Credit points are not everything. The reason why Interstellar Peace Corporation has become such a behemoth is not because it has money."
"Is it because he gained the favor of the Amber King, Cripper?"
"That's not quite accurate. Some Star Gods don't specifically grant power to mortals. IX of [Void] is a representative of this, and Cripper of [Preservation] focuses on building walls. The company's ability to use Preservation power isn't just due to luck; it depends more on itself. And you just happen to be the Galaxy Baseball Man who can carve out your own niche."
"Oh!"
Hua Yi could tell that Xing was already planning how to achieve great things and obtain the rare artifact he longed for.
“I could ask for the Heart of Total Eclipse directly, and the space station wouldn’t refuse. However, I don’t intend to do so. It’s not that you, beautiful girl, are less important than a rare artifact, but rather it’s a matter of weighing the application scenarios and the level of demand. Besides, the Heart of Total Eclipse will break down after operating for a long time and will often need the maintenance department to take care of it. It’s not as useful as you think.”
Hua Yi casually retrieved the usage and maintenance report of the Heart of Total Eclipse and sent it to Xing's personal terminal. He then strode towards the laboratory.
In the gray-haired girl's heart, Total Eclipse was a treasure, but it was far less important than her childhood sweetheart.
