I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

The special plants cultivated here have not yet undergone complete safety testing, and any unauthorized contact may lead to unpredictable consequences!

The following adverse reactions have been identified:

Illusions such as seeing little people with bubbles rising from their heads, star gods riding piggy banks, credit points flying everywhere, and snacks crawling all over the ground appear.

A sudden change in personality often manifests as a sudden urge to reveal secrets to colleagues or superiors.

If you have a confused sense of self, and you think of yourself as a rice cooker or a ballpoint pen, don't doubt it, you're in danger.

They confidently fabricate something false, such as a non-existent warning or a fabricated adverse reaction.

The notice's description of the adverse reactions was very vivid and descriptive, especially the phrase "the star god riding a piggy bank," which aroused endless curiosity.

Even Hua Yi couldn't help but imagine, combining the sentient celestial body with the pig-like interdimensional creature in his mind, trying to sketch its appearance.

The Black Tower Space Station is truly open and inclusive. Even though it reveres the Star God of Knowledge, and the Interstellar Peace Corporation, which provides economic support behind it, is a follower of the Star God, the term "Star God" is not subject to any additional strict restrictions. People can still let their minds fly, give themselves wings of imagination, and add a subtle mount to the Star God.

This also suggests that the Star Gods, who seem to embody philosophical concepts, are indeed indifferent to how mortals arrange things for them in a corner of the starry sky.

Otherwise, even if the crooked handwriting in the latter half of the notice proves that the writer has become mentally unstable, the Star God would not allow such words that damage his image and dignity to remain for long.

Given the dangers of plants, please move away immediately and seek assistance from the space station if any adverse reactions or other abnormalities occur!

Otherwise, you will... you will...

Ah~ like me... become a... happy pen...

Riding a piggy bank...

In this galaxy, catch the rain of credits...

Then eat those snacks that have grown legs...

Hua Yi looked at the notice with amusement. The person who wrote the warning was really thoughtful. In order to prove the danger of the special plants inside the isolation window, they risked their own life to let the facts speak for themselves and show the serious consequences of unauthorized contact with the plants.

The base module of the space station has a dedicated monitoring room. It is not a forgotten place hidden in a blind spot of monitoring or untouched by anyone. Judging from the color of the sticky notes, it should have existed for some time.

The Black Tower space station may have taken this as a more convincing notice, discouraging any crew members who dared to tamper with the special plant before it underwent comprehensive safety testing. From another perspective, Hua Yi could also determine just how unknowable the Star God had become.

Making wild guesses about celestial deities is not a crime; in fact, it is a common research method used by many scholars. When mortals try to understand such spiritual celestial bodies, they can only make inferences based on clues or even vague legends that are difficult to verify.

The fact that the space station did not deliberately delete or alter the sticky note left by a crew member, allowing the image of "a star god riding a piggy bank" to arouse the imagination of onlookers, is enough to show that this offense was insignificant.

That is why the unintentional lowering of the gaze of the aloof and distant star god is a great blessing.

Otherwise, if arbitrarily arbitrarily composing star gods could gain the attention of mysterious higher beings, there would surely be no shortage of madmen in the universe willing to risk their lives.

Therefore, I will use imaginary energy to simulate the power of destiny in the future, and borrow its magic when necessary, or even change some things through the influence of certain star god factions in the universe. They wouldn't mind, would they?

Hua Yi was relieved.

Next, based on the infinite knowledge of the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls and even the Black Tower Space Station, and by observing the truths of the universe, one can properly utilize the talent of imaginary numbers within the framework of rules.

Oil and water are both liquids, but if one confuses them without knowing the difference and pours them into a fire, the consequences will be completely different.

Treating imaginary energy as a broad category of liquid, the difference between destinies is like that between oil and water. The characteristics of the latter have long been clearly explained, while the research on the former is still shrouded in mystery. This aligns with the concepts of Hua Yi and Guang Yuan's Secret Scrolls Department, and even the entire Black Tower Space Station.

He was simply seeking the truth.

Chapter 9 Little Fans

Left [hunting], right [harmony], [wisdom] in the heart, [protection] in the chest!

On the first day of the new year, following the custom of seeking good fortune during specific festivals or events in his hometown, Hua Yi pondered for a moment, then wrote down a passage that conveyed auspicious meaning while showing reverence for the star gods. He placed it on his desk, hoping to use metaphysics to further improve his efficiency in acquiring knowledge, recognizing truth, and understanding his destiny.

The new clerk has completed all his work. The department did not immediately assign him new tasks based on the principle of "the capable should do more" just because Hua Yi performed well. It would be fine even if he did not show up at his workstation today.

However, access to the space station's internal database requires the use of certified terminal devices.

The ranks of staff members are roughly divided into four levels, from lowest to highest: Level I, Level II, Level III, and Level IV. Hua Yi, being a newcomer, belongs to Level II staff member.

The reason he didn't start from Level I wasn't because his talent caught the attention of the department and led to a rapid promotion, but because Level I employee badges are generally not available.

In the Black Tower space station, where permissions are required at every turn, a Level I employee badge can probably only be used to open the toilet door.

The amount of information that a Level II access holder can access is limited. Even with the convenience of being a staff member of the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department, it won't be long before Hua Yi can read through all those precious documents and develop a complete understanding of the scientific knowledge of the Starry Sky Railway universe and the basic rules of imaginary numbers.

"Young Master Hua."

"..."

"Hua Shao, you look so handsome when you're working hard! Hehehe, no wonder you're the brightest star on the space station besides Lord Black Tower!"

It wasn't until the voice rang out again, this time closer, that Hua Yi finally realized the subtle address was directed at him.

Behind them, the little girl in the clerk's uniform had sparkling eyes.

"Oh, now that I see you up close, I realize even more how gentle, humble, mature, and calm you are. It must be your excellent inner character that gives you such a perfect appearance... Ah! This must be the meaning of 'the face reflects the heart'!"

Although the space station allows visitors to tour it, it does not offer any special treatment to children, such as dressing them in specially designed staff uniforms to experience the work and life of researchers.

The little girl in front of me is definitely not a tourist.

"Are you Wen Shiling, a Level II staff member in the Department of Universal Physics?"

"Wow! Hua Shao actually knows me, that's great!"

The little girl cheered.

"That's right, that's right. Shi Ling is in the Department of Applied Physics. Hua Shao, would you like to study strange objects? Shi Ling will send them to you!"

In the Black Tower space station, where talent abounds, it is quite rare for a child to become a formal staff member, just like many adults who have undergone rigorous selection.

If a newcomer suddenly saw a little girl claiming to be a staff member of the Department of Applied Physics, they would inevitably feel strange. However, Hua Yi had already grasped the basic information about the space station and clearly remembered the information of Wen Shiling in front of him.

She is a child who fits the appearance, and also a little genius. She is able to inspect strange items according to the requirements of the Department of Applied Materials and complete routine warehouse spot checks.

Of course, no matter how intelligent a child is, it would be difficult for them to travel through interstellar space alone, participate in the selection process for the Black Tower Space Station, or even take care of themselves after joining the station.

However, both the former and current heads of the Universal Physics Department share the surname Wen, and Wen Shiling's onboarding process differs from that of ordinary staff members.

Without emphasizing the importance of background and connections, nor intending to use the position of Wen Shiling, a little fan, to bypass the cumbersome procedures and study those magical artifacts that are considered treasures scattered throughout the universe, Hua Yi spoke gently, adopting the demeanor of a friendly older brother.

"Just call me by my name, otherwise it feels so arrogant for a newcomer like me to become 'Young Master Hua'."

"Eh?...Then I'll call you Brother Hua Yi, okay?"

"it is good."

Some people are better known than they are known in person, while others are better known than they are known in person.

Listening to Hua Yi's gentle voice and seeing his friendly and handsome smile, Wen Shiling felt more and more clearly that this super newcomer, who had been mentioned by many department members in a short period of time and was known as very handsome, very dignified, and very easy to get along with, truly lived up to his reputation.

Those people's praise was rather understated.

"Shiling heard that Huayi had optimized the database indexing program for the Star Domain Seed Science, so she went to take a look. Then, she tried to do the same in the Universal Applications Science, optimizing the warehouse list. She found it really useful and finished her work an hour earlier than usual. Later—"

Later, I saw some female staff members secretly taking photos of you. I discovered that the person who could optimize the database in a simple and effective way was also so handsome. He had both brains and good looks, so I immediately decided to establish a "Hua Shao Fan Club".

I came all this way because I wanted to see my idol in person.

It's even more perfect than I imagined!

He has a really nice smile.

"Brother Hua Yi, would you like to study rare artifacts? Hmph, I'm not bragging, but the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls and other research departments all rely on the Department of Universal Applications to some extent. They either need funding or rare artifacts. With my authority, I can't directly allocate funds to Brother Hua Yi, but helping him allocate rare artifacts for research is no problem!"

"That's not right."

Hua Yi shook his head and put on a serious expression as he began to lecture the little fan he had unexpectedly gained.

"Since you are a staff member of the space station, you should act in accordance with normal regulations and not abuse your power."

"What kind of abuse is this? Shiling knows that Brother Huayi has helped many staff members. Even Level III staff members couldn't complete those research reports properly because they involved knowledge gaps. But Brother Huayi was able to offer valuable suggestions! Level II staff member status is only temporary. You will definitely be promoted soon. Shiling is just treating you as a senior staff member ahead of schedule."

"Would you also go over to other senior staff members and ask them what strange items they need? That would be a lot of work and not good for a child's development."

"No, no, Brother Hua Yi is different—hehe, from now on, I'm your number one fan on the space station!"

Compared to the seasoned veterans who have spent years working on the space station, or the relatively younger staff members who are mostly able to control their emotions with rationality, the little girl is obviously a bit naive and innocent.

If Hua Yi were to encourage Wen Shiling to use her position to allocate strictly controlled advanced artifacts from the space station, or even attempt to climb the ranks by leveraging the power of the two Wen-surnamed directors of the Universal Physics Department, it would undoubtedly have a serious negative impact on the little girl if exposed.

"Oh, is that so? Should I prepare a fan gift for you? That's a problem, I need to think about it. As for bringing me strange items or anything that violates the space station's regulations, you can't say or even think about it anymore, otherwise if the Department of Applied Physics finds out, at the very least you'll be locked up in a dark room."

Chapter 10 Increase revenue and reduce expenditure

If I were locked in a dark room, wouldn't I be unable to continue collecting Hua Yi's handsome photos, as well as his dietary preferences and leisure interests?

What a severe punishment!

Wen Shiling shrank back in fright.

However, if her brother Hua Yi needs a rare item, she is willing to take the risk.

How can the rising star of the Black Tower Space Station be treated like an ordinary staff member? If it is restricted by authority and procedures and cannot quickly apply for artifacts for research, that would be a huge loss to scientific research!

With Hua Yi's talent, he will become a top figure on the space station sooner or later. Shi Ling is just taking out what is rightfully his in advance. After Hua Yi amazes the world, I might even be a great contributor!

The little girl thought this way not because she was unaware of the consequences of abusing her power, nor because she lacked respect for the rules and regulations of the space station; she simply trusted the handsome older brother in front of her.

However, upon hearing that the other party was considering gifts for his fans, she decisively refused the offer to help retrieve the strange object. Seeing Hua Yi's earnest lecturing expression at the end, the little girl could not quickly understand what kind of integrity he had shown under the temptation of external things, nor could she understand how much goodwill his advice was.

But one thing is certain: Brother Hua Yi is a good person!

The young fan's admiration intensified, and she took the opportunity to chatter inquiring about what her handsome and gentle idol had eaten on the space station recently and what kind of set meal he liked.

Outside the office area, on a high-class rest platform inaccessible to ordinary staff members, stood a gaunt old man with a hunched back, squinting at the newcomer from the Guangyuan Secret Examination Papers Department.

He removed the high-performance headset he was wearing, a culmination of scientific and technological advancements. It was an advanced device that many ordinary planetary civilizations combined could not produce. It could detect minute vibrations in the air, and researchers could use it to determine whether there were any abnormal sound changes in precise experiments. With slight modifications, it could also become a "super-hearing device" at a certain distance.

Rubbing his ears, which were still aching from Wen Shiling's loud shouts in the distance, Wen Huairen, the former head of the Department of Applied Physics, stared intently at Hua Yi in the office area.

"He actually refused? This young man..."

As a Level II staff member, Wen Shiling was a young girl who lacked the maturity of truly experienced staff members. Even though she was intelligent, how could she possibly complete all the tasks on the space station without any mistakes if she was left unsupervised?

For some large electronic devices alone, such young children cannot reach the control panel.

Wen Huai-ren knew that Shi-ling had previously gathered information about Hua-yi, and that she was planning to establish a fan club. He had even anticipated that this little girl would try to curry favor with her idol, so he decided to turn a blind eye.

Back when Wen Huai-ren was in charge of the Department of Universal Applications, the research funding for every credit point was meticulously calculated, not to mention applications for rare items.

Wen Huairen was known for his sharp eye; he bought many rare and unique items from Interstellar Peace Company at low prices, which subsequently soared to extremely high market value in the interstellar market.

Back then, Wanyou Applied Physics, which was in its development stage, grew stronger by acting as a middleman, and while increasing its revenue, it did not forget to cut costs.

In summary, it is about opening up the source of biological science and saving the flow of general science.

Those were truly glorious years. I still remember how the Department of Geosciences worked hard to advance its research by piecing together star-finding probes from scraps. It's nothing like how they ask for money so easily now.

Well, although the Department of Geography applied for research funding from the Department of Applied Physics countless times, Wen Huai-ren did not approve it. Even after being beaten up by José Lazaro from the Department of Geography, Wen Huai-ren remained steadfast in his commitment to the principle of cost-saving.

Now that his son Wen Mingde is the head of the Department of Universal Applied Physics, the approved research funding has increased. Even though there are more and more cases where the supplier is listed as [Black Tower·Universal Applied Physics] on the labels of the goods sold by Interstellar Peace Company, Wen Huairen still warned his son to pay attention to cutting expenses. Unfortunately, Wen Mingde did not listen to his father.

With the various research departments now thriving, Wen Huai-ren has no reason to blame his son for poor management.

At this moment, the discerning Wen Huairen realized that he had misjudged the newcomer, or rather, he had not expected that the newcomer's character would be so noble.

Wen Huairen had originally planned to inform his son and let Shiling cause trouble within certain limits.

As a result, the young man from the Secret Scrolls Department, who was new to the place, was able to resist the temptation of the strange object!

These are wondrous objects, strange things scattered throughout the universe, most of which are difficult to replicate with science and technology. They possess various special effects or properties. On the Black Tower Space Station, when a cadet applies for a wondrous object, it often means obtaining a high-level paper, which is an important criterion for promotion.

At the same time, if staff members are unable to produce decent research results over a long period of time and perform mediocrely, the space station will not renew their contracts after the contract period ends. Therefore, it is not a big problem to equate the strange objects with the career of researchers.

Hua Yi actually refused.

Wen Huairen could tell that this young man was not unaware of the importance of the strange object. He could call out Shiling's name and was not confused by the term "strange object," which clearly showed that he understood the science of universal application of things.

Knowing full well that there were huge benefits right in front of him, he simply refused and instead advised Wen Shiling.

"Tsk, even if you're a decent person, I can't let the Department of Applied Physics allocate funds to you for research for no reason, much less give you the strange object to study without having received an application submitted through the normal process... At most, I'll just add your name to the department's backend and increase your priority."

The notoriously stingy old man in the eyes of countless people on the Black Tower Space Station muttered something incoherently.

"How about we recruit Hua Yi to the Department of Universal Applied Physics? With his thinking and skills in optimizing the database of the World Species, he can also make great strides in my Department of Applied Physics. What is he doing in the Secret Scrolls Department? Is he collecting the beards of the old guys in the space station to hold secret rituals? If Mingde hadn't been unwilling to continue cutting costs, I would definitely have cut off the funding for the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department. The results produced are disproportionate to the funds invested, and the rate of return is too low."
