I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Sure enough, everyone on the space station was a good person, and the girl who liked Hua Yi as much as I did was an even better person.

Estella happily downloaded the latest novel uploaded to the group file, partly to check the quality of the entry and partly to indirectly understand the group members' thoughts as she read it.

"The Handsome Clerk Falls in Love with Me", "About My Falling in Love with Lord Hua Yi", "The Man Next Door Is Destined to Amaze the World", "Can a Passerby Like Me Be Loved by a Hero?"...

Congratulations! Encouraged by the essay contest, the number of novels in the group files has increased significantly, and there has been some innovation in the subject matter.

Many of these stories set Hua Yi's home planet as his hometown, using his neighbors, classmates, and childhood sweethearts as entry points to develop quite interesting narratives.

There are even stories like "I'm the Childhood Sweetheart, But I Couldn't Beat the Sudden Lover," where the protagonist, Estella, sees her own name appear in the novel, transforming into a character who overpowers her childhood sweetheart and makes her the loser. She doesn't know how to react.

She did indeed secretly establish a relationship with Hua Yi behind the backs of her group members, and this act of sneaking around seemed to match some plot points in the novel.

Feeling guilty, the group leader stuck out his tongue and continued browsing the novel list. He then spotted a familiar name.

"Taking the ultimate move head-on," is that a username?

Her novel actually received several votes, and even though it didn't make it into the top three in total votes, it was still quite popular and well-received by many people.

Uh, "I'm so strong when I'm being watched by the Venerable Master"?

Although the celestial beings with spirits are high above, mysterious and unpredictable, and will not react to a few words from mortals, within the [intellectual] camp of the space station, apart from Lady Black Tower herself, no one dares to claim that they have gained the favor of that god of knowledge.

Even in fantasy novels with a romance theme, it is somewhat unconventional for the author to directly mention the Venerable Master of Broad Knowledge to flaunt his own wisdom.

Aistar, both amused and exasperated, split her screen into two: one to display the content of Xing's novel, and the other to search for group members' reviews of the novel.

"humor."

"The idea of ​​being watched by the Venerable Master is just very imaginative."

"A user name that can take a big hit in the face is definitely an interesting person."

"The female protagonist in the book makes money by rummaging through trash cans and never conducts any scientific research. Is it only because she found the trash can belonging to the erudite scholar that she received the favor of the star god?"

"To be honest, I feel that the interactions between the female lead and Lord Hua Yi are quite realistic. When she was sleeping against the cold wall, he gently placed his hand on the back of her head. And when they were 'wall-pinning' each other, it wasn't that Lord Hua Yi was captivated by the female lead's charm, but rather that the clumsy girl's smile muscles were out of control."

"Three parts mockery, three parts indifference, three parts disdain—is this really the smile one should show when cornering Lord Hua Yi against the wall? The description is a bit off, but it's still quite amusing to read."

"It should be three parts tenderness, three parts infatuation, and three parts unforgettable love."

Are your faces pie charts?

After reading other people's reviews of the novel about taking a big hit in the face, Estella covered her mouth and chuckled for a while, then became thoughtful.

She felt that the content was not fabricated.

I remember the Star Core Hunter infiltrated the Dark Realm and stuffed the Star Core into Xing's chest. Hua Yi also mentioned that the girl fell into a coma for a while during the process.

He thoughtfully used his palm as a pillow for the girl, paying attention to such details; that's definitely a consideration he would make.

In other words, Galaxy Baseball Man later privately cornered Hua Yi against a wall?

hiss!

Estella gasped, never expecting Xing to be so fierce.

How long have she known Hua Yi?!

This is what some novels refer to as "straightforwardness," a very distinctive and endearing trait that often gives a huge advantage in the battle of love.

Considering that writing a novel also takes time, the other party must have taken action much earlier. The stationmaster felt incredibly fortunate that she had sensed the crisis in time and mustered up the courage to express her feelings to Hua Yi. Otherwise, wouldn't she have been overtaken by Xing and become the loser?

Galaxy Baseball Man is terrifyingly powerful!

In a room on the space station, Xing, who was holding her smart terminal and waiting for the group leader to announce the competition results, praying that her novel would meet the writing criteria and earn her first pot of gold, was unaware that she had already shocked Estella in a special way.

"I don't need to be in the top three, I just need a participation prize, please please."

By the way, who do people usually pray to? The star gods?

Then it can't be Nanuk, the god of destruction. Even though he had received his gaze, the star felt that [destruction] was not very reliable.

"Hunting on the left, harmonizing on the right, wisdom in my heart, protection in my chest—May the Star God bless me!"

Chapter 109 Am I awesome or not?

"The novels submitted to this writing contest are all wonderful and imaginative. Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation, which has enriched the group's intellectual resources. I have decided to increase the rewards on top of the previously announced ones."

With a mere two million credits, given Aistar's financial resources and wishes, her preferred way to increase the bet would be to add two zeros to the end.

But if that happens, the group members will definitely be able to guess my real identity.

Looking at the Applied Physics Department's income and expenditure reports, credit points reaching hundreds of millions usually appear in large departmental projects and are rarely related to individuals. Spending such a huge sum of money on a novel writing contest is something that few people in the entire station could do.

Even if the girl doesn't think it's a huge sum of money, she still has to consider the priorities.

As the station chief, if he were to invest far more money than usual in matters unrelated to scientific research, it would be tantamount to sending the wrong signal to the people on the space station, telling them that spending time on the essay contest would be far more useful than doing their regular work.

So all Estelle could do was double the prize money and then make it a long-term program to provide stable support to the young literary girls who poured their hearts into it.

"The final rankings have been announced, and the prize money will be transferred to the creators' online accounts within a short period of time. If you have any questions about the rankings, you can send me a private message to provide feedback."

"How could there be any doubt? This is exactly the same as the voting result."

"We are so grateful that the group owner funded the event himself. Thank you so much, group owner!"

"Yes! If we really think about it, what everyone is most worried about is that the group leader has invested so much, will he be so poor that he can only afford basic meals every day?"

"Hmm, it seems there's another way to deduce the group owner's true identity. First, he must be a high-ranking official in some department, plus the fact that he suddenly started saving money..."

"Why are you always trying to pry into other people's privacy? Let's make this clear: even if we do run into someone, we'll just quietly buy them a deluxe meal. We can't put such a good group admin in a difficult position."

The girls in the group had no idea about the little rich girl's wealth. They had already sketched in their minds a selfless figure who would rather eat coarse food and save money to keep the fan group lively and support everyone's creations.

In a short period of time, Aistar received a series of private messages, all full of concern, as if they were afraid that the group leader would fall into a financial crisis. Many girls took the initiative to offer to support her with food, clothing and other necessities.

From childhood to adulthood, some people regarded the young lady's love for astronomy as heresy and condescending preaching, while others coveted her family's assets and tried to seize them with hypocritical faces.

However, no one ever thought she was poor, or even so poor that she couldn't afford to eat.

Aistar was both amused and touched. She replied to each of the kind group members, explaining that a new essay contest would be launched soon and that there was no need to worry about funding.

Among them were stars who successfully earned their first pot of gold.

Previously, Hua Yi had given her tens of millions of yuan in pocket money, so the 200,000 credits the girl earned by writing her own novel this time were just a drop in the bucket.

The dignified Galaxy Baseball Hero pursues the meaning of fighting alone. Now that he has achieved his goal, he will return all the prize money, and even add some money of his own to support the group leader who is in financial crisis.

As it turns out, she unnamed said her savings were enough to support even more essay competitions.

"As a partner who fights alongside Hua Yi, shouldn't I also contribute to building his fan base?"

Xing muttered to himself as he did some calculations.

Four million credits can greatly motivate group members. Before the group leader increases the amount, only two million credits are needed. With their own funds, they can also prepare similar activities.

The group admin is holding an essay contest, so I can also have a wall-slamming contest!

How great would it be if everyone went to "wall-slam" Hua Yi together, and ranked them based on the results?

Well, there's no need to rush into thinking about these things now.

To write his novel, Galaxy Batman hadn't been able to work with his reliable comrades, close partners, and kind-hearted friends who took good care of him for a while. Now that he had earned 200,000 credits through his own abilities, of course he had to treat them to a meal!

If Hua Yi used his own money to treat everyone, it would be hard to say who was treating whom, but the young woman no longer needs to worry about that.

He also happened to become the second station commander, so it's only right to celebrate.

Half an hour later, Hua Yi let someone pull him through the space station, amusedly examining the person's profile.

With her grey hair, golden eyes, and tall figure, this tall girl would undoubtedly appear aloof and unattainable if she were to suppress her expressions. However, the various little expressions she makes always seem a bit naive, directly stifling any possibility of her developing into an ice queen.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Restaurant, I've made some money, I'll treat you to a big meal."

"Oh? I didn't expect that Galaxy Bat Man could not only face Doomsday Beasts in combat, but also make a name for himself in life."

"Yes, yes, that's how amazing I am."

Xing nodded smugly, her pride written all over her face.

"I didn't squander the money you gave me. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I started from scratch and earned 200,000 in just two days. Isn't that amazing? Cough cough, I can't go into the details; I need to keep it a secret."

"Trade secrets, I understand."

"100,000 a day, if this continues, I can earn 10,000 credits independently in just 100 days."

"Don't forget about living expenses such as food and clothing. If you go out, you also need to calculate travel and accommodation costs."

"Oh right, that would take more than a hundred days, that seems like quite a long time."

Having temporarily lost her memory of the past, the young girl understood the hardships of life early on and began to reflect on her existence.

"Making money is really not easy."

"This is still at the Black Tower Space Station, one of the world's leading research bases. In a truly ordinary planetary civilization, the speed of economic circulation would be much slower—so, don't you plan to use those 200,000 credits in a more meaningful way? Like buying something you like as a souvenir or something."

“It’s too small, too small-scale. I definitely have to treat you to a meal to commemorate this.”

Upon arriving at the ordering area and approaching the silent, floating little robot, Xing suddenly turned around, opening her arms wide with a rather grand air, as if to embrace all the delicious food.

"What's good to eat? Bring it all up to me!"

"Hello, this is an ordering robot at your service. User identification failed. Please maintain a proper posture and do not shake your badge or face."

"Uh, okay."

Upon seeing the blurry human figure on the robot's screen, which appeared to be covered in a mosaic, the girl, who had been gesturing wildly, stood at attention.

Chapter 110 Hmph, you're captivated by me, aren't you?

"This drink called Calibai has two versions. One is produced by Interstellar Peace Corporation, and the other is labeled Black Tower Universal Solution. I have tried both, and I feel that the Space Station version tastes better, and of course, it is also more expensive. After all, you get what you pay for."

While food takes time to cook, drinks can be delivered immediately. Xingxing excitedly spun the bottle as the delivery robot brought her a soft drink, showing it to Huayi.

"Look, as the angle changes, Calbee can refract a deep blue light and has endless bubbles, which is why it's called an anti-gravity drink. Isn't that amazing?"

The girl excitedly shared the characteristics of the soft drink, completely forgetting that Hua Yi was more familiar with the space station than she was.

Even more coincidentally, the Black Tower version of the Calicut recipe also passed through his hands, and he held related shares.

Hua Yi knew the external characteristics and specific ingredients of the uncrowned king of the soft drink industry very well. However, he discovered that Xing was in high spirits. He appropriately showed his curiosity, listened carefully to the introduction, and then showed a look of surprise, as if he had been looking at Xing with new eyes after three days.

"Indeed, you're quite good at observing."

"Hmph, what do you mean by 'Galaxy Baseball Man'?"

"Then why didn't Batman assess the situation and observe the enemy's weaknesses when fighting the Doomsday Beast? Why did he insist on charging headlong into the Hand of Calamity?"

"Hey, you finally defeated the Doomsday Beast? Why did I bother with all that effort?"

Xing clicked open the bottle cap of Kali White and held it to Hua Yi's lips, using the action of feeding him water to encourage him to concentrate on tasting the drink and stop questioning the wisdom and intelligence of Galaxy Baseball Man, who was both scholarly and athletic.

"How is it? Isn't it delicious?"

"Yes. The diligent young lady earned her first pot of gold and did not hesitate to treat everyone. This is no longer just a simple drink; it embodies your sweat and hard work, so it is naturally hundreds or thousands of times better than a regular Calbee."

From the very beginning, Xing's smile never stopped. She was radiant, as if the blood flowing from her heart to her limbs was singing a song, making her full of energy and boundless strength.

With her delicate hands supporting her head, the gray-haired girl gazed at Hua Yi, feeling only joy and excitement.

Does this count as a date?

Even though they haven't progressed to the feeding each other stage that appears in the fan-made novels, this feeling already feels like a date.

Since I took the initiative to treat everyone to dinner and introduce the space station version of Caleb, it was naturally my doing that created the camaraderie, making me the one in charge of the date.

Hehe, he must be smitten with me.

Although it turned out that he didn't get any attention from the erudite sage when he cornered Hua Yi against the wall, the star god would probably be amazed if he knew that he was displaying extraordinary wisdom at this moment, using Calabre as a topic to talk about the characteristics of this soft drink, sharing little-known facts with Hua Yi, and creating such a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere in a series of interconnected steps.

I'm so awesome!

By the way, this time spent together can also be written into a novel to prove her wisdom and romantic skills, captivating the great hero and serving as another kind of commemoration.

Staring intently at Xing, Hua Yi could easily conclude from the unfocused pupils that she was lost in thought, her mind probably already wandering far away.

It occasionally lets out a silly "guhehe" laugh, grinning from ear to ear, looking both adorable and endearing. I really should take out my device and capture this image of Galaxy Baseball Man to preserve it forever.
