I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

He continued browsing the webpage, his eyes scanning over various product images and descriptions, but his thoughts drifted away, recalling conversations between Hua Yi and Wen Shiling from several systems ago.

"That kid—wouldn't it be better to recruit him from the Department of Universal Applied Physics?"

He muttered something unconsciously, and when Wen Huairen came to his senses, he slapped his thigh and made up his mind.

“Yes, Hua Yi should come to the Department of Applied Physics. His talent and character are most suitable for the Department of Applied Physics.”

Time passed slowly, six system periods elapsed, and the tranquil Black Tower space station was about to become busy again.

A new day begins, and a new batch of tourists will come to visit. The staff members must also prepare to get back to work.

Senior scholars from various research departments were mentally prepared, brushing their teeth while checking the latest experimental reports submitted by their colleagues on their personal terminals.

The research of most junior staff members is so basic that it is almost non-existent in the eyes of senior scholars. Yet, they need to spend a lot of time and considerable research funding, dragging it out until the last minute, and even repeatedly applying for extensions before they can submit their reports. And then they still cannot guarantee the rigor and accuracy of the content, often making basic mistakes, which makes the scholars feel a surge of anger.

For example, after a series of complex reasoning and calculations, they concluded that there was a semi-strange object in a certain spaceship, and the key staff members actually dared to submit such a report!

What's with the half of the artifact? Did someone dismantle it? Even if it was dismantled, the formulas for a complete artifact and a broken artifact are different. Can you really calculate it like that?

Even so, the scholars could only suppress their anger and warn themselves not to get angry, as anger would harm their health. If they fell ill, a pile of documents would pile up, and they would only fall into a vicious cycle after recovering from a serious illness.

They could only coldly send the report back, asking the clerk to redo it. Those with better tempers could patiently point out the basic errors, while those with worse tempers had to always carry nitroglycerin pills and regularly go to the medical department for psychological counseling, so as not to agonize over whether it was worth spending so much time on that group of idiots, or even to doubt life and ponder the meaning of living.

The scholar of the Guangyuan Secret Scroll had already prepared himself mentally, repeatedly telling himself that he must remain calm, wash up and eat breakfast normally, and absolutely not let anger make him lose his appetite, even if he had to force himself to eat something.

Let me see what "surprise" those clerks have brought this time. Is it a record of a star god riding a piggy bank and wearing a trash can lid on his head, traveling around the world? Or is it a paper filled with a lot of meaningless modifiers, verifying whose beard is effective for the occult in the space station?

"About the experimental record of [Simulated Calyx - Bud of Wisdom]? Could it be that you just randomly picked a plant from the Species family and then haphazardly poured some chemical agents into it to conduct the experiment?"

The scholar was brushing his teeth and mumbling incoherently, but when he discovered that the document was submitted by Hua Yi, that already quite famous super rookie, his gaze immediately became serious.

As the scholar watched the experimental records more closely, he unconsciously stopped brushing his teeth, stood there with his mouth wide open for a long time, and then suddenly jolted awake. He hastily wiped the foam from his mouth with his sleeve, forced down the toothpaste that was still in his mouth, ignored the breakfast on the table, and rushed out.

Last night, a brand-new, high-level esoteric ritual concerning the destiny of knowledge succeeded?!

Chapter 14 He's Different From Others

The Space Station's Starfield Species Department and the Universe Geoscience Department, one exploring extraordinary life forms and the other dealing with rocks and mud all day, both require staff to conduct extensive experiments and investigations, and are not jobs that can produce academic results quickly in a short period of time.

However, through Huayi's database optimization methods, both departments determined that he possessed clear thinking, meticulous logic, and the ability to sift through complex information to identify commonalities and differences.

They should dig it up.

How many secret rituals are there in the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department?

It barely exceeds one hundred, and its content volume is far less than that of other departments.

As for those mysterious tales about stars, what a joke! How many of the beings in the cosmos have actually seen the star gods? Apart from the well-known legends, much of the information in the secret archives is just fragmented information gathered from hearsay, which is difficult to integrate and summarize, and is a complete waste of people's talents.

But our Department of Species/Geography is different. Our department has a vast amount of data, and we can guarantee that most of it is true and reliable. Hua Yi can become a Level III staff member as soon as he comes here. As long as he continues to contribute his wisdom and improve the overall operational efficiency of the department, he can become a Level IV staff member in no time. This is far superior to studying those high-level secret instruments that no one has been able to reproduce for a long time in the Department of Secret Scrolls of Guangyuan.

As for the low-level secret rituals, well, it's not that we have any problem with the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department, but it's a complete waste to let a talent like Hua Yi devote his energy to those inexplicable low-level secret rituals.

The higher-ups in the Department of Geography and the Department of Geography are preparing to give the newcomer a face-to-face talk, advising him to abandon his evil ways and turn to the light, and not to waste his time in the Department of Secret Documents. They argue that his status as a Level II staff member is not worthy of his talent, and that if he comes to their department, he will be a Level III staff member directly.

The two were heading towards the same destination from different directions, but they encountered a large number of fully armed defense officers on the way, which made them frown.

"what happened?"

In addition to the five major research departments, the space station also has four support departments. The defense department, as its name suggests, is responsible for the security and defense of the station. The fact that it is mobilizing a large number of personnel at this moment is truly eye-catching.

"The laboratory ahead is a key protected area. Unauthorized personnel are requested to detour."

"Do you think I'm just a busybody?"

"I'm sorry, the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department has used its authority to set the relevant laboratory to the highest level of security. Apart from Station Master Estella and Ms. Black Tower, no one else has the right to inquire. If you would like to know more details, please consult with the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department or apply for permission from the Station Master."

"Did those guys in the secret document department get into trouble?"

The senior officers of the Global Geographical Survey Department were filled with doubt and became serious. They stopped making things difficult for the ordinary staff members and simply observed the heavily protected area from a distance. After confirming that the area was relatively safe, they carefully examined the expressions of the defense staff. Only after finding that they did not show any signs of panic or anxiety did they feel slightly relieved and begin to gloat.

Back in the day, there was a legendary figure in the Department of Geography who blew a huge hole in the Black Tower Space Station, making the entire department unable to hold its head up in front of the Department of Applied Physics, who was in charge of finances, for fear that the latter would demand exorbitant repair fees. If a similar guy were to appear in the Department of Secret Papers now, the Department of Geography could at least enjoy the show.

No, now is not the time to watch the show. Let's poach Hua Yi first; that's the important thing.

"My fellow colleagues, who are always focused on the gains and losses of humanity, please stop your hurried pace for the rights of non-human beings and listen to me. The machines and gadgets on the space station should also be defined as life, and their rights should be protected. Join the Mimicry Protection Association I have created now and support me in drafting a bill to abolish machine enslavement!"

A staff member wearing a legal and political science badge was shouting propaganda in a corner of the space station, becoming a significant source of noise.

The passing clerk seemed not to hear him, completely ignoring him and walking away at a faster pace than usual.

This included Gunn, the founder of the Law and Politics Department.

In this world, human rights cannot be effectively guaranteed, and the Department of Law and Politics has failed to uphold even basic justice, yet some people have already begun to advocate respecting the life rights of strange and unusual creatures.

Didn't see it.

Previously, Gunn was disheartened and stopped discussing justice. He also let the development of the Department of Law and Politics go unchecked, allowing it to grow wildly. He could still remain calm when he heard the staff members spreading all sorts of nonsense.

But after discovering the future hope of the Department of Law and Politics yesterday, Gu En now only feels that the noise around him is very noisy. What a bunch of ugly and deformed people. Wouldn't it be a waste for Hua Yi to be in the same department as such people in the future?

After finishing today's most important task, it's time to thoroughly review the department's personnel files, identify those who have not only failed to produce any decent results but have also disrupted the department's atmosphere, and report them to Station Chief Estáe for dismissal.

As Gu En arrived outside Hua Yi's dormitory, he was about to compose his expression and display a kind and friendly smile when he suddenly stopped and saw a large group of people gathered in the corridor.

"When he transfers to my Department of Applied Physics, his treatment will definitely be better than that of a Level II staff member in the Department of Secret Papers. He will have access to abundant resources, his work will be in line with his career development needs, he will receive overtime pay, and his bonuses will be exceptionally generous."

Former head of the Department of Universal Physics, Wen Huai-ren, along with current head Wen Ming-de, took advantage of the free time before Hua Yi left the house to educate their son.

"Father, have you finally agreed to officially implement overtime pay and performance bonuses in the department?"

"What are you talking about? Overtime pay and bonuses are for Hua Yi! Can the others even be considered to be working overtime? They didn't finish their assigned tasks, dragging them out until the end of the workday, or even several days later, and the department has already been extremely lenient by not deducting their pay. And they still want overtime pay? If you can't establish a comprehensive work incentive mechanism and only know how to arbitrarily distribute money, then don't even think about these trivial matters."

"……All right."

“Hua Yi is different. He’s not the type to take shortcuts for a little Black Tower Coins or Credits. Well, once he’s familiar with the operating model of Applied Physics, you can have more exchanges.”

"Wen Huairen! What do you mean by Hua Yi transferring to the Department of Applied Physics?"

Last night, Guen was unusually amiable when talking to young people about the starry sky. But when he heard the old guy from the Department of Applied Physics spouting nonsense, he was immediately enraged and became aggressive.

“He is the hope of the Legal Affairs Department, and I will not allow you to talk nonsense here.”

"Guen? What are you doing here?"

"Let those who are destined to lead the Department of Law and Political Science into a brand new future be transferred to the department that best suits them."

Chapter 15 Robbery Battle

"Good grief, are you here to steal my person?!"

Wen Huairen was on high alert and immediately began to reorganize his thoughts. When Hua Yi came out, he would have to explain in detail the advantages of Applied Physics over Law and Politics.

Wen Huai-ren and Gu En were not the only ones brainstorming; the senior executives of the Department of Geography and the Department of Geography, who were observing from afar, were also thinking rapidly.

Hua Yi was so sought after that even senior staff from the other two departments were mobilized.

It seems we need to reconsider our plan. We need to change the rhetoric we used to recruit Hua Yi and promise him a Level III clerk position.

He's been reassigned to Level IV staff member!

Just kidding. As one of the five major departments, why should the Department of Applied Physics and the Department of Law and Politics compete for the people in the Department of Secret Papers, while the Department of Geography and the Department of Geography have to back down?

Back then, even in its most difficult times, the Department of Geography never bowed to the Department of Applied Physics, and it certainly won't back down now. Since Hua Yi's talent is enough to alarm Wen Huairen, who is known for his sharp eye, even Gu En, who had already stopped caring much about the department's development and was preparing to spend the rest of his life quietly on the space station, is now arguing for him with great enthusiasm.

The World Species and Earth Species naturally had to join the battle and do everything in their power to win.

Call someone!

The senior management of the two departments immediately called their colleagues to have the other party come as quickly as possible.

When the senior members and scholars of the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department arrived at their newcomer's dormitory in the laboratory where Hua Yi had completed the secret ritual the day before, after meticulous arrangements, thorough protection, and extremely careful observation to confirm the authenticity of the [Key of Inspiration], they were overjoyed to find a huge crowd gathered there.

Why did all these guys from the Department of Applied Physics, Department of Law and Politics, Department of Geography and Species, and Department of Geography all come here?

"Why is it so chaotic? Everyone, be quiet and don't disturb the rest of our top staff member from the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department. He worked very late yesterday and achieved results that are worthy of being recorded in the academic world. What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket here!"

The senior members of the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department spoke as they squeezed into the crowd.

"Also, I don't care what you're here for. Whether you want Hua Yi to continue improving the database he's already optimized once, or if you want to bother him with other trivial matters, just disperse! Don't contact him again. It's easy for people to misunderstand. Members of the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department shouldn't be bothered by other departments' affairs."

"Who are you ordering around? Huh? We're at the same rank, are you trying to cross departmental boundaries?"

"Yes. Also, please be careful with your wording, Mr./Ms. Hua Yi will soon be joining our Legal and Political Affairs Department."

"He should join the Species Family!"

"Geography Introduction Department! Geography Introduction Department!"

At this point, the young man's voice was louder and more imposing, but rather than asking his son to shout out Hua Yi's ownership, Wen Huai Ren placed a more significant bet.

"Let me make this clear: Hua Yi will be a Level IV staff member as soon as he joins the Applied Physics Department, and no matter what salary you offer, our Applied Physics Department will offer double it! Does any department think its financial resources can compete with Universal Applied Physics?"

"The position of head of the Galaxy Law and Politics Department will eventually belong to Hua Yi. Wen Huairen, can you offer double the amount? Don't forget who the current head of the Applied Physics Department is."

Gu En's questioning froze Wen Huairen's expression. He remained silent for a long time before suddenly bursting into a hearty laugh.

“You all think I’m stingy and miserly, but that’s only for mediocre people—Hua Yi is a rare commodity. If he can really lead the Department of Applied Physics to a brighter future, what’s wrong with having Mingde assist him!”

Are Applied Physics and Law/Political Science really that good?!

Seeing Wen Huairen and Gu En locked in a fierce confrontation, the senior executives of the Department of Geography and the Department of Geography present were startled and stunned by his bold words.

A group of people were furious.

"Nonsense! Hua Yi belongs to the Secret Documents Department. Now that things have come to this, I will tell you the truth: yesterday he created a brand-new high-level secret ritual, condensing an entity containing the power of [wisdom] destiny. He is already a key protected talent of the Secret Documents Department. At such a young age, he is already capable of becoming an academic giant. This is not something you can compete for!"

"what?"

"High-level secret rituals..."

"To be able to create high-level esoteric rituals at such a young age, doesn't that mean he still has enough time to grow and even further improve rituals related to the destiny of knowledge?"

Even those who weren't members of the Guangyuan Secret Scrolls Department understood what high-level secret rituals involving destiny meant.

Is it a path to heaven that allows ordinary people to glimpse a corner of their destiny, or a path of intellectual destiny?

Even if the probability of others replicating the high-level secret rituals is pitifully low, Hua Yi has already created an intellectual product! That is enough to drive countless scholars crazy. The explosive nature of the information revealed by the Secret Scrolls Department is even more exaggerated than saying that Hua Yi is actually a Destiny Walker.

This makes it even more important to recruit them; we absolutely must!

The path of knowledge is clear: those present are all from research departments, and should open their arms to embrace Hua Yi, who has already grasped the key to truth.

A brief silence fell over the area, then the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. The higher-ups from the Department of Geology and the Department of Geography narrowed their eyes, making a decision.

pat.

The dormitory door opened with a soft click, and Hua Yi, looking radiant, walked out. Feeling the intense gazes directed at him, he tentatively offered a greeting.

Good morning, everyone.

"Good morning, good morning. Would you like to have breakfast at the Applied Physics Department, young man?"

"I'll order the most delicious set meal right now and have it delivered to your office. Oh, by the way, does Clerk Hua Yi not have a separate office yet? The Secret Documents Department will arrange it right away, immediately!"

"On this bright and sunny morning... no, on this morning when the stars are still shining, please allow me to pay you my sincerest respects and invite you to visit the Kingdom of Species."

"The Department of Geography has discovered several life-bearing planets that have not yet given rise to civilization. Young friend Hua Yi, would you be interested in giving them names? Come, come with me to the office. I'll show you the star map. If you get tired of looking at it, don't worry, you can just take a nap in the Department of Geography. It's no problem."

The previously tense atmosphere suddenly changed, and everyone's face was full of friendly smiles. They greeted Hua Yi warmly and extended their arms as if to shake hands.

However, as the person who reached out his arm discovered that there were quite a few others who shared the same idea, the handshake gesture suddenly turned into pulling Hua Yi toward their respective departments.

The real battle for talent is about to erupt.

"Please return to your respective posts. I am already aware of Hua Yi's contributions to the various departments of the space station, and appropriate arrangements will be made later."

A soft and pleasant young girl's voice rang out, immediately causing the experts and scholars from the five departments to stop what they were doing.

Chapter 16 Estella

If we were to name the most prestigious person on the space station, the one most respected by scholars and staff, it would undoubtedly be Ms. Black Tower.

However, the genius rarely showed up; Estádio, who served as the stationmaster, was the actual manager of this museum-like starship.

Her pink, shoulder-length short hair was adorned with a hair clip, and a strand of hair was braided and hung down, making her look delicate and beautiful. Her blue crystal-like eyes were bright and captivating, and even wearing a space station uniform could not hide the youthful vitality that belonged to a young girl.

Not to mention compared to the senior staff members of various departments, even compared to ordinary staff members, Aistar is very young.

Despite her young age, she possesses remarkable abilities and works with utmost dedication. The contributions the young stationmaster has made to maintaining the operation of the space station, and the effort she has devoted to handling matters large and small, could not be ignored by the experienced and seasoned Wen Huai-ren and Gu En.

The old man saw it all and knew that Estella was a good child.
