I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

He has a friendly and easy-going personality, and holds a relatively high position.

Upon hearing the request from the female owner of the bookstore she frequented, Pera glanced at Hua Yi from afar. Having just finished explaining the knowledge she had planned to impart to the children, she immediately headed towards Cripperburg.

March 7th had been listening intently, gathering a lot of information through conversations with others, and now she decided to unleash her incredibly powerful wisdom.

"The official currency circulating here is called the Winter City Shield. You can also exchange it with credits. Fifty credits can be exchanged for one Winter City Shield."

"It must have been during the time when this planet was still in contact with the universe that it joined the Pan-Galactic Trade System, and the credit points were left over from that time."

"If I can exchange credits for the Winter City Shield, wouldn't I be invincible?"

Xing immediately perked up and started counting on her fingers to do multiplication and division.

"Converting my savings into Winter City Shields, I'd be a millionaire. My purchasing power would be around 607, which is pretty outrageous. Could I buy Cripple Castle? If I can't, Hua Yi certainly can. Let's become the owners of Cripple Castle and see how that wicked woman Cocolia reacts."

"Fort Cripper is clearly not for sale."

Hua Yi shook his head, rejecting Xing's idea, and then continued to speak in a doting tone, following her lead.

“I can indeed launch an economic war against Belloberg using credits. This place has been isolated from the universe for seven hundred years, and the total amount of credits in circulation is fixed. If a large amount of funds suddenly appears from outside, in exchange for strategic materials such as food and earth marrow, and control the market and products, then we can seize control of Belloberg’s economic lifeline.”

Money is a general equivalent; it is a unit that marks value, but it does not generate value itself.

If Berloberg's GDP remains unchanged, but the monetary sphere undergoes dramatic changes and becomes manipulated, the consequences are predictable.

It's really too small.

"I was just mentioning it casually, but it's best not to exchange large sums of credits for Winter City Shields in Belloborg. That's tantamount to bullying people. Just put it on Cocolia's tab."

Hoshi and March 7th seemed to understand but not quite, while Himeko's eyes darted around, her heart filled with amazement.

With his involvement, the pioneering journey indeed became different.

I feel very at ease.

Chapter 152 Perpetual Motion Machine House

A mechanic happened to be passing by, and relying on her five senses as a Destiny Walker, Hilva vaguely heard the conversation, "Please give the bill to the Great Guardian Cocolia."

In the entire city of Belloberg, who would dare to let Cocolia pay the bill while shopping?

Only Bronya has the qualifications, but that resolute and serious girl would definitely not do such a thing.

When she became curious and followed the sound, Hua Yi and his group started chatting as they walked, but much of their conversation was unclear.

But one thing is certain: what seemed like a terrifying topic ended up with the Great Guardian paying the price, which is already a very good ending.

Otherwise, the entire Belleburg will be plunged into crisis.

If Cocolia knew the truth, she would have to thank them.

"Hello."

Hua Yi greeted the person who had been following him for half a day.

The ends of her long golden hair were streaked with blue, representing the subtle fluctuations of fate that are difficult to discern in daily life, but Hua Yi, with her unique talent, could clearly sense them.

How many Fate Walkers have we encountered since arriving in Belloborg? Far more than at the Black Tower Space Station.

Even though the space station primarily selects scientific research personnel rather than warriors who wield the power of destiny, the fact that so many people have embarked on this destiny in the isolated city of Belloborg is enough to shock countless planetary civilizations.

Wow, what a cool older sister!

I don't know if she's been influenced by Xing, but first she called Pella "sister", and now March 7th is doing the same thing.

Compared to the petite Pera, the woman in front of her definitely has more of an older sister vibe.

"Hello, I am the owner of that [perpetual motion] mechanical shop over there."

Was discovered.

Hiluva felt a little embarrassed, her gaze darting around.

"I was walking towards the machine shop and just happened to pass by."

"We were just planning to visit the shops around the plaza. Is the Mechanical Shop still open?"

"of course."

Others may not have realized they were eavesdropping, but Hua Yi definitely did.

No questions were asked...

After thinking it over, Hiluva decided to be honest.

“I heard that there are a few newcomers in Belloberg, and they even met with the High Guardian. You all just bought all the books and materials in the bookstore in one go, and you were acting like children in this central square that all the citizens are familiar with. You must be the ones, right?”

Without a doubt, it is Xing and March 7th who are like curious children.

Even though he knew the identity of the person in front of him, Hua Yi did not intend to reveal too much of his prophetic abilities that might confuse others.

"The news spread so fast? If that's the case, we should start worrying about whether we'll be treated like rare creatures."

"I don't consider this a leak. I have my own information channels, so you can ask me anything you don't understand, so as not to arouse suspicion in others."

Hiluva opened the door to the mechanical house, and the group followed her into the warmer interior.

"For example, this red heating device, the geothermal heater, is everywhere in the administrative area. Don't be fooled by its inconspicuous appearance; it is a lifeline for people."

"One can imagine the investment required to promote such facilities. The builders of the city have put in a lot of effort to ensure people's livelihood. Belleburg is an epic city."

"Then I, as a mechanic who frequently repairs various devices, can be considered to have made an outstanding contribution."

However, there is no longer a place for me among the city builders.

The so-called guaranteed livelihood is only limited to the upper class.

Although it is unknown what kind of negotiations these extraterrestrials had with the High Guardian when they were in Crepper Castle, judging from Hua Yi's words and actions, it is clear that he would not allow Cocolia to adopt a condescending attitude.

Unfortunately, I couldn't join in the fun.

Hiluva pointed to the shelves in the machine room.

"Is there anything you like? Anyway, that big shot in Cripperburg is paying for it, so please don't hesitate to buy anything you like."

"I want a geomancy heater and a portion of geomancy ore."

"Row."

"Miss Silva, would you like to add two or three zeros to the bill? I can pretend I didn't see it."

"Two or three zeros... that's a hundredfold or a thousandfold increase? Forget it, a nobody like me can't afford to offend the Great Guardian. With a single order, he can strip me of everything."

After briefly examining the brand-new geomancy heater and geomancy ore that Shiluwa had taken out, Hua Yi planned to scan and analyze them using his smart terminal after returning to the hotel.

This includes the classic books and materials that we previously ordered from the bookstore.

"Hoshi, March 7, Himeko, you don't need to be so polite. The Great Guardian is hospitable, friendly and generous. Please don't let him down."

"Mmm, I've already started shopping."

"Do you sell any special powered machines? Something that can be attached to a baseball bat and smash mountains and rivers with a single blow... No, the best kind would be one that can use stars as baseballs to play around with."

"...This kind of demand is a bit difficult for people."

Do you have a coffee machine here? I'd like to buy one for my collection.

"Yes, we do. If you bring your own coffee beans, you can brew a cup and try it."

Hua Yi's description of Cocolia made Hilva's expression strange, and she almost couldn't control her facial expression.

What she failed to notice was that when Himeko mentioned coffee and she replied that she could try it on the spot, both Hoshino and March Seven's expressions changed.

"Can I only make one cup?"

Himeko noticed and, feigning regret, teased her companion.

"I'd like to try out more of Belloberg's coffee machines to see if there's any difference."

"No problem, you are a big client, you should be treated well."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hiluva finally noticed that Star and March 7 were desperately trying to wink at her.

Unfortunately, she didn't know how deep and dark the coffee Ji Zi brewed was, and she didn't understand what the two meant at all. Seeing that they didn't explain for a long time, she looked at Hua Yi for confirmation.

"What are these two thinking...?"

"I can't wait to have coffee."

"It tastes so good!"

"Would you like a drink? Two or three are fine too. The more you drink, the more respect and admiration you'll receive from them."

Something is wrong, nine out of ten times something is wrong.

Even though Hua Yi's expression and tone were not flawless, Xiluwa still felt that the other party was setting a trap.

She decided to proceed with caution.

"One cup, just one cup is enough."

"Medium, large, or extra-large?"

"Oh? You don't have small cups? -- Then I'll have a medium cup."

"Himeko, please."

So, the navigator started operating the coffee machine.

I'll make three cups of coffee: one for myself, one for Shiluwa, and the third for Huayi.

Chapter 153 Black Mud Coffee

The aroma of coffee permeated the entire machine room, forcefully banishing the smells of metal and machine oil.

Concentrate, and concentrate again.

Like the aggregation of the darkest things in the world, the liquid almost solidified into a block, and no matter how the cup was turned, the unspeakable things inside could only slowly wriggle.

Sluggish, slow.

This isn't coffee; "black mud" would be a more fitting name.

Himeko barely filtered the coffee grounds, and the residue after extraction became the lightest part of the cup of coffee, with a far less impactful taste than the black mud itself, which contained the essence of the coffee.

"...Your definition of coffee may be different from mine."

Upon seeing the cup full of black substance in Himeko's hand, Hilva's understanding was greatly shocked.

Even though she loves rock music, is unconventional and loves freedom, and has an exceptional ability to accept new things, she is gradually becoming uneasy.

"Is this... this the serving size for a medium cup?"

"Don't worry, I'll enjoy this myself."

Taking a sip of the coffee she had made herself, Himeko's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.

"If you really don't want to drink it, that's fine, I understand. Don't take Hua Yi's mention of medium and large cups seriously, coffee cups are all the same size."

Hiluva's rock spirit wouldn't allow her to back down!

"I'll still have half a glass of 810, just a small half glass."

"no problem."

After receiving the small half-cup of coffee from Himeko, the mechanic tried to shake the cup and found that the black substance was reluctantly entangled on the cup wall, without any of the fluidity of liquid. The mechanic stuck out her tongue and carefully licked it.

The bitterness, the extreme bitterness, shot straight to the top of my head, instantly energizing my sleep-deprived brain, making me as clear-headed as could be.

Suddenly enlightened, Hiluva understood the meaning behind March 7th and Star's constant winks, and the sinister intentions hidden in Hua Yi's seemingly serious words.

Her eyes twitched slightly, and she made up her mind not to let the malicious guy get away with it.

"Since Miss Himeko's companion likes coffee, we can't forget his share."

"Well..."

Himeko also knew that her coffee did not suit the general public's taste.

Between playing along with Hiluva's pranks and considering her companion's taste experience, Miss Navigator preferred to choose the latter.
