Honkai Impact: Star Railway: I'm really not a Star God!

"Well done, Seele. We were attacked from both sides by a bunch of wanderers who came out of nowhere. We thought we were going to have to fight a long battle. Hahaha, luckily a big guy came to help us."

"Buzzing—"

The sound of steam rising came, and a round, chubby automaton came running down with mechanical legs disproportionate to its body. Clara shouted excitedly upon seeing the automaton.

"Mills! You're back!"

"Buzz—Clara, I'm back from my mission."

"Great! Mills is amazing!"

ヾ(^Д^*)/

The group of people who saw the robot were also secretly surprised.

The dents in its armor from the bullets haven't healed yet.

"Chief! Is everyone alright? Has anyone been injured?"

"I ask with concern," Seele asked.

Oleg scratched his head. Although his hair had turned white, he still insisted on standing on the front line of the fire. The shocking scar on his left eye was left to protect someone.

"It's alright, I'm used to it. Those wanderers were all driven back with the help of this... robot named Mills. The mining area should be able to calm down for a while."

After comforting Seele, Oleg looked at the group of people around him and laughed heartily.

"I didn't expect it to be so lively here. I hope I'm not too late."

Oleg looked at the most conspicuous Schwarz, gave a slight bow, and expressed his gratitude.

"Mr. Schwarz, thank you for your help. If possible, we can take back the mine. We are willing to pay a price because the mine is really important to us. We hope you can understand."

"Actually... Mr. Schwarzlo had no ill intentions... he just didn't want to see you have a conflict... causing unnecessary casualties."

Clara said weakly.

How come there are so many people all of a sudden...?

There are so many people... ten people... and two robots.

“Oleg, you don’t need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, it’s because he got the opportunity for your Earth Fire.”

After saying that, Schwarz looked up into the air.

Seeing that it was finally his turn, Ling Kong took a deep breath and looked radiant.

"Hello, Mr. Oleg, Miss Seele, Miss Bronya, my name is Ling Kong, or you can call me Belloberg's Savior."

March 7th nudged the star beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Did people ever act like this in mid-air before?"

"I...didn't notice before..."

"I think... he might have done something quite significant behind our backs."

Dan Heng said with certainty.

Chapter 59 Child, Original Sin Welcomes You

"Belloberg's savior!?"

Both of their haughty voices cracked at the same time, and Bronya and Seele stared in disbelief at Ling Kong.

This person...

Who!

They've started talking nonsense.

Look at the air in this lower level; it's making the children hallucinate from lack of oxygen.

"What? You still don't believe me? I'll allow you to keep your opinions to yourself. Before that, guess one thing: how long will the currently exploitable mineral deposits in the lower zone last for Beloborg?"

Ling Kong's indifferent expression left Bronya unsure, and besides, she didn't care about the Earth Marrow matter; her mother hadn't asked her to handle the issues of the lower districts.

Seele knew that the lower zone was in dire need of earth marrow, but she didn't know how much the upper zone had in its appetite.

"See? You don't even know this."

He held up two fingers and shook his head in mid-air.

Humanity is facing a life-or-death crisis, yet it still wants to start internal strife.

"The amount of earth marrow that can be mined now is only enough to keep Beloberg alive for a little over two hundred days. In less than a year, Beloberg will be swallowed up by a cold wave due to the lack of heat from the earth marrow."

"According to calculations, based on average mining efficiency, this vein can sustain Belloberg for 231 days. My task is to protect the lower zone. Trusting a few samples is superfluous in the calculations. To preserve the fire for the longest possible time, the connection between the upper and lower zones must be severed."

Upon hearing this, Oleg, with his tough-guy image, stared intently at Ling Kong and Schwarz.

If this is true, then the situation is indeed quite serious.

"Swarovski, are you sure there won't be any problems with your calculations?"

"Calculations based on a large number of samples will not be wrong."

He believed Schwarzlo's words to a great extent. As the leader of the Earth Fire surface, he naturally had a deep understanding of the lower regions.

Since the rift phenomenon spread to the lower areas, they have had to give up one earth marrow vein after another. In the past, they would never have fought with the wanderers over an earth marrow vein.

Because it's obvious to anyone with eyes that the mineral deposits in the lower layers are almost depleted.

"Ling Kong, since your friend came with Xi'er, can I trust you?"

“You can completely trust me, as long as you believe me.”

With a slight smile, the three-person train crew stood on the side suspended in mid-air without hesitation.

Although I don't know what Ling Kong is planning to do, teammates... well, that means unconditional trust.

Oleg gazed deeply into the air, knowing he had no choice.

"Alright, Mr. Lingkong, the savior of Belloberg, what is your rescue plan—"

......

Belleburg was unusually quiet at night.

The increasingly strict curfew was subtly felt by the people in the upper districts.

A storm is coming.

"Master! Master! We've had a good start today!"

Ralph felt a little uneasy as he pushed aside the gates of the Lemstein family compound.

Since the old master died, these servants and guards have been running away faster than ever.

If they hadn't packed so much stuff and been running so slowly, they would have run after them too.

However... Ralf glanced at his underlings behind him.

Thankfully, he didn't run away; Ralph was about to seize control of his destiny.

"So careless and sloppy, what kind of behavior is this?!"

Wallace's voice came from the courtyard as he closed a copy of "How the Steel Was Tempered" with one hand.

This was given to him by Mr. Ling, and all he, Wallace, could say was that.

Amazing.

The words in this book seem to be coated with a sacred layer. Although he couldn't understand the words, a powerful will was constantly tempering his spirit.

Watching the two people go out and the two people come back, Wallace spoke slowly.

"How was today's outing? Was it done under duress? Was it done voluntarily?"

"Cough cough cough... Patriarch, we have had a good haul."

Scratching his head, Ralf stepped aside, revealing the little girl behind him.

"This is...?"

Unexpectedly, Wallace looked at the little girl with a puzzled expression.

No, I told you to go out and find new people, but you ended up bringing back a child?

Where did you learn that?

Seeing that Wallace's expression was off, Ralph immediately spoke up.

"Master! Master! Calm down!"

The blue-haired girl who had been hiding behind Ralf jumped out. From the girl's slightly trembling body, Wallace could tell that she was still a little scared.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ralph burst into tears.

Today, in order to bring the girl back to report, they listened to Wallace and did not force her.

But this girl—!

They've emptied both of their wallets; they absolutely have to go eat something...

Fried rock crab!

Good heavens...where is he supposed to get this stuff from her...?

Finally, he used some connections to get his hands on this almost extinct delicacy from a friend.

If this thing were any rarer, it wouldn't be a matter of money anymore; luckily, his friend happened to catch one.

After she had eaten her fill, she wanted them to accompany her for a walk around the square, where she acted as a bully and beat up a few children.

He was being chased by a group of family guards.

We finally brought this little devil back, and he's actually treating them like his underlings?!

"Hmph! What are you afraid of! I'm not afraid of you! This is someone Elise protects!"

With her arms outstretched, Iris stood protectively in front of Ralph and his henchmen, her eyes filled with her stubbornness and pride.

Amused, Wallace stared at the blue-haired little girl with interest, but he did not underestimate her; instead, he squatted down.

Mr. Ling once said that respect and equality are very important.
