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

Pam: Pam... Pam feels like there's someone else in the carriage...

Pam said this, attempting to move Ling Kong with her pleading eyes through the screen.

Ling Kong: Okay, okay, I'll be back after I wander around a bit more. After all, it's the train conductor's request, how could I refuse? Besides, why don't we just ask Dan Heng and Ji Zi about this?

Pam: No—! They can't know about this... Only you know!

After thinking it over, Ling Kong agreed.

After all, the process of getting on the bus by oneself is not quite right, as there is an extra step of bribery.

Who can blame them when this lop-eared rabbit is just so cute?

Even though he has traveled the world in the air and seen countless things, he still quite likes cute little things like this.

......

At the center of a galaxy, a planet forged from a special material floats freely in the sea of ​​stars, unaffected by planetary gravity.

The architecture on this planet is extremely luxurious, and countless rare materials can be found everywhere.

Just like having a peculiar hoarding habit, this planet is full of countless treasures.

Inside the tallest building, countless staff members were carrying out their tasks in a tight and orderly manner.

"The currency system in the Aita H992 star system has been unified, with the official currency to credit points exchange rate at 3.17:1..."

"The value of Qisheng Star has been successfully calculated; its value is [amount] credits..."

If viewed from above, this place looks like the stock exchange in my hometown.

But such places are subject to preservation.

Chapter 100 Interstellar Peace Corporation

The Interstellar Peace Corporation is notorious throughout the currently explored universe.

They use the guise of peace to engage in plunder.

Just like the East India Company in Ling Kong's hometown, they first used various interests to open the door to a planet, and then used their own system to enslave that planet.

If a planet chooses to submit, that's fine; although it will suffer some losses, it can still survive. But if a planet chooses to resist the Interstellar Peace Corporation's monetary system, then what awaits them will be an endless financial crisis.

What?! 50 credits for a loaf of bread?!

But such companies are among the largest forces in the known universe, veritable giants.

The Interstellar Peace Corporation not only sowed the seeds of interstellar exploration but also collaborated with the Erudite Society to develop an extremely sophisticated signal base station.

As long as you are in a signal-enabled area, your message can be transmitted to the other side of the universe in an instant.

However, the Interstellar Peace Corporation has become somewhat corrupted. It relentlessly plunders planets that are unwilling to cooperate, completely destroying their economies, and then hoarding all valuable items on the entire planet, just to offer them to the Guardian Star God, Kripper.

Under the guise of data protection, they are committing robbery. The company also has seven strategic departments and seven data protection officers.

As expected, the Star God was bound by fate, but he could completely let his subordinates do whatever they wanted.

"Minister, this is intelligence from Yalilo-VI. Please take a look."

In the enormous room, the silver-haired girl took the report handed to her by her subordinate, examined it carefully, and smiled disdainfully.

Her gaze was fixed on the virtual planet, which was a few inches larger than her chest and featured the image of Arilo-VI.

The collar of her uniform was embroidered with a diamond.

Diamond, Head of Strategic Investment Department, Interstellar Peace Corporation.

"Interesting. Do you think this planet is worth investing in?"

The diamond unfolded the information of Yalilo-VI one by one, and the originally snow-covered planet was transformed into a lush green, full of life.

This was truly a miracle. She even suspected that the Abundant Star God Pharmacist had accidentally dropped a drop of medicine there while passing by, causing the entire planet to be completely transformed.

"I believe it is worth investing in. Although the economy of Yalilo-VI has declined for hundreds of years due to the invasion of the antimatter legion and the disaster of the star core, the planet still has abundant terrestrial mineral resources. This mineral can be sold for a high price in the interstellar market. The city builders chose to help them build the city walls because they saw this."

The subordinate who was called out quickly recounted Yalilo's situation.

The City Builders and the Interstellar Peace Corporation are both forces that protect the city.

The city builders, following the example of the guardian star god Kripper, built walls everywhere, while the Interstellar Peace Corporation acted as their logistics department, constantly providing them with resources.

But the city builders really have no reason. Why would they run to any planet they see and build a city wall there?

Obviously... unlikely.

In other words, while the builders have a positive side, bringing prosperity and advanced technology to the planet, they are also merely the vanguard of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, assessing the local planet's exploitability while constructing the city walls.

Arillo was fortunate to be chosen by the city builders, bringing with it powerful technology. Meanwhile, the Interstellar Peace Corporation was also constantly mining the underground marrow beneath Arillo-VI.

This thing brought a huge economic boost to the former Yalilo-VI. Unfortunately, the antimatter legion attacked here, and then a star core happened to fall here.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Interstellar Peace Corporation retained only one person to monitor the situation of Yalilo-VI in the long term.

After all, the star core and the antimatter legion destroy the planet's civilization and then leave. Generally speaking, unless they are extremely stubborn, they will not bomb planets.

Otherwise, why would the antimatter legion's troops even need to land? Wouldn't it be more time-saving and labor-saving to just fire a planet-destroying cannon?

Once the civilizations on the planet are destroyed, they will naturally leave. At that time, the Interstellar Peace Corporation can gain even more benefits, acquiring the entire planet's mineral resources without firing a single shot.

As for the city-builders' buildings above, are they the inheritors of the city-builders' will?

The earliest builders are long gone, and Kripper doesn't even bother to glance this way... It's all about preservation... Isn't protecting one's own interests preservation?

After listening to her subordinate's report, Diamond nodded, pinched her chin, and examined the projection of Planet Arilo-VI with great interest.

“Not bad... This planet is very interesting. I happen to have nothing to do recently, so I'll take care of the negotiations on this planet. You can learn a lot from me.”

"Yes! Thank you for the promotion, Minister!"

The subordinate responded excitedly. Seeing this, Diamond thought for a moment and shrugged.

"Forget it, I'll just go by myself. I'm not used to having too many people during negotiations."

"Yes...Minister."

After rearranging the tasks, Diamond muttered to himself.

"A planet that has been glanced upon by the great Lord of Preservation... very interesting... A single glance from a Star God is an unimaginable blessing for an ordinary person, so the changes on this planet... are probably quite related to the Lord of Preservation. Perfect timing... let me reassess how much value you can provide to the company after being looked upon..."

With a slight smile, the silver-haired woman turned and walked towards the space jump device.

As for whether a person is afraid or not?

What a joke! She's one of the Seven Guardians of Preservation, Diamond, the Minister of Strategic Investment.

What's there to be afraid of when we go to this planet that has just finished dealing with the star core?

If you can't beat her, you can't run away, right?

At worst, they can simply make a phone call and summon tens of thousands of starships to the star system where Yalilo-VI is located, unleashing a barrage of fire. Even the Annihilation Lord would have to think twice before deciding whether his fleet is strong enough to defeat the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

......

Star Dome Train.

After rummaging through all the trash cans in the upper and lower sections of the Belleburg, Xing's expression shifted between satisfaction and worry.

The changes in her facial expressions were as if she had lived hundreds of lives.

Until she was thrown into the train's bathroom, and Pam's near-mad voice could be heard.

"P...P...Star passenger! What happened to you! You've made the floor all dirty after Pam mopped it!"

Pam's furious roar rang out, and Xing trembled.

Huh...

Pam is such a lovely train conductor...

No... she can be kind of cute when she's fierce.

Chapter 101 Fairy! Take this!

"Huh huh huh~"

Soaking in the bathtub, Xing hummed a song softly, the warm water gently embracing her body, slowly easing her physical fatigue.

As expected of Ling Kong, he's truly amazing.

In an instant, all of Belloberg's trash cans were gathered in one place, allowing her to meet all her friends and have a pleasant chat.

It made her almost believe that what Ling Kong said was true.

After a fragrant shower, Xing changed into her instantly clean clothes and returned to the carriage in her familiar Pioneer attire.

Seeing Xing so relaxed, Pam almost lost her temper.

"Star! If you do this again... you'll be in charge of cleaning the train!"

Even when Pam is angry, she's still adorable. Her round fists are clenched tightly, her body leans forward, and steam keeps rising from her cheeks.

"Yes, conductor."

After muttering to himself, Pam decided to quickly resolve the issues on the train first.

After some thought, I decided to recall Walter and March 7th together.

"Ahem... Passengers, please return to the train immediately. There is an important mission..."

"Oh? What important mission is it, train conductor... the one you told me about... does it still count?"

Leaning close to Pam's ear, Ling Kong raised an eyebrow and asked softly.

He clearly remembered that Pam had invited him, so why were there so many competitors now?

"Ahem... Passengers in mid-air, this matter is of utmost importance. If it's not handled properly, the train won't depart!"

Seeing Pam's evasive gaze, Ling Kong understood immediately.

Oh, I understand, we need to talk about this privately.

After a while, because the locations of the boundary anchors were all close together, March 7 and Walter quickly returned to the train.

When they returned, March 7th smelled of flowers, while Walter smelled of engine oil.
