Collapse, survive

Bronya expressed her heartfelt gratitude: "Belloberg would never betray his future. The only ones we should remember are you, his friends who have repeatedly lent a helping hand in times of crisis."

But do you know about the new friend that Fang Jie brought...?

Himeko knew, of course.

Little March already tattled on us, saying that everyone's exploration logs are shared and can be used for mutual learning.

……

……

After Fang Jie defeated the weakling Seele, he leisurely drank his milk tea without a straw and discussed the next game with the now weak and listless Seele...

"Oh no! Oh no! A fight has broken out! A fight has broken out! Quick, quick, we can't miss this!"

Like a bloodthirsty spectator, the Star Core Spirit burst in with startled cries.

"Fang Jie, teleport me quickly, let's attack! Himeko is summoning."

"Gah~?"

Sorry, he was so engrossed in women that he didn't notice what happened.

Little March bared her teeth and brandished her claws, even changing back into her 'battle suit': "It's Topa, Topa has turned on us, oh no, the upcoming negotiations are very likely to turn on us, let's go together."

To fit in, the nameless players are all very good at team battles.

Besides, it was Himeko who was calling for reinforcements.

Fang Jie didn't think much of it and said, "Let's go then."

"Hey, wait a minute, I haven't gotten on the bus yet..."

Seele, the miscellaneous fish, was filled with regret.

Fang Jie sensed the coordinates of Himeko's train ticket and teleported directly.

They surrounded the rejuvenated Bronya, and the group's reunion was quite efficient, blocking Topa, who was still sightseeing in the lower town of Belberg—you've blocked Schwarzro, and you still call that sightseeing?

"Everyone, what does this mean?"

Topa seemed unsurprised and let the ever-answering and quite witty Swaro off the hook: "Hmm? This lady next to Miss March... seems kind of familiar?"

With the left side of the Star Core Essence and the right side of March 7th, Himeko, who was holding an umbrella behind her, nodded to Topa: "Nice to meet you, Miss Topa. I am Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train."

Toppa's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Oh, I remember now, you are the famous Ms. Himeko! Several of my colleagues admire you so much that they dream of having a chat with you!"

This is the true value of the Star Train.

Even a star can have a wide following in the galaxy. The fame and remaining value of the "Nameless Guest" in the galaxy should not be underestimated, after all, he is following the famous Archivist.

The company may underestimate anyone, but no one dares to underestimate road construction.

“Miss Topa, I’m glad you’re so friendly and welcoming, but you should be well aware of the current situation, right?”

Ji Zi wouldn't be fooled by those smiles. One problem that Fang Jie didn't even realize was that when a company intervenes, there's often a 'deadline'.

If the issue remains unresolved within a certain timeframe, efforts will be intensified.

Toppa didn't take action earlier because he weighed the costs... but costs tend to increase in importance over time.

Himeko even learned from a friend that Toppa was submitting an application to his superiors.

—The application to launch a special attack on the members of the Star Train is under review!

Himeko's swift arrival in Belleburg was a testament to the value of this application.

On many planets, it is something no less significant than a 'future extinction order,' enough to determine the demise of a civilization.

And this time, the target of the special attack is even the Star Train...

How could Himeko not arrive at Belleburg?

She's not the type to watch her children fight alone. It's not a question of whether they can win or not; it's about attitude.

Fang Jie, who is obsessed with beauty, knows nothing!

Topa stared at Himeko, whose arms were crossed with obvious hostility. The oppressive feeling was no less than that of Emerald in front of her, giving Topa a headache: "Of course I am fully aware of the current situation. I didn't expect Miss Himeko to be so clear about it as well. The people on the Starry Sky Train are indeed very capable."

Bronya, increasingly aware of the danger thanks to Himeko's reminder, asked on behalf of Bellberg: "Miss Topa, I don't understand. If it's about debt, and Bellberg has the ability to repay it, what exactly are you plotting?"

“That’s not enough, Miss Bronya. It’s not just a matter of debt.”

Toppa shook his head, sighing at this intelligent but still somewhat ignorant Great Guardian of the galaxy:

"It wasn't just a debt issue from the beginning."

Otherwise, why would she use a whole bunch of dazzling conditions to delay until the 'deadline'? In a sense, if Bronya had signed the contract immediately, she would have been in a bit of a predicament.

Perhaps she thought the condition was harsh, but that was because she didn't know the company well enough.

Many times, Toppa also has to admit that necessary sacrifices are necessary on the path to making the world a better place.

"The target is us."

Himeko understood perfectly. Looking at Toppa's slightly troubled round face, she maintained the tact of an adult: "Weighing, testing, suppressing, annexing, or being sent back by business wars... This is how the company always treats its allies."

"That's right, Ms. Himeko. This is the company's sincerity. Everyone on the Starry Sky Train will understand, and at least Ms. Himeko will understand."

Topa also frankly admitted it.

When the nameless man saved the city builder Belloberg, it was destined that the two would come into contact.

Especially since a major event has just occurred on the Immortal Ship, which may be the fuse for the God War.

The company needs to determine the attitude and stance of Star Train. These people are too capable of causing trouble; they are all talented. If we could... recruit one or two of them like the Market Development Department, wouldn't that be more profitable than working at Belleberg?

Talent is the most important thing!

"How despicable."

Little March couldn't stand it: "They actually used Belloberg to blackmail us."

Xing couldn't help but repeat, "Despicable."

Topa neither confirmed nor denied this, and she still looked at Himeko: "So what is your attitude, Miss Himeko?"

Whether it's Star Core Essence or March 7th, it's all still just a matter of future prospects.

But Himeko...

She's really amazing to be able to repair the Star Train.

"Please don't misunderstand, we have no intention of going against the company and the board of directors. It just so happens that we have friends we cherish, as well as friends of friends, on this planet, Arillow-VI."

Himeko remained tactful, but had no intention of backing down.

“Doing nothing, saying nothing, and just watching them sign unequal contracts from the company—that’s not the style of ‘Anonymous’.”

Don't say you're not going to sign this seemingly sincere contract; you are!

I, Wumingke, am not without my faults. There is no future that can be decided by a single word. Even a prison planet has the potential to become a prosperous place. So-called pioneering always brings about change.

Fang Jie remained silent throughout.

After all, this matter...

He won't embarrass himself; he's very sincere towards Topa, but it's normal that he can't control Topa's greater loyalty to the company.

Fang Jie was waiting for her to turn on him so he could beat her to her knees, and then... the female executive suffered a terrible fate.

The very healthy kind.

Himeko arrived in a flurry—Topa, you've escaped with your life!

In short, the negotiations, which proceeded with both sides being quite candid, were comparable to Scott meeting March 7th—"I admit your meanness is greater than mine."

"So, we've reached a consensus, just as we've already decided what to do. Let's move everything forward."

Toppa's brows relaxed, his frown vanished, and he spoke with praise:

"As expected of the head of the train crew, your insight is truly remarkable! No wonder you can unite these talented individuals on the Starry Sky Train. Forgive my rudeness, but often, differing stances don't necessarily mean right or wrong—but to keep the work moving forward and prevent it from stalling, there's usually only one way—accounting!"

The golden piggy bank that had been wandering around suddenly appeared out of nowhere, just like Fang Jie had done. One after another, the company's mechs were suddenly teleported here by Zhang Zhang.

Despite the deafening roar, Topa's voice remained cheerful:

"Everyone, the reply above has been approved. — The request to launch a special attack on the Star Train members has been approved. This is my secret to smooth sailing in my career: always being ready to turn the tide. Projects under my charge — cannot afford any mistakes!"

With the accounts in hand, Toppa began a warm-up match, using his employees as expendable resources to test the Star Train's capabilities.

But she could not succeed.

"Little Yelena, I'm very disappointed."

Fang Jie, who had been pretending to be dead and watching Himeko perform, made his move when the time was right.

Skip the warm-up and face Toppa head-on.

"Call me Toppa. Please."

Toppa has always wanted to correct this way of addressing me; in public, I'm called a plant.

But Fang Jie doesn't care.

Watching Xing, who had already charged into the mech horde under the cover of ice arrows on March 7th, and was now engaged in a fierce battle with company employees and former Danheng colleagues, he shielded Himeko and Bronya behind him.

"If this is the kind of business warfare you want."

He pulled out a calcite stone, and the transformation was purely a special effect:

"I'm here to shatter your illusions."

The protective power was activated, not for any other reason than to see Topa's expression at that moment.

Golden flashes stirred, and the power of the sun descended from the sky—a surge of imaginary numbers, like a tide, flowing and guiding the currents in the places that [the protection] had once glanced upon.

Bearing the scorching sun on their shoulders, they seize everything.

"Everything is dedicated to the King of Amber!"

Bronya couldn't stop it either; it wasn't just Belloberg's problem.

And Topa—

"You must be the anonymous guest, right?"

She wasn't the type to complain, but as the sun set, she looked at her companions: one charging with a flame spear, another raining down arrows, others operating high-tech creations, and still others wielding rifles…

They routed the company's employees.

Topaz became serious as well, gripping the base stone tightly—[Topaz].

"I come……"

That's too late.

"Everything is dedicated to—the King of Amber!"

The protective power is turning. Watch closely, this is me, the transformation of the debt-collecting topaz.

Toppa, facing the warm sunset.

.

Chapter 200 Mebius: Something's not right, something's very wrong.

The sun descending from the depths of the earth was reflected in Schwarz's mechanical eyes.

"Conclusion...incorrect...Clara..."

It slumped to its feet, stopped calculating, and retreated to protect Clara.

Retreat, retreat, retreat!

From the very beginning, this 'conflict that is not really a conflict' was one it was powerless to participate in; calculations told it the outcome—Topa was invincible.

Topa, wearing a mask, didn't think so; her tone was somewhat helpless.

"Everyone, you are the nameless pioneers, right?"

"So what? Aren't we open up enough opportunities?"

The star, who was being protected, watched her transformation with great anticipation. How exciting, how exciting!

The golden-red figure, seemingly a size larger, was suddenly enveloped in a rather gorgeous dress. In an instant, a golden energy barrier, scattered with gold coins, appeared in front of Toppa, blocking the imaginary flow contained within the sunset, which was nothing more than a 'special effect'.
