Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 197 Ether Front

"The Beloborg Wild Man?"

Yun repeated in confusion, "Is this a rare species from Yalilo-6?"

Lingke hugged the teddy bear, looked up, and spoke in a slightly calm tone, but her excitement was still evident:

"Yes, it's a creature from the legends of Beloborg."

legend?

There are rumors about wild men everywhere, but actually seeing one is quite rare.

Ling Ke said with great seriousness, "It is said that the Beloborg savage's appearance is somewhere between a human and an ape. It has dark blue fur, resembles an adult male, and is elusive. No evidence of its existence can be found in the entire Beloborg..."

Yunzhi: ? ? ?

"I've seen him a few times, but he disappeared before I could take a picture," Lingke continued.

As Yun listened, the more she listened, the more familiar the description seemed.

"Are you sure this is a savage?"

Why does this sound so familiar?

Lingke wasn't sure, of course, but if everyone around her called her that...

She nodded: "They must be savages."

Yun sighed: "From your description, I seem to recall a masked fool... Oh, the faction that follows the Lord of Destiny of [Pleasure]. You should have met him—even if you don't know him, you should have seen him."

Pera tilted his head: "No outsiders have visited Yalilo-6 for many years, although there have been some recently, but..."

Aside from the company's people, it seems they only know the [Pioneer] faction.

"Never mind, maybe they really are the savages you're talking about... Some of those guys' behavior isn't much different from savages."

—【What Xiaozhi said about Aha's followers made Aha very sad】

Yunzhi: ......

"Lord Chang Le, that's enough."

The two girls in front of them were both dumbfounded.

Yun glanced at them hurriedly, ignoring the giggling laughter beside her: "Alright, I'm leaving now. Be careful and have fun."

After saying that, he didn't give them a chance to stay, turned around, and hurriedly disappeared into the wind and snow.

Pera and Ling were both puzzled.

"So rushed?" Pera seemed to see herself rushing to finish her work.

Lingke scratched her head: "There must be some real emergency... Let's get ready to set up tents and go camping."

"Okay, Lingbao."

When no one is around, you can happily call out to Lingbao.

----------------

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yunzhi, who was heading towards the main city of Belleburg, finally stopped ignoring the laughter and chatter around her.

"Lord Changletian, what brings you here again?"

After parting ways with Lan, Yunzhi thought that Aha had also had enough of their antics.

However, he now understands that it wasn't true.

I don't know whether they've been following me the whole time, or if they just suddenly decided to come.

—【Little Zhizhi doesn't know, but just now, that Star Core Miss—yes, the one you're thinking of.】

Miss Star Core?

Isn't that one of the train crew's girls?

I knew her various actions might attract the attention of [Pleasure] at any time, but hearing it now still feels a bit sudden.

Yun sighed, "Did Xing bring you any fun?"

Aha burst into laughter:

—【"Hahahaha, Little Zhizhi, you don't know, Miss Star Core went to visit the Pillars of Creation with the natives of this planet—that's what they call them—and she actually went and licked the frozen railings!"】

Yun's brow twitched.

Xingbao, what did you do?

—【"As a result, her tongue got frozen to the railing, and then she actually prayed to the star god to help her, but how could Aha possibly help her? This is so hilarious, hahahahahaha—"

Yunzhi: ? ? ?

Why would someone pray to a star god for help when their tongue is frozen to a railing? Which star god would actually go out of their way to remove your tongue?

Xingbao, Bao, what are you doing?!

Of course... Yunzhi believed that Aha had definitely seen many such trivial matters before. If he really came here specifically for this reason, then his standards for amusement were too low.

so......

"Lord Changle, if you've seen enough, please leave."

If you don't leave soon, I'll really feel embarrassed for my daughter.

—【"Hehehe, later Miss Starcore used a grand summoning spell to summon a cute little girl, and that little girl then had a little robot come to help her—oh right, you know that little girl too, she's a child raised by a robot, and it's said that the current AI leader still sends letters to that robot."】

Clara?

Did Screw Gum send a letter here? I'll go check later.

"Understood, Lord Chang Letian. I'll head back to the main city now."

The children from Xianzhou will be here soon, and he'll have to keep an eye on them.

—【"Okay~ Xiao Zhizhi is still so cold."】

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I believe that no one would be kind to someone who sees their dark past."

Those with high emotional intelligence are just putting on a brave face; who knows what they're really thinking inside.

—【"Little Zhizhi, really~ Well then, let's get down to business."】

What important business do you have here?

No matter how much he grumbled inwardly, Yun Zhi still had to pull himself together and deal with the chattering Star God in his ear: "Please speak, Heavenly Lord."

—【"Xiao Zhizhi should know about the 'Ether Front,' right?"】

"Know."

It's a very famous game.

"A game made with... technology from Punk Lords, I must say, the Academy is truly capable."

Yunzhi found it strange that, according to past memories, the main component of the Quantum Sea was ether. Why were these people able to edit ether but unable to find any records about the "sea"?

Well, maybe the train's knowledge base isn't enough. Maybe we should visit a famous library in the universe next time.

"So, why did the Heavenly Lord bring this up?"

—【"Hehehe, at the end of each season, they hold an interstellar duel celebration. You should know that, right?"】

"Know."

You absolutely need to know this.

"You want me to participate?"

—【"Their sports association wants to choose Yalilo-6 as their home stadium this time. Incidentally, it's fully sponsored by one of the Masked Fool's children."】

"Hmm, so what?"

Ah-ha wouldn't want him to take him to see that child, would he?

Full sponsorship—that's quite a lot of money.

—【"So... how about letting Aha pretend to be Xiaozhizhi's ethereal spirit to participate in the competition? Just like there's a virtual Aha in the simulated universe, there can certainly be an Aha version of the ethereal spirit."】

Yunzhi: ......? ? ? ? !!! !!!

No, are you trying to scare someone to death?

Are you kidding me?
