Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 154 Treasure: It Must Be Alright

Let's return to the present.

Looking at the blond youth inside through the spaceship window, Yun Zhi sighed.

Although Lan did do something bad for the company a few days ago...

But that wasn't intentional.

Didn't I already say? It's because the planet where the company headquarters is located happens to be very close to that bountiful planet...

So Lan definitely didn't do it on purpose.

And the company didn't say anything, did it?

Thinking of this, Yunzhi immediately calmed down and could face the company's employees with a normal mindset, while also suppressing her last bit of saintly sentimentality.

So he continued to look at the peacock inside the airship.

(Let's not worry about whether sound can travel in a vacuum for now. Let's just assume that the company's technology has already achieved that, or that it can transmit sound over long distances.)

Sand Gold gazed at the true form before him.

—It seems that the True Lord has no intention of hitching a ride.

A little disappointed.

"Do we need to go out on fieldwork?"

Before I could even savor the taste of disappointment, Yunzhi's voice reached my ears.

Sand Gold was stunned for a moment.

Then, he immediately replied, "It's to prepare for the upcoming mission. True Lord, you are now..."

Didn't I just receive the news? Yunzhi should be on the Immortal Ship [Luofu] right now, right?

It's not that he can't wander around in space, it's just...

"I just went to see the Lord of Destiny [Tongxie], and I'm on my way back to Luofu."

Yunzhi didn't think there was any need to hide it.

Placer Gold:...?

The company is currently planning to regain control of Pinocchio.

Pinocone is now owned by the family.

The family follows [harmony]...

At this critical juncture, should the True Lord go to find the Lord of Destiny, the Star God Xipei, who is also known as Tongxie?

Sand Gold couldn't help but start letting his mind wander.

"Would you mind revealing your next task?"

Before Sand Gold could figure it out, Cloud's voice reached his ears again.

"It's Pinocchio..."

Sand Gold hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Yun Zhi seemed inclined to listen, he continued:

"You know the history of Pinocchio, don't you, sir?"

Yun raised an eyebrow.

I know.

Originally belonging to the company, now belonging to the family, and the future...

Perhaps it will continue to be a star of the event, perhaps it will return to the company, perhaps...

It was completely annihilated.

Whether in the eyes of the universe or the stars, the destruction of a planet is never worth mentioning.

Unless it's a global locust plague or a catastrophic event that excessively disrupts the balance.

"This place..."

Yun sat relaxed on the warhorse, stroking its thick mane with one hand:

"They sent us an invitation a while ago to attend their 'Harmonious Music Festival'... It's like they were afraid I wouldn't go, so they even sent me an invitation too."

"I'm not interested in the stuff in there, and I have no interest in playing any treasure hunt games..."

Sand Gold's smile widened slightly:

"So, did the invitation you received, True Lord, also contain those messages?"

Clouds gaze through the stars of the universe toward Pinocchio—

"Does it matter whether it exists or not?"

In his hand, the light screen flowed, seemingly transforming into the shape of a longbow.

A trace of killing intent emanated from it, causing the nearest airship to tremble.

But that murderous intent vanished in the next moment.

Yun Zhi gave a formulaic smile.

"I went to Pinocchio for fun."

Sand Gold: "...Pinocone is indeed a very beautiful place, and it is also very suitable for visiting."

He paused.

"However, this Harmonious Music Festival involves many factions, and some friction between the various forces is inevitable..."

Sand Gold carefully observed Yun Zhi's expression.

I can't say for sure, but there will definitely be friction between the company and the family.

However, Yunzhi's smile seemed to be welded onto his face, making it impossible to discern Zhenjun's thoughts from that mechanical smile.

"I don't care about any of that. All I know is that I'm doing this for fun. Maybe I'm not the only one; I know quite a few other Star Gods."

Sand Gold: ...Are you threatening me?

He thought this way, and he asked this question:

"Are you... threatening the company?"

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and asked the question in a joking tone.

"No, I'm just stating a fact."

"I'm not sure if the general will come with me, but if I invite him, he will definitely come."

Yun Zhi closed his eyes briefly, his smile brightening slightly: "If the general is coming, [Joy] will most likely come along too."

"There's a 50% chance that if some... iconic scene happens there."

After all, based on his impressions over the years, Liuguang Tianjun appeared solemn and dignified, but in reality, he was gossipy and nosy.

His followers, the light cones of the Flowing Light Court, are at least realistic.

He gave the cone of light to the clouds, leading the way in spreading rumors.

"And I just went to see [Tongxie]."

So Hipper should be paying attention to this.

So many celestial beings are paying attention to Pinocchio; look at that, what a huge influence it has!

So, in summary:

"In that case, I think Pinocchio will be fine."

Yun Zhi squinted and smiled at Sha Jin: "You agree, right?"

Gold dust: This is a threat.

Why don't we tell "Diamond" that the company should just give up on Pinocchio? Anyway, this bad debt has been going on for so many years, so let it stay bad.

Regardless of whether other factions will take action, the company at least needs to distance itself from the situation.

"Mr. Sand Gold, I have no intention of interfering with the company's normal operations."

While Sand Gold was still struggling with his own thoughts, Yun Zhi noticed and continued in a cheerful voice:

"It had to be fine while I was at Pinocchio."

The gold dust raised its head.

I met the smiling face outside the window.

then……

"I heard that the closest place to Pinocchio in the Immortal Boat Alliance is Yaoqing, I think."

The Yaoqing Immortal Boat rarely docks, as it is either on a hunting expedition or on its way to one. The company and Yaoqing have relatively close ties, with both mutual assistance and mutual exploitation.

Yaoqing is the most skilled starship in the Immortal Ship Alliance when it comes to fighting enemies.

Sand Gold laughed along, "Of course nothing will happen—at least, the company won't cause any trouble."

Let's make a promise first, and talk about the rest when we get back.

That would be best.

Yun nodded: "I trust the company's sense of propriety."

"But please tell Mr. Sand Gold to go back and say that it was I who said this, and that the company should be aware that the envoy sent to Pinocchio should be prepared to withdraw at any time."

As Sandkin said, Pinocchio is now a complex group of factions, and conflicts are inevitable.

and so……

"If Pinocchio is in trouble, I'll make sure it's completely fine."

"We have received authorization from Lord Hippe, so you all need not worry."

Sand Gold: ...So you went to the Star God of Harmony just to tell Him that you wanted to shoot Pinocchio?

Something seems familiar... Didn't something similar happen a few days ago when Pierpoint was destroyed by a beam of light?

"Alright, that's all. I'm leaving now. Do as you please."

After saying that, Yun patted the warhorse's neck and rode away.

Sand Gold watched as Yun Zhi's figure disappeared into the end of the universe.

Take a deep breath.

Therefore, if something truly major were to happen while Zhenjun was in Pinocene, Pinocene would likely face two choices—

Choose either the Star Destroyer Cannon from the Immortal Ship or the Star Destroyer Arrow from the Hunting Ranger.

So, what he should do now is...

Back in my room, I dialed the phone—

"Sister, I got to talk to the True Lord again today!"

Cat is happy
