Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 288 Placer Gold: Spicy Pills

The habit of speaking incoherently was developed at a very young age, and it's impossible to change it.

The fact that Yunzhi is addressed as "Guanbai" likely reflects an understanding of his status; he is second only to the emperor. As for the prefix "Holy Lance"...

Yunzhi glanced at the spear he had casually tossed aside.

It's alright, at least she hasn't said anything like "So you're the Lady of the Great Storm Goddess".

She probably wasn't even aware of it.

Of course, calling him "Kanpaku" is a matter of personal preference. If there were an arrow next to Yun, then it would probably be called "Sacred Arrow Kanpaku".

"This is none of your business. You have your own tasks to complete."

Yun pointed to the remains of the "Qi Xiang Choir" that had been pierced by a gunshot and reminded him, "The one you're looking for... the failed product of the Primal Doctor, won't show itself now."

"If you want revenge, be patient and wait a few days."

I slapped my forehead in a random motion:

"Oh right, I almost forgot, the Jade Ninja is the most important person right now."

What?

What...?! Yu Yuan Xie Ninja?

That's how she addressed the original doctor?

"Lord Kanpaku, thank you for your reminder. Please excuse me, but thwarting the evil ninja's plan is my important mission here!"

Weren't you chasing after that bullet?

Yunzhi didn't know what to say for a moment.

He paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, be careful."

I was originally going to add, "Call me if you need anything."

Just imagine, the first thing she said upon meeting me was, "Great Storm God above."

Suddenly I don't want to see her anymore.

It's strange, quite a few people have said this before, I've heard it many times... but it just happens to feel uncomfortable at this moment.

Extremely unhappy.

He left in a flustered and carefree manner.

Yunzhi then remembered the important matter.

"But speaking of which, I messed up the embodiment of [Harmony]..."

Although it's not a big problem, given that Hipper has generally treated him fairly well—

"I'll go find the Heavenly Lord and apologize."

Lan remained calm: "Actually, there's no need for that."

Hipper will understand.

Yunzhi: ...Putting everything else aside, haven't we taken advantage of Hippe's easy-going nature and bullied him many times?

Lan Yi shrugged: "I'm not wrong. Hipe will definitely understand. Besides, didn't we help her get rid of a huge problem?"

Although this was initially supposed to be a "pioneering" mission, Yunzhi is indeed an unknown guest now.

Yun stretched.

He simply turned sideways and lay down directly on Lan's lap.

—This kid's leg muscles are quite strong, lying down... isn't actually very comfortable.

But it makes you feel very reassured.

Lan was stunned on the spot.

"Relax, Lan. You're so tense, lying down isn't comfortable at all."

Yun complained without even opening her eyes.

Lan relaxed all her muscles: "Zhi, I...you..."

"You spineless coward, all that tough talk just now, and it's all over so quickly? A three-minute trial card?"

Yun Zhi scoffed, "I said I'd give it a try, so let's try. If you don't want me to regret it, then find a way to make sure I don't."

Lan's golden eyes widened.

Excitement, joy... a complex interplay of human emotions.

"Of course I won't let you regret it, and I won't regret it either."

Because his brother was the person he loved most.

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

Meanwhile, Yunzhi began trying to cultivate a romantic relationship with Lan.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious guest room of the company's top executives, Sand Gold received a phone call from his boss, "Emerald."

"It's great to hear your voice again. Congratulations on being the biggest behind-the-scenes winner of this event."

On the other end of the phone, a woman's voice, soft as a snake, was indeed praising.

Gold dust: I feel unworthy of it.

Unbeknownst to the Emerald Lady and Miss Topa, who were still outside, they had already given up on the mission and were simply letting things take their course.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a lucky accident, giving the company an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Did you call all this way just to tease me?"

But to not claim credit for something is something only a fool would do.

"Not at all. I'm just marveling at how outstanding you are. It's no wonder that General Tianji was always so arrogant when negotiating with the company. The Yaoqing Immortal Boat has raised such an excellent child as you."

Emerald sighed, "After all, she knows very well that you're there to protect the Azure Immortal Boat."

"Don't say that. I've also brought in quite a few benefits for the strategic investment department, haven't I?"

Sand Gold said calmly.

He was unwilling to become a complete spy planted by Xianzhou within the company, otherwise he would have to hide any benefits he might receive in the future.

Now he openly declares that he is just working for the company, and when he receives benefits, he can share them with Yao Qing.

Jade, perhaps sensing something amiss in Alluvial Gold's thoughts, choked up for a moment.

"But isn't the price of all this—losing a cornerstone—too high? Of course, I know you have a lot of cornerstones, but each one is significant."

This thing isn't something that's valued because it's rare.

At the company that believes in the King of Amber, every cornerstone is precious.

"Diamond just started a meeting, a meeting about you."

Sand Gold didn't care: "As expected, so is 'Diamond' planning to demote me as well, or just kick me out of the Stoneheart Ten?"

"Don't even think about it. Among all the departments in the company, only you and that True Lord can really talk to each other. How could 'Diamond' possibly let you go?"

Jade couldn't help but chuckle: "Want to take a gamble?"

Sand Gold smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll bet on him—he's going to upgrade me to P46."

"Hmm, so what are you planning to bet on?"

"What are you betting on... just for fun. How about I give you a piece of the foundation stone?"

Sand Gold continued to laugh, even though the other person couldn't see it.

Emerald laughed on the other end of the phone: "Well, that's really something to look forward to. I'm on my way to Pinocchio. Once everything else is settled, we'll head back to Pierpoint together and get ready for the opening of the game."

"Oh, by the way, Toppa asked me to tell you that she received a message from Miss Sasana, asking you to prepare a fine leather whip—would you like me to lend you mine?"

Placer gold: ...pill spicy.

Just then, a loud bang came from the doorway.

Sand Gold suddenly trembled all over.

"It seems you have someone important arriving. Let's stop here for now."

Jade hung up the phone happily.

Sand Gold put down his hand, quickly tidied his clothes and hair, rubbed his face, and turned around...

The two company guards standing at the entrance have fallen down.

A cowboy with black and white hair walked in.

"Welcome, Mr. Portio, it's been a long time."

Placer gold keeps smiling.

Potio twitched his eyebrows: "I'm not here to catch up with you."

The cowboy wasn't going to beat around the bush with gold dust.

after all......

"Alright, Sasha, your brother will stay here. I knocked out those two outside, so you can do whatever you want. Oh, by the way, ask Oswaldo Schneider about his whereabouts later."

Potio seemed to have realized something, and turned around.

Behind him, a petite girl with immense power, who looked eight parts similar to Sand Gold, appeared before him.

Sand Gold: "Sister."

The girl's eyes were exactly like those of the gold dust, very beautiful. The delicate lines did not make her seem weak, but rather full of vitality.

"Thank you, Mr. Bobo Shark. You can go ahead and get back to work."

"Okay, have fun."

Potio turned around, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him.

The next second—

"Sister...no, don't hit my face! Ouch—"

"You think you're all grown up now?! Where's my... me?!"

Oh dear, it seems they were still thinking about their sibling relationship and didn't bring any weapons.

Potio sighed.

I'm leaving now; I have other things to do.
