They are quite fond of each other and have come to Xingtie

“…Same as always, to prevent resurrection.”
Finally, he jumped off the corpse that had been half turned into powder, and gave Eula a smile that was neither bloodthirsty nor arrogant, but rather shy.
“I really lost to you.”
Eula thrust the greatsword upside down, putting aside the slight worry that had just arisen in her mind, but Kong was very sensitive to her momentary loss, so he took the initiative to step forward and gently stroked her cheek.
“You two, I must remind you that if you break the connection while fighting on a repulsion bridge, you may fall off.”
Alan’s frightened voice came from behind at an inopportune moment: “Stuck a weapon into the floor is the most dangerous behavior.”
“…Alan, didn’t Ester tell you that you can’t understand the atmosphere?” Eula, who had just found a little mood, turned around and glared at Alan in annoyance.
“Miss always says that.”
“…Forget it then.”
Wave Knight also knew that now was not a good opportunity to express her emotions, and after Paimon slowly descended from the ceiling with a smoke bomb, she looked directly at the big Woohoo who was almost pierced by an arrow.
“Woo!”
“It’s thanking us.”
Kong was already used to acting as an interpreter between spirits and humans, and continued to imitate Wuwubo’s speaking style in a weird tone:
“Now all of Rong Ke’s belongings have been collected. In the control room of the repulsion bridge, Uncle Wuwu has erected a tombstone for him… What is this?”
The leader of the Wuwubers lowered his head slightly, took out a chip from his mouth, and dropped it into Sora’s palm.
“Is it Officer Rong’s diary?”
The terminal quickly read the text information, but after a quick glance, the ease on the surface of the text gradually turned into solemnity.
“In addition to the diary, there are letters from home… He also received a letter from his family… Well, the content of his letter is really… a classic example of only reporting good news and not bad news.”
The cold reception that Rong Keyuan suffered at the Black Tower Space Station did not reach the ears of his relatives. In addition, because he boasted about himself and did not want his family to worry too much, the wording of his letter instead inspired his father and many poor people in his hometown…
His hometown of Sin-41 was ruled by the Slink people, and the civilians were subjected to almost endless hard labor, living under high-pressure rule for generations.
Only Rong Keyuan was selected by the Black Tower Space Station and became a genius among the people.
He also sent lies to his family about how much he was valued by the Black Tower, which gave many people hope and made them feel proud.
But other data collected by Wuwubo showed that false hope caused a tragedy in Xin-41, and those who were inspired to resist died under the butcher knife of the Slink people…
Rong Keyuan could not really bring back the power to change the living conditions of his people, and he himself would never be able to support his hometown again.
A shipwreck is a tragedy. Everyone has their own difficulties. Kong will not judge whether Rong’s behavior is right or wrong. After all, he was once one of these struggling people, and he would have more or less feelings, even if his reason often told him that it is best not to empathize.
Eula, who read the letter with Sora, was also in a bad mood. Synesthesia could largely show the power of words, allowing her to resonate.
This is simply another history of “the struggle between the common people and the nobles of Mondstadt”.
“To enslave others for the desire of false immortality… it is so stupid that it cannot be more stupid…” Eula gritted her teeth.
What she hated most was that someone made the same mistake as the Lawrence family.
“…Xin-41 is rich in hallucinogenic spices? Can it amplify perception?”
What Eula saw was “slavery” and “resistance”, while what Sora saw were other more detailed things.
The most crucial clue in this letter is not slavery and resistance, but the spice that the Slinks are addicted to… Perhaps it is the key thing that can help the residents of Xin-41 truly embark on the road of resistance.
Amplified perception ability…Woowoober’s psychic talent…spiritual bionics experiments…all the clues are connected together.
It turns out that it is precisely because he comes from a colonial planet full of spices that he has the ability and motivation to deeply understand Wuwubo.
“I think I know what kind of invention I should submit to Black Tower and the others, if all goes well.”
If you want to help one person, or even a group of people, it is not enough to think from an individual or group perspective. After all, this is a world that has experienced an era of interstellar development, and Kong’s thinking must at least be based on planets.
You are lucky, Rong Ke, we have the same interests – I will do my best to help you save your homeland from the Slints.
After thinking about how to persuade Heita and Esta, Kong handed the chip back to Wuwubo: “Let’s go, Officer Rong did me a favor, I must return the favor.”
Alan and Youla were both stunned: When did he help you? You never met him when he was alive, right?
But no matter how confused they were, they would follow Kong. There was a huge power flowing in Kong now, as if after reading those letters, he had risen higher and unconsciously revealed a convincing temperament.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
At the invitation of the uncles, the three stood in front of the tombstone and observed a moment of silence in honor.
Originally, there would not be any human participants in this funeral, but these pure little guys, uh, and some big guys as well, were very sensitive to kindness and malice, and without the need for Kong and his group to prove themselves too much, they treated them as “their own people.”
“Let his tombstone stand here forever.”
After a moment of silence, Alan made a promise: “He died on the job. Although life broke him down, he was still thinking about restarting the magnetic field equipment and protecting other people in the space station… His information must be preserved. I will apply for an additional pension from the station chief to send back home for him.”
“The compensation must be sent back, but Alan, I have some ideas about Sin-41 and I need to discuss it with Ester…”
The light in Sora’s eyes slowly lost its luster—the golden-haired idiot went offline, and the Paradox Society criminal came online.
“Your suggestion can help me strengthen Ester’s determination.”
35. Do it, Your Excellency!
Just like what he said to Holhaiya before, Kong believed that the disputes among the stars had never stopped. In order to protect himself and the people around him, he needed more help to ensure the normal operation of the system, meet the needs of Party A, and obtain stable and efficient support.
To gain the trust of Party A, sometimes it is necessary to make some changes to the world, and sometimes it is necessary to do nothing. It depends on what specific operating rules Party A wants to incorporate.
The Star Dome Railway system allowed Kong to have more connections with the world, which was why he boarded the train and joined the club, but these local aids were not enough in the face of the might of the Star God.
The power of an individual is always limited. Even if Kong can move mountains and fill the sea and explode stars with one hand, he will habitually look for more companions until he develops a powerful group that even the Star Gods are wary of, such as the United Fleet, the Resistance, Xialai, and other organizations that have the power to change the way civilization operates. Only then can he be considered to have barely gained a foothold in this world…
He thought about accumulating connections through pioneering behavior, but it turned out that this approach, which was in line with the RPG tradition, was too slow – both the accumulation of favors and the accumulation of material things were too slow.
Plunder. After this action, he thought of a not-so-authentic way, which was to quickly expand the friendly forces around him and develop his network through some kind of plundering behavior, but he did not do the plundering personally, he only needed to amplify the desires of his partners.
The first step he had to take was to drag both Heita and Ester into the water… by continuing to write Rong Cang Zhong’s thesis.
After returning to the support module, Kong immediately contacted the Black Tower with the club voucher, and asked Estelle to go to the public berthing area together. He told them that he had a research project that could help the Black Tower space station recover quickly, but he needed their help.
Heita hadn’t slept the whole night as she had been busy with the expansion of the simulated universe, but upon receiving Kong’s invitation, she still came as soon as possible. It can be said that she took Kong very seriously.
“Should we call Ruan Mei and Screw Gumu? Dr. Kong?”
“No, the fewer people involved in this matter, the better. I will only tell the first and second partners. Considering that you two have sufficient resources and means, and you are also Rong Keyuan’s superiors, I told you, otherwise I would have gone it alone long ago.”
Both of them have close ties with the train, so they can be invited to the train to discuss important matters. Of course, Kong doesn’t care so much about whether the news will leak out, he just wants to create an atmosphere that the talks are very important.
“Can I tell you now? If you want to test it in the simulated universe again tonight, I have to go back and debug it.”
“This matter is also somewhat related to the simulated universe… I’m interested in the project of Mr. Rong Cang Zhongke, which will be very profitable. He specialized in Protoss biomimetics and bioelectric reflexology. Although he has passed away… But the research topic he left behind on Wuwubo really concerns me——”
Kong simply threw out two high-sounding words, raising Rong’s research to a higher level.
“At first, I just wanted to continue his research on this topic, but I found that he could get rid of the limitation of age to a certain extent and talk to Wuwubo. This is closely related to the specialty of his hometown Xin-41, a spice that can develop psychic potential.”
Kong stated his purpose seriously, while Eula on the side was meticulously making tea for the three of them, snatching Pam’s job. Not to mention, she just sat next to Kong, and both her appearance and elegant tea-pouring movements gave Kong a strange sense of majesty, making Heita and Ester subconsciously think that he should have such an outstanding female companion by his side to take care of everyone.
“After leaving the surface of Sin-41, his fully developed psychic powers should still remain highly active. Through this special feature that he himself is not aware of, he can locate Wuwubo and produce a communication effect similar to synesthesia.”
Sora picked up the teacup and took a sip, just like some important figures at the negotiation table.
“Huh, I’ve read the files. When arriving at the space station, Officer Rong brought some specialties from Sin-41 as samples. Let me tell you the conclusion. This stuff can develop psychic energy and is very precious. The entire planet of Sin-41 is a huge treasure trove waiting to be discovered. The Slints who own the treasure trove have been using spices as tobacco and have no idea of the true value of this treasure trove. I think the Interstellar Peace Company… no, Miss Ester will definitely be able to maximize the value of the treasure and keep it from being covered in dust.”
This statement was a bit too blunt, but Kong had a good grasp of the two men’s personalities and did not cause any offence.
“…Ah? Mr. Kong, are you trying to help me expand my vault?” Estelle tilted her head, showing enough interest: “The spices that increase a person’s psychic affinity… How come this valuable item has been in the vault for so long, and I didn’t even know it existed…”
“Esda, Dr. Kong said that he values research projects, not mining projects.”
The puppet in the black tower points directly to the essence.
She picked up the teacup and said, “I guess you are planning to follow up on Rong Keyuan’s project and submit a great invention to the club that is worthy of being recorded on your holographic portrait? And Xin-41’s spice is one of the raw materials for this invention?”
“That’s right.” Sora crossed his legs, his posture becoming more relaxed:
“The fact that the spice was not presented to you must be related to the backward review and grading system, but more importantly, it is because no one has developed the correct method for using the spice. This brings us to the bionic research of Wuwubo. Through their spiritual organs, the effect of the spice can be amplified. The clues in Rong Keyuan’s paper all point to one answer, which is that the psychic signal he sent out is related to his being affected by the spice and the transfer of Wuwubo’s spiritual structure. The combination of the two can produce a force that can change the status quo of the universe.”
Kong said calmly:
“The spice should be replaceable, but I can’t find any material with higher psychic potential and ‘ownerless’ for the time being. This thing is a necessity in the short term. It would be best if we could control the origin. Stationmaster, please try to provide money and manpower to take over that place. The Slynts have enslaved humans for too long. It’s time to bring the ‘justice’ of the Interstellar Peace Company to the locals.”
This is not fair at all, because Kong is too lazy to pretend.
“As for the Black Tower, you just need to allow me to carry forward the research of Rong Keyuan and slap back those jealous guys when they reach out their hands. That’s all.”
“…Mr. Kong, I’m not a believer in hunting.” Ester pretended to be embarrassed.
Even Ester wouldn’t go against Xiao Qianqian, but she still had to pretend to refuse.
“The Slynts are nothing to be feared.”
But Heita’s attitude was so real that she didn’t take those so-called higher life forms that enslaved the local humans seriously at all.
“It doesn’t involve other Star Gods, and it can also expand research funds… Ester, go for it. If you’re worried that you don’t have enough power, you can share some of the leftovers with your relatives. After all, the patent is with Dr. Kong.”
“Oh, is that so?” Estelle tapped her cheek, then revealed an extremely cute smile: “Then we can only help Officer Rong to avenge himself.”
36.Oh, I want to find you, no matter north, south, east or west?
As he wished, Sora got the spice sample of Xin-41.
With the permission of Black Tower and Ester, it would not matter if Kong took over a department with heavy personnel losses to conduct his own experiments. However, in order to maintain his “excellent personality” established in the space station, he chose to complete the invention in his own room on the train.
The amazing thing about the Star Train is not just that its internal usable space is larger than the actual external space. The ability to fine-tune objects based on imagination and make them have the same uses as the real things is also quite explosive in many worlds. It can be said that in this small room, the passengers can dispatch their own “kingdom of God” at will. If they say there should be light, there will be light; if they say there should be a large particle collider, there will be a particle collider.
Kong wouldn’t be so bored as to write down all the experimental equipment he had used, but with the help of the system, he could naturally retrieve the design drawings and materialize them in the car. By the time Holhaya finally got up from the bed, Kong had almost finished the experiment with the spices.
“If I knew the formula for the composition of a star god, would I be able to create one from the rare objects I have discovered?”
Kong heard Hor Haiya tiptoeing to the sofa on the other side. She kept working but started chatting with her.
Although he was said to be inventing something, his goal was very clear and he had many similar models for reference. It didn’t even take him half a day to complete the gadget he was going to hand over to Heita.
“Jizi said that the carriage cannot create living things. Although the Star Gods seem to have escaped the realm of life, they still have independent consciousness. Various data can prove this.”
“What’s up with Pam?”
“It may be a bit rude to say this, but I think it is not a creature imagined by passengers, but a creature that comes with the train.”
Holhaiya lazily shook the feathers on her head. It seemed that she was so exhausted that she had to go on a mission once before, but she still hadn’t adjusted herself.
