Honkai Impact: Star Railway: I'm really not a Star God!

“The mining area is the lifeline underground. We must ensure the supply of minerals so that we can get the materials allocated to us on the surface from the transportation line.”

"To quell the situation, Chief Oleg led the subterranean fire into the mining area, leaving the town's security to me, but the situation inside is critical, and I also need to go and provide support..."

After explaining the situation, Seele's gaze fell on Bronya.

"Oh, and you too—once we see the leader, we'll have to let him decide how to deal with you."

“Perfect timing, I was just looking forward to meeting the leaders of the lower districts.”

"Hmph, fine, then you can see for yourself what a mess the underground is in now."

Xingzuo glanced at the two of them again and again...

Are they just kids, arguing back and forth like that?

Are you guys being arrogant?

Chapter 55 Schwarzkopf, You're Missing Something

Following Seele's footsteps, the five arrived at the mining area.

On an open ground before officially entering the mining area, there were newly erected tents everywhere, where many wounded soldiers were able to recover for a short time.

Upon arriving at the camp, Seele's gaze was drawn to the back of a figure who had just finished working.

Slightly surprised, her expression turned ugly.

"Natasha's here... Has the situation become that tense?"

Hearing the noise behind her, Natasha turned around and saw her four patients and Seele.

"Nata! I didn't expect even you to come. Where did Oleg go?"

"Hi, Seele, and..."

After a moment's hesitation, Natasha realized that she didn't seem to know these four patients very well.

They should be considered... Sambo's guests, right? After all, they were all people Sambo brought down.

"Guests of Sambo, it seems you already know each other?"

Natasha nodded to the four people and answered Seele's question.

“I didn’t see Oleg either. The miners said they saw him leading a group of people deeper into the mine.”

Looking around the camp, Xing thought of a phrase: adding insult to injury.

In the lower zone, injuries can be difficult to treat. The temperature of the furnace core makes the lower zone less cold than the upper zone, but the combination of high temperature and humidity makes wounds more susceptible to infection and worsening.

In addition, the lower-class areas suffer from low levels of education, as well as a scarcity of medical supplies and doctors.

Natasha sighed as she pointed to the crowd not far away.

"See these people? They are miners and their families. They are here to demand an explanation from the thugs who caused the trouble. This area in front is a gathering place for homeless people. The entrance is now blocked up, probably to prevent retaliation from the angry miners."

Before this, Hoshino had heard some things from Seele about the situation in the mining area. It was about a conflict between the miners and some organized vagrants, but the situation was probably not going to end well.

Seele asked, puzzled.

"How did things get to this point?"

Logically, this shouldn't be the case. These homeless people usually don't clash with the miners. Even some thugs should know about the existence of the underground fire. If they cause trouble, aren't they afraid of being dealt with?

"It is said that the First Mining Team discovered a mineral vein with astonishing reserves... Preliminary estimates suggest it is the largest mineral deposit discovered in the last thirty years."

"Really? This is such big news, how come I haven't heard a word about it?"

After hearing what Natasha said, everyone understood.

A simple struggle for interests.

The people in the upper-class area were not completely wiped out.

As long as you provide earth marrow upwards, the Iron Guards in the upper zone will receive it and then transmit the resources downwards.

If they don't even provide supplies, how could the miners in the lower areas possibly dig for the earth's core?

Isn't this just a waste of energy?

It would be better to break through the blockade and overthrow the Great Guardian.

"They don't want to make a fuss. Most of the mining area has been contaminated by the rift, and many people have lost their jobs. If this news gets out... I'm afraid miners will be fighting tooth and nail to get in."

"But the mining team couldn't hide it from the homeless people here. After all, they're not blind. Some thugs and hooligans wanted to make a quick buck by extorting hush money from the mining team... which crossed their line."

Xing, standing to the side, slapped his fist, feeling as if he had suddenly realized something.

Isn't this blatant bullying of honest people?

Have you never experienced the power of a pickaxe?

However, if we want to use the Earth's fire to gather information about the star core, this problem must be solved. Xing pondered for a moment and said with certainty.

"The mineral vein should belong to the first person who sees it."

"This is indeed the law of the underworld, but the vagrants are shouting their own rules: 'Everyone who sees it gets a share,' which resulted in a violent conflict between the two groups, causing heavy losses."

Natasha shook her head, helpless in the face of the situation. Every day, a number of wounded soldiers were being sent to her clinic, causing the clinic and camp to be almost overflowing with beds.

"Are you here to help resolve the conflicts in the mining area?"

“That wasn’t their intention. These people need something from Chief Oleg, so I brought them here.”

Seele steered the conversation toward the train crew and Bronya.

......

"Clara..."

In the mechanical settlement, Clara, who was happily playing with the little robots, was stopped by Swallow. She looked at him in confusion.

"Mr. Schwarzlo...do you need Clara's help?"

After Brother Lingkong and Mr. Schwarz went to chat privately, Clara was initially worried that a conflict might occur, but since there was no argument between them, she dared to start playing.

To be honest, Clara was quite worried that Mr. Schwarz might suddenly reach out his hand, determine that Brother Lingkong was a dangerous target, and fire a laser cannon directly at him.

But Mr. Schwarz seems a bit strange these days...

∑(′△｀)？ ！

Clara remembered that Mr. Schwarzschild used to speak without hesitation...

Seeing this, Ling Kong walked over and said something mysterious.

"Clara...who do you consider Schwarz to be to you?"

“Mr. Schwarzroth... is Clara’s family!”

"Yes, so Brother Lingkong just went to talk to Clara's family."

"You had a chat...?"

Clara's little head didn't understand what was going on.

how...

Why are Brother Lingkong and Mr. Schwarz acting so strangely after they had a chat?

Seeing Clara's reaction, Ling Kong chuckled and reached out to rub Clara's little head.

"Clara is so cute."

Under normal circumstances, Swallow would probably have gone berserk and teleported to Clara's side, firing a laser cannon at the top of his lungs.

But when Swallow saw this scene, it didn't react much; instead, it showed something... indescribable.

It's like... there are more emotions involved.

"Clara, don't worry. Brother Lingkong and Mr. Schwaro didn't have any conflict. They just exchanged something, and that thing won't harm Mr. Schwaro~"

According to information transmitted from the upper-level clone, Original Sin has already begun its operation. Since the upper-level area has started, the lower-level area should not delay and should also begin its own operation.

Coincidentally, he had a considerable liking for Clara, and Schwarzlo's mechanical settlement also possessed sufficient strength.

As for the exchange, he only cheated a little bit secretly.

Would you like to become Clara's family?

"As Clara instructed, I am her family—"

This stranger was strange; he couldn't see through the air at all, and the system couldn't make a judgment, so Clara's logic had to be relied upon.

If Clara says she's a friend, then the danger level decreases.

“Swaro, the rifts give rise to more than just monsters... they also produce miracles, but you... are still missing something.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light appeared at Ling Kong's fingertip and rushed into Schwarz's body. The core of the machine began to change, and the underlying logic gained something new.

"In exchange, I want you to do something for me..."

Chapter 56: Enemy Roamers Discovered, Annihilation Mode Activated

Tomato has updated and removed the function to view reader information. You have to go to the web version and scroll through them one by one. I'm so frustrated! So now authors can't reply as quickly, decisively, and accurately anymore (sad)

As is widely known, Dr. Zun ascended from a celestial computer.

Since computers can become star gods, what's wrong with him giving Schwarz more emotions and making it more human-like?

Why not?

It's simply that machines are heartless, while flesh and blood are sentient.

Even if one cultivates the path of forgetting emotions, the prerequisite is still having emotions in order to forget them. He doesn't believe that Doctor Zun hasn't developed his own intelligence; he probably already awakened his emotions long ago.

Although the conditions for advancing to Star God are unclear, there is one that Ling Kong feels should be fine.

To become a god, one must have the power of emotions, to merge and sublimate one's ideas in a certain moment, and then integrate them into one's path. Then one's hobby becomes a 996 work schedule, endlessly forcing one to work, and a star god who will die on the spot if one does not work for a day.

That's why people say that the Star God is a prisoner. You love something because you love it, not because you're forced to do it.

Of the 18 known star gods, it seems some died suddenly.
