Zhou Xingxing quickly turned his head and looked around, but after a long time, the silver wolf did not reappear.

"It seems like the joke went a bit too far. You should apologize properly next time."

Seeing that Silver Wolf seemed genuinely angry, Stephen Chow felt a little guilty.

"Brother Xing, we've found all the parts, we can put Clara down now."

Zhou Xingxing nodded, no longer thinking about Silver Wolf, and gently placed Clara on the ground.

Clara knelt down next to Pascal, clutching a pile of parts, and looked at him with a happy expression.

"Pascal, come here, Clara will replace some of your parts so you can move around more easily."

"Clara██ helped█ thank█ Pascal█ happy."

Pascal obediently lowered himself and sat on the ground, entering standby mode.

Clara, on the other hand, picked up her tools and skillfully began to remove Pascal's rusty parts, then wiped the previously found parts clean and put them back in place.

With such skillful movements, it's hard to imagine that Clara is still a child.

"Clara, you look so skilled at repairing robots. How long have you been doing this?"

"Clara can't remember clearly either. She's just been helping Mr. Schwarz take care of the robots since she was very young, so she's learned how to repair them without even realizing it."

Stephen Chow watched Clara repair the robot while chatting idly.

"Xing, so you've come here."

Seele's voice came from afar. Zhou Xingxing got up and looked over. Seele and Bronya were walking this way, each carrying a box.

"You've finally finished talking."

Stephen Chow smiled and waved to the two of them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I got a little excited after regaining my childhood memories and ended up walking around with Seele a bit longer."

Bronya said somewhat shyly.

"It's okay, as long as you're happy."

"Speaking of which, who is this person...?"

Bronya nodded, then looked at Clara, who was engrossed in repairing Pascal.

"Huh? Clara?"

Seele looked down and saw that familiar figure, and couldn't help but call out.

"Eh? It's Sister Seele."

Clara looked up when she heard Seele call her name, and asked in surprise.

"Why did you come to Rivet Town alone? I've told you so many times, it's very dangerous here."

Seele frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, Sister Seele, Clara actually came here to find some medical supplies, because many of the wanderers in the camp have been injured recently, and there aren't any supplies available over there."

Clara said somewhat apologetically.

"Seele, don't be so fierce."

Seeing Seele's stern expression, Bronya sighed helplessly.

"Ah, I'm sorry, but these little guys always like to come to such dangerous places by themselves. I'm really afraid that they'll be discovered by the Rift creatures and something bad will happen to them."

Seele sighed, rubbing her forehead with a slight headache.

"Don't worry, Seele, thank you for your concern. Clara is very familiar with this place, nothing will happen."

Clara smiled at Seele, and seeing that innocent and cheerful smile, Seele couldn't stay angry anymore.

"Where's that guy Schwarz? Why didn't he come with you?"

“Mr. Schwarzro has very important things to do and can’t get away, so Clara was thinking of doing something to help him.”

"Hmph, that guy probably isn't planning something that goes against the Earth Fire again."

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately snorted coldly.

This feeling was even stronger when he thought about how Xing had recently helped Di Huo find a mineral vein.

“Mr. Schwarz only wants to help everyone underground. Although Mr. Schwarz only believes in his own calculations, Clara will try her best to persuade him. So please try not to have any conflicts with Mr. Schwarz.”

Clara looked up at Seele with a pleading expression and said.

"Don't look at me like that... It's like I'm the bad guy. Don't worry, the Earthfire and Swallow won't be in any conflict for now. But those homeless people living next to him... ugh, a bunch of annoying flies..."

Chapter 35 Mediation Work

Seele looked annoyed. Actually, the people of Earthfire didn't have any problem with Schwarz, since Schwarz didn't really pay any attention to them.

The main problem is that the homeless people are always causing trouble, and since they live outside Schwarzro's residence, people often associate the homeless with Schwarzro.

“I’m sorry the homeless people have caused you trouble, Seele. But the homeless people just want to survive. However, there are very few jobs in Rocky Town, so the miners are ostracizing the homeless people, which is why this happened... It’s not that everyone is deliberately causing trouble.”

Clara bowed to Seele, apologizing on behalf of all the wanderers.

"Clara, you don't need to apologize for them... Never mind, let's not talk about these unpleasant things for now."

Seeing Clara's appearance, Seele waved her hand helplessly.

"Speaking of work, should we tell Clara about the mineral marrow? After all, the miners will be short-staffed for a while."

Zhou Xingxing asked Xier what she meant.

“You discovered the mineral marrow, so you can make the decision yourself. I believe the people of Earthfire have no objections,” Seele nodded.

"Mineral marrow?"

Clara seemed to understand something, and a happy expression appeared on her face.

"Have the people of the Earthfire discovered a new mineral marrow?!"

"Well, it wasn't exactly discovered by the earth's fire, it was discovered by the stars."

Xi'er nodded, then pointed at Stephen Chow.

“That’s right, it’s a very large vein of mineral marrow, so the current mining progress in Panyan Town is estimated to be very slow. You could consider persuading those homeless people to come and work for you. Although it’s hard to calculate wages since they’re not formal miners, you can pay them based on the amount of mineral marrow they extract. The more they work, the more they earn, and that way, there won’t be any conflicts between the two sides every day.”

"Paying wages based on quantity? Hmm, that sounds good. Before, these homeless people were always causing trouble because they said they didn't get as much wages as the miners. Hmph, they don't even realize that one miner is worth several of them. If it were like this, they wouldn't have anything to say. I didn't expect you to be so good at finance."

Upon hearing Zhou Xingxing's proposal, Xi'er nodded in satisfaction.

"You're satisfied now? Alright, this task is yours, Clara."

Seeing that Seele was satisfied, Zhou Xingxing smiled at Clara.

"That's great! Clara will tell the homeless people about this when she gets back. As long as they have work and food, they definitely won't fight!"

Clara patted her chest as she spoke.

"Clara guarantees the mission will be accomplished!"

"Hmm, compared to that, how's Pascal's?"

"Ah, Clara is almost fixed. Actually, it's not really a repair, just replacing some new parts for Pascal."

Clara sat down again and continued assembling parts for Pascal.

"Many humans, happy Pas, many friends."

Pascal didn't move, but he seemed quite happy listening to the lively sounds around him.

"This robot...is it saying it's happy?"

Bronya was taken aback when she heard the robot's voice.

"What is this? Is it a pre-programmed sequence?"

Seele looked at the surprised Bronya with a bewildered expression and asked.

"No, this is unlike any program I've ever seen. It's more like a self-aware robot. This is the first time I've ever seen a self-aware robot."

"A robot...has consciousness? Then isn't that similar to Schwarz? Could this guy be another Schwarz?"

Upon hearing this, Seele was startled and her gaze toward Pascal turned somewhat unfriendly.

One Schwarz is already annoying enough, but if another one comes along, how are we supposed to live in the lower districts?

"Don't worry, Pascal is different from other robots. I think it's much more emotional than Schwarz."

Seeing Xi'er's hesitant expression, Stephen Chow couldn't help but laugh.

"Huh? Brother Xing, have you met Mr. Schwarzkopf before?"

Upon hearing Stephen Chow's words, Clara couldn't help but raise her head with a hint of surprise.

I spend most of my time with Mr. Schwarz, especially when Mr. Schwarz goes out, he always takes me with him.

But he had never seen a star before.

Stephen Chow was a little embarrassed, having let something slip again.

"Um, I've heard it from someone, oh right, from Hook. She always proudly said that her hole-punching machine was bigger than Schwarzkopf's fist."

"Oh, it's Hook."

Clara nodded, suddenly realizing what she meant.

"What? Hook has met Schwarzro!?"

Upon hearing this, Seele's voice rose several octaves.

"Well... actually, Clara went out to look for parts one time and found some parts buried under the rubble. Hook, who happened to be passing by, saw them and helped me. That's how we met. Then... we played together for a while. Hook even asked me to join her mole gang, but before Clara could answer, Mr. Schwarz came looking for me and took me away."

"I see."

Zhou Xingxing nodded. No wonder Hook was so resentful; it turned out that Clara, whom he almost got, had slipped away.

"Thank goodness, I thought Hook had secretly gone to the Swaro camp to play. I was almost going to tell Nata on him."

Seele breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"What kind of robot is this Schwarzman you're talking about?"

Bronya looked completely bewildered, as if she were the only one present who didn't recognize Swaro.
