Star Railway: The story of Kaffa being born with two babies at the start shocks her.

Leier nodded calmly.

"Great! Can you tell us?"

Qiong was overjoyed, never expecting to be able to go home so soon.

"Sure, but what's the price?"

Leier smiled slightly at Qiong and then said.

"cost?"

This word startled Qiong.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Everything comes at a price. You have to give something in return for what you gain, whether it's money, fame, profit, or health. So, can you two offer a price equivalent to the Star Train carriage of the Star God Akivili?"

To be honest, I definitely couldn't come up with that amount. Apart from the 40 credits we earned at the Black Tower at the beginning, neither I nor Qiong had any income since.

I don't think 40 credits is enough to buy this message.

However, Stephen Chow isn't in a hurry. If all else fails, there's always Shi Bao.

Qiong forced an awkward smile, then shrugged.

"We have no money."

As Zhou Xingxing pondered Rael's words, he suddenly realized something was amiss.

A price commensurate with the Star Train carriages of the pioneering star god Archivist? Not news?

"You just mentioned the price of opposing the Star Train carriages, so can I understand that the Star Train carriages are currently in your hands?"

Zhou Xingxing asked in a deep voice.

If it becomes a last resort...

Perhaps I and Qiong will have to resort to force to take it from them.

"I would like to keep such a precious item, but unfortunately, the train carriage is not with me."

Whether she sensed Stephen Chow's little scheme or not, Rale crossed her arms and stared at him with a half-smile.

"So you're trying to mislead me?"

Stephen Chow was speechless. He had been so excited for nothing; he thought the train carriage was right in front of him.

“It’s not about enticement, but rather that in Talia, the only order that everyone believes in and abides by is equal exchange. I can tell you the information, but without an equal price, you cannot take what you want from the other party.”

Leier shook her head slightly and smiled.

"Even overwhelming force won't work?"

As Qiong spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, as if she wanted to show off her strength.

Unfortunately, apart from a clean-cut arm, there was no sense of muscle or strength.

"Heh, powerful force can indeed break some rules, but that's not the best method—besides, even a Star God can die unexpectedly, so who dares to say they are the strongest?"

Rael took a sip of ice water, a hint of regret in her eyes.

"Of course, I'm not stopping you. You have the right to choose your own methods. I'm just offering a suggestion."

"Thank you for your suggestion, Miss Riel, but we really can't afford that price. Perhaps we'll have to resort to some special measures depending on the circumstances."

When Stephen Chow said this, he was actually thinking about whether he could trade the Black Tower doll for it.

But thinking about it, I decided against it. Otherwise, I might end up having my ashes scattered by the Black Tower when I return to the Black Tower space station next time.

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Rael couldn't help but chuckle.

"No need to be so serious, I have some good news to tell you."

"What good news?"

Qiong put down the apple juice and asked.

"You must have encountered the ratmen on your way here, right?"

"You know this too?"

Stephen Chow found it absurd because it was in an underground passage. Although it was dark, he would have been able to see other people if they were there.

"The ratmen's disgusting smell is something that anyone who has lived in Talia for a period of time will be very sensitive to."

As she spoke, a silk scarf appeared in her hand without her noticing.

She stood up, bent down, and used her silk scarf to wipe away a trace of brown blood that had not been completely wiped away from Zhou Xingxing's face.

A mature and subtle fragrance slowly entered Stephen Chow's nostrils, making him feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Qiong couldn't help but purse her lips and picked up a straw to stir the ice cubes in her glass.

After wiping herself clean, Riel put away the handkerchief and sat down.

"I'm sorry, I've overstepped my bounds."

Leier smiled slightly.

"It's okay... But what's the good news anyway?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded, not paying much attention to the matter.

"The Star Train carriages you need are precisely those belonging to the only race on Thalia that doesn't follow the rules."

"Rat-man?"

Leile nodded.

"Didn't you say before that everything has a price? You're not just going to tell us this message for free, are you?"

Stephen Chow is quite cautious, despite Miss Rachel's elegant demeanor and poised speech.

But since we're dealing with business, it's best not to ask questions beforehand, or you might get ripped off.

"Of course, you can definitely afford this price."

Upon hearing Rael's words, Qiong nervously opened her Star Treasure payment interface, which contained her total net worth of 393,520 credits.

When Rael saw Sora's appearance, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

"The price is the friendship of everyone on the Star Train."

Chapter 97 Cheers to Our Friendship

“…”

Upon hearing this, both Stephen Chow and Qiong were stunned.

I thought it was something big? Turns out, this is it!

However, Zhou Xingxing couldn't help but have some reservations about Rael's sudden friendship.

"This is quite valuable news, Miss Rael, you're just giving it to us like this?"

"It may be invaluable to you, but it is of no use to me. Even if it is a creation of the Star God, I have no use for it. To be honest, apart from the Nameless Guest who is interested in the Star Train carriages, probably no one else in my life will ask me for this kind of information. But as for the number of Nameless Guests... you should know better than anyone else."

Rael shrugged, a hint of regret on her face.

"Of course, you may wonder why I would suddenly propose to form a friendship with you, but please don't overthink it. It's simply because what the Nameless Ones did is similar to the beliefs I uphold. You follow in Akivilli's footsteps, helping the planets you pass by and bringing them peace and order. That alone is enough for me to want to form a friendship with you."

Rael looked at the two of them with a smile in her eyes and said very sincerely.

"I see. Well then, it's a pleasure to be your friend, Miss Rael."

Zhou Xingxing nodded and smiled in return.

"Since we're friends, there's no need for such formality. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Riel Starena, you can just call me Riel."

"Hello, I'm Xing, and this is Qiong."

Zhou Xingxing then introduced Qiong, who was busy slurping apple juice.

After a formal introduction, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

At least it's not like the boss and the customer just now.

"Arno, get me a map."

Rael gave an order to the armored man sweeping the floor nearby.

The armored man didn't say anything, put down his broom, and walked into the shop.

They refilled their glasses with wine and apple juice, and then chatted casually during their free time.

“Even though you’re dressed in such a…wasteland style, Rael, your manner of speaking is so elegant.”

"Hehe, because I'm not a local, I'm just staying here temporarily. Since I'm living here, I should naturally dress like the locals."

Leile smiled and revealed that she liked to collect all kinds of dresses, but it wasn't appropriate to wear them in this environment.

This is somewhat similar to someone else, except that she likes to collect coats.

"Why stay on such a planet temporarily? Because of business?"

The environment on this planet is so harsh, and its technology doesn't seem particularly advanced either. If I had to choose, this planet would definitely not be on my list of retirement options.

"No, although this place is known as the Starry Junkyard, it is also one of the most famous black markets in the universe. You can often see some interesting things here. You can see all kinds of strange things from the entire universe without leaving the house. This is very interesting to me."

"I see."

Zhou Xingxing nodded. After all, thieves from all over the universe gathered here, and the things they stole from all over the universe were indeed varied.

As they were talking, Arno came out, accompanied by the distinctive clanging sound of his armor.

"Thank you, Arno. Go on with your work."

Riel took the map and spread it out on the table.

"Um, such an old map..."

⑥|④|⑥)|①|③|⑥).*(@|⑥|⑤|⑨|

Stephen Chow was embarrassed; the parchment scroll was yellowed and looked quite old.

"There's no way around it. Thalia is full of underground cities, and it's incredibly complex. If you try to find your way using ordinary satellite maps, it's simply impossible."

"And this parchment scroll..."

Just as Stephen Chow was about to say that a hand-drawn map was even more impossible, he saw that the lines on the parchment scroll actually moved, and then the patterns on it slowly floated in the air, forming a three-dimensional 3D map.
