Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Walter and Yan Huan will personally handle the reception.

In addition, the Huichangshi was able to be unsealed so quickly thanks to the guarantee of a distinguished guest.

"Is it really you?"

On the Huichangshi.

Yan Huan, dressed in a formal gown, was summoned by Black Tower to personally receive Screw Gum.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Yan Huan."

Screw Gum nodded slightly:

"Mr. Yan Huan is like the warm sun of early spring, melting away all the snow of error."

"So? What kind of project are you planning to bring onto our ship?"

Yan Huan looked at the black tower beside her:

"Why not just get it into your Black Tower space station?"

Black Tower raised his chin and gave a soft snort:

"Who knows?"

"Screw insists that the Black Tower Space Station is my property and cannot be left there."

"I'm curious, what can't be put here? Is there something in your project that I can't know?"

"Or are you secretly doing some shady research behind my back?"

Screw Gum smiled faintly:

"Logic: I would like to personally invite Mr. Yan Huan to participate in a thought experiment."

"If it's carried out on the space station, then it's no longer in a personal capacity."

Looking at the Black Tower, Screwgoom explained:

"Based on the underlying logic of the simulated universe and using the technology of Screw Star as a carrier, I created [Differential Universe]."

"As a sub-project, it undertakes some independent research on the simulated universe."

"Currently, the differential universe is operating on a project proposed by a scholar from a certain erudite society."

"Etc., etc……"

Yan Huan quickly called for a stop:

"Whether it's the differential universe or the simulated universe you collaborated on before, it's all about fighting and killing."

"So, you can conduct experiments just by fighting, right?"

"I don't want to fight anymore. A game only introduces all sorts of conditions for fighting if there aren't any good activities."

"Emmmm..." ScrewGumm's mechanical brain was working at lightning speed:

“Mr. Yan Huan, please believe me, I am not such a boring person.”

"This will be a clash of ideas."

"Conclusion: The collision of ideas is always a joy, and I look forward to meeting more academic partners."

Screw Gum looked around at the magnificent clouds:

"The scenery of the dreamland is always dazzling, and the gentleman from the Academy of Liberal Arts has quite a few complaints about it."

“I invited him to represent the Society for the Study of the Arts and Sciences and to bring some outside blood to the research of geniuses.”

Conclusion: He refused.

"A boring study." After figuring out Screw's purpose, Black Tower exited his dream.

"..."

Yan Huan turned her head and looked at Walter and March 7, who had been listening silently behind her.

"Yuan Fang, how do you see?"

March 7th pondered:

"I feel great about putting the project on our ship."

"After all, we're not exactly cultured people. Having something high-class on board can help elevate the spaceship's prestige, right?"

Walter said in a deep voice:

"Since it is Mr. Screw Gum's research, we should naturally do our best to cooperate."

The Star Train and the Genius Club have always had a good relationship, and they have often docked at the space station to exchange information for a long time.

Screw Gum smiled faintly:

Thank you for your understanding.

“I once heard a beautiful analogy from that scholar.”

"Star gods and mortals are like the two ends of a function equation. By solving the unknowns on one end, we can find the answer on the other end."

"Searching for the records of the star gods is like finding a needle in a haystack, while the stories of mortals are everywhere."

He believed that the path of all living beings on their journey to truth was the only way to seek the truth, rather than appealing to the gods.

Screw Gum recalled the scholar's words:

"[Over hundreds of Amber Ages, the Candlelight School has collected a vast amount of historical material, which is now completely public.]"

"[But the 'geniuses' who gaze at the stars probably have no time to pay attention to these historical remnants rotting in the ravines.]"

"This gentleman's suggestion may be a bit harsh, but it is not without reason."

Screw Gum glanced at the spot where the Black Tower had left.

"Of course, the Black Tower expressed a completely opposite view."

"But that equation between God and man seemed to have come to life, spreading infinitely in my inspirational circuits, like petals unfolding."

"By introducing the archives of the Candlelight School into the sandbox of the Differential Universe, and using [mortals] as the tracking targets of the calculations, a model of destiny is constructed."

"I have named this subject: [The Human Comedy]."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks will fly when people's ideas collide."

After Screw Gum's explanation, the three of them roughly understood what kind of research he wanted to do.

So Walter went ahead to find a suitable location for Screwgoom to establish a research site.

Meanwhile, March 7th and Yan Huan had some free time and began to wander around the Huichangshi ship.

"Hey, this really is our territory now!" March 7th looked around at the luxurious decorations and was very happy.

"We can play games and watch shows here from now on..."

"Oh, by the way, we also have a small bar here, so we can earn some extra money from the drinks our customers make!"

"..." Yan Huan suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong?" March 7th nudged Yan Huan's arm and asked.

"Aren't you happy to be able to take over such a large spaceship?"

"No, I just thought of a question."

Yan Huan looked at March 7th:

"There are sailors on our spaceship, right? There's also a first mate, and various facilities have corresponding staff."

"Then here's the problem."

"Their salaries...are also paid by us?"

"...?" March 7th was also stunned.

Previously, she had not considered this at all.

Yes.

The ship's crew aren't unpaid.

Now that the ship belongs to their Starry Sky Train, they can't very well ask the five major factions for their wages, can they?

"Then, what should we do?" March 7th asked nervously.

“We’re dirt poor. Uncle Yang doesn’t know, but judging from his usual behavior, he probably doesn’t have much money.”

"Himeko-neechan doesn't give us much pocket money to begin with, and now she has to pay the staff's salaries."

"Pinocone's dividends haven't arrived yet, so... won't our train's financial situation get even worse during this time?"

"No, we need to talk to Dan Heng about this!"

……

Fairy boat.

Luofu.

Beside Changletian Road.

Wearing a green baseball cap and a red vest, Dan Heng looked at the two of them and remained silent.

"..."

Yan Huan and San Yueqi also stared at Dan Heng without saying a word.

"..."

The two sides remained silent for a long while.

On March 7th, he finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Pfft, hahaha... Danheng, what's with your outfit? Why are you wearing a green hat? Is that a toilet plunger you're holding?"

"..."

"Green... means environmental protection."
