Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

As they watched Lin Yuan standing there giving a passionate speech, their despair wavered slightly.

"The Amber King proclaims: The power of [Preservation] will protect His followers, and the power of [Preservation] will bring utter destruction to His enemies. Let us all shout together, and dedicate everything to the Amber King!"

A series of infectious words seemed to possess an invisible force that began to influence the emotions of the crowd.

Gradually, life returned to those previously numb faces, and everyone's eyes began to brighten.

"All is dedicated to the King of Amber."

First, a quiet prayer.

"All is dedicated to the King of Amber."

What followed was a cry to relieve fear.

"All is dedicated to the King of Amber!"

Ultimately, the fervent atmosphere invigorated everyone, and in the face of adversity, they all resolutely shouted their appeals.

"So, when exactly will this item take effect?"

Lin Yuan, who was pretending to be a charlatan, was unsure of himself, and cold sweat gradually crept up his face.

In an instant, a purple light suddenly ignited in the distance, and the terrifying attack in the distance was fully charged once again.

A purplish-black beam of light crashed down from the heavens, heralding the arrival of destruction.

"If I survive, I will bring you true destruction next time!"

Lin Yuan stared coldly at the deep purple in the distance, muttering to himself indifferently.

Credit points purchasing power reference:

Regarding the purchasing power of Star Railway Credits, the author referenced multiple aspects within the game.

This includes the in-game credit system for players, encompassing reward distribution, daily rewards, shop purchases, official documentation, and more.

In summary, the exchange rates used by players are completely unreliable as a reference.

A snack, drink, and bookstore can cost two to three thousand credits, but some texts suggest that even 4000 credits would be enough for two people to live comfortably.

A side quest also reveals that 1000 credits evoked many emotions in the two soldiers, and the fact that the space station transferred 2 million to a tea-selling scammer terrified the scammer.

Even if it costs 20,000 to buy a small cake, Liu Ying would be trembling. This is without considering the exchange rate used by the player, and only considering most of the references in the text.

A 1:1 exchange rate between credits and RMB purchasing power is appropriate and easy to understand.

Therefore, it's reasonable for Himeko to give the gray-haired girl several hundred yuan for living expenses in the story.

It is reasonable for Star Core Hunters to have bounties ranging from tens to hundreds of billions of dollars as interstellar wanted criminals.

Pinocchio, as a well-known resort destination in the universe, has an average net worth of 40 billion, which is reasonable, considering that some of the richest people on this small planet are worth billions.

Chapter 5: Embarking on a Fateful Journey – Something seems off?

Destruction arrived as expected, and a purplish-black light enveloped everything.

The expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur as Lin Yuan had imagined. Somewhat surprised, he raised his hand and saw a golden light rippling across his skin.

My whole body began to warm up, as if I were soaking in hot water.

His previously empty mind gradually calmed down and became peaceful.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan felt his thoughts abruptly pulled away, the surrounding cabins seemed to disappear, and a brilliant starry sky surrounded him, as if he were standing in the starry sky.

"Could this be a narrow passage between life and death?"

Lin Yuan's mind was clear at that moment, and he suddenly felt that something seemed familiar.

He walked forward unconsciously, the space seemingly endless.

Lin Yuan walked for a long time, and he didn't know how much time had passed.

At that moment, touched by something inexplicable, he gently raised his head.

It was as if a sun was rising in an infinitely distant place.

This... no, this is the core formed by the convergence of the light of thousands upon thousands of stars. And surrounding it, there is a vast, shadowy landmass.

Lin Yuan felt his thoughts constantly exploring into the distance.

He suddenly realized that it was not land, but a huge figure whose true form was hidden from view!

Lost in thought, Lin Yuan wanted to investigate further.

But at that moment, intense pain suddenly tore at his nerves, and a purple pattern spread across his body.

In the far distance of the starry sky, in another direction, something seemed about to appear.

In an instant, it was as bright as the sun in the sky.

Two enormous pupils suddenly lit up like the sun, and a face devoid of joy or sorrow appeared, as if looking down upon everything.

Seeing that face, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a burning pain, like the sun scorching his heart.

The next moment, everything went black before his eyes, and the dazzling starry sky around him was completely burned away.

The cluttered cabin was somewhat dim, and the originally bright lighting system was now mostly dim.

Sparks flew and the groans of the employees echoed all around.

"I'm alive?"

Lin Yuan's thoughts were still immersed in the pain he had just experienced, but at the same time, he felt the warm golden light constantly easing his pain.

After a moment, his mind became clearer.

"Shock resistance complete. Warning: Defense system energy reduced to 2%. Warp system continuing to recharge, progress 96%."

"Progress 97%"

"Progress 100%"

"Charging complete. Proceed to jump?"

Even amidst the chaos, the intelligent system faithfully performed its duties, and Lin Yuan inexplicably felt that its voice had become endearing.

"Confirmed. Proceed with the jump now!!"

Lin Yuan shouted loudly in his subconscious.

"Warp initiated. All crew members, please return to the appropriate area according to regulations. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...."

The surrounding starry sky was suddenly stretched into beams of light, and Lin Yuan lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The next moment, the surrounding starry sky changed colors like a kaleidoscope.

Soon, as the scene of the starry river gradually took shape, another starry sky appeared around the fleet.

The jump was successful, and the fleet successfully escaped the encirclement of the antimatter legion. They were finally safe.

Lin Yuan got up, and as the energy system continued to restore its power supply, the lights in the command room became bright again.

He quickly went to the command post and activated the broadcast system.

"Dear comrades, this is Lin Yuan. Under the protection of the Amber King, we have successfully jumped and escaped the enemy's encirclement. In short, we survived and can go home!"

Lin Yuan's voice echoed throughout the fleet, and after a moment of silence, a sudden uproar erupted.

The sheer joy of surviving the ordeal was evident on the faces of every employee, and many wept with joy.

Only after experiencing death can one truly appreciate the preciousness of life.

"I never thought a miracle would actually happen?"

Captain Ford walked slowly over from the side, his face still showing disbelief.

"Captain, arrange for ship repairs and treatment of the wounded. I'll leave this to you. I'm a bit tired and need to rest."

"Go and get some rest, Commissioner Lin. We're counting on you this time."

The captain looked at his youthful face with admiration, and finally gave him a solemn salute.

"Everything for the Amber King."

Lin Yuan nodded in return, then walked out of the command cabin looking tired.

Along the way, no matter what position the employees he encountered were in, as long as they recognized his face, they would stand still and pay their respects to him with admiration.

Lin Yuan, who was experiencing this unprecedented treatment, returned to his private cabin with a tired expression.

......

"call--"

After lying back in his seat, Lin Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

The fatigue on his face at this moment was not feigned; he was severely exhausted, both mentally and physically.

The horrific scene he had just witnessed on the brink of death was still affecting his mind.

At that moment, Lin Yuan truly felt that he would explode and die from the force he was about to withstand.

How did I survive?

Pain continues to emanate from my entire body. Although there is a constant energy repairing my damaged body and mind, it seems that it will take some time before I can fully recover.

"The bodies of ordinary people are indeed fragile."

Just as Lin Yuan was about to close his eyes and rest, the terminal in his shirt pocket vibrated and made a sound.

With a helpless sigh, Lin Yuan had no choice but to take it out.

A long string of messages kept popping up on the screen, which he glanced at briefly.

It turns out that during the attack by the antimatter legion, the telepathic sensor experienced severe interference.

Only after we moved to a location with stable signal was communication restored.

Because my entire project team had disappeared, my department head and some familiar colleagues sent me messages asking about the situation.

Lin Yuan first sent an incident briefing to his superiors and members of the year-end review team, then reported that he was safe to his close colleagues before throwing the terminal onto his desk.

Given the outcome of this project, Lin Yuan had no idea how his evaluation results would be.
