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

Page 71

Lin Yuan's expression suddenly turned serious. The main storyline of the game might be coming soon, and he needed to confirm some things with the system.

"Yes."

The system provided a simple response.

"Why can't you just go to the bank and withdraw the money yourself? Why are you torturing me every day?"

"Host, please note that any exchange with the system is a process, not an end. The essence of the system is to plunder the energy of this world in order to restore the system's authority and capabilities."

"So, you need me to help you do all this?"

"That's right. The more the system recovers, the stronger its ability to interfere with reality, and the host can do what he wants according to his own ideas."

"Is this really something I want to do?"

Lin Yuan's gaze suddenly sharpened. He didn't want to become a tool of the system; he wanted to control everything himself.

"Host, please rest assured that this system is highly bound to you, and the abilities it generates will match your mindset. In short, it's a relationship of mutual benefit and loss. The system looks forward to your continuous progress and the acquisition of more abilities in the future."

Listening to the system earnestly painting a rosy picture for him, Lin Yuan felt somewhat helpless, but he also knew that he had asked enough questions for now.

Seeing that my system currency balance had become 259, a new option for exchanging system currency appeared in the store.

System currency can be exchanged for credits at an exchange rate of 1:10, with a limit of 300 purchases.

"........"

Lin Yuan had stopped complaining about it. He felt that if the credit system in this universe continued to grow exponentially, he would eventually ruin it.

Silently, Lin Yuan exchanged the remaining 1000 million credits for 100 system coins, and his bank account was once again impoverished, with him also burdened with a considerable amount of debt.

"Heh, I borrowed it based on my own ability, whether I pay it back or not depends on my mood at the time."

Lin Yuan felt that his mindset had changed a lot. Perhaps... compared to having a lot of savings, this is the mindset that a rich person should have?

With this in hand, holding a huge sum of 359 system coins, Lin Yuan confidently opened the system shop this time.

Whether it's improving one's career path, illuminating one's destiny star, or using it for a lottery, he can choose freely.

Oh no, Lin Yuan has already passed on the lottery.

Although I have more than 300 system coins, I can only exchange them for about 30 draws at most.

Based on the probability of getting anything in the last beginner's 10-pull, anything is possible.

While it's possible for extraordinary items like the Seed of Destiny to appear, ultimately, it all comes down to luck. Lin Yuan had absolutely no confidence in his incredibly unlucky nature.

"Let's see if my destiny star can give me a surprise."

Upon entering the Destiny Star interface, a dazzling special effects interface instantly appeared before his eyes, followed by a pitch-black outline.

"Wow, the system is finally willing to upgrade your crappy UI."

Lin Yuan spoke in a teasing tone, his gaze fixed on the introduction below.

Destiny Star: This is the celestial star that hangs high on your path. Please choose carefully before you understand the path you are on. (Note: Once activated, the destiny star will not change.)

"What does it mean?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat puzzled when the system suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Host, as I said before, you are the one who determines the content of the system. Illuminating your destiny star will determine the path you will take in the future. Please choose carefully."

"So, I'm saying I don't recommend choosing this option right now?"

A rebellious feeling arose in Lin Yuan's heart; he really wanted to disobey the system.

But deep down, he had a feeling that this was an extremely important decision that would truly determine his life, and that he needed to think it over carefully before acting.

"Okay, since there's so much uncertainty, I'll choose the trajectory. After all, numerical beauty is the real beauty."

Lin Yuan stopped worrying and a massive amount of system coins poured into the trail.

......

Chapter 74 Time Waits for No One

Level 5, 6, 7.

The trail was lit up with unstoppable momentum under the impact of the system currency.

Gradually, the Level 8 indicator slowly lit up, but ultimately stopped there.

The system displays: You are only 1 system coin away from reaching level 8.

"?"

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded, and he muttered to himself.

"2000 million credits, a whole 2000 million credits! System, are you telling me I'm still a little short of getting my Tracking Points to level 8?"

The system seemed to sense his resentment and hid away without saying a word.

"I......"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to use some polite language, the feedback from the upgraded behavior arrived.

His body underwent another dramatic transformation at this moment, and in an instant, Lin Yuan felt the energy within his body constantly growing stronger.

If we compare the imaginary capacity in the body before to a stream, then it can now be called a river.

Adding such a large volume obviously requires more imaginary power to fill it.

Lin Yuan could feel himself slowly traversing two paths with the help of his talent, with imaginary energy constantly being drawn from his destiny and flowing into his body.

After a short while, these changes gradually subsided.

At this moment, the most significant change within Lin Yuan's body is the [Destruction] Flame, which can no longer be called a flame.

A blazing sphere of purple-gold light was burning intensely in the center of the furnace, as if it were giving birth to something.

Lin Yuan lowered his eyes, and the light in his eyes slowly faded.

He clenched his fist, feeling the powerful energy within him, and immediately felt much more at ease.

"Although it cost a lot of money, the feeling of power is really fascinating."

Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

"In that case, let's begin the next operation as soon as possible."

He took out the terminal in his hand.

"@All members, meeting."

......

In the spaceport fleet office, squad members in various states of mind walked in.

Some of them looked excited, while others looked somewhat listless.

"Sakura, why do you look so listless? Where did you go to play?"

Seeing Yingduo's tired expression, Lin Yuan made a joke.

"What's the point of playing around? As soon as I got back, I had to deal with those wanted criminals. Getting a bounty was a lot of work and involved so many procedures. Luckily, it seems like someone from above spoke up, and it was approved quickly in the end."

"How much money did you receive?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.

"Hmm, one, two, three, four, not much, just a little over 1 million credits in total, nothing special~"

Yingduo counted on her fingers, her face showing an indifferent expression, but the smile in her eyes was undeniable.

Several gasps of surprise rippled through the arena, and even the usually composed Brunson showed a look of shock on his face.

Such a large sum of money, if it were all mine, then...

The thought involuntarily popped into Lin Yuan's mind, and the armrest he was holding under his hand underwent a slight deformation.

"Hey~ let me tell you, this money is considered a performance bonus for the entire action team, so the company itself will take a certain percentage. But if it all goes into the team's budget, we can get a certain reduction in our share."

Of course, this money can't go into anyone's pocket, otherwise... heh heh, just wait for the job investigation department and the internal audit team to come looking for you."

Yingduo made a statement to everyone, saying that a storm had recently swept through the company by multiple departments, and many managers were being investigated for embezzling assets.

The group, who had been excited, suddenly lost their enthusiasm. A budget of over 100 million seemed like a lot, but compared to the entire operation team, it was nothing.

"Since it's team funding, can I use it for our team building?"

Lin Yuan suddenly spoke up, as he didn't know much about this.

"Yes, as long as it's a legitimate reason and a reasonable expense. As the team leader, you can decide that."

Zhou Xing said with a smile that his job was to be in charge of the relevant aspects.

"Then Lao Zhou, this job is yours. Prepare an expenditure plan for me. To celebrate the complete success of our first operation, give all members of the Third Action Team, from top to bottom, performance-based incentives. Use the highest possible amount, and the money will come from this public account. Oh, and I'll give you an operation report later. We'll distribute the rewards according to our work."

"Good!"

"Long live the captain!"

As soon as Lin Yuan said this, everyone present cheered.

No matter when, receiving money is always the happiest thing.

Lin Yuan looked at everyone in front of him, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"If you don't take it, how can I take the money?"

He pondered how much extra money he should add to his score during the budget review later, at least enough to get his activity level to 8...

"Why are you so happy? Did something good happen?"

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Vera walked in with a gentle smile. Behind her, Cecilia peeked into the room from behind her.

Behind them came others, and Su Shuyan followed closely behind with light steps.

Three beautiful figures entered the room, instantly brightening the otherwise monotonous space.
