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

No personnel may alter any operational logs or records within the fleet, and the fleet's interaction with the interstellar peace network must not be interrupted. All personnel must immediately return to their respective branches.

"Heh, looks like someone's up to no good."

Although the wording and sentence structure were very businesslike, Lin Yuan could still sense that a storm was brewing.

Lin Yuan then forwarded the message to Captain Rein, simply giving a brief explanation.

"The fleet is returning to port."

......

Chapter 8 Returning to Headquarters

As the surrounding starry sky once again froze, the fleet completed another jump.

Thanks to the unobstructed star trails, even galaxies tens of thousands of light-years away can be traversed without hindrance thanks to the power of technology.

Of course, it wasn't like this 10 Amber Ages ago.

At that time, the cancer of the universe and the catastrophe of the star's core erupted.

When star orbits are disrupted, disaster strikes the entire universe, and all realms are severed.

The world that countless companies painstakingly built and the markets they connected were all torn apart.

Fortunately, after 10 Amber Ages of development, the problem of star core contamination of the shipping lanes has now been overcome thanks to the efforts of scholars from the Bo Shi Society.

Numerous worlds are beginning to be reconnected and explored.

Lin Yuan was very fortunate that he was not born on a planet where the Star Core Disaster had occurred.

Otherwise, for a full 10 Amber Ages, I might have been trapped on this tiny planet for my entire life.

Of course, he was even more fortunate not to have been born during a time of global locust plagues, imperial wars, or energy wars.

Back then, even with cheat codes, let alone ordinary people, it wouldn't have helped; you might have been eliminated immediately upon landing.

In the present year 2157, although natural disasters and man-made calamities still rage, the universe is much better than it was when demons ran rampant.

"2157, I wonder if the main storyline of the game has started yet?"

Lin Yuan looked at the starry sky outside the porthole and suddenly murmured to himself.

Since he gained access to the interstellar network, he has been intentionally or unintentionally trying to find out information about the train crew.

But all that could be heard were snippets of conversation about the nameless pioneers setting sail anew.

Perhaps only when news arrives from the Black Tower space station, or when the Amber King's giant hammer falls again, will Lin Yuan know exactly what timeline he is currently in.

I hope that day isn't too far away.

"Commissioner Lin, the fleet will be able to reach the Sith when it has two more systems left."

Captain Ford's voice came through the terminal, and Lin Yuan quietly agreed, then informed the employees to get ready via broadcast.

As news of their imminent arrival at Sith spread, Lin Yuan immediately sensed a burst of cheers and clamor outside the ship's cabin.

Understandably, after this ordeal, most of the crew members would want to return to their warm harbor and find solace.

But perhaps some people are just eager to go to a bar and brag about their heroic deeds.

Only Lin Yuan felt his vigilance rising as he sensed the approaching Sith Star.

As the undisputed core planet of the entire Tver system and even several surrounding star systems, Sith not only bears the core functions of politics, economy, technology, but also entertainment and vacation.

The headquarters of the Interstellar Peace Corporation in this galaxy is naturally located here.

The Market Development Department, Business Consolidation Department, Strategic Investment Department... and even the Interstellar Peace Bank, Interstellar Peace Film and Television, all have P35-level branch managers stationed here.

As one of the top partner star systems for the Interstellar Peace Corporation, the company naturally has significant interests here.

"A massive vortex of power."

This is how Lin Yuan described the place.

During the rest of the journey, he chose to close his eyes and rest, carefully sensing the changes in his body and the power of his destiny.

Soon, they arrived at Sith.

......

Feeling a slight tremor inside the cabin, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a golden light flashing across them.

He turned to look out the porthole, the outline of the planet filling his entire field of vision.

Compared to Earth, the planet in front of us has a similar appearance, but its size is far greater than the Earth in our minds.

Countless spacecraft shuttle back and forth in the atmosphere and space, while on land there are huge megastructures and space elevators extending into the universe.

Surrounding the entire planet is a huge, silvery-white artificial star ring.

At this moment, the transport ship that Lin Yuan was on was docking at the space dock on the star ring, guided by the towing spaceship.

Realizing that he was about to arrive at his destination, he did not linger in his room.

Pushing open the door, Lin Yuan headed to the largest area on the ship.

There is a huge porthole here, which is the favorite spot for everyone on the ship to enjoy the view.

At this moment, a large group of crew members were still gathered in front of that porthole.

They watched the planet getting closer and closer outside the window, discussing it excitedly.

Caught up in the enthusiastic atmosphere, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile.

But then footsteps sounded from the side. Lin Yuan turned his head slightly and saw Captain Ford walking towards him with a smile.

"We're finally back! This time we really had a close call with death!"

Lin Yuan smiled faintly after hearing this, and then said.

"Misfortune and fortune are intertwined. This safe return is a great blessing, and I am sure to be blessed with good fortune in the future. I will certainly report your contributions truthfully."

"Then I hope Commissioner Lin will give me more guidance in the future."

Perhaps thinking about some possibilities for the future, Captain Ford's face showed a rare hint of excitement.

But in the blink of an eye, his expression turned serious, and he said to Lin Yuan:

"Someone from headquarters has arrived and is waiting for you at Starport."

Seeing that his expression was somewhat ambiguous, Lin Yuan thought for a moment and then reached out his hand to the other person.

"Captain Ford, I hope we can continue to cooperate next time."

"Take care of yourself!"

The captain gave him a deep look and shook his hand firmly.

......

Lin Yuan met the team that headquarters had sent this time.

The composition of the team was very complex. After meeting with Lin Yuan, several technicians who called themselves the Development Department and the Business Consolidation Department went to the ship to collect supplies and information.

Opposite him stood a young man dressed in elite attire.

"Commissioner Lin, it's been a long time. This is Kang."

Upon seeing Lin Yuan, Kang took the initiative to greet him.

"Oh, you are—"

The person in front of him looked somewhat familiar, and Lin Yuan racked his brain trying to recall who he was.

"You must be tired from your long journey. I should have treated you to a welcome feast, but I need to rest for a while longer. Minister Kane would like to see you."

At this point, Lin Yuan remembered.

The person in front of me was none other than Minister Kane's administrative secretary.

Yorkson Kane, the deputy head of the Market Development Department's Tver branch, a position with a rank of P34, is a figure second only to the top leader.

He had only seen people of this caliber in public meetings, where they were on the podium and he could only look up at them from below.

This kind of person actually wanted to meet him? Lin Yuan was a little confused.

"Could it be that they want to know about the new planet I'm exploring?" Lin Yuan wondered to himself.

Deputy Minister Kane's primary responsibilities indeed lie in the follow-up work on the New World project, and in the division of responsibilities between the Business Consolidation Department and the Business Consolidation Department.

"Never mind, we'll find out soon enough anyway."

Lin Yuan stopped thinking about it and followed Kang onto the artificial gravity platform. A small, streamlined spaceship was parked ahead.

"What instructions has the project company given for this project?"

"Don't worry, Commissioner Lin, you will be notified later."

Kang said with a smile.

Then, he extended his hand in an invitation towards the slowly opening hatch in front of him.

"Commissioner Lin Yuan, please."

The luxuriously decorated interior of the spaceship appeared, featuring heavy and elegant seats.

A moment later, a streak of light left the dock and went straight into the atmosphere.

......

As it sailed among the clouds, the spacecraft switched to normal flight mode.

Normal extraterrestrial visitors can only disembark upon arrival at the space dock and take a space elevator to the ground customs for strict inspection.

But the company's spacecraft can travel directly between Earth and space.

Before long, a huge complex of buildings came into view.

Towering skyscrapers stood densely packed in front of us, resembling a steel forest.

Countless spaceships, like birds returning to their nests, shuttled among them.

This is the core business district of Sith Star, where countless interstellar companies and giant corporations are headquartered.

Lin Yuan looked at the scenery outside the window in silence.
