Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

“…Please don’t imitate children so casually!”

……

"We've arrived at the Perpetual Motion Machine House - hey, didn't Jeppard say there would be a performance here?"

Looking at the tightly closed door, March 7 pouted. What?

Dan Heng shook his head and said helplessly: "His original words were 'occasionally there will be performances', you blocked out the two most important words."

"Damn, I'm so interested..." Sanyueqi put his hands on his hips, looking disappointed.

"Are you waiting for me?"

A voice came from behind the crowd, and someone was approaching.

"Wow, what a cool sister!" Sanyueqi's eyes lit up.

Chapter 19 Friend or Foe, Choose!

"My name is Shiluwa, and I'm the owner of this mechanical house."

The blonde woman in front of me introduced herself.

"We're new here, and we heard from that guy Jeppard that there's a performance here." Xing said, pointing to the closed door.

"…New here? Jeppard…"

Xiluwa was a little shocked. Ever since the passages between the upper and lower floors were blocked, only old acquaintances came to her place.

Suddenly she seemed to think of something.

"Ah, I see! I heard from a guard who keeps his mouth shut that a few "outsiders" met with Cocolia - you guys, right?"

Xing raised his head and put his hands on his hips, indicating that it was us!

"Don't be so arrogant!" March Seven complained.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiluwa waved her hand. This gray-haired girl was really interesting.

"You are a rare guest! Do you want to come to my machinery shop to chat? There are many good things in there."

Shiluwa invited everyone, and since everyone had nothing to do at the moment, they agreed.

Several people followed Xiluwa into the perpetual motion machine house.

As soon as you enter the door, you can feel the retro mechanical style. The huge gears are rotating on their own. The way they rotate goes against structural physics, so is this the origin of the name "perpetual motion"?

The environment here reminded Kevin of a friend, a girl with multiple thoughts who liked to study "arming Kevin".

"By the way, we have a lot of heaters outside..." March 7 suddenly remembered something and spoke.

"That is the most common earth marrow heater in Beloberg. Don't be fooled by its inconspicuous appearance. It is the life-saving device for people."

Seeing that March 7 looked curious, Xiluwa introduced him to everyone.

"With such a strong snowstorm outside, if there were no reliable means of heating, the entire Beloberg would have become a dead city long ago."

"Beloberg 'up and down'? Can you explain it?" Danheng grasped the key words.

"Don't you know?"

Although Shiluwa was a little shocked, as this was obviously a well-known matter, she still introduced it patiently, remembering that none of them were locals.

"The structure of the city of Beloberg is like two large disks connected together. The upper area is responsible for administration and trade, while the lower area is responsible for energy supply and resource extraction."

"Then why didn't we hear anyone mention the lower level area along the way?"

March 7 discovered the blind spot.

"They are all praising the Great Guardian and the city builders of all generations, as well as how great Beloberg is."

"Because of an order issued many years ago, there has been no personnel exchange between the upper and lower districts for many years, and only the most basic material transactions remain."

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Shiluwa patted her head embarrassedly.

“…Hey, why are you saying this? Just treat it as me talking to myself.”

"Then why is the heater placed outside?" Xing suddenly asked.

"It's the same as making a fire to cook, right? If the house is a big pot for cooking, the heater is the fire outside the pot."

"After hearing her description, I couldn't think of anything to complain about..." San Yue Qi said, spreading his hands.

"I have a broken heater here. You guys seem to be free, why don't you try to fix it? It'll be a handicraft activity, very interesting."

Shiluwa pointed to the heater in the corner and looked at everyone with a smile.

Sanyueqi and Xing immediately became interested and walked over to help with the repairs, while Xiluwa gave instructions from the side.

Dan Heng had nothing to do. He looked at Kevin, who was leaning against the wall, thinking about something. This guy hadn't spoken a word since he came out of Krippenburg.

"What are you thinking about?" Dan Heng asked.

"I was thinking... never mind, this isn't the right place to have a conversation."

Kevin said, glancing over at Shiluwa.

"Maybe she really has this passionate personality, but I don't trust her yet. Let's talk about it at the hotel."

Dan Heng nodded and said nothing.

After a while, the heater was repaired.

"Not bad, not bad. You are very skillful and have a high level of understanding! Would you like to consider becoming my assistant? The compensation may be average, but I will definitely treat you well in other aspects."

Xiluwa praised from the side.

"Okay, no problem!" Xing smiled crookedly, "Since you said so, I won't leave!"

"Huh? You can't resist the temptation!" Sanyueqi raised his eyebrows and complained.

"Hahaha, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously." Shiluwa laughed. The sight of these two girls bickering was so funny.

"I have to get on with my work. You can go look somewhere else. You are always welcome to visit the Machinery House... and of course, you are always welcome to shop here."

"Okay, see you next time, Sister Shiluwa."

San Yue Qi replied politely and pulled Jiang Xing over. This guy had just got in the car and he couldn't be abducted by a gentle and mature big sister.

……

Everyone left Shiluwa's machinery house and were on their way to the hotel when they heard a sound.

"Stand back! This is the final warning!"

Two guards were stopping a man from entering the alley behind them, and the man kept begging the guards.

"But, but... my financial certificates are all in there, why are they not..."

"The Rift has eroded the neighborhood! You can submit a request to the City Builder to reclaim the supplies, but non-Iron Guard members are prohibited from entering!"

"Old man, you'd better give up on this idea. The edge passage is very dangerous now, and we are doing this for your safety."

An iron guard who felt sorry for them advised that more and more people were begging to go in recently. Although he felt sorry for them, he couldn't let anyone go in and die.

"If I can't get proof of property, I'll be as good as dead! Get out of the way and let me in..."

The man covered his chest, as if he was extremely weak.

"Ugh……"

The two guards sighed.

Said March 7, who was watching all this from a distance.

"That should be the alley that Jeppard mentioned, the one that was contaminated by the Rift. It's actually so close to the city center..."

"The star core is still active, and the rift erosion will continue to expand. These soldiers can't stop it. The rift monsters will continue to be born and multiply."

Dan Heng frowned and said that this great guardian obviously did not do what everyone said. The world-ripping monsters were almost reaching the center of the city, so why didn't he send more troops?

"By the way, did you see the stars?"

San Yueqi suddenly asked, how come this guy was holding her hand just now and disappeared all of a sudden.

Kevin and Dan Heng shook their heads. They had been listening to the Iron Guards' conversation and hadn't noticed that Xing was missing.

"That guy always likes to run around, maybe he's rummaging around in some corner..."

Kevin remembered that Xing had been tossing and turning in the simulated universe before, and he felt that the guy must have been eyeing something.

"Let's look for him. What if he was kidnapped by someone with bad intentions?"

San Yue Qi said with some concern that she felt Xing was a little weak-willed and could be easily deceived.

"Will she be kidnapped?"

Kevin didn't really believe it. With Xing's fighting power, he would definitely beat the person who kidnapped her to a pulp and take all the money.

But he still followed San Yue Qi to search.

Finally, the three found Xing in a trash can in a corner.

When Xing was found, this guy was holding a trash can lid on his head, spitting out fish bones from his mouth and muttering that it was delicious.

"Why does this kid eat garbage?" San Yue Qi said speechlessly, holding his forehead.

"She doesn't just eat garbage..." Kevin recalled the scenes that happened at the Black Tower Space Station before.

If you have good teeth, you won’t get sick.

Xing saw the three people coming over, so he rummaged through the trash can and asked.

"Do you want to eat?"

Three people:......

Kevin raised his hand and froze the star and the trash can into ice cubes. Sanyueqi and Danheng lifted the ice cubes, covered their faces with their hands, and walked into the Goethe Hotel amid the puzzled looks of passers-by.

The three of them walked to the hotel lobby, but it was empty because it was too late.

San Yue Qi and Dan Heng put down the ice. Kevin took out the Holy Fire Spear and sprayed fire at the ice. The ice gradually melted and Xing crawled out of the trash can.

She looked at Kevin with a resentful expression.

Kevin spread his hands helplessly. If he didn't freeze her, he probably wouldn't be able to drag her away.
