Star Railway, starting as Kiana

He thought he was about to become a billionaire, but he found that it was all just a dream.

But on March 7th, he suddenly looked at Kiana and Lao Yang.

It seems that anyone on a train might be held back by money, but these two never seemed to consider that issue, buying whatever they saw directly.

Kiana's situation was clear to her; she had a wealthy guardian named Estád.

But what about Uncle Yang?

Don't be fooled by Kiana's shopping sprees during her breaks; she only spends a small amount on food and drinks. Unlike Uncle Yang, who spends a considerable sum on model kits and figurines each time.

March 7th has never been one to keep things to himself; he says whatever comes to mind.

So she looked at Walter Young, who was lightly tapping out records, and asked, "Speaking of which, why does Uncle Young seem to never have to worry about money?"

"Mr. Walter is an exception."

Old Yang, acting like a young man, chimed in with a comment.

"Envious, young people."

Although March 7th and Star never lack money, and their coffers are even fuller on each planet they visit.

But the two of them genuinely envied adults who had financial freedom.

Only Danheng, who was content with his lot and never bought anything, naturally didn't understand why the two were envious.

Even if it was his past life that he was unwilling to admit, as the Dragon Lord, how could he possibly lack money?

While the group was still discussing, Kiana noticed a new message on her phone.

Upon opening it, as expected, it was still an unfamiliar account.

Kiana didn't check the message immediately; instead, she dialed customer service right away.

"Hey, isn't your security level a bit too low? Strangers are hacking into your servers every day and sending me messages..."

Meanwhile, the customer service representative on the other end of the line, looking at the so-called stranger who was marked with a special certification representing the ten members of Stoneheart, fell into deep thought.

"Oh no, what do I do?"

"Should we contact the manager?"

However, Kiana was just venting. After all, there are so many people in the universe, and many of them are incredibly talented. Solving this kind of problem is almost impossible.

After venting her frustrations, Kiana opened the new text message.

Upon seeing the text message, Kiana immediately thought she had been scammed.

The content of the text message was too fantastical and completely inconsistent with the company's image.

Moreover, it's such a coincidence that the text message arrived right now, after Star Train acquired the copyright from Pinocchio.

Dear Ms. Kiana, I apologize for bothering you. Due to the unpleasant experience you had at Pinocone, our staff has caused you some distress. To express our apologies, we have transferred 5% of Pinocone's shares to your name.

I sincerely hope you have a wonderful journey ahead.

The message contained a lot of platitudes, which Kiana chose to ignore. After being simplified, it contained the text message content mentioned above.

Kiana did indeed acquire shares in Pinocene, transforming herself into one of Pinocene's shareholders.

"So, who exactly is this person? And who is this 'my company'? How the hell would anyone know which company you're from!"

Emerald, after sending a message to Kiana using the Stoneheart Ten's dedicated PR account, couldn't help but pinch her colleague Toppa's cheek when she saw Toppa looking somewhat puzzled.

"Just ask whatever you want, there's no need to hold back. Yelena Toppa's real name."

“We acquired a 30% stake in Pinocchio and gave 5% to the train. I can understand that it’s to tie the train to the train for easier movement and to further cooperate with the train crew.”

"But why distribute another share?"

“Yelena, you’re still too naive. But then again, when you met the nameless passenger on the train in Belloberg, Kiana wasn’t on the train, and you didn’t know her.”

"So it's because of that young lady?"

Jade shook her head.

She recognized Topa's abilities; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to promote him when he first joined the company.

But Toppa's thinking was still too naive in some ways.

Chapter 332 Account: Master, save me! There's an idiot here!

"Even without Kiana, these shares would still be distributed to other people under other names."

"Kiana happens to have some connections with the company and is also a member of the Star Train. In addition, she has two members of the Genius Club behind her, so she is the best candidate."

"Without her, the shares might have been given to the Institute of erudition, or given to Dr. Latio in his personal capacity, or even to Miss Robin whose song resounds throughout the world."

Looking at Toppa, who still seemed a little confused, she rested her chin on her hand, making a cute little expression on her chubby face.

"Still don't understand?"

"No, why would we split it off? We used the cornerstone as the stake, and the gold itself as the bargaining chip, all for Pinocene's shares, right? So why..."

"30%, Yelena, have you forgotten what this number means?"

30%? Huh? Huh!

After being reminded by Jade, Toppa realized the reason.

A 30% stake, while not a majority, is still a terrifying amount.

With nearly a third of Pinocchio's shares, the company could easily make Pinocchio an affiliate by manipulating the company's assets.

There's not even a need to do that, since the remaining 70% isn't in one person's hands.

But 20% is different; it provides a lot of room for maneuver. Just like when negotiating with the old Dio, Emerald arranged to meet Himeko at the right time and gave the train 5% of the shares in front of the old Dio.

All of this was to reduce the pressure on the family.

The company doesn't want Pinocchio to just collapse like this. The original border prison has already developed to this extent. It would be a waste to just take it back and use it as a prison again.

However, these disputes will not affect the train.

"Hey! So, Kiana, you really have become a shareholder of Pinocchio!"

Congratulations!

However, this made Kiana feel even more that everything was still in a dream.

The meeting that determined Pinocchio's future direction also ended at an extremely fast pace.

Almost without controversy, the representatives are: the old emperor of the family, the jade one of the ten people who represented the company, and the navigator Himeko.

Because all matters and the distribution of benefits had already been discussed in advance, this formal meeting, which everyone believed would determine the future of Pinocchio, was just a formality.

Now, all that remains is to wait for the Harmony Ceremony to begin.

"You guys go have some fun first, it's time to relax."

As Kiana heard Himeko say those words, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had seen this scene before.

It wasn't until March 7th spoke that Kiana understood why she had this inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Stop saying that. You said the same thing when you first came to Pinocchio, and you still encountered all the problems you were supposed to. Himeko-nee, did you catch Kiana's bad habit?"

"No, what does this have to do with me? I didn't do anything."

Kiana was inexplicably dragged into the mess and unfairly blamed, ruining her good mood.

Kiana, feeling somewhat resigned, started making faces.

"Explode, world!"

"Don't suddenly say such dangerous things!"

March 7th quickly pulled Kiana away, afraid that Kiana might say something strange again.

Kiana, who was being dragged away by March 7, said, "Don't worry, the world won't explode no matter what, at most it'll be the Pinocchio that explodes."

"Don't blow it up!"

"I was just saying it offhand, how could it actually explode?"

"Don't say it!"

"I..."

"No, you can't!"

"..."

"I like you."

“No…”

March 7th's face suddenly turned red, like a cherry blossom in its first bloom, shy and charming.

If this were an anime, perhaps a "peng!" sound effect should be added at this moment, and smoke should also be coming out of her head.

"What are you saying all of a sudden?!"

"I'm serious, doesn't Little March like me?"

"Waaah, Qibao is teasing me."

"Alright, let's go, let's go on the boat and see if there's anything fun to do."

"Ah."

In March, Wu Qi responded to Qi Yana with a barely audible nasal tone, took Qi Yana's hand, and the two walked forward.

Xing was left completely bewildered.

"Huh? What about me?"

Xing looked left and right, but in the end, she didn't follow the two who left. Instead, she wandered around by herself.

"Hmph...Hmph!"

"Hey, where did this ingredient come from?"

Kiana, seeing the "pig" that had come up next to her, knew it wasn't food but a dimensional piggy bank, but still teased it with a mischievous grin.

Having grabbed its round body, Kiana's expression grew increasingly pleased as she watched its somewhat frightened yet helpless little face.

"Little March, I'm amazing at grilling meat, let's have roast suckling pig today!"

"Hum! Hum!"

Upon hearing Kiana's words, the Dimensional Piggy Bank, which Kiana was holding, struggled even more fiercely.

"Pull-ups are interdimensional creatures lost among the stars. They are warm in nature, sweet in taste, and inedible."

"Hmm, why are you suddenly starting to explain science?"

As a creature that spends most of its life eating and running away, even the robin, who is doing science popularization, doesn't understand why this dimensional piggy bank, which is shaking like this, doesn't use its own talent to escape.

March 7 stared at the Dimensional Piggy Bank in Kiana's arms for a long time. The golden patterns and its smaller size compared to other piggy banks seemed somewhat familiar.

"Ah, isn't this the accounts?"

Hearing someone call her name, Zhang Zhang quickly looked over and recognized an acquaintance. She immediately spoke up, trying to get help.

"Hum! Hum!"

It's clear that Zhang Zhang is in a great hurry, but there's no use in being anxious, as March 7th can't understand what Zhang Zhang is saying at all.

"The synesthetic beacon can't translate the piggy bank's voice. Zhang Zhang, if you're thinking of asking me for help, just nod."

"Hum! Hum!"

Zhang Zhang became even more agitated, struggling desperately in Kiana's arms, but to no avail.

"Eh, so that's not what you mean?"

"Hum! Hum!"

Zhang Zhang was about to curse. Look at me, being held so tightly, do you think I look like I can nod?

If I could nod and move my body, would I have been caught by this wicked woman who wanted to eat me and couldn't escape?

"Hum! Hum!"

Waaaaah, Master, help! Someone here wants to eat me!

"Perhaps, Zhangzhang is trying to show you how close she is?"
