Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

That's right. Often, differing viewpoints don't necessarily mean one is right or wrong—but to keep work moving forward and prevent it from stalling, there's usually only one way...

As he spoke, Topa opened his phone and looked at it carefully, as if he had received some news, and then nodded in satisfaction.

The above reply has been approved.

[The request for permission to launch a special attack on the Star Train members has been approved!]

For some reason, the audience's emotions were ignited by this sentence, and they began to get excited.

The story then transitions into a performance, where Toppa slowly moves forward, with Zhang Zhang following behind.

The secret to a smooth career path... is to always be prepared to turn the tide in unfavorable situations.

Go ahead, Zhang Zhang!

The Dimensional Piggy Bank flew away at Toppa's command, creating several golden tornadoes in the air!

As the tornado dissipated, a large number of well-armed corporate troops were seen falling from it – this was the power of the Dimensional Piggy Bank!

The project I'm in charge of—cannot afford any mistakes!

The audience gasped in amazement at the cool scene.

"Wow, is he really that handsome?"

"It's a spatial teleportation device from a dimensional piggy bank!"

"So that's how you use the account book! You can even instantly produce troops!"

The screen shatters, and the battle begins, with the player engaging in combat against a large number of company troops.

After successfully defeating his opponent, Topa even applauded.

[These guys truly deserve to be called the aces of the Star Train! Absolutely brilliant!]

[That's enough for the warm-up, shall we? Now it's my turn—]

Just when the audience thought Toppa was about to make a move, a voice interrupted them.

[Stop—stop! Everyone, please put down your weapons!]

Bronya arrived in time to prevent the conflict from escalating further, which saddened many eagerly awaiting viewers.

"Oh no—why did it stop?!"

"Bronya, shut up! Don't ruin my plans!"

"I'm going to fight Stoneheart Ten - Toppa right now!"

"Topa: That was close, I almost made it to the weekly round!"

Seeing Topana preparing to take out the foundation stone, Sand Gold couldn't help but look at Topana beside him and smiled amusedly.

"You're really putting in a lot of effort for this planet, even preparing to dig out the foundation stones. If this causes a rift with the Star Train, your project evaluation might be even worse than it is now, right?"

It's really not worth fighting with the Nameless One just for the sake of a business deal involving a single planet.

If they fail to secure the win against Yalilo-VI after making a move, like they have now, then Toppa will likely be relegated, and might even be kicked out of the Stoneheart Ten.

After all, diamonds value results the most.

Upon hearing this, Toppa rolled his eyes at Sand Gold.

"How dare you say that about me? Pinocchio's previous operation involved a direct bet on three cornerstones. In terms of effort, I can't compare to you."

Let's get back to the story.

Bronya only arrived now because she had something even more important than signing the contract.

I would like to ask you to help evaluate our current results.

I have read your letter word for word, Miss Toppa. I feel deep sympathy for your childhood experiences.

Because your hometown experienced a similar catastrophe to Yalilo-VI, I can understand your perspective and the stance you've chosen.

It is precisely because of this empathy that I still hold onto a sliver of hope—that even after all these unpleasant experiences, I believe we can still reach a consensus... through peaceful means.

With a sincere tone and a firm yet gentle gaze, Bronya stepped forward, showcasing her charismatic presence as the leader of Belloberg.

Topa was also persuaded by Bronya to temporarily cease hostilities and accompany her to see what it was.

After a arduous journey, they arrived at the location of the Creation Engine.

The enormous creation engine immediately caught Toppa's attention, where engineers were seen coming and going below, inspecting and repairing it.

Look, the people of Belleburg haven't given up yet...

In the image, Bronya and Topa stand facing each other, one on each side.

Golden sunlight streamed through the gaps, illuminating Bronya and the creation engine behind her.

I just want to fight for them, to give them a chance.

Only now did Topa show surprise, because this enormous creation engine was not mentioned in her research report at all.

The reason is that the creation engine was built entirely by the Beloborgs themselves, without relying on any external technology.

The first High Guardian, Alisa Rand, spearheaded this project, and while warriors fought valiantly on the front lines, engineers worked day and night in the rear to design and build it.

And its function extends beyond being a weapon of war.

[Alissa Rand's vision was longer than anyone else's; for a long time, this machine was codenamed the Geological Modification Engineering Unit.]

Its true mission is to help the people of Beloborg rebuild their home after driving out all enemies who attempt to harm this world—to restore the world to its former glory.

The vision of this first Great Guardian and the contributions he made to future generations have earned him the admiration of the audience.

"Wow, so this thing was developed independently?"

"Geological modification project unit, this is the hope left by the leader!"

"By personally laying the foundation for future generations, Alisa Rand's value continues to rise!"

"This is reinforcements for the future!"

Chapter 174 The Reputation of All the Nameless Guests

Even Toppa couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he saw this creation engine.

The concept of long-term development transcends time and even lifetimes; that Ms. Rand was truly a great woman.

And this Rand before me... is no less impressive.

Bronya explained in response to Topa's praise.

Thank you for your agreement, but I didn't actually do anything.

[I simply gathered the people of Belloberg together and told them that our hard-won freedom is once again under tremendous threat.]

To preserve this freedom, we must take action and prove to those who doubt us that we have the will and the ability to control our own destiny.

This situation was something Toppa could never have predicted.

Because her hometown had never had a leader with such foresight, nor did it possess a legacy like the "Creation Engine" to leave for future generations.

Ultimately, after careful consideration, Toppa chose to help Belloberg secure this opportunity.

I made a serious mistake by conflating your situation with my own childhood experiences.

[My hometown lacked a leader with unwavering resolve, and people gave up on the idea of ​​self-preservation long ago, while your civilization has persevered through wind and snow for 700 years...truly admirable.]

Seeing that Toppa agreed, Bronya quickly said that Bellberg would definitely pay off the debt, but it would just take time.

But now, acquiring Ariello-VI is a strategic decision approved by the company's top management, and Toppa is finding it difficult to persuade them.

【unless...】

At this moment, the camera focused on Himeko's back view with her crimson hair.

Himeko also stepped forward.

"Rest assured, Miss Topa. I am willing to stake the reputation of all the nameless passengers on the Star Train for this world."

"It has appeared; it's the ability to give me face!"

"We've found the right person! As the one who restarted the train, Himeko is the most qualified to vouch for us!"

"This is really serious. If Bellberg doesn't pay back the money, the nameless man's reputation, while not completely ruined, will certainly be tarnished!"

"The reputation of all the nameless ones, doesn't that include Ahab as well?"

"Yes, kids, I have no objection!"

Seeing Himeko step forward, Topa felt relieved.

Great! This should work. Now, let's move on to the reporting process and any potential accountability...

"...I'll take on this responsibility."

Seeing Toppa choose to take full responsibility for the consequences, the audience realized the effort she had put in.

"Waaaah, I'm only just realizing how wonderful Director Toppa is!"

"I'm grateful to the beautiful and kind-hearted person!"

"Seriously, if it were anyone else in the company, they would have already finished their violent suppression and started popping champagne by now!"

"Will Toppa get his salary docked next?"

"KPI! Time to run away!"

In the subsequent conversation, Topa said he didn't care.

"Let them deduct it. Anyway, I'm way past the stage of working purely for money."

When the train crew returned to the Goethe Hotel to rest, the scene cut to a snowy plain.

A burst of electronic mixed sound rang out, and Toppa was receiving his punishment through his headphones.

In conclusion, Toppa, the department will take the following disciplinary action against you:

[Your job level has been downgraded from P45 to P44, with a corresponding adjustment to your base salary; all reward programs you participated in during this period, including stock options and performance bonuses, have been cancelled.]

Regarding this incident, you need to submit an additional report to Diamond. If you have any objections to the penalty, you can also appeal in writing.

The demotion and the cancellation of bonuses are not particularly severe penalties overall, considering that the company had little expectation of dealing with such a bad debt to begin with.

Just when the audience thought the story was about to end, a voice came from the other end of the earpiece after the meeting had ended.

[Wow, not bad luck. You messed up such a project, but you only got demoted one level. Looks like the higher-ups are looking out for you. Oh, they've all logged off, huh? Well—]

I'm just turning this crappy effects off.

As he spoke, the electronic synthesized voice on the other end of the earphones changed into a male voice.

Gold dust? What are you still doing here?

These words immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

"Gold Sand, isn't that also one of the ten Stone Heart members?"

Wow, that voice is so nice! I wonder if it's a character I can pull later!

"Now we're waiting for the first day of placer gold!"

On the other side, Sand Gold smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this scene.

"It's really amazing to hear my own voice appear. I wonder what kind of technology the other party used to record it. It would definitely be a hit on interstellar media."

In the storyline, Sand Gold responded jokingly.

[What are you saying? I can't be here? Why are you so dismissive? I'm not your superior... oh wait, I guess I am now? Haha, my apologies, I haven't gotten used to it yet!]

This time, after the meeting, he specifically sought out Toppa. Naturally, it wasn't just for casual conversation; they immediately got down to business.

[While you were playing the friend game in Yalilo-VI, Diamond managed to win over the bigwig in the building materials logistics department, and that's why he's absent from today's roundtable meeting.]

Upon hearing this, Topa realized who the bigwig in the building materials logistics department was.

[Taravan?]

[Yes, the infamous Taravan, a member of the seven-member board! His vote is on us, understand? We, not the marketing department. Oswald won't be laughing this time!]

[However... Toppa, diamonds are a benefactor to both of us. On such an important day, your sudden appearance like this makes things a bit difficult for the strategic investment department to explain, doesn't it?]

Topa did not deny the claim that the gold was placer.
