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

Chapter 349 The Company's Big Hand, So Warm

The whereabouts of Sunday drew the audience's attention, and the robin continued to speak in the story.

[Tonghe needs to find a new direction; only by saying goodbye to the past can we sail towards tomorrow.]

There are no permanent allies, nor permanent enemies. Hopefully, we can both get what we need from this deal.

Of course. We look forward to your performance, and hope to see you again at the celebration.

After leaving the protection of its brother Sunday, the robin did not fall into weakness as people imagined; instead, it began to show its own brilliance.

This seemingly casual conversation actually helped Emerald understand Old Aude's weaknesses beyond his business acumen, while Robin also subtly made a request to Emerald.

That is, to rescue Sunday.

The deal hidden in the conversation went unnoticed by most people; they just vaguely sensed that there was something more to it than met the eye.

When Sunday saw this scene, he naturally understood what was going on.

No wonder the jadeite appeared to release itself back then; it turned out to be... a robin.

Afterwards, Emerald, who had learned of Old Ortega's weakness from the robin, reopened the talks.

Old Emperor also noticed the change in the jade's aura.

[Am I imagining things, ma'am? Your tone of voice is very different from before.]

You have to set a good example for the younger generation. In negotiations, speaking without thinking is never a good habit, is it?

Now, let's be frank. Believe it or not, Otto, you're not the only businessman who has witnessed the transformation of the cosmic market over the past ten Amber Ages.

Emerald, now exuding confidence, resembled a queen at the negotiating table, and the implication of "ten Amber Ages" in her words clearly implied that Emerald herself was the same.

Jade then pointed out that the other party's plan to bypass the company's listing was absolutely impossible, and the company had plenty of ways to deal with it.

Furthermore, Pinocchio could not prevent the company from moving in; at most, it could only delay the move for a while.

After explaining the other party's situation, Jade revealed her trump card.

[Don't forget, Mr. Otti, our company controls the largest propaganda platform in the interstellar space. More than half of the news networks across the universe are our mouthpieces.]

The moment you spread the news of Pinocchio's IPO, trillions of users will simultaneously receive a notification like this:

The family's protection of Pinocone has failed; an accident in the dream may result in permanent brain death.

[Guess how many ways the company could devalue Clovercoins to worthless within twenty-four system hours, based solely on this one piece of news, while the entire galaxy's attention is focused on Pinocchio?]

The open threat emanating from the jade elicited sighs from the audience.

"A decisive blow, unstoppable!"

"That's true, because this protection is actually achieved by leveraging the power of order."

"By the way, how did Jade find out about this?"

"Remember the deal the robin mentioned earlier? Maybe it was mentioned outside the main storyline."

"Huh? Little bird, really?"

"Not necessarily. Jade only said it might happen. Whether this news is true or not is not important. What's important is that if the company wants to smear you, you can't escape it!"

"There's no way around it; dealing with Pinocchio is far too easy for a world-class power."

"If word gets out through the game now, won't Pinocchio be finished anyway?"

"Family: The company's big hand is so warm!"

In this way, Emerald blocked all of Old Aude’s escape routes, and then indicated that the company also needed allies.

Jade then proposed to buy a 30% stake in order to help Pinocchio rebuild and stabilize.

In the end, old Aude could only agree, but before the meeting ended, he still raised a question of his own.

That is, in the concept of destiny, preservation and order are clearly closer, so why would a company cooperate with a family?

Jade also offered an explanation for this.

Credits are the only recognized constant-value currency in interstellar space, and the company has the capability to guarantee that they will never depreciate.

And with each new world joining the credit system, the cause of global peace will be further strengthened until all foreign exchange, capital, and trade are brought under a unified monetary system.

At the heart of all this is Cripper's credit.

Only in this way can the company control everything and offer it to the King of Amber.

Clearly, such an existence cannot coexist with order.

One universe does not need two orders.

Although the audience already had a deep understanding of the company's power, they were still somewhat moved when they heard these words from the company's executives.

"The company is really, really big!"

"Having weathered three major global disasters, only our company has stood firm, building a galactic business empire!"

"This reminds me of the movie 'The Way of Preservation,' which our company's history-building team participated in filming. It was truly a legendary story!"

"Sigh, it's a pity I didn't live in a better era, otherwise I'd be a P36 supervisor by now."

Having successfully persuaded old Emperor Audi, everything else became much easier. Emerald turned around and called out, and Toppa appeared with "Dew".

Approaching them was Himeko from the train crew.

As reported in the news, the next steps were as follows: Star Train accepted the 5% equity transferred from the company and will assist Pinocone's reconstruction efforts while bringing the dream of Star Train to more parts of the world.

However, the premise is that the harmony of Pinocchio must not be distorted again.

And so, the talks came to an end.

With the main task completed, Jade returned the project to Toppa for handling, while she herself planned to pursue her own little hobby on the Huichangshi ship, namely, pawning jade.

However, before that, Toppa asked about the origin of the poison used in the Jadeite meeting.

It wasn't that I found the news, but rather that the news found me. It came from... a girl who cares about a harmonious future.

In exchange, I'll help her with something, but that's a story for another time.

It was at this moment that the audience suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh, it really is a robin! Is it because of Sunday?"

"Protect the world's best little bird siblings!"

"Are they going to send a fleet to storm the execution ground?" This strange image suddenly flashed through my mind.

The perspective then shifted back to the fireflies.

The camera panned across various corners of the Huichangshi ship, revealing the figures of Xing, March 7th, and Danheng.

Firefly also boarded this luxurious airship.

The process of infiltrating was easier than I expected; the family's security was still riddled with loopholes.

[Does a pawnshop, where wishes can be fulfilled through collateral, really exist?]

Seemingly with a goal in mind, Firefly decided to wander around the ship first, and during the process, she happened to spot Star in the distance.

However, she ran too fast and the firefly couldn't keep up, so she could only continue to ask around about the pawnshop.

From the guard, Liu Ying learned the name of Lady Ciyu.

[I think I've heard this name before... Is it Silver Wolf?]

Speaking of which, she disappeared after saying she was going to try out the Genius Club. I wonder if it went smoothly.

Mentioning Silver Wolves and the Genius Club fills the screen with a joyful atmosphere.

"Stop running away! Wolfie, come back here!"

Silver Wolf: We will win!

"If we lose this time, I'm afraid I'll be left in the simulated universe as a toy for the Black Tower!"

"Alright, alright, fast forward to the defeat cutscene!"

Chapter 350 Truly Spirited!

In the story, while strolling around on the Gorilla Stone from the perspective of a firefly, a scene suddenly unfolds.

If I win...

Your treasure chest is mine!

[...Who said I was going to bet with you?]

【I said it! 】

As far as I can remember, this seems to be the first time in the story that we've observed the stars from someone else's perspective.

The energetic voice combined with the serious tone, especially the subtle crooked smile at the corner of his mouth, made the audience sigh.

"Haha, as expected of you, Master!"

"The Trail Blazers performed consistently"

"Okay, very spirited!"

"The divine metal made me laugh!"

Upon seeing Xing's figure, Liu Ying couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

[You look so energetic, just like before.]

"Excuse me, Xing, I need to find Ms. Ciyu first."

This praise, brimming with high emotional intelligence, was completely unexpected by the audience.

"What? Girl, are you just love-struck?!"

"Such a doting tone!"

Passerby: That's crazy! Firefly: That's energetic!

"Is this what they mean by 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'?"

Following the quest instructions, Firefly arrived at the jade pawnshop.

When the firefly introduced himself as Samuel, Emerald had no objection to it, but simply asked what the other party wanted and what he could pay for it.

After a moment of silence, the firefly revealed its wish.

I want to live. I'm willing to risk everything for this wish.

Some of the somber words remind one of the current state of fireflies.

The girl is still plagued by entropy loss, and the other person may disappear at any moment, like a fleeting scene in a sleepless night.

After inquiring and confirming, Jade refused.

Miss Samuel, please leave. I think you don't fully understand the definition of pawning.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying frowned, not understanding why it was different for her.

I can feel your intense will to survive, burning like a raging fire; but you have nothing of equal value to offer as collateral.

Ah...I see.

As expected, the pawnshops that claim to grant wishes through collateral... are just a charade.

Hearing the obvious disappointment in Firefly's voice, Jade couldn't help but turn around and defend herself.

Ultimately, Jade sent Firefly to meet some of her customers. When Firefly returned, Jade would tell them what pawning was and what exactly was missing.

With no other plans, Liuying decided to go and check out the location given to her.

On the way, they saw Xing again. She was standing with Dan Heng in front of a bunch of balloons.

Which one should we destroy?

[One, two, three, four, five... Dan Heng strikes a feint...]

Do not change the lyrics without authorization.

Feeling that the timing wasn't right, Firefly decided to come find him later.

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was just that the Huichangshi shipyard was such a small place.
