Chapter 115: We didn't come to conquer Jarilo-VI, we came for Cooperation!
Supreme Guardian's Office.
Aventurine and Topaz slowly walked up to the desk.
" Miss Bronya, I think we've shown enough sincerity."
Aventurine spread his hands, speaking in a sincere tone.
" Regarding the huge debt left behind by Belobog, we have provided corresponding solutions and given you ample time to consider."
" Now, it's time for you to give us an answer."
In front of the desk. Bronya was intently staring at the screen on her phone.
The content on the screen was none other than gameplay from " Honkai: Star Rail"!
Moreover!
Bronya's game progress wasn't slow.
The scene on the game screen was actually Belobog!
Just then.
Topaz brought up a purple projection screen and swiped it forward.
She sent the contract to Bronya's front.
" As long as you sign this contract, Belobog's future will be guaranteed by the Company."
Bronya looked at the contract.
She was about to say something.
Just then.
The gate of the Qlipoth Fort was opened, and someone suddenly rushed in.
" Bronya! Don't sign it yet!"
" Let me show you this!"
Seele completely ignored Aventurine and Topaz and came to Bronya's side.
Pointing at the screen on the phone, she said, " Bronya, did you see the message I sent you?"
" This is a scene that appeared in the story of that game 'Honkai: Star Rail'!"
" The children from the Underworld coming to the Overworld for the first time, seeing the blue sky for the first time..."
" I've already seen it, Seele," Bronya said calmly.
" Huh?"
" When... when did you see it?"
" Before you recommended this game to me, I had already downloaded 'Honkai: Star Rail' and experienced it myself."
Seele was stunned for a moment.
She said in surprise, " You're surprisingly fast..."
" If it weren't for that guy Sampo telling me, I would have thought this thing called a phone could only be used for remote communication."
Bronya smiled, " No matter what, I am the Supreme Guardian."
" In order for Belobog to connect with the stars as soon as possible, of course, I have to understand these things quickly."
Seele breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been wondering how to explain it to Bronya.
Now it seemed that Bronya was indeed more far-sighted than her.
" I never intended to accept this contract from the beginning."
Bronya gently pushed the contract back.
She stepped down from the desk.
She said to Topaz and Aventurine, " Both of you, I have learned about the position of our Jarilo-VI - this planet - in the universe through 'Honkai: Star Rail'."
" Although that debt is an astronomical figure for us now, we are more willing to repay it with our own hands, with practical actions."
" Belobog's fate should be decided by ourselves."
" This is the home built by the Architects, this is the land protected by Preservation."
Seeing Bronya's resolute attitude.
Aventurine cooperatively clapped for Bronya.
Then.
He looked at Topaz with a gloating expression, " It seems the peaceful agreement method won't work."
" You are the main person in charge of this mission. What do you say?"
" Should we take [ strong measures ]?"
Upon hearing the words [ strong measures ].
Bronya was immediately startled.
And Seele's reaction was even more direct.
She had already pulled out her scythe and shielded Bronya.
Topaz, however, remained calm.
She didn't seem surprised by Bronya's refusal.
Instead, a smile appeared on her face.
She said, " Very good, Miss Bronya."
" I knew I wasn't mistaken about you."
" You are indeed an excellent leader."
" To be honest, if you had signed that contract just now, I would have been very disappointed."
" I've also played 'Honkai: Star Rail' and witnessed the trailblazers' journey on this planet."
" So..."
" I also know what kind of woman the current Supreme Guardian of Belobog - Bronya - is."
" She's indeed just like she's shown in the story."
Bronya was stunned.
She had evidently not anticipated this result.
Seele was too.
Looking at her scythe, she didn't know whether to put it away for a moment.
" Alright, don't be so tense."
" Because this is the second region opened in 'Honkai: Star Rail', the assessed value of this planet is different from before."
" The Company does want to acquire Jarilo-VI, but according to the assessment, I ultimately chose the method of cooperation."
" The Company will invest, helping you with environmental transformation and subsequent project development."
" I'll be direct - "
" The Company wants to turn Jarilo-VI into a tourist resort."
" Not only will the Company bear all development costs, but we can even share technology to help you build Company buildings, commercial districts, etc., on the foundation of having only one city - Belobog."
" The citizens of Belobog can directly choose the generous positions provided by the Company or benefit from tourism development."
" As long as you agree to this cooperation, Belobog's overall material standard of living will increase exponentially in a short period."
" And the leader of Jarilo-VI will still be you, the Supreme Guardian."
What Topaz said left the already somewhat bewildered Bronya even more confused. The change came too quickly!
The difference in choices was earth-shattering!
The previous contract was to merge the planet into the Company.
This cooperation content turned into the Company providing services for free to help Jarilo-VI recover and develop!
Aventurine, on the other hand, showed a look of shock.
" What?! Topaz, did I hear that right?"
" We're not here to acquire, we're here to collaborate?!"
" The higher-ups decided to give Jarilo-VI such good treatment? And you've been hiding it from me!"
" If my hometown had this treatment, I would have chosen to lie flat at home long ago! I wouldn't be here working hard for the Company today."
Bronya knew that the people from the Interastral Peace Company were definitely profit-driven.
Aventurine's exaggerated appearance.
Was likely an act, playing along with Topaz.
The conditions offered this time were indeed tempting.
However...
Bronya took a deep breath, saying, " In that case..."
" I would like to invite both of you to experience this event in 'Honkai: Star Rail' with me."
" It's called [ Everwinter City Museum Ledger of Curiosities ]."
" After watching it, I believe both of you will understand what I mean."
.........
Xianzhou, The Luofu.
Because Dan Heng still had to tour his homeland's scenery and visit old acquaintances with Jing Yuan, Blade, and Jingliu.
The Express Crew had to stay on the Luofu for a while longer.
March 7th dragged Stelle out shopping.
But every time, they were recognized.
They were bothered by crazy fans asking for autographs and photos.
Throughout the entire day, they were occupied dealing with the crazy players.
In the end, they had no choice but to hide in the hotel arranged by the Sky-Faring Commission.
" Phew... Just thinking about it is scary."
" It's more comfortable lying here playing games."
The hotel had an open-air balcony, and March 7th and Stelle each knitted a lounge chair.
They played games while drinking Immortal Delights Tea.
After the version update, there were many new events.
Stelle chose to do the [ Everwinter City Museum Ledger of Curiosities ] quest.
March 7th wanted to complete Bailu's Companion Mission first.
Meanwhile, in the room on the other side.
Old Yang took advantage of the rare free time alone.
He finally logged into his account.
He opened the character panel.
[ Luocha - Imaginary- Abundance ]
Staring at this newly pulled character, Old Yang's gaze slowly became serious.
" I'm still a little uneasy."
" The Companion Mission [ A Knight Stranger ], I must do it carefully myself."
