Starry Sky Railway: Starting with a furious outburst at Aha

Chapter 41 Jepard's Mysterious Whereabouts

Unsurprisingly, Nanuk did not respond.

Unexpectedly, Aha seemed to have heard it, and Zhou Yuan felt his power decrease.

It was a strange feeling, like a full stomach suddenly having a portion of its contents emptied.

What the heck?! Wasn't I supposed to spread "gospel" throughout the universe? Doesn't this count?

Or is it that even if I convert to denominationalism, it's not allowed?

This outrageous phenomenon made Zhou Yuan suspect that Aha was watching him with countless eyes, adjusting the power of destiny within him according to his mood.

"I...Aha I..." Zhou Yuan pointed to the sky and the ground, but in the end, he didn't utter the word "national essence".

No, no, I still have to fight the boss, I have to hold back.

To avoid any further accidents, Zhou Yuan simply put on a suit and stopped trying to do anything.

With tomorrow's plans mostly sorted out, Zhou Yuan picked up his phone and started scrolling through short videos with Tong Xing. Time flew by.

At 6 PM Belloberg time, Zhou Yuan's phone popped up with a message from Dr. Juejue.

Digging and digging: "Urgent help needed! Urgent help needed! Brother Zhou!"

Upon seeing this message, Zhou Yuan sat up abruptly in bed.

Zhou Yuan: "What happened?"

Digging and digging: "My main structure is complete, but I'm still missing some materials."

Zhou Yuan: "What materials?"

Digging and digging: "I need two miniature gyroscopes, a welding torch, two one-meter steel pipes and a wire saw, a head-mounted display..."

"Once I get the materials, I can build the control system within an hour."

Zhou Yuan didn't ask any further questions and typed, "No problem, wait for me."

Since he trusted him, he should offer his support as much as possible. Zhou Yuan immediately stood up, put on his hat, and prepared to leave.

"Um... are you coming back for dinner tonight?" Xing asked.

"Probably not," Zhou Yuan looked at her strangely, "Why would you ask that question?"

"Hehe, I've seen people ask that in the show."

Seeing her silly look, Zhou Yuan suddenly found it a bit funny: "You might as well play more games, at least that would increase your strength."

"It makes me angry just thinking about it. Every time I reach 1,000 points, it gets stuck, which means I can only reach a maximum of 1,000 points. It was okay at first, but it got really annoying later on."

"What you can't have always seems more alluring," Zhou Yuan commented, putting on his mask and leaving the hotel room.

If you need mechanical materials, Schwarzlo is the most convenient option.

Thanks to his outstanding abilities, Zhou Yuan did not spend any coins and successfully obtained all the necessary materials in the mechanical settlement, and then reached the upper zone via the furnace core hub.

For some reason, the number of Iron Guards near the upper furnace core hub increased significantly, and Zhou Yuan waited for quite a while before finding an opportunity to slip out.

He strolled through Place Belloberg, waiting for an opportunity to leave the city.

It was already 7 p.m., and the sky in Belleburg had darkened. The square was sparsely populated, making Zhou Yuan's figure stand out conspicuously.

Just as Zhou Yuan had finally waited for the guards to relax and was about to leap out of the city, a handsome man with short blond hair, wearing blue and white iron armor, approached him.

"Sir, what are you doing here?"

Damn, Jepard!

The moment Zhou Yuan saw him, his first instinct was to run away. The large bag on his back was far too conspicuous; if he couldn't explain himself clearly, he would almost certainly be arrested.

Although he himself was not afraid, this might lead to an earlier war, adding unnecessary variables, which would be detrimental in every way, and Zhou Yuan naturally did not want such a thing to happen.

In this critical moment, Zhou Yuan's mind raced. He stood still, removed his top hat, bowed, and said calmly:

"It's Commander Jepard, hello."

“Do you know me?” Jepard asked.

“Yes,” Zhou Yuan smiled and pointed to the backpack, “Your sister and I are business partners, and she has mentioned you to me.”

“Please open your backpack so I can check it,” Jepard said sternly. “Everyone knows the current situation, please understand.”

"Understood, understood." Zhou Yuan smiled and unzipped his backpack, revealing all the mechanical parts inside.

Given the context of the trade with Silva, it's not surprising that these items appeared in the bag.

Sure enough, Jepard only glanced at it a few times before looking away. He saluted and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. Could you please tell me your name so I can verify it?"

Considering that his real name might have already been exposed by Xing and the others, Zhou Yuan thought of a name that Hilva would recognize: "We use code names for our transactions. I'll call myself 'Earn Three Million in a Day'."

"What a... nice name."

Upon hearing this, Jepard saluted again, and without contacting Hilva, slowly walked away and disappeared around the corner.

Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, found another corner, and took advantage of the absence of people to leap out of the city and head towards Yongdong Ridge.

However, Zhou Yuan did not notice that after he jumped out of the city, a head peeked out from around the corner behind him; it was Jepard.

"It's really him."

Jepard stared in the direction Zhou Yuan had left, pondered for a moment, and then followed Zhou Yuan out of Belleburg.

Zhou Yuan skipped along the way and arrived at the foot of Yongdong Ridge, where he immediately saw the mountain-like Creation Engine.

Seeing it again still stirred Zhou Yuan's emotions.

"Baby, wait, I'll get you moving tomorrow!"

As he spoke, Zhou Yuan stepped forward, lifted the "skull" of the treasure, and went inside.

The space was still cramped, but it didn't look cluttered. Dr. Digger even straightened out the tangled wires.

"Zhou Yuan, you're finally here." Dr. Juejue said with delight when he saw Zhou Yuan come in carrying a big bag.

"Well, hopefully it's not too late." Zhou Yuan laid out all the materials from his bag. "Here you go."

Looking at the materials before him, which could be described as brand new, Dr. Digger's face was filled with joy that he could hardly hide:

"Great! Great!"

His eyes were bloodshot, looking particularly frightening with their redness.

Zhou Yuan took out the food from the bottom of his backpack and handed it to him:

"Can we finish today? I'll take you home for a good night's sleep later; you're not feeling well right now."

"When will you drive it?" Dr. Digger asked.

"tomorrow."

"Then I won't go back!" Dr. Digger shook his head excitedly, "I can hold on for at least two more days in this condition."

"I'll wait for you here. I...I want to watch you drive it with my own eyes!"

“...Okay.” Zhou Yuan patted him on the shoulder.

"Take care of yourself. It's best to rest after you're done. I'll call you when it's time."

"Ok."

After closing the entrance to the creation engine head again, Zhou Yuan glanced once more in the direction of the star core.

"Finally, it's coming to an end."

......

After rushing back to the lower level, it was already past 8 p.m. Zhou Yuan chatted with the pioneers for a while and shared the game "Potato Brothers" with Dan Heng, who was also on a path of destruction.

However, Danheng still did not improve his strength when he reached a score of one thousand, so this method became Xing's unique martial arts secret.

Just as Zhou Yuan finished washing up and was about to rest, he saw a message from Sang Bo that he had sent half an hour earlier.

"Good bro, I got the consciousness-blocking device. I'll be waiting for you in the alley next to the clinic. See you there!"

He hadn't even noticed the message... Although a considerable amount of time had passed, considering the importance of the consciousness shield, Zhou Yuan still decided to wear the mask and head to the designated location.

From a distance, Zhou Yuan saw Sang Bo standing furtively in the corner. Just as he was about to go up and greet him, a figure dressed in a black robe approached Sang Bo.

Under the dim light of the earth lamp, Zhou Yuan could vaguely see the man's face through the hood, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Jepard!! What's he doing here?!"
