Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 423 Company Headquarters: Relying on

For Xing, Scott is a very peculiar "electronic pet". Every time they meet, there are new ways to play. Whether it's unlocking dog barks or pig noises, it can make her laugh out loud.

To the rest of the company, Scott was the kind of person who had some ability but not much, and some skill but was so dirty-minded that the leaders were unwilling to promote him. After all, nobody wants to be stabbed in the back at a crucial moment, right?

For Yunzhi, Scott was someone she didn't need to care about.

Although he had appreciated the anthropomorphism of this person up close in Luofu last time, and had also lamented his excessive lone wolf behavior...

But that doesn't mean he'll treat Scott like a source of amusement, just like Xing does.

Especially... at times like this.

Having agreed to form an alliance to handle the Holy Grail War, Potio, Sandgold, and Archer soon arrived at Cloud's Movie Park.

Perhaps because of the Holy Grail War, the place has been cleared out, and there are hardly any tourists.

There are a few camera positions nearby that look like human-machine interfaces; you don't need to worry about them.

However, when they arrived, they did not see any stars.

"Where did Xing go?"

Potio looked around but didn't see anyone he recognized, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Could it be that someone beat us to it and killed her and her Servants before we arrived?"

Archer crossed his arms: "Excuse my bluntness, but if someone can easily defeat that Saber, then none of us standing here will be able to put up a fight."

Sasana maintained her smile: "Maybe they haven't arrived yet, but that's not necessarily true. The [Exploration]'s boundary anchoring is much faster than us running on foot."

Sand Gold sighed, "Could it be that she's become wary of me? Sister, how can I be friends with her now?"

"It's all because you scared someone too much back then, silly child."

Sasana rubbed Sand Gold's head: "Don't do that again, do you hear me?"

"Okay, sister."

Let's talk about it another time.

"However, it's clear that we've been scammed, right?"

Sand Gold looked ahead: "Impersonating someone to send us messages isn't exactly a rare occurrence. Guess who's managed to scam the followers of [Hunting]?"

Sasana had somehow produced a short knife.

"Although it's not some deep-seated hatred, I was still scammed."

By the Emperor's Bow, your people have been deceived and naturally seek revenge.

"So you'd better come out quickly, or I'll drag you out and my knife will tear your throat open without hesitation."

Sasana's smile was menacing.

The gold dust trembled.

Potio gave a soft "hiss" and his hand was already gripping the muzzle of the gun.

As soon as Sasana finished speaking, two other people appeared out of thin air in front of them.

"Wow, what a boastful tone! Tear my throat open? Miss, you're incredibly arrogant, you've scared me half to death..."

The company employee wearing sunglasses spoke with considerable arrogance.

However, upon seeing this familiar creature, Sasana's first reaction was...

Cover your nose and take three steps back.

"Oh my god, my dear brother, don't tell me this is also one of your opponents... Uh, that's terrifying."

Not that she was saying anything, but Sasana was really impressed by Scott's public display of vomiting in Xianzhou Luofu last time.

The memory was so vivid that when she thought of that guy, all she could think of was excrement, and she could almost smell that horrible odor.

Sand Gold blinked and took two steps back, blocking Sasana's path.

"Okay, if it's you... that's certainly memorable. Hey, friend, stay away from him. Last time he fought a novice swordsman in Luofu, and he got knocked out (beep)."

Scott's face visibly flushed red.

Potio's eyes widened in surprise: "Sasha, so the one you were talking about who took a dump during the match is this little cutie?"

Archer: ...The diversity of species in this world?

Sand Gold continued laughing, "It's definitely him. If a fight breaks out and this guy starts making noises in public again, wouldn't all my gear be ruined?"

Sasana was so frightened that she pulled her younger brother back repeatedly, saying, "No way! This outfit of mine was custom-made, and I'm very satisfied with it."

They went back and forth, and Scott mocked them until their faces turned red, and they looked like a pufferfish, puffing up in anger.

It's actually quite fun.

"Shut up!"

He stomped his foot in anger:

"You guys never take us low-level employees seriously! You sent me to a desolate place like Xianzhou with a single sentence, and then transferred me to Pinocchio with another. I thought this would be a great job..."

He kept complaining, clearly not having a good time in Luofu.

However, the people in front of him all glanced behind him.

Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

"Hey, you little cutie, you'd better shut your mouth."

Potio gave a particularly curt reminder.

"ha?"

Scott looked puzzled.

Sand Gold silently raised his hand and waved: "I'm also a member of the Immortal Ship. You'd better apologize quickly, or you'll be the one who suffers."

While seemingly trying to persuade this guy to turn over a new leaf, they were actually subtly stirring things up.

"So what? You have no idea what kind of life I lead in the Immortal Ship! If I want to do business, I have to go through a whole bunch of messy procedures, just to prevent us from stealing their technology. If I want to buy something, I run into some nosy bastard. Even when I'm trying to collect a debt, that gray-haired guy gets in my way. It's infuriating..."

Once Scott started talking, he couldn't stop, and his rant left the people opposite him speechless.

Potio looked on in astonishment:

"It's rare to see someone so ungrateful..."

He let out a sigh.

Sasana looked past Scott and towards what was behind him.

Scott's Servant, an Assassin, had already sensed something was wrong. He glanced back, then silently turned back.

—I dare not open my eyes, hoping it's just my imagination…

Scott was speaking with great enthusiasm.

Suddenly, a sinister voice eerily interrupted—

"That desolate place, like the Immortal Ship?"

"That's right, those guys who owe money and then tell me to bark like dogs are truly uncultured and uneducated, raised in an uncivilized place..."

Thump—thump—

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly kicked from behind.

The kick was extremely powerful; he was airborne before he could even react.

Until it hit the wall.

He was in so much pain he was completely disoriented.

"That desolate place, like the Immortal Ship?"

Scott struggled to lift his head.

He saw a figure that could instill fear in everyone appear before him without him noticing.

His thin lips parted slightly, his tone tinged with amusement:

"It's quite an honor that our Xianzhou, such a wild and undeveloped place, would send people here even though the Labor Market Development Department is racking its brains, right?"

Behind Yunzhi, pairs of eyes glowing red appeared.

Scott's mind, corrupted by the Holy Grail, instantly cleared.

"No, no, no... No, Lord Zhenjun, I... I was just... I was complaining about our company's leaders, yes, I was complaining about the leaders."

Scott's mind raced, and he quickly attributed his earlier slip of the tongue to his superior:

"Well, you know, after working for a long time, you always have to complain about how your boss is inhumane. It's just that sometimes you say things without thinking. Actually, I really like Xianzhou. I'll never forget the local customs and culture of Xianzhou. I...I...I really love Xianzhou's tea and fantasy plays..."

No wonder the company hasn't fired Scott after so many times. Look how skilled he is at making excuses.

"You can't complain about your boss in front of him, and you definitely can't let the person you're criticizing know about it."

Yun stepped back a few paces to make room for his menacing comrades behind him.

Scott watched helplessly as a large group of figures approached him, appearing small, pitiful, and helpless in the darkness.

Yunzhi gently comforted him:

"Don't be afraid, this is a dream, you won't die."

The teammates behind him swarmed forward and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks.

Potio and Sasana quietly moved closer and joined in the beating.

Amidst Scott's Tom Cat-like wailing, Yun remained calm and maintained a polite smile.

"After all, even if my Immortal Ship Alliance is a barbaric land, it is still better than your Pierpoint ruins that are about to collapse again after only a few days of repairs."

Lan silently turned her head and looked in another direction.

—Oh dear, this door is really something.

—Oh my, this flower bed is really a flower bed.

—Oh dear, I just witnessed another world descended into chaos due to the apothecary's unrestrained bestowal of blessings…

—Oops, another innocent planet has been affected by accident, but at least it didn't explode, so they still came out ahead.
