Star Rail, My Little Shop on the Train 69

Chapter 69, Emerald: Clara, Big Sister’s Here

Emerald called over a Star Interstellar Peace Company employee.

“Bring the gift I brought.”

The employee immediately ran to the back, retrieved a book, and handed it to Clara.

Emerald walked in front of Clara and gave her the book.

“Here, Clara, this is a gift from big sister.”

Clara took the book, her face lighting up upon seeing the title. She’d been searching for this book for a long time on her phone’s shopping app without success.

“Thank you, big sister, Clara likes it very much.”

Emerald smiled gently.

“I’m glad you like it.”

Emerald glanced towards Towerpa, who had already begun negotiations with Ye Yun. Emerald pondered for a moment.

“Clara, can you take me to see where you live?”

Clara readily agreed, leading Emerald towards the mechanical settlement.

Seeing this, Ji Zi followed. Ji Zi had heard of Emerald’s reputation; the Stone Heart Ten weren’t just any ordinary people.

Half an hour later, Clara brought Emerald to the mechanical settlement.

Upon returning, they saw Swaro waiting for them.

“Welcome home, Clara,” Swaro said.

“Welcome home, Clara,” Family No. also greeted her.

Clara waved happily.

“Mr. Swaro, Family No., Clara is back. This is a big sister Clara knows, her name is Emerald.”

Emerald looked at the two robots with considerable interest.

These two robots were quite interesting; they had already developed their own “personalities.”

“Nice to meet you,” Emerald said.

Swaro looked at Emerald, scanning her up and down.

“Welcome to the Mechanical Settlement.”

After the greeting, Swaro turned to Clara.

“Clara, go rest in your room, I’ll have someone prepare some food.”

Clara smiled happily and agreed.

Then, Clara took Emerald to her room. Clara even called Family No., introducing Family No. like a child reporting their grades to their parents.

Emerald listened attentively, surprised by Clara’s exceptional mechanical talent.

She could already build mechs after only a few days of learning.

Just then, the settlement’s alarm suddenly blared, a piercing sound echoing throughout the mechanical settlement.

Clara and Ji Zi quickly went outside, where they saw Swaro organizing the mechs to move toward the outer perimeter of the mechanical settlement.

Clara hurriedly asked,

“Mr. Swaro, what’s going on?”

Swaro replied,

“A large number of hostile forces have been detected invading the mechanical settlement. I’m organizing the defense.”

At this time, Ji Zi, using binoculars, saw the situation outside the mechanical settlement’s perimeter. Ji Zi frowned.

“The Antimatter Legion!”

Hearing this, Emerald also frowned.

“How did the Antimatter Legion get here?”

Ji Zi pondered for a moment, quickly arriving at the answer.

“These should be the Antimatter Legion previously frozen by the Star Core. Now that the Star Core is sealed, and with Star’s sword strike just now, the Antimatter Legion has been unsealed.”

Emerald sighed; this planet was truly plagued by disaster. Barely had they dealt with the Star Core, and now the Antimatter Legion had arrived.

The two women exchanged glances and then joined the battle. Clara even fired a self-made small handgun.

The number of Antimatter Legion members was too large; the mechs were retreating steadily. Even with Swaro, Ji Zi, and Emerald holding the line, the situation was dire.

Soon, a breach was opened, and a large number of Void beings poured into the settlement.

At that moment, the light on top of Family No.’s head, which was next to Clara, suddenly turned red.

“Kill Mode, Activate!”

Suddenly, Family No. shot forward. Landing, it punched straight through the chest of a Void being, killing it instantly. Surrounding Void soldiers swarmed forward, but Family No. delivered a powerful kick, sending them flying. Family No. moved with incredible agility, madly slaughtering the Void beings.

Ji Zi, witnessing Family No.’s prowess, was utterly baffled. Family No. was a medical robot; how could it possess such immense combat ability? Clara had indeed built it according to the blueprints; the only thing Ji Zi could think of that might have gone wrong was the material Ye Yun had provided.

With Family No.’s addition, the defense line could barely hold.

Soon, reinforcements arrived. Star and several women, riding snowmobiles, brought a large number of Silver Mane Iron Guards.

Star dismounted, drawing the Heavenly Fire Judgment, about to attack, when she was suddenly stopped by March 7th.

“Careful, don’t use that move again.”

Star nodded and charged into the Antimatter Legion with the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Rios strolled across the battlefield, Void beings rapidly approaching him. Rios dismissively glanced at them, then stomped his foot.

“Blazing Inferno!”

A wave of fire spread out from Rios, turning all affected Antimatter Legion members to ashes.

Valter and Dan Heng suddenly joined the battle from the other side. They had just returned from collecting samples, only to find the Antimatter Legion besieging the mechanical settlement. Valter’s Eden Star frantically gathered energy, summoning a small black hole to devour the Antimatter Legion. Dan Heng charged continuously, rushing to help the mechanical settlement’s defenses.

Ye Yun stood on a hillside, observing the battlefield below. Beside him was Broniya.

“What kind of monsters are these?”

At this moment, Towerpa, who had come with them, spoke.

“The Antimatter Legion, underlings of the destructive Star God Nanuk.”

Having said that, Towerpa ordered the company’s employees to join the battle. Yaliluo VI would most likely become company property in the future, and they couldn’t let the Antimatter Legion destroy it.

With everyone’s efforts, the Antimatter Legion besieging the mechanical settlement was completely annihilated.

Everyone gathered together.

Swaro looked at the crowd.

“Thank you all for your help in defending the Mechanical Settlement.”

Star and the others indicated it was nothing, a trivial matter.

Broniya said,

“Mr. Swaro, you don’t need to thank us; we’re family.”

Towerpa said,

“You don’t need to thank me either. I was just protecting company assets.”

Everyone looked at Towerpa in confusion.

“Protecting company assets?” Broniya asked, puzzled.

Towerpa nodded and pulled out his phone, displaying a contract.

“That’s right, protecting company assets.”

Towerpa looked at Broniya and handed her his phone.

“You’re the person in charge here, right? Look at this and you’ll understand.”

Broniya took the phone. After reading the contents, her expression became extremely unpleasant.

“How could this be?”

Star curiously leaned in for a look.

“Wow! So many credits! No! Broniya, do you guys owe the company this much money?”

Broniya shook her head.

“I don’t know; I’ve never heard of this.”

Towerpa said,

“Of course you haven’t heard of it. This is a debt from countless years ago.”

Broniya stared at the string of zeros on the contract, her scalp tingling.
