Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 303 The Ether Front Begins!

Although I sensed something unusual when I visited Origami University last time.

Hanabi actually did remind her, otherwise she wouldn't have casually mentioned that "Professor Genius loves bananas."

But Yunzhi ignored it.

Just kidding, if he were to manage everything, wouldn't he be overwhelmed with work?

Anyway, if something really happens, someone will handle it.

Everything happened so naturally.

Let's talk to him again when Pinocchio is really going to go under. At that time, Yunzhi will still help him for the sake of his shares.

Yunzhi spent some time making some changes to her room—basically, she just put more things in, since Lan... was going to live there.

Judging from Lan's expression, it seemed like he wanted to throw his bookshelf away.

That's absolutely unacceptable. Those books are valuable items he collected; he not only read them but also took notes on them. Even if he were to sell them later...

Forget it, I'm not one of those geniuses who are admired by everyone, so what I write probably won't be very popular either.

The room was tidied up, the bathroom was renovated, and from the outside, it looked like an ordinary train carriage. In fact...

It's a hidden paradise inside.

With the help of spatial folding technology and inexhaustible power, clouds can be created at will.

After he had finished taking care of everything, Xingbao knocked on his door.

Yun stopped working, opened the car door, and saw the gray raccoon looking at him with bright eyes.

"Is there something you need?"

Yun asked, somewhat amused.

The little gray-haired boy looked on with anticipation:

"Zhi, do you know about 'Ether Front'?"

Ether Front? Oh, I seem to remember that…

Yunzhi remembers first hearing this word from Aha.

Wasn't Belloberg's debt problem supposed to be serious? Although Yunzhi gave them a way out, they still have to repay the money.

The company booked the weapons testing ground in the lower part of Belleburg as the venue for the finals of the Etherfront.

...I was still preparing before going to Pinocchio, are you ready now?

Perhaps because so much had happened at Pinocchio, Yun was still a little dazed when she heard the news.

I almost thought the game was canceled.

However, he did remember that this year's... uh, what was it called? The Interstellar Duel Celebration, which was apparently fully sponsored by a Masked Fool.

"If you're talking about that company game, then I understand. You're going to participate?"

As Yun Zhi pondered this, she asked a question.

Xing nodded in agreement: "Yeah, a colleague at the company named Wilder sent me an invitation. Zhi, do you want to come along?"

"Ah, that sounds good, it's not a bad idea..."

Yunzhi considered it very seriously.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Lan, who was sitting on the sofa in the room, holding a cloud cake.

Lan: ?

Yunzhi: (＾v＾)

When Ahha said he wanted to be his ethereal spirit, Yunzhi was worried that Ahha would scare someone to death.

But now, something's changed inside me, and I just can't help it...

I really want a Lan that I can put in my pocket!

"Star, go ask March if she wants to come along."

Yunzhi suddenly made a decision, clapped her hands, looked at Xing, and told her to go and check on March 7th.

Xing nodded immediately: "Then I'll go and anchor in the realm first?"

"Go ahead, we'll be there soon."

The clouds let the stars go first.

Xingxing ran off excitedly.

Lan put down the Cloud Cake, ignoring Lan Cake who was fiercely biting his pants, and stood up.

Are you going to participate in any activity?

Etherfront? That sounds pretty cool.

"One of the company's games uses the company's ether copying technology to record the creatures it sees in ether coins, then prints them out and battles against other players."

Yun's simple explanation: "It's just a card game, but the difference is that the cards here are three-dimensional."

Ether Spirit Battles are not a new game. Yunzhi is not very interested in them, but he is not so ignorant as to know nothing about them either.

—Because these interstellar activities, as long as they're not the kind that's just for personal enjoyment, will generally involve a "significant gesture" from him.

When you can't find it, just let it be; once you're on the train, your goal becomes clear immediately.

Therefore, Cloud has several blank Ether coins, which he can use to record the creatures he has ever seen.

Given that I'm going to a competition soon, there's no doubt that the first creature in Cloud Record is Storm... the youth version.

It's not the Star God version, but it's definitely good enough.

The golden ether coin was tossed and dropped in Yun Zhi's hand. Yun Zhi smiled and said, "I wonder what they would think if we actually tossed a coin during the competition."

Lan looked at the Ethereum coins.

—It was held in the palm of its hand.

Lan felt a little excited.

"Let's pack up and get going, Arashi."

The clouds beckon.

Lan smiled and followed her out.

Completely unaware, a wisp of [Pleasure] power sneaked into Yunzhi's pocket and mixed into an empty Ether coin.

----------------

Xinghe and March 7th went ahead and arrived at the arena of the Interstellar Victory Celebration, which is the weapons testing ground in the lower city of Beloborg.

There is a lot of readily available equipment there, which, although many years have passed, is well preserved and still functional.

It's an ideal and cost-effective venue for the finals.

The two girls learned how to play Ether Frontier here and obtained the initial Ether Spirit. After registering, they had to travel to various parts of the universe to challenge other players, level up, and finally participate in the finals.

And their first Ether Spirit... was a Dimensional Piggy Bank.

It's so cute and I don't know who its owner is, so I'll just keep it.

Xing couldn't even wait for Yunzhi, and hurriedly dragged March 7th to various corners to find more Ether Spirits and upgrade along the way.

Not long after they left, Yunzhi and Lan leisurely arrived here.

However, since no one was there to guide them, Yunzhi decided to ask someone about the next steps first.

His gaze swept around.

"Hey, Mr. Fool over there."

Yun Zhi stepped forward and patted the masked child on the shoulder:

"I am Yunzhi, and I would like to inquire about the specific procedures for participating in the Ether Front."

"Do me a favor, kid."

Giovanni the Masked Fool, the exclusive sponsor of the Etherfront Interstellar Victory Celebration: ...

This incredible wealth suddenly fell into my lap?
