Sparkle: Pay Up for the Overnight Stay [First Update]

But,

It looks like it works really well.

Suppressing her excitement, Ji Yuan quickly changed her clothes and got out of bed.

It's breakfast time now, and Nguyen Mai has also rushed back.

Jingliu also started eating the food from the space station.

Upon sensing Ji Yuan's arrival, the two women first smiled at Ji Yuan, then looked at each other with a surge of fighting spirit.

However, they were all somewhat pleased with themselves.

"I did that to my student."

Ruan Mei thought to herself.

"Hmph, can you hold him and sleep with him for one night, Ruan Mei?"

Jingliu sneered inwardly.

Looking at this scene, Ji Yuan wondered if he should go back to sleep.

However, Jingliu and Ruan Mei had already discovered him. It was now impossible for Ji Yuan to escape.

Over the next few days, Ji Yuan felt even more tired than he had been on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel.

First, he conducted experiments with Ruan Mei, then he sparred with Jingliu, and even took the time to discuss the space station modification plan with Asta again. In the past day or two, Asta had already obtained tens of billions of Credits from her parents under the pretext of birthday gifts.

This gave Ji Yuan a completely new understanding of her wealth.

In his spare time, he would also discuss hacking techniques with Screwllum and learn mechanical manufacturing modification techniques from Screwllum.

In the field of mechanical repair, Ji Yuan also demonstrated his 'talent'. He could immediately master any mechanical manufacturing and repair as long as Ji Yuan Screwllum explained it to him once.

Seeing this, Screwllum sincerely said, "With this talent, I really want to take you back to Screwllum's Planet."

At the same time, he quietly dodged the long sword that Jingliu had placed at his neck.

Ji Yuan smiled but didn't say anything more.

During these few days of rest, the immortal object that Herta had promised Nguyen Mai was delivered.

Ji Yuan originally wanted to take out the corpse of the Emanator of Abundance directly, but was stopped by Ruan Mei.

"Things should always be done step by step, starting with the most basic things."

She said to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan nodded.

After a few days of rest and recuperation at the space station, the fleet was finally ready to depart.

During this time, Ji Yuan also kept in touch with Tingyun. Hearing her say that there were more and more Fragmentum Monsters underground, Ji Yuan felt that he could not stay any longer.

Then,

After communicating with Topaz, the spaceship took off.

Before parting, Nguyen Mai even took out her laboratory separately and had Herta install it on a Jarilo, intending to conduct experiments there as well.

After all, the final location for constructing the Emanator is on Jarilo -VI. It's best to move all experimental materials and resources there directly.

On the fleet's flagship, seeing the laboratory being housed in a separate spaceship, Topaz felt a heavy weight in his heart.

Ji Yuan and Ruan Mei have both moved their labs here; they're probably going to do more dirty work on the people of Jarilo -VI.

How can we save it?!

Not long after the spaceship began its flight, Ji Yuan and his group encountered a small spaceship.

Upon seeing Ji Yuan's fleet, the small spaceship immediately identified itself.

[Bronya Rand, the adopted daughter of Cocolia Great Guardian of Jarilo -VI.]

Chapter 157 Sparkle: Settle the Overnight Fee [First Update]

Looking at the numerous interstellar warships before her, Bronya felt a chill run through her body.

As an indigenous person who hadn't left their planet for hundreds of years, the sudden sight of a fleet that could freely navigate the galaxy filled me with dread.

She couldn't fight them, there was no way she could. Even if she brought out all the power in the entire Belobog, she didn't believe she had the strength to fight against these fleets.

Her expression showed despair.

Bronya asked Sparkle, "Is this the fleet of the Interastral Peace Corporation?"

"Yes, and these fleets are insignificant compared to the entire Interastral Peace Corporation. There are countless planets that the company has collected debts from."

Sparkle said to Bronya while painting her little toenails with red nail polish.

"What should we do?" Bronya was somewhat distraught.

"I don't know," Sparkle said, spreading her hands. "In the end, I'm just a pitiful, innocent, and powerless woman. How to save Jarilo is entirely up to you."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly revealed a mischievous smile.

"I have an idea."

"What method?"

A glimmer of hope instantly ignited in Bronya's eyes.

Sparkle looked Bronya up and down and said, "That depends on whether you're willing to sacrifice yourself."

Bronya gritted her teeth and then pondered deeply.

Seeing Bronya's obvious interest after her initial hesitation, Sparkle almost burst out laughing. She rested her chin on her hands, watching Bronya's reaction with a smile.

Yes, that's it. Even if they're unwilling, they have to submit because of what they're protecting.

Hurry up and seduce Ji Yuan; I want to see a bloodbath erupt in the battlefield.

Sparkle felt a surge of joy rising within her.

As she was thinking this, Bronya nodded emphatically.

"Alright, I will find an opportunity to meet with Ji Yuan and assassinate him. When that happens, please tell my mother that I am trying my best to protect Belobog."

Sparkle heard Bronya say that, she staggered and almost hit her chin on the table.

Goodness, what kind of thought process do you have? So simple and direct.

Bronya was surprised by Sparkle's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? Wasn't this your idea? To sacrifice yourself to assassinate him. Didn't you say that the guy named Ji Yuan is a scientist and his combat ability shouldn't be high? I can still assassinate him."

"Maybe scientists are weak on your planet, but many scientists in the galaxy are incredibly powerful. Besides, Ji Yuan is not only a scientist, but also the strongest swordsman on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel. You really can't beat him," Sparkle complained helplessly.

Immediately, he glanced at Bronya.

"My original intention was for you to use your beauty to seduce Ji Yuan. But it seems we should forget about that now." Sparkle waved her hand helplessly.

"Beauty, a honey trap?"

Bronya's eyes widened, seemingly bewildered as to why Sparkle would come up with such a method. This was something she had never even considered.

"Fine, I'll handle this!" Sparkle puffed out her thin chest. "Remember, I sacrificed myself for this Belobog. You must remember me."

Bronya should have been deeply moved by such a noble sacrifice. But watching the Sparkle, Bronya always felt something was off.

As the two were talking, the spaceship had already entered the fleet range of the Interastral Peace Corporation. Sparkle patted Bronya, indicating that she could prepare to disembark.

"Let's go, at least let's meet him. He won't harm the residents until he has complete control over Jarilo. Then you can try to persuade Ji Yuan to give up the idea of experimenting on people."

"Um."

The small spaceship docked as instructed by the fleet, and Sparkle pulled Bronya outside.

Bronya took a deep breath. She knew she had to stay calm as she faced the biggest creditor on the planet.

"Brother, who is this Bronya?" Sushang asked Ji Yuan as they walked through the spaceship's passageway.

"The next generation's Great Guardian over there," Ji Yuan explained. "If she can cooperate with us, I believe things will be much easier over there."

He doesn't really want money. For him, the most important thing is the star core and the planet Jarilo, which provides a place for him to conduct experiments.

He certainly won't touch the residents up there. Except, of course, for the Great Guardian Cocolia.

They dared to Tingyun.

I'm going to make you pay.

"Okay, fine." Sushang nodded.

At that moment, the small spaceship that Bronya was in opened, and she and Sparkle stepped off the spaceship.

Ji Yuan was somewhat surprised to see two people on the spaceship. He walked over and asked Bronya, "Miss Bronya, may I ask who she is?"

Although Ji Yuan had never played Honkai: Star Rail 3rd in his previous life, he had been exposed to it, so he could recognize Bronya at a glance.

Hearing Ji Yuan's words and looking at his expression, Bronya was somewhat surprised. In her understanding, an evil scientist should have a cold and indifferent expression, and the smiling young man in front of her was really not related to an evil scientist.

Sparkle then approached Ji Yuan and extended her palm.

Um?!

Ji Yuan looked at her action, puzzled.

What are you doing?

"Hehe, of course I'm here to collect the overnight fee," Sparkle said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing her words, both Ji Yuan and Sushang couldn't help but widen their eyes. Sushang even turned to look at Ji Yuan: "Brother, you..."

Do you think this is possible?

"That's right, my brother doesn't like kids who have no breasts, no butts, and no height." Sushang suddenly realized.

Bronya: "..."

Ji Yuan: "..."

"It's okay. No one would call themselves a lolicon before they've tried being with a loli." Sparkle seemed quite nonchalant. She continued to hold out her hand and said to Ji Yuan, "Alright, now you can give me the money."

"We've never met before, so where did this overnight fee come from?"

Upon hearing this, Sparkle still confidently replied, "Yes, you haven't met her. But Miss Tingyun and I have met. You two are boyfriend and girlfriend, so shouldn't this debt be considered together?"

Sushang stared wide-eyed and said, "But Tingyun is a woman! And she doesn't like women."

"She didn't want it, it's not like I'm not going to give it to her. So, of course you still have to give her the money."

Sparkle's self-righteousness left Ji Yuan and Sushang speechless.

However, upon hearing these words, Ji Yuan understood who she was.

"Are you the one who sent Tingyun and the others to the Sparkle of Belobog?"

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Bronya stared wide-eyed at Sparkle.

Did she do these things before?

Sparkle nodded. "Yes, that's me, the mysterious broker active in Belobog. As for my other identity, that's a secret."

"Okay, I won't ask you about your identity. Let's go, it's almost noon now, I'll treat you to lunch as a way of thanking you for helping Sparkle Tingyun the others escape danger."

Sparkle's mystery isn't a problem; Ji Yuan could find out with just one meal. Actually, it would be easier to just punch Sparkle right now, but given the current situation, it's better to play it safe.

"Great, great. I'm going to be staying in Belobog for quite a while, and I'm really craving food from outside."

Bronya followed behind, but couldn't help asking Ji Yuan, "Um, about the debt..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan waved his hand.

"Let's talk about this after we finish eating."

Not knowing Sparkle's true identity, Ji Yuan decided to wait until he could ascertain it before making any decisions.

As he walked, he thought of Tingyun and quickly picked up his phone to call her, wanting to ask about her current situation.
