Silver Wolf: Jiyuan, Firefly's a Good Girl / Seeing the Engine of Creation, Attacked by the Antimatter Legion [First Update]

Aventurine yawned and said to Dr. Ratio, "Next, we should naturally get some rest in Belobog. After traveling for so long, we need to get enough rest to carry out our mission effectively."

"Give me a company employee uniform later, and I'll disguise myself as a low-level employee and do some manual labor. Hmm, the last time I did manual labor was when I was captured and enslaved by a dictator in some star system."

"Um."

Dr. Ratio nodded in agreement.

Chapter 167 Silver Wolf: Ji Yuan, Firefly is a good girl [Second Update]

Ji Yuan finally managed to calm her teacher down, preventing her from going after Topaz right now.

Although the company isn't exactly known for its Topaz, Ji Yuan seems to have a decent character. Of course, the most important thing is that Ji Yuan is currently planning to use company resources to build his own laboratory.

If we defeat them now, who will transport supplies to them next?

Ask for more now, and then when you fall out with the company in the future, you won't have to pay it back.

The Genius Society has a well-established process for how to sabotage companies.

[You were able to remain calm and not be seduced by Sparkle, the theatrical master recognized by Aha, despite being a member of the Masked Fool, and thus not taking advantage of her. The system rewards you with the Aura Concealment Art.]

[Aura Concealment Art: Disguise your aura, greatly reducing the risk of being detected during stealth. Note: Aura Disguise only disguises your aura; appearance, conversation, etc., can still give you away. Please be extremely careful when using it.]

Goodness, the Sparkle didn't seduce me, but instead gave me a freebie.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Ji Yuan patted his stomach, feeling a bit hungry. He hadn't eaten anything while doing experiments.

Ji Yuan quietly went to the kitchen, and at that moment he heard a faint sound coming from inside.

Um?

He was puzzled, and then quietly walked over.

After walking over, he saw Firefly sitting alone in a chair, looking devoutly at the cake in front of her.

"Ugh, we've spent so much money lately. If they steal this cake from the kitchen, we'll definitely have to make them pay for it, but..."

Firefly held her empty wallet in her hand, unsure whether she should eat it or not.

Ji Yuan smiled inwardly at this moment, and then used his aura disguise technique to come to Firefly's side.

"Those Stellaron Hunter are really awful; they don't even give you enough pocket money. If I were you, I would eat my fill and then send the whole bill to Kafka."

Firefly was about to nod subconsciously when she quickly realized something was wrong. Turning her head, she saw Ji Yuan sitting next to her.

"When did you get here?!"

She said to Ji Yuan in surprise.

"Just when you're debating whether or not to eat the cake," Ji Yuan said with a smile, "You can eat the cake without worry. You don't need to pay for it."

"No, I can't just use your money. I've always been the one receiving your kindness, and I'd feel terrible if I wasted your money or anything else because of my own selfishness." Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Firefly quickly shook her head and refused.

Her tone was very serious, and after saying this, she even pushed the cake to one side to show her determination. However, Ji Yuan stopped halfway with her finger.

"It's okay, eat up. I'll just find a place to get reimbursed."

Ji Yuan smiled and said to Firefly.

"Ah?"

A look of confusion crossed Firefly's pretty face. "Where can I get reimbursed for the money here?"

Would Luofu Starfaring Vessel be so generous?

Just as she was confused, Ji Yuan said to her, "Come on, give me Silver Wolf's or Kafka's contact information."

Firefly wasn't surprised by Ji Yuan's words. Before arriving here, she already knew that she was here because of what Kafka and Ji Yuan had told her. Her relationship with the Stellaron Hunter was something that couldn't be hidden from Ji Yuan at all. But now that Ji Yuan had brought it up, her face turned deathly pale instantly.

Seeing her expression, Ji Yuan quickly comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, no matter what your purpose was when I took you in, I will find a way to cure your Entropy Loss Syndrome. Even though I have arrested the Stellaron Hunter, I don't have any real deep-seated hatred for them."

"Yes, I know you're a good person."

Firefly touched her face and nodded to Ji Yuan.

During this time, he had been receiving Ji Yuan's kindness. He allowed him to move, eat, and drink like a normal person, and experience the joys that this world inherently possessed.

She then thought for a moment, took out her phone, and asked Ji Yuan:

What do you want to see them for?

"I have some important matters to ask them. By the way, I'll reimburse you for this cake."

"Oh? Let's forget about the last one. I can pay with my wallet myself."

Upon hearing this, Firefly immediately refused.

"It's alright, this counts as a business trip, the Stellaron Hunter should pay your travel expenses. Since they're not paying, I'll ask for it for you."

Ji Yuan spoke again.

Then he saw Firefly hesitantly open the communication with Silver Wolf.

Soon, Ji Yuan heard Silver Wolf's dissatisfied tone on the other end of the phone.

"Ah~, is it daytime where you are? It's already past midnight here. I fought all night last night, and I'm exhausted. Is something wrong with you? Is your illness cured? I already told Elio and Kafka what you said last time. It's not good that you accepted Ji Yuan's treatment but still went to do surveillance. Elio told me that you don't have to go and monitor Ji Yuan's actions. You can just focus on getting better over there."

""

Ji Yuan looked at Firefly.

Despair was evident in Firefly's eyes.

That's it, Silver Wolf has revealed everything.

Sensing her silence, Silver Wolf quickly asked her:

"Hmm? Firefly, what happened on your end?"

Hearing Silver Wolf's urging, Ji Yuan immediately said to her, "Entropy Loss Syndrome is not so easy to solve. Even my teacher and I need some time to prepare. Don't worry, since you sent Firefly here, I will naturally make sure she is safe and sound."

After saying this, he looked at Firefly, whose expression was filled with despair, and Ji Yuan gave her a reassuring look.

Silver Wolf's words were very clear: although Firefly had come with the task of surveillance, she had never done so, and had instead refused. Faced with this situation, Ji Yuan not only didn't feel angry, but also felt gratified.

At least, I didn't treat an ungrateful person, but rather a normal, honest, and kind-hearted girl.

Seeing Ji Yuan's gaze, Firefly's anxious heart calmed down a little.

"You actually came directly to ask for my contact information with Firefly."

Silver Wolf's tone suddenly rose. "You actually came directly to ask for my contact information with Firefly. I told you she wouldn't come looking for me for no reason. What are you doing here?"

Ji Yuan stopped wasting words and asked directly, "I've come to you for important business. It concerns my experiment and also Firefly's treatment."

"Hmm? What do you need?"

"I need your research on star cores. My teacher hasn't done any research on star cores, and my research is limited as well. You Stellaron Hunter have enough knowledge about star cores, and I need your materials to help me."

"Does treating Entropy Loss Syndrome require a star core? Okay, I'll go ask Elio." Silver Wolf then left.

During this break, Firefly apologized to Ji Yuan: "I'm sorry. Before I came, Kafka asked me to monitor your actions because your presence completely rendered Elio's script useless. We must monitor you to ensure the Stellaron Hunter's operation goes smoothly."

After saying that, she quickly explained to Ji Yuan, "Of course, I didn't tell Elio about your actions. I feel that it would be really wrong for me to betray you after you saved me."

"Yes, I believe you. A kind and good girl like you wouldn't do such a thing."

Ji Yuan nodded and said.

Upon hearing his words, Firefly's lips curled up involuntarily, revealing her inner joy.

At that moment, Silver Wolf returned.

"Elio has agreed. Now, contact me with your phone number. This file is quite large; I'll transfer it to you directly."

"Um."

Ji Yuan nodded.

He and Silver Wolf then exchanged contact information.

While Silver Wolf was transferring the file, she didn't forget to remind Ji Yuan:

"Ji Yuan, let me tell you, there are signs of activity from the Interastral Peace Corporation and the Anti-Matter Legion over there. And there are other energy fluctuations further away. But because of your presence, Elio can't find out any specific information."

"Yes, I'll be careful."

"It doesn't matter if you're careful or not, just don't let Firefly get hurt." After saying that, Silver Wolf seemed to remember something and reminded Ji Yuan, "By the way, Elio told me that there are many giant robots hidden on your planet. Of course, they are not strong enough now, but didn't you learn from Screwllum? Modifying them shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Okay, thank you for reminding me."

Ji Yuan remembered the marker on the map he had obtained earlier and felt he should go check it out later.

After all, both the Anti-Matter Legion and the Corporation have a large number of troops, and we need to replenish our forces in this area as well.

"Hmph, as long as he doesn't die, I don't want someone who can rival my hacking skills to get into trouble."

Having said that, just as the file transfer was completed, Silver Wolf hung up the phone.

"That guy came to see me first thing in the morning, not letting me get any rest. Sure enough, that guy is a complete bastard."

Silver Wolf grumbled a couple of times and was about to go to sleep. Then, she glanced at her phone and froze completely.

"Ji Yuan, are you looking for death?! I only have 1024 Credits in my phone, and you still transferred 1000 of them to me? Are you even human?"

Silver Wolf almost went berserk.

She immediately typed a 60-second voice message into Ji Yuan phone.

These 60 seconds are not the limit for Silver Wolf, but the limit for voice input.

Looking at the voice message on his phone, Ji Yuan didn't open it, but instead burst into laughter.

"Hahaha..."

"Ji Yuan, what are you laughing at?"

Upon hearing his words, Firefly couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course we'll reimburse you for the cake you ate. Just enjoy it."

Chapter 168 Encountering the Creation Engine, Encountering Anti-Matter Legion's Siege [First Update]

Is it really okay?

Firefly asked Ji Yuan.

She remembered that because of the expenses of playing games and the fact that she didn't usually need money, Silver Wolf's financial situation was worse than hers.

"It's alright. You've come here on official business, so reimbursement is only fair."

Ji Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh well."

Seeing the money in Ji Yuan's hands, she knew she would never ask for it back. Firefly could only think that once things were settled here, she would find a way to repay Silver Wolf and the others with her own money.

Thinking this to herself, Firefly felt much better. Looking at the cake on the table, her hunger flared up again. Ji Yuan, watching Firefly eat so happily, couldn't help but feel his stomach growl.

Hearing such a sound from his stomach, Ji Yuan looked slightly embarrassed.

Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, Firefly couldn't help but smile. She picked up a knife and cut the cake in half. Then she handed the uneaten half to Ji Yuan.

"Here, have a taste, it tastes great."

Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment, then accepted the cake.

"How does it taste?" Firefly asked Ji Yuan.

"Very good."

"Really? That's wonderful."

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Firefly couldn't help but laugh.

After quickly finishing his food, Ji Yuan didn't intend to waste any more time. Both Sparkle and Silver Wolf reminded him that his and his teacher's experiment was being closely watched. It seemed he needed to hurry.

He took out the medicine for treating Firefly from his pocket and handed it to her.
