Starry Sky Railway: Starting with a furious outburst at Aha

Chapter 18 No Top Hat

"Hey, did you have to be so sudden?"

Zhou Yuan's expression darkened, and he retreated repeatedly, but the space in the furnace core area was so small that there was no room to dodge.

The missiles quickly caught up with Zhou Yuan and exploded one by one.

Boom! ! !

Like a thunderclap, dust exploded and spread out. Schwarz's single eye spun and scanned the area. A black figure suddenly burst out from the dust, grabbed Schwarz, and knocked him out of the furnace core, landing in the square.

Looking at his badly damaged suit, Zhou Yuan sighed helplessly. His clothes weren't some kind of high-tech gadget, so it was no surprise that they were damaged by a missile. They were full of holes, and his top hat was also blown to smithereens.

"I quite like this outfit..." Zhou Yuan's gaze was fixed on Schwarz, thinking about how to teach it a lesson to vent his anger.

Swallow got up from the ground, almost unharmed. With a slight twitch of its fingers, it summoned two automated machine guns from outside the square.

"Warhound mechs, oh... 'Guardian Star God' is here too?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the familiar traffic lights. "Phase One?"

In Star Railroad, "traffic light" is a player's brief description of the beetle mech's appearance, while "Star Guardian" is a nickname for it.

Looking at it, Zhou Yuan thought of the second-stage "Hunting Star God" toothed wolf mech, and then of the third-stage tangible hand that restrained the mechanical arm. He felt that his clothes were about to die.

“Stranger, leave this place. Final warning.” Swallow’s one eye locked onto Zhou Yuan, trying to analyze his weaknesses, but without success.

“I thought you couldn’t communicate,” Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and put his hat on the ground.

"I don't want this to happen."

As he spoke, Zhou Yuan shook his leg and took off his tattered suit, placing it aside.

"But this is my first outfit... my first one here."

After saying that, Zhou Yuan didn't pause. He pushed off with his feet and shot out like a rocket.

Bang! !

Zhou Yuan threw a punch that pierced through the War Dog mech, which immediately exploded, turning Zhou Yuan's white shirt black.

With a sweep of his arm, Zhou Yuan cleaved the traffic light in half, perhaps because it hadn't activated its shield yet.

A strong gust of wind came from behind, and Zhou Yuan was unable to dodge in time. He was hit squarely on the head with a dull thud.

Zhou Yuan turned his head and saw that it was Schwarz. Schwarz had punched Zhou Yuan, but Zhou Yuan was unharmed. However, the steel in his hand had deformed, which was obviously incomprehensible to Schwarz.

"Is this interesting?" Zhou Yuan punched it backhand, knocking it to the ground. Considering its important role in the main storyline, Zhou Yuan's punch could be considered a huge waste.

To prevent it from causing further "killing," Zhou Yuan firmly held its hands down, finally feeling a little more at ease.

"I'm just here to take care of some business. I have absolutely no feelings for you... Maybe I do, but I won't make a move, understand?"

But he clearly underestimated Schwarz's stubbornness. Schwarz did not respond; instead, he heard the sound of gears meshing.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a mech wearing blue steel armor and with serrated hands emerged from the corner and entered the arena; it was the Tooth Wolf mech.

"Don't you believe in evil? You..." Zhou Yuan's words suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the Tooth Wolf mech, almost spitting fire.

The wolf-tooth mech took a step forward, stomping directly on Zhou Yuan's top hat, flattening it beyond repair.

Zhou Yuan suddenly smiled with relief:

"I almost forgot, you never listen to anyone else."

"You ruined my hat, that would be rude of me."

With that, Zhou Yuan flung Schwarz away, striking the Wolf-tooth mech and knocking it to the ground. He quickly approached and easily broke off the serrated edge of the Wolf-tooth mech's arm.

Then, Zhou Yuan thrust forcefully, and the serrated edge pierced the core of the Wolf Mech, destroying it.

Throwing the wreckage of the Wolf-toothed mech far away, Zhou Yuan grabbed Schwarz's arm and dragged him forward, ignoring his movements: "I advise you not to shake any more mechs. I'll smash every one you shake."

If it weren't for Swallow constantly punching and kicking Zhou Yuan in an attempt to break free, others might have thought they had a good relationship.

Kicking open the gate to the mechanical settlement, Zhou Yuan walked around, observing as he went, and finally spotted his target below.

Pulling Schwarz off, Zhou Yuan waved to the little girl in red and said, "Hello, Clara."

The white-haired little girl Clara was clearly startled by Zhou Yuan's sudden appearance. She stared blankly at Zhou Yuan and the struggling Schwarzkopf, and asked weakly:

"Brother, Mr. Schwarz, what are you doing?"

Unlike in the game, Clara, who was in the lower area, was wearing shoes and did not directly touch the coal dust on the ground with her delicate little feet. Her other clothing was similar to that in the game.

Not barefoot, what a pity... Wait, what am I thinking... Zhou Yuan is a kind-hearted person, and he softens when he sees a cute little girl, and the strength in his hands unconsciously decreases.

"I just came down from up there, wanting to talk to Schwarzro about something, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Swallow's fist came flying at him, hitting him squarely in the face.

"Ah! Mr. Schwarzlo, what are you doing?" Clara cried out in alarm, covering her mouth.

"Get out of here, Clara, he's dangerous!"

“...I came down to find some materials,” Zhou Yuan stopped Schwarzro’s hand and forced a smile. “I mean no harm, but Schwarzro seems to have some misunderstanding about me. Could you help me talk to him?”

Schwarz continued to attack Zhou Yuan with punches, which Zhou Yuan casually parried, his gaze falling on Clara.

“Mr. Schwarz, please stop hitting him,” Clara said softly. “I can sense that this older brother doesn’t mean any harm.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yuan clearly felt the force in Schwarz's hand disappear, so he slowly let go, took a step back, and released Schwarz.

"Clara, be careful." Schwarz, now free, immediately turned to face Zhou Yuan and said to Clara.

“It’s alright, Mr. Schwarz.” Clara patted Schwarz’s large hand and walked to stand beside him.

“Big brother, what do you need? Is there anything Clara can do to help you?” Clara asked. “Mr. Swallow will help you too. He was just… trying to protect everyone in the Lower District.”

"Finally, we can communicate normally," Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that things were finally getting back on track. Thinking of Schwarz's status in the lower city, he said:

"I need three hundred..."

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan stopped talking. He had a strange premonition that as soon as he asked for money, his power would disappear!

This premonition was inexplicable, but considering that the source of his own power was equally inexplicable, Zhou Yuan chose to believe it.

He then changed the subject, saying:

"I need clues about the universal manipulation system and the consciousness shield..."

"A consciousness shield? What's that?" Clara looked at Swallow with a puzzled expression, then agreed, "Okay, big brother, we'll try our best to help you find it."

“Also, there’s a black suit and top hat up there…maybe it’s turned gray,” Zhou Yuan pointed in the direction where he had fought Schwarz earlier. “Please fix it for me, it’s really important to me, thank you.”
