Ch 269: I’m Finished!!

Miss Nightingale, along with Xing and others, arrived at the driver’s seat.

“This is the driver’s seat. Driving is divided into automatic mode and manual mode. For automatic mode, you need to pre-enter the route.”

Xing walked to the side of the driver’s console, hands on hips.

“Automatic mode!”

An artificial intelligence appeared on the display screen of the driver’s console.

“Automatic mode activated. Please select a route.”

Xing looked at the routes; currently, only those within Pinoccone were entered.

That’s normal, after all, the Huichang Stone is a spaceship for entertainment purposes.

After playing in the driver’s seat for a while, everyone went to the deck under Miss Nightingale’s guidance.

At this time, Jizi, Jade, Topa, and Old Otto had already finished their meeting.

To Jizi’s surprise, the train crew received 20% of the shares this time.

Originally, according to Jizi’s prediction, it should only be around 10%.

Topa, Jade, and Jizi had roughly discussed this last night; the company’s request was 30% of the shares.

To control Pinoccone, the Clan needs at least 51% of the shares; for safety, 60% is best.

Unexpectedly, the Clan gave 20% to the train crew.

If the train crew and the company collude, their combined shares will be 50%, enough to stand against the Clan in court.

Jizi walked to Miss Nightingale.

“Miss Nightingale, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Miss Nightingale, who was discussing song-related topics with Furina, took Jizi to a tea room.

“Madam Jizi, what do you want to talk to me about?”

Jizi stated her question.

“Isn’t the percentage of shares given by the Clan too much?”

Miss Nightingale smiled after hearing this.

“Not really. Giving the train crew 20% of the shares was discussed internally within the Clan.

To be honest, after this, the Clan has fallen behind in the confrontation with the Company.

Many of the Clan’s industries have been suppressed by the Company.

To bring both sides to the same position, the Clan must bring in a powerful ally.

And the train crew is our choice.

The train crew is famous throughout the Universe, and each member is incredibly capable.”

After hearing this, Jizi smiled and asked a crucial question.

“Don’t you worry that our train crew will join forces with the Company?”

Miss Nightingale calmly said a sentence.

“Aren’t the train crew all righteous people? Using Xing’s description of her life this period.

Wandering around, occasionally saving a few worlds.

The Clan believes that those with righteous hearts will not take advantage of others’ misfortune.”

Jizi smiled and stood up.

“Okay, I’ve finished asking my questions. Thank you for your explanation, Miss Nightingale.”

Miss Nightingale nodded slightly.

“After the opening ceremony, can I go visit the train?

I haven’t seen what the train looks like yet. I’d also like to see that magical small shop on the car.”

Jizi agreed.

“Of course, the train won’t refuse anyone who wants to board it.”

Afterward,

Jizi and Miss Nightingale returned to the deck, and the opening ceremony began soon.

Miss Nightingale went on stage and gave a speech, announcing the Company and the train crew’s investment in Pinoccone.

And, she announced that the Huichang Stone would be gifted to Xing.

Topa was slightly surprised by this news and nudged Xing with her elbow.

“Xing, you’ve made a fortune! The Huichang Stone’s daily income is tens of millions of credit points. Are you treating us to dinner later?”

Xing patted her chest confidently.

“No problem! Tonight’s expenses are all covered by me, Galaxy Heavenly Fire Hero!”

Seeing this, Ying silently took out her mobile phone, called Xiangling, and said it in front of Xing.

“Hey～Xiangling, yes, it’s me, Ying. Is tonight’s menu ready? Not yet? Oh well, Xing is treating us to dinner tonight, and she’ll pay for all the ingredients.

Yes, yes, yes, you’re so smart. I want to order. An Icefield Deer, roasted, yes, yes, yes.

And that thousand-year-old spirit chicken we couldn’t afford last time, yes, one, stewed. That’s all from me, ask the others.”

After that, Ying hung up.

“Boss Xing is so generous～Thank you, Boss Xing, for the feast.”

Xing fell silent.

Icefield Deer… If she remembered correctly, Bronya didn’t currently have any in stock, meaning she had to buy it with Star Coins from Ye Yun’s Shop.

And the thousand-year-old spirit chicken is also a product from Ye Yun’s Shop. It’s said to prolong life and strengthen the body, and it’s not cheap, costing 3000 Star Coins!

Seeing Xing’s predicament, March 7th came over, her eyes shining.

“Xing, I won’t order. You decide. My requirement is 300 Star Coins per person, okay?”

Hu Tao patted March 7th’s shoulder confidently.

“Standing before you is the captain of the Huichang Stone, one of the shareholders of Pinoccone, the fifth member of the train crew, the famous Galaxy Heavenly Fire Hero!

300 Star Coins per person? Do you think so little of us? 500! It must be 500 Star Coins per person to be worthy!”

March 7th realized her mistake.

“Yes, yes, yes, I was short-sighted, I didn’t have good judgment, Madam Hu Tao is right.”

That wasn’t even the main issue. Topa waved her phone in front of Xing, displaying group chat messages.

Top Chef of the Three Realms: Everyone, Xing is treating us to dinner tonight, tell me what you want to eat, I’ll buy the ingredients.

Irritable Little Demon: Beef～I want to eat beef～

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s First Guest: Anything is fine.

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s Second Guest: As long as there’s alcohol.

The Invincible Asmodeus: Can I get takeout? Don’t want to leave the computer.

Real Name Online: Some tea eggs, using those 500 Star Coins/g tea leaves to boil them.

Little Dragon Girl: I want to eat braised pork.

Little Sun: Klee wants to eat grilled fish.

Little Zombie: Qiqi wants to drink coconut milk.

Little Immortal: Thank you, Sister Xing, for the treat! Yaoyao sends her regards～

Big Hook: Hook wants to eat chili stir-fried pork!

Little Cat: Grilled fish!

Seeing the group messages, Xing gasped and fainted.

Xiangling! Why did you send a group message asking people to order! Oh dear! My Star Coins!

Miss Nightingale walked over and saw Xing’s dejected state.

“What’s wrong with Xing?”

March 7th said.

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about her, she said she’s treating us to dinner.”

Miss Nightingale was interested.

“Is that so? Do you mind one more person? I just told Madam Jizi that I wanted to see the train.”

Xing nodded in agreement. It was already at this point, one more wouldn’t matter.

Afterward, everyone played on the Huichang Stone for a while before returning to the train.

Jizi walked to Xing and patted her shoulder.

“Xing, just do what you think is best; everyone is just joking.”

Xing had recovered by now.

“I know, but I really should treat everyone to dinner. After all, I’m the captain of the Huichang Stone now, and I’ve made a fortune.”
