Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 410 Treasure: Choose Quickly

Banana pie is out of the question. In this origami university, at such a sensitive time, eating bananas just doesn't feel appropriate.

The All-Knowing One judges people not by their good or bad qualities, but by whether their minds can change the universe. Thus, He glances at those who can save the world and those who can destroy it.

The original doctor has a grudge against the Sea Patrol Rangers, which roughly translates to a grudge against the entire [Hunter] faction.

That means he has a grudge against Yun.

Origami University has too many bananas and too many monkeys. Although they all look like complete idiots, they all seem quite... cunning.

"I want to get to Onphalus as soon as possible, but it's obviously impossible."

There were sleeping monkeys everywhere on the playground, but Yunzhi had no interest in staying, so she returned to the teaching building.

I think I just saw three children go in from here. I wonder how their classes went.

...You weren't asleep, were you?

Don't ask him why he thinks that way.

Yun sat listlessly on the steps at the entrance of the teaching building, looking at the square not far away.

There was also a television set from the Dream Theatre Group next to it, which was posed in a "".

It introduced itself to the students, saying it was a "banana helper".

...Hurry up and find a monkey to eat it, okay? And what about bananas? Is the original doctor's atavistic experiment meant to turn everyone into this stupid creature?

No wonder it's so infamous.

"I wonder how the young knights are doing with their investigation, but seeing how quiet they are now, they probably don't need our help."

The original doctor isn't here, which is obvious. If that thing were here, the family wouldn't be so quiet.

Even though they are in a state of panic due to the current shock, if Dr. Primal were to come here, they would unite against the enemy without hesitation.

Otherwise, once Dr. Primal turns Pinocchio into the territory of the apes, it will be too late to cry.

However, for now, there's no need to worry about it; those wandering knights will handle it.

Yunzhi wagged her fox tail, seemingly in a better mood: "Don't you think it would be interesting for me to use my shareholder status to bully people?"

Lan swayed twice in Yunzhi's tail, then quickly hugged the fluffy thing to prevent it from flying away:

"It seems like Xing and the others really enjoy doing this kind of thing."

Now that they've joined Pinocchio, what they love to do most is flaunt their shareholder status.

And it actually fooled quite a few people.

"Are we just going to wait here forever? That seems way too boring."

I don't want to go to class, and I don't want to see those monkeys.

How about this?

Yun suddenly clapped his hands: "Since Sleeping Banana Monkey is so popular now, it must already have a fan base."

"Let's go join their group chat."

Lan had no objection to this:

"So what identity do you plan to use this time?"

"identity?"

Yun Zhi revealed an exceptionally bright smile:

"Of course, it's the easiest identity to get into!"

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

The sea patroller, Portio the cow cat, is currently investigating a strange matter at Dream Reef—a rare "land of freedom" in dreams.

He was invited by another sea patroller named "Luanpo" to come here and lend her a hand, but Luanpo didn't say what he was supposed to do. So, he could only sit in this small bar, order some drinks, and pass the time.

He ordered seven glasses of... malt juice.

But I only took a sip of each cup.

Like a monkey eating a peach, it takes one bite and then throws it away.

He's pretty boring.

The sound of high heels clicking on the ground came from behind me.

"Hey, Mr. Bobo Shark, why are you drinking here all alone?"

A gentle, soft voice reached his ears, but Potio didn't turn his head:

"Ah, Sasha, it's you."

The blonde Sasana walked over to Portio, ordered a low-alcohol drink, and casually remarked:

"Put his drink on my tab."

Potio seemed used to it:

"Don't worry, sis, I'll return it to you in a couple of days."

He was serious; at least with Sasana, Potio had never been in arrears with money.

"I'm very rich, it's okay if you don't pay me back."

Sasana smiled gently.

Portio scoffed, "You're the sister of a company executive, of course you're not short of money, but I don't want to owe anyone a favor—were you also brought here by that girl, Ranpo?"

"Yes, my fellow rangers all like me, don't they?"

"Of course, although it sounds a bit harsh, Sasha, you're our sugar daddy, aren't you?"

Sasana smiled:

"What kind of sugar daddy am I? I haven't even reimbursed the Ranger's activity expenses twice."

"Hey, you're wrong to think that way. Even a hero can be brought down by a penny. In this world, you can't get anywhere without money."

Potio raised his hand, displaying his steel body:

"Without money, could I possibly install all this machinery on me?"

Sasana burst out laughing:

"Alright, I only contributed a little bit... Ranpo should have told you about her guess. Do you think Dr. Primal will appear here?"

Potio bit his shark tooth:

"Hopefully it's not what Random Broken is guessing. Damn it, if that thing really is here... huh?"

Sasana looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Banana?"

Didn't we used to say "he's my darling"?

"His banana...? What's going on???"

The synesthetic beacon... is malfunctioning?

This is no fun.

Potio felt he had to find a way to get the synesthetic beacon back quickly.

Otherwise, I'll have to eat bananas every day from now on... just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable.

Sasana paid the bill and left the bar with Potio.

Although a minor altercation occurred at the bar entrance, fortunately it did not escalate into a larger conflict.

However, during their investigation, they discovered some...

Something unexpected?

At the entrance of the so-called "Sleeping Banana Monkey Fan Gathering Place," or "Sleeping Banana Society" for short, Potio and Sasana saw a familiar person.

"—You won't let me join? Kid, do you know who you're rejecting?"

The man's tone was unmistakably sarcastic:

"The First Envoy joining your Sleeping Banana Society is an honor. If it weren't for that infamous thing, would this bunch of idiots even deserve to make me make a special trip?"

Having regained his original appearance, Yun Zhi stood with one hand on his hip, chin slightly raised, looking arrogantly at the person who was now cowering in front of him:

"Let me join you, and I'll give you a gentle approach."

"If that still doesn't work—then my solution... won't be so great."

"Choose between life and death."
