[Got it, capitalists, huh? Take my hammer and sickle! (Angry)]
"That's not the point."
After answering Xier, Jingyuan brought the topic back.
"I say this to tell you that the company may send someone to Yalilo No. 6 soon."
Xi'er was stunned: "The company is sending people to Yalilo? What are they doing here? Doing business with us?"
Bronya was also a little confused.
But deep down in my heart, I instinctively denied Xier's guess.
As the successor to the Great Guardian, she undoubtedly knows the current situation of the planet better than Xier.
In the past, Yalilo No. 6 still had the earth marrow mine, which could attract many "foreign investors".
But after seven hundred years of cold waves, the number of mineral veins that can be explored has become fewer and fewer.
In the eyes of businessmen, Yalilo No. 6 has long lost its appeal and is an absolute "poor ball".
Why would the Interstellar Peace Company do business if there is no profit?
Just as Bronya expected.
Jing Yuan shook his head slowly: "No, they are not here to do business, but to...collect debts."
"Debt?" Xier frowned. "What debt? Do we still owe money?"
Chapter 278 "True Love" and "Accident"
"You guessed it right, but there's no reward."
Jing Yuan spread his hands.
To Bronya: "Remember the 'Star Core Suppression' device?"
Bronya nodded solemnly.
The battle with Cocolia was very impressive, so she naturally remembered every detail.
Even after sending the unconscious Cocolia back to Klipperburg, he sent Jeppard to Everwinter Ridge to try to bring back the wreckage for research.
Unexpectedly, when Jeppard and his troops arrived, the wreckage of the suppressor had already disappeared, and it has not been found out who did it...
"Including the suppression device, Yalilo VI received 'assistance' from the company when the cold wave first hit."
Jing Yuan paused and organized his words.
Then he continued: "Seven hundred years ago, when the star core known as the 'Cancer of All Worlds' landed on Yalilo VI, the outsiders stationed on the planet foresaw the crisis and chose to leave."
"Among them were a group of 'investors' from the Interstellar Peace Company. However, unlike other outsiders, these investors did something big before they left..."
"They found the 'city builders' led by the first great guardian, Alisa Rand, who insisted on staying in their homeland, and provided them with a large sum of money for disaster prevention."
"It was with this funding that Belloberg was able to build the tall walls it has today and create an isolated city in the ice and snow."
"According to the information I have, even the research and development funds for the first batch of automatic robots were allocated from that money..."
Xi'er on the side was dumbfounded: "There is such a thing?!"
"So...how much money do we owe that Peace Company?" She swallowed and asked subconsciously.
Jing Yuan smiled bitterly: "According to the contract agreed upon by the city builders and the company's investors, the repayment period should be 280 years, but now more than 700 years have passed, which means it is overdue for more than 420 years..."
"Over 400 years of overdue interest... the principal and interest are already an astronomical figure."
"Even I don't know how to pronounce that string of numbers accurately."
Bronya's face was as gloomy as water.
She knew that Jingyuan was rich.
But even Jing Yuan had to use "astronomical figures" to describe the amount of money owed, and it was so outrageous that he didn't even know how to pronounce it...
It is conceivable that if the company really sends someone here, the entire Beloberg will face huge debt pressure!
Xi'er, who has a gruff personality, immediately complained: "*Beloberg swears* Why did you wait until the crisis of the Rift Realm was resolved before coming? If Jingyuan didn't help us get rid of the star core, would we just let it go?"
Jing Yuan touched his nose.
Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "That seems to be the case..."
"After all, less than a hundred years after the loan was made, the entire Yalilo VI was completely cut off from the outside world. The company's top management unanimously believed that the planet had suffered a devastating blow and that civilization no longer existed."
"That 'investment' was rightfully classified as a bad debt."
"It was not until the core crisis was resolved and the signal belonging to Yalilo VI appeared on the star map again that the company discovered that Beloberg had survived the cold wave and had survived until now..."
The Blue Star audience also understood what happened through Jing Yuan's description.
[So that's what happened. It seems the company is following the contract and not messing around! ]
[Although it is natural to pay back debts, can't special circumstances be treated specially? Yalilo No. 6 finally ended the disaster, and now it is time to rebuild everything. How can it have money to pay back the debt? This lousy company has no humanity at all! (Snort)]
[Heh, expecting capitalists to be humane? It would be more practical to let Xiao Ri drink up all the nuclear wastewater (pouting)]
[To be honest, this can't be blamed on our Xiao Jing, right? If Xiao Jing hadn't taken action, who knows what Cocolia would have done under the temptation of the star core! ]
Bronya sighed softly: "No, Mr. Jingyuan, if you hadn't helped, Beloberg would still be in the cold wave, the rift would not disappear, the people would have no hope, and even mother... could not get rid of the temptation of the star core."
"I'll take you to see mother first," she changed the subject abruptly. "After mother woke up, she has been looking forward to meeting you and expressing her gratitude in person."
Jing Yuan did not refuse.
He knew Bronya was in a mess.
Although she has been through so much, she is still quite dignified at a young age. Even a "veteran" like Vittorio is very honest in front of her...
But after all, he is still a child.
When encountering problems that cannot be solved, we instinctively want to seek help from our parents.
This was also the reason why Jing Yuan tried his best to persuade Lan to show mercy.
Bronya still needs Cocolia, she needs a mother...
The sudden "debt" was like a mountain, pressing Bronya so hard that she couldn't breathe and remained silent all the way.
Even the joy of seeing Jing Yuan again was gone.
Until the three of them arrived in front of Cocolia's room.
Before Bronya knocked on the door, Jing Yuan heard a familiar voice coming from the room.
"Oh, I've told you so many times, I really don't want to become a 'city builder' again, this life is good enough now."
"I can repair machinery and play music every day. If I have time, I can go to have a meal with my brother, and then go home to see my little sister. Isn't it more comfortable than being a city builder?"
"I'm planning to form a band recently! Come on, help me think of a good name for the band..."
Jing Yuan looked at Bronya strangely.
Bronya explained in a low voice: "Mr. Jingyuan, you don't know that after my mother woke up, she asked me to invite Xiluwa over. While apologizing to her, she also gave her the electric guitar that had been in the room for many years."
"It's strange... I was worried that it would be hard for them to let go of their past grudges... After all, Shiluwa was treated like that by her mother."
"When she came to Klipperburg, she told me that she wanted to teach my mother a lesson and avenge her past..."
"After seeing the electric guitar, the two of them hugged each other and cried."
Jing Yuan nodded slowly.
This is no surprise.
After all, before Bronya came into being, Cocolia and Silva were "true love".
After a brief explanation, Bronya went forward and knocked on the door.
With the knock on the door, the conversation in the room came to an abrupt end.
"Come in."
A slightly cold voice sounded.
Bronya then opened the door and walked in with Jingyuan and Xier.
The clean and tidy room is very spacious.
The sunlight shines into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, dispelling some of the chill and making the originally cold decoration style a little more gentle.
My old acquaintance, Shiluwa, was sitting in a chair beside the bed.
Using a knife to peel fruit for the person on the bed...
Chapter 279 My brother’s fist is quite hard!
The person lying on the bed was Cocolia.
Although she has woken up from her coma, she is not fully recovered and still needs some time to recuperate.
Besides.
Kokolia also lost an arm, with bandages wrapped around the joints.
"Jingyuan?"
Like Bronya, Shiluwa was surprised to see Jingyuan.
So much so that my hands were half a beat slower and I almost cut my fingers with the fruit knife...
Cocolia also struggled to get up after being stunned for a moment.
Maybe the wound was accidentally touched.
Her already unhealthy complexion became even paler...
"Just lie down," Jing Yuan reminded him in time, and said casually, "This is not the first time we meet, so let's skip the polite words."
Although they were once rivals.
But Jing Yuan didn't have much aversion to her.
Even somewhat understand each other.
After all, from Cocolia's perspective, in the absence of any hope, the "promise" given by the star core is the only choice.
She didn't want to be deceived either.
But the reality is that there is almost no other choice except the path provided by the star core.
Don’t think that the great guardians of all generations can resist temptation and not be bewitched by the star core.
But at that time, Beloberg still had the capital to resist the cold wave, and the erosion of the rift was not serious.
What about when we get to Cocolia?
The more the earth's marrow is dug, the less it is, and the rift is becoming more and more serious.
This lonely city has reached the point of running out of fuel.
Either watch Beloberg go to destruction, or take a gamble and bet that what the star core said is not a lie.
Not knowing that Jing Yuan would come and that external forces would intervene, she chose the latter.
By the time I saw Jing Yuan, it was too late.
The bewitched Cocolia has become a different person, with her mind full of the "new world" promised by the star core.
I can only say that it is time and fate...
"I'm sorry for meeting you in this way. I made a fool of myself." Cocolia touched her messy sideburns and said apologetically.
Jing Yuan didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, I just came to take a look."
Kokolia said sincerely, "Thank you for your help, Your Excellency. If you hadn't shattered the star core, I don't know what kind of situation I would have brought Beloberg into."
"I know that I can keep my life because of Bronya," she took a deep breath and continued, "but for me, this is already the best result..."
"Please rest assured, even if time is limited, I, Cocolia Rand, will do my best to teach Bronya to be the best Great Guardian!"
Cocolia is very smart.
