Star Dome Railway, why are they also simulating!

It is better to choose option 3 to update the anti-gravity module. Although it seems that there is no result for the time being, this is climbing the technology tree. If you keep climbing like this, sooner or later you will be able to climb to the end of this technology line...

Ron thought so, watching the option box on the light screen fade away, and a new simulated note popped up:

[You decide to use your inspiration to update the anti-gravity module.]

[You hold the paintbrush, and the tip of the brush dances on the white paper. As you devote yourself to it, countless beautiful lines are drawn under your pen, forming a beautiful design]

[The new design looks similar to the anti-gravity module on the miracle drawing, but the details are completely different. It is several times more refined and beautiful than the previous rough design.]

[You put down the last stroke, shook your slightly sore wrist, looked up and saw that the sun was setting and it was already evening.]

[You devoted yourself whole day to draw this upgraded version of the anti-gravity module design. 】

[Your skill "Mechanical" level is increased - LV.50]

[You hand this drawing to Shiluwa, who praises it highly after reading it, saying that this is the wonderful design you can draw without any restrictions.]

[She thinks this upgraded anti-gravity module can be used in various designs, and asks you to borrow this design, hoping that you can authorize it to her. She will use it in more designs that she thinks can be used to complete various orders for the Mechanical House.]

[As a reward, you who provide the anti-gravity module design will receive 50% of the profit income of each order. ]

The text on the light screen faded, and an option box popped up to choose yes or no. Ron scratched his head, feeling that this choice was meaningless.

Investing in technology and sharing half of the profits? Sharing half when meeting in person, is there such a good thing in the world?

Isn't this a no-brainer?

He casually clicked "Yes", and the option box on the light screen disappeared, and a new simulated note appeared on it:

[You authorized the design of the anti-gravity module to Xiluwa and the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House.]

[After getting your authorization, Xiluwa worked hard and drew a number of design drawings, ranging from daily props to military orders, all of which can use anti-gravity modules. 】

[Half a month has passed in a hurry. Although it has only been a short time, the Machinery House has still completed several orders. You have received a small amount of money from it, which is enough for you to live a carefree life for a whole month...]

[During this time, you continue to serve as Xiluwa's assistant and learn her mechanical knowledge every day. After half a month, you have completely drained her of her knowledge and she has nothing to teach you.]

[But even so, you still go to the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House every day and use the tools in the Mechanical House to create new blueprints...]

[Today, you went to the machinery house as usual, but just before you arrived at the machinery house, you found a group of Silver Mane Iron Guards surrounding the machinery house.]

[They have a solemn demeanor, are in neat formation, and wear the emblem of Klippel Castle, just like the identification you wore when you were a guard at Klippel Castle.]

.................................................. .........

PS: I am still accumulating energy for the next update, don’t worry, it will only be in the next two days...

Chapter 5 - Cocolia: You made it so hard for me to find you, Ron (5k)

Looking at the words on the light screen, Ron was a little confused and didn't understand what was happening for a moment.

"What's going on... Why did the elite guards of Klipperburg surround the [Perpetual Motion] mechanical house?"

Ron frowned and muttered to himself. These Silver Mane Guards wearing the emblem of Krippleburg were just like Ron before. They were the elite troops directly under Krippleburg and were extremely powerful.

Don't be fooled by Ron's appearance. When he was a guard at Krippleburg, he was very bad at playing games. He worked just for the sake of going home, and had a kind of aesthetic life of just eating and waiting to die. But he was also a leader among the Silver Mane Guards of the same period, and a master who could rank among the top three in the entire army's martial arts exercises.

Although this group of elite iron guards would certainly not all be masters like him, after all, he himself could become a silver-maned lieutenant directly under Klipperburg, leading a team of guards...

But now the Iron Guards who surrounded the entire mechanical house are still the best among the Silver Mane Iron Guards. Some of them have even touched the threshold of embarking on their destiny. In a place like Beloberg, they are absolutely real strong men.

Furthermore, this group of Iron Guards were directly under the command of Klipperburg, so it was impossible for them to be transferred by Garrison Officer Jeppard. They could only have been transferred by the Great Guardian Cocolia...

"Could it be that Cocolia is displeased with her former best friend and suddenly has the urge to kill her, so she decided to kill all of Shiluva and let these Silver Mane Iron Guards capture Shiluva and bring her to the Supreme Court of Beloberg to try her for her past crimes?"

But that shouldn't be the case... According to the original plot of the game, Cocolia doesn't have the heart to care about Shiluwa now——

She is now thinking about how to lead the entire Beloberg to the new world. Theoretically speaking, Cocolia has no interest in Sylvana at all...

In the original work, Cocolia has turned into a world-ripping creature and led monsters to besiege the lower area. When she sees Sylva, she will say "There is no place for you in the new world."

Cocolia is a woman who is only Shiluwa's best friend on the surface. Why would he have the time to deal with her?

Ron was puzzled and could only click the light screen to let the simulation continue to see what these iron guards wanted to do...

The text on the light screen faded, and a new picture appeared on it:

Dozens of Silver Mane Iron Guards lined up neatly in front of the [Perpetual Motion] mechanical house. A neatly dressed Silver Mane lieutenant walked forward with a serious expression and raised his hand to knock on the door of the mechanical house.

His thick gauntlets collided with the wooden door of the machinery house, making a dull sound of iron and wood colliding.

The door of the machinery house was pushed open in a few seconds. Shiluwa pushed the door open excitedly, muttering:

"Brother? Why didn't you tell me you came back so suddenly..."

But when she pushed open the door of the machinery house, what she saw was the Iron Guards surrounding the entire [Perpetual Motion] machinery house, and the neatly dressed Silver Mane lieutenants standing in front of her, and the extremely conspicuous Klippelberg emblems on their chests...

The slightly surprised expression on Shiluwana's face faded away, and soon turned into vigilance and indifference.

She stood in front of the door of the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House, holding the entire door, and looked at the group of iron guards vigilantly:

"I thought my brother had suddenly returned from the front... I didn't expect it to be the elite troops of Klippelburg."

"The Mechanical House is a small place that is not suitable for the presence of distinguished guests like you. Tell me, Coco... No, what new instructions did the Great Guardian issue?"

Facing Xiluwa's indifference and vigilance, the unknown silver-maned lieutenant stood there straight and saluted Xiluwa very seriously:

"Hello, we are here on the orders of the Grand Guardian... A few days ago, the designer who completed the design of the 'Automaton Lightweight Form' for the Silver Mane Iron Guard was Sylva Landau... That's you, right?"

Hearing what Lieutenant Silvermane said, Shiluwa was slightly startled - after breaking up with Cocolia, she always felt that Cocolia had become extremely cold.

At that time, she was expelled from the City Builders and the Silver Mane Guards. The excuse used by Cocolia was that she was conducting forbidden research and disregarding people's lives. She deprived Shiluva of her identity for an extremely serious crime.

Although Kokolia did nothing more after depriving Shiluwa of her identity, even Shiluwa herself knew that Kokolia had the right to continue to hold her accountable...

Now seeing the Silver Mane Iron Guards from Klipperburg lined up in front of the mechanical house, she thought Cocolia wanted to settle accounts with her after so many years, but unexpectedly, they were asking about the blueprints...

Shiluwa was a little confused, but because she was facing the Silver Mane Iron Guard from Klipperburg, her tone of response became cold and hard, and one could easily hear the little resentment intertwined in it:

"Yes, that design is indeed mine... Why, does our respected Great Guardian want to label this design, which was ordered by the Silver Mane Iron Guard and did not violate the rules, as a taboo for research?"

But facing Xiluwa's resentment, the silver-maned lieutenant in front of him did not show any radical expression. Instead, he shook his head slightly and said in a friendly manner:

"How can it be a forbidden research? This design is simply a work of genius. After the lightweight automatic robot is produced, it will bring a lot of support to the entire front-line army. You have made a great contribution this time. You may have the opportunity to return to the ranks of city builders and become the chief engineer of the Silver Mane Iron Guard again..."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject:

"But these are not what we came here to ask you... The Great Guardian sent us here to ask you one thing—"

As he spoke, he took out a design drawing of Shiluwa and gently pointed at an extremely delicate design module and the signatures around it, and asked:

"I wonder who this Ron is who provided you with the design of the 'anti-gravity module'?"

"The Great Guardian is very interested in him and hopes that he can join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences and contribute his wisdom to the forefront of science."

The image on the screen faded, and new words appeared on it:

[Faced with the Silver Mane Guard's question, Xiluwa was quite shocked for a moment.]

[Beloberg Academy of Sciences was where she devoted her efforts. When she was the chief engineer of the Silver Mane Iron Guard and a city builder, she worked as a researcher at the Beloberg Academy of Sciences and was at the forefront of science.]

[At that time, when she was studying the Rift, she chose to study the star core, so she was refuted by Cocolia and expelled from the City Builders and Silver Mane Iron Guards...]

[At that time, the Beloberg Academy of Sciences was also shut down by Cocolia because of her involvement. Most of the remaining researchers could only contribute their knowledge to Beloberg University. Many of them even wasted their time and became mediocre for several years before disappearing.]

[But now Cocolia is actually preparing to restart the Beloberg Academy of Sciences - this may represent an attitude that she no longer cares about the past and decides to continue to invest in scientific research;]

[Or did she finally think that studying star cores was no longer taboo and that she needed people to contribute their wisdom in the Academy of Sciences?]

[Faced with these questions, Shiluwa was not clear. ]

[But she knew that no matter what, this choice should be left to Ron himself.]

[So she told the group of guards from Klipperburg that she actually didn't know where you were, and could only tell you everything the guards said the next time they saw you.]

[Although these Iron Guards were obviously not satisfied with Shiluwa's answer, they had no choice but to give up because Shiluwa was so sure that they didn't know where you were. They hoped that Shiluwa could pass on a message to you, telling you that the Great Guardian hoped that you could go to Klipperburg within three days. She hoped to have a good talk with a scholar like you who was at the forefront of science.]

[It was a long time after the Iron Guard left that you dared to cautiously walk out from the shadows of the alley.]

[You knocked on the door of the [Perpetual Motion] mechanical house. Shiluwa opened the door and found it was you. She immediately pulled you into the room and closed the door of the mechanical house like a thief...]

The words on the light screen faded, and a new picture appeared on it:

"You're in big trouble, Ron!"

Sylva closed the door of the machinery house and locked it with two heavy locks. After making sure that the machinery house was now as solid as a copper wall and an iron wall, she dragged Ron to a corner of the machinery house and said in a very low voice:

"Today, a group of Iron Guards came to Klipperburg and said that Cocolia wanted to find you..."

Ron smiled bitterly and shook his head, interrupting Shiluwa's words:

"No need to say more...I saw it."

Ron said helplessly, "Actually, I came here very early today... I just saw these Iron Guards blocking the door of the machinery house, so I hid in the alley nearby and didn't dare to come out until they left..."

Hearing this, Xiluwa was slightly stunned, but soon accepted the situation:

"Come to think of it... You come to work earlier than my boss every day. Theoretically, you should have arrived by then. How could it be such a coincidence that you came shortly after they left..."

Shiluwa muttered, and quickly put the matter behind her, looking at Ron with a serious face:

"Although I really want to ask you why you didn't come with me to face these Iron Guards at that time, but that's not important. Now is not the time to talk about that..."

As she spoke, a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

"The important thing is...Ron, do you want to go to the Belloborg Academy of Sciences?"

The image on the screen faded, and new words appeared on it:

[Shiluwa told you about the past of the Beloberg Academy of Sciences. This is the highest academic institution in the entire Beloberg. There used to be a lot of research that affected the future of Beloberg. Many crises that could destroy Beloberg were supported by these studies.]

[Although it was shut down by Cocolia because of the incident with Shiluva, now that Cocolia hopes you can join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences, it is natural that they are also thinking of restarting the academy...]

[She gave you this choice - do you follow the guidance of the Great Guardian and join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences, or give up this choice and continue to work as her assistant in the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House to do the research you want to do under such poor conditions? ]

[No one can say anything about this matter from your perspective. Only you can make the choice——]

The text on the light screen faded, and options appeared on it:

【1. Join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences.

You think the restart of the Beloberg Academy of Sciences is a sign that Cocolia has come to her senses. Perhaps now Cocolia is gradually realizing the problem of the star core and has decided to restart the once forbidden research.

You know that these studies are the key to saving Beloberg, so you decide to agree to Cocolia's request and join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences.

You will go to Klipperburg within three days to meet the Great Guardian of Beloberg, Cocolia Rand. 】

【2. Refuse to join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences.

You think that the restart of the Beloberg Academy of Sciences is meaningless. Cocolia has been bewitched by the star core, and no one dares to say what she is thinking now.

You are not prepared to take the risk of sending yourself into Cocolia's hands and putting yourself in such a dangerous situation.

You will give up going to Klipperburg, no longer meet the Great Guardian, and continue to live a peaceful life as Shiluwa's assistant. 】

Looking at the two options on the screen, Ron stroked his chin and fell into deep thought for a moment:

"I didn't expect there would be only two opposite options... I guess this choice is the first disagreement in this simulation."

"It seems likely that these two choices will lead to different outcomes. We must make a careful choice..."

The difference between these two options is actually very obvious. Although the surface is about whether to join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences, in fact it is about whether to trust the Great Guardian Cocolia.

Although Cocolia performed well in the last simulation and did not betray in the final situation but worked hard for the Second Empire of Yalilo, that was not a normal situation.

Although Ron didn't know why Cocolia behaved that way in the beginning, the reason why Cocolia became so normal afterwards was actually because he and Natasha made a vow to become friends and successfully obtained the double entry "Panacea".

Under the effect of the "panacea", the star core cannot affect people's hearts. As a city builder selected from the entire Beloberg, Cocolia, who is not bewitched by the star core, will naturally not have any problems...

Moreover, there is a small trap between these two options——

That is, if you choose to join the Beloberg Academy of Sciences, you must contact Cocolia no matter what.

You know, Cocolia is definitely one of the villains in Sambo's script. If Ron contacts Cocolia and is noticed by Sambo, this simulation will have the same ending as the last one...

After careful consideration, for safety reasons, we can only choose option number 2...

Ron pondered for a long time, and finally chose option 2 and gave up joining the Beloberg Academy of Sciences.

The option box on the light screen faded, and a new note appeared on it:

[You know that joining the Beloberg Academy of Sciences is just a gamble, and you decide to give up joining the Beloberg Academy of Sciences. ]
