Chapter 365

~5 min read 894 words

Bronya jumps up excitedly.

"And after the Star Rail is normal, very soon, within a month, the IPC will arrive."

"Too, too good!"

Bronya is so excited she wants to give Lu Shu a kiss.

Only Cocolia feels more and more that something is wrong.

Even if the Star Rail is lit up by the IPC, they have no reason to arrive so quickly.

Come to check the situation?

No!

World-Weary Novel Group…

Something is wrong!

"It's just that, this will be…… the 'Special Debt Collection Team' of the Strategic Investment Department."

Lu Shu curls his lips and laughs evilly, splashing a basin of cold water on Duck's head......

"Debt…… debt collection?"

Bronya's brain is in a mess.

This name doesn't look like a good thing.

"Debt? Did Belobog owe a debt? Could it be, …… the architects from 700 years ago?"

Cocolia is also dumbfounded, but soon realizes something.

"Yes!"

"Seven hundred years ago, after the Stellaron landed on Jarilo-VI, the IPC people who were stationed here foresaw the impending crisis and left one after another."

"But before leaving, they found the 'Architects' who insisted on guarding their homeland and provided a huge sum of money for disaster avoidance."

"It was with that money that Belobog was able to build such high walls."

"Even the R&D funding for the first batch of automatic machines was drawn from that money."

After the mythic war, the planet 'Jarilo-VI', named after the God of War of Spring Jarilo, ushered in rapid development.

From slash-and-burn to interstellar travel.

However, this consumed a lot of the planet's already scarce resources.

Soon, the 'Stellaron' fell from the sky.

After that, the cold wave arrived suddenly, and Everwinter descended!

The 'Saint' Plamia used this substantial sum of money to establish Belobog, the last bastion of humanity.

Subsequently, Plamia went deep underground to mine geomarrow ore.

Then converted it into various energy sources through the solar furnace to provide warmth and energy for the entire underground and upper district.

Since then, Belobog has been divided into upper and lower districts.

"With interest."

"For 700 years, that is an astronomical figure."

"So astronomical that I don't know how to read that string of numbers."

"Let's put it this way, I'm afraid hundreds of 'Star-Destroying Ships' wouldn't make up for that hole."

Lu Shu shrugs.

"This……"

"This is too outrageous?!"

"Hundreds of Star-Destroying Ships?"

"If the Stellaron hadn't been eradicated, wouldn't this debt just be written off?"

Bronya is confused.

"Hmm! According to my information. The repayment period agreed upon by the architects and the company investors at the time was 280 years."

"But less than a hundred years later, Jarilo-VI's connection with the entire galaxy was completely cut off."

"So, the IPC believed that Jarilo-VI had suffered a destructive blow and the civilization no longer existed, so that investment was evaluated as a bad debt."

"Once the 'Stellaron' is eradicated and the 'Star Rail' is re-lit, the 'IPC' will discover that Belobog has survived until now."

Lu Shu says.

"So, naturally, they will send people to collect the debt."

Cocolia feels a huge headache.

A difficult choice!

Obviously, the IPC is not someone easy to talk to.

If the debt is delayed for too long, they will probably take 'strong measures' directly.

"Can we fight?"

Bronya asks.

"Hehe! That is a huge organization spanning the entire galaxy; if they want to suppress Belobog, it's easy."

Lu Shu shakes his head.

"Then……"

Big Duck wants to ask if Lu Shu can, but finally closes her mouth.

He has no obligation to help them fight the IPC.

A dilemma.

Cocolia sighs.

Eradicate the Stellaron, and the IPC will arrive.

And their price is to repay the huge loan; what if they can't pay it back? Then they will probably be annexed.

At that time, the people of Belobog will lose their freedom.

Become subordinates of the IPC.

If they don't eradicate the Stellaron, then the problem returns to the starting point!

Can't go forward!

Can't retreat either!

"Then, what is Mr. Lv's strategy?"

Cocolia sighs.

She has already prepared to pay the price of her life for her past mistakes.

But at this moment, she doesn't want to die anymore.

She dies!

This 'astronomical' burden will fall on her daughter.

Let her carry it for a while.

"I know a person from the Genius Society…… hmm, anyway, someone very powerful, whose research is 'Life Creation'."

"The most lacking thing in Belobog right now is 'food'."

"I will find her and be responsible for changing Belobog's ecology."

Lu Shu says.

"You mean, being able to grow plants suitable for growing in ice and snow?"

Cocolia is shocked.

Isn't food what Belobog lacks?

Lack of food, they don't even dare to have children.

If this continues, the cold wave won't destroy them, they will perish themselves.

"Belobog is a thorny bad debt, no one should be willing to come."

"The one who comes will probably be 'Topaz'."

"If it's her, it will be easier to talk, after all, her hometown is similar to Belobog."

"As long as you move her, slow repayment is not difficult."

"Belobog also has the 'Creation Engine', find it, fix it, and after the Stellaron is eradicated, you can repair the desolate world."

"In a few decades, mountains, gullies, and snowfields will be leveled into plains."

"Combined with cold-resistant crops and forests."
