"Suddenly realized the gold content of Miss Heita being able to meet the Doctor."

"Just saying, could Lu Ka's hallucinations really be because of this reason?"

"Can't be sure, but it's not impossible."

"Speaking of which, shouldn't he go see a doctor in this situation?"

"Indeed, no matter what the illness is, you have to see a doctor. You can't guess it by yourself."

"But the next match is starting soon. Is there enough time?"

"If there's no time, he'll just have to finish this match first before going."

【Lu Ka listens to Kafka Mama's words and is also a bit uneasy, saying: "The more you say, the more scared I get. There's still a bright future waiting for me to burn; I can't fall!"】

【Subsequently, Lu Ka stabilizes his mood and says seriously: "The next match is a key match, and this opponent... can be considered an old acquaintance."】

【Thinking of Topaz, whom he saw on the scoreboard earlier, Lu Ka's tone is a bit complicated.】

【Stelle asks curiously: "You've met Topaz?"】

【Lu Ka shakes his head and says: "Actually, I haven't seen her in person. But there shouldn't be anyone in Belobog who doesn't know her, right?"】

【Kafka Mama hears Topaz's name and also shows a look of longing, saying: "Miss Topaz, the cutest one among the 【Ten Stonehearts】, I like her very much."】

The live stream.

"Hahaha, it's clear that Miss Topaz has a very good image in the hearts of many people at the IPC."

"Of course, Miss Topaz is beautiful and kind-hearted; she can be considered unique in the profit-first IPC."

"I'm the same as Miss Kafka Mama! Hehehe!"

"It's as if I don't like Miss Topaz."

"It's just that, looking at Lu Ka, his attitude towards Topaz seems a bit strange."

"I reckon that when Topaz was in Belobog, she still made the people of Belobog somewhat wary. After all, as the 【Debt Collector】, Miss Topaz's arrival certainly wouldn't be a good thing for Belobog."

"Thinking about it, that's true. But although we don't know exactly what happened, judging from Topaz's words at the end, it was because of a favor from the Astral Express that things didn't go to extremes."

【In the game's story, Lu Ka smiles bitterly: "No offense, Miss Kafka Mama, I don't like the company. They almost turned my hometown into an asset that could be packaged and sold."】

【Kafka Mama explains: "Mr. Lu Ka, the company is a huge group. It's easy to label people, but in the end, every person we come into contact with is a living being of flesh and blood."】

【"I am also a member of the company's industry. Do you hate me too?"】

【Lu Ka listens to Kafka Mama's words, nods thoughtfully, and says: "I spoke without thinking. Please forgive my recklessness, Miss Kafka Mama."】

【"What you said is right... what kind of person Topaz is, I should confirm it myself."】

The live stream.

"Reality is indeed as Miss Kafka Mama said. The IPC is just too big, and the employees are countless. You can't just hate the company's actions and then map-cannon everyone for it."

"Indeed, judging from the company people mentioned and who have appeared so far, Topaz is already considered very kind. If we only count the Ten Stonehearts, judging from that PV, Topaz is simply the easiest one to get along with."

"Although only three of the Ten Stonehearts have appeared so far, judging from that PV, the Ten Stonehearts are really not simple people. Topaz can at least communicate in a friendly way."

"However, if Aventurine and Jade can get along for a long time and get closer, they can also be relatively trusted, but compared to Topaz, they lack some friendliness."

"What do these count as? If you ask me, compared to that beast in the Marketing Department, the Ten Stonehearts can all be considered great kind people."

"That guy can also be called a beast? Beasts probably wouldn't agree."

Jarilo-VI.

Belobog.

Qliphoth Fort.

Bronya listens to what Lu Ka says in the game, and her heart also palpitates at that event that hasn't happened yet.

The strength of the IPC had already revealed the tip of the iceberg in the previous game story, but even so, it is not something the current Belobog can contend with.

(In the end, we still have to rely on the Nameless of the Astral Express...)

Thinking of this, Bronya's heart is filled with helplessness and bitterness.

After Topaz mentioned this matter about Belobog in the previous game story, Bronya also went to the sealed archives and found relevant records.

If the company really sent someone to collect debts, this would be a huge debt that Belobog could not escape.

Somewhere in the galaxy.

Topaz looks at the game's story and smiles slightly, not caring about Lu Ka's attitude.

Rather, she is already used to this kind of attitude. Being able to become one of the Ten Stonehearts, Topaz's mentality and ability are absolutely extremely strong, so naturally, she won't be affected by these one-sided views.

Moreover, if it is as Lu Ka said, combined with the situation mentioned in the Penacony epilogue earlier, Topaz can basically understand his attitude, so she won't care about the words of a young man.

【In the game's story, before stepping onto the arena, Lu Ka thinks about his next opponent, Topaz, and ponders: (Topaz... the representative of the company's participation. Actually, I can't say I hate her. I heard that it was this Miss Topaz who gave the grace period... Maybe she isn't a bad person.)】

【(But I have an instinctive fear of those high-level executives in the company who have means. No, I can't let fear overwhelm me!)】

【(Since we've become opponents, I must let her see our strength... I can't lose to her!)】

【With this mentality, Lu Ka, Stelle, and Kafka Mama head towards the arena.】

【After configuring the team and the newly acquired tactical manual, the game screen also arrives at the arena of the Jingfeng ship.】

【Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Teacher Jimi (remote puppet) smiles: "The two sides facing off next can be said to have long-standing grievances! Before the battle even begins, the arena is already full of gunpowder!"】

The live stream.

"Good grief, Jimi also knows about the matter between Belobog and the company?"

"Don't forget! Jimi is an employee of the IPC. Since he is to be the host, he must have understood relevant information."

"Ha, he's really dutiful! I just don't know if, facing Topaz, a high-level executive of the company, Jimi will take the opportunity to suck up?! Hehehe."

"Probably not. After all, although Topaz is a high-level executive, she is not in the same department as Jimi."

"Hehehe, I also want to suck up to Miss Topaz... hehehe."

"You'd better be talking about sucking up."

【In the game's story, Jimi introduces: "The blue side is the representative team from Belobog—【Iron Arm】 Lu Ka!"】

【"The red side is the debt settlement expert from the IPC—【Debt Collector】 Topaz!"】

【Following Jimi's introduction, Lu Ka and Stelle, as well as Topaz and the company employees and mechs beside her, also appear on the game screen.】

【Looking at Lu Ka, Topaz smiles: "I didn't expect people from Jarilo-VI to start being active in the galaxy. I'm very happy to see you in this Wardance Ceremony."】

【Lu Ka says seriously: "I'm also looking forward to this match, Miss Topaz! This is a good opportunity to show you the dignity of us Belobog people."】

【Stelle looks at Topaz and also greets: "Long time no see, but why did you come to participate in the Wardance Ceremony?"】

【Topaz smiles: "This is a grand event held once every few Amber Eras. As a friendly state of the Xianzhou Alliance, the company naturally has to attend."】

The live stream.

"Good grief, I didn't expect to learn the cycle of the Wardance Ceremony from Miss Topaz. I can only say that it's worthy of being the Xianzhou people; this cycle is quite long."

"After all, they are long-lived species. It's understandable."

"Although the time of each Amber Era is different, even for the shortest Amber Era that has appeared so far, for many people, it is a lifetime. So you can understand how long this cycle is."

"Sigh, in a way, being able to catch up with such a Wardance Ceremony of the Xianzhou can be considered lucky, especially for short-lived people."

Astral Express.

Parlor Car.

Miss Sushang looks at the cycle of the Wardance Ceremony mentioned by Topaz in the game and also smiles: "It seems we are still very lucky to be able to catch up with such a grand event."

Following Dan Heng says from the side: "Actually, the Penacony Harmony Ceremony in the previous game story was similar. Although it's not held once every few Amber Eras, it is also held at the beginning of each Amber Era."

【In the game's story, Topaz looks at Stelle, who is traveling with Lu Ka, and smiles: "I was really surprised to hear that you became the coach of the Belobog representative team."】

【Speaking of this, Topaz's tone seems to be pointing at something: "Astral Express, you helped Belobog mediate the debt problem before, and now you are helping them participate in the Wardance Ceremony... haha, the child is not young anymore, it's time to learn to walk by yourself."】

【Lu Ka says solemnly: "Belobog people have always lived in a difficult environment, and we children have long learned to walk our own path."】

【Topaz listens to Lu Ka's imposing words and chuckles: "Hmph, big talk. I have no malice towards Belobog."】

【"I just want to confirm whether the Belobog people really have the ability to stand up on their own after escaping that debt crisis."】

【"If you only rely on the kindness of big shots to get through the difficulties, then you will never become a truly free person, but will only become a slave who has been granted the right to freedom."】

The live stream.

"I have to say, Miss Topaz's words sound really harsh."

"But it is indeed a fact. Belobog still has a lot to do to truly stand firm in the galaxy."

"Topaz's words sound a bit unpleasant, but if you think about it carefully, there is really no malice. Instead, it is a warning to Belobog."

"More than just no malice, it can even be said to be concern."

"After all, from the previous point of view, Belobog's business was handled by Miss Topaz. Later, ending in such a way, Topaz also wants to know if Belobog can truly stand tall in the galaxy."

"However, Lu Ka is after all coming to such an environment that is completely different from the past for the first time, and has seen many new things that exceed his past cognition. Having the Trailblazer's guidance can also let Lu Ka adapt as soon as possible. After all, Lu Ka was obviously depressed by the environment of the Xianzhou before."

"This is also helpless. After all, Lu Ka is after all just a young man. But precisely because of this, Lu Ka's future, and Belobog's future, are truly worth looking forward to."

Jarilo-VI.
