Chapter 88: Credit Points Flew Away

Perspective shift: Starry Dome Train

At the same time, Heimu and his party were gathered around a massive, ultra‑high‑definition Light Screen, as if watching an immersive holographic movie.

The screen was streaming live the chaotic scene in the Space Station corridor.

When they saw Star hit the glass like a fly being swatted, then slide down—

"Puff— Hahahahahaha!!!"

Chang Ye Yue was the first to lose composure; her crimson eyes overflowed with joyful tears, and she even exaggeratedly pounded the armrest of the nearby sofa, "Well done! How does she manage to step precisely onto every minefield and keep dancing? Does she think she's playing a tsundere heroine in some otome game? Hahaha!"

Xi Lian slightly furrowed her brows, her pink short hair swaying gently with her head shake, and a hint of helplessness in her azure eyes: "Miss Star… she just… wanted to help? Though her method was a bit… overly enthusiastic. Seeing her get knocked away, it's a bit pitiful…"

She is innately kind, so she can't help feeling sympathy.

Bai Hang still lay on the nearby table with a sallow face, weakly lifting his eyelids to glance at the Light Screen, and murmured feebly, "Um… don't mention it… still a bit nauseous…"

Clearly, the Immortal Salted Fish's Remaining Might has not fully dissipated.

A Xing, meanwhile, sat in the corner, cradling a bucket of freshly prepared Bubble Noodles exuding a rich spicy beef flavor, eating with full concentration, the "sizzle‑sizzle" sound unusually clear.

The fierce clash on the Light Screen seemed less captivating than the noodles in her bowl.

Only when Black Tower shouted "idiot, dimwit" did her chewing pause for half a second; her gold eyes, lacking any sparkle, glanced at the Star hugging Jizi's thigh on the screen, then she lowered her head again, continuing to focus on her food, as if saying, "Okay, noted, it doesn't affect my meal."

Seated at the head of the table, Black Curtain Lady maintained her elegant posture, her violet‑black eyes calmly fixed on the Light Screen.

Watching Xing Na's disheveled, shelter‑seeking state, she felt little stir in her heart, after all this was the result of her meticulous guidance.

Only upon seeing Black Tower's expression, so angry he seemed about to explode on the spot, did she shake her head.

(He's losing it…)

She thought silently to herself, (Didn't expect Star's Execution Power and Comprehension Power to be so… unique. Now the hatred is stretched a bit too far.)

Seeing Xing Na's miserable appearance on the screen, Black Curtain surprisingly felt a barely noticeable hint of "guilt".

She lifted a cup of red tea delivered by the system, took a gentle sip, and said to the Star on the Light Screen in her heart:

(Hard work, Star Core Essence.)

(I've recorded this "grievance".)

(Later… I'll find a chance to compensate you.)

Of course, what form this "compensation" will take and when it will be fulfilled is another matter.

Hei Ta Kong Jian Zhan Zou Lang

Black Tower suppressed the urge to dismantle the Star Core Essence on the spot, and in as concise language as possible explained the situation to the arriving Jizi and Walther.

She mentioned a hidden "Behind the Scenes Black Hand" that pulls the strings, and how it spread the absurd rumor that she has a "sister", even exploiting Star's… this…

Her gaze again slashed fiercely at the Star trying to hide behind Jizi, her chest heaving a few times; the rich lexicon capable of describing myriad cosmic phenomena seemed instantly emptied, leaving only two blunt words she could squeeze out between her teeth:

"... and this idiot!"

Jizi, after hearing it, was momentarily speechless.

She glanced at the stone‑cold Walther, then at the Star trembling like a quail, feeling the development had far exceeded ordinary conflict, resembling more a… a personal, extremely malicious prank against Black Tower?

Star seemed to draw a sliver of courage from Jizi's soothing, or rather, her quirky mind snagged some "key evidence".

She jerked her head up, as if seizing a last lifeline, fumbling on her body before pulling out the Black Card whose edges flickered with dark‑purple light!

"Wait! Black Tower Lady! Look! This is your sister… ah no, the 'sister' who gave me the Running Errand Fee! This should prove I didn't lie, right?!"

Star held the Black Card aloft, as if it were a holy relic to cleanse her injustice.

Before she could finish, Black Tower snatched the Black Card in one swift move.

She was even too lazy to use ordinary equipment; a faint glow emanated from her fingertips, and her potent will, like a scanning ray, instantly enveloped the card, performing a thorough structural and energy analysis.

(Hmph, a forged credential? Or some kind of tracking beacon? Let me see your true face…)

Just as Black Tower focused on decoding the card, the corridor fell into an oddly silent moment—

"Ding‑dong~"

A crisp, pleasant chime suddenly rang from the personal tablet Aisida had been clutching in her arms.

In this environment where a pin could be heard, it sounded especially jarring.

Swish!

Everyone's gaze, including the already irate Black Tower, instinctively focused on Aisida.

Aisida jumped at the sudden stare, especially Black Tower's gaze that seemed able to freeze a soul, causing her hand to tremble and nearly drop the tablet.

She stared blankly down, looking at the screen, and saw a notification pop‑up from the Space Station's financial system, marked as highest priority, clearly displayed.

Her eyes flicked quickly over the notification, then she covertly glanced at the Black Tower, whose face was as black as a pot bottom, rolled her throat and uttered a meaningless syllable: "Ah…"

Black Tower keenly sensed the unease in Aisida's expression.

She temporarily set aside the Black Card analysis, frowned and asked, "What?"

Aisida's hand holding the tablet trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Black… Black Tower Lady… your… your private account just had— a hundred million Credit Points… transferred to… to the Starry Dome Train's public account…"

The air seemed to be sucked out in that instant.

Jizi, Walther, San Yue Qi, and even the Star who had just gotten up from the ground all wore stunned expressions.

One hundred million Credit Points?

For an individual, that's an astronomical sum!

A twitch involuntarily rippled at Black Tower's mouth corner, an extremely ominous premonition pouring over her like icy water.

Aisida, however, hadn't finished; she saw a line of small footnote beneath the screen, her complexion turning even paler, her voice growing softer: "And… there's more…"

"What… else?!"

Black Tower's voice was almost a low growl from her throat.

Aisida was so terrified she could barely speak, her trembling hands handed the tablet to Black Tower as if it were a hot‑potato.
