Whether it is the bustling reconstruction scene here, or the people in the main city who are ready to fight the IPC to the end at any time, they are all different from her hometown.
"I..." Topaz opened her mouth, not knowing how to start.
She realized that she had made a serious mistake.
She overestimated herself, underestimated Jarilo, and used her hometown's experience as a universal template.
She should have realized that the City of Belobog was completely different from her hometown when she was collecting intelligence!
------------------------
Topaz was in a mixed mood.
Numby, who was beside her, saw it's master's mood and rubbed Topaz's heels with it's nose.
The comfort of the pet calmed her down.
She turned to Bronya and said, "Such a big surprise is really unexpected."
"My hometown did not have a determined leader, and the people gave up the idea of saving themselves early on."
"And your civilization has persisted in the snow for seven hundred years… It's really admirable."
The audience didn't expect that after Bronya's showdown, Topaz actually said this,
"So, you are willing to take back your previous decision? As for the debt, we will definitely find a way to repay it slowly!" Bronya's eyes lit up and asked.
"Unfortunately, the decision to take back Jarilo was approved by the Interastral Peace Corporation's top management. Even if I intend to overturn this decision, it is difficult to convince the people above." Topaz shook her head and said regretfully.
Just when everyone was disappointed, she suddenly changed the subject and looked at Himeko.
"Unless…"
Himeko smiled knowingly and nodded. "Don't worry, Miss Topaz, I am willing to represent the Astral Express and bet on the reputation of the Nameless to guarantee on behalf of Jarilo-IV."
Topaz smiled and said, "Great! This should work. The next reporting process and possible subsequent accountability… I will take responsibility!"
Topaz was actually persuaded.
It seems that Topaz is not a bad person.
The audience were surprised. They were also very pleased that Belobog had such an ending.
And the meaning behind this sentence. It is also quite interesting.
Belobog has played all its cards, but it cannot shake the decision of the Interastral Peace Corporation's top management.
But with the guarantee of the Astral Express from Himeko, can the Interastral Peace Corporation change its opinion?
All of a sudden, the Astral Express and the Nameless Guests became more mysterious.
Fans suddenly discovered that even though they have watched Honkai: Star Rail for so long, they still don't know much about them.
Just when everyone was daydreaming.
Topaz expressed her feelings in such an environment.
After seeing Belobog, her original idea changed.
If her hometown had the courage to face the disaster on its own at that time.
That story: The children of her hometown may not have their life destiny determined at birth.
Geniuses like her are rare.
And what about the life of ordinary people as Interastral Peace Corporation employees?
When such sincere words were spoken, the audience's contradictory and complex affection for Topaz was explained.
Topaz has never been a bad person from beginning to end.
When you don't know her well, you will think she is very tough, but this toughness is due to cognitive bias.
In Topaz's cognition, the Interastral Peace Corporation is so powerful, who would choose to risk their life for freedom against such a huge power with any powerful background or support from other huge factions.
Her hometown has chosen this path.
Naturally, Topaz would also think that this is Jarilo's way out.
But Belobog eventually influenced Topaz.
In that moment, the audience has a deeper understanding of Topaz's previous overbearing actions.
...
: Topaz is not a bad person…
: It seems that she really wants to save Jarilo. In her opinion, this plan is indeed the only way.
: That's right. Activating the factory is actually to leave a bargaining chip for Belobog so that it can negotiate suitable conditions with the Interastral Peace Corporation.
: And Topaz can reflect and correct her cognitive bias. I think this point is amazing!
: Yes, her identity and status are very high, and she has to take responsibility herself.
...
As the audience's favorable impression of Topaz increased, the plot on the screen had come to an end.
The crisis of Jarilo-VI was resolved, and Topaz left alone, ready to report to the Interastral Peace Corporation.
During the chat, Himeko revealed an important piece of information.
"We should be thankful that Miss Topaz took over the Jarilo project...."
"Otherwise, the development of things may be even more unpredictable."
Stelle and March 7th looked at each other, Stelle scratched his head and said in surprise, "I thought Topaz was tough enough."
Himeko laughed.
She explained to the two, "The Strategic Investment Department has gathered the elites within the Interastral Peace Corporation, and most of them are very tough."
"If it were them, things wouldn't have ended so easily."
"Conflict is almost inevitable."
Listening to Himeko's words, the audience, whose impression of the Interastral Peace Corporation had improved, suddenly became alert.
They began to imagine what Topaz's colleagues would be like and how tough they would be.
Fortunately, this time, Xia Wen did not let the audience imagine for too long.
After the Astral Express visited Belobog again, they went to rest.
At the same time, in the ice and snow, Topaz stood in place, with one hand on her ear, listening to the message coming from inside.
"…In summary, Topaz, the department will impose the following penalties on you:"
"The position level will be downgraded from P45 to P44, and the basic salary will be adjusted accordingly."
"Cancel all incentive plans you participate in during a period, including stock options and performance bonuses."
"You will need to submit an additional report to Diamond regarding this incident."
"If you have any objections, you can appeal."
The strange voice under the effect of the voice changer explained the internal punishment of the Interastral Peace Corporation.
The audience who were still discussing Topaz on the barrage immediately pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
Topaz closed her eyes and said calmly, "I have no objection."
"Got it. Does anyone else want to say anything?"
After a moment of silence, the strange voice sounded again: "Then let's adjourn the meeting."
Topaz sighed in relief.
Just as she was about to close the communication, another strange voice that was obviously different from the one who just spoke sounded.
"Wow, you're lucky. You messed up such a project, but your rank was only demoted by one level. It seems that the seniors above you are really taking care of you."
"Oh, they are all offline, then… I will turn off this rubbish translator."
The voice suddenly changed and became a young male voice.
"Aventurine? Why are you still here?" Topaz said helplessly.
"What do you mean, I can't be here? I'm not your superior… Oh, no, now I am."
"Sorry, I haven't adapted to this new identity yet."
Aventurine's tone was playful.
Topaz replied bluntly, "What's the matter? Just say it."
"Oh, nothing."
"I just care about you. After all, I've said there's not much money to be made from the Jarilo case. Why bother getting involved?"
"In our line of work, you can't be too kind, otherwise, your path will become narrower and narrower."
The playful voice and the ambiguous words.
For the audience, just hearing these words, Aventurine's image suddenly became like a brainless villain in a novel.
At this time, he came to mock Topaz.
Especially the last sentence of advice not to be too kind, it sounded particularly harsh.
All of a sudden. The imaginative audience imagined the internal competition in the Interastral Peace Corporation.
The first impression of Aventurine also became worse.
...
: As expected, the Interastral Peace Corporation is full of internal struggles!
: It's so infuriating. No matter what, Topaz is a woman with moral conscience, but she is blamed by such a conscienceless capitalist.
: Hey, I still have expectations for the Strategic Investment Department because of Topaz. Now it seems that Topaz is really the kindest one.
: Aventurine! I remember your name. Don't let me see you in XX in the future!
: I support Topaz to take sole control of the Strategic Investment Department!
...
As the barrage of comments flew, the performance of the Aventurine was not over yet.
"The real thing is, when you were playing a game with your friends at Jarilo VI, Diamond got the head of the foundry logistics department support for a mission."
"I missed today's round table meeting because of this." Aventurine said slowly, and when he talked about dealing with the boss, his tone suddenly became a little excited.
"Taravan?" Topaz also became serious.
"Yes, the famous Taravan, a member of the seven-member board! His vote is on us."
"Do you understand? It's us! Not the marketing department. Osvaldo can't laugh this time."
"But, Topaz, Diamond is also a benefactor to you and me."
"You messed up Jarilo by doing this, which made the Strategic Investment Department feel a little embarrassed."
Aventurine revealed a lot of information, but the last sentence made his image plummet again.
This left Topaz feeling speechless.
"Well, now that you understand, let's continue; I have a big deal on hand that concerns the entire department!"
"I'm still in need of a reliable project manager, my friend, you're the one."
Aventurine's tone was ups and downs, frivolous and exaggerated.
"What is the case that you would even asl me to co-operate?" Topaz also seized the opportunity and hit back.
"Penacony." Aventurine said with a smile.
"What!?" Topaz suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"That's right, I like this kind of reaction."
"Diamond finally chose you? I thought it would be someone more experienced. That deal needs someone at least P46 or above to come forward!" Topaz asked with a frown.
"The people in The Family are not quite right, but the Interastral Peace Corporation's methods are not limited to trading. At this time, it's our turn to take action."
"Think about it carefully, maybe you can make up for it."
That was all Aventurine said.
Topaz did not reply immediately.
In the snowstorm, she hung up the call and looked at Belobog not far away.
"I hope… my choice this time is not wrong."
The screen went black.
MiHoYo's logo appeared.
The future market episode officially ended.
The audience who were immersed in the huge amount of information went crazy.
The timespan of more than 70 minutes.
Among the current serious dramas of, it is already short.
The confrontation between the Astral Express and the Interastral Peace Corporation, Belobog's pursuit of freedom without fear of sacrifice, made the audience very excited.
The conflict was revealed from the very beginning and kept reversing until the end.
In this process, a large number of characters were established through a short plot.
Different opinions of various people in Belobog, between the overworld and underworld, and Topaz and the Interastral Peace Corporation.
In just one episode, the audience had a lot to remember.
...
: Not enough! Damn, every ending makes us feel anxious!
: Penacony looks much more difficult than Jarilo! It seems that no one knows what will happen!
: Are all these people in the Strategic Investment Department named after gems?
: Astral Express, Interastral Peace Corporation, there are too many things I want to see! Please, one episode a week is not enough!
: Aventurine is really bad, using Jarilo's matter to threaten Topaz to help him!
: Topaz is good! Aventurine is bad!
: Except for Topaz, everyone else in the Strategic Investment Department is probably bad!
: Let Aventurine suffer a heavy loss in Penacony! This kind of man is full of tricks, calls you a friend, and betrays you faster than anyone else!
: That's right! I get angry when I see this kind of person.
