Chapter 48: Boulder Town Travel Guide

"Because of 400 power stones i have release one more extra chapter with regular chapters" Back to the story

"Let me introduce you, buddy. This is Oleg, the leader of Wildfire. He's helped us a lot in the lower city these past few days," Dan Heng introduced to Gu Tang.

"Yeah, Wildfire has been helping us look for you," March 7th also said to Gu Tang.

"But they didn't find me, right? We met by chance in the mining area?" Gu Tang asked in confusion.

His words pierced Oleg's heart like an arrow.

"Well, you could say that we came to the mining area to help Wildfire," Dan Heng said pragmatically.

This time, Stelle spoke up, "So it was mostly Wildfire's credit, not really the uncle's, right?"

Stelle's words were like a machine gun, shattering Oleg's pride.

"Uh… well… uh…" Oleg was sweating, wiping his forehead.

Then, he saw Seele, and a light bulb went off in his head: "Seele! Yes, I've decided to assign Seele to join your mission. She is our strongest warrior in Wildfire."

"Huh?" Seele was taken aback.

"Don't be so surprised, Seele. They've helped Wildfire so much these past few days. Since we didn't help them find their friend, we should repay them in other ways," Oleg said reasonably.

His words were logical and smoothly delivered.

But Seele still suspected he was just saving face by pushing her out.

"Besides, Seele, I've heard about the Stellaron from them too." Oleg's expression turned serious. "If they can truly succeed, they might end the suffering of this planet. The people of the lower city have nowhere else to go. At this point, I'd rather bet on them."

"...Alright, I'll bet on them too then," Seele said slowly.

Gu Tang looked at Seele, "Looks like we can continue to fight side by side, Seele."

"It's Seele!" The correction about her name would likely repeat several times.

"Since the robots have been cleared… how do you plan to wrap up this riot?" Dan Heng asked Oleg.

He was referring to the conflict between the miners and the wanderers.

Bronya also looked over.

Oleg smiled and looked at the Wildfire members present, "What do you think? Any ideas?"

"We…" The Wildfire members looked at each other, then at the wanderers who had fought alongside them earlier, "We think… not all wanderers are bad…"

"Then it's decided. Exile all wanderers involved in the riot, but the others can stay and continue working." Oleg nodded, "We will also deploy more people here to ensure this doesn't happen again."

"Thank you, Mr. Oleg," Bronya sighed in relief.

"Hmph, since the leader said so, let it be," Seele crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

"Phew—finally a conclusion. Today was tiring," March 7th stretched.

"But fruitful. We reunited with our buddy and gained clues about the Stellaron," Dan Heng said.

Gu Tang looked at Bronya, "See you tomorrow, Bronya."

"It's Bronya… wait, you actually got it right," Bronya was stunned for a moment.

Then she sighed again, "Mother never mentioned anything about the Stellaron. If sealing it can end all disasters, I sincerely hope it exists…"

Gu Tang looked into her eyes, "Coming to the lower city wasn't so bad, was it?"

Bronya glared at him, "It would be better if you weren't around."

Dan Heng: "That level of stubbornness is about 0.5 Esters."

March 7th: "Don't use the station master as a unit of measurement…"

---------------------------------------

Gu Tang followed March 7th and the others to Boulder Town.

"So this is the underground city, quite interesting," Gu Tang said, chewing on food.

He walked down the street, holding a skewer in one hand and a drink in the other, like a tourist.

Which was pretty much the case.

Stelle, Dan Heng, and March 7th walked beside him.

"Look, that's Miss Natasha's clinic," March 7th pointed to a clinic.

"Oh, the female doctor at the mining area entrance," Gu Tang nodded.

They had met once.

"Miss Natasha is skilled, gentle, and beautiful. She's very popular here," March 7th continued to introduce.

Dan Heng rubbed his chin, "I always felt she wasn't as simple as she seemed…"

"Dan Heng, you're too suspicious. Can't people have more trust in each other?" March 7th pointed at Dan Heng.

Dan Heng remained expressionless, "We were tricked by the highest leader of this planet."

"By the way… what is Stelle doing?" Gu Tang looked at Stelle.

Stelle was rummaging through a trash can in the corner of the street.

"For some reason, Stelle seems very interested in trash cans…" March 7th was also speechless.

Dan Heng didn't mind, "Everyone has different hobbies, it's normal, no need to intervene."

"But this hobby isn't normal!" March 7th retorted.

Stelle walked over with a black garbage bag.

She held up the garbage bag like it was a trophy, "Look, a perfect bag of trash! For you, Gu Tang."

"Uh… it might come in handy, let's keep it for now," Gu Tang put the bag into his storage pouch.

March 7th took out a cleaning spray and sprayed Stelle, "Stelle, you're a beautiful girl, pay more attention to your image."

"Trash can beauty, don't you think it's a great selling point?" Stelle puffed out her chest, hands on hips, looking a bit proud.

March 7th shook her head coldly, "I don't think so."

The group continued to stroll through Boulder Town.

They came to a spacious building.

Compared to the low and monotonous houses around, this neon-lit building was quite luxurious.

The neon lights showed a symbol of two boxing gloves.

"This is… a boxing gym?" Gu Tang looked up at the glowing neon sign.

March 7th nodded, "Yes, this is Boulder Town's fight club. Dan Heng has fought here before."

"I don't think it needs to be emphasized so many times, March," Dan Heng said somewhat helplessly.

Stelle looked dissatisfied, "For some reason, I was banned after only one fight. Isn't that too much?"

Dan Heng glanced at her, "You hit someone with a bat and sent them flying into the audience, not having to pay is already good…"

At this moment, Dan Heng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He looked at March 7th and Gu Tang, having a good idea.

It was time to make up for the lost goodwill over the past two days.
