Chapter 16
The Path to Continuing the Race

“Commander?”

Pela looked at the handsome man in front of her with a hint of confusion. He was like a god descended from the heavens, his bearing noble and valiant, as if he had stepped out of a myth.

So, the man in front of her was the superior of the robot who could subdue mythical beasts?

If that strange robot could subdue mythical beasts, what kind of terrifying existence was this man in front of her?

Could it be that the myths of Belobog were true?

Numerous thoughts swirled in Pela's mind.

While Pela and Lingke were observing Luo Chen, Luo Chen was also observing them.

With just a glance, Luo Chen matched the two girls in front of him with their counterparts in the game.

The one in front, wearing the Silvermane Guard uniform and glasses, was undoubtedly the four-star character from the game – Pela.

And the girl behind Pela, wearing a warm winter outfit, with yellow hair and blue eyes, was the other four-star character in the game – Lingke.

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile.

He had been wandering this planet for so long, and finally, he had encountered living people.

"Hello, both of you. I am Luo Chen, commander of the Selene Space Station."

Luo Chen walked forward and extended his hand.

Pela was taken aback for a moment, then she also grasped Luo Chen's hand.

“...Um, hello, my name is Pela.

Thank you for your subordinate's timely assistance in saving us. Otherwise, Lingke and I might have been injured…”

Seeing that Luo Chen was so approachable, Pela suddenly felt a little awkward…

"Not at all, it's fine as long as neither of you are hurt."

Luo Chen said with a smile.

Seeing Luo Chen's smile, Pela's initial nervousness gradually eased.

After confirming that Luo Chen seemed to have no ill intentions towards them, Pela stepped aside, allowing Lingke to be seen, and introduced her to Luo Chen.

"This is Lingke, my friend. Thank you for your subordinate's assistance just now.

If it's convenient, please allow us to host you all in Belobog as a way of expressing our gratitude..."

Seeing that Pela had pulled her out, Lingke also greeted Luo Chen with some restraint.

Hearing Pela's words about hosting them in Belobog, Luo Chen's lips curled up in a smile.

"There's no need for hospitality, but we do need to enter Belobog and meet with the Grand Protector."

"Meet the Grand Protector?"

Lingke couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

As the highest official of Belobog, the Grand Protector's status was naturally extraordinary.

And as a member of the Landau family who had followed the Grand Protector for hundreds of years, Lingke naturally understood the Grand Protector's position very well.

As far as she knew, even her brother, the Silvermane Guard Captain, Gepard, couldn't just see the Grand Protector whenever he wanted.

Even Gepard, as the Silvermane Guard Captain, couldn't do that, so it wouldn't be possible for other officials.

But this handsome man in front of her had said that he wanted to see the Grand Protector right after they met?

"May I ask what you want to see the Grand Protector for?"

Pela pushed up her glasses, then fell silent for a moment, and asked.

Luo Chen smiled calmly in response to this question, and then said:

"Do you remember my previous introduction?"

"The... commander of the Selene Space Station?"

Pela said tentatively.

Luo Chen nodded with a smile, then explained.

"The Selene Space Station is a spaceship from another planet. Due to a lack of fuel, we were forced to land on this planet.

If we want to start the Selene Space Station and leave, we need to gather resources.

And since Belobog is the master of this planet, if we want to mine resources, we naturally need to obtain your Grand Protector's consent."

Luo Chen said calmly.

If his initial diplomatic goal was this.

Then, after realizing that this world was the world of Honkai: Star Rail and that the planet he was on was Belobog,

Luo Chen's goal became less pure than before.

Especially after Dr. Sean and Dr. Pat joined the Genius Club, Luo Chen became more indifferent to his original goal…

It's true that the Selene Space Station lacked energy, but it didn't necessarily need to be replenished here in Belobog.

Especially after Dr. Sean and Dr. Pat joined the Genius Club, it was even less necessary.

If Luo Chen wanted to obtain energy now, the best way would be to have Dr. Pat and Dr. Sean contact Black Serpent or Screwgolem.

After the first transaction, Screwgolem and Black Serpent would most likely not mind spending some energy that was not important to them to befriend Dr. Sean and Dr. Pat.

Thus, Dr. Pat and Dr. Sean could use Luo Chen's method and, through the Genius Club, directly send energy…

And Luo Chen did exactly that.

After Dr. Pat and Dr. Sean came out of the Genius Club and got contact information for Screwgolem and Black Serpent.

Luo Chen told them this method.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the Selene Space Station's energy problem had actually been solved…

However, solving the energy acquisition problem didn't prevent Luo Chen from continuing to interact with Belobog.

As he said before, after confirming that this was Belobog, Luo Chen's goal became less pure than in the beginning…

After all, apart from being the commander of the Selene Space Station, Luo Chen also actually bore the important responsibility of continuing the bloodline of Earth's human race.

The reason why Luo Chen still wanted to interact with Belobog was not just out of personal preference, but also because of the heavy responsibility he bore.

And to continue the bloodline of Earth's human race, Luo Chen alone would not be enough.

And Belobog was the first step for Luo Chen to fulfill the heavy responsibility he bore…

The path to continuing the bloodline of the species was long and arduous!

After listening to Luo Chen's words, Pela nodded in understanding.

As an intelligence officer, Pela had a wide range of reading materials and naturally knew that there had been visitors from outside the world long ago, before Belobog was built.

Even Belobog at that time was in a thriving state, but later, due to the invasion of the Anti-Matter Legion, those visitors from outside the world gradually disappeared…

Luo Chen's answer also solved the doubts Pela had in her mind.

If they were visitors from outside the world, then perhaps it could be understood why they would have such powerful mythical beasts.
