Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 196: The Exchange Between Adjutants.

Ling Ke's gaze was far too obvious, so Yun Zhi waved her hand, letting her come up and pet the bear herself.

But for now, I still don't dare to give the teddy bear directly to Lingke. Although the bear is small, it could cause big trouble if it goes berserk.

Lingke's eyes shone even brighter.

Once given permission, they immediately ran up and began touching the bear all over.

The little ice bear seemed to have seen a lot, remaining calm and unperturbed as if it had never been touched before.

Yun smiled and looked at Pella:

"Why aren't you in the city? What are you doing here?"

Pella's eyes lit up with anticipation:

"Lingke and I are here to see the aurora."

It's not appropriate to call someone "Lingbao" in front of strangers... even though it looks like they've already heard it.

Yun Zhi's interest was piqued.

"aurora……"

It's not like I haven't seen it before. The cave in the Immortal Boat can simulate the aurora borealis, and over the years, I've seen it quite often while traveling.

They are all beautiful.

"So, you've come camping?"

Pera nodded: "Yeah, I'm usually too busy with work, and during my rest time I just want to lie in bed... But I'm still really looking forward to camping with my good friends."

"I understand, especially with the recent destruction of the star core, and Belloberg is in a critical recovery period."

Yun Zhi also rubbed the little bear's head.

Pera was somewhat surprised: "You understand too?"

She didn't know much about the Nameless Ones—in fact, as an intelligence adjutant, she knew quite a bit more about them than most people in Belloberg.

But it's limited to things like "the pioneers will travel through the galaxy and help worlds in trouble"—that's all.

"Of course, being an adjutant can sometimes be much more tiring than being the commander-in-chief."

Yun raised his head and looked at Pella:

"After all, I'm an adjutant too."

"Why???"

Pera's expression vividly conveyed her shock.

"Didn't I say that?"

Yunzhi blinked as she looked at Pera's expression.

—It seems like he really didn't mention it to Belloberg? He remembers mentioning it in the Lower City.

"The nameless passenger may have had many professions before boarding the train, so it's not surprising that I'm an adjutant—of course, I'm still an adjutant now—and I could become a lieutenant general."

Pera tilted her head: "Which aspect are you in charge of, as the adjutant?"

Pera is an intelligence adjutant who deals with massive amounts of intelligence. When she's busy, she's so exhausted that her head spins and she's overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data.

Yun Zhi spread his hands: "I'm a bit busier than you. Besides intelligence gathering, I occasionally do some advisory work. I also have to categorize all the internal miscellaneous tasks, separating the important from the unimportant ones and assigning them to the commander. I have to keep an eye on the commander's social interactions, and I also have to keep an eye on the commander's private life, such as what to wear to banquets..."

Pera: ...? ? ?

"Please wait a moment..."

Pera interrupted Yunzhi with difficulty: "Shouldn't the secretariat and the butler be responsible for the commander's personal relationships and private life?"

"Huh? -- Oh, things are a little different where we are."

He was also quite different from the other deputy generals.

Upon hearing this, Peramian looked horrified: "So, the people from your hometown are all this amazing?"

An adjutant can actually work as a secretary and butler... and maybe even a nanny?

If even an adjutant is this strong, how powerful must the commander be?

"Everyone has their own job, and the pressure on the commander is far greater than we imagine."

What was that saying again?

If it succeeds, everyone will share the rewards; if it fails, the Lord will have to bear the consequences alone.

Fortunately, Lan was a victorious general and was never caught red-handed.

Pera asked in confusion, "Then why aren't you with the commander now?"

Clearly, because of what Yunzhi said about their adjutant having too much to do, a very strange image had already popped into Pera's mind—a general who couldn't distinguish between grains, had no emotional intelligence, but was very good at commanding battles.

Sensing Pella's misunderstanding of Lan, Yunzhi's smile became somewhat forced: "Don't misunderstand, my commander isn't ignorant of those things, it's just that I do them better."

"Moreover, my commander now has a pure goal, which makes me feel much more relaxed."

Besides, he's currently flying solo.

"Is the goal pure?"

Okay, Pera admits that she really didn't understand.

She felt that her leader's goal of "protecting Belloberg" was already very pure, but she was still very busy.

Seeing that the bear wouldn't react to Ling Ke's touch, Yun Zhiyan handed the bear to Ling Ke: "Since it can handle things on its own, I don't need to bother with it. I need to rest."

Anyway, Lan is quite relaxed now, isn't she? She doesn't need to worry about those social obligations and stuff...

Pera: ...I don't understand, but I feel like if I keep asking, my knees will buckle.

Let's not ask.

"Since you're going camping, I won't bother you any longer. You two should still be careful and retreat immediately if you encounter any danger that you can't handle."

Two girls were camping, what was he, a grown man, doing sneaking in?

No, no, that's not appropriate.

Pera was taken aback, then, itching to pet the bear, asked, "Mr. Yun, aren't you camping with us?"

Ling Ke looked up and pleaded, "It's said there's a legendary creature on the snowfield, the Beloborg Wildman. Mr. Yun, would you like to join us in searching for him?"

Beloborg Wild Man?

Yun's brow twitched.

what is this?
