Chapter 605
For someone who lost his parents and was tricked by the monster Otto more than once, Lin Yu not only made their world a better place after the Honkai ended in the past seven years, but also took some people to help unlucky people in other worlds in his spare time.
During this process, when Lin Yu encountered those wicked people who committed heinous crimes, they were either sent to jail by Lin Yu killed by him.
It can be said that over these seven years, Lin Yu's obsession with "doing good deeds" has become increasingly profound.
Because of this, Void Archive even thought that Lin Yu would eventually get into a fight with some people in the company because of the messy things the Market Development Department was doing.
"Um, wait a minute!!!"
The Void Archive, who was preparing to leave Kliper Castle with Bronya, suddenly looked embarrassed and said to Bronya.
"I swear, I really didn't tell the boss about this."
"But just now, the boss messaged me saying... he's planning to come to Jarilo-VI."
After listening to Void Archive's statement, Bronya remained silent for a second before calmly asking Void Archive.
"Is there any way to delay Mr. Lin Yu's operation?"
Regarding this point...
At that moment, Void Archive covered its face in despair.
"The boss's actions are characterized by swiftness and efficiency, given his spatial teleportation ability..."
"When I received this message, he was probably already in Belobog."
"Don't worry about him clashing with people at the company, after all, things have come to this point..."
"No matter how worried you are, this has already become something that was bound to happen."
Outskirts of Belobog
On the outskirts of Belobog, the warriors of the Earthfire and the members of the Silvermane Guards, looking at the company employees and mechs approaching them, gripped their weapons tightly with heavy expressions.
"The situation... isn't good."
Even Luka, the most passionate among them, couldn't be optimistic when looking at the enemies before him.
"I said, these mechs are on our side, right?"
"What exactly happened to cause them to be on opposite sides now?"
"... I roughly know the reason, but now is not the time to talk about these things."
As Serval's younger brother, Gepard had heard his reinstated sister say that there were some underlying codes in the mechs that couldn't be modified.
At the time, Serval had some concerns that if someone could possess the original underlying code of the mechs, they could bypass Belobog's people and directly control the mechs.
What's worse, what Serval feared not only happened, but it happened less than a week after Cocolia stepped down.
Belobog's side was already far weaker than the enemy's, and now their own mechs have turned against them...
To be honest, Gepard felt that if the two sides resumed fighting after the current ceasefire, they would be absolutely doomed.
Of course, Gepard, Dunn, Luka, Seele, these high-end combatants, can take care of some of the enemies.
However, the remaining Silvermane Guards faced a mixed force of company employees and mechs, and were ultimately beaten half to death.
Belobog was in dire need of rebuilding and already lacked sufficient manpower.
In the end, after the battle... well, no one died, so it was a victory.
"I said I always felt uneasy, and when I came to take a look, I found that there was indeed a problem here."
At that moment, after a voice was heard coming from the snowfield, the people at the company did not react.
However, the few people on Belobog's side who had met Lin Yu once before recognized the voice the moment they heard it. It was none other than Lin Yu, the kind person who had helped Belobog a lot before.
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, Lin Yu strolled towards the two groups of people ahead.
The two people watching Lin Yu the snowflakes fall on his head and be instantly annihilated by a strange force.
"Mr. Lin Yu."
Although it shouldn't be done during a battle, Gepard still bowed to Lin Yu out of consideration for Lin Yu's kindness to Belobog.
"I'm sorry, the situation is rather special right now. Please wait until we've dealt with these matters before informing Lady Bronya of your visit."
"What?! You're Lin Yu?!"
"Oh, what? Director Topaz wants to see me?"
On the other side, the squad leader, after hearing the voice coming from the communicator, suddenly began to tremble.
"Director, let me explain—"
[Explain what?! I told you to go and discuss it, that I had something to take care of and would be there soon, and now you're fighting with Belobog's people???]
[You, you, you—are you trying to drive me crazy?!]
Because the voice coming from the captain's earpiece was so loud, not only Lin Yu, but also the soldiers on Belobog's side heard the embarrassing reprimand.
The tense atmosphere subsided slightly after the enemy leader was berated by his superior.
After all, although the two sides fought, to a certain extent, the company forces that could defeat Belobog did not go all out, while the Belobog mixed forces that could not defeat Beloberg were more defensively inclined than offensively inclined.
For various reasons, the actual casualties on both sides are now zero; only a few Silvermane Guards have been knocked unconscious on the ground.
Now that the atmosphere has changed, both sides feel that this fight... is probably not worth continuing.
[You don't want your bonus anymore, huh? You want your performance bonus deducted because you've exceeded your limits? Stop! Everyone stop right now, and apologize to the other party!]
Also, after the apology is over, ask the people at Belobog how to contact Mr. Lin Yu.
At that moment, the company's team leader looked at Lin Yu, who was smiling in front of him, and after comparing the photo with the one in his own file, he spoke to Topaz on the other end of the communicator.
"Director Topaz, you might not believe it, but..."
"—Mr. Lin Yu seems to be right in front of me right now."
PS: 4.6K, will continue tomorrow.
Trailblaze Chapter 55. Wow, what a good man!
Belobog - Kliper Castle
About an hour later, Topaz, having hurriedly finished his work, arrived in Belobog and realized that this problem was going to be a bit tricky.
Originally, when Topaz's Strategic Investment Department learned about the existence of a place called Jarilo-VI, someone said, "This place is too poor, and I don't think you can squeeze any money out of it."
While the Strategic Investment Department isn't as illegitimate as the Market Development Department, it's still essentially a group of business elites.
Planets like Jarilo-VI, which are heavily indebted to companies and unlikely to yield any gold coins, are naturally of little interest to business elites.
Unless there are special circumstances, the company will send people to Jarilo-VI and use various means to make the local residents of Jarilo-VI obediently pay back the money.
As for local residents who don't have money—oh, my dear friend, take a look at this business contract.
After signing, all debts will be wiped out, and the Interastral Peace Corporation will begin assisting the people of Beloborg in rebuilding their homeland, citing the reason that "as a loyal group of the Amber King Belobog, we adhere to the will of [Preservation] and will naturally help the City Builder, who are also on the path of [Preservation], to solve various problems on this planet."
Of course, this comes at a price.
When assisting planetary civilizations facing major problems in rebuilding their homes, the company will also have them sign contracts as appropriate.
These contracts are hardly generous, but many civilizations, when faced with life-or-death situations, still had to enter into these contracts, which were sometimes equivalent to a global lifelong indenture.
After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and besides, the company had no reason to help them in the first place.
Sometimes, paying a high price can make people feel more at ease than receiving help for free.
Of course, after seeing this business opportunity, Topaz decided to take it over.
Her planet was the kind of place that couldn't save itself and could only be saved by the company.
That's why Topaz felt that it wasn't so bad for a planet unable to save itself to sign this contract with the company.
However, just before she was about to take action, her department head, Diamond, unusually approached her alone and asked her to keep an eye on someone while carrying out this business.
No, that statement is even somewhat incorrect.
In the eyes of diamond dealers, the business related to Jarilo can hardly be considered a transaction anymore.
Topaz negotiated far too favorable terms for Jarilo-VI; if they were any more generous, Diamond would think the company was doing charity.
This deal was insignificant to Diamond.
The real reason he needed to find Topaz alone was due to the power behind Jarilo-VI.
[Pay attention to the Stellaron Hunters behind Jarilo-VI, especially the new, nameless passenger named Lin Yu.]
When the leader said that, Topaz naturally asked for the reason behind the diamond.
Diamond had no intention of hiding this from one of his most loyal subordinates.
[Based on intelligence gathered by our agents in the Immortal Ship, it's possible that the 'Destruction Lord - Phantylia', whom the Xianzhou Alliance announced was eliminated by, was dealt with by the Stellaron Hunters.]
We don't have enough evidence, but considering the swift and decisive end of the internal strife on the Luofu Xianzhou after the Stellaron Hunters arrived, it wouldn't hurt to be cautious.
Although Lin Yu was a newly arrived anonymous guest, during the Stellaron Hunters's operation on the Immortal Ship, they clearly operated with Lin Yu as their leader.
[Furthermore, this person crushed the Doomsday Beast with their bare hands at the Herta Space Station, so this man might... no, we can't jump to conclusions now. Just be careful.]
Originally, Diamond had already paid a certain price to obtain the support of another security envoy within the company.
Logically speaking, if Topaz were to botch this deal at this juncture, he, as the head of the Strategic Investment Department, would certainly lose face.
However, this time, having already sensed some possibilities, Diamond did not say anything to Jarilo-VI.
Before Topaz left, Diamond emphasized one last thing to Topaz.
Whether this deal goes through or not doesn't matter; it's a deal that won't make much profit anyway, so if it falls through, it falls through.
However, Stellaron Hunters currently very powerful, so you absolutely cannot offend them. If possible, you could even consider doing them a favor—for the Jarilo deal, you could consider playing the victim during the negotiation process and helping to lower the company's terms a bit.
Go ahead and do it; I'll take responsibility.
Since the boss had put it so clearly, Topaz naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous in this matter.
After learning about these things, Topaz naturally instructed his subordinates that when they went to Jarilo-VI, they should not only treat the locals with great courtesy, but also absolutely not do anything rude when they encountered the people from the Stellaron Hunters or Lin Yu.
And now...
She was just finishing up some work on a previous order!
Why did her subordinates tell her, halfway through the process, that she had accidentally gotten into a fight with some locals from Jarilo-VI? (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻
What's even more troublesome is that Lin Yu from the Stellaron Hunters witnessed this.
She never expected that, even though everything else went smoothly, her usually reliable henchmen would stab her in the back at the crucial moment.
In Diamond's view, after the Stellaron Hunters went to Jarilo-VI suddenly had a sum of Credits to solve the urgent problem of planetary reconstruction.
For others, finding out relevant information might not be an easy task.
However, the Strategic Investment Department, which is involved in investment every day, has always been among the best in the world in terms of information gathering.
Topaz made a quick inquiry through acquaintances and discovered that Jarilo had used nearly five billion Credits during this period.
According to rumors gathered by the Strategic Investment Department at the Herta Space Station, the Credits Lin Yu received from Asta are highly likely to be 5 billion.
What does this mean? It means that after Lin Yu received a sum of money, he used it on the planet Jarilo-VI without hesitation.
It's not really strange for an anonymous person to do good deeds.
However, it is somewhat absurd for an anonymous person to devote all their resources to helping a group of people they may have only known for a few days to revive their civilization.
Especially now, the Market Development Department, which is at odds with the Strategic Investment Department, is headed by Schneider, who is still a complete unknown...
You can know a person's face but not their heart.
Only Topaz, a well-known good guy in the Strategic Investment Department, only had "some doubts".
After seeing the report Topaz obtained, almost everyone else unanimously agreed that the Stellaron Hunters might be about to make a big splash.
Supporting the revitalization of civilizations that are in dire need of rebuilding but have the potential... This is something the company does every day.
The company is simply more ruthless in its preparation to control the other party through contracts from the very beginning, so people inside the company, having seen it all before, feel that Lin Yu is doing the same thing.
If I had to point out any difference, I could only say that his technique might be a bit gentler.
Now, if we consider Lin Yu as a diamond, then that soldier named Gepard is probably Ten Stone Hearts.
You beat up someone's underling's underling, and he even saw it—isn't that a slap in the face?!
