It was incredibly annoying…
The first thing Lin Nai said upon seeing Ruan Mei was, "Ruan Mei! You! Are my god!!"
Initially, Ruan Mei was taken aback by this.
Fortunately, Lin Nai quickly returned to normal and they got along very well.
Tsk!
Lin Nai had never said anything like that to her!
Thinking about it made Black Tower feel annoyed.
Because of Lin Nai's words, for a period of time, she basically faced Ruan Mei with a sour expression.
Recalling it now, Black Tower felt her mood wasn't great.
So, from a scowling face to a blank expression, with a flat tone, She put on a business-like demeanor:
"Alright, you can leave now. I'm going to research the Simulated Universe next, and you're a bit in the way here."
Since Lin Nai wasn't making progress, she might as well focus her attention on another project.
Lin Nai: ???
How to put it, Black Tower's current tone and actions were just like someone who was heartless after getting what they wanted.
After the check-up, she just kicked him out.
Simply too heartless!
Even though this scene had played out countless times over the past few years.
Lin Nai still had to express his condemnation of Black Tower every time.
But it was completely useless.
Even with Lin Nai's repeated protests.
The final outcome was, without any suspense, Black Tower kicked him out of the office.
Damn it!
A superior like this should be utterly defied!
Lin Nai grumbled a few words internally and then left.
Chapter 3: Working is Impossible, I'd Rather Die~
Through the core passage.
In front of a giant holographic projection screen, a pink-haired girl was systematically directing the work on the space station.
That person was the station commander of the Black Tower Space Station, Asta, a young lady from a prestigious family.
She possessed unimaginable attainments in the field of astronomy.
She could accomplish the work of dozens of people, and commanding and maintaining the entire space station was not a problem for her.
Speaking of which.
The entire Black Tower Space Station was funded and built by Asta's family.
Hmm…
When she was going through the story before.
Arlan had also said that Asta's family had connections with the company and was very wealthy, so it could be understood that Asta funded the construction.
So, for now, let's assume it was Asta's family?
Let's not dwell on this issue for the time being.
What was certain was that Asta was a rich woman!
She was the type who, if she didn't work hard, would have to inherit her family's business.
How nice.
Upon seeing Asta, Lin Nai subconsciously wanted to say, "I am Kokomi's Paimon!"
Fortunately, he didn't actually say it out loud, otherwise, Lin Nai felt he would have to run away from home.
Asta might not know who Kokomi was.
But what was Paimon…
Haha.
If he said it out loud, he would be utterly embarrassed.
"Asta!"
"Huh? Lin Nai!" Asta's eyes lit up. "Did you just come out of Ms. Herta's office?"
"Yeah, Herta... she just tossed me out after she was done with me."
Lin Nai sighed, complaining about Herta's heartlessness to Asta.
Asta put her hands behind her back and smiled brightly. "Don't look so glum, Ms. Herta cares about you a lot."
After all, not everyone gets the chance to see Herta's true face from time to time.
And there's also the chance to attend gatherings with members of the Genius Club.
Thinking about it, Asta felt a pang of jealousy.
Although Ms. Herta acted indifferent towards Lin Nai, she actually cared about him quite a bit.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have placed a puppet in his room when Lin Nai was still young.
When she first arrived at the space station, there wasn't a Herta puppet in her room!
Of course, there isn't one now either.
What a shame.
Every time she saw the puppet in that room, she felt incredibly envious!
"That's what you say, but after finishing her research, she just throws me out? She didn't even say thank you?!"
"Isn't Ms. Herta just like that? You can't expect her to say something like, 'Arigato, Lin Nai-san,' can you?"
"Whoa, why does that sound like Edo dialect?"
"Does it? Maybe it's because I've been watching dramas in that style lately?"
Asta extended her hand and started messing with Lin Nai's face.
Sometimes she really envied this guy.
His face was unusually soft.
The moment she touched it, she didn't want to let go.
Even though this guy didn't use any skincare products.
When Lin Nai realized Asta's actions were becoming more and more excessive, he batted away her hands that were molesting his face.
Asta stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
She couldn't help herself.
"Oh right, Lin Nai, someone from the Interastral Peace Corporation asked me to ask if you have any plans to work."
"The person who asked was Topaz, right?"
That guy had asked him the same thing last time he came to Herta's space station to collect a debt.
He had refused then.
By the way, Asta was the one who paid Herta's bills.
Rich people are the best~
Speaking of which, was his allowance also taken by Herta from Asta?
That's weird.
But it shouldn't be that way, right?
Herta isn't poor.
Moreover, if she were getting it from Asta, Herta would have probably just asked Asta to give it directly?
Getting sidetracked.
Lin Nai snapped back to reality and shook his head helplessly. "Isn't that guy from the Strategic Investment Department? I don't know how to do that stuff."
He didn't have an eye for investments.
He couldn't just stand there and use Domain Expansion to kill gamblers, could he?
Forget it.
It reminded him of when he bought lottery tickets in his past life, thinking he could win 37 million with 20 yuan like Chan Kai.
He was so generous when paying.
He scratched it.
Well, he didn't win anything at all.
And so.
He, Lin, decided that he and gambling addiction were mortal enemies!
[Where's Huang?]
Lin Nai: Huang Tian is above!
[6.]
"To be precise, I'm asking if you have any plans to work for the Special Debt Collection Group."
Upon hearing this, Lin Nai's brow actually rose.
So that guy doesn't intend to make me his thug, and then use his superior position to ruthlessly exploit me, do they?
Ugh.
What a wicked woman!
Topaz: Achoo!
"Lin Nai, what do you say?" Asta, seeing Lin Nai spacing out, spoke up to bring their attention back.
Lin Nai decisively refused.
"No way, I don't want to be a raw ore. Otherwise, I'll be pulled out by the Traveler next door."
Besides, most people in the Corporation, except for a select few, are quite troublesome.
Their methods are also...
Topaz is still the minority.
