Get Something for Nothing-and Really Rip Off the Corporation.

So... what do you want?

"..."

Lin Shuang blinked, genuinely unable to recall it for a moment.

In this vast Galaxy era, entertainment and the world are both incredibly expansive.

In addition, they currently have sufficient strength and are not short of money.

Lin Shuang felt that she could easily do nothing for decades.

And get to know more pretty girls, and maybe increase their Affection of you.

It's not appropriate to say this in front of Gepard.

Thinking this way.

Lin Shuang tilted her head, causing her head to touch Gepard's head.

Seeing that Lin Shuang remained silent, how could Gepard not guess what she was thinking?

"There's no need to rush. If we can't think of anything for now, how about using this planet as leverage to get Topaz to waive the bill for repairing the planet?"

"Hmm... that's a good suggestion."

Lin Shuang thought about it and it seemed like a good idea.

But...

Lin Shuang turned her head and stared curiously into Gepard's eyes at very close range, asking:

Do you like this planet?

"... It's not bad, even though it looks shabby."

Gepard nodded, staring intently at Lin Shuang without any attempt to hide her gaze.

It's as if it's saying...

She fell in love with this ordinary planet because of Lin Shuang.

That's it?

"Isn't this enough? Even though it's dilapidated, if one day this planet is taken away by some unknown person and transformed into something unimaginable, I think I'd still hate it."

Gepard's eyes were pure and innocent as she smiled at Lin Shuang.

Even the tone of his voice sounded like he was talking about what to have for lunch.

But Lin Shuang still felt that inexplicable emotions were churning wildly inside her.

Staring into Gepard's eyes, Lin Shuang couldn't help but nod.

"You're right. Since it's going to be repaired anyway, we might as well do it according to our own preferences."

Moreover, having your own stronghold is also a good thing.

Although Lin Shuang was quite comfortable on the Xianzhou, it was only Lin Shuang herself who was comfortable. It was hard to say whether the people in the Xianzhou Alliance would have other ideas.

At this point, Lin Shuang turned her head and smiled, then changed the subject:

"When the time comes, could you repair some buildings in the style of Gepard's hometown? I'll also repair some buildings from my hometown that I Remembrance."

Lin Shuang made it sound so easy.

But to Gepard's ears, it sounded like a thunderclap.

The word "hometown" felt too distant for Gepard.

Moreover, those past landscapes were both beautiful and despairing to her.

Do we really want to recreate this scene here?

Gepard was initially hesitant.

But she looked into Lin Shuang's eyes and listened to the second half of her sentence.

It's as if the past isn't so difficult to face after all.

"If I remember..."

"Isn't your Remembrance slowly returning? Then one day you'll be able to remember."

Lin Shuang smiled and extended her little finger.

A widely circulated convention.

Gepard had heard Lin Shuang mention it before.

So she raised her hand, extended her little finger, and hooked it around Lin Shuang's finger.

The two of them silently hooked their fingers together, swaying in mid-air like children for several rounds.

The bento box was a promise made.

I returned to the Reverie alone.

Lin Shuang hadn't originally planned to come back this early.

After all, there's no rush to take action Penacony at the moment.

We also need to wait for news from the Firefly.

But she received a text message from Sparkle urging her to come back and help with the work.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Lin Shuang returned to Penacony alone after sending Gepard back.

However, Lin Shuang had only been in her Dreamscape for a short while, and hadn't yet found where Sparkle was hiding.

A communication from Topaz came in at that moment.

Lin Shuang looked at the name on the contact and raised an eyebrow.

"The timing of their attack was really perfect."

Is it a coincidence?

But that's just right.

Intelligence is time-sensitive.

For the company now, Lin Shuang doesn't even need to reveal everything; she only needs to extract one or two pieces of information.

That should be enough to get the reward I want.

Penacony is far more valuable than this crippled planet.

However, if we wait for the company's personnel to arrive at Penacony, then one or two pieces of information might not be of enough value.

That being said...

Lin Shuang didn't think the company could actually take Penacony back.

The Family is not to be trifled with; the Penacony Family is actually just a branch of the main family.

Lin Shuang guessed that the most likely outcome would be that the Family affair would come to light, exposing something incriminating to the company.

Then, Penacony he owned 100% of, relinquished a portion of its shares to the company.

As for whether this part is a small portion or a large portion, that probably depends on how much power the Family can retain after defeating the BOSS.

Moreover, Lin Shuang felt that the company probably didn't expect to be able to get all of Penacony back in one go.

Being able to open a channel for the company to intervene might be considered a victory for the person in charge of this matter.

To be honest, they haven't even decided who to send to Penacony yet.

If Topaz obtains important intelligence at this time and passes it on, it would be a huge gain for Topaz no matter what.

If you think about it that way...

There's a good chance we can actually negotiate.

Lin Shuang pondered the information she already possessed.

I realized I might have actually caught a pretty good time.

318

Chapter 318 Getting something for nothing, ruthlessly exploiting the company.

Lin Shuang still remembered the plot; after Topaz dealt with the matter of Jarilo-VI.

When she was being criticized, Aventurine told her that a decision had been made regarding Penacony.

And Xing is still practicing his Skill Bird every day in Aurum Alley.

The Train is still parked at Xianzhou Luofu.

Clearly, what happened on Jarilo's side hasn't happened yet.

If it had been any later, the value of the intelligence would likely have been greatly diminished.

But this timing is probably just right.

These thoughts were swirling in my mind.

Lin Shuang stroked her chin and pressed the answer button.

"It's good to see you again, Miss Lin Shuang. I'm so glad to see you're safe and sound."

The phantom of Miss Topaz appeared before Lin Shuang, nodding slightly, her expression seemingly happy for Lin Shuang.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Topaz."

Lin Shuang smiled, not in a hurry to get to the point.

Topaz looked at Lin Shuang's calm demeanor.

At least one thing can be confirmed.

The so-called death in Dreamscape is not real death.

Or at least, it wasn't a certain death.

Otherwise, Lin Shuang wouldn't have stood here and greeted him.

So, what Lin Shuang went through after that is what we need to know.

In fact, Topaz is contacting Lin Shuang now in order to gather information.

Conversely, the importance of matters concerning the planet Sephalia was postponed.

Diamond is still considering who should be in charge of the Penacony deal.

The call logs that Topaz retrieved essentially confirmed some of the intelligence the company now possessed.

Other colleagues all thought Topaz had just gotten incredibly lucky.

At this critical juncture, we obtained this evidence.

There is no doubt that he has made a contribution.

Whether or not Topaz is implicated in the Penacony affair, her credit for this is already a foregone conclusion.

If Penacony's takeover plan goes smoothly, he might even get promoted another level.

And this credit was solely due to two old bad debts that Topaz, the kind-hearted man, unearthed from the garbage dump.

Other colleagues learned about the whole thing.

Everyone remarked that such a good thing could only happen to someone like Topaz.

After all, none of the other women were really willing to take on these kinds of deals that clearly weren't going to make money.

Topaz stared at Lin Shuang and said casually:

"I wonder what Ms. Lin Shuang went through after that, and how she is doing. I also have some excellent psychotherapists here, or the best physical therapy programs in Galaxy I can recommend to you."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Miss Topaz. I'm doing alright. If you'd like to continue what we did last time, we can start anytime."

"Really? Since Miss Lin Shuang says so, then let me continue with what I didn't finish last time and add to it..."
