Hmm... it doesn't seem impossible.

Lin Shuang glanced at the skill description again.

[Be careful, if you wear the mask for too long, you might not be able to take it off.]

Let's try it with someone else next time.

However, Lin Shuang always felt that it would be too much of a burden to play the role of someone for an extended period of time.

It's very possible that even the thoughts in your mind will become biased towards the other person.

It's best to use this ability sparingly after the experiment is completed.

Just as Lin Shuang was thinking this...

Sparkle, however, rushed towards them in a great shock.

"Huh?! Why? How does Little White Hair know this trick? It's amazing!"

She reached out and touched it in surprise.

The body and clothing are no different from one's own.

What surprised Sparkle the most was that she could even feel the power of Elation emanating from Lin Shuang in front of her.

"Wow, that's amazing! That's really interesting. Tell me how you did it! Can you transform into other people? Are there any limitations? Can you also imitate their abilities?"

Sparkle suddenly became interested and started chattering around Lin Shuang like a chirping sparrow.

They even went so far as to touch her inappropriately, trying to strip Lin Shuang's clothes off and see what was underneath.

"..."

Lin Shuang did not want to answer Sparkle's question and reached out to put the mask back on Sparkle's head.

Once the Token is removed, the skill is unlocked naturally.

Seeing Lin Shuang revert to her original form, Sparkle panicked.

Smack

The mask on her head was then transferred to Lin Shuang's head by Sparkle.

"Quick, quick, one more time! Hehe~ Let them see again!"

"This is a secret. We're on the same side now. I'm only showing you my abilities now, not putting on a show for you."

"Hey--there's no one else here."

"It won't work without outsiders."

Lin Shuang rejected Sparkle's request without hesitation.

Sparkle, whose interest had been piqued but whose desires were never satisfied, eventually became sullen.

Squatting next to Lin Shuang, pouting, he secretly pinched a Lin Shuang doll and started punching it with his little fists.

He kept muttering to himself while beating her.

Lin Shuang was speechless and amused at the same time.

Then he ignored the Sparkle and continued making small bombs by hand.

I spent the whole day making bombs at the Sparkle display.

The next day, Topaz sent over the new contract.

Lin Shuang naturally abandoned Sparkle and went to the Luofu Sky-Faring Commission alone.

Contact Tingyun for help checking if there are any issues with the contract.

After confirming that everything was correct, the contract was signed online.

After the contract was signed, Lin Shuang also sent information about Penacony to Topaz.

He didn't mention the Dreamflux Reef incident, but only told Topaz about the Stellaron and the disunity within the Family.

Lin Shuang didn't care that the company was making things difficult for her Family.

Topaz assumed that Lin Shuang was on Firefly's side and would definitely favor the Family.

Therefore, we were relatively restrained during the discussion.

But Lin Shuang had already heard the Firefly's declaration.

With the Family's plans set in stone, the Firefly's rebellion against the Family was a logical next step.

Lin Shuang didn't feel much psychological burden.

"It was a pleasure working with you, and I wish Ms. Topaz all the best in securing the Penacony."

"Haha~ That's hard to say, it's not something I can decide."

Topaz smiled and said a few words of modesty.

Among the Ten Stonehearts, she was one of the less experienced, and it was also generally acknowledged that she wasn't as ruthless as the others.

Topaz herself, and even her boss, didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

But whether Topaz will actually be in charge of such a large project as Penacony is hard to say.

Chapter 321 Gepard X Gepard, Is This How You Use This Ability?!

Lin Shuang didn't really care who was in charge of Penacony.

Anyway, she only saw a little bit of the beginning of the story.

All Lin Shuang knew was that it was Aventurine, but she had no idea what the Aventurine was used for afterward.

It might be more pleasing to the eye if it were Topaz instead.

The contract has already been signed anyway.

Topaz covered all the costs of rebuilding the planet, including reimbursement for subsequent infrastructure construction.

Large Starport, star rings surrounding planets, etc...

However, on the other hand...

There are still quite a few Fragmentum creatures on that planet; it seems the company needs to send people to clean it up.

Thinking about it this way, the company's grassroots managers must be working really hard.

I just don't know how efficient the company is.

Hopefully, it can be resolved quickly.

The contract is settled.

Lin Shuang naturally went back and treated Tingyun to a meal to express her gratitude.

Such consultations, if conducted by professionals, will definitely require a fee.

Lin Shuang wanted to reward Tingyun, but the little Fox was unwilling no matter what she said.

We were looking for a high-end restaurant, but Miss Tingyun said she was tired of the food and didn't like it anymore.

Having no other choice, they took their men to Aurum Alley and treated Miss Tingyun to food and drinks.

During the meal, Lin Shuang and Tingyun also talked about what had happened in Aurum Alley.

"The matter of Aurum Alley? I've heard about it too."

Tingyun ate elegantly, then took a tissue and carefully wiped the grease from her lips.

Although it was much cleaner, her lips were still glossy and shiny, reflecting the bright light and looking very alluring.

"I heard that it was that Nameless, along with a Cloud Knights, who helped. Hehe~ The recent events in Aurum Alley have been attracting a lot of attention at the Sky-Faring Commission."

"Hmm? Is the Sky-Faring Commission also paying attention to that side?"

"Of course."

Tingyun put down her chopsticks, her expression smiling, but then becoming more serious.

"Luofu entrusted the matter of Aurum Alley to the company, not so that the company could use it to deal with Luofu's own people."

As a businessman, Tingyun naturally understood the decline of Aurum Alley.

When Sky-Faring Commission handed this project over to our company, they wanted to see if our company could find a way to revitalize Aurum Alley.

Instead of having the company bulldoze Aurum Alley to use it as a warehouse.

"Several of my colleagues have recently been getting their people to help Aurum Alley."

Lin Shuang was taken aback.

"Such a thing is true?"

"Of course, otherwise, how could the enthusiasm of two laymen possibly cover the rent in such a short time?"

Tingyun explained with a smile, her eyes gleaming with cunning.

"But it was also a stroke of luck. Originally, everyone just wanted to prove themselves, but unexpectedly, after everyone worked together, it seems that Aurum Alley is really showing signs of being revitalized."

"Who knows, Aurum Alley might be able to experience a second spring under the banner of 'tradition' in the future."

"Of course... If even the largest chambers of commerce can't revive this, what will become of us..."

Lin Shuang finally understood. She had thought that Xing was truly gifted and a business genius who had managed to revitalize Aurum Alley.

Unexpectedly, several major chambers of commerce under the Sky-Faring Commission were also involved in the effort.

"That's not how it works. Not everyone can ride the east wind. That Miss Nameless is quite capable."

Tingyun moved the chair closer to Lin Shuang.

Then he whispered:

"Several of my colleagues are considering poaching him."

"... That won't work, will Yukong Kong allow it?"

"Of course not, hehe~"

Tingyun deliberately whispered a laugh in Lin Shuang's ear.

The warm, moist breath and the crisp sound made Lin Shuang feel a tingling sensation in her ears.

Lin Shuang tilted her head slightly, her face flushed, and moved a little distance away. Then, she suddenly thought of something:

"Could it be that you deliberately came to Aurum Alley today? To take the exam in person?"

"My benefactor, what are you saying? I've just heard a lot about Aurum Alley lately and am a little curious about what it's like here."

Miss Tingyun's ears twitched, and her fluffy Tail slapped against Lin Shuang's waist.

He wore a disgruntled expression, which was quite endearing.

"Speaking of which... my benefactor now has his own territory. I'd like to visit his planet someday."

"That's a long wait. Right now, it's all ruins and Fragmentum creatures. Who knows how many years it will take for the company to rebuild the ecosystem."

"That's not necessarily true."

Tingyun smiled mysteriously, offering no explanation to Lin Shuang, and then resumed eating her food.

I accompanied Tingyun for a stroll around Aurum Alley.

After returning to her residence, Lin Shuang told Acheron about the contract she had signed with Topaz.

He also mentioned his new transformation ability.

Now.

Acheron, who hadn't originally planned to return, immediately expressed his desire to come back and visit.

He urged Lin Shuang to open the Portal.
