Chapter 268

"No, that's not a stereotype at all, it's stating the facts, isn't it?"

While the Pixie's words may be somewhat biased, obtaining the title is definitely related to [Impression].

"The Mister Miraculous Forger very hard too." Topaz, who was very sensitive to numbers, quickly realized which number would trigger the countdown above Chen Li's head to increase.

"It was indeed very hard work. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I remember the Interastral Peace Corporation once said that these outdated Star Destroyers were just freebies, right?" Chen Li changed the subject.

"That's right. These Star Destroyers are almost unusable, and their appearance isn't aesthetically pleasing enough to be collectibles. Destroying them would be too dangerous. So they can serve as gifts to commemorate the friendship between the Interastral Peace Corporation and Mister Miraculous Forger. The Amber King -shaped Divine Body Amber provided by Mister Miraculous Forger is truly captivating... Does Mister Miraculous Forger really not intend to sell his carving techniques?" Topaz brought up the matter again.

"Uh, trade secrets..."

Chen Li didn't want the Interastral Peace Corporation to know how this Divine Body Amber was carved.

"What else does the sir intend to purchase from the Interastral Peace Corporation? Based on our friendship, the Interastral Peace Corporation is willing to grant you access to some hidden goods. Of course, if you wish to turn this wealth into a string of numbers lying in your account, that is also acceptable."

"Then I plan to buy an even larger piece of Divine Body Amber."

"Oh, so you have a particular fondness for Divine Body Amber? The company does have some in stock..."

In fact, given the extent to which the Interastral Peace Corporation reveres the Amber King, over 80% of the Divine Body Amber in the entire universe are concentrated in the Interastral Peace Corporation's warehouse.

Although the Interstellar Interastral Peace Corporation can't use these magical Ambers, they have the money to do whatever they want.

"No, I plan to carve a larger Amber King statue and then sell it to the Interastral Peace Corporation for a higher price."

"You really are... honest." Topaz twitched the corner of his mouth.

Is it really appropriate for you to talk about this so openly in front of me?

"There's no other way. I don't know what to buy right now, so the best option is to buy some hard currency. There are many things that can't be bought with Credits, but I can buy a bigger Amber King statue."

"But aren't you afraid that if you say that, we won't sell you an even larger Divine Body Amber?"

"Don't worry, because you definitely don't want me to source the goods directly from the place of origin."

"Country of origin... okay, I understand. So, besides this request, sir, do you have any other requests?" Topaz instantly understood what Chen Li meant by "country of origin," didn't want to discuss this topic any further.

Topaz didn't want to hear anything he shouldn't hear.

Whether Chen Li can actually source goods directly from the place of origin is a question that other departments should consider.

Every member of the Genius Society should not be underestimated.

"If I had to say, there really is one... I heard that each of you Ten Stonehearts possesses a Cornerstone. Members can obtain the powers of the [Preservation] Emanator based on their Cornerstone... Would you like me to carve your Cornerstone into your shapes? Of course, that will cost money."

"There's absolutely no need for that," Topaz shook his head.

The Cornerstone is a sacred stone that Emanator the power of the [Preservation] Order. Each member of the [Ten Stonehearts] holds one of these stones. This thing is the lifeblood of the [Ten Stonehearts], more important than life itself. How could they easily hand it over to someone else?

And heaven knows what method Chen Li used to carve the Divine Body Amber.

"Well, that's a real shame... By the way, does your Interastral Peace Corporation have anything similar to the Jade Omen of the Xianzhou Alliance Omen?" Chen Li suddenly asked.

"No." Topaz shook his head.

And even if it existed, it wouldn't be so easy to take it out.

The size of Interastral Peace Corporation Taiyi from that of the Xianzhou Alliance.

With its absolute dominance over wealth and its relentless expansion, the Interastral Peace Corporation practically controls the entire Honkai: Star Rail world.

Its status is equivalent to or even greater than that of Schicksal in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

But it's not necessarily true that Interastral Peace Corporation can truly defeat the Xianzhou Alliance.

If the two sides were to actually fight... it would be a 50/50 chance.

The headquarters of the Interastral Peace Corporation Pion Point, was blasted apart five times in five minutes by the light arrows of the Lord of the Hunt.

In the world of martial arts, strength and background are essential, and coincidentally, the Xianzhou Alliance is the only force in the Honkai: Star Rail Universe whose demands can directly reach the Heavenly Hearing (Aeon).

"Why doesn't your Interastral Peace Corporation have anything?"

"..." Topaz blinked but didn't say anything.

"I hope you can fulfill this last request."

What are the requirements?

"I'm wanted."

"???"

"That's right, you heard me correctly. Issue a warrant for my arrest and put a bounty of several hundred billion on my head."

"Why?"

"Ahem, let me clarify here that I absolutely do not believe that the Interastral Peace Corporation's wanted posters are seen as 'good guy certifications' by other forces. Absolutely not. It's just that my special ability allows me to gain more benefits when I'm in deep crisis. Yes, that's it." Chen Li nodded to himself, successfully convincing himself.

"..." by Topaz.

You're looking at Interastral Peace Corporation through tinted glasses!

And you've already said what's on your mind!

"If you really need to gain higher returns when you're in a crisis, why not use a special Mister Miraculous Forger to publicly declare your friendly relationship with the Interastral Peace Corporation, and announce that anyone who successfully brings you to the headquarters of the Interastral Peace Corporation will receive a subsidy of 10 billion Credits?" Topaz suggested.

"Sigh, won't that ruin my reputation?" Chen Li was a little conflicted.

"So you really do have a prejudice against Interastral Peace Corporation, don't you?"

"Absolutely not!" Chen Li denied categorically.

"If you insist... I will try to communicate with my superiors. So, should your arrest warrant show your real face or this image of the Golden Honkai-Moe King?" Adhering to the principle that the customer is always right, Topaz compromised.

"Based on the current image of the Golden Honkai-Moe King, and incidentally, add that I am suspected to be Galaxy Rangers," Chen Li said.

Chen Li made these dumplings specifically for this dish of vinegar.

If the goal is to create a stereotype about Chen Li in the world, what could be more eye-catching than an arrest warrant?

It takes a lot of effort to promote someone as a good person.

Because there are all kinds of people on the internet, and trolls and keyboard warriors are everywhere. A good person who makes a mistake will be labeled as a bad person. Trying to create a stereotype of "you are a good person" in others is extremely difficult and thankless.

But being wanted is no problem, because the wanted poster is full of real money.

Who would want to lose Credits?

If the Credits for being wanted are expensive enough, then Chen Li can be remembered by more people.

The quality of the title doesn't matter; after all, what kind of bad guy could Galaxy Rangers be wanted by the Interastral Peace Corporation?

"Are you really Galaxy Rangers?"

"I could be. I'm just trying to prove to everyone that I'm only wanted by the Interastral Peace Corporation, but I'm not really a bad person."

"..." by Topaz

Sadly, when will our Interastral Peace Corporation be able to stand up again?

If it were someone else discussing the Interastral Peace Corporation in this way, Topaz would definitely argue with them, saying things like, "My home planet has gradually become better because of the resources brought by the Interastral Peace Corporation, and the Interastral Peace Corporation is indeed helping backward planets." But if the other person is Genius Society member, then it's better to be honest.

"Mister Chen Li, you seem to have a real prejudice against Interastral Peace Corporation?" Watching Topaz scratch his head and leave after hearing Chen Li's request, Asta finally began to address Chen Li by his real name.

"Because there really are bad people in the Interastral Peace Corporation, aren't there?"

"This..." Asta could not refute.

As a pan-galactic commercial company, the corporate spirit of Interastral Peace Corporation has remained unchanged since its inception: to dedicate everything to "Amber King" —Kliper.

But as a company grows larger, it naturally attracts a mix of good and bad elements.

It is said that Oswaldo Schneider, the former head of the Market Expansion Department and Nameless Guest, has a rather bad reputation.

"By the way, Asta, your family are high-ranking members of the Interastral Peace Corporation, right?"

"Yes, yes." Considering Chen Li's prejudice against Interastral Peace Corporation, Asta was momentarily afraid that Chen Li would punch her.

"Relax. I just forgot to tell Topaz whether the Interastral Peace Corporation would be interested in buying some Approval of Noble Morality from me. It can be used to distinguish between good and evil. The Interastral Peace Corporation monopolizes most of the wealth in the entire interstellar space; it's time for a reckoning." Chen Li tossed the gold coins in his hand.

"Mister Chen Li, you're going a bit too far," Asta retorted.

Friend, are you trying to clean out half of the Market Expansion Department?

Interastral Peace Corporation definitely won't buy this gold coin.

Now Asta truly believed that Chen Li might become Galaxy Rangers.

This isn't just a suspected Galaxy Rangers; this is even more of Galaxy Rangers.

"No, this isn't extreme; it's called Equilibrium the world's wealth so that it flows back into ordinary people's homes," Chen Li retorted, shaking his head.

"That seems... to make some sense."

"Of course, I am the Emissary of Equilibrium."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you? You should chat more in the group, otherwise you won't even have enough chat logs to travel through the world."

"But Ms. Herta doesn't manage the Herta Space Station, so I'm the only one who can take charge of the entire station's operations. It's really busy," Asta sighed.

"That's true..." It's a pity that Asta doesn't have any particularly annoying relatives, otherwise she could be used as a sacrifice to improve Work Efficiency.

When relatives offer sacrifices to Heaven, their power is boundless.

"Speaking of which... What If good people have too little wealth and bad people have too much wealth, would you choose to Equilibrium the wealth, so that wealth flows from the hands of bad people to the hands of good people? And conversely, what if good people have too much wealth and bad people have too little wealth?" Asta asked with some curiosity.

"Hmm... I will take action."

"Will you step in and Equilibrium the wealth of the good people and the bad people?"

"No! How can bad people live! It must be that those people from Schicksal have stopped working hard again. We must give them a good thrashing later!"

"Huh? Aren't you the Emissary of Equilibrium?"

"Making the wealth of good people and bad people Equilibrium is the business of the Emissary of Equilibrium to do with me, the Galaxy Rangers Chen Li?" Chen Li looked at Asta with surprise.

"Your choice of Path... is quite flexible."

"That's what you call having a legitimate reason for your actions."

For Chen Li, Path is a tool, not a belief.

Of course, you should use whichever one is better.

And the best part is that in the Honkai: Star Rail world, Path can explain everything in place of words.

Ordinary people might find it strange to watch this for entertainment, but Masked Fool watches it for entertainment, people will just think it fits his persona.

Similarly, the same applies to Equilibrium Path and Path of the Hunt.

I've already embarked on my Path of the Hunt, what's the point of reasoning with me?

What are you babbling about? Witness my bullet, forged in fire before its trajectory appears!

[Ding! Your reputation has been raised to level 3]

"Huh?" Chen Li was taken aback when he heard the noise.

Because Chen Li hasn't paid attention to reputation for a long time.

Chen Li picked up the Miraculous Forging Guide and glanced at it.

Reputation: Lv3 (57/300)

"Has this already reached level 3? Isn't this over 50 reputation points? Let me see where this reputation came from... Honkai Impact 3rd world? What happened in Honkai Impact 3rd world? The Honkai world gamification project..."

Holding the Miraculous Forging Guide, Chen Li stared at the interface with a complex expression. (Subway, elderly man, mobile phone. jpg)

Dude, your latency is way too bad!

Is it possible that reputation only becomes recognized after it has spread? Therefore, there is inherently a delay.

The Pixie reminded me.

In the online world, fame is built up gradually; no one can become a hot Superstar in a very short time.

Even the Robin is the same.

Unless you pull off something really big.

Chen Li's previous reputation was built up suddenly after he had completely forgotten about the incident.

The entire reputation system is like someone who's been intoxicated by catnip.
