Topaz and Dr. Ratio, Helpers from the Interastral Peace Corporation [Second Update]
Isn't that giving too much?
Jing Yuan walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Of course it's appropriate. Killing a Lord of Destruction and capturing another Lord is an achievement that is unparalleled in the entire Xianzhou."
"If you don't want it, then I'll just publish your achievements."
Seeing that Ji Yuan was still hesitating, Jing Yuan said to him.
"Then I'll go get this."
Ji Yuan quickly accepted the token.
You can choose not to use it; the initiative is still in your own hands.
[You have accepted the appointment of Cloud Knight Marshal Hua as her representative. The system is rewarding you with Marshal Hua's unique martial arts style.]
Huh!? There's such a good thing?
As he was receiving the fist technique, Jing Yuan looked at him and said, "By the way, Ji Yuan, Marshal Hua also knows about your talent. She said the token she gave you contains a fist technique. If you..."
He had only spoken halfway when he saw Ji Yuan begin to swing his fist.
The moves flowed smoothly like clouds and water, yet resembled raging waves.
Seeing this, Jing Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Then he silently picked up his phone and started recording.
While recording, he muttered to himself:
"Marshal, why don't you come and experience life here?"
After Ji Yuan finished performing the entire set of fist techniques, he felt a little out of breath.
This set of fist techniques is extremely fierce, and Ji Yuan's current strength is not yet able to unleash its full power.
At this moment, a fortune teller walked over.
It was Sanjin, the Fox Folk fortune teller who had known Ji Yuan before.
Sanjin was somewhat surprised to see Jing Yuan.
"General, what brings you here?"
"Just wandering around."
Jing Yuan asked Sanjin, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Sanjin shook his head. "It's nothing, it's just that people from the Interastral Peace Corporation came looking for Ji Yuan. I just happened to come and ask, so as not to delay anything."
Jing Yuan looked at Ji Yuan, seemingly curious about when he had become involved with the Interastral Peace Corporation.
Ji Yuan explained, "It's an inheritance left to me by my parents, which involves the Interastral Peace Corporation. I just thought they would just send a document back, but I didn't expect them to actually send people here."
"Um."
Jing Yuan nodded.
"In that case, you should go back first, so as not to delay your business."
"Uh-huh."
Although he agreed, Ji Yuan still waited for Huohuo and Firefly to catch up with him before going home.
When Ji Yuan returned, he immediately saw a girl holding a strangely shaped piggy bank looking around at his door.
Chapter 145 Topaz and Dr. Ratio, Helpers from the Interastral Peace Corporation [Second Update]
The woman in front of him wasn't very old; her short silver hair turned red at the ends, and one strand of hair was completely pure red.
Wearing a bodysuit resembling a uniform, she showcased her slender waist, wide hips, and fleshy thighs. Especially her thighs, outlined by the bodysuit, were incredibly attractive to onlookers. It made one eager to see what it would feel like to lie on it.
The young woman ran up to Ji Yuan and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you. Please allow me to introduce myself briefly. My name is Topaz, and I work in the Strategic Investment Department of Interastral Peace Corporation. I've heard a lot about Mr. Ji Yuan's achievements. It's a pleasure to meet you! This is my good partner, Numby. Come on, say hello to everyone!"
The piggy bank held in Topaz's arms let out a cry.
"Hello. Come in, Miss Topaz."
Seeing how polite others were, Ji Yuan naturally returned the courtesy. However, as he placed his hand on the doorway, he hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Topaz.
Seeing Ji Yuan's actions, Topaz chuckled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Before you return, we wanted to visit your home first. However, my companion who came with me is from the Erudition Society and had some conflict with your teacher, so we left first. Don't worry, it's just a conflict of academic theory and doesn't involve anything else."
The last sentence was added by Topaz when he saw Ji Yuan's unfriendly expression.
Do Erudition Society?
Ji Yuan had a fairly good understanding of this organization.
Unlike Genius Society that advocate for a small group of geniuses, the Erudition Society is more concerned with the dissemination and aggregation of knowledge.
Ji Yuan n't want to consider the pros and cons of either side. However, he didn't particularly like the idea of the Erudition Society cooperating with and working for the Interastral Peace Corporation.
Now that the person from the Erudition Society has left, Topaz is the only one left, so he doesn't need to worry about so much.
He invited Topaz into his home.
Nguyen Mai was eating snacks when she saw Topaz and Ji Yuan walking towards her. She asked Topaz, "Has your companion left?"
"Yes, that's right."
Topaz gave a wry smile and nodded.
"If that's the case, then I won't stay here. Little girl from the Interastral Peace Corporation, these pastries are homemade; you can try them." Ruan Mei stood up and headed upstairs.
She could get a word out of Erudition Society Meadow, but she didn't want to waste her time on Topaz.
Topaz was aware of this, but she couldn't and wouldn't be angry at the members of the Genius Society. Instead, she watched Nguyen Mai go upstairs with a smile.
Seeing that they were discussing serious matters, Firefly and Huohuo didn't want to linger and quietly went upstairs.
Only Ji Yuan and Topaz remained in the living room.
Sitting opposite Ji Yuan, Topaz picked up a document.
Topaz said to Ji Yuan, "Hello, Mr. Ji Yuan, we are here to redeem your bonds."
"Isn't this something that can be done by just having someone send a document?" Ji Yuan picked up the document Topaz had passed over and looked at it, a look of surprise on his face.
This is not a simple debt transfer document, but a debt acquisition contract. Interastral Peace Corporation intends to acquire all the debts held by Ji Yuan.
Moreover, the acquisition was conducted in accordance with the agreed returns on the bonds held by Ji Yuan.
In other words, regardless of how much Ji Yuan's parents paid for the bonds, Ji Yuan can immediately receive the returns stated on the bonds as soon as he sells them. Furthermore, considering that Jarilo has been out of contact for hundreds of years, these debts should have been dead debts, but now the Interastral Peace Corporation intends to turn them into live debts and pay them off to Ji Yuan.
This is equivalent to a country going bankrupt, and its national debt becomes worthless. Some people buy it at worthless prices, while others want to exchange it for it at the original price.
"Goodness, these people really went to great lengths to bribe me."
Ji Yuan thought to himself.
When he became a member of the Genius Society, Nguyen Mai told him that the Interastral Peace Corporation would spare no effort in sponsoring members of the Genius Society, and that the company would provide whatever they wanted.
"However, once they achieve their goals and have the ability to turn against you, they are just as quick to do so. There are examples of this in the history of the Genius Society. The [Imaginary Collapse Pulse] technology that the company now possesses was obtained after they had used up the members of the Genius Society."
Nguyen Mai gave Ji Yuan a final piece of advice.
Upon seeing the acquisition contract for Topaz, Ji Yuan immediately understood what the plan was.
Unfortunately, he wasn't interested in it.
Ji Yuan pushed the contract back and said to Topaz, "Thank you for the company's kindness, but I'd rather go see that planet than spend Credits."
As if he had been prepared, Topaz took out another contract from his pocket.
"Alright, this is our company's debt confirmation contract. We have confirmed your debt. From now on, as the head of the special debt investigation team, you will be responsible for helping you collect this debt."
"You'll take responsibility?"
"Yes, it's only right that we help collect the debts from the bonds our company sells. Once we get to Jarilo, our people will assess their value and decide how to repay your debt."
Topaz said with a serious expression.
Ji Yuan thought for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Ji Yuan and Topaz shook hands.
Afterwards, seeing that nothing was wrong, Topaz said goodbye to Ji Yuan and left.
After she left, Ruan Mei came downstairs. While eating her snacks, she commented, "The Interastral Peace Corporation actually took advantage of you being a young person, trying to fool you with just a planet by sending a pretty girl. But it's fine, we were short-handed in the past, so we used those Interastral Peace Corporation employees as laborers and cannon fodder. I suppose the Interastral Peace Corporation was prepared to send those people."
"I'm fine as a laborer, but I don't want to be cannon fodder."
Ji Yuan shared the same plan as Ruan Mei, but he wasn't as ruthless as Ruan Mei.
"This time it's up to you, but in the future, try to show less kindness when dealing with the company. The higher up you go, the less you should show any kindness. If you show even the slightest kindness when cooperating with the company, they will take advantage of you and make you suffer."
"You can ask Herta about this kind of thing later. She's very good at how to get benefits from Interastral Peace Corporation without paying a price and without the company turning against you."
As her student, Nguyen Mai cared a lot.
"Yes, I will consult with Ms. Herta."
At this moment, Ruan Mei took Ji Yuan's hand, which startled Ji Yuan.
He looked around and whispered to Ruan Mei, "Teacher, it's daytime."
"I took you to do experiments and study the topic of creating the Emanator. Do you have some ideas about this?" Ruan Mei asked Ji Yuan.
No, not at all.
Ji Yuan quickly shook his head, denying it.
"Really? Then I hope you won't let it affect today's research. We're leaving in a couple of days, and it's not easy to do research on the spaceship."
Upon hearing Ruan Mei's words, Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment and looked towards the bathroom on the side.
"Otherwise, no one over there will hear it."
Sometimes, a period of reflection can be quite helpful for thinking.
"Good."
Nguyen Mai would certainly help her students focus without distractions.
On the other side, Topaz went outside and pressed the communication device hanging on his ear.
A flippant male voice came from the other end of the communication device.
"Hey, Topaz, I didn't expect you to steal the job that was supposed to be mine. You don't still have any kindness left, do you? As your colleague, let me warn you, if you really have any kindness in your heart, you'll be in for a very bad time."
"Aventurine, you don't need to remind me of these things. As a P45 employee of the company, I naturally know what I should and shouldn't do."
Topaz said coldly.
"Really? I thought you were worried that there were humans surviving on that planet and that Ruan Mei and Ji Yuan were experimenting on them. Let me remind you, the members of this debt collection team are all supplies for Ji Yuan and Ruan Mei. As their leader, you won't be an exception."
"I know."
"Okay, that's more like it. Although our level isn't low, we can't compare to the members of the Genius Society. If you create conflict between the two sides, it won't be resolved by demotion or salary reduction."
"I'm better at building a friendly relationship with Ji Yuan, the newest member of the Genius Society, than you are."
As Topaz said this, he tried to hang up the phone.
"That's right. No matter how talented Ji Yuan is, he is still a teenager in his adolescence."
Not wanting to hear any of Aventurine's words, Topaz hung up the phone with a dark expression.
"You're too impatient. Perhaps deep down you're afraid that what Aventurine just said will actually happen."
A person appeared next to Topaz.
She is tall and slender.
