Most of the messengers are essentially just mortal beings with certain authority over destiny, capable of directly using destiny energy.
The company's internal view of Ling Shi is that he is a "difficult to deal with" individual, rather than an "unmanageable" one.
Oswaldo also supports this view, and whether or not he opposes the envoy depends solely on whether the rewards are commensurate with the effort.
However, everyone agrees that the Intellectual Envoy is the exception.
That sense of dread did not come from the great power of the messenger, but from the power of the genius himself to forever change the galaxy!
Especially this new intellectual envoy in front of me, she skipped the step of using tools. If a genius doesn't need resources or manpower, he can directly present his ideas in the world of realization.
She is definitely one of the most troublesome messengers!
"Boss, what should we do?"
The P43 management suddenly felt the warship floor beneath their leather shoes become as soft as a swamp—actually, their knees went weak and they collapsed to their knees.
I thought it was a great opportunity to go on a trip with my boss and maybe even make some extra money, but who would have thought things would turn out like this?
Their enemies are not merely civilizations that cannot leave their home planet or magical girls who are close to the Envoy.
It was not a powerful intellectual messenger!
That densely packed and ready-to-go fleet of warships is something even the company's main armed forces might not be able to defeat!
The market development department is just a business department. Its starships are enough to crush ordinary civilizations, but the opponent is a genius!
"Has the assessment been completed?"
Oswaldo felt a chill run down his spine, but as the supervisor, he quickly regained his composure and tried to calmly examine the analysis results.
"The enemy's ship type is unknown, but according to the technical department's analysis, it is likely a combination of the latest technologies, surpassing our armed ships in both technological level and quantity..."
"If a direct battle were to occur, with the current configuration, our probability of winning is 0.01... and the probability of being completely annihilated is 99.9..."
The analyst really wanted to add a suggestion: surrender on the spot!
They're just employees. Although the market development department pays well, there's no need for them to work themselves to the bone!
Especially when you go to war for no reason and can't win at all.
Oswaldo's expression was somewhat numb.
How could he not know that the so-called 0.001 was actually just a comforting thought given by science, a pure expectation of a miracle?
"Madam, I think there might be some misunderstanding between you and the company."
Sweating profusely, Oswaldo frantically pondered how to break the deadlock. First, he ordered the entire fleet to deactivate its fire control system.
then……
Shh, can we make peace?
He is an ambitious and ruthless schemer, not the brain-dead villain Yun Leng, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, who fights to the death with a Dou Huang powerhouse for the sake of an outer sect steward.
Who would argue to the bitter end over something trivial or intellectual?
Why do something if there's no benefit to it?
As for provoking the company?
Please, they even provoked the Venerable Master of Learning!
If the situation continues to escalate and drags the entire company down over such a trivial matter, not only will he lose his chance to compete for a board seat, but he will also lose his management position!
Britta glanced at Oswaldo with her silver-purple eyes, ignoring him completely, and reached out her small hand to pull Qiong forward.
"The warships are all controlled by intelligent AI, so you have 100% command authority and can do whatever you want."
Possessing both the arrogance of the Black Tower and the dashing spirit of the Hare, Britta spoke with a beaming smile, as if she had just bought a limited-edition starship figurine for her boyfriend, her cherry lips pressed against the corner of Sora's mouth:
"If it's not enough, ask me for more later."
Britta actually had a simpler way to deal with the company fleet.
Haunted Rabbit is a super hacker; she's almost reached the level of Silver Wolf. With her genius-level intelligence, Britta is definitely a cosmic-level hacker.
With the help of the Ether Editor and the Herrscher of Reason, they could easily seize control of the company's fleet and even make them fight each other!
Britta has a million ways to make them perish among the stars!
But she has no grudge against the company; Black Tower is actually a partner with interests tied to the company. Why start off with this fighting?
Don't forget, Qiong's main purpose is to collect debts from the company!
All she needs to do is show support for Qiong and demonstrate her little pink fists~
Hearing Bunita's generous words, which sounded like a rich woman giving a gift to her boyfriend, Oswaldo broke out in another cold sweat.
What do you mean by "If it's not enough, ask me for more"?
Is it possible to create more fleets?
"Bunita, Bunita!"
When Xing saw Britta construct a starship with a wave of her hand, she fell silent. Thinking of Brownie's power and the knowledge of the Black Tower, the gray-haired girl's golden eyes shone brightly.
Xing rushed over and snuggled up to Bunita's arm, acting all cute.
"Could you make me a unicorn?"
"unicorn?"
Britta blinked. The Black Tower's rationality told her that in space warfare, designing mechs as humanoids was purely to reduce killing efficiency.
But in just a moment, he was overwhelmed by Brownie and Hare's personalities.
"Okay, okay~ I just can't do anything with you."
With a doting tone, crafting a Gundam was a piece of cake for her, who possessed the power of Ether editing and the authority of reason, and was a genius.
"Great!"
The Star Core Spirits cheered with joy.
March 7th and Toppa, cloaked in reality, had no interest in the stars.
"Aba Aba..."
Little March stared wide-eyed at the fleet that had appeared out of nowhere.
Toppa was silent, a silence unlike any he had ever known.
Neither she nor her boss Diamond could have imagined that Qiong could push the market development department to this extent.
Oswaldo is in deep trouble this time!
Using Brownie's part of consciousness to tell Britta that she wanted one too, Qiong walked up to the man in the custom-made suit.
"Oswaldo, head of the market development department?"
"It's me, Mr. Qiong, hello."
Oswaldo's demeanor at this moment was a textbook example of interstellar diplomatic etiquette: respectful, courteous, and refined, showcasing the company's civilized side.
Seeing Oswaldo's attitude, Qiong smiled and shook his hand:
"I believe this must be a wonderful misunderstanding."
"We are all civilized people. Fighting and killing is not good. That's something only space pirates do. If it affects the company's star system and we accidentally blow up a few mining planets, what a pity that would be."
"Mr. Qiong's insight is brilliant."
"I heard that you've been developing a large portion of the market in the Milky Way."
"No, no, no! I'm just a gofer for the company, and only one of its legs."
Oswaldo held up one finger.
"So how many legs does the company actually have?"
Qiong crossed her arms, looking puzzled.
"No matter how many legs it has, this one is a thigh."
Qiong casually draped her arm over Oswaldo's shoulder, playfully flicking his expensive tie with her fingers, and grinned.
"Oh my gosh~ You have such a powerful backer, how come you still owe our little Belloberg a little maintenance fee?"
As she spoke, Qiong brought out the 700-year debt contract for Belloberg and the maintenance cost contract drafted by the Interstellar Peace Company.
"More than seven hundred interstellar standard years! Children in our country count those days on their fingers every single day!"
"Are you going to renege on your debt? Can you really bear to see them unable to even afford a 790-credit eyebrow pencil?"
Qiong was actually quite disappointed. Why didn't this guy have that kind of bewitching spirit, disregarding interests and fighting to the death just for a little face?
When will they be able to extort even more from the company?
"...Hehe, of course not."
Oswaldo really wanted to punch that smiling face, but he glanced at the Wisdom Envoy in the distance, who was communicating with Screw Gum and Ruan Mei.
Three geniuses!
"The company will cover the maintenance costs for the Bellberg walls, however, is this annual maintenance cost a bit... I think we can discuss it further."
This time, we've failed!
Oswaldo was certain that if he reported the situation to the higher-ups, they would rather pay him than offend the three geniuses.
That number was astronomical for Ariello, but it wouldn't cripple the company, and besides, it was still negotiable.
Ultimately, it was the company that first came up with an unreasonable treaty to covet the planet Yalilo. If the company hadn't brought up that issue, the other party wouldn't have been able to use it as an excuse to make a move.
He spent all his time hunting geese, only to have his eye pecked by one.
Interstellar commerce is ultimately supported by force.
However, Oswaldo could not ignore the incredible and bizarre methods that Qiong had displayed.
Oswaldo smiled outwardly as he gazed at the grinning gray-haired youth before him, but his mind was heavy.
Who exactly is he?
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 473 Wife, Our Family is Rich Now!
"Hey~ You two have time to come here and join in the fun?"
Her figure transformed into a neon-colored data block, blurring in the void, and in an instant appeared out of thin air in another space, clearly reconstructing itself. Britta modified the distance in reality and arrived in front of Screw Gum and Ruan Mei.
The fitted, dark purple long functional coat, paired with a gradient sheer skirt that sways gently with every step, resembles a flowing black hole starry sky.
With her hands in her pockets, she tilted her head and sized up Luo Sigu and Ruan Mei, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Is the simulation of the universe's locust plague complete?"
Her tone was quite familiar, and her pretty face wore a smile that perfectly blended a dashing arrogance with a deep sense of narcissism.
"..."
A strange sense of familiarity washed over them, and Screw Gum and Ruan Mei exchanged a glance.
After a brief silence, ScrewGumm nodded slightly, his mechanical voice steady and calm, yet carrying a barely perceptible hint of probing:
"Logical retrieval: A behavioral pattern with 87.6% similarity to Ms. Black Tower was detected. Are you related to her?"
"Huh? 87.6%? Brownie only caused Black Tower's personality to shift by 12.4%?"
Britta trotted along with her unrestrained steps, smiling and whispering to herself.
"It can't be that little bit. Oh, then their personalities just overlap."
"Tsk tsk, this is probably not good news for Miss Hatto."
Her words and actions exuded a cool and confident air, and her sharp demeanor radiated an indescribable charm, even causing Ruan Mei, a woman with a gentle and unassuming nature, to momentarily lose her composure.
Cloth!
This appearance truly lives up to the exaggerated boasts of the Black Tower back then.
Ruan Mei's pupils reflected the girl's delicate face, a kind of near-perfect biological aesthetic!
If the deity who governs pure beauty were still alive, He would probably cast His gaze upon this flawless and supreme beauty.
