Give Star Iron a little MC shock

As Toppa's direct superior, [Diamond] naturally spoke first, smiling and reassuring him: "Toppa, don't be nervous. This meeting isn't because you made a mistake at work, but because of that special phenomenon that swept across the entire galaxy not long ago."

"Special...phenomenon?"

Toppa immediately thought of the End Poem, which everyone had been forced to watch before.

Somewhat uncertainly, Toppa asked the senior figures, "Is it that poem?"

"Besides that, what else could it be? Are the people in the strategic investment department really that stupid?"

The person who said this was a figure sitting on the other side of [Diamond], and his tone was full of mockery towards the Strategic Investment Department.

Upon hearing this, Toppa narrowed his eyes. Although he felt resentful, he dared not show it, as that would only cause trouble for [Diamond].

[Diamond] naturally wouldn't let others slander its own employees, and retorted with a forced smile.

"Your market development department is no good either. How come we were the ones who got in touch with Mr. Xing He first? We don't need you for anything with Mr. Xing He, Oswaldo Schneider."

Oswaldo scoffed, "It was just a stroke of luck. My men are already on their way. Heh, don't come crying to us later saying that Director Xing He was kidnapped by us."

[Diamond], however, was unconcerned: "Who among you doesn't know about your feud with the Star Train? I remember that title very clearly, one of the few nameless passengers who were expelled from the Star Train, don't you think? Oswaldo."

Boom!

Oswaldo slammed his fist on the table in anger, staring fiercely at [Diamond] as if he were about to flip the table and fight [Diamond] to the death.

[Diamond's] words were like a steel nail, piercing the place he least wanted to be mentioned.

"Alright, alright, gentlemen, the purpose of this meeting isn't to listen to you two arguing, is it?"

The head of the building materials logistics department, [Taravan], finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to smooth things over.

[Diamond] and Oswaldo both snorted coldly and turned their heads away, no longer looking at each other.

Seeing that the two of them had finally quieted down, Taravan turned to look at Toppa.

“Topa, we came to see you because of that poem, but apart from the guys doing research, we don’t really care about the content of the poem. But Amber King cares a lot about it.”

"Amber King?" Toppa couldn't help but feel surprised. They had previously guessed that the two beings in the poem were two star gods.

It seems that's not the case now?

Talavan nodded: "The Amber King has never made any demands on us. We have always contributed our efforts for [preservation]. But this time is different. Not long after that hymn ended, He contacted us and said He needed some building materials from Xinghe. This is the first time He has expressed such a clear need to us. Toppa, you should know what this means, right?"

Topa nodded; she naturally understood the importance of this matter.

This was the first time the Amber King had made a request to mortals like them, since the Star Gods never expressed their needs to mortals.

This demand is of great significance!

If it cannot be completed smoothly, it may cause Amber King to be disappointed with the company.

Realizing the importance of the matter, Topa quickly asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

Taravan nodded: "What you need to do is very simple: maintain a good relationship between Director Xing He and the company, and then try your best to obtain building materials that meet Amber King's needs from Director Xing He. During this period, the entire company will cooperate with all your actions."

"Yes, I understand."

Toppa breathed a sigh of relief. This new task was not complicated and had a high degree of overlap with the previous tasks. The only difference was that there was an additional task of purchasing building materials from Xing He.

“Since you understand, we won’t say any more. Remember Toppa, this matter concerns the foundation of the company!” Taravan once again emphasized the importance and seriousness of this matter.

[Diamond] spoke up at this point: "Topa, don't feel guilty. If you need help, Emerald and the others will be happy to come and help you. All you need to do is make a phone call."

Upon hearing the name Emerald, Toppa couldn't help but smile.

"oh, I understand now."

Once the bigwigs realized Toppa understood, they ended their remote communication with her.

However, their meeting did not end there.

Diamond glanced at Oswaldo: "Someone can retire early now. The Strategic Investment Department will handle this."

Oswaldo scoffed dismissively, "Looks like the strategic investment department's judgment isn't very good after all..."

Diamond narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

Meanwhile, near the Jade Gate of the Immortal Ship Luofu, a team of members from the market development department of the Interstellar Peace Company arrived at the Starry Sky Train parked at the Jade Gate, carrying many expensive gifts.

The leader straightened his clothes, making sure there was nothing improper about them, and then raised his hand to knock on the door of the Starry Sky Train.

"Hello! We are from the company. May we meet with Ms. Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train?"

Himeko and Welt, who were chatting about the End Poem in the observation car, heard the sound outside the door, exchanged a puzzled look, and then got up to open the door.

The members of the market development department walked in, and the team leader, who was smiling, was about to speak when he was suddenly covered by a huge shadow.

Turning their heads, they saw the massive Iron Brother slowly walking up to them.

It eyed the group of people up and down menacingly.

Chapter 136 Exploiting the Amber King

“Um…this…Mr. Omnic? We’re just here to discuss business…”

Seeing Tie Ge's extremely unfriendly gaze, the leader couldn't help but shrink back.

Fortunately, Himeko stepped forward and stood between Tie Ge and them.

"Someone from the company? Why are they contacting us?"

Seeing Himeko step forward, the leader breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rubbed his hands together obsequiously, giving a wink to the employees behind him.

The employee behind him quickly stepped forward, opened the box he was carrying, and revealed a 'photograph' framed in glass.

"Light cone?"

Himeko was somewhat surprised. Light cones are extremely rare treasures no matter where they are placed. These people from the company didn't even say what their purpose was, but just came up with such a large sum of money to bring out these light cones.

"Judging from your outstanding demeanor, you must be the famous navigator, Ms. Himeko, from the Starry Sky Train, right?"

Himeko didn't dislike the people in the company, but she didn't particularly like them either. Besides, she felt that these people were either trying to curry favor for no reason or had ulterior motives, so her tone was somewhat indifferent.

"We wouldn't call ourselves famous. Just tell us why you're here."

Walter also noticed that Himeko's attitude was a bit off, and squinted his eyes to protect her.

Sensing the hostility in Himeko's tone, the leader quickly explained, "I'm Chad, the team leader of the Market Development Department. I'm here simply to make friends with everyone on the Starry Sky Train, so please don't misunderstand! Consider these light cones a small gift; please accept them!"

"Market Development Department?"

Upon hearing the name, Himeko's expression turned even colder. Pam, who was sweeping the floor nearby, immediately bristled upon hearing the word, grabbed her broom, and strode over, aggressively using it to drive the people away.

"Get out! People from the market development department aren't welcome on this train!"

Chad was repeatedly hit by the broom, and his once neat black suit was now covered in dust, making him look extremely disheveled.

Chad felt a surge of displeasure, but considering the task given to him by his minister, he had no choice but to suppress his displeasure and continue to explain with a smile.

"No, please. I know that Star Train has had some past conflicts with our department head. This time, the department head sent me to apologize to you all! I hope you can accept these gifts that represent our apology."

Himeko glanced at him coldly and said, "Hmph, apologize? Then let him come in person instead of sending you employees. Please leave."

Chad was furious. How dare the mere Star Train be so ungrateful!

Do you know that he makes millions every minute?

If it weren't for the minister's personal order, he wouldn't want to do such a lowly job!

"No, our minister sincerely wants to..."

Himeko was getting impatient and raised her hand to interrupt him before he could finish speaking.

"You can leave now. Don't make me say it again. The train doesn't welcome the Market Development Department."

Seeing that Himeko's attitude was so firm, Chad had no choice but to shut up, suppressing his anger as he waved to his men and left the train.

After these people left, Himeko closed the car door, and Walter adjusted his glasses and asked, "They came because of Xing He, right?"

Himeko nodded, glanced at Pam beside her who was still angry about hearing the name "Market Development Department," and reached out to pat its head to comfort it.

"Ha, he had so many opportunities to apologize in person before, but he never came. But after Xing He got into this mess, the market development department rushed over to apologize."

Walter continued, "There will probably be many more like this in the future. Shall I ask the general to stop these visitors?"

Himeko nodded: "Okay, thank you, Walter. I'll go and contact Xiao Xinghe and the others. I wonder how they're doing on Yalilo now."

————————————————————————————

At the gate of Belloburg.

Toppa was planning to take advantage of his opportunity to approach Xing He and subtly inquire whether Xing He was willing to sell those special building materials.

Upon arriving at the city gate, they found it completely surrounded, with a group of silver-brown iron guards desperately trying to maintain order.

Toppa squeezed through the crowd into the inner circle and saw March 7, Black Tower, Screw Gum, Nguyen May, and Dr. Truth watching Xing He operate something.

Toppa glanced at it twice and approached March 7, with whom he had a fairly good relationship: "March, what is Xing He doing?"

Toppa watched as Xing He arranged a one-cubic-meter-sized iron block in a T-shape on the ground, wondering what his intention was.

When March 7th saw that it was Toppa who had arrived, he replied with a grin, "Xing He is recruiting reinforcements. After all, such a big incident has happened, and he thinks that someone might come to Yalilo to cause trouble, so he is thinking of calling some helpers to come and help."

"helper?"

Topa paused, glancing at the iron block Xing He had laid out: "There's nothing here but iron? Or is he planning to contact his helpers by phone?"

"No, no, no, these iron blocks are his helpers!"

As soon as he finished speaking on March 7th, Xing He placed a carved pumpkin head on top of the iron block, and a loud thud was heard.

The iron block, along with the pumpkin head, transformed into the Iron Golem.

(Due to the sensitive word status, the character "kui" is replaced with another character, "魁".)

"Wow!"
