Kevin, but he is a male mother in Xingtie with little Ai Li

but......

"Dimensional piggy bank, what kind of creature is that?"

Leaving a lot of important issues unaddressed, Kevin suddenly asked Paddy beside him a seemingly completely unnecessary question.

Kevin could sense that the ability used by this seemingly insignificant little guy just now was not just as simple as traveling through space. It was some kind of deeper ability that spanned different dimensions... It was like the gap between the normal world and the rift space.

It can only be said that the world is full of wonders. Many civilizations have been pursuing a level that is difficult to reach for thousands of years, but this seemingly harmless little creature has an innate ability. It is really hard to imagine what kind of natural conditions can give rise to such a creature?

Compared to other things that are always related to interests, these natural wonders are more likely to arouse Kevin's interest.

"Boss Kevin, you don't know? If I remember correctly, according to the description of those scholars, this should be an interdimensional creature that got lost from its homeland. It is written in the illustrated book as follows: mild in nature, bitter in taste... well, inedible."

When little Pardo uttered the last few big words, it was obvious that the baby in Topa's arms trembled a few times, then turned its head and stuck its butt out and burrowed into the girl's arms, hiding there and refusing to show its head no matter what.

"Hey, Miss Pardo, please don't scare our little one."

Obviously, as a professional investor, Topa had already investigated all the information before coming here. After calling Padu's name softly, she carefully comforted the little pet in her arms: "Okay, okay. This lady can't really eat you. I've never seen you so scared of anything before."

After being comforted by Topa for several rounds, the dimensional piggy bank finally left her arms and jumped around, and its entire body completely disappeared into the hole leading to other dimensions - but Kevin had reason to believe that it had merely changed to another dimension and was still nearby.

Or, he who is also very sensitive in this aspect can feel it...

"Okay, Mr. Kevin. I think we shouldn't go too far off topic. Now that you know why I'm here, you should also understand what this investment can bring to you... As long as you can show enough 'value', the 'company' will naturally be able to respond adequately in terms of compensation."

"Of course, I can get more from it - although I don't really care how much money I can get."

Just as the girl said, she was very sincere.

He was so sincere that he seemed to have completely abandoned the so-called business etiquette and directly put the problem that could be seen with the naked eye in front of Kevin, allowing the other party to make a choice: whether he intended to continue to deepen this cooperation.

Hearing this, Kevin looked directly into the other person's gem-like eyes and replied without any hesitation: "As long as there are no mandatory equal clauses, I don't care about the so-called beneficial cooperation."

Simply put, Kevin can certainly accept cooperation with the "company", but it does not mean that he is willing to become a pawn under the other party.

"That's great. As far as both of us are concerned, this is the best proposal right now. Believe me, this is definitely a win-win cooperation."

Topa clapped her hands lightly, and a contract that she had already drafted was placed directly in front of Kevin.

But as I said before, in a universe that is too vast, it is difficult for any strong law enforcement agency to cover most areas. The main binding force of this contract is of course the strength of the "company". In other words: they are willing to abide by such an agreement with you, not for any other reason.

Of course, if there really comes a day when it is necessary, Kevin will let the other party know that the binding force of the contract is not only reflected on the direct side of the "company".

Chapter 220 I won't pay you for breathing

Kevin quickly scanned the new contract and after confirming that there were no mandatory or unfair clauses on it, he gently placed his palm at the bottom.

In this way, Kevin's relationship with the company will be further deepened. And it is worth mentioning that Topa even upgraded Kevin's authority and treatment from P43 to P44. Only one step away, Kevin can also be regarded as a senior executive of the company.

Not to mention the other parts of the contract, this one item alone can be considered an extremely generous treatment. You know, Topa's own level is only P45, which is probably a level that countless people can never reach in their entire lives.

Some small favors can be considered as a gesture of goodwill, but when such favors reach a large enough level, you should suspect whether the other party still has other purposes.

"Mmm...perfect!"

Sure enough, just after Topa took the contract back into her arms with great satisfaction, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Mr. Kevin, I should have mentioned it just now... I came to the Immortal Boat because of Zhang Zhang's special ability to perceive "wealth", right?"

"Originally, my mission was to go to Ms. Black Tower's space station to collect debts and make an accurate assessment of the series of projects invested by the 'company' in the space station—"

"Similarly, as the person directly in charge of the contract, I am also responsible for accurately evaluating your abilities and values ​​for a month... I wonder if you are interested in accompanying me to Ms. Black Tower's space station so that I can work overtime to improve my performance?"

After saying that, Topa even winked at Kevin playfully, as if expecting him to agree to his request.

It was at this time that this seemingly young girl no longer looked like a profit-seeking businessman, but more like an ordinary girl... It was a pity that after experiencing a series of baptisms, Kevin was most afraid of these unreliable children.

But he could actually feel that the girl in front of him was more than just her appearance. Her real age was indeed... not necessarily older than that of Xier from Beloberg?

Kevin sighed softly and imperceptibly, as if regretting his lost leisure time, and then he slowly closed his eyes after taking a look at the performance of his little Padu.

"I have no objection."

After seeing the generous treatment in the contract, Kevin thought that the current situation would be like this, and it was not unexpected.

Besides, if he really wanted to do something in this universe...how could it be possible if he stayed somewhere alone?

"In that case, Mr. Kevin, please quickly arrange the affairs on Luofu... There is a proverb that says time is money. We should prepare to set off today!"

"When the time is about right, I will send a message to Miss Padu~"

While waving his hands, Topa left the courtyard without any reluctance, and very tactfully gave the remaining time to a few people.

Even though the other party might be lacking in etiquette, his observation of things and his ability to know when to advance and retreat are countless times better than Kevin's own naughty child in every aspect.

Perhaps the only thing that could make Kevin feel slightly relieved was that Walter's child was not much better.

"How amazing... Miss Topa doesn't look much older than us, but she's already a senior executive of the company?!"

After a while, San Yue Qi, who was freed from the ice by Kevin, patted her butt and climbed up from the ground. She naturally heard all the conversations just now, but she couldn't understand why the gap between people was so big.

It's like, when you are at the same high school age, others have already bought hundreds of villas and luxury cars, but you are still worrying about how to survive next week with the remaining money after charging for game games... Is this really what should happen in the same world?

Hearing this, San Yue Qi's good sister Xing, who also had to eat instant noodles every day, nodded in agreement and said in contempt, "This is the evil capitalist!"

"Capitalists? I know that! Aren't they just a bunch of really hateful people? Who doesn't know how to exploit others? They make money by making their employees work overtime every day... If I own a company, I would do the same!"

San Yueqi was filled with righteous indignation, and even made a classic statement: "I can do it too." It was as if the difference between him and those people was simply that his uncle Yang was not as rich as them, so he could not inherit billions of assets.

Seeing the girl's fearless appearance, Kevin finally decided to teach this young child a lesson.

"Do you know what kind of behavior can be considered exploitation?" Kevin suddenly asked.

"Um... twelve hour work day?"

"Do not."

Kevin shook his head, gently stretched out his hand and patted March Seven on the head, then walked straight into the house: "Breathe after get off work, I won't pay you for breathing."

“Hmm??!”

San Yueqi was about to say something, but was horrified to find that his mouth had been sealed with ice by Kevin!

Uncle Kevin! Why is he like this!

———— ————

"So, the people from the 'company' came to the Luofu Immortal Boat today just to take him away? Hmm... just as I expected, those guys would never give up such a wonderful investment opportunity."

In another unknown room on the immortal boat Luofu, Jing Yuan clapped his hands lightly as he listened to his subordinates' reports - it could be said that this was the only good news he had heard in these days.

"But, General..."

Beside him, Fu Xuan asked anxiously after hearing the news: "If he knew that you were the one who released this news, wouldn't it be a bit too......"

As for his stance, Fu Xuan was of course firmly on the side of the Immortal Boat Alliance. But they had just helped him, but they sold him out. Wasn't this behavior obviously inappropriate?

"No, no, no, Fu Qing. This is not an act of betrayal. On the contrary, this is a good thing for him."

"Besides, my friend... he should have realized this a long time ago, right?"

Chapter 221 What is the meaning of Herta?

"Really, Mr. Kevin, have you never heard of...Ms. Black Tower?"

About a dozen system hours later, Kevin had brought his two children, Padu and Alicia, on board Topa's spaceship to the so-called Black Tower Space Station. When facing Kevin's question, Topa's first reaction was a little... doubtful?

After seeing Kevin nod his head seriously, she finally sighed and said, "Well, it seems that the place where Mr. Kevin was originally staying is more remote than I thought... Because logically speaking, even if some of these famous scientists in the universe have not understood it, they should know something about it."

"Let me guess... you haven't even heard of the name of the 'Genius Club'?"

"..."

Kevin didn't say anything in response to this question, but his slightly closed eyes probably explained everything.

"Well, it's okay for me to give you a brief introduction. After all, there is inevitably some information that ordinary people can't get access to... and Mr. Kevin, you are already a P44-level backbone of the company."

After soliciting votes for the "Company", Topa coughed lightly and quickly explained to Kevin: "Just as every Star God inevitably has a faction that follows them, the Star God of "Wisdom", Boshizun, naturally has an organization called the "Genius Club" under his name."

"Mr. Kevin should also understand that in the course of civilization development, there will always be many geniuses who lead the entire race forward. That is to say, people with talent are not uncommon, and everyone should have a field that they can be proud of among the crowd."

"It's just that, just like ordinary people occasionally give birth to geniuses, among these geniuses, sometimes there will be even more talented people... They can break through the shackles of secular civilization, and even rely on their personal wisdom to transcend the laws of civilization itself and leap to the forefront of the development of the universe..."

"To be honest, everyone in the 'Genius Club' deserves this description. And the lady we are looking for this time, Ms. Heita, is the 83rd of the 'Genius Club', which has only had 84 members since its inception. Their ranking is not based on ability, but they joined the club at different times."

In other words, the lady in the black tower mentioned by Topa was the second to last person to join the "Genius Club" according to the current time. And according to her description, in the past thousands of years, there have only been eighty-four people who have been favored by "Intelligence".

Thousands of years may not sound like a very long time, but if the scope of space is expanded to the entire universe, the number of intelligent creatures born every moment would probably be counted in billions at least.

However, even with such a huge amount of data, the "Intelligence" only selected eighty-four people as representatives - so one can imagine how terrifying the intelligence of those guys has reached.

What kind of concept is it to break through the shackles of civilization with one person's strength? It's like the whole civilization is still in the era of using cold weapons to fight, but this guy has built a laser cannon with simple basic materials... How can this war be fought?

Kevin had certainly seen many geniuses, whether it was Mebius or MEI, they could be included among them. Even in the thousands of years of the new civilization, he had also seen countless philosophers who had transcended the shackles of civilization, but due to the limitations of the times, most of their ideas were difficult for the world to understand.

But from Toppa's mouth at this moment, it seemed that those people could only serve as a foil for these geniuses?

"You still don't seem to understand? Forget it, anyway, to put it simply - the development of civilization still has some geniuses as guides, and these geniuses chosen by "intelligence" can be regarded as the navigators of the entire universe... Although, most of them can be regarded as unethical people."

As she said this, Topa spread her hands helplessly. She certainly didn't understand the thoughts of those geniuses, just like many people in the "company" couldn't understand her.

"In fact, the synesthesia beacon, the cornerstone of communication for modern cosmic civilization, was invented by Mr. Elijah Salas #56 of the Genius Club. It is no exaggeration to say that this is absolutely an invention of epoch-making significance. It has successfully enabled different races and civilizations in the universe to transcend the barriers of language and communicate equally at the same level."

"With just one injection, the central nervous system will process the beacon, and you will be able to understand the most unfamiliar language in a distant world, as if you were listening to your hometown accent... This can even be considered one of the reasons why the "company" has been able to develop to this day, which is really amazing."

The thinking activities of civilized creatures are mainly presented in the form of inner language. Just like people are unaware of it, but when they read, they will silently recite in their minds and form thoughts.

If we can skip the transmission process, connect each other's perceptions, convert the inner language code, and then let the other party's language cognitive system automatically process and restore it, the obstacles blocking communication will be swept away - both this concept and the ability to put it into action are completely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, at the same time, Topa was also very keenly aware of one point - that is, when she said the name Synesthesia Beacon, Kevin's expression seemed to reveal some...confusion?

"Wait a minute, Mr. Kevin, have you never implanted a synesthesia beacon?" Topa asked with a slight pause.

Hearing this, Kevin just glanced at her and told her the truth: "Convert inner thoughts into language? No... I can do that by myself, without any external help."

Topa: "......?!"

Doesn't this mean that as long as Kevin is willing, he can achieve a certain degree of mind reading and directly intercept the other person's thoughts before they open their mouths?

To be honest, Topa was not afraid, but he could not help but feel a little envious. After all, if this ability could be used in business negotiations, how successful would it be?

But at this moment, Kaiwen suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What is the name of the place we are going to this time?"

"The Black Tower Space Station in orbit around the Azure Star. Any questions, Mr. Kevin?"

Kevin turned around and shook his head slightly.

"No, it's nothing."

So it's Herta...

Chapter 222: Hard, Fist Hard

It was because he had been relying on his mind to interpret things subconsciously that Kevin almost forgot what the name Herta meant.

Even though he had the ability to directly analyze thoughts due to the Chimera Project, Kevin still relied on his photographic memory to memorize most of the languages ​​in the world at that time.

What he could not possibly remember wrong was that Herta meant... the Earth.

Even a name like the Azure Planet seems quite reasonable to use to call the Earth?

After forming a preconceived subjective judgment, Kevin will inevitably imagine it as he wants it to be, no matter what the description is.

But in fact, Kevin knew very well that it could not be the planet he was familiar with. Even if the name Herta was not completely coincidental, it was at most a place that resembled a parallel world.

Or maybe Kevin, who has never heard any news from the Earth so far, can boldly guess...that is where the real Earth is in this universe?

"How long will it take us to reach our destination?" Kevin suddenly asked after thinking for a moment.

"How long? Well, I don't know how to describe this question."

Topa patted his head in annoyance before explaining, "Although the theory of the 'Tree of Imaginary Numbers' proposed by #1 Zandar I. Kuwahara of the 'Genius Club' has been fully disproven today, there is no doubt that what separates different galaxies is not just space."

"So, the distance of space travel cannot be calculated simply by time. If you must use a quantifier to describe it, then I can only say... now?"
