Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

He was able to buy online because his family had a VIP-like access to Star Peace Shopping, but he could only buy 20,000 Star Domes at a time.

Yes, this item is available in limited quantities.

He sighed, just about to check if there were any expedited delivery options, when he noticed an unread message on his chat app.

It was sent by Opal. A video with a caption following it.

Opal: "Film"

Opal: "Mr. Demon King, this is the video you requested. Are you satisfied with it?"

Lin Siyi was amused and clicked on the video to watch it.

When the screen lit up, he almost didn't recognize it as an opal.

In the beginning of the film, Opal and Toppa stand side by side, their legs slightly bent, and they start shaking their shoulders.

Although the movements were a bit stiff, the rhythm was surprisingly good, as if they had practiced many times.

Between the two people, Zhang Zhang was rolling around, her round belly facing upwards, her four short little legs waving in the air as if she were dancing.

As the background music progresses, the scene shifts from the air to a large group of company employees, all dressed in uniforms, lined up neatly in a square formation, and then simultaneously begin to squat and shrug their shoulders.

The footage was taken from above, and the scene looked as spectacular as some kind of large-scale ceremony.

Among the company employees, Zhenzhu appeared, her posture dignified, but her movements somewhat stiff.

It was more like she was singing, her lips opening and closing in sync with the rhythm of the background music.

In the final scene of the film, Opal, Toppa, and Pearl stand at the front, with a large group of company employees behind them, all repeating the shoulder-shaking motion.

Then Zhang Zhang flew in from off-screen, his entire body flying into the frame, his round belly taking up the whole screen, bringing the film to a close.

Lin Si watched the film from beginning to end, and then watched it again.

It was shot very well; the storyboard, jokes, background, and music were all perfectly timed. It could even be posted directly without editing.

But what he wanted to make was a "mixed-up parody" video, so...

It still needs to be edited.

Demon King: "Excellent filming! Mr. Opal! Thank you for the company's generous support!"

After he sent it, he added a thumbs-up emoji at the end.

Opal replied almost instantly.

Opal: "I'm glad you're satisfied. If you have any other tasks, just let me know, and the Strategic Investment Department will meet your requirements as soon as possible."

It was followed by a smiling emoji.

Lin Si's lips twitched.

To be honest, he still doesn't understand what the company's intentions are.

If Opal is willing to lower itself like this for P46, it means that what the company wants to gain from him is probably enormous.

He thought about it and decided to ask for clarification.

Demon King: "Mr. Opal, may I ask why the company invited me to join?"

Opal: "Huh? You didn't know?"

Lin Si raised an eyebrow.

Demon King: "Should I know?"

Opal: "That golden wheelchair of yours, was it a gift from the King of Amber?"

Lin Si understood what was going on when she saw the message.

Demon King: "You might not believe it, but this wheelchair was given to me by Aha."

Opal: "...Ah?"

Demon King: "That's right. So I think the company might have some misunderstandings about me. I'm not a guardian of the proclamation. In fact, for some reason, I don't even have destiny energy."

Opal looked at the message on the spaceship and his lips twitched.

He originally thought he was already quite skilled at Versailles, but he didn't expect there were still experts out there.

Without the power of destiny, how could one shoot that arrow?

He remained silent for a while before starting to type again.

Opal: "Have you ever had a dream, or experienced a scene where the King of Amber broke off a stone from His divine body and gave it to you?"

Lin Si was stunned when she saw the message.

How does this opal even know this?

But he had no need to hide it.

Demon King: "That has indeed happened. However, for some reason, I refused. That stone is not with me."

Opal frowned.

Can mortals refuse the Star Gods?

This was the first time he had ever heard of it.

Opal: "Could you tell me exactly how you refused?"

After thinking about it, Lin decided not to hide it.

After all, it's clear now that the company may have misunderstood him.

But saying it all out loud still isn't quite right.

The company's public statements have been quite good; it's better to convince the public of the Amber King than to convince them that he's just an ordinary person.

For example, yesterday, if it weren't for the gaze of the Emperor Bow Master, the people would never have believed him.

Demon King: "It's because I didn't want that stone that it split apart."

"Sigh~"

Opal gasped as he read the message.

He felt he really needed to learn from Lin Si about 'subtle pretentiousness'.

Lin Si didn't lie, but she didn't tell the whole story either; he could tell.

Mortals simply cannot refuse the gifts of the Star Gods. For example, Taravan, although he was the Protector of the Stars, did not believe in the Stars, yet he was still granted power by the Amber King.

The power of an envoy cannot be refused; the only way to relinquish this power is to actively "deviate" from one's destiny after this event has occurred.

But this is impossible to achieve in a short time, which also means that one will be retaliated against by fate.

The situation Lin Si described could only mean one other possibility.

At the same time he was granted this power, he prayed that the star god would do something else.

This can only be achieved by practicing one's destiny on a large scale and making significant contributions to it.

What kind of great achievement in protecting one's destiny could make Lin Si successfully refuse?

Opal thought for a long time, then froze.

"That mysterious force that covers the entire universe?"

He sat up abruptly, and the pacifier fell out of his mouth.

He looked down at his phone screen, his fingers trembling slightly.

If that's really the case, then Lin Si's "power" is far greater than the company imagines.

Opal: "Mr. Demon King, when you say 'that stone split,' do you mean it split into countless parts and scattered throughout the universe?"

Lin Si saw the message and remained silent for a moment.

Does this opal have such a profound understanding of destiny? It can deduce so much from such a small amount of information?

He neither denied nor admitted it.

He leaned against the headboard, looking out the window, and didn't reply for a long time.

The light from the phone screen flickered on his face, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, sometimes bright again.

Then he typed a line of text.

Demon King: "Well, I'm not too sure about that. But compared to that, I do have a few things I'd like to ask you for help with."

Chapter 278 How profound is a genius's understanding of destiny?

Opal: "No problem, these things will arrive at the Luofu Immortal Ship in a system time."

Lin Si was stunned when she saw the message.

He just asked Opal to see if there was an expedited channel, but it's a system issue.

He simply wanted to ask if there was a faster way to get it, but Opal gave him a promise of "delivery within the system's time limit".

He remained silent for a moment, neither refusing nor saying anything polite.

Saying these things at this point would seem like being hypocritical, like someone who has gained an advantage but is still acting innocent.

He has explained his situation to Opal, but it seems the company doesn't care whether he has destiny energy or not.

Demon King: "Then thank you, Mr. Opal."

Opal: "Don't be so polite with me, the Strategic Investment Department will always be your strongest support!"

After sending the message, perhaps feeling that he had said too much, Opal added another sentence.

"The second strongest support."

Lin Si smiled as she read the message, understanding what Opal meant.

If yesterday's message were to spread, the company would think he would be the future general of the Immortal Boat Alliance.

With the alliance in place, the company cannot force him to do anything.

To be honest, Lin Si doesn't think she can help the company in any way right now.

Then all I can do is try my best to boost the company's performance.

Demon King: "Thank you for the great support from the Strategic Investment Department!"

Opal looked at the message, a slight smile appeared on his face, and then he put his phone down.

He leaned back in his chair, swirled the pacifier in his mouth, and then began to look through information about Lin Si's family.

Lin Si's mother works at Sky Ship, and because of her position, the family has a "liaison officer" at the company, who is Lyndon Scott.

And not long ago, Lin Si placed an order with him for a batch of automated mechs.

Opal raised an eyebrow.

"Lydon Scott... why is it him again?"

He thought for a moment, then smiled.

"We need to find a way to poach this guy!"

"I fired him under the pretext of losing that batch of cones, and then I went and 'gave him another chance'."

On the other side, Lin Si sat up straight and looked at the food that had appeared on the table sometime earlier.

He smiled; the lunchbox had an insulation system and wasn't cold.

He was thinking about something while he ate.

"Now that this incident is over, things should be settled on Aunt Danshu's end, right?"

He sighed.

After all, she was an elder who had taken good care of him since he was a child. Those sweet pills, those afternoons when she smiled as she took his pulse, that look of heartache on her face when his leg first started hurting—

None of them are fake.

He wanted to see her, but he didn't know what expression to wear, where she was being held, or even if she would want to see him.

He put down his bowl, sighed softly, and decided to stop thinking about it for now.

"By the way, is Uncle Yang still at my house? I didn't exchange contact information with him before."
