Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

Page 142

Regarding the series of events that occurred in Tver, the higher-ups have held several meetings to discuss them. As far as I know, there have been many debates, the main issue being you... Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan listened silently to the other person's words, lost in thought.

"The press conference held at the Tver branch a couple of days ago attracted a lot of attention. After the press conference, headquarters held another meeting. After a decisive figure made the final decision, the conclusion regarding the whole incident has been finalized."

"It's a pity you can't serve as the deputy minister or minister of Tver. Because..."

Ai Bai's gaze was fixed intently on Lin Yuan's expression.

Her voice paused for a few seconds, clearly wanting to see Lin Yuan's reaction.

“You’re coming to headquarters, I mean Pierpoint.”

After a two-second silence, Lin Yuan, though he had expected it, still felt a sense of excitement and anticipation upon hearing the news.

“Envoy A… this is truly a pleasant surprise.”

"I didn't see any surprise on your face..."

Ai Bai pursed his lips, feeling somewhat bored.

She had originally hoped to see Lin Yuan's expression fluctuate wildly.

Although she had witnessed Lin Yuan's power firsthand, this was Pierpont.

There, you could throw a stone and hit a big shot, no matter how powerful or influential you are in your local star system. It holds an absolute attraction for the vast majority of people in the universe.

Some people were trying to get in, while others came uninvited.

"You don't need to call me Envoy A anymore. I'm not a big shot in Pierpoint. We're all colleagues, just call me by my first name."

Lin Yuan nodded, a smile finally appearing on his face, and then asked with interest.

"So... what exactly does Abel Pierpont look like?"

"Hmph, I thought you really didn't care about anything..."

Ai Bai smiled, her eyes narrowing. She had finally gotten around to the question being asked.

Everyone who came out of headquarters loved to talk about Pierpont with people from other places.

Even those working at the lowest levels of Pier Point proudly raise their chests when talking about that miraculous megastructure, a unique spectacle in the universe.

“Pierpont, how can I describe it to you…”

Although Ai Bai had prepared a variety of descriptive words, she suddenly felt a lack of vocabulary at this moment.

"All I can tell you is that it is a miracle within a miracle."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Hearing this description, Lin Yuan became truly interested.

"You should know the history of our company, and you should also know that Pierpoint is where our company originated in the early days."

As the first wonder, it has now been transformed into a giant planet, a super-structure on a galaxy-wide scale. An ideal city, a cosmic hub, a center for communication among all races—you can use any word of praise to describe its grandeur.

And this miracle operates on the celestial orbit of our great chairman, ceaselessly, day and night. Hard to imagine, isn't it? In Pierpoint, you can behold the divine body of the Amber King at any time!

As Ai Bai spoke, his expression suddenly became quite enthusiastic.

Even those who stay at headquarters year-round are often awestruck and filled with awe when they see this sight.

"Think about it, if outsiders want to come and pay homage to the Amber King, a one-day boat ticket would cost 18 billion credits. In my opinion, that price is ridiculously low..."

"Oh, so you mean the starting net worth for someone at headquarters is at least 18 billion?"

Lin Yuan suddenly asked.

"Hmm... young man, you have a good understanding."

Ai Bai nodded in satisfaction. The people at headquarters are indeed different from those outside.

"Once you get to headquarters, you'll realize that the circulation of credit points is just a number. The real big shots are ranked by the number of Faith Bonds they own."

"Sister, I'll soon be eligible to buy faith bonds too!"

After the following introduction, Lin Yuan gained a much better understanding of Pierpoint.

High technology and absolute development are merely footnotes to this place.

Safety—the safety of being near the Amber King—is the guarantee that it can develop without limits.

The already enormous megastructure, combined with the spatial technology applied to trash cans, makes this place far larger than imagined.

There, you can get everything you want.

But Lin Yuan also knew that if he wasn't careful, he could lose everything he had.

"The specific appointment will have to wait for the headquarters to issue it. I'm just informing you in advance."

After the enthusiastic introduction, Ai Bai calmed down a bit.

"Lin Yuan..."

"Ok?"

Seeing the other person's hesitant expression, Lin Yuan found it rather strange.

"Are the others alright?"

"Of course, it couldn't be better."

"That's good. Remember that..."

Ai Bai looked very serious.

"Although the headquarters looks impressive, it faces far more problems and dangers."

This is a process of climbing upwards. Your friends and teammates can help you along the way, but your failures will also affect their progress.

So... what I'm about to say might sound harsh, but if you don't have the resolve to climb the ladder or the confidence to protect your subordinates, then you shouldn't let those friends drag you into this mess.

"Oh, then thank you for your concern, Sister Aibai."

Lin Yuan laughed upon hearing this.

"Who cares about you? I'm worried about Cecilia. If things get tough, I'll personally take care of her. With me backing her up, she has huge potential. If she were with someone like you..."

"Then there's no need."

Before Ai Bai could finish speaking, Lin Yuan interrupted her.

But the insertion of this little interlude instantly swept away the serious atmosphere that had just been there.

"So, I can still bring my teammates with me to headquarters?"

Although Lin Yuan's focus was not quite the same as hers, Ai Bai still patiently explained.

"Of course, every promoted employee has the option to bring a subordinate. Otherwise, do you think Pierpoint only has employees at P35 and above here?"

The employees' subordinates, relatives, and even elites brought in through special quotas. All of these people are qualified to stay at Pierpoint. The headquarters is vast, teeming with countless family and corporate forces, and representatives from various powerful organizations. What's the big deal about bringing a few people?

"Hmm, what if one of my teammates is also a Fate Walker?"

"They're all the same."

Ai Bai said this.

"Whether the people you bring are ordinary people or those on a life journey, as long as they are not terrorists or wanted criminals, it's all the same to the company."

At the company, the people above you only worry about one thing: whether your work is done well or not.

The stronger your abilities and the greater your strength, the riskier the work you will take on. This is what I warned you about earlier: following you is far more dangerous than following anyone else.

"I see......"

Lin Yuan nodded silently.

"Wait a minute, Sister Aibai, aren't you also a Fate Walker? Wouldn't it be the same if I followed you?"

"Heh, I'm not a pervert like you. I'm just a weak doctor."

Ai Bai rolled her eyes.

"Don't expect me to be of any use to you if I run into any problems. I can't protect you. Once you get to headquarters, you'll have to find a powerful figure to rely on yourself."

Even so, Lin Yuan knew that if any problems arose, this person was absolutely reliable. After all, this was a good comrade-in-arms who had gone through life and death together.

"Thank you anyway."

You can rest assured about what you reminded me of. As long as they choose to follow me, I will definitely take them with me.

As for the confidence to climb the ladder, Ai Bai... if you work for me from now on, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury.

Seeing this, Ai Bai rubbed his head.

"I don't know if your confidence is backed by real ability... Actually, it is. That's all for now, see you at headquarters."

Before Lin Yuan could react, the other party hung up the call.

...........

"Find a mountain stronghold, why can't I be the stronghold?"

As he gazed at the dark space, figures flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.

Topaz, gold dust, jade, stone cores, and countless other stories.

“Pierpoint, this is something to look forward to.”
