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

Page 154

The warship slowly moved forward, heading towards the stargate in front of it.

Everyone in the command cabin could see a dazzling thin film appearing in front of them through the portholes.

"Um... should we make any preparations before crossing the stargate? Will I get seasick?"

Xiang Yu suddenly realized this problem. He looked up and found that everyone was silently watching him.

Would it have killed you to say so earlier?!

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

"I want to get off the ship!"

Amidst a chaotic shout, the warship plunged headfirst into the membrane.

In an instant, everything before my eyes was instantly shattered into countless flowing colors.

The swirling and surging colors instantly gave viewers a headache, dizziness, and chest tightness.

The next second, the colorful space stretched into a cave-like tunnel, within which the warship flashed by, and the surroundings dimmed.

Finally, when the scenery on the other side froze, a wail suddenly erupted in the command cabin.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"vomit--"

"Xiang Yu, I'm going to beat you to death!"

The brief moment of crossing caused everyone extreme discomfort, but thankfully, the golden and green light shone forth, and with the help of the power of destiny, the discomfort subsided.

"Announce to the entire ship that anyone experiencing physical discomfort should be promptly injected with a slow-release psychotropic drug."

Ignoring the commotion on the other side, Lin Yuan gave these instructions and walked to the viewing window, gazing at the huge shadow ahead.

What's that up ahead?

As the warship moved forward, the crowd gathered at the windows, trying to discern the outline of the shadows.

"No way..."

When their gaze finally reached the distant arc of light, they were astonished to realize that the shadow before them was actually a gigantic planet.

"This...this is the Pierpoint? It's bigger than a star!"

"I had long heard that Pierpoint was a super-megastructure, and now it seems that it truly lives up to its reputation."

"Didn't you say we'd see the great King of Amber? Why haven't we seen it?"

As the camera zoomed in and the Pierpoint surface gradually became more dazzling, the group immediately began a heated discussion.

At this moment, Lin Yuan noticed that the terminal was vibrating, indicating that a communication was being connected.

Upon seeing the caller ID, he projected the communication directly in front of him, and a holographic figure immediately appeared.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time. Welcome to Pierpoint."

Upon seeing the familiar figure before her, Cecilia lunged forward slightly, but passed right through the projection.

The newcomer was Ai Bai, and upon seeing this scene, a smile bloomed on her face.

How did you know we were coming?

"When you were identified before passing through the stargate, headquarters had already received the news. And because I had dealt with you before, I took on the job of being your guide."

The holographic projection floated to the porthole.

"Well, this is Pierpoint, isn't it amazing?"

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Ai Bai's lips curled into a look of satisfaction.

“Pierpont, a super-giant planet orbiting the Amber King’s body, is far larger than you can imagine, with countless folded spaces and complex three-dimensional divisions inside.”

At this moment, Ai Bai seemed to have transformed into a professional tour guide, explaining things to everyone in detail.

"This is an ideal city with a near-perfect transformation, integrating the world into one, and building a city for the world."

Even more remarkably, its rotation is locked after the modification. That is to say, one side of it always faces the same direction; you might have guessed it already….”

Ai Bai's tone became serious.

"What we see here represents the secular world. The company's various departments, such as the Market Development Department, Strategic Investment Department, Business Consolidation Department, and Technology Research and Development Department, have each been divided into areas and functional zones here."

On the other side, faith is represented. Indeed, whether it's the supplies the Building Materials Logistics Department gathers from across the universe, or the colossal skyscraper representing [protection], all can forever be bathed in the Amber King's radiance!

"Could it be that we can find the Amber King on the far side of this planet?!"

"To be precise, it's because the stargate is too close to Pierpoint, thus obstructing your view."

The crowd gasped in surprise, but Lin Yuan's focus was a little different.

"So, is the land price on that side extremely high? Is it allowed to buy a house there?"

"Well....."

The grand and solemn atmosphere was interrupted by Lin Yuan. Ai Bai glared at him, but still explained:

"If you reach a certain level and own more than a certain number of faith bond shares, you are eligible to obtain residency rights there."

But few people would choose to stay on the back for long, after all, nobody wants to constantly feel insignificant... You'll see soon enough.

"Okay, so this is a product after all. As expected of a company, no problem."

Lin Yuan abruptly interrupted Ai Bai's thoughts, causing her voice to become somewhat listless.

But the next moment her eyes suddenly lit up.

"So...would you like to pay homage to the divine body of the Amber King?"

"May I?!"

Everyone present became excited, and even Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of restlessness.

"Of course! Let me tell you, this is a ticket worth 18 billion credits, but for the company's elites who are coming to Pierpoint for the first time, this is a free benefit."

You've all benefited from this. Stay on this route, don't wander off, or you'll get shot down.

The navigation information was synchronized to the warship's control system, and the warship, which was originally heading towards the planet, immediately changed direction and flew towards the edge of the horizon.

"Let me take this opportunity to give you a brief introduction to Pierpoint."

"Why is it only 'approximately'? Can't you give a more detailed description?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat curious.

"Please, this place is so big, I've never even explored it all, how can I give you a detailed introduction?"

Ai Bai secretly rolled her eyes.

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly, and I'll try my best to answer them."

Are there many people here?

"The population is certainly not small. Just looking at the company itself... although only employees at the P35 level and above are qualified to come to headquarters, it's still quite a lot for the entire Galaxy."

Furthermore, every senior employee who comes to headquarters is qualified to lead their own team; the higher the level, the more people they have under their command, and the more resources they possess. In addition, there are also many high-value talents outside the formal staffing quota who have settled here.

So don't be fooled by how large the Pierpoint is; once you reach a certain level, you'll have a very large personal area.

"Is this place very developed?"

"I can only say that there's nothing you haven't seen before, not that it's not available here. You can find anything you can buy."

Ai Bai's answer was somewhat meaningful.

"I've always been curious whether the lower-level positions here are also very high. I wonder if someone like me would end up sweeping the streets!"

On page 27, Comrade Xiang Yu asked a question.

"How could that be? Street sweeping has long been done by machines. You could be a high-end taxi driver."

Ai Bai looked him up and down.

"This is another aspect I wanted to talk about. Senior-level employees refer to those who come from local areas to work at headquarters. They are promoted to leadership positions."

There are still quite a few ordinary people here. Think about it, back when the company was still called the support team, there were already quite a few people gathered here. After so many years of reproduction, the population has grown to a considerable size.

Therefore, in Pierpoint, the relationships between local families and power structures are very complex.

Besides, although Pierpoint accounts are expensive, many wealthy people around the world can still buy several accounts, and some large corporations also release corresponding quotas.

In addition to interstellar organizations, envoys from major galactic powers, and wealthy tourists, this interstellar city of peace has come together. Oh....."

Seeing the excited expression on Xiang Yu's face, Ai Bai poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

“Apart from your boss, people like you can only get a work visa and temporary residence permit. Only when you are promoted can you be given a permanent household registration.”

"All right....."

Apart from the dejected Xiang Yu, the others clearly wanted to ask more questions, but Ai Bai stopped talking at this moment.

"Ask later, we're almost there."

Light is now beginning to appear on the horizon ahead.

Chapter 164 The Amber King

"Supreme, majestic, vast, boundless, magnanimous, transcendent..."

Lin Yuan threw all those words into the trash can.

At this moment, no human-invented word can describe the scene before us.

Compared to the warship beneath Lin Yuan's feet, his figure was minuscule.

Compared to the Pierpont, warships are like insects compared to mountains.

But compared to the indescribable existence before him, Pierpont could only be described as "a mayfly seeing the blue sky."
