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

"Actually, I felt the same way when I first came here. I imagined it was all tall, imposing, giant buildings, the kind where lower-level employees would have to climb hundreds of steps to meet higher-level employees."

Ai Bai crossed her arms and leaned against the railing.

"But then I realized. Come on, this is the gathering place of the most powerful and sophisticated people in the entire universe. They must be living the highest quality of life possible."

This Pierpoint is filled with world-renowned natural and man-made attractions, all purchased by the company and brought directly in space-age devices.

Ai Bai turned around and looked down at the city in front of him.

"Moreover, the real uniqueness here lies in the technology hidden beneath all the everyday details. Can you believe that every trash can is equipped with a space-saving storage device?"

"Hey."

Lin Yuan sighed softly. Compared to this place, the hardships he had endured before were truly immense.

With each breath, the air felt sweet.

"Oh, and there's also an air purification system covering the entire area, so you can always enjoy the best quality environment."

"Well....."

Lin Yuan was taken aback, then somewhat speechless. But, as long as it's free, that's fine.

"So, what are we doing now?"

"What? Waiting for the flying car?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a streamlined luxury flying car slowly descended, its body shimmering with a crystal-clear luster.

"This is...something you rented?"

"Tch, of course it's mine. I just let it take care of itself, okay?"

Stepping into the flying car, Lin Yuan and Ai Bai sat facing each other. One of the doors slowly transformed into a transparent viewing window.

"Don't be envious. Flying cars are nothing special; they're all company-made and sold directly, so you can buy them at internal prices. With your current P39 salary, it'll only be a while before you reach my P40 level—"

"Wait, you're at P40?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.

"Of course, but it's also thanks to the previous Tver project. I really have to thank you for that. After all, it's been years since I've seen such a big event with so many crazy people. Come on, let's have a toast."

Ai Bai took out a wine glass and poured a glass for Lin Yuan.

"Congratulations."

Lin Yuan smiled and clinked glasses with him, taking a small sip of the crystal-clear liquid in his glass.

The liquid's initial taste is like the aftertaste of an asteroid brushing past you, followed by a lingering, bittersweet finish. (I'm just making this up.)

"How about it? This is the hottest drink lately, a new project I just took over in the market development department. Apparently, the liquid inside only reaches its final form after opening, so every bottle tastes different. By the way..."

Ai Bai suddenly remembered something.

"I heard that before you came to headquarters, you were given a mission? How did it go... If you completed the mission well, you might have a chance to be promoted to P40 after accumulating a few missions."

If you were as lucky as me and accomplished something big, maybe one project would be enough to get you promoted.

Ai Bai crossed her long legs, smiled elegantly, and then took a small sip of her drink.

Every move she makes exudes elegance.

"Oh, it went alright, I guess. It helped the department reach a long-term cooperation agreement with the Black Tower Space Station."

"Pfft—cough cough cough!"

The elegant woman was immediately taken aback, patting her chest as she stared at Lin Yuan in disbelief.

"Black...cough cough...Black Tower...you mean, cough, that Black Tower?"

A small cleaning machine popped out of the storage compartment next to the flying car and began cleaning the wet areas.

But Ai Bai didn't care about these details at the moment; her eyes widened.

"Brother Lin! Call me next time you have a project. Quality control, supervision, project management—I can do it all!"

Ai Bai had no doubt that Lin Yuan was lying. Everyone's achievements were recorded in the headquarters' seniority book, which was something that could be directly seen.

Her gaze was intense, as if she were seeing a rocket soaring into the sky. At that moment, who wouldn't want to board it?

"Of course, after all, we came down from the battlefield together."

Looking at the other person's expression, Lin Yuan spoke calmly.

"I have an idea: we young people can help each other more, work hard together, and make progress together."

"Oh, so you want to organize a group?"

Ai Bai gave him a meaningful look.

"It doesn't really count, it's just a loose circle of friends."

"Hey... don't be so nervous. There are plenty of groups like this around here. Since you've spoken, count me in."

Ai Bai waved his hand, dispelling his concerns.

"I hope this circle of friends can give me a surprise in the future."

"If I told you that you're currently only contacting people from the strategic investment department, I wonder if that would be a shock."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, a smile spreading across his lips.

"We've arrived. Come with me to complete the formalities and pick up some things."

Ai Bai's flying car stopped at the middle level of the pyramid. After getting off the car, the two entered the core city through the main entrance.

Stepping into the floor, which was comparable in size to an urban area, Lin Yuan was no longer as shocked as before.

Compared to the outside, the layout here is simple, but it is obviously more technological and has a higher foot traffic.

The two stepped onto the accelerators deployed on the ground and quickly moved in the direction of the road signs.

Traveling this way is no slower than taking a vehicle.

On the way, Lin Yuan noticed many strange details.

For example, when encountering employees from other companies, they will always look at the top of your head first. Many people will also keep their distance when they see Lin Yuan and his companion passing by.

"We've arrived. This is the Human Resources Management Center. There's a self-service express lane here."

With proper guidance and Ai Bai's assistance, Lin Yuan quickly completed a series of electronic procedures and received his identity card and some equipment.

"What is this, an earpiece?"

Looking at the small, exquisite device in his hand, Lin Yuan revealed a curious expression.

"Try wearing it."

An expression of schadenfreude appeared on Ai Bai's face.

Lin Yuan slowly put it on the side of his neck, and in an instant, everything in front of him changed.

The originally monotonous surroundings were suddenly filled with various information and images, and Ai Bai introduced them from the side.

"Whether it's here, or the core cities of various departments and the central cities in various places, they are all covered by the company's super-large venues."

As I said before, all the information was hidden beneath the surface; now, you're finally seeing the true face of this place.

Upon hearing Ai Bai's words, Lin Yuan slowly turned around, his eyes suddenly drawn to something.

Above Ai Bai's head, his name and the company's level were shining brightly.

Below his name, Ai Bai's past achievements and accomplishments are displayed.

"Goodness."

Lin Yuan then realized why everyone had chosen to look up at the top of their heads earlier.

"This isn't over yet."

Ai Bai's lips curled up slightly.

The next moment, a pop-up window appeared on the interface in front of Lin Yuan.

[Market Development Department P40 Ai Bai is passing by nearby. Please be careful and avoid collision.]

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw the other person's smile revealing white teeth.

Chapter 166 Director of Security

"What...what is this thing?"

"Aren't you envious? I've always been envious, and now my wish has finally come true."

Lin Yuan followed Ai Bai out of the human resources center, and the scene before him instantly became dazzling.

"This kind of pop-up notification is a benefit that only employees at the P40 level and above can enjoy. In the company, job level is a form of combat power; it can not only demonstrate status but also effectively prevent some clueless individuals from appearing."

"The entire Pierpont system can be seen wherever the field is connected. So, what do you think? Are you planning to get one then…?"

Lin Yuan quickly shook his head.

"I don't think I need this, given my low-key personality."

"That's such a pity..."

Ai Bai covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"It's okay, you can choose to enable it later, and the content can also be customized. Of course, if there are any prohibited words, the field will automatically block them."

As they talked, the two resumed their rapid movement down the corridor.

Compared to when he arrived, Lin Yuan's eyes were now filled with curiosity, and he would subconsciously look up at the top of each employee's head.

This stance quickly drew dissatisfaction from some people. But when they looked up and saw the levels above the two people's heads, coupled with the pop-up window that suddenly appeared on the interface, they quickly lowered their heads again.

"After looking at so many, how come the highest level is only around P36 or P37, and there are so many employees who are just over P30?"

After a while, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Because this is the central public floor, you can do business here regardless of your level or position."
