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

“We’re a perfect match, a perfect match indeed.” Gui Ji’s voice carried a hint of smugness. “I knew you’d enjoy dramatic plots too.”

His gaze lingered on the planet, his tone full of lingering reminiscence.

"Look, how moving is the destruction that erupts from despair and fear."

He spread his hands and explained to Huanlong:

"The inspiration for this place came from a book I read over a decade ago. I came here and created a canopy here."

"I selected a group of people from every country on this planet and had them participate in a survival game together."

The victor will receive the gift of my destructive power and become stronger; the vanquished will watch helplessly as their nation is destroyed in my hands.

"The local indigenous people call this 'the game of the gods'."

He paused, and his laughter subsided.

"At first, the tension of mutual destruction for survival was quite novel. But later... being a god for too long becomes meaningless."

"So, the game is over?"

A hazy voice came from the flames.

"Of course." Gui Ji shrugged.

"You know me best, my dear colleague. You must have something important to discuss with me. Is it a tea party? Or a team-building activity? Something more important than this boring rock in front of you."

“Oh, I almost forgot about the sense of ritual,” he added.

Gui Ji lowered his gaze and slowly raised his top hat. Beneath the hat was a purple hand.

"game over."

He said softly.

"The nation that achieves final victory will receive my final blessing. Those who make it to the end are undoubtedly fortunate, and the final act of this fortune will be the witness to the true face of destruction."

He snapped his fingers.

On the planet, the people of the only surviving nation looked up at the sky and had a sense of foreboding.

A red scorch mark slowly appeared on the earth, spreading across the entire continent. Wherever the scorch mark passed, the earth cracked, cities collapsed, and everything was burned.

Gradually, a giant smiling face appeared on the ground.

The shattered earth, along with the remains of the last civilization, received the completion reward.

Gui Ji watched all of this with a calm tone, as if he were talking about the weather.

"Alright, what did you need me for?"

A hazy voice drifted over: "Someone told us to pack up our work. We'll be attending a testimony soon."

"I regret it." Gui Ji looked at the shattering planet and said with regret:

"It sounds like a boring job. I was originally curious to see what kind of expression the last people on this planet would have."

"But it's okay, I still have a lot of games to play."

He counted on his fingers, as if taking stock of his collection.

"There's the icy planet I gave you, a halftime break; there's a group of pitiful creatures hiding in the painting, indulging in my gift; and..."

He slowly turned his hat around and put it on his head.

"Actually, I'd rather have some new fun happen to help me pass this boring time."

The sound drifted away in the sea of ​​stars, leaving only mocking smiles on the shattered stars.

……

Pierpont.

After the meeting, Lin Yuan returned to his office, which was not yet fully tidied up.

He instructed his subordinates to start connecting with resources from other departments as soon as possible, and to compile a list of some thoughtful and capable middle-level managers.

As for talent, let's just grab them first; they've already agreed to support us anyway.

A moment later, a tall figure appeared out of nowhere by the viewing window.

Constance pushed up her glasses, a smug smile on her face.

"Manager, while you were all in the meeting, I wasn't idle. I took a tour of the Market Development Department headquarters, and guess what? Your Market Development Department is absolutely awful!"

Lin Yuan didn't even flinch: "What does the Market Development Department's misbehavior have to do with my Statistics Department?"

"Tsk." Dahlia rolled her eyes at him. "That's not what you said before."

"That can't be generalized," Lin Yuan chuckled, leaning back in his chair.

"Tell me, what have you found out?"

Constance stopped laughing, opened her hands, and glittering prisms appeared.

"I didn't go to Oswaldo's office. I felt a little uneasy just getting close to it, so I left first, just to be safe."

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing.

"However, the other directors... are quite interesting."

With a light tap of her fingertip, several images appeared in the air.

Countless scenes and memories flashed before Lin Yuan's eyes.

He paused for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Write them all down.

"Write it down in a little notebook?" Constance tilted her head.

"Write it down in a little notebook." Lin Yuan nodded. "It'll be useful when we need to settle accounts later."

"Tch, I think you're no different from them, all full of bad intentions..." she muttered, pulling out a palm-sized notebook from somewhere and actually starting to write.

Lin Yuan ignored her rambling, stood up, and walked to the window.

“That Oswaldo supervisor is no ordinary person.” Constance put down her pen, becoming unusually serious.

“I felt like I was being watched just by getting close to his office, as if someone was watching me. I didn’t go any further so as not to disturb him.”

"Understood." Lin Yuan looked away. "I need to go on a long trip."

"where to?"

"Black Tower Space Station".

Constance raised an eyebrow: "Foreign visit? Do we need to make preparations for it too?"

“You’re not going anywhere.” Lin Yuan turned around and looked directly into her eyes.

"Keep an eye on things at headquarters for me these next few days. Especially the market development department. Don't make too much noise, but let me know immediately if there's even the slightest sign of trouble."

"You trust me that much?" Dahlia blinked, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away? Aren't you afraid I'll betray you?"

Lin Yuan did not answer, but looked at her and nodded slightly.

Constance looked away and muttered something under her breath.

"Tsk... Alright, then you can go in peace."

She raised her head, put her hands on her hips, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face.

"I'm now in charge of this department."

"Get lost."

The meme vanished in a flash, disappearing without a trace.

Chapter 361 Revisiting the Space Station

Pierpont

After arranging the department's work, Lin Yuan boarded his flagship again.

Before setting off, he sent a message to Estella in his own name, explaining that he was there on behalf of the Department of Statistics to discuss cooperation with the genius.

Unexpectedly, it took a long time for Estádio to send him a reply and invitation. Although the wording was appropriate and indicated that the space station would be prepared to receive him, Lin Yuan always felt that there was a sense of haste in her words.

Is the space station really that busy?

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and then stopped thinking about it. Since the other party had extended an invitation, he wouldn't be considered to have come uninvited.

He put down the terminal, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

The establishment of the department, intelligence on the antimatter legion, and the concept of the anti-destruction alliance all came at once, making him almost forget that he had just returned from Pinocene.

"Sigh, I understand Lao Jing a little now." Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly.

"When can I retire? It's all about... responsibility."

............

Black Tower Space Station

Compared to his first visit, when Lin Yuan was just a nobody below P40 and needed Estádio's introduction to meet the Black Tower.

But this time the situation is completely different.

The spacecraft docked on the platform of the space station, and Lin Yuan could already see the welcoming crowd outside through the porthole.

Led by Alan from the Defense Section, the welcoming team was lined up neatly on the platform, surrounded by a number of onlookers.

As Alan watched someone slowly descend the gangway, their face overlapping with the image from not long ago, he felt a little dazed.

For him, although a lot has happened since the antimatter legion invaded the space station, not much time has actually passed.

But the man in front of me, whom I learned from the young lady, was not long ago the company's special envoy, and is now actually the big boss of P47!

Alan's background made him clearly understand the meaning of this level. Even with the status of his family, he needed to be careful with his words and actions when facing a big shot of this level.

No wonder Estelle so hastily handed over the task of receiving guests to him after receiving the news.
