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

Hearing Ruan Mei's announcement over the loudspeaker that "the experiment is over," Lin Yuan glanced around the room one last time before turning and walking away.

To be honest, he didn't feel any pressure throughout the entire experiment.

Although the clones of the Starshattering King Worm were terrifying in appearance, they were still far inferior to the complete Commander. He had countless ways to truly wipe out the swarm.

Whether it's the supernatural power to transform reality into illusion, or the summoning of the calamity of burning, it's all just a matter of a moment.

But Lin Yuan didn't want to reveal too much in front of the geniuses, nor did he want to accidentally destroy the entire space station.

Therefore, he chose the simplest method, which was also an experiment—

Lin Yuan used himself as a base point, allowing his subspace and the material universe to briefly overlap.

The collision of two dimensions flattened these unfortunate insects into a flat surface. Simple, direct, and even possessing a unique artistic quality.

As he pondered this, the door to the observation room came into view. Stepping inside, he found the geniuses waiting for him.

Upon his arrival, Hei Ta looked him up and down with great interest. Her gaze finally settled on Lin Yuan's face, and she spoke in a light voice:

"Not bad, buddy. How did you do that? It's even kind of artistic."

"Logic: I detected high-intensity spatial fluctuations at the end of the experiment, lasting about 0.3 seconds. Conclusion: It should be related to spatial or dimensional overlap."

Screw Gum gently stroked the butterfly on his arm, his voice soothing.

Lin Yuan smiled but remained silent. His gaze swept across the room; it seemed one person was missing.

The thought had barely formed when a delicate fragrance of plum blossoms wafted from beside him. Lin Yuan turned his head and saw Ruan Mei standing beside him at some point. Her high, straight nose twitched, and her gaze was carefully observing Lin Yuan, as if she were sensing something.

"You're very interesting, my dear assistant. I'm very satisfied with the results of the experiment."

Feeling a little uneasy under Ruan Mei's gaze, Lin Yuan chuckled and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Now that the experiment is over, what are your answers regarding the cooperation between the Ministry of Statistics and you all?"

“Okay. This is the reward I promised.” Ruan Mei’s tone was gentle.

"Also, now that we've started cooperating, are you interested in conducting another experiment? About you, your life... seems quite interesting."

Feeling that Ruan Mei's gaze was like a scalpel, trying to see beyond the surface to something deeper, Lin Yuan refused.

He took a slight step back and turned his gaze to the Black Tower.

Hei Ta was leaning against the window, a half-smile playing on her lips. She met Lin Yuan's gaze, her expression turning strange.

"Cooperation... While the support you mentioned earlier is interesting, it's not absolutely necessary." She paused.

"If you want me to agree, fine! But I'll add one more condition: let's test my simulated universe. I want to see if any interesting changes occur."

Lin Yuan fell silent, his smile fading.

"...Next time for sure, Ms. Black Tower."

"Oh, come and take the test! So many people would beg me for this opportunity. How about I beg you?"

"Next time, I'll definitely get tested next time." Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Alright then." Seeing Lin Yuan's resolute attitude, Heita curled his lip. "Then let's deliver on those promises first, I need them. If there are any agreements to sign, go to Estádio."

Since nothing's happened, you're no longer needed here. Oh, and these pastries, you can take them with you too.

Black Tower blinked, waved its magic wand, and the pastry box floated lightly into Lin Yuan's hand.

Lin Yuan took the box and looked at the last person.

Screw Gum lowered his head slightly, his eyes gleaming, clearly deep in thought.

“Mr. Lin Yuan, I’m sorry. As the king of Screw Star, it is inconvenient for me to appear within the framework of any company’s departments.”

His tone was gentle, yet organized.

"However, there is more than one way for intelligent machines and organic life to cooperate. Conclusion: We can cooperate on another level. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."

After the mechanical emperor finished speaking, he extended his hand.

Lin Yuan stepped forward and gently shook hands with him, feeling a sense of relief. In this way, the trip had already been quite fruitful.

"Friends, then we'll meet again."

Lin Yuan turned around, but could feel eyes watching him leave.

A moment later, Ruan Mei's soft voice rang out from inside the cabin.

"Death will either be hastened or postponed; life will always wither. But sometimes, the way it withers can change the meaning of its existence. Don't you agree?"

"here we go again."

Black Tower sighed and shrugged, while Screw Goom looked at Black Tower:

Question: Ms. Heta, you didn't seem to be planning to agree to their request before. What changed your mind?

Black Tower replied lazily:

"Please, even geniuses need a stable research environment, okay?"

The other party has money, power, and strength; they've come running into me, why would I push them away? Even geniuses need to eat, you know.

She paused, her tone light and cheerful.

"If Kakamu ever tries to cause trouble for us again, we can just call in reinforcements, right? Of course, that's the most important point."

Black Tower smiled and said, "The people in this company are quite interesting; it's rare to find someone like that."

.........

Upon arriving at the main control module, Lin Yuan prepared to go to Estádio to sign some new cooperation agreements.

After scanning the area, he couldn't find the pink-haired figure; only a snow-white puppy saw him running away quickly.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, are you here to see the stationmaster?"

Seeing Lin Yuan nod slightly, Alan quickly explained.

"Miss seems to have received an important message. She should be back soon. Let me find you a place to rest."

"Thank you for your trouble."

While waiting, Lin Yuan took out his terminal to kill time, but unexpectedly received a call from Ai Bai:

"Manager, with you gone, Pierpoint is really going to cause a huge uproar!"

Ai Bai's excited voice came through.

........

Chapter 366 Signing

"Is this an uproar?"

Hearing Ai Bai's excited voice, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He thought about it carefully. Even if he added the time spent traveling, he had only been away from Pierpoint for a few days. How could something have happened to him?

"What's going on? Tell me in detail?" Lin Yuan asked, somewhat curious.

"That's how it is..."

Ai Bai began to introduce the topic with great enthusiasm.

It turns out that after he left headquarters, Diamond from the Strategic Investment Department submitted the results of Pinocone's project to the board of directors. It is said that some board members were very satisfied with the outcome.

At the same time, the Business Consolidation Department also began to cooperate with them to carry out large-scale publicity, which was particularly impressive.

Whether it's Interstellar Peace Broadcast, Interstellar Peace Entertainment, Interstellar Peace Films... all media channels are flooded with posts about it.

The entire company's public opinion was turning in favor of the strategic investment department, praising Pinocchio as an epic success, and making diamonds' reputation unparalleled.

"Diamond has made its move; is it preparing to secure victory in one fell swoop?"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then heard Ai Bai change the subject. There was a strange tinge to her voice.

"Minister Oswaldo hasn't been idle either. Just today, news came that several mid-level and even senior-level employees in the Strategic Investment Department have been reported by name, involving projects in nearly a dozen worlds of the company."

"report?"

"That's right. I heard from the rumors that the whistleblower materials are so thick they could be used as a pillow. They cover everything from embezzlement to bribery to abuse of power for personal gain."

The talent incentive department has already taken action, initiating a comprehensive review of the strategic investment department's projects and personnel issues. It's rumored that even the ten members of Stoneheart have been implicated.

"Ha, as expected, both sides are well prepared and just waiting for the right opportunity."

Lin Yuan chuckled, recalling the interrogation call Toppa received on the Huichangshi. It seemed Oswaldo had allies in the Talent Incentive Department.

"Manager, is there anything we need to do?"

"Let them fight. You just focus on getting the preparatory work done for the Ministry of Statistics. Don't get involved in anything else. Remain neutral."

Lin Yuan gave her a few instructions and then hung up the call.

He pondered for a moment, then opened his contacts and selected an anonymous contact.

"Dududu-"

After the dial tone, a cheerful female voice rang out.

"What's wrong, supervisor? Why are you contacting me so soon? Do you miss me?"

"How come I remember telling you this before I left? With such a big thing happening in Pierpoint, how come I haven't received a single message?"

Lin Yuan spoke calmly.

"Oh dear, it's just a dog-eat-dog situation. I haven't been idle; I've been busy watching the show... gathering intelligence. Dear supervisor, what happened to the trust we promised? I'm a little heartbroken."

Constance's voice lowered, and a hint of grievance crept into it.

"Don't overdo it, and this is a one-time exception. I have something to ask you now."

A playful female voice rang out, and Constance became interested: "How about it, our Department of Statistics gets involved too? I've never seen high-end business warfare before, it looks quite exciting."

"High-end business warfare?" Lin Yuan's expression was somewhat strange.

"Then go and kill the money trees outside their offices, or steal their department seals from me."

"Huh?" Constance was taken aback.

"Forget it, that method is too sophisticated. Just use the simplest way. Take the materials in your notebook, and anonymously send the less serious ones, like embezzlement, corruption, and quid pro quo, to the strategic investment department. You know what to do."
