Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"The market development department should be preparing to negotiate the gift... Has that genius from Screw Star encountered some problem?"

Jiang Jiu hummed in agreement.

"It's a minor matter. In that case, I hope this matter can be resolved quickly. After all... you don't want to offend the king of Screw Star, do you?"

Ipa nodded.

"No problem, I'll talk to the market development department in a bit, that guy won't say anything."

Jiang Jiu blinked, that's really straightforward.

"Well... I might need to occasionally use the company's intelligence network to handle some personal matters recently. Also... I might need some computing power and energy supply."

"As for the conditions... name your price."

When it comes to things like computing power and energy, it's the most convenient option to ask a company to provide them.

As for the conditions, they shouldn't be difficult to meet.

Whether it's experiments, research, or other things, he could also be a valuable asset in combat.

Upon hearing Jiang Jiu's request, Pai's eyes gleamed with even greater excitement.

Using intelligence networks? Using computing power? What does this indicate?

This indicates that the newly appointed ambassador intends to establish a long-term relationship with the company!

This is absolutely the best thing ever!

"Lord Shi Jin, why borrow the words 'intelligence network' and 'computing power'? The company is willing to permanently grant you P47-level intelligence sharing privileges and build you a top-priority laboratory. All expenses will be borne by the company."

"This is not a transaction, but rather the company's support and respect for the Amber King's will and for the genius himself."

"If you are willing, your research will be the company's highest priority strategic investment direction."

Good heavens, this isn't just trying to win them over; they're practically offering to empty the company's coffers and stuff them into their laps...

He raised his hand and made a pause gesture.

"Wait, wait, wait..."

He interrupted Pai: "There's no need. I don't need that much stuff, nor do I need you to give it to me for free. You can name your terms."

"Besides..." Jiang Jiu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm sure you haven't found anything about my achievements, have you? Aren't you afraid that I'm just an empty shell who doesn't know anything?"

"Lord Shi Jin is joking."

You can't do anything? You can't do anything, yet you want to be a member of the genius club?

Are you kidding me?

If you set conditions, you won't get any favors in return; this absolutely cannot become a transaction.

Pai thought for a moment and quickly typed a few lines on her phone.

A few seconds later, he raised his head again.

"Lord Shi Jin, given your level of understanding, worldly rewards and investment agreements are indeed an offense."

"Therefore, after urgent discussions, the company is willing to offer you a solution, not as a constraint, but to provide you with the greatest possible convenience, and at the same time, to declare to the entire universe the company's absolute support for you."

"We, the Board of Directors of Interstellar Peace Corporation, respectfully request that you accept the position of Special Honorary Director of the Technology Research and Development Department and be granted you the internal job grade P47."

"This is the company's commitment to storage protection and its basic respect for storage protection officers."

Nonsense! Not only is he a guardian of the treasure, but he's also a genius. Even if you try to win him over by appealing to Amber King's emotions, you'd still have to pay him!

Chapter 156 How could the Guardian Envoy be a self-destructive being?!

"...Honorary Supervisor, p47?"

Jiang Jiu repeated himself, then asked with some curiosity, "Me?"

Hearing the curiosity in Jiang Jiu's tone, Pai's heart tightened, and she immediately began to explain the benefits of this position.

"What kind of high-level access is this? The company is fully supporting us, it's very convenient. It's just a matter of being listed in name only. Jiang Jiu doesn't have to come whether he wants to or not..."

A bunch of things rushed towards him, and Jiang Jiu just asked curiously.

"Do you give every genius a P47 rating?"

“Of course not!” Pai quickly denied. “Lord Shi Jin may not know this, but because our company is a loyal follower of the Amber King, only the Guardian Envoy is qualified to directly grant this position.”

“Apart from the Guardian Envoy, anyone else who wants to reach this level needs to pay a price that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.”

Generally speaking, very few people would refuse this permission.

Even if the other party is the holder of the depositary order, the company's reputation is there, and most people wouldn't refuse.

The problem is that the other person is a genius.

Geniuses really do find things troublesome.

This is probably what makes geniuses different from ordinary people...

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Pai's words: "You're a Destiny Walker under the Protection of the Nation? You just started not long ago?"

Pai paused for two seconds, then said in confusion, "It's true that I am a Destiny Walker who protects the Destiny Path, but I've been on this path for a long time. Why is Lord Shijin so curious about this?"

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly.

“I can accept it, but I’m a little curious, even if I’m a self-destructor who has reached the level of Commander in the Void, you still think it doesn’t matter and insist on this decision?”

Pai chuckled: "You jest, sir. You're just a self-destructing... self-destructing... messenger-level envoy??"

Pai's smile froze for a moment, and she froze for a second.

"The self-destructor...?" Pai couldn't help but repeat it, wondering if he had misheard.

The way to preserve and safeguard is to protect everything and maintain its existence.

"Nothingness"... can no longer be used as "almost"; it is the opposite of this fate.

A guardian of life, and also a self-destructor?

Jiang Jiu took in their reactions, and his smile deepened.

He crossed his arms and calmly observed their reactions.

It doesn't matter what the final answer is.

Jiang Jiu didn't care.

After a brief silence, Pai quickly recovered from her shock, her thoughts immediately replaced by more pragmatic ideas.

He glanced at Jiang Jiu's still calm, even somewhat nonchalant expression, and then recalled Amber King's approval.

The will of the Star God is beyond the comprehension of all mortals.

The Amber King personally cast his gaze upon the envoy and bestowed upon him the position of messenger; in any case, this was a recognition of the highest rank.

No matter how contradictory this messenger may be, no matter how many seemingly conflicting paths he walks on, the Star God's approval must have its reasons.

and......

A self-destructing being at the level of a Void Commander, who also possesses the intellectual genius... such an existence can still be recognized by the Guardian Star God...

Reject him? Question him?

Can the company afford the consequences of offending such a being, handpicked by the Star God and whose true nature is unfathomable?

The answer is obviously no.

More importantly, as the head of the strategic investment department, Pai's core mindset is always about balancing benefits and risks.

A self-destructing being at the level of a Void Commander, if they become an enemy, their destructive power is immeasurable.

But if they become allies, even if only in name, their value... will certainly far exceed that of a mere guardian.

Pai successfully convinced herself!

He took a deep breath, and his smile returned to its bright state.

“Your Excellency Shi Jin is too kind.” Pai nodded slightly. “Regardless of your status, the company’s decision will not change.”

"Alright, as long as you can accept it."

Jiang Jiu nodded casually, no longer dwelling on the topic: "So, I'll take that honorary supervisor position, P47, but it's agreed that it's just a nominal appointment."

He agreed readily, without any sense of indebtedness.

In Jiang Jiu's eyes, this was more like a convenient transaction where both parties got what they wanted.

When the company heard Jiang Jiu agree, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Jiu successfully obtained a card whose purpose he didn't know, and casually put it away without paying much attention to it.

"What about Screw Star? Have you figured out how to handle it?"

Pai blinked, then frantically called the market development department with her hands behind her back.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, we are not foolish enough to make an enemy of a genius. We will prepare a gift as a token of our goodwill."

Jiang Jiu hummed in agreement, but didn't say anything more.

It's uncertain whether they'd be foolish enough to make an enemy of a genius, but given the high probability that Screwgun possesses the Anti-Life Equation, the company won't act rashly...

Jiang Jiu was unaware that after he left, the relevant departments of the company went all out and worked through the night to produce that so-called gift.

Although it wasn't perfect in the end, it was enough as a symbol of sincerity.

......

Screw Gum nodded slightly, looking at the sincerity the company had sent, and politely expressed his willingness to coexist peacefully with organic life.

After all, the relationship between the Omnics and organic beings had deteriorated so badly after the two Imperial Wars that Sloth even suspected the other side might try to wipe them out at any moment...

Furthermore, it is extremely difficult for inorganic life forms to possess self-awareness.

Jiang Jiu sat on the sofa, propping his chin up as he watched the Screw King fiddling with the mechanical cuckoo clock, and said, "Alright, this matter is resolved, so let me talk to you about something else."

“Of course.” Screw Gum looked at Jiang Jiu. “It’s my pleasure to serve you, Jiang Jiu.”

Very good, I didn't add the words "Your Excellency".

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said directly, "Actually, this matter is quite related to you, because the thing I have to deal with has a devastating impact on intelligent machines."
