Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

In a sense, this can be considered one of the advantages of a world with gods.

This meant that Pantarone's promotion of 'imaginary currency' encountered almost no resistance in the winter solstice region, and Pantarone's demands on the Adventurers' Guild were also quite simple.

That means the Adventurers' Guild must use 'imaginary currency' for salary settlements.

It doesn't matter whether adventurers choose to accept Mora or 'imaginary coins' as their salary. Apart from that, the Fools and the Northern Bank will not interfere too much in the internal operations of the Adventurers' Guild.

This approach didn't quite make the Adventurers' Guild's decision-makers understand Pantarone's actions, but since it was only a matter of this magnitude, and it wasn't mandatory to use only 'imaginary coins' for settlement, but rather that 'imaginary coins' must be used.

From the Adventurers' Guild's perspective, this was just something that needed to be done, and it wasn't something that was particularly unacceptable, so after some negotiation...

The Adventurers' Guild headquarters readily agreed to the Northern Bank's conditions and actively cooperated with the new policies promoted by the Winter Solstice government, which allowed Pantarone's plan to proceed steadily as expected.

Meanwhile, the Adventurers' Guild was cooperating with the Winter Solstice government's new policies.

After completing the mass production of Catherine, "Puppet" also completed the 'mechanical prosthetics' needed for Pantalone, since Catherine was already the blueprint for the finished product.

The 'mechanical prosthetics' needed by Pantalone were also completed very quickly.

Through the 'Void Dream System', Pantarone can remotely control his 'mechanical prosthetic body' via the terminal using the power of 'dreaming'. After using the 'mechanical prosthetic body', Pantarone is very satisfied with its use.

"Although there are a few minor flaws, it is good enough for a 'mechanical stand-in' to be used when going out. At least it achieves more than 90% in terms of sensory simulation."

"Sandonie's technical and engineering capabilities are truly impeccable. It is equipped with an 'imaginary core' for propulsion and has been specially designed for combat capabilities."

"When necessary, the 'imaginary core' can be overloaded, and in the worst case, it can be made to exert combat power no weaker than that of an executive officer, even at the cost of scrapping the 'mechanical prosthetic body'."

"It can be said that every aspect has been taken into consideration. As expected, Sandone understands my needs better. With this 'mechanical substitute,' I can now do some things that I couldn't do before with peace of mind."

Of course, in addition to the above.

The most important thing is that with the 'mechanical prosthetic body', he can handle more official duties at the same time, so he can have more time to work overtime. Isn't that a wonderful thing?

He felt that he shouldn't be the only one to enjoy this blessing. Once Sandoni was ready for low-cost production, he thought that more people should enjoy the same benefits as him.

Otherwise, if he is the only one who can enjoy the benefit of working overtime at the same time, wouldn't that be too unfair to the others?

As a boss who has always been very fair, he believes he should seek such benefits for his subordinates.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be moved to tears by his own noble sentiments.

There's probably no better boss in the world than him.

After briefly sharing his evaluation and thoughts on the use of 'mechanical prosthetics', Pantalone did not forget that there was another, more important topic.

After glancing at the time on his watch, he estimated that they would arrive soon.

Just as he was thinking this, accompanied by clear footsteps and the sound of a door being pushed open, a young man dressed in the uniform of the Fools stepped into his office.

The boy's eyes were incredibly sharp, carrying the unbridled arrogance and recklessness of youth, as well as the confidence that only the strong possess.

The arrogant young man said this the moment he stepped into the room.

"Hey, Executive Officer 'Rich Man,' I've come exactly as you said. If the task assigned to me doesn't satisfy me, I'll be very disappointed."

"Of course, you will be satisfied."

Looking at the boy before him, Pantalone smiled gently and gave this answer.

The boy had been completely transformed into Ajax after undergoing the "Fusion Warrior" surgery performed by the "Doctor".

Ever since Pantalone got Ajax back from "The Doctor," he has specifically placed Ajax in the Fatui organization and assigned him several special tasks.

As expected, Ajax completed the task given to him by Pantalone very smoothly, which made Pantalone quite satisfied with Ajax's efficiency.

After confirming Ajax's efficiency and having completed the initial handling of other tasks, Pantalone believed that Ajax could be given more additional tasks.

Although his conflict-loving nature might cause unnecessary trouble in most cases, Pantalone didn't care about the trouble Ajax caused as long as Ajax honestly completed the tasks he assigned.

After all, for Ajax's own combat strength, those things were all within his acceptable range. In Pantalone's view, as long as the problem could be solved with money, it was not a problem.

Especially after witnessing Ajax's formidable combat prowess in the "Doctor's" test battle not long ago, he felt he could entrust him with some other matters and tasks.

Well, aside from the fact that Ajax sometimes doesn't fully understand his meaning, which causes some trouble but also results in exceeding expectations, Ajax's overall performance in completing tasks is very high.

This meant that while Ajax's business capabilities had some issues, they were still within Pantalone's acceptable range.

"The task I'm giving you this time is to go to Liyue and help me find the remnants of the Lord of Qingce who was once dismembered and suppressed by that Geo Archon."

"Of course, there's no need to bring it back. Once you find the remnants of the Lord of Light Strategy, I will naturally go with you. Yusupov, the ambassador to Liyue, will meet you."

"So all we need to do is follow the plan. However, we can't rule out the possibility that the Fatui's actions might alarm the immortals of Liyue. Therefore, only you, who have undergone the 'Fusion Warrior' modification surgery, can handle this matter."

"After all, not all executives have the time to handle such matters, so I will personally deal with it once you have settled things over there."

After briefly explaining his mission to Ajax, Pantalone gave him these instructions.

He knew that Ajax was not the kind of person who would stay put, so he didn't impose too many restrictions on Ajax's actions. He simply asked him to find the remnants of the Lord of Lightness and Strategy and then deal with them.

After listening to Pantalone's description of the mission, Ajax couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression on his face.

After feeling that he had fully understood the mission, Ajax confidently stated...

"In short, I need to notify you after finding the remnants of the Lord of Light Strategy, and you don't need to worry about anything else. Is that the gist of it? I completely understand what you mean. Leave this task to me."

Pantalone felt as if all the words he had said were meaningless, given Ajax's confident expression.

Although the meaning is roughly the same, this simplification is so abbreviated that Pantalone doubts whether Ajax truly understood it.
