Uncle, I am not an ordinary office worker.

"I'll tell you all about them!" said Dorothy promptly.

Roy was stunned, realizing that she seemed to have thought of something wrong, and quickly explained: "No, no, I don't want you to be a corporate spy or undercover..."

"I do!" Dorothy said firmly. "Lady Yara is right. I should do something for you!"

"Ah, this..." Roy opened his mouth and paused for a while before taking a deep breath and saying, "Anything is fine?"

"Of course, anything!" Dorothy replied sincerely.

"Then promise me, first, don't do anything dangerous and make sure you protect yourself. Second, don't spy on anyone, especially Christen and Ferdinand. Finally, pay attention to the situation of the Rhine Life Science Research Institute."

The director of the Rhine Life Protection Department, Saria, is a dedicated guardian. She will not allow anyone to harm Christen and Rhine Life, especially now that the Balrog incident has not officially broken out. Roy does not want Dorothy to be targeted by Saria.

But as the head of a department, it was reasonable for Dorothy to pay attention to the situation of the scientific examination class, and there would be no danger.

And the Science and Technology Department, in Roy's opinion, is the most valuable department in Rhine's life.

Volume 1: Chapter 238: Flame Demon Prelude

1095, Columbia, Rhine Life.

"This is your department, Ms. Dorothy." Putting the large boxes in her hands firmly on the ground, the silver-haired Ms. Vaifan nodded to Dorothy, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, Saria. Thank you!" Dorothy couldn't wait to take her computer out of the box, plugged it in, and automatically connected to the Rhine Life network. After checking the information, she turned around and thanked her formally, "Thank you for your trouble, Saria. If it weren't for you, it would probably take several days just to move it."

Saria nodded calmly, as if she was used to it.

In fact, moving a laboratory is not that difficult, especially since Dorothy's experiment has not yet entered the clinical practice stage. The Rhine Life Defense Department can handle the equipment in one day. It's just that Dorothy's laboratory is so messy that it took a lot of time to sort it out.

As for why Saria was the one to do this herself, the reason was simple - there were very few examples like Dorothy who had just joined Rhine Life and was able to obtain an independent laboratory and become a department director. Especially since she herself did not have a deep political background or academic capital, it was even more surprising that Christen made such a decision.

Saria was simply curious and wanted to confirm what was so special about this "genius" lady.

Facts have proved that Dorothy is indeed different. She is like a mad scientist that only appears in movies. She has a fanatical passion for science and a strong humanistic color. In her words, everything she does is to create a more equal world. But Saria always feels that if Dorothy is not disciplined, this ideal will sooner or later make her do something unimaginable.

Moreover, her self-care ability is very poor. It is hard to understand how a girl who basically relies on takeout to survive in the laboratory can have such a beautiful figure and fair and tender skin. Is this also some kind of talent of the Zarak people?

In short, whether out of public or private motives, Saria seriously suggested: "Ms. Dorothy, as the director of the Rhine Life Source Stone Technology Application Department, you should find an assistant."

"Eh, is this necessary?" Dorothy said in surprise. She was somewhat resistant to having an assistant, as it might cause her to reveal something embarrassing, such as secretly getting up late at night to continue her research, writing a bunch of unsent emails to her inbox, and various bad living habits.

But Saria still nodded firmly: "This is the custom of Rhine Life, and it is also for your own good."

"Woo..." Dorothy made a Dorothy-style whine, but ultimately did not refuse.

Just as Mr. Roy said, Saria from Rhine Life is really scary.

Ignoring Dorothy's soft complaints, Saria reminded: "Rhine Life will reimburse this part of the expenses. After selecting the assistant, go to the Human Resources Department to find Yara. You should know her. She will help your assistant with the entry procedures. If you don't have a candidate, you can also consult her and she will recommend you one."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Saria turned to leave. Dorothy interrupted and said,

"Wait, Saria. I..."

"What?" Saria frowned and turned around.

“I’ve always been curious, why would a company like Rhine Life establish a scientific research department?”

"Hmm?" Saria tilted her head in confusion, but didn't think much about it. Most people who joined Rhine Life had this doubt, but not many asked it as bluntly as Dorothy. But considering Dorothy's simple character, Saria didn't think it was strange, so she replied, "This is the decision of the general manager. But I think that both the starry sky above our heads and the earth under our feet are equally mysterious to us. The existence of the Kokoko is also for exploration."

"What results did the scientific research department have?"

Dorothy asked again.

This made Saria a little suspicious.

According to her background check on Dorothy, her family and research direction had nothing to do with Ke Kao Ke, so why was she so concerned about Ke Kao Ke's project?

But Dorothy's words also reminded her. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have not paid attention to the situation of the Science and Technology Department for quite a long time, and she knew nothing about their achievements. This was not normal. In Rhine Life, even the smallest department should submit a routine report every week. Even if the Science and Technology Department's report time will be extended due to the special nature of its research, it will not be so long that even Saria has no impression of it.

She narrowed her eyes, looked at Dorothy, and answered:

"For these matters, you can personally apply to the Science and Technology Department for data sharing. You are a director and have this right. I cannot give you an answer for the time being."

But I'll keep an eye on it.

Saria said in her heart, then nodded to Dorothy and left the department.

Her schedule today was very tight. After helping Dorothy move her luggage, she had to go with Mulseth to continue investigating the explosion at Hayden Pharmaceuticals. She also had to try to get back before the evening to accompany Ifrit to receive chimera therapy treatment.

hope everything is fine.

........

Casimir, Kavaleraki, Rhode Island Office.

An off-road vehicle full of wilderness atmosphere drove into the underground garage in a hurry. Roy got out of the car and breathed in the turbid air of the city.

"The air circulation in the underground garage isn't very good, but it's much better than the smell of sand in the wilderness."

He said this from the bottom of his heart. Unexpectedly, Skadi beside him silently added:

"It feels worse than... the sea."

Is the salty smell of the sea really good? And the way you said it almost made me think you were going to say something dangerous.

Roy complained in his heart, took out his cell phone and called Xiao Baijin.

The call was quickly connected, and Xinteleya's lazy voice came out, asking dazedly:

"Hey, Master Roy? What's up?"

"I'm back." Roy said happily.

Bang!

There was a sound of something hard falling to the ground from the other side of the microphone, followed by a cry of pain. A moment later, Xinteleya's voice, which was obviously much more energetic, sounded again:

"You're back? Where are you now, Master? I'll pick you up right away? Have you notified Monique?"

"Not yet in time." Roy said.

"That's good... No, I mean, let's give her a surprise later!" Xinteleya suggested with a clear conscience, "By the way, where are you now?"

"It's right across from the Yuanshiyun Department Store on Palm Street. I'll come out to find you after I park the car."

"Ok! I'll be there soon!"

There was a dead tone on the other end of the phone, and then it was hung up. Roy turned his head and looked at Margaret behind him, saying:

"Miss Yao Knight, will you go home first or come with me?"

"I'll go with you." Margaret said, "I didn't expect to come back so soon. I've already been back last time."

Roy nodded. He didn't expect to return to Casimir so soon, but he didn't want to accompany Rhodes Island to hang out in Leithania for two or three months. Since he had promised Viviana and Mayenna, he might as well take advantage of the two-month window to come back.

Leaving the underground garage and walking onto the street, the streets of the Great Knight Territory were still as prosperous as before. But Roy noticed some discordant colors.

"Please protect the Infected Knights' right to participate!"

A man wearing red Blood Knight-style armor was holding a sign and shouting at the top of his lungs.

Volume 1: Chapter 239: Demolition of Plot 0

Roy was sure that the man was not a Blood Knight. Although he was wearing Blood Knight-style armor, his height, physique, and roar did not match that of a Blood Knight at all.

The greater possibility is that he is a Blood Knight admirer and follower. This is not surprising.

Although there is a tradition in sports competitions that the first place winner takes everything and the second place winner gets nothing, the final between the Blood Knight and the Eternal Knight was too amazing. Whether it was the Blood Knight's five-fold clone's all-around attack or his last desperate triple wave of blood sea, it really shocked everyone's eyes. So much so that after the competition, the second place winner did not leave the stage as expected, but instead won more respect and popularity.

In addition, Roy left Casimir in a hurry after the game and did not take on any commercial promotion to maintain his popularity. The more secular, the Blood Knight who had been engaged in marketing actually caught up with the opportunity that the Business Federation urgently needed a publicity facade. Not only was he not assassinated by the No Helmet Alliance as in the original work, but his popularity rose steadily. Not caring about his identity as an infected person, naturally more and more fans followed and imitated him.

But what does the sign he is holding mean?

Roy frowned slightly, and just as he was about to go up and ask, he heard Xinteleya's breathless call from behind: "Master, where are you going?"

Roy turned around in surprise and looked at Xinteleya who was running towards him: "So fast?"

"I just happened to be nearby." Xinteleya took a breath, "Come with me quickly, there are a lot of people on the street now, if you are recognized, you will not be able to leave."

Roy was stunned: "I've been away from Casimir for almost three or four months, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"

Xinteleya showed a look that said, "Are you kidding me?" and asked, "Master, are you underestimating your popularity? Besides, don't you see who's standing next to you?"

Xinteleya had already noticed Margaret standing behind Roy, looking a little embarrassed. "The two most popular and talked-about champions in Casimir are together. You are as attractive as two spotlight balls when you walk on the street. If you don't want to be danced around by the paparazzi and fans of Red Wine News, follow me now. My car is parked in front."

Margaret, who was called out, looked at Roy awkwardly. Roy shrugged helplessly and shouted, "Skadi, let's go."

Skadi, who seemed to be worried about something, came back to her senses and nodded: "I'm coming."

Xinteleya's car was a bright silver convertible sports car with a streamlined body that was very artistically designed. There was also a Roy figurine in the car, standing in front of the cab, shaking as the car moved forward. Roy curiously reached out his hand and wanted to touch the Q-version figurine, but Xinteleya, who had reacted, stopped him with a blushing face:

"Wait wait wait, this, this, I forgot to put it away!"

"It's cute, why put it away?" Roy said with a smile. It's not some weird 2D figurine that people would call "F*ck". Roy not only doesn't mind this kind of QQ doll, but he actually likes it.

"Is that so?" Xinteleya glanced at Roy quietly, and seemed relieved. Then she pressed the button to raise the roof and covered the convertible top.

The mute effect was immediate. The noise and advertisements on the street disappeared immediately, and my ears suddenly became much quieter. Roy looked at the familiar streets around him and asked:

"By the way, Little Platinum, did anything happen to the Knight Territory while I was away?"

"Little Platinum?" Margaret realized belatedly that this was how Roy addressed Hintlaiya. She jumped subconsciously and hit her head on the ceiling of the car. She sat back in pain.

Xinteleya looked at Roy in surprise, then looked at Margaret and asked, "Don't you know the master's identity?"

"Uh... I know." Margaret nodded. In the few days when she was home, Maenna had revealed Roy's identity to her. But Roy had revealed too much cruel information in the past few days, and the identity of "human survivor" was too conspicuous. So Margaret forgot for a moment that Roy was once the Blue Gold Leader of the No Heir Alliance.

Since Xintelaiya calls Roy Master, it is self-evident what she is.

Seeing that Margaret had returned to normal, Xinteleya did not react much and answered Roy's question:

"Overall everything is fine. There are just some minor issues with plot zero."

Roy's eyes narrowed immediately. He had promised Blood Knight Dikaiopolis that he would help take care of Plot 0 after winning the championship. Although the agreement was based on the premise that the Blood Knight believed that if he lost the battle, he would definitely be abandoned or even purged by the capital, Roy did not deny the validity of this agreement.

Before she left Casimir, she also asked Monique, who was probably now a senior executive at Originium Cloud, and Xintelaiya, who was still in the reorganized Helmetless Alliance, to take care of Plot Zero.

One bright and one dark, under the watchful eyes of two forces, how could problems arise on Plot Zero?

"What happened? I just saw a Blood Knight fan holding a sign on the street that read [Protect the Infected Knights' Rights to Participate]. Is someone trying to break the promise they made to me?"

The Casimir Infected Knights' right to participate was established by Roy with the help of one of the three conditions with the Business Federation. Although the three conditions were not obtained in a formal way, as Roy's status, position and strength increased, the value of the promise was naturally incomparable.

If anyone wants to violate it, Roy really doesn't mind talking to him in person and teaching him to be a good citizen who abides by the law and keeps his promises.

But Xinteleya looked at Roy meaningfully and replied:

"No. Not really. To be precise, the issue of the infected knights' right to participate in the competition is not a big deal. Although some people have been opposing it, it is generally being promoted steadily. The problem lies in Plot Zero."

"According to the information Monique received from the Business Federation, Plot Zero will be demolished."

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

Chamber of Commerce, a meeting scene.

The spokesman spoke at length.

"As the economic core of Casimir and the capital of knight competition, the development of the great Kavaleriaki should and indeed symbolize the future of the entire Casimir. Block 0, as a slum, waste dump, and gathering place for criminals left over from the early days of the city, has ended its historical mission. According to the field investigation conducted by the Federation of Commerce and the Supervisory Committee, the cost of large-scale cleaning and reconstruction is too high. Therefore, the Federation of Commerce plans to dismantle Block 0 within half a year, separate it from Kavaleriaki, and then blast it. The plan is simple, economical, and affordable, and will be submitted to the National Council for review."

Before the representative could finish his words, a strong bronze arm was raised.

Blood Knight Dikaiopolis had a solemn and angry look on his face: "I object. There are still many residents in Block 0. How can you arbitrarily demolish it before you have resettled them?"

"Residents?" The representative's expression was obviously unfriendly when he was interrupted. "What do you mean? During the field investigation in Block Zero, we did not find any Casimir citizens with household registration information and legal and compliant living conditions. If you say there are, then please ask them to come out and bring their ID cards. The Business Federation will pay for their demolition compensation. Or do you think that the lawless elements, criminals, spies and illegal residents gathered there can be identified as members of the Grand Knight Territory?"

"But, the infected..."

"Boom boom boom!"

The Blood Knight was about to stand up and confront the speaker, but was interrupted by three gavel sounds from the Chief Justice of the National Council who was sitting in the presiding seat.

The middle-aged judge glanced at the Blood Knight, and then warned him:

"Audience members in the gallery are not allowed to interrupt the speech. You will be warned once."

After saying that, he sneered, lowered his voice and said to himself with disdain:

"Besides, who asked you?"

Volume 1: Chapter 240 Help Me, Director Dorothy

Roy still underestimated the bottom line of the Chamber of Commerce.

They were indeed intimidated by Roy's strength and did not dare to blatantly violate the promise they made, but without violating the promise, they had ten thousand ways to disguise the promise as empty words.

Roy knew that anyone with a little knowledge in Casimir knew that in Plot 0 of the Grand Knight's Territory Cavalelia, apart from a small number of lawless elements, criminal gangs or spies, the majority of the residents were actually infected.
