People are working on collapsing iron, and one concept-level capability is developed every month.

Manuscripts of "geniuses", research results of the "Erudite Society", top-secret star maps of the "company"... In short, all sorts of valuable "knowledge".

In addition, in order to maximize profits, Qingyi did not specify the required "knowledge" during the negotiations, but instead asked the "company" to open its think tank so that more professional Xianzhou researchers could select it later.

After glancing at it briefly, Lin Yinzhou returned the compensation agreement to Xueyi.

Xueyi accepted the treaty, knowing that Lin Yinzhou had no objections, and prepared to leave to take care of her business.

However, at that moment, Lin Yinzhou suddenly called out.

"Snow suit."

"Ok?"

"I'm planning to start my own business."

"..."

Xueyi paused slightly, staring intently at Lin Yinzhou's profile.

Lin Yinzhou chuckled lightly and asked meaningfully.

"Xueyi, do you think Hanya is interested in becoming a diplomat?"

"Ok?"

Xueyi tilted her head slightly, as if she understood something.

--------------------------------------

My mother has been sick these past two days, and we've been working non-stop at both the hospital and home. I'm finally able to relax a bit.

Still available today.

Volume 1: Chapter 126, The Singer Clan

Before Xueyi could ask any further questions, Lin Yinzhou changed the subject and said.

"What do you think General Jingyuan's reaction would be if he knew I was leaving?"

Xueyi put aside her previous question for the moment and thought for a moment before saying, "There may be some regrets, but more than anything, I feel relieved and fortunate."

"Yes, that's mostly true."

Lin Yinzhou felt a little emotional.

Then, as if remembering something, he turned his head to look at Xueyi.

"Ok?"

Xueyi tilted her head slightly, puzzled.

Lin Yinzhou smiled and came to Xueyi, leading her to sit down nearby.

He wrapped his arms around Xueyi's slender waist and gently pressed his lips against Xueyi's delicate and smooth face.

Xueyi was even more puzzled. They were still talking about serious matters, how did they suddenly start to go off-topic?

"Surely the Immortal Ship wouldn't refuse another strategic partner?"

Lin Yinzhou whispered in Xueyi's ear with a smile and asked.

Seeing that Lin Yinzhou had returned to the main topic, Xueyi, though puzzled, did not ask further. She gathered her thoughts and answered truthfully.

"No, your strength is very strong, and your abilities are also very strange. In addition, given our previous interactions, no matter what the circumstances, the Immortal Boat Alliance will not refuse to become a strategic partner with you."

"Once we take over the Azure Radiance Star Sea, you, Huo Huo, and Han Ya will all become diplomats. I'll prepare an embassy for you, right here in my courtyard. How does that sound?"

"courtyard?"

"It could also be a palace? I haven't decided what kind of accommodation I want yet."

Do diplomats need to work in the palace of their host family?

Such intimacy makes them seem less like diplomats and more like... wives and concubines?

Well, she doesn't actually mind this. No, it's not that she doesn't mind, but rather that it's already a fait accompli.

But... little sister...

Seeing that Xueyi seemed hesitant, Lin Yinzhou immediately understood that she was thinking about Hanya.

His eyes darted around, and he pressed his face against Xueyi's, speaking in a seductive manner.

"Han Ya has been working for so long, it's time for her to rest. By the standards of the Immortal Boat people, you and Han Ya are already considered quite old, it's time for you to retire and enjoy a peaceful life. Come here, spend your days tending to flowers and plants, it's definitely better than being in the 'Ten Kings Division'."

"..."

Xueyi remained silent.

She knew all too well how leisurely life was by Lin Yinzhou's side; she only needed to help with some errands occasionally, and was mostly free.

But such leisure comes at a price...

Thinking of this, Xueyi suddenly felt a heat in her lower abdomen. She looked down and saw that Lin Yinzhou's hand had slipped into her clothes and was now caressing her abdomen.

"If my little sister is willing, I... have no objection."

After a brief hesitation, Xueyi gave her answer.

Suddenly, she realized that her younger sister should also try a different life; this was her realization after becoming a "woman".

No matter what, my sister shouldn't be a "girl" her whole life.

"Alright."

Lin Yinzhou's hand continued to slide upwards, and the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became ambiguous.

Taking advantage of the ambiguity before the main event, Lin Yinzhou continued.

"When you send the message back later, remember to have General Jingyuan send some ruthless researchers over. We'll each take a copy of the 'knowledge' they find."

"Of course, it's not free. Remember to make it clear to the general that if you take the things, you'll have to help me establish myself in the Azure Radiance Star Sea afterwards."

"In this world, wherever there are people, there is conflict. If Canghui Star Sea is truly as prosperous as the 'Company' claims, there will definitely be many troubles after taking over. I have too few capable people to govern a region; they are all ruthless killers. If I let them manage it, I'm really afraid they'll blow up the entire planet."

"so......"

Lin Yinzhou gripped the not-too-small but not-too-small symbol of justice on Xueyi's chest, his fingers tightening slightly. "I need 'Luofu' to provide me with a group of talented individuals capable of governing a region, and also to help me cultivate some more obedient officials."

"In addition, there are many other miscellaneous matters that I will need to trouble your Immortal Boat Alliance with."

"There's one last thing..."

Lin Yinzhou whispered in Xueyi's ear.

A moment later, Xueyi looked at Lin Yinzhou with slight surprise, "Why did you attack them?"

Lin Yinzhou held onto justice, sighed softly, and said, "There's no other way. Since we're going to establish our own sect, we need to have our own foundation. Besides Black Phoenix and the others, who are high-end combatants, I also need some of my fellow clansmen from the middle and lower classes. Morana and the others' nine thousand-plus people are too few. I need more. There are no more suitable targets besides them."

"How about golden men? The Immortal Ship Alliance can provide you with enough golden men."

"I want the Jurchens, and I want them too! Since it's a foundation, the stronger the foundation, the better!"

"Foundation... um~"

After letting out a slightly suppressed groan, Xueyi subconsciously adjusted her posture.

"Have you... decided on a name yet?"

"Name? What name?" Lin Yinzhou paused slightly. "The child's name?"

"No, it's... the name of your faction. Now that you've decided to establish your own independent entity, you'll need a name for it in the future, right?"

"You mean this...?"

Lin Yinzhou continued his previous actions while deep in thought.

After a long while, Lin Yinzhou's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Singers! Let's call ourselves the 'Singers' clan!"

Due to the nature of [Enlightenment], his people are born idols from the moment they are born. They are not only good at singing and dancing, but also better at integrating their singing into their abilities.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be perfect to call them the "Singer" clan?

"A 'singer'? That does fit the bill."

Xueyi, her pretty face flushed, murmured softly.

With the business concluded, Lin Yinzhou began to focus all his attention on dealing with the Immortal Ship Heavy Industry in front of him.

No, in a way, the current Snow Robe should be considered... Singer Heavy Industry.

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

Meanwhile, at the starport of "Pierpoint".

Upon seeing that "Scarface" had finally returned, Taravan and other department executives immediately stepped forward.

"What on earth happened? How come all the 'Sky Guardians' have been wiped out?"

"I ask you without any politeness," Taravan asked.

"..."

After a moment of silence, "Scarface" asked, "What about the people on 'Skyguard'?"

From Tianwei-1 to Tianwei-7, there were not only various autonomous weapons, but also many researchers and armed personnel.

She wanted to know where these people had gone.

Talavan rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing! I was watching from below the whole time, and there wasn't even a warning. All seven 'Skyguard' satellites just vanished! And everyone disappeared too!"

"..."

"Scarface" remained silent for a long while before finally saying in a low voice, "Taravan, the task of hunting down Oswaldo is entrusted to you. I want to see his body before tonight."

Taravan frowned, knowing that "Scarface" had no intention of explaining.

"Alright, I got it. Give me the stuff, I'm leaving now."

"Scarface" took out the "String Wave Instrument" and handed it to Taravan.

Talavan didn't bother to say anything more, took the "String Wave Instrument," and turned to board his luxurious starship.

------------------------------------

I'll update two chapters first; I have to go to the hospital tomorrow morning.

I'll update again in a couple of days.

Volume 1: Chapter 127, The Star Core Hunters in Action

In the vast universe, in a secret base unknown to anyone.

Silver Wolf, clutching a bag of potato chips, nestled in his space chair, watching the live broadcast from "Pierpoint" with great interest.

"Knock---Knock---"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Without turning his head, Silver Wolf said, "Go in."

The visitor was none other than Kafka. She pushed open the door and slowly approached the silver wolf, asking with great interest.

"What are you looking at, Silver Wolf?"

"Live from Pierpoint!"

Silver Wolf said excitedly, "That guy is really capable! He actually made the 'Company' admit its mistake! And he even destroyed all of 'Pierpoint's' satellites! Amazing..."

As he spoke, Silver Wolf suddenly felt a sense of relief, "Luckily, I listened to your advice and didn't provoke him, otherwise..."

After hearing Kafka's fantastical claims, she was genuinely itching to try it herself, even knowing that failure would turn her into a "cream puff."

Fortunately, since that day, many of the games she often plays have launched events, and she's been busy grinding through them, thinking she'll find out more about that guy when she has some free time.

As soon as he had a moment to himself, he discovered that the guy had already typed "Pierpont".

Has the company actually bowed down?

Kafka stroked her perfectly curved chin, seemingly lost in thought.
