Now that Interstellar Peace Corporation is willing to provide humanitarian assistance to Yalilo, let's go all the way with humanitarianism.
"After removing these additional factors, the final debt of Ariello is... these." Toppa tapped the screen for a moment before calculating the final debt figures.
Toppa moved the screen directly in front of Chen Luo.
"Hmm...it does seem like a lot less, but it's still an astronomical figure," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.
"Would you like me to contact Miss Estádio for you?" Toppa asked considerately.
"Hmm, you don't actually think that the repayment method I mentioned is to guarantee that Estella will beg me to pay off my debts, right?"
"Uh, it's not that exaggerated." Topa shook his head awkwardly.
Well, that was indeed what Toppa originally thought, but seeing Chen Luo's strength, he felt that Miss Estádio's investment would definitely not be a loss.
After all, he was a mortal who could wound and severely injure a star god with a single sword strike.
Isn't this much better than any messenger?
In any case, people like that will never lack money.
"Your suggestion is quite tempting. After all, being kept by a rich woman must feel pretty good... It's just a pity that this time, the one keeping me isn't a beautiful young girl, but a heartless robot." Chen Luo sighed.
“You mean…” Toppa frowned.
Toppa didn't quite understand what Chen Luo was saying.
“Although these numbers are so many I don’t know how to read them all, and I don’t have that much money, I’ve decided to repay the debt double so I won’t feel guilty. After all, even though you didn’t leave instructions on how to use the mechs, you did leave behind the mechs. And your help to Yalilo is very important from a fair and just standpoint,” Chen Luo said.
"Double the debt repayment?" Toppa tilted his head.
In all his years of collecting debts, Toppa has never heard of such an outrageous demand.
“That’s right, it’s decided then. Record it under the name of Void Treasury.” Chen Luo snapped his fingers.
A drop of water in need should be repaid with a spring of water. Although the Interstellar Peace Corporation rewarded him and clarified the debt, if the Interstellar Peace Corporation had not provided funds to build the high wall, even more people would have died in Yalilo at that time.
If Yalilo were to repay this amount in full, he certainly wouldn't be able to afford it. However, since the Interstellar Peace Company has waived the overdue interest after 280 years and also waived the principal investment in the mechs... Chen Luo doesn't mind spending a little more money if he has sufficient funds.
As for the double compensation deal, the price is actually not much different from the original debt.
Negotiating debt compensation does not conflict with Chen Luo's willingness to give more.
Chen Luo was happy to agree.
Anyway, it wasn't Chen Luo's money that was spent.
“Mr. Void Treasury?” Topa was taken aback.
Toppa knew this person very well, after all, thanks to Mr. Void Treasury's assistance to the planet, Toppa's success rate in acquiring and transforming the entire planet while collecting debts increased to 90%.
The success rate of the entire Interstellar Peace Corporation in acquiring and modifying planets has also increased from 60% to 80%.
It's widely said that Void Treasury, which allocates nearly half of its profits to support planetary construction, is one of the few companies with a conscience that Interstellar Peace Corporation possesses.
"Okay, just put the bill on my tab." The gentle voice of Void Treasury came through Toppa's earpiece.
“Yes, Mr. Void Treasury.” After readily agreeing, Topa’s gaze toward Chen Luo became even more peculiar.
Toppa had not investigated how good the relationship was between Chen Luo and Void Treasury before.
Could it be that the reason Miss Estella said that Toppa wouldn't believe her even if she told him, is because of the relationship between Chen Luo and Void Treasury?
That's really something!
"Excuse me, Mr. Chen Luo, what is your relationship with Mr. Void Treasury...?" Topa couldn't suppress his gossipy nature.
Meanwhile, in the conference room of the Star God Interstellar Peace Company, where Chen Luo had severely injured the executives with a single sword strike, the "Diamond" of the Strategic Investment Department—the Guardian Token Envoy—also asked a similar question.
“The Void and the Myriad Treasures, I think you should explain this matter.”
"What's there to explain? The answer is often right there in the riddle itself." Void Repository rested his chin on his crossed hands.
"What do you mean?"
"You've always loved to speculate about who I, who I use as a weapon, should swear allegiance to? Why didn't you recognize that person when they appeared? Oh, right, let me reintroduce myself."
Void Treasury slowly stood up, bowed slightly, and then its body gradually liquefied, turning into a golden regular hexahedron.
"I am Void Treasury, the First Divine Key, formerly belonging to the Moth Chasing Fire, and currently held by the Traveler of Destiny, the Omnipotent Puppeteer, the God of Wishes—Chen Luo."
After Void Treasury finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the conference room.
Meanwhile, in the conference room at Crippleburg, Toppa stared wide-eyed at the Void Treasury that had appeared out of nowhere.
Toppa thought he had already seen enough to amaze him today, but he never expected that the big boss was still to come.
Whether Chen Luoneng kills the Star God with a single sword strike or severely injures him, what does that have to do with Toppa?
Anyway, Toppa isn't a star god.
Moreover, although he works for the Interstellar Peace Corporation and has absolute respect for the Guardian Star God, it's hard to say how strong his faith is.
Whether it was Chen Luo who destroyed the Interstellar Peace Company or the Star God who smashed Pierpont with a single punch, it had nothing to do with Toppa.
But the Void Treasury really is related to Toppa!
Void Treasury had shown some kindness to Topa, donating a fortune in supplies to Topa's home planet... although Void Treasury did this to many planets.
Although the fact that Mr. Void Treasury often changes his appearance can be quite puzzling.
Void Treasury often appears as a person in the form of Otto, but only when it is in a formal setting.
Pato even saw the loli-like appearance of Void Treasury in private.
Void Archives particularly likes to appear in this form when making games.
Toppa had previously speculated about who the former owner of the Void Archives was, but he never expected to see it today.
Since you already have the Void Treasury wallet, why are you still haggling?

“Mr. Void Treasury, didn’t you say that your former homeland has been destroyed?” Topa couldn’t help but gossip.
“Indeed, it was destroyed when I came to this world, but different worlds have different flow rates... Just imagine that I accidentally traveled to a few decades before the world was destroyed,” said Void Treasury, who transformed back into human form from a golden hexahedron.
However, at this time, the image of Void Treasury was very different from that of Otto; instead, it was that of a gray-haired little girl.
I've seen this character before, when I visited Mr. Void Repository at the game development studio.
The word "sir" is not always used to address women, so it is not a problem to use it as a form of address.
"Sigh, you've turned into Number 17's appearance again."
"Then... Fairy Ellie? Heavy Bunny? Hacker Silver Wolf? Or Bronya, the Russian executive?" Void Treasury asked.
“…Let’s go with number 17, no need to change it.” Chen Luo quickly stopped him.
"Dr. Mei, it's been a long time." Void Repository, maintaining this demeanor, greeted Dr. Mei beside him.
"Long time no see, Void Treasury." Dr. Mei smiled.
"Doesn't that mean that you, Mr. Void Treasury, now have a chance to save your homeland that hasn't been completely destroyed?" Toppa seemed unfazed by Void Treasury's current appearance, yet he was concerned about something else.
"...It can't be stopped, but it can be rebuilt. The waters here are very deep, Toppa, so don't worry anymore." Void Treasury shook its head.
"Then... what should we do now?" The appearance of Void Treasury completely disrupted Topa's rhythm.
But in a sense, it seems that a different outcome was achieved.
For example, since Chen Luo's weapon, Void Treasury, holds a high position in the Interstellar Peace Company, does it mean that there is a major connection between the Interstellar Peace Company and Chen Luo, and that the next step is a period of peaceful coexistence?
In a way that no one expected, an ending that no one dared to even imagine was achieved...
“I have a project here worth 80 billion credits. I wonder if you want to talk about it?” Chen Luo asked Toppa.
"80 billion credits?" Topa was taken aback.
It's not that there are too many projects, but rather that there are too few.
This 80 billion credit points is less than a fraction of the exorbitant debt mentioned earlier.
Of course, to be fair, this project does sound quite large.
What project?
"Interstellar transportation projects, like the instantaneous teleportation that just happened, where Void Treasury teleported directly from the high-level conference room at the Interstellar Peace Corporation headquarters to the conference room on Yalilo 6. Do you think there's potential in using this method for interstellar transportation?" Chen Luo asked.
"Yes. But..." Toppa had something to say, but he wasn't sure if he should.
Chen Luo's interstellar transportation project, coupled with this instantaneous teleportation capability, is indeed astonishing, but it seems to overlap with the business of the Interstellar Peace Company.
Interstellar Peace Corporation's business extends far beyond interstellar transportation. In fact, it encompasses a vast array of industries across countless planets, including video game communications, commodity manufacturing, buying high and selling low, light industry, heavy industry, and more.
However, Interstellar Peace Corporation will obviously not give up the interstellar transportation industry.
Who do you think you are? I...
and many more!
Toppa seemed to have thought of something very important.
With the influence of Void Treasury in the Interstellar Peace Corporation and even throughout the galaxy, it seems that going out on his own wouldn't be a problem.
Putting aside everything else, even those planets blessed by the Void Treasury would think of Paradise Express first when considering their transportation needs.
The Void is playing a grand game!
As long as the park's fees are similar to those of Interstellar Peace Corporation, capturing half of the interstellar transportation business in the entire galaxy wouldn't be too difficult for the park.
Or even if it's a bit more expensive than Interstellar Peace Corporation, it's still affordable because it's truly fast.
Did it take two seconds for Void Treasury to disappear from Interstellar Peace Corporation and reappear in Yalilo?
Even food delivery isn't this fast!
Not to mention interstellar transport, which spans an even more terrifying distance.
If the cost isn't too high, then who can beat you?
For businesses, time is life.
The other high-ranking officials, who were listening to the plot development through the earpiece carried by Toppa, also seemed to have grasped Chen Luo's subtext and began to wonder if Chen Luo meant to explore new markets with Interstellar Peace Company.
Or should we directly seize the market that Interstellar Peace Corporation already has?
Calling it robbery is a bit of an overstatement. After all, the world belongs to the locals, and the planets belong to them. It's their business what methods they choose for interstellar cargo transportation.
There are only so many options in the market; everyone has to rely on their own abilities!
Well... this time, the opponent of Interstellar Peace Corporation is a bit difficult to deal with.
"Mr. Chen Luo, are you planning to enter the interstellar transportation industry? Do you want to cooperate with Interstellar Peace Company to jointly develop interstellar transportation business, or do you want to go it alone?" Topa asked tentatively.
"Interstellar transportation is definitely a solo endeavor, since we have virtually no costs, so there's no need for cooperation. While sharing your upstream and downstream interstellar transportation channels would certainly accelerate the development of our interstellar business, I doubt you'd give up so easily."
Even if you want interstellar transport, you still need to have a physical store in that world.
In matters like this, Interstellar Peace Corporation has ample resources, but Paradise does not.
Rapid interplanetary transport based on planets must be officially recognized by that planet, right? As a paradise for latecomers, it shows its decline in this respect.
"I just wanted to say... if your Interstellar Peace Company is planning to save on its interstellar transportation costs, you can come to Paradise. Don't worry, we'll give you a very generous price," Chen Luo said, resting his chin on his hand.
“This…” Toppa roughly understood.
Chen Luo wasn't talking to himself, but to the higher-ups behind him.
"Mr. Chen Luo, do you plan to focus solely on logistics in the future, or do you intend to expand your business in more in-depth areas?" Topa asked.
This is the biggest point of contention between Interstellar Peace Company and the Paradise Company, which belongs to Chen Luo.
If it were just about interstellar logistics transportation, it might encroach on the most important business of the Interstellar Peace Company's building materials logistics department. However, Chen Luo also said that the Interstellar Peace Company could also use Chen Luo's channels to transport materials.
This would greatly reduce the transportation costs for the Interstellar Peace Company and even allow them to obtain more profits.
Low profit margins and high sales volume is also a business strategy.
This collaborative project may even greatly boost enthusiasm for market expansion.
However, if Chen Luo intends to use this crucial interstellar logistics as a springboard to build a commercial empire and ultimately control everything, then the Interstellar Peace Corporation will certainly not back down.
"Don't worry, Paradise only does two things in this galaxy: deliveries and mercenaries."
"mercenary?"
