Star Railroad: Great Guardian of Beloberg

She knew that her minister was also moving towards a seat on the board of directors, so she wanted to put this piece of paper on the table as a trump card to get the seat when necessary.

"Thirty quadrillion credit points. That's a number I couldn't imagine when Minister Diamond opened his mouth. I had to count the zeros for a long time." Alex finally spoke up and said, "But from what I know, compared to the funding that Ms. Black Tower received, this seems to be a lot less."

The last person to receive a large amount of funding from the company was Black Tower. As for that lady, the company's attitude was to approve the amount of money she asked for according to the process, with no upper limit. Of course, Alex also knew that she could really create wealth for the company. He was just a weapon with strategic value.

"This amount is the upper limit that the director of the Strategic Investment Department can sign alone." Diamond said, "Since Mr. Rand and Ms. Black Tower are familiar with each other, they should also understand the company's complicated departments and processes. I can bring this matter to the board of directors as a proposal to obtain a funding amount several times this amount for Mr. Rand. However, the company has its own rules and regulations, and the approval of the process and the entry of specialists are inevitable."

To be honest, Esta would rather pay for things out of her own pocket than go through the company's procedures, which are too time-consuming. Last time, Esta said that she would ask the company for money to scrap the predator robot. There must be money, but at least in the short term, the money will not be approved so quickly.

"And I can give Mr. Rand the green light by following the department's internal procedures. Thirty quadrillion credit points will be credited to the account within twenty-four hours of the contract being signed. Moreover, no specialist will be dispatched, and no funds will be audited. I can guarantee that this amount will only increase in the future, not decrease."

As expected of a minister, he took advantage of Beloberg's desire not to be interfered with by the company and shifted the amount of money to the complexity of the process.

This feeling... is irresistible.

The Annihilation Gang was still poor, the Star Core Hunters were also poor, and the Star Train was also traveling the universe on a budget. Except for the rich woman Esta, Alex knew nothing about real wealth. He had previously thought that it would be nice to get a trillion-level consultant's salary as a security consultant. With this stable income, the Beloberg could travel around the universe without having to worry too much about trade.

The vision is narrow.

Unexpectedly, the actual situation is:

I, Alex Rand, the spokesman for nothingness, get paid by the company!

Swish.

The Interstellar Peace Bank received 3000 trillion credit points.

If I had known it was so simple, I would have been so busy in the past few years. If the person I met today was not from the Strategic Investment Department, there might not be any cooperation. There are also radicals in the protection department. A certain director is crazy about paganism. The company is very complicated. Power struggles and family factional disputes are happening every minute. If someone else talks, there will be completely different results, and even fighting may happen.

After all, the people in the company just now were not very respectful to him.

"Ms. Heita needs to share some research and patents with the company." Alex didn't agree so quickly, but asked, "Then what does the Minister of Diamond need me to do if he funds me?"

Minister Diamond smiled and said, "Let's make friends."

No wonder he can become the director of a company that spans the entire universe. Look at his courage and vision.

Friend Gold!

Chapter 74 It’s too late, Mirror Flow is ruined

Of course, people in the company would not use such vague terms to express "making friends". They would precisely define how friends should get along with each other. The diamond minister did not hide anything and only made three requests.

First, there are two board members and some company executives in Qianxing who are having a headache because of Huanlong's appearance, and they are afraid that Huanlong will target them. Diamond needs Alex to have a meal with the other party as a "friend of the Minister of Strategic Investment Department Diamond".

Alex's identity and diamonds will be circulated in a small range. What he wants is to make these people feel at ease and owe them favors as well as favors from him and Alex. These people are the ones who hold the real power in Thousand Star Trade. If Alex goes there to have a meal and show his face, he can get more favorable discounts in the future.

The second thing is what friends should do, which is to lend a hand when needed. Of course, Diamond does not need Alex to assume any duties such as bodyguard or escort. He only hopes that in the future, when the Beloberg encounters a major crisis or accident within 1-2 jumps, Alex will lend a hand for the sake of friendship. Every time he helps, he will give an additional "friend gold".

Alex likes the term friend Kim.

The third one, which was not really a request, was personal friendship. Minister Diamond invited Alex and the Belloborg to visit Pierpoint's company and to visit his private resort planet.

Resort planet… The word made Alex feel once again the Minister’s wealth.

The terms were very generous, just helping out occasionally. To be honest, the obligations of this grant were less than what Alex had imagined as a security consultant.

The funding contract was signed. The minister went offline and said that the funds would be put in place as soon as possible. Alex looked at Topa, who was silent at the meeting, with some surprise. He guessed that the cooperation was reached so quickly. It had a lot to do with this debt handler.

"Do you really believe that I'm not a bad person this time?"

Alex said this to Topa jokingly, and Topa replied with a smile: "I would rather believe that hunting and destruction stand together than believe that nothingness and destruction have anything to do with each other."

"The company will send electronic passes to all members of the Beloberg as soon as possible." Topa encrypted the electronic contract and stored it on the server. He said, "On behalf of the minister, I invite Mr. Rand to attend the dinner later. After the dinner, the Beloberg can travel freely in the Thousand Stars."

"The external blockade of Thousand Stars will last for a few days, but the internal martial law will be lifted on the surface, and all facilities will be reopened. We will also repair the orbital observation elevator of D039 as soon as possible."

…………

After Alex came out, he found Tingyun and said that he would help contact the hunting general Jingyuan tomorrow. Tingyun suggested that there was no need to go through the company. If the company knew that Luofu was about to get into trouble, it would not be a good thing. After thanking her repeatedly, she made some preparations to sort out her thoughts and prepare to report the situation to her hometown.

"Pay money." Alex suggested to Bronya, "Once the company's money arrives, give each person 88 credit points based on population, and treat all the crew members of the Beloberg equally."

That's just a few bucks. At most, it's 200 billion, which is a ten thousand less than the money given by Diamond.

"Qianxing will not be lifted so quickly. We will have two days off. They can do whatever they want with it."

Let's have fun with our fellow villagers. You have just left your hometown, so be happy and see the world with the attitude of a tour group.

"I'll study it." The specific operation is definitely not as easy as Alex said. 88 credit points is the base number, and some people have to give more according to their contributions. And travel also has to consider safety. Bronya thinks running around is not a good idea, so she will find a travel group from Qianxing to cooperate.

Afterwards, Alex went to the eighth floor alone for a working dinner. The company's director had already known his identity as a envoy in advance and was very enthusiastic. He invited Alex to stay for two more days. With a friendly envoy, the threat of Huanlong was greatly reduced. Alex also learned that Qianxing was transferring personnel and equipment from the headquarters to target Huanlong. They had to make sure that Huanlong really left before unblocking Qianxing.

That's right, these directors didn't want to capture Huanlong - that would cause the antimatter army to counterattack and affect the battle of Qianxing Industry. They wanted to drive the other party away. They also have their own little thoughts. If they let him go now, it would be hard to say who Huanlong is in the future. They are also suspected targets, which will affect their future career development. Imprisoning them together and confirming that they are correct is the best choice.

The airport was sealed off, and ordinary people were sealed off. But for the envoys whose bodies could travel through the universe, this blockade was useless. They did this just to force Huanlong to leave quickly.

Alex just ate, and the directors just complained. Anyway, Alex was very happy. Faced with the enthusiastic invitation of the three directors, he still chose to refuse and explained the situation, saying that he would not leave before the blockade was lifted. The other party sent Alex away with regret.

Alex still has things to do.

Go find the woman you marked - Jingliu.

"Your willpower is quite strong." On the holiday planet, Alex finally followed the scent and found the mirror flow that he had blessed. The woman in front of him was holding an ice sword and walking towards him step by step with a blindfold on.

After being infused with the power of nothingness, Axu turned into a useless dragon that needed someone to take care of him. But the woman in front of him could still walk on her own. You know, she was covered with the mud of nothingness - that was the power of nothingness that Alex had accumulated through the ninth organ and directly took from my Lord.

Her willpower was indeed far superior to others. It was quite amazing that she could still maintain some of her self after falling into the demonic body and was just crazy. The former Sword Master... Alex didn't know her past, and didn't know how heavy the title of Sword Master was. He only knew that the other party attacked him.

That's going to cost you money.

"The Envoy of Plenty is not here. Did he leave? It seems you have been abandoned by your companions."

Normally, the pharmacist would frown when he saw the nothingness on her body. Of course, the pharmacist would definitely save her if he saw her, but the way he saved her would probably be a bit SAN-depleting. Whatever the Envoy of the Order of Plenty wanted to do, it was probably impossible. Instead, he had to be careful not to come into contact with the nothingness left on Jingliu to affect the poison.

Now that the truth has been revealed, we should have stepped up our actions before Qianxing was unsealed.

Alex walked towards Jingliu step by step, and Jingliu had a conflicted look on his face. She instinctively raised her sword and wanted to attack, but the power that was more terrifying than the demon's body was affecting her judgment. But even so, when Alex's hand reached towards her chest, her thousand-year obsession still made her swing the sword and stab Alex!

But, it was too slow. In this situation where he couldn't concentrate, no matter how skilled he was, every move of Jingliu seemed like slow motion in Alex's eyes. Alex walked directly to her side and slapped her left chest with his hand filled with the power of nothingness!

thump—

Jingliu's body was knocked flying and stopped in mid-air, and then the surging black and purple mysterious nothingness bound her hands and feet like chains, poured into her internal organs like a surging ocean wave, and drilled into her seven orifices like the world snake!

"Uhhhhhh!"

Jing Liu struggled in great pain, she was instinctively resisting this nothingness!

How many hundreds of years has this woman been trapped in the devil's body? Alex was surprised. Her internal organs had long been transformed by the power of abundance. Her body was like a plant growing randomly. It had long been messed up by the power of abundance. Her organs were deformed and entangled.

I guess just standing there would make you feel pain that ordinary people cannot resist.

How can it maintain its human shape?

Although he was surprised and admired the other party's willpower, it didn't mean that Alex would stop at this moment. The power of nothingness silently climbed up the fertile branches, dissolving all the power that should not exist.

"I'm not lying, Jingliu. No matter what the cost, we need to kill Him."

"Huanlong is the bait. The target this time is her."

"If your goal is to kill gods, then we should stand aside."

"Master, let me repay your kindness by teaching you this move! My great spirit, obey my command and kill without mercy!"

"It's... it's a traitor, run away, Cloud Riders, retreat!"

"Why are you trying to kill us, Master Swordsman?"

"You are a legend in Luofu! I am not willing to swing my sword at you."

“Ahhh!” Amid Jingliu’s painful roar, her memories began to fade away. She saw the figure of her former accomplice Luosha and saw him speaking. She saw the evil creature of abundance die under her sword, and she also saw the horrified looks of her former comrades. She saw…

"Those who fall into the devil's shadow, the six senses are reversed, and all human relations are lost. Go back, Jingyuan, Jingliu has passed away."

"Cheers~ Yingxing, stop frowning, Yinyue should also smile."

"Master, he doesn't recognize us."

"It is like this when you fall into the body of a demon. If one day I fall into the body of a demon, you must not show mercy."

"Yes, Master."

"Keep this oath, we, the Cloud Riders, will be like clouds covering the sky, protecting the Immortal Boat. Draw your swords!"

All the scenes in her memory were rewinding before her eyes, but Jingliu could no longer recognize who they were. She could no longer feel nostalgia, joy, pain, or tears because of the memories. The will of nothingness was pouring into her soul, making her feel exhausted.

Forget it.

The past is like clouds and smoke, all is nothingness.

Forget everything.

Memories are like wild horses, like lightning, like a boning knife piercing through the intestines, but in the end, the heart is free of worries and all is empty.

The emptiness is bitter, the qi turns into the wind and returns to the earth.

Jing Liu felt that she was in a vast and quiet universe, without form or self. She could only see one person in front of her, the black-haired young man. She saw an unspeakable existence, and through his eyes, she opened His eyes.

Leave.

It seems that everything that happens here is false.

…………

boom.

Looking at Jing Liu who fainted on the ground, Alex slowly withdrew his hand. He shook his head. It was really a bad experience to regard himself as my master. There was a feeling of returning.

Alex looked at his hands and thought: Although he still didn't know where his limit was, he knew that the limit should not be touched easily. If it was really touched, he would feel completely empty. Only as the belief in his will grew, could he accommodate more nothingness.

My Lord will not refuse. How much I can accommodate is entirely up to my will. Alex found that he might have borrowed power from my Lord that was close to that of a star god, but the price was...

Turn into nothingness.

You have to confirm the path you should take as soon as possible.

Alex shook his head. Of course, unless Nanook came to cause trouble for him right now, he would not be forced to this point. No, no, no, the probability of Aha coming was much higher than that of Nanook.

Putting these thoughts aside, Alex looked at the woman on the ground. The vitality provided by abundance had been destroyed, just like Axu, the core of destruction turned into the core of nothingness. The same was true for the woman in front of him. After accepting his blessing, she had changed from a demonic body to...

Alex thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a nice name, so he just called it "waste body".

At this moment, Jingliu opened her golden-red eyes, with some confusion on her face, and looked at the only person beside her - Alex.

Who am I? Where do I come from and where am I going?

Why does even thinking make people feel so lazy? Jing Liu squinted his eyes and looked at Alex, then closed them again. After a moment, a terrifying sword intent suddenly burst out from her body!

What the hell is going on?

Alex looked at Jingliu in surprise. He was already prepared. He would do the same thing as Kyon did back then, and coax her to work for him. That was right. He planned to turn her into a useless person and train her well, so that she would be the guard of Beloberg like Kyon. After all, she was quite good at fighting, and no one except Kyon could take her down.

But what's going on now? What's going on with this sword intent? How come it's stronger than when it stabbed me this afternoon?

"The Supreme One forgets emotions; Heaven is the most private, but it uses them in the most impartial way..." Jing Liu murmured the words, but the sword intent on his body became stronger and stronger. It was pure sword intent without any emotion, and this power seemed to split the heaven and earth apart!

No way, no way? Alex pulled out Ruoshuang. This woman's willpower and martial arts are so terrifying? After becoming nothingness, her sword will was tempered instead. Did her martial arts go a step further by breaking through the void?

It’s a bit dangerous. I can’t stay here.

Jing Liu murmured a few words, "Kill the gods?" That was her obsession that she could not completely forget even if she was in the void, a vague reappearance of the past. She restrained her sword intent, looked at Alex who had the same aura, slowly stood up, then knelt on one knee, and said calmly:

"Disciple Jingliu, please teach me the God-killing Sword."

Alex uttered a sound.

Master? What the hell? Did I mess this up?

Chapter 75: Disciple Jingliu meets his master

There is a problem! And it is a big problem!

Alex looked at Jingliu who was kneeling in front of him. There was no doubt that the breath on his body was my breath. He could not detect the madness of the demonic body. He had successfully rewritten the other's body with nothingness. All the organs made by abundance were gone. Her body was the same as Axu's. Everything had turned into chaotic nothingness.

That's right, if you use X-ray to look at Jing Liu's body, she has no heart or internal organs, just pure and beautiful nothingness. Of course, it only affects the innermost organs, and the others are not affected.

"Do you still remember your name?" Not becoming a cripple is considered a rare talent. Alex did not sense murderous intent from the other party, but a peaceful aura like moonlight.

Logically speaking, he should have become a fool. He had taken in quite a lot, and his body was filled with the power of nothingness.

"Yes, the name of Jingliu." Jingliu showed a little confusion on his face, lowered his head and recalled: "It is a merit and a fault, a glory and a sin, Jingliu dare not forget... No, it is the disciple who is obsessed."

She seemed to have figured something out and said, "Mirror Flow is Mirror Flow."
