Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

"Is your comrade not finished yet? If you don't come soon, Mr. Jiang, you will be the first to leave?" Beneath the warm and polite words, cold arrogance was surging.

Abandoning the ridiculous-looking gold coin gun, the opal gem inlaid on the Topaz gauntlet began to shine. Jiang Yan, who had blocked this move several times before, knew very well that the next moment, an energy attack at least several times stronger than the rainbow light jet emitted by the gold coin gun would hit.

But so what?

With a tip of his toes, the large shield under his feet jumped into Jiang Yan's left hand. As he stroked the amber inlaid on the large shield, a sense of security immediately arose.

The battle with the Cocolia illusion made Jiang Yan realize that the power of destiny comes from guidance rather than control.

As long as your will is not extinguished, how can your strength be truly exhausted?

The rhythmic tapping of his fingertips on the shield conveyed his disdain for Topa in a way that was unmistakable.

You come here!

However, the next moment, what Jiang Yan faced was not a spray of rainbow light, but a hard topaz fist that came towards him and hit the protective shield hard.

Even though the mini sub-space crystal wall mitigated most of the impact, the huge momentum still pushed his feet off the ground and he flew backwards rapidly.

Then, a blast of rainbow light erupted from both fists at close range. This massive, irreversible energy impact instantly knocked Jiang Yan's shield loose, leaving him wide open. His opponent was already poised for a strike.

"Please rest assured, I will apply for the highest standard of accidental injury compensation for you." The emerald gems inlaid on Topal's shoulders were now shining brightly.

"You better keep it for yourself, Miss Toppa!"

Following these words that roared from afar, the huge flaming spear slammed into Topa's shoulder like a star train!

Oops, I've been entangled by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 37: Justice Fight

When Jiang Yan was fighting with Toppa, his comrades who were worried about his safety had already decided the outcome after fighting with all their might.

Just a few rounds after the battle started, Zhang Zhang was the first to turn into a frozen pig.

Even though this magical inter-dimensional creature could create small wormholes to appear and disappear at will, the momentary pause and stiffness when performing a move was enough for Bronya to find the opponent's rhythm, use the wind-controlling bullets to pull out wind vortexes, accurately capture every landing point of the opponent, and when the opponent was not yet stable, use continuous bursts of fire to create space ripples on the opponent's body.

After his movements were restricted due to continuous attacks, under the effect of the magical six-phase ice, Zhang Zhang was quickly completely frozen. He was photographed and held in his arms by San Yue Qi, becoming a "pig hostage".

The next battle to decide the outcome was between Natasha, Xing, Xier and the old rival Swarovski.

Although Topal's "source code" can forcibly command the intelligent machine Svaro, the command "no killing" still gives the other party great room to play, no, room to slack off.

When the powerful incendiary beam and supersaturation bombardment were not aimed at the vital points, facing the star whose strength was already far greater than before, Swarlow was quickly "outmatched" and defeated by the flame spear.

Once they were defeated, Topa's direct subordinates naturally could not continue to hold on. They were quickly subdued and tied aside to become spectators.

However, just when everyone was worried that Jiang Yan would be knocked to his knees by the opponent's power and rushed over to support him, they saw this guy use a flaming kick to smash the opponent's mask in a handsome way.

So strong? Is it true?

The more people understand Jiang Yan's strength, the more surprised they are by his actual performance.

How long had he been on the path of preservation? Shouldn't he have been hiding behind a shield, stalling for time and waiting for rescue?

How weak is the opponent to be slapped in the face in public with the power of the commander?

Well, he was only handsome for three seconds. Just when San Yue Qi was holding his account and planning to take a video of Jiang Yan fighting against a powerful enemy, what he captured was only a tragic scene of his weapon being knocked away. If Xing hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid he would have become a video material.

But Topa was not feeling well either. The "power of the commander" that Jiang Yan had repeatedly reminded her of before the battle made the simple-minded Xing, who was just born, hold back at all. With the momentum of a comet falling to the ground, he pierced Topa's topaz armor with a flaming spear, nailing her in a sea of ​​fire. The powerful impact dragged her dozens of meters away, leaving a long drainage ditch on the stone ground, which stunned everyone present.

Hey, you're too straightforward! Don't kill me!

But the next moment, a sudden burst of emerald light stained the entire underground testing ground green. Countless rays of emerald light, like countless sharp blades, instantly pierced everything in their path. Even the ancient automatons awaiting Toppa's orders on either side were like rag dolls, instantly riddled with holes and shoved against the rock wall, turning into a pile of shattered parts that fell to the ground.

Xing, who was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, only had time to raise his lance and unleash a huge wall of fire before he was pushed back by the green wave in the direction of the charge. He was finally able to stabilize his body until most of the force was absorbed by two large shields that arrived in time.

Only then did everyone gain a direct understanding of the so-called "foundation" and "power of the commander" in the information shared by the immortal boat. They looked at each other and rushed forward without hesitation to join the battle.

Although I don’t know how many times the opponent can use this burst of cornerstone fragments, I must not give him another chance to attack!

Thus, rapid-fire bullets swirled with wind vortexes, mixed with cannonballs, freeze beams from floating guns, and lightning bolts from electromagnetic generators, instantly forming a powerful firepower network without sparing any effort. However, before these attacks could reach Topal, they were blocked by a sudden rise of a row of gold dust barriers.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xing immediately used his extremely powerful endurance to recover some of his strength in the blink of an eye, and pulled out a long red lotus comet tail, launching a second charge.

Even though it didn't have the indestructible power and momentum of the first time, the thick gold sand barrier was still unreasonably pierced by the flame spear, creating a big hole in it. This made Topal, who was on high alert with gems all over his body flashing with terrifying light, reappear in front of everyone.

What kind of monster is this?

Toppa never expected that the usually extremely solid gold sand barrier would be so vulnerable in front of this big girl, especially since she had just been repelled by him and was obviously in a weak state.

To make matters worse, before Topal could activate the gems to fill the barrier, an earth marrow glove had already slammed heavily on the gap in the gold sand barrier. Huge ice walls rose from the ground along both sides of the gap, completely blocking the gap that Xing had pierced, providing a window for long-range firepower and leaving the best charge channel for Jiang Yan and Xier.

Seeing that the plan of using full firepower to eliminate everyone could no longer be implemented, Topa did not hesitate to activate all the cornerstone fragments in advance. A huge stream of rainbow energy gushed out and went straight to the few people in front of the gap.

Jiang Yan had just experienced the power of this force, but he still rushed to the front without hesitation.

They have completed their mission, and it is naturally my turn next!

Without any communication, Jiang Yan swung the shield upwards without hesitation, and immediately stepped heavily on the shield with a pair of boots. He used it as a springboard and jumped high into the sky, flying into the sky like a bird.

Without time to worry about his own battle results, Jiang Yan immediately used the force of his step to raise his shield and desperately deployed the mini sub-space crystal wall. Finally, at the moment before the energy torrent arrived, he successfully opened the transparent barrier.

Jeppard and Xing are right behind him, he has to stop them even if he can't!

With this thought in mind, Jiang Yan did not consider any follow-up, and even stopped thinking about self-protection if he was hit. He just concentrated on guiding the power of protection, making the countless amber particles on the shield form a crystal point that kept flashing and moving. The light net reduced the high heat, impact force, and various strange effects brought by the energy as much as possible.

Just as his arms were being pushed back against his chest by the powerful force, and he could only use his head and knees to support himself against the shield, a savior-like voice finally rang out from the front:

"Dissipate with the butterflies!"

With Xier's rapid, precise strikes landing on the same spot, the elemental torrent Jiang Yan endured came to a halt. The neck of Topal's incredibly solid topaz armor was split open, and the gleaming sickle blade rested on Topal's fair neck, signaling the end of this intense "father-son game."

"Okay, I surrender, you win."

Oops, I've been entangled by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 38: Versatile

As Topal admitted defeat and removed his topaz armor, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Yan and Xing, who had sustained the most damage, sat down on the ground without any manners, and only stood up again after being pulled up one by one by Jeppard.

It wasn't until everyone gathered in front of Topa that they realized something was amiss. Xier still hadn't put away her sickle, and her face was extremely grim:

"Why did you deliberately lose this battle? What was your purpose?"

At the end of the battle, Xi'er had tried her best but failed to break the opponent's topaz armor. However, before she swung her scythe for the last time, the neck of the armor suddenly shattered like glass, revealing her fair neck.

How could Xier, with her immense pride, accept such a handout? If this had been a one-on-one duel, she would have sheathed her scythe and resumed her offensive. But this battle hinged on the fate of the planet, so she could only wait angrily until all her comrades had gathered and the situation was under control before finally asking this incredibly humiliating question.

However, Topa still raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said calmly:

"Purpose? My purpose from the beginning to the end is only one, to complete the task assigned to me by the company."

"As for the successful completion of the mission, or any changes to it due to various factors, it only affects my mission evaluation. On the contrary, if the matter escalates and a higher-level cadre is forced to replace me, that would be a complete failure."

"Business isn't about pride. Since we can't achieve the best outcome within the time limit, it's better for me to suffer a little loss than for both sides to lose. Isn't that right, everyone at Yalilo Six?"

Topa pointed to his portable terminal, and everyone realized that the battle had been going on for a long time without them noticing, and there was not much time left before Pierpoint held a high-level meeting.

"Hurry! Sanyue, organize the video quickly!" Everyone suddenly became anxious.

If I hadn't uploaded the video before the meeting and helped the Marketing Development Department achieve a decisive victory, God knows what kind of monsters the company would have sent.

Will the next higher-ranking cadre be as easy to talk to as Miss Topa? It's hard to say.

"Let me help Miss March. After all, I have the same goal and have recorded a lot of materials."

Facing the winners' flustered struggles, the defeated Topa quickly calmed down and enthusiastically offered assistance. With superior equipment and countless times more sophisticated techniques, he quickly left March with nothing more than chores and admiration.

"Wow! What an amazing angle, Ms. Toppa. Have you studied photography as well?"

"In the workplace, no one knows when an opportunity will hit you, or when you'll encounter an unreliable colleague. Acquire a few skills, and there will always be opportunities to use them."

"Wow! You're so fast! Ms. Topa, are all the people in the Interstellar Peace Company as powerful as you?"

"Miss March, you're too kind. Apart from anything else, Miss Jizi from the Star Train is the idol of many of our colleagues. It's a shame we didn't have the chance to meet her this time."

By the time Toppa, completely unconcerned about appearing as a villain, swiftly produced a video that was both authentic and gorgeous, and handed it off to Ester for delivery, everyone was horrified to discover that this "loser" had already seamlessly integrated into the "winners." Even Bronya, who nearly lost the planet because of her, began to view her as a trustworthy friend despite their different perspectives.

This kind of person in the workplace is too scary!

Everything is out in the open. There is no insistence except on the results. When it is time to stop loss, there is no hesitation. He does not mind using part of the profits to make good connections... It would be unfair if such people did not get promoted.

Since we have accepted the other party's huge concession, the rest of the matters will naturally be easy to discuss.

At Topa's suggestion, the debt would be paid with Nguyen Mei's credit card.

At the same time, the Interstellar Peace Company and the Black Tower Space Station will also send scientific expedition teams and reinforcements to assist Beloberg in dealing with the ice sculpture problem on the entire planet as soon as possible.

In return, Beloberg will allow Interstellar Peace Company to join the team that studies the star core and the rift with Xianzhou, and after the research is completed, the star core will be officially sold to Interstellar Peace Company at a price that is exactly the total amount of the debt, which will be used to repay Ruan Mei's credit card.

In this way, Interstellar Peace Company still got what it wanted and gained a favor from a genius.

Topa successfully extricated himself from this mess and proved his ability to solve problems.

Without losing his sovereignty or even spending any credits, Beloberg solved his big problem.

Jiang Yan did not overuse Ruan Mei's favor and became Beloberg's "miracle".

Even Xianzhou successfully obtained satisfactory compensation from the Interstellar Peace Company.

Maybe this is not the best solution for either party, but it is obvious that everyone is very satisfied now, and they fast forward to the celebration banquet, a magical celebration party where winners and losers drink and chat together.

Even more amazing was that the "loser" was even more like the star of the party than the "winners." In a short period of time, he had already secured several generous investment proposals with Bronya, Jeppard, Natasha, and Swarovski, and soon approached Jiang Yan:

"Mr. Jiang, you left a deep impression on me during this business. It's been a long time since I've met such a challenging opponent."

The other party's frank attitude and cheerful personality made it difficult for Jiang Yan, who had been very unhappy during the previous tit-for-tat, to maintain his dislike. So he raised his glass and clinked it with the other party, indicating that the past was completely over.

"Ms. Toppa, your impression of the Interstellar Peace Corporation is completely different from mine. It seems that think tanks can't be fully trusted."

Don't hit a smiling person. In fact, Jiang Yan is very satisfied with this opponent. If the props can be paid for by the opponent himself, it would be even better to arrange a few more fights.

Although he didn't know the cost of the cornerstone fragments used by the other party, Jiang Yan was very sure that he could not afford these fragments that could borrow the power of the envoy even if he sold himself.

Facing Jiang Yan's praise, Topa just shook his head:

"Haha, there's no need to doubt the think tank. After all, not to mention the company itself, even within the Strategic Investment Department, there are many people I disagree with. After all, everyone has their own working methods, and protecting the interests of the majority is the joy I derive from this job. It's just a little personal hobby, isn't it?"

After saying this, Topa suddenly changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, I have an investment in you now. I wonder if you are interested, Mr. Jiang?"

"Oh? Tell me about it." Jiang Yan looked at the smart and capable Miss Toppa with interest.

Invest in herself? This statement is quite interesting. She has no intention of starting a business, nor does she plan to run a shipping company. So what is she investing in herself? What does she want to gain?

However, Jiang Yan's calmness disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The "investment" the other party took out from the folded space was a small box;

A box filled with tiny, colorful gems;

A box containing various fragments of the "foundation" power.

At this moment, Jiang Yan finally understood why some women would still be obsessed with their jewelry boxes no matter how many times they had tasted them.

"What... do you want?" Jiang Yan suddenly felt his mouth a little dry.

"Just making friends, that's all. Don't be nervous, you're worthy." Topa confidently held the full glass and handed it over.

"Friendship cannot be bought. This is an insult to me!"

Jiang Yan wanted to scold her loudly, but he took another look at the extremely beautiful box and recalled the powerful power that the other party had released with the help of the gem.

He took the glass and drank it in one gulp.

Oops, I've been entangled by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 39: Retirement

Who would refuse a white-haired, hip-bodied, long-legged girl who gives you a large sum of friend money?

The fact that Jiang Yan didn't shout out "Rich woman, hungry, food" on the spot already meant that he had an unlimited face card in his pocket and had seen the world.

So in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yan had a close friend.

According to Topa, once he had these gems and she introduced him to Diamond to grant him the foundation stone, he would be able to wield the same level of power as her in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yan had no interest in the bestowed power, and he declined this disguised solicitation without hesitation.

Topa, who failed to recruit him, did not insist at all. Instead, he readily shared with Jiang Yan how to guide the power of these gems to study the path contained in them, as well as his understanding and development of these powers.

Maybe, as she said before, this investment is just to make friends:

"To me, strength is just one of the essential skills in the workplace. That's all I can do to help you. I believe that with your dedication to strength, it's only a matter of time before you surpass me. 'Diamond' or 'Emerald' never mind the trade of strength, so don't hesitate to introduce me when you need one!"

Faced with this expensive friendship, Jiang Yan certainly wouldn't remain silent. He had no plans to become a high-ranking official, and the only thing the other party needed him for was a fight. What was the big deal? So he happily clinked his glasses:
