Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

Amidst everyone's curiosity and anticipation, Sambo made a dazzling entrance in the banquet hall, blinding the eyes of all the Beloberg natives.

"It's you?"

"Sambo?"

"how is this possible?"

Sambo is not an unknown figure in Beloberg. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as "notorious".

"Antique dealer from the lower town," "Beloberg snowfield savage," "famous blue-haired con man," "connected profiteer," these countless labels gave the impression of him to all the people of Beloberg a very uniform one:

——It’s okay to ask him for help, but if anyone wants to be friends with him, they will be making things difficult for themselves.

But who could have imagined that this guy was actually a powerful Masked Fool?

"You guys, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Shiluwa was the first to lose control of her emotions and walked over with her knuckles pinched.

Unlike others, she never considered family background when making friends, and for a while, she had a very good relationship with Sambo. Even though their friendship had long since broken down, how could Shiluwa accept such a complete deception?

At this moment, the electric arcs in her hands were flashing wildly. She wished she could catch Sambo and electrocute him immediately, filter out some lies, and then ask him about what happened that year.

Although Sambo did not ask for his mask back at this time, he also put on a new mask of pain.

Where are the “friends” you promised me?

Who could possibly stand up to such a "few friends"? They had almost caught all the bigwigs in the upper and lower districts of Belloberg, right?

How can I continue to deceive people in Beloberg in the future... no, continue to make deals that suit people's wishes and needs?

There was no other way, so Sangbo had to look at Jiang Yan, who had pushed him into the fire pit, with a look of help, his eyes full of "I am still useful, give me a hand, brother!"

Feeling the gaze, Jiang Yan very "understandingly" stopped Xiluwa and started to introduce:

"This is Mr. Sambo, the masked fool who hides his true identity, the 'good-hearted man' who wants to save Beloberg from the Antimatter Army."

Just when Sangbo was about to follow Jiang Yan's words to clear his name, he found that Jiang Yan did not give him any chance to speak, but continued to do something cruel that he could not even dream of:

"Mr. Sambo, since you promised to teach me how to walk the path of happiness, and now there is an opportunity, I would like to trouble you."

"Now, more than half of the frozen antimatter army has been wiped out by the Lord of Joy. But whether one or ten thousand virtual soldiers deliver the message to Xingxiao is of no consequence. So, to thank the Lord of Joy for the miracle he performed on Yalilo VI, we will hold the 'Aha Cup Dark Duel Invitational Tournament' and dedicate all the farce and fun of this event to the great Lord of Joy."

"The success of the Ether Front Tournament is inseparable from the tacit cooperation between you and Mr. Giovanni. Therefore, how to create greater fun to please the Lord of Pleasure and continue to bless this planet is entirely up to you! Whether you plan to compete yourself or invite your brothers and sisters in the tavern to compete together, we fully support you!"

Oops, I've been entangled by a fool! : Chapter 146 Strategic Investment

Aha Cup? Masked Fool Rumble? This is too "joyful"! Is this guy really not afraid of destroying the planet?

Sang Bo turned pale when he heard Jiang Yan's cruel words.

Unlike other fateful travelers, Masked Fools may drink and chat in the tavern like brothers and sisters, but in reality, Fools rarely get together unless they have great fun, and they will even deliberately keep their distance from each other.

There are as many kinds of "joyful" aesthetics as there are fools, so there are very few fools who can get along with each other and cooperate to enjoy the same fun. Instead, most of them will start a showdown because "heretics are more hateful than pagans."

Although the Fool never cares about winning or losing, as long as they can have enough fun, even becoming enemies is not a big deal. The Lord of Pleasure will just watch the show.

But it’s not just other forces that have a headache when they see the Fool, the Fool himself does too!

The Masked Fool, whose talents are all focused on escaping and escaping, will inevitably end in a civil war, unless the opponent's strength is completely overwhelming. If they force the fight, they will end up attacking the people and things that the other party cares about, resulting in a huge loss for both parties.

As this happened so often, the Fools developed certain established customs: except for the "tavern," blessed by the gods, where nothing was forbidden, Fools were required to respect each other's territory and play. Newcomers were required to greet the host to show respect and avoid misunderstandings. For example, Giovanni arrived at Jarillo 6 after accepting Sambo's invitation and began the "game" with him.

Of course, "following habits" is not something that the Masked Fool can do at all. The Masked Fool can hardly follow the rules he sets in the next second, let alone "habits". There are many people who act unscrupulously and are a headache for them. Even if the fist is big enough, it will only make them more eager to try.

So, facing Jiang Yan's ruthless plan to send invitations to all Fools, Sambo could imagine the chaotic and chaotic scene that would unfold. Attracting the gods' blessing might not be a problem. Based on Sambo's understanding of Aha, he might even be excited to increase his position directly, offering a large amount of power as a surprise prize, to make everyone play more passionately and enhance the show.

I have the coke, but what about my own gaming experience?

Who would like a "Fool's Party" battle royale game where your head is everyone's signpost and gathering point?

Sambo really wanted to reject this obvious trap on the spot, but after thinking about it carefully, he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

This can't be refused...

Sang Bo knew very well that, as Jiang Yan said, it made no difference whether one virtual soldier or ten thousand virtual soldiers delivered the message to Xing Xiao.

The reason why the Lord of Pleasure did not solve the catastrophe of Yarilo No. 6 once and for all was certainly not because of lack of ability, but simply because he did not have enough fun.

In Sambo's eyes, this half of the Void Pawn's Ether Spirit was almost a clear oracle given to him by the gods:

"That's great, but it's not enough. I've already given you the advance payment, and the balance depends on your subsequent performance."

However, for this half of fun, Sambo has already paid a huge favor to Giovanni and his own mask. How can he get better fun?

Alas, if I can’t be the one who makes fun of me, I can only become the fun myself. Is this the curse of the Dark Duel?

With no other choice but to accept the appointment Jiang Yan had thrust upon him, even as others looked on with gloating delight, Sambo became the host of the Aha Cup Dark Duel Invitational Tournament. With this crucial issue resolved, and after a joyful celebration, it was finally time for everyone who had gathered for the Dark Duel Tournament to part ways.

As soon as the celebration banquet ended, Sha Jin and Topa hurriedly said goodbye to everyone.

As executives of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, their daily schedules are calculated by the minute. It is a rare blessing to be able to spend a thrilling but uneasy time on Yalilo No. 6 without any worries or trivialities.

Before getting on the bus and leaving, Topa handed Jiang Yan another colorful jewelry box and said with a smile:

"This long vacation is entirely thanks to your kindness. Please accept this 'friend's fee'."

"Don't worry, it's the PR fee from the department! My big client!"

Feeling that the quality of the "friend fee" was no less than that of the last time, Jiang Yan sighed deeply, resisted the temptation, and returned the box to Topa:

"Your friend has reached the maximum level, no need to practice!"

"As for your department, forget it. I have no interest in working there."

If it were simply Topal's generosity, Jiang Yan certainly wouldn't refuse. This kind of foundational fragment that so intuitively manifested the power of preservation into various forms—other than through Diamond, the generous and generous Messenger who didn't mind sharing his power—Jiang Yan couldn't think of any other place to obtain such a valuable reference for the use of the power of preservation, a "streetlight" or "beacon."

But if the one paying the "friend fee" is the entire strategic investment department, it would be a different matter.

Even if Yukong and Jingyuan allowed it, Jiang Yan was not interested in working for the Interstellar Peace Company.

Facing Jiang Yan's decisive refusal, Topaz didn't hesitate at all. Instead, he simply put the box back and took out a few small topaz stones and stuffed them into Jiang Yan's hand.

"I knew you'd refuse, but in the workplace, you have to follow the necessary procedures. Otherwise, if Sha Jin complains to me, I'll definitely be criticized."

"If you don't want theirs, then this is all I have. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have these. Strength is just a necessary skill for me in the workplace. I can't compare to Opal and Long Jing..."

Facing Topa's explanation, Jiang Yan said indifferently:

"They are not my friends. Why would I bother looking for them if I don't use my friends' power as a reference?"

This attitude made Topa smile happily, and he said cheerfully:

"It seems this strategic investment might be the one with the highest return I've ever made. In a year or two, I'll probably learn the art of preservation from you. But before that, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"

"Don't worry, I won't be polite!" Jiang Yan also agreed very readily, waved his hand and sent Topa into the car.

And Sha Jin, who had been waiting on the side, also came over and said to Jiang Yan:

"I'll need my stone soon, so I won't give it to you."

"But my friend, I want to give you a suggestion, that is to join the company."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yan didn't think Sha Jin was such a poor lobbyist.

"Do you believe in the company's slogan, 'Everything for the Amber King'?"

Gold Dust suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

Jiang Yan thought for a while and then replied:

"Not entirely convinced."

To say that the Interstellar Peace Company believed in the Amber King with all due selflessness would be absurd. But the Amber King truly resided above Pierpoint, and the Interstellar Peace Company had forged and consolidated itself into an infinitely expanding behemoth through the ages with this slogan. Even magic spells couldn't have worked so well, and to say it was just an empty slogan was simply unbelievable.

Seeing Jiang Yan was in doubt, Sha Jin said firmly:

"I've met almost all the directors, I believe them!"

"'All for the Amber King' is more than just a slogan for the company. It's the company's voice, its will, its actions. Ultimately, it's just the different interpretations of this phrase by a few directors and departments."

"So, what do you want to say?" Jiang Yan had a bold guess, but he didn't dare to believe it.

"The Amber King has never responded to mortals like us. If you, who have been given his gaze, join the company, your starting point and your end point will be completely different from ours. What's impossible about one day making a department, or even an entire company, act according to your will?"

"How about it? Are you interested in joining the company and accepting the 'strategic investment' from me and Topa? We will use all our resources to fully support you in mastering the art of preservation, until you can go further than the other envoys."

Good god! This guy actually wants to directly form a group to usurp the throne?

Even Jiang Yan, who was so good at doing cruel things, was shocked by Sha Jin's shocking cruelty and ambition.

Even among the "Stone Heart Ten", this guy was only at the bottom, but he actually jumped several levels and had his eyes on the positions of board director or even two chairmen?

This cake is so big that half of the Milky Way can’t fit in it!

However, Jiang Yan had to admit that the madman Sha Jin's gamble was indeed reasonable, and it accurately hit the biggest contradiction of the Interstellar Peace Company: everything was dedicated to the Amber King, but the Amber King never responded.

The Interstellar Peace Company has no shortage of messengers, but no one has ever been able to represent the Amber King's will in the slightest, and naturally no one can command others.

If at this time, an envoy appeared who could make the Amber King tend to bless him, it would be easy for him to rise to the top. After all, "everything is dedicated to the Amber King" has long become the legal principle and core cohesion on which the Interstellar Peace Company relies. No one can disobey it, otherwise the company, this galactic behemoth, will immediately collapse.

However, if this road is so easy to walk, how can it be my turn? Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask:

"How many Commanders have the Interstellar Peace Company produced since the days of the support team? Where does your confidence in me come from?"

Facing Jiang Yan's question, Sha Jin replied as a matter of course:

"Confidence? Who would have confidence in something like this? Of course I'm taking a gamble! Even if it doesn't work out, I've still done a great job by bringing you into the company."

"Besides, with your talent, even if you don't become an envoy, you will eventually become a big shot. Why would you hesitate to make an investment in advance?"

Okay...it turns out you're gambling with me.

This extremely frank explanation actually made Jiang Yan feel a lot more at ease.

It turns out that it’s not about banding together to rebel, but about investing in advance.

But can I afford the gamble?

If it succeeds, everything will be fine. But if it fails, how can I refuse to resign after receiving the vast resources and help from the gold dust and Topa? Wouldn't that mean I'll be tied down for life?

Jiang Yan shook his head and said:

"I don't think I have to join a company to become a guardian. At least I want to try it as a freelancer first."

Seeing that Jiang Yan's attitude had softened, Sha Jin did not press on and instead said casually:

"Of course, my friend, there's no need to rush into a decision. After all, even if you do make a decision, I won't be able to make a substantive response until Pinocchio's case is resolved."

"Before that, you have plenty of time to think and prepare. I look forward to hearing from you. See you at Pinocchio!"

After saying that, Sha Jin waved his hand casually, opened the car door, got in the car, and drove straight to the airport with Topa, leaving only the huge temptation and troubles to Jiang Yan.

"Are you serious?" Topa asked in surprise in the car.

Although he was promoted at a rocket speed, Topa surprisingly did not have much ambition in his career.

For her, a promotion is just a help to better realize her ideals. She never thought that there would be such a ruthless job as gold dust that directly targets the highest seat?

At this moment, Topa looked at Shajin as if he was looking at a madman.

In the workplace, whether it was teaming up or allocating resources, it was a gamble of choosing a team. If you chose the wrong side, everyone would be doomed together. How could it be as easy as the so-called "pre-investment" he explained to Jiang Yan?

"Of course! If he can maintain this magical state, I will start this gamble after Pinocchio returns."

Shajin fiddled with the souvenir of the Ether Front Competition in his hand - an Ether coin, and said with a relaxed expression.

"The people of Xianzhou will not let you go. They have both the power and the path, and they also have patience and vision." Toppa shook his head and said.

Inviting someone to join was something she, who had a closer relationship with him, should have been the one to do. However, the more she got to know Jiang Yan, the less interested she became. After all, compared to the Immortal Boat, the Interstellar Peace Company's leverage was far from impressive.

"Would you like to make a bet? Xianzhou can't satisfy our greedy friend. He doesn't need to care about what Xianzhou can give him. Just think about what we can give him." Shajin gently flicked the ether coin as if it were a chip.

"We? When did I agree to join?" Topa asked in surprise.

"When you reach P45, the path up will already be full," Gold Sand responded calmly, only the fire of ambition burning in his eyes.

"Now, I solemnly invite you, would you like to make additional investments?"

"Okay, you gambler. But let me make it clear, I won't betray Diamond."

Topa sighed, and because he was optimistic about Jiang Yan, he chose to raise the bet without hesitation.

Of course, she knew Jiang Yan better than Sha Jin did. The reason she was a step slower was simply because of her ambition.

"Of course, neither will I. As you said, this strategic investment may be the one with the highest return on our investment. We just need to patiently make additional investments and wait for the returns."
