The Shiting Box was not recovered. The teacher appointed by the student council president handed the ancient artifact over to another adult.

And this other adult did not come here as a 'teacher'.

"That's the 'Mr. Danrito' that Rin-sama mentioned," the curious Archon whispered to his colleagues. "He looks completely different from that teacher."

"I know, I know. You mean 'feeling', right?" the Archon's companion whispered. "There's a cold, dangerous aura... Could it be the domineering CEO persona?!"

"That kind of thing has nothing to do with us!"

Ignoring the growing volume of discussion around him, Danreto walked straight towards Rin, who had apparently noticed him coming. She adjusted her glasses and stood up from her seat. "Mr. Danreto, you're here."

"I'll take over my company." Danreto looked at the serious girl in front of him, and Rin nodded. Without further ado, she said to the girl with short blue-purple hair, "Aoi, take this Mr. Danreto with you to complete the final handover steps."

"I understand, Rin-senpai."

Standing up from the other side was a girl named Aoi, wearing the standard long skirt of a Governor's uniform. A holster held a gun, the kind every Kivotos possessed. Judging by her demeanor, this Governor Aoi seemed to be the same type of responsible and conscientious boss as Rin.

Facing Danrito's curious face, Aoi remained calm and bowed slightly to him. "Mr. Danrito, we've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's get started."

"I'm the head of the Finance Office. You can just call me 'Aoi.'" She studied the man before her, trying to discern what kind of person he was based on her experience. "We should have many opportunities to interact in the future. On behalf of the Finance Office of the Federal Council, I look forward to your active participation, Mr. Danrito."

Under Aoi's guidance, Danrito took away the seaweed and mentaiko potato chips that Momoi was eating, which made the latter complain. Then he followed her to the commercial street on the west side of the D.U district, which is closer to the Gehenna and Trinity school districts. An office building in this business district has been prepared and will become Danrito's property.

"This is your company seal. Please keep it safe. In Kivotos, it's like a 'contract.'"

After completing the final formalities, the young archon named Aoi took out a box containing the official seal engraved with the logo and name of the 'Huanmeng Group' and solemnly handed it to Danrito.

"Hey~ This is my 'company' now."

Danrito clutched the seal in his hand, peering out the floor-to-ceiling windows of the president's office. He could take in the entirety of Kivotos. It was undoubtedly one of the most scenic buildings, aside from the Central Student Union. Rin had truly put a lot of thought into selecting this 'gift'.

"Hum hum……"

Danrito folded his arms and laughed heartily: "Hahahaha!! My fantasy dream will soon dominate this world! Hahahaha!!!"

Aoi, who hadn't left yet, was even more shocked by this unexpected change in demeanor. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open in shock. Seeing this elite, strategic president one moment, transform into a wild and unruly figure the next was such a huge shift that Aoi couldn't comprehend it.

"Eh? Huh? Is this the kind of person that Rin-senpai entrusted her with?"

92. Xiu Magia: Oh my god, this is me

"Hmm, well, now it's time to turn this power into a tool for my battle."

Danrito coughed softly, and his previously unruly demeanor instantly subsided, so quickly that the startled Aoi beside him thought she'd just had some unspeakable hallucination. Danrito walked over to his seat, slumped into the swivel chair behind his desk.

Danrito's eyes had already turned into thinking mode. He looked up at Aoi and asked, "Aoi, you just said that this company has become my ownership and all power has been officially transferred to me, right?"

"Ah... yes, that's right." Aoi quickly adjusted her mindset and returned to her previous capable state. "We've assigned you a group of intelligent robots as your company employees. Don't worry, this is the norm in Kivotos. Most of our industries here rely on intelligent robots to operate. If you recruit your own employees later, you can directly replace them or reassign their positions. It's all your right."

"An intelligent robot..." Danrito seemed to be thinking back to the director of the Caesar Corporation, his enemy. After he shot an arrow through the head, he wondered if the suited robot would ever come back to life. But since it was an intelligent robot, it should be easy for it to create a new body, right?

"It's okay, I have a solution."

Aoi couldn't understand Danrito's mumbling. But since they were intelligent robots, he had a way to completely control them—the Collapse Virus. Wasn't this perfect ability a natural nemesis for these intelligent robots?

The intelligent robots living in Kivotos are truly too intelligent, or perhaps even too "human." Many works explore the question of "what if artificial intelligence had a personality?" In the world of certain knights, the question becomes a matter of right and wrong, but here, these intelligent robots possess this very commonplace quality—rather than intelligent robots, they are more like humans in a robot shell.

However, since they were robots, they were naturally susceptible to computer viruses. Perhaps there weren't any viruses in this world powerful enough to directly infect the bodies of these intelligent robots, but now, a powerful computer virus cluster had descended upon Kivotos.

"I've always had some doubts about the electronic protection capabilities of the Kivotos."

Dan Lidou snapped his fingers, and the Collapse Virus spread through his body, quickly planting a 'backdoor' in every Dreamworks employee's robot. This served as both a surveillance virus and a switch that could directly control these robots at a critical moment. Dan Lidou was quite satisfied with these robot workers.

In the previous world, his employees were all living people, and it was too difficult to guess people's hearts. Now these robots are so easy to control, and they are a perfect match for the virus in his body!

"Electronic protection? I'm not sure why you're asking that." Aoi pondered Danrito's words, but clearly didn't fully grasp their meaning. She explained, "Eighty percent of Kivotos' computer protection systems are sold by Millennium Academy's Ministry of Truth. The system protection used by the Federation Council is a specially customized version. If you're worried about electronic attacks, I can also apply for an additional firewall system for you."

"No, it's okay. I'm very familiar with the Ministry of Truth." Dan Lidou smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, there's nothing else for you to do here for the time being, you can leave."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Aoi bowed slightly and turned to leave the Dream Company. Shortly afterwards, the four people from Convenience House 68, who had previously signed the "sale contract," were summoned by Danrito's call.

"Before you go in, Lu, can you wipe your saliva?"

The four people from the convenience store stood in the elevator. Kayoko looked speechlessly at Alu, who was stunned by the size of the company. The corners of her mouth were drooling unconsciously because her brain was not able to react and she was empty-minded.

"Ah! I was accidentally stunned!"

Ah Lu suddenly realized what was happening and quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. When she'd received a call from Dan Lidou telling them to move their office to this location, Ah Lu had thought he was joking. The address Dan Lidou had given them was a busy commercial street in the D.U District. It was one of the busiest streets in Kivotos, with numerous businesses concentrated there. It was also close to the two university districts of Gehenna and Trinity, making it a highly trafficked street.

In the past, the bounty commissions Alu and her colleagues earned in a year were probably enough to rent a ten-square-meter space on this street, and that was outside the business district. Now they can actually move their office directly to this street?

"Haha, it's really Alu-style daze." Mutsuki standing nearby grumbled with a smile. He didn't look like he was fighting with Danri before, and it seemed that he had already put that incident behind him. "This kind of completely thoughtless look is also Alu's charm~"

"Why do I feel like you're not praising me, Mutsuki..." Alu looked at Mutsuki in confusion, and Haruka beside her quickly encouraged her: "It's okay! I will follow such a lady like Alu to the end!"

"Ah..." Kayoko said like a worried old woman: "The elevator is about to arrive, everyone, please calm down. Even you, Lu, why is your collar so crooked?"

Reaching out to straighten Alu's collar, the elevator before them reached the highest floor. Kayoko was the first to exit, followed by the other three. A sliding glass door opposite the elevator opened automatically, revealing Danrito sitting behind a large solid wood desk in the president's office.

"Hmm... I feel like he has the aura of a behind-the-scenes boss..."

"Alu, just say less..."

Kayoko, who was standing at the front, calmed herself down and walked towards Danrito.

"All staff of Convenience House 68 have arrived, awaiting your dispatch," Kayoko said softly. "Or should we say... non-staff members of the Special Affairs Processing Department of the Dream Group? Boss, please tell me what to do."

"Like to get straight to the point? Fine."

Dan Lidou smiled and said, "You probably don't have a good impression of me, do you? After all, I was the one who forced you to sign the contract to sell your bodies, so it's normal that you don't have a good attitude."

93. Do you know the story of 'Night of the Nile'?

"Like to get straight to the point? Fine."

Dan Lidou smiled and said, "You probably don't have a good impression of me, do you? After all, I was the one who forced you to sign the contract to sell your bodies, so it's normal that you don't have a good attitude."

"It's obviously impossible to say I'm not dissatisfied." Kayoko's face remained calm. "But this is the rule of our business. Since Alu said she wanted to be a gangster, if you're defeated, you become his subordinate. Naturally, you have to accept the law of the jungle."

Mutsuki on the side laughed and said, "If we defeat you, you will have to serve us~"

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Tan Lidou laughed. "I called you here today to inform you that you can move your office to the second floor of this building. It's specially designated for you."

"Why did you specifically come to us to talk about this?" Kayoko frowned. "This kind of thing, you can just talk about it over the phone, right? Besides, this is completely unnecessary expense for you, right?"

Originally, the contract Danrito and Kayoko had signed was an unequal "selling out" contract, with no base salary, years of forced employment, and on-call work with potentially no holidays. This contract was the "price" everyone at the convenience house paid for their failure. Even ignoring the employee benefits outlined in the contract was perfectly acceptable. But Danrito, now in front of them, seemed to genuinely treat that contract as a contract to be fulfilled, and he even solemnly began preparing the new office he had promised them.

"Humph! Huanmeng Group is mine! Huanmeng's employees are my property!" Tan Lidou said this as a matter of course: "If we want to improve the efficiency of our employees, then we must give them everything we need, right?"

"In games, completing challenges always brings rewards, challenging powerful enemies always brings supplies, and challenging levels always have corresponding incentives. The science of reward and punishment mechanisms is profound—gaming is a sophisticated art form."

Danreto's words were incoherent, but Kayoko understood, as did Mutsuki beside her. Haruka and Aru only partially grasped them. Danreto's attitude towards Convenience House 68 wasn't that of captives or slaves, but rather that of employees. Even with the simple contract, he'd included a host of employee benefits.

"You... I can't see through you at all..." Kayoko was stunned for a long moment before turning her head away. "What a weird adult you are."

"Got it? Then get ready to move the studio." Danrito tossed Kayoko a bunch of keys. "This is the key to the innermost room on the second floor. You can use it if you want, but if I can't find you when I call you, I'm going to give you a good beating!"

QQ: 8 14 9 0 37 98

Kayoko led the others away. As they entered the elevator, before the doors closed, Danrito overheard Aru discussing the so-called "evil spirit" she'd sensed in him, seemingly intent on using this as a path to further refine her "one evil a day" strategy...

Ok……

As long as Alu is happy.

Now that the Huanmeng Group was ready to begin operations, it was obvious what its signature product would be. Huanmeng, a company founded on gaming, naturally had its flagship product, the "Game Converter" cartridge. After relocating the server data to the company's computer room, Dan Lidou needed to prepare the production line for the game cartridges.

"Ordinary game cartridges don't require mysterious materials to synthesize, so ordinary stock will suffice—the main thing is to import the game data. However, it seems that a specialized production line needs to be customized..."

Danrito sent an order request to Aoi, but after thinking it over, he withdrew the message: "Why bother with this? I can just go directly to the director of the Millennium Engineering Department to place an order later."

The work required confidentiality and was of limited quantity, so it shouldn't be a problem for Millennium Academy's engineering department to handle it. The most important thing about Danrito's game cartridges was naturally the game data contained within. Previously, for some inexplicable reason, Danrito's copy of "God's Limit X" seemed to be able to be transferred.

Although the billion powers that could now escape his body were only enough for Danrito to create the phantom of the "God's Limit X" cartridge, that was simply because the "God's Limit X" cartridge was too powerful. Even if the barrier was loosened, it could only release so much. However, cartridges below "God's Limit X", especially those below level 10, could be easily created by Danrito.

Thinking of this, Dan Lidou placed an order for some materials with mysterious properties. Now he has 10 million credit points in his hand. Although it is not too much, it is still a huge sum of money. The mysterious materials that he had been lacking before can now be purchased freely.

"Use these mysterious materials to recreate all ten games that make up Kamen Rider Chronicles!"

Remastering is a classic way to rehash old games, and it's a must-try. Even if a brand-new cartridge is available, wouldn't the old data still be usable? Just update the data, incorporate some world-specific material, and you'll have a new, localized game cartridge!

After handling all matters, big and small, and ensuring the company's future direction, Danrito left the company at night. However, the number of people in this business district had only decreased slightly. The number of students from Trinity had decreased significantly, but the number of students from Gehenna had clearly increased.

"Um, do you know the urban legend that's been popular lately..."

Near Danrito, two of Gehenna's students seemed to be discussing something interesting. Their voices weren't loud, but they were perfectly within Danrito's earshot.

"You mean... the 'paranormal activity' that occurred in that abandoned amusement park?"

Danrito paused. Although he didn't look at the two students, he had heard every word of their conversation. As if unaware of being eavesdropped, the two Gehenna students, clutching crepes, continued their small talk.

"Yeah, yeah! Even though the power has been out for ages, the rides start moving on their own at night. I even heard that a paranormal enthusiast went missing while exploring the ruins!"

"very scary……"

The two students seemed to be skeptical about the topic, so they kept quiet after a brief discussion. However, Danrito's interest was clearly piqued.

"A ruined amusement park that could cause students to disappear... It's worth a visit. I'll ask Rin and the others if they know about this amusement park later."

94. Trip to the abandoned amusement park at night

"Mr. Danrito? You're calling me so late, is there something wrong?"

Even the Central Student Union has off-duty hours, but even then, there are always enough staff to handle the situation. This ensures there's always someone on duty at the Central Student Union 24 hours a day.

It was Rin's turn to get off work. She was in a nearby corner shop, carefully comparing two pens. Although they looked nearly identical, the attentive Rin was still carefully distinguishing the subtle differences.

"There is indeed something going on, because I heard some very interesting rumors." Dan Lidou said on the phone, "It is said that there is an abandoned playground in Kivotos where paranormal phenomena have occurred, and even students have disappeared. Does the Central Student Union know about this?"

"If that's the case, we do have relevant intelligence."

Even while answering the phone, Rin maintained a serious expression. She put down the pen she was selecting, pushed up her glasses, and spoke to Danrito on the other end of the line, "In Kivotos, the abandoned amusement park where the paranormal activity occurred is the ruins of what we now call Slampia. It was a theme park built and invested in by the Momo Group, originally called Utopia. However, due to poor management, it's now completely abandoned."

"Rumors of missing students have only begun to circulate in the past few months. It seems that some students interested in the paranormal discovered something unusual while exploring the ruins. However, the details are still unknown."

At this point, Rin confided somewhat awkwardly, "Ever since the student council president disappeared, the efficiency of the Federation Council has dropped significantly, resulting in staff shortages everywhere. It's precisely because of this that the exploration of the Slampia ruins has been repeatedly delayed until now."

"If, Mr. Danrito, you have the idea of ​​exploring the ruins of Slampia, the Central Student Council would be very grateful to you."

"Goodness, the entire Federal Council is going nowhere without that Student Council President, right?" Even five-star General MacArthur... no, even Danrito commented: "One look and he's confirmed the Student Council President is Superman Kivotos."

"...I don't understand what you're talking about, but perhaps, as you said, the student council president is truly a superman."

The fact that she could receive such an evaluation from the serious Rin was enough to prove that the student council president, whom she had never met before, was indeed as capable as Rin said, so much so that she could still receive the evaluation of "superman".

"Is she really that powerful?" Tan Lidou wondered. "Then why doesn't she come out and take charge of this mess at Kivotos?"

"It's because the student council president is missing that Kivotos is in trouble everywhere!"

"Then ask your student council president for help!"

Rin, who had already walked out of the stationery store and turned to a deserted corner to answer the phone, couldn't help but frown. She held her forehead and said, "...I feel like if I continue talking about this, it will become an endless loop, so let's end this topic here."

"Let's get back to the topic. If you're going to investigate the ruins of Slampia, I suggest you find some strong students to go with you. They can also protect your safety to a certain extent. After all, you are now an indispensable figure to the Central Student Union."

What Rin said was true. The student council president was currently missing and the teacher had also left. So the only person left who could use the Shitei Box so far was undoubtedly Danrito in front of him.

The Shiting Box plays an irreplaceable role in the current Central Student Union. All permissions in the Tower of Xialai are controlled by the Shiting Box, and the super AI stored in the Shiting Box is also the key to handling many matters. In addition, some of the student union president's authority is also used by this tablet. If the Shiting Box is lost, the Central Student Union will probably fall into the same predicament as before.

After receiving the address of the ruined amusement park, Danrito followed the map software's instructions, quickly traveling through the network. As he neared his destination, the long-abandoned ruins of Slampia had been without water and electricity for a long time, so naturally there was no network access for Danrito to continue deeper. This meant that if he wanted to enter the amusement park, he would have to start from here on foot.

"This location is really quite remote..."

Danrito looked around. There wasn't a single light or house in sight around this long-abandoned playground. Even the nearest school district was kilometers away. From here, the only light visible was from the tallest building on the outskirts of Trinity College. Here, the entire area had been abandoned as its residents had moved away.

"It looks like the student union has also taken some measures to manage this area, and has asked all the residents in this area to evacuate?"

In addition to the haunted amusement park in the center of the Slampia ruins, there are also some abandoned residential buildings and streets around it that are quite close to the amusement park, which adds a bit of horror atmosphere to the haunted amusement park.

Those who bought houses near such an amusement park would never have imagined in their wildest dreams that the house prices, which were supposed to be rising rapidly, would become worthless after the amusement park became haunted. I guess when they were ordered to move out, these people must have cried like a tearful person.
