However, when it comes to beautiful girls, Bai Zhi inexplicably thought of the black swan she had dreamed about before.
That dream was inexplicably "realistic." After waking up, it felt as if the scent of the black swan lingered around my nose, never fading away.
Of course, she didn't want to get close to the Black Swan; rather, she was thinking more about Huang Quan, who was also purple.
She actually prefers Huang Quan to Black Swan.
It's a pity we can't find where Huang Quan is now, otherwise I really want to take the peaches to see her.
Perhaps Huang Quan would really like the taste of this unique peach?
"So... Xiao Baizhi really isn't going to succeed Luo Fu as general?"
Fu Xuan then realized that, according to the wording of the previous edict, although Bai Zhi was appointed as a general, it did not specify which immortal ship she would be appointed as the general of.
If she understood correctly, Bai Zhi's position as a general was not a post that commanded a certain immortal ship, but rather a symbol of honor.
"Haha, Fu Qing, you really don't trust the Marshal at all?"
Jing Yuan made a joke.
"Hmph... How could I not believe the Marshal's choice? It's just that Xiao Baizhi's achievements are truly..."
She hesitated to speak. Although it was said that one usually had to start from the bottom and become familiar with many things to become a general, in her opinion, it would be easy for Bai Zhi to become that special case.
Leaving aside the importance of Angelica's own abilities to the Immortal Boat people, the Wisdom-Holding Clan, and the Fox Clan, just considering the Peach Tree alone, its contribution is immeasurable.
Moreover, her own abilities are actually more important; she can absolutely become a bridge and backbone for the three major races of the Immortal Ship.
The future of the Ming Clan's population growth rests on her shoulders, the core of the Fox Clan's suppression of the Moon Madness also lies with Bai Zhi, not to mention the Immortal Boat People, she has witnessed Bai Zhi's suppression of the Demon Yin Body many times.
All of these factors combined were enough to make the alliance abandon its usual practices and make Angelica dahurica the sole exception.
At least the Wisdom Clan and the Fox Clan absolutely support it.
She originally thought that this award was because of these background factors, which was why the marshal had specially agreed to let Bai Zhi become the Immortal Boat General of Luofu.
But now it seems the marshal had his own considerations.
Of course, more importantly, she has probably secured her future position as a general.
"Lord Taibu, rest assured, I have no interest in the position of general of Luofu. There are so many official duties for me to handle, it would be the death of me."
Bai Zhi walked to Fu Xuan's side and said with a smile.
The well-being of the people of Xianzhou is of utmost importance and cannot be taken lightly. With a population of hundreds of billions, even the slightest mistake, combined with the sheer number of people involved, would create enormous problems.
If those things could be resolved by force, that would be fine, but most things cannot be resolved by force and require coordination and planning from multiple parties.
Bai Zhi didn't want to waste her life on something like this.
Fu Xuan was speechless. What's wrong with official duties? You have to work more to realize your life's value.
If everyone were as lazy and irresponsible as Qingque, that would be terrible.
"Alright, alright, Little Angelica, the harvest over there has been quite a bit done these past two days. Now it's your turn to take charge."
"So fast?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised.
"You underestimate them, especially companies. If there are no profits or benefits, they would often rather run away. But if there are enough benefits, the resources and manpower they are willing to invest are astonishing."
“They’ve been working overtime these past few days, not letting a single hostile Fengrao person escape. Although they’re still far from completely eradicating them, they’ve managed to eliminate most of them. Look, they’re even bringing people to exchange for things.”
"I understand, they want my pills."
Bai Zhi understood perfectly well what Jing Yuan meant; these forces were simply eager for their enhanced version of the Youth Preservation Pill.
These guys definitely have the intention of taking some back first to reverse engineer and crack the code.
"Yes, that's what I was thinking too, Little Angelica. Your pills are incredibly effective. Although you developed them yourself and should be responsible for handling them, I still want to ask, is there any risk that they could be cracked?"
"If you need to protect your rights, I can also make a request to them that you must eat and digest the food on the spot before leaving."
Jing Yuan looked at Bai Zhi and asked seriously.
As a general of the Divine Strategy Army, how could he not see why these people were willing to spend such a high price to obtain this enhanced version of the Youth Preservation Pill?
Even if it could stabilize the body's condition, exchanging hundreds of thousands of wealthy people for one would still be an extremely high price.
After all, those abundant and monstrous creatures are not as fragile as ordinary humans; the difficulty of capturing or exterminating them is many times greater.
However, given its powerful effects, this item is a valuable bargaining chip in the hands of the Immortal Boat.
Whether used for trading with other forces or as a reward, it is an excellent item.
Bai Zhi waved her hand, "Relax, General, I'm not the kind of person who likes to give people freebies for no reason. I have the secret to this medicine in my hands, and I will never let them crack it."
Thinking of the Yin and Yang energies contained in the enhanced version of the Youth Preservation Pill, Bai Zhi confidently patted her chest and assured them.
It's not impossible to crack the formula and ingredients of this thing, after all, it's not some kind of absolute defense.
However, Bai Zhi suggested that these people go to the Balance Star God, as that might be more reliable.
"That's good."
Jing Yuan nodded slightly. He didn't ask Bai Zhi how confident she was in this matter, because Bai Zhi had always been able to do what she said she would do.
……
Chapter 927 The Allure of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to the Company
In a not-so-small office, a group of people filed in. Bai Zhi didn't recognize most of them, but she did recognize a few, such as Toppa.
This is the scene from the earlier exchange of pills among the people of Fengrao.
"Miss Bai Zhi... Oh no, General Bai Zhi, congratulations on assuming the position of General of Shen Du."
Upon seeing Bai Zhi, Toppa warmly approached her and shook her hand.
"Hey, how did Miss Topa know?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised; wasn't this kind of news supposed to be top secret?
"Of course I know. As one of the partners of the Immortal Ship, the Interstellar Peace Company is required to notify us of such news in advance. Otherwise, if we don't know before the inauguration ceremony, we won't be able to prepare a gift to congratulate us."
"It's just that this kind of information is blocked from ordinary people."
Toppa noticed Bai Zhi's confusion and carefully explained it to her.
"I see."
Bai Zhi nodded knowingly. Thinking about it, it made sense. It was impossible not to notify these large forces in advance of such an important event. Otherwise, it would be very awkward if they were notified in time.
"At the same time, we would also like to thank General Bai Zhi for your invitation, which allowed us to secure the order at a relatively favorable price."
"It's alright."
Bai Zhi waved her hand. She knew about this because Toppa was introduced by her. Therefore, the price for the Fengrao people to exchange for one pill was 50 people, while other forces could exchange one pill for 60 people.
Relatively speaking, Interstellar Peace Corporation benefited somewhat.
"In any case, we will always remember the general's kindness. If there is anything you need us to do, please feel free to ask, and our Interstellar Peace Company will do its best."
Toppa smiled. Although Bai Zhi said she was fine, a smart businessman wouldn't take that seriously. If someone only takes without giving anything in return, the relationship won't last.
"To be honest, I do have some ideas, and I wonder if Interstellar Peace Corporation can help me."
Bai Zhi thought about it seriously. She really wanted a lot of things about the company, and one of the most important things was under the company's control.
"Please feel free to tell us. As long as it doesn't touch on any of our Interstellar Peace Company's taboos, we will do our best to accommodate you."
Topa's eyes lit up. She wasn't afraid of Bai Zhi making demands; she was afraid that Bai Zhi wouldn't make any demands.
If the request is minor, the company will consider it a favor and a way to strengthen communication.
If the matter is significant, the company will certainly reap considerable rewards.
That's a win-win situation.
Moreover, the investment value of Angelica dahurica is much higher than that of other herbs.
In the past, Bai Zhi's position in the company would probably have been that of an ordinary hunting envoy, at most with the label of "freedom of action".
So now, Bai Zhi is praised by the company as having both a capable envoy and a strong technical team.
They have a status and rating similar to members of a talent club.
Force can protect wealth, while wisdom can generate wealth. Angelica dahurica possesses both qualities, which is exactly what the company wants.
This is the perfect investment.
If she doesn't invest in this as a member of the strategic investment department, then she might as well not be the director.
"Hmm... the Scepter System, do you know about it?"
That's right, what Bai Zhi wanted to talk to Toppa about was the scepter system created by Rupert II.
Based on the way of thinking of the erudite sage, Rupert II created a vast number of inorganic bionic neuron clusters. From microscopic particle fluctuations to macroscopic large-scale matter annihilation, the [Scepter] was spread throughout the empire's star systems, faithfully carrying out the instructions of observation, calculation, and intervention.
Under certain conditions, these celestial-scale computational interferometry devices can even briefly disrupt the physical laws within a region.
Although this thing was ultimately rendered useless and became trash in every sense of the word because the scholar Parthia spied on the thoughts of the erudite sage for 0.1 seconds.
But what is garbage to others is not to Bai Zhi.
The Scepter System, a powerful weapon created by Rupert II, is no longer comparable to the simulated universe of the Black Tower space station in terms of technology and computing power, but it is second only to the simulated universe project.
The key point is that the simulated universe cannot be used to attack people, but the scepter system can be used to attack.
This thing is way better than anything like a Star Destroyer.
All she needs to do is get her hands on this celestial computer, repair it with the power of the talisman, and she can restore its former power.
"The Scepter System...you mean those celestial computers created by Rupert II, right?"
"That's right, I'm very interested in those scepter systems. I wonder if the company can part with them?"
"This……"
Topa hesitated for a moment, not daring to give a definite answer.
She was aware of the current situation regarding the scepter system. Due to the circumstances at the time, all of these scepter systems were paralyzed overnight, and now they serve virtually no purpose other than functioning as a theme park to attract some tourists.
However, she wasn't sure if Bai Zhi had any other skills that could make use of this.
From a theme park perspective, these decommissioned astronomical computers aren't worth much money.
However, according to other algorithms, such as the possibility of recovery, this thing has a different value.
"It seems Miss Topa can't give a definite answer either. Unfortunately, I actually have a magical elixir that, while granting immense power, also grants a lifespan measured in tens of thousands of years."
Bai Zhi whispered something in Toppa's ear.
She wouldn't expect to get the scepter system back by using something like a youth-preserving pill; that's unrealistic.
The company isn't stupid either.
Since he expressed his desire for the scepter system, the company will definitely have various considerations.
If you can't offer something of sufficient weight as an incentive, it's unlikely you'll be able to reach such a deal.
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Toppa's pupils constricted, granting him immense power and a lifespan measured in tens of thousands of years...
Could this be the elixir of immortality from the Alchemy Department?
"It's not an elixir of immortality, but something I've recently developed. It doesn't utilize the power of abundance. I'm sure the company has considered that I might have even more powerful drugs on hand, right?"
Toppa opened his mouth with difficulty. It really was as Bai Zhi said, not a divine medicine made using the power of abundance, so its value was immeasurable.
She suddenly felt a little puzzled. It was strange that Bai Zhi, who had the ability to create such medicine, had not been invited into the Genius Club by the Star God of Wisdom.
"Hehe, alright, let's talk about this later. We haven't finished the exchange of the bountiful people yet, and I'm sure everyone is getting impatient."
Chapter 928 Miss Topa, Why Don't You Test the Medicine?
"General Bai Zhi, good afternoon."
"It is an honor to meet General Bai Zhi of Shendu."
Everyone rushed to greet Bai Zhi.
"Gentlemen, there's no need for formalities, please have a seat."
