The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"But seriously, why are you asking this? I remember you've always been interested in stars, so why do you suddenly want to know about angelica now?"

"Oh, you don't need to worry about it, just tell me."

Liu Ying pursed her lips. She couldn't very well say that she really liked the feeling Bai Zhi gave her. If Yin Lang found out, she wondered what he would say about her.

Silver Wolf gave Firefly a strange look, but did not refuse to explain.

"That guy? It's simple. He likes pretty girls. If you want to do something, I suggest you just go for it."

Fireflies:?

"Is there a problem? Isn't it the same as Hoshi? They both like pretty girls. Oh, no, Hoshi also likes trash cans."

"Don't look so disbelieving, okay? That's just how it is."

"Okay... well..."

Seeing Silver Wolf's serious explanation, Firefly reluctantly believed it.

"Is there something hard to accept about this? Who doesn't like handsome men and beautiful women? Isn't that human nature? If you don't like pretty people, are you going to specifically look for ugly ones?"

Silver Wolf shrugged, somewhat bewildered. "It's like how people don't like the ugly games that certain game studios deliberately create."

Liu Ying paused for a moment. Although what Yin Lang said was very abstract, upon closer reflection, it seemed to make sense.

Liking pretty girls isn't illegal.

"Hey, speaking of ugly games, I have to teach these guys a lesson. They even said that starfish lives matter, that we need diverse aesthetics, and that we should increase the appearance rate of starfish. Today I'm going to hack into the servers of these ugly games."

"So that these guys won't pollute my eyes by putting these things on the game store all day long."

Firefly didn't care about Silver Wolf's rambling; she was currently thinking about how to stay by Bai Zhi's side for an extended period of time.

Chapter 622 Negotiations with Topa

"Topa, Miss Robin and Mr. Sunday, welcome to the Dimensional Nexus."

"It's a beautiful planet, completely different from the style of the Daydream Hotel. Thank you for accepting me."

On Sunday, he looked around and seemed quite satisfied with the environment. After spending so much time in the glitz and glamour of Pinocchio, he felt that this tourist planet was a good alternative.

“I admire Mr. Sunday’s ideals, and now, this planet is also under the influence of the forces of order. I believe you will definitely gain more insights here.”

"And now, Mr. Sunday, the arrangements for Miss Robin's concert are in your hands."

"I?"

I don't know why, but I felt uneasy on Sunday.

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "That's right. As the former Order Envoy, you should shoulder a greater responsibility for this planet shrouded in order. Come, guide the future of this planet."

Standing to the side, Topa smiled without saying a word. Having been in management for so many years, how could she not see that Bai Zhi was just making empty promises? What she meant by taking on greater responsibilities was simply a way of wanting to be a hands-off manager.

Sunday frowned slightly. He could indeed feel the omnipresent power of order enveloping the planet, delivering a thunderous blow to anyone who dared to disrupt it.

"Am I really sure I'm okay to take on such a big responsibility right after arriving here?"

On Sunday, he couldn't help but ask. He had originally thought that Bai Zhi had sent him here so that he could start from the bottom.

For example, he could go back to his old profession as a priest.

But Bai Zhi's words sound more like she's going to become a senior executive.

For some reason, I always have a feeling of being cheated on Sundays.

However, the omnipresent power of order here made it impossible for him to refuse Bai Zhi's idea.

He genuinely wanted to see just how much power this planet, which possessed abilities similar to Pinocchio, could unleash under Bai Zhi's control.

Isn't a world that follows the rules, yet allows anything not explicitly prohibited by law, more deserving of the title "Land of Dreams"?

"I think there's no need to doubt the management skills of the head of the Oak family, after all, Pinocchio is a financial hub in the universe."

"If Ms. Baizhi needs management talent, the company can actually provide some."

Topa interjected, “Our Interstellar Peace Company has long provided the outside world with experienced talents in various fields, from scientific research to management, we have them all.”

"Let's forget about the company's experienced talents for now, unless it's someone like Toppa."

Bai Zhi wiped her sweat. Those people were called mature talents, but to put it bluntly, they were just old hands who had been "optimized out." They were good at using industry jargon, but in reality, they were completely useless.

"Haha, although Miss Baizhi's company is thriving, I have no intention of leaving the company for the time being. However, as long as Miss Baizhi needs it, our company is willing to do everything we can to help."

"But aside from that... Miss Baizhi, perhaps we can talk business."

Toppa's smile faded, and he became serious. "Regarding the Pinocchio situation, I believe Miss Baizhi is already well aware of the details. It seems you intend to protect Mr. Sunday, is that right?"

"You could say that, but, Toppa, Sunday isn't the point, is it?"

Bai Zhi glanced at the brother and sister who had become somewhat nervous and said calmly.

Since Toppa brought this up first, Bai Zhi guessed that the other party would most likely use the truth of this matter as a bargaining chip to get Sunday out. It would definitely not work without paying something.

Toppa nodded slightly. "That's not the point. Who incarnated as God Sunday is not important. What's important is that such a thing happened in Pinocchio, which will cause a crisis of trust among the public."

Toppa confirmed Bai Zhi's statement, but she immediately changed the subject:

"However, as the head of the Oak family and the actual manager of Pinocone, Mr. Sunday, as the protagonist of the trust crisis, can still try to suppress the value of Pinocone."

Toppa spoke quickly and concisely, the subtext being that Sunday still had value and should be exchanged for benefits and goods.

After carefully understanding Toppa's explanation, Bai Zhi nodded slightly and then offered another suggestion:

"Why can't Mr. Sunday, the manager of Pinocchio, be more optimistic about Dimensional Hub, resign from his position, and come to me as an executive?"

"The fact that even the managers of Pinocone have come to me shows that their own senior executives do not have a high opinion of Pinocone. Doesn't that suppress the value of Pinocone itself?"

Toppa paused for a moment, then laughed, "Miss Baizhi, you are very smart and have a great talent for business."

Bai Zhi shrugged. "There's no way around it. There are too many people in my family who need to eat and drink. Without some business acumen and talent, I can't support so many people."

"What does Toppa think of what I'm saying?"

"I believe this reason will convince my superiors. I apologize, Ms. Bai Zhi, for my slight offense."

"The work is done," Topa said with a slight apology.

The company's purpose in coming here is to establish influence in Pinocene and acquire a suitable stake. She didn't want to talk to Bai Zhi like this, but she had to.

Bai Zhi shook her head. "It's okay. I quite like you like this. You're focused on business, which is the demeanor of a qualified businessman."

Although Toppa, as the director of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, had a good relationship with him, as an employee, he still had to fulfill his duties, which was beyond question.

The handling of the debts owed by Yalilo 6 was enough to demote Toppa by one level, not to mention the huge interests of Pinocone, which Toppa simply cannot erase on his own. He must come up with a feasible plan to implement it.

If Topa doesn't take any action, that would be highly unscientific and completely disrespectful to the other party's professionalism. The higher-ups at Interstellar Peace Corporation would most likely not approve of such a result.

Moreover, Bai Zhi was certain that Toppa would have room to object to her suggestion, but he probably didn't say so out of consideration for their relationship.

As long as you can find a suitable reason to take it back and hand it over, that's fine.

In any case, she didn't lose a single penny; only Pinocchio suffered the loss.

Pinocone, in a sense, is now a competitor of Dimensional Hub.

She's overjoyed that her competitor has been weakened; she'd never speak up for them.

Chapter 623 Old Yang: The Collapse is Still Chasing Me

"Uncle Yang, it's been a long time."

After talking about Sunday Robin and Toppa, Bai Zhi finally turned her attention to Old Yang.

"It hasn't been that long, but Little Angelica, your growth has truly amazed me."

Old Yang sighed. He still remembered that when he first met Bai Zhi, she was just a little girl from the Wisdom Clan who had been mistakenly sent to the Black Tower Space Station.

Not long after, he had become the Dragon Lord and Deputy General of Luofu, and had established these seemingly enormous capital groups.

"Everyone in the train crew has grown up very quickly. Take Xing, for example. He must have embarked on four different paths by now: exploration, destruction, preservation, and cooperation. It feels like he has gone through more than I have."

"Yes, that child is indeed very talented. She has also contributed a lot to the train crew's journey."

"But Little Angelica, are you still standing here? Are you preparing to greet someone else?"

Noticing that all the nearby guests had already entered the hotel, Lao Yang asked with some concern.

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, would you like to see some old acquaintances from Earth?"

Old Yang was stunned for a moment, "Could it be..."

The entire train crew witnessed Bai Zhi's miraculous abilities. If Bai Zhi suddenly said she could summon people from her own world, he wouldn't have any doubts.

"If you want, I might be able to invite them."

"Including Mei, Kiana, and Dr. Tesla, Uncle Yang's wife. Hmm, after so long, Uncle Yang must miss his wife~"

"Don't!"

Old Yang quickly spoke up, he couldn't even imagine what kind of scene he would face if Bai Zhi really brought his wife Tesla over. He was afraid he would be severely punished by his hot-tempered older sister.

"Although I miss Earth very much... I'll let it go by bringing them here. They have their own lives, and I believe I will eventually find a way to travel across worlds and go back."

"Perhaps it's not about traveling to a parallel world?"

Bai Zhi made a pointed remark, because when she summoned the system to try and bring Mei and Kiana over, the system gave her a prompt.

[The location of this request is within this world; cross-world teleportation will not work. Please go there yourself to receive the invitation.]

As we all know, the Star Iron World is very special. This universe is structured as a tree of imaginary numbers. Each section of the tree trunk represents a form of world existence, and each flower and leaf represents the past and present of these worlds in the dimension of time.

Because the tree canopy absorbs the imaginary energy of spacetime, it is constantly repeating the cycle of "new buds growing and withered leaves falling".

This enormous tree has countless branches, each branch being related to time. Each leaf at the end of each branch is a galaxy, and these galaxies vary in size and environment, and are unable to contact each other due to the imaginary space created by imaginary energy.

The imaginary space not only isolates contact between galaxies, but also prevents the unlimited expansion of power within a single galaxy and the spread of disasters within the galaxy.

Of course, there are exceptions. Star gods who can draw power from imaginary energy, and messengers blessed by star gods, can traverse these imaginary space domains and travel between various star systems.

With the development of technology, there are now other means, but the biggest reason for connecting all worlds still comes from Archivist pioneering work.

However, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers is incredibly vast, containing countless worlds, including some that even the Pioneer Star Gods have yet to visit.

If the system indicates there is no problem.

Bai Zhi speculated that Kiana's world might be in the same universe as hers, but it might be an unknown star field that even pioneers had never reached.

"Little Angelica, what do you mean by that?"

Old Yang wasn't stupid either, and he quickly guessed a possibility, since the theory of the tree of imaginary numbers was included in the think tank.

"Perhaps Kiana and the others are in an unknown, desolate star system, but as for their exact location... I have no idea."

Bai Zhi shrugged.

Perhaps asking some of the Star Gods might provide some answers to this kind of question.

"Little Angelica, thank you, this information is very important."

Old Yang said seriously, "I originally thought I had come to a parallel world, but now, although it's not much better than a parallel world, at least it's in the same universe."

Although there are an absurd number of galaxies in the universe, almost infinite, finding a place to go is practically a pipe dream.

But who knows, maybe one day I'll get my hands on some magical artifact that can point to my hometown, and then the road home will be opened directly.

In this amazing universe, this possibility is quite high.

"Uncle Yang, let's go in and have some food first. By the way, have you received the invitation to Luofu's Martial Arts Ceremony?"

"We did receive the invitation to the Martial Arts Ceremony. Is Little Baizhi going back too? Well, that makes sense, the divine power surrounding you is too deceptive..."

Old Yang thought about it. He knew that there was more than one Divine Lord, but considering the chaotic information he had seen on the internet before, and the fact that no one in Luofu had come out to clarify, he felt that General Jingyuan must be planning something big this time.

However, the relationship between Xianzhou and the train crew is quite good. The entire train crew, plus Bai Zhi, the two Xianzhou people, are always willing to help.

"Uncle Yang definitely knows, and Luofu is going through a turbulent time right now. Whether it's for my hometown or my duty as the Dragon Lord, I definitely have to go back and help General Jingyuan quell any possible rebellions."

"Yes, I understand. Are you going to travel with the train this time?"

"Hehe, of course! It's been so long since I played with Sister March 7th, I really miss it~"

Bai Zhi smiled playfully, "Let's go, Uncle Yang, it's time to eat. We also have some people to introduce."

We led Lao Yang to the second floor of the hotel, where the lobby was already full of people, including guests who had made contributions and company employees.
