"You agree to that? Don't you have any other requests?"
Bai Zhi extended her hand, shook hands with Möbius in a friendly manner, and then asked curiously.
She remembered that Mebius was quite cunning; he actually agreed so readily, which was completely out of character for Snake.
"Hehe, for some people, it may be hard to leave their homeland, but for a scientist, going to a bigger world is something they long for."
"It's already very kind of you not to make any demands of me."
Mebius chuckled softly. She knew that if she made some demands and exerted some pressure, she might actually be able to get something in return.
But she understood even better that doing that kind of thing could easily backfire on her.
A wise person wouldn't do something so foolish.
In the absence of fundamental conflict, it's best to keep things peaceful and harmonious for everyone.
There's no need to be so aggressive and make everyone unhappy.
The starry sky is so vast, and there is never a shortage of brilliant scientists. Even if she is exceptionally talented on Earth, on the scale of the universe, she may only be slightly more outstanding.
Moreover, she extracted a piece of information from what Bai Zhi said.
That is, Bai Zhi seems to have a good relationship with the owner of that Black Tower Space Station, who is also a member of the Genius Club.
In the entire universe, there are so many life forms, but that club only has 84 members. You can imagine how stringent the requirements are to enter it.
With this kind of relationship, producing any scientific research results is quite simple; her arrival is not necessary.
Therefore, it's best to make the wisest choice.
"Is that so? Then, welcome to my company."
"uh-huh……"
Möbius sized Bai Zhi up and down, then teased, "So, Miss Bai Zhi, what should I call you from now on? Boss? Or Master?"
"There's no need for that... Just call me by my name. Master and such are unnecessary in this interstellar age."
"Alright, alright, dear Bai Zhi, from now on, I, Mebius, will have to rely on you to pay my salary to make ends meet. I hope the boss won't deduct my meager income."
"hiss……"
Hearing Mebius's words, Bai Zhi felt goosebumps.
When Mebius puts his voice in that tone, it just sounds so sarcastic and weird.
“Salary is no problem. I have some wealth and own a planet. I will give you a professional laboratory. You can take 30% of the profits from the products you develop there.”
Chapter 423 Mebius's assist to Eden
"Tsk tsk, Little Angelica, you really are a qualified boss, focusing on business as it is, very good quality~"
Mebius's eyes lit up when he heard the conditions Bai Zhi had set.
When she was one of the 13 Heroes on Earth, she basically didn't care about or ask about this financial matter.
Given the state of humanity, they will definitely do everything in their power to ensure scientific research. Whatever equipment and materials she wants, they will try their best to provide them.
But if we arrive at a new world, still at the level of the universe, then we'll definitely need to pay attention to these things.
Although she is a scientist, she cannot operate all the instruments by hand, so purchasing various scientific research equipment naturally costs her a lot of money.
Now that Bai Zhi is offering her a research station, that's fantastic news!
"And I didn't realize you were such a big landowner, Little Angelica, a whole planet."
"It's alright, it's just the ownership of a planet, it's not worth much money."
Bai Zhi waved her hand. In the past, a planet would have been a very good thing for her.
But now, the medicine she produces every day brings her huge profits. If she were to simply buy planets, she could probably buy one every few days.
It's just that the planet doesn't have the various infrastructures and facilities that this one does.
After all, the most valuable things on a planet are resources and population, followed by various infrastructure facilities.
A habitable planet with no people, no infrastructure, and not many rare resources will have a price that's about what it is.
"That's a really extravagant statement, just like Eden."
No sooner had Möbius finished speaking than a tall figure appeared.
"Mebius, are you talking about me?"
The visitor was none other than Eden, who was carrying a glass of red wine.
"That's right, I'm talking about you. I'm saying that you're just like my new boss, both very rich and don't care about money at all."
Mebius glanced at Bai Zhi and said helplessly.
"Hehe, money is just a number, a means to achieve a goal, the amount doesn't matter."
"Tsk."
Mebius was a little annoyed. Was this even human? Although she had hardly ever been troubled by money, these words were still unpleasant to hear.
"Miss Eden, hello! I've heard so much about you."
Ignoring Möbius, Bai Zhi picked up the cup on the table and gave Eden a slight toast.
"Miss Bai Zhi, hello. Your performance during this period has truly broadened my horizons."
Eden shifted slightly and lowered his head to clink glasses with Bai Zhi.
"Why are you being so polite? It's like some high-society cocktail party, all roundabout and complicated."
“Let me explain. This little guy wants to recruit us. Eden, a big star like you is definitely an important target for recruitment.”
"Instead of saying nice things here, let's just state our terms and tell you what's attractive about it."
At this point, Möbius glanced at Bai Zhi and said, "See, I've skipped the formalities. Just remember to give me a raise later."
"Uh...no problem."
Bai Zhi wasn't used to this roundabout way of speaking either, so Mebius did her a big favor.
"Mébius, you..."
Eden glanced helplessly at Mebius with his golden eyes, then looked at Bai Zhi.
“Miss Bai Zhi, although Mebius’s way of speaking is indeed a bit direct, it is indeed something I want to know.”
"If I go to your world, what will I get? Or what could attract me? Certainly not in terms of money."
Eden said in an elegant tone.
She doesn't care about money. Just as she said at the beginning, money is just a tool for her to achieve her goals, and she has never paid attention to it.
Hearing Eden ask this question, Bai Zhi perked up. She knew that this was a crucial moment in whether or not she could recruit Eden.
“Miss Eden, what you care about is being able to promote your music and art, right?”
Bai Zhi thought about it and decided to start from here.
After all, there's a saying that goes, "With ordinary people, you talk about money; with idealists, you talk about hobbies and ideals."
Eden was clearly an idealist.
"It is obvious that music is my life, and everything else is in service of it."
Eden smiled slightly; this was no secret.
"Then, Miss Eden, you must be interested in spreading your singing throughout the universe. To be honest, the planet I have is adjacent to Pinocchio, the famous planet of grand gatherings in the universe."
"At the Star of the Gathering, there is a Miss Robin, a renowned diva in the universe. Every time she participates in a musical gala, it creates a sensation throughout the universe, attracting countless people to watch."
“I think Miss Eden should also receive this treatment, to have her voice heard throughout the universe.”
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi said the above words.
She knew Eden very well; he was a hero who lived entirely for music. So she first brought up the equally famous songstress Robin in the Star Iron world to arouse Eden's curiosity.
Then she said the whole universe needs to hear her voice.
“I know some people at the Interstellar Peace Corporation… well, you might not know what the Interstellar Peace Corporation is, but it’s a huge, global conglomerate that spans the entire universe. In our world, the most common currency is the credits they issue.”
“I understand, Miss Bai Zhi, please continue.”
Eden extended his hand, gesturing for Bai Zhi to continue.
“I know some people from the Interstellar Peace Corporation. They have enormous media resources and can quickly spread the song of Eden to most corners of the universe.”
"This is how I helped Miss Eden~"
"I see…"
Eden frowned slightly. She wouldn't say anything; good wine needs no bush, no media is needed—that's all nonsense.
Any adult with normal intelligence knows that even the best wine needs advertising, and this is true even on Earth, let alone on a cosmic scale.
Using such a massive platform for promotion must come at a high cost.
As for Angelica dahurica, there's nothing more sincere than this.
Although she had never been in Bai Zhi's world, she knew that if such conditions were offered, countless singers who felt their talents were not being recognized would flock to them.
"What else is there to think about? It's pretty good. Eden, you'd better bring Alicia over too. That girl sings quite well."
Mebius also chimed in to help Bai Zhi by saying something.
"Aili...hehe, she really sings very well, it's a pity she doesn't want to be a singer, otherwise she might be able to be my equal."
Chapter 424 The Joining of Many Heroes
"Mebius, it seems you must have gained quite a bit of benefit."
Eden glanced at Mebius with interest; this proud snake wouldn't speak up for anyone lightly.
There's no way you'd get her to do that without some incentive.
"Yes, I did get a lot of benefits, but I mean it honestly. If it were just me and a few other people going there, it would be too boring."
"So, if possible, I'd still like to have a few more people with me."
Mebius said very bluntly, "With money and good benefits, only a fool wouldn't go."
It seems there's no collapse like on Earth over there, allowing her to conduct research more freely—it's practically paradise.
Of course, it would be even better if I could bring a bunch of familiar faces along.
Although Alicia often wanted her to wear those embarrassing outfits, which was very "annoying," she didn't care about these issues because they were colleagues she had worked with for many years.
"uh-huh."
Eden did not give a clear answer to Mebius's question.
Even though she was indeed somewhat tempted, as a big star, no matter how beautiful the paradise was, it would feel quite lonely to have been there for tens of thousands of years with all the audience members being old friends.
However, she didn't know what Alicia was thinking.
Even if we could go to the new world, it would be boring without Airi.
"Wow, how come so many people have gathered so quickly? You're not all here to curry favor with Sister Bai Zhi, are you?"
Cat peeked out from behind Eden and immediately spotted the group of people gathered there.
"Yes, we've already taken all the spots. Eden is a big star, I'm a researcher, and Hua and Xiaobaizhi are old friends. There's no place for someone like you with no special talents."
Mebius looked at Padofilis with a mischievous smile and said in a serious tone.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Padofilis's tail stood on end in fright, and then it looked at Bai Zhi pitifully.
"Big Sister Bai Zhi, is it really true that there are no more spots available?"
"It's because you're too useless. Besides picking up some things, what else can you do? Everyone here is more useful than you."
Mebius's wicked smile deepened.
"Woo..."
"Alright, Mebius, stop joking. I would welcome Pado here."
