“Ms. Bai Zhi, on behalf of Interstellar Peace Corporation, I would like to invite you to assume the position of Honorary Deputy Director of our Strategic Investment Department.”
"Honorary Deputy Director?"
Bai Zhi looked at Toppa, "Could you explain in more detail?"
Toppa nodded. "Of course. I know you may have some questions about the position of Honorary Deputy Director, so I will explain it to you in detail so that you don't miss anything."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Topa."
"Hehe, no trouble at all, it's my duty."
So first, let's talk about some internal matters. The position of Honorary Deputy Director of the Strategic Investment Department is at the P40 level in Interstellar Peace Corporation.
Of course, given that you have your own life, this position doesn't require you to be in the office at all; you simply enjoy the bonuses and certain privileges that come with this level.
"This is good," Bai Zhi praised, though she had no intention of actually working for Interstellar Peace Company.
After all, anyone who has played the game will be impressed by the various skills of the monsters in the Star Peace Corporation series.
Bai Zhi didn't want to be impacted by this kind of corporate culture.
"Of course, many honorary positions are managed in this way, and this model is widely praised in the universe. Below, I will explain some of the benefits of this position besides money."
For example, with this prestigious position, you can enjoy services and assistance that others cannot access, regardless of the company's location. These include business support, security assistance, and a wide variety of other services.
"Of course, if you are willing to bring some opportunities to the company, the company is also willing to pay more. The company has always been willing to allocate sufficient funds to reward hard-working people."
"This is some basic information about the position. There is much more for you to explore on your own, but I believe it will bring you many surprises."
Bai Zhi understood after hearing this. It was just as Fu Xuan had said; he was simply giving her a nominal position that didn't require her to do any work, and she would just have to wait to collect her salary.
To put it bluntly, this is what the company does to maintain interpersonal relationships.
As one of the few forces in the universe capable of directly summoning star gods to strike at hostile forces, the Immortal Ship carries immense weight. As for the Dragon Lord, even within the Immortal Ship, while he may not be on par with the General, he is certainly second only to the General.
Such a position is worth the resources that Interstellar Peace Corporation should invest in winning over.
They don't need to do anything specific; simply gaining some goodwill is enough to achieve their goal.
Bai Zhi turned to look at Fu Xuan, who nodded slightly in return.
“Then I’ll accept this little gift, thank you, Miss Topa.”
"Thank you very much for accepting our company's invitation. We are confident that our company will meet your expectations."
Hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Toppa smiled. The operation had gone unexpectedly smoothly; she had prepared many excuses.
After all, they had offered similar options to the previous Dragon Lord, Yin Yue Jun, in the past.
However, Lord Yinyue was too arrogant and completely disregarded such an invitation.
Many of the dragon masters accepted the company's invitation.
[Ding! You have obtained a senior position at Interstellar Peace Corporation, unlocking your identity in the instance world: Executive of a global mega-corporation]
Suddenly, a notification popped up unexpectedly from the system.
"what?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised, so she calmed herself down and began to examine the prompt.
[Executive of a Global Giant: As an executive of a global giant, you possess boundless capital. Through capital operations, you can sign asset contracts or hostile takeovers of institutions, organizations, or individuals. Alternatively, with a small amount of money, you can summon a branch of the company to transform the world with the most professional operations and unparalleled loyalty.]
Bai Zhi:?
Oh no, now I've become the one with the capital.
This sudden notification, along with its brief description, left Bai Zhi speechless.
There's only one word to describe it: an unexpected delight.
"Wait a minute, I was the Dragon Girl of the Immortal Ship before, so why didn't I get the Immortal Ship's instance world identity? An identity from the Immortal Ship should at least have the ability to use the Emperor Bow to launch giant rockets, right?!"
Bai Zhi suddenly thought of this question: the Dragon Girl should be considered a high-ranking member of the Immortal Ship, right? Why didn't she obtain an identity?
But then Bai Zhi thought about it again. It seemed that not having an identity before didn't seem to be a problem, because although the Dragon Girl seemed very powerful, it was actually just a title and didn't have any real power.
Even though she can indeed command some of the Vidyadharas, this command authority actually comes from the authorization granted by the Dragon Masters.
Without the Dragon Master's approval, she could not command any of the Vidyadharas.
As for the Interstellar Peace Company, it's a nominal position, but it does have a real rank and corresponding privileges, although it's much weaker than a real company executive of that level.
"If I were to become the Dragon Lord..."
Bai Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up as she realized this. The Dragon Girl did not have any power, but the Dragon Lord did. At least in name, the Dragon Lord could issue orders to Chi Ming and was the supreme leader.
Although this leadership is also based on the fact that the Dragon Lord has enough power of his own.
Otherwise, someone like Bai Lu, even if she is a Dragon Lord, without enough power, the Dragon Masters can still sideline her and even strip her of her Dragon Lord power.
"Bai Zhi, snap out of it!"
Fu Xuan's words brought Bai Zhi back to reality from her thoughts on the system introduction.
"Ah, sorry, I was thinking about going back to the Immortal Ship, so I got a little distracted."
Bai Zhi casually brushed it off with a reply.
"It's alright. It's understandable that you're homesick. As for your company ID card, since your rank is too high, it will be sent by the company headquarters after you return to Xianzhou. Please check your mail then."
Topa said understandingly.
"Well, thank you, Miss Topa."
"No need to thank me. I won't bother you any longer. After arranging some things and evacuating the company's personnel, Lord Fu Xuan can set sail."
Soon, under Topa's arrangement, the personnel of the Interstellar Peace Company quickly handed over the last supplies and then swiftly withdrew from the Immortal Ship Fleet.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Ship Fleet, carrying the Star Train, set sail towards the Celestial Ship.
197. A patient with gray hair and blue eyes.
"Arriving at the most beautiful hometown, Xianzhou, it's so beautiful! Xianzhou, ah, isn't that Bailu... Sister March 7th, you can explore on your own first, I'm leaving now."
At the dock where the fairy boat was moored, Bai Zhi shrank back, wanting to quietly slip away from a corner.
"Hey, Bai Zhi, stop right there!"
The childish voice made Bai Zhi stop in her tracks.
Suddenly, Bai Lu appeared in front of Bai Zhi.
"Haha, dear Master, it's been a long time!"
"Hmph, so you do know that?" Bai Lu crossed her arms unhappily. "You clearly agreed to study my medical skills properly, but now you're running around everywhere."
Bai Zhi scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "Master, you know, I really don't have much talent for medicine."
"Ah, is this Xiaobaizhi's master?? Wow, they look so alike, they both have dragon horns, but Xiaobaizhi doesn't have a tail, and they are the same height."
On March 7th, he quickly picked up his camera and took a picture of Angelica dahurica and Dew.
"It's decided, let's call this photo 'Double Dragons Meet'."
Looking at the preview in the camera, March 7th nodded in satisfaction.
"Talent and such are not very important. Given enough time, even the dumbest person can become a master. Besides, you are being taught by me. As the saying goes, a great teacher produces a great student."
Bai Zhi looked at Fu Xuan, but unexpectedly, Fu Xuan also shrugged helplessly.
"Bai Lu is indeed your teacher. It is my right to interfere with a master's discipline of his disciple. Moreover, I believe that you can indeed learn some medical skills. Although many things can be solved with magic, medical skills have the advantage of being widely applicable."
"These medical skills might be useful if you travel to other worlds in the future."
There were some things Fu Xuan didn't say, namely that if Bai Zhi followed Bai Lu to learn medical skills, then safety would be more controllable.
After all, Bai Zhi will soon be crowned as the Dragon Lord, which will inevitably attract a lot of attention.
With the vigorous investigation of those with ulterior motives, many details about Angelica dahurica are very likely to be leaked.
Although Fu Xuan was confident in the martial prowess of the Immortal Ship, the universe was so vast that there was no guarantee that some audacious individuals might dare to come and defy the world, especially those abundant and wicked creatures.
At this time, limiting Bai Zhi's activity range to a certain area will help the Fairy Boat to make security arrangements.
"See? Even Fu Taibu agrees with what I said."
"Come with me to the Dan Ding Si to learn medical skills. I'll arrange a private consultation room for you so you can treat patients there. If you make a mistake, I'll continue to treat you."
"Eh??"
"Master Bailu, isn't this wrong? Isn't this bad for the patient?"
Thinking of the painful experience of learning medicine from Bai Lu, Bai Zhi even tried to refute it.
With so much entertainment available in Xianzhou, and having finally returned, why not indulge in the internet, play the latest games, and catch up on the best dramas and anime instead of using that precious time to study?
"Besides, I'm still a two... no, a three-year-old child. I'm not old enough to go to school yet. Shouldn't I be enjoying my childhood at home?"
"Is she three years old?"
March 7 looked at Bai Zhi with a confused expression, then at Walter and Xing, who had gotten off the bus with her.
Walter adjusted his glasses, unsure of what to say.
Bai Zhi's usual behavior is nothing like that of a three-year-old.
But Bai Lu wasn't buying Bai Zhi's act; she said:
"As we all know, age does not equal wisdom, so stop struggling and come with me to the Dan Ding Division."
"Moreover, as long as I announce that you come to treat me and I can cover the costs if you can't, people will definitely flock to me."
Bai Zhi was speechless now, because if Bai Lu had said that, then the line of people would indeed stretch from the Dan Ding Si to the Shen Ce Fu.
Although Bai Lu cannot cure the Demon Yin Body, she is absolutely adept at treating other illnesses. Whether they are people from the Immortal Ship or other non-human beings, they all yearn to be healed by Bai Lu.
This is also why Bai Lu could at least sit in the Dragon Lord's position before Bai Zhi appeared; her healing ability is indeed unique.
"...Okay, I can give it a try."
Bai Zhi had nothing to say then, so she decided to give it a try.
Bai Zhi turned around and said, "Sister March 7th, it seems I can't be your tour guide anymore."
"It's alright, Xiao Baizhi should study hard too. I never expected Xiao Baizhi to be this young... My goodness, does our train crew count as employing child labor?"
"Yes, employing child labor is a very serious crime. According to what I saw in the database, in Xianzhou, it would probably be a hundred years in prison."
Xing said expressionlessly from the side.
"Huh? Maybe we should run away first. A hundred years? I'll become an old lady who can't walk, or even die of old age. There are still so many places I haven't been to. This won't do."
"Sister March 7th... it's not that exaggerated, and the laws of the Immortal Boat don't apply to trains."
"I was so scared, I thought I was going to be arrested."
March 7th patted his chest.
Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head. After greeting the train crew, she followed Bai Lu to the Dan Ding Division.
“From today onwards, this will be your clinic, right near mine. If anything goes wrong during treatment, I can come to your aid immediately. I’ll go get help and bring over all the medical equipment.”
In a room that was about seventy or eighty square meters in size, Bai Lu finished speaking to Bai Zhi and then hurriedly ran out.
"...Why is Bailu in such a hurry?"
Bai Zhi felt somewhat helpless. She always felt that Bai Lu seemed particularly eager to teach her what she knew.
"Fine, I'll learn it then. Even if I unlock the Horse Talisman later, medical skills will still be useful."
Thinking this, Bai Zhi plopped down in a chair, took out her phone, and prepared to relax for a bit.
But before she could even sit down properly, the door was pushed open.
"Master Bailu, so fast... Oh, who are you?"
