Chapter 555

Xingji reluctantly kissed the back of Kolarapu's hand.

The other party nodded in satisfaction, snapped his fingers with a "pa" sound, and then a shorter partner stepped out from behind him and handed Xing a piece of information.

The information showed: Since the company's executive director had negotiations with Kolarapu, he terminated cooperation with Liuguang Yiting, and the 【Propaganda Department】 Farnsa's memory-bubble technology yielded to the synesthesia beacon. Now, there is much debate within the company over whether Farnsa's position will be shaken.

"Originally, the synesthesia beacon appeared this early?"

Heita shrugged: "Of course, this was invented by #56 of the Genius Club, Eliyasalas. Unfortunately, my colleagues ignored his invention, letting this technology gather dust for hundreds of years. Later, the company recreated it using the Erudite Society's technology; just one injection, implanting the beacon in the central nervous system, allows you to understand the most foreign languages of distant worlds, like hearing your hometown accent."

"Good grief…… Being able to understand any language, such an awesome invention from the Genius Club, and they still ignore it?"

Shanda couldn't quite believe it; if this thing could circulate in his world, as soon as the Mana ecosystem had just formed, they'd have already injected it into the necks of those Phagocyte Beasts… If they could understand their language and quickly grasp their thought patterns, humanity wouldn't have been driven to such a state.

Xutong chuckled: "Shanda, don't be surprised; to us, this synesthesia beacon is awesome, but for those geniuses, it might just be a little gadget they whipped up idly after dinner."

"Wow, then those big shots' brains must be really sharp, huh?"

Xiadou couldn't help but envy: "If they could come to our world and help us remodel the Mana ecosystem, that would be great; it probably wouldn't take those geniuses much time."

"Don't overthink it."

Baiyuekui's voice came from the passenger seat: "Geniuses usually solve problems out of curiosity; if they figure out the Mana ecosystem and lose interest, they'll probably just pat their backsides and leave. Governing, remodeling the Mana ecosystem? Never mind whether it can be done; even if it could, we can't count on others to do it—we must do it ourselves."

"Moreover, thanks to Kolarapu's support of the synesthesia beacon technology, he gained the ideal opportunity. Conclusion: He brought the company huge profits and influence, the company also set up many observation points across the universe, the Erudite Society received funding and established the Galactic Library 【Ismael】." said Luo Si Gu Mu.

"Then it seems Farnsa's power has been suppressed?" Xing asked curiously.

Heita spread his hands: "... You see for yourself."

Before his voice even faded, Xing's phone received several messages from the internal group of Stellar Peace Company, two of which concerned Farnsa.

One was that her power split from the 【Propaganda Department】 to independently establish the 【Trade Department】; the other was even more explosive—Farnsa was promoted to P-48.

""……" Xing was completely stunned, "What's going on? There couldn't be any catnip in here, could there?"

"Who knows? But a P-48 rank is enough to become a company chairman-director." Heita said, "And from this moment on, the promoted Farnsa and Kolarapu began jointly controlling and circulating the resources of many star systems, creating an unprecedented monopoly."

As Heita's words fell, the scene before Xing returned to the universe, but this time there was an additional "golden" river before her.

The river surged upward, tens of millions of droplets of molten gold swirling and converging wildly—each brilliant golden glow seemed to teem with countless credit points, countless planets' rare earths and ores were forcibly extracted and poured into that greedy river like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

No…… rather than a river, it's more like a rope tied around the neck of the entire universe. And the other end of the rope is firmly gripped in the hands of two old men.

Fleming and Dongfang the Liyue the Liyue the Liyue the Liyue the Liyue the Liyue Qixing

Attack on Titan

"These two bastards…… They're madly amassing the wealth of the entire universe—how can we just sit by and do nothing?!"

Allen's fist slammed onto the rough wooden table with a "dong" sound, making the oil lamp's flame shake violently: "These two bastards…… high and mighty! Do they realize that every penny they amass could mean someone in another world is starving, a child can't afford bread! This is 【Custody】, I think they just want to 【Custody】 their own treasury, right?!"

"Allen——shh!" Armin quickly made a silencing gesture, "The others in the dorm are resting! What they did is indeed excessive——"

"Excessive?" Rang let out a cold laugh, he lazily leaned against the upper bunk's railing, his right hand making a clean, swift throat-slashing motion, "If you ask me, the best way to deal with such bastards is physical eradication. Send a strong martial artist over, one slash each, clean and swift, and the world's wealth will naturally flow back where it belongs."

"Exactly!" Allen immediately agreed, "This is plunder! It's another form of depriving freedom! Someone must stop them!"

"Allen, it's not that simple." Armin raised his volume, trying to bring their attention back to reality, "Leaving aside whether your assassination plan could succeed, the company has already formed a wealth-concentrating system; this isn't something that destroying one or two people can achieve. Fleming and Dongfang the Liyue the Liyue the Liyue the Liyue the Liyue the Liyue Qixing, rather than saying they are rulers, they are more like the system's most successful 'spokesperson' and 'symbol'."

Armin's attitude softened a bit, he let out a helpless sigh: "Think about it—if we cut off a giant's nape, the giant dies. But if we just poke out its eyes? It might suffer, go berserk, but soon it would grow new eyes! It might even become more dangerous and unpredictable because of the injury."

"Killing these two might cause a brief chaos, but the company this 'giant itself won't fall. A new chairman will climb up from this system and continue the same thing."

"I understand… does the company have a weakness like a 'nape'? Or is the whole universe just watching them amass wealth recklessly?" Allen's voice carried a hint of resentment.

"As far as we can see…… none." Armin shook his head regretfully, "Moreover, from a certain angle, the probability of your so-called 'assassination plan' being realized approaches zero—in fact…… it's simply impossible to achieve."
