Chapter 51

"Have you seen a music box?"

Speaking of this, the purple-haired woman paused,

"Could it be that you are... a dragon?"

The purple-haired woman's eyes reflected the scene in the light screen, which was the Aether Dragon circling in the scorching galaxy.

"Contract slave? Universal Megacorp? Hahahahaha!"

Aventurine seemed to have heard a huge joke and couldn't help but laugh on the sofa while holding his stomach.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ratio, did you see that? This is simply mocking the Corporation."

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. Even in the world outside the known universe, the Corporation's set of tricks still works!"

Sitting in front of Aventurine, Dr. Ratio, who was drinking black tea, chuckled.

"Is that so? I actually think the Universal Megacorp is much better than the Corporation."

"At least they don't hide their pursuit of profit and wealth, while the Corporation... hehehe."

"The Corporation says it serves interstellar peace and acts for Preservation, but what it does really makes people wonder."

"Oh my, Ratio, don't let certain Preservation fanatics hear you say that." Aventurine chuckled and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Besides, in the end, aren't they all doing the same thing?"

"Exploiting employees, squeezing labor, even if they die at their posts, they only offer a few words of comfort, and then issue a meager pension... oh, employees with too low a rank don't even have a pension."

"Hehehe." Dr. Ratio smiled disdainfully: "Aren't you also a part of the Corporation system?"

"Then at least I'm not the really bad kind..." Aventurine scratched his hair: "Or, do you want to go to Penacony with Opal?"

"Not necessary."

Dr. Ratio snorted and looked at the light screen:

"I suggest that the entire Corporation carefully observe the Universal Megacorp's way of acting."

"Learn from advanced experience?" Aventurine asked curiously.

"If the Calamity Empire attacks, at least you can know how to live after surrendering."

Dr. Ratio's mouth curled into a smile:

"If they accept surrender."

Listening to Dr. Ratio's words, Aventurine couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Then we must learn well."

Saying this, Aventurine looked at the light screen.

On the light screen, the alien contract slaves belonging to the Calamity Empire's subsidiary, Universal Megacorp, were trembling, driving civilian ships and constantly approaching the Aether Dragon.

These ships were equipped with a large amount of scientific research equipment, obviously investigating the situation of the Aether Dragon.

【"Colleagues, work hard..."】

The leading contract slave said to his companions beside him:

【"As long as we finish this job, most of our debts can be paid off."】

【"Yeah, we only need to pay the Universal Megacorp for the work clothes and work ship, plus this month's interest, and we can pay off most of the principal."】

【"After paying off this debt, I'll go back to my hometown and get married!"】

【"Let me show you, this is my fiancée. We agreed that I would go home and get married after I pay off the Universal Megacorp's debt."】

For a moment, the atmosphere on the ship became active.

Contract slaves from different planets and different species worked more efficiently for a while.

【"Hey, hey, hey, that raccoon over there, pay attention, don't break the ship. If it breaks, we still have to pay the Universal Megacorp."】

"I am a team leader of the Interastral Peace Corporation. I beg the light screen to stop broadcasting. I have already broken down."

"The mecha I drive is an asset of the Corporation. If it is damaged, I need to pay for it myself, even if it is damaged at work."

"I broke down, I really broke down."

"Me too. I've worked in the Corporation for more than ten years, and I can only rent a one-bedroom apartment on the enterprise ship."

"I've worked for six years, and I'm still living in a dormitory."

Looking at the scene in the light screen, countless Corporation employees on the enterprise ships of the Interastral Peace Corporation everywhere broke down.

If the scene played on the light screen before was indeed a hell of deep water and scorching heat, where aliens were treated extremely cruelly by the Calamity Empire,

however, seeing the Universal Megacorp, many employees of the Corporation in the universe broke down.

It turned out that they didn't need the Calamity Empire to arrive; they were already living in a similar hell.

Dr. Ratio, who saw this scene, smiled: "What? Aren't you afraid that your subordinates will go on strike?"

Aventurine raised his eyes and glanced at Dr. Ratio: "The employees under me are the best-treated batch in the Strategic Investment Department."

"I am not stingy at all about giving them bonuses and dividends."

Saying this, Aventurine looked at the smart AI secretary beside him and waved his hand:

"Issue three months' salary as a bonus to employees above P25 this month."

"Issue two months' salary to those above P20, and one month's salary to those below."

"Just say... it's to celebrate our victory in Penacony in advance."

"Oh, by the way, tell them that the employee who does the best business in Penacony... I will reward an additional four 'Faith Bonds'."

Saying this, Aventurine waved his hand at Dr. Ratio.

"How about it? Ratio, are you interested in working here? Hmm?"

Speaking of this, Aventurine's phone rang suddenly.

Aventurine picked it up and looked at the message on it, frowning.

"Opal's subordinates are demanding that the lunch break be increased from 15 minutes to 20 minutes?"

"How did Opal respond?" Dr. Ratio asked, propping up his face.

"He issued a new recruitment notice, and the original employees were all... damn lunatic."

Aventurine shook his head:

"He said the Corporation doesn't need disloyal employees."

"Hehe." Dr. Ratio sneered, not surprised: "It's better to say that this is your actual situation."

"You, Topaz, Jade... are considered the ones who are not so bad."

Dr. Ratio said, propping up his face:

"Cooperating with you is not hard to accept."

"Hehe, I'll take that as a compliment."

Saying this, Aventurine propped up his face and looked at the scene on the light screen.

On the light screen, the contract slaves had a brief quarrel.

【"Don't get any closer... We have already collected a lot of data."】

【"If we get any closer, we might not be able to go back alive."】

【"Don't be stupid, our KPI hasn't been met, and the reward we get isn't enough to offset the cost of the research ship, let alone pay off the debt."】

This quarrel only lasted for a moment.

The Universal Megacorp didn't require them to go deep to a certain extent,

but if they didn't collect enough data and didn't meet enough KPIs, the reward they got wasn't even enough to pay for the research ship.

They could only choose to take the risk and move closer to the Aether Dragon...

The Aether Dragon deep in the galaxy slowly opened her eyes.

(I fell asleep in the afternoon, just woke up, the next chapter will be available after ten or eleven o'clock.)

64. 【Universal Megacorp has forgiven the families of the deceased】

The Aether Dragon in the light screen slowly opened her eyes, which were glowing with scorching flames, and looked at the small research ship that was constantly approaching her.

【".... Phew."】

Scorching sparks splashed from the corners of the Aether Dragon's mouth, thunder loomed on her wings, and wisps of plasma heat flowed out.

【"Get closer, this is rare data!"】

【"As long as we collect this data, not only can we pay off most of the debt, but we might even get a promotion!"】

【"After collecting this data, I'll go back and get married."】

The eyes of the contract slaves shone with eagerness, and they constantly approached the Aether Dragon,
