"The situation has changed. Oliver is the ruler of Jarilo-VI, and Ms. Herta, Screwllum, and Ruan Mei are quite close to him. I believe there is investment value here."
After leaving Qlipoth Fort, Emerald immediately contacted her direct superior.
Diamond: "You are a veteran employee, I trust your judgment. A friend of a genius must have value. Explore it thoroughly. Whatever money or personnel you need, you have full authority. I only want results, the results of Jarilo-VI's profitability."
Emerald: "Of course, I won't disappoint you."
"Supervisor, there's a planet outside, it's for you!"
Suddenly, there was static on the communication, urgent voices of other employees.
Diamond: "What planet? For me? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's true! A planet has appeared next to Pier Point, and there are words on it!"
Beep beep beep.
The communication hung up.
Emerald was bewildered, completely unaware of what was happening there.
She could only contact a colleague to inquire about the situation.
At the same time.
Interstellar Peace Corporation Headquarters.
A celestial body suddenly appeared in the sky.
And it was very close!
Countless people stood on the ground, gazing up at the sky.
They were all startled by the suddenly appearing planet.
"It looks like it says 'Thank you' on it."
"'Thank you, Strategic Investment Department, for the gift of cooperation. May Diamond's monthly income soon exceed ten thousand. -Jarilo-VI, Oliver.'"
"Monthly income exceeding ten thousand? What a malicious curse! This is a provocation!"
"It's clearly a thank-you note."
"What the heck is a thank-you note? Who sends a planet as a thank-you note?"
"It's too absurd, this is truly the first time I've seen a thank-you note of this caliber. I'll cherish it for a lifetime!"
"That name, Oliver, sounds familiar. Where have I heard it?"
"What kind of memory do you have? A few days ago, the higher-ups sent a notice in the group, asking us to pay attention to someone named Oliver, a friend Ms. Herta was looking for."
"Oh right, I forgot."
"Indeed, worthy of being Ms. Herta's friend, simply incredible!"
The crowd looked up, discussing this rare sight.
Diamond stood by the window on the top floor of the headquarters building, looking at the absurd thank-you sphere, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
Emerald had just reported her work, so how did Oliver send a planet over?
The key was, how much time had passed between then and now?
How did Oliver send the planet to the company headquarters?
Separated by millions of light-years, even with continuous warp jumps, it would be impossible to arrive in such a short amount of time.
"This person indeed has some value. Does he think Emerald only saw his network of connections, not his abilities, so he specially came to demonstrate? Heh."
Diamond guessed Oliver's thoughts but didn't care.
He himself was an Emanator; only another Emanator could make him treat them cautiously.
Could it be that the other party was also an Emanator?
However, from a business perspective, this person was indeed very much worth investing in.
Diamond sent a message to Emerald: "Double Jarilo-VI's resources, Oliver is worth that price. Also, send a gift to the other three geniuses."
Then, Diamond sent people to clear away the planet-sized thank-you note.
The other members of the board naturally also learned of this matter, each with their own thoughts.
Belobog.
After receiving Diamond's message, Emerald also learned of what had happened at headquarters.
She suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
Just now, Oliver said he had something important to do, and then a planet appeared next to headquarters.
"What kind of ability is this? He truly has hidden value; I need to put some effort into this."
Emerald developed a strong interest in Oliver.
Through their previous conversation, she felt that Oliver was a normal person, unlike those other geniuses.
Perhaps she could even recruit him to join the company as a colleague?
On the other side.
Qlipoth Fort's command center.
Ms. Herta had already installed the latest defensive network engineering.
Now, Belobog's entire network was super secure; ordinary hackers couldn't get in at all.
Even Silver Wolf shouldn't think about hacking in.
Except for that Mysterious expert.
"We'll just guard this place. If that guy dares to come, we'll deal with it immediately! I'm going to make it quit its internet addiction!"
Herta seriously instructed Screwllum.
"Logic: The opponent was able to breach the Company's account and crush you, making it a powerful enemy. Conclusion: I only have a fifty percent chance of success, but I will do my best."
Screwllum's expression was calm, and his tone was firm.
Oliver happened to walk in and overheard their conversation.
He laughed inwardly: Today is another day of geniuses trying to outsmart me.
[Ding! script cooldown completed]
[Do you want to activate the script?]
The system's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
"No."
This is an opportunity for showing off and saving my life; I'll use it later.
"Oliver, you came just in time."
Herta saw Oliver walk in and immediately stopped him: "The thing you asked for is ready. Now we just wait for the Stellaron Hunters to take the bait. You wait here too; I don't like seeing you idle."
Seeing her slightly annoyed expression, Oliver smiled: "I was going to let you meet Nous, but I guess we'll wait a little longer."
Saying this, Oliver plopped down onto a chair.
The moment Herta heard Nous, she immediately grabbed Oliver's arm. "Wait for what? Let's start right now! After meeting Nous, we can wait as long as you want!"
She forcefully pulled Oliver up from the chair.
"Question: Are the two of you discussing an audience with Nous?"
Screwllum's tone rose several degrees, as if a keyword had been triggered.
"Yes, you heard correctly, but you can't participate. This is my chance."
Herta had invested so much for this day that she certainly didn't want anyone else interfering.
What if the machine head's attention was diverted by someone else? Wouldn't all her effort be wasted?
"Herta, is this the reason you befriended Mr. Oliver?"
Screwllum asked.
Herta raised her chin: "Yeah, so what?"
"Nothing much. I just found the answer to a question—the reason you actively sought friendship."
Screwllum's tone was teasing, and he added: "I wish both of you success in achieving your wishes."
He did not make any requests, because he knew his limits.
This was also what Oliver appreciated about him.
"I'll let you meet him sometime in the future too if there's a chance."
Oliver joked casually, and then he and Herta arrived outside Belobog City.
This was to prevent the sudden energy surge from affecting innocents.
Oliver placed the projector for Nous in front of him and turned it on.
"Is this some kind of ritual? Why did I follow your instructions and get no results?"
Herta asked.
Oliver replied: "This is a ritual only I can perform. It is very dangerous."
Seriously, stripping an Aeon's clothes—wouldn't you say that's dangerous?
He said no more, focusing his gaze on the holographic image of Nous.
He silently chanted: Shed Armor!
The next second.
A layer of the outer shell fell off the holographic image of Nous.
"Huh? Is the projector broken?"
Herta was about to check the equipment.
Just then, she heard Oliver declare loudly: "machine head, come out and see me!"
Buzz~~~~
Suddenly, the surrounding Imaginary energy fluctuated violently, and the temperature rapidly soared!
This time, the two of them seemed to enter the gap in the Path.
A colossal phantom appeared in the cosmos.
A giant machine head, flashing with dazzling red light!
That red light enveloped the entirety of Jarilo-VI.
"This time it's not a gaze, but a projection?"
Herta was utterly astonished.
Even her super high IQ brain couldn't comprehend this matter.
Why would an Aeon project itself just because Oliver called out once?
This was even rarer than an Aeon's gaze!
Even Zandall rarely received this kind of treatment.
Which quality exactly did the machine head value in Oliver?
