Although the deity possessed an inexplicable affability, it still couldn't alleviate the tense atmosphere of the entire meeting.
People breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the board members pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"The other party is someone who can truly sit down and talk with the Amber King. If we can win over this deity, could we learn the reason why the Amber King disdains the company's actions? This... might be an opportunity."
Chapter 86 Didn't you want to talk to me more?
A gentle breeze caressed the pavilion, where a petite girl with silver-gray twin ponytails was still clutching her game console, pressing buttons here and there.
Previously, Bai Yan had only shown Toppa the account balance and determined a solution for Belloberg's debt. Yin Yue completed the handover with Toppa as soon as she came out.
That debt was nothing compared to the auction price of the Cripper Cone of Light.
Yin Yue knew Bai Yan's account password very well, and could even break it without a password, but whether she could break it and whether she dared to break it were two different things.
At this moment, Silvermoon was playing a game while chatting with Topa, who was sitting opposite her.
It was supposed to be a chat, but it was actually a simple math game.
But because the little girl herself was a digital life form, many of the questions Toppa posed were solved instantly.
Topa tried to ask about other topics, but it turned out that the internet-addicted girl was not suited to chatting with guests to relieve their boredom.
Yinyue simply connected Topa to the internet so she could find something to do on her phone.
"It seems you two aren't getting along very well."
A clear voice appeared first in the pavilion, followed by Bai Yan's figure.
Back in the pavilion, Bai Yan met Topa's gaze, who was casting a glance his way. Bai Yan briefly explained:
"The result is obvious: the company's board of directors did not have the wicked Masked Fool infiltrated. Aha already knew that getting too close to me would be discovered, so he didn't bother coming here, or perhaps he really was still having fun with Nanuk."
Having answered Topa's question, he continued, "I plan to stay here for half a day. Are you going back now, or will you come back with me?"
Toppa wasn't particularly busy with this project; even his debt issues had been resolved, and now he was just waiting for a signal from the company.
But continuing to chat with the Star God, even though the atmosphere had just relaxed, is probably best avoided.
Although Toppa wasn't particularly interested in workplace interactions, he knew that dealing with such a powerful figure without knowing them was like walking on thin ice.
After careful consideration, Toppa made a decision: "I want to go back to Belloberg first. The debt issue has been resolved, and we will visit as a normal mission."
"Okay, see you next time."
Bai Yan did not try to stop her. After a crisp snap of her fingers, Topa's figure disappeared from the pavilion and returned to the suburban grassland outside Beloborg.
After sending Toppa back, he picked up the half-cup of tea he had left and sat down opposite Silvermoon: "The game expenses have been a bit high lately."
Yin Yue's fingers, which were playing the game, suddenly paused. She looked up and smiled, "Well... my mother has been having a bit of bad luck lately, and she spent too much money on in-game purchases."
Bai Yan smiled and said, "You mean the two hundred million credits I gave her have already been spent? What will she do if she finds out you framed her?"
Silver Moon lowered her head: "I know, I know. I'll be more careful in the future."
Bai Yan picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Yin Yue, and pushed it towards her: "Everyone has their own way of life. I'm just reminding you. This pocket money is also part of my salary for hiring our universe's second-best hacker. You can spend it as you please if you want."
Silver Moon lifted her drooping little head and smiled, revealing her teeth: "Mmm."
How have you been doing with your mother lately?
"It's alright. They recently went on a mission to some kind of immortal ship, and that fierce and taciturn weird uncle was captured. But he's usually very low-profile anyway, so it doesn't affect anything."
Bai Yan took a sip of tea. The stern and unpleasant uncle that Yin Yue mentioned must be Ren.
He flipped through his distant memories, recalling how Blade was captured by the people of the Immortal Ship, and how the script for the Star Nuclear Hunter had not changed much.
The star core may have already appeared on the Luofu Immortal Ship.
There are many people in the world who need hope. As a civilization fully capable of self-preservation and directly under the command of the Star God, the Celestial Ship is not in despair even when facing the Star Core. There is no doubt that it will not attract Si Yu to solve the problem.
The Star Train will welcome Kafka's visit at the next jump conference, then change course and jump to the Luofu Immortal Ship.
Speaking of the Immortal Ship, he thought of the lone Immortal Ship dweller in the Krus civilization.
He turned his gaze slightly, and in the distance, beside the towering trees, the long-eared elf high priest was quietly watching them.
Clearly, the high priest had already taken care of all the day's tasks.
"Come and sit."
After receiving the Father God's invitation, the High Priest appeared in the pavilion in a flash, placed his right hand on his chest to cover the ravine, and bowed slightly in greeting: "Thank you, Father God."
The high priest bowed and took his seat.
Bai Yan poured himself some tea and then poured a cup for the High Priest: "It seems there's a Celestial Ship crew here, staying in the Foreign Guest Reception Area. This size shouldn't be considered part of an envoy, right?"
"Some time ago, we rescued a person from the Celestial Ship. During our conversation, I learned that he was a ferryman from the Celestial Ship. He often travels with merchant corps to many worlds, forging trade and alliances."
The high priest, who could easily detect lies and had extensive diplomatic experience, did not question her own judgment.
"But since we have no actual contact with the Immortal Boat Alliance, we are unable to send her back to her hometown, so she is currently staying here temporarily."
Bai Yan put down his teacup: "I see. I happen to be going to the Immortal Ship soon, and I need a guide to help me make contact with them. Let her come with me."
"Miss Tingyun is currently in her room considering suitable Xianzhou goods for trade with us. I'll go and invite her over."
Bai Yan smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. Let's have a cup of tea first. Didn't you want to talk to me more?"
The high priest was slightly taken aback, but his heart was filled with joy, and he couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, Father God."
Chapter 87 Stopping Cloud
In a guest room at the Foreign Guest Reception Center of the Krus Elf Civilization.
The two fluffy fox ears were still upright, but there was a faint tendency for them to droop, echoing the worries in Tingyun's heart.
She has been in this friendly civilization for some time now.
Although she survived, how long will this kind of life last? She is treated with courtesy and is living comfortably here.
This is not her home after all.
The identity of the Luofu Immortal Ship Ferryman and the chief representative of the Tianbo Company Merchant Guild [Minghuo] is only meaningful if one can make contact with the Immortal Ship.
She wasn't too worried that this friendly civilization would turn her into a homeless person because of her gradually losing her identity.
What worries her more is that the universe is vast, and it is not easy for interstellar civilizations to make contact. If this civilization has not made any contact with that universe before her life ends, she will slowly end her life in this foreign land.
Her former friends, Lord Yu Kong's expectations, and the missions she made to many worlds, forging trade and alliances and leading the Immortal Ship to a different kind of prosperity... all of these will gradually fade from her life and can only be buried deep in her heart.
She might find a new job and a new position here, and then spend the rest of her life in a long wait.
"He's overthinking again."
Tingyun muttered to herself, gently patting her cheeks with her two slender hands.
"My temperament is not as resolute as that of Lord Yu Kong."
"The high priest has said that he will try his best to find clues to return when he contacts other civilizations. Such a prosperous interstellar civilization should have a way, but this favor is really hard to repay."
"Let's first find some goods suitable for trade with the Immortal Ship."
Tingyun sat at the table, picked up the tablet-like device provided to her by the high priest, and began to peruse the information within.
It contains a wealth of publicly available information about the Krus Elf civilization, such as the history of how the Father God created, protected, and inspired the Krus Elf civilization to grow.
During this time, she had many exchanges with that high priest.
I have also gained some understanding of this Father God.
In addition, based on what he learned from those materials, Tingyun could sense that the Krus Elf race seemed to have more respect for their Father God than the Immortal Boat had for the Emperor Bow Master.
Before she ended up here, she had heard about the [Life] Star God from a reporter's broadcast from the Interstellar Peace Company.
At that time, she was wondering when the Immortal Ship would have the opportunity to trade with the civilization created by the [Life] Star God. She never expected that the visit would be in such a sorry state, and that she would not even be able to return.
"Om-"
The tablet in Tingyun's hand suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up from the High Priest:
"Miss Tingyun, are you free right now?"
Tingyun replied, "Of course I have time, please tell me."
"Father God needs a guide for the Luofu Immortal Ship. If Miss Tingyun is capable of doing so, He is willing to take you back to your hometown as a reward. If you are ready, we will appear in your room in the next second for a face-to-face meeting."
Looking at the information on the tablet, Tingyun was momentarily stunned.
She had seen in the records of the Krus civilization that, in addition to creating life, this star god was equally fond of nurturing and interpreting, and He often hid in the mortal world to interpret and guide all living beings.
So the high priest also told her that the Father God was approachable and not aloof or unapproachable.
But Tingyun didn't expect to make contact so easily; the other party was even willing to act as her guide in exchange for taking her back to her hometown.
She quickly regained her composure, stood up, and tidied her makeup in front of the vanity mirror.
In less than ten seconds, she picked up the tablet again: "I'm ready."
Tingyun's heartbeat echoed in her chest, each beat like a countdown to the unknown future.
After her quick reply, the air in the room seemed to grow heavy, and each passing second increased her anticipation and tension.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm the slight trembling caused by nervousness.
A soft light appeared in the center of the room. Accompanied by a slight ripple in the air, the light slowly spread, eventually forming two figures.
As the light gradually faded, the High Priest and a figure of extraordinary bearing—clearly the Father God—appeared in Tingyun's sight.
"My name is Tingyun, and I am the ferryman of the Luofu Immortal Ship Heavenly Ship Bureau."
Tingyun smiled faintly and bowed, saying, "Greetings to His Majesty the [Life] Star God and His Highness the High Priest."
The being beside the High Priest nodded. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes were gentle and profound, as if he could see into people's hearts.
At the same time, Tingyun also felt an indescribable sense of warmth, which made her unconsciously relax.
A clear voice came from the other person: "If you are willing to accept my advice, we will be traveling together for a while in the future. Just call me Bai Yan."
