The commercial ship passed through the stargate, and the Pier Point came into view.

Compared to the last time I was completely lost, this time I was very familiar with the place.

Inside the command center, everyone's faces were calm, but beneath that calm lay an barely suppressed excitement.

"Don't hold it in, just laugh if you want to."

Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly. A moment later, the cabin was filled with hearty laughter.

"That's really impressive! Last time we came, even though we took the company route, we still had to wait quite a while to get through. I didn't expect this time..."

Xiang Yu was somewhat moved.

"That's right, there were even warships escorting them... warships!"

Even the youngest, Wu Qi, couldn't suppress his youthful spirit and excitedly said.

Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, Lin Yuan chuckled:

"Have you seen it? Why are so many people so eager for power and status? You should get used to it sooner rather than later. These things will just be routine for us in the future."

Upon hearing this, everyone suppressed their emotions and calmed down.

"The boss is right, we must not lose our composure. Losing face for ourselves is a small matter, but losing face for the boss would be a huge mistake."

The group of people gave themselves a warning, and Bronson even put on a stern face, put on sunglasses, and looked particularly cold.

The rest of the flight went smoothly, and they entered the country through the fastest process and were guided to a high-level airport.

With the airport manager's respectful farewell and the escort of security personnel, the group once again set foot on Pierpoint's grounds.

"Yingduo, Muzheng, you two go to the personnel center in the core city to confirm the identities of our people and collect their personal equipment."

I'll grant you access later, then we'll head back to our base and I'll prepare a welcome dinner for everyone.

"Yes!"

Lin Yuan summoned the convoy via the terminal—this is the most basic privilege of the P46.

Shortly after, a large convoy of vehicles slowly landed on the tarmac.

In the center of the convoy, a luxurious flying car that resembled an armored vehicle slowly landed, escorted by armed flying cars in front and behind.

This is a company-provided car for him. Only those who have reached a certain level are eligible to ride in it.

The car door slowly opened, revealing a spacious, empty interior.

The flying car in front of them was clearly driverless, but Lin Yuan could also have it switched to manual operation.

After all, nobody wants their car to get infected with some kind of anti-organic equation one day and cause an accident out of nowhere.

"Team Leader Lin, let me drive."

Bronson got into the driver's seat, and Lin Yuan nodded.

The rest boarded other flying vehicles. Soon, the convoy slowly took off, gradually disappearing into the distance amidst the many envious and curious gazes of the airport crowd.

Where are we going?

From the driver's seat, Bronson spoke solemnly, like a professional bodyguard.

"Go home and rest for a while."

Lin Yuan didn't look up; he was scanning the information on the terminal.

The screen displayed the various new benefits he received after being promoted to P46: in addition to a dedicated car, he was assigned a larger territory that he could use at will, and his original residence would not be taken back.

Lin Yuan has no plans to move for the time being; the carefully arranged scene is just right for him. He intends to settle his subordinates and future private army in the new place.

In addition, the subscription share of faith bonds has also increased significantly.

Compared to the past when Louis Fleming had to personally distribute them, the current faith bonds can be subscribed to proportionally from the basic monthly salary of senior executives, just like paying social security, which is much more convenient.

Perhaps having received word, several market development directors he had previously turned down sent him dinner invitations. There were also some other guys whose identities he didn't know who wanted to chat with him.

Lin Yuan swiped his right hand, sending all the newly popped-up messages on the terminal into the recycle bin.

He hates business invitations, hates boring dinner parties, and has no interest in insincere pleasantries with others.

Before long, the convoy slowly landed on the grass. The steward in charge of the place was already waiting outside—he was carefully selected by Lin Yuan before he left, and his ability and loyalty were trustworthy.

Now, the butler, who already knew Lin Yuan's rank, showed respect in his eyes, and diligently opened the car door and led the way.

What's been happening these past couple of days?

"Lord Lin, you have received invitations from many high-ranking executives of companies and other powerful figures these days, and there are still people waiting for your reply outside the door."

"Send them all away. I won't see any guests for the next couple of days."

Lin Yuan said indifferently.

"Yes."

Upon returning to his lakeside residence, the steward respectfully took his leave.

Lin Yuan turned around and smiled at his subordinate beside him: "How does it feel to be here in Pierpoint for the first time? Are you feeling a little out of sorts?"

"Indeed, Lord Lin. It truly lives up to its reputation as the company headquarters—I thought it was grand enough back in Xianzhou."

Xiao Han smiled wryly and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Heh, you'll get used to it after a while. How about this, I'll take you to the Interstellar Peace Hotel for a nice welcome dinner tonight."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu immediately became excited:

"Boss, really! I've heard this is the most high-end restaurant in the entire universe? I wanted to go last time but didn't have the chance..."

"Would I lie to you? Seeing how enthusiastic you are, you, Xiaohan, and Scott will make the appointment."

"With my work card access, let's set the time for tonight. After Yingduo and the others finish their business, they've worked so hard lately, I'll treat you all to some fun."

"okay!"

Xiang Yu took the work card and happily led Scott and Xiao Han away quickly.

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head, a meaningful look on his face.

He turned and returned to his lakeside pavilion, where he closed his eyes in deep thought and activated the system.

"I almost forgot about you," Lin Yuan said with a hint of helplessness.

The familiar panel unfolded before him, and his information had indeed changed from P40 to P46.

"The promotion and salary increase system, huh? Will it bring me some surprises this time?"

Unfortunately, after a long pause, Lin Yuan pursed his lips and said no.

I did get a promotion and a raise, and I also received a lot of recognition.

Unfortunately, after understanding the nature of the system, this guy began to openly use his talent and destiny star to draw energy from the universe.

Aside from fluctuating exchange rates, the system shop has practically nothing new. The lucky draw has some value, but it's incredibly expensive.

Lin Yuan had just done a ten-pull, and all he got was garbage, but he did manage to get some strange, standard-issue weapons and equipment.

He pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

From now on, I'll stockpile more gacha resources and then properly equip a team.

"Fish, fish, when will you take the bait?"

After finishing these tasks, Lin Yuan closed his eyes to rest and waited for the daylight to pass.

.......

Meanwhile, Xiang Yu and Scott arrived at the Interstellar Peace Hotel in one of the convoy's flying cars.

At the gate, several low-ranking employees swaggered in. The gatekeeper, who was equipped with a combat prosthetic, was about to stop them when he saw them hand him their employee ID cards.

A moment later, with the gatekeeper's respectful invitation, the group was able to enter smoothly.

At the lobby reception desk, Xiang Yu glanced at the slightly reserved Xiao Han and Scott, and chuckled softly:

"Don't be so nervous, learn more from me."

Do any of you have reservations?

The receptionist, whose looks rivaled those of a celebrity, said with a smile.

The scanner installed under her eyes could now clearly see the ranks of the people in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel curious and puzzled.

But since the other party was able to get in here, there must be something unusual about them.

"Hello, we don't have a reservation. Our manager would like to reserve a table for tonight. Could you please check if there are any private rooms available?"

As Xiang Yu spoke, he pushed the work card over.

The receptionist scanned the area with the equipment, and a look of shock flashed across her eyes.

Her excellent professionalism allowed her to maintain her composure, but when she raised her head, the smile on her face became even sweeter and more genuine.

"Dear guest, we happen to have a premium private room available today. We'll make a reservation for you."

Thank you.

Xiang Yu nodded calmly, but his heart was filled with joy. This felt completely different from studying with his old friend.

At the same time, the doors of the Interstellar Peace Hotel opened again, and the group stepped into the lobby amidst the doorman's invitation.

Those who came included men and women, young and old, but without exception, they all exuded an imposing aura.

After being warmly greeted by the lobby manager, the older man in the main seat found a place to sit down.

Meanwhile, his female assistant walked toward the front desk with the clatter of her heels.

..........

Chapter 261 Turmoil

"Hello, I'd like to order a private room on one floor."

The female assistant had an indifferent expression. She placed her hand on the side of her glasses, and projected an identity verification code into the air.

The receptionist looked up at the sound, her expression changing.

Xiang Yu and the others turned their heads to look, and saw a golden light shining brightly in front of them.
