"Himeko-nee! They bullied me!" March 7 cried out, but her tears were swallowed by the chocolate.

Xing and Qiong are planning to escape, and these two instigators of the war bear at least 50% of the responsibility. The other 50% is entirely due to Hua Wu's kick.

"You are...Little March?" Himeko almost didn't recognize March Seven looking like this.

"What's going on? Walter, do you have any clues? Wait, where did Danheng go?"

"Danheng...I don't think I noticed, he might have left."

“He left very early, like a gust of wind.” Hua Wu also came over, his clothes covered in mud.

"Himeko-nee! It was him! He suddenly kicked us, and that's how we ended up." March 7's words were like a sickle, slashing directly at Hua Wu's neck.

Hua Wu disdained to argue; he simply agreed, having done it, he said, "I only made a slight move, yet you were defeated. This is the loneliness of the strong..."

"Look, he's still showing off!"

In this brief moment, Qiong had already begun her escape. Xing, however, was different; she knew the idiom "to settle scores later."

Running away fast doesn't guarantee victory; reporting your allies is the key to success. As long as a scapegoat is found, only one person will be hurt in this situation.

"No, actually this is Qiong's problem. Look, he's afraid to admit his mistakes and he's run away. He's the one who started this war." Xing directly betrayed his ally.

The date March 7th sounds reasonable.

"Oh yeah, it seems like he started it first. Wait, he ran away?"

"Yeah, it's gone. I'll go find it." Xing replied casually, then teleported away as a pixel block, leaving a clay shell behind.

The mud shell also fell to the ground due to the departure of the star and gravity, and the splashed mud stained Himeko's white dress with chocolate color.

Chapter 30 Topa: Let me sign this.

"Well, since they've all left, I'll go too."

Seeing that Hua Wu was about to use his dash, March Seven hurriedly shouted, "Wait, you can't go!"

Hua Wu looked at the chocolate warrior transformed from March 7th, and it seemed he knew the chocolate warrior's wish. "Oh, I see. The wind leaves no trace."

Hua Wu unleashed a burst of energy from his hand! In an instant, the energy carried away all the mud, and the invisible energy transformed into a high-pressure brown wind, blasting away the mud.

"Wow... couldn't you have used a gentler method?" March 7th felt as if her entire body had been elbowed 200 times in a single second, every bone aching. Although the pain wasn't intense.

"Yes, but I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."

"what?"

"I'll break you down into molecules, and then recombine them."

March 7th: ?

On March 7th, a brainstorming session immediately began: "What the hell is the difference between this and dismemberment? You call this gentleness?"

"I guess so, at least there's no physical pain. Although there might be a bit of psychological shock."

"Forget it, I can't understand it. I don't want to understand it either. I'm going to wander around Belleburg, and hopefully find a hotel to sleep in." March 7th left with brisk steps, not wanting to stay there for even a moment longer.

"Oh, I'm going to enjoy a beautiful night first, and I'll check on Toppa's work progress tomorrow." As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Wu disappeared from the spot, and the little bit of dirt on his body fell off like raindrops.

Himeko watched this scene and felt that although Hua Wu was a bit of a god, at least he didn't do anything particularly outrageous.

"Aside from being a bit unconventional, there doesn't seem to be any major problem. By the way, Walter, what is this Toppa he mentioned?" Himeko vaguely recognized the name, but not much.

"According to Hua Wu, the company's non-performing asset liquidation expert came from an organization called the Stone Belt Youth Group. They seem to be subordinates of the company's envoy, 'Diamond,' because their conversation repeatedly mentioned 'Diamond' and 'Taravan.'"

Himeko's expression was somewhat complicated, because she had never heard of this organization before. "The Stone Belt Boys? Are you sure that's the name? I don't think this organization is listed in the think tank. Is it a hidden force within the company? But in my memory, the name Toppa is among the 'Stone Heart Ten,' could it be..."

Walter understood. If he wasn't mistaken, the Stone Belt Boys and the Stone Heart Ten were yin and yang organizations. Although the first name was ridiculous, it was possible that it was just a cover.

The more divine the organization's name, the stronger it is likely to be; this is a very common trope in anime.

“I remember the Stonehearts Ten, they’re from Diamond… wait, the Stonebelt Boys… Diamond…” Walter’s words overturned all his previous guesses.

Because he seemed to understand what the Stone Belt Boys Group meant.

Himeko understood immediately, "Walter, you don't mean that the Stone Heart Boys group means that Diamond is leading a boy group, right? That means all ten members of Stone Heart are very young?"

“That Toppa does look young, but there are many ways to live a long life in this universe.”

.......

Lower Zone – Mechanical Settlement –

"what....."

"Ouch....."

"I'm going to die..."

"The intruders are bullying us..."

Everywhere you hear the cries of homeless people, not for any particular reason, but simply because they feel that a bag of rice and a bucket of oil are not enough; they want everything.

Then the company used its technological prowess to overwhelm them; their shovels and muskets couldn't even penetrate their defenses.

But the company's shotguns and halberds are 100% effective at penetrating defenses. Even if those company employees only use their elbows, one elbow is enough to make these people bleed from the head.

They don't even realize how outrageous the acceptance rate is—less than ten people can be selected from a whole planet.

Add to that the interstellar technology mech that can be used by a single person and costs as much as 1000 million credits, and these people can fight them head-on.

Every employee in the company is an elite from their own planet, so dealing with these thugs is a piece of cake.

50% of the homeless people got to eat braised pork knuckle. The remaining 50% ran away faster and didn't get to eat it.

Those 50% belong to the group that travels the slowest, but are the group that runs away the fastest.

Di Huo has agreed anyway. Development? Develop whatever you want, as long as you don't collapse this place.

This exchange rate is much higher than the exchange rate offered by the upper-level area.

100 jin of earth marrow is equivalent to two bags of rice, or it can be exchanged for 40 jin of meat products.

With this exchange rate, they can mine for 22 hours a day and use the remaining two hours to repair tools, which doesn't matter to them.

They were not entirely satisfied with one particular point, which was the hygiene issue raised by Toppa.

Because they really didn't want to do this thing, the lower level didn't even have a decent broom.

Seele couldn't take it anymore; this cleaning work was too grueling. She threw down the company-made broom she was holding and was about to head to the mine when Oleg stopped her.

"Trouble, boss, can't we just not do this?"

Oleg simply retorted, "You ate the white rice, didn't you? And you ate the dried meat too, didn't you? Now you don't want to work?"

She'd much rather be mining than sweeping the streets here. She pressed on, "Then why can't we go mining?" It seemed that if she persisted a little longer, she might be transferred to mining.

Oleg calmly explained, "That's the miners' job. We at Dihuo are an organization that maintains order. But the order in the mine has been taken over by others. So what can we do but sweep the streets here? They even give us two bags of rice a day. If you don't sweep, I'll have someone else sweep."

"I..."

"Also, there are only a few mines. If those homeless people hadn't been so foolish as to offend them, there would be a bunch of miners here sweeping the streets with you."

"Huh? Those lazy bums? I don't want them eating this stuff too."

"Oh...you."

.........

Cripper Fortress —

"Yes, the plan is well-organized. After solving the problem of food and clothing for the indigenous people, the next step is to talk about the labor force."

"Yes, thank you for your help with Belloborg. I have no objections to the terms of the contract. But... why is there snow outside Belloborg..."

"This is the result of Deputy Director Wei's influence, so there's no need to worry."

"Furthermore, according to the supplementary clauses of the contract... Hmm? They also embezzled the land outside?" Toppa took a closer look at the contract and found it outrageous. The company only pocketed 8%, and the most important management rights were still with Hua Wu.

At this moment, Topa said: Let me sign this.

Chapter 31 Corporate Technology, Wanderers!

“Wait, this contract is wrong… Miss Bronya, I need to contact my boss…” Topa was somewhat surprised, because this clause was added on the side.

She had a plan for those snowfields when she set foot on Yalilo.

She originally planned to build a snow park, but now the place has been turned into a mud pit.

The management authority still rests with the deputy manager of the neighboring logistics department, who has already partially resigned.

If this deal goes through, I'll be demoted when I get back. If it doesn't, I'll still be demoted when I get back.

As for what Hua Wu said to Diamond about losing money, Toppa didn't know; Diamond hadn't told her. So she assumed she was the one paying for it, and by that logic, she was losing money no matter what.

Unless she can persuade Hua Wu to return to the company, this is a losing proposition, and of course she won't give up the contract for that reason.

Filled with doubt, she walked out of the High Guardian's office.

I sent the existing document information to Emerald and made a phone call to ask Emerald for some suggestions.

"Oh? It's Yelena. What do you need?" Emerald's voice came through Toppa's earphones, her lazy voice carrying a hint of surprise.

“Yes, Ms. Emerald, I have some questions about this contract.”

"Hmm, let me see... This is a big problem. This Wei... wait, that person has been found?" Emerald was surprised. The person who resigned the fastest in history, and also the one who held the highest position at the time of resignation, had actually been found by Toppa.

"Yes, we found them, but they made it clear they didn't want to go back to the company."

"Is that so? Then there's nothing we can do, Yelena. This contract... it's a trap for the company."

"trap....."

"Hmm, a trap. It's a trap that seems a bit too simple. I don't think its target is the land of this planet."

"So his purpose is..."

"He's settling accounts, or rather, he's cleaning up the mess for this planet. The contract itself isn't important; what matters is how much influence the company can gain from him because of it."

Topa hesitated for a moment: "So...direct cooperation?"

Emerald's gentle voice rang out: "Yes, of course. Your most frequent saying, 'Focus on the long term and let go of the short term,' is the secret to success. Don't worry, if there are any losses, I'll make up for them. I wish you a successful cooperation. Goodbye, Little Yelena."

Emerald hung up the voice call, leaving Toppa with a sudden realization.
