From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

Si Ye looked at Jessica in front of him, who was visibly wilting, and his hand involuntarily touched her lowered head.

"However, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, whose primary purpose is to improve the conditions of the infected, still needs a group of operators with combat experience and mastery of biochemical protection skills. Coincidentally, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals is also my company, so if you are willing, you can join Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals and form a lifelong team."

Now, the backbone of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, except for Nyx's synths, are all old operators from the Tower of Babel era. Among them, there are quite a few combat operators who want to retire. However, as Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals expands, and in order to more conveniently enter those lawless areas to rescue the infected, the demand for combat personnel is increasing. The arrival of Black Steel International just fills the gap in this part of combat operators.

“Ah? Eh!!!”

If Black Gang International is just a well-known security company, then the rapidly rising Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals is the most famous company in the entire Terra continent in the past year.

The special medicine that almost cured the oripathy had saved countless lives. As a fellow infected person, Franka was naturally grateful to Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals.

"I...can we really join Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals?"

"Senior Franka, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals..."

Jessica didn't know much about Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals. She looked at the excited Franca beside her with some confusion.

"Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals is the best company on Terra right now. Their main purpose is to treat and improve the conditions of those infected. It's said that operators can even travel around on the company's land-based ships..."

Franca is a typical Colombian who loves to explore new things. She has been planning a travel list, but due to work and savings issues, the list is getting longer and longer, but she has no chance to realize it.

Realizing that she was getting a little carried away, Franka looked at Si Ye embarrassedly.

“…Um, Boss, I don’t mean to be lazy, it’s just…”

"You're quite good at climbing the ladder, calling me boss is quite easy. If you don't mind running around, why don't you apply to be a ship-based operator? I'll grant you permission."

Waving to Franka, Si Ye looked at Cliff standing beside him.

"How about this arrangement, as the former leader of Black Gang International, are you satisfied with it?"

"Thank you for your kindness."

Chapter 355 Return to Casimir

bang

The land trembled, and the industrial land allocated from the District of Columbia was docked on the outskirts of Tremont, and Rhode Island slowly sailed into the landship dock.

In order to meet the energy requirements for relocating all the sarcophagi in the Stasis Facility, Rhodes Island will undergo a complete and extensive renovation here.

However, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals still needed a mobile base to carry out treatment work for the infected. So next to the transformed Rhodes Island, the construction of the Radish's sister ship, the Little Apple, which was operated by synths, also began.

Si Ye placed construction modules in the Rhine Life Park, which had been expanded in size, and built the first long-distance transmission node and corresponding security facilities on the Terra continent. Once he built the boundary gate, this transmission node would allow authorized people to travel back and forth between the member states of the Terra United Council and the boundary gate, greatly facilitating travel.

"The liaison with the operators from Black Steel International will be left to you, Kal'tsit. I've granted you command authority for a small team of synths. If anything happens, you can suppress it directly based on the circumstances."

What could Kal'tsit say when Si Ye rushed into her office and gave her the order? She could only put aside the patient's medical records she was working on, and then took over the preliminary docking documents from Black Steel International and began to study them.

Colombia is governed by the President, and there is really nothing big that is worthy of Si Ye's long-term stay, so after arranging the construction plan of the land ship and the docking mission with Black Steel International, he decisively activated Casimir's beacon and went to look for the little Pegasus whom he had not seen for a long time.

...

“This isn’t right…”

After walking out of the psychic beacon, Si Ye did not sense Margaret's presence in Kavaleriaki, and went directly to the Order Management Association where Xinteleya was.

But when he quietly came to the Order Management Association and wanted to give Xinteleya a surprise, he found that the little Pegasus, who usually maintained a lazy state and did not want to go to work, was unexpectedly very motivated. He handled paperwork and directed the work at the same time, as if he was possessed by some dirty thing.

“…What are you busy with?”

The glass curtain wall of the office seemed illusory. Si Ye's figure twisted and he walked directly into Xinteleya's office.

"I said..."

The little Pegasus, who had not been seen for a long time, also developed a majestic aura without anger. It was obvious that Xinteleiya did not like to be disturbed when she was working.

But just as Xinteleya was about to speak out to emphasize her work habits, she felt that the voice of the person speaking sounded familiar. The little Pegasus suddenly looked up in joy and threw himself into Si Ye's arms like a cannonball.

"Si Ye! Humph! You rascal, you've been gone for several months..."

Xinteleya put her arms around Si Ye's neck, hung her whole body on Si Ye, and began to act like a spoiled child.

"I'm back now, and this time I'm going to build a stable channel on the Terra Continent, so I can travel freely between the Terra Continent and the Star Sea Empire."

Holding Xinteleya in his arms, Si Ye explained the purpose of his return and asked curiously:

"I just saw you working so hard. Isn't your dream to be a salary thief and travel around?"

"It's not your fault!"

Xinteleya buried her head in Si Ye's chest, muttering softly with a hint of resentment.

"...No, I can't blame you. Ahhh, after all, everyone is working hard to build a better Casimir. As the vice president of the association, I have to contribute. I can't just slack off all the time."

Apparently, even after several years of living a life worse than that of a corporate slave in the Wuzhou League, the shining points of the cute little Pegasus were not erased.

Xinteleya held Si Ye's head and shook it twice, venting the resentment in her heart, then bit Si Ye's mouth to vent her lovesickness.

"President of the Cintela Association, this document... I don't see anything!!!"

The female clerk who came to Xinteleya with the documents for approval was stunned where she was, looking at the man and woman kissing each other. After being at a loss for half a second, she quickly turned around and left the office.

"Well... we were seen... it's all your fault..."

The panting little Pegasus broke the silver threads at the corners of the two people's mouths. Although he was seen, the arms that were tightly wrapped around Si Ye's neck did not relax at all.

"It's my fault. As compensation, I wonder if the beautiful, kind-hearted Miss Xinteleya would be willing to grant me a candlelight dinner at the Wukari Restaurant."

"That's not enough! You still have to go shopping with me, and..."

Xinteleya listed the to-do list in Siye's ear. The space beside them began to distort as if a frame was pulled out. Black smoke dissipated and the people disappeared.

"President of the Xinteleya Association, are you still busy now? This document needs to be signed..."

Perhaps because Xinteleya had always been kind to others and had a good relationship with her subordinates, the clerk who ran away seemed unable to bear the gossipy mood in his heart, and quietly sneaked to the door of Xinteleya's office, wanting to see what was going on.

Unfortunately, the office was empty. Only a freshly-issued leave note, approved by Xinteleiya to Xinteleiya, fluttered in the wind and landed on the desk.

...

"…We've negotiated a bunch of business contracts, but there's been no news on how to join the Terran Unified Council. The chosen agent of the Linguang family has gone to inspect the other mobile cities of Casimir. The person currently in charge of the Cavaleliagi is the mysterious former Platinum Lord of the Unheir Alliance: Sintelaiya. But the visiting card I sent to them seems to have received no response."

In a high-end hotel in Kavaleriaki, a tall man named Filin with short hair fading from white to gray was curled up on the sofa, muttering to himself about the information he had recently received, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Boss, maybe you don't need to be so impatient. Or rather, Kjerag doesn't need to be so impatient."

Caprini, a blonde woman with huge horns, leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the newly renovated streets of Casimir with a complicated expression.

"As for the order given by the Duke Victoria, it wasn't a firm order; it was more like a casual move. She probably didn't expect Kjerag to actually get any useful information from Casimir."

"…Thank you for your reassurance. I know Kjerag is insignificant to a behemoth like the Terran Unified Council, but that's why I'm afraid. The weaker we are, the more cautious we must be. This change may be the key to Kjerag's rise or complete fall."

"So you actually came to Casimir because of Kjerag, and not because of the mission given by the Duke?"

Blonde Caprini wanted to ask, but shook her head and gave up. It was not her business to ask questions. It was pointless to waste her brain. She just needed to draw her weapon at the right time.

"Forget it... These aren't my business. Boss, just pretend I didn't ask."

"I don't really mind your worrying about it... Well, I hope there's some good news tomorrow. I hope Kalan Trade will catch the eye of Ms. Xinteleya."

...

Chapter 356: Night Talk with Casimir

"How is Casimir doing lately?"

The longing for each other after not seeing each other for several months, coupled with the hugs and kisses during the shopping trip, meant that Si Ye and Xinteleya's date plan was only half completed.

Afterwards, the weak and helpless Si Ye was taken home by the mad little Pegasus.

After a wild and reckless meal, in order to comfort Xintelaiya Siye, who was physically exhausted but mentally excited, he just stroked her smooth back and tried to find some topics that could help her fall asleep quickly.

For example, work.

"...Hmm, isn't it a bit strange to talk about work at this time... Never mind, I have to report these things to you tomorrow anyway."

Xinteleya leaned in Si Ye's arms, ignoring Si Ye's dishonest hands, and began to count the changes in Casimir over the past few months.

"...Overall, things have been going smoothly for Casimir these past few months. The expeditionary knights attacked and beat up the Ursus bears, effectively settling the feud between Ursus and Casimir. Thanks to the surge in public opinion, the nobles have resigned themselves to their fate and settled down completely."

"I heard from the President of Colombia that Colombia is cooperating with Casimir?"

"Rather than collaborating, it's more like being led astray... Those guys in the Trade Union truly deserve to die. They clearly possessed some advanced technologies, but they either hid them and didn't upgrade them, or simply abandoned them due to cost constraints."

Speaking of this, Xinteleya seemed to be very angry. If she were a normal person, no one would want her hometown to become better and stronger.

The factory was old, the workers were of different generations, and there were all kinds of technical problems. Casimir's weakness was actually all caused by his own people.

If Si Ye had not in disguise given Casimir a wave of blood when he crushed the Chamber of Commerce, Xinteleya couldn't imagine how bad Casimir's condition would be.

Compared with the monsters that were liquidated later, the Rose Newspaper reporter Kane who was hanged at the border was actually a normal person in the Business Federation. At least he really wanted to strengthen Casimir through commercial means, rather than just for those colorful banknotes.

"Due to the mutual assistance agreement reached by the Unified Council, Colombia agreed to license high-speed warship manufacturing technology to Casimir. However, when Raytheon Industries engineers came to Casimir to inspect the shipyard, they discovered that the outdated equipment simply couldn't meet Colombia's technical specifications. As a result, the technology licensing became technical support, and everything had to be done slowly. Russell's expression was extremely bleak during that time."

Cintela seemed to have thought of something and chuckled a few times.

However, the legacy of the Chamber of Commerce is still affecting Casimir, because by relying on the union to obtain regional monopoly rights, the companies in the Chamber of Commerce are truly masters of squeezing toothpaste and have no desire for progress.

They can hype up the knight competition by releasing a little technological breakthrough in several versions. Some technologies that are too breakthrough and cause a sharp increase in costs will be suppressed. Everything is based on profit.

That is to say, high-speed combat troops such as the War Knights and the Silver Spear Pegasus are difficult to deal with. In addition, the countries around Casimir are either in the process of division or working hard to govern and develop. Otherwise, Casimir would have been tossed into this mess by commercial alliances and would have become the second Gaul long ago.

"Actually, you can ask me for technical assistance. I can provide you with these technologies that are within the standard."

Si Ye and Nian had once made a land-based ship simply by relying on their power. This kind of thing without much technical content would not have much impact even if it was given away.

"Margaret didn't want it. She said that if Casimir wanted to grow, he had to rely on himself."

Cintrea frowned and stuck out her tongue, looking nonchalant.

"She ended up being so upset for days about the outdated basic technology and other issues. She even recently went out to urge other mobile cities to implement reforms, leaving me to toil away alone."

Although it is said to be hard work, Xinteleya is actually quite happy to do her job.

After all, a worker's work enthusiasm is generally related to the amount of salary. Margaret probably realized this from her uncle Mainna and applied it flexibly to Xinteleya.

Anyway, Casimir, which took over the assets of the Chamber of Commerce, had sufficient funds for the reorganization of the government and the implicit support of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals.
