Chapter 64: Molten Remains Tomb
Seeing that Topaz was about to hang up the phone and abandon him.
Bai Heng tapped his earpiece lightly and quickly said,
"Wait a moment, Topaz. Are you really going to give up on your best friend so easily?"
Hearing this, Topaz took a deep breath and said word by word,
"Bai Heng, you scoundrel. Do you know who those two people you provoked are? Just considering them alone, one is a member of the Genius Club, and the other is the sword master of one of the Xianzhou in the Xianzhou Alliance.
"Either of them alone is capable of destroying a planet. Not to mention the forces behind them. Let's start with Ms. Ruan Mei. Even though the geniuses in the Genius Club like to be maverick, over so many years, she has accumulated quite a bit of connections to some extent.
"If you betray her, one day you may face the siege of several geniuses within the entire universe. Without mentioning those far away, will those few people in the simulated universe let you go?
"As for Jingliu, as the sword master of 'Luofu', she is backed by the entire Xianzhou Alliance. Although the Xianzhou Alliance will not break off relations with the Interstellar Peace Corporation for such a matter, with your current status in the company, the company will hand you over without hesitation if the Xianzhou asks for you.
"I also heard that Jing Yuan, the current 'God Strategist General' of Luofu, is Jingliu's disciple. The Seven Generals of the Imperial Bow are renowned throughout the entire universe."
As Topaz spoke, she became more and more fearful. She gently put down her crossed legs, and the transparent goblet in her hand reflected the various fluorescent colors inside the private room.
She held the phone on her shoulder and said,
"So I still suggest that you make a choice between the two as soon as possible."
After a moment of silence, Bai Heng said,
"Sorry, I can't do that in this regard. The specific reason is not convenient to tell." His tone sank, not looking like he was joking at all.
"You..." Topaz put her hand on her forehead and sighed, saying, "Bai Heng, since you are planning to have both, you have to bear the corresponding risks."
"I know. That's why I want to ask Director Topaz if there is any way to deal with this possible future love battlefield."
"What are you doing now?"
"What else can I do? Hide from both sides and temporarily keep them from knowing each other's existence. Wait until I have the ability to deal with this love battlefield, and then take the initiative to reveal it." Bai Heng said,
"However, since this is my first time being a scoundrel and I have no experience, naturally I need to find a strategist to give advice. It's best if it's a woman. After all, women understand women best. Among the women I know, the one most suitable to be in a neutral position is you, Topaz."
Hearing this, Topaz placed her goblet on the long table, got up and came to the balcony of the private room. Facing the gentle sunlight, she propped her chin with one hand and said,
"Bai Heng, although I am very happy that you trust me so much, I deeply resent your act of dragging me into this mess."
Bai Heng knew that Topaz was going to help him, so he chuckled and said,
"Perhaps I will have to ask you to help take care of the children then."
"Pah, scoundrel... I am planning to go to Jarilo-VI in ten days. At that time, you accompany me on a business trip, and then I will analyze it for you."
"Okay, I have arrived at the headquarters of the Interstellar Astronomical Society. I will arrange my schedule first, transfer the information about Jarilo-VI to you, and reply to you later."
....
Headquarters of the Interstellar Astronomical Society.
This is a titanium crystal building similar to a hemisphere. The exposed part on the surface reflects a bright silver light, which often makes people feel dazzling and scorching.
And the whole of this building is actually a complete silver sphere.
Its southern hemisphere is completely hidden underground.
It's as if a celestial body has fallen, and the lower half of the celestial body has just plunged into the ground.
Bai Heng doesn't know which boring designer came up with this thing.
Although the creativity is good, the aesthetics and practicality are somewhat questionable.
After passing the identity verification at the staff entrance, Bai Heng walked in and greeted several familiar colleagues along the way.
Here, all formal staff members have reached a job level of P36 or above in the company. This is the minimum standard for working in Pielpointe.
In addition, there are assistants and personal teams brought by these staff members from the company's branches.
Before checking the next work schedule, Bai Heng first took the elevator to the database on the second floor, retrieved the information about Jarilo-VI, and transmitted it to Topaz.
This is actually one of the most common tasks of the Interstellar Astronomical Society.
If the Interstellar Astronomical Society must be classified under the company's system, then it is responsible for the preservation of all knowledge in the universe.
The Interstellar Astronomical Society is responsible for observing, understanding, exploring, deconstructing, and collecting, summarizing, and organizing knowledge about star deities or more fundamental knowledge.
The Learned Society is responsible for spreading this knowledge.
It can be said that the Interstellar Astronomical Society can also be called an interstellar library or interstellar database.
From star deities and the rules within the universe to an ordinary physical formula, all are included.
The daily work of the staff members of the Astronomical Society is to collect knowledge from every corner of the universe and repair forgotten and disappeared knowledge from ancient times.
The nature of the work is somewhat similar to that of the Rememberers of the "Garden of Remembrance" to some extent.
As soon as Bai Heng finished his work at hand, he received a message.
[Edmond: "Xiao Bai, come to my office if you have time."]
"President? Isn't it possible that there's work again right after I just got back?" Bai Heng suddenly felt exhausted.
In fact, he was also planning to find a bar with Topaz after work to have a drink, or find a green club to have a spa and take a bath.
Now it seems that it will probably be ruined again.
Leaving the database, Bai Heng immediately came to the fifth floor of the Interstellar Astronomical Society, where the office of the president of the Astronomical Society is located.
Because President Edmond gave him a special access card, Bai Heng had almost no obstacles along the way and quickly pushed open the door of the president's office.
This is a room of several hundred square meters. Through the curved one-way glass, one can clearly overlook thousands of acres of green fields outside the Astronomical Society.
In front of the curved floor-to-ceiling window tens of meters away from the curved glass, an old man with graying temples is sitting in a wheelchair, looking sideways out of the window.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Edmond turned his head. His wolf-like emerald eyes narrowed and he showed a smile to Bai Heng.
Bai Heng naturally walked forward, came to Edmond, and nodded slightly,
"President."
"Well." Edmond smiled and nodded, indicating that Bai Heng should push him to the sofa.
Since Edmond has always taken care of Bai Heng, Bai Heng is not restrained in front of him. While pushing the wheelchair, he chatted with Edmond about daily life.
After arriving at the place where there are rows of vertical bookcases and sofas on the left side of the office, without Edmond's reminder, he sat on the sofa beside the other party on his own and poured two cups of tea.
After the small talk was over, Edmond asked,
"Xiao Bai, did you listen to this morning's Interstellar Peace Broadcast?"
"I listened to it." Bai Heng held the porcelain cup with one hand and said,
Although the news about the Ruan Fan Association in this morning's Interstellar Peace Broadcast was the most headache-inducing for him.
But it has to be said that the other few news items are also of great importance.
For example, the Molten Remains Tomb related to Sam of the Star Core Hunters, and the Harmonic Grand Ceremony held once every Amber Era by Pinocchioni.
"Well." Edmond nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly,
"In fact, I called you here this time because of the Molten Remains Tomb."
Listening to that old and slow voice, Bai Heng knew that he was probably going on a business trip again, so he said with a wry smile,
"President, it can't be that I am the one sent by the Astronomical Society to record the Molten Remains Tomb again this time."
Edmond had a kind smile on his face and a calm expression. He said,
"Originally, I was going to do some psychological preparation for you. But it seems that you are already prepared."
