Chapter 226 A crisis more serious than the cold wave
More than 700 years before Yao Luo descended on Yalilo VI, when he was still the first great guardian and even before the city builders of this planet were born, the authorities of Yalilo VI borrowed a loan from the Interstellar Peace Company in order to deal with the invading antimatter army at that time.

This resource came as a timely help, and was used to build a "wall" that could resist the antimatter army. It even later withstood the star core cold wave that swept the world, allowing Beloberg to get a chance to breathe in front of the army.

The construction materials and funds involved were not something that Yalilo VI could afford at the time.

As the core of the star exploded, Yalilo VI's contact with the outside world was completely cut off, and the company classified this investment as a "bad debt."

In other words, this "debt" is real and remains a problem to this day.

And now…………

"【Are you threatening me?"

In an instant, Newgaiman, who had just secured victory, was shaking all over and could hardly utter a complete sentence.

"Shit! What kind of monster is this?!"

Cursing in his heart, Newgaiman even suspected that the "emotion regulator" prosthesis he bought was a fake. The buyer clearly said that this device could adjust the secretion of all hormones and dopamine in the human body and could control one's emotions 100%.

But in front of this person, just a look or a word from him was enough to make him fall apart. Deep down in his heart, he no longer had even the slightest thought of resistance.

"No, no, I just hope you can reconsider..."

Using all his strength, Neugaiman supported himself on the chair with his weak arms and pieced together a relatively complete sentence.

"You are no longer qualified to speak."

Yao Luo no longer looked at him, a glazed light flashed in his eyes, and he was going to look for the information he needed himself.

As the light emerged, Newgaiman's body, which seemed to be falling apart, suddenly stood up like a puppet being controlled by someone.

For a moment, Yao Luo's eyes focused and he tapped his fingers on the table.

No, there was no extra information. The guy in front of him didn't know any extra information at all. Even the words he used to communicate with Yao Luo were sentences that had been carefully deduced by the company.

Just when Yao Luo was about to return in vain, Newgaiman, an ordinary company employee, actually raised his head without Yao Luo's permission.

"?"

Yao Luo was secretly alert. He found that the moment Newman raised his head, his face under the black hair changed again, and his temperament was completely different.

"It seems that Mr. Yao Luo and my staff have had some minor conflicts in the communication of the contract."

The "voice" became deep and steady, as if someone was having a conversation with Yao Luo across thousands of miles through Newgaiman's body.

"Who are you?"

Yao Luo's eyes were burning. Only then did he realize that the guy in front of him was just a bridge and a stepping stone for the company to communicate with him.

"Haha, could you please restrain your strength, Mr. Yao Luo? After all, this employee is the only person on this immortal boat who is qualified to communicate with you. It would be a bit troublesome if he is damaged."

The "voice" referring to this employee does not sound like it is talking about a person, but more like describing a product or an object.

Unlike the complacency that Newman inadvertently reveals, the posture of "Sound" is more like a disc running smoothly on an elegant vinyl record player.

Yao Luo restrained his aura, and at the same time he was secretly using his mental power to search for the person behind this guy. Now he was sure that this guy was at least not on the immortal boat Luofu, but was communicating with Yao Luo in a farther place.

"Well, compared to boring business, I think your attitude is more important than the value of this planet."

The "voice" opened its arms calmly, as if trying to make its words more convincing.

"You actually call the future of a planet "boring"?..."

With burning eyes, Yao Luo stared directly at the controlled being in front of him, trying to find some clues from it.

Faced with Yao Luo's questioning, the "voice" remained unmoved, and it could even be said that it agreed very much.

"Is it that difficult for a being like you to change the ecology of a planet?"

The "voice" asked Yao Luo back, then slowly picked up the teapot in front of Yao Luo and poured himself a cup.

Standing on tiptoe on the base of the white teacup, he took a sip with an experienced posture, and the "voice" expressed his appreciation skillfully.

"Luofu's tea is still as delicious as usual, but..."

While speaking, the "voice" was scanning Yao Luo through Newman's eyes.

"It was like this seven hundred years ago, and it was like this five hundred years ago, and it still tastes like this today. Is this also a side confirmation of "failure"? "

Yao Luo understood the implication between the words. On the surface, the "voice" referred to the tea in the cup in front of him, but what he actually meant was Yalilo VI, which had not had any contact with the outside world for seven hundred years!
"You don't think you have the authority to pass judgment on the billions of people on that planet?"

"Hey, Mr. Yao Luo, you are too serious. It's just a small debt. It can't affect the future of a planet. Besides, with the help of the company, Yali Luo VI will return to its heyday much faster."

The "Voice" cleverly avoided Yao Luo's question and shifted the topic to a more realistic issue.

"In other words, how long will it take for Yalilo, which has been eroded by the star core, or another seven hundred years, before they can get out of the ice field? Don't you want to see what the planet looked like before it was frozen?" "Don't change the subject!"

Yao Luo struck the contract in front of him fiercely. Regarding the mortgage section, it was indeed written that the company would help Yalilo VI recover from the impact of the star core and would even provide a large number of jobs and financial support.

But, everything has a price.

The prerequisite for receiving assistance is that every current citizen on this planet, including children born in the future, must join the corresponding department of the company after adulthood and support the revival of the great Amber King.

This is equivalent to saying that the future of the entire planet will be in the hands of the company. A child’s birth, growth, and even death may follow the path planned by the company.

"It seems that Mr. Yao Luo's attitude towards the company has some subtle errors, so let's not discuss this issue."

"As long as you are willing to provide some "insignificant" help to the company in the next important stage, then not only will the historical debts on the Yalilo VI be written off, but we will also provide all the help mentioned in the contract free of charge."

"What do you think of this win-win situation?"

As the saying goes, there is an effect in the field of negotiation called the "broken window effect."

When you propose to break the roof of a house, the owner of the house will strongly object. But if you then mitigate your demands and suggest that you only need to make a window, the owner's attitude will not be so intense and he will agree to this condition.

Yao Luo could see that this guy had been setting a trap for him from the very beginning. He first angered him by acting like an ordinary employee, and then proposed relatively mild or even free conditions to achieve his goal.

However, Yao Luo had to fall into this trap, because no matter what, the debt was real. He had indeed discovered such an experience when he was discussing the history of this planet with Cocolia.

Of course, he also has hundreds of ways to refuse to acknowledge the debt, or even to circumvent it through some rough means, but it must be said that the company's experience in dealing with star core issues and even restoring the planet's economy is beyond his reach.

"I reject."

Yao Luo responded to this reply coldly. Even if he only needed to contribute his own labor, he could save the future of the entire planet. It seemed like a win-win situation and even a simple truth, but would it really be that simple?

But if he doesn't agree, won't the company interfere with Yalilo in other ways?
"Oh, that's a shame."

Although he said it was a pity, Yao Luo did not hear any related emotional fluctuations.

After being rejected by Yao Luo, there was no change of emotion on the face of "Voice". For a being of his level, he has witnessed too many separations of life and death, and his heart is harder than the alloy they developed.

"But I still believe that at some point in the future, our destinies will eventually intersect, Mr. Yao Luo."

The "voice" manipulated Newgaiman's face and forced a smile.

"Don't worry about it. As for the debt, I and the residents of Yalilo VI will find a way."

"Then we look forward to our debt collection specialists getting along well with you in the near future."

There were flashes of swords and verbal battles, but in the end, Yao Luo still couldn't find any evidence from the conversation.

After saying the last sentence, the "voice" slowly withdrew from this body along with the gaze. Until the end, he was still looking at Yao Luo through this body with an unpleasant look.

Yao Luo looked at the voice coldly until it left.

"thump."

Without support, Newgaiman collapsed on the table like the gristle of a lost skeleton, then opened his eyes dazedly.

"Hey, where's mine?"

Yao Luo took a look at this "poor guy". After learning the important news, it is common that the fate of a small person would not be good.

He was just a part of this conspiracy, a poor man who was driven and pushed to the front. Yao Luo's anger should not have been directed at him.

"You just had a nightmare. Now, you miss your family. Go, go home."

Their eyes met, and Newgaiman responded to Yao Luo's words in a daze.

"Oh, yes...family, I need to go home."

Yao Luo easily erased all of his recent memories about himself. Although he didn't know whether this would help him survive the company's crackdown, this was also part of Yao Luo's kindness.

Yao Luo stood up and left his seat, leaving him alone sitting on the chair in confusion, not knowing why he was here.

Coming to the fence, Yao Luo passed through the Jade Realm Gate that was still under repair and looked out at the universe from afar, or rather, at the planet where he first landed.

"Hey, Yalilo..."

He needs to go back.
