Chapter 235 New Contract
"Please wait a moment! Your Excellency the Great Guardian!"

After hearing that unexpected answer, Topa couldn't help but interrupt Cocolia.

"If I heard you correctly, you used the word 'reject', right? No misinterpretation of the native proverb or any malfunction of my synesthesia beacon, right?"

"You heard the clear answer, Miss Toppa."

Yao Luo's voice came leisurely from the side. Yes, in Topa's eyes, if there was anyone who could easily shake the decision of the great guardian, it would only be him.

But why?
There was a puzzled look in Topa's beautiful eyes. The crimson V-neck and the badge of the Interstellar Peace Corporation on his chest were shaking constantly, disturbing Topa's heart at the moment.

If it was just an ordinary business deal, such a failure would not cause her any psychological fluctuations. With the status and identity of her company, she has long transcended the class of "trapped by money" and is now a "free person" who moves forward for her beliefs and her own will.

In this business, she saw that a planet with a similar situation to her hometown was getting out of trouble. This was a motivation for her that far exceeded the material and spiritual rewards.

However, a single word from the "Messenger" can change the fate of a planet and put Yarilo VI, which is about to gain "light" and "salvation", into crisis again.

Facing such an existence, Topal knew that he was powerless, just like his hometown facing the star core.

Why would Yao Luo do such a thing? Did I misjudge him?
Topa's heart was a little shaken. The contrast between Yao Luo's emotional shadow under the lamp yesterday and his leisurely appearance now formed a sharp contrast, which made Topa doubt whether he was meeting two people now.

"Please calm down, Miss Toppa."

At this moment, Yao Luo's next sentence was like a cold wind blowing from the Permafrost Ridge through the venue, blowing into the brains and thoughts of everyone present, brushing away the anxiety and confusion.

Topa suddenly felt a cool spot on his forehead, which then gradually spread to his entire body. His anxious mood was swept away completely, and his mentality returned to its best state.

"We are not as leisurely as you think. On the contrary, these are the most tiring days since I returned to this planet."

Yao Luo stood up, put his head in his hands, and looked back at Cocolia. Cocolia picked up the purple electronic component unfolded from the communicator on the table.

"In the past few days, I have studied the traps and loopholes in the contract word by word, but it took us a lot of effort."

Yao Luo's tone was lightly leisurely, and there was no trace of the tiredness in the "work" he mentioned.

Zooming in with two fingers, the content of the contract instantly enlarged to the size of a wall and displayed in front of several people.

The densely packed clauses and data were even more numerous than the books in the Great Guardian's room, neatly laid out in front of them like stacked bricks.

Yao Luo and Kokolia came to Topa and pointed to one of them.

"Please read this, Miss Toppa."

"Supplementary Interpretation Regulations 1076 of Article : During the process of Party A (Yao Luo) helping Party B (Interstellar Peace Company), if the assisted planet experiences a "re-eruption" of the star nuclear crisis, "excessive pollution", "extreme resource use", etc., the company may choose to carry out a certain degree of "evacuation and humanitarian care" after weighing the pros and cons to ensure the company's interests..."

Yao Luo stood in front of Topa, looking down at her and whispering in her ear.

"So, the company's 'assistance' is not 100% successful, right?"

Yao Luo's words made Topa's body stiffen, but he quickly stabilized.

After taking a deep breath, Topa looked directly at Yao Luo without fear and said faithfully.

"That's right. These things should not be concealed from you even now."

"The problem of the "star core" has troubled all forces in the galaxy for several Amber Ages since it appeared. Even the company's "Pan-Galactic Restoration Ordinance" has only a 60% chance of success."

"But Mr. Yao Luo, you can trust me. The success rate of the planets I have created is over 80%. Please give the people on this planet a chance."

After hearing what Topa said, Yao Luo did not answer immediately, but walked towards Cocolia and asked a question with his head down.

"Coco, will you allow your people to be placed in a 'dangerous future' controlled by numbers and probability, where they could fall into the abyss if they are not careful?"

"I won't."

Cocolia answered firmly. When she mentioned this question, the look she gave Topa was no longer as reserved as at the beginning, but full of firm belief.

"If the condition for giving the future is to put "people" and "hope" on the two ends of the scale and let me choose right or wrong, I would rather not do it."

The ice spear (the same one used by Stephen Chow) representing the identity of the great guardian appeared on the scene along with Cocolia's will. The ice was whistling, but Cocolia's eyes were burning like flames.

"My years of fighting spirit have taught me that 'probability' is not something that can be gambled on, but an 'authoritative number' that is squeezed out by repeated failures and the weight of life. But as long as this number is not 100%, we have no right to make choices for the people!"

"Ms. Topa, perhaps it is because of your long working experience in the company that you have developed the habit of using numbers and probabilities to analyze the current situation. But for a small planet like ours, behind every number may be a familiar name and friend around us."

Cocolia's tone was sincere, but it also revealed her determination to never give in.

"The conditions offered by your company are indeed very tempting. To be honest, even I was tempted for a moment."

"But behind this excitement, I shudder at the thought of the possible consequences of a one in ten thousand or one in a hundred thousand chance of 'failure'."

"As the rulers at the top of the planet, we have countless ways to escape the disaster and stay away from this planet compared to the common people at the bottom."

"But how is this different from what the rulers of your hometown, Miss Toppa, do?"

"You, have you investigated me too?" Topa lowered his head in deep thought since Cocolia began to express his will, and only responded when he heard something about his hometown.

"It's no big deal to know who you're dealing with."

Yao Luo chuckled at the side. On the communication interface of his communicator, a woman with fiery red hair was continuously inputting information into it.

If Sanyueqi and Xing were here, they would definitely recognize it. It was the portrait of Ji Zi, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train.

That's right, during yesterday's festival, Yao Luo really didn't have a moment of leisure. He used a "memory" to deal with Topa, communicate with him, and even had a small "Zuowang Dao"-style test.

The other "memory" returned to the train without stopping to meet Himeko.

Where is the real body? The real body is spending the holiday with Cocolia (laughs).

“So, to sum up, even if the conditions offered by the company are quite attractive, we will not entrust the future of the entire planet and its people to others. No matter how many obstacles there are, even if it takes another 700 years, we will, “clean up the house before inviting guests”, “start anew”…”

"Cough cough!"

Hearing the familiar words, Yao Luo's face immediately blushed. These were the words he and Cocolia used yesterday to explain why they could not accept the explanation of the company's regulations. He didn't expect that she would actually use them vividly.

Cocolia was interrupted by Yao Luo's cough and a puzzled expression appeared on her face. Could it be that the example she used was wrong?

"I understand what you mean, Your Excellency the Great Guardian."

Topa's IQ is not low, and Cocolia's example is also very easy to understand, but considering the current situation, he was able to make such a decision. Topa admitted that he had underestimated this great guardian before...

"Why---"

Topa sighed in her heart. At this point, she clearly understood that the deal had failed.

"So, we will not ignore or make excuses for the historical legacy of the Yalilo VI. We will face it head on."

“I believe that the value created by this planet in the future will far surpass the ‘past seven hundred years’!”

Cocolia finished her speech and Yao Luo added a few words at the end.

"I guarantee the development and future of Yalilo VI with my status as the "envoy".

"That's enough. In this case, I have an explanation to the company."

Topa breathed a sigh of relief. Although Cocolia's words touched her, it was Yao Luo's final guarantee that really made her relax.

"In that case, I won't disturb your festive mood. Oh, by the way, I'm new here, and I forgot to give you two gifts that are worthy of your status."

With a polite smile, Topa presented a gift wrapped in amber crystal.

"You're too polite. How can we accept gifts when you return empty-handed?"

Kokolia wanted to refuse the gift, but Yao Luo next to her changed his expression, as if he sensed something.

"Take it, Coco."

"Uh? OK."

Although Cocolia didn't understand the reason for Yao Luo's change of attitude, her intuition told her that it was right to trust Yao Luo.

After giving the gift, Toppa's slender figure turned and left, leaving only three people in the room.

"Isn't this a gift for my father and mother?"

Bronya chuckled on the side. She has now become proficient in calling Yao Luo "Father". In terms of teasing her own parents, it can be said that she has reached the pinnacle. The only thing left is to support the couple herself.

"Nonsense."

Cocolia tapped Bronya's head with a smile, causing the girl to murmur in dissatisfaction.

"Look, it's better to say that the company is being generous at this time?"

Yao Luo looked at the exquisite gift box in front of him with a strange expression, as if he could see what was inside through the interior of the amber.

"Yao Luo, what's in this?"

Cocolia opened the gift box with ease, her relaxed tone showing her happy mood. The elegant velvet decoration was used to protect the huge amber crystal.

This kind of crystal is not precious in the universe, but in a company that believes in the star god Amber King, it has an extraordinary "faith value" and can be said to be a high-level gift in diplomatic etiquette.

But Yao Luo's next words were shocking, which frightened Cocolia and her daughter.

"If everything goes as expected, what's inside is the system that can control all the automatic robots and all the mechanical equipment on the planet Yalilo VI..."
