Chapter 290 Heavenly Palace
Chapter 290 Heavenly Palace
When Mingpo was about to go find Gao Fan, he discovered an unexpected inconvenience.
Although the black and white world has electricity and internet access, his hovercar is left outside!
With no other option, Mingbo had to consume one Time Copper to put himself into a manifest state.
I've never seen anyone have to pay out of their own pocket before receiving their salary!
He summoned the hovercar and went to find Ai Shiping first.
However, he wasn't in the office. Mingpo inquired and found out that he had already been picked up by a car.
That's normal.
If they woke up at the same time, Ai Shiping must have walked much faster than him.
Mingper had to re-investigate the Dionysian Shrine and outpost, and re-synthesize his new title, even fainting once in the process. After that, he had to create his own portrait, greet the "Skull of Gul'dan" on the table, and then there was the car ride... It had already taken more than an hour. Ai Shiping didn't have any of this to do, so he definitely wanted to leave much earlier.
but……
"Is he being transferred?"
Mingpo was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, Section Chief Ming!"
A young woman with obvious signs of alteration on her face responded enthusiastically, "Chief Ai is going to headquarters tomorrow!"
This surprised Mingpo somewhat.
To ensure that agents are evenly distributed across different locations and can arrive at all locations as quickly as possible, and also to conceal their identities, agents are generally not easily transferred from their departments to unfamiliar places.
That makes it easier for people to be wary and makes it harder to carry out work.
but……
Which department?
Mingpo asked.
Actually, when she asked the question, Mingpo already had a general idea of the answer.
And the answer was exactly as Mingpo had predicted:
"Don't you know? It's in the Execution Department."
"...I see."
Mingpo nodded slowly, and gave her a rare smile: "Thank you."
The other party was immediately flattered.
This ruthless individual may not be well-known outside the company... but within the Gao Group, this youngest section chief in the history of the Executive Department is quite famous.
When the creatures from the Forgotten River crossed the border last time, Mingpo was sent to the ruins to collect evidence of their crimes.
Wangchuan Biotechnology became extremely anxious and dispatched its executive department to intercept Mingpo.
As a result, Minpo, driving an airship without heavy weapons, destroyed all three armored vehicles on the other side, and wiped out three six-man squads by himself without taking any damage.
Mingpo returned with complete evidence of the Wangchuan Creatures' live experiments, where they abducted people from the Nest City to extract and suppress memories. In less than a day, the video spread throughout the six major sectors... Along with the video of the Wangchuan Creatures sending three fully armed squads to violently intercept and kill them, only to be routed by Mingpo, the Wangchuan Creatures became a complete laughing stock.
That happened two months ago, and the aftershocks haven't completely subsided even now.
Although Mingpo in the video was obscured, appearing as a dark blur to outsiders, everyone within the Gao Group knew exactly who this killing machine was. His reputation was earned through sheer brutality.
Before today, Mingpo was known for his arrogant and aloof personality.
Not to mention such a low-level clerk, even Minister Mingpo doesn't give them much face.
After all, he was just a minister; it's not like he hadn't killed people before.
Of course, internal company punishments are usually more dignified. Unless the higher-ups are really desperate, they are usually "accidents" such as "accidentally getting an electric shock from the prosthetic body while showering" or "getting too excited while visiting a dancer."
As for why the highest level of corporate medical insurance didn't take effect, don't ask.
But just as the other party was about to flatter Mingpo in a high-pitched voice, Mingpo ignored him and turned away.
Since Ai Shiping has been transferred from Gaotian Infrastructure to Gaotian Life Headquarters, he no longer needs to come to Gaotian Infrastructure.
It should have been done a long time ago!
However, Ai Shiping's personality was too soft and kind, and Mingpo was unwilling to force him to do the dirty work of the executive department.
He feared that his hard-won friend might accidentally break down due to work pressure and moral crisis, resorting to a tug-of-war with his neck against the ceiling. This wasn't entirely impossible.
But now there's no need to worry.
Ai Shiping, a veteran who had fought in a world war, had lost all his previous kindness and consideration; he was as ruthless as a snake. Just now in the game, he had personally killed more than one person.
Even Mingpo himself didn't have that strong a desire to kill!
This made Mingpo very happy.
He doesn't care whether they turn evil or not, because no matter how evil they are, they won't be as evil as the capitalists above them.
But if you stop internal conflict and stop fighting with yourself, that's growth!
Following the address attached to the email, Mingpo drove to Gao Fan's location.
This is also why Mingpo insisted on driving here.
Because... that's a spire, you can't walk up to it.
There is no elevator in Central that goes directly to the Spire.
Passing through that transparent membrane, Mingpo's hovercar became noticeably quieter, and its speed decreased to a level where it wouldn't even cause a fatal accident. This also allowed Mingpo to see the scenery outside the window clearly.
Here, the sun shines brightly, the sky is blue with white clouds, and the trees and flowers are lush and green.
Even before the corporate war, most tourist attractions weren't this beautiful.
It's so beautiful it looks like it was photoshopped.
In a daze, Mingpo felt as if she were seeing the Yuanmingyuan before it was burned down... but in a modernized version.
...No, given the methods and interests of those charlatans, this might actually be a replica of the Old Summer Palace.
Here, Mingper's hovercar experiences almost no resistance, as if it's floating in the clouds.
When he was a child, Mingpo came here once, and he was terrified. He felt that his whole body was dirty, and he dared not touch anything. He even felt that the filth in his lungs was polluting the air here when he breathed.
The ground here is a "sea of clouds".
Just like the "Heavenly Palace" in the old-fashioned Journey to the West TV series, the airship is currently floating above the clouds. But although it is called an airship, it is now driving obediently in the designated lane.
This heavenly palace is not without inhabitants.
The board members of the eight giants, the highest-ranking con artists, and their families all live here.
When Mingpo came last time, she didn't even dare to look around, for fear of breaking a taboo.
This time, Mingpo became bolder.
He looked around and found that quite a few people were also looking at him curiously.
It was not the same arrogant and domineering atmosphere he had imagined, like that of a "Celestial Dragon".
The atmosphere at the spire is very harmonious.
The streets were sparsely populated, but everyone there was extremely handsome or beautiful. Their genes had clearly been sculpted.
Outwardly, they appear flawless. Some have gentle smiles, while others are serious and composed. Everyone seems quite easygoing... a kind of ease and tolerance cultivated when there is no pressure in life.
That posture made him look like a celestial being!
