Even among those at the same level, there are varying levels of seniority. Bryce's seniority is definitely higher than Toppa's. The market development department is already stronger than other departments, so sending him over was a sure thing.
After the starship circled halfway around the planet Arillow, it gained an understanding of the planet's current environmental conditions, which Bryce found very satisfactory.
"Aside from the earth marrow minerals, given the current state of this planet, with a little development, it could become a pretty good tourist attraction."
Bryce looked down at the landscape, where ice and life coexisted, and squinted slightly.
"Maintaining the status quo might be better."
Ice and snow can be a distinctive feature of Yalilo. If all the ice and frozen soil were to merge, Yalilo would not be much different from other landscape planets.
As for whether exposing half of the frozen environment would cause trouble and impact the locals, that was not within Bryce's consideration.
This has always been the guiding principle of the Market Development Department: as long as these 'wilderness' areas connect with civilized companies, it's a win-win situation.
Yalilo reconnects with the interstellar community and returns to the company, securing a brighter future and winning.
The company acquired the Earth Essence Ore, the industrial and cultural value of the planet Yalilo, and its human resources, thus winning.
"What were the test results?"
The automatic door opened with a low electromagnetic hum and the sound of metal tracks sliding. Bryce, maintaining his downward gaze towards Belloberg, asked without turning his head.
"Boss, the technical department has confirmed that the device does not match any of the planet terraforming devices currently available in the Pan-Galaxy Market."
An employee walked up behind Bryce and said respectfully:
"Based on the analysis of the scan results, its technological level is classified as B+ in the interstellar civilization rating, which is equivalent to a medium level."
The employee pulled up the holographic projection data, a parameter list glowing blue, "but strangely..."
Bryce raised an eyebrow: "Get to the point."
"Yes!"
The employee hurriedly zoomed in on a set of data streams marked in red. The image revealed a light green gem, which was the inactive core of the Lawbringer from Earth's pre-apocalyptic civilization.
"The technology used in the core energy module has no corresponding record in the known technology tree of our civilization."
Bryce finally turned around, his gaze falling on the holographic projection. After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded: "I understand."
"Boss, shall we launch an attack?"
"I asked the employee."
Bryce felt it was better to leave the environment of Arillow as it was, and he had previously considered shooting down the satellite that was working to restore Arillow's ecosystem.
That's how aggressive the market development department is!
Of course, no one who can reach this position is stupid. On his way here, Bryce had someone investigate Ariello's background.
With the help of pioneering forces, the civilization managed to escape the apocalyptic planet by chance. However, the civilization was unable to even leave its home planet, and the satellite used to repair the planet's ecology was definitely not made by Beloberg.
Or is it a legacy left from a prosperous civilization hundreds of years ago?
In short, with Belleberg's current level of technology, they can't even touch the sky.
Even if he directly destroyed the satellite with firepower, Belloberg would still have no idea what had happened.
Bryce can deny it and insist that he knows nothing about it, but what if he admits it directly?
Even if the satellite is optically invisible, and the starship failed to detect it during its journey and accidentally collided with it, Bryce could even demand that Ariello compensate for the damage the satellite caused to the starship!
Bryce could easily come up with a dozen or so similar reasonable reasons.
After that, the company can propose a project to 'rebuild the planet's ecosystem'.
At that time, by using technological means to preserve the current state of the planet Arillow as a means of promoting the planet as a travel destination and as compensation for the project to rebuild the planet's ecology, Belloberg will be naturally acquired by the company.
If it weren't for the discovery of the unknown core energy module, Bryce would have already given the order to fire.
Now...
"Cancel direct fire targeting and set up explosive devices to follow the satellite trajectory."
After a moment's thought, Bryce gave the order.
The value of that unknown core energy module is currently fixed, but based on the current analysis, it is definitely not low, and it may even contain a whole technology tree.
Destroying it directly would be wasteful. We should talk to the leaders of Belloberg first. If we can force them to comply with the debt, then the satellite will become the company's property and can be taken back for research.
The explosive device was installed as a precaution in case of an accident; Bryce would then detonate the satellite and activate Plan B.
"Yes!"
The employee nodded and bowed, then immediately turned and left to carry out the boss's orders.
Carrying explosives with the power of a small nuclear bomb, a small spacecraft detached from the starship and flew in orbit following the Fourth Divine Key.
Once Bryce was alone in the office, he turned and looked down at the increasingly impatient Belloberg, tapping his earpiece to dial Toppa's number.
Although the rivalry between the Market Development Department and the Strategic Investment Department is well-known, they still have to maintain appearances, especially since they need to hand over the project to Toppa, which is a necessary procedure.
……
In Cliftonburg, Toppa is visiting the political heart of Belleburg today as a distinguished guest, discussing the details of investing in Jarillo with Bronya.
To apply to become a venue for the interstellar victory ceremony, you need to submit materials and procedures, which must be reviewed by the corresponding project team.
Bronya only needs to provide the required information; the application and subsequent review process are handled entirely by the Topa team.
The members of the pioneering team are working separately today; Hacker is researching ether replication and printing technology.
Big Seele needs to work. Seele regains control of her body, separates Black Seele using the Tiger Talisman, and plays with Black Seele, Hook, and Clara.
Lolita girl sticker group!
The celebratory atmosphere grew stronger, and Xing and March 7th started their crazy party mode. Qiong really wanted to take out the star core from Xing's body and put it into her own body, because the star core's enhancement to her physique was too obvious!
Normally, he's suppressed by Xing, but even in a 1v1 situation in bed, he can't suppress her and ends up being ridden by her instead.
As the saying goes, there are no fields that can't be plowed properly, only oxen that have died from exhaustion. This field also contains a star core treasure, turning what was already an extraordinary field into a spiritual land.
Fortunately, Qiong wasn't fighting alone; he had plenty of energy!
Secondary Silverwing and Land Duck fuse using the Tapora Earrings, a combination of two bodies and three hearts. The biggest difference between their previous fusions and other fusions is probably their appearance after fusion.
Normally, the combined appearances of the two would create a new image, but since the two combined elements have highly similar appearances, the combined image will not undergo a radical change.
Even her name is still Bronya.
But Qiong and Xing were still very excited. The combined Bronya had a 95% resemblance to the two ducks, and her appearance was improved by 5%.
Don't be fooled by the low scores; out of 100, 96 and 101 are two completely different things!
The extremely subtle power of reason remaining within the Secondary Silverwing grew to a level exceeding that of the Youthful Hata Rabbit after the fusion.
Black stockings, white stockings, fishnets, nurse outfits, teacher outfits, JK uniforms, and all sorts of toys appear effortlessly.
Qiong and Bronya, in her half-female form, joined forces to defeat the Star Core Spirit.
The ridiculous thing is that when that guy woke up today, he was still full of energy and went out to play wildly with March 7th. It took Qiong some snacks to recover before he came back to his senses.
Resting her head on the plump, milky-white lotus legs of the secondary silver wing, Qiong enjoyed the massage of her fragrant, soft little hands. The ripe duck was truly an irresistible poppy!
Even though I wanted to stuff my penis inside last night, I'm still very aroused today.
Stars, too, wearing various flags and posing statically, are beyond just being described as stunning; they are the very word to describe the word 'stunning'.
Damn, so beautiful and adorable!
How can you be so beautiful and charming!
Just as Qiong was indulging in his narcissism, he saw Toppa, who was communicating with Bronya, stop, raise his hand to signal to Bronya, and then press his earpiece.
From that evasive attitude and occasional sharp words, one can easily deduce the identity of the person on the other end of the communication.
"Are you here?"
Qiong sat up, stretched, hugged the duckling, and took a big sip.
Before this action, Secondary Silverwing activated automatic combat, handing control over to Little Duck, and then returned to the Honkai World.
"..."
Feeling the gentle yet fiery breath, Little Duck wanted to curse him as a pervert, but that didn't fit Silverwing's character, so she could only continue to smile.
She's used to being difficult, and besides, she already tried those shameful games last night.
Who would have thought that beneath Rand Duck's dignified exterior lay... a heart of darkness.
There is no doubt that Silverwing's actions caused Rand Duck's reputation to be damaged.
Five minutes later, Toppa hung up the communication, chuckled, and looked at Qiong and the two 'Great Guardians':
"Get ready, we've arrived. The man here is Bryce. Would you like me to introduce his resume?"
Topa didn’t mind giving information about his colleagues to Sora and Bronya.
PS:
Chapter 462 Turning the tables.
After a system-wide operation, the starship landed on a large open area outside the expanded city of Belleburg.
After Toppa proposed the Ether Front project, Bronya immediately issued a written decree designating an area as a ship port for the future docking of starships used to transport game players.
Of course, Bryce was unaware that the staff in charge of piloting the ship simply saw that this was the closest place to the city and could be used to park starships, so they drove straight here.
"Boss, we've arrived."
"Ah."
Bryce turned and strode forward: "That little girl in the strategic investment department is still so naive. Ha, let me see what's so special about this planet."
Standing on the extended escalator, Bryce could see the local civilization soldiers standing guard below.
Leading the group was a blond young man clad in silver armor, exuding an air of grandeur and possessing an air of composure and aloofness.
"Greetings, my name is Jepard Landau, and I am the Chief Guard of the Silvermane Guard in Belloberg. Please state your identities and purpose."
Jepard first introduced himself, and then began to communicate in accordance with the procedure for dealing with outsiders, neither humble nor arrogant, but with a hint of wariness.
Bryce maintained his professional, businesslike smile, but his businesslike tone couldn't hide his arrogance.
"I'm Bryce from the Market Development Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation. I'm taking over from my colleagues in the Strategic Investment Department to execute Yalilo's debt project. You should have dealt with her before, right?"
"Market Development Department..."
Jepard attended the welcome party for Starry Sky's return last night, but due to the upcoming celebrations and the need to maintain order, he only stayed in the villa's courtyard for half an hour before leaving to work.
The High Guardian had informed him after the banquet that senior executives from other departments of the company might be visiting soon. Jepard was somewhat prepared, but his expression still turned serious.
Indeed, Toppa's initial arrival in Beloborg was also received by Jepard.
The two men, however, have completely different styles.
Toppa positioned the starship far from the city center, then approached Belloborg by vehicle, entering the city through the main gate.
But Mr. Bryce, in front of them, went straight to the outer area that was being built. If there had been a suitable place to dock in the inner area, Jepard suspected that he might have even driven directly into the inner area.
Although the other party was polite on the surface, their behavior revealed an undisguised domineering and arrogant attitude.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bryce. I need to inform the High Warden before I can take you into Beloborg.”
Jepard glanced at the fully armed guards behind the silver-clad, silver-haired man and frowned slightly.
"No need for that. This can prove my identity. It's an identity verification that is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to forge."
Bryce's tone remained gentle as he pointed to the medal hanging on his chest.
This is both an honor and proof of his senior position in the Market Development Department, something everyone in the StarCraft community knows.
"Feel sorry."
Jepard shook his head. Belloberg hadn't yet reconnected with interstellar life, lacked the 'common sense' of the galaxy, and was simply following the rules.
"The guys in the strategic investment department should have already told the leaders here that they actually sent someone who looks like a nobody to greet you."
"A team leader behind Bryce said angrily."
"These natives are so ignorant. Boss, you came here in person, and these guys are so arrogant. They don't respect you at all. Should we teach them a lesson?"
Team B leader Max immediately switched to sycophantic mode, staring at the Berlberg soldiers' equipment and mud-caked boots with utter disdain in his eyes.
