"I want to be the most proud and powerful lone wolf king on the mountaintop!"
He no longer wanted to live a life of being bossed around by his superiors and working overtime like a beast of burden. He wanted to become a member of the company's board of directors!
He wants to be the supreme leader, second only to God and above all others!
His subordinates quickly reacted, swarming around Scott and showering him with flattery:
"Congratulations, team leader! Congratulations, team leader! I knew you were no ordinary fish; you would transform into a dragon once the winds and clouds blow."
"Team leader, you're on a roll! This Holy Grail is definitely yours! And when you get to the board of directors, don't forget to mentor the brothers!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this immense wealth is rightfully yours to claim!"
……
Pinocone, the company's headquarters.
Her long, purplish-pink hair cascaded down like silk, the ends curled with pale blue waves. She wore a high-waisted short skirt with lace trim and black stilettos, looking as aloof and glamorous as a thorny rose.
Like a viper queen in the business world, she exudes an aura of elegance mixed with danger.
Emerald, a senior executive in the Strategic Investment Department.
Although she is one of the ten people in the Stone Heart group, just like Topaz and Aventurine, Jadeite's status is actually half a level higher. She has the most seniority and the strongest skills.
"Interesting, an all-powerful wish-granting machine that can grant any wish... Doesn't it sound like some clumsy business scam? Or a trick that can only fool people in a backwater like Arillow-VI?"
Opposite to the jadeite, Sand Gold looked at the host on the screen, arms crossed, his tone carrying his usual flippant tone.
"What tricks is the family playing now?"
"It may not be the work of the family."
Do you really believe that an omnipotent wish-granting machine exists?
“Throughout the world, rituals that seize the power of destiny and achieve miracles are not uncommon.”
Jade gracefully crossed her long, jade-like legs, her fingertips lightly tapping the virtual screen.
"Isn't the loan agreement I sign with someone also a kind of ritual to help people's wishes come true?"
The legends of the borderlands are not unfounded.
Those in despair may petition the Interstellar Peace Corporation with the resolve to abandon everything.
A beautiful dancer pawns her lifespan to preserve her youthful appearance; a soldier from a fallen kingdom mortgages his emotions for the power of revenge; a greedy person sacrifices his memories for pure wealth… On the trading platform where Ciyu pawns his goods, the most unadulterated desires of humanity are written.
"The key lies in..."
Jade clicked on the "Wish Instructions," which was almost never read closely and resembled a user agreement. She lightly traced a few lines of text with her fingertip, highlighting them.
"The range of miracles that the Holy Grail can achieve... is somewhat unexpected."
Sand Gold leaned forward to look at the virtual screen that Jade was pushing towards him, and his smug expression froze when he saw the marked content:
"This... can it really be done to this extent? Why would a family bring out something like this? Even if it can attract customers, the cost-effectiveness is far less than keeping it for themselves, right?"
"so."
Emerald chuckled softly: "This so-called Holy Grail could never be a private possession of a family or the Primordial Heaven."
"And the person who can produce such a rare item that has never been seen even in the company's database..."
"Is it him?"
The gold dust was immediately apparent.
As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your rival. The feud between companies and families has a long history.
Thorough intelligence work was done before starting the Pinocone project investigation, but unexpected events were encountered repeatedly during the project execution.
All the unexpected events, which were beyond the company's intelligence and even comprehension, came from...
"Star Train, Starry Sky, huh?"
Jade's gaze slowly lowered, landing on the back of her hand where bright red lines had quietly appeared without her noticing. The red color looked particularly eerie against the backdrop of the lustrous jade bracelet.
"Perhaps this Holy Grail War will be an excellent opportunity to deepen our friendship."
……
Under the cover of night, the Shenghua Women's Hotel was filled with an invisible tension due to the frenzied posting of the "Sisters Who Love Each Other" group.
"Damn it!"
"That wretched little bitch! Showing off again!"
"What incredible luck! Why wasn't it me?"
"Little Maki, when will you ever look like her!"
"I can't take this anymore! Anyone want to team up and beat her up?!"
"Damn research apes, why aren't they in my area?!"
The incident started when Mari posted a photo in the group chat of her sweet date with Sora-sama—this time it was a candid shot of Sora-sama feeding her.
Countless Grammer girls gritted their teeth, burning with jealousy.
Some Grammer girls wished they could change their appearance to resemble Mari Makinami, since they were all clones of the Empress, with at least 80% similarity in appearance.
With a little embellishment, it can be mistaken for the real thing, then I can knock Mari's neck out, take her place, and go on a date with Princess Sora.
Mari Makinami seemed to realize that she had gone too far, that her boasting had provoked public outrage and made her the target of criticism, and hurriedly withdrew the photos.
But it was too late; the outcry against her had already spread like wildfire.
However, some Grammer girls did not participate in the extermination, not because they did not have keyboards.
Instead, there are all sorts of things.
such as.
Anna, originally designated AR-31415.
The name was given to her by Kiana.
The reason for this name is that after the Grammer girl awakened her self and was given a personalized makeover, AR-31415's appearance was extremely similar to Kiana's cousin, Anna Schariac, the Herrscher of Ice in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.
"Your Highness Qiong... Your Highness Qiong..."
At this moment, Miss Anna was lying in her room, snuggled in bed, her pink and blue eyes filled with a misty, alluring charm.
On her phone, she was watching a recording of herself and Princess Qiong from their last team battle.
And the photos I just saved, taken from Princess Qiong's first-person perspective of feeding her.
She murmured the name of the sky as she continued to chant a rhythmic magic incantation.
Among the trillion-level Granmer Ironclad Girls, there will always be some with extremely unique personalities.
Anna was one of them.
His obsession with the sky had reached an extremely serious and pathological level.
It seems that this extreme emotion caused bright red lines to appear on the back of her hand when she cast the spell, as if in response to her burning desire.

Volume 1: Chapter 729 The Black Tower Lady's Boundless Magic Power
Huichangshi.
"Is that damn cup blind?"
Her long, brown hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her black magic hat had a pointed tip.
The well-tailored black dress accentuated her beautiful curves, making her look like a magical girl from a fairy tale, but in reality, she was an ancient magical woman of unknown age.
The big black tower crossed his arms over his chest, his delicate face filled with displeasure.
"It's understandable that a doll can't be chosen as a Master. I've already condescended to come here in person, so why won't that broken cup choose me?"
"Yeah yeah."
Three unified, indignant voices immediately rang out behind the Great Black Tower.
"The great Lady Black Tower is the messenger of wisdom!"
Ms. Black Tower fully affirmed BOT1, hands on hips, speaking with righteous indignation:
"Nothing in this world can overshadow the wisdom of Lady Black Tower. To be unable to see such a radiant light is simply blind and utterly ignorant!"
"I can't see the light of wisdom, fine, but why can't I see the beauty of Lady Wei Tai's Black Tower, which shines as brightly as her talent?"
Ms. Black Tower nodded in affirmation as BOT2 blinked his big eyes, his sentence ending with a slightly hesitant pause, as if he had a slight stutter.
"This is a potential Pure Beauty Envoy, condescending to participate in the game, yet she doesn't even give Lady Black Tower a Command Spell! How ungrateful!"
Ms. Black Tower was completely certain that BOT3 was entirely distracted by the other sights in the room.
Her cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkled with heart-shaped bubbles, and her gaze was fixed on the group of black tower dolls dressed in black and white maid outfits and office lady outfits around the starry sky, as she let out a soft, intoxicated moan.
"Ah! There are so many cute girls like me here, all wearing super cute maid outfits."
"Ah! Is this heaven?"
She completely ignored the blank stares from the other Black Tower dolls.
"Ah! I'm so happy I could die!"
“The three of you…”
Xing crossed his arms, squinted, and scrutinized the three distinctive little black towers with a critical gaze before looking up at the big black tower.
"Black Tower, tell me honestly, did you secretly copy and borrow our Fruit Warriors' character design templates? Did you pay the copyright fee?"
The stuttering pear blossom poem, the infatuated flower girl Hua Ruyi, and the righteous and slightly arrogant Shangguan Ziyi.
"what?"
The Great Black Tower raised an eyebrow:
"Fruit Warriors, what is that?"
"The meme that recently went viral in Pinocchio was created by us."
Qiong Rao, standing to the side, observed the Great Black Tower with great interest:
"But you, how did you manage to leave your lab?"
Heita elegantly smoothed her long hair over her shoulder, her long, slender legs, encased in gradient black stockings, crossed over her shoulder, her tone carrying an air of aloofness and self-righteousness:
"Some answers carry a weight that the seeker of knowledge cannot bear. You need to know that I am already here."
"To say that you were bored and wanted to come see me and incidentally study the Holy Grail, you spoke with such elegance and philosophical insight. Lady Black Tower is truly wise and has a lofty realm of thought!"
Hei Ta Ziyi immediately cupped her hands around her heart, her eyes sparkling with admiration, and praised loudly.
Daheita's movements stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, his sharp gaze locking onto Heita Ziyi in an instant.
That gaze seemed to trigger some kind of pre-programmed procedure.
Hei Ta Ziyi: "Ms. Hei Ta is unparalleled!"
Black Tower Ruyi: "Ms. Black Tower is exceptionally intelligent!"
Black Tower Pear Blossom: "Lady Black Tower is so beautiful she could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky!"
These three compliments were like a switch being flipped, causing even the maid and secretary-style Black Tower dolls around Qiong and Xing, who had been working quietly, to stop what they were doing and begin praising them.
"Lady Black Tower, the Queen of Wisdom!"
"Lady Black Tower looks radiant!"
"Lady Black Tower possesses boundless magical power!"
For a moment, the cabin was filled with praise for Ms. Black Tower from every angle.
March 7th and Haitu, who were standing nearby, twitched at the corners of their eyes, and three black lines appeared on their foreheads.
"Tsk, this guy is really narcissistic."
