Star Iron: Cat Renaissance Abundance

At this time, the company had just finished the election for the positions of Topa and Gold Dust. Ye Lina lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the selection smoothly.

Yelena took the topaz from Diamond, while a blond man named Kakavasya beside her took another black box containing aventurine from Diamond.

"Congratulations to both of you. I hope you will work harder and live up to the expectations of the Amber King!" Diamond congratulated.

"Well, don't worry, Diamond. You know my ability. There is no debt that I can't collect!" Ye Lina said domineeringly.

"Topa, sometimes being too proud isn't a good thing. However, even worse than pride is cowardice, and cowardice is a gambler's biggest taboo! What if you lose 100% of your capital but plan to get a 2000% return? Then, what is your choice?"

Before Topal could speak, Gold Dust shouted arrogantly, "Everything! Or nothing! I'll bet, I'll gamble! I'll win! I'll let fate spin the roulette wheel! I'll risk everything! I'll survive the most desperate situation! Everything is dedicated to the Amber King!"

Aventurine appeared in Dujin's hand. Dujin threw the aventurine high up and it landed in the palm of his outstretched hand just before it hit Topal!

Shangguan Mio, who was standing nearby, said, "Alright, Shajin. Stop bullying Ye Lina. Ye Lina, you too. She's already arrogant and crazy, and you're still saying that. Didn't I tell you before? Just keep a calm mind and don't get excited."

Feicui chuckled and said to Little Yelina, "Little Yelina, don't listen to that big mascot's nonsense. It's a great thing that we young people are full of vitality!"

When Shangguan Mio heard Feicui call her the Great Mascot, she felt her face flushed and shouted angrily, "Hey! Who are you calling the Great Mascot?"

Feicui, however, disagreed. She raised an eyebrow and responded jokingly, "Oh? Am I wrong? Your puppet was the company's beloved mascot! Now that the little mascot has disappeared, you've stepped in to fill the gap and naturally become our main mascot!"

Shangguan Mio's eyes widened, and she was speechless for a moment. She could only stand there dryly, her face flushed with anger, and she muttered, "Jade! It's obviously you who should be called the big mascot, and a purple mascot at that!"

"Hmph, you are the two-color fluffy hair mascot!" Jade was not willing to be outdone and added this sentence.

Shangguan Mio subconsciously reached out and touched her hair, muttering to herself. Actually, she just got a new hairstyle. Silver Wolf had always complained that her original long, straight black hair, while beautiful, always looked a bit too aloof. So, she had made up her mind and had it cut into a fluffy style, and even dyed it a little. Now, her once pure black hair had transformed into a strange, dark color with a hint of red.

(For hairstyle, please refer to v2v in Honkai Impact 3rd)

Ye Lina giggled, and Diamond thought to herself: Dragon Crystal is smaller than Topaz, Topaz is smaller than Shangguan Mio, Shangguan Mio is smaller than Jade, Jade is smaller than Dragon Crystal. The loop is closed.

Sha Jin walked out the door on his own, and before leaving, he did not forget to throw the 130 billion credit points on the table beside him.

Diamond's secretary looked at the expenditure on the same receipt and found only 650 million credit points.

It really is as Sha Jin said.

100% of the principal is exchanged for % of the profit.

Diamond pressed her hand and said to Jadeite, who was still teasing Shangguan Mio, "Okay, be quiet."

Shangguan Mio snorted when she heard Diamond say this, and then ignored Jadeite.

Emerald dropped her smile and looked at Diamond along with Topaz.

"Since Topa and Gold Sand have already made their decision, let's do this for now. The meeting will begin at 3 pm. All ten Stonehearts must be present, as well as the guest officials."

"Another meeting? Didn't we just have a meeting?" Shangguan Mio asked in surprise.

"After all, it was quite sudden. Let's take a look at this report."

Diamond took out a report from the drawer. It was an investigation report of the Abundant Alliance and the Immortal Boat Alliance.

"Now that the war between the Fengcao Alliance and the Xianzhou Alliance is a foregone conclusion, the afternoon meeting will discuss whether the company will remain neutral or participate in the war once it breaks out."

Diamond took out another envelope from the Xianzhou Alliance and another one from the Fengcao Alliance.

"These two are a letter of alliance written by Marshal Hua of the Xianzhou Alliance and a handwritten letter from the leader of the Fengzao Alliance."

"I originally thought the Harvest Alliance would also ask the company to help it, but to my surprise, there were only three words on it: Will the gods fight?"

"The Immortal Boat Alliance's letter was just a simple request for help, asking the company to help the alliance save ordinary people at a critical moment."

Emerald asked, "Diamond, what are your plans?"

"I've been thinking about this for a long time. Although the Alliance of Plenty is powerful and its territory spans half of the galaxy, it's governed as a federation. While there has always been a trend of encirclement, it's not yet obvious, and for now, the impact won't be significant."

"Also, the Harvest Alliance had previously been using the company's credit point system, which invisibly helped to alleviate the company's monetary credibility pressure. However, the official currency they are now issuing uses the power of the Harvest Star God as its equivalent. The exchange rate with company credit points is 1 to 10,000."

Jade said again: "Then we still have to use the old method to harvest and short sell?"

"Unfortunately, our company simply can't do that. You know, the currency issued by the Harvest Alliance is made from the leaves of the Negative Tree! Not only that, the amount of fertility power contained in these leaves is fixed. Even if we painstakingly pluck the leaves from the Negative Tree, if the fertility power within doesn't dissipate naturally, then we still won't be able to meet the high standards and strict requirements set by the Harvest Alliance for currency!"

"What's even more troubling is that now, throughout the galaxy, those scattered sapote trees have either been ruthlessly wiped out by patrols, or tragically perished under the heavy bombardment of the Harvest Alliance's starships. So, basically, all the sapote trees in the galaxy are now firmly controlled by the Harvest Alliance, completely under their monopoly!"

At this point, Shangguan Mio couldn't help but frown and ask, "If you put it that way, doesn't this mean we're in an unsolvable deadlock? How about this? Can we use the Amber King's power like they do and create an equivalent currency? That's better than relying solely on the company's own reputation."

However, Diamond shook his head helplessly and replied, "Well, I'd love to do that, too. The problem is, anything imbued with the Amber King's power is incredibly hard and heavy. These properties clearly make them unsuitable for use as currency!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Mio could only sigh and say, "Well, it seems like there's really no hope for this matter..."
