Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"I see......"

Night Song ponders.

This is like a sample experiment. Even though they are all human beings, everyone's physical condition is more or less different. If one person does the experiment, there may be coincidences. Only when a hundred people do the experiment can the data be considered reliable.

Ye Ge then asked the system, "So, the company's ultimate goal is to collect the pure power of all the ancient races listed in the encyclopedia?"

[System: No, this is merely the first step towards the company's ultimate goal.]

"The first step..." Night Song pondered, "What happens after we collect all the cards in the card book?"

[System: Sorry, you do not have permission at this time. Please complete the prerequisite tasks first.]

"..."

Ye Ge asked, "What benefits will the shareholders on the company's board of directors receive if the entire encyclopedia is collected?"

[System: After collecting all the illustrations, you can gain company privileges and system rewards based on the contribution value of shareholders within the company's board of directors. The higher the contribution value, the greater the company privileges and rewards you will receive.]

'Contribution points......Permissions......Rewards......'

Ye Ge thought for a moment and then asked, "Can I see my current contribution points?"

[System: Of course.]

[System: This is a ranking of the contribution values ​​of all directors in the company.]

[1. Chairman, 5500 points]

[2, Ye Bing, 3090 points]

[3. Harion (dead), 2550 points]

[4, ...]

[5, Star Dragon, 0:00]

Your current permissions: Level C

Ye Ge thought to herself, "Even on this ranking list, the chairman's real name isn't there..."

"How is this contribution value calculated?" Ye Ge asked. "The chairman should never have participated in the operation to capture the descendants of the ancient race, right?"

[System: As I just mentioned, capturing a descendant of the ancient race doesn't directly change the mission progress. You need to extract at least 60% pure ancient power to activate the card.]

Ye Ge said, "Now that the company's encyclopedia collection rate has reached 89%, does that mean my contribution rate has no chance of surpassing the chairman's?"

[System: That's not necessarily true. If the player feels capable enough and doesn't need the help of other shareholders in the company, they can create a separate save file for the mission. However, in that case, all card collection will be calculated separately and will not conflict with the company's mission progress.]

“A separate save file…” Ye Ge’s eyes darted around: “Okay, create a separate save file for me first.”

[System: Okay.]

【Didi Didi】

A brand new hidden quest has been activated.

[Mission: Ancient Power Collection Plan]

[Mission Requirements: Complete the collection of all Ancient Tribe cards in the card collection]

[Current progress: 0%]

【mission rewards:? ? ? 】

Ye Ge looked at the four cards at the top of the card book: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. He wondered if he could directly activate the Azure Dragon card if he borrowed some power from Old Deng of Azure Dragon.

Thinking this, Ye Ge raised his hand and gathered some Azure Dragon power, pouring it into the card in front of him.

【Ding! 】

Congratulations, player! You have successfully unlocked the [Azure Dragon] card!

Task progress +1%

[Azure Dragon Power purity detected: 100%]

[Company Contribution +1000]

Ye Ge's eyes lit up immediately.

The company's contribution level increased by 1000 directly?

The chairman has completed 89% of the encyclopedia collection, but has only reached 5500 points!

It seems the purity of the ancient power used to activate the card also affects the contribution value...

[System: Your company's access level has been increased]

[System: Current permission level C → B]

[System: Some permissions have been unlocked]

[Unlock 1: You can now view some of the technological data from ancient civilizations within the company]

[Unlock 2: You can now command 100 AI employees within your company. The number of AI employees you can command will gradually increase as your privilege level increases.]

Ye Ge's eyelids twitched slightly: "Technological data from an ancient civilization..."

......

Ye Ge walked out of the archives.

The metal door to the archives room slowly closed.

'Today's harvest was really good...'

Night Song thought to himself.

Now he knows the company's current stage goals, and as long as he doesn't violate those goals, theoretically, he shouldn't be demoted.

But there was still one thing he couldn't understand...

The Heavenly Dao Technology System installed in the company's archives was actually connected to the Heavenly Dao Systems of these players who had transmigrated.

The gene company wasn't founded by the current chairman; it existed long, long ago in the game's lore.

And that Heavenly Dao AI...

Ye Ge suddenly had a feeling.

Could it be that all these players were summoned to this world by the company's Heavenly Dao AI?

Ye Ge frowned slightly, unable to come up with a solution.

"Knock...knock...knock..."

Just then, the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the metal floor came from not far down the corridor.

A slightly playful yet commanding female voice suddenly rang out: "Mr. Xingminglong."

Ye Ge slightly raised her head.

At the corner of the metal corridor, a tall, slender, long-haired, black trench coat, high heels, and long legs in black stockings emerged.

It was none other than the Fallen Angel Queen, Ye Bing.

'How come she's at headquarters too...' Ye Ge's heart skipped a beat as she silently thought to herself.

The shareholders of the board of directors are all leaders and rulers of their respective races. They are usually very busy and rarely appear at the headquarters of the gene company. Even in the last emergency meeting, they used a virtual holographic projection conference.

Especially now, the company is preparing to retrieve the White Tiger's spirit.

Ye Bing was also one of the participants in this operation.

They should be even busier.

'Could this woman be deliberately waiting for me here?' Ye Ge muttered to himself.

After all, he was a mole within the company, having infiltrated it using the body of the Star Dragon.

They must still feel a little guilty.

Ye Bing walked slowly toward him with her hands in the pockets of her trench coat and a playful smile on her face. Her exquisite and beautiful face was made up with a cool and queen-like makeup. Most men would probably submit to her domineering aura just by standing in front of her.

"Oh, the Fallen Angel Queen," Night Song said casually, glancing behind her.

Behind Ye Bing were more than a dozen male warriors of the Fallen Angel race. Each of these Fallen Angel warriors was extremely tall and mighty, and each of them was a head taller than Ye Bing, but their aura was far inferior to Ye Bing's.

These fallen angel warriors quickly surrounded Nightsong, blocking his path.
