Star Iron, building an empire starting with game development

[Walter: These slogans are so familiar, they're so reminiscent of my world.]

[March 7th: Don't tell me the Trail Blazers came up with all this!]

[Danheng: Qiong...]

[Qiong: It has nothing to do with me! It was all my sister's fault!]

[Star: Hehe~!]

[Topa: I feel the same way I do in the video]

[Interstellar Peace Corporation employee: Ah~ I feel like we're doomed]

"Welcome back, Director!!!" A team leader led a large group of employees to line up and welcome Toppa.

"Thank you for your hard work, Director!" a group of employees shouted.

"Huh!?" Topa was completely stunned...

"Victory won't make you..." Under the leadership of their group leader, everyone began chanting various slogans.

[Topa: What is all this?!]

[Walter: Absolutely right, the taste is just right!]

"Good, very good! Excellent!!" a group of people shouted.

"What...what's going on?!" Topa was so shocked he didn't know what to say.

—Scene Change—

"Director, please take a look. This is a renovation of the restrooms under the leadership of the deputy director. They've incorporated restroom time into the performance evaluation system! The longer the time, the more deductions will be made."

"Not bad, not bad. You only took 3.52 seconds to go to the bathroom this time, beating 99.9% of your colleagues in the department..." Two employees were having a conversation.

"Uh...uh...uh..." Topa began to be bewildered.

[Interstellar Peace Corporation Employees: 6]

[Interstellar Peace Company Employee 2: Three seconds, the zipper wasn't even down yet, right? How did that guy even get it on?]

[Gold Sand: Miss Hoshi's ideas are truly unique~]

"Director, please take a look. We've installed surveillance cameras at the office entrance. The first person to leave work will have a week's performance bonus deducted, the second will have half deducted, and so on!" the team leader continued.

"Hahaha! I've already planned out my work schedule for the next Amber Era! Hahaha..." an employee suddenly stood up and shouted.

"...Have they all gone mad?" Topa remained bewildered.

[Interstellar Peace Corporation employee: An Amber Era work plan, what a terrifying thing this is]

[Jade: Miss Xing is indeed a bit too radical]

"Director, please see that, under the guidance of the deputy director, the job responsibilities have been further subdivided." The team leader led Topa to an office.

Inside the office, there was an employee onboarding, a large group of judges scoring the candidates, and a sign indicating the thirty-second round of interviews…

[Walter: A job posting for adjusting PPT font size after 32 rounds of interviews... What kind of ridiculous job is this?]

[Player: This job must be driving everyone crazy!]

"Wow, this kind of job is so complicated?!" Topa continued to be shocked.

"Hehe~ The deputy director said our department has a chance to become independent and list on NASDAQ, with a market value of hundreds of billions, and shareholder dividends..." the team leader said excitedly.

[Walter: This is just empty promises about attributes...]

[Jade: Was it all just empty promises? How interesting~]

"Stop, stop, stop, stop..." Toppa urgently interrupted the other person.

"Director Toppa." An employee appeared, looking over with a weary expression.

"This is Zhang Zhang's performance appraisal manual. The deputy director said that a pet that can't create value is not as good as a robot vacuum cleaner."

"Aa ...

"Go and call the deputy director here!!!" Topa finally couldn't hold back anymore.

[Topa: That's going too far! Zhang Zhang is my pet, not a company employee!]

[Star: Hehe~]

—Scene changes, Toppa looks at the Trail Blazers star.

“This time, it’s to persuade you to go back to the Star Train,” Topa said.

"I have a meeting later, let's talk about it later," Xing refused directly.

“A talent like yours should shine in your hometown,” Topa said.

"Hilarious! It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away!" Xing laughed out loud.

"I'm out here to do something big. I'm going to create a business legend, build my own business empire, and seize control of the universe's economic lifeline!"

"No one, no one can stop me! Hahahaha..." Xing laughed wildly.

"...This is a call from Himeko." Toppa took out his phone and said to Hoshi.

"Hello... okay, I'll be right back..." After answering the phone, Xing instantly turned into an obedient little girl.

—End of video—

[Oswaldo: Miss Xing's idea in the video is good; it can be implemented in the department.]

[Market Development Department Employee: Aa ...

[Diamond: Oswald, although we don't get along, Miss Star's ideas shouldn't be used recklessly.]

[Himeko: It was my phone call that finally made Hoshi turn back?]

[Star: The Trail Blazers have two mothers, one of whom is their biological mother, Kafka, which is generally acknowledged by players.]

[Player: Of course!]

[Star: And then there's his foster mother, Himeko. The pioneer is still young, so of course he'll listen to Himeko~]

[Gold Sand: Still young? It seems the Trailblazer is really only about a year old, just like in the game~]

[Qiong: Yeah, I'm not even a year old yet, maybe?]

Star Core Hunter Outpost

"Kafka, how do you feel?" Silver Wolf, who had ended the video broadcast immediately, looked at Kafka beside him.

"Pretty good~" Kafka glanced at Xing and smiled gently.

"Hehe~" Xing responded to Kafka's gentle smile with a grin, then disappeared from the room in a flash.

…………

Empire Territory Universe

"Whoosh..." A spatial flash appeared, and a silver-white spaceship flew out of the dark spatial ripples in a disheveled state and flew quickly in a certain direction.

"Whoosh~~" Another similar spaceship appeared and kept firing at the first spaceship, as if it was chasing after it.

"Toot~~" An Isokaze-class destroyer, along with four Gozanti-class light cruisers and two VF-171s fully loaded with missiles and reaction missiles, left the warp drive and hovered directly between the two ships.

Two VF-171s flew away to create distance, and the four Gozanti cruisers released twenty-four unmanned tie fighters and two X-wing starfighters before the blast cannons on the hull began to charge.

After the Isokaze-class destroyer completed its combat maneuvers in Gozanti last night, the wave shield was activated, the positron cannon began to charge, and it sent out a communication in a certain direction.

The appearance of the Isokaze-class destroyer and the Gozanti halted the advance of the armed warships pursuing the ship ahead, but the ship's cannons began to charge and redirected their power towards the Isokaze-class destroyer.

There was no way around it; the Isokaze-class wave cannon destroyer and the Gozanti light cruiser were only about a hundred meters long, so that spaceship, which was nearly a kilometer long, really felt that its massive hull was not afraid of the Isokaze-class's warning.
