The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

The group of people looked like ordinary citizens, each nitpicking over every little thing.

"That statement is indeed correct, but Miss Baizhi also knows that no matter how much funding there is, it is always limited, while interstellar talent is constantly being produced."

"To use a popular internet phrase, it's like saying, 'If you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will.'"

"There are only a handful of geniuses like those in the Genius Club in the universe, but ordinary geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river."

"Their power can indeed drive many technologies, but in this universe, truly revolutionary changes are driven by geniuses."

"Even if the company invests a lot of money, with so many people, except for the top level, the lower down these researchers are, the lower their income becomes."

Bai Zhi nodded noncommittally. Although it was a bit hurtful to say that, in the field of scientific research, one genius can indeed be worth countless so-called mediocre people.

After all, intelligence is something that can't be accumulated.

Just like the synesthetic beacon used by countless people, it was invented by Lia Salas of the Genius Club, which solved the language problem that had plagued the entire universe.

Toppa casually typed something into his phone, glanced at it, and then smiled at Bai Zhi, saying, "Basically, unless you're a researcher with outstanding achievements, the income and funding that the Bo Shi Society can provide are limited."

How much is it usually?

Bai Zhi asked with some curiosity.

"The fluctuations are huge. Someone who washes cups in the boss's lab might only earn tens of thousands of credits a month, while someone with some research achievements would earn more."

Toppa laid his phone flat, and a projection showed a researcher writing reports and washing cups, finally receiving tens of thousands of credits with a worried expression.

"However, to be honest, the income units for credit points vary greatly in different places. For example, in the Immortal Ship, which is a higher civilization, the starting income for the same job is hundreds of times that of a backward planet."

"Whether in terms of per capita wealth or physical fitness, the people of the Celestial Journey far surpass those of other planets. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are called the place of the celestial beings by other planets."

"Or perhaps this Pinocchio, a notorious money pit in the universe, where the waiters are even paid more than ordinary researchers at the Faculty of Education."

Accompanying these words, the Toppa phone projected scenes of Pinocchio's extravagant lifestyle and the relatively relaxed lives of the Xianzhou people.

"However, whether on the Immortal Ship or on a backward planet, the research funding Miss Bai Zhi provides is a considerable sum of money. Of course, what is even more attractive is your identity."

"This identity is the decisive factor and the key to attracting truly talented people."

"Now that we've come this far, Ms. Bai Zhi, let's get down to business. What are you planning to do with your investment in Dr. Möbius?"

"Of course, it's okay if it's inconvenient to say, but we might be able to offer some assistance."

Toppa smiled and looked at Bai Zhi, saying that before coming here, she had been thinking about how to win Bai Zhi's favor.

Investing more resources in that publicity campaign is one approach, but its effectiveness will likely be limited.

After all, unless you're a professional, it's actually quite difficult to tell how much additional promotional resources have been allocated.

But after seeing Mebius's post, she felt that perhaps the opportunity had arrived.

"There's nothing I can't say. Dr. Mebius is an important friend of mine, and I have great faith in her research abilities. So I signed a small agreement with her, and she will help me develop various new products."

"Oh? Do you need the company to sell these products on your behalf?"

Toppa's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Whether the product is competitive or not is secondary. The main thing is to do the right thing first. Anyway, the universe is so big, there's no need to worry about the market. As long as it's not so bad that it's completely unwatchable, it's fine."

"Although our strategic investment department is not as professional as the market development department in selling goods, we still have a lot of connections."

Chapter 520 Silver Branch: Ms. Alicia, please join the Pure Beauty Knights!

"It's not really necessary for now. If I need the company's help in this area in the future, I will let you know, Ms. Toppa."

Although using the company's channels is convenient and fast, Bai Zhi felt that the company couldn't do everything for her. If something unusual happened in the future, the company might control the channels.

"I see... You really won't reconsider?"

Bai Zhi's answer surprised Toppa somewhat; she had thought Bai Zhi would agree easily.

To be honest, creating your own unique product isn't easy, and making money isn't easy either.

The universe is so vast, with endless creativity and technology, that the competition among products has reached an astonishing level.

With the company's help, one would essentially step directly into the ranks of the world's top billionaires.

It seems that Dr. Möbius is truly trusted by Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi has great confidence in him as well.

"However, we might need to ask Miss Topa for help with some of the equipment and production lines."

Bai Zhi didn't expect Möbius to be strong enough to build all kinds of interstellar-era scientific research equipment and production lines on his own; that was unrealistic. So, getting some high-performance, inexpensive equipment through Toppa was a good option.

"no problem!"

Toppa was invigorated.

"Besides this, Miss Baizhi, I've secured more promotional resources for you. Do you think there's anything you'd like to adjust?"

"Indeed, there are. I might have more people coming later, so I'll trouble you to promote it as a group of people."

"Can I see the new people?"

Topa asked cautiously.

"Of course! Although Airi isn't as good or professional as my dear Fufu at singing and acting, Airi is very beautiful~"

Bai Zhi pinched Fu Fu's nose and said very naturally.

"Hmph... at least you're fair."

Fu Ningna crossed her arms. Although she was somewhat unwilling, Bai Zhi's words were indeed correct. After meeting the girl named "Alicia," she did acknowledge the girl's beauty.

It's a kind of beauty that's not limited to superficial appearances, but rather a beauty that draws you in with its charisma upon first meeting the person.

"Oh?"

Topa was somewhat surprised. Even in this world, Funina's looks were among the top tier. To be even more beautiful than Funina, and to receive such a direct praise from Bai Zhi, she really wanted to see for herself.

"Looks like Toppa can't wait either. Let's go see Airi!"

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way," Topa said politely.

Bai Zhi waved her hand, signaling the HR manager to drive everyone that way.

"Lady Baizhi, we've arrived. Miss Alicia should be over there," the HR manager said respectfully as he brought the car to a smooth stop.

"Thank you for your help. Regarding those resumes... for researchers, go ask Dr. Mebius and ask her to give you a standard. You can recruit according to that standard."

"Yes!"

The HR manager immediately shouted, then hurriedly walked out.

"It's clear that Miss Bai Zhi has a lot of experience in running a business."

"It's alright. I learned a lesson when I was the deputy general in Xianzhou: don't trouble yourself too much, just delegate things to your subordinates."

"Yes, if you do everything yourself, you'll probably be exhausted."

Topa echoed this sentiment, saying, "When I was first promoted, I liked to do things like that, and I almost worked myself to death. So the higher the level of management, the less you should do everything yourself, but rather delegate tasks."

"Not necessarily. For example, I know an emperor who liked to do everything himself, and he succeeded. Under his rule, the empire was well-organized, and he hoped his son would do the same."

Unfortunately, his son wasn't as physically robust as him, and this lifestyle led to his son developing health problems from overwork, ultimately causing his death.

Bai Zhi suddenly recalled the image of the old man surnamed Zhu who had traveled through time with his seriously ill wife to seek medical treatment, and then she told him this story with a smile.

"I changed so much back then, so the Ming Dynasty in that world probably wouldn't have fallen so low that it started with a bowl and ended with a rope, right?"

Bai Zhi thought for a moment, then shook her head; she was amused by her own idea.

How could helping someone like this lead to the downfall of a country?

Anyway, when the concert comes around, I'll see if I can invite these people. Hopefully, the time flow on both sides is normal, and Old Zhu is still alive.

Bai Zhi then led the group forward for a while, and then they saw...

Yinzhi knelt on one knee and solemnly said to Alicia, "Respected Ms. Alicia, your views on love and beauty have deeply impressed me. Please join our Pure Beauty Knights to revitalize the path of pure beauty."

"Hey, our Sleeping Beauty is here! Come and win over this fanatical knight."

Silver Wolf was also there, and upon seeing Bai Zhi, he immediately waved to her.

"What's going on?"

Bai Zhi walked into the scene, her face full of confusion.

"Just as you see, this Silver Branch Knight felt that Alicia was a perfect fit to join the Pure Beauty Knights as soon as he saw her, and even discussed topics related to love and beauty with her."

"To be honest, I don't understand those philosophical topics; they're a bit too profound."

"However, in the words of online novels, it is said that the elders of the Pure Beauty Sect discovered that Alicia had a naturally pure and beautiful body, so they could not suppress their love for talent and strongly invited her to join the sect."

Silver Wolf gave a very down-to-earth summary of what had happened.

.........

Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then gave Silver Wolf a thumbs up.

"It's obvious, Silver Wolf, you've been reading quite a few Xianzhou web novels lately."

"Hey, it's actually quite interesting. After all, the people of the Immortal Ship live long lives and have good writing skills. Those guys always play with the 'Great Love Immortal Venerable' meme, which makes me want to create an ID like 'Great Love Wolf Venerable'."

"Oh, Miss Baizhi is here. Could you please persuade Ms. Alicia? I believe that the great Idrila has been secretly watching Ms. Alicia."

Yinzhi also saw Baizhi's arrival and, as if seeing a savior, quickly came over and pleaded.

"This... I can't make a decision on behalf of Ellie. Besides, Silver Branch, you're getting a little too worked up. True beauty shouldn't be about forcing others, but about learning the qualities of beauty, shouldn't it?"

Yinzhi was slightly taken aback, as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. Her somewhat fanatical gaze suddenly cooled down, and she realized that she had indeed been a bit reckless just now.

This kind of forced invitation is also very impure.

Chapter 521 Alicia's Pure Beauty Envoy, Really or Fake?

“Miss Bai Zhi, you are right. This is really not pure and beautiful. A true pure and beautiful knight should quietly appreciate beauty instead of interfering.”

After speaking, Yinzhi bowed slightly to Baizhi.

"There's no need to take it so seriously..."

Bai Zhi scratched her head. Yin Zhi was a truly wonderful person, and she was indeed very meticulous in everything she did.

She still admired him.

"To receive such an invitation from a pure and beautiful knight..."

Topa was taken aback. Although the Pure Beauty Knights had all disappeared due to the disappearance of the Pure Beauty Star Goddess Idrila, there were still a small number of Pure Beauty Knights traveling outside.

At the same time, it also left behind a wealth of information for people to refer to.

One of the most striking points is that almost every Pure Beauty Knight is a handsome man or a beautiful woman, a fact universally acknowledged throughout the universe.

This kind of beauty may not be limited to appearance, but may also be found in other places, such as a fit physique, but one thing is certain: at first glance, it will definitely not be considered ugly.

"Little Angelica, you're awake! Come here, let me give you a loving hug~"

Alicia walked to Bai Zhi's side, picked her up and gave her a face wash.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Bai Zhi symbolically waved her hands and struggled for a moment, then fell silent.

Funina:......

She looked at Bai Zhi, who was nestled in the great embrace, and then at her own thin figure.

A sense of frustration suddenly welled up inside me.

"Hmm...Does Bai Zhi really like women with big breasts?"

Looking at Bai Zhi, who had stopped struggling and seemed to be enjoying herself, Naxi Da tilted her head and asked in an inquisitive tone.

"At her age, she'll definitely like it; it's a child's longing for maternal love."

Silver Wolf said casually.

"Is that so? Bai Zhi likes mother-like roles."

"I don't know, but the loli mom character is very popular in the universe."

Narcida:?

Silver Wolf shrugged. "But this guy looks like a womanizer. She's a dragon descendant, and although it's said that the Vidyadhara lost the power to reproduce, causing many to be indifferent, I don't think she's like that."

"At least in terms of attributes, this guy is full of fire and doesn't seem like the kind of person who is pure and detached from worldly desires."
