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

"...Nothing more than that."

Ruan Mei pursed her lips and left.

"It seems it really has had a significant impact."

As Ruan Mei's figure gradually disappeared, Hei Ta muttered to himself with interest, "In the past, Ruan Mei would probably have used some scientific terminology to explain many things."

But now, it's just this short sentence.

She could even detect a hint of guilt in Ruan Mei's words.

"Humans, emotions, aren't they amazing?"

Black Tower smiled and turned to walk towards Black Tower Space Station.

"The starry sky is so beautiful. There must be countless civilizations near these brilliant stars."

On the spaceship, Alicia and Mebius stood by the porthole, gazing at the boundless universe outside, while Narcida sat in her seat, a can of knowledge floating in her hand, seemingly deep in thought.

“There are indeed many.” Bai Zhi opened her phone and checked the location.

"There are at least four inhabited planets here, with populations of tens of billions. However, these planets are very poor, have few resources, and are not located on major transportation routes. They rely on a few tourist attractions in the universe to make a living."

Bai Zhi also walked to the window, looked at the planets, and said softly.

Ellie paused slightly, "Even without the collapse, there's poverty, and people aren't happy...?"

"Yes, the people on these planets are connected to the interstellar peace company's trading network. Perhaps regular food is cheap, but high technology that they can't manufacture themselves costs the same as anything in the entire universe."

"Although they won't starve or go hungry, human desires are limitless. They see the most advanced things in the universe through the internet, but they have no ability to access them."

Bai Zhi casually swiped her phone and showed the numbers to Alicia, "I have enough credits to buy several planets like this."

[A civil war is raging on a planet near you. Please be aware of your safety – Interstellar Peace Company Safety Alert]

After glancing at the notification that had been sent to her, Bai Zhi looked at the planet that was closer to her. "With a broader perspective but no matching abilities, people are likely to fall into this situation where they are eager to find a powerful man who can lead them to heaven."

"However, according to the encyclopedia, this planet has a very, very long history, and they are still the same."

"Ellie, you're not thinking of going down there to interfere and save them, are you?"

Bai Zhi noticed that Alicia's expression was a bit off.

"This guy might actually have that idea."

Mebius, standing nearby, curled his lip and said, "She's just an idiot who thinks she can save everyone."

As a member of the Heroes, she knew all too well what kind of personality Alicia had.

Salvation and sacrifice permeated Alicia's life.

"Although with your abilities, Ellie, you might actually be able to save this planet that's forever embroiled in civil war, that's only based on your power..."

Bai Zhi looked at the planet and said, "Aili, I once told you that I invited you here to join my side and form a band or something."

"If you have the idea of ​​saving them, you might as well convey your ideas through your songs."

"Because near my planet, there is a place called Pinocchio, where there is a famous singer named Robin."

"Like you, she couldn't stand the turmoil and war. She even went to the front lines herself to save people caught in the chaos of war, but as a result, she was shot in the neck and nearly died in those places."

"There are too many places like this to help, so why not take this opportunity to convey your ideas to the entire universe?"

Bai Zhi tossed her phone aside, "After all, I got the chance to broadcast our concert to the entire universe!"

Alicia sighed; she knew Bai Zhi was right.

If she wanted to save such a remote planet, it probably wouldn't be difficult, but she wouldn't be able to solve the fundamental problem.

People need more things, things that Yingjie cannot conjure up.

Therefore, even if she went down and stopped the war, it would only be temporary.

"Alright, dear Ellie, maybe we can help these planets. I have a very simple way."

Alicia turned around and looked at Bai Zhi with some confusion.

"Ha, you're not thinking of just giving money to these planets, are you?" Snake commented from the side.

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes. "How could I do something so stupid? I'm not their parent, and I'm a capitalist. I can't just give away money for free."

"Then what can you do?"

"It's very simple, dear Snake. We can create some special products, set up sales points on these underdeveloped planets, and hire some people. People in nearby star systems who need to buy these products will have to go to these planets to purchase them, which can also boost related industries."

"For example, Nasita's canned knowledge might become a bestseller, and people from wealthy galaxies around here would come to buy it."

"Or, Snake, you could develop something that's produced in large quantities and is like a necessity."

"This will boost the economy of these planets. Once the economy is up, the people on these planets will not easily fall into war."

"That's not how a capitalist should act," Möbius remarked.

This isn't a capitalist, he's practically a great philanthropist.

Chapter 508 Reencounter with the Underworld

"However, every benefit comes with a price. I'm not exactly a pure philanthropist, you know~"

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "I can give these backward planets a chance, but in return, they need to accept my terms."

“I need some power to interfere in the internal affairs of their planet, as well as some power to collect taxes.”

If she has the ability, Bai Zhi doesn't mind helping these underdeveloped planets; after all, doing good deeds can bring good emotional value.

However, it would be even better if doing good deeds could bring rewards.

To want nothing at all is truly foolish.

After all, there's an old saying that goes, "A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment." The best situation is when there's mutual benefit, rather than simply giving.

Moreover, the company's influence is not high on these backward planets, unlike those prosperous planets where the company has already deeply rooted itself. These places are perfect for the company to get involved.

"That's more like it. I didn't understand your saintly actions of simply giving away money before. And Ellie, you should put away those ideas."

"We are no longer in the original world. This world does not have the kind of uncontrollable force that causes collapse. These situations are all caused by their own people."

"It is inevitable that people will not understand each other, and this struggle is also buried in our genes."

Mebius said calmly.

"I know, it was just a feeling. I won't go down there and do those things. And Xiao Baizhi, your method is great."

Alicia bent down and hugged Bai Zhi tightly. "I know, little Bai Zhi must have come up with all this to satisfy my feelings~"

"I just think we can manipulate things a little inside, it has nothing to do with Ellie..."

Bai Zhi tried to raise her head to express her thoughts, but after she raised her head, all she got was face wash on her nose.

Okay, it's not impossible to get it for the sake of face wash.

"However, to achieve this goal, we need to work together. At the very least, we should first establish our brand awareness before considering anything else."

"This concert, open to the entire universe, is an opportunity, Ellie, you have to give it your all!"

"And dear snake, your scientific research is also a very important part. Without unique products, you can't help these planets."

"Don't worry, with that information, I'll be able to launch some interesting products soon."

Mebius patted her chest confidently. If it weren't for that data, she might have hesitated. After all, the universe is so vast, and she was just a top scientist on her own planet, too insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

But with the data from those three geniuses' abandoned projects, it would be a disservice to my identity as a researcher if this didn't take off.

"I'll do my best too! Little Angelica, would you like to sing with me?" Alicia asked with a smile.

"No, no... I have absolutely no idea how to do this."

Bai Zhi quickly shook her head. With her skill level, she was only good enough to sing nursery rhymes, and her singing skills might not even be as good as Silver Wolf's.

[Ding, quest triggered: In your self-created program, surpass the popularity and rating of the Harmonious Music Festival and the Robin. Reward: Random Charm to level up one level.]

[Ding, quest triggered: Defeat Sunday and Dominic of Wishes head-on, reward: Sheep Charm upgraded by one level]

"what?"

Bai Zhi glanced at the system in surprise. A mission had actually been triggered. It seemed she had no choice but to go all out now.

Neither of these tasks is particularly difficult.

Although the robin is indeed very powerful, and with the added strength of the Synergy, he far surpasses ordinary cosmic singers, Bai Zhi believes that the people she has invited are enough.

The second one is actually quite difficult to deal with, mainly because Sunday isn't as weak as it appears in the dungeon.

This Seven-Rest Brother, in fact, possesses the power of a messenger due to the power of the Dominix of the Common Will, the embodiment of the Synergy of Hippe, and the divine power of order.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to drag the entire galaxy into a dream.

Defeating Sunday head-on is roughly equivalent to defeating the Commander. In the original storyline, if it weren't for Huang Quan's slash, the difficulty would probably be several levels higher.

"Hmm... let's take it one step at a time."

As Bai Zhi was thinking, she suddenly felt the entire spaceship turn into a stream of light, which meant that the time spent there had been enough and the spaceship was beginning to jump again.

This jump should have taken them directly to her planet.

The blue, flowing light quickly disappeared, but a familiar feeling suddenly enveloped Bai Zhi's heart again.

That felt like a dream.

Bai Zhi felt as if she had been suddenly thrust into that familiar private room.

The tall, purple-haired girl in front of them was eating cake with a troubled expression on her face.

"Has my sense of taste... disappeared again?"

She murmured to herself that ever since she last saw Bai Zhi in the space between dreams and reality and accepted that power, she had felt that sweet feeling again.

During this time, she also ate all kinds of different delicacies in various places.

However, as time went by, she felt her sense of taste becoming increasingly weak, and the once sweet cake became only slightly sweet.

Even with lots and lots of sugar added, you can only taste a barely perceptible sweetness.

In the end, all that remained was a bland, tasteless feeling, leaving her utterly disappointed.

When something precious that has been lost returns, it is bound to be moving.

But when something precious returns only to be lost again, the sense of loss is multiplied.

Even though she was an ethereal messenger who believed she could remain calm in the face of everything, she still couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in the face of this situation.

With these emotions in mind, she lay down in her private room and slowly fell asleep.

Her will returned to this place, and she saw the small cake that Bai Zhi had given her back then.

She tried cutting off a small piece of cake, putting it in her mouth, and hoping for a miracle.

However, the miracle did not happen as she had hoped. The once sweet cake, just like the ones she ate outside, tasted bland and tasteless, leaving her extremely disappointed.

"Looks like our Mei-san wants some cakes again~"

!!!

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Huang Quan, who was sitting on the sofa, opened her eyes wide and turned her head to see Bai Zhi standing there, smiling at her.

"Just tell me if you want something to eat, no need to be so sad here~"

Chapter 509 is mainly about how adorable Huang Quan is!

"You... oh, sorry, I dragged you into this again. Do you... still recognize me?"

Looking at Bai Zhi, Huang Quan's face flushed slightly, and he looked on with anticipation.

But she knew that her expectations might not be met; the power of nothingness was too strong, and Bai Zhi had probably forgotten her in a corner.

However, the next second, Huang Quan slightly widened his eyes.

"Of course I know her, dear Mei."

As Bai Zhi spoke, she naturally sat down next to Huang Quan.

"You actually still remember me." Huang Quan was both surprised and delighted. The power of nothingness hadn't made Bai Zhi forget the past.

"How could I forget such a cute girl like Mei? It's okay, if it's Mei, I'm always willing to come over whenever she needs me~"
