"Our company has vehicles?"
Landline, you're so screwed...
All right, Li Pan really hasn't seen the world. He's always dreaming of emperors farming with golden hoes, fooled by the old-fashioned facade of the Monster Company.
But how could a legitimate Celestial-level company not have company cars? Even if all the people die, you can't not have cars; after all, company cars can be counted as assets for tax deductions!
Even when you pull up the archives and take a look, there are plenty that are even better than the ones the Ye Corporation has, like small anti-gravity shuttle machines, armored cash transport trucks, and various types of delivery drones.
However, due to the lack of internet in the company, these heavy equipment inventories are usually all parked in the CSI corporate park garage. To use them you have to follow procedure, first fill out a business trip application and vehicle request, reserve the vehicle time, and only after getting the general manager's stamp of approval and company approval can you use them. By then, CSI's smart security will naturally drive the vehicle up to the parking platform, waiting.
All right, the reason Li Pan didn't discover these things on the computer is that they are included in the official employee files.
Although nevertheless, he did temporarily gain the general manager's authority, but as far as the contract and benefits are concerned, he's squarely a temp, naturally not privy to the official benefits, totally at the mercy of the birds.
And although it's very unfriendly to temp workers, to give credit where credit's due, the Monster Company does provide a lot of benefits to official employees and business backbones. Some vehicles can even be loaned to official employees for long-term use, which is an invisible benefit for official contract workers. Of course, if you blow up the car, you still have to pay off your debts and compensate.
And it's not limited to vehicles; many equipment and facilities are also like that. For convenience in business, they can all be borrowed. Anything from a sedan to a truck for commuting, the general manager has the authority to approve directly, send a fax to go through the process, and basically, it's approved immediately.
As for equipment involving level five technology and above, like escort ships and higher-grade military vessels, because of the huge amount and sensitive nature, which would attract special attention from the tax bureau, the approval of the finance and legal departments at the head office is required.
Yep, that's right, TheM Company actually has a fleet in orbit!
All right, strictly speaking, it's not "in orbit." Considering the recent spike in the crime rate in 0791, to avoid disturbing the local sentiments and triggering a war, the fleets of Outer Plane Companies must be docked in the deep space outside of the asteroid defense belt. It's roughly a full-fledged squadron of more than seventy battleships, along with four mixed brigades composed of support and logistics squadrons.
So looking at the current planetary situation, if you want to use those ships, Li Pan alone signing off on it definitely won't cut it, he still needs approval from the board of directors. But assets on Earth, those are free game.
Of course, battleships are not what Li Pan is concerned about. After some research, he found that although the company doesn't allow temps to drive the cars home, it's all right for Mr007 to pick him up and drop him off at work!
Awesome! No more squeezing into the subway!
So he submitted the business trip application, requisitioned an anti-gravity car, and set off with Mr007 to clock in at the various warehouses.
"So Aqi, can I ask what it's like after you die?"
Mr007 thought about it and wrote on the pad,
'Two-sided mirror.'
"Mirror?"
Two-sided mirror, one side is heaven, the other is earth. You stand on the earth and look up, you can see it in the mirror, also looking up at you.
Do you want to die?
Is there anything else you cling to?
If you were given another chance, would you be willing to give up everything else?
Then take this opportunity,
Because it's quite interesting.
'And then I woke up.'
"Hmm..."
Talking like you've said nothing...
"Is that 'it,' the Grim Reaper? What does 'it' look like?"
'The appearance of my true form, but since 'death' is a mirror, probably everyone sees their own image in it.'
Li Pan suddenly became startled,
"So you mean, Aqi, what do you Guardians look like? The formal attire is just your projection, right? What do you look like in your plane? Is it... sorry, is it a dog?"
Mr007 isn't upset at all,
'I cannot describe my world with the language here, there's just nothing comparable, it might lead you to misunderstand.
And because it touches upon the soul level, Guardians appear very different in the eyes of different races and individuals.
I'm honored that you consider us 'dogs,' such companions. But some people see us as weapons, tools, or even parasites.
Actually, there's no need to worry, as long as in your heart, you feel that it's better for your Guardian to be 'a dog,' then we will be a dog.'
"Oh, that's pretty idealistic..."
Is it still timely to wish for the Guardian to transform into a busty beauty with great curves?
Then Mr007 wrote,
'Actually, I think you should pay more attention to your own dreams.'
Dreams? That mountain?
'As a rule, a Guardian's spirit is stronger than a human's, which provides them with the ability to protect.
And you're not resistant to Guardians. I've never heard of someone unable to contract one.
The only possibility I see...
"A possibility?"
'...is that there is already a contract of similar nature to a Guardian on your soul, but it's in conflict with the rules.'
"Hiss—"
The airship fell silent for a moment, only the sound of Mr007's pen scratching,
'The previous Tangled Mess/death as a bond, was captured by the likes of rule conflicts.
Considering the company's destruction, you're the last survivor.
Perhaps the issue lodged in your dreams is much more serious than a mere psychic level problem.'
