Two Angels of Death joined, significantly bolstering the company's reserve of A-level employees.

Sun Hao is a new generation Angel of Death cultivated and incubated by the company, stable in character and specialized as a Consciousness Doctor, but also harbors the potential risk of a Dream Demon.

Yuan Xiao, who is on a thousand-mile quest to find her relatives, is still a significant uncertainty. Although reality compelled her to join the company and she proposed the condition of defeating the Dragon to save her daughter, she might still change her mind and leave.

Zhou Yi remains calm about this.

Risks and opportunities always coexist, and it's a personal choice for employees to come and go; there's no insistence on binding them to the company forever.

If one day Yuan Xiao suddenly disappears, he wouldn't be surprised.

Through her, Zhou Yi learned a lot about Angels of Death and even discovered the Forbidden Continent, a place far to the east that's not on the maps.

After a period of adjustment, Zhou Yi officially appointed Yuan Xiao as his assistant—because Gong Zheng is now swamped with coordinating external departments daily and managing the distribution of wages, making him quite unavailable.

Compared to Gong Zheng, Yuan Xiao is not skilled in coordination and communication, but she's a fierce fighter, with strong combat experience and instinct, making her a capable bodyguard.

This would free up Condenser and Wu Yi to focus on their respective endeavors.

For convenience, Zhou Yi allocated a room for Yuan Xiao, making it easy to call upon her at any time.

Sometimes, he would fall asleep on the sofa while reading comics.

Several times at night, Yuan Xiao, with red eyes, would stealthily pace around him, seemingly intent on attacking him while asleep, but in the end, she always restrained herself.

All of this did not escape the watchful eyes of Jade City, which conveyed the details to Zhou Yi through shared consciousness, prompting him to be cautious and vigilant.

However, Zhou Yi was not worried.

Because now he switches to Mechanism 2 when he sleeps, letting Xiao Fu take the first wave of damage. The Reverse Flow's Life Value had long since broken through 150,000 and was still recovering.

If she dared to make a move, he would transform her into Fire Seed Life.

And later use her as an external hard drive.

One evening, Yuan Xiao finally reached out her hand—to cover Zhou Yi with a blanket, then she looked around as if relieved.

When Zhou Yi woke up, he asked her what was going on.

"I consulted with Red Kestrel, and it provided me with several Dead Sea Documents on assistants and secretaries, taking care of the chairman is the responsibility of an assistant."

"The documents are very detailed, from appearance and attire to daily work and life... I am carefully observing and learning."

Yuan Xiao quickly changed her image.

She cut her long hair short, wore a black leather jacket over her white coat, and put on black boots, looking much more capable.

Zhou Yi also gradually realized.

Even though Yuan Xiao was a mother of two and had hunted in the Dead Sea for many years, her life was mostly spent fighting, so she was very green in taking care of others and work-related tasks.

Zhou Yi told her: "Don't do that, my assistant is just my helper, I will let you do what I need. In your free time, it's better to study something you're interested in."

"No."

She insisted firmly: "If I do something, I will do it with all my effort. In the high seas hunting, if you slack off even a little, you may come back empty-handed when facing those B-level prey. I've never taken hunting lightly, treating each one as if it were my last."

"So, I will also become the best assistant and firmly hold onto this position!"

Being fully committed and maintaining high standards is good.

So Zhou Yi let her be.

Besides, he really didn't have time to concern himself with these things.

A new round of sanctions from Mechanical City was giving Zhou Yi a headache.

...

Two days ago, another Special Commissioner from the Security Department of Mirror City, aboard a white Floating craft, arrived above Jade City.

It requested through a signal connection with Red Kestrel: "Please hand over those semi-civilized entities that performed illegal surgery to us. We will supervise these individuals with significant defects and risks to prevent further disruption of order."

"Please also cooperate with our unified review. We will send a Law Enforcement Car to check whether your Mechanical lifeforms have been infected, spread, critically affected, or out of control."

"This is the last chance for your company."

This time, Zhou Yi didn't bother with pleasantries, replying curtly.

"Piss off."

The Floating craft only said, "Your company will pay a heavy price for this decision. It's truly regrettable."

That day.

Several sea lords from the Development Alliance hurried to the outskirts of Jade City.

"Mr. Zhou, the situation is bad. The sanctions have escalated."

Lord Sand Sea said with a worried frown, "According to the 412.39th announcement, Shell City, Steel Refining City, Tree Monster Territory, and Sand Port City have all been included."

"We are now banned from purchasing medicine and equipment from Mechanical City. In addition, air and maritime controls have been initiated, prohibiting us from approaching the air and sea territories near Mechanical City."

"The cooperative mining of the Light Amber Mine has been terminated by the Steel Refining Lord, claiming force majeure, refusing to compensate for any losses."

The concerned Steel Refining Lord said, "All the mining equipment for the Light Amber Mine has been taken away, and everything has to start from scratch. Moreover, because the gusher site has been specially modified, it will be very difficult for other organizations to take over."

"At the moment, my initial thought is to have Steel Refining City develop it themselves, and then slowly find suitable partners."

"The Light Amber Mine is always there. Although there are losses, we can gradually mitigate them. But the export of steel is now a significant problem..."
