"The Jade Skirt No. 2 starport has arrived, and the Sedimentary Rock-4787 starship will dock here for 1 hour, passengers who need to disembark should disembark in time, and pay attention to bringing luggage and accompanying elderly and children." Mechanical and ethereal voices surround the interior of the starship, and can be heard in every hallway, room, and dining room.

"Hurry up and eat, it's time to get there."

At the drunkenly lit dining table, two fat men in suits are dining, one wearing sunglasses and biting on a fat chicken leg, his eyes sweeping over the projection screen on the table from time to time, and the news of the jade skirt is being broadcast. Opposite him was another man who was fatter than him, the flesh on his cheeks was about to hang down, the originally neat collar had been torn open at the moment to facilitate ventilation and breathing, he was holding the torn roast suckling pork in one hand and a large bottle of Coke in the other, and kept pouring it.

"Hmph... Stomp, stomp. He slurred his words, then put down his Coke and waved at the self-discipline unit not far away.

"Another plate of roast lamb."

[Received a new request from the guests at table 7, as your ticket price includes the cost of food and beverages, there is no additional charge this time, please wait, the roast lamb will be prepared in 18 minutes.] ]

The hemispherical self-discipline unit moves in front of the fat man, displaying the pre-ordered meal on the screen, marking the countdown, cost, and more.

"You're still eating." The fat man in the sunglasses across from him complained a little.

"Boss, if you miss this time, you won't have the benefit of going to the planet for free." The fat man said honestly.

"Okay, give me three more steaks." The fat man in sunglasses thought about it, and he didn't eat it for nothing, so he added a few servings.

An hour later.

The pot-bellied two people stepped into the starport with huge suitcases, stood on the self-moving disc, and then waited for the disc to send the two and their luggage to the hall inside the starport.

Looking at the travelers and pedestrians all the way, the fat man in sunglasses said casually, "There are quite a lot of people here, and it's a good thing." ”

After that, the two transferred all the way and arrived at the most prosperous South District of the Jade Skirt that night.

The hovercar took the two to the front of the hotel and then lifted them up.

"This hotel looks good." The hotel in front of the two is 80 stories high, and the whole is shrouded in golden projection lights at night, which is particularly eye-catching.

"I'll just stay overnight, and tomorrow I'll have to find a chance to hide and then work." The fat man in sunglasses tugged at his tie, then took his companion and walked towards the hotel opposite.

"Why don't you stay a few more days, boss, it's comfortable to live here." The tall fat man in the back followed.

"You pay for it, the cost here is a lot, a few thousand federal dollars a night, I can't afford to live." The fat man in the sunglasses in front shook his head.

"It's just the first night, I need to keep a normal record, and I have to observe the situation, otherwise I won't live here."

"For this mission, the funds assigned to us over there are not much, so you can save it, you can remember it for me."

"Hey, okay, got the boss." After that, the two entered the hotel's glittering reception lobby.

Three days later, next to the street with a high concentration of colleges and universities in the first district of the south, a shop put up an event sign to promote the new song album.

"Singer Hesia's new album released! True fans can get free prizes~"

Some of the students walked into the store curiously and asked about the event.

Sitting next to the store's entrance are fat men of different sizes, dressed in support T-shirts and with encapsulated album video boxes on the side.

"Because you are a real fan to give gifts, here you need to answer some questions to be sure~" The fat man sitting behind the table wore sunglasses and explained to the guests who entered the store.

"Okay, here's the questionnaire, please fill it out one by one." Then a piece of paper covered with questions and lattices was placed in front of the guest.

[How many times have you seen Heshia live singing?] ]

[Please describe what you saw at the time and how you felt in your heart.] ]

[What are Hesia's natural abilities, and have you observed them carefully as a fan?] ]

[Each singer is different, but if you could use one thing as a metaphor, what do you think Hesia's singing voice should symbolize?] ]

[Why do you like Heshia, and what do you like best?] ]

[How important is Heshia to you, and why do you think so?] ]

The questionnaire was distributed to the students, and many of them began to fill it out patiently, sometimes discussing it with each other, and the store was filled with laughter from time to time.

Three days after the event, the two returned to their underground dwellings after collecting the questionnaires and began to scan the answers one by one and enter them into the AI database.

"Is such an investigation useful?" The big man on the side looked at the mountains of paper, and then the scanner on the side that kept making noises.

"Of course it works, but I picked it carefully."

"Other colleagues probably like to use hacking techniques to collect all kinds of residual images and comments on the Internet, but those things have made too many people and have no value for a long time, and they are estimated to have been cleaned up by the court, so they can't be taken seriously."

"This is the first district in the south, and it is also a college area very close to Edus Academy, many students are probably fans of Hesia, and they have had many opportunities to contact Hesia's real person, and have seen her performances live, this experience is often the most real."

"And students are not like adults, at least their minds are not so complicated, plus they are also fan assessments, and most of the things they write are close to their hearts, such as real feelings and thoughts, etc., even if there are perfunctory statements, they can be quickly eliminated, because there is no need to put effort into compiling them." The fat man in sunglasses leaned on the sofa next to him and said quite proudly.

"Each new album costs 400 federal coins, and if you draw a lottery, about five people will get one, a total of more than 4,000 questionnaires, about 800 copies, which is the cost of 320,000 federal coins, but the information we get, even if it can't completely satisfy the client, we can easily earn 200-4 million federal coins by selling it to other peers who inquire about Hesia's information, and if there is any special discovery, it will be a jackpot."

"The boss is amazing." The big man on the side scratched his head and said in admiration.

"This is called going to the front line and getting first-hand information, and those guys who can only find leftovers on the Internet will not understand." The fat man in sunglasses shook his fingers as he spoke.

"The boss is really wise."

"Heheo(* ̄) ̄*)o"

"That, boss, don't we continue to inquire about the information on the 'Gray Dust Crystal', that's what the commission requested."

"You don't understand, entrustment is entrustment, our ultimate goal is not to complete the entrustment, but to make money with the help of entrustment, do you know, making money is for pleasure and comfort, some entrustment is just to look at the completion, and it is better to really kill the work."

"Gray Dust Crystal is an old giant enterprise, and getting information from there is not something that people of our level can handle."

"However, if only part of the commission is completed, 70% of the commission will be deducted." The big man on the side still didn't understand.

"You're too stupid, we're just here to earn 30% of the commission, because this is the lowest difficulty, it's best to earn, the bones behind look tempting, but the risk and pay, I don't know how many times higher."

"Now there are a lot of people who are red at this commission, don't worry, in addition to you and me, there must be many big firms and powerful people looking for the loopholes of the gray dust crystal, we small fish just hide below and drink some soup, and those blue clothes in the court will not care about us."

The scrolling paper of the scanner in the room made a dripping sound, and as the questionnaires were entered, the on-site information about Heshia was continuously screened and summarized, and then the AI sorted out the finished data and slowly presented it.

[According to the analysis of the questionnaire, Heshea Tilan's natural abilities are mostly related to 'cold', 'condensation' and 'calm']

[Most of the audience at the scene said that Hesia's singing voice was extremely infectious, making people feel like they were there, as if they were singing softly in their own ears]

[The protective ability attached to the song is specifically manifested as blue flame surrounding, enhanced magic activity, and a small number of people have observed that there may be a slight time-stopping ability......]

[In the group that likes Hesia, the proportion of fanatics is much lower than the average of other singers, and they are more calm and rational]

After analyzing the information one by one, it was slowly presented, looking at these conclusions, the fat man in sunglasses was quite satisfied, he walked back and forth with the paper, thought about it, and added some specious conclusions by himself, which is not to say that he is conscientious and hard to analyze, just to make the conclusion of the information longer, look at the content more, and get the commission better.

Soon, this first-line analysis information was delivered to the client, and then the client at this level combined with the information of other investigators and reported it again.

Based on this information and analysis, the higher-level investigation organization then found the investigation reports of several other employment agencies to compare, and after sorting them out, they continued to upload the report.

In this way, when the information of each level, organization, and personnel is finally gathered in one place, all of them are entered into the super AI for further screening, inference, and analysis until the final answer appears.

"In other words, Hesia's innate ability is highly correlated with the rhythm crystals produced by the 'Gray Dust Crystal', right?" The man in gray rubbed his forehead and sat at his desk, with a projected screen in front of him, and the super AI was presenting the results of the analysis.

[Yes, there is a 91.35% chance that the production of the 'Rhythm Crystal' would not have been possible without the participation of Hesia herself.] ]

[The process may be that the Grey Dust Crystal has stored or sealed Hesia's innate abilities in some way, and then released them again.] ]

"With such sealing and cashing, can she afford the consumption alone?" The man in the gray suit was skeptical.

[If you have sufficient mana reserves, recovery rituals, supernatural potions, and other apportionment aids from other similar transcendents, this consumption can be reduced]

"With the help of all the technologies and means currently known on the market, calculate what is the limit of the production of 'gray dust crystals'."

[Calculating, please wait]

[If you use the legendary products of all known giant enterprises, with the best recovery ritual, unlimited supply of mana, about 2,000 similar transcendents of the same level to assist, with Heshia as the core, you can probably produce 2-40,000 cubic meters of 'rhythm crystals' per day, but this method is extremely expensive for me and difficult to last]

"In this way, Gray Dust Crystal should have exaggerated its own production capacity." When he heard the news, his heart could be described as happy and sad.

The good news is that the Gray Dust Crystal is not as powerful and terrifying as expected, but sadly, they have indeed mastered some kind of technology that they have not mastered before, which is probably the product of the combination of Singer's ability and own talent.

"If this news is poked out and the exaggerated and boasted output of Gray Dust Crystal is exposed, can it hit the other party."

[Under Analysis...... If it is publicized, and Gray Dust Crystal itself admits it, this can indeed damage the image and reputation of the other party, but with the excellence of the 'Rhythm Crystal', such an output is still within the tolerance range of the Star Domain Government, and the probability of a complete break between them and Gray Dust Crystal is less than 7%]

"Still won't work?" He leaned back in his office chair and looked up at the gloomy sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Gray Dust Crystal, Hesia, Starfield Government......" he whispered the names slowly.

In the past, even a large company like them didn't want to offend any of them, but now......

If they give up, then the gray dust crystal will rise after that, coupled with the high degree of cooperation with the star domain government, they will soon be able to control most of the power of the four-leaf crystal star field, and at that time, it will not only be a matter of losing money.

His hand was raised, and he wanted to pick up the communicator he had dialed before, but after a pause of more than ten seconds, he put it down again, and the entanglement and torment in his heart made him look pained and frowned.

No, he'll have to figure out how to solve the problem.

Suddenly, the man sat up, and he stood up and walked up and down the room, thinking about how to do it.

If I feel that I am not at ease, what about the others, are they the same as me now, thinking of this, he contacted several core forces who were also in the camp of St. Ingo one after another.

“…… Then it's decided, tomorrow there will be a special meeting, and you will all be there. With that, the man hung up the communication, and the man breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned and thought about how to convince these people to be in step with him tomorrow.

After a long time, he raised his head sharply, looked at the paused rain outside the window, and gradually dispersed the dark white sky, and took a deep breath.

"You forced us, Heshea Tilan."

When you think about it, this girl in this storm is like the most critical eye of the storm and the junction of gears, as long as she stops, all storms and upheavals will slow down.

The momentum of Eddes and the Grey Dust Crystal is indeed daunting now, but it is all up to the girl, if she turns around and disappears, or falls asleep, it will be like a high-speed machine chain breaking, and everything will be in vain.

Although moving a singer is an absolute red line and a big reversal in the Federation, the result in front of me is too tempting, so tempting that I can't sway when I think about it.

Do you want to do it, if you succeed, even if you are suspected and punished by cutting your flesh, as long as there is no tangible evidence, how bad can it be, and then spend decades of hibernation and slowly recover.
