Thirteen, any disruption of the existing order will be considered a provocation against the shareholders and will result in immediate execution; if the leader launches a war, the company will directly destroy the city and the entire army.

Fourteen, shareholders are responsible to the company. In the event of a devastating crisis, shareholders have the responsibility to make every effort to ensure the survival of the company and its employees, including any branches established by the company.

Fifteen, except for Article Fourteen, the shareholders have the right to modify, change or supplement the remaining provisions at any time without the permission of anyone.

These fifteen articles were drafted by Yaochi on the spot without consulting anyone.

She knew it was very unrigorous and had many loopholes, but it didn't matter. No matter how unrigorous or how many loopholes it had, the subordinates still had to follow it.

Even sloppiness and loopholes can be part of demonstrating dominance, telling everyone that from now on, the Earth is decided by its shareholders, and even wrong decisions must be carried out.

Yaochi received many letters of opinion, such as non-human players wanting to establish their own branch companies and the ocean wanting its own rights. She threw these away after reading them, keeping only two: one from the Magic World and the other from the Central King of the Four Seasons Star.

Both also requested to become branches, becoming part of the Earth Corporation.

Yaochi agreed.

After all, with two new branches outside Earth, the more development tax shareholders collect—each player pays one game coin per month—the more they earn.

She only replied with the word "permitted." Specific matters, such as the Magic Branch's desire to charge tolls to personnel from other companies entering the Magic World, and the Central King's wish to enter the Magic World, were handed over to the next level of decision-making body.

The next level of decision-making body consists of the presidents of each branch company and the five team leaders of the development group. This is also the actual leadership structure of the Earth Corporation.

Shareholders only intervene in the affairs of the parent company when they themselves struggle to reach an internal consensus.

Of course, shareholders have the right to issue any order to the company at any time.

She was making the decisions, while Aferona was in charge of the final on-site crackdown, hunting down those former nobles who had escaped or gone into hiding with their props.

Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia were inspecting the S- and S-level items that had been recovered—not a single one was S+ level.

Grade A items are already powerful enough, but let alone Grade A, even if the recycling range is expanded to Grade A+, the two of them wouldn't be able to keep up for a while.

Moreover, A+ grade items can barely be used by players below the Human Immortal level, and recycling them would cause conflicts, unlike S- and S grade items, which, although precious, have not yet been used by players below the Human Immortal level.

The Little Jade Cauldron, being an S-rank item that any player can use, is practically the S-rank among S-rank items. In other words, if S-rank items were ranked, the Little Jade Cauldron would still be an S-rank item.

This might be because Li Changzhou was still below the Human Immortal level when he drew the prize, so the game only put items that could be used by those below the Human Immortal level in the prize pool.

Li Qianxia glanced around, then leaned closer to Yang Qinglan and whispered, "Qinglan, are all of these... now ours?"

Have you ever heard the story of "draining the pond to catch all the fish"?

"How many should we take?"

"One item per person," Yang Qinglan said. "Giving others some hope will help them find items for us. Also, prioritize items that can deal with the ancient gods, and secondly, items that can help us in the mission."

There's another reason not to take more: S-rank and S-rank items consume too much of your energy.

A prime example is Yang Qinglan's candle, which requires 2000 points of ability to light—the entire ability of a first-class immortal!

In the previous battle on Mars, Yang Qinglan didn't use it and handed it over to Li Qianxia. After entering the battle, Li Qianxia used all her abilities to ignite the candles and then used the Chaos Series - Flame Butterfly to restore her condition.

But the greater the consumption, the greater the effect. Before the candle burned out, Li Qianxia killed eight immortals all by herself without suffering any harm!

Logically, the candle should have been placed with Li Qianxia, ​​as only she could maximize its effectiveness. For example, if she and Yaochi were besieged, the candle could have killed twenty of their opponents if it had been in her possession.

Yang Qinglan thought so too, but Li Qianxia refused.

“I’ve encountered enemies and Flame Butterflies. What about you, Qinglan? If I take the candle away too, what will you do if you’re surrounded? You won’t even have time to summon my brother to save you.”

Lighting the candle will consume all of Yang Qinglan's abilities, but she will be safe even without any abilities until the candle goes out.

A candle isn't necessarily used to kill enemies—some enemies can't be killed even with a candle; it's used to save one's life.

In the natural selection process of the value game, survival is victory. The Chaos series - Flame Butterfly and Candle, plus Li Changzhou's teleportation, allow the three to help each other.

As for Yaochi...

This is an opportunity for her to choose good props.

Yang Qinglan made her first choice, which was Xiaojing, the same girl Li Qianxia had wanted to choose last time.

"With this, combined with our current items and skills, we can improve our survival rate whether we enter dungeons or face the ancient gods in the future."

Xiaojing is a very exquisite antique mirror. Three gemstones are inlaid on the edge of the mirror surface, and between the gemstones are intricate branch patterns. The branches are growing leaves and preparing to bloom.

The time between the blooming and withering of flowers is the time when you can load a save file, which is also the time of sunrise on Earth.
