Sampo lowered his head and looked at the boy in front of him who seemed to be a colleague, feeling the cheerfulness and optimism coming from him.
For a moment, he actually couldn't figure out what exactly Nero wanted to do.
Sampo's rich experience and his previous encounters made him instantly raise his guard to the highest level. This was a confrontation between fools, whoever lost would become the joke.
He absolutely could not be fooled by the other person's appearance.
But…
Sampo's gaze stayed on Nero's face. He observed his eyes, his expression, and even the subtle twitching of his facial muscles, yet he couldn't see even the slightest trace of disguise.
It really seemed as if this boy in front of him was just naturally blazing like a furnace.
This made Sampo sigh inwardly, This level of disguise, he's already blended perfectly with these Nameless. If the 'Elation' hadn't given me a heads-up beforehand, he probably would've fallen for it…
In a certain sense, he's even more impressive than Firefly's transformation disguise.
No wonder he could become his colleague at such a young age.
Nero's difficulty level in Sampo's mind started climbing for no reason. In just less than a single system-time of contact, Sampo was already sweating bullets trying to protect his own stage.
He felt like he was tackling a math problem so hard that even the geniuses of the Genius Society would have to gather in a group for a few days to solve it.
But where would Sampo ever imagine, Nero wasn't disguising anything at all.
Aside from wanting to leech screen time to boost his popularity, his curiosity toward adventure was real, his liking for the train crew was real, and his desire to pet Pom-Pom was also completely real…
For Nero, creating a special persona too different from his actual personality would be exhausting.
It was simply unnecessary.
Though only a few seconds passed, a storm had already raged inside Sampo's mind as countless thoughts flooded him.
Sampo used his smart fool's brain to guess Nero's intentions, but all of them failed.
Meanwhile, March 7th was excited.
After hearing Nero's words, the imaginative girl's mind immediately caught onto his train of thought.
March was very excited. She looked at him and said, "Right! Whether something sells well has everything to do with advertising! The train's broadcast always plays the Interastral Peace Corporation's commercials, so many times I almost wanted to place an order!"
Stelle spread her hands helplessly beside her, golden eyes full of resignation, "But the funds are lacking. Though the train isn't exactly poor, we really don't have spare money to buy those decorations that sound great thanks to advertising, but become obviously useless the moment you think about them."
Stelle's repetition symptoms still seemed active, her tone and the way she looked at March were identical to Dan Heng standing nearby.
"But this heater Nero made is totally different!"
March drew a circle with her hands, gesturing as she continued, "Never mind that Jarilo obviously needs this kind of thing, the universe is huge, and with so many planets, there must be plenty with harsh environments!"
"And besides planets with bad environments, even just convenient tools like this would be super popular!"
Hearing March's words, Nero nodded, then said, "For example, taking a hot bath would be way easier, just toss it in and the water heats up. Of course it can also be used for making fire."
"Although they're Fragmentum creatures, as elemental crystals they're clearly all-natural and harmless."
"And we can even use them to improve, or even reconstruct, a pipeline system based on Fragmentum creatures, bringing greater convenience to life across the universe."
Nero raised a finger and spoke confidently, his young face full of pride. Sometimes he truly felt like a genius.
"Besides that, these Fragmentum spawns definitely need to be captured if they're going to be used as raw materials. There are so many planets troubled by Fragmentum creatures because of the Stellaron's influence, capturing them would actually help relieve local tension to some extent.
"And if mass production or pipeline construction is needed, even more Fragmentum creatures will be required. An increased demand for Fragmentum creatures equals increased demand for labor."
"This will definitely create a large number of jobs for professional Fragmentum creature catchers. From another angle, this means providing a ton of job opportunities, helping people avoid the crisis of unemployment!"
Listening to the two describe things, Stelle also nodded and summarized, "So, if we promote Fragmentum creature products, not only can we earn credit points, the products themselves don't cause any harm."
"And on top of that, the popularity of these products would drive economic development and reduce job shortages in the universe."
"It's completely a hundred-benefits-no-harm kind of thing!"
March put her hands on her waist, nodding seriously, as if she were already imagining a bright future.
"We can leave the technical side to Herta, and the advertising and construction can be connected through Herta and the company's people! If that's the case, we'd have more credit points than we could ever spend!"
Dan Heng crossed his arms and quietly listened to their discussion. His brows showed a bit of thought, and then he nodded in agreement.
The whole thing sounded pretty good.
When negotiating with Herta and the company's people, he, Himeko, and Mr. Welt would think things through. The rest could be left to these three.
Then Dan Heng opened his eyes, took out his phone, and wrote down the item "Fragmentum Creature Product Matters" in his notes.
Sampo also completely threw aside whatever tricks he suspected Nero of planning.
To be honest, this young colleague's idea was really quite appealing.
Just listening to these Nameless dream out loud, he already wanted to join in.
As for the success rate of the plan, conservatively, it was more than 80%. After all, the Nameless had an excellent reputation in the universe, and they had countless organizations on good terms with them.
Just the "Herta" and "the Company" mentioned by the pink-haired girl were enough to make one sincerely think of the words "reliable."
As a member of the Genius Society, Herta naturally had the ability to develop the related technology. As for advertising, selling, and construction, wasn't that exactly what the Interastral Peace Corporation did best?
This business was worth it.
Way more profitable than Sampo rummaging for boxes in the snow.
Thinking this, Sampo couldn't help but look at Nero again.
How could he have assumed the new colleague was so bad?
Even if he was a fool, he was still a kid.
Look at that innocent face, he didn't look like someone planning to scam anyone.
Besides, although turning Fragmentum creatures into product materials was funny, it didn't harm his stage at all…
At this moment, Sampo suddenly felt enlightened and refreshed.
The blue-haired fool's face once again showed a businessman's smile. He opened his mouth and said, "Well said, well said. Be sure to count me, Sampo, in on this deal!"
"Of course, we can't discuss business out here in the freezing snow."
"'The City of Preservation,' 'The Everwinter City,' 'Humanity's only bulwark against the cold', our Belobog isn't far from here! Follow me!"
