"You have been chosen to be a guardian, and you will fight for...the company!"

349. Product: Universe

People who vacillate between two forces that are stronger than themselves are generally called wallflowers - this is a derogatory term, no doubt about it.

People who can freely sway the filtering conditions in front of two parties and shop around are generally called middlemen - which is considered a compliment.

Mu Feng is such a middleman.

He controlled the big traveler and narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the countless selected Marvel natives become his first batch of 'employees' who could be freely manipulated.

"Then these people will be your first batch of 'employees'."

The Black Rubik's Cube was suspended in front of Mu Feng, and what came from it was the voice of the 'system'.

"Doesn't the company say anything about 'defectors' like me?"

Mu Feng looked at this thing that had stayed in his body for a long time and kept him awake at night with great interest, and said softly

"Where, the company also wants to thank you for building a bridge of cooperation for us."

The system said calmly

"After the company's development plan for the Marvel Universe was discovered by the five gods of the universe, the company planned to completely abandon this market. It will guide and launch you into this universe just to test the reaction of the local market."

"So, I've become a guinea pig for your experiments?"

Mu Feng's tone was quite unkind

"Of course, but the premise is that you choose to take our hook for this benefit. Otherwise, how could you join our plan?"

The system said happily

"Friend, these are all businesses, don't tell me you don't understand!"

Although in theory there is no need to accept the constraints of the company after being promoted to management, both the parallel world No. 0013 that was separated into Mu Feng's hands and the world he came from are within the jurisdiction of the company.

Perhaps a long time ago, the company adopted the same method as him or the reincarnators in the main god space next door, changing and polluting those worlds by releasing time travelers on a large scale, forcing them to cut out these dangerous worlds and hand them over to the company.

Unless Mu Feng completely gives up those two worlds and completely abandons all connections between the Black Cube and the company, he will always be controlled by the company.

So, where would any pie fall from the sky?

Regardless of the system or the reincarnation, they are essentially just examples of the 'company' casting a wide net to catch more fish. Those seemingly loss-making expenditures in the early stage are just a kind of training cost.

Whether it's the One Piece world or the One Punch Man world, including the parallel world No. 0013 he experienced, they are all worlds controlled by the company. In fact, the company can't get any benefits from intervening in those worlds.

Those worlds were just the cost of his trial. It was not until the beginning of the dungeon world that he was gradually trying to gain profits. After training in a certain world, his business ability level was formally evaluated.

The result was naturally unexpectedly good, even better than expected. Not only did he use two worlds to get the company to certify that he had passed the training, but he also used one world to get the company's entire investment back - even where he was. The department also severely cheated the next door.

Even if it consumes 10,000 resources, as long as it cultivates an excellent seed like Mu Feng, even if it is not as good as him, the company can earn back the cost hundreds or thousands of times!

From another perspective, the so-called detached partners, whether they are Mu Feng or those in the main god space, are just workers in another company.

Even if they come into contact with the real "core business" of these companies, the companies may clean up their doors...

"I know what you're thinking. You don't have to think of us in such a scary way."

As if it had seen through what Mu Feng was thinking, the system was very dissatisfied and said

"Your predecessor really died because of blindly exploring the Marvel Universe market and had nothing to do with the company."

hehe

Mu Feng smiled and said nothing. It didn't matter if what he said was true or false. Anyway, as always, he wouldn't believe a word of this company.

But he doesn't need to care about that now.

By over-exploiting the Marvel world beyond the company's imagination, Mu Feng successfully reached a higher level.

That is the level of the five gods of the universe that is equal to the company.

Although the essence is still out of reach, he has the qualifications to negotiate deals with them, and with this, he can become completely 'independent' from the company.

but……

Why did he do this?

If he wanted to be independent before so that he could completely control his destiny in his own hands, then under the current situation, complete independence is a loss-making deal for him.

Yes, the company that is holding him hostage is indeed a disgusting object, but on the other hand, they are also the investors who have provided Mu Feng to this day, as well as the headhunters and talent market owners who have a vast market and a lot of opportunities!

Anyone who does business must understand the most basic truth - there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Not to mention that the company is not actually a sworn enemy to him. Although they forced investment in Mu Feng, a potential stock, and planned to harvest it, Mu Feng also relied on their forced angel investment to go from a mediocre company to a promising one. Mortals have grown to where they are today.

This is a mutually beneficial relationship. Although it may be full of unfair elements, at the very least, they each get what they need!

And Mu Feng knows very well that if he wants to continue to develop, there is no reason to abandon such a huge resource of the company and not use it!

Since the company doesn't intend to deal with Mu Feng, Mu Feng certainly doesn't want to deal with the company either.

This has nothing to do with feelings, everything is interests. What maintains businessmen is only simple interests.

"So, have you drafted a new contract?" Mu Feng said softly.

From the initial employee contract, to the partnership contract, and now to the business partner contract.

Mu Feng can be regarded as having completely completed a 'class jump'.

"Yes, you can take a look. This is the result of the unanimous decision-making process of all the company's decision-makers... You are really a miracle." The system exclaimed while creating a piece of parchment containing a huge amount of information.

"Since the company officially started making profits, you are the only one who has been able to officially become our partner from an employee."

Mu Feng ignored him and quickly read through the millions of clauses and supplementary clauses as well as countless 'annotations on word meanings'.

He was silent for a moment, considering the terms above.

He won't worry about the company trying to trick him. Strictly speaking, this thing has no compulsory effect - after all, there can't be any devil's contract in this world that can bind them.

Their cooperation is based on a deep exchange of interests and almost no trust.

It is naturally impossible to explain these clauses one by one, but to put it simply, there are only a few contents.

The company agreed to the conditions proposed by Mu Feng.

They will completely transfer control of parallel world No. 0013 and Mu Feng's home universe to Mu Feng's hands - of course, Mu Feng will immediately transfer the most valuable parts of it to the world that is already under his actual control. in the universe.

In contrast, the company also made a request to Mu Feng.

In the universe that he actually controls, he must transfer control to the company one hundred years before the expiration date, and under certain conditions, he must help the company "smuggle" some people into the Marvel Universe.

Mu Feng sternly rejected this clause.

He has not lived enough yet. The prerequisite for shopping around is that you have the conditions to negotiate with the three families. The prerequisite for him to be able to attract the five gods of the universe to cooperate with him is that he will not help the company continue to poison the universe.

The company deeply regrets Mu Feng's choice and said without hesitation that practicing the previous one is enough.

It’s an old-fashioned technique of opening the window first, but it works at any time.

Mu Feng didn't have any objections to this. He didn't know why the company wanted to leave the Heart of the Universe a hundred years in advance, but for him, this was not a deal that couldn't be done.

Although this universe may contain some unimaginable value, the result will be the same if it is handed over a hundred years earlier or if it is faced with Annihilation head-on a hundred years later.

If he is able to default on his debt in the future, it will be the same whether he defaults on his debt with Annihilation or with the company.

And then, there are the terms of cooperation.

The company will open up all databases and business templates to Mufeng, provide him with all the company's information and free channels for market development, and give him the power to select employees in all the worlds that the company actually controls.

Based on this world, Mufeng will carry out in-depth cooperation with the company and implement the company's basic business in depth.

That is - occupying the world.

Of course, the price to be paid is real. Mu Feng has to pay the price of one universe for every five universes he actually controls.

He gets four shares, and the company that provides channels and preliminary business operation methods and profit realization takes one share.

The conditions may seem a little harsh, but for Mu Feng, as long as he masters the method of developing the market on his own in the later stage, he can act on his own without relying on the company's channels and ignoring the company's commission.

Regarding this clause, Mu Feng still tried his best to negotiate and fight for it.

Eventually, he changed the split from 82 to 5/6 to 1/6.

This means that Mu Feng will be able to form a platform and group similar to the Lord God Space or the Magic Item Company from now on, and carry out destructive colonization of other worlds.

After that, there are a lot of miscellaneous items and word-by-word explanations.

Mu Feng didn't care what tricks the company was playing on it. As he said, the devil's cleverness couldn't be used to maintain the terms of their previous deal.

Mufeng got what he wanted, and the company also got a new target that could open up more benefits and markets for them!

Moreover, at the end of the contract, the company solemnly issued a true invitation to Mu Feng.

They invited Mu Feng to join the company's decision-making level, and invited Mu Feng to officially become a member of the 'shareholders meeting'.

Mufeng will truly become a "high-power" person in it, and the new group and platform established in his universe will become the third largest department independent of the Lord God Space and the Magical Props Company!

Mu Feng did not agree, nor did he object immediately. This might be a trap, or it might be an opportunity.

But even if he wanted to join this decision-making group, Mu Feng felt that he needed to gain more bargaining chips for himself.

They signed their names with mutual satisfaction.

Mufeng saw many 'familiar' names on that parchment, such as Saint Tzeentch, such as Pepatua, such as Nyarlathotep, such as...

But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether the name is real or whether the company's decision-makers are these people.

"It's a pleasure to work with you - as much as I want to say this, I'm afraid I'm going to have to call you 'boss' next."

The Black Rubik's Cube turned into a ray of light and entered Mu Feng's body again, but this time he would not reject him, because the relationship between them has changed from a puppet controlled by the system to one that controls the system as a means of communication. Terminal leader.

"So boss, are we going to leave here for the handover ceremony between the two worlds?"

"……No."

Mu Feng rejected the system's slightly flattering words and said calmly

"Let me witness the end of another universe's story."

What's more, Mu Feng never thought that the universe would be handed over to his hands so easily.

…

The truth contained in this dark universe is sometimes darker and deeper than all of this.

Thanos is always pursuing what he desires.

Summoned from another world, Thanos will never forget what he desires, what he needs, what he pursues...

Death, his death.

All he wants is death! All he desires is his own lady!

The crazy, cruel, and tyrannical Mad Titan loved the Lady Death so much that he wished he could bind her to his side forever, and wished that Lady Death could only be his possession.

All love is classified as endless possessiveness at the end, and Thanos' love is so hot and pure, so it is so full of endless possessive desire.

But this in itself is an impossibility.

How do you imprison death? How can you turn the end of the passing of all life in this universe into your property?

Regardless of how such a thing should be done, if Thanos really does it, it will be an irreversible disaster.

If the entire universe loses death, the basic rules that make it up will collapse instantly.

Life will never rest in eternal pain, without a final destination, so there will be no birth of any new life. The basic concept of the existence of the universe will completely collapse, and all that will remain is a name. It’s just an empty shell of the universe.

Death and life are completely opposite but infinitely close concepts. Without death, life would have no meaning. If death disappears, life will naturally have no conditions for existence. The opposition of duality is the basic law of the existence of the universe.

Imprisoning death, in other words, is to destroy the current universe. If the universe is destroyed, death will inevitably enter the next stage with the reincarnation of the universe.

So this is a paradox in itself.

But what this world, this universe lacks most is things like ‘paradoxes’.

Thanos must admit that he cannot and cannot completely keep Death at bay, but perhaps he can do so in other ways.

Just like Thanos who summoned her, he has actually accomplished this impossible thing.

He allowed death to come to Hela's body, turning the infinite invisible death into a touchable and existing goddess of death. Death has a body, which means that she has descended from a concept into a separate individual.

Maybe death can leave that body at any time——

Then all Thanos has to do is to make death unable to leave there.

Then he would imprison death and make his lady something that was his alone.
