When Yun You walked into the office of the building step by step with that fish, Frost Moon and Aurora were dumbfounded.

The two of them simultaneously rubbed their eyes, thinking they had hallucinated from exhaustion over the past few days.

It wasn't until Yun You accidentally slipped, causing the fat fish to crash down and make a deep pit in the floor, that they realized this thing was not an illusion...

"Um..."

Aurora couldn't resist whispering to Frost Moon, "Frost Moon, you've known her longer, are you sure our boss sister... doesn't have any strange hobbies?"

"I used to be certain."

Frost Moon swallowed, hesitated for a long time, and then shook his head.

"But now I can't say..."

The two of them quietly grumbled.

Seeing this, Yun You shook her head helplessly but didn't bother to explain.

Just now, when she passed by the "Huangxing Bar," the owner Casidale and the other patrons were even more shocked than the two, dropping their glasses to the ground.

The puzzled and bewildered looks followed Yun You all the way.

Some fishing enthusiasts trailed the little girl, trying to ask her about the brand of bait and the fishing spot, even willing to pay a lot of money to buy it.

Yun You had almost gotten used to it, so in the end, if someone asked, she just said that she had caught it herself and carrying it around was just a unique hobby of an Apprentice Death God.

After all, the hobbies of an Apprentice Death God are diverse and can include all kinds of bizarre interests.

...

Soon, Yun You ignored her partners' puzzled looks and briefly explained the company's decisions.

Under the arrangements made by Aurora and Frost Moon over the past day, the Huangxing Group had gradually resumed production and started implementing a new work system, recruiting workers and management personnel.

Companies that once had contracts with rushed to Huangxing Group, signing new supply agreements with the group.

Although they were all personally sought out by Black Tiger Yang Lie and had a good relationship with him, logically, they should be distancing themselves from Yun You, the "enemy."

But... the essence of business people is ultimately profit-seeking.

It's too costly to offend a living new Apprentice Death God with a promising future over a dead man and pay some breach-of-contract compensation.

So, most companies did not hesitate to abandon Yang Lie and instead gave Yun You a smile.

As long as they could make money, a little bit of grudge was nothing; who they cooperated with was irrelevant.

For those few stubborn ones unwilling to cooperate, Aurora did not let them off easily.

Leveraging Yun You's connections, the Huangxing Group could link up with the Nest Capital Court to easily find a legal department willing to serve the group. Those litigators would use their eloquence and upside-down arguments to sue those who broke agreements to bankruptcy.

In the meantime, Aurora also connected with Casidale, planning to relocate the main store of Huangxing Bar to the mining site to expand into larger service and entertainment industries.

One must admit, Aurora's ability is incredibly strong... In just one day, she managed the group in an orderly fashion.

Although Yun You never looked at financial reports and couldn't understand them even if she tried, Aurora clearly informed her of one statistic.

"Before the end of the year, I can achieve a revenue of 100 million for this quarter, with a net profit of over 40 million."

So, Yun You gave her response.

"Go all out, I fully support you."

Yun You's vision was never limited to a small regional mining company but was aimed at becoming a commercial giant that could influence the entire Nest City and even the world—a super composite encompassing military, technology, food, entertainment, and media.

Aurora was the same, which is why the two could stand together and proceed without reservations.

After giving instructions, Yun You followed the location provided by Old Jin and took a hovercar to a special area.

...

Nest City No. 3, Area 11.

The vast sandy barren land stretched from under people's feet all the way to the distant horizon.

The ground was marked with circular burn marks and craters, with cracks embedded with shell fragments. Judging by the gray metallic sheen on their surfaces, they weren't military products from a battlefield but police weapons remnants used to suppress inmate riots.

Every fifteen meters, a beehive-like sentry tower would stand on the wasteland, embedded with hexagonal composite armor shells. Different posts were connected by electrified metal nets, with vibration sensors hanging on the nets, swaying in the wind and emitting a light "clinking" sound, similar to the collision of glass shards.

About three hundred gray concrete circular walls were distributed in concentric circles throughout the area, surrounded by numerous sentry towers and automated machine gun turrets.

This was the most common "detention center" in Nest City, or it could be called a "prison."

The surface of all walls was flowing with iridescent data streams, refreshing waves every few seconds, proving the high-voltage electricity and defense systems on the walls were still operational.

Above some of the prisons floated holographic screens with different colored fonts, indicating the types of Mortals within: crimson for [Data Thieves], light blue for [Prosthetic Body Pirates and Smugglers], gray-green for [Cyber Psychopaths], and so on.

In the center of the area stood a silver-white building, the only structure breaking the height restriction. Its surface was covered with energy ripples like mercury, but it was not an energy shield. Instead, it was an anti-electron nano-coating, capable of blocking most prohibited communication signals.

This area, officially named "Nest City No. 3 Detention Zone," was the only prison area in Nest City. The whole region was forcibly "sandified," killing all flora and fauna, replacing the organic-rich soil with sand and stone, solely for imprisoning all criminals.

Because of this, people preferred to call it—the Desert Prison.

And the silver-white building was the only council official institution, the [Prison Police Station], within the prison.

Yun You took a prison-dedicated unmanned transport vehicle, passing through electronic inspections, slowly flying to the Prison Police Station along with other unmanned vehicles.

It is no exaggeration to say that this nearly 400-meter-tall silver-white building was the most magnificent architectural structure Yun You had ever seen.

But at this moment, the little girl's gaze was attracted by something else.

It was a 30-meter-diameter space elevator...

Its base penetrated the building, with carbon nanotubes soaring into the sky, the thick cables wrapped in ionized blue light, like a man-made spine piercing the firmament. Arranged around the base were twenty ring-shaped electromagnetic accelerators—which Yun You had seen online, one priced at 1.2 billion. The liquid nitrogen ejected from its cooling tubes created layers of crystalline whirlpools on the sandy ground.

The top of the space elevator disappeared into the thick gray clouds, and above the cloud layer, the faint outline of a black fortress could be seen.

This was the most dangerous... likely without exception—the [Floating Island] prison of Nest City No. 3.
