After Fast Feet and Big Mouth went to Jupiter's moon Europa, new Bone Fish employees filled the vacancies. Fortunately, the two electrical cat partners were experienced and quickly got the new recruits familiar with the processes.

Zhou Yi announced the Giant Bone Fish's selection of Bone Fish at the company.

This was a dual selection.

Not only did the Earth Ghost have to approve, but the Bone Fish in orbit also had to be willing to go.

The company had a total of 24 Bone Fish working on satellite operations, but the Giant Bone Fish ultimately only took Fast Feet and Big Mouth.

According to Fast Feet: "Chairman, Mr. Earth Ghost uses a very special cosmic ray to select Bone Fish individuals that match his frequency."

"This is somewhat like... a selection of character and tendencies."

"Mr. Earth Ghost said that character is most important; deficiencies in strength and talent can be made up for later. However, if one's character is not stable and restrained, possessing great power could bring disaster to oneself and others."

In short.

The Giant Bone Fish also needs to see eye-to-eye and match its frequency to select them for training and development.

So not just anyone can go to Jupiter's moon Europa.

According to the current ratio, even for the carefully cultivated Rocket Bone Fish by the company, the selection rate is only 1/12. If this is viewed as a basic selection process, then the acceptance rate is only 8.3%.

A month later, another Rocket Bone Fish "Ancient Overlord" was noticed by the Earth Ghost.

It also reported this to the company.

This second-generation Rocket Bone Fish is younger than Fast Feet and the others, with a more lively and bold personality. You can actually tell from the name; the first generation named themselves more plainly, usually representing some of their specialties, while the second generation is more personalized.

This generation formally gave themselves the surname "Gu," a homophone for Bone Fish, followed by their names.

It sounds much more formal.

The second generation of Bone Fish was born during a time of rapid company development and expansion.

Affected by this environment, they also compete for various resources and positions. The sooner they can evolve into Rocket Bone Fish, the sooner they can get into space and receive more Light Seed wages, paid vacations, and optional positions.

The Ancient Overlord is one of the leaders, having only entered satellite orbit earlier this year.

This second-generation Rocket Bone Fish is larger and stronger than the first generation, nearly 7 meters long, filled with black Light Soot muscles all over, truly living up to the name of Overlord in terms of size.

It confidently said: "Chairman, I have already started a family; I am a Bone Fish with family responsibilities."

Zhou Yi was hearing this for the first time: "You have a partner?"

"Yes."

"Then what about your partner if you go to Jupiter's moon Europa?"

"It goes with me."

Zhou Yi was surprised: "Does the Earth Ghost now provide a system for accompanying families?"

"No, Chairman, look."

The Ancient Overlord opened its massive mouth, and a rotating Stone Gyro rolled out of the wide cavity.

"This is my family, Tatulu."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

What is this situation? How did Bone Fish start building families with the Moon People?

"Chairman, it's like this."

The Ancient Overlord said: "Earlier, I worked in the Moon Affairs Department. On the Moon, Minister Jacob was further cultivating Bone Men and Bone Fish. Because the environment on the Moon is very suitable for Bone Men and Bone Fish, the low gravity is beneficial for us to move over large areas, and the high energy allows us to grow quickly..."

"In Guanghan Palace City, many Moon People have already settled, and we have become familiar with them. Most Moon People are very easy-going, they value loyalty, and are very generous, so later on, everyone became friends and buddies."

"The department has two senior physical therapists, Teacher An Hong and Teacher Chen Shi, who went there from the company's headquarters because of the increasing number of Bone Men on the Moon who need their help. They found that Moon People are very compatible with Bone Men and Bone Fish; they perfectly complement each other's shortcomings when living together."

Zhou Yi remembered.

That was a long time ago, with two Bone Men from Small Mountain Town in Fishing City, where An Hong was the local mayor. At his invitation, they all came to the company to serve as physical therapists for Bone Men and Bone Fish.

Later, when the Moon Affairs Department was established, they also applied to work at the Bone Fish and Bone Man training center there. Many Bone Fish incubated by the Agriculture Department were sent to the training center for advanced learning.

The training center learned from 404 City's Verne's advanced experience, and with the help of mechanical and electrical experts, they set up the underground White Bone Tower [Bone State Hard Disk] to record and back up information for Bone Fish and Bone Men.

The Bone State Hard Disk records a wealth of essential foundational knowledge and experience, allowing newly born Bone Fish to bypass the most challenging initial imitation learning and accumulation. By simply installing a standard Memory Bone into their bodies, they can acquire this part of the experience.

The second generation Rocket Bone Fish are direct beneficiaries.

However, Zhou Yi wasn't very knowledgeable about more subsequent details; on the Moon side, he focused on the Heavenly People Gem and the Little People in the Bottle.

The Ancient Overlord immediately introduced: "The Moon People's physique is strong, possessing three abilities: detonation, marking, and shielding, with a high energy conversion and absorption rate. However, they cannot leave the ground, relying entirely on body rotation for movement."

"We Bone Fish are agile, able to move freely within the coverage of the Death Light, but lack strength and capability. With cooperation, we can reach higher and farther places."

"The first to do this were the company's Bone Men. They are smarter and more perceptive than us, inviting some Moon People to reside within their chests and then connecting and communicating through the Consciousness Nerve."

"The Moon People need to absorb the Life Core to complete their transformation, during which they require weeks or even months of sleep. At this time, the Bone Men can protect them, and the Moon People, like a newly installed heart for the Bone Men, can provide an inexhaustible source of energy, and their abilities can be utilized."

Based on this, An Hong and Chen Shi also found mechanical and electrical experts to jointly design a metal frame that allows the Moon People to continue rotating within the Bone Fish and Bone Men without damaging the bones. This allows the Klip Rock stone gyroscope of the Moon People to continue spinning within a metal cage.

As the first to take the plunge, the Bone Men, relying on their eloquence and vision, reaped significant rewards.

With the Moon People heart, the strength of these company Bone Men employees surged. They found it extremely easy to operate the Wasteland Armor, and the speed at which they collected Consciousness Fragments from the outside world boosted dramatically.

"...Now these Bone Men use the Wasteland Armor to collect at a rate 80 times more efficient than before."

The Ancient Overlord said: "It's still because of the Moon People. The Moon People are like an energy vortex, not only absorbing energy but also attracting Consciousness Fragments, much like a super vacuum cleaner."

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "The Moon People are willing to remain connected to the Bone Men long-term just for a stable carrier?"

He found it a bit hard to understand.

The company had made considerable efforts previously, but most of these Moon natives were very conservative, with few willing to join the company. Now, the Bone Men have directly won them over?

"Chairman, there's actually another most crucial reason."

The Ancient Overlord explained: "The Bone Men discovered that besides the Life Core, the Moon People also have a strong liking for gold, so they promised to provide gold to them."

"...The Moon People like gold?"

Zhou Yi was baffled.

Although gold indeed is a remnant of the Sun and has enormous value, he had never heard of the Moon People having this preference before.

"It was also discovered by chance."

The Ancient Overlord's Big Mouth opened and closed: "The Life Core is most important to the Moon People, as it's their elixir for escaping the cycle of death. However, after the company resolved this, the Moon People were no longer so tense and urgent, and just took up work at the Moon Affairs Department."

"The Moon People's fondness for gold is somewhat akin to... humans liking beauty, Bone Men liking beautiful bones; it's a secondary need. Gold can make them feel pleased and in a better state."

"They implant gold into their bodies, requiring a very high purity—at least 6N grade. This level exceeds the standard of ordinary gold jewelry and bars; it's used for high-precision components, and it's also very expensive."

"There's very little natural gold on the Moon, the metal core is small and has a low degree of differentiation, leading to a more dispersed distribution of precious metals. They can't obtain it by themselves."

"But by relying on the Earth's Light Imprint Skill industry, high-purity 6N gold can be obtained. So, the Bone Men, discovering their love for gold, persuaded them to travel together."

"Once this started, a large number of Moon People followed the Bone Men. Later, the Bone Men proposed family relationships, with the Moon People inside them becoming special family members of the Bone Men, and everyone living together long-term, helping and supporting each other."

"This led to a situation where Bone Men were even fought over by the Moon People as spouses because the company only had 30 Bone Men employees on the Moon."

Zhou Yi found it a bit hard to maintain composure while listening.

However, the Bone Men truly have an innate insight into needs, indeed born merchants and craftsmen.

The desires of the Moon People were also cracked by them.

"Later, we Bone Fish also learned from them and established families with the Moon People. To stabilize relationships and avoid disputes and conflicts, the Moon Affairs Department established a special Moon Marriage Registry, which registers each family formed by Bone Men, Bone Fish, and Moon People."

"Only registered partners are recognized as family members. If they want to divorce, they also need to go to the registry. This maintains relationship stability and also prevents criminal behavior."

The Ancient Overlord concluded: "Mainly because there was previously emotional conflict between Bone Men and Moon People."

"Relying on deceit by promising high-grade gold, one Bone Man maintained a relationship with seven Moon People. Ultimately, the scheme was exposed, and without giving the gold, that Bone Man was dismembered and buried underground on the Moon by several Moon People. Although the case was uncovered, it was unfortunate... Moon People, although loyal and pure, can be very terrifying when angry."

Zhou Yi stroked his chin.

Although marrying Moon People yields significant benefits, the consequences of betrayal are also dire.

It does make sense.

High risk, high reward after all.
