Chapter 236. Yasta Pollution Zone (Stellar Domain Race · Initial)

First Star Domain Abandoned Fortress

When Shen Xingtang arrived at the base after a night of meetings, the other mecha pilots had already been adapting to the equipment of the new base. Ying Chenlin was still in the maintenance room.

She didn't disturb them but waited until Ying Chenlin finished his work in the maintenance room before going there.

With more maintenance technicians in the maintenance room, Ying Chenlin had a lot of free time. He didn't have much work to do every day, and occasionally, young people, not used to the routine, gathered around experienced technicians to observe their maintenance techniques. Ying Chenlin didn't talk much but enjoyed discussing technical matters with others. He respected and learned from experienced maintenance technicians and was patient and willing to teach young apprentices. During this time, Shen Xingtang hadn't visited the maintenance room much, but she often heard praises for Ying Chenlin from other maintenance technicians.

After sitting in the lounge next to the maintenance room for a while, Ying Chenlin came over.

He hadn't changed his maintenance suit yet, only taking off the oil-stained gloves.

"Haven't rested yet?" Shen Xingtang asked.

Ying Chenlin replied, "Had a bit of a problem, just solved it."

Shen Xingtang's gaze swept over Ying Chenlin for a while before handing a contract to him. "Did you forget that your work contract is renewed annually? I didn't bother you these days while you were busy, but you need to sign this new contract."

"All weapon copyrights designed by you at KID are here. I've organized the technical intellectual property into this contract. After signing, you will receive corresponding income for future technical expenditures. This contract also includes the operation profit-sharing of KID's online store, technical dividends, and the basic salary I pay you for being employed by me. Everything is outlined clearly in the new contract. YOU should take a close look."

After Ying Chenlin took the contract and browsed through it, he paused when he saw the basic salary. "I'm getting this much. Can we afford to operate?"

"The little kid is thinking about business. Take the money you deserve. If you don't care about money, I'll care for you," Shen Xingtang pushed the contract toward him. "Take the money that's rightfully yours. Don't worry; I'll worry for you."

After signing the contract, Shen Xingtang sent Ying Chenlin to rest and returned to the office alone.

Jiang Simiao saw her coming back. "Did Ying Chenlin sign?"

"He would have to sign even if he didn't want to." Shen Xingtang put away the contract. "That kid, Ying Chenlin, treats KID like his own home. How can I, as a guardian, let the kid suffer losses? I didn't think much when designing those weapons. After hearing what Old Gu said, I found out that there are two crystals left by his father in those psychic crystals. He didn't intend to use them himself."

Jiang Simiao knew what Shen Xingtang was considering. KID's current development was inseparable from the efforts of the mecha pilots.

After returning from the Star Alliance mission, Shen Xingtang adjusted the contracts for all mecha pilots, and she even incorporated some of the online store's bonuses into the mecha pilots' shares. She also planned storage plans for the mecha pilots.

"Having been together for two years, I've long seen Ying Chenlin as a younger brother."

Shen Xingtang sighed. "That kid has handed everything over to me. I can't let him down."

"So these days, you've been attending meetings and going to the market, bringing back a lot of S-class fire elemental materials?" Jiang Simiao glanced at the list on Shen Xingtang's desk. Some of the materials were not even available in the Dawn Star System, and she had spent a considerable amount to acquire them externally.
