The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

In the secret conference room of a certain base of the blood gold organization, remote projections of more than a dozen high-level organizations were launched one after another. They were of different species. There was a black eye mask covering the right eye. A bearded cosmic human who looked like a pirate, with a dark complexion and a shriveled face. An Andor bee-human with three pairs of citrine-like pupils, and a Void Hunter with a blue-purple streamlined carapace.

None of the people here are ordinary people. They used to have their own bad deeds in different regions, and most of them were burdened with high rewards from different civilizations. Controlling different teams, he seldom goes out in person, and is basically in a semi-retired state.

"Everyone knows what happened to us recently. The Scarlet Empire and the Black Star Legion have imposed sanctions on us. Three senior leaders of the organization, Maro, Vercesna, and Indir, were assassinated to death."

The leader of the blood gold organization folded his hands and propped his nose, his posture was classic, his eyes were ecstasy, and his tone was very solemn.

The current blood gold leader is a male humanoid creature, a member of the Radiance Federation, an elite race that has been genetically adjusted, with a strong appearance, and is in his prime.

Unlike the high-level people here, his background is quite clean. He is not a wanted criminal, but a group of elites trained by the previous leader of the blood gold organization. After the old man passed away, he took over as the leader of the organization. years.

The blood gold organization itself is quite old, and the current leader of the organization is the twelfth generation leader.

The interstellar black market has existed for longer than some galaxy-level or even star-cluster-level civilizations. The managers have changed one crop after another. The blood gold organization passed the assessment of other managers more than two hundred years ago and obtained the manager of the interstellar black market. seats.

"Poor Maro, I still owe him 7,230,500 Enal. He is such a good man, he even died so timely." A high-ranking officer who looked like an octopus He rubbed his eyes with his tentacles and squeezed out a little tear.

"Now is not the time to make jokes. The Scarlet Empire killed our high-level organization. This is clearly deterring us and punishing us for robbing the goods of the empire's allies. It wants us to retreat and stop playing the idea of ​​the evolutionary totem... ...The question is how did the high-level information leak out."

The pitch-black Andor beemen had a high-pitched voice and spoke slowly.

The blood gold leader said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, Kronstadt's team encountered Black Star's mechanical troops. It should be Black Star who personally took action to lock the whereabouts of the high-level...Usually we are the only ones who deter others, but this time we are the ones who are higher. The power of the level is eyeing, the Scarlet Empire and the Black Star Legion are not easy to mess with, we need to consider countermeasures."

"Hmph, the Black Star Legion is far away in the Shattered Starlink. The distance is so far away, so the threat to us is limited. Besides, the Black Star Legion is a bit stronger in the Broken Starlink. It has no power in other star fields. Its scale is far inferior to ours. Only Black Star I'm not easy to deal with...don't worry about them for now, the Scarlet Empire is what we need to pay attention to." The bearded man like a pirate spoke in a rough tone.

"I think so too." The blood gold leader nodded.

The blood-gold organization's business covers three star fields, and its scale of influence is larger than that of the Black Star Legion. In their eyes, the Black Star Legion itself has nothing to be afraid of. The only person who needs to be afraid of is Black Star. The strict attitude of the empire is the fundamental reason why the blood gold organization is ready to fight.

"Glory and Void Spirit came to us. If we continue to snatch the evolutionary totem, we will be further counterattacked by the Scarlet Empire. If we stop, Radiance and Void Spirit will abandon us." The blood gold leader said slowly.

"I was opposed to meddling in the issue of the evolutionary totem at the beginning. It involves the struggle of the three major civilizations. We are just a pawn. Once we get involved in a storm, we can't help ourselves. It's better to operate in a low-key manner." A senior executive couldn't help complaining.

"Tsk, when Guanghui and Void Spirit came to us, do you think they would give us room to refuse? Hug their thighs, at least there is further hope. If we refuse their olive branch, we will lose everything we have now, interstellar Black market managers? Don’t even think about it, we will slowly shrink into a low-level black market mercenary organization, and one day we will be wiped out... When they come to the door, we will no longer be able to stay out of it."

The blood gold leader's tone was cold.

The interstellar black market is a huge coalition of interests, and each manager is the overlord of a different gray industry, so they need a lot of backing and protection. Among the managers of the black market, the ones with the greatest voice are actually the organizations of the brokerage industry, who use various means to persuade different civilizations and provide shelter for other managers to matchmaking, and the relationship is intricate.

If the blood gold organization incurs the dissatisfaction of Guanghui and Void Spirit, the follow-up impact is not a matter of one family. If the business of other black market managers is impacted, they may not unite to kick the blood gold organization out of high-level seats and no longer provide shelter with support.

Since they chose you, you are a gray organization that is not protected by interstellar laws, and you still want to avoid muddy waters and stay neutral...

How can there be such a good thing!

"The universe-level civilization is as domineering as ever. This is the tragedy of the gray forces without the protection of order."

The Void Hunter executives couldn't help sighing that people can't help themselves in the Jianghu.

"Then what should we do, Guanghui and Void Spirit won't let us all be assassinated?" the bearded man said roughly.

Just then, two more remote projections appeared in the room, wearing the uniforms of Radiance and Void.

"About this matter, I have already talked with the people from Radiance and Void Spirit." The blood gold leader stood up, "Let me introduce, these two are the messengers of Radiance and Void Spirit, he..."

Before he finished speaking, the envoy of Radiance Federation waved his hand and said:

"There is no need to introduce the name. Let's talk about things directly. The Radiance Federation already knows the price you paid and expresses deep sympathy. Therefore, we and the Ethereal Religion will provide shelter for the high-level members of the Blood Gold Organization and secretly take everyone to the Stars. Yuan and Bright Silver Spiral Arm, in our territory, Scarlet Empire and Black Star Legion can't move you, you can control the organization remotely, continue to hoard evolutionary totems, and at the same time, we will also provide you with certain resource support."

The ownership of the scepter of the gods is a rift between Radiance and Void Spirit, but it does not prevent them from cooperating on the issue of the evolutionary totem. After all, the Evolutionary Totem involves the genetic improvement of billions of citizens of the entire civilization. Its strategic significance is too great, where the interests lie, and there is no eternal enemy... However, it is certain that the two sides do not like each other.

Hearing this, all the top executives of the Blood Gold Organization breathed a sigh of relief. Only if their personal safety is guaranteed can they be used as pawns with peace of mind.

"With all due respect, I have a question."

At this moment, the senior officials of the Andor bee-human race suddenly said:

"Snatching the evolutionary totems purchased by other civilizations is an extremely inefficient method. If you snatch a lot, you will probably encounter the Black Star's guards like last time. They can't always let us snatch it. "

The Radiance Federation envoy nodded with a smile, "You are right. This is not a long-term solution. Looting alone cannot meet large-scale demand. Do you have any ideas?"

"With the spread of Ability God's legacy, the manufacturing method of the evolutionary totem is no longer a secret. Obviously, the most fundamental solution is to snatch the evolution cube as the energy source from Black Star!" said the senior executive of the blood gold organization A cold light flashed in his eyes.

"You're right...Unfortunately, this method won't work for the time being."

The messenger of Ethereal Religion interrupted coldly:

"Because of the existence of the Evolutionary Totem, the strategic significance of the Evolution Cube has greatly increased. According to the empire's emphasis on the totem, if we snatch the Evolution Cube, there will be no room for relaxation like the Battle of the Lighthouse Star. Once successful, it will be a formal The war has begun... Until the last moment, our three major civilizations will not go to war with each other to benefit others.

And... you think Black Star is easy to deal with? Putting it lightly! If we didn't know the existence of the Evolutionary Totem in advance, why do you think we should act first and risk offending the empire to provoke the Battle of the Lighthouse Star? We tried it last time, and there are still a few Transcendent A Grades sealed in time-space amber, why don't you go to Black Star and try? ! "

"No, no, no." The high-level executive had nothing to say, coughed dryly, and waved his hands again and again.

Just kidding, a big guy like Black Star, how can I stand up to a mediocre natural disaster grade.

The Radiance Federation envoy nodded and said: "He is right. At least at this stage, we have no intention of taking the risk of snatching the evolution cube. This is the last choice. Now there is another way... that is to let the empire open the totem on its own initiative. Right to sell."

"Is this... really possible?" The blood gold leader couldn't help but wonder.

"Hmph, the current situation is like this. Black Star himself doesn't really care about selling the evolutionary totem publicly, but due to the supervision of the empire, he will not risk offending his allies to sell it privately. It is impossible for others to take the initiative to catch him. It's not the Black Star Legion, but the Scarlet Empire.

Only when the Scarlet Empire compromises, will we have the opportunity to obtain the evolutionary totem on a large scale.

And to make the Scarlet Empire retreat, there are only a few methods, force deterrence, interest exchange, joint pressure... You are also very clear about the style of the empire, force deterrence is a dream, and interest exchange, we will inevitably bleed, and we will not give the core It is impossible for the empire to agree to the technology and resources, and the gains outweigh the losses.

So the plan we chose is joint pressure to put pressure on the empire from the aspects of economy, trade, politics, public security, etc. Your blood gold organization is only one part of this plan.

The Scarlet Empire has invested a lot of resources and energy in order to develop Glittering World, and it will become weak at other levels. This is the best time to maximize the effect of pressure, while also taking into account the goal of striking the empire... step by step Press hard and let the empire make a choice! "

A high-level person trembled, "Tell us this kind of secret, is it really okay..."

"Heh, there is nothing to keep secret. This is a public conspiracy. When the empire chose not to disclose the totem of the evolutionary, they knew that this day would come, and you are our partners now, so it's okay to tell you." Radiance Federation The messenger didn't take it seriously.

The blood gold leader frowned, "What if the pressure doesn't work?"

The Radiance Federation envoy glanced at him and smiled coldly.

"If the empire does not compromise, then we can only consider starting from the source."

...

The Sea of ​​Protoss, the headquarters of the Infinite Consortium, the private reception room of the head of the consortium.

Four figures sat around the table, and there were four cups on the table, which contained a refreshing light green plant drink, which was steaming and fragrant.

"I heard that the top executives of the Blood Gold Organization were assassinated some time ago. You Radiance Federation and Ethereal Religion let them work hard, so you won't ignore it."

Sorokin held the cup in both hands, took a sip, and raised his eyes to look at the other three people on the table. All of them were super A-level big shots who could make all the major forces shake by stomping their feet.

One is "Tool Nation" Manison who attended the meeting with a mechanical body, the other is the avatar of "Void Lord" Kesuye, the peak super A-level ally of Ethereal Sect, and the other is one of the patrons behind the interstellar black market " Beast Ancestor" Gorutan.

And these three people have the same identity... They are all shareholders of the Infinite Consortium!

"That kind of trivial matter is out of my control." Manison's tone did not fluctuate.

Gorutan was huge, picked up the cup with his hairy fingers, raised his head and poured the drink into his mouth, and smacked his lips, "I just received the news that the blood gold organization has been in contact with the emissary of Radiant Ethereal, There was a consensus."

With such a huge scale in the interstellar black market, there are naturally super-A-level support scenes, and some black market managers are themselves super-A-level forces. The interstellar black market is a combination of interests of lawful and evil camps. It does not belong to any one person. There are multiple Transcendent A Grade asylums behind it. Gorutan is one of them, and its nature is the same as that of the shareholders of the infinite consortium.

Hearing this, Sorokin narrowed his eyes.

"If I understand correctly, because the evolutionary totem, the forces behind the three representatives, plan to work together?"

"It can be said that." Kesuye's voice had an ethereal and strange feeling, "We also came to you for this matter, and you can regard us as emissaries."

Sorokin played with the cup and said lightly: "To be honest, I don't really want to get involved in this matter."

"Are you not interested in the evolutionary totem?" Gorutan's voice was like thunder.

"No, I don't think there is any force in the universe that is not interested in the evolutionary totem." Sorokin was expressionless, "However, according to my understanding of the Black Star Legion, the result of hastily intervening is that the risk outweighs the benefit. I like to trade at a loss."

Manison nodded, "I understand that you not only have business cooperation with Radiant Ethereal, but also with the Empire. You don't want to offend any party. Your infinite consortium is different from the gray forces. You are a legal business protected by law. organization, has the capital to remain neutral.”

"That's right, that's it." Sorokin spread his hands.

"Haha, don't worry, we won't let you do excessive things." Manison's mechanical body laughed, but the electronic voice couldn't hear any smile.

"Oh? Then I don't know how I can help?"

"We hope that the Infinite Consortium will come forward to invest in the Shattered Starlink, and squeeze the market and status of the Black Star Legion with legitimate business competition. With the financial power of the Infinite Consortium, this is just a trivial matter. If you don't attack the Evolutionary Totem, neither can the Empire." interfere with your normal business conduct."

Sorokin frowned, "Why should I do this?"

"This is a part of putting pressure on the Scarlet Empire. The opinion of the Black Star Legion will affect the empire's attitude towards the evolutionary totem to a certain extent. Moreover, for such a large business, Black Star must know that he cannot handle it alone... Of course, apart from these official reasons, I also have a little conflict of interest with him." Manison said lightly.

Sorokin smiled lightly, "It turns out that Your Excellency Tool Nation has a conflict with Black Star. To tell you the truth, Black Star and I... Hehe, there are also some personal grievances."

"Then you agreed?"

"Of course the opinions of the three shareholders need to be taken seriously, but...the business of the Black Star Legion is not so easy to grab."

Sorokin's face straightened, and he said seriously:

"I have done research on the Black Star Legion. They are developing rapidly and have been involved in dozens of industries. Their core business is divided into four parts, namely armed employment, resource planet mining brought about by cooperation between local civilizations, and development and evolution of Glittering World. Or totem sales... With all due respect, the latter three are special businesses that are difficult for outsiders to intervene in. Their core business is difficult to be attacked. Our Infinite Consortium can only start from other places.

Fortunately, the Black Star Legion has only been established for more than 20 years, and no matter how stable its foundation is, it will not go anywhere. However, this still requires a high cost...

So at the end of the day, what good am I doing? "

Hearing this, Manison moved his fingers, and a virtual screen appeared on the table. There was a long list on the screen, and he said slowly:

"Resource support, political capital, more in-depth cooperation projects, more open industries...the details are all above. The risk you need to take is that the Scarlet Empire will reduce the cooperation projects with you at most, and now is the interstellar era, the empire It is impossible to completely terminate all normal business cooperation with you. What you can get is a deeper business relationship between two universe-level civilizations and you...

You believe in benefits and risks, and believe that you can make the right choice. I can give you a month to think about it, and then give us an answer. "

"It won't take that long, I can tell you the answer now."

Sorokin laughed.

"Sounds like a good business."
