The Legendary Mechanic

In a secret conference room at a BDM base, more than a dozen organizations' high-rise remote projections are connected online, of various species, with black blindfolds covering the right eye like a pirate's beard of cosmos humans, an Andorran bee with three pairs of yellow crystalline eyes on his dry face, and a void hunter with blue and purple streamlined crusts all over his body.

None of the characters in this room have been generalized. In the past, there have been bad deeds in different regions. Most of them carry high rewards from different civilizations. The fighting power in the natural disaster class is not unusual. Today, they are employed in the Blood Gold Organization, which manages different teams, rarely go out in person, and are basically in a semi-detached state.

“As we have all learned recently, the Red Empire and the Black Star Corps have imposed sanctions on us, resulting in the assassination and death of senior members of the Maro, Van Cessna and Inder groups. ”

The leader of the Blood Gold Organization stacked his hands on the tip of his nose with a classic posture, a soulless eye and a heavy tone.

The current leader of Blood Gold is a male human creature, a shining federation, a genetically commissioned elite, with a fierce appearance and growing age.

Unlike at the top of the table, he has a clean bottom, not a wanted man, but a group of elites cultivated by the last leader of the Blood Gold Organization since childhood, who has taken over the leadership of the organization for more than three decades now, after the old man's lifetime had fallen to sleep.

Blood Gold itself is quite old, and the current head of the organization is the twelfth generation leader.

The intergalactic black market has existed longer than some galactic or even cluster-level civilizations. Managers changed hands and again. Blood Gold only passed the assessment of other administrators more than 200 years ago and obtained the seat of stellar black market administrator.

“Poor Marlowe, I still owe him $72,305.50. Inar didn't pay it back. He's such a good man, he even died so promptly.” An octopus-like high-rise rubbed his eyes with a tentacle and squeezed out a little tear.

“Now is not the time to joke, the Red Empire killed the top of our organization, which shows how it is deterring us, punishing us for robbing the goods of our imperial allies, trying to get us out of the way, no longer fighting the idea of evolutionist totem… the question is how the top news leaks. ”

The dark Andorran bees have a fine voice and speak slowly.

"A while ago, Colansta's team encountered Black Star's mechanical forces, and it should have been Black Star himself who locked up the higher-level movement… Usually we were the only ones to deter others, but this time it was targeted by higher levels of force. The Red Empire and Black Star Regiment were not easy to mess with, and we needed to think about countermeasures. ”

“Humph, the Black Star Legion is far from breaking the rings, so far away, so limited a threat to us, and the Black Star Legion is also a little more powerful in breaking the rings, there is no power in other stars, far less than us, only the Black Star itself is not good to deal with… For now, ignore them, the Red Empire is the focus of our attention.” The pirate-like beard opens its mouth and speaks loudly.

“That's what I thought.” Bloody Golden Leader nodded.

In their eyes, the Black Star Corps itself has nothing to be afraid of. In contrast to the strict attitude of the Red Empire, the Black Star alone is the root cause of the strict treatment of the Red Empire.

“Glory and Spirit have come to us, and if we continue to seize evolutionary totems, we will be further fought back by the Red Empire, and if we stop, glory and spirits will abandon us.” Blood Gold leader slows down.

“I opposed the issue of interfering in the evolutionary totem when it came to the struggle of the three civilizations. We were just a piece of chess. Once caught up in the wind, we had no choice but to keep a low profile.” A high-ranking man could not help complaining.

“Tsk, shine and spirits come to us, you think they'll give us room to refuse, hug their thighs, at least further hope, reject their olive branches, we'll lose everything we have now, Star Black Market Manager? Don't even think about it, we will slowly shrink into a non-existent black market mercenary organization, one day it will be wiped out... when they come to the door, we will no longer be able to get out of the way. ”

Bloody Golden Leader has a cold tone.

The Star Black Market is a huge coalition of interests, and each manager is a dominant player in different grey industries, so it requires a lot of mountain and shelter. Among black market managers, the biggest voice is actually the organization of the brokerage industry, through various means to persuade different civilizations, provide shelter for other managers to build bridges, and the relationship is deeply misaligned.

It is not a family matter if the bloody organization is dissatisfied with glory and spirituality, and if the business of other black market managers is hit, they will not necessarily unite to kick the bloody organization out of its high-level seat and no longer provide shelter and support.

Now that he has chosen you, you are a grey organization not protected by the laws of the stars, and you want to remain neutral...

It's not such a good thing!

“Cosmic civilization is truly the same domination as ever, and this is the sadness of the gray forces that have no refuge in order. ”

Vacant hunters can't help but sigh at the top of the hierarchy. People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.

“What then, Glory and the Spirit will never see us all stabbed?” Big beard chunky.

At this point, two more remote projections appeared in the room in glorious and phantom uniforms.

“I have spoken to the glorious and the spiritual about this.” Leader Blood Gold stood up, "Introducing these two messengers of glory and spirituality, he...”

Before the end of the conversation, the Messenger of the Glorious Union waved and said:

“The name does not need to be introduced. Let's talk about things directly. The Glorious Federation already knows the price you paid and expresses its deep sympathy. Therefore, we and the Spiritual Church will provide refuge to the top of the Blood Gold Organization, secretly receiving you to the Star Abyss and the Bright Silver Spiral Arm. In our territory, the Red Empire and the Black Star Regiment will not be able to move you. You can remotely control the organization, continue to accumulate evolutionary totems, and we will also provide you with some resource support. ”

The wand belongs to a crevice between glory and spirituality, but it does not prevent them from pinching their noses and cooperating on evolutionary totems. After all, evolutionary totem involves the genetic improvement of the entire civilization's billion-dollar people. It is too strategic, has interests, and has no eternal enemies… However, it is certain that the two sides do not look at each other well.

It is said that Blood Gold is relieved at the top of the table to ensure personal safety, so that you can be assured of being a chess player.

“With all due respect, I have a question. ”

At this point, the Andorran highlevel suddenly said:

“Robbing the evolutionary totem purchased by other civilizations is an extremely inefficient way to do so, much more likely to encounter the Black Star escort as last time, and it will not always be possible to keep us robbed. ”

The Glorious Federal Messenger nodded with a smile, "You're right, it's not a long-term plan. Plunder alone is not enough to meet a massive demand. Do you have any ideas? ”

“With the spread of the Divine Heritage, evolutionary totem manufacturing methods are no longer a secret, and obviously the most fundamental solution is to steal the Evolutionary Block as a source of energy from Black Star!” Cold light flashed in the eyes of this high level of the bloody tissue.

“You're right… unfortunately, this doesn't work for the time being. ”

The spiritual messenger interjected coldly:

“Because of the existence of evolutionary totems, the strategic significance of evolutionary blocks has greatly increased. According to the importance that the Empire attaches to totems, if we rob evolutionary blocks, there will be no room for moderation, like the Battle of the Beacon Star. Once successful, it is officially war… Less than the last moment, our three civilizations will not fight each other to the benefit of others.

And... you think black stars are good for this? Easy! If we hadn't known in advance that evolutionary totem existed, why do you think we'd have to start the Battle of the Beacon at the risk of offending the Empire? Last time we tried it, there are still a few super A's sealed in space-time amber, why don't you try Black Star too?! ”

“No, I can't.” The top man had nothing to say, coughed dry and swayed hands.

I'm just kidding. I can't stand a black star like that.

The emissary of the Glorious Federation nodded: “He's right, at least not at this stage, we have no intention of risking seizing the Evolutionary Block, which is the last option, and now there is another way… to allow the Empire to voluntarily open up Totem's right to sell. ”

“Is this... really possible?” Leader Bloody Gold is beyond doubt.

“Hmm, now that this is the case, Black Star himself doesn't really care about selling evolutionary totems publicly, but because of imperial regulation, he won't risk offending allies selling them privately, and it's impossible to proactively let others catch the grip, so it's not the Black Star Legion, it's the Red Empire.

Only the compromise of the Red Empire will give us a chance to gain a massive evolutionary totem.

And there are only a few ways to give way to the Red Empire: deterrence by force, exchange of interests, joint pressure… As you know, deterrence by force is a dream, and exchange of interests, we will inevitably bleed greatly, without giving core technology and resources, the Empire will not be able to promise and will not lose.

So what we chose was joint pressure, economic, trade, political, security, etc., on the empire, and you, the bloodstream, are just one part of that plan.

The Red Empire invests a lot of resources and energy in developing a sparkling world and becomes weak at other levels. This is the best time to maximize the effects of pressure, while also taking into account the goal of striking the Empire… step by step, allowing the Empire to make a trade-off! ”

One of the executives shook up, “Is it really okay to tell us this kind of secret...”

“Oh, there's nothing to keep a secret. It's a masterpiece. When the Empire chooses not to disclose the evolutionary totem, they know there will be a day, and you're our partners now, and it's okay to tell you.” The emissary of the Glorious Union did not take it personally.

Blood Gold frowned, "What if the pressure doesn't work? ”

The emissary of the Glorious Federation glanced at him and smiled coldly.

“If the empire survives, we can only consider starting from the source. ”

……

Starling Sea, Infinite Consortium Headquarters, Private Lounge of the Head of Consortium.

Sitting at four shadowy tables with four cups on the table, a light green vegetable beverage that is refreshing to the brain, it is warm and fragrant.

“I have heard of the assassinations of the Blood Gold Organization in the run-up to the high level, and you glorious federations and spiritual denominations who put their lives to work will never ignore it. ”

Solokin held the cup with his hands, took a sip, looked up at the other three people on the table, all of them stamped feet to make all the major forces tremble super A-level.

One is "Mechanistic Nation” Manison, who came to the meeting with a mechanical shell, the other is the spiritual cult's super A-ranked ally, "Empty Lord” Kessuye, and the other is "Beast Joe” Golutan, one of the star black market's backstage protectors.

And these three have the same identity… they are all shareholders of the Infinite Consortium!

“I'm not in charge of that little thing.” There was no fluctuation in Manison's tone.

Golutan was huge, raised the cup with his hairy fingers, and poured the beverage into his mouth as he raised his head, "I just received a message that Blood Gold had come into contact with the emissary of the glorious spirit and reached a consensus. ”

With such a huge interstellar black market, there is naturally a super A-level support scene, and some black market managers themselves are super A-level forces. The Interstellar Black Market is a coalition of interests of the orderly evil camp, not belonging to anyone, with multiple super-A shelters behind it, of which Golutan is one, of the same nature as the shareholders of the Infinite Consortium.

Rumor has it, Solo Jin squinted.

“If I understand correctly, because the evolutionary totem, the forces behind the three represented, intends to work together? ”

“You could say that.” The voice of Khusuyyah has a strange feeling of emptiness, "we also came to you for this, and you can think of us as messengers. ”

Sorokins played with the cup and blurted: “To be honest, I don't really want to get involved in this. ”

“You're not interested in evolutionary totems?” Golutan sounds like a thunderbolt.

“No, I don't think any force in the universe would be interested in evolutionary totems.” Solo Golden Face has no expression, "but, according to my knowledge of the Black Star Legion, the result is that the risk outweighs the gain, and I don't like to trade at a loss. ”

Minnesota nodded, “I understand that you not only have business cooperation with the Glorious Spirit, but also have business dealings with the Empire. You don't want to offend either party. Unlike your unlimited consortium and gray forces, you are a legitimate business organization protected by law and have the capital to remain neutral. ”

“That's right, that's it.” Sorokin stalled.

“Ha ha, don't worry, we won't let you do too much.” Manison's mechanical body laughed, but the electronics didn't hear any laughter.

“Well, what can I do to help? ”

“We want an infinite consortium to come out, invest in broken rings, squeeze the market and position of the Black Star Legion with legitimate commercial competition, and use the financial power of the infinite consortium, which is just a small thing. You can't do anything about evolutionists, nor can the Empire interfere with your normal business behavior. ”

Sorokin frowned, “Why would I do that? ”

“This is part of the pressure on the Red Empire, and the opinions of the Black Star Corps have somewhat influenced the Empire's disposition towards evolutionary totems, and such a large operation makes it clear to Black Star that he cannot eat alone… Of course, besides these business reasons, he and I have a slight conflict of interest.” Minnesota faint.

Sorokin smiled softly, "There was a conflict between His Excellency and Black Star, not to tell you that me and Black Star... heh, there was also some personal grudge. ”

“So you said yes? ”

“The opinions of the three shareholders certainly need to be taken into account, but… the Black Star Corps business is not so easy to grab. ”

Solo's golden face is straight. Seriously:

“I have done research on the Black Star Legion, which has grown rapidly and involved dozens of industries, while the core business is four blocks, namely, armed hiring, resource planetary exploitation brought about by local civilization cooperation, sparkling world development, and evolutionary totem trafficking… With all due respect, the last three are uninterrupted specialty businesses, their core business is hard to hit, and our infinite consortium can only start elsewhere.

Fortunately, the Black Star Legion could not be established for more than 20 years, and its foundations could not be stabilized anywhere, but it still required high costs...

So in the end, what good is it that I'm doing this? ”

Rumor has it, Minnesota moved her fingers, a virtual screen appeared on the table, and there was a long list, and Slow Slow Rational:

“Resource support, political capital, deeper cooperation projects, more open industries… all on top of that, you need to take the risk that the Red Empire will reduce its cooperation projects with you, and now in the Star Age, the Empire will not be able to completely terminate all normal commercial cooperation with you, what you can get, but the two cosmic civilizations will have deeper commercial ties with you…

You believe in revenue and risk, believe you can make the right trade-offs, you can give us a month to think about it and then give us a response. ”

“It won't take long, and I can tell you the answer now. ”

Sorokin laughed.

“Sounds like a good business. ”

Looks like a bug to me. I just got it out a little while back.
