904 There’s money in the card, but I’m not worried
The starhold was a new starting point.
In the following version 3.0 and even version 4.0, this place would be an important place for players to play. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the base camp of the order and chaos factions.
Although there were records of super-large spacecrafts landing in starport, that was many years ago.
Most of the people in Stellaris had never seen a super-large aircraft with their own eyes, not to mention the Black Throne’s unbridled attitude and the terrifying spiritual energy it was emitting.
Even in the Super large aircraft, such a magic psionic energy and terrifying style were rare.
The appearance of the Black Throne immediately shocked the entire port, and everyone was amazed by the terrifying power of magical psionic power.
in stellaris, magic and technology existed side by side, and they were two very common knowledge systems. However, psionic energy was a violent mystical and biological energy that was classified as a high-risk subject due to its high difficulty and unstable nature. If one wanted to study psionic power, they had to submit an application and pass the examination of the research environment before they could start.
The scholars who were obsessed with spiritual energy often exploded and turned into ashes because of its uncertainties.
Therefore, when they saw the controlled spiritual energy of such a scale, the scholars in Stellaris, whether they were from the science or magic side, were all amazed by the wondrous rules and structure. It was so natural that there was no trace of deliberate intent.
However, by the time they realized what was going on, these scholars and forces could only look on helplessly.
Using the magical energy of dragon bones to construct and bind psionic energy was definitely a pioneering move. however, the dragon bones were as expensive as a palm’s worth. the smaller factions in the starport might be able to get one with all their might, but it was definitely an extremely extravagant thing to use the dragon bones to restrain unstable psionic energy.
The Black Throne only exited its state after entering the port. The Dragon bones retracted into the steel, and the spiritual energy was also retracted, turning into a huge mechanical block.
Under precise control and guidance, the more than 30 ports of the mechanical fortress were completely embedded in the port.
The port’s automatic passage was connected to the mechanical fortress, and with a burst of pressure relief sound, it was successfully connected.
After the inspection of the mechanical gate and the allocation of port positions, the Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate members who were guarding the dock were waiting anxiously.
The Black Throne had only transformed into a mechanical fortress in front of the port. The oppressive feeling that came from it made them feel suffocated, but at the same time, a strong sense of anticipation grew in their hearts.
It was impossible for eros to escape now that he had been captured by such a force.
as long as the other party was willing to hand eros over to them, the ransom would be worth it. Just the bounty on eros alone was worth tens of millions-it was definitely enough to make him bleed. Furthermore, this guy had offended too many people. If they captured eros, there would definitely be many factions willing to befriend them and expand their business cooperation and connections.
As it was his first time in Stellaris, link didn’t let the players show up. In a situation where he had not settled it, the appearance of chaos-type players could easily mess up the situation.
link sent out the members of the independent union to escort the monster thieves to the public area in front of the portal.
Xia and the federal Mining Committee members and their subordinates were all in the hands of the monster thieves, standing with eros.
The Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate’s representative entered the passageway and arrived at the public area. They immediately saw link and the umbrella Foundation’s executives.
Dear President of the umbrella Foundation, thank you for bringing my daughter (member) back safely. The Montenegro family’s patriarch and the mining Union’s representative said respectfully and bowed slightly to link.
Obviously, the other party had thought it over and over again and decided to go around eros and hand the ransom to link. This was definitely the safest way.
But link was just like eros, never following the rules.
Link had no intention of accepting the universe dollars offered by both sides.
the person who kidnapped Xia he is eros. You need to redeem him.
As soon as he said that, the Montenegro family leader and another member of the joint mining industry were all stunned. they didn’t think that link would actually do as they said and give the money to eros.
at this time, the Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate couldn’t help but wonder if link was in cahoots with eros.
The president of the umbrella Foundation, link, was about a class B. The officers behind him were Class B and C, but none of them had the power to match the Black Throne and the Super-large aircraft.
Of course, there might be some old monsters in the Golden Foundation.
Eros chuckled as he rubbed his hands together. Alright, alright. I’m an honest person. I’ll hand over the person and the money.
Without any hesitation, the two parties transferred the universe dollars to eros’s electronic account. In an instant, 16.5 million was transferred into his account.
“Alright, I’ve received the money. Let him go.” With a wave of eros’s hand, the monster thief Army handed over all the captives to the two factions.
After that, eros’s money didn’t even last a minute. 16 million was transferred into Link’s account.
looking at the balance of 18.9 million in his account, lin ke felt satisfied.
with this amount of money, he could directly buy a chimera cruiser.
as a monster second only to an aircraft carrier in space combat, the battlecruiser was a complete offensive ship. With abundant firepower and a variety of modes, it could deal with almost all kinds of difficulties common in the universe.
However, link didn’t plan to buy a cruiser with this money.
One was that the mechanical fortress ‘internal capacity was not enough. Even if it was expanded, it would not be able to fit in the cruisers unless it sold a few small and medium-sized ships.
Second, it was unnecessary.
Although space combat was powerful, as long as it wasn’t the kind of annihilation by the dark faction, other people would capture the defeated ones scattered in the universe after defeat. After all, the universal Convention was there.
link planned to use the money to buy some advanced knowledge.
The advanced knowledge from before was already a little insufficient. The strength of the officers of the independent union had grown to their limits, and only the advanced knowledge could break through the current shackles.
And this money had to be made for players.
now that the umbrella foundation and the starport were officially connected, contribution points could only be used as a supplementary currency in the future. the main currency would still be the universal universe dollar, so from now on, many mission rewards of the umbrella foundation would be changed to universe dollars.
Against the huge number of players, who knew how many missions these universe dollars could support.
This was the next step of the plan, to take root in Stellaris.
Link left this to penny.
If the previous scene was a small one for penny, then now in stars Harbor, where all the civilizations and intelligent creatures of the entire mowall star system cluster were gathered, the business volume here was in the trillions every day. This was the business stage that penny had dreamed of.
Of course, the foundation of the umbrella Foundation was still too weak, and the projects that could be pushed forward were still too few.
However, penny was already planning to make a breakthrough from the Inhumans ‘manpower and the monster security company.
In short, monster security company had made its appearance in Stellaris.
The company was divided into inhuman mercenary groups, monster rental, sale, and re-processing businesses.
of course, this was all a story for later.
Link received the money and naturally wouldn’t make things difficult for eros. He just smiled and said,” alright, you can go now. If you have nothing to do, come and chat ~”
A shiver ran down eros’s spine. Who the f * ck is coming?
He winked at the macaw and the Silver Hand behind him and sent a signal.
just as he was about to leave, the head of the Montenegro family and the representative of the joint mining industry came forward and said,””president lin, we are willing to offer 10 million universe dollars to buy eros. do you agree?”
Eros didn’t show any signs of shock at the sudden request from the two factions.
He’d already guessed that the other party would use this opportunity to buy link. After all, he was the common enemy of the small and medium-sized factions in the port and had committed too many sins. If they could bring him back, they would be able to leverage more than ten million.
Eros chuckled and said, ” “Ten million, are you looking down on yourself or me? Just my plan alone can get the future heir of your Montenegro family and the joint Mining Committee, is it only worth ten million? Even with the black market bounty price, it would be 15 million. Are you trying to bully the outsiders who don’t know the market price with this 10 million price?”
Eros’s words were meant to stir up conflict between link, the Montenegro family, and the mining conglomerate.
Even if they were to hand him over, they had to be worthy of their net worth. Who would they dismiss with ten million?
But this time, eros’s plan failed. The Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate didn’t even look at him. After all, he was like a fish at their mercy. He had no right to bargain at all. All decisions were in Link’s hands.
the Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate seemed to have expected eros to try to drive a wedge between them.
of course, 10 million is just the basic price, ” the family head added. while you and the umbrella Foundation are in the port, the Montenegro family and the joint mining industry will do their best to serve you. We will do our best to solve the problem for you and the umbrella Foundation. If there’s anything you can’t do or need to search for materials, you can go through our channels.”
Good fellow!
These two parties ‘wishful thinking was not small.
He had made a promise to the umbrella Foundation, but he had successfully roped in this sudden force to his side.
Whether it was the Montenegro family or the mining conglomerate, they were only small forces in Starlight Harbor. If he could successfully rope in the umbrella Foundation, his reputation would soar at least for a while. They would become a strong endorsement for them to become an intermediate force!
Link didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he turned to eros and asked, ” “They’ve already bid 10 million. Don’t you have anything to say?”
Link was implying that eros could also bid for him, and the highest bidder would win.
This move was also beyond the expectations of the Montenegro family and the United mine. They didn’t expect link to raise the price without any consideration for the power structure in the starport.
Even eros was dumbfounded. He immediately clapped his hands and cheered.”good fellow, good fellow! You actually want me to pay for myself. However, I’ll have to disappoint you. I don’t have that much money on hand. So, you should just agree to their request.”
The situation changed again. Eros didn’t bid for himself. He kept smiling, as if he didn’t care about his life at all.
Or perhaps he already had enough confidence and confidence to escape the other party’s imprisonment.
Link shrugged helplessly. He’d wanted to extort more money from these two, especially after eros started bidding. The two forces would then follow suit and raise the price. But he didn’t think that eros would see through his trick and not move at all. This was completely a case of harming others without benefiting himself!
However, link knew that eros would definitely have a way to escape the imprisonment of the two forces, which was why he was so calm. However, he was still a little dissatisfied with this guy’s refusal to cooperate with his plan.
Of course, the broad-minded link didn’t mind tricking eros a little on this matter.
I’m very curious. I wonder how you’ll imprison eros after you bring him back. I’ve heard that many forces in starport hate him to the core, but every time they try to surround him, he’ll escape.”
Link smiled at eros. The carefree expression on his face had disappeared and was replaced by a dark expression.
although he had only known link for two days, they were too similar. he already knew what link was thinking. link was obviously trying to set him up.
I have the equipment here to ensure that it can’t escape. It’s only 10 million. Would you two consider it? ”
The redeeming cost ten million, and the equipment cost ten million. In total, it was twenty million.
The head of the Montenegro family and the representative of the joint mining industry looked at each other and didn’t dare to make a decision.
The doubts in their hearts had not been resolved. They still suspected that the umbrella Foundation had an inextricable connection with eros.
If they bought his equipment and eros still escaped, they would lose 20 million dollars. For the two small forces, this was definitely a considerable expense. It could even be considered a heavy blow.
After much consideration, the two still rejected Link’s suggestion.
This time, they would definitely set up an inescapable net and not give eros a chance to escape.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, President Lin, but we already have a foolproof plan.”
since the other party had rejected this additional deal, link could only shrug his shoulders.
The two sides reached a deal for ten million, and the ” human rights ” of eros would be transferred to the Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate.
“I do need your help. It’s the umbrella Foundation’s first time in Stellaris port, so we need to understand the local customs and cultural knowledge. You can help me collect the advanced knowledge on the market. After deducting the cost, you can make a list and give it to my subordinate, Penny the Penguin.”
The Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate’s representative agreed on the spot, and the deal was considered complete.
as for eros ‘army of monster thieves, they were dismissed on the spot.
After all, in the eyes of the Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate, the monster thieves without eros were just a bunch of loose sand.
The Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate left with eros in satisfaction. They put on electronic shackles with sealing barriers on his hands and bound his mouth with instruments to prevent interference from his mouth.
After the Montenegro family and the mining conglomerate left, the mechanical fortress returned to its peaceful state.
He’d earned 26 million in total, so link wasn’t worried about the money in his card.
The money was enough for the players to spend for a while. The most important thing now was to build their own Foundation in starport, and then find a way to contact the Fandi system, build a large teleportation channel, and bring some players over.
Ever since they had entered the universe, the players ‘horizons had been broadened. It was obviously unrealistic to control all the players. Link was also clearly aware of this, so he only needed to capture a portion of the players and optimize the missions and rewards. At the same time, he would increase the cohesion of a portion of high-level players and shape them into star players. This would naturally form a publicity effect. Then, other players would also go after it.
Since he was going to settle down, the first thing he needed was a place to settle down.
Link thought about it carefully. There were a few ways to get the land.
The simplest way was to purchase land from the autonomous Committee of Stellaris port. However, every inch of land in the starport was extremely expensive. Especially after so many years of development. As more and more civilizations and forces entered the city, more and more people came here to find gold and work. although the outermost third mechanical star ring was equipped with advanced scientific management and design, the population density here was even higher than the slums of shandu. With the amount of money link had, he could probably only buy a territory similar to the size of the link gang in the slums.
The second way was to fight the dark. in the third mechanical star ring, most of the people were bottom-level workers, but these workers were also divided into different gangs and organizations according to their beliefs, races, and abilities. These organizations all had a lot of territories and industries. They all had the corresponding legal title deeds issued by the starport self-governing Committee. This kind of land deed was not signed, which meant that the land belonged to whoever could get it. Of course, link would probably not use this method.
It wasn’t easy for them to get out of shadu, but now they had to return to the stage of gangs fighting against each other. They had to fight for territory with those ordinary workers, which was really getting worse and worse.
The third way was to complete some special missions.
There were some special missions in starport, and the final reward was the title deed. some of them were official missions issued by the autonomous committee, while some were internal missions of the big and small families.
This time, link planned to attack from this angle.
of course, he didn’t plan to do it himself. instead, he was going to let the players complete these missions on his behalf.
after all, after planning the overall direction, penny said a famous saying that had some guidance-
We don’t produce tasks, we only do the porters.
The umbrella Foundation would act as the broker. Link and the foundation would establish good relations with the various forces in Stellaris. They would then obtain missions from them and put them up in the deviant Committee for the players to complete.
This was a win-win situation for both link and the players.
After all, if the players sent themselves to do missions without any credibility, these organizations would not believe them, let alone care about them.
On the other hand, with the umbrella Foundation’s reputation and reputation, link could easily establish a relationship with the small and medium-sized forces in Stellaris.
However, just as link was thinking about what to do next, a piece of news quickly spread throughout the second mechanical Star Ring. It also caused the umbrella Foundation to fall into a Whirlpool of public opinion.
