890 Chapter 890-platform of candles (guaranteed + additional chapters 31/180)

“Ah? They were chased by the umbrella Foundation and abandoned their ships, but now they want to join. Isn’t this like sending sheep into the Tiger’s mouth?” Sarah’s clansmen could not help but exclaim, unable to understand the octopus’s thoughts.

It was rumored that the octopus people were one of the few intelligent races in the universe. Their multi-brain distribution structure ensured that their thinking and reactions were different from other races. in the tuss system, the octopus people also played important roles as strategists or advisors in various forces.

However, it was extremely strange for the eight-clawed octopus to do such an abnormal action.

“I think he might be uncle’s colleague,” Sarah said with a smile. The umbrella Foundation’s way of doing things had always been bold and unconstrained, and they often made unexpected moves. It was impossible for the eight-clawed octopus to return to the Roth Financial Group now that it had abandoned its ship.i won’t be able to stay at the big dock forever. the only way to break out of this is to join the umbrella foundation.”

“If he succeeds, then things will get interesting. The forces and members in the long dock will definitely follow suit.”

Sarah had signed an Alliance agreement with the umbrella Foundation, which gave her the opportunity to work closely with Saint Sula, and she was even treated as an honored guest.

Who could refuse to join a higher civilization and miss the opportunity to become a dragon?

The news of the eight-clawed octopus appearing alone at the port’s mechanical fortress’s connecting door spread like wildfire.

Although the big dock had temporarily set up regulations, and the port area was the most important area, many merchants and passersby who were hiding outside the port still saw this scene.

the news quickly spread throughout the entire long distance docks. many people guessed the octopus’s purpose and were concerned about whether this crazy idea would come true. If the umbrella Foundation could even take in the octopuses, then they would give it a try!

Not long after, the old Butler, Alfred, walked out of the passage and led the eight-clawed octopus into the mechanical fortress.

The eight-clawed octopus felt uneasy.

He knew nothing about the umbrella Foundation. The only thing he knew was that the last time the Black Throne appeared, it destroyed almost the entire fleet with overwhelming force. Its peerless beauty and terrifying deterrence floated around the tuz star system. it had become a shadow that shrouded all the forces.

However, this old man who looked like a butler in front of him also contained a particularly terrifying power.

The eight-clawed octopus could feel the aura of the dead from his body, but the most frightening thing was that there was a layer of active life force surrounding the aura of the dead. These two completely different and even nemesis energies were harmoniously concentrated in one body. It was enough to show the strength of the umbrella Foundation. Even a Butler had such unfathomable strength.

The eight-clawed octopus walked into the mechanical fortress in awe.

The interior of the mechanical fortress was Grand, but its exterior looked ordinary, no different from a destroyer.

However, the eight-clawed octopus would not underestimate the umbrella Foundation because of this.

Back on the Lost Planet, the horror of the Black Throne was still fresh in his mind. He would never forget that intense sense of oppression and despair.

Powerful yet low-key-that was the impression the eight-clawed octopus had of the umbrella Foundation.

When they passed the rest area, the eight-clawed octopus saw an endless stream of people coming and going.

The various unique buildings and forces in the rest area all made his eyes light up.

Just the number of forces that appeared in front of him had already surpassed the Roth Financial Group. Link’s ability to unite so many forces and let them live in harmony was evident.

This also gave the eight-clawed octopus hope of joining the umbrella Foundation. Since there were so many forces, it should be fine to have one more, right?

Alfred brought the octopus to the door of Link’s Lounge and said, ” “the president is inside.”

The mechanical door released the pressure and made a buzzing sound.

The octopus walked into the lounge nervously and immediately saw link sitting on the sofa listening to music.

Although his back was facing her, his mountain-like temperament gave people a sense of loftiness and unmovable.

“I heard you were looking for me?” Link didn’t turn around, but his voice was already there.

the eight-clawed octopus hunched over and quickly walked up to link. in a humble tone, it said,”Dear President, I’ve already drawn a clear line with the Roth Financial Group and I’ve come with my men to surrender. i hope that with my meager strength, i can make some contributions to the umbrella foundation,”

Link raised an eyebrow. He didn’t expect the octopus to come here to surrender.

The octopus’s attitude was very firm. After saying those words, Link’s system showed that its loyalty had reached 65 points. It was obvious that it was not just saying that.

But link didn’t agree easily. Instead, he asked, you said you want to join the umbrella Foundation, but I want to know what you can bring to the foundation if you join.

The umbrella Foundation’s status was extraordinary. It had a large number of talents and had the form of the Black Throne. It was famous in the tuz system.

This wasn’t a gang, so they didn’t need to win by numbers.

If one did not have any special skills or characteristics, how would they be qualified to join the umbrella Foundation?

In other words, the umbrella Foundation did not accept trash!

The eight-clawed octopus had already thought of this before he came.

The so-called function was the core competitiveness, which was different from other forces.

“we’re mainly responsible for engineering development and smuggling in the roth financial group, and we have a complex and abundant sales channel in the tuz system,” the octopus said after thinking for a moment.

Seeing that Link’s expression didn’t change, the eight-clawed octopus panicked and quickly added, in addition to these, I also have a personal sales route in starport. Although this sales route usually transports some things from the xroth Financial Group, it’s essentially my personal relationship channel. Although I don’t know your itinerary, I think starport is the core business area of the mowall star cluster, so it’s good to stop and rest. If you and your men have any purchasing needs, I can guarantee that this relationship channel is definitely the lowest in the entire starport.”

This was the trump card of the eight-clawed octopus.

He was able to become a board member of the Roth Financial Group because of his military force and destroyer. On the other hand, there was a business line that led directly to the starport.

He had decided to seek refuge with link instead of returning to the Roth Financial Group.

It was precisely because he was all alone now that the only trump card in his hands was this trade line. However, he still understood the principle of treasuring a jade ring being a crime. Without enough strength to protect themselves, this trade route would only benefit others.

Now, he chose to give up this business line as a proof of his loyalty, just so that he could join the umbrella Foundation.

It was because the eight-clawed octopus knew that this was the only thing he could use now.

There was no change in Link’s expression. The octopus couldn’t guess what link was thinking at all. It suddenly felt like its Emperor’s heart was like a deep abyss, hard to grasp.

you can explain in detail the relationship and source of the business line.

“the one in charge of this business line in stellaris port is my fellow brother,” the eight-clawed octopus said quickly. I’m in charge of the Roth Financial Group. I’m in charge of the trade of these rare species and materials at the edge of the star system. I’ll transport them to the star port for him to sell. as you know, the real big consortiums don’t even bother to do these small businesses. “The financial groups located in remote star systems, on the other hand, suffer from having no connections. They often can’t get much profit from the businesses in the starport.”

Link fell silent, and the octopus was terrified.

at this moment, his life was in link’s hands. if he wanted to, he could die at any time.

“What’s your name?”

The eight-clawed octopus was a little stunned.”Paul,” he said.

The name “Paul the Octopus” wasn’t bad.

At the same time, the name reminded link of the ultimate boss in version 6.0, Emperor Paul.

The current version was already in version 3.0, and there were only two versions left before he could meet Emperor Paul.

Link’s [ Heart of the Swarm ] mission had reached 25%. It would become more difficult as he progressed, and collecting the hive would become more and more ethereal. Especially during this process, there was a possibility of a direct confrontation with Emperor Paul, who was searching for the Zerg nest.

Link gradually pulled back his thoughts.

Looking at the pale face of the octopus in front of him, Paul’s camouflage color had faded away, and it became white and transparent. Its eyes were filled with despair.

“Go and gather your subordinates, then report back to the mechanical fortress!”

” of course, i don’t mean to take you in directly. from now on, we’ll inspect you on the way to stellaris port. When we arrive at Stellaris, we’ll arrange for all the organization members of the independent union to vote. Only after the votes are passed will you be considered to have officially joined.”

“If you agree, you can stay with your men.”

“If you don’t agree, then you can leave now.”

Octopus Paul’s face instantly turned red, just like a grilled squid.

“I’m willing, I’m willing, of course I’m willing. Thank you, Mr. President, for letting bygones be bygones and being magnanimous. My men and I will do our best for the umbrella Foundation, even if it means death.”

“Don’t be too full of yourself. Alright, go and gather your subordinates.”

After Paul left, link finally smiled.

The unexpected addition of octopus Paul had opened up a business route for link to the star ports. This would have an important impact on link in version 3.0 and even version 4.0.

one must know that starport was the core of the mowall galaxy cluster.

The important civilizations of the entire star system cluster were trading here. It was also the political center of the entire galaxy cluster.

the committee of star harbor’s autonomy was controlled by several major civilizations and forces in the morwall star cluster. The relationship between forces and organizations was complicated. even the powerful players could only circle around the various forces and rely on them. they had no way of establishing their own organization.

Now that he had unexpectedly obtained a trade route, link could bypass the complicated checks and assessments of the major organizations. He could freely import and export trade, buy the goods he needed, sell the products, and be reasonable and legal. He would not be restricted by the starport autonomy Committee.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Moreover, after swearing fealty to link, octopus Paul’s loyalty had reached 70 points.

This was a very high starting value.

Two days ago, link had used the Black Throne to destroy one of Paul’s frigates and take over his destroyer. It could be said that he went from rich to poor in an instant. It was not easy to have such high loyalty.

Moreover, octopus Paul and his men had been in charge of the development of the project, which played an important role for the umbrella Foundation.

With such a team that was good at engineering development, as long as they were given an engineering ship, the umbrella Foundation’s docks would be all over the Galaxy cluster. Then, Helen would be able to focus more on machinery.

Link also realized that octopus Paul must have had no other choice.

without destroyers, the roth financial group had suffered heavy losses. even their lost planet had been taken back.

As a director, octopus Paul also had a business line that connected to the starport.

There would only be one outcome if they returned, and that was to become someone else’s puppet and be held accountable.

If he did not return, he could only hide in the large dock and receive Shura’s protection.

However, the Roth Financial Group would definitely not let the traitor go. They would hire assassins or mercenary groups to find a way to capture Paul.

She had chosen to take the risk to meet link. There was no other way but to submit the application to enter D on the spot.

However, the benefits of success were also particularly great.

From a Financial group’s director in the tuz system, he had become a member of the umbrella Foundation.

Octopus Paul quickly told the good news to his subordinates who were willing to follow him.

they were originally at the end of the road, but after hearing this news, they instantly felt a sense of relief.

He rose from the bottom of the valley to the sky and became a member of the umbrella Foundation that everyone envied.

Although this member was still under observation, there were quotation marks in front of it.

The news of octopus Paul coming out of the mechanical fortress in joy spread like wildfire and spread throughout the entire long dock.

It didn’t take long for Paul to gather his men and return to the mechanical fortress.

Unlike before, when they looked as if they had just lost their parents, they were now in high spirits and proud, as if they were soldiers who had just returned from victory.

The other people at the vast dock were also tempted.

If an enemy like octopus Paul could join the umbrella Foundation, why couldn’t they?

Many people at the long dock, who had dreams or were depressed, had bright eyes like weasels who had seen chickens.

As long as they could join the umbrella Foundation, with the generous support of an advanced civilization, their dreams would be realized.

The subordinates who had chosen to leave earlier were now filled with regret.

They had never thought that their boss would seek the umbrella Foundation’s protection.

what was even more bizarre was that the umbrella foundation had actually agreed to their boss’s request to join.

This time, he immediately rose from a stray dog to the ranks of the upper class.

Although he was still a dog, being a dog for the Roth Financial Group and being a dog for the umbrella Foundation were two completely different concepts.

Some of the people who had left regretted it and squatted in front of the mechanical fortress to beg for their boss’s forgiveness. They wanted to return again, but they were rejected by octopus Paul.

Pony counted octopus Paul and his men. There were a total of 76 people.

“You can stay in the rest area. I’ll arrange for the Inhumans to create your own area. You can go to the destroyer and take your own items. As for those ownerless items, you can just give them to penny. Your current mission is to familiarize yourselves with the interior of the fortress. In the future, you will be responsible for the construction of the fortress. As for the tundra-class destroyer, Helen will modify it first and hand it over to you after we arrive at stars Harbor and pass the assessment.”

Octopus Paul was flattered. He had thought that joining the umbrella Foundation was great news. Now that he heard that he could actually get back the destroyer, he was ecstatic.

The other members ‘faces were also filled with joy. Nothing was more exciting than getting back their own items.

It was different from the Ross Financial Group in the past. After the members joined, they only took their own share.

The unclaimed parts were all handed over to penny.

Originally, octopus Paul was prepared to bring his subordinates to build it in the rest area, but he was stopped by penny.

“Remember, after you join the umbrella Foundation, you don’t have to do these things yourself. As long as you issue a mission and give a reward, the Inhumans in the Golden Foundation will help you solve it. Your reward can be skills, friendliness, or contribution points. Of course, I’ll give you a manual later on for you to learn.”

Paul and his men heard this and were surprised.

After joining, he didn’t have to do it himself, but instead, he had a relationship that was similar to an employer’s.

Could this be the advanced way of working in higher civilizations?

However, they did as penny said, and did as the Romans did.

Not to mention that they had not officially joined the umbrella Foundation yet. They could only join after they had verified the business route at Stellaris port and voted by all the forces in the independent union without any objection.

The task in front of Paul was very clear.

Build good relations with the independent Union’s other forces.

Penny left with the remaining ownerless supplies of the destroyer.

At the same time, the mechanical fortress called out to the players and independent union members outside.

After two hours, everyone returned to their positions, and the mechanical fortress sent out a request to leave the port.

in the midst of saint sula’s congratulatory and farewell, the mechanical fortress left the port and returned to its journey.

It was different from when they came. When they left, the mechanical fortress had stored enough gravity stones.

It could be said that Saint Sula was also very hungry, and it used two days to mine crazily. The number of gravitational stones collected by the construction ships far exceeded the players ‘manual mining, almost seven times the expected amount.

Everyone in the Independent Alliance had a great harvest! They had almost bought all the materials and equipment they wanted.

The players also bought some things that were helpful to them by doing missions and accepting agents, plus the universe dollars they had on hand.

Everyone had gained something, and they were all smiling.

Perhaps the only people who didn’t gain anything were the passersby at the far dock port.

They couldn’t figure out why octopus Paul could join the umbrella Foundation, but all their requests were rejected.

Was the difference between people really that big?

Just as the merchants and forces at the long dock were in self-doubt, the mechanical fortress had already left Saint Sula and warped to another star system.

President, among the items cleared out from the tundra-class destroyer, one of the candles is a little off. You need to take a look at it.

P.S. [guaranteed entry + additional chapters. I hope everyone has a good time ~]

I strongly recommend a new book by an old author in the game category, decadent Dragon’s new book “crown of disaster. brother Dragon is also Wanjun’s good brother, and this wave of book promotion is also a brotherly one. It’s also a Western fantasy theme, so the quality is guaranteed.

Death was like the wind, followed by disaster.

When I put on the crown,

never bow!

Goethe’s grandfather had died of illness, his parents, uncles, aunties, and cousins had all disappeared, and he was in high debts. The next thing was his terrible situation. He couldn’t help but smile and prepare to do everything.
