Chapter Eight Hundred and Ninetieth: Candle Smoked Table

"Ah? They were all chased by the Umbrella Foundation and escaped from the ship, but now they want to join in. Isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" The people around Sarah couldn't help but exclaimed, unable to understand the thoughts of the octopus.

It is rumored that the octopus race is a rare intelligent race in the universe, and its multi-brain distribution structure ensures that its thinking and reactions are different from other races. In the Tus galaxy, the octopus people also play important roles such as resourcefulness or staff in various forces.

But right now, the octopus can make such an abnormal behavior, it is really weird.

Sarah smiled and said, "I actually think he might become a colleague with my uncle. The Umbrella Foundation's actions are wild and unconstrained, and the antelope hangs its horns, and there are always unexpected moves. This octopus abandoned the ship and returned to the ship. The Ross Consortium is no longer possible. You can’t stay in Yuanda Dock for a lifetime, and the only thing that can break the situation now is to join the Umbrella Foundation.”

"If he succeeds, then the next step will be interesting. The forces and members in Yuanda Dock will definitely follow suit."

Sarah signed an alliance agreement with the Umbrella Foundation, which gave her the opportunity to work closely with San Sula and was treated as a guest of honor.

Who can refuse to join a higher civilization and miss the opportunity to transform into a dragon by leaping over the dragon's gate?

The news that the octopus appeared alone at the connection gate of the port mechanical fortress spread like wildfire.

Although the Yuanda Dock has been under temporary control, and the port area is the top priority of the control, many passers-by who are hiding in the dark outside the port still saw this scene.

The news quickly spread throughout the Yuanda Dock by air, and many people guessed the purpose of the octopus, and they were all concerned about whether this crazy idea could come true. If the Umbrella Foundation can even accept an octopus, then they have to try it too!

Not long after, the old butler Alfred walked out from the passage, leading the octopus into the mechanical fortress.

The octopus felt uneasy.

He didn't know anything about the Umbrella Foundation. The only thing he knew was that the last time the Black Throne appeared, he wiped out the almost full fleet with a destructive force. Become a shadow that hangs over the hearts of all forces.

It's just that the old man in front of him, who is like a housekeeper, contains particularly terrifying energy.

The octopus felt the aura of the undead from him, but the most frightening thing was that there was a layer of active life force outside the aura of the undead. These two completely different energies, which can even be said to be rivals, are harmoniously concentrated in one body, which shows the strength of the Umbrella Foundation.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, even a housekeeper has such unpredictable strength.

The octopus walked into the mechanical fortress in awe.

The internal layout of the mechanical fortress is magnificent, but the exterior looks ordinary, just like a destroyer.

But the octopus doesn't underestimate the Umbrella Foundation just because of that.

When the planet was lost, the horror of the Black Throne was vividly remembered. He dared not forget that strong sense of oppression and despair in his life.

Powerful and understated, that's how the octopus looks to the Umbrella Foundation.

When passing the rest area, the octopus saw an endless stream of people coming and going.

The distinctive buildings and forces in the rest area caught his eyes.

It's just that the number of forces that appeared in front of his eyes has surpassed that of the Ross Consortium. Being able to integrate so many forces and let them coexist harmoniously shows Link's power.

This also gave Octopus the hope of joining the Umbrella Foundation. Since there are so many forces, it is okay to have one more of them, right?

Alfred brought the octopus to the door of Link's lounge, and said, "Master President is inside."

The mechanical door let out a chirping sound.

The octopus walked into the lounge anxiously, and immediately saw Link sitting on the sofa listening to music.

Although the back is facing away, the mountain-like temperament gives people a feeling of majesty and unshakable.

"I heard you were looking for me?" Link didn't turn his head, but the voice had already drifted over.

The octopus bowed and walked quickly to Link, and said in a humble tone: "Dear Chairman, I have drawn a clear line with the Ross Consortium, and I am here to bring my subordinates to surrender. I hope that with my humble I can make a little contribution to the Umbrella Foundation..."

Link raised his brows slightly, he didn't expect the octopus to come here to surrender.

The octopus has a great attitude, and after the sentence just now, Link's system shows that the other party's loyalty has reached 65 points. Obviously, the word of surrender is not casual.

However, Link did not easily agree to the other party, but instead asked: "You said you would join the Umbrella Foundation, but I want to know what your joining can bring to the Foundation?"

The Umbrella Foundation has an extraordinary status, a large number of talents, and a black throne form, and is well-known in the Tus galaxy.

This is not a gangster society, and there is no need to win by numbers.

If you don't have any special skills or characteristics, what qualifications do you have to join the Umbrella Foundation?

In other words, the Umbrella Foundation does not accept waste!

Regarding this point, the octopus had already thought about it before it came.

The so-called role refers to the core competitiveness, which is different from other forces.

The octopus considered for a moment and said: "We are mainly responsible for engineering development and smuggling and dumping in the Ross consortium, and we have complex and abundant sales channels in the Tus galaxy."

Finding that Link's expression didn't fluctuate at all, the octopus panicked, and quickly added: "In addition to these, I also have a sales route in Port of Stars... Although this sales route usually transports some Ross Consortium items, it is essentially My personal relationship channel... Although I don't know your itinerary plan, but I think Port of Stars is the core trade area of ​​the Morvor galaxy cluster, and it would be good to stop for a rest. If you and your subordinates have any purchase needs at that time , I can guarantee that this relationship channel is definitely the lowest in all Star Ports."

This is the trump card of the octopus.

He can be among the directors of the Ross Consortium, on the one hand because of his own strength and destroyers; on the other hand, there is this direct commercial line to Port of Stars.

The reason why he decided to join Link instead of returning to the Ross Consortium.

It is precisely because he is alone now that the only hole card in his hand is this business line. But he still understands the reason why it is a crime to conceive a jade. Without enough strength to protect themselves, this business line will only make wedding dresses for others.

Now he chose to present this business line as a nomination certificate, just to be able to join the Umbrella Foundation.

Because the octopus knows that this is the only place he can use now.

No waves could be seen on Link's face, and the octopus couldn't guess what Link was thinking at all, and suddenly felt an elusive and elusive feeling.

"You can tell me in detail the relationship and source of the business line."

The eight-clawed octopus spoke faster: "It is my brother who is in charge of this business line in Port of Stars. I am in the Ross Consortium, and I am in charge of transporting these exotic and rare species materials from marginal galaxies to Port of Stars through commercial docking. Sell ​​it to him. As you know, the real big consortiums don’t bother to do these small businesses at all. The consortiums located in remote galaxies suffer from the fact that they have nothing to do with them, and they often don’t get much profit when they connect with merchants in Port of Stars.”

Link fell into silence, and the octopus was terrified.

At this moment, his life is in the hands of Link, as long as he wants to, he can die without a burial at any time.

"What's your name?"

The octopus didn't respond: "Paul."

Octopus Paul...that's an okay name.

At the same time, the name also made Link think of the ultimate boss in version 6.0, Emperor Paul.

Now the version has entered the 3.0 stage, and there are only two versions left before meeting Paul the Great.

Link's [Heart of the Swarm] mission has reached 25%, and the difficulty becomes more and more difficult as it goes on, and the collection of Zerg nests becomes more and more illusory. Especially in the process, it is possible to go head-to-head with Paul the Great who is looking for the Zerg Hive.

Link's drifting thoughts gradually retracted.

Looking at the octopus Paul in front of him, his face was pale. All the camouflage pigments of the octopus had faded away, becoming pale and transparent, with despair in his eyes.

"Go gather your subordinates, and then come to the mechanical fortress to report!"

"Of course, I didn't mean to accept you directly. From now until Qunxing Port, we will conduct investigations along the way. After we arrive at Qunxing Port, we will arrange for all members of the Independent Federation to vote. Only when voting collectively After passing, you will officially join.”

"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 rosy, like grilled squid, extremely red.

"I would like to, of course I would. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for letting go of the past and being magnanimous. My subordinates and I must devote ourselves to the Umbrella Foundation until we die."

"Don't talk too much. Alright, let's call your men now."

After Paul the Octopus left, a smile appeared on the corner of Link's mouth.

The accidental joining of Paul the Octopus allowed Link to open up a business line in Port of Stars, which had an extremely important impact on Link in version 3.0 and even version 4.0.

It is important to know that Port of Stars is the core area of ​​the Morvor galaxy cluster.

Important civilizations throughout the galaxy cluster trade here. At the same time, it is also the political center of the entire galaxy cluster.

The Port of Stars Autonomous Committee is controlled by several major civilizations and forces in the Morvor galaxy cluster. The forces and organizations are intertwined and the relationship is complicated. Even if it is as powerful as a player, it can only deal with many forces and attach itself to the major forces, and there is no way to establish an organization that truly belongs to itself.

Now that he accidentally owns a business line, Link can bypass the complicated review and evaluation of several major organizations, freely import and export trade, buy the items he needs, and sell the output, which is reasonable and legal, and is not restricted by the Qunxing Port Autonomous Committee.

It was a pleasant surprise.

And after swearing allegiance to Link, the loyalty of Octopus Paul has reached 70 points.

This is a high initial value.

You must know that two days ago, Link had just smashed a frigate of Octopus Paul with the Black Throne, and forcibly occupied his destroyer. It can be said that it is not easy to have such a high degree of loyalty from being rich to being poor in an instant.

Moreover, Paul the Octopus and his men were responsible for engineering development, which played an important role in the Umbrella Foundation.

There is such a team that is good at engineering development, as long as they are given an engineering ship, the docks of the Umbrella Foundation will be all over the galaxy cluster. Helen can free up more energy and focus on the mechanical aspects.

And Link also thought that Paul the octopus should be desperate.

Without destroyers, troops were lost, and even the lost planet was recaptured. The Ross Consortium suffered heavy losses this time.

Octopus Paul, as a director, also has a business line connecting Qunxing Port.

There is only one result of going back, becoming someone else's puppet and being held accountable.

If you don't go back, you can only hide in Yuanda Dock and be protected by Shang Sula.

But the Ross Consortium will definitely not let the traitor go, and will hire killers or mercenary groups to find ways to capture Paul the octopus.

Choose to take the risk to meet Link. There is indeed no way to submit the application for admission to D on the spot.

But the chess game is a risky move, and the benefits of success are also exceptionally large.

From a director of a consortium in the Tus galaxy to a member of the Umbrella Foundation.

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

Originally at the end of the road, after hearing the news, I immediately felt a sense of disbelief.

From the bottom of the valley, he soared to the sky and became a member of the Umbrella Foundation that everyone envied.

Although this member must be preceded by a quotation mark, it is still in the investigation period.

The news that Paul the Octopus came out of the mechanical fortress happily spread like wildfire and spread throughout the vast dock.

It didn't take long for Paul to gather his men and return to the Mechanical Fortress.

Different from the bereaved concubine before, everyone's faces are now full of vigor and triumph, as if they had defeated the returning soldiers.

Others in Yuanda Hangdock were also moved.

Even an enemy like Paul the Octopus can join the Umbrella Foundation, so why can't they?

Many people in Yuandahangwu who have ideals or are depressed, their eyes are shining at this time, like a weasel seeing a chicken.

As long as they can join the Umbrella Foundation, with the generous support of a higher civilization, their dreams can be realized.

The subordinate who chose to leave Mingzhe to protect himself before, is now full of regret in his heart.

They never expected that their boss would seek protection from the Umbrella Foundation.

What's even more bizarre is that the Umbrella Foundation actually agreed to the boss's request to merge.

This time, he immediately rose from the ranks of the poor dogs to the ranks of the upper class.

Although it is still a dog, being a dog for the Ross Foundation and being a dog for the Umbrella Foundation are two completely different concepts.

Some people who left regretted it, and squatted in front of the mechanical fortress to ask the boss for forgiveness. They wanted to come back again, but they were rejected by the octopus Paul with righteous words.

Penny counted Paul the Octopus and his men, number seventy-six in all.

"You just settle in the rest area, and I will arrange for someone else to create an exclusive area for you. You can go to the destroyer to take out your own items. As for those unowned items, just leave them to Perney. Your temporary task is Familiar with the environment inside the mechanical fortress, I will be mainly responsible for the engineering construction in the future. As for the tundra-class destroyer, Helen will first carry out the transformation, and when it arrives at Port of Stars, it will be handed over to you again after passing the assessment."

Paul the Octopus was flattered. He originally thought that joining the Umbrella Foundation was great news, but now he heard that it was possible to regain the destroyer. He was almost ecstatic.

The faces of other members are also full of happiness, nothing can be more exciting than getting back their own items.

Unlike in the Ross Consortium in the past, after the members joined, they only took their own part in a proper manner.

Those other people or unclaimed parts, all turned over to Penny.

Originally, Paul the Octopus was going to lead his men to build in the rest area by himself, but he was stopped by Penny.

"Remember, when you join the Umbrella Foundation in the future, you don't have to do these things yourself. You just need to issue tasks to give rewards, and the aliens in the foundation will help you solve them. Your rewards can be skills, friendliness, or contribution points .Of course, I will give you an operation guide in the future, so you can study it."

Paul and his subordinates heard, is there such a good thing?

After joining, he didn't need to do it himself, but adopted a relationship similar to employment.

Is this the advanced working method of advanced civilization?

But they do what Penny tells them to do, and they do as the Romans do.

What's more, they haven't formally joined the Umbrella Foundation. They can only join smoothly after they have verified the business line at Qunxing Port and all the forces of the Independent Federation have voted for it.

Then the task before Paul is very clear.

Build a good relationship with other forces of the Independent Federation.

Penny left with the destroyer's remaining unowned supplies.

At the same time, the mechanical fortress called out players and members of the Independent Federation.

After two hours, all the staff returned to their positions, and the mechanical fortress issued a departure application.

Amid the congratulations and farewell sounds from San Sula, the mechanical fortress left the port and returned to the itinerary again.

Unlike when he came, when he left, a sufficient amount of gravitational stones had been stored in the mechanical fortress.

San Sula can also be said to be hungry and thirsty, and it took two days to mine frantically. The number of gravitational stones collected by engineering ships is far better than that manually mined by players, almost reaching seven times the previously expected amount.

Everyone in the Independent Federation has gained a lot! We almost bought the materials or equipment we wanted.

Players also bought some things that are helpful to themselves by doing missions to pick up agents, plus the universe currency exchanged at hand.

Everyone has gained something and has a smile on their faces.

Perhaps the only ones who didn't gain anything were the passers-by staying at the Yuanda Dock port.

They couldn't figure out why Paul the Octopus could join the Umbrella Foundation, but all their requests were rejected?

Is the gap between people so big?

Just when the merchants and forces in the Grand Dock fell into self-doubt, the mechanical fortress had left Santa Sula and jumped to other star systems.

"President, among the items cleaned up from the Tundra-class destroyer, there is something wrong with one of the Candlelight Stands, I need you to take a look..."

Goethe, who traveled across time, was faced with the death of his grandfather, the disappearance of his parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​in just one month, and he was heavily in debt, and the next one would be his terrible situation... A smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, ready to ruin everything.
