Chapter 336 Technology Investment! Innet Trade System! Cosmic Storm!

"With your current qualifications and abilities, and the resources you control, you are far more powerful than Megatronus."

"As long as you are willing to invest this resource in a global giant, I can guarantee you that within a year, you will see considerable returns."

Lucius patiently and meticulously analyzed the current market situation of the "Transformers" universe for Quentin Shah.

As of now, excluding the secret legacies left by the two elders, Yuanshi Tianzun and the Emperor of the Universe, Quentin Shah and the Creator Civilization have the most resources.

But since the Creator's civilization began to grow in size and quickly took over the affairs of the entire universe, Quentin Shah's assets and resources also began to shrink.

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→ⓣⓦⓚⓐⓝ.ⓒⓞⓜ]

Especially the reputation, influence and actual power have declined rapidly.

The reason why it left the Creator's civilization and set up a personal studio on its own was essentially to avoid having its power continuously plundered by the Creator's higher-ups.

If we can return to the reign of Yuanshi Tianzun, then Quentin Sha, who has the power of following the dragon, can also become the real second-in-command figure.

It's a pity that all the efforts Quentin Shah has made over the years have failed to prevent the Creator's civilization from becoming stronger and stronger, while his own assets are shrinking.

In addition, the war with the world's giant companies wasted a huge army of bounty hunters. Not only did they lose more profits, but they also had to trouble the Creator's civilization and were forced to keep a favor.

If Quentin Shah is so dejected and returns to the Creator's civilization, the outcome waiting for him is to become a high-level worker and lose his identity as one of the leaders of the Creator!

But if we think about it differently, if Quentin Shah cooperates with a global giant and joins the giant through technology investment, the situation will be completely different.

The world's giant companies have powerful and magnificent interstellar fleets, as well as a complete world trade system, sufficient consumer markets, and all walks of life are in a prosperous blue ocean state.

The human and material resources Quentin Shah wants can be easily satisfied by giant companies, and its technological achievements can also be exchanged for the rewards and power he wants from giant companies.

In the "Transformers" universe, as long as Quentin Shah nods and is willing to cooperate with giant companies, it can immediately gain an equal status with the interstellar governor.

This is comparable to being the second-in-command of Yuanshi Tianzun, or returning to the Creator's civilization as a high-level tool. It is so much more free and comfortable!

Private studios can be retained, have a higher status, join forces with the strong to become bigger and stronger, are not constrained by the Creator's civilization, and resource assets continue to grow...

In short, the benefits of joining a giant company in the world are far greater than siding with Yuanshi Tianzun or the Creator Civilization.

Thinking of this, Quentin Shah, who was still a little resistant at first, suddenly fell silent.

It suddenly felt that what Lucius said was not completely unreasonable.

In the past few years, everything I have done was just to become a regular under the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Now there is an opportunity to cash out at a high price and re-establish a position to keep up with the crazy stocks. Why refuse it?

While Quentin Shah was thinking about it, Ott Cunningham also got the latest news about the technical test.

[Report to the supervisor, we verified it in the Science Hub Department and found that the technologies provided by Quentinsha are all feasible, and the explanation and analysis are very detailed! 】

Zuma couldn't hide his excitement in his voice. After obtaining these technologies, they were very close to building a deformed building.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Otto nodded slightly. Since there is no problem with the technology, it is time to continue with the next transaction with Quentinsha.

"Quentin Shah, our trade negotiations can continue."

However, before Ultra could finish speaking, Quentinsha suddenly interrupted him. It had already thought of its own choice:

"I met your executive officer in the previous battle, and I want to talk to him about the next negotiations!"

Seeing this, Otto and Lucius first looked at each other. Obviously, they were also surprised that the other party would actually seek cooperation.

Immediately afterwards, after repeating Quentin Shah's request to Li Ang and getting permission.

Only then did they present the holographic screen connected to the Night City headquarters in front of Quentin Shah.

The next second, Li Ang's figure appeared in front of Quentinsha.

[Quentin Shah, it seems you have made the right choice. 】

…

…

Two years later, Night City, Morro Rock Airport.

[The number one player in the 777th issue of "Oasis" has appeared. He is Penny Wells from the Heywood District of Night City! 】

The announcement sound echoed in the baggage claim area of ​​the airport.

It is spacious and bright, and there are holographic navigation maps in each key area to let passengers know which carousel they should go to and wait for.

In the corridor connecting the hall to the outside world, holographic GG related to various industries of giant companies around the world, movies, electronic products, Mewtwo games, and even the cultural IP of various giant companies are played.

For example, the "Oasis" game was released by the IOI department of the giant company's publicity department, combining Mewtwo technology and the Death Lottery Fund.

Each issue of "Oasis" will issue a decryption level, allowing players to find the key to open the treasure.

The content in the treasure includes various privilege rewards such as large sums of cash that are not limited to the real world, collector's edition figures, or free visits to giant structures.

Among the new generation of young people in giant companies, "Oasis" is undoubtedly the most popular holographic game at the moment.

"Haha! It's finally my turn to be cool."

A young man was in the waiting hall of the airport. After seeing the message on the GG screen, his eyes suddenly lit up. He was the lucky player who won the lottery, Penny Wells.

Of course, he also has a more special identity, that is, he is the eldest son of Iron Hands Chapter Leader Jack Wells!

This time he returned to Ideal City from the "Pacific Rim" universe, mainly to join the army and join his father's command.

"What can you get from this treasure?"

The person who asked the question was Sam, the male protagonist from the "Transformers" universe. Like Pani, he came to join the army.

Moreover, the two of them became close partners while on their way to report to the military headquarters.

"Hmm... As a permanent SVIP member of Lizzy Bar, you can enjoy top-notch service three times a day. Tsk! Come on, if my old man finds out, he will be stripped of his skin."

Pani shook his head and chuckled, even though he had a prestigious marshal father like Jack Wills.

But the education he received since childhood was not as arrogant and indulgent as the stereotype of the rich second generation or the powerful second generation.

On the contrary, Pani had reborn independently in other universes early, completed arduous studies at Arasaka Academy, and prepared to join the army after graduation.

Compared with other college students, Pani's family background can help him achieve a huge harvest of resources for every effort.

Therefore, whether in study or training, Parney Wells works extra hard. After all, he has much more positive feedback than his peers.

"Sam, why do you want to join the army? You are a great hero who has saved the earth. With President Galloway taking care of you, you have already had enough food and clothing."

At this time, Pani laughed and teased the other party.

Sam is a well-known savior on Earth in the "Transformers" universe. He can make a lot of money just by being an actor in GG.

There is really no need to go to Ideal City to join the army. You must know that the requirements for joining the army of the Development Department are getting higher and higher every year. Those who can stay are all "monsters" who can fly and escape.

"What else could it be for? To make progress."

Sam responded with a smile.

I don't know if it was because of the afterimage energy left by the Ancestor Supreme that Sam's brain had changed. He felt like he suddenly had an enlightenment after that day.

Not only did he make rapid progress in his studies, but his physical fitness was far superior to that of his peers, and he easily passed the preliminary review requirements of the Development Department.

However, the reason why Sam joined the Development Department and the army this time was not only for his personal future, but also for the sake of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and other Autobots who also stayed in the Development Department.

Fighting side by side with his former partners is the life Sam wants. In fact, it is meaningless to enjoy it by himself.

"Ha! Same as me, but I also hope that I can stand up for myself and prove to my mother that I am no worse than my old man!"

Pani and Sam hit it off immediately, and they have a good relationship, so they can express each other's feelings.

After returning to Night City this time, Pani will invite Sam to return to Heywood to try the tortillas and tamales made by his mother, Mrs. Misty.

These dishes are the special skills that his grandmother taught his mother. Jack Wills usually likes to eat these two kinds of food when he comes home.

Immediately, the two left the corridor of the airport and came to the more spacious and bright hall.

Various hollow architectural structures, holographic screens, and tens of thousands of travelers from all over the universe all show the unique charm of Night City.

"Sam Witwicky, Parney Wells, I have been ordered by the Development Department Headquarters to pick up the two of you."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

"Oh my God! Uncle David! It's you who came to pick us up in person!"

Looking at David Martinez, who was wearing casual clothes, Pani and Sam were almost shocked. This general was the most famous big shot in the development department of a giant company.

The reputation and honor are infinitely close to those of V back then!

"I told you, I came to pick you up on orders from the headquarters. Get in the car quickly!"

David kept a serious expression throughout the whole process and did not quarrel with the two for too long. He just kept urging the two young men to leave the hall.

And Pani, who had been seeing the world with his parents since he was a child, naturally realized that this was his father's personal arrangement.

David is a disciple of Jack Wills, and he is the son of David's mentor. This relationship is naturally self-evident.

Likewise, Pani also realized that David would be one of the invited members at tonight’s seder.

"Yes!" Pani nodded repeatedly.

Not long after, the latest Sword in the Stone hover vehicle drove out of the airport. After arriving on the main road, it quickly turned to the military's exclusive acceleration channel.

In the suspended car, Pani looked at the night city scene outside the car window and couldn't help but sigh:

"The last time I saw Night City was three years ago. I didn't expect it to have changed so much now!"

Due to the rapid integration of the world's giants, Night City, as the core of the capital, will naturally continue to change with the entry of new forces. Nowadays, psychedelic holographic facilities have become popular, cheap, and the most prosperous areas have been replaced with more convenient hard light screens.

Various simple AI drones have completely replaced the logistics and transportation in the catering and retail industries. Fortunately, the transportation network in Night City is complete enough, so it did not cause all kinds of chaotic congestion.

I looked at the other passages outside the car window and were all moving slowly and steadily, but I was able to pass through the acceleration passage and speed all the way.

Pani, who had just graduated from the college, felt clearly for the first time the benefits of privilege.

But that's true. The college puts people from different classes in the same place to be managed. After graduation, everyone returns to their own positions, and that's it.

"Uncle David, will my uncle come back tonight?"

The uncle Pani refers to naturally refers to V.

As Jack's half-brother, V was a frequent visitor to Jack's house before he became the Interstellar Governor. And since Pani was a child, he naturally saw V visiting his house.

"Governor V is very busy right now. There are a lot of things in the Transformers universe, and there are only a few days of free time throughout the year."

"But I took a look at the work situation over there, and it should be pretty busy now."

David finally put down his serious expression and communicated with his junior Pani in his normal tone.

"Why, the work over there is almost finished?"

Pani listened curiously. Although he was born into the top class of power and could hear all kinds of inside information every day, Pani had always had a strong curiosity about these things.

After all, if he wanted to, he could easily get access to first-hand information.

"Yes, the Innet trading body that Quentinsha and his boss worked together has now basically taken shape."

“By opening up wider, faster, and more stable transaction channels, the risk of resource exchange between parties will be smaller and the efficiency will be higher.”

David also looked at the scene outside the car window. In the past two years, various Transformers have popped up, including the Covenant Elite and a bunch of tall robots.

There are more and more civilized species in Night City.

"Innet Trading Body? What is that?"

Pani continued to ask. He had heard of this term in Arasaka Academy, but he didn't know its specific meaning.

"I can't answer this for you. Go back and ask your dad." David smiled and said, considering his level, there was no problem in answering this question.

But Pani, a young man who had just graduated from college, still had to start from the grassroots level. Even if he knew the inside information about top-level design, it would be useless.

Sometimes knowing too much can easily make Pani develop a high-spirited attitude.

"All right."

Pani pursed his lips in slight disappointment.

Later, David, Pani, and Sam chatted about future arrangements and interesting things in the college.

Not long after, the Sword in the Stone hover vehicle arrived at the military camp of the Wanjie Base branch.

After passing the security check and completing identity verification, the armed forces released them and allowed them to enter the depths of the camp.

…

On the other side, Night City, Watson District, the headquarters of giant companies in the world!

"Boss, this is the situation of cosmic storms in various universes in the past two years. Compared with the past period, the frequency of cosmic storms in the past two years has dropped significantly."

At this moment, Lucy was rarely wearing her usual company uniform. Instead, she was wearing a gray turtleneck that highlighted her impressive curves, and light-colored jeans that outlined her graceful figure.

She stood next to Li Ang and made a report seriously.

"Okay, I get it."

Li Ang, who was sitting at the desk, responded softly, but his eyes did not move from the hard light screen in front of him to Lucy.

Because the screen content that Li Ang is looking at now is the Innet trading system panel of the world trade circle!

The so-called Innet trade system is a plan to upgrade the world trade circle proposed by the Innet civilization of the main universe.

The core content of the plan is: optimizing material storage routes, setting up more trading centers, protecting trade routes, and fighting against troublesome cosmic storms.

As the world's giants become more and more cosmically integrated, the trade circle system created by Li Ang also begins to have complex trade networks.

In order to make better use of the developed productivity, mobilize the extremely abundant material resources more efficiently, and ensure the social welfare of the civilization of giant enterprises.

It is urgent to optimize and upgrade the global trade circle.

And the most difficult problem to solve is the cosmic storm!

The reasons for the formation of cosmic storms are complex, but one of the key reasons lies in various inevitable factors caused by the development of civilization.

For example, the speeding back and forth of various super-light spacecraft and battleships can easily cause the dimensions of the universe to become unstable over time, causing a certain space node to collapse, and ultimately unstable energy to leak into the physical space.

Or the over-exploitation of resources has destroyed the delicate balance of the universe, and a combination of various complex factors has led to frequent cosmic storms.

To put it simply, the universe cannot withstand the torment of so many advanced civilizations, such as fancy star-exploding mining, super-light racing, and mining of matter in black holes...

These will lead to more and more natural disasters in the universe, and cosmic storms are one of the most common.

But cosmic storms are like tornadoes, destroying various celestial bodies, buildings, and waterways along the way.

Over the years, many giant companies around the world have lost their goods due to natural disasters such as cosmic storms, which has harmed their interests.

Fortunately, with the participation of Quentin Shah, the giant companies in the world joined forces with engineers from the Innet Civilization and the Creator Civilization to jointly develop a local turbulence suppressor.

This suppressor can pull the movement path of the cosmic storm and lead it to other areas.

To a certain extent, this can also be regarded as an alternative cosmic law-level weapon of the Universal Corporation!

Because the cosmic storm will not disappear out of thin air, it will only be transferred. As for where it will be transferred, it depends on the intention of the Universal Corporation.

If there is any blind civilization that dares to betray the trade circle system, Li Ang can pull the cosmic storm at any time and uproot the entire species civilization of the other party.

You know, an ordinary cosmic storm will affect dozens or even hundreds of star systems at one time!

Even if it is as powerful as the Universal Corporation, when it encounters such an unreasonable cosmic storm, it can only slip away and hide.

"Quentinsha hasn't made any trouble recently."

Li Ang asked casually.

Since two years ago, Quentinsha nodded to cooperate with the Universal Corporation under the persuasion of Lucius.

The Creator Civilization, which was stabbed in the back, had no choice but to join the Universal Trade Circle and become a part of it in the face of the powerful alliance between the Universal Corporation and Quentinsha.

The decision-makers of the entire Transformers universe were handed over to Leon and Quentinsha.

On the surface, the Transformers universe has two decision-makers, but in fact, Quentinsha herself does not have a strong desire for power.

Otherwise, with her ability and opportunities, she would have been able to rule the Transformers universe long ago.

So after cooperating with the Universal Corporation, Quentinsha still engaged in her old business, and the main person in power in this universe was the executive of the corporation, Leon.

Facing the double-faced Quentinsha, who jumped back and forth, the senior officials of the Creator Civilization were the victims.

First, they were fooled into spending huge sums of money to raise a fleet and prepare for war, and then they were stabbed in the back by Quentinsha and lost the house certificate that they had finally left.

In this regard, the Creator's high-level people who had no words to say could only curse Quentinsha "Aminos", but that was all.

Because they were no match for the Universal Corporation.

As soon as the fleet of the Creator civilization ran to the edge of the Milky Way, they saw a group of bounty hunters recruited by the giant corporation, staring at them covetously.

This battle could not be fought at all.

After winning over Quentinsha, Li Ang also built a scientific hub megastructure for it to use for research and development of its own technical projects.

As one of the few technical equity partners of the Universal Corporation, Quentinsha did give the giant corporation enough practical technology points.

For example, the improved [Seed] technology, the deformed metal exploded by this enhanced seed, can already allow the giant corporation to create a batch of Transformers version of [War Moon]!

Mass production of War Moon megastructures, which was something that was unthinkable a few years ago, but now it can be easily achieved.

"Everything is fine with Quentinsha, but she often invites you to meet privately, but I have put them all on hold."

When Lucy mentioned this, her expression changed subtly, and her brows slightly frowned, as if she recalled something unpleasant.

The sixth sense of women told her that Quentinsha must have bad intentions!

After hearing this, Leon hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

It's not that he and Quentinsha haven't communicated privately, but the main content of the chat was various decisions and some secrets of the top management of giant companies.

Quentinsha was very curious about Leon's secrets, and often asked about the principles of the matrix, or how the star gate was built.

In response, Leon evaded all the questions.

Leon could understand Quentinsha's strong curiosity.

After all, a god like it can only make Quentinsha feel a sense of accomplishment by comprehending the truth and revealing the mystery.

As for money, feelings, and dopamine that stimulates sexual behavior, it has no interest at all.

Of course, if Quentinsha knew that humans have a legal division, a way to plunder each other's resources, secrets, and property called marriage.

Then she would definitely pursue Leon immediately and look forward to entering the palace of marriage as soon as possible so as to learn all the secrets of Leon.

But Leon will not give Quentinsha this opportunity.

In fact, with Leon's current status, no one can match him. He can easily have countless women, but the world giant company will not have a mistress.

The supreme power cannot tolerate the slightest encroachment. Except for Leon, others who touch it will die.
