Chapter 241 Cooperation Achieved and [Immortal Evolution]

As mentioned earlier, Blood Secret is currently busy dealing with another large corporation and has no time to attend to a small business in a remote area. Martin asked these questions simply to observe the reaction of his future partner.

There is no doubt that he did not see the scene he had imagined.

Li Ang showed absolutely no fear of Blood Secrets, not even a hint of seriousness, as if this food industry giant that spanned the Obsidian Starfield was just some random cat or dog on the street.

But what's the reason? There must be something supporting this attitude, right?
Martin, who had some understanding of his future collaborator, did not think the young man was the kind of person who acted recklessly; such a performance must have been based on solid reasoning.

With some doubts in his mind, the quartermaster began to search through the information in his mind.

He quickly made what he believed to be the correct conjecture.

【AIO Logistics】

This global giant had appeared in the other party's resume multiple times, and the two had even crossed paths before when they were in the Kells Cluster.

If the dragon before us has this confidence, then it does explain why it looks down on Blood Secret.

Compared to [AIO Logistics], Secret Blood Company is indeed nothing.

Thinking of this, a look of understanding flashed in Martin's eyes, and then he smiled and shook his head, saying, "It seems I was overthinking it. I agree to the cooperation."

"?"

Looking at the yin-yang person opposite him who seemed to have thought of something, Li Ang raised an eyebrow.

However, since the other party had already agreed to cooperate with the plant community, he didn't bother to investigate further.

After all, maintaining the plan to continue collecting career information would undoubtedly require a huge amount of funding.

You can't expect a horse to run without feeding it, can you?

In any case, for Li Ang, the money in the main universe basically only has this one use.

Furthermore, stripping Blood Secrets of its market share would likely trigger a major event, making the agreement with the 9000 Army Group a win-win situation.

This refers to Li Ang winning twice by himself.

Although a verbal agreement has been reached, the specific details still need to be carefully discussed by both parties.

Ultimately, for the Federation's violent agency stationed in the Obsidian Starfield, becoming a supplier for the 9000th Army Group is no small feat, even if the Plant Alliance's share isn't that large.

Fortunately, Li Ang didn't need to worry about these things, since many of the Servants he pulled from the Type-Moon world were skilled in business matters.

Incidentally, a certain white-haired online scammer has thrived since entering the main universe and has returned to his old ways as a VTuber, now operating under the alias 'Magical Meryl-chan' on the networks of several nearby star systems.

Li Ang wouldn't interfere with such personal hobbies, since those viewers were genuinely donating money, and Merlin could also get some insider information from the top donor.

It's like the governor of a planet in a neighboring galaxy having his 89th concubine who is actually his own sister.
After finishing his business, Martin casually opened a bottle of the new energy drink in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

As the refreshing drink went down his throat, a hint of surprise flashed in the quartermaster's eyes, and he asked with some astonishment, "Your product iteration is so fast?"

"It's all thanks to my subordinates."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang smiled and opened a can of beverage as well.

This batch of energy drinks is a new product developed by Karina based on information sent back by Christine. It essentially uses the technology of Secret Blood Company, but the raw materials have been changed to Refreshing Fruit.

Therefore, what he said is not wrong.

After taking a few sips of [Clarity Blood Type I], Li Ang adopted a nonchalant attitude: "I saw Lady Afra a few days ago. Has something happened in the Obsidian Starfield recently?"

The two sentences are unrelated; he simply wanted to use that congressman's name to investigate any recent anomalies in the Federation.

Although Li Ang was also part of the Federation system, it was clear that the intelligence available to the planetary governor and the army group was different; at the very least, he had not received any information.

When asked, Martin was taken aback for a moment, then a strange look appeared on his face: "Lady Afra? I didn't expect you to be so well-informed."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang immediately became extremely alert.

He hadn't expected to get any useful information from the other party, but to his surprise, he actually gained something.

Martin didn't keep them in suspense and quickly revealed what he knew.

However, unlike what Li Ang had imagined, the so-called major event was not world development, but another matter that was equally related to him.

He never imagined that even after so much time had passed, what happened on colony 9527 could still bounce back and hit him like a boomerang.

"You should know about the Zerg Queen who has been lingering near the Obsidian Starfield, right? The war between the army group and her has entered a fierce stage. The army commander has taken action more than once, but unfortunately, he has not been able to kill her."

"However, the army group has recently discovered something. The Zerg Queen seems to have some connection with the people of [Immortal Evolution]."

Logically, Martin shouldn't have revealed this information to outsiders, but who could blame him when the Zerg Queen was, in a way, attracted by the dragon before him?

Even without what happened on colony 9527, the Zerg queen would most likely still have headed towards the Obsidian Starfield.

Thinking this, Martin couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "According to the military's deductions, the incident on Colony 9527 was probably also fueled by those madmen from [Immortal Evolution]."

"."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang fell silent for a moment.

To be honest, he had some doubts when he fought Brando. After all, it was obvious that Brando was initially going for the mechanical type. Even if he wanted to change direction later, he shouldn't have jumped from the mechanical type to the biological type.

It's like he's cultivating immortality, but he can't break through, so he tries to use magic instead.

'【Immortal Evolution】.'

Li Ang had heard the name of this global behemoth many times, and each time it was accompanied by descriptions like "madman".

To be honest, he didn't have a very good impression of the other party.

Seeing that Li Ang remained silent, Martin assumed he was frightened and reassured him, "Don't worry, with the army group over there, the Zerg Queen can't get over here."

"Only those lunatics from the [Immortal Evolution] group are a bit troublesome. You'd better be careful on a regular basis and prevent them from infiltrating the planets under your jurisdiction."

Inadvertently, the androgynous quartermaster revealed some information.

That is, [Immortal Evolution] seems to be preparing to do something, and has even infiltrated the Obsidian Starfield.

Li Ang was naturally aware of this, but he did not ask.

Firstly, the Bar Cluster, where Morabis Star is located, is not the closest star cluster to the border. Even if the people of [Immortal Evolution] infiltrated the Obsidian Starfield, they would most likely not appear here.

Secondly, with the blessing of the Great Luo Cave Observation, there is nothing on Morabis Star that can escape Li Ang's sight.

Unless the other party knew of the existence of the [Great Luo Cave Observation] beforehand, and happened to be a high-level professional skilled in the art of concealment, it would be impossible to deceive them.

'But what exactly do they want to do?'

Li Ang has been in this world for some years now, and during that time, apart from the Empire, he has never seen another force that dares to oppose the Federation.

Of the five global giants, aside from [Giant God Heavy Industries], which he hadn't encountered before, [Taiyi Miracle], [Aio Logistics], and [Void Realm Communications] were all basically neutral. Only [Immortal Evolution] seemed to be causing trouble everywhere. After thinking for a while without coming to a conclusion, Li Ang stopped dwelling on the matter.

[Immortal Evolution] Those bio-engineering maniacs can do whatever they want, as long as they don't affect him.

After a brief chat, Martin stood up and walked out of the meeting room, saying, "I'll go inform my superiors first. You prepare the relevant materials, and we'll discuss this in detail at a later time."

Hearing his words, Li Ang was not surprised. After all, such a large army group could not be manipulated by a mere fourth-level professional.

Since the other party has already said so, it is obvious that the arrangements have been made. All that is needed now is for the Plant Alliance to come up with a supply plan that meets the requirements of the group army.

Thinking of this, Li Ang immediately ordered several heroic spirits skilled in negotiation to rush to the laboratory with the pre-prepared materials.

The negotiation process went smoothly, and Plant Union successfully secured a 10% share of beverage supply from the 9000 Group Army.

Don't think that ten points is a small amount. You should know that the 9000th Army Group is a behemoth that spans the entire Obsidian Starfield. Ten points is an enormous fortune for the Plant Alliance.

Of course, Martin's help was also indispensable in helping Plant Union secure this big order.

After observing the entire negotiation, Li Ang discovered that this androgynous quartermaster was not alone, but came from a family in the Obsidian Starfield.

Unfortunately, this family's influence within the army group was not strong, and Martin was more like a marginalized figure who had been abandoned.

This also explains why he dared to use the army group's official channel to extort money, but quickly backed down after the scheme was exposed, and is now willing to cooperate with Li Ang.

Two days later, at Morabis Star Harbor.

Standing before the mountain of local specialties, Martin gave the giant dragon one last instruction: "The first delivery will be in six months. The army group will send someone to receive the supplies then, so don't forget."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone keep an eye on things."

In response to his instructions, Li Ang waved his hand slightly, indicating that he would be careful.

With Morabis's current production capacity, it is more than capable of supplying ten percent of the market share.

The only potential problem with the yield of the Clear Fruit was resolved after Li Ang changed his job to [Star Shepherd].

After all, he could freely modify exotic plants like the Divine Tree, so plants like the Pure Cold Tree were naturally no problem for him.

Upon hearing this, Martin did not feel relieved, because for him, cooperating with Li Ang was already a huge gamble.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he couldn't help but say, "Secret Blood Company should already know about the ten-point reduction in your share. You'd better make some preparations."

"Although they've been embroiled in a dispute with another company recently, I imagine the executive officer stationed in this star cluster will still come to investigate."

"If it's possible to avoid conflict, it's best to avoid conflict altogether."

Having established a shared interest, Martin naturally didn't want anything unexpected to happen to Leon along the way.

Fortunately, he had already met Sophia and Elise in the past few days and had gained a new understanding of the relationship between the dragon in front of him and [AIO Logistics].

What he could see, the executives of Secret Blood Corporation could most likely see as well. Therefore, these vampires would most likely only use some rule-permitted means to force the Plant Alliance to give up its share.

Thinking of this, Martin didn't say anything more, but turned around, picked up the local specialties, and went into the starship.

Li Ang was unaware that he had been mistaken for a gigolo; he simply watched silently as the androgynous quartermaster piloted the starship away from Morabis.

After watching the starship disappear from sight, he raised his wrist and tapped a contact on his communication device.

【Christine】.

This vampire, who was made into a "pseudo-Servant," has been silent for several days. The last time she replied was when Li Ang reminded her that the Plant Alliance had obtained ten points of the share and that she should be careful to hide herself.

As the manager of the Secret Blood Corporation responsible for Morabis and several nearby star systems, Christine was clearly implicated.

Unless that executive is an idiot, he'll most likely be the first one to approach her.

Fortunately, through some unseen sense, Li Ang was able to confirm that Christine was still alive.

Although sometimes living can be more painful than dying.

However, he had prepared a backup plan in advance, so if anyone tried to unravel the secrets of the [Pseudo-Servants], they would be pleasantly surprised.

Thinking about the possible scenes that might occur at that time, Li Ang couldn't help but smile.

……

Under the pitch-black night sky, countless tall buildings stand on the earth like tombstones.

Christine hid in a pre-prepared safe house, her face filled with utter despair.

This once flamboyant vampire is now incredibly disheveled, dressed like a beggar.

Recalling the message she suddenly received a few days ago, she felt like crying: "Master, you should have told me sooner, so I could have run away earlier."

"Now that Caius has come knocking on my door, I can't run away even if I want to."

If I had to pick a complaint, there would definitely be one.

But she dared not harbor resentment; Christine had always been extremely cautious in this regard, and who knew if her master could sense her thoughts?

After sighing and lamenting for a while, the vampire began to think about how to escape from the planet he was currently on.

As a former manager of the Secret Blood Company, she naturally knew just how terrifying her former superior's strength truly was.

That's a fifth-level energy! Even if she split into ten, it wouldn't be enough for the opponent to defeat her.

Fortunately, she had prepared a hiding place in advance, and with her expertise in concealment, she managed to barely evade the enemy's search.

But waiting like this isn't a solution; the other party will eventually notice something amiss.

After all, for the fifth level, ordinary planets are not much different from glass spheres.

Just as Christine was racking her brains about what to do next, a voice that was devoid of emotion suddenly rang out behind her.

"Christine, I never realized you were so bold all these years ago."

The sudden voice startled the blonde vampire. A smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on her face as she stiffly turned around: "Lord Caicaius."

Looking at the indifferent, black-haired middle-aged man in front of her, Christine felt utterly hopeless.

At this moment, facing his defecting subordinate, the black-haired middle-aged man named 'Caius' couldn't help but sneer, then said seriously, "Take me to see the master who helped you break free from the blood pact."

"No! I've already died!"

Christine, who thought she was going to die, couldn't help but ramble on. But when she realized what the black-haired man meant, she looked completely bewildered.

".Eh?"
