Chapter 510: It's just a habitual method
"Aren't you tempted at all?"
Lux was silent on Angus's question.
If it was in front of outsiders, he would definitely open his mouth to find some superficial words to perfunctory, but in the face of Angus, an old friend who has known him for many years, there is no need for this, because the two know each other very well.
The various mysterious methods displayed by "Alien Gods" are not very attractive to Lukes, who likes to study novel technologies and has a very strong interest in mystery and the unknown.
As a special talent who has been studying knowledge and technology for many years, if he hadn't been able to rely on his own personal preferences to contact the kind of objects that might pose a threat to the Empire, Lux might have taken the initiative to ask for a deal with the 'Alien God'.
It's a pity, after all, it's still a matter of identity, unless Lux doesn't want to stay in the empire anymore, otherwise if a person of his status casually has an affair with a "foreign god", it is very likely to have a negative impact on himself.
For example, even if Lux himself does not have the idea of betraying the Empire by switching sides, it would be self-defeating to make the Empire's higher-ups mistakenly think that he had taken refuge in the Alien God.
Don't look at the fact that the empire has now recruited a lot of "alien contractors" for its own use, but in fact, Lukes knows that the empire's top brass has never completely trusted those "alien contractors", and has always maintained a certain vigilance towards them! The reason why they are recruited is just to expand human resources and hope to maintain domestic stability.
Even if Lukes's private meeting with Angus now falls into the eyes of his opponents, it could be a basis for his impeachment.
Lukes, who neither wanted to deny it senselessly nor did he want to admit it, naturally had no choice but silence at the moment.
Angus didn't force his old friend to express his position now, but continued: "If you are interested, you can come to me at any time." ”
Then he skipped the topic directly, and said with a smile: "Old ghost, although I feel that I am okay now, but since you are willing to make a move, it is better to verify it for the sake of insurance." When the results of the bloodline test come out, remember to notify me. ”
As Jiang Yan's sub-machine, Angus certainly wouldn't suspect that the "Dragonborn" bloodline implanted to him through the boss's ability would be harmful to him, but this kind of trust can't be said explicitly, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.
In addition, when Angus said this, he also had the intention of ending the meeting.
After all, this meeting between the two was private, and because Angus became a "Contractor of the Alien Gods", the position between the Empire and the "Alien Gods" is still unclear, and Angus, who is both the Marquis of the Empire and the "Contractor", has a somewhat sensitive status, and it is likely that there are high-level officials who have caught the clues and started to spy on Angus.
It wouldn't be a good thing for Lux to stay any longer.
"Of course, don't worry, old man. ”
Hearing Angus's implicit words of persuasion, Lux paused slightly, then looked deeply at the old friend, and then got up with a smile, straightened his humble camouflage clothes, and left through a secret door in the house, accompanied by two equally dressed guards.
After Lux had been away for a while, Angus closed his eyelids, linked his mind to the network of subcomputers in the shadows, and began to report to someone.
......
Imperial capital, Jiang Yan, who was staying in his villa, received a report from Angus, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curved.
"Is that so...... You're doing a good job. Looking at the old man's reaction, the rest is only a matter of time, just let it be. ”
[Yes.] 】
"How has the aftermath of the Black Thorn Chamber of Commerce industry left by the Gulund family been handled?"
[The six industries have already done a good job of personnel handover, and now the main person in charge and the management personnel in key positions have all been taken over by the network members on our side, with the wisdom brain and whistle machine to watch, there should be no chaos. 】
"Very good, sort out the information and send it to Zos later, after all, according to the agreement, it will be handed over to him in the future. Jiang Yan nodded, thought for a while, and said: "However, the others can be retained, one is to collect money, and the other is to buy slaves to expand the manpower, but there is no need to continue to keep the gladiatorial arena that is a pure waste of slave resources, I plan to transform it into a regular trading house that sells special goods, and the specific transformation work, you discuss it with Zos and them, and do it yourself!"
[My lord, may I ask you...... What exactly are we going to sell after the renovation?" Angus asked respectfully.
I don't know what Jiang Yan plans to do with the renovated commercial house, and it is not easy for them to come up with ideas to customize the transformation plan.
"Naturally, it's selling high-end products!" Jiang Yan curled the corners of his mouth: "Anyway, it's a specialty that other businessmen won't have and that belongs to us, so don't worry about not being competitive." ”
[uh...... However, my lord, the empire has relevant business regulations, and if we plan to do private formal business, we must first go to the special commercial department to file a case and obtain a business license before we can open a business!] Angus said with some embarrassment: [If you want to obtain a business license, the specific content you want to operate must be reported. 】
"Okay. Hearing this, Jiang Yan nodded: "Then you should first apply for a 'elf' sales license, including adult elves and unborn elf eggs, the varieties are first set as phantom beasts, and the grades range from mortal to soldier-level elf eggs." ”
[Is this distinctive?] Angus asked, a little confused.
Selling elves, the same industry in this area is more than double-digit merchants in the imperial capital alone, and there seems to be nothing peculiar about this one proposed by Jiang Yan.
"Absolutely. Jiang Yan smiled: "Selling ordinary elves is naturally not distinctive, but what if you add a name to the elves that are sold, 'guarantee that customers will be 100% successful'?"
Angus was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood: [You mean that you want to sell our daughter elf?!]
"That's right. The number of elves under my command is already enough, and now they are not needed to fight for the time being, and because the number of humans who can become elven envoys is now seriously lagging behind the elven group, they are completely idle on weekdays! Rather than letting them waste their energy by eating dry food in vain, it is better to make effective use of this spare resource. Jiang Yan smiled and asked rhetorically: "In this way, it is enough to become a unique and competitive characteristic commodity, right?"
[Completely sufficient!] As long as you authorize it, with the obedience of the handset, it is completely feasible to make the sold elves achieve the sign of 'guaranteeing 100% success to the customer'!' Angus replied approvingly.
Ordinary people buy elves, if they plan to enter into an 'elf contract' with them to collect combat power, in fact, there is still a certain risk.
If it's an elf egg, it's okay, as long as the buyer doesn't behave too badly in the face of the kind of juvenile elves born from the egg, he can basically get a high degree of closeness and loyalty from those newborn elves, and it will basically not be difficult to make a contract or something.
This is the same as the fact that more intelligent animals are born with the instinctive idea of taking the first creature they see as their parents, thus giving them a sense of kinship at first.
But this approach will also have its own drawbacks - because the elves are all newly born from eggs, the time period and resource consumption required to cultivate reliable combat power will not be a decimal.
On the other hand, if you don't look at the future and think directly from the perspective of current combat power, the adult elves who have grown up will be much more reliable, but because the hearts of these adult elves have also matured, they will not be so easy to surrender to the customers who buy it.
Is it better to choose a young elf that is easier to subdue but lacks combat power, or better to choose an adult elf who already has strong combat power but is more difficult to subdue? This is a somewhat contradictory question.
But now, the elves of the sub-machine that Jiang Yan plans to sell in the trading house can ignore this contradiction.
As Jiang Yan's sub-machines, of course, they are absolutely obedient to Jiang Yan, so as long as they have Jiang Yan's secret authorization, even if these sub-machine elves are mature adults, they will obediently follow Jiang Yan's will to temporarily let go of their arrogance, even if the customer is a powerless waste with no future, they are willing to directly accept their contract and be temporarily served.
Well, that's right – it's actually 'temporary'!
Jiang Yan had already tried, and the command and loyalty brought by the superior authority between him and his own submachine took precedence over the contract between the elf and the envoy, even if the other party did not enter into a symbiotic contract, but a highly restrictive slavery contract!
That is to say, even if Jiang Yan's sub-machine elves have a contract with others, the highest priority of these sub-machine elves is still him, and when the time comes, as long as Jiang Yan is willing, he can make these sub-machine elves rebel against their contract owners without hesitation!
What's even better is that Jiang Yan's sub-machine contract "Network Protocol" is different from the normal contract power, which is essentially an immaterial force involving 'individual permissions', although the mysterious sub-machine code will be fused at the time of initial transformation, but then the code will be completely integrated into the soul of the other party without distinguishing between each other. And from the perspective of outsiders, except for the addition of an additional sub-machine identity, their souls will not change in any way.
It is not the first time that Jiang Yan's sub-machine has been subjected to the prying eyes of outsiders, and things like being searched for souls have naturally happened. The facts that have been practiced have proved that even if a domain-level powerhouse whose cultivation is stronger than Jiang Yan and has reached the fourth-level realm personally makes a move, he will not be able to detect the abnormality of the sub-machine created by Jiang Yan's ability.
In other words, the possibility that the hidden dangers in these child elves will be discovered by outsiders is almost zero, and there is almost no risk of exposure.
Since it will not be discovered, then there is naturally no need to question it when it is sold. In this way, not only can you find something to do for those idle elves, but you can also collect wealth resources through this kind of trading.
In addition, these sub-machine elves can be used as hidden nails to penetrate into other forces and spread!
With the gimmick of 'even an adult elf can make customers 100% successful in the contract', Jiang Yan's child elf is naturally not worried about sales, although the selling price will definitely be more expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, but those rich and noble people must be enough to afford it. And as long as you become the contract elves of these rich and noble people, then it is equivalent to planting a hidden eyeliner + remote control bomb on them.
In terms of benefits, not to mention anything else, in the past, Jiang Yan's sub-machine network was difficult to enter some of the secret places with special protection, as long as someone who bought his sub-machine elf entered, then it would be equivalent to Jiang Yan's sub-machine network also infiltrated it.
At that time, whether you want to collect information or do something, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.
[My lord is wise!] Angus, who understood Jiang Yan's thoughts, did not hesitate to send a compliment.
"Well, it's just some of the methods that I've been used to for a long time. For the time being, the main policy has been decided, and you can implement it as soon as possible. Jiang Yan waved his hand indifferently.
[Follow Your Will!]
After hanging up the network communication with Angus, Jiang Yan pondered for a while.
'Are you used to using the means...... Thinking about the initial period when the ability first woke up, I really miss it a little. ’
Thinking of this, thinking of an important pillar that he was able to stand on the Canglan Domain to establish the Red Jade Tower, Jiang Yan's eyes flickered, and he called softly.
"Brain. ”
"Command. 』
"Collect information on the bee and insect elves in this world for me, and according to the information I sent you later, select some that meet the requirements and send them to me, preferably with a "queen bee". If you don't have this kind of elf, you can find some excellent breeds of mortal bee insects. ”
"Yes, the order has been executed. 』
......
......
Finn Panison, I'm very excited today.
After being fortunate enough to meet Dr. Lukes, the top director of the institute, he took the opportunity to submit his research topic, and although there were some twists and turns, he still got a response from the other party.
Fortunately, Dr. Lux did not reject his research on the spot, but said that he would have to think twice before giving a definite answer, although this does not mean that he will be recognized, but based on Finn's experience, as long as the other party does not reject it on the spot, then at least he has a good chance of being recognized and getting follow-up support for his research.
After that day, several more days had passed, and Finn had not received a reply from Lux, and he had already begun to feel a little apprehensive.
But early this morning, he received a notice from his hair that surprised and excited him.
- Dr. Lukes approved of his research topic, and intended to have a competent technician lead him to assemble a dedicated team to work on the project.
Although it was not led by Dr. Lux himself, Finn was not too disappointed, because according to some information he had subsequently investigated, this soon-to-be "technician" was still Dr. Lux's right-hand man.
This basically means that the other party is the team leader, and it is not much worse than Dr. Lux leading it himself.
The thought of the support he had received for his research project made Finn Panison want to cheer with excitement.
As long as the research is successful, even if he is not the top person in charge of the project, as the initiator of the original research project, his merits are unquestionable, and it is enough capital for him to be promoted to "technician".
'I'm looking forward to it, which technician is it?' Finn followed the notice and went to a conference room with hope for the future.
And then soon, his original good mood was all gone. I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
