Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 227 226. If it doesn't work, it's okay to call the boss out (rd update)

The argument over there had turned from percentages to decimal points, and Feldrich wasn't even as panicked as he was when he was caught in the raid, and he even seemed to have the upper hand.

Even if this share is her "redemption" price, she doesn't care at all. For the people in the company, the share and output of the giant anomaly are more important than life.

Seifer watched for a moment, then continued to contact Leica: "After today's negotiations, I'll get the money and then I'll be on my way."

"Is that so? By the way, there are actually some node cities on the way here. I can recommend you the specialties of those areas. If you want to bring some goods, it would be nice to make a small profit."

For some reason, Leica was in a particularly good mood today - probably because the exams were over and she got good grades.

Although Dr. Mei seems to be doing nothing in the car, her teaching skills are indeed impressive, and she can handle even crash courses with ease.

"If you're not in a rush, you can go back to the Forge Node City to restock."

"If you're lucky enough, you can even buy some things that are in short supply in other node cities. It takes a long time to get to our place anyway."

Seifer calculated that it would take about ten days to travel day and night. If he stopped at other node cities to rest, it would take a few more days.

If you look at the map, you will see that you are walking from the easternmost edge node city, along a winding road, bypassing the huge canyon rift caused by the earthquake.

Traveling from east to west, there were even two or three days where you couldn't find a safe haven, and pirates often appeared... But the further west you went, the closer you got to the central node city.

Products and various resources are becoming more and more abundant. She said that by then, Sefer will be able to notice that although the sunlight during the day is lethal to anything moving on the ground, the people here are not that fragile!

It sounded very tempting. After a moment's thought, Seifer said that if he had time, he would definitely choose to go for a run, but if he didn't have time, he would just set off directly.

"By the way, based on your route, if you're lucky, you might run into that celebrity in one of the next few node cities."

Laika suddenly emphasized, "If they encounter such a situation, her company might commission independent mercenaries to join the temporary escort team."

Seifer suddenly became interested. "Is it the star who's been called the Desert Flower? Her tour has already stopped by here for a charity show, and she's planning to donate to her?"

"Yes, independent mercenaries are very mobile. Some of them only escort for a certain distance and then leave after getting paid. So there are never enough escorts."

"Plus, the company that primarily promotes art and commerce isn't willing to spend too much money... It's too complicated to elaborate. Red Crossbow Arrows, to put it simply, is more cost-effective for independent mercenaries."

It's really just a useful brick to move. Anyone can pick it up and swing it at others, right?

Sefer smiled and watched the two negotiators start to use their communication tools. At the same time, the negotiation specialists from the other two companies also entered the venue.

The atmosphere suddenly became less relaxed, and many people even looked at the mercenary who was the only one who didn't fit in and seemed to have not received much education.

——This is a meeting place, what are you doing here as a mercenary?

Having finally decided to suspend the regulations, Feldrich snorted unhappily, the dissatisfaction in his tone almost overflowing.

Every additional 0.1 percentage means a huge amount of resources are lost.

Before the four parties gathered and started the meeting, a light suddenly appeared in the middle of the conference table. Passive 3D projection showed the logos of several companies slowly rotating in the middle, indicating that the participants were from these companies.

"Well, let's skip the polite words. Under the witness of... the independent mercenary support system, we will complete the division of the output of the giant anomaly here..."

The reformation agency's personnel spoke first. Seifer raised an eyebrow and looked at the 'Independent Mercenary Support System' logo floating at the top. It looked familiar. He felt like he'd seen it somewhere before, but upon closer inspection, he couldn't quite place it.

The meeting over there started, and Sefer was deep in thought.

The company logo disappeared from the meeting room, and then the shape of the node city immediately emerged. Above it was a huge underground city structure, and the lower-level ground city built deep in the vacant area. Every time he saw it, Cypher was shocked.

How did they manage to build a city of this size? Aren't the rules of building structure and so on universal in this world?
Several colors began to interweave and penetrate each other, and above the three-dimensional model there was a calculated actual control ratio, etc. After so many days of attack, to be honest, the mercenaries were actually tired.

So in the end, that is, on this day, the attackers were basically slacking off, and some people didn't even want to take the mission at all, and just spent time in the tavern outside with the dancers, waiters and technical staff.

Seifer took a look and saw that Abian, which had made arrangements in advance, had seized 45.5% of the control. This number was so astonishing that it even made the other two companies feel a little depressed.

The transformation agency obtained 31.4% of the control rights, of which Huanwu Group obtained a full 15%, while I/O Enterprise only obtained the last part due to its late entry and lack of information.

There is no longer any area in the entire Node City that is controlled by autonomous machines... It's sad.

This is the final outcome of an autonomous machine without a master controller. No one can defeat it and it can only be constantly eroded.

Then again, when they were discussing, they seemed to have talked about everything except the large void in the lower-level node city. Could it be that they were planning to give up on the underground area?

This is not a good idea, Sefer thinks, because he still has to get his body back, otherwise it would be a big loss to lose a spare body forever.

And that box, if I don’t take it out, I’ll feel uncomfortable because my curiosity won’t be satisfied.

But everyone here is a powerful person, so Sefer's question cannot be answered.

How about asking Frederick? Anyway, I've already answered whatever she asked before. I might as well ask her more while she's still in this state. There's no chance of getting the chance again after this opportunity.

As he was about to take action, Seifer's personal communication suddenly lit up, and then a signal that could not be refused came in.

Papaya: Hi, did you miss me?
Seifer paused, looked left and right, and when he found no one was around, he lowered his head and replied.

Red Crossbow: Who are you?

Papaya: Here’s my trick, watch carefully, I’m going to perform a magic trick on you, all right, quickly shift your eyes from your video device to the negotiation seat, don’t blink!

Red Crossbow: I’m not interested. I don’t want to know. What are you planning to do?
Papaya: Of course, it’s to laugh at you, a coward like you, in public. Are you looking forward to it? Are you excited?

Red Crossbow: Not really.

During the exchange, the person in charge of Huanwu Group saw that the negotiations were at a stalemate and that many key technology and resource exchanges could not be coordinated, so he suddenly raised his hand slightly to signal.

"Since none of us could reach a consensus on behalf of our respective companies, we decided to ask the CEO to conduct the negotiations."

The other two companies expressed no objection, and even unanimously... said they could accept it, after all, they really couldn't make the decision.

Only Feldrich had sweat on his forehead - did he come here just to get away from that guy's eyes and ears for a while, and call him out to watch him get humiliated?
