They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 267 Driving the Interstellar Peace Corporation to the Sky
After Jade confirmed the offer from Interstellar Peace Company, Dan Lei had to admit that Interstellar Peace Company was really going all out to poach him.

The selection of the three department heads—the Building Materials Logistics Department, the Technology R&D Department, and the Traditional Projects Department—shows great sincerity.

Of the six departments of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, none are insignificant; the head of each department is a figure of immense power.

Moreover, Interstellar Peace Corporation also granted him the title of P-48 level board member.

It's important to know that Oswaldo went to great lengths to expand the company's market, resorting to all sorts of underhanded tactics, all in order to be promoted from a candidate for board member to a full board member.

As a result, Dan Lei could be directly appointed as a board member simply by agreeing to switch jobs.

Of course, this is an affirmation of Dan Lei's own abilities, resources, technology, and connections.

But such a meteoric rise in status is quite exaggerated. Even Dan Lei himself wanted to ask, "Aren't you afraid of losing money by offering such a high price, Interstellar Peace Company?"

Unfortunately, the company only cares about profits and not personal relationships. They cherish me now because I can provide enough profit, but if I can no longer provide profit in the future, they will turn their backs on me faster than anyone else.

Board members? If a meeting can appoint a board member, then another meeting can remove a board member.

Dan Lei stated that if he were to actually join the Interstellar Peace Company, he would need to marry a director to gain access to their network of contacts.

Otherwise, the only way is to become stronger, so strong that the company has to treat you like a guardian angel in order to achieve stability.

Moreover, Dan Lei firmly believes that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

My own journey has actually proven this point.

The Holy Grail was earned through sheer hard work and risking her life. Without such dedication and disregard for life and death, she would never have been able to break free from the source and be picked up by [Mutual] in the Star Iron Universe, let alone have the opportunity to grow to where she is today.

He had risked having his account canceled by risking his own life, and had walked a tightrope by knowing his personalities well.

If Dan Lei had simply let it go after being tricked by Polkaka, and had just kept quiet, Black Tower and Ruan Mei would most likely not have done anything to him.

It would be awkward if we met again in the future, so let's not meet.

Avalon was the ultimate reward for truly fighting a divine war.

Furthermore, in order for the Star Train to come to Avalon, do you think Danlei ever faced the Star God directly?

Does the King of Amber really think there's no risk involved when he strikes with that hammer?

So, when Interstellar Peace Corporation throws such a huge, substantial pie at me, filled with meat filling, I really don't dare to eat it.

Not only were they afraid it was poisonous, but they were also afraid they would eat themselves to death.

So Danlei decisively shook his head, and said with a smile to Oswaldo and the emerald on the phone.
Believe me, I was really tempted for a second.

Unfortunately, all I can do is thank you for thinking so highly of me.

"The Immortal Boat Alliance holds too many things I can't let go of and can't take with me, so I won't leave."

Anyone with eyes can tell that Danlei's words are just an excuse. What do you mean by something you can't let go of and can't take with you? Dare to be clear about it?

However, some things can't be communicated once they're explained clearly.

Therefore, neither Oswaldo nor Emerald asked what exactly it was.

But Oswaldo didn't give up; he said with a smile...
"It's alright, Mr. Danlei. You're still young. The only people you mainly communicate with at the company are those two immature individuals in the strategic investment department who are both money-minded and want to maintain some conscience, but end up pleasing neither side."

So it's normal for you to have concerns about the company.

However, if you communicate more with other people in the company, you will find that communicating with us is actually very simple and pleasant.

It's incredibly easy to bring benefits to yourself.

After Oswaldo finished speaking, he specifically explained to Emerald, who was still on the phone and could hear the audio from the scene, a sentence...

“Ms. Emerald, I wasn’t talking about you.”

I still admire your method of slowly ensnaring people, draining them of all value—reputation, body, and finally soul.

Oswaldo's words were a veiled insult to all three of Danlei's close friends: Emerald, Sand Gold, and Topa.

Alluvial gold and topaz were directly rated as immature.

Jade is an extremely dangerous femme fatale.

Having said that, Jade could no longer remain silent; this was clearly an attempt to maliciously damage its reputation.

Although Jade knew very well that Danlei had never let his guard down and had not yet revealed any weakness that could trap her.

But some things cannot be admitted.

So Jade spoke in a voice that was cold enough to be felt even through the phone.
"Minister Schneider, please be careful with your words. I am simply better at seeing the values ​​that people often overlook, not some kind of ruthless monster."

Furthermore, none of my transactions were conducted under duress caused by my own subjective intent. Your statement just now is an attempt to compensate me for damage to my reputation.

My reputation is priceless; Minister Schneider probably can't afford to pay for it.

Oswaldo knew that Emerald was a woman not to be trifled with. Although he was not someone who couldn't afford to offend her, there was really no need to provoke her unless there was an absolute conflict of interest.

Therefore, Oswaldo decisively changed the subject.
"Ms. Jade, please believe me, I am praising you."

However, the main topic of this meeting was still the cooperation with Mr. Danlei.

Mr. Danlei, although you have temporarily declined the company's invitation, you surely won't refuse cooperation, right?

Dan Lei nodded in response to this question.
"Of course, Mr. Oswaldo must have carefully read the details of this competition."

As the prop shop provided by the organizer, in addition to selling virtual currency for creating memory spirits, a total of three physical currencies can be used.

The three main components are: local gold coins, patrol boats, and credit points.

There are some things I can tell you directly.

In the future, the only currencies used on this planet will be patrols and credits.

Furthermore, when exchanging gold coins for two currencies later, I will only exchange for gold coins held by locals.

Therefore, the gold coins you have now will become invalid and can only be used as souvenirs. I do not recommend that you collect them in large quantities.

However, since Avalon will be joining both the Immortal Ship Alliance's patrol system and the Interstellar Peace Company's credit point system, it naturally won't refuse to trade with the Interstellar Peace Company.

Dan Lei's decision to include Avalon in both the patrol system and the credit point system was actually intended to counterbalance the credit point system.

If a credit point system were used alone, Dan Lei feared that with his financial acumen, the planet's financial order would be completely controlled by the Interstellar Peace Corporation within a few years.

The Immortal Boat Alliance's patrol system, as a local system, has coexisted with the credit point system for thousands of years, so it's not so easy for the Interstellar Peace Company to find a loophole.

Moreover, with the patrol system in place, the Immortal Ship Alliance will naturally send professional financial managers to Avalon Star to oversee things, so Dan Lei can go out and have fun without worry.

Seeing that Danlei was willing to join the credit point system, Oswaldo naturally wouldn't comment on the patrol system. This planet still belonged to the Immortal Boat Alliance, so it was normal for them to use the Immortal Boat Alliance's official currency system.

So, Oswaldo asked with a smile
"Then what I mentioned before about establishing a market development branch of the Interstellar Peace Company should be fine, right?"

This time, Dan Lei didn't refuse, but smiled and said
"Alright, considering how much Mr. Oswaldo thinks of me and even helped me apply for a board seat, I will create an island beast as big as Abant Heim as the base for the Interstellar Peace Corporation."

In this way, you will be able to control the island beasts to move around the planet.

Furthermore, you can build any structures on the island beast, as long as you don't exceed its weight capacity.

Of course, if we take Abant Heim as the standard, as long as you don't build dozens of buildings as big as our castle on it, there won't be any problems.

As for the island beast rental fee, how about 100 million credits per month? I'm practically giving it away for free.

Danlei suggested to Morgan that she use her powers to create island beasts for the Interstellar Peace Company as a base.

Danlei originally planned to charge Star Peace Company an exorbitant price for its main city site in order to limit its development.

Danlei had always been worried that the Interstellar Peace Company would maliciously purchase land and shrink the living areas of the native inhabitants during the planet's development.

Then they resorted to letting some people get rich, then stirring up conflicts between the rich and poor, and finally creating disputes.

While intelligent life on Avalon cannot be harmed, that doesn't mean it won't die from various accidents.

If intelligent life were to actually venture into those naturally formed miasma-filled areas, it would still die.

For example, viruses and memes maliciously released by humans will not work.

For example, Dr. Primal's degenerate meme, released onto Avalon, constitutes an act that harms intelligent life.

Regardless of whether the releaser's intention is malicious or benevolent, it will be rendered ineffective due to the suppression of the rules.

However, if someone unknowingly brings in a mosquito carrying an infectious virus, which then merges and mutates with the local virus, causing an epidemic, people will still die.

Of course, once Morgan confirms the virus, he can use the secondary privileges granted by Danley to remove it with one click, but the dead cannot be brought back to life.

Danlei knew about this loophole, but deliberately did not fix it.

If the planet is designed so that no microorganisms or viruses can harm the body, then the humans on Avalon will become glass people in a few thousand years.

The immune system will most likely degenerate, and once they leave the planet, they're guaranteed to die faster than anyone else.

It's important to understand that Danlei couldn't possibly say that the people on the planet would never leave it again.

For example, the path for immigrants to other immortal ships certainly cannot be blocked.

The Immortal Ship Alliance will definitely try to migrate some of the long-lived species, such as the Forest Elf, to other Immortal Ships, as these species fit their aesthetic preferences.

The Vidyadharas will definitely try to persuade some dragons to go to other Vidyadhara settlements to put on a show.

Therefore, the short-lived human species here should not be treated too differently.

Moreover, the difficulty of the so-called special assessment is not up to Dan Lei to decide.

Clearly, Danlei will learn from the example of the Immortal Boat Alliance and conduct assessments of varying difficulty depending on the circumstances of leaving the planet.

Immigration and studying will be very easy.

However, for something like the training permit in Dan Lei's hand, one needs to reach the advanced level of Destiny Walker solely through the power of Destiny Path, and also take a lot of cultural exams to ensure that one won't be easily deceived after going out.

Therefore, Morgan used four advantages to persuade Dan Lei to allow Interstellar Peace Corporation to build its headquarters on the island beast.

Firstly, since the Interstellar Peace Company has established its branch on Beast Island, outsiders will definitely have to go to the island's beasts first before going anywhere else, giving Dan Lei and Morgan more time to react.

After all, the entry checks on Star Peace Corporation's business personnel are certainly not as strict as those on ordinary tourists, and any problems are most likely to arise from their presence.

However, this was unavoidable; the Immortal Boat Alliance did the same. (During the Martial Arts Ceremony, the cargo container transported by Scott was initially only scanned and not opened for inspection.)
Secondly, if Interstellar Peace Corporation really wants to court disaster, Dan Lei and Morgan can directly control the island beasts to run to a designated location, and then they can directly airdrop Interstellar Peace Corporation's employees on Avalon into prison.

Moreover, Morgan's authority came from Dan Lei. Although her authority was incomplete, it was not difficult for her to indirectly kill someone using that authority.

Thirdly, it can limit the territory of the Interstellar Peace Company to the island beasts. At most, they can open some business outlets on the ground. If there are too many buildings and not enough land, they can simply give them another island beast. This way, they will not be able to occupy large areas of the native land.

Fourth, Danlei can offer an almost free low price for the island beasts, while setting the price of the land above the market price, and there should be a complicated approval process.

This would force them to build their headquarters on the island beast.

Dan Lei's move was a completely open scheme. Oswaldo knew the size and carrying capacity of Abant Heim. For such a large island beast to only cost 100 million credits per month was practically a freebie.

Given these land conditions, it's impossible to say that Danlei lacked sincerity.

However, Oswaldo still wanted a ground base, because a ground base could create a spectacle to attract public attention and accelerate the gain of credit points in the minds of local residents.

However, when Oswaldo asked about the price of the land, it was alright. Although it was much more expensive than the island beast, it was about the same price as Luofu's. Danlei was obviously copying Luofu.

But Danlei's next words made Oswaldo realize that he definitely couldn't build the headquarters on the ground from the start.

Because Dan Lei said with a wicked smile at this moment
"Mr. Oswaldo, there is something I must remind you in advance."

I need to report to the Alliance when purchasing land on a planet.

This isn't me deliberately making things difficult for you; the Immortal Ship Alliance hasn't granted this planet the same status as other Immortal Ships.

In other words, although I am in charge of the planet, I cannot buy and sell the planet's land use rights without consulting the higher-ups.

"But don't worry, it's just a matter of submitting a report. I'll urge the higher-ups to speed up the approval process."

Dan Lei's words were practically a direct statement: by the time the Immortal Ship Alliance approves it, a century may have already passed here.

Because time flows faster on Avalon than in the areas within the walls, Oswaldo had witnessed the speed of the Immortal Ship Alliance's approval process.

For something like this, an approval period of a year would be considered fast. By then, the credit point distribution on Avalon will be a century behind that of the patrol team. What's the point of even trying?

You know, time is money, so Oswaldo said without hesitation.

"I see. Then I'll rent the island beast."

When can Mr. Danlei provide this island beast?

To this question, Dan Lei simply laughed.

"It'll be ready in the next second, do you want it now?"

Upon hearing this, Oswaldo grinned broadly, revealing his teeth, and said...

"I need to get there now. I need to secure the best spot before some of my old rivals arrive."
