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

Chapter 419 Scott Gets Scammed
Yanqing made a solemn promise, but Danlei could only shake his head helplessly, and then asked...
"Yanqing, I don't mean to discourage you, but let me ask you first, from which angle do you plan to investigate these Bu Li people?"

When Dan Lei asked this question, Yan Qing, who had absolutely no clue as to why Bu Liren had appeared in Luofu, was taken aback.

Fortunately, Jing Yuan's years of teaching Yan Qing had not been in vain; he quickly realized what was happening and pointed to the Yunqi who had come with "Lord Lu," replying...
"I will start by investigating this person who is away from home."

Dan Lei had already warned that Bu Liren smelled bad.

The "Yunqi" that came with "Lu Jun" were very close to the group, and Yan Qing could smell the stench if he took a good sniff.

This person in front of him was also stunned by Dan Lei's sudden appearance; even after "Lu Jun" was knocked down, he didn't run away.

Now that Yanqing has pointed out his problem, this man's first reaction is to take a hostage first.

However, the people closest to him were the three little ones from the Starry Sky Train.

Dan Heng is male, and tall and strong; he looks like someone you shouldn't mess with.

After the incident, March 7th instinctively stood behind Xing and Danheng in the front row.

So this person directly grabbed at Xing, who looked a bit wooden.

It can only be said that this creature's eyesight is really not good. Its chances of survival are higher if it jumps directly off the side railing than if it grabs someone in front of Dan Lei, let alone grabbing a Star Core Essence with Dan Heng nearby.

The outcome for Bu Liren was obvious; before his hand even touched Xing, a baseball bat and a spear were thrust directly into his body.

The next second, a corpse of a Bu Liren appeared on the ground, its head half-shriveled and a transparent hole in its body.

At this moment, seeing the miserable state of their companions, the other Bu Li people all silently scattered and left the area, and the real Yunqi Army arrived late.

Fortunately, Dan Lei's magic to minimize his presence was always on; otherwise, if the Cloud Riders had come over and found out that Dan Lei had been attacked, things would have definitely escalated.

Yanqing watched helplessly as the interrogation target she had just chosen instantly turned into a corpse.

However, it was normal for Xing and Danheng to take the initiative to fight back against the attack, so he couldn't complain.

Moreover, Yanqing recognized the newly arrived Yunqi, so he ordered them to quickly clean up the scene and take the frozen Buliren and the one kicked away by Yunli to the Ten Kings Division for treatment. Of the four Buliren on the scene, only these two were still alive. If they died, Yanqing would have a headache about where to find clues.

After the Yunqi cleared away all the people who had left the ground, Yanqing saw Danlei looking at him with a playful expression, and immediately scratched the back of his head in a headache.

Danlei clearly wanted to test his abilities, and Yanqing said that she couldn't lose face either in terms of morality or reason.

Fortunately, a minor dispute not far away saved Yanqing.

There, a female employee of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, dressed in armor, was arguing with a Cloud Rider.

The female employee said, "Friends from Xianzhou, we are very grateful that you saved us."

But isn't it a bit unreasonable to seize our goods as well?

Yunqi: "We have received orders to temporarily seize your goods for inspection until the cause and effect of the attack are determined."

Once all necessary procedures and inspections are completed, we will release both the people and the goods.

The female employee said, "This batch of goods is not destined for Luofu at all. It's the company's patented technology. What right do you have to inspect it?"

"We didn't actually enter the port! We were attacked by the Buli people and had no choice but to seek refuge at Luofu's port!"

According to Yunqi, "According to the procedure, any goods arriving in Luofu must be inspected."

……

This is a typical conflict between company rules and local regulations. Employees of Interstellar Peace Company naturally follow company rules, while Cloud Riders follow Luofu's regulations.

Neither side is strictly wrong, so they usually can't reach a conclusion by arguing, and the opinion of the stronger party will prevail.

In Luofu, the Yunqi were clearly in a stronger position, and the female employee was simply doing her best.

However, their conversation clearly reminded Yanqing. He clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm, a flash of inspiration striking him. Then, he excitedly said...

"Yes, and there's also the Interstellar Peace Company connection. Why would Bu Liren, who infiltrated Luofu, attack the company's cargo ships? We should investigate that."

Seeing that Yanqing had realized what was happening, Danlei took the initiative to speak to the three young members of the train crew.
"Xing, Sanyue, Danheng, let's go."

"Your first act of this live-action drama in Luofu is here! The great detective Yan Qing has arrived. Let's follow in his footsteps and uncover the truth!"

Xing and Sanyueqi both liked to join in the fun, while Danheng was somewhat concerned about Buliren's appearance in Luofu, so the three of them did not object and followed Yanqing directly.

Yanqing used his jade tablet to access the Yunqi internal network and found out where the cargo on the company's cargo ship was. So the five of them went straight to the rebuilt Gongzao Division.

Sure enough, just as Dan Lei disembarked from the star raft, he heard a familiar but sharp and sarcastic voice roar.

"Do you people from the Immortal Ship have any sense of reason?"

In your own words, what you're doing now is called taking advantage of someone's misfortune, am I right?

Then, Xi Kui, the secretary of the Sky Ship Company, spoke with a helpless voice.

"Mr. Scott, I'm trying to reason with you right now!"

Yes, just like in the game, the players' favorite "electronic pet," Scott, the ventriloquist from the Star Peace Corporation, a truly despicable and incredibly realistic villain, makes his return.

As the group approached, Scott's sarcastic voice rang out again.

"It's not like I haven't dealt with your Tianbo Company before; I'm used to your difficult and demanding ways of doing things."

But now you're openly robbing the company's goods, isn't that a bit too much?

Sora, an inspector from the Construction Division standing next to Yuuki, was utterly speechless upon hearing Scott's words, and said listlessly.
"We've said it so many times, as long as the security check is completed, we'll let it through. Are you deaf or just not thinking straight?"

Scott has always been the type to make a scene even when things are rude, and from his perspective, he was in the right in this incident.

The Fairy Boat Alliance and Interstellar Peace Company have signed the "Trade and Security Cooperation Framework Agreement on Mutual Assistance, Emergency Response and Trade Promotion".

The relevant clauses on emergency avoidance stipulate that if a company vessel is attacked near the Fairy Boat Alliance, the attacked vessel can make an emergency stop at the Alliance's airport.

Normally, in such an emergency stop, the Fairy Boat Alliance has no right to request the company to provide detailed data and information or to conduct an inspection.

However, as anyone who has played the game knows, Scott was tricked. The batch of goods he was in charge of had problems, the kind of problems that the Immortal Boat Alliance could easily detect with a simple scan.

However, Scott was a rule-abiding man. Although he didn't know the truth about the goods in the container, he was absolutely determined to argue his case.

“I heard it very clearly, and I understand it very well! To put it bluntly: it's hopeless!”

If you continue to withhold my goods, I will file a lawsuit directly with your general!

Because of a personal grudge with Scott, seeing his arrogance, Xingjian blurted out, "Huh, why do I hear a dog barking?"

Scott was a very self-aware man; he immediately put himself in the shoes of the person in question and turned to roar fiercely.
"You bastard, who are you calling a dog?"

Then he saw Xing's face, a face he couldn't forget all night, and instantly gritted his teeth and said...

"It's you again? Are you just going to stay on the Immortal Ship and refuse to leave? It's like one misfortune after another. Running into you never ends well."

Seeing that the three train crew members and Yan Qing had arrived (Dan Lei's presence continued to disappear), Xi Kui asked curiously.

"Aren't these guests from the Starry Sky Train? Why are they at the Construction Bureau with Yanqing?"

Hoshino and Yuuki had interacted quite a bit in Jinren Alley before, so she naturally answered with a smile.

"We heard that the company's cargo ship was attacked by the Buli people, and we want to investigate why the Buli people attacked the cargo ship."

I heard that the company's goods were seized here, so I came to take a look.

"So, Miss Yuuki, have you run into trouble?"

Upon hearing Xing's comment, Scott immediately objected, jumping out and patting his chest as he chimed in.

"Did I hear that right? They've run into some trouble?"
"It's me! I'm in trouble!"

Seeing that Scott's face was full of resentment, Yanqing didn't jump to conclusions but instead asked...
"Sister Xi Kui, this company employee seems to be very dissatisfied. What exactly is going on?"

When Xi Kui saw Yan Qing asking her questions, she could only briefly explain the current situation.

While introducing Scott, it was explained that the Sky Ship Company discovered that the cargo on the company's cargo ship was suspected to be dangerous and prohibited weapons, which is why it was brought to the Engineering and Construction Department for inspection.

However, Scott was not swayed by this at all. Seeing that Yanqing might be a minor officer with some power, he did not look down on him because of Yanqing's excessively youthful appearance.

After all, it's not surprising at all that a woman several hundred years old would appear in Luofu.

After Yuuki finished speaking, Scott repeated in an exaggerated tone...
"I'm just wondering, even if it's a dangerous weapon, what's it to you? It's not like we're transporting it to Luofu. We'll leave as soon as we fix the ship; we won't unload here."

I'm not afraid to tell you that this transport ship, the New Lentinion, is heading to the border battlefield of the Klimt Constitutional Republic.

"You're bringing weapons destined for the battlefield directly to the Manufacturing Division, and you even hired a shifty-eyed craftsman. Isn't that obviously an attempt to steal the company's patented technology?"

Kong Qing could not accept Scott's accusation of stealing patents and immediately retorted.

"My guest who has come from afar, let me repeat myself. I only conducted a preliminary scan through the box and discovered that it contained not only mechanical structures but also features resembling biological tissue. This is a serious problem."

After Kong Qing finished speaking, Xi Kui immediately explained the rules to Xing and the other two who were unfamiliar with the Alliance.
"The alliance has very strict regulations on the management of biological products."

Without further inspection, the Imperial Shipyard would never allow it to pass.

After Xi Kui finished speaking, Yan Qing clearly understood.

Seeing things were going badly, Scott immediately blocked the container and shouted righteously.

"Fine, whoever tries to touch this shipment, I, Scott, will fight them to the death! Whether what we're transporting is biological or mechanical, it's none of your business! I'm going to file a complaint against the Sky Ship Company's handling of this matter!"

Seeing Scott's state, Xi Kui and Yan Qing were both very troubled. They really didn't want to have too much of a falling out with the Interstellar Peace Company, but with the martial arts ceremony imminent, the risks that were on the surface could not be ignored.

So Danlei felt he had watched enough of the show and decided to stop letting the stars debate; it was time for him to take action himself.

Dan Lei then dispelled the magic that had made him less noticeable, walked up to Scott, and gently patted him on the shoulder.

When Dan Lei appeared, everyone in the stadium except for the three train kids and Yan Qing was stunned.

No one expected that this minor dispute would attract the attention of the great Dan Lei.

Xi Kui, Kong Qing, and several Cloud Riders controlling the scene immediately bowed and said
"Lord Yuyangjun"×N
Scott stumbled from Dan Lei's slap and said in alarm.
"You, you, no, Dragon Lord, how could the Dragon Lord be here?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately laughed.
"Commissioner Scott, you said the same thing the last time we met."

However, you seem to have forgotten that this is Luofu, and it's normal for me to appear anywhere.

I just overheard your dispute with Tianbo Company.

Honestly, what you said makes some sense. So, does that mean you have no problem with inspecting the box without opening it, even if you check it through the box?

Scott didn't expect Dan Lei to finish speaking for him. He had watched Dan Lei forge stars through the screen and knew that he couldn't afford to offend this master. Even if Dan Lei forcibly opened the box, the company wouldn't provoke this big shot over such a small matter.

So Scott decisively seized the opportunity and said in a flattering tone...
"Lord Dragon Lord is the most reasonable. As long as the box isn't opened, I have no problem with it. After all, we cooperate with the normal external scanning."

Seeing that Scott had taken the bait, Dan Lei nodded.
"Alright, then I'll personally use my mental power to inspect this batch of goods."

However, Commissioner Scott, if there really is a problem with this shipment, you'll be facing much more than just opening and inspecting the goods.

According to the import and export regulations signed between Xianzhou and the company, all biological products can only leave the port if it is confirmed that they will not cause harm to the outside world or have lost their biological activity.

Seeing that Dan Lei was directly bringing up the regulations, Scott immediately puffed out his chest and said...
"Understood. I, Scott, am the most law-abiding citizen. As long as you didn't intentionally activate these biological products, please investigate."

Seeing this, Dan Lei patted Scott on the shoulder again and said frankly...

"Alright, I'm pretty sure now that you've been scammed."

After saying that, Dan Lei directly addressed Xi Kui, Yan Qing, and Kong Qing.

"Gather your cavalry and craftsmen, and open these containers directly."

While you were arguing, I scanned everything, and it was full of bio-mechanicals that used the wet components of the Step-Off Humans.

This item is contraband, both within the company and the Immortal Boat Alliance.

After the craftsmen's report comes out, Xi Kui should send a letter of protest directly to the company. Using Bu Liren's nerves to manufacture weapons, the higher-ups who gave this order must have lost their minds.

Mr. Scott, there's no need to go to the Ten Kings' Office. Take him and his subordinates to the Earth Balance Office to make a statement.

Yanqing, these mechs are all alive and will attack automatically. Destroy their cores as soon as you open the boxes, don't miss a single one.

Now I understand why the Bu Li people attacked this cargo ship; they're all disgusting creatures.

As Dan Lei spoke, he directly raised his hand and melted the container that Scott was protecting, revealing the mech inside.

However, by this time, the mech's automatic counterattack was too late. Dan Lei precisely burned its armor with flames, revealing the disgusting wet structure inside.
