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

Chapter 427 Qingque "The Grand Diviner is quite short, there's nothing to see here."

Dan Lei possessed information about a nebula-level supercomputer, which became the final straw that persuaded Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan had considered that Dan Lei might have gained more than just a bloodline ascension from the Immortal Trial; he might have also obtained other treasures.

But Jing Yuan didn't expect this treasure to be so hardcore—a nebula-level supercomputer! It turns out that even the immortal dragon descendants are taking the technology route.

However, based on the current scattered information, during the era when the Immortal Dragonborn were active, the pioneering Silver Rail had not yet spread throughout the universe. Those who could roam the various worlds were only those physically powerful dragons and ancient beasts that may not have been completely extinct.

So, no one would know that the Immortal Dragonborn secretly built a nebula-level computer.

It's estimated that Xingxiao and the others are completely unaware of this information, so they certainly won't be overly cautious.

With the plan approved, the meeting adjourned, and everyone got to work.

To prevent Xingxiao from causing trouble during the planning phase, although the matter of the Nether Prison was not made public, the number of Cloud Cavalry patrol forces in Luofu was tripled.

Feixiao and Jingyuan appeared on the streets and alleys frequently without any apparent pattern, forcing Xingxiao and Yulu to hide themselves during this period.

Meanwhile, Dan Lei also pretended to begin a secret investigation. The team that the Dragon Masters used to gather information about Luofu was used by Dan Lei, who gave them a strict order to find Yu Luo and Dan Bi.

However, while acting, Dan Lei did not forget his main business. For this martial arts ceremony, Topa, who was in charge of the construction of Liuyun Ferry from the Interstellar Peace Company, was attending the event as the company's representative.

After Danlei demonstrated his star-forging miracle, she also requested a meeting.

However, Danlei has been busy with other important matters, so he hasn't seen her yet.

Regarding the construction of Yuyang No. 2, Jingyuan said that Tianbo Company should discuss it with the company, but Danlei felt that it would be better to inform Toppa in advance.

At Danlei's invitation, Toppa naturally rushed over to Danlei's side immediately with a large number of gifts and also gave Danlei a gift list.

Dan Lei stared at the gift list, which resembled a dock cargo manifest, and muttered in exasperation.
"Topa, are you serious? Did you sweep up all the baby products in the company?"

Since it was a private meeting between friends, and knowing that Danlei disliked being too formal, Toppa was quite relaxed, crossing his legs and sipping his red tea as he spoke.
"It's not that bad, I just picked a few brands that I liked."

However, when I told their manager that I was giving you a gift, these people immediately started fighting. As long as you, Danlei Longzun, and your genius child use one of their brand's products, it will bring them endless profits.

Therefore, these lists are simply gift lists from the three winning companies.

Moreover, I believe that the market for infants and toddlers from the Chiming tribe will open up soon, so I had them send over a lot of samples these past two days for Dandingsi and Tianbosi to test, in order to facilitate their entry into the market later.

"Of course, whatever you need from the list, those companies will provide it for free, and they'll even deliver it to your designated location free of charge."

Topa's words left Danlei speechless. He simply tossed the list aside and then said...
“These people are too confident. How could my child use the company’s products? What milk powder can compare to Ruan Mei’s?”

I probably wouldn't even be qualified to participate in early childhood education; it's definitely going to be a one-man show between the two mothers.

Toys? Those two kids' toys are probably mostly oddities.

In short, I don't need any of the things on this list.

However, I will accept the two dragon-shaped crystal jade pieces you gave me.

Although it won't be useful for another two or three hundred years.

Danlei was satisfied that he was willing to accept the crystal jade he had chosen. The list was originally something his subordinates had asked him to submit to Danlei.

After accepting the gift, Danlei got down to business, smiling as he spoke to Topa.

"However, I won't accept your things for nothing."

"I'll give you some information: the planet I created a couple of days ago will serve as the main stage for this martial arts ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Toppa's eyes lit up, and he excitedly approached Danlei.

"Oh~~ that planet is going to be the main stage? Then it definitely needs to be developed, right? Your Immortal Ship will have to outsource the city construction and port construction, won't they?"

Danlei simply smiled at Toppa's question, without giving a direct answer, and only said...
"You can ask Tianbo about these issues later, but what I can say is that this outsourcing is free, but advertising is allowed."

However, construction needs to be fast, like it can be completed within a day.

Toppa's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this, and he immediately stood up to take his leave.

"Advertise? That's great! I'll go write the bid right now. Bye-bye."

By the way, what about Ms. Emerald? Don't you need to give her an explanation? I think maybe we should leave it to the child as well.”

After saying that, Toppa left in a hurry, as if he would lose hundreds of millions of credits if he stayed even a second longer.

Danlei looked completely bewildered, indicating that he hadn't yet explained the situation regarding jadeite, topaz, or placer gold.
Honestly, my relationship with Jade was purely a rumor.

However, Dan Lei couldn't explain this kind of thing. The key issue was that even if Jade cooperated with his explanation, no one would believe him.

Fortunately, Toppa's enthusiasm for work improved, making the construction of Yuyang-2 much easier to resolve.

Tianbo Company and Toppa's strategic investment department hit it off immediately, quickly finalized the relevant contracts at company speed, and announced that the preliminary rounds of the martial arts ceremony would be moved to the Yuyang II, with only the top 16 competition continuing to be held on the Jingfeng ship.

In addition, this martial arts ceremony also added a new mode, namely the large-scale survival elimination mode.

One hundred contestants will be stripped of all technological equipment, their mechanical modifications will only allow them to use basic functions such as hands and feet, and they will be thrown into an area to fight to the death.

The area contains various equipment and medical supplies provided by the Interstellar Peace Corporation, available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can also "kill" enemies and steal their abandoned equipment.

Since death is not allowed under the planet's rules, any means are permitted. In addition to the martial arts competition, a champion will be crowned in the survival elimination mode.

After all, on the battlefield, strong military strength does not necessarily mean strong survival ability. Regardless of what one relies on, the value of surviving to the end in a situation surrounded by enemies is, to some extent, greater than the level of military strength.

This survival elimination mode was Danlei's idea, and its prototype is obviously PUBG.

Normally, playing battle royale games in the Star Iron Universe can only happen in the virtual world, because skilled players wouldn't participate in such a dangerous survival game.

The games played by the weaker side are not very entertaining.

However, with the Star Rule guaranteeing resurrection, the above problems no longer exist.

Moreover, removing all equipment before entering the arena is much fairer to warriors from relatively lower civilizations, since everyone's equipment is something they find in the arena.

Those who survive to the final rounds are basically advanced Destiny Walkers. There is not much difference between mechanical bodies and physical bodies, and physical advantages may even be greater.

After all, many of the weapons and equipment provided by Interstellar Peace Corporation have the ability to detect machinery.

You ask, why is the site filled with equipment from the Interstellar Peace Corporation?
Yu Kong would answer that it's because the Interstellar Peace Company provided so much—so much that Jing Yuan even said that the Interstellar Peace Company's equipment was more abundant and varied than that of the Immortal Boat Alliance, making it more suitable for this brand-new competition mode. In short, this real-person survival elimination mode became a hit after only one competition.

With resurrection as a guarantee, you never know what kind of trouble martial artists and outlaws from all over the universe might cause you.

Can you believe that the local Cloud Rider contestants and Interstellar Peace Company soldiers from Luofu were all eliminated within ten minutes of the start of the competition?

The thrill of Tycoon Motorball is nothing compared to this battlefield.

Aside from some reservations regarding the bombing zones, no planet-destroying weapons were used; it was just ordinary orbital bombing. You can see all known tactics in the universe here, and they're all brutal and bloody, with plenty of pixelation. (To avoid frightening children, overly gory scenes will be automatically pixelated by AI.)
Some military organizations even paid for the complete, uncensored video footage afterward to study the first match.

The same goes for Yunqi; it was too embarrassing for them to be eliminated in less than ten minutes, and Jingyuan couldn't sit still anymore.

Of course, the broadcasting rights for the subsequent matches still made Luofu a fortune.

Because the top five survivors and those eliminated all receive points, and money is awarded for points, a large number of outlaws from across the universe flock to Luofu.

Both involve risking one's life in space, but the martial arts ceremony in Luofu is much safer, and the reputation of the Immortal Boat Alliance is far superior to that of the Interstellar Peace Company.

It's safe to say that as long as you're not wanted by the Immortal Boat Alliance, even Wing Makers are coming to Yuyang II to participate in the battle royale competition, which shows just how popular this project is.

However, this was precisely what Dan Lei and his group aimed for.

Nowadays, tourists in Luofu have all turned their attention to Yuyang II, and the entertainment city of Interstellar Peace Company is full. Toppa has even borrowed Emerald's whip and is whipping his subordinates to quickly expand the city and recruit waiters to "make money".

Luofu itself has indeed become much quieter.

Seeing that most of the tourists had gathered on Yuyang No. 2, Dan Lei prepared to begin the second step of his plan: to sneak into the Taibu Si and have Fu Xuan activate the Qiong Guan Formation to catch Xing Xiao off guard.

If you want to avoid disturbing anyone in the Tabushi, the Bluebird is the best guide.

Therefore, Qingque, who was playing the Qiongyu card in Changletian, was quickly captured by the Yunqi sent by Danlei.

Qingque, who had been captured by the Cloud Cavalry and brought before Dan Lei, almost burst into tears upon seeing him and immediately protested.
"Lord Yuyang, do you need me to use the Cloud Cavalry?"

When I was arrested at Changletian, I kept thinking I must have slacked off and messed things up; I was almost scared to death!

Faced with Qingque's protest, Danlei dismissed the Yunqi and said with a smile.
"You know you're slacking off."

"I'm giving you a task: lead me secretly into the Imperial Apothecary; I need to see Fu Xuan."

Upon hearing this, Qingque's mind went blank for a moment, and she stared at Danlei in disbelief, exclaiming...

"Yuyang-jun, have your tastes changed so much lately? You're even going to make a move on the Grand Diviner, who's so short?"

No, that's not right. Why do you need me to lead the way for your secret meeting with the monk? Is this some strange game?

Seeing that Qingque had most likely misunderstood, Dan Lei could only say speechlessly.
"I will report your remarks to Fu Taibu word for word."

I asked you to lead the way because I need to see Fu Xuan discreetly from everyone else.

You are the safest in this regard.

After all, even if I sneak in quietly and hide perfectly, there's still a chance I'll be discovered by the fortune teller. But if I sneak in with you, the chance of being discovered is practically zero.

Fu Xuan told me that you've learned the improved version of Feng Hou Qi Men that I brought back.

After hearing Danlei's explanation, Qingque realized that the two were not having a private meeting, but rather were about to carry out some secret operation.

His expression immediately turned serious, and he asked...

"Lord Yuyang, you can transform into a giant dragon, but can you shrink your body?"

Dan Lei nodded at the question. Shrinking his body was not difficult for him; it was essentially just a means of manipulating the physical body.

So Danlei said
"No problem, if necessary, I can become even smaller than your arm."

Upon hearing this, Qingque immediately smiled and said confidently.
"That makes things simple. You hide in my sleeve, and I'll sneak you into the Tabushi Temple."

"So, are you planning to go straight to the Grand Diviner's boudoir, or will you be content with just entering his residence?"

Regarding this question, Dan Lei followed up on Qing Que's words.
"You said that Fu Taibu is short, so there's nothing to see in her boudoir."

"You take me to her residence, and then you go to her room to find her yourself..."

With Qingque's help, sneaking into the Taibu Si was a piece of cake. Qingque slipped into Fu Xuan's residence in the Taibu Si as if she were going home, and was not discovered by anyone else throughout the process.

However, as soon as Qingque pushed open the gate to Fu Xuan's residence and closed it, Fu Xuan's voice rang out behind her.
"This morning I cast a divination for myself, and the result indicated that a friend would be visiting today."

However, I waited all day and didn't see a single person, but then an uninvited guest appeared in the evening.

"Qingque, do you want to explain yourself?"

Qingque was startled by Fu Xuan's voice and almost jumped out of the courtyard.

However, upon recognizing Fu Xuan as the newcomer, Qing Que instantly relaxed.

"Master, please don't scare me."

My late-night visit was naturally due to an order I could not refuse.

Fu Xuan didn't doubt Qing Que's words. Given Qing Que's personality, you couldn't very well say that she sneaked into his house in the middle of the night to steal some secrets, could you?

Fu Xuan preferred to believe that Qing Que had come to steal the novels and comics under his bed.

So Fu Xuan stepped out of the shadow of the wall and asked in a serious tone.
"An order you can't refuse? Is it Jingyuan or Danlei? Just tell me."

Upon hearing this, Qingque waved her right hand, and the little dragon Danlei, which had been hiding in her sleeve, flew out and transformed into human form. She then said...

"To be precise, it was a joint order from both of us."

"Tao Taibu, this is Jing Yuan's token. Now, we require you to immediately activate the Qiong Guan Formation to cooperate with me in directly calculating the locations of Xing Xiao and Yu Luo."

Dan Lei is using Jing Yuan as a scapegoat here. He took Jing Yuan's token without any problem, and Jing Yuan didn't say a word.

Upon seeing that Dan Lei truly possessed Jing Yuan's keepsake, Fu Xuan frowned slightly and retorted.
"What exactly is the General thinking? Why is he going along with your nonsense and coming straight into my residence to give orders without saying a word? Isn't he worried about running into me while I'm taking a bath or something?"

Faced with Fu Xuan's complaints, Dan Lei only had one sentence:
"Don't overthink it, Fu Taibu. I definitely won't peek if you're taking a bath. According to Qingque, you're quite short, so what's there to see?"

Bluebird?!
