"Ah? They were all escaped by the abandoned ship chased by the Umbrella Foundation, but now they want to join in the end. Isn't this a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?" The tribe members around Sarah couldn't help but exclaim, unable to understand the idea of ​​the Octopus.

It is rumored that the octopus human race is one of the few intelligent races in the universe, and its brain distribution structure ensures that its thinking and response are different from other races. In the Tuss Galaxy, the octopus humans also play important roles such as wisdom or aides in various forces.

But it is really weird that the octopus can do such abnormal actions right now.

Sarah smiled and said, "I think he might be a colleague with his uncle. The Umbrella Foundation is already very imaginative, and the antelope hangs its horns, and it always makes unexpected moves. It is impossible for this octopus to abandon the ship and return to the Ross Consortium. I can't stay in Yuanda Hangdoll for a lifetime, and the only thing that can break the deadlock now is to join the Umbrella Foundation."

"If he succeeds, then the next step will be interesting. The forces and members in Yuanda Hangdock will definitely follow suit."

Sarah and the Umbrella Foundation signed an alliance agreement, and obtained the opportunity to work closely with San Sula and was regarded as a guest of honor.

Who can refuse to join the higher civilization and miss the opportunity to turn into a dragon when fish jump to the dragon gate?

The news that the Octopus appeared alone at the port mechanical fortress connecting the door spread wildly.

Although Yuanda Hang Dock has been temporarily controlled and the port area is the top priority, many merchants and passers-by hiding in the dark outside the port still saw this scene.

The news quickly spread throughout Yuanda Hangdock through the air. Many people guessed the purpose of the Octopus and were paying attention to whether this crazy idea could come true. If the Umbrella Foundation can even accept the Octopus, then they should try it too!

Soon, the elderly butler Alfred walked out of the passage and led the octopus into the mechanical fortress.

Octopus was nervous.

He knew nothing about the Umbrella Foundation, and his only understanding was that the last time the Black Throne appeared, killing the almost full fleet with a storm. His peerless posture and terrifying deterrence drifted in the Tuss Galaxy, becoming a shadow shrouded in the hearts of all forces.

But the old man like a housekeeper in front of him contained particularly terrifying energy.

The Octopus felt the aura of the undead from him, but what was most afraid of was that it was a layer of active life force shrouded outside the aura of the undead. These two were completely different. It can even be said that the energy of the mortal enemy was harmoniously concentrated in one body, which shows how powerful the Umbrella Foundation is, the crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and a butler have such unpredictable strength.

The Octopus walked into the mechanical fortress in awe.

The mechanical fortress has a magnificent interior, but it looks ordinary on the outside, just like a destroyer.

But Octopus will not underestimate the Umbrella Foundation because of this.

When he was on the Lost Planet, the horrors of the Black Throne were vivid in his mind, and he would never forget the strong sense of oppression and despair in his life.

Powerful and low-key, this is what Octopus’s impression of the Umbrella Foundation.

When passing by the rest area, the octopus octopus was seen in a constant stream, and people came and went.

The various buildings and forces in the rest area shine brightly.

The number of forces that appear in front of you has exceeded that of the Ross Consortium. It can integrate so many forces and allow them to live in harmony, which shows Link's power and skills.

This also gave Octopus the hope of joining the Umbrella Foundation. Since there are so many forces, it is okay to have one of them, right?

Alfred took the Octopus to the door of Link's lounge and said, "The President is inside."

The mechanical door makes a sneering sound.

Octopus walked into the lounge nervously and saw Link sitting on the sofa listening to music at first glance.

Although he is facing his back, his temperament like a mountain gives people a majestic and unshakable feeling.

"I heard you are looking for me?" Link did not look back, but his voice had already floated over.

The Octopus walked quickly to Link with his body and said humbly: "Dear President, I have drawn a clear line with the Ross Consortium. This time I came here to surrender with my subordinates. I hope that with my slim strength, I can make some contribution to the Umbrella Foundation..."

Link raised his eyebrows slightly, and he didn't expect that the Octopus was actually to surrender this time.

The Octopus has a strong attitude, and after saying the sentence just now, Link's system showed that the other party's loyalty had reached 65 points. Obviously, the surrender was not just a casual statement.

However, Link did not agree to the other party easily, but instead asked: "You said you wanted to join the Umbrella Foundation, but I want to know what your joining can bring to the foundation?"

The Umbrella Foundation has an extraordinary status, a wealth of talents, and a black throne form, and is well-known in the Tuss Galaxy.

This is not a gangster club, and it does not need to win by quantity.

If you don’t have a skill or feature, what qualifications are you qualified to join the Umbrella Foundation?

In other words, the Umbrella Foundation does not collect waste!

There is something about this that Octopus had thought of before coming.

The so-called role is the difference between core competitiveness and other forces.

Octopus thought for a moment and said: "We are mainly responsible for engineering development and smuggling and dumping within the Ross consortium, and have complex and abundant sales channels in the Tuss Galaxy."

Seeing that Link's expression was not fluctuating, Octopus was panicked and quickly added: "In addition to these, I have a sales path in Qunxing Port... Although this sales path usually transports some things from the Ross Consortium, it is essentially my personal relationship channel... Although I don't know your itinerary, I think Qunxing Port is the core trade zone of the Movor Galaxy Cluster, and it is good even if it stops and rests. If you and your subordinates have any procurement needs at that time, I can guarantee that this relationship channel is definitely the lowest in Qunxing Port."

This is the trump card of the Octopus.

He was able to be among the directors of the Ross Consortium because of his own troops and destroyers; on the other hand, he had this commercial line that went directly to the Qunxing Port.

The reason why he decided to surrender to Link rather than return to the Ross Consortium.

It is precisely because he is alone now, and the only trump card in his hand is this trade line. But he still understands the principle of guilt that he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Without enough strength to protect himself, this trade line will only make wedding clothes for others.

Now he chose to provide this trade line as a letter of invoice, just to join the Umbrella Foundation.

Because Octopus knew that this was the only place he had value now.

There was no wave on Link's face, and the Octopus could not guess what Link was thinking at all. He suddenly felt that his emperor's heart was as deep as abyss.

"You can talk about the relationship and source of the trade line in detail."

Octopus speeds up his speech: "The one who is responsible for this trade line at Qunxing Port is my brother. I am in the Ross Consortium, responsible for connecting these strange and rare species materials in the marginal galaxies through trade and transporting them to Qunxing Port for him to sell. You know, the real large consortium is simply disdainful of doing these small businesses. The consortium located in remote galaxies has no relationship. Docking with merchants at Qunxing Port often makes it less profitable."

Link fell into silence, and the Octopus was frightened.

At this moment, life is all dependent on Link's hands. As long as he wants, he can die at any time without a place to bury him.

"May I have your name?"

The Octopus didn't react a little: "Paul."

Octopus Paul...this name is OK.

At the same time, this name also reminded Link of the ultimate boss in version 6.0, Paul the Great.

Now the version has entered the 3.0 stage, and there are only two versions left before seeing Paul the Great.

Link's [Heart of the Swarm] mission has reached 25%. The more difficult it is, the more illusory it will be. Especially in this process, it is possible to confront Paul, who is looking for the Zerg nest.

Link Piaoyuan's thoughts gradually retracted.

Looking at the octopus Paul's face in front of him, his face turned pale. The octopus's own disguise pigment has faded away, becoming whiter and transparent, and his eyes are full of despair.

"You go and gather your subordinates, and then report on the mechanical fortress!"

"Of course I didn't just accept you directly. From now on, we will conduct an inspection along the way. After arriving at Qunxing Port, we will arrange for all members of the CIS forces to vote. Only when the votes are passed will you be considered officially joining."

"If you agree, you can stay with your subordinates."

"If you don't agree, you can leave now."

Octopus Paul's face instantly turned rosy, like a grilled squid, extremely red.

"I am willing, of course I am willing. Thank you to the President for your past refusal and magnanimousness. My subordinates and I will definitely devote ourselves to the Umbrella Foundation until we die."

"Don't be too full. Okay, go and gather your subordinates now."

After the octopus Paul left, a smile rose from the corner of Link's mouth.

The unexpected addition of Octopus Paul allowed Link to open up a commercial line for Star Port, which had an extremely important impact on Link in version 3.0 and even version 4.0.

You should know that Star Port is the core area of ​​the Movor galaxy cluster.

Important civilizations of the entire galaxy cluster are traded here. At the same time, it is also the political center of the entire galaxy cluster.

The Autonomous Committee of the Star Port is controlled by several major civilizations and forces of the Movor Cluster. The forces and organizations are intricate and have complex relationships. Even if they are as powerful as players, they can only deal with many forces and rely on major forces, and cannot establish their own organization.

Now that there is an unexpected trade line, Link can pass through several major organizations of complex reviews and assessments, freely import and export trade, buy the items he needs, sell the output, be reasonable and legal, and not be constrained by the Autonomous Committee of the Star Port.

It was simply an unexpected surprise.

And after swearing allegiance to Link, the loyalty of the octopus Paul was already at seventy o'clock.

This is a very high initial value.

You should know that two days ago, Link had just smashed a frigate of the Octopus Paul with the Black Throne and forcibly occupied his destroyer. It can be said that it is not easy to have such a high loyalty from a wealthy moment to a pauper.

Moreover, Paul Octopus and his men were in charge of engineering development, which plays an important role in the Umbrella Foundation.

With such a team that is good at engineering development, as long as they are given a construction ship, the dock of the Umbrella Foundation will be filled with galaxy clusters. Helen can free up more energy and focus on the mechanical aspects.

And Link also thought that octopus Paul should be at a desperate situation.

Without destroyers, the soldiers and generals were lost, and even the lost planet was taken back. The Ross Consortium suffered heavy losses this time.

As a director, Paul also has a business line connecting the port of Stars.

There is only one result when I go back, I become someone else's puppet and I will be held accountable.

If you don't go back, you can only hide in Yuanda Hangdock and be protected by Shangsula.

But the Ross consortium will definitely not let the traitor go, and will hire killers or mercenaries to find ways to capture the octopus Paul.

I chose to take the risk to meet Link. There was indeed no way to submit my application for admission on the spot.

But if you take risks in chess, the benefits of success are also extremely large.

From a consortium director of the Tuss Galaxy, he transformed himself into a member of the Umbrella Foundation.
