Chapter 382 The Secret of Dragon City
Standing on top of the world?

Su Xia does not agree, there is still a long way to go.

It is true that this group of liars is just a kid compared to the machine race, but it is not so easy to deal with it.

Su Xia is also a child compared to the machine race.

He and this liar group are equal opponents.

"What are you doing cheating so much money?" Su Xia continued to ask.

"Continue to develop the business and expand to the whole world." Andrew answered honestly.

"What other business?"

"That's more..."

Andrew thought for a while, organized his thoughts, and explained what he knew.

As he said, the group has a wide range of businesses, of which investment accounts for a large part. Their group is the major shareholder of many companies after the war, and has also acquired and merged many companies. More than half of the unicorn companies can see their group’s figure.

As far as the entertainment industry is concerned, their group has had a great influence and created many stars who are now popular.

There are so many industries on the surface that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

What's behind it is so much that it makes one's scalp tingle.

There are many gray industries, such as the cloning that Su Xia knows, which has extended more than a dozen gray area transactions. It existed before the war, and it is just more convenient now.

"For example, if someone wants to clone their dead family members, no matter what channel they find, they will basically find us in the end." Andrew talked about one of them.

"It's meaningless, the dead can't be brought back to life after all." Su Xia shook her head.

"My lord, it seems that you are not suitable for business." Andrew said.

"Don't say that too soon."

Su Xia looked calm, his pharmacy was still making money, and it was the pharmacy with the highest profit in the entire Coral City.

Andrew explained: "My lord, you need to grasp the psychology of your customers, just like I told you before."

"Be specific."

"Many times, customers also know that the product may not be useful, but they just want to buy a hope. When they call for consultation, their needs are already in front of you."

Andrew talked eloquently, talking about many superficial rules in the industry.

In his words, in their business, what they sell is not products, but the needs of customers.

It doesn't matter how good the product is if the customer doesn't want it.

At this time, it is necessary to create demand for customers.

"Demands can be created out of thin air. Even if I pull a random passerby on the side of the road, I can create a suitable demand for him." Andrew said.

"That makes sense... What is the core business of your group? To make so much money, which one is it for development?" Su Xia asked suddenly.

"It... doesn't seem to have a very specific core item."

"Do everything?"

"What I told you, my lord, is the main thing."

Andrew explained seriously: "To be honest, the group has always been like this. Whether it was before the war or after the war, the projects were similar, but the world after the war was more chaotic. For a while, most parts of the world were implementing 'shock therapy' , The machine clan is not managed, which gives our group the opportunity to grow rapidly."

"Well, the machine clan really doesn't care." Su Xia nodded.

"But this time it's different. The machine clan actually captured our group's employees."

"Oh?"

"It's Haima City. Those bases should have been destroyed by you, my lord. Some of the escaped employees were captured by the machine race and will be sent to the joint court for trial."

"oh, I see."

Su Xia was thoughtful, logically speaking, the machine clan really wouldn't care about such things.

In the eyes of those mechanical creatures, human affairs are trivial, and management will only waste time and energy. Most of the time, they overlook the development of the human world from above.

Unless, this matter touched their interests or emotions...

Could it be that reporter's mechanical friend?
Su Xia thought about it, and it was probably the only way to go.

At that time, the machine race came too fast, and the reaction speed exceeded everyone's imagination, so that he didn't have time to deal with the follow-up matters at all, and he didn't know what happened to the bases in Haima City.

Thinking about it, Ding Can should not disappoint him.

"Is there really no specific core project? Didn't the top management express any wishes?" Su Xia asked again.

"My lord, I haven't been able to reach the highest level yet," Andrew replied.

"I thought you had enough status."

"I... After all, I'm just a humble product. Although I'm responsible for enough things, I'm not considered human at all in the eyes of high-level people. I'm not qualified to get in touch with things that are too deep."

Andrew told the truth, his position is like a conveyor belt on a huge industrial machine, stronger than ordinary screws, but not much stronger.

In the history of this planet, there have been countless organizations similar to their group.

Going back, as early as thousands of years ago, someone put forward the concept of "drinking the blood of young people" to keep youth forever.

Later, some of these organizations were overwhelmed by the waves of time and completely became the dust of history.

There are also some organizations that have retired behind the scenes and used the money accumulated in those bloody transactions to become some famous families today, which are related to many nobles and even royal families in the Western Continent.

And their group just gathered a group of dignitaries from the new era, replaced those old organizations in the fires of war, and became the behind-the-scenes of this era.

Andrew then said: "However, when I was working for some people at the headquarters, I heard some gossip by chance."

"Be specific."

"It's just...a guess..."

Andrew rubbed his head and continued: "It seems that someone at the top wants to create a new world and destroy the existing human world."

Su Xia became a little interested and asked, "Why?"

"That's unknown. There are two explanations for the news I know."

"Which two?"

"The first one is about the human race." Andrew said: "Someone at the top seems to think that most of the existing humans are inferior humans, and they must be eliminated and the remaining superior humans must be retained."

"Oh, it's an old rumor, I've heard it too."

Su Xia nodded, this is nothing new.

"What about the other news?" he asked.

Andrew replied: "Another one is... Some people in the upper echelons think that all human beings are inferior now. No matter what race they are, every natural person has genetic defects. Everyone must be wiped out, and then through genetic technology, create A world of clones with perfect genes."

"Wait a minute, isn't the senior management of your group a natural person?" Su Xia asked.

"Yes."

"According to you, don't they want to destroy themselves?"

"That's right." Andrew nodded, "However, it is said that they all left clones with perfect genes, and when the time comes, they will transfer their own memories into the clones, and then destroy their old bodies with genetic defects, leading the new era. All mankind."

"What a joke..."

Su Xia rubbed her chin, thinking that this rumor was too weird.

The existing world is ruled by the mechanical race, will those mechanical creatures watch all this happen?
The machine race doesn't care about the small fights among humans, and keeps humans in captivity like pets, and humans can make any noise on weekdays.

But once a small number of pets want to destroy most of the pets, the mechanical clan can press them to death without the need for others to take action.

"My lord, that's all I know." Andrew said, no matter how many people there are, they can only go to the top management of the group.

"Well, there's another question."

"Sir, say it."

"Have you handled some munitions recently?"

"Yes."

"Where are you going to sell it?" Su Xia asked.

"In the southwest region of this continent, there is a large human gathering place called 'Dragon City'." Andrew answered truthfully.

This answer is the same as what Su Xia had guessed before.

At that time in the manor, when the owner of the manor told the news, Su Xia thought of the current situation of Dragon City.

Now there are rumors everywhere in Dragon City, and the situation is chaotic and turbulent. It seems that someone is deliberately spreading false news secretly, trying to provoke the division of the entire Dragon City.

He said to Andrew: "Dragon City has its own arsenal. Even if you want to purchase materials, you still purchase them from the central or northern part of the mainland. The materials you handle should not be sold to Dragon City officials."

"Yes, my lord, you are quite right."

Andrew nodded, "I'm just an intermediary for those munitions and supplies. When the other party delivers the goods, I'll be in charge of receiving them at the conch city pier, and then deliver them to a temporary coordinate near Dragon City...it can't be sent directly to Dragon City, so it shouldn't be Dragon City." It was purchased by the city officials."

"Who sold it? Who bought it?" Su Xia asked.

"This... I don't know very well..."

"I don't even know this, what kind of business do you do?"

"My lord, this kind of business is basically kept secret by both parties." Andrew showed embarrassment, "A middleman like me, just make money with peace of mind, and don't ask too many questions."

He mentioned that these transactions were basically assigned to him by the group.

And the group itself just played the role of a middleman.

"It's like the Zero Tavern." Andrew explained: "My lord, you are from the Zero Tavern. You must know that the Tavern itself is just a task trading station. Many people will send tasks anonymously, and then another group of people will accept the tasks anonymously. "

Before each transaction, he will contact the seller anonymously through network equipment to check the quantity of materials, arrival time, transaction location and other details.

He couldn't and didn't dare to ask who the seller was, and he didn't even dare to investigate secretly.

There are only a dozen or so sellers in the world who can provide a large number of arms, excluding the machine clan.

Even if the other party didn't say it, he could basically guess it.

After all, the goods were sent from the continent across the sea, and on that continent, only the human gathering place marked by the eagle could provide so much munitions.

"There is a contradiction between the gathering place of Dragon City and the large gathering place of human race across the ocean. You should know, sir, that it happened a long time ago." Andrew said.

"What contradiction?" Su Xia asked with a frown.

"Huh? Don't you know, my lord?"

"I have been training alone in the deep mountains and old forests for the past few years, so I didn't pay attention to these things."

"It's like this... There are conflicts among large-scale human gathering places such as the Dragon City gathering place, the Eagle gathering place, the White Bear gathering place, and the Golden Lion gathering place. It seems that there was a big fight two years ago, and it almost broke out. Later, due to the deterrence of the machine clan, we had to let go of the dispute and unite for the time being."

"Forced by the deterrence of the machine race..."

Su Xia inexplicably wanted to laugh. The unity of the human race can only rely on this sci-fi setting, which is really unrealistic.

According to Andrew, after that incident, there was not much contact between several large human gathering places.

The place where the eagles gather in his mouth is called Meirui on the game map, and the place where the white bears gather is called Lucy on the game map... Probably to avoid getting into trouble, Andrew is used to using aliases and dare not call them by names directly.

As for the cause of the conflict, it seems to be a dispute about the correct path. Among them, there are also the struggles among factions who insist on fighting, those who surrender, those who moderate, and those who find another way out. It is quite complicated and it is difficult to explain clearly in a few words.

"On the other side of the sea, on another continent, the leaders of several human gathering places seem to think...we can coexist with the machine race in a special state, and they want to ease the relationship."

"Surrender directly?"

"no……"

Andrew shook his head, expressing that he was not clear either: "What they proposed was not surrender, but 'coexistence'. I am just a puppet controlled by a group, and I can't understand these things, and I don't know much."

"I don't understand either." Su Xia said.

"My lord, you are a member of the militant faction, and you will definitely have a common language with those people in Dragon City."

"I'm a militant?"

"You can tell by your behavior."

Andrew said seriously: "The reason why so many people support you is not only because of your attitude towards the bottom people, but also because of your attitude towards the machine race. Now there are people from fighting factions all over the world, and many of them have seen you Be your own."

Su Xia suddenly said: "So that's the case."

No wonder the troubles in the southwestern region are so serious this time, every city is in chaos, and the chaos has become a pot of porridge.

It stands to reason that what Su Xia has done during this period has not allowed him to get so much support.

There must be some established forces secretly acting to muddy the water.

This is a battle of attitudes and the way forward.

There is no shortage of people in this world who persist in fighting.

Su Xia's attitude is clear enough to attract the attention of those people.

Andrew said again: "I'm just guessing that the eagle gathering place may want to disintegrate the Dragon City gathering place, or support a new spokesperson to oust the current Dragon City Lord from power, so that they can be obtained at the next gathering place meeting." Dragon City's support."

"Have you seen the current Lord of Dragon City?" Su Xia asked him.

"No, I've heard of some."

"Are you aware of his background?"

"This...is not very clear. I heard that it has gradually come to power over the past ten years."

"alright."

Su Xia was about to ask some other questions when her face suddenly changed and she glanced outside.

In his induction, some complicated metal objects are approaching his position.

"Shut up, the inspection soldiers of the machine clan are here!"

With a wave of Su Xia's hand, densely packed nano-robots climbed onto his and Andrew's bodies, covering their bodies and making them completely invisible.

Then he directly put away the stool he sat on, and pulled out the two floors that Andrew sat on.

Then, he took Andrew and flew out of the window at the back of the house lightly.

"Buzz-"

In the sky, more than a dozen machine race scouts flew by, scanning the life information below while flying.

Andrew's eyes widened, a little panicked, his heart was pounding, his mouth was tightly closed, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

He didn't expect the machine clan to come so fast.

How long did he talk to Su Xia?
Less than 5 minutes!
Were these mechanical creatures attracted by the previous explosion?
Can the covered things on his body escape the detection of the machine race?
