#424 - Consortium

The Company United Consortium, abbreviated as "Consortium," is an organization established by numerous multinational giants around the world. Its original purpose was to resist intrusions from the other side of the world, as not all governments are as powerful as the Da Shun government.

However, as the organization's membership continued to grow and its influence increased, it gradually formed an organization that superseded the governments of most countries worldwide.

As an executive officer of the Bureau, Chen Chuan had access to the Consortium's information; it was unavoidable.

Within the Consortium, different levels are distinguished based on the size, location, and influence of the companies. Its main members can share resources and information, jointly bear risks, and exert influence on the government decisions of various countries.

Although the Ferris Wheel Company cannot compare in scale to those giant enterprises, once it joins, the Consortium can help it avoid multinational supervision, share intelligence, assist in lobbying, and put pressure on governments. Furthermore, it can also obtain some technologies within the Consortium that are not sold externally.

The Consortium's influence is not limited to the real world; the teams jointly formed by the Consortium are also part of the force maintaining the World Ring, and their power is extremely strong.

Therefore, the major countries in the world have chosen a temporarily tolerant attitude towards it. After all, the Great Collision is imminent, and internal strife will only weaken their own strength.

Chen Chuan could imagine that if the Ferris Wheel Company deal was finalized, it would be almost impossible to resolve it at the government level.

He didn't ask Director Wu what the higher-ups would do, but he knew that the Da Shun government would definitely try to hinder this matter, but the outcome was really hard to say.

However, these matters were not his concern yet.

After all, the practice room is not a place specifically for storing weapons, and it is not convenient for maintenance. He thinks it is indeed time to consider moving them to that mansion.

With this in mind, he decided to take care of this matter today.

So he put the weapons into the weapon bag and transported them to the Gade car in two trips. Then, he drove to the mansion. Because it was relatively close, he arrived there in less than ten minutes.

There were five Sword Guards guarding the villa. After contacting them with the Realm Device, they saw him arrive and opened the gate for him. After parking the car in the independent garage, he brought the items to the weapon collection room without anyone's help.

This place was completely different from the dormitory. It was divided into various display areas, with corresponding placements for different weapons on the walls and shelves.

In addition to the bracket partitions, there were built-in and external types, and each placement point had lighting to allow the owner to better appreciate each weapon displayed here.

He carefully wiped each weapon first, and then selected a good position to place them on it.

Taking a few steps back to look at it, he immediately felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

The only regret was that the number was not enough. His gaze shifted and the feeling disappeared.

He thought there were a lot just now, but now looking at it, it only occupies a small corner of the collection room. He still needs to work harder.

After admiring it for a while, he retreated from here and closed the door. This weapon room is semi-enclosed, which is very conducive to maintenance and does not require constant guarding.

He went downstairs to the kitchen, made himself a cup of tea, and then came to the balcony on the fourth floor, took a chair from inside, and sat here looking outside.

The environment here is also very good. Outside, there are birds chirping and greenery everywhere. There is also a wetland park in front. If Hongfu wasn't here as a sparring partner in Wuyi, and the defense level was higher, this place would actually be more suitable for living.

To complete the defense here, there must first be domain-interfering creatures, otherwise the external biological domain will easily invade. Moreover, for a large mansion, if there is no Resonator guard, then there is almost no concealment from the outside world.

So, if he really decides to move here, he will have to find a way to get a domain-interfering creature and a resonance nest, and also need a dedicated Resonator.

Thinking of this, he opened the light screen of the Realm Device and searched casually on it.

With his current status as a Third Limit Combatant, he can access many platforms that were previously difficult to log in to, and can see various commodities that were previously inaccessible.

However, after he searched for a while, many advertisements were recommended to him, including some skill-type puppets that buyers strongly recommended.

He looked at it. These puppets are all products of the Paper Man Company.

He was no stranger to this, such as the Sword Guards below, and that "Number Thirteen," all came from this company.

In addition to the guardian type, these puppets also have Resonator skills, which are accepted by many middle and upper class people.

The Paper Man Company uses hypnotic passwords, implanted body keys, and drug triple control to ensure that the puppet is only loyal to the orderer and will never betray, and promises that even if its owner asks the puppet to attack the Paper Man Company, it will not disobey the order.

In fact, the company with the strongest technology for puppets is the Original Man Company, but this company takes the high-end route, and puppets are not its main business. The company with the widest range of business in this area in China is the Paper Man Company.

He thought about it. Speaking of which, the Original Man Company also has a branch in the central city of Jibei Road, located in the giant enterprise gathering area of Weiguang District, and it is also one of the important sponsors of Wuyi, but its presence is usually not strong.

If it is not specifically mentioned, the existence of this company will basically be ignored. However, Original Man is an important member of the Company United Consortium mentioned by Director Wu before, and is an existence that cannot be ignored among many company groups.

And he has the Original Man Company card, which seems to indicate that his parents had some connection with this company, but this card expired more than ten years ago.

There are many mists here that are temporarily unclear.

But he is not in a hurry. He believes that as the memory potion is further explored, he should be able to find clues and see the truth.

After drinking a cup of tea, he put on the Realm Device that Commissioner Liang gave him and directly contacted the woman who was in charge of picking him up last time. When she sent him out last time, he learned that her surname was Ji.

After getting connected, he said, "Officer Ji, Commissioner Liang asked me to report before the end of the month. Now I have handled the tasks in hand and can accept dispatch at any time."

Officer Ji immediately sent him a form and said, "Executive Officer Chen, please register and fill it out on this form, and then send it to me. If there is anything you don't understand, you can contact me through messaging or direct calls."

Chen Chuan said okay. He glanced at the form, which was a registration form for the defense plan. After filling it out, he sent it to the other side.

After waiting for a while, Officer Ji said, "The form has been submitted. Please wait patiently, Executive Officer Chen. We will send you the task list within three days. Please be prepared. During this period, do not accept other tasks or commissions."

Chen Chuan said, "Thank you for reminding me. I understand."

Because he was about to perform a defense mission, he didn't know how long it would take this time. Judging from Director Wu's words, it shouldn't be too long, but it might not end in a short time, so he needed to notify the people he contacted frequently.

He first contacted Gao Ming, explained a few words, and then greeted Wu Bei. Then, he contacted Tan Zhi and told him that Chao Ming might have to be deposited with him for a while.

The latter said there was no problem, and also said that he no longer lived in the dormitory, but rented a room outside, which was convenient for him to follow a teacher's training. If he wanted to see it, he could come at any time.

Saying that, he sent him an address.

Chen Chuan looked at it. This address was not far from Wuyi. Fifty meters away was a famous Happy Jump Bar, and within two kilometers was a dance theater.

He smiled. The location was really well chosen, and it really seemed like the place where Tan Zhi should live.

At this time, he contacted Lao Qi again, but this time, it took a while to connect, and Lao Qi's voice coming from inside was slightly hoarse and tired.

He noticed something was wrong: "Lao Qi, what's wrong?"

Lao Qi said: "Little Brother Chen, actually I was thinking of looking for you. If you want to ask me to buy secret cult materials, it will be difficult for me to buy them recently..."

Chen Chuan raised his eyebrows. The secret cult materials he used before were all bought from Lao Qi. The quality of the materials was very good, and the quantity was always sufficient, which was considered a better channel.

However, even if Lao Qi couldn't buy it here, it didn't matter, because now he has the Lu Tong Logistics channel, and many things in the lower city can be found there.

He was concerned about Lao Qi's affairs. He said: "Lao Qi, is there anything wrong with you?"

Lao Qi seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said: "The friend who has been selling secret cult materials to me has always been earning money privately. Now he has been discovered by the people behind him, so he escaped from the lower city. I tried to find a place for him to live, but the gangs in the lower city came to the door.

He was kidnapped, but those gang members don't seem to intend to give up and want to trace the whereabouts of the materials. Now I can't go home, so I have to live in the car with Xiao Qi recently."

"How long has this been going on?"

Lao Qi said: "It's been four or five days."

Chen Chuan asked: "Lao Qi, where are you now? Um, okay, don't worry about this for now, I'll come over later."

After ending the call, he finished his tea, got up and went downstairs, first made a phone call to his family, saying that he was going to perform a mission recently and might not be able to contact them for a while. If there was anything, if the phone at the school dormitory could not be reached, they could contact Gao Ming.

Then, he left the villa, got into the Gade car, and drove to the location Lao Qi said.
