Machine War: Infinite Frontier

In the city of desire, in the bustling casino, Xiao Yun sat down at a gambling table with his arms around the charming Tilly, casually threw a few chips on the table and continued to play with Tilly without looking at it. Flirting and joking.

Others at the table, including the dealer, seemed not to be surprised by such a scene. The same thing happened in many places in the casino every day and every moment.

The dealer opened the cards with a smile and took away the chips dropped by Xiao Yun. Then Xiao Yun threw out a few more chips and continued to joke and flirt with Tilly, as if he didn't care about winning or losing at all.

After losing several times in a row, the expression on Xiao Yun's face became strange. He smiled and took out his chips and placed a bet on all the points.

Everyone on the table was stunned for a moment, and even the croupier smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xiao, you are acting against the rules."

"What are the rules? Isn't gambling table just about having fun? As long as I win money, I will be happy." Xiao Yun waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "You can play whatever you want, it doesn't matter, even if I lose more than thirty people, I can still win one." , just as happy.”

The dealer looked at the other people on the table and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, everyone, you don't have any objections."

The tall, silly man who looked very powerful with a height of two meters shook his head: "I have no objection."

Other people also shook their heads. A guy who was about thirty years old and looked quite calm laughed and said, "It's okay, let's go."

After the cards were opened, Xiao Yun only won two of the thirty-odd chips he had bet, but Xiao Yun still looked very happy on his face and stuffed the winning chips directly into Tilly's chest. Haha said: "Forget it, the ones who win are the ones who win. This game is boring. Why don't we change the game?"

Tilly bit her lower lip, showed a seductive expression to Xiao Yun, and said delicately: "I hate it."

"Hahaha."

Xiao Yun laughed and hugged Tilly's waist and left, while the guy in his thirties just now asked the dealer curiously: "Who is this person?"

"Are you talking about Mr. Xiao?" The croupier smiled and said, "He is a VIP here. I'm sorry to disturb everyone's interest. On behalf of the City of Desire, I will give you a glass of wine. I hope you don't mind."

The 2-meter-tall silly guy laughed and said, "What do you mind if you have wine to drink? Just keep going."

Another person on the table said thoughtfully: "Mr. Xiao, isn't this the person who took over the nearby HDDC park...now called Shuguang Industry? I heard that Sugon Industry specializes in weapons development. Some time ago, There was a big fuss over the weapons test, I didn’t expect it to be so young.”

The croupier smiled slightly and didn't answer. He used the earphone to contact the others and sent them drinks, then reminded everyone to place their bets.

The man in his thirties glanced at Xiao Yun's back as he hugged the beautiful woman and left. He smiled and continued playing a few games before leaving quietly.

It didn't take long for this man in his thirties to have a basic understanding of Xiao Yun.

"Xiao Yun, with unknown origin and background. Not long ago, he was introduced by Leonardo, the current manager of Chimera, and became a new shareholder of City of Desire, but he only occupied a small share of the shares. HDDC Industrial Park previously belonged to HDDC Enterprises , I don’t know why it suddenly changed to Shuguang Industry. The specific situation is unknown and I don’t need to investigate. I also heard before that there was a huge explosion about 60 kilometers away from the City of Desire, and the sound was heard here. Everyone is saying that it was caused by Sugon Industries’ new weapon test, but it’s unclear where the news came from.”

"According to intelligence personnel here, the industrial park currently used by Dawn Society originally belonged to HDDC, but in fact it should be Leonardo's private property. He also has a corresponding share in HDDC, and the former manager of City of Desire is missing. Leonardo became the new manager later, and I suspect that Xiao Yun may have been behind the scenes to support and get rid of the push for Leonardo to come to power.”

The man groaned: "When did Dawn Industry appear?"

Someone said: "It seems to have happened shortly before the rebels started to get the new aircraft. There has been no announcement of any products yet. Our intelligence personnel confirmed that the rebels were the supplier of the new aircraft found in Chimera. Could it be this one?" Dawn Industry?”

"New enterprise? No exclusive supply agreement with TMC?"

"No."

"Get ready to investigate..."

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang suddenly, and everyone in the room immediately became alert. The man waved his hand to signal his subordinates to get ready and then slowly came to the door: "Who is it?"

"Hello, I'm the manager of City of Desire."

The door opened, and a young man said to the person who opened the door with a flattering smile: "Hello, I am the manager of the City of Desire. My boss would like to invite some of you to have tea. I wonder if you are willing. Willing to honor."

"Who is your BOSS?"

The young man said: "The master of the City of Desire, Leonardo."

"Really? That's fine. Please lead the way, but I'll go alone."

"please."

The man came to Leonardo's luxurious office. Leonardo stood at the door with open hands and laughed: "Welcome."

"Hello, Mr. Leonardo, it's an honor to meet you."

"Haha." Leonardo laughed, raised his hand and said, "Please, what do you call me?"

"Renee."

Leonardo nodded, invited Reni to sit down and said: "Mr. Reni, I knew about you and your people on the first day they came to the City of Desire. I originally wanted to invite Reni to a formal occasion. Mr. Ni, you and your people are here to be my guests, but something happened today that forced me to invite you over in advance.”

"I want to tell you, this is the City of Desire and the Star of the Black Market. Everything can be bought with money, even intelligence, so there is no need to do things in private that shouldn't be done, such as investigating things that shouldn't be done. "

Reni kept smiling without changing his expression: "Is that so? I have always abided by the rules of the City of Desire and did not mess around. I don't know what went wrong."

"You are investigating Mr. Xiao." Leonardo poured Reni a glass of wine and said, "I know your origin, but Mr. Xiao's background is also very unusual. Someone told me that you are investigating Mr. Xiao's background. In order to avoid getting into trouble, and to avoid getting trouble on my head, I have to invite you to come over and give you a warning to stop you from continuing."

"Ha, this is the City of Desire and the Star of the Black Market." Reniha laughed and said, "So you know where I am from?"

"TMC." Leonardo raised his glass to signal Reni. After clinking glasses and drinking, he said, "Your information was already in my hands before you arrived. As the manager of the City of Desire, of course I have to pay attention to any information that may be given to me. We are the ones who bring trouble, so are the TMC and the rebels, but as long as there is enough money, any information will naturally be put in front of you."

Reni suppressed his smile and said calmly: "If that's the case, how much does the information about the new resistance aircraft cost?"

Leonardo glanced at Reni, drank wine and said slowly: "Even if I give you a face with this news, I am showing my sincerity to the TMC behind you, so I give it to you for free. The only requirement is not to be in the City of Desire. Come on, let me tell you in advance that Mr. Xiao has nothing to do with the resistance, and the resistance’s new machine has nothing to do with Dawn Industry. Mr. Xiao is not from the border. "

Reni raised his eyebrows: "Huh? From other star fields?"

Leonardo looked at Reni with a half-smile: "That's it. He is someone I can't afford to offend. Even his name may not be true. He is protected by more than thirty knights. Mr. Reni, you You wouldn’t want to provoke such a person, even the leader of the resistance wouldn’t be able to have so many knights protecting him, right?”

"Cough." Reni almost choked, coughed a few times and said, "This is really a bit exaggerated."

Leonardo nodded and smiled: "So Mr. Reni had better tell his men not to do unnecessary things. Your team cannot handle thirty knights. I can only say that he is... very cruel. , and this Mr. Xiao is more like a naughty child, very willful. "

"In addition, the person who provided the new machine body to the resistance was not a company that could be found, but a black market arms dealer who was lucky enough. Some time ago, many people knew that the resistance came to the City of Desire to buy supplies. The arms dealer took the initiative to find the rebels and provided more than a dozen test machines, and then received a large order from the rebels. "

"However, because the size of this arms dealer's factory is not worth mentioning, it cannot meet the procurement needs of the resistance at all. Therefore, after giving a large amount of money to this arms dealer, they began to manufacture independently, and this arms dealer received the money. He has left Chimera and will never come back. As for his information, I can give it to you."

Reni raised his glass: "Thank you very much, Mr. Leonardo."

Leonardo smiled: "Mr. Reni, your purpose has been accomplished. I don't know when you are going to leave. I will take the time to send you off in person."

"I'm afraid we have to wait for a while." Reni smiled and said, "It's my first time in Chimera and the City of Desire. I want to take a good look everywhere."

Leonardo said: "Do you need me to send a guide?"

Reni said: "If so, that would be great, thank you very much."

Leonardo raised his hand to signal to his men, and soon one of his men brought a golden envelope and handed it to Reni.

"This is?"

"It's just hush money, hahaha. Please don't cause trouble for me in the City of Desire, especially don't provoke Mr. Xiao, otherwise I will have a headache." Leonardo laughed and said, "During this period All your expenses in the City of Desire are mine.”

Reni raised his eyebrows: "Thank you, I will accept it without mercy."

"Drink." Leonardo poured the wine for Reni again and raised his glass to drink it first. Reni looked at Leonardo's actions and raised his glass in response and drank it all.

Leonardo pointed to the envelope and said: "Sugon Industry has my shares, and there is an invitation letter in it. To be honest, Sugon Industry has indeed come up with something, and only after the final test did it get very good results. , during this time the final improvements are being made, and I am also looking for a suitable buyer for Shuguang Industry.”

"Reni, if you are interested, you may want to go and have a look. I have sent out many invitations through my connections, but I still hope that TMC can become Sugon Industry's largest customer. What kind of forces can we rely on at the border to make Sugon Industry The fastest growing company will definitely be TMC and there is no other choice.”

"Invitation letter..." Reni glanced at the golden envelope and said to Leonardo: "Okay, I will definitely go."

……………………

Mathias and Xiao Yun were in another room at this time, and all the guys who were gambling at the same card table with Xiao Yun not long ago were also in this place.

Xiao Yun enjoyed the black tea carefully brewed by Butler Mathias, and ate the afternoon tea like a cow chewing peonies without grace. Mathias watched one mouth after another and kept shaking his head beside him.

The fierce man standing nearby scratched his head and was a little puzzled: "BOSS, why do you have to let Leonardo take the initiative to invite people from TMC to perform this play?"

Xiao Yun was busy eating and motioned for Mathias to explain. Mathias looked at the tough guy and shook his head: "Truth is the best, and exposing something to them will make them suspicious." It has become more and more. Now they will suspect that Dawn Industry may be the one that provides new machines to the resistance, but soon they will suspect that a lucky black market arms dealer has been hacked and our Dawn Industry has obtained the technology. "

"But then they will bring more ideas when they see that our Sugon Industries' airframes are completely different from the resistance's F-series airframes. But by that time they have become our Shuguang Industries' largest customers, and they will think that Sugon Industries' Maybe it was sent by forces from other star regions to occupy the market, but in any case, as long as we reach close cooperation with TMC, all doubts and directions will become irrelevant."

"Furthermore, Lord Xiao Yun also needs a position where he can communicate with TMC on an equal footing. The opportunity to forge other star regions to develop incognito will also bring more associations to them. Maybe now they have begun to think that Lord Xiao Yun may be someone A direct descendant of a large chaebol family."

"It's not so easy for TMC to figure out the situation if it's true or false, and that's what's best for us."

Xiao Yun took a sip of tea to rinse his mouth and said: "I don't think it's necessary to go to so much trouble. I just dragged him back to get the transformation done. But Mathias, you are responsible for these things and I am free to you."

"Not everyone can solve the problem with just numbing it." Mathias said helplessly: "We now need more conventional, healthy and normal means to develop ourselves. In that way, numbing can solve many things, but we will also There aren’t a lot of opportunities to really step up to the plate.”
