He had no way of contacting Lu Yin directly, so he could only ask Brother Li to help him find San Liang. Then, San Liang had used Director Si Hong's connections to find Director Xin Jiao.
The screen flickered, and a young face appeared in front of Yan. He respectfully said, "Shamrock Enterprises' Yan greets Alliance Master Lu."
Back in the black street, Lu Yin was not surprised that Yan had contacted him. This person's every move had been under Lu Yin's watch, especially through San Liang's instructions. "Yan?
The secretary of Shamrock Enterprises' Innerverse President? "
"I'm flattered that Alliance Master Lu has heard of me," Yan said with a smile. He was very polite and respectful.
Lu Yin replied, "I've heard of everyone in Shamrock Enterprises. After all, knowing your enemy is the key to victory."
Yan was astonished. "Enemy?
Why do you say that, Alliance Master Lu? "
"I don't like to beat around the bush," Lu Yin replied.
Yan's expression changed. "Alliance Master Lu, there are some misunderstandings between Shamrock Enterprises and you that I hope can be resolved."
Lu Yin took a sip of tea. "There's no rush. I have a question that I've always wanted to know."
Yan smiled. "Please ask."
Lu Yin looked at Yan. "From what I know, Shamrock Enterprises uncovers geniuses from all over the universe and nurtures them as seeds. Then, how are these seeds different from the spies planted in the various great powers?"
Yan's expression changed. "What do you mean, Alliance Master Lu?"
"I mean it literally. I'm more interested to know if there are any seeds in the Great Eastern Alliance," Lu Yin casually replied. Based on what he had experienced and what he had seen in the Astral Tree, he no longer considered Shamrock Enterprises a threat. The once mysterious and powerful organization that spanned across the universe was now at most on the same level as the Central Plane's Misty Cloud Sect. In terms of top experts, Shamrock Enterprises was not as powerful as the Misty Cloud Sect, but at least the Misty Cloud Sect had a half-ancestor.
After jumping to a certain height, everything that he had seen in the past seemed very short. This was what gave him the confidence to deal with Shamrock Enterprises.
A huge financial group?
The mysterious Leaf King?
So what?
Yan forced a smile onto his face. "Alliance Master Lu, you're overthinking things. Shamrock Enterprises' seeds are different from spies; we're open and aboveboard. For example, your former classmate, Darkvoid, didn't try to hide anything. He was one of Shamrock Enterprises' seeds, and Tu Bo from the Astral Combat Academy is also a seed."
Lu Yin nodded. "That's good. If my Great Eastern Alliance has any of your seeds, then it's best that you tell me as soon as possible. Otherwise, it'll easily lead to misunderstandings."
Yan politely replied, "It's precisely because I don't want to cause any misunderstandings that there are some things that I need to discuss with Alliance Leader Lu."
"Speak," Lu Yin said.
As the secretary of Shamrock Enterprises' Innerverse CEO, he was also a powerful Enlighter with a power level of over 400,000. Without the presence of an Emissary, he was basically a top-notch powerhouse. In this region of space, there weren't many Emissaries, so he was one of the top powerhouses. Very few people dared to speak to him in such a manner, and Lu Yin's attitude made him unhappy.
He forcefully suppressed his displeasure. Lu Yin's background in the Hall of Honor and his influence on Realm Mountain was something that even Shamrock Enterprises did not dare to directly oppose. This youth had even overturned the Daynight Flowzone and was a madman. It was best not to make an enemy out of such a person.
"We know that Yu Mu has caused losses to Alliance Master Lu and the Great Eastern Alliance. In response to these losses, Shamrock Enterprises has decided to punish Yu Mu internally and remove him from his position as CEO of the Outerverse. At the same time, we'll compensate the Great Eastern Alliance by doubling the resources that we've previously promised.
(This chapter is not finished, so please turn the page.)
If you're willing, you can use Shamrock Enterprises' resources as you wish, provided that it doesn't affect the company's normal operations. "Yan offered an attractive offer.
In truth, even the masters of the Innerverse's eight great flowzones would be tempted by this offer. Shamrock Enterprises had not even paid such a high price to bribe the directors and move their headquarters into Realm Mountain. This price could only be implemented if Leaf King agreed.
To date, Shamrock Enterprises had only offered such a high price to Lu Yin in exchange for reconciliation. This was the first time that they had shown enough sincerity.
However, Lu Yin rejected the offer. He was indeed tempted to use the company's resources as he wished, but if it did not affect the company's normal operations, then the resources that he could use would be very limited. He did not believe that Shamrock Enterprises would allow him to use them as he wished. Since they had offered such an offer, then they must have a way to deal with it. "Do you know how much trouble Yu Mu has caused for the mainland's shipping industry?
A single director is targeting the Great Eastern Alliance, and the losses caused are irreparable. "
Yan sighed. "That's right. Yu Mu has caused losses to the Great Eastern Alliance, and Shamrock Enterprises will do our best to compensate him. I hope that Alliance Master Lu can be magnanimous and not bicker with a nobody like him."
Once upon a time, Yu Mu had looked down on Lu Yin and given him a cosmic ring as compensation for a misunderstanding. At the time, he had been high and mighty, and he had even dragged En Ya through the void. To Lu Yin, that had been an insult, but now, this person was just a nobody.
"The above conditions remain unchanged. Think of a way to get Director Congying to stop targeting the mainland's shipping industry. Then, there will be no more misunderstandings between Shamrock Enterprises and me," Lu Yin said.
Yan was placed in a difficult position. If he could, he would have done so a long time ago. Director Congying was a stubborn person, and even Shamrock Enterprises could not change his mind. Yu Mu had also recognized this person. "Alliance Master Lu, you know Director Congying's personality. If even you cannot change his mind, then it will be even more difficult for us."
Lu Yin laughed. "Yu Mu, you'll only be demoted. Congying, you also said that it's difficult. I don't see Shamrock Enterprises' sincerity in resolving this misunderstanding.
Are you only offering some resources? "
"Alliance Master Lu, the conditions that we're offering you are the most generous that Shamrock Enterprises has ever offered. Please reconsider," Yan said in a low voice.
Lu Yin shook his head. "You guys should think it over carefully." He then hung up.
Ming Yan walked out from behind him. "Do you really want to become enemies with Shamrock Enterprises?"
Lu Yin replied, "It depends on the situation. How many resources do you think I'll get if I swallow Shamrock Enterprises?"
Ming Yan thought about it. "I don't know. Shamrock Enterprises has dominated the universe, and the amount of resources required to develop a seed is enough for a normal cultivator to cultivate all the way to the Explorer realm. That's not even mentioning the resources required to cultivate a seed. They control an unimaginable amount of resources."
"The more that's the case, the harder it will be to deal with them. I've heard that the Leaf King is very mysterious."
Lu Yin nodded. The Leaf King was the only person from Shamrock Enterprises that he was wary of. If he really wanted to become enemies with the Leaf King, then he could only leave it to his senior.
"Right, I want to give you a gift." Ming Yan suddenly thought of something and excitedly pulled Lu Yin away.
Lu Yin was confused. "What gift?"
"Your favorite," Ming Yan said mysteriously.
Lu Yin blinked. His favorite?
The black street was huge, and if Ming Yan controlled the Unaging Old Man, then she would control the wealth that the Unaging Old Man had accumulated over the years.
The darker and more violent a place was, the more exaggerated the accumulation of wealth would be.
Lu Yin was stunned when he saw the mountain of star essence in front of him. There must be more than a billion star essence here!
"What's this?" Lu Yin was stunned.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Ming Yan smiled proudly. "What do you think? Do you like it?"
Lu Yin subconsciously nodded.
Ming Yan was even happier now. "This is what the Unaging Old Man accumulated over the years. Not only did it come from the black street, but it also came from his position as a director. It's a pity that the old man was too pretentious, and he didn't take much of the money. He also spent a lot of money on the brothels and did everything he could to get involved with various powers. Otherwise, he wouldn't only have this much."
Lu Yin understood. For example, the Blaze Realm occupied a third of the Blazing Mist Flowzone, but they only had so many star essence left. The Unaging Old Man had established the brothels and controlled the black street, so the more he obtained, the more he spent. It was already quite good for him to have so many star essence left.
"A total of 1.36 billion," Ming Yan reported, which made Lu Yin kiss her. He had suddenly received a large sum of resources, and he now had the money to upgrade his external items.
With the addition of these resources, the amount of star essence in his cosmic ring had reached a staggering 2.4 billion star essence.
"Brother Lu, if you need money, Yan 'er can sell off many of the Unaging Old Man's businesses and reduce the brothels' expenses. We can gather a large sum in a short amount of time."
Lu Yin hugged Ming Yan. "Not for now. Thank you, Yan 'er."
Ming Yan lowered her head and smiled. Suddenly, her hair turned white.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. The white-haired Ming Yan that he hadn't seen in a long time had appeared.
Ming Yan stared coldly at Lu Yin. "Take your hand away."
Lu Yin coughed and released her. "Um, why are you here?"
Ming Yan snorted. "Can't I be here?
This is my territory. "
Lu Yin stopped talking and continued to store the star essence in his cosmic ring.
Aside from star essence, the Unaging Old Man had many other things. There were even power vessels, but they were very weak. Even if he upgraded the materials, they wouldn't be enough for Lu Yin.
Ming Yan brought Lu Yin to a corner. "These are all materials that I don't understand. Some are from the universe's trash, and some were collected by the Unaging Old Man himself. He doesn't understand them, so take a look and see if there's anything you need."
Lu Yin looked at the materials in the corner. He didn't recognize any of them, but if the monkey was here, he might be able to recognize some of them.
Still, it didn't matter. He wanted to create a new set of universal armor, and he needed all sorts of materials. The more precious, the better. Lu Yin recalled the situation when he had created the armor, and he decided to break down these materials first.
"I don't mind having too many materials," Lu Yin said.
Ming Yan glanced at him. "Then I'll go to the black street and help you find some more." Lu Yin was about to refuse, but she continued, "This is the Neoverse's garbage dump. You can occasionally find ancient materials here."
"Oh, okay," Lu Yin replied as he watched the white-haired Ming Yan leave.
There were only a few people in the universe who could allow Lu Yin to use his die without worry. Ming Yan was one of them, but since she was leaving, Lu Yin didn't stop her. He really did need materials, and ancient materials were even better.
Some ancient materials could not be broken down by the current universe, but Lu Yin could.
Lu Yin raised his hand, and his die appeared. He tapped it, causing it to slowly spin before finally stopping at Enhance.
This time, Lu Yin didn't take off his cosmic ring. He rolled Enhance and accepted it. To be honest, there was no faster way to obtain information and cultivation experience than Enhance. Back in the Lockbreaker World, he had thought about continuously rolling the die and absorbing the experiences of powerful Lockbreakers. However, since they were both in the Lockbreaker World, the range was too small, and he wasn't confident.
