Chapter 461: Undercover Operation! The Mechanical Association's Sales Pitch!

Chapter 461: Undercover Operation! The Mechanical Association's Sales Pitch!

Dong Muchun hung up the phone, perplexed, and glanced at the caller ID with some confusion. She couldn't quite understand why Su Ping on the other end of the line had reacted so strangely.

Moreover, he insisted on having her go to the Heart of All Souls at this very moment.

But it made sense; this matter was no small issue and was indeed of great importance.

Dong Muchun didn't waste any time. She immediately activated Yun Sakura's personal armored mechanical beast and flew directly from the Pingyun Corporation's office building into the sky.

During the time it took for Dong Muchun to arrive, Su Ping and Wu Kuang stared at each other.

Neither of them had expected that they were still preparing to deal with the Golden Heart's enterprise, and yet the other party had taken the initiative to come knocking on their door.

Dong Muchun's appearance dashed their plan to go and see Fatty.

The two didn't waste any time with unnecessary words. In less than ten minutes, Dong Muchun's figure knocked on the door of the reception room.

"Su Ping, you called me over in such a hurry..."

Before Dong Muchun could finish her sentence, she spotted a special figure sitting on the sofa in the reception room.

Although others might be startled by the figure's attire, they would never guess their identity.

However, as the eldest daughter of the Dong family and one of the few Holy Spirit Rank Beastmasters in Dragon City, she was undoubtedly very familiar with their appearances.

Dong Muchun blinked her eyes but didn't say anything more. Instead, she had a premonition that this visit was somehow out of the ordinary.

Sure enough, the Tyrant Saint, whom she had only seen in pictures and never met in person, stood up and smiled slightly upon seeing her arrival.

"Miss Dong, please, have a seat!"

Dong Muchun was flattered and nodded, but she didn't make a fuss. She was well-traveled and had met many people. A Holy Spirit Rank Beastmaster, though important in the Dong family, wouldn't cause her to lose her composure.

"Senior Tyrant Saint, I didn't expect you to come to Linzhou. I didn't prepare anything..."

Before Dong Muchun could finish, Wu Kuang narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"You've already prepared the best gift."

Dong Muchun was taken aback and glanced at Su Ping, but he didn't say anything more.

He was just a deputy leader. In truth, the one who would take action was the person before her. In a sense, the one who appointed him as deputy leader was merely giving him a legitimate excuse to find opportunities.

Without waiting for Dong Muchun to ask, Wu Kuang spoke up.

"Miss Dong, I heard your conversation with Su Ping on the phone. To be honest, Su Ping and I are members of the Silver Chain Bureau, a special confidential organization. Our primary responsibility is to deal with companies and enterprises within Dragon City that have joined foreign organizations like the Golden Heart.

Oh, the so-called Golden Circle is just a cover name used by domestic companies that have joined the Golden Heart."

Upon hearing this, Dong Muchun's eyelids twitched rapidly.

She silently thanked her lucky stars.

At the same time, she felt extremely fortunate for her initial decision.

As the former controller of the Heaven Cloud Group in Jianghai Province, she was known as the Dong Queen in the business world.

How could she not know about the Golden Circle? In fact, on many occasions, people had approached her, asking if she would join the Golden Circle.

She had some understanding of the Golden Circle.

However, due to the Dong family's connections, Dong Muchun didn't want to associate Heaven Cloud too closely with other powers.

After all, at that time, the control over the aristocratic families was extremely strict.

So, out of caution, even though the conditions offered by those people were very generous, she didn't act rashly because the conditions were too good.

After shifting her focus away from Heaven Cloud's affairs and taking control of Pingyun Corporation, her ties with the Dong family significantly weakened.

Moreover, with Su Ping's backing, Pingyun's operations in Jianghai Province became much smoother.

So, when the Golden Circle extended this invitation, Dong Muchun was still very interested. That's why she called Su Ping to ask for his opinion.

But she never expected the outcome—the Golden Heart and the Golden Circle would be caught in one fell swoop, or some big fish would be caught. That would be the best!"

"Catch them all in one net?"

Dong Muchun was taken aback but quickly assumed her role.

"Senior, if that's the case, there might be some twists and turns ahead."

I don't know much, but I do know that many of the members of the Golden Circle are well-known figures in various corporate groups. If they were all caught in one go, wouldn't it have a huge impact on the economy if these companies were to shut down?

"No! At any time, a mature corporate group will not be paralyzed or frozen just because of the absence of a certain individual. Such a company would probably not even catch the eye of the Golden Circle.

Moreover, these are not things I need to consider! I was originally thinking of using some means to capture some high-level personnel, but now..."

After a brief pause, Wu Kuang continued, "Miss Dong, are you willing to make contact with the Golden Circle?"

"This..."

Although Wu Kuang's words were quite implicit, it was obvious that the meaning behind his words was clear—he wanted Dong Muchun and Pingyun Corporation to become an undercover agent for the Golden Circle!

This kind of job always comes with great danger.

Naturally, Dong Muchun was unwilling.

Su Ping also thought for a moment and said, "Senior, isn't this too dangerous? Moreover, if the Golden Heart does have some unspeakable secrets, wouldn't Pingyun be affected by an undeserved disaster?"

His opinion was something that even Wu Kuang had to consider seriously.

Wu Kuang thought for a moment and said,

"The main purpose of the Silver Chain Bureau is not only to eliminate these companies that have joined the Golden Heart but also to investigate what the Golden Heart's true intentions are.

Of course, if Miss Dong joins, she will definitely not be sent to the other side of the ocean to participate in the Golden Heart's initiation ceremony in the Eagle Nation. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the inner workings of the Golden Circle.

Soul-searching methods are, after all, a last resort. But it's not impossible that some of our Dragon Nation's Golden Circle core members have already taken precautions against this. So, if possible, it would be better to have a trustworthy person join them.

When the time comes, whether it's the completion of the mission or any additional gains, I will mention Miss Dong's contributions and merits when reporting to the Holy Dragon Lord."

As soon as these words were spoken, Dong Muchun's eyes lit up.

This promise was like a beacon of hope for Dong Muchun.

Even in the future, the Dong family could break free from their previous constraints and have a whole new world of opportunities.

In the Dragon Nation, the orders of that person were like a double-edged sword, both a blessing and a curse.

However, the price to be paid for such an action was indeed beyond ordinary imagination.

So, Su Ping still said, "It's a bit dangerous, so let's forget it! If you, Senior Tyrant Saint, feel that soul-searching is not safe enough, I can talk to Cold Lord and ask him to help."

Cold Lord was a Necromancer, an expert in the realm of souls, and he had unique insights into soul-searching.

Wu Kuang continued, "There will definitely be some danger, but with me here, you don't need to worry too much. I will provide you with protective mechanical devices that you can activate at will. At the same time, if we have to face something like the Judgment Mirror, a means to detect the truth or lies, I will also provide countermeasures to minimize the impact on you! At the same time, your identity will be kept confidential, and no one but the three of us will know.

Moreover, on this trip to Jianghai, apart from a few people who know, no one is aware of my presence, and no one will be able to trace it back to me!"

He didn't pay attention to Su Ping but instead turned his gaze to Dong Muchun.

Dong Muchun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she fell into a dilemma.

It was clear that after knowing each other for so long, Su Ping could tell that this woman was truly moved.

Then, Wu Kuang added the final straw to this offer:

"At the same time, in the future, when all the companies that have joined the Golden Heart in Jianghai, or even the entire Dragon Nation, are divided, Pingyun Corporation will have priority in acquiring them. For a portion of the special harvest, they will also have priority purchasing rights."

As soon as these words were spoken, Dong Muchun's eyes lit up.

She held forty percent of the shares in Pingyun, an even higher percentage than when she was with Tianyun Group.

Moreover, although Dong Muchun was not the largest shareholder in Pingyun, in reality, she was the one who truly managed the company.

The vast Pingyun Corporation was steered and operated by Dong Muchun.

Pingyun was even more of a labor of love for Dong Muchun compared to Tianyun Group.

With this condition, Dong Muchun, who was extremely interested in this aspect, didn't even need to think and directly agreed with a firm bite:

"Okay!"

Su Ping didn't say anything.

In fact, even without Wu Kuang's promise, Su Ping guessed that these conditions would still be his to fulfill.

But with this connection, things would undoubtedly become much more convenient.

It was only natural.

However, what Su Ping didn't expect was...

After a brief pause, Wu Kuang turned to Su Ping:

"Since that's the case, Su Ping, you don't need to take action! When the investigation is complete, and we're ready to strike, you can just wait at home to authenticate the results. As for the rest, Miss Dong and I will handle it."

Su Ping blinked. He had originally thought that they would be heading towards the Fire King Corporation.

But now, it seemed like he didn't have to do anything?

However, who's going to give me the money I need?

"Senior, how long do you estimate it will take to see results? I'm waiting for your triumphant return!" Su Ping asked.

Wu Kuang thought for a moment. "It probably won't take too long. Pingyun Corporation is very aggressive, and given this momentum, the Golden Circle will definitely take it very seriously. Moreover, the Golden Circle is unaware that the Dragon Nation is preparing to take action against them.

So, once Miss Dong represents Pingyun's decision to join the Golden Circle, they will quickly accept Miss Dong into the core layer. As long as we figure out why the Golden Heart is acting this way, we can take action! I estimate it will take a few months! It depends on Miss Dong's progress! You have a mechanical pet, right?

To ensure Miss Dong's safety, I can equip your pet with two mini-robots with Imperial-level combat power! And if any issues arise, I'll be there at the first moment!"

It must be said that Wu Kuang had prepared for every possible scenario.

Then, there was no more news about Su Ping.

Fortunately, within the Heart of Wood, unlike the other places in the Heart of All Souls, there were indeed very few people coming and going. Previously, this person had delivered the package, and no one paid much attention. It was evident that this time, the visit was kept absolutely confidential.

However, to ensure his own information, Wu Kuang quickly confirmed his residence for the upcoming period.

Indeed, it was the construction of the Mechanical Heart based on Fatty's foundation.

This also meant that with this person's contact, not only might Fatty make some progress, but the Mechanical Heart might also create some more interesting features.

But, there was still that problem.

Where's the money?

Just as I was about to make some big money, I turned around and became a well-wisher again.

What should I do now?"

However, Su Ping soon discovered that the Tyrant Saint's arrival not only failed to solve the financial problem but also led to some new issues for the already precarious finances of the Heart of All Souls.

These designs were primarily used to test the effect. Some of the expenses were too high.

After this person's arrival, he shared some ideas:

"Su Ping, the mini-gravity chamber I gave you before can be connected to your pet's framework. You can use gravity to train your pet, and it's an essential tool for those who focus on close combat training!

So one might not be enough. According to the scale of your Heart of All Souls, you can set up ten of them. The Mechanical Association has ready-made gravity chambers, and the assembly of these portable mini-gravity chambers only costs 150 million.

After that, you only need power resources to use them, and it's a highly profitable investment!"

"Su Ping, the Mechanical Association has a special electromagnetic neural muscle stimulation chamber. You can use electromagnetic energy to stimulate the nerves and muscles of these pets, allowing them to reach their limits or even break through their limits in a short time. It also accelerates the improvement of these pets' realms to some extent.

It's not expensive. The Mechanical Association can send people to assemble it for you, and it only costs 80 million. However, subsequent maintenance and care will incur some costs..."

"Su Ping, recently, the people below have developed a mechanical virtual audio-visual presentation machine. It can turn movies and TV shows into a fully immersive 4D experience for viewers.

I personally watched it once, and the effect was truly remarkable, especially for films with impressive special effects.

Although viewers cannot influence the plot, the experience is more realistic. However, the cost is too high, so promoting it nationwide in cinemas is a bit unrealistic. But I think you can set one up in your Heart of All Souls, and it's not expensive. The accompanying machines and decorations only cost 20 million.

Each movie and TV show needs to be re-recorded onto video discs or film reels, which incurs some costs...

Of course, there's an even more expensive mechanical intelligent fantasy scene creator. It can directly convert text content into these films and TV shows.

It's better than those brainless directors' works, and the viewing experience is also better. But that thing is expensive, costing several hundred million."

"Su Ping..."

If it weren't for the occasional mention of Dong Muchun, Su Ping would have suspected that this person had started his career in sales.

Damn, is he promoting the Mechanical Association's new products here? The critical thing is that his suggestions are indeed quite attractive.

Unfortunately, he couldn't solve one problem.

No money!
