massive weapon processing platform was operating in an overloaded state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-intensity energy flows surged like blood vessels in thick pipes, making a low hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless automated mechanical arms danced on the platform, dismantling, classifying, and smelting metal ship hulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were warship keels up to several kilometers long, precisely segmented by giant cutting beams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy composite armor was sent into high-temperature furnaces to be re-refined into basic alloy ingots, while precision parts and energy cores containing the cutting-edge technology of the mechanical legion were separated and sent to the module research base for detailed dismantling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bustling engineering work wove a picture full of industrial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, A-Lan stood in the data room in the center of the base, checking the engineering progress information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This arsenal under his feet was built by Star Net to deal with potential future crises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all war weapons were built here, they would be sent to the war deployment base facing Earth, ready to deal with arrival wars at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden mechanical legion crisis had now been officially lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This invasion, which seemed like a disaster, ultimately turned into a gift in an unexpected way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Star Net did not intend to store these war weapons to prepare for when war came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Star Net's logical assessment, retaining the war attributes of the mechanical legion was already meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth, and even the entire solar system, now had the Fate race as allies, undertaking the power of protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even they couldn't deal with the invasion crisis, then the existence of this mechanical legion would just be cannon fodder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it existed or not would not affect the direction of the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Star Net decided to dismantle the steel torrent left by the mechanical legion into nutrients to nourish the Earth Alliance civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the monitoring screen showed where the recovered resources were flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the monitoring screens showed that part of the basic alloy was sent to the \"Ark\" base in Earth's orbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the transit nodes for transporting goods to Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goods sold or provided for free to various races on Earth were mostly built, assembled, and activated here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was equivalent to an efficient \"orbital foundry,\" saving the long transportation time from the moon to Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the project with the highest priority in this base was using this batch of special alloys to upgrade and mass-produce the latest virtual game pods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legacy of the mechanical legion contained a large amount of spiritual materials that were very precious to Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Net formulated a resource consumption project for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using these spiritual materials, integrate a simple spiritual-nourishing rune array inside the new generation of game pods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was revolutionary; it could ensure that players' physical activity remained in the best state during long-term gaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This batch of game pods didn't even need nutrient solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just relying on the continuous release of spiritual materials inside, it could ensure that players stayed online for a long time without their bodies being affected in any way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the players' physical fitness could be slowly improved subtly during the volatilization of spiritual materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Net's purpose in doing this was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To allow players to stay online for longer, providing more help for the development of the player camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, various races on Earth now had a huge demand for new game pods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon's resources were already limited, and the legacy given by the mechanical legion just solved the urgent need, and most of the materials would be invested in the game pod building project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moon Eclipse race would not retain the cutting-edge technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be gradually shared with various races of the Earth Alliance after the assessment was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quickly browsing the progress information of various projects scrolling on the data platform, A-Lan turned and left the data room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this industrial zone was nominally under his jurisdiction, the processing flow was strictly supervised by intelligent robots directly controlled by Star Net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he was there or not would not have any impact on efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made him decide to go offline temporarily was the routine notification issued by Star Net: attend the monthly administrator meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an administrator of the Moon Eclipse race, he naturally needed to attend on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meeting, thinking that he hadn't gone offline to walk around for a long time, he stopped by to take a stroll in his jurisdiction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more of a routine inspection within the scope of his duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, it was also to understand what exactly happened during the mechanical legion invasion at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This information could not be obtained in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Net wouldn't explain to him via bullet comments, and the vast majority of players on the player forum were also in a daze, not knowing what happened at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the Moon Eclipse race members who obtained qualifications basically didn't go offline and knew very little about the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the problems in the reality layer had to be understood in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the routine inspection, A-Lan returned to his personal lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skillfully took off his administrator attire and changed into a set of comfortable and close-fitting high-level neural sensing game clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a slight suction sound, the game clothes fit perfectly with his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying into the game pod, dizziness struck immediately...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slight dizziness retreated like a Black Black Tide, replaced by an indescribable feeling of physical and mental immersion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What came into view was a boundless sky as clear as sapphire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm but not scorching sun fell down, bringing a hint of warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salty and fresh sea breeze brushed his cheeks, bringing the faint fragrance of flowers on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his ears was the vibrant sound of the distant pier, which also symbolized the increasingly prosperous chamber of commerce construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a sweetness and freshness filled his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the reality world, even the air without spiritual energy that felt stuffy after layers of purification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every breath here seemed to be able to wash the soul, bringing a comfortable feeling that surged through the whole body, and even his thinking seemed to become clearer and sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't feel anything after staying in the monster world for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as he had been offline, it would be particularly strong after returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward the pier at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he was preparing to go to the Flying Sea Area in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This offline meeting clarified an idea, and he began to expand the business coverage of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce in the three major sea areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trade customers should not be limited to the Mingwu race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flying race and Shuyan could also be trade objects of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three-party melee, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce could completely resell war materials to the three forces and earn high war profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were when he first contacted the Mingwu race, he certainly wouldn't have such an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce at that time did not show any war power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Mingwu race was annoyed, they might take action against the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce at any time and wipe the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce out of the Cangxing Sea Area at all costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something happened a while ago that made him feel the time was ripe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, General General General Yeming found him on the island, hoping that the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce could provide war resources at a \"friendship price\" to support the Mingwu race's war in the Flying Sea Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And stated that the better the Mingwu race developed, the more the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce could benefit from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refused this request without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his strategic perspective, the cooperation with the Mingwu race was an expedient measure based on current interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce must maintain absolute neutrality and independence, and under no circumstances could it become a vassal or cheap supplier of any race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew very well the operating logic of the monster world where the strong prey on the weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>General General Yeming dared to ask for a discount in the name of \"friendship\" today; once successful, he would dare to ask for more tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the Mingwu race, almost all forces in the monster world were like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was never any reciprocity between races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One concession would be seen as a signal of weakness, attracting more greedy covetousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agreeing was a manifestation of admitting defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, General General Yeming seemed to be negotiating, but in essence, it was a secret probe into the foundation of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>General General Yeming's seemingly angry tough performance had the deep purpose of testing whether the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce really had a powerful backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It clearly understood that a force with a strong foundation would never make any concessions to the Mingwu race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing through the doorway, A-Lan was incomparably tough from beginning to end and did not give an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never give General General Yeming any opportunity to push for more, and he held the initiative in his own hands throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the negotiation, a seemingly accidental \"coincidence\" occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said to be a coincidence, but it was actually a layout he had prepared in advance: the appearance of Throat of Fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking Throat of Fate to meet at this time to discuss the construction project of the Destiny Casino was not just to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many problems could be discussed remotely through video connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why Throat of Fate was asked to come in person was the core purpose: borrowing momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the background information supplemented by research-party players on the forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key turning point that allowed the Mingwu race to complete the counter-trend reversal and finally defeat the Wangyu race was a game of equal value between General General Yeming and the Fate race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>General General Yeming's bet was the \"Mingwu Rule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When players discussed background information, they talked most about General General Yeming's courage and madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he saw a deeper piece of information: General General Yeming had a relatively detailed understanding of the foundation possessed by the Fate race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Believing that the Fate race had the ability to give him hope for a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to take the rule to the Fate race land to gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This intelligence was truly a surprise in his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cooperation before this, General General Yeming was always probing the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose of doing so was obvious: it could not determine what the foundation of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce had never shown any external war power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These vague pieces of information were not enough to completely deter this general who had seen strong winds and waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of Throat of Fate made him see the possibility of borrowing momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what he wanted to borrow was not just Throat of Fate's personal \"momentum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was even more about borrowing the great momentum of the Fate race represented behind Throat of Fate's \"Fate Master\" identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To beat General General Yeming with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let it have enough awe for the foundation and energy of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, and completely extinguish any unrealistic fantasies in its heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ask, what could be more capable of highlighting the unfathomable foundation of the chamber of commerce than the \"Fate Master\" of the Fate race personally descending on Dream Island and discussing important cooperation projects with the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce in an equal or even slightly active posture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact of this scene was more deterrent than thousands of words of rhetoric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not inform Throat of Fate about this in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although if he said it directly, Throat of Fate wouldn't refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the positioning of both sides would change because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the circumstances at that time, Throat of Fate and he were not familiar with each other, having only had one private chat exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Throat of Fate took the initiative to come to the door, wanting to discuss the construction project of the Destiny Casino on Dream Island and the request to acquire customers from the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The positioning of both sides changed, becoming: Throat of Fate had something to ask of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he chose a time and sent an invitation to Throat of Fate to come to the island to talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of posture, he gave Throat of Fate an opportunity to strive for cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, if he took the initiative to ask Throat of Fate to come to help in order to deter General General Yeming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nature would completely change into him having something to ask of Throat of Fate, owing a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same meeting, but the way it was initiated was different, so the status and right to speak of both sides were completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Throat of Fate arrived as scheduled, unintentionally perfectly playing the role of a \"powerful cooperation party,\" making his plan a great success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final result was that Throat of Fate successfully promoted the project cooperation in the negotiation with him, and also owed him a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And General General Yeming also had a new understanding of the foundation of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce because of the appearance of Throat of Fate, brain-filling many possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he, without paying anything, achieved the effect of killing two birds with one stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this carefully arranged \"coincidence\" also paved the way for the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce's subsequent strategic layout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the deterrence of Throat of Fate had achieved the expected effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Successfully making General General Yeming and even the Mingwu race behind it re-evaluate the weight of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, then next... it should be the turn of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to push for more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This concept actually existed very early, but the timing was not ripe before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always believed that the trade customers of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce could also be the Flying race and Shuyan race who were in a three-party melee with the Mingwu race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also had huge war needs and resource consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also had various types of spiritual resources in reserve, which could be resold to the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and then listed by their Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to players in the trading house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flying race and Shuyan were forces that mastered rules, and they were also potential high-quality customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as this could be achieved, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce could rely on its neutral status and powerful sea area logistics network to resell war materials to all three warring parties at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let the flames of war burn more vigorously, and the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce could earn considerable war profits from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what the Mingwu race thought, it was no longer important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the environment of the monster world where the strong prey on the weak, humility and conservatism had no meaning, and would only be seen as weak and bullyable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was time to be tough, one must show crushing toughness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was time to push for more, one must move forward without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survival logic between races was actually very cruel; all forces instinctively feared the strong and devoured the weak without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, every action and every decision of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce must be worthy of the image of \"unfathomable foundation\" he created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by continuously expanding the territory in this way and greedily grabbing every visible interest could it bring a steady stream of increasingly growing development assistance for the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce itself and even the entire player camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it was time for the trade flag of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to be inserted into broader war lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, Flying race main island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heart of Molten Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here it was completely different from the humid sea breeze of Dream Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was scorching, filled with a faint smell of sulfur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth presented a dark red tone, and scorching lava flows surged from time to time in the cracked gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The island was built with multiple incubation pods, connecting to multiple cultivation civilization worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the process was a bit tortuous, A-Lan still successfully boarded the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by a Flying race warrior with a tall figure and an analysis name of \"Shield Spirit Root,\" he passed through the dangerous passage surrounded by lava rivers and was brought to a magnificent hall carved out from inside the volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the hall, the huge throne was cast from dark lava and the bones of unknown giant beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the throne, a figure slowly raised his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was more burly than ordinary Flying race members, covered with scales that looked like flowing scorching heat, and every breath would bring out sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Iron Iron Face was majestic, and a scar ran through his left eye, adding a bit of evil spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no weapon in his hands, his fists hung down naturally, and the energy fluctuation dissipated from his palms made the surrounding space slightly distorted due to the high temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the leader of the Flying race: Chiyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More accurately, the new Flying race leader who inherited the name of the previous leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous generation of Flying race high-level members had long turned into nutrients, becoming the wedding dress for the life transformation of the core members of this generation of Flying race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a choice of a race in desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let the previous generation become the cornerstone of the next generation's growth, and go further by stepping on their corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader Chiyan.\" A-Lan greeted calmly, then introduced himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, A-Lan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyan looked at A-Lan with burning eyes, his low voice roaring like rolling thunder, shaking A-Lan's eardrums:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you, the force in the Cangxing Sea Area that provides war resources for the Mingwu race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Chiyan's scrutinizing gaze, A-Lan's expression did not change in the slightest, still calm and composed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The business of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is aimed at all potential cooperators. I came here this time, naturally, because I saw the broad cooperation prospects with the Flying race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cooperation?\" Chiyan's voice carried a hint of doubt, and the temperature in the hall fluctuated accordingly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You provide materials to all warring parties at the same time? Wouldn't the Mingwu race have objections to this?\" ===== CHAPTER 393 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",3207,"2026-06-17T19:19:05.266Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f0148dd520728349db0839ce6c8c99cb5d24c55b2808a1376c87e4fe99cea35c","monsters-have-arrived-chapter-372","monsters-have-arrived-chapter-370",373,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
