Chapter 187
🕑 Added 2024-06-04 04:00:03 +0000 UTCNo matter in which world, strength is the foundation of everything.
If the Star Alliance Conference cannot bring substantive help to Lin Yuan, there is no need to waste energy on it.
"Should I inquire about it?"
Lin Yuan finished today's cultivation and connected his consciousness to the virtual world.
A personal space.
A burly old man with a red nose was leisurely sitting in front of a dining table, occasionally picking up the wine jug in front of him and taking a sip, his face filled with enjoyment.
Just at this moment.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
"Hahaha, Brother Thirteen, come over, this wine is rare and precious. I can't afford it outside, so I can only drink it in the virtual world."
The red-nosed old man immediately beckoned.
"Brother Shi Feng, every time I see you, you're drinking." Lin Yuan walked over and sat opposite the red-nosed old man.
Red-nosed old man Shi Feng is a good friend that Lin Yuan made in the circle of founders, and also a founder of an evolutionary path.
Because both of them are in the "Star Alliance", the red-nosed old man Shi Feng often invites Lin Yuan to drink.
As time went by, the two became familiar with each other.
Compared with Lin Yuan, Shi Feng is much older and has lived for tens of thousands of years. His citizen level has also reached level six.
"Wine is a good thing, that kind of feeling, neither drunk nor sober." Red-nosed old man Shi Feng sighed.
With his strength, as long as he had a thought, he could sober up. But why should he be sober? Isn't it good to be immersed in a drunken state?
"Good wine."
Lin Yuan picked up a glass, tasted it slightly, and nodded slightly.
The wine in the virtual world belongs to pure luxury items. Many magical effects exist in the wines of reality.
Such as improving the physical body. Nourishing the soul. Or healing injuries and so on.
But in the virtual world, wine is only left with its taste. Therefore, the wine in the virtual world is much cheaper than in reality.
Just like the wine Lin Yuan just drank, named 'Dream Wine', it can make one's soul purer. In the real world, a glass is worth at least a billion civilized coins.
But in the virtual world, it's only ten million per glass, a hundred times cheaper.
"Alright, Brother Thirteen, what do you want from me?"
After chatting for a while, Shi Feng took the initiative to ask.
Thirteen is the name Lin Yuan gave to himself in the world of founders.
"I want to inquire about the Star Alliance Conference." Lin Yuan asked directly.
Although Lin Yuan is not very interested in such conferences, he still wants to hear Shi Feng's thoughts.
Both being level six citizens, Shi Feng has lived for tens of thousands of years and is much stronger in terms of connections and insight than Lin Yuan.
"The Star Alliance Conference?"
"Oh, it's time for the Star Alliance Conference again."
Shi Feng's expression suddenly became enlightened.
"Brother Shi Feng, do you think it's necessary to participate in the Star Alliance Conference?" Lin Yuan expressed his doubts.
"Is it necessary to participate?" Shi Feng suddenly became energetic. "Of course, why not seize the opportunity to get treasures for free?"
"Free?" Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled.
Is the Star Alliance so wealthy that they give valuable treasures to every level six citizen participating in the conference?
"That's right."
"Brother Thirteen, you're still young. You've just been promoted to level six citizen, so you're not familiar with the rules here."
A smile appeared on Shi Feng's face.
"The purpose of the Star Alliance Conference is to resolve conflicts between many star domains within the alliance. But how to resolve them?"
"Such as a rare resource planet appearing at the junction of two star domains, who should it belong to?"
"Or the resources allocated by human civilization are only enough for three star domains to use, how should we choose?"
Shi Feng said with a tsk tsk.
"Yes, who should it belong to?"
Lin Yuan also became interested. Such problems are difficult to have clear boundaries. Even if the three goddesses intervene, giving to one side would inevitably offend the other.
Should they split the resource planet in half, with one half for each?
"It depends on us."
Shi Feng smiled and said, "At the Star Alliance Conference, conflicts between star domains will be brought to the table, and ultimately decided by our votes."
"The side with the most votes wins."
"So that's how it is." Lin Yuan suddenly realized.
Of course, the conflicts brought to the Star Alliance Conference are those where both sides have valid arguments.
The conflicts that can be resolved relatively easily have already been decided by the three goddesses.
"So, the voting rights of us level six citizens are very precious."
Shi Feng hinted.
"Very precious?" Lin Yuan looked at Shi Feng.
"Because the two star domains involved in the conflict will pay a huge price to please us, hoping that we will vote for them in the conference."
Shi Feng said.
"I understand."
Lin Yuan nodded.
In short.
When encountering things that even the three goddesses cannot decide, or in other words, no matter which side wins, it does not affect the overall situation of human civilization.
Then it is left to higher-level citizens to decide.
"Moreover, after each Star Alliance Conference, we higher-level citizens will hold several exchange meetings while we are still there, to exchange the resources and treasures we need."
Red-nosed Shi Feng continued.
Although the Human Civilization Alliance has a dedicated shopping app to sell all kinds of treasures.
But some precious and rare treasures are often in short supply, and these exchange meetings are for these rare and precious treasures.
"That's not bad."
Lin Yuan thought of the weapons and treasures he obtained when his Yang Spirit went to the alien battlefield, as well as the inheritance of the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin.
Many of them are things he can't use.
As for selling them directly to human civilization, that would be too much of a loss.
But they could be disposed of through such exchange meetings.
"Do you want to participate now?"
Red-nosed Shi Feng asked.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nodded.
His lack of interest in the Star Alliance Conference was premised on it not being helpful to him. But now, hearing Shi Feng's description, for level six citizens like them, participating in the Star Alliance Conference could be very profitable.
"Hahahahaha."
Red-nosed Shi Feng burst into laughter.
"By the way, Brother Thirteen, do you need me to introduce you to those star domains that need votes?"
Red-nosed Shi Feng asked.
If Lin Yuan didn't have any star domains he wanted to vote for, he could completely 'sell' his votes to those star domains that needed them at a high price.
"Thank you, Brother Shi Feng."
Lin Yuan said seriously upon hearing this.
This kind of matchmaking is not something ordinary evolvers can do; it requires a wide network of contacts.
"No need to thank me."
"We're friends."
Shi Feng waved his hand and then said, "Wait for me for a moment, Brother Thirteen."
After Shi Feng finished speaking.
His figure disappeared.
Obviously, he went to contact someone.
Lin Yuan sat down and waited for a while.
After a moment.
Red-nosed Shi Feng appeared again.
In addition, there was a young man next to him.
"This is Brother Thirteen. Just talk to Brother Thirteen about the matters of your star domain." Red-nosed Shi Feng said casually.
"Mr. Thirteen."
The young man bowed slightly to Lin Yuan. "My name is Nadan, from the Moonwatch Star Domain."
"This time, the conflict between our Moonwatch Star Domain and the Golden Dragon Star Domain will be brought up at the Star Alliance Conference."
"At that time, I hope Mr. Thirteen can vote for our Moonwatch Star Domain."
After the young man Nadan finished speaking, he respectfully placed a piece of white paper on the dining table.
"As long as Mr. Thirteen agrees, the treasures and resources on this paper will be your reward."
Nadan bowed slightly to Red-nosed Shi Feng and then left the personal space.
"Tsk tsk, this Moonwatch Star Domain is also in a tough spot. Its strength is inferior to that of the Golden Dragon Star Domain, so it can only seek help everywhere like this."
Red-nosed Shi Feng sighed.
Some powerful star domains have cultivated many level six citizens. These level six citizens will naturally vote for their home star domains at the Star Alliance Conference.
In contrast, weak star domains have few level six citizens and can only pay a huge price to seek help from level six citizens of other star domains.
The three goddesses are aware of this situation but have not stopped it. The purpose is to motivate the major star domains to cultivate more high-level citizens.
High-level citizens do not necessarily have to open up an evolutionary path or develop creation abilities.
Going to the alien battlefield and fighting against aliens can also earn a large number of merits.
"Take a look at the conditions offered by the Moonwatch Star Domain."
Red-nosed Shi Feng glanced at the white paper in front of Lin Yuan.
"Moonwatch Star Domain?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment. If he remembered correctly, this should be the home star domain of the eighth-rank evolver Ouyin?
"Let me see."
Lin Yuan picked up the white paper and shared it with Red-nosed Shi Feng.
"A seventh-rank soul defense treasure."
Red-nosed Shi Feng was somewhat amazed. The first treasure on the white paper made him quite tempted.
This is a soul defense treasure that guards the soul. It's highly desired by evolvers on any evolutionary path.
"Hmm?"
There was a slight movement in Lin Yuan's heart.
Although he already had an eighth-rank soul defense treasure, it was damaged. Repairing it would take who knows how long.
Before that, it wouldn't hurt to use a seventh-rank soul defense treasure as a substitute.
Lin Yuan wasn't worried about what to do with the seventh-rank soul defense treasure once his eighth-rank soul defense treasure was repaired. Such treasures that guard the soul are always in demand, and he could sell it at a premium anytime he wanted.
Lin Yuan's gaze shifted away from the first line on the white paper.
And moved to the second line.
"Jianmu Fragment, containing a large amount of vitality, can reshape the body of a seventh-rank evolver once."
Compared to the seventh-rank soul defense treasure, the second item, the Jianmu Fragment, was slightly inferior, especially for Lin Yuan, who possessed the 'Blood Rebirth' divine ability.
But just because Lin Yuan didn't need it didn't mean other evolvers wouldn't. He could sell it or exchange it for other items.
Lin Yuan continued to look at the third line on the white paper.
"The Heavenly Azure Water, which can purify the impurities of the body and consolidate the origin of the body."
"This Moonwatch Star Domain is very sincere."
After reading the three treasures, Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
These three treasures are highly sought after by seventh-rank evolvers, especially the first one.
"Should I agree to them?"
Lin Yuan looked at Red-nosed Shi Feng.
Whether it's the Moonwatch Star Domain or the Golden Dragon Star Domain.
They have no relevance to Lin Yuan. It doesn't matter which side he votes for.
"Don't be in a hurry."
"First, let's see what the Golden Dragon Star Domain has to offer."
Red-nosed Shi Feng said, then disappeared again.
When Shi Feng returned, a tall man in a golden robe appeared beside him.
"Jin Tianzhao, the price Moonwatch Star Domain offered to Brother Thirteen is quite substantial; you need to step up your game," Shi Feng reminded.
Obviously, the tall man in the golden robe next to him, named Jin Tianzhao, is from the Golden Dragon Star Domain.
"Thirteen, right?" Jin Tianzhao scrutinized Lin Yuan carefully. "Thirteen, is this your first time attending the Star Alliance Conference?"
"That's correct," Lin Yuan nodded.
The Star Alliance Conference happens once every hundred years, which isn't long for level six citizens. Even if they're not familiar with each other, they usually know of one another.
"In that case, Thirteen, do you know the strength of our Golden Dragon Star Domain?" Jin Tianzhao continued.
At this, Lin Yuan remained unfazed.
On the other hand, Shi Feng frowned, "Jin Tianzhao, what do you mean? If you want Thirteen to vote for your Golden Dragon Star Domain, hurry up and offer some rewards, don't beat around the bush."
"Rewards?" Jin Tianzhao shook his head. "I came here just to meet Thirteen and have a few words with him."
"Thirteen, you've just become a level six citizen not long ago; you shouldn't be tied to our Golden Dragon Star Domain," Jin Tianzhao continued before he could finish.
"Get lost," Shi Feng, full of impatience, kicked him out of the personal space directly.
"This Jin Tianzhao is too arrogant. Who is he threatening?" Shi Feng's expression was somewhat irritable.
"It doesn't matter," Lin Yuan shrugged.
If negotiations aren't fruitful, there's no need to continue.
"I'll go ask Jin Tianzhao what gives him the courage," Shi Feng disappeared again.
In another personal space.
Shi Feng glared angrily at Jin Tianzhao in the golden robe.
"Jin Tianzhao, what do you mean? Thirteen is my friend. Even if you don't need Thirteen's vote, there's no need to speak like that," Shi Feng's tone was displeased.
"Brother Shi, you should know, with the strength of our Golden Dragon Star Domain, even if Moonwatch Star Domain seeks external aid everywhere, they still won't win," Jin Tianzhao said calmly.
This is the confidence of a powerful star domain.
The Golden Dragon Star Domain alone has as many level six citizens as several, even tens, of star domains combined.
"Brother Shi, how long have you known Thirteen? You're always considering others for his sake. You just like making these so-called friends," Jin Tianzhao shook his head.
"So-called friends?" Shi Feng looked at Jin Tianzhao strangely.
"Although he's just become a level six citizen, his age definitely doesn't exceed a thousand years. His potential is limitless in the future. Otherwise, why do you think I'm befriending him?" Shi Feng sighed.
"If you treat Thirteen like this, I can't do anything about it. But after thousands, tens of thousands of years, when Thirteen grows up, I hope you'll still..."
"A level six citizen under a thousand years old."
Jin Tianzhao's expression changed slightly, then he calmed down.
"And so what?"
"Even if he becomes a level seven citizen in the future, he still can't do anything to our Golden Dragon Star Domain."
"It's just..."
Jin Tianzhao said lightly, "Water from a well does not interfere with river water."
"Water from a well does not interfere with river water?" Shi Feng glanced at Jin Tianzhao and then turned to leave.
Water from a well does not interfere with river water?
Who is the small well water?
Who is the vast river water?
Only heaven knows.
