In the Xia Kingdom, there has always been a tradition of respecting "outsiders".
As the saying goes, "A guest from afar is a guest." When guests from afar come, we should take out the food and supplies that we would not have given away in the past to entertain them. Even if our family conditions are not good, we should not neglect our guests.
There is also a saying that "outsiders are better at chanting sutras", which means that people have some beautiful imaginations and aspirations about outside places and people.
This tradition of hospitality is actually a good thing. At least it proves that the people of this place are open-minded, tolerant and open. Guests will also feel that they are valued and respected, and thus have a good impression of this place, which will deepen exchanges between the two sides and bring more benefits.
Therefore, we cannot always rely on "worshiping foreigners and fawning on them". This is actually a kind of high emotional intelligence and a fine tradition passed down from ancient times to the present. It has also allowed Xia Guo to make many true friends. Therefore, no matter how the world situation changes, it will not seem to be fighting alone.
What about Levi’s Dark Empire? Does it also have a good tradition of “hospitality”?
If Levi thinks about this question carefully, he might shake his head in shame.
The Dark Empire is not very interested in making friends. Instead, it likes to recruit minions and enslave and oppress weak civilizations. It often orders its minions to do things, and beats them if they don't obey. There is no reward for being obedient, and at most it gives them a few words of praise, saying "not bad, not bad".
In terms of relations between civilizations, they are very arrogant, overbearing, and unreasonable. Even hearing the name of the "Dark Empire" makes people feel fear and terror.
Of course, this does not mean that the Dark Empire does not need friends, has no friends, or has no interpersonal interactions.
The only civilizations that are qualified to become friends of the Dark Empire must be strong, and must be at the peak of level 6 and able to harness stellar energy.
As for the weak, the Dark Empire has no habit of making friends with them.
In addition, the Dark Empire has another not-so-good habit, which is that it likes to "rip off tourists", especially those spaceships or interstellar carriers from unknown civilizations that accidentally end up in the Dark Empire's territory. After confirming that there is no danger, they will allow you to stay and open the airport.
Whether the guests can leave depends on their luck. Generally speaking, if the guests carry high-value technology or materials, they basically cannot leave; if they do not have anything of high value and the spaceship they drive is also broken, the guests will be charged with "trespassing" and directly demoted to slaves, making it difficult for them to leave.
No, this behavior is really not good.
However, considering that the Dark Empire's legendary interstellar battleship "Nightmare" was "picked up" by the Dark Empire royal family from a fat sheep customer in some way, it is reasonable that a craze for picking up things was set off and formed a tradition.
So no matter what kind of guests come, they subconsciously regard them as fat sheep.
This is really inappropriate and doesn't look very good.
But then again, now that you know what the Dark Empire is, you have to be mentally prepared when you go to it. It's best not to go if you can. The Dark Empire, you know it's very "dark", but you still go there eagerly. If this is not courting death, what is it?
This is a bit off topic.
He Wenxi saw that Levi was unmoved by his proposal, but instead was thinking about the benefits of being a foreigner. For a tiny benefit, he actually refused to change back his nationality. This really made him speechless.
But you can't force it.
All I can say is: "Okay, okay, if you change your mind one day, you can always find me. The country welcomes you back at any time."
Then they talked about other topics.
"Xiao Li, I see you stay in this villa almost all day and rarely go out. Your life must be a bit boring, right?"
"And look at how big this villa is, and you've hired over 100 bodyguards. Even when you go to the bathroom, someone has to follow you. How uncomfortable is that?"
"You're really too wary. Those fake news and information from abroad have smeared us so badly that no matter what we do, they think it's bad. No matter how we explain it, they're skeptical. Only when they come to Xia Country and see it for themselves will they change their minds and say something constructive and positive."
"Xiao Li, you're different from others. Besides, you've been in Xia Country for several years. You should have seen what this place is like and know it well. Besides, we value justice and human nature here. Just think about that time when you were doing a live broadcast and kicked a billionaire in the balls. If this happened in Xing Country, the other party would definitely spend a lot of money to hire a lawyer and sentence you to 20 or 30 years. It would definitely not end well for you."
"But we still value human nature and uphold justice, so not only was your kick a good one, but we won't hold you legally responsible at all."
"As for your company's 'artificial intelligence technology', we in Xia Country all honestly pay for it. Even if it's a bit expensive, there's nothing we can do about it. It's a willing fight, and the other is willing to be beaten. No one will come to steal your technology. We all abide by the rules."
"But look at Singapore. Just how shameless are they? They lied, denied, and apologized. Then, after acquiring the technology, they immediately turned the tables, claiming the technology was theirs. They then wholesaled it to other countries at a low price, causing huge losses to Dark Technology. Our diplomats have lodged solemn representations, demanding they cease the infringement of their technology, but they've played dumb and lied and denied it."
"So, Xiao Li, be honest and say this: Are we good? Are those countries out there bad? Are we trustworthy, or will we fall into their trap? I believe you have the answers to these questions."
"Xiao Li, look at me, I'm just an old man with frail arms and legs. I've come to your place several times these past few days. My family hasn't even had a good New Year's celebration yet. I just want to talk to you and dispel your worries and vigilance. I'm sure my wife and children will scold me when I go back."
"How about this, Xiao Li, if you consider me a friend, why don't you do me a favor? On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, you can come to my house as a guest and hang out with me. You can also act as a shield for me, so that I won't be scolded by my wife and children... Xiao Li, can you help me with this little favor?"
Uh~
Levi had a pensive look on his face, lost in thought.
"Xiao Li, let me tell you, our place is really fun. Have you seen a tank? I'll take you in and drive one. And the attack helicopters are real beasts! Want to go inside and take a look? I'll show you around. We also have missiles and fighter jets. If you're interested, you can look at them, touch them, and even try sitting in one."
"Xiao Li, this villa is too boring. Listen to me and come to my place to have some fun. I promise you will have fun and be in a good mood."
He Wenxi invited him strongly.
"Forget it, I'm not going. I'm not interested." Levi refused decisively.
"Huh, why? Don't you like it?" He Wenxi asked in surprise.
"It's too backward, all antiques, I won't go to see it."
Levi shook his head. If there were an interstellar battleship, he might be a little interested, but forget about what He Wenxi said.
