Chapter 725: Big Win Time
There is no need to say much about the entire negotiation process.
When you are in absolute power, any negotiation skills are redundant.
In addition, the negotiation experts on the Green City side are all experienced people. They have come into contact with hundreds, if not thousands, of civilizations. They are humble and generous in their dealings with others, which actually makes their opponents feel like they are in the spring breeze!
As they chatted, the minotaurs even felt a little bit of goodwill towards us. It turned out that the eighteen powerful human civilizations did not exploit us excessively. They were truly people of high moral character!
Fortunately, I met them. If I had met a more powerful civilization, wouldn’t I have been bullied to death?
The characters of these humans are so good, unlike those humans who are all despicable!
When the Flame Snake Civilization saw the minotaurs helping to count money as if they were being sold, they were speechless and wanted to remind them of something but couldn't say it.
All in all, this negotiation was really easy. Green City only needed to reveal a small amount of information, including the Northern Alliance, the Buzhou Alliance, the Iron Key Alliance, and the "field industrialization" that was spreading on a large scale, which was enough to attract the attention of these two civilizations!
Things like the Temple of Greed and space tunnels are like distant dreams for these third-level civilizations.
At most, they could only fantasize about the technology of level 4 civilization, but up to now, some people have already achieved level 5 technology!
Then Lao Mao openly stated that he could accept them as peripheral members of the Northern Alliance!
Its powers include "dispatching exchange teams to visit the North", "having access to the Temple of Greed", "participating in the Supreme Craftsman Competition as an external member", "sharing most of the information and intelligence", etc.
It's really heart-warming.
"Oh, you may be wondering what the [Temple of Greed] is?"
The old cat explained: "That is the legacy left by the Emperor Huangtian. The main items sold are immortal-level and epic-level materials, as well as various divine skills. As long as you have civilization points, you can buy whatever you want!"
"In addition, through the efforts of all parties, the [Temple of Greed] has been transformed into a large-scale trading platform that connects tens of thousands of civilizations. You can sell and traffic information and materials on it. Whatever materials you want, we have them all!"
"You can also seek some technical help. For example, if you encounter some academic problems, you can just issue a task and add a reward. If there are civilizations that have encountered the same problem and have overcome it, they will find a way to contact you and send someone over - of course, the prerequisite is that you can offer a high enough reward."
These words stunned the second-generation civilizations such as the Flame Snake Civilization and the Green Ox Clan.
In their ancient records, similar alliances have appeared, but at least they were in the late era, or even the end of the era.
Is it the end of the era now, and is Pangu Continent about to come to an end?
The leader of the Fire Serpents, Anaconda, couldn't help but stick out his forked tongue and asked, "Why is the development speed of the Ninth Era faster than other eras?"
"To be honest, my civilization has a legacy from our ancestors, and I also know some truths. It is not easy for civilizations to interact with each other. It is good enough that we do not go to war with each other. The shortage of resources is also real."
"With so many civilizations together, the lack of resources alone is enough to cause huge conflicts. How can we talk about unity? It's not that I don't believe in your alliance, but... it does require resources to make this happen!"
The old cat narrowed his eyes and smiled calmly: "Haha, it seems that your civilization is still somewhat wary, but it is normal to have such thoughts."
"The biggest reason why the Buzhou Alliance is the strongest among all the major alliances is that it controls a large number of small worlds."
"The resources produced by these small worlds are quite abundant and can alleviate resource pressure to a certain extent."
"Small world?"
"Each small world has its own rules left over from the ancient times, and produces ten or a hundred times more plants and animals than the current ones. Moreover, its area is equivalent to the planets of the past, and it can easily accommodate a billion people."
“On the other hand, it benefits from the industrialization of the field.”
"Oh, we have indeed heard of this strange technology... Could it be that it came from the Buzhou Alliance?" The snake leader tried to get more information, "What is the status of your civilization in the Buzhou Alliance?"
"I am one of the founding members of the 18th human civilization, so my status is naturally good."
The old cat did not give a direct reply, but just kept talking to himself: "There is one last reason. The successful excavation of the space tunnel is the first level 5 technology developed by the Buzhou Alliance. It also gives all participants enough confidence that this path is correct and level 5 technology will emerge like mushrooms after rain."
"There is an ancient Iron Key Alliance at the other end of the space tunnel. What took them so long, my Unconscious Alliance only took decades to accomplish. This means we have greater potential and a higher probability of landing on the moon and retrieving the important relics of the Tower Top civilization!"
"We have full confidence in our system!"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
The minotaurs, the human mother civilization, and the cat people all had round eyes and stood straight, as if they were petrified.
With such a powerful alliance as support, wouldn't the gap between the two sides become wider and wider?
The number of talents, craftsmen, and resources all differ by orders of magnitude.
How can you compare?
And these words were like thunder to the ears of the leader of the Flame Snake Civilization - the Buzhou Alliance actually wanted to land on the moon! !
Our big plan hasn't even begun, but it's already coming to an end?!
The old cat continued, "It's difficult, too difficult. Landing on the moon only gives a glimmer of hope to a level 5 civilization. Even a level 6 civilization, or even the legendary level 7 civilization, may not be able to take the moon."
"Of course, we cannot reveal more details. The Iron Key Alliance holds the key to the moon. They have not been able to take the moon back for so many eras, which also proves how difficult this task is."
The leader of the Fire Serpents, Anaconda, was once again filled with turbulent waves in his heart.
How is that possible?
Follow the instructions of the Rubik's Cube artificial intelligence: as long as there are one or two myths and it goes into space under the protection of the mythical items, the Rubik's Cube artificial intelligence can take over the entire moon by itself!
But now, the eighteen human civilizations claim that taking over the moon is as difficult as ascending to the sky.
For a moment, he couldn't tell what was true and what was false.
For some reason, a mysterious sense of crisis arose in my heart.
So he pretended to know nothing and asked patiently, "Can't we take down a level 7 civilization? Is it so difficult?"
The old cat glanced at them with his eyes slanted. It wasn't something that was too secretive anyway, so he said in a casual chat tone, "The Gear Civilization is a true seventh-level civilization. It's very famous, right? They've done so many good things, why didn't they take the moon? It's because they can't do it."
"In the Eighth Era, the boundless world was created and the [ghosts] were imprisoned. Why didn't they take over the moon? This shows that this task is extremely difficult."
"Wait... Mr. Old Cat, what is the moon used for?" The Minotaur was confused. "What are you talking about?"
"You just need to know that it is very important... It involves the occurrence of the epoch disaster. There is no need to say anything else." The old cat said, "Even we don't know what is on it."
"So one of the main goals of the Buzhou Alliance is to land on the moon. If a civilization is unwilling to send troops, it will be kicked out of the alliance immediately, no longer able to enjoy the alliance's resources, and will be put on the blacklist."
"As for the Northern Alliance, their goal is a little more relaxed. If it is really impossible, they can just create another moon."
"Re...rebuild?" Li Chunhong and others widened their eyes. This was the first time they heard of this.
You have to know that the moon of Pangu Continent is incredibly large, tens of thousands of times larger than the Earth in the past!
How to create another one?
Even if we start producing robots now and continue producing them until the end of the era, we still won't be able to complete this amount of work.
"This project also requires continuous improvement of technology and the joint efforts of the northern civilization. Moreover, there are still large-scale civil engineering projects from the Fourth Age in the northern region, so even if it is quite difficult, it is not completely impossible."
The Hebrew civilization, the creator of the "Strange" Age of the Fourth Era, left behind some "Pillars of Heaven" that tore apart the North, two of which were found by the Chongzun Legion.
These huge pillars are buried deep underground, each one is five thousand meters high and has the idealistic power to control the earth.
Although badly damaged, it can still serve as the main body of a planetary engine.
Duke Magmet of the Lanpeng Civilization said with great momentum: "If this project is completed, even if the epoch disaster occurs, our northern border will still exist and become the tenth epoch!"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and it made the heads of all the other civilizations present buzz.
Perhaps this is the real gap.
While they were still busy with survival issues, some civilizations were already thinking about the next era.
The layout is completely different!
After a long while, the old cat took over the conversation: "So arranging for our fellow humans to enter the North is the best way we can think of. If you are willing to become a peripheral member of the Northern Alliance, you can also enter the North as long as you pass the 100-year probation period."
Li Chunhong, Li Jun and others hurriedly said: "Thank you very much for your arrangement, Mr. Cat. We will follow your instructions."
"How can I pass the probation period?" asked the big blue ox.
The old cat glanced at him and said, "It's not that difficult."
It stretched out three furry fingers and said, "Three requests. The first is the industrialization of a large number of dissemination venues. We hope that this knowledge can be disseminated on a large scale at low cost. As for the profits obtained, all of them will belong to you."
“The second is that we want to create a more collaborative world.”
"It's not that there can't be any conflict between civilizations, but we should try to reduce conflicts as much as possible and not easily destroy a species with potential."
"It is irrational for any alliance to accommodate and absorb a civilization that likes to start wars."
The Minotaur said awkwardly: "You are talking about..."
"Third, after a hundred years, you must have at least made some progress. If you make no progress and indulge in comfort, there is no need to absorb it."
"The purpose of establishing the Northern Alliance is to rebuild the moon. This is a huge project that requires a strong consensus. We don't want those civilizations that are obsessed with comfort to affect the atmosphere of unity. You have to know that an era may be very short or very long. To carry out a goal for a long time, at least have a little faith."
Whether it was the Fire Serpent or the Minotaur, they all felt a chill in their hearts and nodded in agreement: "I see, these three requests are indeed reasonable."
The subsequent negotiations were even simpler. First, the tone of internal propaganda should be set. It should be announced internally: "This is a military exercise!"
"The armies of many parties had friendly exchanges and competitions, and the powerful human civilization from afar brought rich knowledge and gifts."
The content is indeed a bit stiff, because the three forces have fought hundreds of conflicts, large and small, for the remains of civilization under their feet, and the number of deaths has exceeded five figures!
Suddenly it started a "friendly exchange". Are you trying to fool a three-year-old child?
But history is always written by the victors. It is good enough that Green City did not massacre them. This kind of internal propaganda to reduce hatred can be regarded as a token of allegiance. No matter how difficult it is, they have to declare it this way.
In addition, the first benefit of joining the Northern Alliance has also been given: 100-200 "Craftsman Talents" and other divine skills, which can be purchased with civilization points.
To be honest, "Craftsman's Talent" is so popular that every civilization needs it in huge quantities. Lu Yuan is increasingly frustrated and wonders why he didn't set the price higher in the first place. It's not appropriate to adjust the price now.
Because in the eyes of many civilizations, this "Temple of Greed" is the legacy of Emperor Huangtian, and the price has not changed for so many years. It is impossible for Emperor Huangtian to come back to life and temporarily raise the price just because he sees that "Craftsman Talent" is selling well?
"I should be more greedy!"
Of course, the emergence of so many divine skills is a big pie. Any "craftsman talent" will give birth to a high-level talent and change the fate of a family. How to divide it is a big problem.
As a result, the people of the Flame Snake Civilization and the Red Run Alliance were all distracted and caught up in the vigorous internal distribution. Occasionally, someone recalled the news report that had just been released, and then they suddenly realized, "The powerful civilization from afar is actually real!"
Just like that, after using various political means to quell possible internal disputes, the leaders shifted their attention to the outside world, that is, the ruins under their feet.
In fact, there is not much to say. Since Green City has given so many chips, the most precious mythical items will naturally belong to Green City.
Of course, the old cat had no interest in the remaining items and generously gave them to other civilizations.
Although the Flame Snake Civilization and the Red Run Alliance had some resentment, they could only comfort themselves by saying, "We never got it anyway, so it's gone. Now we can gain something without paying any price, which seems not bad."
The old cat was naturally in high spirits, and its steps made a sound of wind - well, it specially asked Lu Yuan to build it a new body, 2 meters tall and with a sturdy build.
This political maniac has no interest in his compatriots, the Haji civilization, and is only wholeheartedly fighting for the interests of Green City!
There is no friendship of any kind.
This scene made Lu Yuan feel ashamed. If you are so selfless, doesn't that make me look like a clown?
…
At the end of a diplomatic meeting, the minotaurs left the room and all sighed.
"Mr. Speaker of the Council, how come we don't know about so much knowledge about Pangu Continent?"
The elder of the Qingniu clan snorted coldly: "Our ancestors fled in the Fourth Era. How could we possibly know these things?"
"Even our technology has only been developed in the last few hundred years."
Yes, the Minotaur tribe had no technology at the beginning. It was not until they left the safe zone and dug up the ruins that they obtained technology.
"But it doesn't matter. I have the blood of a minotaur and am gifted with extraordinary talents. I will definitely catch up and create greater glory!"
"Moo!" All the bull heads roared.
…
On the other side, the leader of the Fire Snake Civilization specifically called out to Old Cat, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Mr. Old Cat..."
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly."
“Is landing on the moon really as difficult as climbing to the sky?”
"Yes, we are sure..." The old cat had no idea what the other party was saying. "We only know that the earlier we land, the easier it will be. It will be meaningless to land at the end of the era. So time is very tight."
"Thank you for clearing up my confusion. We are grateful!" The Fire Snake man placed his hands on his chest and twisted his body. This was considered standard etiquette in their civilization.
Leaving the fortress and entering their own spaceship, the Fire Snakes seemed very silent.
They now believe that the "Eighteen Human Civilizations" is a powerful civilization, and are gradually believing that there is an "alliance" behind them.
But the information provided by humans does not match the information provided by the "Magic Cube".
"Sir, if the moon is really that dangerous, even if we land successfully, we will be killed immediately... Even with the protection of mythology, it won't work."
They didn't know the power of myths, but they knew with a little thought that myths could not resist the disasters of the era.
Even the [ghosts] can't resist it!
Therefore, the Rubik's Cube appears to be very suspicious.
The leader of the Fire Snake was a little worried. The Magic Cube provided a lot of help and gave quite a lot of information, but whether it was right or wrong... they didn't know!
