"Did I just hear something wrong?"

Andut Rondo was a little skeptical and tried to confirm the information:

"Every word you convey to me requires a large amount of energy in the transmission process, and that amount of energy is equivalent to the total energy released by about fifty stars from birth to death?"

"Are you so generous?"

Regarding doubts.

The voice said indifferently:

"Those energies are not small for ordinary individuals or civilizations."

“But for me, not much.”

"So-called stars are actually quite numerous in the universe, and they are not rare at all."

"Furthermore, stars are essentially just regular natural celestial bodies. Due to their structure, the energy they can release is actually not much, far less than technological creations such as planetary antimatter engines."

"If we really want to rely on burning stars as a communication energy source, just the various technological information I have passed on to you before would require burning more than twenty galaxies the size of the Milky Way. After all, if we want to pass on various technologies in a form that you can understand, almost all of them need to be converted into Earth language with millions of words."

Faced with the lofty content described by the voice, Andut Rondo felt that his capital was not worth the other party's attention, so he chose to scratch his head tactically:

"So... in order to pass on to me some technology that is only a few decades more advanced than Earth's, you used energy equivalent to burning twenty galaxies?"

"Excuse me, but is it worth it?"

"What do you mean by a cage?"

The voice replied calmly:

"You will know those things naturally in the future."

"If you can meet the requirements..."

Hearing these suggestive words, Andut Rondo asked with great concern:

"What do you want?"

There is no intention to hide anything.

The other party answered directly:

"Contact the top group of awakened people on your planet, and then act as a conduit to convey my thoughts to the other party. This is what I ask of you."

"certainly."

"Before that, you have to find a way to know the other party's personality and general information, so that I can simulate the other party's way of doing things remotely."

"If you come into contact with a top-level awakener with a bad personality, and the other party kills you on the spot, it will be a troublesome thing for me."

After understanding the content, Andut Rondo nodded slowly:

"...In short, I am actually a messenger?"

"I will find you a top awakener, and then let you communicate with him through me. Is this what I need to do now?"

The other party first admitted it cleanly:

"right!"

Then he added: "But not quite."

"Actually, that's not what you need to do right now."

"After all, for you right now, it is obviously impossible to come into contact with the top awakeners."

"At most, you are only able to come into contact with small-time awakeners now."

"But I have nothing to talk about with guys of that level, and even rashly contacting them might delay things."

"That's why I will pass on various technologies to you so that you can achieve success."

"It is so that you can have more capital, so that you can gradually gain the ability to contact those top awakened people."

“So, getting in touch with your target is something you need to do in the future, not something you need to do now. Now you just need to stay alive and continue to accumulate capital.”

"Besides, there is only one thing I want you to do. There probably won't be any new tasks in the future."

"I need to have a conversation with the real ruler of your planet. This is the only thing you need to do for me!"

"Believe me, once the negotiation goes smoothly, the other party and even some other top awakeners will become your backers, because you are the intermediary for the cooperation between the two parties. It is reasonable for the other party to protect you..."

After slowly letting out a long breath, Andut Rondo said with emotion:

“Is that so…”

Then, he asked another question of his own:

"Although I know where you are, since you can cross the stars to find me on Earth, why don't you just go directly to your target?"

Standing by the window and looking at the countless people in the distance, he asked in great confusion:

"Although the Earth is very large to me, it is not that large for you, whose consciousness can span the stars, right?"

"According to your ability, shouldn't you go straight to the target?"

"Why do you need me to act as a middleman?"

In his opinion, the other party's actions were more or less unnecessary.

The other party understood what he was wondering about and explained:

"If I were in the outside world, outside the solar system, I could easily scan the planets with my consciousness and find the target I need. I could even distort the structure of matter with my thoughts and create a black hole to swallow up the galaxy... But, this is not the case in the solar system. The solar system is a cage, a special area. To me, this place is like a mirage in another time and space. Even with special means, it is still difficult for my consciousness to enter the solar system. Even if I enter, it will inevitably be subject to many restrictions and become extremely weak. Even if I find someone to communicate with, I can only do so with people who meet the characteristics."

"And you are the only person who meets the requirements after all the efforts I have made to find on this planet."

"So your existence is indispensable to me. Once you die, even if my consciousness can successfully enter the solar system, I may still have to wait for hundreds or thousands of years... before I can find another suitable transferee."

"From this perspective, I can be considered one of the people in this world who values ​​you the most."

Because the other person's voice is male.

To Andut Rondo, these words were indeed a bit disgusting:

"...Okay, now comes my last question, a crucial one."

"Why do you think that after accepting your benefits, I will obediently follow your orders and go to meet those top awakeners whose temperaments are unpredictable and who may easily kill me? Could it be that you have left some hidden tricks on me?"

At this moment, perhaps I was surprised by his honesty.

In a trance, Andut Rondo heard a laugh.

Then comes the answer to the question:

"Hidden hand?"

"There is no such thing."

"If I could really influence the physical things on your side and leave a hidden hand on you, then I wouldn't need to find you."

"So even if I wanted to leave a hidden hand on you, I actually have no power to do so."

"Of course, I am not trusting your character, nor do I believe that you will take a huge risk to repay your kindness."

"That kind of thing is just stupid."

"Especially after witnessing so much ignorance and meanness."

"Compared to other people's character, something more practical is more trustworthy."

"And the reason why I think you will follow my idea and actually find those top awakeners is very simple - Andut Rondo, you are not a person who keeps to yourself. You want to stand higher, you want to live longer, you want more wealth, you want more power... Moreover, in the past two years, I have been constantly cultivating your greed for these things. So, facing the opportunity and opportunity that can really change your life, even if you hesitate out of caution, you will find those guys sooner or later..."

"Not for me, but for yourself..."

"In order to gain more for yourself..."

After a long silence.

Andut Rondo withdrew his gaze from the window, covered his face with his hands and sighed helplessly:

"All right……"

"This is really... completely seen through..."
