Pan Galactic Age

Chapter 20 Negotiations
What made Xiao Cheng and his party feel a little unusual was that seven of these starships belonged to the expedition team, and they obviously didn't dock for a long time—all of them were docked at temporary berths within seven days.

"It seems that this servant of the gods not only called our team." Xiao Cheng thoughtfully looked at the various logos on the starships of the expedition team.

"The universe is so big, our team must not be the only ones who discovered the signal. This has already been considered." The bald dragon patted Xiao Cheng on the shoulder, "More people may not necessarily be a bad thing, as the old man said before."

"That's right, you can't tell what will happen in the wormhole. More people will give you more power—if this servant of God really has the ability to integrate everyone." Brother Wu also nodded in response.

This time, all seven of the servants of the gods will go if they don’t intend to, leaving behind the bald dragon, Xiaodie, and Nan Xin on the "Yinlong", and the four of them, Mr. Mu, Brother Wu, Lao Han and Xiao Cheng, are going to meet the gods. waiter.

At the port, an Ellen man of medium build, pale face, high nose, deep eyes, and long brown hair was waiting for them in a khaki Ellen dress.

"Everyone, please follow me." After verifying his identity, he bowed slightly, with simple and elegant movements, and led everyone to board the hover car beside him.

Old Han nuzzled his mouth and said to Xiao Cheng in a low voice: "I don't like the pretentious gesture of the Ellen people the most."

Xiao Cheng smiled and said nothing.

Ten minutes later, the hover vehicle stopped in front of a building that marked the meeting hall of the Ellen Empire Foreign Trade Company.

Standing on the steps, Casares watched a group of four people get off the suspension vehicle, and immediately went up to meet them.

"Thank you very much for coming, my friends!" Casares bowed slightly with open arms, and at the same time motioned for everyone to follow him.

The old man, Lao Han, and Brother Wu both used mimicry masks to change their identities. Everyone is registered in the China Explorers Union. Their resumes are sparse and ordinary, and there is nothing special about them. The only person who interested Casares is Xiao As a result, a top student from the University of Astronautics, the highest institution in Huaguo, actually joined a little-known expedition team, but that's all.What puzzled him most was how such a team knew the secret of the source of evil...

The four of them followed Casares to a gorgeously decorated office, and an attendant of Ellen immediately served them snacks and tea with Ellen's characteristics.

"Here are the detailed information on the star map you want." Casales crossed his fingers on the white table, with a kind smile on his face, and straight to the point, he sent the star map to the four of them.

"...Thank you very much." The old man didn't touch the star map, and he didn't ask Brother Wu to identify the authenticity of the star map. Since the other party did this, he didn't mean to deceive them. It can be regarded as a high-level, and we are really flattered to come here to welcome us explorers in person."

"Explorers are respected all over the world, and our Ellen Empire is no exception. The development of mankind today is closely related to the bravery and fearlessness of explorers. You are the gods and should be respected." Casares said, "I I know you must have doubts about why we are interested in a galaxy in the distant Huaguo, since you trust me and come to fulfill the contract, I am naturally obliged to disclose some content."

"The source of evil galaxy—or call it the B4-105M3 galaxy is barren without any valuable resources, so we have no other purpose—" Casaleth paused, looking at everyone's expressions , the subject changed the subject and continued, "Everyone is familiar with the kingdom of Odin, right?"

The four of them straightened their faces, knowing that the point was coming.

"In Ellen, it is more called the Kingdom of Sin. The ancestors of the Eren Empire were the first to fight against the invasion of the Sin Kingdom in the world—and paid a heavy price—"

"It's the same for us Huaguo. The Kyushu star field has been invaded four times." Brother Wu interjected and interrupted Casares' description of history.

"So we have a lot of information about the evil country." Casares said without paying attention, "About two years ago, our scholars discovered a signal pointing to the evil country in the territory of China, which aroused the Supreme Supreme Being. The emperor attaches great importance to it, but it is not suitable to announce it to the public. After discussion with the archbishop, we decided to send our investigation team to check the situation, because we don’t know the specific situation. Alarm your government."

"This matter has nothing to do with us." The old man asked with a smile, "let alone tell us such a secret..."

"I think you have seen it at the port," Casares raised his voice and interrupted the old man, "This time we have summoned a total of 8 nearby expeditions, and you were the last to be invited in. The country has a bad reputation...I sincerely hope to get your help, after all...the Kingdom of Odin is the public enemy of all mankind!"

The old man's smiling face was slightly retracted. These words really spoke to his heart. No matter what the purpose of these magic sticks is, the kingdom of Odin is indeed a serious problem for human beings, let alone appearing in the territory of China. He was not worried, although he was expelled from China, but his patriotism never changed.

The three of Xiao Cheng all looked at the old man. The old man was their backbone. As long as the old man nodded, they would have no objection.

Casares smiled and looked at the old man with his fingers crossed. In fact, he was not 100% sure in his heart. After all, in addition to the adventurous spirit, the expedition team also took risks for money. The reason why he confessed so frankly was to test whether they knew What, if you cooperate, that's the best, if you don't cooperate, then you can only take some extreme measures...

The old man suddenly smiled.

"Ah~ respected servants of the gods, we are obliged to serve the cause of all mankind! Resolutely support your actions." The words were resounding and forceful, startling the three of Xiao Cheng, and then the old man hesitated , "Although we are not afraid of danger, personal comfort is nothing... But it can be to support a large family... My youngest grandson is only two years old this year..."

"..." Xiao Cheng, Lao Han, and Brother Wu were all speechless when they saw the old man's blushing and heart beating.

Seeing the old man's money-greedy appearance, Casares was slightly disappointed, and at the same time his expression relaxed.

Gently put your hands on the table, and replied: "Dear explorer, regarding this operation, the empire has specially given me a special fund..."

Then he opened his palm, and the light screen suddenly opened, and he entered a series of numbers.

"This is a deposit of 50 YTB. After the investigation is completed, no matter what the result is, there will be another half." Casares said with a smile.

100 million YTB is quite a lot for an ordinary expedition team, because the cost of a brand-new standard frigate is only about 30 YTB, and the modification is only 50, so the sincerity of the other party is obvious.

"Well~ this..." The old man showed a look of hesitation, but he didn't accept it.

Casares snorted contemptuously in his heart, and added another 50 yuan to the 30 yuan: "This is a little extra subsidy for you old people. I hope you don't disclose it to other expedition teams."

The old man's eyes lit up immediately, and he pocketed 80 yuan immediately, and then asked hesitantly, "Then, after the inspection, won't the commission shrink?!"

Casares issued a contract agreement on the light screen with his unique electronic signature on it.

Slightly smiled: "It's stated in the contract, after completing the investigation, I will pay you the remaining 50 yuan immediately, so don't worry about it."

"Hehe~ happy cooperation!" The old man quickly put the contract in his palm, stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Casares.

Casares hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his slender fingers. He felt that his hand was tightly held by the old man in front of him. He didn't feel disgusted, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction. He smiled and sent the four of them off. After going out, seeing the attendants leading the four people around the corner, Casares withdrew his smile, took out a clean white handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped his right hand several times carefully.

"Maybe, I did miss it." Casares said in a low voice.

Raphael came out from the dark: "These expeditions all have this kind of virtue."

"Hmph~ But they do know much more about starry space exploration than laymen like us." Casares snorted coldly, "Giving a small benefit can make good use of them, which is very worry-free. "
