A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 563 - Chapter 563 Chapter 416 Negotiations_2

Chapter 563: Chapter 416: Negotiations_2 Chapter 563: Chapter 416: Negotiations_2 Yes, this is an online literature brainwashing plan. As long as these online novels can circulate within the Star Union, anyone who has read these novels–or the TV series adapted from them–will subconsciously treat the Subspace Demons in this way. Wouldn’t it make things much easier?

The Emperor, you see, you don’t understand the human heart.

Of course, there is no need for the Star Union to put out any official regulations. People have rebellious spirits, after all. Trying to push them this way might lead to public discontentment. Also, there is no need to be overt: we only need to ban novels that glorify deities and demons on our websites under the pretense of promoting feudal superstition. Then, we promote novels that revolve around the slaughter of gods. Seeing this method makes money, authors will naturally start writing along these lines.

If many are written, we can select a few top-quality ones, adapt them into movies or TV shows, and play it within the Star Union. Isn’t that a gradual form of brainwashing?

This is far better than any Imperial dogma!

Players within the game want to pull off similar stunts, but sadly, it’s quite hard. In reality, though… Duanmu Huai plans to try this idea out.

This is also a case of fighting poison with poison, I suppose.

Above all, at least this method won’t turn humans into spineless worms who kneel in the presence of Evil Gods and can’t get back up.

In the end, the Star Union leadership decided to hold talks with the Tribunal.

I must say, the timing Duanmu Huai chose was excellent. Humans had just taken their first step out of their own galaxy and encountered extra-terrestrial races when they found themselves under threat. At this juncture, they urgently needed an experienced guide from the cosmos to assist them, making the emergence of the Tribunal a massive blessing for the Star Union.

Both parties were on the side of humanity, and the Tribunal boasts great power. Under their protection, the Star Union could develop with greater freedom.

So, after receiving a response from Li Longcheng, Duanmu Huai also affirmed that he would send representatives from the Tribunal for negotiations. Not long after, a Night Raven Black Star landed on the Star Alliance Battleships. Li Longcheng, accompanied by the Star Union’s leadership, went to welcome them. To be honest, simply seeing Duanmu Huai’s face on the screen had previously frightened them greatly. Although Duanmu Huai wasn’t coming in person, everyone was worried… what if the Tribunal’s representative was equally terrifying?

“Pffft…”

Soon, the doors opened, and Li Longcheng and the others saw several towering figures in black armor, guns in hand, walk out and line up on both sides. This sight made everyone even more nervous.

Then… they observed several girls walk out from between these giants.

“………???”

I have to say, the contrast was so stark it left the Star Union leadership somewhat baffled. They had prepared themselves mentally to negotiate with these taller-than-average figures.

But–who would’ve thought that the other party would send out such beautiful lovely girls?

“Good day to you, Mr. President.”

The girl at the front, Ann, was dressed in royal attire, followed by a happily smiling Manaria Prince, and Lumiaire and Axelle, dressed as maids.

“I am the representative of the Tribunal, the first princess of Manaria–Ann. Pleased to meet you.”

“………”

Seeing these beautiful and lovely girls, the faces of all members of the Star Union’s top echelon, including Li Longcheng, were stunned.

The Tribunal… has this side as well?

In fact, this was also Duanmu Huai’s idea. The Tribunal itself came off as extremely dominant. If he presented himself, the Star Union would have likely kept silent, despite being unhappy. But this would not be conducive for their cooperation. Therefore, Duanmu Huai specially sent Ann and Manaria Prince as representatives for the Tribunal in the negotiations.

As a princess of a country, Ann had the most experience in political matters, and she was one of the longest-serving members together with Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai’s intentions certainly wouldn’t be lost on someone as clever and wise as Ann.

Isn’t this charm supreme when it comes to Zhenling?!

You see, when Duanmu Huai gets into a charming character in a game, he’s absolutely irresistible – people are totally willing to give him their all willingly!

This is the formidable effect of being loaded with charm, right!

Duanmu Huai has already decided that Zhenling should represent the Tribunal in matters of diplomacy and publicity from now on.

After all, she follows Duanmu Huai in the hopes of making the world-no, the universe, realize how endearing she is.

The universe’s most adorable, Zhenling!

Sounds good, doesn’t it?

It’s definitely better than being an Obsessive Sin or Lustful Great Demon.

Just look at these losers, ugly as sin!

Of course, Duanmu Huai is not worried that because of this, the Tribunal might be belittled.

After all, the Batarei’s home planet was just bombed, so they should have a slightly longer memory than a fish.

In fact, just as Duanmu Huai envisioned, perhaps due to Ann and Zhenling’s substantial charm, the Tribunal reached a cooperation agreement in half a day with the senior leaders of the Star Union.

Simply put, the agreement is that the Tribunal will ensure the Star Union’s colonization and expansion are safe – like when the Star Union colonized a planet and were attacked by the Tuggy, if something like this happens again, and the Union can’t hold its own, they can reach out to the Tribunal. In addition, if they encounter any tricky problems that they can’t handle on an alien planet, they can seek help from the Tribunal.

Considering that the Tribunal’s technology might cause some unpredictable chaos contamination or impact on the Star Union, Duanmu Huai did not agree to a technology exchange between the two parties. Of course, he doesn’t mind trading some technology from the Guardian Planet, the Beast-race Planet, or the Hell Planet with the Star Union.

But as for Tribunal technology… It’s always better not to use it if you can, after all, the Union has just stepped into the universe. Giving them this stuff now is like gifting a nuke to a caveman – they’ll die without even knowing how.

Of course, Duanmu Huai also managed to arrange a deal for Dadaniel – that is, the atmosphere transformation technology that Dadaniel Corporation has!

For the Star Union, this technology is just like sending charcoal in snowy weather. As of now, their biggest worry in space development is not finding the right planets suitable for humans to live. But with atmosphere transformation technology, all these problems naturally become nonexistent. Even if they’re just pieces of rock, as long as these planets have prime locations, they can be transformed into an environment suitable for humans to live in through this technology!

Having heard this news, Dadaniel naturally thanked Duanmu Huai profusely. In fact, Dadaniel Corporation has now basically become the Tribunal’s follower, wherever Duanmu Huai goes, Dadaniel follows. The ongoing trade for the reconstruction of the Guardian civilization, the Beast-race Planet, and the Hell Planet, are all being handled by the Dadaniel Corporation.

However, none of this compares to a fully-formed interstellar civilization!

This has also made Dadaniel resolve to cling firmly to the big tree that is the Tribunal!

This is their cash cow!

Compared to this, the offerings the Star Union can make to the Tribunal are rather sparse, but Duanmu Huai doesn’t care much. After all, the Tribunal rarely interferes in human internal affairs, but if it involves heretics and demons, the Tribunal will act, regardless of whether you acknowledge it or not. So, the statement from the Star Union is more of a means for political exchange and communication.

Of course, all in all, the negotiations between the two sides were conducted in a friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere, and a series of cooperation agreements were reached.

At the end, everyone was smiling, and Li Longcheng was also in high spirits.

With such an agreement, he can now face the Shenbao Council with much more confidence.
