Universe Infinite Canteen
Chapter 761 - 761 Communication is Very Important

"Oh, you might not believe it, but I've been paying attention to this plane for a long time," Motti said, "Do you know what I saw in it?"

"Barbarism and isolation." the Black Mountain Goat commented.

"Water?" the Ostrich said, "Water is the most abundant thing on this planet."

"TFboy?" Lu Hua Chicken guessed.

"No, I saw potential," Motti said, "I think it was a mistake for the Council to previously exclude Earth from The Grand Alliance. There may not be many resources here... but there are hardworking and friendly inhabitants, and a vigorous and flourishing spirit, which are exactly what The Grand Alliance lacks today."

"So you want to drive us away? To take our place." The Black Mountain Goat's face darkened.

"No, you've been in this plane for a long time now. I—we need your experience and leadership. You can be a bridge connecting The Grand Alliance and the natives of this plane, helping them to integrate better and faster into this big family of The Grand Alliance."

As Motti spoke, his gaze swept across the four small animals, with Wombat's face showing no change, Lu Hua Chicken looking quite tempted, and the Kangaroo was looking down and rummaging through its own pouch.

As for the Black Mountain Goat, he remained as vigilant as ever, "A bridge? After you cross the river, I'm afraid you'll turn around and dismantle our bridge. Then The Grand Alliance can find any excuse to send the four of us brothers to Prison 444."

"I understand your concerns," Motti nodded, "I can submit a proposal to the Council to turn Earth into an autonomous region, giving you the management rights. This would legally resolve your worries, and the Earth Autonomy Management Committee could become an official organization."

"Are you serious?" Lu Hua Chicken exclaimed in surprise.

The Kangaroo also took out a recording pen from its pouch and placed it on the table.

"As the Councilman, I can assure you, everything said previously is true. On the other hand, you also need to prove your capabilities to me," Motti said.

"We have been managing Earth for many years now, what is there left to prove?" the Black Mountain Goat yearned.

"As I mentioned before, my expectation for you is to become a bridge, not only to manage this plane but also to be responsible for communicating with The Grand Alliance." Motti explained.

"Communication is extremely important," Dalia agreed, "Research shows that over ninety percent of conflicts in the Multiverse arise from insufficient communication."

"You might as well say straight out that you want us to be your lackeys," the Black Mountain Goat said coldly.

"You see, this is the typical misunderstanding," Dalia said, "and that's exactly what we're concerned about."

"How can we prove ourselves?" Yiyi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke again.

"It's simple. We will stay in this plane for a while. During this time, both sides can fully communicate and exchange, starting with building a local branch of The Grand Alliance on Earth together. I believe such cooperation can lay a solid foundation for the relationship between the future autonomous region and The Grand Alliance," Motti proposed.

"A local branch of The Grand Alliance on Earth?"

"You can think of it as a hotel or a resort, specifically for officials of The Grand Alliance to stay at. Don't worry, we won't interfere with your day-to-day operations."

Dalia took a sip of the mixed-flavor soup and interjected, "Hmm, are these mushrooms from energized plants? The taste is even more delicious than I imagined. Can I have another bowl?"

"No problem, Xiao Ma, serve her another one."

Although Ma Lu didn't like the people in front of him much, he never refused Star Currency; the essence-elaborated mixed-flavor soup, rated Deliciousness Index ★★★★★☆ and priced at 3888 per bowl, double would be 7776.

If Dalia had one more bowl, he could earn almost another ten thousand.

Ma Youyou quickly brought up another bowl.

"Could you give us a moment to discuss?" Yiyi mused for a while.

"Of course, take your time," Motti was in no hurry.

The four little animals took leave from their seats and headed to the counter. The Kangaroo took out a matchbox-sized glass box from its pouch and turned it upside down on the ground.

Soon, the glass box expanded into a small room measuring 4m×4m×3m.

The Wombat opened the door, allowing the Kangaroo, Lu Hua Chicken, and Black Mountain Goat to enter, then he was about to follow but paused as if he thought of something, stopped, and turned to Ma Lu, "Boss Ma, come join us."

"Who, me?" Ma Lu pointed to his own nose, "I'd rather not, I don't like getting involved in politics."

"You can represent the natives of this planet; your opinion is very important to us," the Wombat insisted.

"I can't represent anyone, I only represent myself," Ma Lu shook his head, "Besides, I can't win over you guys. Even if I disagree with the outcome you decide, it would be useless and just a source of unnecessary frustration for me."

Yiyi said earnestly, "We came to this planet because we were disappointed with the Council at that time, seeing this place as a safe haven.

"Over the years, we have never interfered with the civilization process here; we have been diligently handling issues related to visitors from different dimensions, protecting the safety of this planet. You can consider this our 'rent payment.'

"I believe that there is a basis of mutual trust between us, and we indeed care about your opinions and those of the people here." Yiyi continued.

After considering, Ma Lu responded, "Alright then."

He then entered the glass room and once the Wombat closed the door, the Kangaroo adjusted the transparency of the glass to that of privacy glass commonly found in cars, obscuring the view of those outside from reading their lips while they spoke.

Impatient, Lu Hua Chicken immediately started the conversation, "I think their proposal isn't bad at all. If we can obtain the legal autonomy, we can continue to maintain the status quo."

"I also think they are serious this time," Kangaroo added, "Just look at their team. Not only the Councilman, but both Vice Speakers, various ministers, and even the scientific advisory group have come along. This shows how important this matter is to them."

Yet, the Black Mountain Goat remained skeptical, "Pfft, it doesn't matter what you say, I'll never trust the politicians of The Grand Alliance. These guys don't seem like good people."

Seeing the divergence in their opinions, Yiyi turned to Ma Lu, "Boss Ma, what's your take?"

"Come to think of it, don't you think they brought too many people this time?" Ma Lu stroked his chin.

At this, the Black Mountain Goat became agitated, "Damn it, had we known they'd come with so many people, we wouldn't have dined here. This time we really lost out; the semi-annual membership fees of the Earth Autonomy Management Committee are all eaten up by these folks."

The Wombat shifted slightly, "Boss Ma, you mean to say..."
