Chapter 674: Transaction and A-level Meeting
In a confidential area within Holivia, an emergency order was received earlier and all outsiders had been cleared out.
There is basically a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps on the periphery, and high-level figures arrive one after another.
However, there was no warning video inside this area. Several important figures from the top of Hollivias were waiting here early, as if they were welcoming someone.
Malos was also among them, and he held a high position, at the forefront.
Holivians is a pan-racial civilization whose main ruling race is called Holivians, who are not too different from interstellar humans.
Overall, it is quite tall, with a skeleton 1.5 times that of an interstellar human, and everything else is similar.
In fact, the political form is a parliamentary system. The three speakers govern the entire civilization. There are also royal families among them, but they only represent mascots and do not have any real rights.
There were three people standing behind Malos, representing the three speakers. They looked calm on the surface, but their eyes shook from time to time, indicating that they were not at peace in their hearts.
One of them hesitated for a moment and said, "We are the only ones here to greet you. There is not even a guard of honor. Isn't that too disrespectful?"
"Are you sending out the honor guard because you're afraid that others won't know that we're in contact with the alien camp?" Another person sneered.
"Your Excellency Long Zun is not fussy about small matters, but you should also know that now is not the time to be high-profile."
The three speakers jointly control Holivias, and there are many conflicts between them, and these conflicts will be passed on to the people below.
Malos didn't even turn his head and said indifferently: "I have already told him, Long Zun expressed his understanding, he just came here to trade."
“You don’t even have to contact the top management.”
"Uh..." The three of them were silent. It would definitely not work without contacting the top management.
Although the Alien Camp was being hunted down by the Star Empire, it had nothing to do with them. If possible, they would not mind cooperating with the Alien Camp.
"Here it comes..." Malos suddenly reminded, which made the three of them subconsciously straighten their chests and restrain their expressions.
A large transport spaceship landed. The temporary parking lot here was a half-moon-shaped platform parallel to the waist of the main building, suspended in the air by anti-gravity technology.
After landing, the spaceship slowly opened and Li Yu walked out of it.
He looked around. The place looked very simple, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. There was still some dust in the corners, as if it had not been cleaned thoroughly.
This kind of meeting environment could hardly be called appropriate, but Malos had informed him in advance, and this was also his suggestion, and he did not want to attract attention.
Hunter, Andre and some researchers came out of the spaceship one after another, while Malos and three senior executives had already come over.
"Mr. Longzun, it's better to meet you in person than to hear about you for a long time. You are indeed as young as the rumors say." Malos exclaimed.
"Yes, Speaker Moros often mentions you to inspire our young people in Holivias." said one of them.
"I have also longed to come to Hollivias for a long time. It is my honor to be able to come here this time." Li Yu said with a smile.
After a while of business exaggeration, both sides went to the meeting room that had been prepared long ago and started to get down to business.
"The void beast has been brought here and can be exchanged at any time." Li Yu said to Malos. He could already see it.
The other three were just attitude people sent by the three Speakers of Hollivia to show their respect for the alien dimension camp.
The person mainly responsible for this transaction was still Malos.
Malos nodded and said sensibly, "The time differential is outside. I'll have someone move it in right away."
The specific transaction had already been finalized during the video meeting, and now it is just a formality.
Outside the conference room, the time differential was placed in a metal cabin.
After being opened through numerous encryption measures, what appeared before everyone was a large metal structure that was severely deformed and damaged, and its material and function were completely unrecognizable.
It is roughly square, with a side length of about ten meters.
In front of Li Yu stood a small building, its surface covered with twisted metal plates.
Jagged fragments of parts protruded from under the broken metal plates.
All parts of it are completely black, but it is not known whether it was originally this color or became like this later.
Li Yu could not feel any noteworthy energy reaction inside it. Although there was a trace amount of radiation and energy, it was not enough to operate.
It looked like a piece of discarded metal salvaged from a battlefield.
If there is anything that is eye-catching, it is that this lump of alloy is indeed ugly.
"Is this the time differential?" Li Yu looked strange. This thing was far different from what he had imagined.
With his eyesight, he could even see through the cracks in the lump of metal and see the metal gears inside it that had broken but were still fitted together.
This appears to be an ancient gear mechanism, like a vintage-style mechanical watch that runs on power and gears.
"Yes..." Malos nodded, with a helpless look on his face, "Although it doesn't look like it, this thing is a time differential."
"According to our information, it should be a module on the Dimension Ship, used to regulate time."
Malos walked forward and patted the alloy lump, which made a dull metallic impact sound:
"Your Excellency should also know how tempting it is to manipulate time. I will not hide it from you. We have spent a lot of money to get something useful from it."
"Unfortunately, we didn't get anything in the end and had to throw it in the warehouse."
Li Yushen agreed, "It is indeed difficult to repair the damage to this extent."
Then he told Andre that he had never seen a time differential and could only identify it through Andre.
Andre seemed a little hesitant. After staring at the time differential for a long time, he asked some researchers who followed him to come forward and fiddle with it for a while, and then he nodded with difficulty.
After all, this thing has become so unrecognizable that even if he has seen it, it is definitely not like this.
Malos glanced at Andre calmly, knowing that this guy should be a key figure.
Immediately, Li Yu ordered his men to pull out the cage in which Bevill was imprisoned from the transport spacecraft.
But Bevill, who was still alive, is now dead.
"Dead?" Malos frowned slightly. From what Li Yu had said before, it seemed that he was still alive.
"Yes, I was careless and too ruthless when I attacked him before. He was seriously injured and died." Li Yu said apologetically: "This is our mistake. I am really sorry."
Of course he couldn't let this thing live, after all, it had witnessed the Eternal Titan and the Titan he had become.
"this……"
Malos hesitated slightly. When this void beast was alive, it had more value than just its body.
There is also the information value it carries as an experimental subject of the Titan of Life.
Now that he is dead, the overall value has been greatly reduced, which deviates from the transaction conditions that were initially set.
The other three people looked at each other, and someone said, "It's just a small matter, it won't cause any trouble."
Malos cast a glance over and realized that the three Speakers should have informed the others of the unexpected situations they could withstand before leaving.
The death of the void behemoth should also be included in this emergency plan.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem." Malos also nodded.
Li Yu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Holivias civilization would reveal this matter so easily.
He was prepared to pay some extra price.
Is this a gesture of goodwill to us? Li Yu pondered secretly, and suddenly realized, and was speechless.
There is only me in the camp in the other dimension, there is no us. I have been cheating others all day and have gotten used to it.
"Thank you for your understanding. I've heard that Hollyvias is a civilized and steady person who treats others kindly. It's true." Li Yu gave Marlowe and the others free flattery, which made them feel good.
They had also heard this kind of praise from other people, but hearing it from Li Yu was a completely different feeling.
After all, the other party is the famous Dragon Lord and the representative of the alien dimension camp.
"It will take some time for both parties to verify. Why don't we talk about other things?" suggested the man with attitude.
Although both parties determined that there were no major problems with the transaction items after the first round of inspection, more detailed inspections are still needed to further confirm.
"No problem." Li Yu also smiled, willing to give the other party this face.
Back in the conference room, several people were waiting for the specific test report, chatting intermittently, mainly about some superficial topics.
After a few hours, Malos glanced at the time and suddenly said, "It seems that the A-level meeting is about to begin."
"Is it today?" Li Yu was a little surprised. He didn't care much about this matter.
"Well, Lord Longzun, are you interested in taking a look?" Malos invited.
Li Yu did not hesitate too much, chuckled twice and said, "Of course I'm interested."
In fact, he is not indifferent to the affairs of the A-level alliance. After all, he still has a [Justice League] prop.
This thing cannot be used in a virtual alien-dimensional camp, but it can be used in an A-level alliance.
His indifference was only about this meeting.
There is no doubt that this meeting will not produce anything interesting, let alone finalizing any specific details.
It's difficult to establish an A-level alliance, but since I'm free now, it might as well go and take a look.
This A-level meeting is held on an invitation basis. Only A-level life forms who invite each other are eligible to participate.
Although it is impossible to completely eliminate those who come to watch the fun, it is also impossible to make everyone in the galaxy participate.
Malos had someone bring in the projection equipment, and then sent an invitation to Li Yu. With the arrival of the bright blue light, the surroundings began to change.
This is a vast enclosed space. It is difficult to say exactly how big it is. After all, it is a virtual meeting of the interstellar network and can be infinitely magnified.
It is roughly square in shape, and the ground is divided into several areas using straight blue and black lines.
The four walls are covered with a silver-white alloy, and the ground is a darker grayish white, giving it the texture of a battleship's armor plate.
The sky is a dark starry background with many twinkling stars.
There are many positions neatly arranged in these areas, and now people are appearing in an endless stream, causing a lot of noise.
Recording is not allowed in this virtual conference room, and all projections are blurred to hide identities.
"Although this is just a meeting of a mob, I'm afraid there are many spies from various civilizations hiding among them." Malos' tone suddenly became arrogant.
This has never happened before when talking to Li Yu.
After all, he is the supreme guardian of the Holivias civilization. It would be surprising if he didn't have any arrogance in his heart.
But in front of Li Yu, he didn't think he had anything to be proud of.
But in front of this group of generally low-level A-level life forms, this arrogance was clearly visible.
"A mob?" Li Yu smiled and did not comment.
Malos continued, "I'm afraid this meeting won't produce any results. Without a leader of sufficient weight, it's just a waste of time."
From Malos's point of view, the A-level alliance is not a good thing. It means that Hollyvias will have to be cautious when doing things secretly in the future.
Li Yu said meaningfully: "A single spark can start a prairie fire. Even if this meeting doesn't produce any results, it will be a good thing."
"But after the meeting, the concept of the A-level alliance will be more deeply rooted in the interstellar world. If one person comes out to call for it, it will become a prairie fire."
It is not only successful actions that are meaningful.
At least before this meeting, the concept of A-level alliance did not exist in the minds of interstellar citizens, and the concept did not arise in the hearts of many A-level life forms.
But after this meeting, things were different.
"Hmm, that's right."
Malos also knew this. What large civilizations have been doing for so many years is to constantly extinguish the fire.
But now, the trend has become unstoppable.
He continued, "However, people with enough appeal and prestige are already high up. Why would they want to offend the Star Empire and other civilizations? No one wants to become the public enemy of the advanced interstellar civilizations."
"The A-level alliance may seem like a huge armed tool, but it has no effective rules or operational capabilities at all."
"For a long time to come, this will be a bloated organization that will drag down every person and force that takes over!"
Malos' tone was full of confidence.
