Volume 3 Chapter 142: A Touch with Humans
"Get your things back? What did you leave behind?" The Chairman was still able to respond calmly. From this point, it can be seen that his psychological quality is indeed much stronger than Dopple's.
"Don't worry, we have no interest in the Galactic Alliance." Lin Xu naturally saw the other party's nervousness, and had no intention of being mysterious, so he said it directly.
"Really?" The chairman of the council perked up.
"I think you may have made a mistake. The Galactic Alliance may be very important to you. But to humans, it is nothing more than candy in a child's hand. Only children are always on guard for fear of being snatched away, but in fact adults have no interest in snatching it." Lin Xu said seriously.
"Candy in a child's hand? Haha, what a wonderful metaphor." The chairman laughed twice without showing any smile.
But whether he believed what Lin Xu said was another matter.
"No interest in the Galactic Alliance? I don't think you dare to have any interest in it." A reviewer made malicious speculation.
They are obviously members of newly emerging families with insufficient foundation.
In their view, their lack of interest in the Galactic Alliance is simply a matter of lack of strength.
If one is strong enough, who wouldn't want to take possession of such a huge galactic alliance?
Even if the current technological level of the Galactic Alliance is indeed inferior to that of humans, this vast territory alone is enough to make any being covetous.
Lin Xu looked at them, especially those reviewers who made sarcastic remarks again and again, and shook his head helplessly.
What is a frog in a well? This is a frog in a well .
The so-called firefly daring to compete with the bright moon is this kind of person.
So Lin Xu tapped the table a few times with his fingers.
Those figures instantly felt a huge pressure all over their bodies, which forced them to lie down on the table.
At the same time, as the pressure grew greater, waves of pain spread throughout the body, and some people even screamed.
"What did you do?" The chairman of the council controlled the urge to get up and run, because he knew that he couldn't run away.
"It just temporarily increased the gravity around them." Lin Xu said, and tapped the table again.
Suddenly, the screams could no longer be heard.
Because several people's mouths have been sealed.
"Okay, let's continue. In fact, human beings' purpose is very simple. What we want is just that high-dimensional object." Lin Xu said lightly.
"High-dimensional items? You mean item zero." The chairman of the review was stunned for a moment, then realized what Lin Xu was talking about.
It was the high-dimensional object that the Galactic Alliance obtained thousands of years ago, and it was said to be made by humans.
It was a pity that the Mechanical Emperor escaped at that time. It could be said that it was the most regrettable thing that happened to the Galactic Alliance in thousands of years.
From then on, the Galactic Alliance had a powerful opponent, who opposed the Galactic Alliance at every turn.
"Item No. 0?" Lin Xu looked at Dopple.
"Inside the Council, the code name for that item is Item Zero." Dopper immediately explained to Lin Xu.
"That's right. Item No. 0 was originally made by humans and left outside. We are just retrieving our things. As for the rest, we are not interested." Lin Xu nodded and explained.
"Just for item zero?" The chairman hesitated. If all humans wanted was item zero, there was actually room for negotiation.
Although Item Zero is very useful, the Council Chairman prefers to hand it over to ensure safety rather than go to war with humans.
"If it's just item number zero, we can hand it over. But before that, I want to know what humans think of the Council's actions?" The Chairman of the Council hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"Action? From a human perspective, you actually did quite well." Lin Xu nodded in appreciation.
"Not bad?" The chairman of the review was stunned.
The members of the thousand-year-old families were also stunned for a moment, because this was completely different from what they had imagined.
Only Dopple understood what they were thinking now, because he had thought the same thing before.
After all, the Council single-handedly led the effort to eliminate all human influences within the Galactic Alliance, and even erase the history of human existence.
They even surrounded and suppressed the God-given ones.
So how can humans possibly feel that they are doing a good job?
It's normal to hate it deeply.
This is also the reason why the reviewers were so frightened after confirming Lin Xu's identity.
Because everyone believed that, due to the Council's actions, the relationship between the two sides was hostile and there was absolutely no room for easing.
But now humans think that they are doing pretty well?
In an instant, everyone felt as if their fear itself was meaningless.
"I know what you are thinking, but the original purpose of humans establishing the Galactic Alliance was to eliminate disorder and filth. So as long as you can control the expansion of disorder and filth, humans don't care no matter what you do. Whether it's your encirclement and suppression of the God-Given Ones, or your elimination of human influence in history, humans don't care." Lin Xu explained casually, pointing his finger at the armrest of the chair.
However, his explanation made all the reviewers look at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Although the reviewers were all surprised by the answer, their reactions were different.
Those members of the aristocratic families with profound backgrounds all breathed a sigh of relief. If humans really didn't care, then it meant that they didn't have to be hostile to humans.
Just by using a high-dimensional item, you can gain human forgiveness. That’s really a huge profit.
However, the reviewers who did not have a strong background and a good understanding of humans sneered.
How could I not care? I just wanted to appease you idiots, and you actually believed it.
"Lord Lin Xu, please forgive my overstepping of authority."
Just then, Dopple suddenly spoke.
Lin Xu was a little curious about what he wanted to say.
"I want to remind you that humans have already ascended to a higher dimension and become true higher-dimensional beings. How can such trivial matters in the lower dimension possibly arouse the interest of great humans? So I advise you not to use our mortal thinking to imagine the thoughts of the true higher beings that have transcended this dimension."
Dopple looked at the thirty or so reviewers, each of whom showed a look of shock on his face as he explained, and he immediately felt extremely refreshed.
So, Mr. Dopper is now going further and further on the path to becoming an excellent lackey.
"The dimensional upgrade was successful, it should be so." A reviewer sighed after getting over the initial shock.
"Humans were originally chasing for higher dimensions. If they had not succeeded in upgrading, how could they have come back?" Others also had a sudden realization.
"High-dimensional creatures!"
Many reviewers just didn't think about it at the moment, otherwise, if Dopple had thought of the possibility before, how could they not think of it?
Now that Dopple had awakened them, more people were inclined to hand over item zero.
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. Now please vote on whether you are willing to hand over the item No. 0 you mentioned." Lin Xu looked at the reviewers.
At the same time, Lin Xu released his suppression on those troublesome reviewers.
Suddenly, several people regained their freedom and sat down on their seats, panting and gasping, while staring at Lin Xu with unfriendly eyes.
"So, who is in favor and who is against?" Lin Xu asked again.
All the reviewers, including the chairman, looked at each other.
Although Dopple was the first to raise his hand, in the eyes of many reviewers, he was already on Lin Xu's side and had no reference value.
"I agree." In the end, the chairman of the council raised his hand first.
In an instant, the eyes of all the reviewers were focused on the chairman.
Especially those troublemakers who were dissatisfied with Lin Xu, they never expected that the first person to surrender would be the Chairman of the Council.
"I agree."
"I agree."
"It's just a high-dimensional item. We can afford to lose it, so I agree."
As more and more people raised their hands, the result spoke for itself.
Except for a few who abstained, there were also a few troublemakers who chose to disagree.
Finally, the voting was over.
Of course, it is also possible that they were forced to agree under the current circumstances and due to pressure from Lin Xu.
If Lin Xu let them go, it would be hard to say whether they would regret it later.
But Lin Xu didn't care.
As long as he got the location coordinates of item zero, Lin Xu didn't care even if all these people changed their minds later.
"Very good, then tell me now, where is item zero?" Lin Xu asked.
The chairman glanced at the reviewers around the round table, and finally slowly told the coordinates of item zero.
"Item Zero is on a meteorite in the orbit of the fifth planet. That meteorite was originally intended to be used to build a meteorite museum, but later on, the museum was moved to another place under the pretext of choosing a new site. In fact, the place had already been built, and after a visual camouflage was put on, it was used as the storage place for Item Zero." The Chairman of the Council explained slowly.
"No wonder." Lin Xu nodded.
No wonder he turned on the high-dimensional perspective on the capital planet but did not find any trace of the high-dimensional object.
It turned out that it was hidden on a meteorite in the galaxy.
That makes sense.
Afterwards, Lin Xu accepted the electronic star map sent by the Chairman.
The location of the meteorite where item zero is located is marked in detail above.
"Thank you all for your cooperation. Now that the matter here is concluded, it's time for me to leave." Lin Xu stood up and said.
"Then I wonder if we should go with you?" The Chairman stood up as a matter of course.
The other reviewers stood up as well.
Although I am very unwilling, now that I have become a hostage it is a fact, so I should have some awareness of being a hostage.
"No need, I can go by myself. Don't you still have a meeting? Then you can continue with the meeting. I'm already an uninvited guest, so I won't disturb you any further." Lin Xu said with a polite smile.
But his answer surprised all the reviewers.
What's going on? Don't you want me to be a hostage?
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xu took Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu and Lu Yao and walked out of the conference hall openly.
Dopple hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not follow him out.
Just like that, the gate was opened, and Lin Xu and his party walked out calmly amid the stunned eyes of many security personnel outside the gate.
The security personnel immediately became confused, and some of them pretended to step forward to arrest these guys of unknown origin.
Some drew their guns and pointed them at Lin Xu and others, while others were at a loss as to whether this man who walked out of the conference room where a meeting was taking place was an enemy or a friend.
It was not until a shout was heard in the hall that the security personnel stopped.
The chairman of the council looked at Lin Xu and his group with complicated eyes as they walked through the gate and left the council.
Then he flew straight into the sky, and soon his figure disappeared among the layers of buildings.
Above the round table of the council, holographic projections flashed by, and the images of Lin Xu and his group appeared on them.
"He just left like that?" Some commentators seemed to still not be able to believe this fact.
"Is this the confidence of mankind?" sighed a commentator.
"I think it seems like they are just trying to be mysterious. I suggest that the Capital Fleet be dispatched immediately. They only have a few people. How can they defeat the fleet?" One of the troublemakers who had just been disciplined by Lin Xu slammed the table and shouted.
"How dare you! Do you want the Galactic Alliance to be destroyed forever? They are humans, humans. We cannot fight against them at all." Dopple accused immediately.
"So what if we're human? Is our fleet just for show? You surrendered without even touching us. I think you're scared by humans, right?"
His words of surrender without even a single word touched many of the reviewers' hearts.
Even the members of those ancient families are well aware of the horror of humans.
But after so many years, the pride of the Galaxy Alliance still made them feel ashamed of their surrender without any resistance.
"Hmph, a bunch of cowards." A troublemaker who had just been disciplined slammed the door and left.
The other troublemakers looked at the room full of reviewers, turned around and chased after them.
"What do they want to do?" a commentator broke the silence.
"No matter what they do, it is their private behavior and has nothing to do with us." A commentator followed.
"But, with just a few of them, we can't mobilize the fleet in the capital area!"
"I will give orders to my people not to stop them." A commentator said after a moment's silence.
The other reviewers looked at each other and began to contact their own people.
In short, let those reviewers do whatever they want to do.
We don't stop it, but we don't help it either.
If something goes wrong it's their fault and we know nothing about it.
Dopple was helpless as he watched this scene.
In fact, everyone is very unwilling, but they dare not stand out.
Now that someone has come forward, let them try their luck.
It is also a good opportunity to identify the quality of human beings.
If human beings are still as terrible as they were ten thousand years ago, or even more terrible, then it is nothing more than kneeling more thoroughly.
So the reviewers turned their eyes to the round table again, where they were still tracking the figures of Lin Xu and others.
Because the shot was zoomed in with a telephoto lens, no sound can be heard, but the picture is still very clear.
"Lord Lin Xu, the fleet of the capital planet seems to be moving." Miss Qiu reported.
"Are you still unwilling to accept it? It doesn't matter. Since you are unwilling to accept it, just let them suffer some losses." Lin Xu didn't care.
At the same time, he waved his hands, and the space around him opened up, and the Skylark slowly flew out.
Afterwards, Lin Xu and others boarded the Skylark and began to accelerate towards the location of the meteorite where item No. 0 was stored.
At the same time, the reviewers who watched the entire process of the Skylark's appearance frowned.
"How did the spaceship just appear? How did he summon it out of thin air?"
"I don't know, what kind of technology is this? Can space teleportation even teleport spaceships?"
"Will he not send an entire fleet over here in a while?" one of the reviewers said hesitantly.
"This, can't be!"
Several reviewers were speechless for a while.
At this time, the fleet in the capital area has been summoned.
There are not only fleets around the capital star, but also countless warships scattered throughout the capital galaxy.
It can be said that those reviewers gathered the strongest fighting force in the entire capital area in the shortest time.
At one time, tens of thousands of warships, spread across every corner of the galaxy, converged towards one place.
Although they look very arrogant on the surface, they are actually very cautious when facing humans.
They gathered their strongest fighting power all at once, just in case something went wrong.
For a moment, the people in the entire capital galaxy looked at the warships in the galaxy gathering and thought that an exercise was going to be conducted somewhere.
After all, the Galactic Alliance has been at peace for a long time, and the city is the capital star system. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible that they are really going to go to war.
If the enemy can be allowed to fight all the way to the capital galaxy, the Galactic Alliance will be doomed.
So many people took out their video equipment and prepared to film a large-scale exercise into space.
"Looking at the scale, are all the fleets dispatched?"
"This scale is too big, don't you think it's a bit weird?"
"What could be wrong? Could it be a war? It's nothing more than a temporary exercise on a larger scale. We can just watch the fun."
Lin Xu was naturally aware of the gathering of the fleet in the capital area, but he didn't care.
The Skylark continued to move towards the meteorite where Item Zero was.
The Skylark did not accelerate to its fastest speed; it could even be said that it was slowing down as it waited for the capital fleet to gather.
Since the target of these fleets is obviously himself, Lin Xu plans to board the meteorite after dealing with the fleet.
After all, Lin Xu didn't want to be disturbed by some mosquito-like warships while he was capturing high-dimensional objects.
The fleet in the capital area did not make Lin Xu wait too long. It might be because those reviewers were afraid that Lin Xu would run away out of fear.
In this way, one warship after another soon gathered on the route that Lin Xu had to take to reach the meteorite.
Tens of thousands of warships, each of which is tens of thousands of meters in size, plus countless smaller warships, densely packed together, blocking the space ahead.
In contrast, Lin Xu only had a small spaceship of over a hundred meters, and he was alone in fighting against a huge fleet of tens of thousands of warships.
All the reviewers in the review council were watching the holographic projection on the table.
Or he is an astronomy enthusiast on the planet, secretly spying on the sky.
Everyone then saw an incredible sight.
That is, countless space channels suddenly opened up next to the small spaceship.
Warships of various shapes rushed out from the space channels and headed straight for the warship group in front.
Those were warships made up of autonomous mechanical aggregates, pouring out from the space channel one after another, as if there was no end.
"Has humankind's space teleportation technology become so terrifying?" Looking at the scene on the round table, a commentator swallowed.
"They are human beings after all."
"We may not necessarily lose. The number of these warships is not greater than ours, and their size is much smaller."
"Indeed, even if the human warships are more technologically advanced, they will certainly suffer heavy losses."
The reviewers cheered themselves up.
Then, immediately afterwards, it was as if it was a deliberate slap in their face.
The warships of both sides collided with each other.
Although the battleship composed of autonomous mechanical aggregates has added most of its functions to attack and is completely used as a temporary battleship in the mode of a drone, the only defense it has is still far greater than the defensive capabilities of the opposing battleship group.
As for the attacking ability, there is no need to mention it.
In short, at just one encounter, the warships of the Capital Fleet were blown up one after another.
The temporary warships were like a group of tanks rushing into a group of infantry, violently harvesting the warships of the capital fleet.
In just a few moments, more than one-third of the warships of the Capital Fleet were destroyed.
However, the temporary warships suffered only single-digit losses.
Seeing this scene, not only the reviewers who were leading the warship attack were dumbfounded.
The many commentators watching all this at the round table in the back were also dumbfounded.
The astronomy enthusiasts who were secretly watching were even more dumbfounded.
What's going on? Isn't this just a drill? Didn't you see that the battleship was blown up? Is this true?
"Retreat, retreat immediately. We cannot continue fighting, or the fleet will be destroyed." The council members sitting around the round table in the council could no longer sit still.
The fleet of the entire metropolitan area is not just the property of a certain councilor, but the property of all councilors.
Who wouldn't feel sad when he was beaten to death in such a short time?
"Yes, we can't fight anymore. There's no point in continuing. Tell them to retreat quickly."
"But will they retreat?"
Some reviewers have already realized that those reviewers who are stubborn enough to try it out have no way out.
This was indeed the case. Several commentators who were in charge of the warship attack watched their warships being blown up one after another.
For a moment, he felt like a gambler who had lost the bet.
All the chips are on the line.
It doesn't matter whether these chips are yours or not.
