Chapter 30
“I’ll need to contact my superior, so please wait a moment…”
After saying this, Blenning left the meeting room in a hurry, leaving Mao Xiong and the synthetic humanoid staring at each other.
Li Wenyuan, on the other hand, didn’t understand why Blenning’s reaction was so big.
“Could it be that this kind of behavior doesn’t fit the standards of the lost civilization?”
That was his first thought, but he felt that something was wrong.
“That’s not right. He’s acting more like he’s scared… What kind of serious consequences will we face if we ask for the star map?
“Or… Is this some sort of signal from the ‘lost civilization’?”
He was still guessing, but he didn’t expect that Blenning was already sweating, and the artificial organs in his body were wildly synthesizing a sedative.
However, perhaps because he had used too much of it before, he had already developed antibodies. At this time, the sedative did not have much effect on him.
After going around a path, Blenning came to a closed room and called his superior.
“Hello? Aren’t you negotiating with the Administrator? Why are you calling so soon? Could it be that the negotiations had already ended? Or did you anger him…”
Seeing that his boss’s tone was becoming more and more dangerous, Blenning quickly replied,
“No, no, no, boss, listen to me. Everything is normal, but there’s a little accident…
“This unexpected situation is very important, and I have to inform you. If it’s possible, I hope you can also invite the Board of Directors…”
The boss on the other end of the communication device frowned when he heard this request and said unhappily,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What made you so flustered that you could even suggest inviting those VIPs? First, tell me what happened. If it’s just a trivial matter, you can change your remaining biological organs.”
The cold tone made Blenning shiver, but he quickly regained his spirit and told his boss.
“The Administrator didn’t accept our gifts. He only has one request, and that is, he needs the star map.”
“Star map? This kind of free thing…” the boss’s impatient voice suddenly stopped. Obviously, he also realized the possible consequences behind this small request.
There was a sudden jumble from the communicator. It sounded like someone hurriedly getting out of bed and getting dressed.
“I understand. This matter is indeed very important and we must treat it seriously. I’ll go talk to the Board of Directors now. Go back and calm the Administrator down. I will send the company’s decision to your chip.
“You did well this time. After this matter is settled, you should be able to return to the headquarters.”
If it was in the past, he would have been very happy to return to the headquarters, but now, he had no other thoughts except fear.
“Come on, Blenning, you have to calm down, just like how you’ve climbed from the bottom to where you are now. Nothing can affect your emotions,”
He tried to comfort himself, but he couldn’t calm down.
He had a feeling that a major event that would sweep the entire Milky Way was about to happen.
The scene changed to the Craybow headquarters.
This was a giant space station floating above the planet, and only high-level business people could stay there.
The planet below was a low-level world for the workers. The only ones living there were only corporate workers who had signed lifelong contracts with companies and could not get rid of them until they died.
Blenning’s boss rushed to the most luxurious building in the giant space station and gathered everyone through the exclusive contact method of the Board of Directors.
“Listen, there’s news from Space Ground No. 13. I know many of you have just woken up, but you have to be alert now.
“According to the information, the Administrator civilization needs a star map.”
The drowsy members of the Board of Directors didn’t react much at first, but they soon realized the meaning behind this action.
One of them immediately said, “He’s going to… Expand further?”
The biggest use of asking for a star map was to help one’s own spaceship find the closest route.
In the galaxy, exchanging star maps was already a common occurrence. Unless it was a civilization with a blood feud that they had never interacted with, no civilization would reject the exchange of star maps.
But for the lost civilization, it was a different situation.
“Is it already certain that the Administrator belongs to the category of ‘lost civilization’? Is it possible that an ordinary civilization that inherited a lost legacy is bluffing?”
Someone tried to raise an objection, but even his own voice seemed to be lacking in confidence.
“According to the records of the planners who only know how to collect and research knowledge, the last known period a ‘lost civilization’ made a move was about 20,000 years ago.
“That time, the fleet they sent out was the same size, with a Titan Battleship, tens of battlecruisers, and hundreds of frigates.
“That time, they were sent out to eliminate a Star Devourer. The result was very clean. The cosmic lifeforms that many Level 3 and Level 4 civilizations could not do anything about were easily eliminated.
“And most importantly, no one has discovered how the fleet of the ‘lost civilization’ appeared. Their technology seems to be completely different from ours, and they can travel at faster-than-light speed without the help of hyperspace.
“When we resolved the crisis of the bee colony, the evidence that we found proved that the Administrator is the same as the lost civilizations, and not some lucky person who received an inheritance.”
The series of evidence left all the directors in the meeting room speechless.
After a long while, one of them continued,
“From the way the Administrator asked for the star map, this ‘lost civilization’ is preparing to announce its existence to the galaxy again.”
“No, no, no. We can no longer call them ‘lost civilization’ at this point. After establishing contact with the interstellar society, he will regain his former territory.”
“Whether he is using a monarchy or not, at this time, we need to call him: The lost empire.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Let’s seize the time to please the Administrator, which is the lost civilization closest to us. We can also try to find out the attitude of the other lost civilizations toward the Administrator.”
“Has the giant stepped into a children’s playground? The situation in interstellar space will change drastically again…”
“This is a good thing. The more chaotic it is, the more opportunities there are. As long as we seize the opportunity to enter the market, we will be able to pull down those companies that are riding on our heads sooner or later…”
..
The Board of Directors discussed this at once, but in the end, they all made the same choice without exception.
They would give him the star map and try their best to befriend the Administrator civilization.
Blenning, who was still trying to tell a joke to a synthetic humanoid, finally received a message from the headquarters.
His mouth was dry, and he couldn’t wait to open the communication content, and then he got the result he expected.
He felt much more relaxed and humbly said to the synthetic humanoid,
“The headquarters has agreed to your request and has promoted your status to ‘permanent trading partner’. If you have any other needs, please let us know. We will do our best to satisfy you.”
This submissive attitude surprised Li Wenyuan in the virtual world, but he didn’t let the synthetic humanoid react.
From the current results, his disguise as the ‘lost civilization’ should have been a perfect success.
“Have you guessed my intentions? Although I’m indeed preparing to expand outward, the deterrence of the ‘lost civilization’ is really great. I have to seize the time to develop in the future to avoid being exposed…
“So, the first goal of this negotiation has been achieved. Now, we need to try to complete the second goal.”
His eyes flickered and the synthetic humanoid began to move.
A projection beam shone into the conference room. The words seemed to be the prototype of some kind of technology.
“I’m now in a state where I’ve completed most of the Level 5 technologies. Under such circumstances, what level of civilization am I equivalent to in this galaxy?”
Li Wenyuan, who was deep in thought, didn’t notice that Blenning, who knew a thing or two about technology, had gradually widened his eyes.
