Chapter 633: The One in Fur Coat Fought Quite Well

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

And the group started fighting. Ling Xiaoyi, Li Yang and the rest of the lackeys gave the soldiers a good beating.

When the fight was over, Li Yang approached Hong Dali forlornly and said, “Young Master, I’m very sorry. I accidentally damaged all the fruits... these people are really too weak. They seem kind of effeminate. There’s not even one amongst them that can fight.” At this, he sighed and recalled the battle that had just taken place. “Oh, there was one in a fur coat who fought quite well.”

After hearing what Li Yang said, Hong Dali nodded nonchalantly. However, the Bureau Chief was trying hard not to burst out laughing—beautifully done!

Deca, with Shelley and Susan, stared dumbstruck at the elite soldiers lying on the ground. Then they looked at the City-level alien beast lying on the ground, and a chill ran up their spines.

That was a Dark Air Slasher Bear! A City-level beast! It was a terrifying creature with all its attributes above three hundred points. With its strength and agility, it would have no problems dispatching a group of elite soldiers.

In the end, it was defeated and lying among the other fallen soldiers? The other party did not even get to see clearly what it was...

The other side had just three men. The rest were women. God, what kind of planet did Hong Dali live on? Are they from a warrior race?

No! This would not do! They should not be allowed to be so arrogant! They have to be made to understand that it’s meaningless to defeat ordinary soldiers. We would definitely be able to defeat them with our superior battle abilities. Even if we are unable to conquer them, we should be able to give them a scare. At least when it’s time to trade, we would still have the upper hand.

This was Deca’s difficulty.

Simply put, Deca’s planet only had three space carriers. Including the soldiers, there were about 300,000 people on-board their space carriers. If they were to go to war with Earth and win, there would not be much of an issue. Just a volley of cannons from the space carrier would be sufficient to completely destroy Earth. The problem was, just destroying the opponent was meaningless. They would not be able to land or get their hands on the precious raw materials. If they completely destroyed Earth they would be making a loss—the Immium alloy, which they needed for space warp, was a precious energy metal. Every trip would cost 2.4 billion galaxy dollars. This amount of Galaxy Dollars was not a small sum, and it might take a few years to earn back such a big amount!

Hence, Deca could only fall back on another plan, which was to threaten the opponent and force the opponent to yield to their wishes.

Look, the level of our technology was far beyond yours and our people had a higher battle capability than yours. However, we are not planning to attack you. Instead, we want to trade with you, so you should show some sincerity. You should be letting us have whatever catch our fancy at a greatly reduced price, or to show your sincerity, you could offer it to us for free. We wouldn’t mind...

In general, this was what Deca planned to do. He was already here, he could not possibly return empty-handed!

“Little brother Dali,” Deca pretended to be stunned and then said to Hong Dali, “I have just received news that my father is here too. He’s having fun with some friends at a location not far from here...” Then, he conveniently came up with an excuse for the presence of the soldiers. “Those soldiers are my father’s personal bodyguards. They’re a pathetic bunch, little brother Dali, please do not take offense. Hehe, hehe.”

Deca laughed dryly while Shelley and Susan kept their faces straight.

This man, Hong Dali, seemed to have a lot of resources under his control. All his subordinates were so powerful! What was the situation now? What was he, how did he have so much power under his control?

The nine lackeys would have been relatively powerful even if they were judged at a Galactic level. Any of them would have no problem drawing a salary of one thousand Galaxy Dollars!

“Susan, Hong Dali seems to be really powerful.” Shelly said softly, “How about you try to seduce him?”

“How should I seduce him?” Susan raised her hands helplessly. “His fiancée and the artiste are both so pretty.” Susan had a look of despair by then. “We have no chance...”

“That’s true.” Shelly shook her head. “Against those two, and his subordinates...”

This was a big blow, it was simply too depressing.

Just then, Hong Dali said, surprised, “Eh, Uncle is here too? We should go and meet him. Where is he? Let’s go now!” He gestured to Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei who were not too far away, and said, “Xinxin, Sister Nianwei, come quickly. Deca’s father is coming, he is an elder, we should greet him.”

“Oh, okay!” After all, they had to show some respect. Tang Muxin hurriedly took Li Nianwei’s hand and ran over. “Let’s go now?”

“Okay, let’s go meet him.” Hong Dali snapped his fingers. “Let’s go!”

Since the leader Hong Dali had spoken, everyone started off in the direction of Deca’s father Graham.

Along the way, Deca remembered his task to inquire about the news. He whispered, “Dali, how come there are only so few people here today? Are there only about ten people here?” They were headed to Graham’s camp. The group just consisted of Hong Dali, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, the nine lackeys, plus the Bureau Chief.

“Yes.” Hong Dali followed Deca and said, “I didn’t call too many people on my side, I thought to just bring a few friends to have a look around and acclimatize.

“Oh, your friends all seem rather powerful,” Deca replied casually. Then, he asked, “Oh, by the way, Dali, what kind of energy do you use? For example, what kind of power do you use in your daily life?” After he asked this question, it was obvious his breathing quickened.

Energy. From the science of humans, energy represented the technological advancement level of a civilization.

In historical times, most of the energy used was from natural sources. For example, manual labor or horses and cows. A little better would be hydro power. That would have been the limit.

In recent times, steam power, or electricity, was used. Steam locomotives, engines, etc.

In modern times, the commonly used energy was fuel or solar energy. At the higher end was nuclear power.

In the universe, such an energy model represented the technological advancement of a civilization. It was not possible that a civilization that was still riding horses and farming would be using nuclear power.

This question that Deca asked was a very specific one. No matter how Hong Dali answered, it would be easy to expose Earth’s technological level.

When the Bureau Chief heard Deca’s question, he tensed up. It was obviously a question about Earth’s technological level and had to be handled with care. The Bureau Chief intended to answer the question, but after thinking about it, he decided that since Hong Dali was present, he would just keep quiet and listen. It wouldn’t be too late to talk about the rest when he went back.

“Oh, source of energy?” Hong Dali thought about it. “Basic mode of transport is walking, basic mode of communication is shouting, basic means of keeping warm is by shivering, and basic means of security is using dogs...” action

After listening to Hong Dali’s reply, the Bureau Chief barely managed to contain his laughter. Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and everyone else had already doubled over with laughter. Everyone in the group was laughing uncontrollably.

The brat, his answer had too much attitude and was simply too ridiculous. He even managed to think of such a answer, nice!

“This...” Hong Dali talked about the basics and he might as well not have said anything. The information was useless. Deca did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Not this, well, let’s take, for example, spacecraft and other things, what kind of power do they use?”

The previous question did not yield any useful information, and Deca quickly changed a tactic.

In general, the power source used in the spacecraft could also reflect the technological level of the civilization—of course, if there were no spaceships, it was even simpler...

This time, Deca listened carefully. The Bureau Chief was also listening carefully.

To be honest, he was also very curious about Hong Dali’s answer—because Hong Dali’s answer was very likely to represent the “method” he had previously mentioned to deal with the aliens!

“This,” Hong Dali rubbed his chin and thought about it. “It’s called a Small High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine or something? Anyway, it seems to be a very high-tech item, but we have not made it yet...”

Small High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine, high-energy electronic power!

Once he heard the phrase, Deca frowned.

This planet had just connected to the Galaxy Virtual Network and they were already using high-energy electronic power? How could it be?!

As a Cosmic-level universal energy source, high-energy electronic power meant that the civilization was able to travel between stars. Which meant, if the planet where Hong Dali was located had really started to use high-energy electronic power, then their weapon capabilities would absolutely not be much much weaker than Deca’s.

If that was the case, even if Deca had come with thirty or even three hundred star battleships instead of just three, there was no chance of them colonizing the planet.

It might be possible with a Planet-level starship, but it still did not mean that they could colonize it just because they wanted it. They would still have to pay a hefty price.

“Ah, you’re so powerful. You’re already using high-energy electronic power?” Deca exclaimed, “Doesn’t that mean you can already do interstellar travel?”

According to the official civilization levels of the Milky Way, the ancient era on Earth where everything was made by hand was the lowest level of civilization. It was barely civilized and still not current.

When it got to steam power, it was considered a Level One civilization.

Higher, with electronic power, it was considered a Level Two civilization.

A little higher, with nuclear power, which was the current true level of science and technology on Earth, it was considered a Level Three civilization.

Further up was fusion power, that was the kind of nuclear fusion reactor in Iron Man, this was regarded as a Level Four civilization.

Finally, there was high-energy electronic power. At this stage, their civilization level in the Galaxy would be enough for them to join as a member of the Galaxy Alliance. This was when they became a Level Five civilization.
