"Tell me your purpose for doing this!" Zhao Min remained calm despite the crisis.
"A team! Attack! Now!" Elaine tried her best to cover her body and shouted loudly to the surroundings. Under Zhao Min's oppressive gaze, she felt as if she was standing naked in front of Zhao Min - oh, this is not a metaphor - so she yelled out of control.
However, nothing happened. There was no response from his subordinates, and there was no burning muzzle, just like those who had just retreated into the darkness were now swallowed up by the darkness.
"A team! Answer me! Melanie! Elsa..." Elaine's voice became more and more helpless, almost crying. As a powerful and honorable member of the Asarit clan, she had never been in such a bad situation. At this moment, Zhao Min, with her back to the light, seemed to have changed from the stern and gentle Her Majesty in the past to an extremely frightening existence. But when she wanted to turn around and run away, she could only stay on the edge of the light, trembling all over.
The next level turned into a deep darkness again. The darkness that engulfed her companions seemed to be waiting for her to fall into its trap. In front of him was darkness that was thick enough to be substantial. Behind him, the open door looked like a monster's mouth, and there was the extremely terrifying Her Majesty the Queen. Elaine stood on the edge of the rectangle drawn by the light on the ground, as if standing on the tongue of a monster... The young Asari finally broke down, squatting on the edge of the light, and started crying.
Behind her, she didn't see Zhao Min covering her face in collapse.
Just as Elaine was crying. While awaiting the final verdict. A piece of clothing was draped over her body, and a warm hand gently stroked her head, "Silly girl. Still so timid." When she heard Zhao Min say this, it was as if she had returned to the time half a year ago. Suddenly he burst into tears desperately.
…
Speaking of which, the Asari special forces are really different from the human ones. Because the Asari are a federated tribe. Each tribe forms its own troops, and the criteria for selecting warriors are varied. Not all have strong psychological qualities. Moreover, Asari people have different ideas from humans. Because their lifespans can last for thousands of years, they value natural understanding more than mandatory training - as long as they live long enough. There will always be a day of enlightenment.
Coupled with the fact that the Asari are powerful in combat, have supernatural powers, live a long time, and are backed by the most powerful country in the galaxy, Elaine's team has always had smooth sailing in carrying out missions in the past, and has not encountered any setbacks at all... Although he looks tough on the surface, he is still a weakling mentally...
When she finally vented her grievances and fears. When the mood calmed down, he found himself naked in the arms of the queen sister, and his whole body was hanging on her body without any gaps. When she felt the Queen's sister's arm around her waist, her whole body felt hot. Everyone is feeling bad. Those arms seemed to have magic power, making her feel weak hanging on them, not wanting to leave at all. I just want to hug my sister tightly again. That feeling of happiness...even if Little Reimu looked at her with disdain, she didn't want to let go of her hand.
In fact, Reimu just lamented the contagious power of the "Dawn Virus". In her eyes, Elaine was just a victim - the original Gensokyo was like a paradise (imagination - but now? Green tea virus, ice cream virus , Lily virus, master-servant play virus... the invasion turned the beautiful Fantasyland into the evil of this world.
"Alas~" Little Reimu sighed faintly, "I am also a victim of being infected by the 'money-loving virus'."
****
"Pa~" The smooth buttocks were lightly patted, and Elaine's body trembled greatly. "Sister~Sister~"
"Why do you have to stop me? Now tell me honestly." Zhao Min asked in her ear, but there was no force in his tone. It has more flavor of teasing.
"Well, I will tell my sister the truth. Can you..." Elaine paused awkwardly, "I need a communicator connected to the headquarters to report the situation here, otherwise they will continue to attack. And mine How is your companion?"
"Don't worry, they just fainted, their lives are not in danger." Zhao Min gestured towards the darkness.
Elaine looked curiously at the direction Zhao Min was pointing. She could feel a creature moving in this direction, but no matter how she opened her eyes, she could only see deep darkness. It wasn't until a subtle rustling sound came in front of him that the true face of the visitor was revealed...
"Then...what is that?!" Elaine screamed and hugged Zhao Min tightly. She was sure that what she saw was definitely not a known species in the galaxy!
A six-armed snake demon more than three meters high swam out of the darkness silently. The snake demon is wrapped in black armor and walks through its abdomen and tail without making any sound at all. Moreover, it has the "Darkness of the Abyss"-like spell, which can wrap the snake demon in a layer of magical darkness that cannot be penetrated by sight, making the snake demon the best night killer! What's more, they have six arms and can switch between long-range firepower, cold weapons, and energy shields at any time. They are definitely the most perfect soldiers.
Although the version made by Ke Xue is not as powerful as the original version of Abyss. Due to the lack of growth conditions in the abyss and the long evolution time, the Dawn version of the six-armed snake demon lacks a large number of spell-like abilities. But after Kexue added the genes of the sand devils, the six-armed snake devils perfectly swallowed and transformed these genes (this is one of their evolutionary methods), thus not only forming scales on the body that function as personal armor. , and even possesses a weak ability to manipulate mass effect fields!
This move pushed the Dawn version of the Snake Demon onto the stage of an elite unit. Moreover, the intelligence of the six-armed snake demon is no different from that of ordinary people, and it is more calm and cunning when fighting. It is much stronger than the green-skinned rough guys. At present, it is only due to the limitations of core division that the overall number of six-armed snake demons cannot be expanded, and they can only be used as elite units and scientific research assistants.
The snake demon ignored the trembling Elaine. She threw the unconscious Asari in her hand into the circle of light, then meandered back into the darkness, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Don't be afraid. They are my guards." Zhao Min comforted her. She removed the communicator from the unconscious Asari and gave it to Elaine.
"I really don't know how many hidden cards my sister has..." Elaine looked towards the direction where the snake demon left with lingering fear. The six-armed snake man gave her a great sense of fear. "If possible, I definitely don't want to stand opposite my sister." Elaine turned on the communicator and quickly reported the situation here. After finishing. Elaine did not turn off the communicator. Next, she had to convince Zhao Min not to leave the building - the person on the other side of the communicator had the right to decide the bargaining chip.
"Then why is this happening now?"
"Because we can't let my sister leave with so much money, 8.5 billion star dollars in cash. It's too much!" Elaine whispered the intention of the person behind her and the entire Asari race. "Sister, we don't care about the dirty deals of the Wallers, nor the military secrets of the Turians you bought. As long as you don't leave with the money, you can do anything in Ilim! Whether it's buying supplies, Or start more companies, or even monopolize a certain industry in Ilim! I believe that with Asari’s support, no one dares to touch my sister’s interests!”
"But I remember, that seems to be my money?" Zhao Min smiled dangerously, "What the Asari means is that I can't decide where to put my money?!"
"Please, sister! Please listen to my explanation!" Feeling that Zhao Min was on the verge of bursting into anger again, Elaine hugged Zhao Min's neck tightly. "Please believe me, this time it is a conspiracy of the Wallers! On this planet, neither the Wallers nor the Asari can possibly come up with 6 billion star yuan in cash at once! This is the largest amount in the past ten years. Don’t you think it’s weird for a cash transaction?
Think about it, as a circulation port, although the planet Ilim has a transaction volume of trillions of stars every year, its average economic total is only about 200 billion stars. If you withdraw this 8.5 billion cash, it is likely to cause an instant financial shock, and then the Wallers will definitely take the opportunity to launch a sniper attack, breaking the entire financial chain of Ilim!
The second possibility is if we use force to keep you. So as long as you disappear or the news of your detention is leaked, the credibility of Planet Ilim will also suffer a devastating blow!
No matter what happens, this is what the Waller people want to see. At that time, they will take action and compete with the Asari people for control of the Ilim Freeport..."
We have said before that Xingyuan is a credit currency that is only determined by each person's creditworthiness and is not issued by any country (the biggest benefit is that the country can no longer rob private wealth by printing waste paper , to fill the financial hole created by themselves. Now that the credit and currency of the entire galaxy are integrated, the credit of each independent economic individual can be measured, transferred, and traded, which has become a star.
Therefore, Star Yuan Cash is no longer paper with anti-counterfeiting patterns, nor is it a simple number. It is a virtual entity - taking away 85 Star Yuan cash means the same thing as taking away the same amount of credit!
Therefore, for the planet Ilim, which has an average total amount of about 200 billion star yuan and a strong speculative atmosphere, it will indeed cause a considerable impact. Even as a lever, it is not impossible to induce changes in the superstructure.
With tears in her eyes, Elaine looked into Zhao Min's eyes and continued, "The news that you are carrying 8.5 billion in cash has been spread by someone unknown!
Outside the building, there are countless people waiting for you to leave, including careerists, conspirators, robbers, mercenaries who want to make a fortune...I am afraid that the entire Ilim is your enemy now! No ship in the port dares to send you away. Even if there is, there are still traces of many unknown ships outside the synchronous orbit of the planet Ilim... You are now the center of the entire Ilim vortex, and no one can sit back and watch you leave! I came with the advance team, just to keep my sister first, and then slowly convince her..."
At this time, the microphone that had been silent also rang at the right time, and a deep female voice came out. "Zhao Min, we have met once. Maybe you haven't paid attention to me, but I have paid attention to you for a long time... You have ambitions, and you have the ability to match your ambitions, and we have always cooperated very happily... You are very interested in the advance The team soldier's mercy made me see your less dark side, and also gave me a new idea." She paused, as if she needed to digest the impact of this idea. "Ilim should end this chaotic situation. Then the Asari are willing to support you to become the queen of Ilim!
She is not anyone’s puppet, she is a real queen - just like Omega’s Aria!”
"Ah!" This time, even Elaine shouted in surprise.
Omega Space Station - Omega Nebula. The Sarabaric system is a space station transformed from a hollowed-out metal planet. It is a safe haven for criminals, rebels and terrorists - and the Asari Elia is the controller of this space station with a population of 78 million, the uncrowned queen!
Zhao Min admitted. For a moment, her heart moved. Not because of power and ambition, but because of something else. But she soon realized that it was meaningless for her to secretly compete with Lu Yuan after so many years! ...Lu Yuan's eyes have been set on the changes in the entire plane and world. If you fight for a city or a place by yourself, you will only look petty.
So her alluring proposal to the Asari was put down lightly in the blink of an eye.
The Asari's nervousness also allowed her to understand many things that had been hidden behind the veil before.
On the surface, the planet Ilim is an independent, decadent trading planet located between the Realm Star Domain and the Citadel Star Domain, with a large number of smuggling transactions. Despite its superstructure. There is indeed a large Asari presence, but no one has ever considered this to be Asari territory - it is only partially acknowledged as an Asari colony.
This is because the style here does not match the traditional aesthetics of the Asari race. What's more, most of the Asari people here are "others" rejected by their own race. In traditional Asari territory. Ilim is regarded as a negative example and appears in Asari news almost every day.
But Zhao Min, who set foot in the upper class society of Ilim, discovered many traditional Asari people there. Zhao Min had already confirmed it from the details. These people don't like the culture here at all, but they persist in doing the "dirty" work here with a sense of sanctity, just like Elaine. Although they live in a world of feasting and feasting every day, they always give people the feeling of sacrificing their lives for the country...
So, after eliminating all possibilities, there is only one truth - Ilim is actually the cash lung of the Asari people. This is the answer to the question!
Not going into details here. To put it simply, the social structure of the Asari is still a tribal alliance. Because it advocates too much liberalism, it has never been able to couple the many races into a country in the true sense. Such a social structure has great weaknesses, especially the lack of unified finance.
In this case, overall financial security becomes the Asari's weak point. The existence of Ilim actually secretly plays the role of part of the Asari central bank... The Wallers saw this, and after they controlled the Turian economy by means within the rules, they began to The asari stretched out their claws. This is exactly what many people, even conservative forces within the Asari, want to see.
And Zhao Min's transaction is an opportunity created by the combined efforts of many parties...
Thinking of this, Zhao Min shook his head directly, "I refuse."
"Sister!" There was silence on the other side of the phone, and only Elaine shouted anxiously. She looked at Zhao Min with pleading eyes, and from the bottom of her heart she didn't want Zhao Min to fall out with the person on the other side of the phone.
"Don't worry," Zhao Min touched her head and said into the microphone, "I have a new proposal here. I only take away 1.5 billion in cash, and the rest will be used to buy an Asari. Detailed information on these weapons. And I guarantee that these technologies will not be used for purposes that endanger the interests of the Asari people, nor will they be handed over to any country. Regarding the above guarantees, we can restrict them through clear provisions. To the Asari people are powerful and I believe these documents can be used as laws."
7 billion star yuan! Only purchase information for one weapon! Elaine felt like she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe! All she had left was to hug Zhao Min!
After more than ten seconds, which seemed as long as centuries, the man's voice came from the microphone, "Tell me..."
Zhao Min smiled, and her delicate lips gently spit out four simple words, "Tian Ming fried rice."
"Destiny is extraordinary!" The person on the other side of the microphone exclaimed together with Elaine who was holding her!
