When Captain Elizabeth Woodville walked out of the administrative center gate of the Border Inspection Space Station, her eyes looked at Yang Tianyi with a big change. Although it is still very fierce, it has lost a lot of condescending scrutiny.
There is no other reason. As a cadet who knows almost nothing about any field except naval command, Captain Elizabeth has full enthusiasm for learning all the new things she comes into contact with after leaving the Federation. Therefore, instead of saying that she accompanied Yang Tianyi to conduct secret transactions with the Dilian Customs, it is better to say that the other party risked the failure of the transaction to teach her knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to have access to.
In order to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, the captain turned his head and glanced at Yang Tianyi curiously, and then the special power of the psychic latent body came out.
"Although most of the planets within the Federation are implementing rationing, I did several businesses on behalf of the Navy when I was in the United Stars. I think it is a test for us fleet commander candidates. I believe you can understand this."
Yang Tianyi had to admit that he was indeed a little surprised when the girl's cold voice with a hint of intimacy suddenly sounded in his head. After all, according to his understanding of psychic powers, only after completing the second awakening can psychics establish spiritual communication channels with other psychics or latent bodies through the virtual realm.
Now Elizabeth can actually master this kind of power that only true psychics can possess during the latent stage. It has to be said that the other party is indeed extremely talented.
Thanks to the spiritual channel built by the captain on his own, Yang Tianyi also benefited from it and experienced the magic of spiritual communication in advance.
I saw him subconsciously moving his lips, quickly mastering the vocal skills, and then complimented in the girl's mind: "Miss Woodville is really a one-of-a-kind psychic genius. I hope to communicate with you more about psychic things in the future."
After nodding in response to the flattery, the Captain asked her question without hesitation.
"If the garrison commander who is guarding himself against theft did not exaggerate the facts, then the smuggled goods stored in this Star Gate border checkpoint are worth at least 15 million credits. Compared to the price you gave, well... ." The captain pondered for a moment and then continued: "To be honest, I have never seen such a ruthless bargaining method before."
Elizabeth asked herself, if she could use five million credit points in exchange for a batch of scarce resources worth tens of millions that were beneficial to the federation, she would never continue to press like Yang Tianyi and take the risk of falling out with the other party by bargaining randomly. .
Glancing at the smiling young man next to him, the captain shook his head in shame - because the final offer given by this guy was only a mere 1.5 million credits, one-tenth of the total value of the goods. Maybe less.
"Haha, I just thought you were complimenting me." Yang Tianyi took out the identification card representing the identity of the group personnel from his pocket and replied with a smile: "As you can see, with the help of some professionals, Qunxing Group has established a small but complete smuggling network within Dilian."
"Thanks to their keen sense of smell, I have the confidence to fight to the end with that weak lieutenant colonel."
Under the captain's thoughtful gaze, Yang Tianyi narrated the whole story.
Shortly after Sechika Rexga surrendered to the group and arrived at the border of the Earth Alliance, this person immediately gathered the contacts and smuggling network he had painstakingly established, including administrative officials from more than ten Earth Alliance colonies and officers of the border fleet. , owners or managers of hundreds of smuggling fleets.
With the intelligence provided by these worms and informants in important positions, the cunning Hazbuzan sent an encrypted text message to Yang Tianyi, who was doing nothing on the fleet flagship all day long after the task force set off.
There is not much content in the quantum message. It just says that the fleet will pass through a border inspection space station that stocks a large amount of hot contraband. Among them, a group of indigenous civilizations are entrusted to the interstellar freight company in exchange for rare minerals and works of art for industrial products. Because some He was detained by the border inspection station for unknown reasons.
The key is that this batch of goods is different from the vast majority of smuggled goods. They are official goods that have left obvious traces in the galactic market and are registered. Sooner or later, they will be found by the indigenous civilization that has not yet been paid.
If the border checkpoint fails to remove all the goods and destroy the evidence by then, the reputation of the Earth United Nations among the indigenous civilizations that it has worked so hard to accumulate may suffer a heavy blow.
Therefore, for the garrison commander at the border checkpoint, only by delivering the seized items stored in the warehouse as soon as possible can he avoid being taken to Earth and subjected to trial by law enforcement agencies. And considering the tradition of the Supreme Court of the Earth Alliance allowing alien citizens to join the jury, once the incident comes to light, the chance of him escaping trial is approximately zero.
After receiving the encrypted message, Yang Tianyi immediately became interested. You must know that today, as the group's sphere of influence is growing, he has not discussed business with anyone in person for a long time, especially this kind of unequal transaction with hugely different negotiating positions.
It was after combining all the advantages at hand and facing the seemingly reasonable offer from the Lieutenant Colonel of the Ground Alliance that Yang Tianyi dared to calmly wave his hand and refuse, and directly bid for 1.5 million World Credit Points. In addition, he also promised the lieutenant colonel that he would use his personal connections to help the other party's only son get into the higher education institution of his choice.
Faced with such "favorable" conditions from the group, the lieutenant colonel had no choice but to accept them.
After learning the truth behind the transaction, Elizabeth touched her smooth chin and her eyes flickered.
Intelligence agencies alone can achieve this level. The smuggling network arranged by Qunxing Group within the Dilian is by no means as simple as Yang Tianyi said. I just don’t know if the Stars Group is willing to hand over this intelligence network to federal supervision if an irreconcilable conflict breaks out between the People’s Federation and the Ground Federation in the future.
In order not to destroy the delicate atmosphere between the two, Elizabeth suppressed her desire to continue asking questions, and instead actively extended an olive branch of goodwill to the other party.
"You just mentioned that you want to exchange knowledge about psychic powers with me in the future, but I want to know how much you know about psychic powers?"
Yang Tianyi smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, saying that compared with the captain, he was probably still a complete novice in the field of psychic energy. Although the group has been collecting intelligence on psychic powers through various channels, the inherent particularity and exclusiveness of psychics determine that the collection of such intelligence is much more difficult than in the general field.
Especially for Aurora 2, the destination of the fleet's trip. In addition to knowing very little information about the Sea of Consciousness, Yang Tianyi even knew very little about the population, industry and other low-value information on that planet, let alone those This is precious spiritual knowledge among the stars.
Seeing that the other party's embarrassment didn't seem to be fake, Elizabeth secretly felt relieved. After all, this was her first time leaving the Federation. If Yang Tianyi was just being humble, but actually knew more about psychic powers than herself, then she would definitely feel ashamed of herself for being a teacher.
"A successful businessman like you must have heard of the fame of the Money Worshiping Order, right?"
After sorting out his knowledge reserves in the field of psychic energy, the captain slowly said: "Actually, what many people don't know is that the money-worshiping sect also has another alias called the 'Numa Order', because the object of their belief is There is a god named 'Numa' in the virtual world. In the eyes of the money-worshiping sect, 'Numa' is their undisputed goddess of wealth."
"For thousands of years, the money worshiping sect has used their psychic technology that no one can explain the principles of yet to build wealth-rich temples and mines for countless civilized empires. Hidden in the 'Drow Roulette' of the Merchant Headquarters The Money Worship Data Center claims to be able to deduce all trends in the interstellar stock market, which is very coveted.”
At this point, Elizabeth paused suddenly as if she had discovered something unusual, and then continued to talk about the various deeds of the Money Worship Order in a calm tone, such as their close cooperation with the World Group, the merchant fleet wandering around the galaxy, and Those giant billboards in Drow Roulette that are as big as the moon.
When the two people's footsteps slowly stopped in a deserted small square, they smiled at each other in unison, obviously not intending to bring those little tails that had been following them back to the fleet parking port.
"Before we go any further with psionics, I think it would be better to get these stalkers settled first."
Glancing at the captain who looked relaxed but was actually in combat mode, Yang Tianyi shrugged his shoulders, took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves, revealing the explosive muscle lines of his forearms.
"At your service, Miss Woodville."
