"Why are you here again?" Bai Ningxiang said angrily, "You’re like bugs, can’t get rid of you."
Rafael laughed, "Don’t say that, we’re all humanoids. Honestly, from a civilization aesthetic perspective, we’re quite similar. Young lady, you look good, I’d be quite happy to have pleasant exchanges with you if you were in our civilization."
"But we’re all representatives of our civilizations, standing behind us is the entire civilization. Personal temperaments and preferences can almost be ignored."
"All our civilizations need to develop, and being so close, you refuse to surrender, of course that makes you our enemy."
Grey Wolf said, "Exactly, personally I don’t like stirring up trouble. Within the Sirius Civilization, I belong to the moderate faction."
"So I’m giving you another chance. If the Black Sea Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization join the Maoshi Star Union, I could act as a mediator to secure better treatment for you from the main civilization."
"Dream on!" Bai Ningxiang immediately responded sternly, "The Black Sea Civilization will never become your colony!"
He Xingzhou also stated directly, "We don’t walk the same path!"
"Then there’s nothing more to say," Rafael said, "Since we’re enemies, we will go all out and do everything we can to deal with you."
"Prepare well," Grey Wolf said, "Hope you survive this tournament for a hundred years!"
The two of them walked away, Yan Xin asked, "Seems like you have a major adversary!"
He Xingzhou sighed helplessly, "Can’t help it, we started late."
Yan Xin analyzed, "Those two, each of their civilizations starts at least at 1.7 level, they can’t harm you in the Virtual Universe."
"But if they find your civilization’s coordinates and attack, then..."
"Soldiers will block, water will cover," He Xingzhou also wished for a peaceful neighbor, but reality was harsh.
As they chatted, Green Demon called out, "For those who wish to rapidly develop their civilization, I have some information here, only five hundred Cosmic Coins per copy! It’s all experience from our civilization’s development. Anyone interested can purchase it to watch, sharing is prohibited. One-on-one tutoring requires additional fees."
"No wonder he told us so much earlier, turns out it was to sell courses!" He Xingzhou laughed helplessly.
"That’s normal!" Yan Xin said, "There are many like him, and some well-known interstellar architects take on tasks of designing and building for other civilizations. A blueprint from them can sell for millions of Cosmic Coins!"
"They can even buy a planet directly! I heard a top interstellar architect from an advanced civilization can amass enough wealth to buy a Star System!"
"There’re also nearby lower-level civilizations that, due to their reverence, willingly become their affiliated civilizations!"
Bai Ningxiang mocked, "Civilization worship? I reckon it’s because they know they can’t beat them, so they just surrendered outright?"
Yan Xin said, "Pretty much, anyway a top interstellar architect has immense influence among civilizations! Because they represent the technological development level and military power of a civilization!"
He Xingzhou was enlightened.
He thought he should also boost his ranking and reputation, sell courses or drawings to earn more resources for the Blue Star Civilization!
He Xingzhou stayed here for a full three days, learned some information, and then left.
Upon leaving, Bai Ningxiang hesitated for a long time and gave him some information, saying, "Here are some experiences of a Level 1 Civilization’s development, so you don’t waste money buying courses. What they say is insignificant."
"Thanks!" He Xingzhou expressed his gratitude.
"No problem, just remember the agreement," Bai Ningxiang said, "Clear the Zerg on Jupiter!"
He Xingzhou logged off with doubts, and back in reality, he was still pondering this matter.
He Xingzhou immediately convened a core meeting of the Blue Star Alliance to inform the key commanders about the Virtual Universe and the Order Alliance.
"There are so many brilliant civilizations in the universe!" He Hongwei said excitedly, "Humanity is not alone!"
"But it’s very dangerous!" Cui Weimin said, "For example, the Maoshi Star Union, we have no conflicts with them, yet just because they suspect us of being around the Pleiades, they view us as enemies and alien colonies."
"For a civilization to develop, more resources are needed! Territory represents resources!" Lv Mei said, "It’s unrealistic to expand into the surrounding Star Domains, so these surrounding civilizations will become our enemies!"
Song Jinhong analyzed, "The Chief Commander mentioned that in the Order Alliance, there’s a reward for eliminating the Zerg. And clones or replicas cannot be used."
"The Order Alliance forbids its members from associating with the Zerg!"
"I have a hypothesis, if the Zerg in the Solar System were deliberately placed here by an advanced civilization, waiting for them to devour the Solar System and become advanced Zerg. Then that advanced civilization controls or kills the Zerg, wouldn’t they gain more benefits?"
"I had the same thought," He Xingzhou said, "The Order Alliance does not allow any affiliated civilizations to have relations with the Zerg. Not even Level 3 or Level 4 Civilizations dare to anger the Order Alliance."
"Our Solar System previously had no civilizations registered with the Order Alliance. If such a thing really happened, even the Order Alliance couldn’t determine if the Zerg were intentionally placed here!"
"There are too many possibilities here, an advanced civilization could do this for the reward, or the Zerg naturally came here, or our enemies did it, or enemies of the Order Alliance put the Zerg here... there might even be a bigger conspiracy involved!"
