Chapter Seventy-Six: Have You Ever Heard of the 'Exchange System'?
As the McCrove civilization continues to place super-large space-time hubs in every corner of the multi-galactic galaxy to detect the signals of intelligent life in one galaxy after another, the intensity of communication between the Starfall Era and the outside world has even surpassed that of the Glorious Age in the past year.
After all, the Shining Era is too restrained in nature, with the support of sages, gods, and many legendary powerhouses, the Shining Era does not need to trade and communicate with the outside world at all, and can be completely self-sufficient - of course, they are not immersed in their own world, but most people are obsessed with the giant wonder buildings full of glory, and the new form of cultivating the transcendent way, they do not need to actively contact the races of the outside world, but many of the outside races want to take advantage of the relationship of the Age of Glory.
But the Starfall Era is different, today's Mycrof civilization is extremely open, partly because of the sense of urgency of the imminent invasion of evil gods, and partly because of the pressure caused by the lack of internal population, but the really important reason is because the essence of the Starfall Era is no longer the 'unified large-scale centralized transcendent federation' of the past, but' The former can be self-supplied, self-improving, stable and powerful, while the latter has many internal problems, contradictions are relatively large, and selfishness is even heavier, but because of this, the latter's motivation for external development is far better than the former.
In fact, in addition to the traditional union of 'humans, elves, and dwarves', other ethnic minorities in the Starfall Era are looking for opportunities for their own races to have more say in today's 'Starfall Alliance' through the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground.
They are goal-oriented, resolute in their actions, and will never miss an opportunity.
Any.
ββ¦β¦ We follow the ancient tradition of not communicating too much with any otherworldly creatures. β
An unnamed star field, a medium-sized special category world, unlike the usual 'continental world' and 'star world', this world does not have any sky or atmosphere in the popular sense, but is completely composed of rocks, underground caverns, and a hot core at the core. In this world, there are many primordial earth elements and fire elements that multiply in areas close to the core of the world, and no civilization has developed, but in the super-large karst caves of the earth's crust and mantle, there is a civilization composed of highly intelligent creatures.
In an underground cavern filled with glowing moss, shaped crystals, and stalactites, a giant three-meter-tall Zhiren slowly emits its own sporesβa special mixture of elements that carry a large number of special structures, and its scents, energy fluctuations, and mixed properties form a unique elemental language.
As if afraid that the little creature in front of him would not understand, the three-meter-tall Elder Zhiren slowly activated the spores that he had scattered before, which was to say it again for their race: "We don't like war, we don't like contradictions, we don't like nature, and we don't like outsiders." Our ancient ancestors warned us not to associate too much with otherworldly creatures, as they would inevitably bring war. Please come back, Messenger of the Microf Civilization, we thank you for your attention, but we who love silence cannot accept your overly enthusiastic way of life. β
As the name suggests, the Shiba people look like a giant mobile reishi mushroom, similar to the star herder eight-legged fungus, they are both a civilization formed by the giant fungus after gaining intelligence. But unlike the eight-legged fungus that is closer to parasitic fungi, for example, Cordyceps, the Zhiren are more inclined to plants, they decompose the biomass in the underground cave, and are an important member of the world cycle.
Because of this, after gaining wisdom, the Zhiren are as quiet and peaceful as plants, they do not expect violent happiness or violent conflicts, they pursue a peaceful life, expect to live a quiet life, this is their nature. The Shiba people refuse to engage in diplomacy with the vast majority of non-plant-based intelligent beings, preferring the dark, damp underground areas, so they prefer to stay in their native land and live an undisturbed life than to go out and explore.
"I don't care!"
However, the little creature in front of this Shiba elder is not a 'reason' that can be explained.
A small wind elemental fairy proudly puffed up his chest, and also used the method of spreading the elements, and said 'loudly': "It doesn't matter if you don't plan to be friends with us, anyway, we plan to be friends with you!" β
β¦β¦ No, it's not a matter of indifference.
And isn't there such a thing as a friend, or is the definition of a friend different from that of the McCrove civilization?
It is worthy of being a descendant of an ancient civilization of the lost galaxy, which is extraordinary......
Because his thinking was a little unable to keep up, Elder Shibato, who was sent by the clan and was fully responsible for communicating with the ambassador of the Microv Elf Clan, was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "I mean, we don't mean to communicate with the outside world. We are more accustomed to living a quiet life and are less likely to talk......"
"It's okay!"
The wind fairy patted his flat chest enthusiastically, and said 'loudly': "We usually speak with sound waves and mental fluctuations, and we don't usually use the elemental spore language or something, which is equivalent to muting - and before refusing, you should also listen to our plan, which is definitely good for both parties~super~win-win~ plan!" β
No, not the question of mute. Then again, what the hell is going on with this guy, and isn't the Mycrof civilization very domineering and murderous in the rumors, how could their messenger be like this...... Could it be that it is fishing law enforcement (careless)?
Elder Zhiren was silent for a while, he shook his mushroom cap, sprinkled a spore, and then asked tentatively, "Messenger, if we refuse it sternly...... How will your superiors react? β
"I don't know!"
In the same concise and loud reply, the enthusiastic wind fairy blinked, showed his small teeth, and then proudly gave a thumbs up: "I never thought about this problem!" β
What is there to be proud of.
The Wind Fairy's performance immediately shocked Elder Shibato and raised a deep fear in his heart.
The Microf civilization was so arrogant that they never thought that their request would be denied! How domineering!
The smile of the wind fairy and the elemental aura of 'excitement' that spread out this undoubtedly proved this one thing - the ambassador of the Microf elf clan in front of him was not at all frustrated that his mission might fail, and even on the contrary, the other party was unreasonably happy!
The other side is excited about possible 'contradictions' and 'battles'! Although the body is petite, but the power of the restless elements proves that the other party's life form is extremely high, what a terrifying race, born with such strength and desire, it can be said to be the embodiment of the essence of war!
For the Zhiren Elder, who had not spoken for a long time, the wind fairy tilted her head curiously and flew around the other party, but soon, her attention shifted, and then she began to happily chase the big moth next to the glowing moss.
At this time, Elder Zhiren was thinking, and his heart was quickly weighing the pros and cons.
β¦β¦ In this case, there is only one answer, that is, McCrof has his own set of methods for civilizations that refuse to cooperate - if his own civilization really refuses, then according to the temperament of the murderous goblin ambassador in front of him, the bloodthirsty Mrs. McCroll will definitely not hesitate to use her world as a model for rejecting their demands, and then be completely destroyed...... They have the ability to extinguish the sun, the act of creating the sun, and the force that can easily destroy a third-level civilization empire, absolutely can do this!
"So, Envoy, can you tell us a little bit about your plans?"
Thinking of the devastating slaughter that might erupt, Elder Shibato's tone suddenly softened, and when he spoke to the Wind Elf who was grimacing at a moth, he immediately reminded the other party of the purpose of his visit, so the Wind Elf immediately flew down, cheered and sent the complete cooperation plan to Elder Shibato with mental fluctuations.
The goblin's plan is simple.
As a Shiba who can naturally secrete in the body and give birth to the heart of the elemental furnace, its existence itself is a great tonic for the fairy township, the goblins have actually found a complete way to create the world, but as long as the goblin clan does not produce at least two legends, then the day when their world will be formed is far away.
Cultivating two goblin legends is too much luck, before cultivating, goblins hope to get the help of more elemental races, enrich the number of species in the goblin township world, the balance of elements, and the ecological complexity, in this way, as long as the elements other than the four elements are complex enough, the goblins can also complete the feat of creation, and even better than a few more legends and forcibly maintain the stability of the elements.
As a third-level void civilization, the Zhiren have a high degree of civilization and a strong use of the elements, and they are famous in the surrounding star fields, and the only negative news is that they are too xenophobic and closed, no different from stones. But for goblins, it's not strange to be friends with stones, and there have even been goblins who have been friends with a stone for more than two hundred years, and the elements overflowed, and the stone was turned into an earth element! So for the elves, none of this is a problem! It doesn't matter if the other person doesn't want to talk to you, they don't want to be your friend, they have time and patience. (provided you don't forget it halfway)
As long as the Zhiren are willing to join, then if the Fairy Township becomes a truly complete world in the future, the Zhiren will be the great hero of the creation and one of the elders!
The conditions are very lucrative, the terms are very relaxed, and it can even be said that except for the hope that some Shiba people will relocate to Fairy Township, the goblins have not put forward any conditions at all - on the contrary, the Goblin Township will even send a few goblins with extreme intentions to come over and try to cooperate with Shiba people to carry out comprehensive technology sharing and improve the elemental cycle of the Shiba world, of course, there are many terms that are taken for granted, but the sincerity is undoubtedly overflowing.
After reading all the terms, Elder Zhiren was shocked.
Mrs. McCroe, horror!
If you don't agree, it will be a bloody world of Zhiren, but if you agree, you are willing to buy a fungus cap! This kind of domineering is the prosperity of the good and the death of the opposite...... It is worthy of being a terrifying civilization from the otherworldly galaxy that can be equal to the three major natural disaster civilizations!
"That way, we have no reason to refuse......"
Elder Zhiren, who thought he had thoroughly understood the cause and effect, let out a long stream of elemental flows, and let out a long breath: "Then, I hope that the envoy will give us a little more time, we need to have a discussion within the clan......
Afterwards, Elder Zhiren explained the next general plan of action of the Zhiren, due to the complex elder leadership system within the Zhiren, this process was very complicated, but Elder Zhiren explained very seriously, so he didn't notice the confused eyes of the wind fairy in front of him.
ββ¦β¦ That's pretty much it, Messenger, do you have any opinions? β
"Hmm~huh? Uh-huh! β
After listening to it roughly, the wind fairy, who felt that he hadn't heard any harm, suddenly realized: "I see, I understand!" So, you agreed? β
"Nature." Elder Zhiren replied.
But as the vibration of the elemental spores ended, an even greater tremor came.
"What?!"
Click! Elder Zhiren couldn't help but take a step back under the pressure that suddenly appeared.
Then, he saw that the petite wind fairy in front of him seemed to open four doors, this door was hidden invisible, but the unbelievable ultra-high concentration of elements could pour out of it, calling for the echo of earth, water, fire and wind.
The illusions of the four legendary fairy queens floated behind the wind fairies who were still full of confidence, rising like flames, dancing like a violent wind, drifting like water, and as thick as the earth, and the wind fairies didn't seem to feel anything wrong, she still said with a happy face: "Then now, sign the contract!" β
ββ¦β¦ Nature. β
β¦β¦
"That's right, that's right!"
And after signing the preliminary cooperation contract, the wind goblin who was originally planning to leave suddenly remembered something, she quickly turned her head and asked with a serious face: "Mr. Big Mushroom!" β
"What's the matter, honorable messenger?"
Although he didn't understand what 'Mr. Big Mushroom' was, Elder Shibato knew that the other party was calling himself, and Shibato, who saw the other party's serious expression for the first time, couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart while being curious about what the other party was going to say.
Could it be that there are any strings attached?!
However, the Wind Elves merely remembered an extra mission assigned by one of the Marshals of the Expeditionary Fleet.
"Have you ever heard of the 'exchange system'?"
β¦β¦
The Zhiren civilization does not have a bad impression of the exchange system, especially when they find that the high-concentration element crystals naturally secreted by their own group have a higher value in the exchange system, and their favorability towards this strange cross-world trading system is even higher.
Whether it's exchanging exchange points for nature-based legendary powerhouses to optimize the local ecological structure, or exchanging for 'Druid Way', 'Elemental Mage's Inheritance', or 'Sublimation of Elemental Life Forms', for the peaceful Shiba people, it takes a long, long time to do with their power alone, and now you can use the exchange system to do it for you, which is naturally the best.
It is precisely for this reason, coupled with the force and credibility of the Mycrofwen civilization, that the promotion of the exchange system is extremely fast, and even spreads geometrically, even to Joshua's surprise.
However, not all civilizations and races are happy to accept the combination of the exchange system and the repair of the light pillar.
For example, if it is a certain sea snake race contacted by the fish-man clan, a legendary-level powerhouse in their group, a 'super giant continent python' and 'Ringer Abush' that can surround the entire planet continent, can see at a glance that the essence of this repair light pillar is a semi-autonomous clone of a legendary powerhouse. And the exchange conditions it follows are certainly 'equivalent exchange', but who knows what the conspiracy is behind it, or what the potential dangers are?
Although they didn't know that this thing could be used as a coordinate to summon Joshua's body, they really didn't like this kind of thing, and politely declined the offer.
Of course, some races do not like it, and it is true that there is no way to do it, and Mrs. McCro respects the choices of most races.
But for some of the more special races, the Starfall Era will not be so forgiving......
What awaits them is in-depth 'communication' and 'persuasion'.
