Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 518 - 299: Strengthening the Powerful Image_2

Chapter 518: Chapter 299: Strengthening the Powerful Image_2

After all, even the civilizations that later clearly joined the Human Interstellar Empire may not be undercover agents.

However, which civilization is not a traitor is still roughly known.

There are several civilizations that are indeed staunch supporters of the Human Interstellar Empire. Their reasons for support are very firm, and not entirely because of humanity’s potential. More so, it’s because their situation in the Thousand Alliance is not very favorable— the Xisoke Civilization is not an isolated example in the Thousand Alliance.

The war with the Mude System itself has already brought certain divergences and rifts within the Thousand Alliance. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

After Shen Shi conducted a detailed analysis, even including sending people into the fourth future line to investigate more detailed and secret historical information, he summoned Silla.

This "Prime Minister" among the Xisoke People, at this moment, whether in his heart or external posture, was completely standing on humanity’s side, having pledged allegiance very thoroughly. Clearly, he also understood that his strength held no advantage in front of the person in front of him.

Since he couldn’t hide his thoughts, he could only abandon unnecessary ideas.

"Have you chosen your targets during this period?" Shen Shi entertained him according to human customs.

"I have chosen several targets," Silla replied. "Some of them have a good relationship with us, and the others, after analysis, seem very likely to be willing to join us."

This aspect is indeed the same as in history.

"No need to rush." Shen Shi poured himself a cup of green tea, slowly took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "You should understand, although we need these civilizations to increase our strength and benefits, we are not ready to simultaneously enter into war with the Thousand Alliance and the Mude System. In this special period, this war between them offers us more benefits and opportunities."

"Yes, I understand," Silla said.

In fact, when Shen Shi previously reminded him not to spread the news of the New-type Original Energy Spore Technology, he had already realized that for the Human Interstellar Empire, hiding behind the scenes was currently the best choice.

Even if choosing to surface, it should be for benefits worth revealing.

This is not necessarily due to weak strength. After all, the principle of choosing civilizations in interstellar space is that no matter how strong you are, there is no need to act against your interests.

But what Silla did not expect was that Shen Shi shook his head and said, "No, you don’t understand."

"..." Silla remained silent.

"I don’t know if you have calculated— how likely are your choices to lead to the dissemination of the New-type Original Energy Spore Technology’s intelligence, and how likely is it to cause the Thousand Alliance to increase their attention on us, or even slow down their war with the Mude System? But from my perspective, your calculations are clearly failing. If you could correctly calculate these, you wouldn’t present such a list." After saying this, Shen Shi presented a list.

Silla’s emotions surged dramatically at this moment.

It was naturally not because of Shen Shi’s criticism.

But because of the list before him!

He must know, the list that reached him was merely a set of options, and even he hadn’t fully decided.

Yet, this list seemed as if he had already made a decision!

This was equivalent to the other party silently obtaining information from his consciousness and predicting his analysis— in the realm of Primordial Energy Technology, this could be seen as a kind of complete control.

From the way of thinking, to consciousness, to real intelligence data, every reaction of an intelligent being has been completely controlled.

Only in this way could such an accurate prediction be made.

This also means there is a huge gap.

Just like Gods viewing the fate of mortals.

However, he was not an ordinary person, nor a mortal!

As a leader of a civilization ranked within the top fifty among all known civilizations in the known universe, his strength, even if not on par with the Pasture Master, should be among the strongest. No one can control his everything! Not even the Pasture Master!

"This, this ultimately..." Silla’s consciousness even started to become chaotic, unable to give a response based on correct logical thinking.

The reason was simple, he didn’t know whether his current response was also under the opponent’s control, which would cause his thinking to fall into a loop difficult to escape from.

If he were not an intelligent life form but a lifeform with only computational abilities, he might already be trapped in a cycle of logical thinking difficult to extricate himself from.

"It’s just some methods you’re unaware of, don’t worry about it too much." After enhancing his own strong and mysterious image, Shen Shi did not continue but simply waved his hand, letting Silla skip over this point, then pointed to the list and said, "Returning to the matter at hand, a very obvious fact is that you haven’t truly valued my words and lack sufficient information."

"...Yes, I admit the mistake and accept punishment." Silla bowed his head and apologized according to human customs.

He had calmed down by now.

No longer entangled with the list.

Temporarily setting aside matters that affect himself was a simple thing for him. After all, a strong person in awareness cannot always get stuck.

However, refocusing on the current issues still could not keep his emotions calm.

Because the person in front of him not only presented this list but could also determine which civilizations among the list were not suitable choices. This means the other party’s understanding of the Thousand Alliance might be greater than he originally perceived.

Even beyond his own understanding.

Only being here for such a short time... is this another method he does not know?

"Some intelligence information will be shared with you, but given the situation, you must still absolutely follow my instructions to get this done." Shen Shi took out another list, "Start by making contact with the civilizations on this list, including the contact targets, methods of contact, and matters that need attention. I’ve listed them all here. If any changes are necessary, I will inform you in time. Also, we will try to minimize our presence, so those civilizations surrounding us need you to handle them. Is there a problem?"

"No problem." Silla was now extremely determined in his emotions.

He was well aware that the list he previously provided was mistaken, which would inevitably affect his and even the entire Xisoke Civilization’s status in the Human Interstellar Empire, even its future.

Any system, even any force, would not value an entity that cannot make a reasonable contribution.

Hence, this current task was vital to the future of the entire Xisoke Civilization.

As for the few "old partners" ready outside, as long as he could accomplish this task, drawing over all civilizations from the list, or even inviting some emissaries over, how would there be any need to worry about them? Not at all requiring human intervention.

When Silla returned and looked in detail at the list and intelligence information Shen Shi passed to him, he was speechless for a long time.

"Many of the intelligence items on this list, we never had access to, and they are the latest, most confidential, and important intelligence," Silla said to the senior members of the Xisoke Civilization in front of him. "From now on, we better abandon unnecessary preparations and bind our interests and positions more deeply with the Human Interstellar Empire, otherwise, as their strength continues to manifest, we will increasingly lose benefits and opportunities..."

Shen Shi did not know what Silla said after returning, but he could see from the future line’s history how the Xisoke Civilization acted.
