Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 1002 - 694: Dai Lian, Reporting In!

"How is it? Any news?"

Although verbally they found it laughable that the leader of the New Bauhinia was recruiting talent in a personal capacity, given the many miracles the leader had accomplished before, even the members of the Peak Alliance, who considered it impossible, subconsciously cared about everything happening on that planet now.

"No movement for now..." reported the spy who had been watching closely.

"The network of Golden Swallow Trade, the gray channels of ’Dusk,’ the official announcements from the Karian Federation... All the relevant information has been released, and the content has spread. But so far, apart from routine trade inquiries and probing messages from some insignificant bounty hunters and speculators, there has not been any valuable contact or intention to join from high-end mobile warriors."

Upon hearing this news, the atmosphere in the small meeting within the alliance became subtle, with many quietly breathing a sigh of relief, showing expressions that were as expected, even tinged with schadenfreude and ridicule.

"Indeed," scoffed a representative from the Thunder Dragon Empire, a general with a hard face who had held a grudge against Bai E for refusing to be recruited, "Personal heroism is a joke on the cosmic scale! Who does he think he is? The ’Human Emperor’ from Star Alliance’s legends who had long fallen? Thinking he can make all the elites of the universe flock to him just because of a single name? Utterly fanciful!"

Another high official from the Blood Cry Empire leisurely swirled his wine glass, the crimson liquid spinning within: "Xing Zhuo that guy reported that internally some people still harbor fantasies, thinking they can gather talent using ’old friendship’ or ’personal charm.’ Heh... Perhaps in the eyes of some lower-tier miners or downtrodden pirates on a remote planet, ’Bai E’ might carry some weight. But on the real cosmic stage, in the eyes of those powerful, influential, organized top mech pilots and various forces, what kind of conditions can a new nation provide that relies solely on personal might, which hasn’t even fully gained sovereign recognition by the Star Alliance? What platform can they offer? A sense of security? Future development? Don’t make me laugh."

"Indeed," agreed a member nation representative affiliated with the three giants, his tone full of disdain.

"In our Peak Alliance, legendary mech pilots like Remington and Xing Hen, which of them don’t rely on strong nations, possessing the most advanced mechas, the most perfect training systems, the richest practical combat and competition experience? Expecting them to give up everything they have and instead go to a... Mine Star? To work for an elusive ’Old Covenant’ or personal worship? Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t make such a choice. Bai E’s personal strength is great, but so what? Star Alliance competitions are about teamwork, comprehensive national power! No matter how well he can fight, can he fight ten? Can he bridge the comprehensive gap in logistics, intelligence, and tactical systems?"

"In the end, he was still too young, too arrogant."

Summed up the Thunder Dragon Empire general who initially spoke, showing an air of superiority from someone who’s experienced, "Refusing our kind offer for an elite team, insisting on putting together his ’pure blood’ team, see how he hits the wall now? As the days go by, let’s see what he takes to the competition nine months from now! When he’s eliminated in the group stage, let’s see if his ’Bauhinia’ label can still hold up! Star Alliance’s temporary qualification? Hmph, without matching strength, that’s just a joke, only making them lose face on a bigger stage, becoming a complete cosmic laughing stock."

The meeting room was filled with a chorus of low laughter, the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful.

In their view, Bai E’s move was a catastrophic misstep, not only exposing the shallow roots and lack of political wisdom of his force but also pushing himself and the New Bauhinia into an even more awkward predicament.

When the scarcity of personnel as the competition nears is fully exposed, perhaps they won’t even need to exert any pressure; this newly emerged "star of hope" will dim rapidly due to his own foolishness.

"Keep watching," instructed a high-ranking member of the Thousand Stars Commerce Alliance hosting the meeting, calmly.

"But let’s shift our focus a bit. Rather than focusing on whether they can recruit people, I’m more concerned about Xing Zhuo’s report on the Karian Campaign and Dark Elves’ intervention, which is causing much debate in the council. Additionally, we can’t relax on the Bug Race’s movements. As for Mine Star... let them mess around themselves, we can sit back and enjoy the show."

"Yes!"

The small meeting ended in a nearly "victory in sight" relaxed atmosphere.

The high-ranking members of the Peak Alliance had already sentenced Bai E and his "personal recruitment order" to death in their hearts, preparing to watch a failed farce caused by arrogance and idealism.

They were completely unaware that at this moment, in various corners of the universe, certain "special individuals" receiving specific frequency information and having strong reactions to a certain name were quietly adjusting their course, converging toward that grayish-brown Mine Star, which they viewed as a "joke."

Meanwhile, anxiety was rampant as well on Mine Star.

Since the issuance of the recruitment order, more than ten days had passed.

This period is certainly nothing on the cosmic scale, but for anxious waiting, it is undoubtedly a torturous ordeal.

"No one..."

"Brother Bai E won’t fail this time, will he..." Even Victor, who trusted Bai E blindly, now felt uneasy.

It could be said that besides Gong Yan, Kuang Xin, and Xu Ruoguang, everyone on Mine Star felt worried and uneasy about this decision.

More than the recruitment order being useless, what scared them more was the "mistake" of Bai E as a leader.

Did he really make a bad move?

And then, on an ordinary afternoon.

The first to arrive at Mine Star was not a single individual, but a small yet elite fleet.

This fleet had a rugged style and was painted with the emblem of flames and an anvil.

Leading the way was a modified industrial command ship.

After receiving permission, the fleet landed, and from the ship came a group of people dressed in practical work clothes, their muscles solid, their eyes sharp like craftsmen examining materials.

The leader was a man with a stable demeanor, his eyes showing wisdom and resilience.

Facing the inquiries from the Seventh Legion of the guard army, the man spoke with force, "Dai Lian, reporting to the lord with the ’Fire Hammer’ interstellar guild’s third technical escort team!"

"Dai Lian?" The Black Beast, as a frontline officer, immediately received the communication soldier’s report, "Fire Hammer!"

"Is it the Fire Hammer Guild that is known for undertaking high-difficulty engineering and providing excellent modification services!?"

The Black Beast ran excitedly towards the docking port, "Quick! Quickly inform Catherine!"
