Chapter 411 Gambling, intimidation and... communication!
Lu Yuan repeatedly asked in the earphone: "Don't think that we are very powerful. The purpose of gambling is not to win this little money, but to observe the opponent and evaluate the risks."
"Arrogance is the biggest enemy. If we lose, we must pay our dues obediently and cannot default on our debts."
"Understood!" people roared in low voices.
As for humans... how should I put it, in terms of ideology, they are actually not so ruthless as to exterminate civilization and plunder auras.
If it is a just war, facing a life-and-death enemy, human warriors will destroy each other without any psychological burden...
But if it is a rookie civilization that knows nothing about it, one second everyone is getting along well and greeting each other, and the next second they change their attitude and kill them all... Within human beings, it is actually very difficult to convince the people to launch this kind of
of plundering war.
This is not the Holy Mother. "Justice" and "injustice" are very important for internal development.
The soldiers of justice always have high morale. Even if the equipment is poor and the conditions are difficult, they still have spiritual support.
And the "teachers of injustice" have become a group of bandits.
In addition, most children's moral education since childhood was personally taught by Lu Yuan and Conch. Lu Yuan prides himself on being very upright in his three views. Although he is a little greedy, he gets it based on his ability and is the same as human beings.
Development actually has nothing to do with it.
As for the rest of his moral qualities, he, Lao Lu, works hard, loves learning, and doesn't want to keep a harem. What a good person he is!
And Conch is the kind of sweet girl who is gentle with a hint of playfulness. Children raised by such a mother will basically not be short of love.
Therefore, children also use this kind of morality to flaunt themselves, thus creating a vibrant green city.
Suddenly having their hands covered with blood is like choosing sesame seeds and losing the watermelon for human civilization.
Therefore, as long as the other party does not take the initiative to provoke humans, or is not an extremely evil civilization, humans do not intend to launch an active war.
The human translation expert took a deep breath: "The specific rules of [Gambling Battle] are as follows: one-on-one combat with cold weapons, put on the best armor and weapons, and evaluate the overall strength of civilization development."
"In addition, you can also gamble on other projects, such as rare object forging or carving literature..."
"The amount of the bet is: 100 Spiritual Yun!"
"The basket of 'Silvatan Fungi' in my hand totals 10.2 kilograms and is worth 1.12 Lingyun... I believe that 100 Lingyun is a number that both parties can afford."
This sound spread far away, not only to the diplomats of the Underground Alliance, but also to the interior of Shitong Fortress through the monitoring device, and even to the "Dongtian".
…
The Underground Alliance team, who were already a little confused, felt a thump in their hearts after hearing this message!
"What do you mean, gambling?"
Oshima Gang analyzed in an instant that the other party was a civilization that had experienced a lot... it might have investigated many dangerous places, and the richness of this experience was much greater than that of the Underground Alliance.
"100 auras?"
"What is Lingyun?"
They have never heard of Pangea's epochal rules.
Is this unspoken rule true or false? Does the other party have good intentions or malicious intentions? How much stronger is the other party than us? Is there any benefit in eliminating us? Otherwise, why would there be this unspoken rule?
Could it be that the other party thinks they’ve got us?
Countless questions swirled in my mind, with no explanation.
He took another look at the human team, each mecha puppet, and the dark barrels seemed to be brewing with flickering fire.
"Appraisal!"
The authentication failed, this is normal.
Their underground alliance has already figured out a way to disable the "identification" ability.
But the other party also has the same control...
"Most likely, I'm not pretending!" In an instant, cold sweat broke out from his back.
"What should we do, General? The other party suddenly wants to fight...a gambling fight?"
"How do you respond from the rear?"
"I'm probably still in a daze."
Tension and uneasiness permeated the team and never dissipated for a long time.
Fortunately, Oshima Gang is a truly talented and practical general in the Dark Steel Civilization. He has experienced many Zerg wars and fought his way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of fire.
He has also dealt with many nerve-wracking civilized relationships. Although he doesn’t know how bad the external environment is, he knows that he should calm down at this moment and show the strong side of the Underground Alliance - we don’t have nothing, we also have something.
Extraordinary background!!
Otherwise, the alliance is in danger!
He took a deep breath and asked a lizard tribe translator to pass the message: "We are the Underground Alliance, a powerful alliance composed of 12 civilizations. Friends are welcome to come from afar!"
"We... accept the bet!"
"This is not a place for conversation. Dear guests, please follow us to the fortress!"
…
The other party accepted it, but emotionally he was quite uneasy.
Lu Yuan was silent for a while: "Let's go, follow him."
"Everyone should observe carefully and don't let down your spirit. Even if we are not prepared to go to war, we should still gain a negotiating advantage."
Just like that, 30 humans followed the Underground Alliance and came to the huge "Shitong Fortress". This large bluestone tunnel was narrow and narrow, and was filled with a stench. Even the people of the Underground Alliance felt...
Same stench.
Maybe it's used to drive away the Zerg?
Even though the humans all wore gas masks, the smell was still so bad that they almost fainted. Fortunately, these gases were not toxic, and they could barely hold on after using extraordinary fire to block their sense of smell.
Only when you go deep into the fortress along the long and narrow tunnel can you feel its majesty.
The "Underground Alliance" actually hollowed out a hill and transformed it into an internal fortress.
Countless gears are rotating, crawlers are transmitting, and workers are digging and strengthening the interior of the fortress.
The black barrel was pointed at the people in the corridor intentionally or unintentionally, which was a deterrent.
Soldiers of twelve races stood near the cannon with loaded guns and ammunition, and their solemn faces cast a vague and serious look.
Lu Yuan knew that this was the underground alliance showing off its own fighting power, which was normal. Even if there was no such thing as a gambling fight, the other party might use force to deter?
I have to admit that this alliance seems to be a bit advanced, and they all wear clothes that resist the "appraisal ability".
And the scale of this battle fortress is comparable to that of Green Mountain.
"It will take decades of hard work for all mankind to complete this big project..."
What made him even more familiar was that the linkage between these rotating gears seemed to form an organic whole...
This scene seemed familiar. Lu Yuan recalled it for a long time, as if he had seen it in the white jade hall under the magma of the "melting pot of the world" volcano.
But the current gears seem to be just imitations. Compared with the white jade hall that can operate in magma, it is simply the difference between "apprentice paintings" and "Van Gogh paintings".
While walking in the corridor, several human negotiators were talking to Oshima Gang, unintentionally.
Human beings don't mind leaking some simple information, and they are also testing each other... After all, if some things are not leaked, there will be no way to communicate.
"Commander Lu, this alliance seems to be a novice civilization. They don't know any information, they just pretend to know...well, they don't even know what Lingyun is...they are really novices.
"
"It's a bit like when we first met Shumiba. It was exposed all at once."
There is no way, no matter how smart you are, no matter how careful you are, there is nothing you can do when encountering poor information.
"Don't let down your guard." Lu Yuandao, "Just communicate normally..."
…
…
Ahead is the fortress hall, which is as big as a playground. The floor is made of special alloy and is very hard.
The lights on the ceiling are bright, and there are a small number of green plants planted around it... Humans have once investigated that the food source of this large crack is a large part of geothermal energy and chemical energy, and another part is photosynthesis. As long as it is weak
With the light, plants can grow luxuriantly.
"Dear friends, if you don't mind the trouble, please take a shower and change clothes in the room on the right." Oshima Steel performed a ritual unique to this civilization: put his hands on the back of his head, make a cross, and then bow slightly.
I can't help it, that tunnel stinks too much.
Whether it is a diplomatic inspection or a gambling fight, it is not something that can be completed in a short while. If we communicate in a bad smell, everyone will probably vomit out their overnight meal...
Their underground alliance cannot afford to lose that face!
Of course, this matter is actually necessary for humans.
Face is equivalent to lizi.
Once you lose face, you lose all dignity.
However, they dare not use the things of the Underground Alliance indiscriminately.
Fortunately, several functional Source Fire mechas were equipped with washrooms and drying rooms, and Lu Yuan's storage space carried a large amount of food and dozens of tons of water.
It doesn't hurt if everyone takes turns washing their bodies.
…
Several human negotiators were the first to clean their bodies.
They carefully sat down at a round table with the Underground Alliance negotiators to discuss and mediate...
Information naturally needs to be exchanged with information.
"Our alliance... 12 races live in a 'cave sky'. The fortress we are currently in is just an outpost." Steel Oshima revealed a little information.
"Our alliance has rich experience in confrontation. We have been cultivating ourselves for decades and are fully capable of protecting ourselves in the Zerg turmoil."
The subtext of these sentences is that even if you annihilate our fortress, it will be meaningless...
In addition, the existence of "Dongtian" can be regarded as confidential information.
Of course, they refuse to say anything about what "Dongtian" is.
But in the eyes of human beings, it's a different scene. Dongtian?
Is it a large space? Or something else? Or is it a strange phenomenon? They caught a strange phenomenon?
