40,000 Years of Cultivation

"Li Linghai never really believed in me, just as she never really believed in you. This is just a deal, and I made a condition that she couldn't refuse."

Li Yao embraced his arms, his voice was full of allure, and he licked his lips and said, "Money, shiny coins, astronomical resources, countless treasures...our Xinghai Republic’s government in exile. No, there are only these things, money, money, a lot of money!

"No matter how much Li Linghai hates the cultivator, he does not hate the money of the cultivator. It takes money to overthrow the rule of the four major families, and it takes money to rebuild the order of the empire. In the new order of the new empire, he will intrigue and compete with your'allies'. The highest authority still needs money. What reason does she have for not cooperating with me?"

"It makes sense."

Jin Yuyan suddenly realized, and nodded, "Instead of me, if someone trades with spar enough to fill a planet, I will cooperate with him, whether he is a cultivator, an extraterritorial celestial demon, or something else. Weird alien life.

"If the spar of his trade is enough to fill the entire world, fuck, I can believe in the Tao of Comprehension in the next second!

"The only problem is, didn’t you just say that your Firefly has fallen into disrepair for a long time, lacks resources, and can no longer hold on, so you want to come back and surrender? Just ask, you guys are desperate, like beggars, what? Can so much money be able to convince the dignified Queen of the Empire?"

Li Yao sweats on his forehead: "This, this, this—"

Jin Yuyan narrowed his eyes: "Huh?"

Li Yao swallowed his saliva: "Don't worry, let alone stare at me with such questioning eyes, give me so much pressure, OK, listen to me slowly explain to you, this matter is very complicated, really, quite complicated. It takes slowly, slowly, and very slowly to explain clearly... That’s right, our Firefly is indeed in disrepair for a long time, and lacks resources. We are already in despair, but at the same time we are very rich, which can be said to be rich in the world. , Rich is an enemy country, this, this is not a contradiction! Oh, isn't Deacon Kim, you are such a smart and business-minded person, and you don't even understand such an obvious reason?"

Jin Yuyan shook his head: "I don't understand, please continue to explain slowly."

"We, we don't have the cash, the resources needed to repair the starship and the food to feed all the people, but it doesn't mean that we have nothing else!"

Li Yao slapped his thigh and said, "Coordinates, we have coordinates!"

Jin Yuyan's eyes flashed: "What coordinates?"

"The coordinates of the Great Thousand World!"

Li Yao’s mind turned his mind, the infinite brain cells exploded, and they gathered into a turbulent long river. The "mouthful" river surging incessantly, "You should know that when the ancient civilization was at its peak, human civilization occupied a total of three thousand. The vast world, but with the ancient civil war, the rise of the monster race, the establishment and collapse of the Xinghai Empire, the war became more and more fierce, and the destructive power of the magic weapon became stronger and stronger. Countless worlds were destroyed by the war, even their coordinates. Annihilated in the long river of history.

"Until now, the real human empire and the Covenant Alliance have controlled a thousand worlds closer to the center of the star sea. The other big worlds have all become dead tombs, scattered in unknown places outside the star sea.

"Although it has long been dead, these worlds have had atmospheres and highly developed civilizations, and even have a very complete industrial foundation and various relics with hidden treasures. If you find them, it is very possible to rebuild the atmosphere and the ecosystem and restore them. The prosperity of the past-at least, it is much more convenient and cheaper than finding a resource planet that is not suitable for human survival and forcibly building settlements, right?

"From the beginning of the Xinghai Empire, the people living in the center of the Xinghai have been expanding outwards, trying to restore the glory of the past three thousand worlds. Of course, the heyday of the Xinghai Republic is no exception. We have sent countless exploratory fleets and mastered a lot of astronomy. Data and a new route map-these things were all taken away by our Firefly, so that the real human empire had to start from scratch. You spent a whole thousand years, countless resources, and only the frontiers of the empire. Pushed outward a little bit.

"Until the last one or two centuries, because the cost of external development is too high, the efficiency of sending'star children' to jump and search planet by planet is too low. In fact, the empire has completely given up on external development.

"But this is only because you do not have precise coordinates. It is of course very difficult to find a habitable planet among ten billion planets. However, as long as there are relatively precise coordinates, as long as the vitality of a large world can be restored, Think about it, how much profit does that mean, how many business opportunities are hidden, and how much money can it bring?"

Jin Yuyan's eyes stared again, his eyes gleaming like crystal coins, and his voice was full of the feeling of crystal coins colliding: "How many coordinates of the unknown world have you... mastered?"

"No more, no less, just a hundred."

Li Yaodao, "The coordinates of these Daqian worlds have long been stored in the database of the Xinghai Republic’s Foreign Exploration Research Institute, and were taken away when we evacuated. Our initial idea was to escape to the periphery of Xinghai and look for several stable Daqian. The world settles, spends a thousand years to rebuild our country, and then find a way to counterattack the center of the star sea.

"It's a pity that when we searched for these great worlds according to the map, we discovered that they had been destroyed by the flames of war long ago, and all civilizations had died out, or that it was a world that resembled evil soil, full of rust and desert.

"The resources we carry are too few to transform and rebuild such an abandoned world. On the other hand, we are afraid that after we settle down, we will be found by the empire's pursuers again, and it will be all over!

"We were in panic all day long, searching for one world after another, recording their detailed information, and marking a brand-new navigation map, but in the end we gave up to settle there and continued to flee to the depths of the star sea, until finally, the resources were exhausted. When I wanted to look back, it was too late.

"So, Deacon Kim, you understand what I mean. We are like finding countless treasures, but we are dizzy with hunger and lack the strength to open the door of the treasure. If we don't think of a way, we will starve to death. Out of these treasures of milk and honey!"

Jin Yuyan finally understood: "So, you know where the hundreds of abandoned worlds are, but you lack the first resources to develop them, that is... start-up funds?"

"Yes, start-up capital, this term is used so wonderfully, or how can I say that I am just a martial artist, but you are a business genius!"

Li Yao was excited to shoot his thighs continuously, his voice became more and more tempting, "You know, those big worlds were once very rich and developed. Many worlds were famous in the ancient repair era, and countless cultivation bases were unimaginable predecessors. Cultivation there; some worlds are important production and R&D bases of the 30,000-year-old Yaozu dynasty. Laboratories and arsenals can be found everywhere under the ground, and even the relics of the prehistoric era can be seen everywhere! Unfortunately, we lack large-scale development of them. With the start-up capital, I can only watch the dust-covered relics for thousands of years, and can do nothing except slobbering.

"Thinking about going, don't want to sit still, holding the golden rice bowl and starving to death, we can only return to the center of Xinghai to find someone to cooperate, and Li Linghai entered my field of vision like this.

"At first I thought she was the leader of the reformists, so I was honest with her. I didn't expect that the Great Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi was still dormant behind her!

"Even if we dedicate all the worlds discovered by the Firefly to Wu Yingqi in a thousand years, he will not let us go. In that case, I can only find out when I escape to the outer world, and Wu Yingqi still has Compared to Li Linghai, you, the leading commercial hegemon of the true human empire, and the deacon of the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance who started with Xinghai Trade and Asteroids, seem to be a more suitable partner!

"Come on, Lao Jin, don't hesitate, let go of each other's prejudices, whether everyone comes out to cultivate or cultivate, it is nothing more than to make a fortune! Think about it, you can open up hundreds of trade routes when you find a new world. And the profits of rebuilding a great world, including real estate sales, mines and spiritual fields, all kinds of head fees for interstellar immigration, tut tut tut, I can’t count it, or you help me count it?"

Jin Yuyan's breathing became obvious.

Even though he desperately wanted to suppress his heartbeat, what he was controlling now was not his original body after all, and he still showed clues inadvertently.

"is this real?"

He asked nonsense.

"I know it's really hard to win people's trust if it's unsubstantiated."

Li Yao spread his hands and said calmly, "But, please think about it from another angle. Even Li Linghai and Wu Yingqi believe it. Why don't you believe it?"

Jin Yuyan was slightly startled and lost in thought.

"Do you think that with the wisdom of Li Linghai and Wu Yingqi, they will be easily fooled by me? Will they not investigate my words?"

Li Yao said, "I have been working with Li Linghai for more than half a year and have been very happy. It was not until I accidentally discovered the existence of Wu Yingqi that the two sides fell out. It can be seen that the problem lies with them, not with me. If I If you lied, they would have killed it long ago!"

Jin Yuyan took a deep breath and took a deep breath.

"I still think you are lying, but at least, the percentage of you lying has been reduced from 10% to 1%-intuition tells me that the Xinghai trade route you mentioned seems to exist, and cooperation with you really does. It may make me a fortune, richer than the enemy's country."

Jin Yuyan held his forehead and said, "This is really a very strange feeling, but no matter whether you are telling the truth or the lie, in the current situation, I have no choice but to trust you with reservations. ."
