How the Zergs were Made

#637 of eight classes (1)

A man with a lizard-like head was taken to the interrogation room specially prepared by the collectors. He couldn't open his eyes under the strong light, and could only vaguely see two creatures opposite him.

This is the process of the interrogation. The lizard man who had experienced it once before was much calmer than the last time. At least this time he suppressed his flustered emotions.

"I remember... you are the president of the Norton Merchant Ship in the Ailan United Caravan... your name... your name is... Norman..."

"right?"

The collector tried hard to recall that there were too many things to deal with, especially in this war period, engineering construction, combat details, new race information, etc. The complicated information overwhelmed the results of the previous interrogation, and he wanted to recall it again But it takes more effort from the collectors.

Hearing this, Norman was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized that as a smooth businessman with good morals, he immediately laughed and echoed him.

"Yes, yes, so you still remember me, you have a really good memory, hehe."

Talking to people, talking nonsense to hell, this is the way Norman has survived as a merchant for so many years. As long as he can talk to the other party, he has a way to quickly close the relationship with the other party. He can be negotiated as a business partner, and a villain can be persuaded to become an escort.

Norman is a staunch egoist, and also a person who firmly believes that everyone is an egoist. With this cognitive style, he travels north and south without any disadvantage.

However, he hit the iron plate this time, because the gatherers didn't like him.

"You traders have been to many places and seen many things, right?" the collectors asked.

"That's right, the Norton commercial ship under my command has conducted military trade in war-torn combat zones, and also conducted huge ultra-long-range trade, and..."

Norman, who was about to eloquently tell the collectors, was interrupted roughly.

"Stop, we don't want to hear this right now."

"Okay, I'll shut up."

The chatterbox was closed as soon as it opened, and Norman kept his mouth shut, using actions to prove to the collectors how obedient the businessman in front of him was.

It's a pity that it's still winking to the blind. The collectors didn't read other meanings from Norman's behavior. They don't have such a high EQ, and they rely on life fields, radios, etc. to communicate all year round, and their communication habits are generally inclined to Straight to the point, and this situation also makes the merchant Norman who is being interrogated unpredictable.

"We want to ask you something, and we hope you will tell us everything you know."

One gatherer states their purpose, and the other adds on afterward.

"In addition, I think it is necessary to remind you, don't try to deceive us by playing tricks, this is meaningless and will increase the workload on our side, until now, half of the merchants have given their lives because of their own arrogance I believe that Norman, you are a person of great wisdom, and you will not do such a stupid thing."

"Of course, you should be very clear about what kind of person I am, Norman. If you ask me, I will know everything."

Norman's lizard face twitched slightly. The collector's warning reminded him of a trader who was imprisoned with him not long ago, who was about to be executed by the collectors for lying. That shrill scream now seems to be echoing in Norman's ears.

Norman's heart speeded up subconsciously, and his breathing became heavy, because he was nervous, and he didn't want to die yet. Wouldn't it be too bad to die like this after making so much money from trading? And he still wants to earn more, so he can't die in this kind of place!

"Then let me ask you, what is the 'Coordination Council'?" the collector asked.

"The Coordination Council? That is one of the Supremes of the Gate World."

Because of the fear brought about by death, Norman's brain became flexible. As soon as the collector asked the question, the question was simply passed through his mind and answered immediately.

"Supreme? What is that? Are you hiding it from us?" the collector asked.

Norman immediately panicked. This is a matter of life and death. He hurriedly expressed the meaning of 'no' with various body movements, and kept yelling in a panic.

"No! Absolutely not! I always know everything! I never want to tell any lies! You didn't ask, I thought you knew about it!"

"Then explain to me now, what is Supreme."

The little tricks in the interrogation were unknowingly used by the collectors. Coupled with the collector's unemotional reading, Norman, who is accustomed to observing words and expressions, felt at a loss. This discomfort aroused his innermost thoughts. Insecurity, the fear of death will prompt him to say anything he knows.

"Supreme... That's a title of a class..." Norman stumbled, but the anxiety in his heart amplified his fear, and there was no need for the collectors to ask the bottom line. Norman then took the initiative to ask the collectors. A suggestion "Look, how about I start from the beginning and explain it to you in detail?"

"Okay, we just want to know the details."

The collectors naturally had no reason to refuse, and they also saw that this was the effect of interrogation methods.

Norman organized the language, and told the collector while recalling.

"You also know that there are millions of countries and forces in the gate world. These countries and forces are strong or weak. Since there are differences, they should be differentiated. In the beginning, we interstellar merchants spontaneously decided to reduce trade risks. And with the passage of time, due to the promotion of trade, such a standard for measuring the strength of various countries and forces has gradually been accepted by all the countries and forces in the door world."

"There are a total of eight levels in the door world. The first level is the primitive aborigines. Most of these are uncivilized savage species who are unable to climb out of their home planet."

When merchants come into contact with these planets, their business activities generally take extremely high risks. Even if that civilization has entered the industrial age, it does not mean that that civilization will have high moral integrity. The most common situation is Just snatching spaceships, catching aliens and going to the dissecting table, this is barbaric and uncivilized in the eyes of businessmen.

Under normal circumstances, interstellar merchants are very active in finding primitive natives, but they generally don't like to trade with primitive natives. Instead of risking their lives to trade with those savage poor ghosts who don't have much money, why not sell the coordinate information of primitive natives? What about Star Pirates? Interstellar pirates will pay a lot of information fees.
