Chapter 394 Alexei's Visit
The outside world is in turmoil. In addition to using direct force, Guixing and Xingyao Empire are exerting influence in various aspects.
The Star Empire attempted to define Li Yu's appearance in the territory of Amethyst Civilization as interference in the internal affairs of other civilizations.
Gui Xing tried his best to prove that the Xingyao Empire had already taken action in the purple crystal, and those A-level life forms had no intention of encircling Li Yu.
But all this had nothing to do with Li Yu, and he spent a few days in peace.
Berg kept his promise and solved the problem of scrap metal after returning, after five days of hard work.
[Death Star] progress has finally reached 1%, which is a gratifying progress.
Consume more than 20 billion tons of metal scraps, plus 100 million tons of military-grade alloys.
According to the information provided by Berg, the entire central galaxy produces about 80 billion tons of domestic waste a day.
Only about 5–7% of the waste contains metal materials.
Although it seems slow, compared with the size of the entire Death Star, it is a progress that makes Li Yu quite happy.
However, it took a lot of manpower to put the scrap metal on the blueprint, which was kindly provided by Berg.
"It would be great if this blueprint could be infinitely enlarged." Li Yu was greedy. If that were the case, he could find a metal mineral star and swallow it whole.
Although the unpurified metal raw materials would probably be consumed greatly during the conversion process, it should be faster than this.
The progress of gene chain development is also slowly increasing, and has currently reached about 3%.
After a long period of adaptation, his combat effectiveness in normal state has now stabilized at one million calories, which is the limit of a second-time evolved body and the boundary of a third-time evolved body.
But in fact, he had just replaced the second gene chain not long ago, thanks to the gene optimization device, the [Code of Life], and the strength of his own gene chain.
He plans to find Payton today to see if there are other ways to speed up the development of the gene chain.
However, an uninvited guest came to Li Yu's base.
"Alex..." Li Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard Xiao Chaonao's report.
This prince had previously colluded with the Ark of Salvation and attempted to sell him to the Ark of Salvation.
Li Yu always remembered this incident, but he couldn't do anything to Alexei for the time being, so he could only ignore him.
Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to come to my door.
"Let him in..." Since the other party came to him on his own initiative, Li Yu would not refuse to see him.
In the living room, Alexei still looked nonchalant, but with a slightly apologetic look on his face, he said, "I'm here to apologize to you this time. I was wrong last time, and my brother has already reprimanded me severely."
"You are my return star..."
Li Yu raised his hand to interrupt him before he finished speaking. There were some people he didn't mind pretending to be nice to, such as Berg.
But there are some people he is too lazy to treat like this, like Alexi in front of him. Li Yu sneered and said, "Your Highness, we don't have to act. You and I know what the situation is now."
"If I have the chance, I wouldn't mind cutting off your head for fun."
Killing Alexei here would be too costly, and it is still questionable whether he can kill the other party.
Alexei restrained his fake expression, showed a casual smile, and sat down on the soft sofa: "Why do I feel that you are very similar to my eldest brother? You have to say it so directly, which makes me feel uncomfortable."
Li Yu frowned slightly, looked at Alexi, and suddenly a strange syllable came out of his mouth.
Alexei's eyes flashed with strange colors, and he looked at Li Yu unkindly: "What did you just do?"
He just felt an inexplicable spiritual fluctuation invading him, and the spiritual volume was not low.
This made him a little shocked that Li Yu's attainments in mental power were actually quite high.
"Nothing..." Li Yu shook his head and sighed. He really couldn't control Alexei.
Although he guessed it, he still wanted to give it a try, just in case he found something interesting.
"You just attacked me, which violated the laws of Guixing." Alexei frowned.
"Where is the evidence?" Li Yu pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.
Alexei smiled helplessly. Li Yu could not be arrested with just a few words. There must be evidence, but the attack just now did not leave any trace.
Thinking of this, he felt a little unhappy: "I want Morgan, name a price."
This is Alexei's purpose. As a senior field agent of the Ark of Salvation, Morgan is not a pawn that can be abandoned at will.
"Guixing has a systematic standard for redeeming people. It's such a simple matter to let the Ark of Salvation take the money." Li Yu said in the same casual tone.
Alexei said as a matter of course: "I am the prince of Guixing. As my partner, if I have to pay to get someone from Guixing, I will lose face."
Li Yu couldn't help but laugh, grinning and saying, "So you came to me to ask for someone?"
"That's not the case..." Alexei shook his head and said honestly, "I went to Prince Connor first and wanted him to give the person to me directly, but His Royal Highness said that he would only release the person with your permission."
"Although I really don't want to come, I have no choice but to come."
The captured A-level life forms are all Li Yu’s trophies, and Gui Xing cannot let them go even if he wants to.
This is the same principle as redeeming someone. On the one hand, one has to consider the person involved, but more importantly, one has to consider other A-level life forms.
After all the hard work to obtain the spoils, you let them go just by touching your lips? Who will be willing to work hard for them in the future?
"If you want face, exchange it for money..." Li Yu shook his head and continued: "I want trillions of tons of military-grade alloy materials."
"Fuck, you're building an interstellar fortress?!" Alexi couldn't help but swear, "Trillions of tons of military-grade alloys, let alone one Morgan, ten wouldn't be enough."
"Then let's not talk about it."
Alexei sighed: "You don't have to deliberately make things difficult for me."
He didn't think that Li Yu really wanted trillions of tons of alloy materials, but was just trying to make things difficult for him.
"I really want alloy materials to build an interstellar fortress." Li Yu was also very honest.
"Haha..." Alexei couldn't help laughing out loud: "If an interstellar fortress could be built solely with materials, it would have been obsolete in the universe long ago."
Li Yu shrugged and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that he was silent, Alexei simply spoke up: "Although there are some conflicts between us, no one needs to go against interests. You name a price... a reasonable price, and we will discuss it."
Li Yu stared at Alexi with flickering eyes. He did not answer the question, but instead asked: "Is this the request of the Ark of Salvation? What did you ask them to do?"
Alexei's heart skipped a beat. How did this guy guess that he had indeed reached some cooperation with the Ark of Savior?
Handing Morgan over to them was just one of the additional conditions, so Alexei had no choice but to come to Li Yu.
However, he was relieved immediately. This matter was actually not difficult to guess. Li Yu simply guessed that it was the request of the Ark of Savior, but he didn't know why it was requested.
"Name your price and stop guessing..." Alexei shook his head.
Li Yu wanted to refuse, but then he changed his mind and decided that if Guixing negotiated with the Ark of Savior, the resources that could be exchanged would be just that.
Maybe I can get something different from Alexei.
Then, he thought for a moment, took out something from the compressed space, and handed it to Alexei: "Do you know it ?"
"Mini hard drive?" Alexei picked up the micro hard drive and held it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.
"Tell me the origin of this micro hard drive, and we can trade it." Li Yu added.
This sentence made Alexei's expression a little broken:
"ha?"
"Is the only way I can win a chance to trade with you is by telling you the origin of this thing?"
Li Yu nodded: "Of course, we have a grudge against each other, and I would be very unhappy if I traded directly with you."
"Can we take a picture?" Alexey asked.
"Of course..." Li Yu nodded. He didn't want to hide it. Although Ramon was released, Gui Xing must know the existence of this hard drive. There was no need to hide it.
"Hold on……"
Alexei mobilized his men and sat quietly on the sofa, tapping his fingers irregularly on the armrest.
Not long after, news came.
"Aha, here it comes..." Alexei was a little excited. The speed of his subordinates seemed to make him feel very proud in front of Li Yu.
However, his expression changed after he took a glance.
"...Can't find the origin?" He frowned slightly and continued reading.
"In the past three months, such hard drives have appeared in several large civilizations, and the total number has exceeded fourteen..."
Li Yu looked at the information sent by Alexei. As his doubts deepened, he also solved a problem.
That is, the person who spread the hard drives did not seem to be targeting him, because these hard drives appeared widely in major civilizations.
Return Star, Star Empire, Spiritualist, Holivias...
If it was just targeting him, there would be no need to spend so much effort.
Patton and the people behind the hard drive should not be from the same force.
"Do you know what this thing is for?" This news seemed to arouse Alexei's curiosity.
"It seems that the intelligence organizations of several large civilizations are searching for this thing."
"This is another price..." Li Yu shook his head and was not prepared to disclose any other information.
Alexei was speechless and did not ask any further questions. He turned around and asked Savior Ark or his men to investigate. He did not believe that they could not find the answer.
"Then can we make a deal?" Alexei returned to the topic.
"At least you provided some information, it's okay..." Li Yu nodded, but added: "But you didn't completely solve it, so I have to pay a premium."
You tm... Alexei couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"One hundred billion tons of military-grade alloys... or two hundred billion tons of non-military-grade alloys." Li Yu opened his mouth loudly.
The trillion tons just mentioned were complete nonsense. The official transaction has just begun, and Alexei cannot accept this "price".
"Where can I get so many alloys for you?" Alexei was speechless. "The production capacity of the entire civilization is fixed. The most I can get is 10 billion tons of military-grade alloys."
"And Morgan isn't worth that price, how about I give you star coins."
"The star coins still need to be exchanged, and purchasing too much alloy may lead to price increases. No..." Li Yu shook his head to express his refusal.
Alexei's mentality was about to explode: "What on earth do you need so much alloy material for!?"
"Build an interstellar fortress..." Li Yu still gave the same answer.
Alexi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "30 billion tons of military-grade alloy. This is the final price. If we negotiate head-on, Morgan is not considered a strong one among the three evolutions, and the resources that the Ark of Salvation can use for trading will be even less."
Li Yu sat on the Diaoyutai: "Fifty billion military-grade alloys, the final price, anyway, I'm not in a hurry."
"You..." Alexei was so angry, but he could only hold it in and offer the final price: "Forty billion tons of alloy!"
Li Yu estimated that it would be great to get 40 billion tons of military-grade alloys.
Under normal circumstances, he can only withdraw 100 million tons of military-grade alloys unconditionally.
Forty billion military-grade alloys can push the Death Star to approximately 4% of its completion, and 5% overall.
According to his experimental military-grade alloy, when it was integrated into the Death Star, the amount of purification consumption was minimal, almost zero consumption.
"Deal, it's a military-grade alloy..." Li Yu reminded.
"I know!" Alexei left here in a bad mood. He really couldn't figure out what Li Yu wanted so many alloy materials for.
Although this thing is not difficult to obtain, it is another matter if the quantity reaches a certain level.
Could it be because of that alien camp?
His footsteps suddenly paused. Recently, a new trend has emerged among the top leaders of Guixing.
It is said that the alien camp behind Li Yu really exists.
This also leads to a question. If Li Yu’s status in Guixing is too high, then is he working for the alien camp or for Guixing?
Many senior executives were secretly pondering the matter, but Alexei knew more because the news was spread by his lovely elder brother, Titus.
Vimala could withstand Titus's frontal pressure, but that did not stop him from attacking from behind.
And this is just Titus' first step.
"It's fun..."
Thinking of this, Alexei's steps suddenly became lighter. Titus's reputation was not given for nothing. Now he didn't even dare to confront this big brother head-on.
I don’t know how Li Yu should deal with it.
…
After he left, Li Yu thought for a moment and realized that the force that spread the hard drive was not targeting him, which was good news.
Suddenly, his smart terminal vibrated slightly. It was an order to summon him to attend an emergency meeting on Guixing. He glanced at the news briefing and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Horus is seriously injured and the situation in Borderland is critical!
