Chapter 133: The Spring of Ilim II
"Sue me for what you're doing!" Danger lurks, but Zhao Min is still calm.
“ATeam! Attack! Right away! Elaine tried to cover herself and shouted loudly. Under Zhao Min's oppressive gaze, she felt as if she was standing naked in front of Zhao Min—oh, it's not a metaphor—and she shouted out in a gaffe.
However, nothing happened. There was no response from his subordinates, and no burning muzzles, just as those who had just retreated into the darkness were now consumed by the darkness.
“ATeam! Answer me! Melanie! Elsa...... "Elaine's voice became more and more helpless, almost crying. As a powerful, honorable member of Team Asalit, she had never been in such a bad situation. And at this moment, Zhao Min, who has his back to the light, seems to have changed from the queen who coexisted with sternness and gentleness in the past to the extremely frightened Cun. But when she wanted to turn around and run away, she could only stay on the edge of the light trembling all over.
The next layer turned into a deep darkness again. The darkness that had devoured her companions seemed to be waiting for her to throw herself into the net. In front of him, there was a darkness that was thick to the point of substance. Behind him, the open door was like a monster's mouth, and there was an extremely terrifying queen majesty. Elaine stood on the edge of the rectangle that the light had drawn on the ground, as if she were standing on the tongue of a monster...... The young Asari finally had a nervous breakdown, crouched on the edge of the light, and began to cry.
Behind her, she didn't see Zhao Min cover her face in collapse.
Just as Elaine wept, waiting for the final verdict. A garment was draped over her body. A warm hand gently stroked her head, "Silly girl, still so timid." She heard Zhao Min say this. It was as if I had returned to the years half a year ago, and I suddenly cried out loud regardless of a qiē.
……
Speaking of which, the Asari's special forces are really different from the human ones. Because the Asari people are a tribal union, each tribe has its own troops, and the criteria for selecting warriors are varied, and not all of them are really strong. Moreover, the Ashari have different philosophies from humans, because they live for thousands of years. Rather than compulsory training, they are more interested in natural comprehension – as long as they live long enough, there will always be a day when they will open their minds.
Plus the Asari are strong in combat. With abilities, longevity, and the backing of the most powerful nation in the galaxy, Elaine's team has had smooth sailing in the past. There have been no setbacks at all...... The surface is tough. Psychologically, he is still a weak chicken......
When she finally vented her grievances and fears enough, and her feelings calmed down, she found herself naked/naked in the arms of the queen's sister, hanging on her body without any gaps. When she felt the queen's sister's arm around her waist, she was suddenly hot, and her whole body was not good. Those arms seemed to have magical power, and she hung on them with a limp, and she didn't want to leave. I just want to hug my sister tightly. That sense of well-being...... Even if she was looked at with disdain by Xiao Lingmeng, she didn't want to let go of her hand.
In fact, Xiao Lingmeng just lamented the infectious power of the "Dawn Virus". Elaine was nothing more than a victim in her eyes - the original Gensokyo was like a paradise (image) - but now? Green Tea Virus, Ice Cream Virus, Lily Virus, Master and Servant PLAY Virus...... 's invasion has turned the beautiful Gensokyo into the evil of this world.
"Alas~", Xiao Lingmeng sighed faintly, "I was infected by the 'Love Money Virus', and I am also a victim." ”
****
"Smack~" The smooth buttocks were gently patted, and Elaine's body trembled greatly. "Sister ~ Sister ~"
"Why do you have to stop me, now give me an honest explanation." Zhao Min asked in her ear, but there was no strong meaning in her tone. The flirtatious/playful flavor is more.
"Well, I'll tell Sister Sù as it is. Can you ......" Elaine paused a little embarrassed, "I need to communicate with the communicator connected to the headquarters to report the situation here, otherwise they will continue to attack." And how is my companion? ”
"Don't worry, they're just passing out, and their lives aren't in danger." Zhao Min made a gesture into the darkness.
Elaine looked curiously in the direction that Zhao Min gestured, she could feel that there was a creature moving in this direction, but no matter how she opened her eyes, she could only see the deep darkness. It wasn't until a subtle rustle came to the front that the true face of the comer was revealed......
"That'...... What is that?! Elaine screamed and hugged Zhao Min tightly, she was sure that what she saw was definitely not a known species in the galaxy!
A six-armed snake demon more than three meters tall swam out of the darkness silently. The snake demon is wrapped in black armor and walks through its belly and tail without making any sound at all. And there is a "Abyssal Darkness" type spell that can wrap the snake demon in a layer of magical darkness that cannot be penetrated by the line of sight, which makes the snake demon the best night killer! What's more, they have six arms, and they can switch between long-range firepower, cold weapons, and energy shields at any time, making them the most perfect soldiers.
Although the version made by Kexue is not as powerful as the original version of the Abyss. Due to the lack of abyssal growth conditions and the long evolution time, the Dawn version of the six-armed snake demon lacks a large number of spell-like abilities. However, after Kexue added the genes of the Sand Demon Worm, the Six-armed Snake Demon perfectly devoured and transformed these genes (which was one of their evolutionary methods), resulting in the formation of scale armor on the surface of their bodies, which resembled the effects of personal armor, and even had a weak ability to manipulate the Mass Effect Field!
This move propelled the Dawn version of the Serpent Demon onto the stage of the elite class. Moreover, the wisdom of the six-armed snake demon is no different from that of ordinary people, and it is more calm and cunning when fighting, which is much stronger than the rough brother of the green skin. At present, it is only due to the limitations of the core division that the overall number of six-armed snake demons cannot be expanded, and can only be used as an elite detachment and scientific research assistant.
The snake demon ignored the trembling Elaine, and she threw the unconscious Asari in her hand into the circle of light, and then snaked back into the darkness, and disappeared in an instant.
"Don't be afraid, it's my guard." Zhao Min comforted. She removed the communicator from the unconscious Asari and gave it to Elaine.
"I really don't know how many hidden hole cards my sister has......" Elaine looked at the direction where the snake demon left, the kind of six-armed snake man. It gave her a great sense of fear. "I definitely don't want to stand across from my sister if I could." Elaine turned on the communicator and quickly reported the situation here. After that, Elaine didn't turn off the communicator, and next, she had to convince Zhao Min not to leave the mansion - the people on the other side of the communicator had the right to decide what chips to exchange.
"So. Now why is this? ”
"Because we can't let my sister leave with so much money, 8.5 billion star dollars in cash is too much!" Elaine whispered the person behind her. It is also the intention of the entire Asari race. "Sister, we don't care about the dirty dealings of the Wallers, nor the military secrets of the Turks you bought. As long as you don't leave with the money, you can do anything in Irim! Whether it's to buy supplies. Or start more companies. Or even monopolize a certain industry in Ilim! I believe that with Asari's support, no one dares to touch her sister's interests! ”
"But I remember, it seems to be my money?" Zhao Min smiled dangerously, "Asari people mean, I can't decide where to put my money?!" ”
"Please, sister! Listen to my explanation! Feeling that Zhao Min was on the verge of an angry outburst again, Elaine hugged Zhao Min's neck tightly. Believe me, this time it's a conspiracy of the Wallers! on the planet. Neither the Waller nor the Asari could come up with 6 billion star dollars in cash at once! This is for almost a decade. Isn't it strange that the biggest cash transaction ever made?
Think about it, as a circulation port, although Planet Ilim has trillions of star dollars in trading volume every year, the average economic volume is only about 200 billion star dollars. If you siphon out the 8.5 billion cash, it is likely to cause an instantaneous financial shock, and then the Wallers will definitely take the opportunity to launch a sniper and break the financial chain of the entire Irim!
The second possibility, if we use coercion to keep you. Then as long as the news of your disappearance or detention leaks out, the credibility of Planet Irium will also be damaged!
Whatever happens, it's what the Wallers want to see. At that time, they will fight with the Asari for control of the free port of Irium......"
As we said before, Xingyuan is a credit currency, which is only determined by the creditworthiness of each person, and is not issued by any country (the biggest advantage is that the state can no longer rob private wealth by printing waste paper to fill the financial hole it has created). In the current integration of credit and currency in the whole galaxy, the creditworthiness of each independent economic entity can be measured, transferred, and traded, which has become a star dollar.
Therefore, Xingyuan cash is no longer a paper with an anti-counterfeiting pattern, nor is it a simple number, it is a virtual entity - take away 85 Xingyuan cash, and take away the same amount of credit is the same meaning!
Therefore, for the planet Irimu, which has an average total amount of about 200 billion star dollars and is full of speculation, it will indeed cause a considerable impact. Even as a lever, it is not impossible to trigger changes in the superstructure.
With tears in her eyes, Elaine looked into Zhao Min's eyes and continued, "The news that you are carrying 8.5 billion cash has been spread by someone somebody!"
Outside the building, there are countless people waiting for you to leave, careerists, conspirators, robbers on fire, mercenaries who want to make a fortune...... I'm afraid that now all of Irim is your enemy! No ship in the harbor dares to send you away. Even if there were, beyond the synchronous orbit of Ilim, there were many traces of unidentified ships...... You are now the center of the entire Irim Vortex and no one can sit back and watch you leave! I came with the advance team, just to keep my sister first, and then slowly convince my sister to ......"
At this time, the microphone that had been silent also sounded at the right time, and a deep female voice came out. "Zhao Min, we have met, maybe you haven't paid attention to me, but I have been paying attention to you for a long time...... You're ambitious, you're more capable of matching ambitions, and we've always had a great time working together...... Your mercy to the soldiers of the advance team showed me a not-so-dark side of you, and it also gave me a new idea. She paused, as if she needed to digest the shock of the thought. Irium should put an end to this chaotic situation, then the Asari are willing to support you to become the queen of Irim!
Not a puppet of anyone. A true queen - just like Aria of Omega! ”
"Ahh This time, even Elaine shouted out in surprise.
Omega Space Station - Omega Nebula, Sarabarek System. A hollowed-out metal planet turned into a space station. A safe haven for criminals, rebels, and terrorists - and Arya the Asari is the uncrowned queen at the helm of the 78 million-strong space station!
Zhao Min admitted that for a moment, her heart was moved. Not because of power and ambition, but because of something else. It's just that she immediately realized that so many years have passed. It doesn't make sense for her to compete with Lu Yuan in secret again! …… Lu Yuan's eyes were already on the changes in the entire plane and the world, and he would fight for one city and one place by himself. It will only look petty.
So she put down the temptation of Ashali in a blink of an eye.
And the nervousness of the Asari people also made her understand a lot of things that had been veiled before.
On the surface, the planet Irimu is located between the Bounded God Domain and the Divine Citadel Domain. There is a large number of smuggling transactions. An independent, depraved/fallen, dirty and sinful trading planet. Although it is true that there are a large number of Asari in its superstructure, no one has ever considered it to be Asari territory - it is only partially recognized as an Asari colony.
This is because the style here does not match the aesthetics of the Asari ethnic tradition. What's more, most of the Asari people here are "aliens" who are ostracized by their own race. In the traditional territory of Asari, Iriem is seen as a negative example on an almost daily basis in the news of Asari.
But Zhao Min, who stepped into the upper class of Ilim's society, found a lot of traditional Asari people there. Zhao Min had already confirmed from the details. These people don't like the culture at all, but they have a sacred feeling. Stick to the "dirty" work here, just like Elaine. Although they live in a staggered and bright world every day, they always give people the taste of sacrificing their lives for the country......
Then, after all possibilities are ruled out, there is only one truth - Iriem, in fact, is the cash lungs of the Asari, and this is the answer to the question!
I won't go into detail here. To put it simply, the social structure of Asari is still a tribal union, because it is too liberal to couple many races into a true state. Such a social structure has great weaknesses, especially the lack of unified finance.
In this case, overall financial security becomes a weakness for the Asari. And Irim's deposit zài is actually secretly playing the role of a part of the central bank of the Asari...... The Wallers saw this, and after controlling the economy of the Turks with the means within the rules, they began to extend their claws to the Asari. This is exactly what many people, even the conservative forces within Asari, want to see.
And Zhao Min's transaction is an opportunity created by the joint efforts of many parties......
Thinking of this, Zhao Min shook his head directly, "I refuse." ”
"Sister!" There was silence on the other side of the microphone, and only Elaine shouted anxiously. She looked at Zhao Min with pleading eyes, and from the bottom of her heart, she didn't expect Zhao Min to fall out with the person on the other side of the microphone.
"Don't worry," Zhao Min touched her head and said into the microphone, "I have a new mention here." I only took 1.5 billion in cash, and the rest was used to buy details of one of the Asari's weapons. And I pledge that these technologies will not be used for the benefit of the Asari, nor will they be handed over to any country. With regard to the above guarantees, we can bind them by express provisions. With the strength of the Asari people, it is believed that these texts can be used as laws. ”
7,000,000,000,000 stars! Buy only one type of weapon! Elaine felt so nervous that she couldn't breathe! All she had to do was just hug Zhao Min!
It took more than a dozen seconds like centuries before the man's voice came through the microphone, "Tell me about ......"
Zhao Min smiled, her delicate lips gently spit out four simple words, "Tian Ming fried rice." ”
"Destiny is extraordinary!" , The person on the other side of the microphone exclaimed together with Elaine, who was holding her!
――――――
PS: Hmm~ Tian Ming fried rice, a very delicious fried rice.
