For the well-known open-boiled fighters in this universe, the heads of dozens of countries were silent, quietly listening to the old man's words.

The hearts of the leaders are very heavy, because the five major countries in the universe have completely become imperial countries, which has to make other countries in the universe feel the weakening of the power of the Mingzhu system and the danger of the Mingzhu countries.

Everyone knew very well what the old man was going to do when he called on his people to come together. It is definitely necessary for the Mingzhu countries to form an alliance, because if these countries do not unite, they will not be able to compete with the five major powers of the universe at all.

Even if these five powers attacked each other, the troops they sent out would be enough to beat the surrounding countries to pieces, because the five powers were too powerful.

When the old man finally finished speaking, began to rest and breathe, and waited for the other leaders to express their positions, the scene was silent, and the leaders looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone was silent.

Everyone present understands the current situation, not to mention a clear-eyed person, even a blind person can see it at a glance.

If these open-boiled countries fight their own battles, then this universe will eventually be the territory of the five imperial countries, and the open-boiled system cannot exist in this universe at all.

If you don't unite, you'll be finished, and if you join forces and go your own way, you'll be doomed.

But these people can't easily express their position, because they represent the interests of their country, and they can't give up the title of leader of the alliance to others, and now everyone is waiting for others to emerge first.

"Ahem, I thought we should decide on the alliance first, standardize the alliance system, and then confirm the person in charge of the alliance's affairs?" The initiating old man, who knew what these people were used to, had no choice but to break the silence and speak.

Seeing that someone was taking the lead, the other leaders immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss. No way, it's their habit, not the habit of being a bird.

"How about an alliance called an anti-imperialist alliance?" A head of state put forward an opinion, but it was quickly retorted: "The meaning of this name is too narrow, we do not particularly want to oppose imperial states, some constitutional monarchies are similar to us!"

"Don't say that in the past, even now we have diplomatic relations with imperial countries, and we can't knock down a boatload of people with one rod! If our alliance wants to reflect the true meaning of the boiling, I think it might as well be called the Mingboiling Alliance! ”

"Against! Your Excellency just said that you should not be particularly hostile to the imperial countries, and isn't your Mingzhu Alliance tantamount to treating all countries except the countries of the Mingzhu system as our enemies? In this way, we are challenging the whole universe, and it won't be long before we will be attacked and destroyed by a joint attack!

"In order to ensure that our alliance can thrive, we need to absorb member countries of various systems to join, so that this is the true embodiment of Ming Boil, I think our alliance is called the Cosmic Alliance!" One of the leaders proposed.

"Well, the Cosmic Alliance, that's a good name."

The leaders present nodded in agreement, and the old man of the initiator kept nodding his head, his lifelong wish was to hope that the whole universe could be unified, and war would no longer break out in this universe. Now it seems that his wish is slowly starting to come true.

"Then the members of the highest executive body of the alliance are served by all the people present, and all bills need to be more than two-thirds of the total number of members to pass, and the chairman of the highest executive body is held in the order of rotation?" One of the leaders proposed.

It doesn't matter if the first two are not the members of the committee, do you have to go back to a national election! That's a waste of time.

As for the number of votes to pass the proposal, this is the case in the country, and of course it should be in the alliance.

However, the term of office of the chairman needs to be discussed, because the term of office of the chairman is only rotated every few years, and when it is his turn, he has no idea where he will die.

But if it's a month or two, and the butt hasn't been hot and has stepped off the stage, it's uncomfortable to think about it, so you still have to discuss it carefully!

The old man of the initiators stared blankly at the heads of these boiled countries, and when they were arguing over this issue and finally arguing for a six-month term, these leaders began to quarrel over who would be the first chairman.

I don't know what the old man of the initiator is thinking, but at this moment, his face is not as good-looking as when he appealed loudly just now, and the whole person looks much grayer.

With the strength of his country and the benefits promised to other leaders, a certain leader finally got his wish to become the first president of the Cosmic Alliance.

After discussing some details, he couldn't wait to get on the TV station and announce the formation of the Cosmic Alliance to the whole universe.

"The Cosmic Alliance, with a total of forty-three founding members, are all medium-sized countries with a boiled system.

"There are only four main rules and regulations of the Space Alliance, which are the political reading, economic complementarity, military unity, and intelligence sharing among the member countries of the Alliance.

"The purpose of the Cosmic Alliance is to establish a unified alliance of the whole universe, which can be said to be a relatively rigorous and unified alliance."

A secretary-like person displayed the freshly baked data of the Cosmic Alliance on the screen.

It is a spacious and gorgeous palace, and dozens of virtual avatars hang around the palace, these characters are the same identity as the leaders of the Cosmic Alliance, but they all have an extra crown representing their identity on their heads.

After reading the data, a fierce-looking emperor immediately opened his mouth and scolded: "Fuck! Those guys actually have a cosmic alliance?

"Bah, what qualifications do these cowards have to form a cosmic alliance?! I think those of us who are emperors should simply form an imperial alliance to kill their so-called cosmic alliance! ”

"That's right, that cosmic alliance is actually the Mingzhu Alliance, or the Anti-Imperialist Alliance, which is our mortal enemy! It's easy to get rid of it early! A young emperor nodded.

An emperor who looked like a playboy shouted: "In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's form an alliance and go to war! ”

"Well, we have forty-five medium-sized emperors here, let's put them together, don't talk about that cosmic alliance, even the five major countries of the universe, we can also ignore it.

"The alliance must be formed, but we still have to formulate rules and regulations first, so as not to fight each other at the time." An older emperor said.

Everyone agrees with this, because they first gathered here to find partners to resist the powerful offensive of the five major powers in the universe, but they were a little worried that after forming an alliance specifically against the five major powers, the five major powers would attack them wantonly.

But I don't have to care about it now, because I formed this alliance to deal with the Cosmic Alliance, not against the five major powers.

After some discussion, this imperial alliance set the same rules as the cosmic alliance, which are all rules for political reading, economic complementarity, military unity, and intelligence sharing, but they do not have an alliance chairman, because they are all unwilling to condescend to the role of others.

They have come up with a voting mechanism in which the minority obeys the majority, and for a proposal, even one more vote is considered to win; Unlike the Cosmic Alliance, which requires a two-thirds vote to pass.

The universe was lively again, and not long after the establishment of the Cosmic Alliance, which was composed of all the Cyanchou countries, an imperial alliance composed of all the imperial countries was also formed.

The alliance formed by the countries of these two different systems made everyone think that the scene of the life-and-death struggle between the two systems in history would reappear.

However, to the surprise of the world again, three more alliances emerged after these two alliances, one is an alliance of the family system and the country together, and this alliance did not think much about the name, and directly used the name of the family alliance.

The other is the Religious Union, which, as the name suggests, is a unified union of countries with several religious systems.

The last one is the Reading Talent Alliance, which is transformed from the Mingzhu country, which is composed of countries where the head controls the power of the entire country, but the head cannot ascend the throne as emperor for various reasons.

After the emergence of these five major alliances, they went around recruiting members.

It didn't take long for the entire universe to be almost divided into five forces, and it can be concluded that the master of this universe will be created in these five alliances.

In the Hall of Deliberation and Politics of the Tang Imperial Palace, Xing Ling, who served as the Minister of Internal Affairs, told Tang Long and the ministers about the current situation in the Tang Dynasty: "My country has annexed Wen China last week and completely controls this star field. At present, China has 23 galaxies, and the number of administrative planets has reached 100,03,725.

"At present, the monthly tax revenue is 132.57 trillion yuan, and in addition to the fixed huge expenses, the remaining funds are used to purchase military material stocks and build administrative planets, so there is no extra budget left.

"Now it has a total strength of 57.6 million, the main combat strength is 15 million, divided into 15 corps, the military department proposed to expand the combat force to another 20 combat corps, Tang Long, you have confirmed it.

"However, although the personnel, materials and equipment are sufficient, the military budget is insufficient, and it will take two months to complete the expansion and training."

Speaking of this, Xing Ling said to the personnel of the military department: "Your military department's expansion plan this time has already emptied our country's inventory, and it will not be possible to expand the army again within this year." ”

"Commander-in-chief, our country's inventory is so abundant, how can we expand twenty legions, and only 20 million troops will sweep away the inventory?" Lieutenant General Zhang Guanhua, one of the representatives of the military department, asked a little puzzled.

"Humph! I don't want to think about what the basic configuration of your legions is, the main battleships are Moby Dick battleships, and the X-battleships are all used as equipment for training and garrison troops, do you think that my country's arsenal is like flowing water, and it can produce Moby Dick battleships in an endless stream?

"Also, the usual exercises of your combat legions are super intense, and a lot of energy will be consumed in one practice, so these energies will not be gone?

"Tell you, now that the inventory is out of stock, don't pull it down!" Before Star Zero could speak, Elsie, who had finally thrown away his position as Minister of Education and changed his career to become the head of engineering and manufacturing, immediately jumped out and shouted.

Seeing this fiery chief in charge of supplies come out, the people in the military department shrank their necks and remained silent.

After smiling at Elxi, Xing Ling continued: "The newly developed 350,000 resource stars, plus the original resource stars, can produce 70 trillion tons of materials and 70 billion kilowatt-hours of energy per month, and in addition to ensuring the needs of China's rapid development, a large number of materials can be left in stock. ”

Xing Ling, the chief of the interior, just gave an outline prompt, and then there were detailed reports on various departments of the interior, such as the progress of the legal department in formulating the Tang Constitution, and the problems and achievements of the economic, educational, scientific research, and construction departments.

When the members of the military department were a little impatient to listen, the internal affairs report was finally over, and it was the turn of Tang Xing, the chief of foreign affairs, to make the report.

Tang Xing's report is very simple, at the beginning, how many administrative planets have been annexed during this time, diplomatic relations have been established with several countries, where rare metals have been discovered, which countries have the materials that Datang urgently needs, and which countries need to make plans to annex, this is all known to everyone, so it was solved in a few words.

Then came the highlight of foreign affairs, the detailed report of the intelligence services.

Ling Li, the head of the secret service, got up and said: "During this period of time, with the accession of the heads of the four major powers of the universe to the throne as emperor, the original alliance of the five major powers was officially dissolved, and while they began to attack each other, they also increased their external expansion actions, which caused a series of chemical reactions, making the entire universe truly enter the era of war. ”

Hearing this, Tang Long's eyebrows jumped, his contact with Tang Jin's five people was completely severed, except for knowing the actions of these five countries, he couldn't know what these five people had become.

Although he suspected that they would betray him, he absolutely did not believe that they would betray him, such a contradictory mood made Tang Long reluctant to think about what happened to them, anyway, the final result was war, because there can only be one country in the unified universe.

"Due to the strong strength of these five powers and the frenzied devouring of nearby countries, the countries of the entire universe are panicked and have formed alliances to protect themselves.

"In addition to these five foreign countries, the universe has slowly integrated five major alliances, these five alliances are relatively tightly organized alliances, and most of the alliances are implementing policies of political reading, economic complementarity, military unification, and intelligence sharing."

When Ling Li said this, Tang Xing, the chief minister of foreign affairs, interjected and said: "After the analysis of the intelligence department, we cannot attack other countries at will at present.

"Because except for us and a very small number of countries, the vast majority of countries have joined the five major alliances, and once they attack the countries in the alliance, they will be the enemy of the entire alliance.

"I hope that the military department will pay attention not to provoke the five major alliances to attack our country at the same time."

Tang Xing has long been displeased with the performance of the military department in developing arrogance because of the victory during this period of time, and took this opportunity to find something to do and discipline the military department, and the members of the military department who understood Tang Xing's thoughts could only smile bitterly.

Hearing Tang Xing's words, everyone sighed, especially the members of the military department, who were even more depressed, because in the future, they couldn't fight whoever they wanted, and they could swallow whoever they wanted.

Tang Long saw that everyone's morale was low, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry so much, we can pick an alliance as an ally, and then help this ally fight another alliance."

"When the surrounding alliances are killed, my country will not know how strong it will be for a long time, and it will not matter at all to destroy the last alliance with a bite."

Speaking of this, finding that the members of the military department had already lit up, Tang Long couldn't help but shake his head and said to Ling Li: "Ling Li, don't pay attention to these war maniacs, continue your report." ”

"Yes, my lord. The first of these five alliances is the Cosmic Alliance, whose main members are the countries of the Ming Boil, but of course, there are also a small number of constitutional monarchies and imperial states with a side of monarchy.

"The highest body is the Union Parliament, all member states are members of the Parliament, and the supreme head is the President of the Parliament, but this chairman is a semi-annual round, and cannot fully control the Union.

"Moreover, at the time of the resolution, more than two-thirds of the total number of personnel were required to take effect, and many proposals could not be adopted because of this provision.

"Now there are sixty-five member countries, with 1.27 billion troops, and it can be said that most of the countries in the universe have joined this alliance.

"The second is the Imperial Alliance, whose member states are all imperial states with a single composition and do not accept the participation of countries from other systems.

"The supreme body is also the Union Parliament, but there is no supreme head, and the minority obeys the majority as the ruling method, although this ruling method solves many problems, but it inevitably makes the minority resentful, there is nothing important to say, once there is something, there will be internal divisions at any time.

"There are currently 55 member countries, with 1.31 billion troops, and it can be said that except for our Datang and those five major foreign countries, all imperial countries have entered this alliance."

"The third is the family alliance, all the members are family system countries, and the imperial alliance, it is an alliance that does not accept a single composition of outsiders, and the highest body is the family council, but this family council has not elected managers at all levels so far.

"This is because the families that joined this alliance are digging each other's walls and carrying out the annexation of hidden surnames, which can be said to be in a period of civil strife.

"There are more than 500 temporary members, which is the largest number of members among all alliances, and at the same time, the most scattered members of all alliances.

"The exact number of member states cannot be determined, because the family of the alliance is constantly in a state of annexation and internal division, and it is impossible to determine the exact number.

"With 680 million troops, although this alliance has also implemented policies of political reading, economic complementarity, military unity, and intelligence sharing, their families are too far apart from each other, and they are too scattered to condense into combat effectiveness at all.

"Except for a few neighboring families, the other families can be swallowed up by other alliances at any time, and it can be said that it is the weakest alliance among the five alliances.

"The fourth is the Reading Talent Alliance composed of scholars, originally they would not form an alliance, but since they are neither an open cooking system nor an imperial state, the other two alliances do not accept them, so they have to form their own alliances.

"There are only twenty-three member states, and there is a loose parliamentary system, similar to that of the Imperial Union Parliament, only more loose, and the member states can even disobey the decisions of the Union Parliament.

"Although the number of these reckless scholars has reached an astonishing number of one billion, the Cosmic Alliance, with the Mingzhu country as the main body, puts the Imperial Alliance in the second place, and regards the Reading Talent Alliance as the first mortal enemy, making it impossible for the powerful forces of the Reading Talent Alliance to expand externally.

"At this moment, the Universe Alliance is attacking the Alliance under the banner of eliminating the Readers, although the battle is in a stalemate, but due to the Universe Alliance's rebellion, propaganda, funding and other means against the Scholars Alliance, it has triggered a large-scale uprising of opponents in the Scholars Alliance.

"The balance of victory is already tilted in favor of the Cosmic Alliance, if there is nothing, I believe that this Reading Talent Alliance will soon disappear into the universe."

"The last alliance is the Religious Alliance, which has a policy of religious autonomy, intelligence sharing, military alliance, and economic unity, and has the smallest number of members, only 12, and has only more than 300 million troops.

"Although their military operations are under joint command, they are the most difficult of the five alliances due to their soldiers' religious fanaticism and the ability to fight to the death like the robot soldiers.

"And they are keen to carry out indiscriminate and arbitrary terrorist attacks on enemy countries, so once they are provoked, they must be completely exterminated, otherwise the country itself will suffer a series of terrorist attacks."

Hearing this, Tang Long couldn't help but ask, "Is the Mighty God Kingdom a member of the Religious Alliance?" ”

Ling Li shook her head: "No, now the entire universe has not joined the alliance, except for the five major foreign countries, there are only my country and the Mighty God Kingdom, as well as more than a dozen countries around the Mighty God Kingdom.

"However, according to our judgment, those dozen or so countries are just puppet states of the Mighty God Kingdom."

Tang Xing interjected and said, "Now that the online evaluation is made, the Kingdom of the Mighty God is the most peaceful country in the whole universe. The whole universe is so chaotic, there is not a trace of gunpowder there.

"Now many wealthy people who are afraid of being drawn into the war have moved to the Kingdom of Weishen, and a large number of them have emigrated from the five major countries such as the Wulai Kingdom."

"Damn! Those rich people went to the Kingdom of Mighty God, didn't they send money to the Kingdom of Mighty God? Why don't you come to my Datang! I don't have any war in Datang, I really don't know the goods! ”

Tang Long said angrily, he forgot to attack the kingdoms of other countries all day long, can it be called safe? Although no one has been able to invade the Tang Dynasty for the time being.

Tang Long said these words in his mouth, but he couldn't help but guess in his heart what would happen to his classmate who went to the Kingdom of Mighty Gods to learn the new version of computer programming methods.

On the side of an alley in a slum on a planet in the Kingdom of Mighty Gods, a black floating car came to a stop, and two stout men wearing black trench coats and black top hats quickly got out of the car.

One of them looked at the instrument in his hand and looked at his partner with some confusion, while the other man in black asked, "What's going on?" ”

"The signal is gone again." The man in black holding the instrument said helplessly.

"Damn, how can this human be so cunning, this is the fifth time, how did she find out about the instrument placed on her belongings?" The other man in black said angrily.

The man in black holding the instrument lowered his voice and said, "Shut up, don't shout from humans and humans, and remember that we are also human now." ”

Although the other man in black was reluctant, he saw that the poor people near the alley had noticed the two of them, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Do we need to send people to surround this area to search?" ”

"No, have you forgotten that our duty is to quietly eliminate witnesses and perceivers, and make such a big noise that we want to go back to the furnace and rebuild? Now that the signal is gone, let's wait for the next time!

"Anyway, all the spaceports have already been prepared, she can't leave this planet, and it's only a matter of time before she is caught by us."

The man in black with the instrument said as he put it in his pocket and turned to walk towards the car.

"Hmph, damn it, if I catch you, you'll look good! It's really true, why don't you replace these poor people? That way we can catch that guy with just one command. Another man in black chattered.

"Damn, what are you talking nonsense! Don't look at these untouchables, although they are incapable and talentless, they can play a role in shielding the ears and eyes of outsiders! The man in black, who had already opened the car door, turned his head and shouted.

"Humph! Everyone knows these things, but it also makes it easier for those who witness and perceive them to hide among the poor. The other man in black muttered as he got into the car.

"There's no way around it, as long as they don't leave the planet, they won't be able to make any trouble no matter how much they do, and the network system and the spaceport are firmly in our hands!"

The man in black closed the car door as he spoke, started the car, and flew away with a whoosh.

After the car left for a while, a head slowly poked out from the gap between a dilapidated house in the alley, and this person was Tang Long's classmate Lan Mengyun.

She looked around warily, then pulled out another instrument and looked at it before finally stepping out with a sigh of relief.

Lan Mengyun shook the bag of things in his hand, and smiled helplessly: "Alas, if it weren't for the vending store that didn't sell these parts, I wouldn't have taken the risk of buying them myself!" So saying, he went to another place.

Lan Mengyun came to the door of a dilapidated house in the slum area, looked back and forth, and after finding nothing suspicious, he took out a card and swiped the door lock, opened the door and entered the building that he had bought with cash not long ago.

The dilapidated building was not well decorated, everything was as it was, the hall was furnished with broken furniture, and the corners were littered with metal parts.

Lan Mengyun bypassed the hall and entered his bedroom.

The room was a little better, at least the walls, floors, and mattresses weren't worn, but there were a couple of worn-out computers and a large pile of computer disks on the table.

Lan Mengyun threw aside the things he had brought back, turned on the computer, changed into light clothes, and then lit a cigarette and half-lay on the bed.

Looking at the rising smoke, Lan Mengyun couldn't help but sigh slightly, he knew that he wouldn't change his body, so that he would not only be hungry now, but also fatigued.

Only cigarettes and coffee can wake her up, and for work, her daughter has also learned to smoke, of course, she will not touch drugs.

But if you don't change your body, I'm afraid that you will be arrested and returned to the furnace before you enter this country, which is also a gain and a loss!

Thinking of this, Lan Mengyun couldn't help but smile slightly, he had never dared to accept the machine body, but he actually missed the machine body after turning back into a human, the world was really wonderful.

Taking a hard puff of cigarette and slowly spitting it out, Lan Mengyun couldn't help but think of whether it was worth it for her to leave her company, leave so many guards, go to this country alone, and get into trouble?

There was nothing wrong with her coming to learn a new editing program, and there was nothing wrong with stumbling upon the country's secrets, it was only the country that was at fault.

Yes, it's not the leaders of this country who are at fault, it's the whole country that's at fault.

No one may be able to believe it when he says it, and Lan Mengyun can't believe it at the moment when he knows what happened, and the people of this country will be replaced.

This is not a simple replacement, but relying on the DNA of the target person to cultivate a bornized person, and then replacing the target person with this cyborg with the same memory, appearance, voice, and DNA.

In this way, in ignorance, a person disappears, and those close to him cannot even notice that the person has changed person.

This is still when Lan Mengyun was learning a new program to edit data on the Internet, he accidentally entered a secret website, and then invaded this website with itchy hands, only to discover this shocking conspiracy.

At first, Lan Mengyun also felt that the content of this website was a prank, because with his own ability, there was really no way to invade the country's internal website.

Who knew that these replacement people thought that the entire country was in their own hands, and there was no strict protection of the record data at all, so that Lan Mengyun could easily enter.

It wasn't until someone began to come to the door to prepare to arrest Lan Mengyun that she realized that the content of the website was terrifyingly real.

Because of this, Lan Mengyun changed from a comfortable tourist to a wanted fugitive, and began a dark and frightened escape life.

Fortunately, Lan Mengyun is quite rich in intelligence and insight, relying on his ability and luck, he managed to escape from the replacement several times.

If it was just to replace a few high-ranking political officials or rich people, Lan Mengyun was not so surprised, what shocked her was that this replacement was planned, starting with one person, then a family, a community, a city, and finally a planet.

Lan Mengyun couldn't figure out which force was carrying out such a large-scale conspiracy, but although she was surprised by the conspiracy of this force, she still couldn't help but think that this force was an idiot.

If you want to control the country, you just need to replace the top people in the country, why replace everyone except the slums? Isn't it too much replacement material?

Lan Mengyun thought so at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't think so.

Lan Mengyun didn't believe that the forces capable of such a conspiracy would be idiotic enough to waste materials. Reasons like they can think of, can't they think of?

They must have a reason to do this, but they don't know it.

Twisting the cigarette out, Lan Mengyun got up and looked at the news he posted on the Internet, which was about the existence of the replacement of the Wei God Kingdom.

The result is still disappointing to myself, and the article has been deleted. It seems that if you don't want to find a way, this news will not be able to be passed on to the outside world.

Lan Mengyun, who understood this, took out the bag of parts he bought back and began to work as a craftsman.

She needs to make a device that can directly connect to foreign networks, only in this way can the news be spread, and only by alerting the outside world to this country can humanity have a chance to survive, otherwise it won't be long before the entire universe of humans will be replaced by replacement people.

Of course, when she activated the device, that is, when she chose a new home, she didn't believe that the replacement who had already mastered the entire country would not be able to find the device.

As for escaping by smuggling? Don't even think about it, those snake heads are definitely replacements, and only those poor people in the entire Weishen Kingdom can get rid of the fate of being replaced.

In this country, as long as there is a little normal and capable human being, they have been replaced by a replacement.

When Lan Mengyun was working hard, Tang Long was also awakened from his thoughts, and it was an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who reported to him: "Your Majesty, the representatives of the Imperial Alliance, the Family Alliance, and the Reading Talent Alliance are appearing at the border, and I hope to be able to get your reception. ”

"Hehe, in this way, except for the Religious Alliance and the Universe Alliance, the alliance organizations of the entire universe have come together, and they must be trying to pull me into their alliance.

"But it's not strange that the Imperial Alliance is looking for me, but what are the Family Alliance and the Reading Talent Alliance looking for me? I'm not one of their kind! Speaking of the back, Tang Long already had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Hehe, big brother, it's not because you implemented the family system at the earliest, then the talent reader system, and now the imperial system, so it's not strange that the three major alliances came to you!" The little black cat said with a smile.

Seeing that because Tang Jin had no news, the little black cat that could have been regarded as his own Wulai Kingdom had left again, and thus lost his happy mood finally smiled, Tang Long couldn't help but touch the little black cat's head with pity.

He said to the official who had come to report: "Take them in, entertain them separately, and let me bargain with them one by one to see who can get the most out of them." ”

(To be continued)
