Chapter 449: Conditions for Joining
Fortunately, Shen Chao has seen a lot of eyes like this, and knows that this kind of look itself is not malicious, but just a form of confusion. Being able to be confused shows that Sister Xue believes her own explanation very much, and it is not the kind of situation where she purely treats herself as a neuropath. So he was quite sure that Sister Xue had accepted her statement now. Then the next step is to talk to Sister Xue about the topic.
"Will you help me deal with the Reaper?" Sister Xue's first question after she reacted was this, she didn't try to immediately understand her own future fate, the source of Shen Chao's ability, or any other abstract concept.
After realizing the true meaning and immeasurable strategic value of time travel as Shen Chao spoke, she forced herself to suppress her curiosity in other quarters, and first asked the crucial question of her galaxy's survival.
"Haven't I been doing this all along?" Shepard! From the time we met, from Eden Main to the Battle of Citadel to the Raids of the Collectors and the latest Bunker plan, haven't I always been there to help you deal with the Reapers? So a better question is, how can you help me? ”
Shen Chao asked rhetorically. His words made Sister Xue a little speechless for a while, she thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was really as Shen Chao said, every time she faced a heavy choice, Shen Chao did everything she could to help her.
"Help?" About what? You obviously have what you want......" Sister Xue finally replied with a wry smile, she really couldn't think of anything Shen Chao would need her for a while.
When Shen Chao introduced it just now, he had already explained that this was only one of the two planes of earth he occupied, although this earth was sparsely populated. Lack of development. But there are billions of people on the other planet.
From this point of view, the resources currently at Shen Chao's disposal are equivalent to the government agencies of a small race in the galaxy of the Mass Effect plane. In addition, Shen Chao is a time traveler who can come and go whenever he wants, he can face almost any danger and be invincible, how can he need her help?
"There is always a misconception that many people naively think that just because I'm a traveler who can travel through all planes, I must have everything I want! It's normal to think this way, but unfortunately, it's just a big misunderstanding. ”
"Don't get me wrong. My life is very fulfilling now. Compared to my past, I can even say that I am very happy, but that doesn't mean that I can get what I want. No one can have the qiē they want, no matter how strong their personal strength or wisdom is! ”
"The reason is simple. Because once you have something you've always wanted. Your heart will want to have something else to fill the new void. There is no end to desire. The difference is simply how we respond to these desires......"
Shen Chao said that he first responded to a philosophical but no practical word, in order to lead Sister Xue to his train of thought. Scenes like this are now able to be mastered and used by him very skillfully.
It turns out that in many cases. The mouth cannon is a more effective weapon than the gun. Especially for Shen Chao now, most of the problems he faces, who rarely participates in front-line operations, need to be solved with wisdom and eloquence, rather than his favorite mode of violence.
Due to these practical needs, Shen Chao also specially found some performing arts experts from different planes to train his eloquence, and he has a strong learning ability, and now he can almost talk about people and talk nonsense.
No matter what kind of "guest" or "enemy" he encountered, he could almost always persuade the other party by "mouth cannon" to achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight. Of course, the main reason why he was able to do this was not his eloquence by leaps and bounds, but the growing strength and influence of the Space-Time Council.
It's the same here, Shen Chao first showed Sister Xue his ability to travel through time and space, showed his military ability with an encirclement, and later took Sister Xue to visit and show his scientific research ability. And now, Shen Chao felt that the time had come, so he was ready to make a final breakthrough in Sister Xue's spiritual defense.
"It's the same to put this situation into the situation for both of us, I have a lot of resources that will be useful to you, and in the long run, my organization should develop forces that can help you deal with the Reapers, which you and I would love to see." ”
"But, but at the same time, it means a lot of risk. If I help you deal with the Reaper, then the life of everyone I send to help you deal with the Reaper will be in danger. If there is no reasonable benefit, how can you expect me to convince everyone out there to help you for free? ”
Shen Chao finally threw out the final burden in the conversation. He very much wanted to recruit Sister Xue, but he also knew that it was basically impossible for a person like Sister Xue who pursued honor and a sense of accomplishment to succeed in directly proposing conditions.
So he first painstakingly laid out all kinds of background information, and showed them in a way that was beneficial to him, and finally, after showing it, let Sister Xue think about what to do by herself.
In this respect, his methods are similar to those of the reaper. According to their research, the reaper's indoctrination also depends on the victim's own conflict of consciousness to be effective.
This is also why Shen Chao is now using this "mouth cannon" skill more and more, and the effect of defeating or persuading the opponent mentally is far stronger than the force of subjugation. Of course, if he can really convince the other party.
"What's your tiyi?" In the end, Sister Xue, who also mastered the superb "mouth cannon" skills, finally realized that Shen Chao was using the "mouth cannon" skills to persuade her, and the purpose was nothing more than to let her make her own conditions to bargain.
This shows that Shen Chao is ready to make an important deal with her alone. The success or failure of this deal is related to the fate of trillions of beings in the galaxy, even a confident person like Sister Xue can hardly believe that she is the most suitable person to do this transaction, and she is not sure if she will regret making this deal with Shen Chao with an unknown future afterwards.
But she also knew that Shen Chao must have been preparing the conditions for this transaction for a long time. If she refused, it was hard to say whether Shen Chao would find someone else to make a deal or simply stop caring about the threat of her mother plane reaper, so if she refused to trade, she would definitely regret it in the future......
Thinking of this, Sister Xue couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous. If she had known yesterday that there was such an alliance as Shen Chao who had the potential to overturn the Reaper alone, she would definitely not hesitate to woo the other party and agree to any conditions of the other party.
But now, after really knowing Shen Chao's identity and ability, she hesitated. But thinking of the Reaper's powerful combat power and that desperate number, Sister Xue knew that it was impossible for her to refuse Shen Chao's help, no matter what the additional conditions were!
"My condition is that you join my space-time expedition to help me explore the unknown plane, and act as my ambassador in your home plane. And in exchange, I will provide you with a possible help when the Reapers invade your mother plane, and ultimately help you defeat them......" Shen Chao gave his own conditions.
"I agree! Sister Xue was stunned for a moment when she heard this before agreeing to Shen Chao's conditions, she obviously didn't expect Shen Chao's request to be so simple, and she was just letting her join her own organization alone.
And even if she agreed to Shen Chao's conditions, she was very much tempted, and she was not too sure that Shen Chao would do what he agreed. The biggest reason why he agreed was that he wanted to stay and have a look first.
"Agreed so quickly? Don't think much about it? Shen Chao was a little strange to see that Sister Xue agreed so quickly, but soon he guessed that Sister Xue should still have doubts.
"Even if this deal can't be made, you'll end up with nothing more than my life and death." In contrast, I prefer to believe that you will keep your promises. Now, now that we've reached an agreement, what do you need me to do? ”
"You're really observant, Shepard. But I don't need to do anything right now. You still have a lot of background to add before we can work together. The Reapers' return is still two years away, and we all have a lot of preparation to do. ”
Shen Chao did not immediately arrange for Sister Xue to help him do anything, but decided to spend more time with her to familiarize himself with his organization, so as to build enough mutual trust for future cooperation. A Sister Xue who just cooperated with him was of little use to him, but a Sister Xue who trusted him and took the initiative to participate could bring great benefits to the council.
He first issued Sister Xue a pass with B-level security clearance, and then took her to the zero space station. There are also students who have been interrupted from their previous exams. Shen Chao is ready to use a vivid on-site display here to let Sister Xue understand that the promise of self-sufficiency is not a blank promise.
At dock 08, a whole brigade of cadets was waiting for the order to go. It hasn't been more than two days since they were recalled, and they only know that something happened to plane 035, but they haven't been told what exactly happened. Seeing Shen Chao bring Sister Xue over, many of them thought that something big had happened to the Mass Effect plane.
But Shen Chao's speech after his arrival broke this doubt, and Shen Chao announced that from now on to resume the progress of the exam that had been stopped before, the students will return to the "examination room" in batches to continue their exams.
It is worth noting that the exam is now in the second half of the middle term. Most of the teams have completed the run-in between teammates, and the few students who can't stand the pressure or can't work effectively with their teammates have also been eliminated. (To be continued......)
