"Applied to your situation, I want to help you fight against the Reaper, but in the end, whether I can help you in this matter depends on what kind of compromise you are willing to make......" Shen Chao finally led the topic to recruiting Sister Xue, he knew that the current Sister Xue would not refuse his invitation to join.

"You have skills that most people don't have, and more importantly, you can make the impossible possible. These are the qualities that a plane explorer needs most......" Sister Xue quietly listened to him introduce the many benefits of joining the expedition as Shen Chao expected. She knew that Shen Chao had spent so much time trying to recruit her. While feeling deeply honored, she made a fierce ideological choice in her heart.

She knew that joining Shen Chao's space-time expedition was the fastest and safest way to defeat the Reaper, but she had to deduce in her mind what such a choice would bring to her home plane.

What will Shen Chao ask for after relying on the Space-Time Council to defeat the Reaper? What if Shen Chao asks everyone to surrender to him after he becomes bigger? Obviously, Shen Chao would not provide a large fleet to fight an interstellar war for free because of his own request.

And after Shen Chao put forward his political request, what will the Divine Citadel Council do, and what will people think of her who stands with Shen Chao? Will you think of her as a heroine of the galaxy? Or is it just another lackey of the heterogeneous invaders?

There is no doubt that if Shen Chao stood by and watched, even if her mother plane could defeat the Reaper, it would be a very tragic victory, and countless planets would be turned into white ground under the baptism of naval guns. Many small races may even be completely extinct. This would also be the "best-case-scenario"!

But even if he joined the expedition, Shen Chao did fulfill his promise, would the situation be so good? While she and countless others she cares about will have a good chance of survival, she herself is in danger of being ruined.

"Imagine a fleet equipped with a jump engine and equipped with the strongest offensive weapons and protective techniques collected from each plane, and even the Overlord Reaper can't stop it...... You want me to give you such a fleet, I can give you a better attention, you help me get the technology and sample ships that this fleet needs, I am responsible for integrating technical forces to build this dream invincible armada, and you can personally lead this fleet to counterattack back......" Shen Chao recounted the beautiful prospects one by one.

Hearing these beautiful prospects, Sister Xue was not confused. She knew that Shen Chao had deliberately said these words to her. But she heard something else in these words. She reacted suddenly. She realized that what she had been thinking about was actually what she would do to herself if she joined the expedition, not what would happen to the ordinary people of her plane.

As long as he can save countless beings in the galaxy, what if Shen Chao makes some excessive political demands, even if he is misunderstood or even ruined? and saving hundreds of millions of people. None of this is a big deal.

Figured it out. Sister Xue is no longer entangled in her own personal reputation. Instead, he looked at the whole thing from the perspective of a bystander. From the first time she met Shen Chao to the present, Shen Chao has been helping herself.

Even now, when recruiting herself, she has nothing to hide, putting all the opportunities and risks in front of her and letting her choose. Relocation of places. Sister Xue felt that she would not have done better.

"Needless to say, I'll join your expedition. Sister Xue interrupted Shen Chao's further persuasion attempt, and simply agreed to join the space-time expedition. After finishing speaking, he shook hands with Shen Chao. And just like that, the most legendary heroine of the Mass Effect universe joined the space-time expedition.

"When do I start working?" This is the first question after Sister Xue joined.

"It's up to you when you work, now you need to rest and come up with a way to keep your teammates silent......," Shen Chao explained to her teammates. Unlike Sister Xue, although the team brought by Sister Xue was politely received by the expedition team, they were all invited to the military base to receive them.

In other words, the group is still under house arrest. Shen Chao asked Todd to take in the "guests" before taking Sister Xue away, and then sealed off the base. But according to the intelligence gathering ability of Sister Xue's teammates, these people should already know their location by now.

If Sister Xue is going to take them back to the Mass Effect plane, then the secrecy here will inevitably face a big problem, at least the bunker plan will basically be completely abandoned. Not to mention that it will attract the attention of the Reaper early.

"No, I persuaded them to stay, you're right, it's more important to keep your council hidden at this stage. But you want to send more people with me, before I go to any other place, I will first go to the base that blew up the collectors......" Although she has just joined the expedition, Sister Xue has already begun to see the problem from the perspective of the expedition.

Of course, she actually sees things from her own perspective, but accepts her new identity. The teammates she brought with her were of all races and political tendencies, and it was a dream to keep them silent after returning to the Mass Effect plane.

Therefore, instead of remediating it after the fact, it is better to let everyone stay here for a while, and wait for her and Shen Chao to reach a consensus on the strategic situation and future planning of the Mass Effect Plane before talking about the return of the group.

The process went much smoother than Shen Chao expected, and Sister Xue ignored the opposition of the team after returning to her teammates, and forced everyone to stay here for a while. After settling their teammates, Sister Xue and Shen Chao also spent some time reviewing the previous heavy actions and benefits of the expedition.

After learning about the development process of the expedition, Sister Xue became more and more confident in her choice. Because she found that the current expedition team was developing extremely fast, when she first met Shen Chao, the space-time expedition team was still a very small team, with a total of less than 10 people.

And now, this organization has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of full members. And that's not counting the students who have already completed most of the exams. By the time these people have been put to the test, the expedition will have nearly a thousand full members.

Such a number of high-quality combat talents are very rare, not to mention that they are very well-equipped. Like all the other official members of the expedition, Sister Xue was given an armored version of the nanosuit.

After trying out this battle suit, Sister Xue finally understood why the expedition team dared to operate in so many planes at the same time. With the all-round protection of this combat suit, it is difficult for the wearer to die completely. And looking at Shen Chao's meaning, it seems that there is still a lot of room for development in this powerful combat suit.

In this way, under the leadership of Shen Chao, she spent a whole day familiarizing herself with the expedition's weapons, equipment, personnel, organizational mode, and the most important space-time gate network. After learning about the planes that the expedition had explored, she was relieved.

Although the Reaper is powerful, the plane that the expedition has visited has many forces or technical reserves that are similar to or more powerful than the Reaper. After sending Sister Xue away, Shen Chao still couldn't rest, and there were still countless people and things waiting for him outside.

That's the sadness of being the leader of a rapidly expanding organization, no matter how much you try to avoid it, there's always a lot of work to haunt you. Fortunately, he was not disgusted by the first group of people who came to the door.

After sending Sister Xue away, Shen Chao met with the representatives of the Theron people who had been waiting for a long time. Now the official representative of the Theron is Diane the No. 3 Theron at the time of the negotiation. She has been in charge of contacting the staff of the Space-Time Council for the past few days to settle her people.

However, the negotiations between the Theron and the Space-Time Council are not yet over, and although the two sides have temporarily shared common interests before coming under the threat of Number 1, there is still no consensus on some key issues.

Although the Space-Time Council recognized the Theron people as a branch of the human race, they still had some very strict requirements for the entire group of the Theron people, and if the Theron people here could not make a decision as a group, they might still be sent back to their dangerous mother plane by Shen Chao.

Obviously, none of the Theron people who have defected to the council now want to return to their mother plane to be beaten, so their representatives held a meeting with their own people after getting Shen Chao's official conditions, and after that, that is, now, they came to Shen Chao to talk about the conditions.

"Speaker, I beg you to reconsider your terms, it's hard for us to convince everyone to accept your terms......" Diane asked Shen Chao to revise his request not long after meeting Shen Chao, Shen Chao's current demands were too harsh for most Theron people.

When they faced the catastrophe before, they didn't have time to discuss Shen Chao's requirements in detail. But now most of the Theron have settled in an abandoned city off the coast of Australia, awaiting new arrangements. At this time, they all felt that some of Shen Chao's demands were very "intrusive" to them, and there was a potential sense of discrimination.

Nothing excites the Theron community more than discrimination from the human community, and if it weren't for the fact that the space-time fleet had boarded their warship and taken over the command before they came, some of them who felt insulted would have driven the battleship to Shen Chao to ask for an explanation.

The reason why they felt this feeling of being discriminated against was because although Shen Chao agreed in principle to let them join the human family under his rule, he had erected a high threshold for entry.

He gave the Theron two options, and only after choosing between the two options he gave would Theron be accepted into the Space-Time Council as equal citizens of the human world in this plane. (To be continued......)
