Volume V, 36: The First Priority of Diplomacy
When you enter this realm of the Protoss, the shocking effect will be even greater.
Not to mention those extremely stylized buildings and objects, under close observation, how deeply impressed Chen Xi and others, who had been transferred to the diplomatic group, as well as those Protoss people who gathered around, they saw the true faces of these people for the first time.
Unlike the Dark Templars, who were completely invisible and unable to see their true faces, they had finally established a clear and three-dimensional concept of this mysterious race.
These Protoss are very tall, most of them are more than two and a half meters, and a few are more than three meters, and they are surrounded on both sides of the road, which makes people feel very stressed, because in terms of height, they belong to the undoubted giants, and everyone must look up to them without wearing mechanical power armor.
In Chen Xi's words, it feels the same as Guo Xiaosi seeing Yao Ming, it is a bright sadness from the bottom of his heart, and he sighs that he is a son from the perspective of 45 eyes.
However, they are relatively slender in size, and there are few examples of obesity comparable to those of humans.
Don't think that this kind of phenomenon is insignificant, it only belongs to an attitude in life, you care more about beauty, and you like to lose weight. In fact, under the reminder of some researchers accompanying the team, Chen Xi and others realized that this was a very terrible fact.
The concept of obesity has gradually become popular with the development of civilization, and it will only appear in a relatively comfortable environment. On the contrary, it is a backward nation that is very backward in off-road, the less such concepts appear, and the dangerous environment they are in, so that their bodies must be in a perfect state at any time, so that they can escape when they encounter danger. If they are ignorant, they will not be able to see their existence at all, because the fat people are already dead.
The people of the United States must have a say in this, whether it is before or after the great change, the number of their fat people has always been high.
From the ship coming in and landing on the platform, encountering the welcome ceremony, and then following the guard of honor along the road into the central area. I didn't see a single fat man in the whole process. Know the way. The civilization of the Protoss is not lower than that of humans, and they are all at the level of being able to carry out interstellar voyages, so it stands to reason that there should be a lot of fat people, however. They haven't seen each other until now.
And it's not something like the people of the universe always like to do. In order to pretend. Always hide the bad side, you must know that except for a few specific cities, the rest of the country is rural.
"It is worthy of a fighting people who still have hunting habits. Judging from the figure of the national telephone poles, their folk customs are very fierce. ”
After learning the great significance behind this phenomenon, Chen Xi already knew how he should get along with these gods in the future.
That kind of euphemistic ink attitude is definitely not good, not to mention whether these gods can understand the deep meaning of the words, at least in terms of favorability, they will definitely lose a lot of points, and it is estimated that they have to drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat directly and boldly.
Don't underestimate the precautions in this regard, they now have diplomatic tasks, and respecting a nation's customs and concepts and integrating them into their daily interactions is the minimum standard for a diplomat's qualifications. Although these people are completely chasing ducks to the shelves, and almost all the diplomats who were prepared before have been controlled by the Zerg, and they have been killed without leaving any of them, but the quality they should have is still indispensable.
and so on to tell the others in the group about this matter in gesture language, and everyone changed the reserved attitude of being watched before and became active.
Brother Chen took the lead, and waved to the enthusiastic people of the Protoss around him with a smile, saying that he was not inferior because of the difference in height, so he ignored them, and now he was the self-confidence that a human being should have.
It's a pity that the effect is a little insufficient. When Chen Xi and the others walked by, some whispered discussions gradually became louder: "Are those human beings?" ”
"Looks so stupid X!"
"Wave your hand, is this their etiquette?"
"It's so short that even if you stretch out your hand, it will only reach my chest."
"These guys are here to ask us for help."
"I don't know if the road will put us in danger."
It turns out that both humans and alien races are members of the Appearance Association, and there is obvious discrimination against the existence of those who do not meet the height requirements.
However, in addition to these flaws, everyone was still very satisfied with this self-presentation, at least several of the Protoss receptionists in the honor guard also changed their previous silent attitude and introduced some things to them that should be paid attention to.
"Next we are going to lead to the Holy Hall, which is similar in meaning to your human council and religious buildings, so please be quiet and quiet, this is a sacred place, and you need to be quiet!"
See, that's the advantage of being proactive, and it's better to lose face at first than to make a real joke.
Chen Xi smiled and thanked a few people, and then turned his head to keep the appearance of these people in mind, those who dared to despise him would definitely have to pay the price.
After being watched like monkeys for a while, they finally arrived in front of the Holy Hall.
In front of them was a super-high base staircase made of crystal, about 300 meters, which set off the incomparably magnificent and towering Holy Hall, and it took a lot of effort for them to finally go up.
Then, the oncoming door is similar to the style here, it is all huge, and when you walk in, it is like a mouse entering the house, and you feel very small. The inside is spacious and bright, with huge columns and many skylights opening out to allow the light from the outside to shine in clearly, and the interior itself emits a golden glow, which is mixed together, which indeed fills the place with a sacred and quiet atmosphere, and the eyes are full of brilliant halos, and it is faintly impossible to see the whole picture.
In short, these arrangements are particularly high-end and high-grade, and they are not civilian at all.
"If it is destroyed, it will definitely be very exciting."
Chen Xi was thinking about what angle to blow up the building when a sound full of echoes appeared in everyone's ears.
"Welcome. Friends of humanity, on behalf of the Council of Light and Darkness, I am so pleased that you have come here at all great risk, as it proves that we all share the same common goal, which is to destroy those hateful pesky zergs. ”
Chen Xi walked in a little and looked closely, only to find that there were some other things in the hall with a halo of light, two curved long tables were arranged on both sides of the front in equal proportions, and on one side was a blue ball of light. On one side is a red ball of light. There are also two tall seats in the back, also with blue balls of light on one side and red balls of light on the other.
The sound was coming from the left, and it was supposed to be the blue orb of light talking.
Chen Xizhi, who had listened to Sylvis's introduction of some situations, said. This is the Protoss Archon. Theocracy, they are united. The owner holds the power over all things Protoss. Considering that their status came from their own strong strength, rather than inheritance or something like that, Chen Xi immediately knew that these people must not be easy to fool. You have to be sincere.
Putting away his low-hearted evil thoughts, Chen Xi respectfully bowed and said, "Hello Archons, I feel very honored to see you. ”
Then there are some unnutritious diplomatic rhetoric, saying that the people and leaders of the two sides have been looking forward to this meeting for a long time, and it is also the trend of the times, which is in line with the fundamental interests and future development direction of the two nations, because the purpose of the two sides is the same, and this cooperation and exchange is of great significance, which can open a new page in the history of both sides.
As for the actual content, of course, it will not be carried out here, and the things that are really agreed upon are all based on private exchanges and negotiations, and can be said on a formal occasion, which is already the most effective part of the result, and is only used to show a clear attitude of both parties and show it to others.
So after a conversation of hello and hello, when he left the Holy Hall, Chen Xi, as the head of the temporary diplomatic corps, got an invitation, probably in the evening, to attend the banquet of the dark archon Stampine, and specially named the two Sylvie sisters to accompany them as relevant personnel.
These two Dark Templars had already separated from Chen Xi and them when they disembarked from the ship, and if they thought it was right, they should have been summoned for questioning to get a more comprehensive and true understanding of some information that had been in contact with them. When I think of the reason for attending the banquet together, I am afraid that I am preparing to exchange some practical cooperation issues.
"Looks like I'm going to need to do something special about it."
Returning to the residence prepared for them by the Protoss, Chen Xi touched his chin and considered that his subordinates had already ordered everyone to buy some materials to use, and at the same time invited some people to discuss specific plans.
It was not for nothing that he was so cautious, because the original diplomatic group had been killed, and seeing that the matter had been revealed, in order to hinder the normal communication between the two races, some official documents and materials had been destroyed in advance by these insects, so Chen Xi was completely blind to the conditions and purposes of cooperation originally prepared by the Human Federation.
If you add to that the Human Federation, which treats them as rebels, it has completely implemented communication control, and no matter how it sends messages, it will not respond. Chen Xi knew that their group of people could only rely on themselves, and I was afraid that only by returning to the Human Federation with the results could they get the help of those in power.
"Boss, what are you going to do? These Protoss are very arrogant, and if we show cowardice, we will definitely be looked down upon by them. Totti worried. Almost everyone can see the attitude of these Protoss, not only the attitude of communication that requires recognition at the beginning, but also the various aspects they have seen on the road, once something goes wrong during the negotiation process, it will definitely have a great impact on the outcome.
"That's right, we're very short of professionals right now, and if we have a problem with our image from the beginning, those guys will definitely laugh at us." Said another young officer with a good background.
As the temporary image advisor of the diplomatic community, in order to make a perfect impression of the previous Protoss when they met for the first time, he deliberately made out the formal occasion attire of the federal high society and dressed them. It's a pity that I don't know if it's because of the difference in aesthetic concepts, or because he looks down on them as short people, the well-prepared costumes don't have much effect at all, which makes him more worried about the next image problem.
It didn't cause obvious repercussions before, and it can be said that the occasion was too formal to use something too maverick, but at the banquet, it will naturally be more casual, and if it can't bring about some kind of roaring effect, not to mention that it will inevitably have a bad impact on the result, at least the benefit is definitely not.
"Don't worry. I've got my own plans for this. Chen Xi said noncommittally, he is still more confident in this, after the cultivation of the noble and full of Zhuola, he has been gorgeously transformed into a high-end person in the fashion industry who was originally a silk in life, and he thinks that under his careful preparation, the whole group will definitely surprise those arrogant gods.
From some of the habits and dress characteristics of the Protoss, Chen Xi already knew what they preferred, that is, the style of strength and fierceness, and the previous officer gave them was too conservative to give people a feeling of brightness at all.
"Is it really okay?" The officer asked hesitantly. It's not that he doesn't believe Chen Xi. Facing an unfamiliar race, coupled with the background shown on Chen Xi's information, he doesn't look like a person who has the ability to solve this kind of problem at all.
Others reacted in the same way, not to be shorty. I can't feel the urgency to be a bright spot in the crowd. For what Gallic chicken can become the art center of the world. It is because they have a lot of short people, and if they want to beat others in the case of insufficient conditions, they don't need to spend some more effort on how to do it.
Look at the lack of faith of the people. Chen Xi knew that he couldn't do it without revealing a little material, so he said with a smile: "You should see that they are all wearing armor and carrying weapons when they look at us, is this the treatment of welcoming the diplomatic group in a normal concept, it is obvious that they are a nation that pays attention to practical experience, and they must be given something shocking." ”
Picking up the display device he brought over, Chen Xi wrote and drew on it, and in a few clicks, he got out the general style of a pair of armor.
This hand immediately stopped Totti and the others.
"Boss, I didn't expect you to be an artist." They said in a surprised tone.
"It's just a trick to deceive girls, and the real artist is the kind of person who can be called a work of art with a few pairs of underwear hanging on a tightrope, and I can't be a person." Chen Xi laughed at himself, he didn't think that these people were sincerely praised, the army didn't like literary and artistic youth, but preferred to force young people a little more.
When the colors were added and completely painted, a pair of scarlet armor with a mighty style appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"There's a real sense of fierceness." Totti and the others couldn't help but nod.
Chen Xi said in his heart This is of course, one of the hero skins that children who play LOL like to buy the most is Lu Bu's powerful image of a real man.
The form of this armor was taken from there, and he also changed it a bit, reducing some unnecessary and useless decorations, and then added some actual functional parts, such as his favorite sharp blades and ramming parts, which hurt wherever he touched. In addition, with the Spartan meat-selling style, some parts that can show the muscle contours are deliberately made into a hollow design, which is definitely a model of domineering side leakage.
After reading it, the officer praised with some admiration: "The chief is worthy of being a chief, although their civilization is high, but their artistic quality is not much, the armor is all rough, but the details are insufficient, this armor can definitely give those gods an alternative feeling, however, there are a lot of people who come this time, can the chief draw them all?" Or let only some people pass. ”
"Don't worry, this is on me, I have a lot of inspiration."
Chen Xiying's refreshment, as an anime lover, he has long wanted to open a large-scale cosplay showcase, this opportunity is just right, like what Gold Saint Seiya, Bronze Five Xiaoqiang, Demon God Altar Fighter, Space Knight, EVA, etc., as well as Kaba armor are all very good materials, even Iron Man is not bad.
However, his big killer is not this, but the style of Hong Kong comics, with muscle explosion flow.
"What is this, boss, are you going to turn into a chemist?"
After waiting for the people Chen Xi ordered to bring what they wanted, Totti and the others were surprised again. Except for the armor part, it is all contained in bottles and cans, including liquids and powders, which look like chemicals.
"Don't be surprised, these are the basic materials used in some cosmetics, and they are also learned by tricking girls, and I can use this time to make something to add effect to our appearance." Chen Xi explained with the reason that has been used all over again.
Fortunately, the substances of this world world are still similar to some concepts of the world world world that he is familiar with, otherwise he would not be able to find a substance with a similar effect, and through the memory comparison of the system instillation, he can make the desired effect. As for the reason for actually learning these things, that's a long story, let's not talk about it here, just need to know that for a competent criminal, chemistry is an important science that must be used to kill people on a home trip.
Like now, what he has to do is a very useful tool for the next action, a muscle wrap.
The high-end can be used for movie shooting effects, so that thin men also have a strong and powerful body, showing masculine charm, and the low-end can also be used for home selfies.
Therefore, after everything is ready, what appears in front of everyone is a group of macho men who are so many, everyone can directly select the standard of Mr. Bodybuilder, as for women, Chen Xi only plans to bring one, that is, An Yumo. Although it has no muscles, that hideous and terrifying set of fully enclosed armor can definitely achieve the effect of a town. (To be continued......)
