(Chapter 14) The Deal with the Devil

Kos's body was thrown to the floor, still twitching, looking like a dying fish.

Although the other party's tone was still friendly, as a businessman who had traveled half the galaxy, how could Ramch not hear the deep meaning contained in it.

This is obviously killing lizards to show rats, a demonstration in disguise.

"Oh...... Of course...... I'm very satisfied......"

"That idiot completely deserves it......"

As he spoke, his paws kept rubbing to try to keep himself calm, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

Looking at the look that was about to be scared silly, Gu Fan, who was sitting at the conference table, felt very satisfied, this was exactly the effect he wanted.

As a merchant traveling between the universes, Gu Fan concluded that the long-haired mouse in front of him must know a lot of information that he was interested in, after all, intelligence mastery is the basic skill of a businessman.

It's a pity that he doesn't have memory retrieval or mental control equipment in his hand at this time, otherwise how would he need to use such primitive means.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to stuff it directly into the machine for gene extraction, for both parties.

"Don't feel inhibited, Mr. Ramch, just sit down and talk, there are some things I want to ask you about."

Looking at the rat man who was pestled there like a statue, Gu Fan raised his hand and motioned for the other party to sit opposite him.

......

......

Thanks to the previous episode, this somewhat special symposium went exceptionally well.

In the question and answer between the two sides, Ramch honestly explained everything he knew, almost without hesitation.

From his mouth, Gu Fan already had a preliminary understanding of the current galactic forces.

Today, the universe is controlled by a giant organization called the Galactic Community, in which four of the most powerful civilizations act as executors, and the Emma Empire, which recently invaded the solar system, is one of them.

At the same time, below this are seventy-seven major civilizations, and as for those primitive civilizations whose strength is not enough or even has not touched the galaxy, their number is almost incalculable.

Compared with the universe that Gu Fan once knew, the galaxy is obviously much more lively now.

To this day, relying on the mutual intervention of the four executive civilizations, this galaxy has not yet broken out in a major battle of the Apocalypse, and is generally under a very delicate balance.

Beyond the Galactic Community are the advanced civilizations known as the Lost Empire, and these mysterious and powerful forces have shown indifference to the current form of power in the universe.

For example, the observer who gave the pirates of Pyras a template for technology for an unknown purpose.

If nothing else, they may have a great connection with their fellow human beings, which is one of the targets that Gu Fan should pay special attention to at present.

Towards the end of the conversation, after hesitating again and again, Gu Fan finally raised the question in his heart to Ramchi in front of him.

"I want to know what you think of the human race."

"Humans?"

Hearing this, Ramch raised his head in confusion and stared at Gu Fan in front of him for a long time.

"That's a race that only exists in mythology...... According to some legends, they are the creators of the galaxy, and many of the races that have survived to this day have been created by them. ”

"However, in the religious doctrine of the Emma, humanity is described as a cruel oppressor, and it is said that they once enslaved the ancestors of the Emma and the vast majority of the races in the galaxy, and finally suffered divine punishment."

Divine Punishment ......

His words couldn't help but remind Gu Fan of the blight disease that once ravaged human society, but he obviously wouldn't believe in the so-called divine punishment.

After all, the strength of human beings comes from the worship of science and the courage to dare to face the unknown.

As for those strange religious heresies, Gu Fan has always held a sneering attitude.

At this moment, it seemed that he suddenly thought of something, and only looked at Gu Fan sideways towards Xuefeng on the side and whispered for a moment.

Immediately, the star map located on the bridge of the ship lit up.

"By the way, I don't know if you know the situation here."

As he spoke, he focused his gaze on the galaxy shown in the star chart.

- Centaur Alpha.

That's what I learned not long ago in the Longmen Factory, where the human migration fleet was temporarily stationed thousands of years ago.

Although Gu Fan had already conducted a detailed search of that star field before this, he still hoped that he could get some different information from the other party's mouth.

"Eighth Sector? There was nothing there, my ship had just passed through the last interstellar month, it was an empty void, and nothing of value existed. ”

Gu Fan was not surprised by such an answer, but was slightly disappointed.

"Thanks, I'd like to know enough."

Seeing that the conversation between the two sides was coming to an end, at this moment, Ram Moon, who was originally sitting in a chair, suddenly stood up.

"Mr. ......"

This alien movement attracted Gu Fan's attention, and at the same time, it also alerted the iron guards standing beside him, and the ion cannon on his shoulder was already aimed at him at this moment.

"If you can, the Ram Chamber of Commerce will be honored to enter into a long-term cooperation agreement with you......"

Ram, this is the name of the other race, in the tradition of the Ram, only those who have enough prestige can add the name of the race to their own name, and this is the origin of the name Ramch.

As a seasoned businessman, Ramch smelled great opportunity in the other party, even though he knew that in the other party's eyes, he and his own race were nothing more than ridiculous ants.

Asking for cooperation when the gap between the two is so huge is undoubtedly quite arrogant, and it may even anger the other party and bring disaster to yourself and your community.

But after carefully weighing the pros and cons behind this, and following his inner instincts, Ramch still made such a request.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't seem to resist his request, but seemed to be interested.

"I want to know what you and your Chamber of Commerce can bring to me."

At this moment, Ramch couldn't believe his ears, and then said the content of the Chamber of Commerce's cooperation with a little excitement like an endorsement.

"With enough affordable trade orders, and any information that can be made public, you will enjoy the highest priority service as a VIP customer of the entire merchant alliance......"

It seemed that the terms of these standards did not attract the attention of the other party's advanced civilization, and after a slight pause.

"In addition, the Chamber of Commerce can use personal connections to list you as a guest of honor on Soma IV."

Speaking of this, Ramch rubbed his hands with some excitement.

"It's the trade center of the entire Seventh Star Zone, and you can get almost everything you want there with your VIP status......"

"If nothing else, you should be able to get information about the observer from the planetary governor of Soma IV."

For his proposal, Gu Fan thought it was quite interesting, but he just listened to his words at random.

"So, what can you and your chamber of commerce get from me?"

Ramch was silent, but only for a moment......

"An opportunity ......"

"An opportunity to potentially change everything."

"In the depths of my instincts, a voice told me so."

As he spoke, a light flashed in his small eyes, and Gu Fan keenly caught it.

It was a madness in his eyes.

......

......

I don't know how long later, when Ramch was sent back to his kind, his cronies immediately surrounded him.

"What did those guys do to you?"

In the crowd of rats, Ramchi's face looked very solemn, and he only listened to his calm tone in the face of the concern of the clansmen.

"I may have made a deal with the devil......"

But after a moment's pause, he turned his gaze to the sky again.

"But I don't regret it."
