Chapter 935 Collaboration And Sharing
Lu Ze asked, “Aunty Xunshuang, how did the discussion go yesterday?”.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang grinned. “The blade demon territory is mostly close to us. Its other borders are all void s.p.a.ce. However, the Pale Scale Race and Evil-Eyed Race aren’t too far away either. If we start taking over the territory, those two races would notice it.”
She continued, “They won’t simply watch as we s.n.a.t.c.h all that resources. They would want a share too.”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang cautioned, “Those two races are much stronger than the Blade Demon Race. With our current power, it would be foolish to challenge both of those races at once.”
She also remarked, “Moreover, there are other races within the proximity too, albeit slightly far away. Of course, they would surely ask for a portion.”
Lu Ze scratched his head. “Why is it so hard? Can’t the elders use their runes to scare them
off?”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang rolled her eyes. “The Pale Scale Race isn’t inferior. The same goes for other races. They will only be deterred if there is a real cosmic cloud state being.”
Nangong Jing said, “We need at least a year to break through to the cosmic cloud state… It would be way too late by then.”
Lu Ze and the girls understood their predicament.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang: “…”
A year to reach the cosmic cloud state from the cosmic system state.
Despite the rapid rate, they were still not satisfied.
What?!
However, she knew Nangong Jing was right. By then, the resources would be depleted already.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang smiled. “Don’t worry. Although there are a few races close to the blade demons, we humans have our allies too.”
Lu Li asked, “Aunty Xunshuang, are you talking about asking the Round Race, Barbarian Race, and Winged Race to aid us?”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang nodded and smiled. “The Barbarian Race and Winged Race are powerful cosmic system state races. With the Round Race as well, the other races would have to think twice whether they could bear to steal away resources.”
Alice frowned. “But we finally managed to kill the cosmic system states of the Blade Demon Race, and yet, we have to share the profits with the other three races. Isn’t this a huge loss instead?”
The others nodded.
The blade demon cosmic system states were all killed by humans after all.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang was taken aback. She rubbed Alice’s head. “You can’t think of it that way. If we want to take the resources of the Blade Demon Race for ourselves, we would need plenty of fleets to transport them. If other cosmic system states went to rob the fleets, how would we stop them? We only have a measly number of cosmic system states. We can’t protect all the fleets. In that case, we wouldn’t just be losing resources but also human soldiers.”
She added, “If the other three races joined us, we would have enough cosmic system states, and the matter of safety during transport would be greatly secured. This is a win-win situation.” Zuoqiu Xunshuang smiled. “There are too many races in the universe and some powerful races too. Unless it’s a race at the very top, which race wouldn’t have its own alliance? It’s very hard to develop while fighting alone. Collaboration is crucial, so we can all develop properly. Necessary sharing would only deepen the bonds in the alliance. This is actually good for us.” Lu Ze nodded.
They adhered to the same principle during the Earth Era too. Those who could share and organize resources often lived better in society.
Sometimes, giving was akin to sowing a seed of return.
Nangong Jing and the girls nodded.
Lu Ze smiled. “Aunty, what do you need us to do then?”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang patted Lu Ze’s shoulder. “You guys are strong enough to guard an area now. The elders want you to help in taking over the blade demon resource points and protecting the resource s.h.i.+ps.”
Lu Ze smiled and nodded. “No problem.”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang said, “Although we four races will be there, those races from the Demon Realm might not easily give up. If someone wants to s.n.a.t.c.h our resources… Then, break all their claws that dare reach for what is ours!”
Lu Ze nodded. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
If they really p.i.s.sed him off, he would use the summoning crystal and annihilate the entire population.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang said, “Okay, the elders are contacting the other three races. At the latest tomorrow, we will take off. Prepare yourselves.”
She looked at Ying Ying. “Ze, try to wake Ying Ying up as soon as possible.”
Lu Ze nodded.
Zuogiu Xunshuang glanced at the group and smiled. “Then, I’ll be going.” Of course, she could tell what happened between all of them.
The girls blushed but quickly glared at Lu Ze.
Lu Ze: “???”
What did he do this time…
At the door, Zuoqiu Xunshuang suddenly turned around and said, “You guys need to try harder though. The elders asked me to urge you to give birth to your children quickly.” Lu Ze: “!!!”
The girls: “!!!”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang teased, “Hehe, bye!”
She slammed the door and left.
The girls remained blus.h.i.+ng.
Lu Ze excused himself. “Um, I think I need to wash the dishes!”
He ran off immediately.
Lin Ling said, “I’m going to cultivate.”
“Me too.”
At the base of Shenwu Army, there was a s.p.a.cious room made of dark blue alloy covered with silver runes. There were four silver stands that looked very advanced.
The four elders were stepping on one stand, facing the other three.
Elder Nangong ordered, “Contact them.”
He waved a golden light, and a spirit force shot into the bottom of the stand.
The silver platform began to tremble as the silver runes flashed.
Gradually, all the silver runes lit up in the room.
They waited for a few minutes. Thereafter, three figures were projected on the other three stands.
They were the Barbarian Race, Winged Race, and Round Race.
When they looked at the four elders, they were taken aback for a moment.
The being from the Barbarian Race exclaimed, “Oh my Barbarian G.o.d! Old Lin? You’re still alive? I thought you were dead.”
The Winged Race was represented by a handsome purple-haired man. He gasped, “Brother Lin, you’re actually alive!”
He looked at Elder Nangong and the others. “Brother Nangong, you guys really know how to keep a secret.”
The representative of the Round Race agreed.
Elder Lin smiled. “Brother Dazhuang, Brother Marther, Brother Qiu Li, long time no see.”
Just when the other three races were about to catch up, Elder Nangong faked a cough. “Guys, let’s catch up later. We have some important things to announce.”
The three beings looked over curiously.
Man Dazhuang said, “Nangong, what is it that you need that you had to contact us three races? Is the insectoid tide very difficult to deal with on your side?”
Marther smiled. “How many individuals do you need? Our insectoid tide isn’t that serious. We are pretty much done clearing them.”
Qiu Li’s bouncy body jiggled as he smiled. “The same is true for us. We still have some spare individuals who can aid you.”
From their perspective, that could be the only reason why the Human Race would contact them urgently.
“???”
Elder Nangong’s mouth twitched.
These guys underestimated the humans too much!
How could the mere insectoid tide distress them?
He waved his hand.
“It’s no big deal. It’s just that we’ve killed all the cosmic system states of the Blade Demon Race. We’re planning to invite you guys to help us manage their resources.”
