Hearing that Ernest was coming, Xiao Ran also put down the child in his arms and saw the tall Ernest in the reception room of the manor. Ernest came here this time for the two skills that Xiao Ran was interested in and to give Xiao Ran an accurate answer.
When Xiao Ran walked into the reception room, he saw Ernest, who was twice as tall as a normal person, holding a normal-sized teacup between his two fingers and drinking tea. After seeing Xiao Ran, he quickly put down the teacup and stood up and saluted Xiao Ran with a military salute.
Xiao Ran has been coming to Laguna Planet for some time, and during this time, Ernest also used his own intelligence to learn more about Xiao Ran and the ship group located in the center of the galaxy from Torres. He also gradually understood how terrifying Xiao Ran's power and identity are.
At least according to what Ernest learned, Xiao Ran was the legendary figure who led a fleet to single-handedly suppress New Unified and forced New Unified's noble head underground. With astonishing power, New Unified has countless followers among all the forces in the galaxy. With just one sentence, New Unified's super boss can once again plunge the galaxy into turmoil and division. He is definitely the most senior figure standing at the top of the galaxy's power.
So when I saw Xiao Ran this time, Ernest felt far more nervous than the last time I saw Xiao Ran. But this nervousness was not fear, but purely caution when facing senior people. Plus, once again After receiving a warning from Gaius's senior management that he must maintain absolute respect for Xiao Ran, Ernest completely put away his casual look and faced Xiao Ran solemnly.
After seeing Ernest, Xiao Ran also felt the tension and caution in the other party's heart. He smiled peacefully and pressed his hand to signal the other party to sit down. Then he sat in front of Ernest and said, "I haven't seen you in a few days, Captain Ernest."
Ernest sat down and said cautiously, "Yes, I took the liberty to come here this time. I hope I didn't disturb Lord Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran said with a smile, "You seem very nervous. I think we should be considered friends. You wouldn't look at me with that weird look like you are looking up at the mountains. Ernest With your character, you shouldn't be such a person."
Ernest grinned. He suddenly felt that Xiao Ran was really charming. A simple sentence could make most of the tension in his heart disappear. He grinned and said, "Thank you Lord Xiao Ran regards me as a friend, but your identity Lord Xiao Ran has to make me treat you more carefully, and this time you come here not as a friend, but as a representative of Gaius."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I understand, but no matter what identity you come here, at least the person who comes here is you Ernest and not someone else. As for the deal I want to make with Gaius, I don't think it needs to be so formal at all, it's just a simple sentence."
Ernest actually didn't know that Xiao Ran had been using his own ability to soothe Ernest's nervous mood during the few words he had with him, but this ability was very important to Ernest was too mysterious, so he didn't feel how fast his emotions changed at all. He simply thought that Xiao Ran was full of a unique charm that could easily make people fall into peace and feel close to him.
Xiao Ran sat, took the initiative to pick up the teapot on the table and filled Ernest's cup with tea, and then said, "I feel like every time I see you, I'm telling you not to be nervous. I'm just a normal person with two hands and one leg. But this time I still tell you, relax, we don't have any direct affiliation."
"Yes, Lord Xiao Ran." Ernest grinned. After taking a sip of tea to calm down his mood, he said to Xiao Ran, "Lord Xiao Ran, regarding the two technologies you mentioned before, I received a reply today after reporting to the senior management, so I hurriedly came over to display them as soon as possible."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "You say."
Ernest's expression was a little embarrassed, and he seemed to feel a little sorry. Xiao Ran said, "As for the two technologies that Lord Xiao Ran is interested in, Transformation Technology and Bio-FOLD Detection Technology, the senior management is willing to hand over Transformation Technology to Lord Xiao Ran, but Bio-FOLD Wave Detection Technology They are not willing to give it to me. After all, this technology is one of the foundation technologies of Gaius. However, in order to express my apology to Lord Xiao Ran, Transformation Technology can give it to Lord Xiao Ran for free. I hope you can forgive me, Lord Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran's brows raised slightly. "Is it just Transformation Technology? It seems that I have done something embarrassing, haha."
After lightly smiling, Xiao Ran waved his hand indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter, Ernest, you don't have to blame yourself. Originally, this was the rude request I suddenly made. It is really too embarrassing to directly use money to buy a piece of technology that is the foundation of Gaius. It's great to get Transformation Technology."
"But, I don't think it's appropriate to get this technology for free. It always makes me feel like I am using my power to suppress others. So, after I get Transformation Technology, I will let my people evaluate this technology. At that time, I will also give Gaius a certain amount of compensation."
"It would be the best if Lord Xiao Ran can understand." Ernest smiled awkwardly and said to Xiao Ran, "Although I don't quite understand the senior management's approach, but under the current situation, if we can find more songs that suppress Berserk Syndrome patients In fact, it is a good thing, but as a member of Gaius, I have no way to judge whether the senior management's approach is right or wrong, but after all, Gaius is just a company, so if Lord Xiao Ran needs Gaius's assistance, you can feel free to contact us."
"It's okay, I understand. I won't be polite if I need your help." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Just because we can't reach an agreement once doesn't mean there's no possibility of continuing the talks. You can also ask Gaius's senior management if they have any requirements. Isn't that what negotiation is all about."
Ernest nodded. "I will ask them again when I go back."
Xiao Ran smiled, took a sip of tea and asked, "How is the selection of the goddess going now? Have you found a suitable candidate?"
"We haven't found any talents worth cultivating yet." Ernest also sighed lightly and said, "Although there are many people coming to participate in the selection, there are still too few people with the ability to influence FOLD Wave."
