The Initiative

By the time fleets from other Star System arrive, the Nair People here will probably be completely wiped out. It's terrifying to think about; it's a shame we all wanted to destroy the human fleet and steal their technology.

However, Nair People were unaware of was that the human fleet's armor wasn't No. 1 Alloy Material, but rather No. 2 Alloy Material. If they had known, it's questionable whether they would have dared to launch such a preemptive strike. Of course, the humans, on the other hand, were unaware of the drastic change in the Nair People's underlying attitude, nor did they know that their Grand Governor's words were mostly bluff.

Oh, the main reason is that I didn't know that the Nair People of the Pot Lid Vastness Star wanted to kill me.

At this moment, Yue Yuan looked at the Nair People on the big screen and laughed, "What makes you say that, Your Grand Governor? How is our list outrageous? You should know that among Low-level Civilization, the value of 'Cold Nuclear Fusion fuel' as a general equivalent is a common understanding in the Milky Way Galaxy. How come it becomes unreasonable here?"

"Forgive my bluntness, Your Grand Governor, but we believe that the list you have drawn up is unreasonable. We have never seen a system that uses its own internal currency to value goods between civilizations. Even the renowned Milky Way Galaxy Axis Alliance would not dare to do so. Do you think that your currency is the universal currency of the Milky Way Galaxy?"

After saying this in a sincere yet somewhat doubtful tone, Yue Yuan frowned and his tone became more serious. "Also, not to criticize you, but the prices you set are really arbitrary. Don't you know what things in this Milky Way Galaxy are universally recognized as precious? Don't you know about the hierarchy of civilizations? Was the civilization you encountered before also an ignorant one?"

After three consecutive rhetorical questions, Yue Yuan's words had not yet stopped.

"It seems so. The one you encountered before was probably a Low-level Civilization. Hmm. That explains it. After all, without a certain opportunity, it would be difficult for a spacefaring-level civilization to know the information that advanced civilizations call cosmic common sense or Milky Way Galaxy common sense."

Although humans had already guessed that the Nair Civilization had never encountered any other civilizations, Yue Yuan did not expose them. Instead, he gave them a way out and even boasted about the 'Milky Way Galaxy Basic Common Sense Information' that was actually fabricated by humans themselves.

The purpose, of course, is to peddle the false information on the human list.

After a brief pause, Yue Yuan adopted a regretful expression and continued in a tone of deep remorse and emotion, "Your Grand Governor, to be honest, we are very disappointed. We thought that we would be treated with the respect due to us, coming with peace and sincerity, but we did not expect you to resort to force, which has truly chilled our hearts."

We have come from afar, across light-years, with the principle that meeting is fate, and with good intentions to conduct trade, exchange technologies, and jointly pursue the truth of the universe with you, yet you respond with such words.

"Well, since that's the case, let's forget about the trade. Since you're not sincere, we'll leave after we replenish our supplies and fuel! Of course, rest assured, we'll pay for the replenishment of mineral resources, various supplies, and fuel; we'll use one million doses of Version 1.0 Life Elixir as payment!"

"This potion can extend the lifespan of living beings by two hundred years. Although it is not the equivalent of Aerospace Civilization, it is something that all Group Technological Civilization dream of! Its value should be more than enough to pay for the fuel supply of our fleet."

After speaking, Yue Yuan even sighed dramatically, looking regretful, without caring whether the Nair People could understand him.

Yue Yuan's words immediately prompted the Nair People to mute their microphones and begin discussing the matter.

After a while, presumably after an internal discussion, their Grand Governor spoke again, saying, "Why is it like this? Why is it like this? Your Chief Commander, we are naturally providing you with supplies and fuel with the utmost sincerity. Of course, we are also very sincere in our trade and technological exchanges. There is no need for any doubt about this."

"Well, to be honest, we communicated with them based on 'Energy Units' back then. Perhaps we were deceived by that despicable civilization. They never mentioned to us what was most valuable among different civilizations. Instead, they bought a lot of plant and animal samples and Gene Map from us at low prices."

I see that your list lists some biological items at such high prices. Are biological resources really that valuable in the universe? If so, our ancestors might have truly been cheated in that transaction over two thousand years ago.

Seeing that the Nair civilization had already gotten on the good side, Yue Yuan chuckled inwardly. He didn't dwell on the Nair governor's earlier threatening remarks, nor did he continue with anything about not discussing trade. Instead, he picked up where the governor left off and replied:

"That's for sure, Your Grand Governor. Biological resources are incredibly precious in the universe, how could they be cheap! Fortunately, you encountered our Human Civilization, which is a very friendly, kind, and helpful civilization. Otherwise, if you encountered other civilizations in the future, you might have been deceived."

After a pause, Yue Yuan continued, "As for why biological resources are so valuable, it's because they are the resources for researching Life Elixir. To be honest, I shouldn't have said this, because it's also informational knowledge, and it's something that can be traded between civilizations. But seeing how badly you were deceived by that despicable civilization, we couldn't bear it, so we're giving you this message as a gift."

After using the excuse of being deceived by other civilizations to get away with it, the Grand Governor dropped the pretense and asked curiously, "Oh? Knowledge of information is also a tradable commodity?"

"Of course, didn't you see the information category on our list? It contains all this knowledge, as well as a map of the distribution of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy, an overview of their strength, a classification of civilization levels, basic principles of interaction Low-level Civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy, basic rules of interaction between high-level civilizations, and so on." Yue Yuan was already overjoyed, but his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ramble on without showing any emotion.

"This information was purchased by our Human Civilization's Cosmic Exploration Fleet at an extremely high price from an Interstellar Exchange under the Perseus Commonwealth. You think this information is expensive, but we think our asking price is too low!"

Keep in mind that the price of 130 million Transaction Points was already a discounted price. We previously encountered a Level 2 Civilization called Kun-Tai Civilization, and we sold that information to them for 200 million Transaction Points.

The reason we're offering you this price is twofold: first, we genuinely need your help to replenish our resources and energy here; second, we're doing this because you are a very friendly, kind, and civilized person.

After a series of half-truths and half-lies, the Nair People were indeed stunned. The Nair People Grand Governor was unsure of what to do, so he immediately muted his microphone and went to discuss the matter with the other Nair People in the Conference Room.
