Hao Ren went over the entire process in his mind. Although there seemed to be no logical problems, he still felt a little uneasy. "So... will this really work?"
"It'll be fine," the Data Terminal buzzed beside Hao Ren's ear. "Every step falls within the limits of the regulations. And to be honest, the Erem Elves' current situation already more or less meets the standards for 'Civilization Preservation.'
