Chapter 284: This Wave Must Rob the Rich to Aid the Poor 2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
So when the Divine Lord Civilization flipped the table and self-destructed, that was pure suicide, aimed at making other civilizations laugh at them.In such a situation…
The Divine Lord Civilization had already become nothing but bones in a tomb!
If the divine prodigy Ying Tian doesn’t abandon ship quickly, is he waiting to be buried along with them?
Even if the Fire Transmission Civilization doesn’t plan on destroying the Divine Lord Civilization completely but intends to assimilate most of its population over time…
Through measures like arranged marriages…
But damn it, he’s a divine prodigy!
In the ancient feudal era, when nations went to war, they even executed royalty.
If he stays with the Divine Lord Civilization, isn’t his death certain?
Realizing this,
The divine prodigy Ying Tian decisively surrendered, trying every possible way to clear his own name—
Even if Jiang Chen was joking, he too had to make that joke a reality!
Today is the day he goes from darkness to light!
“Good, it’s never too late to mend your ways,”
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
He wooed the divine prodigy Ying Tian on a whim.
After all, it didn’t require him to spend any resources. Gaining a worker for free was a win, and there was no loss even if it didn’t work out.
As for the past of the divine prodigy Ying Tian…
Honestly, he didn’t care.
It’s like when Jiang Chen asked the divine prodigy Ying Tian if he’d ever plundered fire—
He merely asked casually, and the answer didn’t really matter.
The divine prodigy Ying Tian was born in the Fire Plunder Civilization and was even a hopeful candidate; how could he not plunder fire now or in the future?
Even if he hadn’t successfully plundered fire, it wasn’t because he didn’t want to.
But because he couldn’t.
As he himself said, such matters were already beyond his personal ideology.
Even Jiang Chen, if born in the Fire Plunder Civilization and influenced by the corresponding education and environment from a young age, would naturally follow the same path.
Even now.
Divine prodigy Ying Tian’s decision to join Planet Blue Star’s civilization was only to preserve himself.
However, these were all trivial details.
After rebirth, he would just go through the foundational education again.
The crux of the matter was the blow to the prestige and spirit of the Divine Lord Civilization caused by the divine prodigy Ying Tian’s defection.
And…
Incidentally snatching some profit.
The helpful passerby who had explained the Purgatory level situation to Jiang Chen before had mentioned…
The Divine Lord Civilization had paid a considerable price to woo the Bluegreen Deity Civilization, aiming to suppress Jiang Chen of Planet Blue Star together…
How dare they use ill-gotten gains to put a bounty on me?
I must rob the rich to aid the poor!
“However, don’t be hasty about rebirth,”
“To prove that you truly have seen the error of your ways, and to also truly sever ties with the Divine Lord Civilization,”
“You’ll have to pay something,”
Jiang Chen conveyed through thoughts.
“Since the Divine Lord Civilization sent you to woo me…”
“Where’s the benefit?”
“You don’t intend to try to fleece me, do you?”
“…”
Huh?
The Divine Lord Civilization sends someone to woo you, and not only do you want to take that person with you, but you also want to grab even more benefits?
Or are you saying… you wooed me just to gain more benefits?
You’re the real fleece here!
The divine prodigy Ying Tian suddenly understood why the evil Fire Plunderers couldn’t defeat the virtuous Fire Transmitters.
“Leave it to me!”
…
Jiang Chen and the divine prodigy Ying Tian were engaged in telepathic communication.
It was exceedingly fast, and they quickly came to an arrangement.
To the watching Divine Lord Civilization mecha pilots, the two luminous beings paused for a moment, and then one transformed into a streak of light and left.
It had directly exited the Purgatory level and returned to the mortal world.
The divine prodigy Xue Luo was stunned and confused, rapidly conveying thoughts.
“Why did you just let him go?”
“Didn’t we agree that if he was dissatisfied with the Fire Plunderers, I would pretend to be a mecha pilot from the Fire Transmission Civilization and woo him?”
The divine prodigy Ying Tian responded.
“You’re no longer needed,”
“He’s a first generation of a newborn civilization. When we met last time, he didn’t understand the concept of a level 8 civilization, nor did he know how strong our Divine Lord Civilization was,”
“That’s why he killed me without hesitation…”
“Now that he’s arrived at the Purgatory level, he knows what a level 8 civilization means, and his attitude has softened, not as tough as before,”
“We just communicated a bit, and he clearly seemed somewhat tempted,”
“Direct wooing is possible.”
“Good!”
divine prodigy Xue Luo was delighted in his heart.
His impersonation of the Fire Transmitter was initially a backup plan.
This plan had its flaws; if it were to be seen through, all would be in vain.
If this Enigmatic Mecha Pilot was willing to embark on the path of Fire Plunder, that would be ideal.
He asked again.
“What about the BUG? Is it confirmed?”
“Yes!”
divine prodigy Ying Tian replied.
“He didn’t expect that we high-level civilizations possess the means of rebirth. I saw right through him, and he couldn’t hide it.”
“It’s this very BUG that’s got him thinking about us Fire Plunderers…”
“Heh heh, the path of Fire Plunder suits this BUG best and offers the highest profits.”
“He’s destined to become one of the Fire Plunderers!”
divine prodigy Ying Tian was extremely pleased.
He paused for a bit, then continued.
“However, his attitude has merely softened, and he still has reservations about Fire Plunder.”
“Moreover, he is the beacon of hope for his civilization. Once rebirth is complete, it will affect his own civilization…”
“…No matter, Divine Lord has already considered this point.”
divine prodigy Xue Luo said with a smile.
“We can offer a vast amount of resources so that after his rebirth, his civilization can prosper without further concern.”
“I will go back and report to Divine Lord right now, to seek resources!”
divine prodigy Ying Tian was very delighted.
“That’s wonderful!”
…
Planet Blue Star civilization, Star Base.
Jiang Chen’s consciousness returned to his body, and he reopened his eyes.
“Welcome back, sir.”
The environment at the Purgatory level was unique; it seemed as if only the soul journeyed there, separated from the body.
In reality, one could still use the functions of the Abyss Rune to trade with other mecha pilots or utilize materials.
Moreover, if one entered the [Endless Deathmatch Arena] unique to the Purgatory level,
one could temporarily forge a body with soul and summon one’s own mecha.
Thus, when Jiang Chen entered the Purgatory level, he had put Zero and Yun into the Abyss Rune.
Only Bai Ying was left in the real world, protecting his physical body.
“Thank you for your trouble, Bai Ying.”
Jiang Chen’s true combat strength was close to 10th Rank; he actually no longer needed Bai Ying’s protection.
However, he had only broken through recently, and Senior Ruan was not in a hurry to advance.
So, for the time being, she hadn’t come over to take Bai Ying back home yet.
In a little while…
she wouldn’t need to take her back at all.
“Later on, after communicating with the Legendary Shadow, I need to ask the traveling merchant to bring a few more rebirth qualifications.”
Jiang Chen wasn’t worried that the Rebirth Civilization’s traveling merchant couldn’t bring over the rebirth qualifications.
Because the exchange between him and that merchant wasn’t just between two individuals.
It was also an exchange between two civilizations—
Why did Jiang Chen only seek out the traveling merchant from the Rebirth Civilization instead of interacting with merchants from other civilizations to lure a few more?
The reason is simple.
It was the merchant who had first sought to entice Jiang Chen.
This implied the stance of the Rebirth Civilization:
If such an enticement were to be considered offensive, then what was the Rebirth Civilization doing taking the initiative to offend?
If Jiang Chen, having been offended, was peeved and retaliated by luring others, his response would naturally be justifiable.
As for the request to bring a large amount of resources to join forces…
When the Rebirth Civilization entices new mecha pilots, indeed, resources are not needed; they even provide resources—
But for a nascent civilization,
whether the top prospect cherished by an ancient civilization is more important, or some resources, surely goes without saying.
It’s all just reciprocal courtesy.
Jiang Chen was even well aware that the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant couldn’t possibly bring resources and sneak over without his civilization’s knowledge.
Once he confirmed his identity, he would definitely exchange information with his own civilization.
Therefore, Jiang Chen’s invitation was not just for the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant.
It was also, in a way, an offer of an olive branch to the Rebirth Civilization—
If the Rebirth Civilization could grasp his intentions,
it would naturally let this Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant bring resources over as a sign of goodwill and to curry favor.
“A truly ancient civilization wouldn’t fail to understand this nuance…”
“If they refuse, there’s only one possibility.”
“They simply don’t care about the resources of Planet Blue Star or its future.”
Luckily, Jiang Chen could also use this opportunity to test how much value an ancient civilization places on the miraculous resources produced by wonders.
It’s just a matter of speaking after all.
