Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 628: Sending a Wife to Lord Insect God?
In fact, this frenzy was primarily targeted at the Beastmen.
Other humans were unaffected.
On the Insectoid Planet base, over eighty percent were Insectoids, with the rest being pure humans, Plantmen, and only a small percentage being Beastmen.
Therefore, there was no need for even Xi Le from the Insectoid side to attend this meeting.
And now, that mysterious Insect God is coming?
Ji Rui looked up, "It’s good that he’s coming. We can take this opportunity to test the waters, to see if his relationship with Landis Star is truly solid. If there’s a rift between them, it might just be the perfect time to break up their alliance!"
For many years, they dared not act rashly and could only engage in small, clandestine operations due to the daunting alliance between the two planets.
Confronting one alone was already deemed risky.
Not to mention, these two planets had united.
After exchanging glances, they all agreed this was indeed an opportune moment. Odlande suddenly smiled, "I wonder how old Lord Insect God is this year, and whether he’s taken a wife. Otherwise, we might offer him a bride."
The candidates they had chosen were actually high-born ladies from noble families on their own planet.
These noble ladies were willing to cooperate with them, scheming against Gu Chen.
After all, if they were successful, one of them might have the chance to become the Empress of Landis Star!
As for the Insect God...
Ji Rui shook his head, "Insectoids have a peculiar attitude towards emotions, based on the few I’ve encountered, ranging from extremely devoted to very promiscuous. Not sure which type the Insect God falls under. However, there has been no news over the years of any woman by his side."
"Let’s be more cautious with this, not too rash. Insectoids are different from us Beastmen."
"Hmm."
The meeting among these individuals was temporarily concluded.
And nearly all the leaders of various planets were arriving at Four Seasons Star, one after another.
Four Seasons Star was a neutral planet where conflicts were forbidden for anyone, making it a peaceful zone within the universe.
The meeting venue was arranged here.
After all, these were high-status world leaders, and there were unresolved issues between some of them, despite decades passing.
To avoid potential conflicts, the meeting was set on this planet.
Four Seasons Star was as pleasant as its name suggested, with a climate quite similar to Ancient Earth, but since the planet was not rich in resources, it was spared the struggle for control.
It had thus become a tourist destination.
It was also an exceptionally rare peaceful planet.
As Gu Chen’s spaceship landed, he was chatting with his sister, Gu Yan.
Gu Yan, "I heard Four Seasons Star has beautiful scenery. If I had known, I would have come with you to sightsee."
Gu Chen smiled helplessly, "Next time, perhaps. The personnel here are too complex now, and it’s not safe."
Gu Yan, "Big brother, you’re really okay, aren’t you?"
Gu Chen, "Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. And during this time, you should be careful too, don’t walk around alone outside."
Gu Yan: "Alright, alright, I get it. I won’t keep you then, I’m off to the library with Vivian."
When he heard that name, Gu Chen’s gaze briefly paused, and then he said, "Okay, go ahead."
Soon, the leaders of various planets arrived, and the conference started on time. However, the issue of the Beastmen’s Manic-Depressive Period’s violent episodes had yet to be solved by any planet.
The best solution, like the one Landis Star had come up with, was the creation of a more effective, exclusive medicine; but it only served to contain the episodes.
Of course, there were other planets that had also developed temporary suppressants. No planet was willing to hand over the exclusive medication they had worked hard to develop.
However, that did not rule out the possibility of trade.
This was the first issue. The second issue was the current problem of the universe’s food environment.
Ji Rui looked at Gu Chen with a face that was young yet steady and deliberately spoke up, "As everyone is aware, Landis Star has its own exclusive areas for cultivating fruits and vegetables, which have been shrouded in secrecy for many years. Now, the cultivation of ordinary fruits and vegetables on our other planets is difficult. I wonder if Landis Star would be willing to share their experience with everyone?"
All eyes turned to look in their direction.
Although now it was possible to produce a variety of flavors in nutrient-rich supplements, all the upper-class nobles still preferred to eat traditional dishes.
But in recent years, the universe’s environmental changes were too rapid, and many vegetables and fruits could no longer survive. The cost of artificially creating greenhouses was too high, and for some reason, the fruits and vegetables always failed to thrive.
All eyes were now on Gu Chen, as the Insect God sat in the easternmost seat, slightly lifting his eyelids, curious to see how Gu Chen would respond.
Because, while others might not be aware, the Insect God well knew that the Virtual City on Landis Star, used as the base for cultivating fruits and vegetables, was owned by Su Wan and Gu Yan.
If this information were to be divulged, it would pose a great danger to Su Wan and Gu Yan.
Especially to Gu Yan.
Gu Chen looked calmly at the inquisitive Ji Rui. "I’ve heard that your Ice Blue Star produces a highly efficient gas energy source. Would you be willing to share this source of energy with the rest of the planets?"
Ji Rui’s expression froze.
The gaze of others shifted towards him.
Of course, everyone was more interested in a high-efficiency, scarce energy source than fresh fruits and vegetables.
This time, it was Ji Rui’s turn to face the thorny question.
Some political matters are like this; at first glance, everyone seems to be smiling, appearing very peaceful, not needing to resort to Photon Cannons and Mechas.
But in reality, there are still blades and shadows lurking within every word.
Gu Chen easily parried all the probing and exclusion, and when he looked up, he found the Insect God watching him.
The other party nodded and then shifted his gaze away.
Gu Chen had actually met the Insect God many times, but strangely, the latter’s features seemed to be shrouded in a fog, or rather, they appeared different every time he saw them.
Sometimes, Gu Chen felt very familiar with the Insect God, but at other times, he felt very distant.
A very peculiar feeling.
People had discussed in private, believing that the Insect God probably did not have a definitive form. Some even said that he might not even be an ordinary Insectoid.
But one thing Gu Chen could be certain of was that this person bore no malice towards him or towards Landis Star.
The first day of the conference naturally concluded without any results, but as the host, Four Seasons Star naturally had to entertain the distinguished guests, so a banquet was held.
Gu Chen knew that those who wanted to make a move would likely start acting now!
