MTL - The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons-Chapter 341 shocking discovery

  Chapter 341 Shocking discovery

  No one knows about the headquarters of the Laqim Interstellar Business Federation, only the branches of various sizes.

  The branch where Li Qing is now is considered upper-middle-class among them. In the past, it mainly served the Pan-Galactic Defense Alliance.

   Now that the Battle of Heaven broke out, the Pan-Galaxy Defense Alliance has been disbanded, but the branch has not been disbanded, and it is not even different from before, and it still serves the previous civilization.

   After all, although the alliance has been disbanded, those civilizations are still there.

After queuing for almost half an hour, Li Qing's battleship entered the wormhole, crossed the hyperspace channel and entered the galaxy. At a glance, he saw a super-large star city cluster not far from the hyperspace channel exit. There may be hundreds of them. The star city is composed.

  Behind Star City, there is a long string of grape-like space habitation stations.

  These space habitation station groups are used for warehouses, not for residences, and are specially used to store some goods that are not suitable for being placed in space.

  Transported through the star gate, came to somewhere inside the galaxy, and saw a huge living planet in the orbit of the star at a glance.

  This branch is based on a living planet, surrounded by densely packed star cities, super star cities, and from time to time, you can see a huge pioneer fortress, and several huge mobile battle stars.

  Although I haven't seen many military fleets nearby, I can be sure that there are, but they haven't stopped here.

   After all, it is an absolutely neutral commercial organization branch, and the military atmosphere will not be too strong.

  As a branch of a super commercial organization serving a large number of nearby civilizations, there is a huge amount of transactions and traffic at any time.

  Li Qing's battleship is unremarkable here.

  But when he registered his name and identity, he was recognized immediately, and then the interface flashed in front of his eyes, and a human in gorgeous alien costume appeared in front of him.

  At first, Li Qing thought it was just an ordinary human being specially used to entertain himself.

  But he knew he was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth. This is a genuine human player.

   "His Royal Highness Li Qing, I am Yuan Ming, Senior Director of the Eleventh Division of the Lachim Commercial Union. It is a great honor to meet you here!"

   "I heard that you were recruited by Feonuo's revived empire to participate in the battle of heaven. I always thought you were fighting in the northern theater, but I didn't expect to see you here."

  Li Qing smiled and waved his hands:

   "It's just a rotation. I heard that the Laqim Commercial Union has a branch here. Come and have a look."

   "It's not a coincidence that you came here. The annual auction of the Commercial Union Branch ended only two months ago. If you want to participate, you have to wait another ten months."

   "I'm just here for a walk, not to participate in the auction."

   "I will arrange a guide for you, and from now on, you only need half of the handling fee when you trade in any branch of this business alliance. If you trade in the chamber of commerce directly under this business alliance, you can get a 10% discount."

  Li Qing was surprised and said:

   "Do you have this permission?"

  Yuan Ming smiled and said:

"Of course I don't have such great authority, but your status is extraordinary. Even if you come here for the first time, no matter where you go to any branch of this business union, you can get this discount. And with your status as Star Sea Lord and Immortal, yes VIPs who are directly included in the highest level of this business union are eligible to participate in the pan-galactic super trade fair held once every thousand years by this chamber of commerce."

   "By the way, the next Pan-Galaxy Super Trade Fair will be reported in eight years. His Highness Li Qing can pay attention to it. It is best to participate at that time, and you may encounter some good things."

   "Pan Galaxy Super Fair."

This Li Qing knows that the Lachim Interstellar Business Union is a trading event of the highest level. It is said that the auction with a complete set of pioneer databases of dark matter technology appeared in a certain trading event nearly a million years ago. .

   Now Li Qing became interested.

   It is unlikely that there will be a pioneer database. Laqim’s interstellar business alliance is powerful, and the super business event once in a thousand years will definitely have good things that he needs even at this time.

  But eight years is still a bit far away.

  He just nodded and took it down, then turned his head and left it behind, and began to browse the shops of the various chambers of commerce in the branch to see if there was anything that interested him.

  Based on Li Qing's current strength and the resources he has, basically nothing can catch his eyes.

   Except for blueprints that move Battlestar and Warmoon, or higher level goodies.

Even the coveted giant ships such as the Mobile Fortress and the Titan Super Banner were designed in large numbers at this time because of the birth of a large number of star bearers and servants of light. Now he himself does not lack these, but he lacks time .

  The Lachim Business Union itself is composed of a large number of super business giants, each of which has its own Star City as its own store.

  But you don’t need to go there in person, you can check the sales information in all shops online.

  Li Qing glanced around, and glanced at the products that he longed for a long time ago, but now he has no feeling, feeling a little dull.

   After watching it for almost two hours, I only got two War Moon blueprints.

  He didn't read it at all, but contacted Yuan Ming again.

   "His Royal Highness Li Qing, are these products not satisfying you?"

  Li Qing was not polite, and asked directly:

   "Do you have a mobile battle star blueprint here, and do you have civilization points and destiny points for sale?"

  Yuan Ming replied immediately:

   "Of course there are, and some of them will be put on the shelves for sale every month, but these few products are so popular that they are often taken down as soon as they are put on the shelves."

   Speaking of this, Yuan Ming suddenly said in a low voice:

"His Royal Highness Li Qing, these things have the greatest effect on players. We have a large number of military lords or lord representatives from major player civilizations standing guard in each branch of our Lachim Commercial Union. As long as there are these transactions, they will be snapped by them immediately. Take it, under normal circumstances, you can’t buy it a hundred times, unless you also leave some people to guard it.”

   "Of course, you can also participate in the annual auctions of each branch. There will be a large number of civilization points and a small amount of destiny points for auction. At this time, the highest bidder will get the chance to get it."

   Li Qing guessed this point now, and didn't say anything, just asked again:

   "At each auction, how many civilization points and destiny points are sold?"

  Yuan Ming replied immediately:

   "I can't tell. Generally, the civilization point will be more than 1,000, and the destiny point will be at least a little. When there are more, there will be two or three points."

"Well"

   Much less than Li Qing imagined.

  However, if you think about it carefully, it’s quite a lot. After all, there are more than a dozen branches to be assigned every year, which adds up to quite a lot.

   "Can you place an order in advance for the Civilization Points and Destiny Points in your business union? I want to order a batch."

  Yuan Ming shook his head and said:

   "Sorry, the Chamber of Commerce does not accept orders for these two items."

   "Well, that's fine."

  Li Qing was a little bit depressed, and instantly felt that this chamber of commerce was not interesting to visit.

  Waved his hands and was about to leave when Yuan Ming suddenly said:

   "His Royal Highness Li Qing, if you want a lot of civilization points and fate points, there is a chance."

"what chance."

  "The headquarters of the business union has a special mission released all year round since ten years ago. Anyone can take it. You can take a look and pick one or two from it. After completing it, you can get a lot of civilization points or destiny points."

"Um?"

   Li Qing became interested and said:

   "Tell me to see."

  Yuan Ming immediately said:

"I don't know about the mission, I'm not qualified to read it, I'm only responsible for the introduction, and according to the regulations, only Star Marine Lord and above are eligible to receive this mission, and before viewing the mission, you need to swear to the will of the universe with your own personality, Promise not to disclose to anyone what you see."

   "???"

   Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately became alert.

  What task still needs to be kept so secret?

  He pondered for a while, but didn't answer for a while.

  Yuan Ming didn't speak either, waiting for him to think.

   Li Qing instinctively felt that there was some bad secret in it, but curiosity killed the cat, the stronger the strength, the higher the curiosity.

  He thought for a while, nodded and said:

   "Yes, I can swear, I am Li Qingyi"

"Wait a moment."

  Yuan Ming interrupted him:

   "Wait a minute, wait until the head of this branch comes over. I'm just a supervisor, but I'm not qualified to issue tasks."

  Hearing this, Li Qing became more interested.

In less than half a minute, the Yuanming projection disappeared and turned into a shape. It looked like a human, but taller and stronger than a human. The exposed skin was pale, and the facial expression was almost the same as that of a human. The only difference was that its ears were very Long, with small horns on top of its head and a thick long tail behind its back, a humanoid creature appeared in front of him.

  He first bowed to Li Qing and said in a magnetic voice:

   "It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness Li Qing from human civilization. I am the head of the eleventh branch of the Laqim Interstellar Business Federation in the Milky Way. You can call me Qim Eleven!"

  Li Qing also returned a salute:

   "Human civilization, Li Qing, it's an honor to meet Your Excellency Qim!"

   At this time, it was beyond his expectation, and the unknown humanoid alien suddenly said to him seriously:

   "It's Kim Eleven!"

  Li Qing was a little stunned, but immediately called the opposite person Qim Eleven again, and the face of this kind of person eased, and continued:

   "I heard that His Royal Highness Li Qing wants to accept the mission of this business joint headquarters. The rules should already be known. Here is a sample essay. You can swear to the will of the universe later."

   As he spoke, an attachment popped up in front of Li Qing, and when he opened it, he found a very simple-looking paper page with an oath on it.

  When Li Qing saw this simple paper page and the oath, Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

   Then it took less than a minute to read the oath, and Li Qing's expression became a little strange.

  Looked up at Chim Eleven, Li Qing shook his head and said:

   "I'm sorry, I can't do these tasks."

  The oath is simple, or this oath already includes the content of the transaction. The Lachim Business Federation divides the tasks from the headquarters into three levels. Each level has different rewards and corresponds to three different behaviors.

  The lowest first-class task requires sacrificing the immortal soul and will of an immortal. Each sacrifice will reward 10 destiny points, and there is no upper limit.

  The second level of missions requires sacrifice of a minimum level 5 conventional civilization, which can be sacrificed after plundering all the resources of the civilization and destiny points of civilization points, which means that it will not affect your income after defeating this civilization.

  Each sacrifice of a will of civilization will reward 100 destiny points and a mysterious gift.

   The third class, which is the highest level task, is to sacrifice a complete high-level civilization. It can also be sacrificed after plundering all the resources of the civilization and the destiny points of the civilization.

   Sacrifice the will of a higher civilization, reward 1000 destiny points, and a mysterious gift beyond imagination.

   At the end of the three missions, there is an oath, swearing to the will of the universe that these three missions will never be disclosed to any outsiders in any form.

  What surprised Li Qing was that the standard of this oath was very high.

   It's not the kind of oath you can't say after you swear, as ordinary people imagine, but you can't say anything about these three tasks after you swear.

  Cannot speak at the rule level, that is, even if you say it, others can't hear it. They can only see your mouth moving, but they can't hear what you said.

  Including writing, entering into chips, etc. in any form.

   Now that Li Qing has seen the content of the mission, he has to swear whether he is willing to accept the mission or not.

But in fact, these tasks are not very difficult for him. It is not difficult to hunt down the next immortals with his strength. There are many immortals who have joined Ada's mentor camp in the battle of heaven. Be diligent and careful to hunt ten immortals. More than one is not difficult.

  The second-class task is not difficult, and he can still do it with his strength.

  Even the highest third-level tasks can be done. If he shows all his hole cards and puts all his eggs in one basket, he can destroy any high-level civilization.

  Although there is an extremely long cooldown period afterwards, this feat was indeed accomplished.

  Thinking about the temptation of third-class missions, I didn’t know about the mysterious gift before it was opened, but the one thousand Mandate Points were worth the fare, and Li Qing was also moved.

but

  Seeing the delicate lines on the plain paper at the bottom of the oath, and a strange imprint under the oath, Li Qing felt a turmoil in his heart, and he didn't dare to take these three tasks at all.

  For those who don’t understand, this is just an ancient paper with a beautiful pattern and a normal task document plus oath.

  But for Li Qing, who inherited part of the ancient necromancy's civilized memory, he could understand the true meaning of this task document and oath.

  Let’s put it this way, what ordinary people think is just the task introduction and the oath written in different civilizations on paper.

  But to Li Qing, he still recognized that the seemingly exquisite and mysterious lines on the quaint paper were actually written by a civilization that horrified him.

   That is to say, in addition to the normal writing, the real mission document also includes some additional conditions for writing in a certain civilization represented by the exquisite mysterious lines. The combination of the two is the real mission document.

   And this mysterious civilization that few people in this river system know about happens to be Li Qing, who also knows what this additional condition means.

  In layman's terms, no matter you accept any of the three missions, the additional conditions written in mysterious characters will take effect.

   And the translation of this additional condition is very simple—

  As long as you receive the task, you must go to a corner of the galaxy within the agreed time to jointly open an ancient super star gate.
