Chapter 1855: Chapter 580: Deal at the Gathering (6k)_4

"Lord Fanmao, I’m not sure why you’ve invited me here. Are we discussing a trade, or perhaps a deal with the Starstone Civilization?"

The three of them each took a seat on a sofa. Nianxin got straight to the point.

He had previously represented the Starstone Civilization at an old gathering where he proposed a trade to Fanmao—his origins were no secret.

If it’s about trade, he knew as a Seventh Rank, he had nothing that could interest an 8th Rank Transcendent. Any potential deal would involve his civilization, with no intention of concealment.

"Then, the floor is yours now. You know best what kind of cooperation you want."

Bai Yi fell silent after speaking, calmly observing the two.

She wasn’t suitable for such trade discussions, and was only here to act as a mediator, not to participate.

After witnessing the deal between the two, Bai Yi sought the next target. Not many of the high-tier extraordinaries present had trade qualifications, sparing too much expenditure of time.

Only after the last trader had left did Bai Yi sit upright again.

"How was it? Securing deals with five civilizations at once should be sufficient for the Heide Civilization.

Moreover, I just submitted a request to the Empire on Heide’s behalf to earn a fair opportunity, avoiding any drastic actions. The Insect Swarm will also be controlled."

Of course, the last demand was added on her own initiative.

The Three Great Civilizations couldn’t control the Insect Swarm, and even the so-called fair chance came at a small cost. The Empire wanted to resolve the Angel Mechanical issue quickly, which led to this condition.

For an 8th Rank, it was well worth it!

"That’s enough!" Meteor clenched his fist tightly.

"As agreed, once all these conditions are met, I will fulfill the commitment. Do we need to sign the contract now?"

"No need for that, the contract is already signed."

Meteor followed Fanmao’s gaze, noticing a metallic sculpture resembling scales on a small table beside him.

He initially thought it was merely a decorative item to enhance the negotiation atmosphere. But now, he sensed a contractual binding from it.

"Abnormal Object..."

Meteor couldn’t help but whisper.

"And the matter isn’t over yet.

I have secured protection from the Empire, ensuring no further pursuit against you and the Heide Civilization. But for some reason, that Quantum Ghost has taken an interest in you, and the Empire can’t intervene.

Right now, under my watch, the Quantum Ghost dare not move against you, though you can’t stay here indefinitely."

Meteor was paralyzed, recalling the recent battle.

While he had managed to escape, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t be killed next time.

"Don’t worry, since I’ve agreed to protect you, I’ll resolve this issue.

I’ll discreetly follow you later, and should the Quantum Ghost appear, I’ll handle it."

Incidentally, if given a chance, perhaps gaining two 8th Rank Transcendents...

Bai Yi silently added to herself.

Meteor had no reason to refuse this offer.

Half an hour later, after finishing the remaining intel exchange, Meteor boarded a spaceship to return to the Starry Sky.

Slightly glancing back, Meteor felt somewhat relieved.

Suddenly, Meteor became instantly alert, body tense. The next moment, the spaceship seemed to ram into something, abruptly halting its warp.

Boom—

After a moment of intense impact settled, Meteor looked up to see the virtual screen immediately reflecting the scene in front of the spaceship.

At the forefront of the warship, a large array of mechanical units was positioned like a fleet, and at the center of these units, a powerful magical reaction drew the attention of any Transcendent.

In Meteor’s mind, the target’s name immediately emerged

—Quantum Ghost!

It’s truly here!

Ghost Mechanism: Exclusive mechanical technology of "Quantum Ghost", constructing energy entities through special means, integrating them into the mechanical forces for combat functionality. However, this technology requires extremely high telekinesis levels and quantum communication technology, with no one yet having mastered it...
