If Hong Dali’s planet had really entered the era of high-energy electronics, then it would be almost impossible to colonize them. High-energy electronic weapons were enough to cause some serious damage to their space carriers. Even if they had just entered the era of high-energy electronics, it would not be easy to defeat them.
“Interstellar travel? Not yet.” Hong Dali scratched his head. “That will have to wait a while.”
The Bureau Chief wanted to strangle the brat—couldn’t he just lie? He just had to say that we were already able to do interstellar travel, let the aliens have something to worry about!
“Oh…” Deca answered absent-mindedly before he thought to himself, “It seems that their high-energy electronic power is not widely used yet. So they should be somewhere between a Level Four and Level Five civilization? Well, in that case, we will not consider colonizing them. We can still rely on force to gain the upper hand in trade.
As he was thinking about it, Hong Dali’s next words sent him spiraling into depression.
Hong Dali said, “But my Small High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine is almost ready. When it’s ready I will try out my mecha, see if it’s fun! I heard that one shot can destroy a planetary system!”
Damn it!
A weapon capable of destroying a planetary system? Even if he was boasting, that was too much, wasn’t it?
However, based on what he knew of Hong Dali’s character, he was not one who was prone to boasting. In that case, the mecha that he was talking about, was it for real?
The Bureau Chief was stunned too.
The mecha that Hong Dali was talking about, was it Granzon that was standing in the stadium of Carrier Big Fish? Could it really destroy an entire planetary system?
“That, Dali, what you are saying, is it true?” Deca asked cautiously, “That’s impossible, isn’t it? I think high-energy electronic power cannot do that much damage yet?” The most powerful high-energy electron-powered particle gun could only shoot through an asteroid that was about one hundred kilometers in diameter. Hong Dali actually said that his weapon could destroy a planetary system? How could it be?
“Ah, it’s just theoretical.” Hong Dali smiled and said, “Anyway, it’s still not possible now, but I guess it should not be a problem to destroy a starship.”
Deca almost choked when he heard that. He must have done that deliberately, right? It must be intentional!
After hearing that, Deca stopped talking—anyway, if Hong Dali was able to talk about high-energy electronics, if they had not reached Level Five yet, they should be well on the way there. It seemed that he really had to tread carefully. If he acted rashly, they would suffer big losses!
The group walked for about another five minutes or so. Suddenly, there was a hearty laugh from ahead. “Haha, refreshing, refreshing, that was a good fight!”
When they heard the voice, everyone quickly turned to look. Not far from them was a large group of about a dozen people in a circle about twenty meters in diameter. There were more than a dozen people watching the battle there. In the circle were two people fighting against each other!
One was about two meters tall and had a muscular body. He held a branch that was as thick as the width of a bowl. He stood in a menacing manner inside the circle.
The other person was a man about 1.9 meters tall. He held a big sword. It was the Glorious Greatsword that Deca had shown Hong Dali previously.
There was a ring fight in progress. It was something that was not commonly seen in real life. Hong Dali and the others were immediately attracted. Hong Dali exclaimed, “Wow! There are actually people fighting. Lackeys, quickly go see!” Well, the penchant the Heavenly State people had for crowding around excitement came in useful. When they heard what Hong Dali said, all the lackeys got excited and rushed up to take a look.
The Bureau Chief, however, frowned and suddenly pulled Li Yang back. He whispered a few words in his ear. Li Yang nodded before quietly returning along the road they had come by. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
As Hong Dali and the others approached, Deca entered the crowd. Almost immediately, a middle-aged man who seemed to be about forty or fifty years old approached them. When he saw Hong Dali, he nodded and smiled. “Well, you are Hong Dali? Hello, my name is Graham, I’m Deca’s father. Deca mentioned you. We were a little bored today, so we came in to have a look, and have some exercise. Ah, this world is really not bad.” Although he was smiling, his voice was dull. He did not show any enthusiasm or warmth. Obviously, he did not show any direct hostility either.
“Ah. Hello, Uncle Graham!” Deca’s father, Graham, was expressionless, but Hong Dali could not behave the same way. He smiled and said, “I had a lot of fun the last time I played with Deca. This time, once I came in, I called him over. Uncle Graham, I am really flattered that you are here!”
“Well, it’s fine. Deca told me about it.” Graham responded before he sat down on a large stone. He said, “You’ve just entered this world? Well, there’s no hurry to show you this world. Come, come, have a seat. See my men, they are bored and have come here for some exercise.
“It’s best if there’s a fight,” Hong Dali said with a dazzling smile. He called out to everyone around him. “Everyone, find a place to sit, hehe.”
When everyone was seated, Graham glanced at Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei, who were with Hong Dali. He said in surprise, “These two girls are really beautiful, they are considered beautiful even in the Galaxy Alliance.”
The Galaxy Alliance, hehe, there really was a Galaxy Alliance in the Galaxy.
“They are okay, hehe.” Hong Dali smiled. “Uncle Graham, you flatter them!” Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei were blushing. They were women, after all. Even if they knew that the people on the other side were not friendly and could even be hostile, they were happy to be praised.
“Hehe, I’m not flattering them. The two women are indeed first-class beauties.” Graham glanced around the circle and looked at the six female lackeys. He asked, “Your other female friends are also very beautiful. Are all your women so beautiful?”
This was not a time to smear Earth’s reputation. Hong Dali nodded decisively. “Yes. We have many beauties, hehe.”
“Not bad, not bad.” Graham nodded and didn’t say anything else.
By then, everyone on Graham’s side had already noticed the women with Hong Dali. All of them wore lovelorn expressions. Hong Dali had a very diabolic taste. All the women he chose, from Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, to Ling Xiaoyi, and the female lackeys, were all beauties. Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei were the cream of the crop and none of them were inferior to Shelley and Susan.
Now that there were beautiful women visiting, Graham’s wolves became more enthusiastic. The two who were fighting before started to fight even more seriously!
Judging from the way they fought, each move extremely powerful, any one of them was probably much more powerful than Li Yang and the others.
As they watched the fight, Graham explained to Hong Dali, “The two men who are fighting now, the one who is using the trunk as a weapon is called Asquith. His arm is very powerful. His moves are sweeping and board, very mighty. The shorter one is called Brenty. He is a great swordsman with exquisite swordsmanship and skill.”
At this point in the introduction, Asquith, holding the trunk, was rampaging. Each attack of the trunk was accompanied by a rumble of wind, it was powerful! Brenty held a Glorious Greatsword and was on the receiving end of the attacks. His defense was deft. The two of them were fighting neck to neck, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
“Uncle Graham,” Hong Dali asked while watching the fight. “You mentioned the Galaxy Alliance just now, so I guess you’re not from our planet?” Anyway, the other party had already made their identity clear, Hong Dali had no need to hold back. He asked directly, “What planet are you from? What about the two people who are fighting?”
This was a big question. Now that they were ready to connect with the universe, they had to obtain as much information as possible.
“We are traders from the planet Adamu, we make money from trading in the universe.” Graham did not hide anything. He gave a brief introduction of everything to Hong Dali. “The technological level of our planet is relatively high, and we have been in the Galaxy Alliance for a long time. The warrior holding the tree trunk is Asquith. He is a barbarian warrior from another planet, Planet Quinn. There is an exceptional fighting race in the Galaxy Alliance. Their race is strongly built. In the Galactic Alliance, only the Great Dragon people of the Red Dragon planet and the Great Croc people of planet Beta are a match for them. When I first saw him, he was being sold as a slave. The selling price was a thousand galaxy dollars. I thought it was a reasonable amount, so I bought him.” He then pointed at the great swordsman, Brenty. “Brenty is a human swordsman on another planet of the Galaxy Alliance. He has good martial arts skills, but his disadvantage is that his strength is lower.”
The amount of information that could be gathered from his remarks was substantial. The Bureau Chief secretly counted. There was Graham’s own planet Adamu, Asquith’s and the barbarian race’s home planet Quinn, the Great Dragon people of the Red Dragon Star, the Giant Croc people of Beta, as well as the human swordsman of the planet Galleon. Without taking into account the rest of the universe and just considering the planets and races in the Milky Way, he could not be sure if it was a good idea or not.
The advantage would be that the universe had much more to offer than Earth. The disadvantage would be that Earth would have many more challenges to deal with in the future.
Hong Dali obviously would not care about those.
He did not remember the other miscellaneous planets at all. He just said with a smile, “Uncle Graham, it seems that you have all kinds of people in your fleet!”
“So-so.” Gram gave a token show of humility and then smiled. “Well, look, Asquith is going to do his special move!”
