At this moment.
In the Federation office.
Behind Minister Ou sat several high-ranking officials of the Federation. All of them had solemn expressions on their faces. The video feed across from them was connecting to the representatives of several other galaxies.
Everyone had gathered together to discuss the matter of the Illusion Tree.
“This is the current situation. Why don’t we discuss it together and come up with a solution as soon as possible?”
Minister Ou was the first to speak, and his attitude could be considered sincere.
Unfortunately, Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative did not give him any face at all and asked, “Then does your Federation have any countermeasures now?”
Seeing the other party’s overbearing manner, Minister Ou could not help but curse in his heart. If we had a good countermeasure, would we still come looking for you?
Seeing Minister Ou’s silence, Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative could not help but snicker. Although his voice was not loud, the sarcasm in his tone could not be any more obvious.
Right now, the confrontation between Wisdom Cloud Galaxy and the Federation was becoming more and more heated.
If it was not because of the reputation of both sides, they might have really shed all pretense of cordiality at some point!
Of course, now was not the time yet, so everyone tried their best to maintain the peace on the surface.
Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative also knew how to seize the opportunity. Seeing that the effect was almost over, he did not dare to provoke the other party anymore. He slowly said, “It’s not like we are at a dead end on our side.”
What?!
As soon as he said this, the representatives of the other galaxies, including the Federation, could not help but be shocked!
“What’s your method?”
Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative did not keep him in suspense anymore. “Our Scientific Research Department and the Medical Research Center have collaborated to develop a biological drug that can control the ability of the Illusion Tree.”
“Is it effective?” Minister Ou could not help but ask.
“Humph!” Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s people snorted coldly and rolled their eyes at Minister Ou. “What do you think? If it’s not effective, why would we take it out?”
“Then, what plans do you have for this medicine?” Dark Ocean Galaxy’s representative could not hold it in any longer and directly asked.
In the beginning, when they discovered that the abnormality in the Magical Region was caused by the Illusion Tree, they were also shocked!
They had tried all sorts of methods, but they were still unable to destroy the Illusion Tree. It was because of this that when they heard the Federation’s proposal to hold a joint meeting on this matter, they nodded their heads in agreement.
They never expected that Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s side would really come up with a solution!
No matter what price they had to pay, they had to obtain it!
The representatives of the other galaxies had similar thoughts.
Glancing at everyone’s expressions, Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative immediately put on a show. “Why, does everyone want to buy our medicine?”
Those who could participate in this conference were all people of great status from the various galaxies. Normally, even if they were not praised by others, they would never look at others with a cold face!
But now, even if they were angered by Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s arrogant attitude, they still had to try their best to suppress it. After all, they had a favor to ask of someone and there was nothing they could do about it!
“Alright.” Seeing that everyone’s expressions had changed in an instant, Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative finally spoke. “I won’t hide it from everyone. The production of this medicine is fraught with difficulties. The manpower and material resources required for it are astronomical!”
“It’s impossible for us to give this medicine to everyone for free. If everyone really wants it, they would have to take out some equivalent items, right?”
Although Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s words were not pleasant to hear, everyone understood the logic behind them.
After all, it was Wisdom Cloud Galaxy who had the medicine now. He should be the one to be awesome!
“Tell me, what kind of equivalent items do you want?” Dark Ocean Galaxy’s representative asked. In his heart, he was already prepared to be slaughtered.
Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative swept a glance at him and said lightly, “Don’t worry, it’s not much. Just give us all the resources that you guys have received over the past 200 years!”
… What?
Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed drastically!
They all knew that Wisdom Cloud Galaxy would take advantage of this opportunity to rob them. But they did not expect him to be so greedy!
That was 200 years’ worth of resources, and he was going to exchange it for a small bottle of medicine? How could he say such a thing?!
If it were not for the light screen, perhaps everyone would have spat at him! Shameless!
“What’s the matter? Does your heart hurt?”
Seeing everyone’s gloomy expressions, representative Wisdom Cloud Galaxy could not help but chuckle and spread his hands helplessly. “If your heart hurts, you can choose not to buy it! After all, we are not the ones who will suffer losses…”
His words were easy to say, but they firmly grasped the lifeblood of the other galaxies. Everyone’s expressions instantly turned ugly!
Not buying it?
… How could they not buy it?
Once the Illusion Tree’s ability was extended to the area inhabited by humans, they would all be doomed, right? Who dared to take such a risk? They could not afford to gamble, and they could not afford to lose!
But when they thought of the 200 years of resources, they could not help but feel heartache!
Damn! This was clearly taking away half of their lives, alright?
“Hurry up, have you made a decision?” Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative frowned impatiently and said in a coarse voice, “Are you guys going to buy it or not? It’s just a matter of one sentence, do you have to be so chatty for so long?”
F*ck! Everyone was so angry that they sucked in a breath of cold air!
You said it so easily! So you’re not the one who’s struggling and angry now?
Taking a deep breath, the representatives of the few galaxies looked at each other, but they still could not make a decision. After all, the number of resources involved was too large.
“How about this… I’ll discuss it with the higher-ups first.”
“Right, I have to make a report first.”
“And me.”
…
This matter was too big, and Minister Ou did not dare to make the decision on his own. He was just about to get up and go outside to send a video message to the higher-ups to report on the current situation.
In the end, he had not even stood up yet! Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative’s words had stunned him!
“Oh right, I forgot to mention it just now.” The corner of Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative’s mouth curled into a malicious smile. “If the Federation wants to buy our medicine, the price… has to be doubled!”
What?!
Hearing this, Minister Ou was so angry that he was trembling!
… Doubled the price?
In other words, they had to use 400 years of resources in exchange for one of their medicine?
This was going too far!
“You… you are deliberately targeting us!” Minister Ou’s eyes were burning with anger, so angry that his fingers were trembling slightly.
If they really gave away the 400 years of resources, then, without a doubt, the development of their Federation would be left behind by the other galaxies by a large margin!
“I’ve already said it before.” Seeing Minister Ou’s unconcealable anger, Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative actually smiled and said slowly, “This is a fair trade. It’s a matter of mutual consent. If you don’t want to buy it, we won’t force you!”
As for whether your Federation would live or die in the future, that had nothing to do with them!
… What was the meaning of a villain achieving success?
This was it!
Even though Minister Ou was not a person who kept his emotions to himself, being able to reach his current position meant that he had some unique control over his emotions.
However, today, he was angered by Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s attitude to the point that he broke his cultivation!
The representatives from the other galaxies had not left yet, so they were able to witness this scene.
They could not help but sigh in their hearts. Although Wisdom Cloud Galaxy and the Federation had never been on good terms, Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s actions at this moment were a little too much…
Just 200 years’ worth of resources was enough to make them vomit blood! What’s more, this had doubled, and they still needed another 400 years! Just thinking about it made their hearts ache for the Federation…
“Just you wait! I’ll go and ask!” Glaring at Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative, Minister Ou gritted his teeth and forced the words out of his chest!
However, Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative purposely added fuel to the fire by replying:
“Sure, I’ll wait for your reply! However, you have to hurry up. If it’s too late and the medicine is gone, not to mention 400 years of resources, even if you take out 800 years of resources, we won’t be able to do anything about it.”
Hearing this, Minister Ou’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and he almost gritted his teeth!
…
Half an hour later, after careful consideration.
All the representatives of the Galaxy had gathered once again, and it was obvious that they had already made up their minds.
“How is everyone’s consideration?” Even though he said this, the representative of Wisdom Cloud Galaxy knew in his heart that this matter was most likely certain.
He was even leisurely drinking his Spirit Wine.
Seeing this, everyone could not help but turn their gazes towards Minister Ou and Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative…
This Spirit Wine was from Mo Chu, right?
Looking at Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s attitude, he was prepared to ruthlessly slap the face of the Federation!
That’s right!
Back then, Wisdom Cloud Galaxy was the one with the highest selling price of the pastries and Spirit Wine that Mo Chu had produced. Back then, she had even caused quite a stir because of this matter.
Now, Wisdom Cloud Galaxy had even specially brought out Spirit Wine. The meaning behind his words could not be clearer: Didn’t your Federation demand a high price before? Now, we’ve earned back our face with a bottle of medicine that’s less than two milliliters!
How could Minister Ou not understand the meaning behind his words? Minister Ou’s face instantly turned dark, yet he did not dare to say anything!
“Alright, tell us about your decision.” Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative would stop when things were good. After all, if he really angered Minister Ou, the situation would not be easy to handle…
“We agreed to the conditions you mentioned earlier.”
“Yes, the same goes for us.”
“Then when will Wisdom Cloud Galaxy give us the medicine?”
…
Unsurprisingly, the representatives of the other galaxies reluctantly agreed to Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s condition!
Although 200 years of resources were extremely precious, in order to get through this crisis, they had to give up whatever they could!
“Okay.” Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s representative nodded. Then, he turned to Minister Ou with great interest and asked leisurely, “By the way, What about the Federation? Are you willing to exchange 400 years of resources for this medicine?”
This person even emphasized the words ‘400 years’ worth of resources’. He really looked fearless…
Minister Ou held back the unwillingness in his heart and slowly said, “We… also agree…”
Before he could finish saying ‘Agree’, the door was suddenly pushed open!
Ning Yiyuan walked in with steady steps, his eyes glistening…
