This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 616: Qinglong's Recklessness

At the members' seats, everyone's eyes flickered, and many people were communicating secretly. This proposal seemed to be only related to various civilizations.

But to be honest, this proposal is actually related to the many X-level life forms on the scene.

Especially those X-level life forms cultivated by the local civilization.

After the Mechanics Association was put under supervision, they themselves and the forces under their command gained a lot of related benefits.

Although it won’t be vomited out now, there is no guarantee that there will be no liquidation in the future.

They all considered things that would happen in the long term, and especially when they thought about some of the dirty tricks they had done, they couldn't help but worry.

The Mechanics Association was originally a fat sheep organization. The three major civilizations raised their butcher knives, and all civilizations followed suit.

Now that the Azure Dragon has risen and the fat sheep has a backer, things are getting troublesome.

The faces of some people changed drastically, and they felt a little impatient. When they beat the downed dog, they did not hold back at all. Who could have thought that such a day would come.

The voting has already begun, and some people who have never had any contact with the Machinists Association naturally voted in favor.

The rest of them hesitated and were extremely reluctant, but they had no choice.

It was still the same problem. They didn't dare to oppose Qinglong and could only agree.

It was another unanimous vote. Li Ming nodded and said calmly, "Thank you very much for your support."

"However, there is one thing I need to emphasize. Since you have voted in favor, I hope you will implement it conscientiously."

There was a tone of criticism in his words, he knew exactly what these guys were like.

The current situation is that he needs a united organization of higher life forms as his tentacles, and it is impossible for him to do everything by himself.

These people also need a banner as their support, which must have enough strength and prestige to suppress the thoughts of others and unite everyone.

However, overall, he was more proactive. After all, this group of people could never unite as one, so he acted unscrupulously.

Everyone was a little frightened, and no one dared to say anything. They all nodded in agreement.

"Do you have any other proposals?" Li Ming asked.

Anduin's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I do have an idea."

The crowd, who were about to adjourn the meeting, could not help but be surprised.

The supervisory seat will be removed at the next meeting, it has not been removed yet.

Qinglong's proposal regarding the Mechanics Association involves various civilizations, so it was brought up in this meeting, which is equivalent to a notification.

If Anduin is wise, it would be best to wait until the next meeting to raise his proposal.

"It's like this. The Higher Life Forms United Organization has gradually stabilized, so I want to set up an S-class Life Forms United Branch, an A-class Life Forms United Branch, and so on..." He narrated slowly, "to help manage these unstable factors in interstellar society."

The members of the joint organization were stunned, their eyes flickering.

Whose meaning is this, Anduin or the Azure Dragon?
But just as he finished speaking, someone in the supervisor's seat stood up and refuted, saying in a deep voice: "There is absolutely no need for this. The low-level evolutionary bodies will be dealt with by the various civilizations themselves."

"That's right..." Representatives of other civilizations also echoed with a firm attitude, but their eyes kept scanning Qinglong.

"Sir Anduin..." The Federation representative's face was gloomy. This matter was not within their tacit consent. "This matter is of great importance. If we are not careful, it will cause interstellar turmoil. Let's discuss it later."

Gustav was surprised. This was a really big step taken by Anduin.

The so-called vote by the United Organization of Higher Life Forms actually decides things within the overall framework.

For example, regarding the removal of the supervision of the Mechanics Association, the supervisory committee was established relatively recently, and the deep interests of various civilizations have not yet been bound together.

Three major civilizations acquiesced, and the others had to accept it because of Qinglong's prestige.

But without these prerequisites, even if their internal proposal is passed, it will be useless because no one will listen.

It is even more impossible for them to go to every civilization, big or small, to personally supervise their implementation.

But once additional divisions at various life levels are added, the situation will immediately be different. With tentacles that reach all the way to the end, civilizations will have no choice but to agree.

Especially the issue of evolved crime.

The members of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms are all X-level life forms. They are unable to deal with these people. Ordinary civilizations cannot even contact them and do not feel deeply about them.

But once more divisions are added to the various levels of life, if an evolved being that has committed a crime hides in one of them, will they still be able to catch it?
This proposal will cause a series of problems and may even fundamentally shake the rule of various civilizations.

Almost all the civilized representatives in the supervisory seats stood up to express their protest.

Anduin looked around but was not angry. He shrugged and said, "It was just a casual remark. If you don't agree, forget it."

He retreated easily, his gazes intertwined on Qinglong's face, but he remained silent.

It is estimated that Qinglong asked Anduin to test the waters and test the waters. If the reactions of various civilizations are not so intense, it is estimated that the plan will definitely move forward.

This kind of vote involving external forces and civilizations, if not notified in advance and only passed internally, would be just a game and no one would cooperate.

"The environment doesn't allow it yet..." Li Ming was very calm. Anduin had mentioned this to him, but he didn't take it to heart.

It would be strange if this proposal, which is tantamount to digging up the roots, was not resisted.

Li Ming asked again if anyone had any proposals, and this time there was real silence. After waiting for three or five minutes, he announced the end of the meeting.

“The relevant proposal information will be announced to the public after it is sorted out.”

Gustav disappeared without saying a word, and his silence was beyond many people's expectations.

However, after the meeting, the former president immediately found Anatoly and said sarcastically: "Your Excellency the Dusk Hermit really lives up to his name. You charged passionately for Azure Dragon."

"You yourself are becoming the guild president, but you are not that excited."

No matter how scheming Gustava was, it was impossible for him not to feel resentful this time, especially towards Anatoly.

Traitors are more hateful than enemies.

Anatoly, however, was quite relaxed and not angry at all. He walked away and said, "Gustav, there's no need to be so indignant."

"If you're really angry, you can go and vent it at Qinglong. You were ready to disappear, but during the entire meeting, you didn't even dare to say a word? Don't you have any temper at all?"

"I'm just afraid that if I anger Qinglong, he will find you at any cost."

Gustav's face was dead silent. Anatoly smiled, as if he had seen through his thoughts. "I guess your visit to me this time is not purely out of resentment for betrayal."

"You and I are in a cooperative relationship. Isn't it normal for us to find our own way out when disaster strikes? How can you call it betrayal? Or are you jealous?"

Gustav's pupils shrank slightly, and a wave of emotion appeared on his dead face, but it quickly subsided. Anatoly kept his head down. There was a clanking sound from the screen, as if he was looking for some metal tools. He continued, "He was jealous that I satisfied Qinglong, avoided the reckoning, and didn't have to abandon the power he had created with great effort."

"After all, you can only be like a rat in a gutter, watching others wantonly mock and slander the once invincible Lord of the Black Hole Hall, but you can do nothing about it."

The screen in front of him blurred for a moment, and the signal seemed unstable. Anatoly picked up a thin brass kitchen knife with satisfaction and weighed it in his hand.

Gustav had a blank expression on his face: "Be careful of being liquidated. The three great civilizations will not easily swallow this breath. We don't know what secrets they have discovered in the depths of the Red River Star Stream."

"Then I won't bother you." Anatoly paused, then said, "By the way, if you are planning to attack me, you should think carefully about whether I am deliberately provoking you today."

Snapped--
The virtual screen in front of him disappeared, and the expression on Anatoly's face slowly faded. He focused on cutting the fish, and the brass kitchen knife carefully processed the white and purple fish meat on the metal chopping board.

.........

At the same time, the Interstellar Alliance has announced a series of proposals put forward by the United Organization of Higher Life Forms at the meeting.

The first thing to be affected was the replacement of the president, Qinglong replaced Gustav as the new president.

This did not surprise many people. Even people who did not know the inside story could see that Qinglong's prestige exceeded that of Gustav.

However, the second one caused an uproar.

“…Since the establishment of the Higher Life Forms United Organization, the Civilization Supervisory Seat established at the beginning of its establishment has perfectly fulfilled its due responsibilities and obligations, always allowing the United Organization to grow on the right path and complete its historical mission.

After an internal vote, it was decided to remove the Civilization Supervisor seat from today..."

Many people and forces are keenly aware that the United Organization of Higher Life Forms has entered a new stage.

However, there was a third announcement that left some people scratching their heads.

“…decided by joint vote to abolish the Internal Oversight Committee of the Machinists Association.”

The announcement was brief. After it was released, the Mechanics Association immediately started a discussion. Many mechanics were extremely excited and shouted "The Azure Dragon Master Craftsman is mighty!"

Many interstellar professionals have begun to analyze, and their main concern is that this should not fall within the scope of responsibilities of the joint organization of higher life forms.

Does this mean that the United Organization is more powerful in some way?
Everyone knows very well that these things are all related to Qinglong.

Just as the outside world was conducting various analyses on the Interstellar Alliance's announcement and speculating on what role Qinglong played in it.

An even more explosive news swept in - the three major civilizations jointly issued an apology statement.

The statements made by external spokespersons are slightly different, but the meanings are similar.

This action was caused by a misunderstanding due to a lack of careful review within the civilization and a series of false intelligence.

They emphasized that the Chaos Star Gap was indeed a gathering place for criminals, but Qinglong was not involved, and after the situation brewed, he actively cooperated in clearing out the criminals, and was a role model in the interstellar space.

They should make a formal and solemn apology to Qinglong and compensate for a series of losses.

In fact, ever since the Chaos Star Gap incident ended, many people have been speculating on how the three major civilizations would set the tone for this attack.

It is a strong warning and will continue to be targeted.

Or just remain indifferent and suffer the loss in silence.

Even to the point of admitting mistakes and making apologies.

Under normal circumstances, the last possibility does not exist, or in other words, it will not be in the form of an "apology".

A public apology would cause great damage to the dignity of civilization, and the impact it would cause is difficult to measure in reality.

At most they would just laugh it off, and then secretly reach various agreements with Qinglong, and the matter would be over. This was the template for similar situations in the past.

So many people were surprised. They didn't expect that the three major civilizations would actually surrender.

However, more ordinary life forms found it incredible. In their minds, the idea that "the three major civilizations are almost invincible" still existed, even though Qinglong's combat record was great.

But it was difficult for them to clearly understand the inside story, and they subconsciously thought that even if this was the case, the three major civilizations could still deal with it, so they were even more surprised.

However, a part of the fanatical fans, mainly the "Chief Dragon Blower", welcomed the big carnival and reckoning, wandering among some people who had previously sung a different tune and mocking them harshly.

The interstellar space that had been quiet for a while was boiling again, and an idea gradually took root in the minds of the beings who had heard the relevant news -
"It seems that the three great civilizations can't do anything to Azure Dragon."

……

The secret base in Sheffield, after the apology statements from the three major civilizations were issued immediately.

Costat, Dius, and Zhang Hengyu contacted Li Ming again.

"We have already untied the Mechanics Association, revoked the supervisory seat, and publicly apologized to you. Can we negotiate now?" Costat's face was tense.

Each of these requirements will have a significant impact on the three major civilizations and other civilizations within the foreseeable range.

And the continuous strengthening of Azure Dragon's prestige is an invisible loss.

Even so, they had to accept it with a wry smile; this was the price of defeat.

"Well, since you are all sincere, we can talk about it." Li Ming also nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone, please make an offer."

He was not going to carry out any divide and conquer operations. The most he did last time was to disgust them.

These three parties are not stupid. They will definitely communicate madly in private and will not let them control each other. It is better for them to talk together.

"According to interstellar conventions..." Costat said, "The redemption price of a Class X life form is 50 billion star coins..."

"Too low." Li Ming interrupted immediately, frowning and saying, "The profit of an X-level life form is far more than 50 billion."

However, he had understood the "market situation" and realized that Costat had not fooled him.

Moreover, this price is the transaction price between civilizations.

It started when the Interstellar Alliance had not yet been established. There were many civilizations fighting each other at that time, and of course it was a life-and-death battle at the beginning.

Later, as the fighting went on, civilization became less and less, the war situation subsided, and prisoners became the mainstream.

If the transaction price is too low, it will not be deterrent; if the transaction price is too high, people will not be willing to give it up.

There was no side with an absolute advantage at the time, and both sides captured prisoners, which was convenient for themselves.

This "market price" was gradually determined and has remained so to this day.

Until now, when there is friction between the three major civilizations, they still redeem the captured X-level life forms according to this price, regardless of their strength.

The transaction price between civilizations and individuals is even lower. For example, last time, Li Ming captured the empire's x-level life form, and the empire was even prepared to use tens of billions to fool him.
