Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

He looked directly at Jing Yuan and said, word by word:

“I intend to bring this great king down here.”

Chapter 176 Initial Agreement on Cooperation

“I intend to bring this great king down here.”

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, the tea table fell silent.

The white-haired general's projection picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and remained silent.

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry, and also picked up the exquisite porcelain teacup in front of him.

The translucent green tea soup leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, and makes one feel warm all over.

“Good tea!”

Although the two were in different places, they seemed to be able to appreciate the same flavor in the same cup of tea.

"Representative Lin is truly a man of few words, but when he does speak, it's astonishing."

A moment later, Jing Yuan's voice carried a hint of emotion.

He looked at Lin Yuan's young face, his gaze slightly complicated.

"I am aware of what you have said, young friend. However, the information is vague and its authenticity is difficult to verify. Do you have any more detailed information?"

As he spoke, a sharp glint flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes.

"Perhaps we will disappoint the general, but we don't have any more relevant intelligence either. After all, the company can't plant an informant among those crazy guys in the legion."

Lin Yuan shrugged.

"However, with the Immortal Ship's channels and the Grand Diviner's verification methods, I think... General, you should have a way to determine its authenticity. So, what are your thoughts on the cooperation?"

Jing Yuan closed his eyes slightly and took another sip.

"The matter of cooperation should be left to be verified before discussing it further. However, if it really happens..."

His voice, which had been casual before, became solemn.

"As the General of the Cloud Cavalry, I am responsible for defense."

"Thanks to the Alliance's trust, the lives of billions in Luofu are entrusted to me. Any force that dares to invade Luofu will be hunted down by the arrows of the [Hunter] to the ends of the earth, until they are annihilated."

Even though it was a projection, Jing Yuan's gaze still revealed a hint of coldness, and his aura seemed to transcend space.

"Regarding the matter of the Great Lord of Annihilation that you mentioned, whether it is true or false, my fellow comrades in the Immortal Ship will not allow it to break out in battle within the Immortal Ship territory and cause harm to the common people."

[The Hunt] must keep enemies light-years away. This applies equally to the minions of [Destruction] and other factions. Please understand, young friend.

Although Jing Yuan's tone was gentle, it carried an undeniable air of authority.

"I understand, General, please have some tea."

Lin Yuan smiled and raised his glass in a toast, then lowered his eyes.

"Whether we can defend against external enemies or not is not up to you to decide."

He thought to himself.

As for informing Xianzhou about Huanlong's information and subsequent actions? Lin Yuan immediately dismissed the idea.

Not to mention that the matter of Huanlong was a causal path that the forces of the "End" chose to close due to their reversal of course.

If he truly succeeded in keeping enemies at bay, where would Lin Yuan find a [Destruction] Envoy as a source of growth material?

When there is an inevitable trend, acting in accordance with it is the right path.

When the calamity of illusion truly erupts, the Immortal Boat's thoughts will naturally change.

The more Lin Yuan does, the greater his rewards will be.

This is his exclusive market development plan: to seize benefits from crises that have not yet occurred.

As he was pondering this, Jingyuan noticed his silence.

"Young friend Lin, no matter what, the news you brought is invaluable. Jingyuan thanks you on behalf of all the people of Luofu."

He paused.

"Such a generous gift deserves a return from the Alliance. Young friend Lin's purpose on this trip will be fully rewarded by Luo Fu. As for the Star Core Hunter..."

Jing Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

"Although one of its members has been captured, its accomplices are still hiding in the shadows. As a general, I grant you the authority to act as you see fit and investigate the hunter's purpose in infiltrating the immortal ship. What do you think, young friend?"

"So good."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, but a hint of regret still lingered on his face.

"Well then, let's leave it at that. I hope that this time, [Preservation] and [Hunting] can continue to work together to uphold justice in the galaxy."

"That's how it should be."

The young envoy and General Xianzhou exchanged a smile and raised their glasses in a toast.

...............

"Wow, the younger generation is truly formidable."

Inside the Shence Palace.

Jingyuan put down his teacup and sighed softly.

"Hmph, the younger generation is to be feared? It's rare to hear such a phrase from a general."

A young, charming female voice rang out from the side, yet it carried a hint of accumulated authority.

Beside the desk, the petite figure of a pink-haired girl was projected.

"Oh, Fu Qing—"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan helplessly dragged out the last note.

"The phrase 'the younger generation is to be feared' is not enough to describe Fu Qing. Now there are more variables in this game, and we will have to rely on you a lot in the future."

"Humph."

The pink-haired girl raised her cheeks slightly, her voice seemingly tinged with laughter.

"As for my conversation with the company representative, you heard it all. What are your thoughts, Lord Diviner?"

"Opinion? That company representative is truly cunning; his words are full of traps."

Fu Xuan paused.

"As for his statement about the extermination of the Great Ruler, and whether it brings good or bad fortune, I just cast a divination."

"Oh? As expected of Minister Fu, you truly have a brilliant strategy."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan clapped his hands and sighed, only to see the petite diviner purse her lips.

"Then General, you should abdicate as soon as possible."

Unusually, she became serious before Jing Yuan could even come up with an excuse.

"I just cast a divination on this matter, and the hexagram fluctuates between Kan and Qian, which indicates that the water is trapping the dragon in the abyss, and that its scales and claws are just beginning to move."

There are immense risks, but also considerable opportunities.

"Oh?"

Jing Yuan raised his eyes slightly, then shook his head and chuckled softly.

"It seems there are still many variables. I will have to remain in my position as general for a while longer. Once things turn around, I will certainly offer my advice to Minister Fu at the Six Emperors' Meeting."

"Hmph, General, tomorrow is never coming. Stop trying to fool children with your excuses."

The holographic figure flashed by and disappeared into the Divine Strategy Palace.

"Ah, the younger generation is truly formidable."

Jing Yuan smiled and shook his head.

A mix of relief and exhaustion.

.............

After meeting with Jing Yuan, Lin Yuan slowly left the Tianbo Company.

He had completely forgotten about the conversation that had just taken place.

"Another Star Core Hunter? Lao Jing, there's only one bait, but don't try to kill two birds with one stone... I don't have time to be your secret weapon."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Searching for someone on this celestial ship is like finding a needle in a haystack. Why not experience the local customs and culture of the celestial ship first?"

When the time is right, I'll also go fishing in the forest. Wouldn't it be better to let those who are willing take the bait?

After a brief farewell to Yu Kong, it's unclear what Jing Yuan told him, but the captain's attitude softened considerably.

However, upon closer inspection, one can still discern a degree of wariness in the other person's gaze.

But it doesn't matter, the Tianbo Company has already agreed to open doors of convenience for Lin Yuanda.

As for the rest, he need not trouble himself.

"Lord Lin Yuan, after witnessing your brilliance, I understand why our company is able to dominate the galaxy."

After witnessing Lin Yuan's attitude towards the higher-ups of the Immortal Ship, Mu Zheng was now completely convinced.

Lin Yuan discovered that this person was truly talented in providing emotional value, but he didn't know how capable they were.

"Lord Lin, so what's next...?"

"There's still some time before the company's welcome banquet. Could you arrange a guide for me to take me on a proper tour of this fairy ship?"

This publicly funded trip is the most comfortable.
