MTL - Become The Guard AI Of The Lost Civilization After Transmigration-Chapter 28 a need-induced guesswork

  Chapter 28 A Guess Caused by a Requirement

   It took a lot of time to clean up the remaining swarms, and even with the help of these interstellar explorers hired by Corebo, it took several days.

   On this day, Kribo, who finally repaired and cleaned the trading station, ushered in an official meeting with the "Guardian".

  A small and inconspicuous scientific research spacecraft is docked at the star port. Normally, no one would care about the arrival of such a ship.

   But today, countless survivors of the swarm attack are looking at it seriously.

  The hatch of the spaceship opened slowly, and several humanoid species that looked very strange to them walked out of it.

  People with sharp eyes can see at a glance that they are actually robots inside. Although they don't know why the body surface is covered with a layer of bionic skin, this seems to prove that the "Guardian" is actually an omnic civilization.

  The person in charge of the trading station, Breining, greeted him first, and greeted him with a polite smile:

   "Having the presence of the 'Guardian' really makes this site flourish! Please also move to the VIP room, Kribo thank you for your rescue, and we have prepared a gift for you there!"

  Although he wanted to lick it directly in his heart, but now that many people are present, he represents the face of Corey Bo, and he cannot be too humble.

  The synthetic man had no intention of speaking, but his footsteps followed Brainin to the VIP room.

   Normally, this indifferent attitude would have drawn Brianin's fury, but at this time, he was leading the way as usual.

  And someone in the crowd whispered:

   "...By the way, is the 'Guardian' so indifferent? Not saying a word..."

   "Shhh...they are omnics, their way of thinking is different from ours, don't take it for granted that they will have normal emotions..."

   "And don't you know? According to the gossip, the 'Guardian' is likely to be a lost civilization. An existence of this level needs to care about other people's feelings?"

   "What?! Lost Civilization? You mean... something like 'Observer'?"

  "...That's what you think! Didn't you find it? Their Titan warships are much larger than those of ordinary civilizations! I have seen similar Titan warships in the Turbulent Empire, and they are not half as big as the Guardians!"

   "And ah...according to my friends inside Kribb, the guardian's fleet suddenly appeared here! They didn't detect the hyperspace signal!"

   "Is there such a thing?" This made the melon eaters even more surprised.

  Hyperspace navigation is the most common way of traveling faster than the speed of light in the interstellar world. The standard for all civilizations to be recognized as interstellar civilizations is whether they have hyperspace engines.

   This kind of engine can allow the spacecraft to enter the "highway" in the interstellar, so as to realize convenient super-light speed travel.

  Different from the dangerous subspace, the hyperspace is very stable, even if you fall directly from it, you will just return to the normal universe.

  Besides, hyperspace generally exists in the interstellar space, so almost all interstellar civilizations initially rely on hyperspace for interstellar navigation.

   But at this time, when they heard that the "Guardian" fleet probably didn't arrive here through hyperspace, they all stared wide-eyed without exception.

   "Isn't it hyperspace? What else could it be? Wormholes? Stargates? But these things don't exist around here?"

   "Is it possible that it came through the subspace? Although this technology only exists in the theory of our scientists, it is very likely that the guardians have mastered this technology!"

  …

  For a while, these interstellar adventurers, who are usually not interested in technology, actually discussed it in a dignified manner like scientists.

  New things always attract people's enthusiasm for discussion. When they finished the discussion and looked at the welcome passageway, they found that the people and guardians of Cribri had disappeared.

   "...Oops, I forgot to record the video, how can I brag with my old friends without video information?"

   "Who has the video resources of the guardian? I will give 10 energy coins and receive one!"

   "Look at your stingy look, I'll give you 25!"

   "I will offer 50! Plus the coordinates of a new galaxy!"

  The crowd returned to the noise they used to be, and these wanderers, who were always wandering among the stars, rarely had a relaxed atmosphere.

  In the VIP room of Cribb, the synthetic man and Brainin sat opposite each other again.

   "...Speaking of which, the last time we met, it seems like ten years ago? I haven't changed much, but you are still as amazing as ever."

  The VIP room did not change into the appearance of the meeting hall, indicating that the formal negotiation has not yet entered.

   Li Wenyuan, who was in deep thought, heard what Bu Ning said, and gave him a slight glance, but did not make the synthetic man react.

  He had heard how the crowd was talking about him in the aisle before.

"Lost civilization? If I remember correctly, the archaeologists in my family also guessed me in the same way. It sounds like a terrifying existence... Then pretend to follow their ideas. What should I do now? Will it help?"

  At that time, he had the idea of ​​pretending to be powerful. After all, the pretended strength is no different from the real strength before being exposed.

   What's more, he doesn't have nothing now, and he has a certain ability to show his strength when faced with doubts.

  So after a while of thinking, he chose to talk less and pretend to be the end.

  This kind of behavior allows others to speculate on his intentions, reducing the possibility of his exposure, and it also fits his "omnic" image. There is no more perfect choice than this.

  Brenning saw that the synthetic man had no intention of talking to him, so he smiled awkwardly, and turned the VIP room into a conference hall with a wave of his hand.

   "...forget about the fact that your omnic civilization is not prosperous, so I am very happy to establish contact with you again, respected 'Guardian'."

   "I, and my assistant Mao Xiong, will negotiate with you on behalf of Ke Ruibo this time."

   Speaking of this, Li Wenyuan noticed that there was a second person in the corner, who was as tall as a bear. Who else could it be if it wasn't the bear who had blackmailed him?

  Mao Xiong came forward, his expression full of apprehension, obviously remembering what he had done.

  Now Mao Xiong regrets that he didn't tell the truth at the beginning. Because he was afraid of punishment, he didn't say that he blackmailed the "guardians", but entertained and sent them away very "friendly".

   This made Bryan look at him with admiration, gave him a big salary increase, and gave him so many conveniences that he almost forgot what he had done.

  However, seeing the "Guardian" again now, he recalled what he did. At this moment, he even thought about where to bury himself.

  Of course Li Wenyuan also noticed this "acquaintance", but ten years later, he has lost much feeling for what such a small person has done.

  He didn't actually lose anything, not to mention the small fact that he cares about it doesn't fit his label of "lost civilization", so he simply maintained that indifferent appearance.

   "...Then, first of all, I would like to thank you for your assistance. Without you, this trading post would have been destroyed long ago, and the tens of thousands of adventurers from all races on it would have died."

   "This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the reputation of Cribri, but you have solved this problem perfectly."

   "So in addition to the original rescue compensation, Core Bo decided to give the following gifts free of charge to maintain the friendship between us."

   "The first is the gift of 20 billion direct energy coins. They can be used as the general equivalent of interstellar transactions. Of course, you can also directly convert them into energy and use them where you need them."

   "Secondly, there is a 25% off trade discount for Corebo. Anyone who trades in the trade enclave of Corebo will enjoy this discount, which will last for years until Corebo's demise."

   "The third is the ownership of a mining galaxy..."

  …

  Brenning said a lot of gifts in one breath, but found that the synthetic man in front of the seat didn't respond at all, and didn't even change his expression.

   "...Sure enough, it still can't attract the interest of the 'Guardian'?" He thought to himself, and took it for granted.

  How could a dignified lost civilization need these things? Just selling a piece of living metal is basically worth the value of these gifts.

   "Since this is the case, we can only use the last method... Speaking of which, those iron **** are willing to spend this kind of money in order to win over the 'Guardian'?"

  Thinking so, he said the last sentence:

   "In the end, it's 10% of the shares of Clarib Enterprises! You don't need to participate in management, but you will always have a part of the dividends of each industry!"

   This is the greatest sacrifice that Huanyu Enterprises can make. For these capitalists standing at the top, every share is enough to cause a bloodbath within the enterprise.

   This time, so much was directly brought out, it is obvious that Keribo very much hopes to win the relationship with the "Guardian".

  Brenning looked at the synthetic man in front of him expectantly, and seemed to have heard the voice of agreement.

  However, under his gradually astonished expression, the synthetic man shook his head slowly and expressed their thoughts.

   "...I need: Star Map."

star map?

  The moment he heard this word, Breining was stunned for a while, unable to understand why they needed this.

   But immediately after, his pupils constricted suddenly, and some kind of scary but reasonable guess welled up in his mind.

  His expression returned to normal again, but cold sweat had quietly wet his back.

  He was so panicked that he didn't even notice that his voice was trembling:

   "...Well, I need to contact my boss, please wait a moment..."
