Chapter 262: 148, Strike from a Thousand Miles Away_2

However, what surprised him was that he had thought it could be an inspector from the Vassal Faction who would represent the Yan Family to come and persuade him.

But what he didn’t expect was that it turned out to be another Upper Minister, “Polucott”?

“Minister Polucott?”

Lin Qing looked at the handsome middle-aged man in front of him wearing a white suit, graceful like a gentlemanly noble, and couldn’t help but feel somewhat astonished.

As far as he knew, Polucott was clearly an Upper Minister from the United Faction!

Last year at the Inspection Headquarters, the three Upper Ministers were from the Vassal Faction, the United Faction, and the Autonomy Faction, respectively, forming a tripartite balance of power.

During last year’s prison break at the Broken Stele Prison, a Vassal Faction’s Upper Minister died.

Unexpectedly, Minister Polucott had also become part of the Vassal Faction?

“Lin Qing, I have high hopes for you.”

Polucott sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Qing, his posture meticulous in etiquette and full of aristocratic air.

“You’re only turning twenty at the end of this month, right?”

He smiled and said, “There’s no rush to attempt the Divine Position Trial. First, take a look at this contract; it was personally drafted by my old friend, the Yan Family Head—Yan Ruling—for you.”

Lin Qing glanced at the contract on the table but did not touch it, instead saying, “Does Minister Polucott not know whom I am aligned with?”

Polucott smiled and replied, “Tang Wanqiu? I know you’re a promising seedling favored by the Autonomy Faction, but what of it? Outside the urban circle, factional divisions are merely trivial squabbles. Within the urban circle, Intelligent Star Group is the most dominant.”

He then looked up at the endless night sky outside the window, “Beyond Earth, the Yuan Chen Civilization is countless times more powerful than our Earth civilization. Don’t you find the idea of autonomy naïve and laughable?”

“It is quite naïve, but not laughable,” Lin Qing casually said.

“You don’t seem like someone so naïve,” Polucott smiled and said, “Let’s talk about the contract, shall we? You don’t have to look at it if you don’t want to; I can tell you about it directly.”

He looked at Lin Qing, “How confident are you in going to the First Restricted Area and attempting the Divine Position Trial right now? Twenty percent? Thirty percent? Or forty percent?”

Lin Qing didn’t respond.

“Once you sign this contract,”

Polucott stared at Lin Qing, “with the resources and intelligence provided by the Yan Family, I can guarantee that you will have at least a sixty percent chance of passing the Divine Position Trial!”

He continued slowly, “May 20, 2126, that’s when Earth officially becomes part of the cosmic starry sky, with only three and a half years left. If you fail in this Divine Position Trial, the next one will only be harder. And if you fail to obtain Cosmic Citizen status, do you know what will happen?”

Lin Qing looked at him.

“By that time, special life planets like Earth, in the eyes of various cosmic civilizations, will appear as an undefended vault.”

Polucott said gravely, “At that point, Earth’s meager strength won’t be able to protect you, and ordinary people will be like lambs to the slaughter, treated like livestock, and for someone born on a high-level planet like Earth with decent talent and being the most standard ‘Initial Humans’.”

With a somewhat mocking smile, he added, “You probably don’t know what Initial Humans are, right?”

“I truly don’t,” Lin Qing looked at him.

Polucott spoke softly, “The Cosmic Race is a vast group, and the Initial Humans are the earliest human species that appeared – their emotions, souls, and genes are the most basic of humans. Although not as strong as the powerful human species in the cosmic starry sky, they have the highest adaptability.”

He sighed, “This is not good news. To many cosmic civilizations, Initial Humans are considered the best lab materials, which is why they also fetch a high price with slave traders.”

Lab materials?

Lin Qing frowned slightly.

“The first time I came to know of how powerful those civilizations in the universe were, I wasn’t discouraged.”

Polucott continued, “The second time, the third time, the fourth… I’ve never been discouraged because I thought Earth’s civilization might not be without a chance to rise. But when I realized that weak civilizations like Earth mostly ended up extinct or sold as commodities, I truly wavered.”

He looked at Lin Qing, “Can you imagine? Those Initial Humans who look exactly like us, cut down batch after batch just like leeks, no different from selling vegetables.”

“Qi Lingxiao can’t save Earth, Chu Hongjun can’t either. Even if they could save some people, how many could they save?”

Polucott asked, “Apart from becoming a vassal to a powerful civilization, do you see any other resolution?”

Lin Qing remained silent.

“I rarely talk this much.”

Polucott slightly shook his head, sighed, and then pushed the contract on the table towards Lin Qing, “Have a look. With your abilities, you normally wouldn’t qualify to be an internal member of Intelligent Star Group, but as long as you attach yourself to the Yan Family, there might be a chance for you to enter Intelligent Star Group in the future.”

Lin Qing glanced at it and said, “The Yuan family and the Rock Family have also invited me.”

“Don’t bother with them.”

Polucott said calmly, “Compared to the Yan Family, neither the Yuan family nor the Rock Family amount to much. Miss Yan Qingqing of the Yan Family is one of the most prominent figures among all three.”

“Oh?” Lin Qing remained impassive.

“Sign the contract.”

Polucott looked at Lin Qing and said, “Trust me, this is the biggest opportunity of your life.”

Lin Qing knew.

Once he signed the contract and after the verification of genes and other aspects, the Yan Family would upload the contract to the Second Cosmic Network.
