"The Galactic Alliance is led by the Star Empire, the Holy Empire of Radiance, and the United Warhammer Interstellar States, and includes several small and medium-sized interstellar civilizations.
But the ones who really have the right to speak are these three interstellar overlords.
In addition, the borders of the three interstellar civilizations happen to be bordered by the mechanical race, which can be said to be a bittersweet situation.
After this thousand-year war, the two sides have maintained a tug-of-war attitude, winning and losing each other, but neither of them was able to eliminate the enemy at once."
After Lilith said this, she looked at Zhao Chen: "The Chuhe Star Region in the Northern Star Region of the Starry Star Empire happens to be the area closest to the Machine Tribe, and it is maintained in a state of war readiness all year round.
The Governor of the Chuhe Star Region is also a five-star marshal, so this appointment is not without reason."
Zhao Chen looked at Lilith with great satisfaction. This girl has mastered a lot of knowledge during this time, and her brain is like a small computer.
"Although the route we are escorting this time is close to the war zone.
However, mechanical starships rarely appear in this area, and there is no need to attack our small interstellar transport fleets.
So normally, there shouldn't be much risk in this escort mission." Lilith expressed her thoughts.
"That's the theory, but I don't know why I always have a very bad feeling after seeing that Master Chief." Zhao Chen rubbed his temples.
Lilith consoled her: "Maybe it's because, Commander, it's your first time in this kind of environment, so you will be a little nervous."
"Maybe." Zhao Chen stopped himself from thinking too much.
Anyway, no matter what happens then, he no longer has the right to choose.
The consequences of temporarily giving up the imperial army's bounty mission will be very serious. It is even possible to directly inform Zhao Chen's academy. Not to mention skipping a grade, whether Zhao Chen can successfully graduate is one thing.
"Commander, there is something that can divert your attention. You will definitely be interested." Lilith said suddenly.
"What's going on?" Zhao Chen was curious.
Lilith raised her hand, and a holographic screen appeared. It was a little girl only 1.2 meters tall, with Zhao Chen's familiar slave shackles around her neck.
slave?
Is this an underage girl slave?
"Why do you think I'm interested in this?" Zhao Chen looked at Lilith with a dark face. What behavior on his part caused Lilith to misunderstand him like this?
"Ah? Aren't you interested?" Lilith was surprised.
Zhao Chen had a complicated expression and didn't know how to explain it to Lilith.
"This is a dwarf tribe. I thought the commander would be more interested."
"Dwarves?" Zhao Chen immediately came back to his senses and pointed at the 1.2 meter girl: "Isn't this an underage girl?"
"Underage?" Lilith shook her head: "Of course not, she is already an adult. She is even a few years older than you, Commander, but because of their racial genes.
The height of the dwarves is only one meter and three at most, and the short ones are even only one meter."
It turns out that it was not Lilith who misunderstood her.
"Why are you showing me this?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
Lilith called up the information about the dwarves: "The dwarves are one of the rare interstellar races like the succubi. They were also a powerful interstellar civilization a long time ago, but were later defeated by other interstellar civilizations.
The dwarves have also become an interstellar wandering race without a territory.
Dwarves do not have strong bodies and are not good at fighting; but they are natural technical engineers! They are best at researching various technologies.
Their ability to learn science and technology is several times that of other interstellar races.
Half of the current dwarves work in interstellar industrial factories or scientific research institutes of various interstellar civilizations.
They have the nickname ‘Star Craftsmen’!”
Zhao Chen instantly understood what Lilith meant: "You want me to recruit her!"
Lilith nodded: "Currently, what our Xiaolong fleet lacks the most is this kind of technical talent. Although the two T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships currently have a group of orc repairmen and engineers in charge.
But it is obvious that their abilities can only be regarded as passing, and they cannot fully exert the efficiency of the T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ship.
If there are interstellar craftsmen here, I think it may be able to greatly increase the work efficiency of our interstellar industrial ship!"
Zhao Chen rubbed his chin: "It makes sense, but with just such a dwarf, the number would be too small."
"The number of one dwarf is indeed small, but maybe she can help us contact other dwarves? We can try it." Lilith suggested.
"What you said makes sense, we don't have anything else to do anyway.
How to buy this dwarf?" Zhao Chen asked.
"This is a product that appears directly on the slave list of the Galaxy 3 network. It sells for 3,000 star coins. You can directly contact the owner of the product to purchase it." Lilith said, calling up the detailed information.
Three thousand star coins.
This is much more expensive than Zhao Chen's previous purchase of a hundred orc slaves including Charlotte.
If it had been before, Zhao Chen would have been in pain for a while.
But now, Zhao Chen's eyelids were blinking.
"Wait...this person..." Zhao Chen saw the owner of the cargo, who turned out to be someone he was familiar with.
"After you negotiate with the other party and determine the price, I'll go get the person back," Zhao Chen said.
"OK."
Lilith went to negotiate with the other party, and the other party responded quickly.
Both parties quickly agreed to a deal of three thousand star coins.
Zhao Chen took a look at the transaction address and left the starship to pick up someone.
In a private room of a tea restaurant in Starport, a dwarf was pushed in.
"Boss, the goods you want... Hey, it's you!" The woman in leather clothes looked at Zhao Chen in front of her, very surprised.
"What a coincidence." Zhao Chen had discovered before that it was the woman in leather clothing who sold the dwarf.
"I didn't expect the handsome guy to like this kind of guy." The woman in leather clothes looked at Zhao Chen with a half-smile.
"Ahem... let's trade directly." Zhao Chen directly proposed the trade.
The woman in leather didn't waste any time. After the three thousand star coins arrived, she pushed the dwarf in front of Zhao Chen and threw a button to Zhao Chen, which was the controller of the slave collar.
"Handsome guy, are you interested in adding someone else?" After the transaction was completed, the woman in leather clothes began to tease Zhao Chen again and licked her red lips.
"Sorry, I don't have that idea.
I want to inspect the goods now, can you please..." Zhao Chen issued an eviction order.
The woman in leather clothes was not angry either. She had made a business of three thousand star coins. It was too late for her to be happy.
Although that dwarf was very special, no one had been willing to buy it for three thousand star coins. Just when she thought it was going to be sold at a reduced price, Zhao Chen appeared.
"The little handsome guy is slowly inspecting the goods, yes... this is still a baby... be careful. If it doesn't work, I can help." The woman in leather walked to the door and did not forget to test it again.
"No need." Zhao Chen said.
The woman in leather gave him a puzzled look and walked out of the box.
Zhao Chen looked at the dwarf who timidly huddled in the corner after he came in.
It looked very small from the holographic image before, but now it feels even smaller in person.
It’s hard to believe that someone with such a small physique can actually be an interstellar craftsman?
"What's your name?" Zhao Chen asked.
The female dwarf shrank down and whispered: "Annie..."
Zhao Chen stretched out his hand to the dwarf Annie, and the female dwarf immediately shrank her head timidly, like a frightened little mouse.
Gu Gu Gu Gu...
At this time, her stomach made a sound.
"Is your stomach growling?" Zhao Chen asked knowingly.
"No...it's not..." Anne said in a mosquito-like voice.
Zhao Chen stretched out his hand: "Then you come with me, I will take you to eat delicious food."
When she heard that there was delicious food, Annie raised her head and looked at Zhao Chen with her big watery eyes.
For some reason, this scene made Zhao Chen feel guilty.
