CHAPTER 889: CHAPTER 338: THE ACTION PLAN ON BOTH SIDES (6K)_4

The installation of the giant tree was not difficult, as some instances in the Paradise World had other Avatars in charge, requiring her intervention only on a few planets in the Starry Sky.

Besides the few visible ones, there were additionally a few secret bases newly explored by the Insect Swarm during this time.

With Ju’s Teleportation combined with her superpower to personally nurture the giant tree, it didn’t take much time.

Once the installation of the giant tree was complete, she would return to handle the transformation at the research institute, so as not to waste any time.

Using the oracle to summon Ju, Bai Yi first communicated with the soul weapon and teleported away.

Before Ju took her to other planets, she would first weave the giant tree on Benlang Star...

Meanwhile, in the shallow underground

Receiving the command from the network, Vlad thought the time had finally come.

Continuing the work at hand, calculating the time, it was about right, so he put down those documents that needed approval and turned towards the temporary laboratory where they researched the Fungus Blanket.

These days, the research at the institute didn’t include him, but Vlad was always keeping an eye on their progress.

The prince wanted them to notice the presence of the Insect Swarm, but since the riddle was only the Fungus Blanket itself, the professors could only try all directions.

However, it seemed the main direction of effort was somewhat off course, focusing not on deep digging into the Fungus Blanket itself, but rather reflecting on its practical applications.

They seemed to be getting further from noticing the presence of the Insect Swarm.

But ultimately, it didn’t make much difference.

The prince’s goal was simply to temporarily "strongly anchor" the institute’s people in this research, preventing them from resisting the idea of joining the Red Moon Church, rather than genuinely expecting them to research any results.

"Is there any reason for calling me alone? The research on my end is still ongoing, you better have something worthwhile."

If it wasn’t Vlad’s turf here, he would’ve took direct action long ago after such an experimental interruption, yet even now, he didn’t hide the impatience on his face.

"Lord Gaye, are you still interested in our abilities?"

Vlad knew how to communicate with Gaye in research mode, directly presenting his purpose without any further detour.

"You, or rather, someone above agreed?"

Originally, Gaye seemed impatient, but upon hearing Vlad propose this, he immediately cast aside research matters.

After knowing there was someone behind Vlad, Gaye understood this decision was definitely not one Vlad could make alone, and this sudden agreement surely echoed intentions of those behind Vlad.

"Yes, we hope to establish deeper connections with the Truth Society and want to acquire some technology from them.

As a trade-off, we’re willing to let you research our abilities.

However, this requires the signing of a new Contract, promising not to disseminate our ability information in any way, for personal use only."

"No problem! What do you need? Should the Contract be signed now?"

Fearful Vlad might change his mind, Gaye agreed without a second thought.

"Rest assured, no rush, let’s find a place to slowly discuss the agreement details.

After all, I believe Lord Gaye wouldn’t want the experiment inside to be disturbed, right?"

Only then did Gaye remember he had an experiment on hand, quickly yelling inside the lab for the institute’s professor to take over his experiment, while dragging Vlad out of the research room.

Just as the two left, another person walked in immediately after.

"Professors and the dean, the Red Moon Church requests your presence."

......

The Three Great Civilizations: Commonly referred to as the Three Great Bullies, are the final victors left after the Chaotic Era, jointly representing the pinnacle of power in the Starry Sky, possessing the largest military strength and personal power in the Starry Sky. While having competition between them, at times, they also jointly strive for certain common goals...

[Note: I propose abolishing the Radiant Federation’s veto power!]

[Note of the note: The Radiant Federation exercised its veto power, no further discussion needed.]
