CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 345 PLANET TRANSACTION (6K)

Under the giant tree, in a corner of the venue

Sekong Dili paced back and forth, clutching a communicator tightly. He occasionally lowered his head to look at the screen and then raised it to gaze in a certain direction, the tension fully etched on his face.

He seemed to be eagerly awaiting a call on the communicator, yet fearing the arrival of something else.

"My Lord Envoy, do we really need to go this far?

When you first took out this planet’s contract, defying everyone, you already faced a lot of attacks, being criticized as a traitor. Now you want to put up more planets as a bargaining chip..."

The attendant beside him spoke in a low concerned voice. He had been following Sekong Dili for many years. Beyond the many years of emotions, purely speaking of his binding with Sekong Dili, if Sekong Dili fell, he would also be in trouble.

Yet, at this moment, more than anything it was out of concern for Sekong Dili’s future.

Sekong Dili just shook his head and nodded slightly, his tone somewhat irritable:

"You don’t understand...

From the day Fan Mao chose this planet as a garrison, our control over it has virtually ceased to exist.

Giving it away to exchange for friendship is just going with the flow, and it’s even just an opportunity to communicate with the other party.

Even the higher-ups can see this clearly.

Moreover, with Lord Fanmao having chosen the garrison within our civilization, we have the unique advantage of using the planet as a bargaining chip.

Do you believe that if another civilization, like Rabis, had the chance to offer a planet, they would hesitate at all?

So haven’t you noticed that those who oppose can only talk, but in reality, there’s no action?"

Sekong Dili didn’t care whether his attendant understood or not, continuing to explain:

"But that was just the original situation, now things have changed when Lord Fanmao displayed those plants.

Moreover, there are people from Rabis coming in to compete.

Whether it’s the Transcendent plants or those training spots, we must get them, but we don’t have many chips to put out...

Your level now does not have the clearance to know some secrets, we at Sebo are not in as good a position as it seems.

Compared to putting out a large amount of resources, directly using a planet as a bargaining chip is more cost-effective.

As long as Lord Fanmao accepts these planets, even if they are made independent, they are ultimately still within our territory.

Isn’t it thus a certain level of binding between Lord Fanmao and us?

Haha, besides, if the value of a planet doesn’t consider the additional value as territory itself, excluding those rare resource planets, it doesn’t really amount to much.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t sell the usage rights or even the mining rights.

And as for territory..."

Sekong Dili’s voice paused, considering his identity, it wasn’t suitable to continue speaking about such things, at least he couldn’t admit or reveal them from his mouth.

However, to have reached this step, the attendant also wasn’t without any political sensitivity.

Territory is neither big nor small, almost entirely dependent on words.

As long as Sekong Dili could bring back enough benefits, then this, of course, would just be a normal land trade.

These kinds of things are common from planet-level civilizations to the top three civilizations, and even they have similar systems of private land ownership internally.

The biggest difference is that this time the traded land is particularly large, reaching planet-level.

And since it’s a trade, it naturally doesn’t relate to territorial sovereignty or national dignity.

But really, compared to their star-system-sized territories, those planets are hardly even dandruff.

To ordinary people, a planet is enormous, but from a civilization’s point of view, its value is limited.

It’s just that if Sekong Dili fails to bring back enough benefits this time, then he has probably reached the end of his position...

"But..."

Before the attendant could finish, Sekong Dili felt the communicator in his hand vibrate, hastily raising one hand to interrupt him and with the other hand, he tapped the communicator to check.

"Great! The higher-ups have agreed!

A total allocation of twelve planets, including two resource planets and five Life planets!

With these planets as bargaining chips..."

With a boulder lifted off his heart, Sekong Dili didn’t have a few seconds to be happy before calming down again.

These planets, although of considerable value, in reality, whether the transaction could happen depended on whether Fan Mao was really interested.

After all, now they were the ones pleading with Lord Fanmao to trade; if Fan Mao didn’t recognize the value of these planets, he could only honestly trade with resources.

Perhaps it was heaven’s favor, but he didn’t have to wait long before getting the news he wanted.

In the direction he was just frequently looking, a youthful-looking female crossed the crowd to approach him:

"Lord Fanmao is very interested in your proposal, inviting you to meet in person, please follow me."

After saying this, the youthful female turned and walked ahead, leaving Sekong Dili and his attendant to exchange glances, seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes.

It worked!

Quickly calming the excitement in his heart, Sekong Dili nodded at his attendant, clutching the documents in his hand, turned around and followed behind the female just now, heading towards the giant tree whose top couldn’t be seen.

.........

A few minutes later, inside the giant tree

"Go on, Miss Fan Mao is inside. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t be accompanying you."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Sekong Dili replied somewhat constrainedly, watching the guiding female walk away, his tense body finally relaxing a bit.
