Chapter 552 -405: Not Good, Found 12 Noob Civilizations! _2
They did not know about “Soul” or “Divine Skills” transforming into Spirit Essence, not even the concept of “Spirit Essence” had formed yet.
12 Noob Civilizations, mutual contacts among complete beginners, they had even formed confidence.
In a situation where civilizational conflicts had never erupted, indeed, they would tend to cooperate and exchange…
They even deeply believed that their set of procedures was quite reasonable.
Of course, the Dark Steel Civilization also kept a precaution, this time the meeting location “Shitong Fortress” was outside the Grotto Heaven, a large defensive building constructed within a mountain peak.
Even if the other party really had ill intentions, as long as the location of “Grotto Heaven” wasn’t exposed, the risks remained controllable.
...
…
Thus, human drones, following the insect-shaped aircraft of the Underground Alliance, flew a distance of about 25 kilometers.
They followed steadily, flying into a dark and damp cave, leisurely moving inside.
The competition in technology had already begun from this moment!
If the drone technology wasn’t advanced enough, it would be easy to bump the propellers against the walls, which would be quite embarrassing.
What’s more crucial was the drone’s signal!
These intricate and winding caves blocked most of the radio signals, at this time, it would most likely need some supernatural fluctuations within the idealist field to appropriately control it.
(If it were purely physical, it wouldn’t be impossible, but that would require neutrino-level communication capabilities, which is a method of interstellar civilizations.)
The Underground Alliance had spent more than eighty years to solve this difficult problem through idealist methods.
Seeing that human drones were following stably without any signs of losing control,
All members of the Underground Alliance felt a chill in their hearts.
“This unknown alien civilization has quite strong idealist capabilities…”
…
For humans, it was yet another mindset.
Everyone concentrated and watched intently.
Guarding cautiously against the alien civilization.
The scene inside the narrow path was a bit dark…

There were some fern-type plants on the walls, as well as traces of liquid acid corrosion and gunpowder bullet marks.
But occasionally, one could also see surveillance devices and some gun muzzles, presumably flame ejection devices.
“This place is truly like a labyrinth… Without their guidance, we’d never find it in our lifetimes,” Lu Yuan sighed.
“But the engineering is substantial, an underground fortress.”
“The other party must have been operating it for a long time.”
Turning a corner, the surroundings suddenly became spacious and bright!
The area of this large room was about 100 square meters, inside there were some potted landscapes of fern-type plants, needing only a minimal amount of light for these plants to grow.
There was a lamp on the ceiling.
A large round table was placed in the room.
Some alien life forms were gathered around the large round table.
Displayed on the big screen was a not very tall, but exceptionally burly human-shaped creature, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, muscular.
He was staring with wide eyes at the human drone, seriously picked it up, solemnly placed it on the table, put his hands together forming a cross above his head, slightly bowed — this seemed to be a ritual?
Then he picked up a pen, wrote some language characters on the blackboard behind him, and said some strange language.
“Yamaha he that!”
The voice seemed rough, like the ‘dong dong dong’ of forging iron.
“Maybe it’s a greeting?” a translation expert, ears perked up, “He’s introducing himself… something… Underground Alliance? I’m trying to discern.”
And behind this humanoid creature, there were other strange-shaped races, like lizard shapes, pangolin shapes, snake-man shapes, octopus shapes.
There were also more robustly built Minotaurs, one carrying a large black axe on his back, solemnly watching, a Minotaur with a long scar on his face.
There were even Elf-type humanoids.
Their ears were pointed, bodies slender, skin bluish-grey, possibly female?
Between a species, the size difference between males and females is truly eye-opening.
Next, a group of female elves placed delicacies and fine wines on the table…
The variety of food is plentiful, including mushrooms, as well as fruits, vegetables, rice, meat, and such, looking fairly normal.
As for the fine wines… also quite clear, not sure what they were made from.
In short, this alien civilization is inviting the humans in their own way.
“Great Commander, it seems like they are inviting us over to establish friendly diplomatic relations?”
“Friendly?”
“Probably something like that.”
A translator, frowning, tried hard to analyze the alien languages, which were probably using the Divine Skill “Translation.”
If it were face-to-face communication, it would be easy to understand.
But now, filtered through a drone, the signal distorted, making it hard for humans to understand.
“Our machine does not have a sound emitting device.”
Command central was somewhat silent, a bit unclear about the situation.
What’s going on?
Why suddenly are there so many races?
Lu Yuan counted, a total of twelve different races?
That’s more than all the races they had encountered over the years combined!
But for this civilization to outright start with talks of cooperation seemed very odd.
Is it not normal for civilisations to be wary of one another when they meet? At least gambling, at worst sparking a civilization war, killing each other?
Aren’t you afraid I’ll capture and finish you off?
Gradually, a keyword emerged in people’s minds.
Noob… Civilizations?
Is this a civilization that knows nothing… or, 12 civilizations?
Even Lu Yuan, who had undergone much and shifted from lawful good to chaotic evil, was baffled, feeling as if these creatures weren’t aware it’s the era of living in Zhuyuan Star, still caring about “etiquette and morals.”
While humans… had long fallen, always assuming the worst intentions towards other civilizations.
Lu Yuan felt a strange emotion in his heart; when he first encountered the Rize Civilization, those lizard people, they too warmly welcomed him, even inviting him to settle permanently…
The more he knew, the more corrupted he became.
Others in the meeting room were also a bit taken aback.
“Are these female creatures? They look a bit like Green Grass People, just with darker, cooler-toned skin… but they look quite nice,” a soldier murmured softly.
“It’s normal, humans have close relatives… Green Grass People naturally also have close relative races…”
Because Miss Conch is the collective mother of everyone, young people generally feel quite close to Green Grass People.
Especially Old Lu, upon seeing those slim dark elves, he increasingly missed the maid at home.
It had been nearly a year since he’d been home, only able to make occasional phone calls, meeting in dreams…
Frontline investigations are indeed tough.
Lu Yuan vigorously shook his head to clear these thoughts: “Okay everyone, let’s not focus on appearances and looks, they aren’t important in the context of civilization exchange.”
“The creatures in front of us are highly likely to be noob civilizations… it might even be a bunch of noob civilizations, because only noobs, who know nothing, can live together in harmony!”
“They hide underground, taking advantage of when the Insect Race is weak, to pick some mushrooms… this kind of situation is understandable.”
His expression turned serious: “Of course, we cannot exclude the possibility that these races are enslaved by something, pretending to be noobs here to catch us off guard! These are possibilities!”
“So, should we make contact? What value does a noob civilization hold for us?”
“I need to know the answer immediately!”
After a brief discussion, everyone shared their opinions, and in the end, it was considered…
Necessary to make contact.
