"Your reason... doesn't convince me." Zhao Chen shook his head.
Spider Queen Elise thought for a moment, looked at Zhao Chen with her beautiful eyes, sized him up and down and said, "Then I can marry you and be your woman."
"Of course, I need to see your starship technology first. Not all of them, but at least one to prove your capabilities."
cough cough cough
Zhao Chen was taken aback.
Lilith, who was standing nearby, was even more stunned and immediately stepped forward, saying, "This won't do!"
"Why not?"
Are you worried that I am of a different race than your commander?
It's alright. Our tribal history records that humans and our tribe can reproduce together.
The child born can also be chosen, using genetic technology, to resemble both the father and mother, and both will be healthy.
If you don't like my lower body, it's fine to turn off the lights.
"And you are my first man." Spider Queen Elise blinked and said frankly.
When the harpy Aviana heard Elise's words, her face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
What just happened?
Did I miss something?
How... how did we suddenly end up talking about this kind of thing?
Lilith's expression changed drastically.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen immediately said, "Ahem, there's no need to talk about this."
I can trust you for now, but it's not realistic for me to hand over all the technology and production to you.
Let's put the issue of trust aside for now.
I already have an engineer specifically in charge of this aspect of the business.
In fact, from the moment Elise, the Spider Queen, boarded the starship, Zhao Chen knew that she had no hostility towards him; this was the effect of the system's cheat code.
He was surprised at the time, but now that he understands her thought process, he finally gets it.
This is a starship technology enthusiast with an artist's gene.
"Who? Who can be better than our Spider Queen tribe in industrial production?" Spider Queen Elise pressed.
“Interstellar Dwarves,” Zhao Chen replied.
Although my Annie is a bit slow-witted and eats a bit too much, she sometimes complains about her boss, saying he sells her personal merchandise behind her back.
However, he is still hardworking and conscientious in his work.
"Interstellar dwarves? They certainly have excellent craftsmanship in this area."
However, our capabilities are completely different.
In terms of industrial production capacity, one spider from our Spider Queen tribe is equivalent to three dwarves.
"However, in terms of technological research and development, we are not as good as the interstellar dwarves," Elise the Spider Queen analyzed, her analysis surprisingly objective and unbiased.
"Then how about this, you arrange for me to meet with the engineers from the interstellar dwarves."
"Then you can see who's better," Elise the Spider Queen suggested to Zhao Chen.
Is this... trying to steal Annie's job?
Zhao Chen couldn't help but smile; he had to admit that the suggestion was quite good.
On the one hand, if the Spider Queen tribe can really join, it can alleviate the pressure on the Star Dwarves. On the other hand, it can also create a competitive environment, and healthy competition can lead to better development of an industry.
"I agree with this suggestion, but the industrial base is in my Xiaolong system."
"As the ruler of the Spider Queen tribe, won't it affect you if you leave your tribal territory for an extended period of time?" Zhao Chen asked.
Spider Queen Elise shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing."
The Dragonkin tribe has always been very lenient with us. As long as we deliver the corresponding number of interstellar warships and industrial products on time, they don't bother with our affairs at all.
As for me... the reason I came out this time is to tackle a technical problem in the workshop, and no one is allowed to disturb me.
Such things happen frequently, and no one suspects anything.
I am very interested in your industrial base!
Elise the Spider Queen's eyes were filled with fanaticism, as if she were a mad believer.
"Then we'll put your matter aside for now."
Zhao Chen then looked at the harpy Avina.
I thought the most difficult person to deal with this time would be Elise, the Spider Queen.
Unexpectedly, the first one to be dealt with was Elise, the Spider Queen.
Now it's naturally Aviana's turn.
Let's get straight to the point.
You should be able to guess why I invited you here.
I heard before that you had contact with Charlotte, so I think you have a good impression of the Revolutionary Army... which is now the Beast Alliance.
"So, I hope you can now stand on our side and support us." Zhao Chen looked at the harpy Avina.
The harpy Avina lowered her head and remained silent.
It's clear she's really torn right now.
"I know you're hesitant and conflicted right now, worried about what will happen if we fail after you join us."
I understand your concern.
Before that, all I need is your sincere statement; I don't need you to publicly declare your support for me on behalf of your tribe.
This also applies to the Spider Queen tribe.
I can give you time to think it over, but it won't be long.
Because, as you know, what happens next...
"We will have a direct confrontation with the Dragonkin tribe, and you will definitely have to make a choice then." Zhao Chen looked at the harpy Avina.
“I...I...” the harpy Avina hesitated.
At this moment, Elise, the Spider Queen, interjected, "I suggest that you come with me to the Owl Dragon system, Avina."
I know that the Harpy tribe is actually peace-loving, but due to the circumstances, they were forced to become one of the top twenty tribes and became the target of everyone's hatred, yet they did not receive the treatment they deserved.
Just imagine, the territory of a large tribe is only 30% of a star field!
Your Excellency, why not let her go and see for herself the system and environment of your Xiaolong?
If it truly suits the Harpy tribe, then I believe Avina will naturally make her choice then.
Zhao Chen's eyes lit up. Elise was quite clever; she had even come up with a solution for him.
“Avina, I invite you to visit the Dragon Star System. Would you like to come with Elise?”
Don't worry, it won't be long, and you can come back anytime you want.
"I will also ensure your safety," Zhao Chen said sincerely.
The harpy Avina bravely raised her head at this moment, whether because of Zhao Chen's invitation or because of Elise's words just now, it was unclear.
She clenched her fist and said, "I...I am willing to visit the Xiaolong system."
If... truly your... system... and environment are more suitable for our Harpy tribe.
And...we can have a fair and safe living environment.
I... am willing to consider your suggestion.
In fact, Aviana also wanted to change the status quo of the Harpy tribe.
But to be honest, their racial talents are like those of low-level laborers; even if they are not needed, there are substitutes.
It's completely different from the high-tech jobs of the Spider Queen tribe.
This has led to their drastically different treatment.
"Alright, then I'll make the arrangements for your visit."
It should be in the next day or two.
"Let's go and come back as soon as possible," Zhao Chen said.
Thus, the schedule for Elise the Spider Queen and Avina the Harpy to visit the Dragon Star System was arranged.
The two will visit a galaxy that they could never have imagined!
