Chapter 629 - Deterring Them with Combat Might!
These two women could be considered to be beauties. According to Earths’ standards, they could be rated at least 90 marks. In their eyes, Hong Dali, an Earthling, was indeed not qualified to attract their attention. After all, whether it was their sight of the world, strength, appearance, and so on, they were not comparable.
This was the same as the ancient marriages which needed both parties to be of a different social level.
Shelley and Susan were at least people from a Level Five civilization that could go star trekking. But what about Hong Dali? He had only just entered the virtual world. In the eyes of these two women, that was no different from being an aboriginal.
We couldn’t ask a white-collar from modern society to go seduce a country bumpkin from a village, right? Also, the difference between them was even bigger than this example.
Deca’s father, Captain Graham, advised them. “Actually, I am not asking you two to really seduce him, you just have to make him fall in love with you. As long as you can seduce him to come onto our ship, that would be enough. As for what happens after that, that isn’t important by then. Holding him in suspense and not letting him gain any advantage of you two is instead better still. That way, we will be able to control him more easily.” He had quite an acute understanding of human nature, knowing that what was unobtainable was actually better.
“Then… Alright.” Hearing the Captain said that they wouldn’t really need to sacrifice their body, they didn’t resist this matter so much anymore. “We are only responsible for seducing him for a while, we won’t care about other things.”
After all, just seducing a country bumpkin and make him fall in love with them was quite an easy task. After he was really infatuated with them, they could easily order him to do anything, right? Since they didn’t really need to sleep with him, things were a lot easier—it must be said that Shelley and Susan were quite confident of their charisma, this could be seen from how the other workers on board the ship looked at them.
“Of course.” Hearing them agree, Graham instantly smiled and said, “That would be enough. After all, it would indeed be a waste to let that country bumpkin Hong Dali take advantage of beauties like the two of you.” Saying so, he gestured for them to leave. “Then, please go make the preparations. After Hong Dali contacts us, you guys will need to be ready to enter the virtual world.”
“Okay.” Shelley and Susan instantly retreated.
“Men, they are all bad birds.” After they walked to one side and sat down, Shelley glanced at the men nearby in disdain and said, “Look at their eyes, aren’t they just thinking of getting us onto their bed, Ptui!”
“Men are all animals who use their lower body to think, there’s nothing strange about that.” Susan nodded in agreement and said, “After all these years, they still act this way. It really makes me want to puke.”
Of course, naturally, no one would care about their emotions.
Currently, Captain Graham continued to instruct his orders. “Currently speaking, this Hong Dali can control animals, we definitely have to obtain him. As for the other people on Earth, I believe that they are all just ordinary humans, they are not meaningful to us. We can capture some good-looking ones to sell away as slaves. As for the rest, we can ask them to work for us.”
As he was saying this… “Di Di Di—” The communicator on Deca’s waist sounded. He took a look and instantly smiled and said, “Father, Hong Dali is contacting me.”
“Haha, that’s quite fast. Then, let’s begin making a detailed plan.” Graham raised his hand and everyone nearby instantly gathered around him.
Graham slowly said, “This time, Deca will bring Shelley and Susan to meet with Hong Dali first to seduce him. At the same time, see if Hong Dali brought anyone else with him.” He looked at Deca and said, “Deca, you must introduce Shelley and Susan to Hong Dali immediately when you see him. Then, the second step is for you to secretly observe if Hong Dali brought others with him. If he did, immediately contact us.”
Deca nodded and said, “Okay. I understand, Father.”
Shelley and Susan: “Understood, Captain.”
Graham continued to instruct. “Remember, our objective is to collect as much information from them as we can. At the same time, we must deter them with our combat might! We must make them understand we can travel in the stars, our technology is much more advanced than theirs. At the same time, our single combat ability is also far above them! We must make them afraid of opposing us, only then could we conquer them without any cost! Therefore, this time, all of the best fighters on our ship shall go too.”
“OK!” Everyone cheered.
Then, Graham wore a spectacle with purple lenses and started choosing. “Moen, step forward!”
“Here!” Moen was a sturdily-built man about 2.1 meters tall. He had brown skin with tiny scales growing on it. His muscles were bulging out and there were three white vertical stripes on his face, and his lower jaw protruded out at least an inch long. He was very fierce looking!
After Moen stepped out, the spectacle that Graham was wearing displayed his basic stats: “Strength: 498, Agility: 326, Reflexes: 424.”
“Condition is not bad.” Graham continued, “Gahill, step forward!”
“Here!” This was a male with purple skin. He was the strongest one out of these mercenaries. He was 1.9 meters tall and his stats were: Strength: 452, Agility: 415, Reflexes: 394.
“Yup, you haven’t stopped exercising recently.” Graham nodded and said, “The two of you are currently the most powerful single combat warriors we have now. After we reach the place, we shall rest first. After Deca sent back his news, we shall hold a small combat competition and let Hong Dali see our single combat prowess! As long as we completely overpower them and make them afraid, we will definitely meet much less resistance when colonizing them.” Saying so, he looked at Moen and Gahill. “By that time, show them your best and make the fight a spectacular one, understand?”
“Understood!” Moen and Gahill replied, “We promise to complete the mission, Leader!”
After that, Graham chose another ten plus strong people from his ship. After all of them were assembled, Graham said, “This time we are meeting them in the virtual world, our aim is to shock them with our strength and make them lower their heads in front of us. That will make colonizing their planet a lot easier for us! In this Universe, combat strength is always the most important factor in diplomacy. The weaker one isn’t qualified to negotiate! Do you all understand me?”
“We understand!”
“Then.” Graham violently waved his hand and said, “Gather our most elite soldiers and move out! Deca, bring the probe glasses, go gather information with Shelley and Susan. The soldiers will be in charge of going to the nearby forest and see if there is anything valuable. If they discover something like attribute stones, remember to report back first thing! I and the rest will find a spot to wait for news. If there’s no problem, we shall prepare for a beautiful diplomatic through combat force!”
“Yes, Sir!”
…
On Earth, in the virtual world.
“So boring…” Hong Dali sat on the floor biting on a grass stalk. This virtual world was really lifelike, there was practically no difference to the real world. At least, he never discovered any difference so far.
The sky was blue, the Sun was warm, the water was clear and completely unpolluted. The stones could be moved around, the grass stalks could be bitten, the animals could be controlled…
“Bored already?” The Bureau Chief sat beside Hong Dali and said, “Speaking of which, the interaction with the aliens today could decide whether we will be going to war with them or not in the future, aren’t you nervous at all?”
“What’s there to be nervous for?” Hong Dali answered matter-of-factly, “If they really want to fight, no matter what we do, we will need to fight. If they don’t want to fight, we wouldn’t end up in a fight no matter what happens. Actually, I feel that Deca is an amusing idiot too, my impression of him is quite good. Sigh, Uncle Chief, speaking of which, if we really fight with them, is it that I have to take part in the fight too?”
“What do you think?” The Bureau Chief smiled and looked at Hong Dali. “When a threat to our entire race is coming, everyone has to take up a gun and fight, you can’t escape from this kind of thing. It’s either having freedom or being a slave, there’s no third option. That’s why I hope that we won’t have to fight. If not… I fear that a lot of people will die.”
“Oh.” Hong Dali thought for a while and said, “If we really end up in a fight, do I have to kill people too? Oh my, that’s really scary!”
“Is that how being afraid looks like?” The Bureau Chief felt like strangling this rascal to death. “Why do I feel like you are wishing for them to come at once? Look at your expression!”
“That’s for sure.” Hong Dali gave a long yawn. “Actually, I am really quite curious. That’s aliens, after all. It’s said that their women are all very pretty!”
“What has that got to do with you!?” If Hong Dali said something else, that would still be fine. But talking about this, the Bureau Chief couldn’t stand listening to him anymore. “Do you still lack pretty women? Do you have ideas on any of them?”
“I just want to play for two more years.” Hong Dali hurriedly changed the topic. “Haha, haha, let’s not talk about this…”
…
About a few hundred meters from the forest.
Wang Daoming carried little Bai Hechou and brought along Levis, Blood Demon, and Christina with him as he wandered around. Very quickly, they found a suitable place.
It was an empty space in the forest. Actually, just this alone was nothing much, what was really satisfying was that in the center of the empty space was a big stone slate with a diameter of about 20 meters!
The stone slate was about ten centimeters thick. Its surface wasn’t very even, but it was good enough.
Levis praised. “Teacher, this stone slate is really excellent, why don’t we practice here. It’s said that our wounds will heal very quickly in the virtual world, and even if we die, we will be resurrected very quickly.”
“That’s right, Teacher.” Blood Demon was also very excited. Honestly speaking, he really wanted to challenge Levis to a real fight for once. “I have wanted to fight with Levis for a long time. In the real world, I was afraid of being injured, so I didn’t dare to. But here, I am not afraid. This is a very good chance, it would be a waste if we don’t make use of it.”
Little Bai Hechou laughed and pulled Wang Daoming’s eyebrows. “Ye Ye, play!”
“Alright.” Seeing that everyone was in the mood, Wang Daoming didn’t reject it. He instantly nodded and said, “Then let’s play here. You guys fight first, try not to use killing moves. Although we can revive here, we are not sure of how things really work and what the world is really like. Being injured is still fine, but if there are any severe side effects to dying, it will be very troublesome.”
“OK! I understand, Teacher.”
