Superbase Evolution

Chapter 785 Do I agree?
Chi Jiu and others conducted very restrained negotiations with the representatives of the Diman tribe. In Lin Shen's opinion, this should not be called a negotiation, it would be more accurate to say it was bargaining.

The price offered by the Diman tribe was eleven designated basic transformation planets, but Chijiu and his men were only willing to exchange three basic transformation planets for the statue of the celestial being.

Lin Shen sometimes felt a little dazed when listening to this. This kind of bargaining using planets as currency could easily make people feel weird.

Tianxun is still working hard to become the true star master, and up to now the Giant Ring Star is not nominally completely ruled by her.

But just a statue can be exchanged for several planets.

The people on those planets will also be forced to leave their homes.

Those who can leave their hometown are already lucky, and those who cannot leave their hometown are actually sold together.

In the eyes of big clans like the Diman and the Tianren, a planet and the creatures on it are nothing more than numbers or commodities.

Lin Shen watched the two sides arguing fiercely, their faces flushed, and just sat quietly drinking tea beside them, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Chi Jiu secretly sneered in his heart: "I thought there was some purpose for coming here, but it turns out that you are just here to play dumb."

Chi Jiu was a top-level immortal, so naturally he looked down upon Lin Shen, a lackey from a small clan, and was even quite hostile towards him.

The Chi family has produced many famous generals, most of whom are guarding foreign borders or expanding territory for the Celestial Clan. However, it is difficult to pay the annual military expenditure in a timely manner. One of the most important reasons for this is that a large part of the Celestial Clan's money was squandered by Emperor Tianshu alone.

Lin Shen was the person chosen by the Emperor of Tianshu to help him make money. Not to mention Chi Jiu, there were not many people in the entire Tianren clan who had a good impression of Lin Shen.

If Lin Shen hadn't come here to take the blame, he wouldn't even look at Lin Shen, let alone talk to someone like Lin Shen.

Fortunately, Lin Shen was honest and did not cause them any trouble, so Chi Jiu was too lazy to say anything.

The negotiations went smoothly. Although we cannot say that we achieved the desired results, we finally reached a point that was within their acceptable range.

Finally, it was basically decided that the Celestials would welcome the Celestials back from the Dimans at the cost of seven planets.

The officials in charge of negotiations within the delegation all had a sense of accomplishment on their faces.

The Diman tribe was very persistent this time, but they broke the Diman tribe's bottom line time and time again, causing them to lower their asking price from eleven planets to the current seven planets, and finally negotiated the target price they needed.

Even Chi Jiu felt that they had finally tackled the tough bone that was the Diman tribe.

"Lord Lin, we have almost finished the discussion and can sign the agreement." Chi Jiu thought that it was a good thing that Lin Shen came, so they could sign the agreement directly.

"What price are you talking about?" Lin Shen, who was holding the water cup in a daze, seemed to have just come back to life and asked Chi Jiu.

Chi Jiu despised Lin Shen to the extreme, but still said: "After the efforts of all colleagues, now we only need to pay the price of seven planets, including Jiangyu Star and Chiguang Star, to welcome back the statue of the celestial being. After all, we have to ask the Emperor Barbarians for help. We have no innate advantages. The Emperor Barbarians are very persistent. To be able to discuss this to this extent, all colleagues have exhausted their efforts. It is not easy."

"It is because of Lord Ninth's proper strategy that we have room to perform." A group of officials said hurriedly.

Lin Shen watched them compliment each other as if they had won a battle, but he secretly sneered in his heart. Lin Shen stood up and walked to the negotiation table. The representative of the Diman tribe had already printed out the agreement and placed it in front of Lin Shen, waiting for him to sign and seal it to sign the contract.

Lin Shen sat on the chair, picked up the agreement on the table, looked at it, and then put it back on the table. When everyone thought he was going to sign, Lin Shen looked at the representative of the Diman tribe and said, "I don't think you have agreed to exchange the seven basic planets, such as Jiangyu and Chiguang, for the statue of the celestial being, right?"

"Captain Lin, what do you mean? Do you want to go back on your word?" The official of the Diman tribe suddenly became angry and slammed the table.

"Lin Shen, what are you doing?" Chi Jiu was angry and annoyed. He didn't expect that at this time, Lin Shen would jump out and cause trouble.

Lin Shen ignored him and just looked at the official of the Diman tribe and said, "I think you have some misunderstanding about the term 'going back on one's word'. If you agree to something and then go back on your word, that's called going back on one's word. Did I ever agree to it?"

"We have just talked with your delegation, Lord Chijiu, what exactly do you mean?" The official of the Diman tribe frowned and looked at Chijiu, obviously trying to put pressure on Chijiu and his team and to sow discord between them.

"You have negotiated with them, then sign with them." Lin Shen turned to look at Chi Jiu and other officials and said, "Whoever has negotiated with him, come and sign."

"Lin Shen, don't go too far. If you delay the important event of welcoming back the statue of the celestial being, you won't be able to bear the consequences." Chi Jiu said with a grim expression.

"If you won't delay the work, then you come and sign it." Lin Shen pushed the agreement in front of Chi Jiu.

There was no way Chi Jiu was willing to sign this thing. This kind of thing would definitely be recorded in the clan history. Even if nothing went wrong, he would become a laughing stock or even a sinner among the Celestial Clan, and he couldn't afford to take the blame.

"Do whatever you want." Chi Jiu's face was gloomy and he stopped talking.

"Lord Gran, it seems that it's not me who goes back on my word, but you didn't negotiate the price with me, the person in charge." Lin Shen said with a smile looking at the official of the Diman tribe.

"Lord Lin, what do you mean?" Gran stared at Lin Shen and asked.

"It's nothing special. I just want to have a good talk with you about the price." Lin Shen said.

"Seven radical-changing planets are our bottom line. We can't have any less." Gran said persistently.

"Okay, I like people who are straightforward. In that case, forget it." Lin Shen said as he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, Lord Lin, what exactly do you mean? It was you who wanted to purchase the statue of the celestial being, but now you want to go back on your word. Are you playing a trick on us, the Diman tribe?" Gran said angrily.

"I really want to buy the statue of the celestial being, and I am sincere in discussing it with you, but didn't you just say that we can't talk?" Lin Shen turned around and said to Gran.

Gran frowned slightly: "Master Lin, seven base-transformed planets are already the bottom line of our race. My authority only goes so far, and it cannot be reduced any further."

"Since your authority only goes so far, I suggest you contact someone with authority and tell them that my bottom line is that the three planets of Hanying, Qianliu and Iwanami will be exchanged for the statues of the gods." Lin Shen said.

When Lin Shen said this, everyone on both sides was stunned.

"How is this possible? How can we exchange these three planets for the statue of the God of Heaven? You are not only insulting our Diman tribe, but also insulting the statue of the God of Heaven, the sacred object of the Heavenly Tribe. Is it only worth those three broken planets?" Gran was very excited.
