"Three for one?" Han Xiao was shocked.

The empire seems to have really spent a lot of money. In terms of quantity alone, it is indeed very sincere.

A cosmic-level civilization has the technology to create cosmic treasures, and coupled with years of accumulation, it has a very solid foundation.

Becolodi touched the table, and a virtual screen popped up in front of Han Xiao.

"This is the exchange list provided by the Empire. You can choose three from it."

Han Xiao took a look and knew in his heart that the cosmic treasures on the list were not the empire's entire wealth.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "What if I want other cosmic treasures from the empire?"

"If you want to exchange for cosmic treasures that are not on the list, there is no three-for-one treatment. Some of the strategic cosmic treasures that are more important to the empire cannot be exchanged with you. You have to understand this...other than that

In addition, if you have a request for customized cosmic treasures, you can also submit it to the empire, which requires review." Becolodi said.

This is quite what I expected... Han Xiao nodded.

If you think about it, you will know that the three-for-one treatment mentioned by the empire is definitely not unlimited. It is impossible to exchange the evolution cube with its own strategic-level cosmic treasure.

Most of the items that are willing to be exchanged are cosmic treasures that can be used individually and are of little help to civilization as a whole.

The importance of cosmic treasures depends on the specific function. In Han Xiao's view, this thing is just like a magic weapon. The top ones are some unsolvable wonders of the universe, such as space-time amber. There are various man-made cosmic treasures, such as Austin's secret method.

Temple, Beoni's Fire Core Land, Glorious High-Dimensional Apocalypse Teleporter, Void Spirit's Scepter of the Gods, etc., mainly depends on their respective effects.

The Evolution Cube is the core of technology created by the Evolver civilization with the whole family. The technology has long been lost, and it is equipped with a series of application technologies.

Now that the Ability God's legacy has been exposed, many advanced civilizations have obtained these technical data, which means that whoever gets the Evolution Cube can inherit part of the core technology of a quasi-universe civilization, which is completely exclusive and of great significance.

Han Xiao pondered, carefully browsing the exchange list again, secretly analyzing the pros and cons in his mind.

In the World Tree War in the previous life, the three major civilizations used a large amount of cosmic treasures in stock to arm Transcendent A Grades in the universe. Many cosmic treasures on the list have shown effects.

The majority of them are magic equipment and mechanical weapons, most of which are single combat equipment, armor, near and far combat weapons, special devices, etc. There is also a complete golden suit made by the "magic craftsman" Thorne, ranking second in the list.

The fifth place among the top 100 legendary works.

A small part of them are cosmic treasures with special functions. Han Xiao basically knew about them in his previous life. For example, a thing called a shadow lantern. The wick is a fragment of the source energy of the shadow dimension. The "light" it emits is the shadow. It has many special functions. The main effect is

It can open a dimensional portal, transform the area into a dangerous shadow dimension, change the nature of things in the area, and allow weird shadow creatures to continuously come.

Another example is the Key of Destruction, which is one of the representative technologies of the Red Empire. It can be mass-produced and can be used by ordinary people. The effect is to remotely call in the firepower of various armies of the empire.

This requires the cooperation of the Imperial Army. Most of the Imperial Army are equipped with supporting devices of the Key of Destruction. Once the Key of Destruction is activated, a special energy storage space will be temporarily opened, and a channel will be formed outside the naval guns of these armies for several seconds.

It may take several minutes. During this period, the group army will receive the signal and immediately launch a volley of naval guns. All the energy fired will be transferred to this temporarily opened secondary dimension.

The Key of Destruction can open the passage at the other end, release a volley of naval guns at the location, and use powerful firepower to attack without blind spots. The range covers an extremely wide area, enough to clean everything in the area. The instantaneous explosive power is more powerful than the original psionic energy.

High...but because it is an indiscriminate attack, it is basically used in desperate counterattacks or situations where there are fewer enemies and more enemies.

Compared with the high-dimensional Apocalypse Teleporter, the Key of Destruction is not as flexible. It will be restricted by space stabilizing anchors, time and space magic, psionic energy restriction rings, etc., and may fail. However, it also has its own advantages, that is, it is portable and can be used in large quantities.

Product, no usage threshold.

Mortals can use it as long as they can operate it, but it is not for sale. The empire will only distribute it in batches when performing special tasks.

Caught off guard, ordinary Transcendent A Grades will also be killed by the terrifying firepower of the Key of Destruction. During the exploration calendar, the Empire used this technology to kill many Primes, leaving their corpses completely wiped out. However, as each

With the development of civilized space technology, the Key of Destruction is now a little outdated, and everyone will beware of the Empire's move.

In addition to these, there are also some miscellaneous things, such as the golden mechanical drawings left by the Transcendent A Grade mechanic, the magic forging drawings left by the magician, etc.

The empire has a lot of things in stock, and wants to exchange the unused cosmic treasures for evolution cubes.

As for things that the empire has not yet studied and understood, they will naturally not be put into the list. Han Xiao wanted to pick them up, but it was a pity that they did not give him a chance.

"How's it going? Have you made a decision?" After waiting patiently for a while, Becolodi asked.

"Well..." Han Xiao pondered for a few seconds and shook his head, "It's a bit sudden. I haven't thought about it yet. I can't give you an answer now. Let me think about it for a while."

"Well, yes." Becolodi nodded, his tone slightly lowered, "I believe that after careful consideration, you can make a wise choice, and do not let down the sincerity of the empire. I hope you can make a decision before the opening of Glittering World.

."

"decide as things go."

Han Xiao nodded in greeting, then stood up and followed the other party's secretary out of the room.

Leaving the government building and heading to the small base where I store my mechanical troops, I was thinking about the pros and cons along the way.

First of all, in terms of benefits, if you hand over the Evolution Cube, you can exchange for three cosmic treasures. According to the things shown in the list, what you get in exchange for the cosmic treasures should be combat-use. Of course, they have their uses, but you can exchange one strategic treasure for three.

Han Xiao always felt that the equipment used for fighting was a bit uninteresting.

It's like being at the end of the 20th century. He obviously has technical data for the future development of the Internet and has huge profit margins, but he trades the data for a few fighter jets... The metaphor may not be appropriate, but it feels like this to him.

.

It would be best to give it away for free...but that's a waste of money.

There are also additional benefits, that is, the Black Star Legion will no longer be at the forefront of the storm, Sorokin's Infinite Consortium will probably not continue to cause trouble, and there is no need to worry about another sudden attack by Glory and Void Spirit, which can lead to long-term stable development...

Past grievances are not included in this.

Han Xiao also analyzed what impact losing the Evolution Cube would have on himself.

The Evolution Cube is a unique strategic treasure. Although it has no combat effectiveness, its effect is reflected in all aspects of camp development. If it is handed over to the empire, the Black Star Legion will lose this camp specialty, and its attractiveness to players and other characters will inevitably decrease.

For example, Silver Shadow today would not be so enthusiastic towards him.

Now that Glittering World is the foundation, the interest alliance born from the cubes has gradually stabilized, but the business of the evolutionary cubes is still an important pillar of the legion's finances.

Handing over the cubes is equivalent to transferring the terrifying profits of the Evolutionary Totem to the empire... The expansion and maintenance of the Black Star Legion's current scale require continuous consumption of massive funds. Without the totem transaction, there will be a large wave of cash flow loss, resulting in the legion's

Shrinking the scale will slow down the speed of expansion no matter what, which is an inevitable result.

Although due to the covenant, the empire's meaning must be considered when using the evolution cube, the ownership is still yours. Once the ownership is lost, the meaning will be different.

This means that other forces no longer need to cooperate with the Black Star Legion. They can directly contact the empire to obtain the evolution cube services, and they are kicked out. This has more or less impact on the various businesses of the legion, resulting in financial losses.

Not limited to totem trading itself.

Moreover, if you want the services of the Evolution Cube in the future, you will have to exchange it from the empire in exchange for contribution points or money.

At the same time, without the uniqueness of the Evolution Cube, the influence of the Black Star Legion's camp will decline... No matter how famous you are and how good you are at fighting, if you can't give others the benefits they want, fewer people will buy it.

To sum up, if you hand over the evolution cube, it will be exponentially more difficult for the Black Star Legion to continue to grow.

Han Xiao also doesn’t know whether the empire has any deep intention to restrict the Black Star Legion from continuing to grow. Does he think that his legion has developed to this point and is enough? Logically speaking, it is not possible, but it is always difficult to guess the thoughts of the superiors.

.

Tool Nation is an example of allowing Tool Nation to grow bigger. Although Guanghui has no regrets, if it happens again, they may not want Tool Nation's power to expand to such an extent that it is difficult to control.

But if you reject the empire's proposal, you will also be in trouble.

From Becolodi's words, Han Xiao sensed a different subtext... The empire is eager to get the Evolution Cube. Does it already have the intention to make the totem sales rights public? Otherwise, why did it wait until now to bring it up.

After the opening of Glittering World, countless forces will pour in, which will inevitably have an impact on the empire. If the sales rights are opened at this time, in addition to gaining huge profits, the pressure on the empire will also be reduced sharply, and the control of Glittering World will become unbreakable, without fear of outsiders.

The impact... It’s hard to say. Han Xiao didn’t have enough information to determine what the empire was thinking.

If this is the case, then rejecting the proposal would disrupt the empire's strategic plan and be tantamount to ignorance.

Bekrodi showed "sincerity" on behalf of the empire. He spoke politely and his attitude was sincere, but in fact it was a disguised form of coercion. Once I refused, some of the empire's senior officials might think that I didn't know what was good and what was wrong, and they would be dissatisfied.

Great Technician Han believed that if he refused to hand over the Evolution Cube, the empire would not give up easily and would most likely take unknown follow-up measures.

It is impossible to snatch allies, but small tricks must be used one after another.

"It really posed a problem for me..."

Han Xiao sighed, unable to choose.

When the Evolutionary Totem was born, he knew that there would be trouble in the future, but the empire helped to bear the pressure, and after more than twenty years, the trouble finally caught up with him.

"I have to think about it carefully and contact Ulan Riel in a few days to find out more about it." Han Xiao secretly said.

…

Not long after Han Xiao left, a figure walked into Becolodi's conference room, it was Gothe.

More than ten years have passed, and after Gaode accumulated enough service experience abroad, he was recalled by the empire and formally trained with the same batch of potential natural disaster graders.

The birth of Transcendent A Grade is full of uncertain factors. Even the cosmic grade civilization cannot mass-produce it, so the methods adopted are basically to cast a wide net and cultivate batches of direct natural disaster grades at the same time.

Due to the huge talent base and advanced training methods, the conversion rate is not zero and the output interval is not fixed. This is how Dark Emperor Clottey was trained by the empire as a direct Transcendent A Grade.

At this time, Gothe was wearing a special imperial officer uniform without rank markings. He was thin and his appearance was no different from that of more than ten years ago.

"You're here, sit down." Becolodi saw him and nodded lightly.

Gao De sat where Han Xiao was sitting just now and smiled softly, "How was the conversation?"

"I don't know. It's best if Black Star agrees. It can save a lot of trouble."

"I don't think he will refuse such a good offer. Black Star is a smart man, and smart people understand current affairs." Gao De smiled and said nothing.

"It's hard to say. According to the Black Star character model analyzed by Heroic Soul, he is a typical profit seeker. Even three-for-one exchanges may not impress him. The probability of rejection reaches 63%." Becolodi shook his head and changed the topic, "

Let’s not talk about him, in short, no matter whether he agrees or not, in the end, you will need your superpower to analyze the principle of evolutionary energy."
