Chapter 231 Negotiation and Impact

"Look, that equipment... could it be?"

With a solemn look of black, gold and red, diamond-faceted shoulder pads and golden masks, the team of the Interstellar Peace Company is like a scavenger who has strayed into a pond, suppressing the festive atmosphere and sparking discussion.

A formation of twelve people, holding orange energy weapons, naturally protected Topa in the center and walked unimpeded on the street, of course, with permission.

Some employees of the Interstellar Peace Company in the queue looked at the people around them as if they had seen a ghost, and a sense of superiority arose spontaneously.

"(Look at these natives who have never seen power armor. They will be scared to death when they see other weapons...)"

"(Of course! Once the energy weapon is revealed, they won't treat it as some kind of "divine weapon", right? Hahaha)"

On the company's internal private communication network, several employees were communicating recklessly.

But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore...

"It can't be the new look of the Silver Mane Guards, hahaha! They are so dark and look like security guards. Who came up with this?"

"That's right, even the city's automated soldiers know to hang a red ribbon on themselves. I can only give this look three points at most..."

"This weapon looks too fake, is it waterproof?"

"I suggest the modeler re-run the renderings..."

The residents of Yalilo did not regard the appearance of Topa and his group as a threat. Instead, they regarded it as a performance costume during the festival, and commented on the company's employees in a joyful way.

But they couldn't refute it.

Topal’s “warning” was still fresh in their minds, and even when residents came here to greet their families, they could only bear it.

In this way, the team from the Interstellar Peace Company could only come to Cleaverburg in a "humiliating" manner to prepare for negotiations. During the negotiation, even automatic robots came to them and asked them if they wanted cookies.

"You must be the distinguished guests of the Interstellar Peace Company. I have heard of your name for a long time. The Great Guardian has been waiting for a long time. Please come in."

In front of the long steps, Jeppard, wearing a blue and white, more than two-meter-long power mecha, stood in front of Topa like a wall.

Beside him, mechas of the same height stood in two rows, extending upward to the door.

Each piece of equipment on the mecha warriors exudes a faint glow and looks very extraordinary.

"(Shit, am I seeing things? That's... a light cone!)"

The internal network of the company's employees suddenly exploded. If they were not mistaken, every Silver Mane Iron Guard warrior present was equipped with a light cone!
The one who is lagging behind is me?

Light cone, as a technology developed by "Liuguang Yiting", belongs to the category of "medium wonder" on the wonder evaluation list of the Interstellar Peace Company.

In other words, the equipment worn by every soldier present is "high-end goods" that they may not be able to afford even if they have decades of salary!
And those who are capable of doing this, needless to say...

"Please lead the way."

Among those present, only Topa remained calm as usual, but in his heart he had to re-evaluate the background of Yalilo VI.

Jeppard led Topa up the stairs, while the remaining Silver Mane Guards looked at the employees of the Interstellar Peace Company below the stage with expressionless faces.

"—!"

The air froze instantly, and the arrogance of the company employees was immediately dispelled. They could feel that every soldier in front of them had the ability to massacre their team.

"(shivering)..."

Walking into the quiet Great Guardian's Palace, I don't know if it's because of the festival, but there are very few people working in the palace, which is in sharp contrast to the lively atmosphere outside.

After walking through a long corridor, two figures appeared in front of her.

"Welcome, guest from afar."

Cocolia, with the pressure of the great guardian, walked down the high steps step by step, and came to Topa with a bold tone.

As the figure approached, Topa felt an unusual sense of oppression. She was clearly the one collecting the debt, but for the first time she felt at a disadvantage.

"You are welcome. Your planet is celebrating a festive occasion. The company representative sent me here, and naturally we are willing to reach a consensus with your country."

Topa placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly politely, and prepared to introduce himself.

"My name is..." "Miss Toppa, right?"

Topa's pupils suddenly shrank, and a feeling of surprise came to his mind.

"My name... is exposed?"

Since the company's ship arrived, she has never had any contact with the residents of Yalilo, but this great guardian actually knew her name in advance?
Cocolia walked down slowly with a friendly look on her face, but the more this happened, the more Topa felt that things were not simple.

What made her even more uneasy was the people accompanying Cocolia...

It wasn't the Yao Luo she was looking for.

Her long grey ponytail hangs down in a spiral, and her attire is very similar to Cocolia's.

"Haha, this is my successor, my daughter Bronya. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Toppa. Come, Bronya, say hello to Miss Toppa."

"Yes, yes, mother."

Bronya's pretty face looked a little hesitant, and for some reason, her tone of voice was a little unnatural, but she still greeted Topa politely.

Cocolia came to Topa, sat down on the sofa that had been prepared nearby, and invited Topa.

"Please take a seat, Miss Topa. I like a more relaxed atmosphere. I hope you don't mind."

Somehow, Topa, who should have had the final say, actually sat on the sofa opposite involuntarily according to Cocolia's wishes.

"Is this really the great guardian of this planet? Why does he seem to be more oppressive than my superiors?"

Sweating profusely, Topa felt a strong sense of disharmony at this moment, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Cocolia naturally poured a cup of coffee for Topa. Her technique was skillful and the aroma was rich, not inferior to the best varieties Topa had seen on his journey to other planets.

The aroma of coffee made Topa feel a little relaxed all over. Taking the opportunity, Topa took out the documents he had prepared for a long time.

"Ms. Cocolia, I wonder if you have read this information."

Kokolia took it calmly and unfolded the electronic document.

In the void, a clear image began to play automatically. The two parties in it were the scene in ancient times when the Interstellar Peace Company came to Yalilo VI and signed an agreement with the first generation of city builders.

“This image is still preserved?”

Pouring herself a cup of coffee, Cocolia put one leg over the other and began to appreciate the image as if she was reading a newspaper.

"(Anyway, isn't this a bit too calm?)"

Toppa looked at the "Great Guardian" in front of him, watching the image he had prepared with a detached attitude, without even blinking, and the pressure in his heart increased.

"Cough cough..."

Bronya, who was behind Cocolia, gently poked the chair behind Cocolia with her arm, and Cocolia put down her raised feet without making a sound.

"Ms. Topa, I have fully understood the information in the file, but at the same time, I would like to ask you a few questions first, is that okay?"

"Excuse me."

Topa secretly calmed herself down, preparing to find an opportunity in the next conversation to inquire about information about Yao Luo, but the next sentence from Cocolia's mouth made her feel cold all over.

"There seem to be some unidentified 'high-energy ships' in the planet's orbit."

"According to my perception, the weapons installed on it are enough to easily destroy a planet."

"A company that came with peaceful intentions, I think this must be..."

"It's not your work, is it?"

Every word spoken by the person in front of him struck Topa's heart, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly reached freezing point.

　This time, the plot of Genshin Impact in 4.2, Fu Fu, really made me cry...
