Chapter 359 The Long-Legged Azure Dragon Token
"Oh, so you're here to negotiate with me on behalf of the Elders' Council, right?"
Yu Liu summarized what the young man in front of her had just said. She was sitting in a room filled with futuristic technology, the silver-white decorations highlighting its coolness. Across from her on the sofa, the gentle-looking young man was not angered by Yu Liu's words. Instead, he smiled gently and poured Yu Liu another drink.
"Your summary is inaccurate. It's not a negotiation, it's a discussion of cooperation. We have no ill intentions, and everything is based on your wishes. If you disagree, we won't do anything."
He spoke slowly, his voice as gentle and intoxicating as his appearance, making people feel comfortable just by listening to it. Negotiating with, or rather, discussing cooperation with, someone like him is really easy to relax, and then you unknowingly fall for his charm and sign a contract that is different from what you expected.
"Based on my wishes? Would you really be that kind?" It wasn't that Yu Liu was uneasy; she simply couldn't trust them. Could the elders of this council be so unreliable, depending entirely on the other person's wishes when negotiating cooperation?
“We certainly wouldn’t be this kind to others, but you are special.” The young man smiled and, to Yu Liu’s surprise, reached out and fiddled with the smart device on his wrist.
"I don't know if you noticed, but the place you were in earlier was a competition venue, which was full of cameras. Every player's performance was transmitted to a specific live broadcast room for the audience to watch. The more capable players would be liked by the audience."
Yu Liu seemed to understand the meaning behind his words: "I...was photographed?"
The young man smiled silently: "It's more than just that we filmed you. Because of your situation, we decided to follow and film you from beginning to end, so we saw your every move on the field. We also know what skills you have."
Seeing the growing wariness in Yu Liu's eyes, the young man slowed his speech, trying to convey his harmlessness: "Most importantly, we know you are a little devil."
These words stunned Yu Liu: "You know me..."
"Yes, first of all, I need you to understand that you are the second fairy to become a spirit since the beginning of the new century. Your identity is actually very, very, very precious."
He used three very strong words in a row to emphasize that he was telling the truth.
"And you really don't need to worry too much. We know that fairies have a very long lifespan. Our First Elder is actually a fairy. He was the first fairy since the founding of the New Era and made outstanding contributions to the entire interstellar space. We all respect him very much. It was his idea to contact you. He has a good impression of you. And many of us are curious about the things you took out. Don't you think it's interesting?"
He kept proclaiming his harmlessness, but Yu Liu couldn't completely trust him.
She pretended to breathe a sigh of relief and shrugged: "Okay, I believe you, but I'm really sorry. The things I brought out are from a long time ago. As you know, fairies have a long lifespan. I actually existed a long time ago, but later... due to insufficient power, I fell into a deep sleep. I woke up this time. The things I used are basically one less to use each time, so they're not worth cooperating with at all."
"It's alright. Those things are just icing on the cake. It won't affect anything if we don't have them. Our cooperation is actually with you. We don't need you to do anything. Just join the Elders' Council. We might need your help occasionally, and we can meet all your requests as long as it's within the Elders' Council's capabilities."
"It sounds like a good deal, but I don't know how long I can stay, so let's do as you say for now."
The conditions this person offered were already so lenient that Yu Liu had no reason to refuse. Moreover, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; if she didn't agree, and the other party did something else, she might not be able to survive in this outside world. Therefore, she really only had one option: to agree.
"So from now on, I have some requirements to tell you, and you can listen to me after considering them, right?"
Yu Liu took a sip of her drink; it was sweet and sour with a strange taste. She suppressed the nausea in her mouth and waited for the young man's answer.
"As long as we can do it!"
“Well… I have something I need you to do right now!” Yu Liu took out all three tokens that she had been holding in her chest: “I obtained these tokens, but I’m not a contestant. So, could I give the points on these tokens to the contestants?”
"This one……"
The young man was somewhat embarrassed.
Yu Liu tried hard to ignore the bitter taste that gradually rose in her mouth, inwardly complaining about how awful the drink was, but on her face she wore a bright smile: "I hope to hear the answer is yes."
To prevent the little imp from looking down on the Elders on her very first day, the young man could only grit his teeth and agree: "Okay! Are you going to put all these points on Xie Qiong?"
He had also watched the live broadcast and clearly remembered that the little fairy had said that she had promised some people that she would help Xie Qiong win the competition.
"Correct!"
The young man arranged accommodation for Yu Liu and then hurriedly left. To avoid making Xie Qiong's points seem too abrupt, he eventually announced the matter: the token belonged to Yu Liu, and she had carried it to the finish line. If Yu Liu were a participant, she would have received a large number of points, but she wasn't. These points were all used to reach the finish line, and after a series of discussions, the organizing committee deemed the points useful. However, the question of who should receive these useful points caused much debate. Ultimately, they decided to listen to the little fairy's opinion, since she was the one who brought the token. The little fairy's final choice was not unexpected—it was Xie Qiong.
Thus, Xie Qiong unknowingly accumulated a massive amount of points. He was still trying to resist Zhu Ye's influence and wanted to gain points through his own efforts, but Zhu Ye would always interfere with him, ultimately making things a mess.
Xie Qiong was far ahead the entire time. Although many viewers of the live stream were bothered by the scene where he deceived Xiao Yaojing and led to her being chased, Xiao Yaojing herself chose to forgive and forget. The viewers assumed Yu Liu already knew that Xie Qiong's claim of being unable to defeat the group was a lie, and they supported Xiao Yaojing's decision. So, they quickly voted for Xie Qiong; after all, he was already a supporter, and now with Xiao Yaojing on the side, they were ready to vote!
