Chapter 804: Chapter 804
Bai Fu invited Demetri inside for a detailed conversation.
Upon entering, Demetri immediately expressed his intention to cooperate.
"The Empire is very interested in your ability and hopes to establish a further cooperative relationship with you. Rest assured, the Empire will not shortchange any partner."
Bai Fu believed Demetri's words.
Half of the Empire's elite forces were not cultivated by the Empire but joined for various reasons.
The Empire has always been exceptionally generous with these affiliates and has never been rumored to seize anything from them.
Take Chong Xiao as an example.
Chong Xiao is the Pastor of the Mechanical Fire Sect, possessing a Cosmic Treasure that can be considered a Mechanical Holy Object—the Vitality Machine Soul, which can significantly enhance the fleet's combat power and also provide a considerable boost to the Empire's Radiant Host.
However, even after Chong Xiao explicitly stated he would not offer the Vitality Machine Soul, the Empire did not attempt to seize it but instead offered more benefits in exchange with Chong Xiao, allowing him to lend the Vitality Machine Soul when necessary.
Because of these precedents, Bai Fu felt confident in boldly cooperating with the Empire.
However, the Empire's generosity is not due to its leaders' broad minds; it's simply because there are strong competitors like the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry outside.
If the Empire dared to deceive its affiliates today, those two competitors would be knocking at the door tonight with their shovels to poach them.
Demetri took a sip of water and continued, "The Empire will do its utmost to nurture you, providing you with all the resources you need to quickly advance to Super Supreme. Additionally, the Empire will entrust you with full responsibility for the Dark Domain exploration area in the direction of the Ancestral Origin Star. Once cooperation is reached, you will have the authority to mobilize parts of the Rust Army fleet. This is our preliminary idea, if you have any other requirements, feel free to mention them, and we'll discuss further."
Bai Fu tapped the table lightly, beginning to think.
She currently lacks many things: advanced knowledge and skill books, blueprints, resources to cultivate the Sacrificial God Scepter, more and better spaceships, experience, and the conditions needed to complete tasks.
The first three will gradually be accounted for as long as she agrees to cooperate with the Empire.
While the Empire can't directly provide her experience, it can arrange tasks to help her earn more experience.
But this is still not enough.
Doing tasks isn't as easy and pleasant as leveraging players.
Players, Bai Fu needs to consume more players!
"I have a small request."
Demetri smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Bai Fu said, "To better carry out Dark Domain exploration, I need more Undying People. I hope you can help send more Undying People to the Ancestral Origin Star."
Demetri hesitated slightly but agreed.
The Undying People's nature of immortality made them shine brightly in the Dark Domain exploration era. Many imperial legions and professional expedition teams hope to recruit a group of Undying People as pathfinders.
Sending more Undying People to Bai Fu will inevitably anger these legions and professional expedition teams.
But if the leaders of these legions and expeditions knew Bai Fu could help them break through their bottlenecks, all dissatisfaction would turn into admiration.
Calling Bai Fu names?
They wouldn't even have time to suck up!
Bai Fu slowly said, "Besides this request, I have a research project that I wish to collaborate on with the Empire."
"Oh?" Demetri became interested in this topic.
Bai Fu took out the Void Converter blueprints she obtained from Lupus.
Of all the tasks, she's currently most craving the reward for completing the Void Converter blueprints task.
But she has no research on the Void, and to complete the blueprints, she can only rely on others' power.
Obviously, borrowing anyone else's strength is not as effective as directly relying on the Empire's power.
Bai Fu doesn't mind revealing the Void's secrets to the Empire; the Void is too vast for her alone to handle. Only by inviting more people to join and develop together can she take a share.
Demetri opened the blueprints Bai Fu sent and their descriptions, becoming increasingly shocked the more he looked.
All major civilizations have been researching the Void, but progress has been insignificant. If Bai Fu's information is genuine, it marks a massive breakthrough in Void research history.
Sis, aren't you a member of the Void Realm Research Association? Why are you dealing with Void research instead?
Demetri's expression turned rather peculiar.
"I'll immediately send the information to Radiant for coordination with relevant researchers."
Ten minutes later, the Empire sent back a reply.
The Empire must collaborate! For original chapters go to novelꜰire.net
The Empire could never dream they came to recruit Bai Fu only for her to offer a new grand gift.
If they can perfect the Void Converter, they could use Void Energy nearly without side effects, an enormous boost for the entire empire's power.
If they could figure out why the Void Dimension was exiled, it would be even more amazing!
To reciprocate Bai Fu's grand gift, the Empire promised to deliver the resources Bai Fu needed to feed the Sacrificial God Scepter as quickly as possible.
Bai Fu nodded in satisfaction.
Great, this way she can soon possess a true Cosmic Treasure!
This level of boost to her combat power is immeasurable, and she will officially have power that can threaten Super Supreme!
After handing the Void Converter blueprints to the Empire, she no longer has to concern herself with completing tasks personally—once the Empire perfects the blueprints and returns them to her, she can easily reap high rewards.
