Chapter 1300 -990 Borrowing Someone

Seeing that the members of the trade association still didn’t understand why Prince Liu’s subordinates didn’t offer gifts, Ye Xingteng bluntly stated: “It’s not that Prince Liu refuses to accept gifts, but rather, he dares not to accept them.”

Upon hearing Ye Xingteng’s words, the members of the trading team were slightly startled.

Dares not to accept gifts?

Lu Zi’an is the son of the Heavenly Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty; what could he possibly fear?

Their trading team had visited numerous empires, and almost son of every emperor they encountered acted arrogantly and recklessly, above the law. What could the son of a Great Emperor possibly fear to do?

Especially when it’s just a matter of accepting some gifts.

Ye Xingteng continued: “A man who suddenly takes up cultivation and claims he will be in seclusion for ten years, particularly someone who was previously greedy and licentious—do you believe that?”

A member of the Changhong Trading Team said: “Of course not.”

Ye Xingteng continued: “Then, there’s only one possibility: Prince Liu of Daxia has been warned by someone.”

“Judging by the behavior of Prince Liu’s guards, they are exceedingly wary of accepting gifts, and that guard even reminded us that leaving a gift might offend Prince Liu. This proves that he is now afraid of accepting gifts, even more so that this matter might reach the ears of someone he fears.”

“The only person who could make Prince Liu afraid must be that one.”

Ye Xingteng did not explicitly say who it was, after all, one must not insult the Great Emperor. If he outrightly spoke the name, he might be noticed by the Great Emperor. Although their investigation revealed that a Great Emperor stood behind Lu Chen, in their eyes, Lu Chen was most likely a Great Emperor himself.

Hearing Ye Xingteng’s analysis, the members of the Changhong Trading Team immediately caught on.

Ye Xingteng then said: “Normally, a Great Emperor wouldn’t care about his children’s indulgence in luxury, but according to our intelligence, this one is different. He places great emphasis on familial bonds; he probably doesn’t want to see his children ending up as nothing but a waste of space.”

At this moment, a disciple of the Ye Family said: “Then doesn’t that mean our plan is ruined?”

If it was as they speculated, Prince Liu’s so-called ten-year seclusion might very well be a ten-year house arrest imposed by the Heavenly Emperor. Their hopes of meeting Prince Liu in the next ten years would be difficult, and their plan would be spoiled.

Ye Xingteng spoke indifferently: “It’s only a decade; we can certainly wait that long.”

For Cultivators, a decade is not a long time. It takes them many years just to return to the Chiyue Dynasty, and on top of that, they would need some time to spread the news about the Daxia Dynasty’s affairs.

Acquiring those things from the Daxia Dynasty will take more than ten years, so there is no need for them to be too anxious.

Moreover, just the manufacturing method of a starship alone is worth waiting a decade for.

Seeing President Ye saying this, the other members of the Changhong Trading Team no longer said much.

After some time, the Changhong Trading Team completed the transaction with the Cosmic Development Company, and all the traded starships were transferred to the Changhong Trading Team.

But when the members of the Changhong Trading Team saw the numerous buttons on the starship, they were all stunned.

To control an Immortal Boat, they only needed to channel Spiritual Power into the spiritual power core, and for them, operating a starship was exceedingly difficult by comparison.

Indeed, the Cosmic Development Company had also been trying to reduce the number of buttons on the starships, to simplify the control of the starships. Nowadays, the starships of the Daxia Dynasty no longer had that many buttons.

However, the batch of starships sold to Changhong Trading Team were models from a few generations back, hence they had more buttons.

This posed a problem for the people of Changhong Trading Team; they managed to purchase the starships but didn’t know how to operate them.

They could easily take these starships back with them, but after getting them back, it was no good if they couldn’t operate them.

Although their initial intention was to study the construction of these starships, if they didn’t even know how to operate them, even if they managed to build them in the future, it would probably be useless.

However, Ye Xingteng quickly thought of a solution and immediately contacted the people from Cosmic Development Company, hoping they could lend them some personnel who knew how to operate starships.

The Cosmic Development Company did not agree immediately but instead directed Ye Xingteng to the Ministry of Commerce to discuss the matter with Lord Lu.

Skyfire World, Great Sum Ministry of Commerce.

In the meeting room, Ye Xingteng sat in an armchair, his gaze out the window.

A Ye Family Disciple beside him said, “President, there are so many people in the Daxia Dynasty who can operate starships; can’t we just recruit some of them? Why must we go to the Cosmic Development Company to borrow people?”

Not all starships in the Daxia Dynasty are official; now all major powers possess starships, so it’s not just the Daxia soldiers who can operate starships.

In the eyes of some from the Changhong Trading Team, if they wanted to recruit someone to operate starships, they just needed to hire some people from the general populace with a high salary, there was no need to approach the Cosmic Development Company to borrow personnel.

Ye Xingteng gave a glance at that Ye Family Disciple and said, “What do you understand? How many civilians can operate Tian-class starships? Surely you don’t think all starships are the same?”

“Since starships vary in rank, naturally, their control methods are also very different.”

Most people from the Changhong Trading Team still thought that the logic of operating starships and Immortal Boats were similar; in their eyes, no matter the rank of the Immortal Boat, the control methods were directly manipulating the central Formation, so they assumed control methods for starships of all ranks should also be universal.

Upon hearing this from Ye Xingteng, the people from Changhong Trading Team were stunned, and one of them said, “President, aren’t they all starships? How can the methods of control be different?”

Ye Xingteng replied, “Starships are not Immortal Boats. As for why the Cosmic Development Company would differentiate the control methods for starships, you’d have to ask them.”

“If we don’t have someone who knows how to operate Tian-class starships, even if we brought these starships back, they might as well be a heap of scrap metal.”

Initially, Ye Xingteng also planned to hire knowledgeable people on starship operation from the Imperial Mountain Star Region at a high price to teach them how to control starships, but the people they hired were completely clueless about the buttons on the Tian-class starships.

Later, Ye Xingteng understood what was going on; Tian-class starships were military vessels used by the War Dragon Army, classified as weapons of war, while those starships used by the civilians in Great Sum were merely cargo ships and didn’t need so many functions, nor did they require so many buttons.

The only ones capable of operating Tian-class starships now were the soldiers of the War Dragon Army and the personnel from the Cosmic Development Company. If the Changhong Trading Team wanted to learn how to operate Tian-class starships, they had to seek assistance from either the Cosmic Development Company or the Daxia Imperial Court.

Just then, a series of footsteps was heard from outside; the room silenced instantly, and soon Lu Chen appeared at the entrance of the meeting room.

Ye Xingteng quickly stood up and said, “My respects to Lord Lu.”

Lu Chen also responded with a smile, “President Ye, long time no see. What brings you to the Ministry of Commerce today?”

Ye Xingteng got straight to the point, “Lord Lu, the thing is, this is our first time dealing with starships, and we’re not sure how to operate them, so we were hoping to borrow some people from the Cosmic Development Company.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen said, “I see, that’s easy to handle.”
