Free Web NovelChapter 948: Chapter 41: Chain Link Scheme, the Adopt-a-Mother Plan
Next, Night God Banquet was unable to resist, and the other party made grand promises, essentially giving up.
Friend, a good person!
After all, unable to resist, what could he do?
The other party’s investment was astonishing, offering various benefits unconditionally just to become our friends, invest in us, and take us to the Immortal Realm. Unable to resist, it was best to passively accept, and it seemed things weren’t bad.
But the Grand Elder was utterly amused; they had learned various basic Beast Taming guides since childhood, and there were over a thousand ways to persuade different wild Beast Taming tribes in various situations...
Those were the Beast Taming experiences of the predecessors!
In the most primitive moment, a bunch of bigwigs ran to various worlds to lure "friends" and sign "friend" contracts.
Their system indeed had a period when it was well-known among All Heavens and Myriad Realms, spreading its good reputation, and gradually being known as "investment merchants," benevolent people who loved making friends...
With a great outbreak, the Beast Taming System completely climbed to the top and became a giant in the Immortal Realm!
Everyone should know, each Immortal Realm giant system has a legendary and remarkable growth history.
And their "friend system" was quite famous over tens of millions of years ago!
Although now, tens of millions of years later today, the period of primitive Beast Taming development is over, and there are few Exotic Beasts worth taming in the wild.
Their civilization truly made friends sincerely, but many forces envied their strength and gave their civilization a derogatory name: Beast Taming Civilization...
Clearly, they were just making good friends.
Those jealous opposing forces go so far as to slander us, saying we’re only accepting them as dogs, causing others to misunderstand us, claiming we’re a slave master civilization.
Furthermore, they slander their reputation everywhere, telling others not to become our "friends" or sign "friend contracts," which is really disgusting!
When those people can’t beat you, they tarnish your name, making other races care more about their reputations and hesitate to become their friends.
But now, using the predecessors’ experience of making friends proves indeed effective!
Although it was appealing, they didn’t plan to contract Night God Banquet.
Although the aptitude was good and the achievements high, it was not yet time to sign a friend contract.
First, the other party still had apprehensions; the friend contract requires voluntary acceptance, without a hint of resistance, to establish bonds, friendship, resonance, and better combat coordination.
Secondly, she had to dissolve the previous mixed-haired Auspicious Beast contract and withdraw that portion of Heart Mind before signing this new Auspicious Beast.
But this act is equivalent to self-damaging cultivation.
Re-cultivation carries very heavy costs.
Yet clearly, self-damaging an entire line of cultivation is worth it!
Finding a suitable, strong Auspicious Beast "friend" is extremely difficult—those damn Immortal Venerates and their monopolies...
The civilization that was once free, kind, and pure now can no longer make friends casually—some corrupt dictators monopolize good friends.
Next, True Immortal Momei had a friendly negotiation with the other party.
Night God Banquet also began to accept governance but put forward several requests.
"I don’t want you interfering with our civilization’s development."
Night God Banquet still maintained a very firm stance, saying:
"Moreover, I hope you won’t turn this into your Immortals’ tourist destination, coming here to bully the weak and humiliate the populace; this isn’t your colony!"
It must be said that every time Night God Banquet encountered enemies and fell into their hands, the enemies treated him quite well.
Otherwise, being so arrogant, he would have been beaten long ago.
True Immortal Momei, however, smiled gently:
"Of course not. We respect the development of every friend civilization."
"Because after multiple attempts, we’ve found that letting friends develop independently is the best."
"As for us, we only handle investment!"
"We can let you have complete autonomy; we’ll just dispatch some Immortals to guard outside your world to prevent bandit invasions and protect our best friends."
Honestly, she didn’t want to let anyone else in her sect know about the matters here.
Only the Grand Elder and she herself knew, and that was enough.
The more people who know, the more likely things are to go wrong.
And with just the two of them knowing, they had no Heart Power to interfere in the other’s development, nor did they wish to forcefully intervene.
Because civilization developing on its own is always the best.
This conclusion is derived from experience by various cultivator systems in the Immortal Realm.
Even if you think the other party is wrong, you shouldn’t interfere or modify...
Because sometimes, it’s just from your narrow perception that it’s wrong, but in reality, the other party may have embarked on a completely different path of civilization development.
Your self-righteous interference with a high and mighty arrogance will actually lead the other party to deviate towards your civilization’s features and be forcibly assimilated...
Then, it loses potential, loses uniqueness, and falls into mediocrity.
The preface in the Guardian Covenant of the Lower Immortal Realm is written as:
[Any world possesses infinite possibilities.]
[No Immortal is allowed to forcibly interfere with any civilization’s development, as it’s better driven by the indigenous people of that world.]
[No one understands how their civilization should grow better than the indigenous themselves.]
[The explosion of various civilizations facilitates the progress of the Immortal Realm, allowing us to explore higher realms and embark on greater journeys.]
This is a rule acknowledged by all forces.
Unless some foolish individuals foolishly delight in destroying civilizations, otherwise most will adhere to the covenant.
The Immortal Realm is essentially a world of scholars.
Having a reputation matters.
If you get caught doing bad deeds and your reputation suffers, how would you make money? How could you recruit people?
Mo Meifeng and others were soon greeted with the highest etiquette and continuously promised: "You, our most sincere friend, the first batch of resources will be given to you for free."
They took out storage rings, which contained various gifts.
Just the Low Tier Immortal Stones alone numbered over a hundred million, accompanied by various basic knowledge books, filling the entire library.
Immortal Qi enveloped the entire hall, leaving the Daoists stunned.
In contrast, Night God Banquet felt their sincerity, quite embarrassed, and said:
"Our Taoist System is essentially a Monopoly game, a capitalist system, exploitative, plundering, a natural merchant civilization, which may seem somewhat cruel."
Mo Meifeng was gentle:
"An exploitative, enslaving type of civilization? A capitalist system? Oh, I roughly understand the meaning of your terms now; we respect and understand, even though we are kind and love making friends, we’re not stubborn!"
This Daoist Emperor is really naive.
Who isn’t part of a natural exploitative capitalist system?
Precisely because you and the Beast Taming System are very similar, our True Immortal Momei said that your system seems to have the qualifications of the fourteenth giant system of the Immortal Realm at first glance.
My friend, you are too immature.
How could a civilization ascend to the top of the Immortal Realm without natural resource plundering capabilities?
...
...
In the following days.
Under Ning Zheng’s observation, Night God Banquet gradually became assimilated, and a new idol emerged: Mo Meifeng!
Tricked until he could barely walk.
In essence, this was another part of the blacksmiths’ sequential plan, the second sacrificial offering.
After all, if the boss is keen to be tricked, feeling intellectually superior, only then does the boss feel pleased!
Only then does the boss feel he’s personally conquered a civilization full of potential!
Actively seeking to pledge allegiance, a cheap adoptive child, the overly suspicious party might suspect you’re Lu Bu among men, seeking fathers everywhere, and won’t cherish it.
But a clever adoptive mother might devise a clever plan to conquer this civilization, tricking a foolish adoptive child, then feeling proud and protective.
So, just like that Pill Formula, it enhances the opponent’s immersion!
The opponent enjoys playing it, and unobtrusively flattering the NPC is the key for the blacksmiths to pledge allegiance!
As for the Night God Banquet destined to be deceived and unable to walk straight?
It’s just a part of our play.
"Things are developing smoothly; the blacksmiths truly understand, Night God Banquet surely got tricked by those Immortals..." Ning Zheng was bewildered.
He had long suspected Night Emperor’s good son had issues with his personality.
Previously, he worshipped Emperor Zangwu, and now he worships Mo Meifeng the Grand Elder... but not his father Night Emperor, right?
However.
According to the blacksmiths’ analysis, Night God Banquet might be experiencing a rebellious phase.
He’s lived under his father’s halo since childhood, always introduced as: he’s the son of Night Emperor.
This resulted in complicated emotions towards his father, generating a rebellious mindset.
Admiration, dissatisfaction, and a desire to surpass his father... thus, showing rebellion and enthusiasm in challenging his father.
So, when Mo Meifeng lured him, he fell directly into the trap.
Feeling that his opportunity had come, and he’s about to rise.
