I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 110 (4000 words)
The virtual world.

Personal space.

Yuwen Sa, with his large head, sat in a reclining chair.

Before him, the Multi-Eyed Clan member, Tuolan Xiling, looked expectant: "Brother Yuwen, what brings you to me?"

Not long ago, Tuolan Xiling spent tens of millions of Canglan coins.

Please ask the strategist Yuwen Sa to take action against the Blue Star civilization.

To express the pain of losing a son.

Captain Aoqu was his own son whom he had raised for many years. How could Tuolan Xiling be willing to let him die on Blue Star in such an inexplicable way?

However, Tuolan Xiling was no fool. Under the clan leader's orders, he dared not directly attack Lanxing, but instead asked the 'strategist' Yuwen Sa.

Furthermore, the conditions they proposed were that they could attack Blue Star without affecting the Multi-Eyed Clan.

Regardless of the outcome, this will not implicate the family.

"The operation against Earth has begun."

Yuwen Sa, with his large head, spoke calmly.

"It's already started?" Tuolan Xiling's spirits lifted.

"How did you manage to do it?" Tuolan Xileng asked tentatively.

When a strategist intervenes, it is subtle and pervasive, subtly influencing the overall situation to achieve their goals.

Therefore, even though Tuolan Xiling was paying attention to Blue Star, he did not notice any signs that Big-Headed Yuwen Sa had made a move.

"I asked my friend, President Qing, from the Tree Mother Civilization, to contact the high-level officials of the Blue Star Civilization at this time, and made a solemn promise to sign a mining contract with the Blue Star Civilization."

"It's Yuwen Sa with the big head," he said.

"what?"

Tuolan Xiling was somewhat stunned.

He knew about the Tree Mother Civilization, which was far superior to the Multi-Eyed Civilization.

The Tree Mother Civilization made a solemn promise and signed a more favorable mining agreement with the Blue Star Civilization.
Is this targeting Earth civilization?

Isn't this handing a benefit to Earth's civilization?
Seeing Tuolan Xiling's confusion, the big-headed Yuwen Sa smiled and said, "The so-called promises are just words. The Tree Mother Civilization will not actually sign any mining agreement with the Blue Star Civilization."

As soon as these words came out.

Tuolan Xiling was even more puzzled.

Even so, the Earth civilization didn't suffer any losses, did it?

"You should know that the Empire's envoy has already arrived on Earth."

The big-headed Yuwen Sa smiled and said, "The imperial envoy who has arrived on Blue Star this time is named Audis. He despises deceitful behavior, fickleness, and going back on one's word."

Audis

Tuolan Xiling looked thoughtful.

"Now that Audis has arrived on Earth, it will be difficult to keep anything that happens on Earth from him."

"Including my good friend, President Qing, and his conversations with high-ranking officials at Blue Star."

After saying this, Yuwen Sa with the big head paused for a moment before continuing:

"President Qing and the high-ranking officials of Blue Star will promise as many benefits as possible. However, if any Blue Star official wavers and expresses any intention to abandon the contract with the Empire and instead sign a contract with the Tree Mother Civilization..."

"There is no need to waver; just a little hesitation will not lead to a high evaluation of the cultural exploration conducted by Inspector Audis on the Blue Star expedition."

"Big-headed Yuwen Sa said calmly."

"I see." Tuolan Xiling suddenly realized.

So-called cultural exploration is basically a subjective matter, depending on the inspector's attitude towards this life-bearing planet.

What Inspector Audis hates most is being inconsistent and fickle.

The Blue Star leadership had already submitted an application to the Empire, but in the end, they wanted to switch their allegiance to the Tree Mother Civilization, which completely crossed the bottom line of the Audis Inspector.

Such a cultural assessment would inevitably be extremely poor.

"The cultural assessment was extremely poor. The overall evaluation of Blue Star civilization will inevitably be low, and the final contract signed will certainly be of a low grade, with the Empire significantly reducing its investment in it. As a result, the losses to Blue Star civilization will be calculated in hundreds of millions of Canglan coins."

“Even a very poor cultural evaluation could lead to Blue Star signing the lowest-level contract, which would be terminated once Blue Star’s mineral resources are depleted.”

"At that time, you can directly deal with Earth."

Yuwen Sa, with his large head, looked at Tuolan Xiling and shook his head, saying, "But you should be prepared that the probability of Blue Star Civilization signing the lowest-level contract is not high, after all, you only gave me ten million Canglan coins."

"If you increase it by a hundred times, I can guarantee that Blue Star will definitely sign the lowest level contract."

"A hundred times?" Tuolan Xileng's heart trembled, and he immediately said, "I am already very satisfied with the outcome of Blue Star."

One hundred times ten million, which is one billion Canglan coins.

With Tuolan Xiling's wealth, he could afford it, but it would be a huge financial blow.

While the death of Aoqu Xiling certainly angered Tuolan Xiling, as a celestial being, reason still prevailed over everything, and it was impossible for her to pay too high a price for a dead son.

"Brother Yuwen, your plan is truly brilliant!"

After thinking carefully for a while, Tuolan Xiling couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Throughout the entire process, Big-Headed Yuwen Sa never directly attacked Blue Star.

Instead, they used the rules of the Canglan Universe Human Empire and the personality of the Audis Envoy to quietly dig a huge pit for Blue Star.

Even if this matter were exposed, it would have no impact. Although Inspector Audis knew that President Qing had deliberately said those things to the higher-ups of Blue Star.

But the fact that the Blue Star leadership ultimately showed a wavering attitude was enough.

This alone is enough for Audis to conclude that the will of humanity on Earth is weak, and the final cultural assessment will not be very high either.

This is a conspiracy.

Unless the higher-ups on Earth know in advance or receive guidance from a master, it will be difficult to avoid it.

After all, anyone would think twice when faced with a sufficiently large benefit.

The capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Director Zhou's office.

Director Zhou looked at President Qing on the screen.

"Director Zhou, our Tree Mother Civilization understands the difficulties faced by newly emerging civilizations, which is why we have made this decision. As long as you sign a contract with us and provide that mineral resource, our Tree Mother Civilization is willing to invest one billion Canglan coins in your planet every hundred years, and all the income will go to your Blue Star."

President Qing smiled at Director Zhou: "My Tree Mother Civilization is indeed far inferior to the Empire, but by signing a contract with my Tree Mother Civilization, you will receive its full support."

"And sign a contract with the Empire? You are just one of the countless life-bearing planets cultivated by the Empire. Director Zhou should be very clear about the difference."

President Qing looked at Director Zhou.

The Tree Mother Civilization could not possibly agree to the contract terms he proposed.

But it was just talk anyway. If it weren't for the concern that Director Zhou wouldn't believe him, Chairman Qing would have dared to say that he would directly invite the Blue Star Civilization to take over the Tree Mother Civilization.

"I agree, Director Zhou. This is a rare opportunity. If you agree, I will go back and draft the contract now."

President Qing said.

Director Zhou remained silent.

But the instructions Su Yuan had given him a few days earlier kept replaying in his mind.

At that time, Su Yuan told him about what had happened that day, what Chairman Qing would say and what he would promise, all of which were within Su Yuan's expectations.

Su Yuan also gave detailed instructions on how Director Zhou should respond to Chairman Qing's promise.

Director Zhou's ability to climb to this position is undoubtedly due to his strong execution skills, coupled with the mental rehearsals he's done these past few days.
Snapped--

Under the watchful eye of Chairman Qing.

Director Zhou suddenly stood up, looking at Chairman Qing with disappointment in his eyes.

"President Qing, I never imagined that your Tree Mother Civilization would view my Blue Star Civilization in this way!" Director Zhou said gravely, enunciating each word clearly.

"Although our Blue Star civilization is weak, has only just come into contact with the universe, and is far inferior to your Tree Mother civilization, we still know the most basic integrity!" "Since we have applied to the Empire, we will only be loyal to the Empire from now on. The direction of the Empire's will will be the direction of our Blue Star civilization."

"Sign a contract with your Tree Mother Civilization? What's the difference between that and betraying the Empire?"

Director Zhou took a deep breath, then raised his hand and bowed towards a certain direction in the depths of the starry sky. This was the highest form of etiquette on Earth: "I hope that your Tree Mother Civilization will not say such things again. My Earth Civilization swears to stand with the Empire to the death."

The direction in which Director Zhou cupped his hands was precisely the direction of the imperial star of the Canglan Universe Human Empire.

The way President Qing looked at Director Zhou changed from initial confusion to disbelief, and then to utter astonishment.

Is Director Zhou really that loyal to the empire?
Before President Qing could continue speaking...

Director Zhou then hung up the phone, which was one of Su Yuan's instructions: President Qing must not be allowed to raise any questions.

Somewhere on Earth, Inspector Audis withdrew his gaze from the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

As a mid-level interstellar life form, his mental domain covers the entire globe, so nothing that happens on Earth can escape his notice.

The phone call between Director Zhou and Chairman Qing was also being watched by Audis.

When Audis heard the conditions proposed by Chairman Qing, he had a vague feeling that Director Zhou would waver.

After all, the conditions were too favorable.

Of course, as generous as it may be, given Inspector Audis's personality, if Director Zhou wavers, the evaluation of the cultural inspection will certainly not be high.

If Director Zhou not only wavers but also shows signs of abandoning the empire, then Audis will give him a very poor evaluation.

What Audis didn't expect was that Director Zhou's performance was so unexpected.

Not only did he directly reject Chairman Qing's conditions, but he also demonstrated his lofty loyalty to the Empire.

Countless forces within the territory of the Canglan Universe Human Empire have received the Empire's favors, yet they fight for their own interests all day long, disregarding the Empire's interests, and even betraying the Empire's interests for their own benefit.

Those immortal beings who have lived for millions of years are less loyal to the Empire than ants from a native planet who have only been in contact with the Empire for a few days.
Audis grew angrier the more he thought about it. He was a staunch Imperialist who believed that the Empire should rule everything.

While angry, Audis's evaluation of Director Zhou and Lanxing also rose sharply.

How could a civilization like Earth possess such enlightened high-ranking officials? How could its culture be so inferior?
"But why did President Qing do this when he clearly couldn't have made that decision on behalf of the Tree Mother Civilization?"

After a moment's thought, Inspector Audis realized that something was amiss.

As an imperial envoy, he knew all too well the attitudes of those civilized powers. When faced with a nascent civilization like the Blue Star Civilization, it would be considered a sign of conscience not to enslave them to death, let alone treat them well.
"Is this a trap set for Earth civilization? Is someone targeting Earth civilization?"

Inspector Audis immediately realized what was happening.

However, upon realizing this, Inspector Audis once again raised his opinion of Blue Star to a higher level.

Faced with the trap of an unknown enemy, the Blue Star civilization not only managed to cope, but also performed exceptionally well.

"Excellent! No, outstanding!"

Envoy Audis made his final assessment of the Blue Star civilization's cultural exploration efforts.

Excellent.

While cultural exploration primarily depends on subjective perspectives, a high level of evaluation still requires sufficient objective 'evidence'.

However, Inspector Audis felt that evidence was not a problem. He had already recorded the conversation between Director Zhou and Chairman Qing, which was the 'ironclad proof' that Blue Star civilization had received an excellent evaluation.

Hundreds of thousands of meters underground.

Su Yuan learned of Inspector Audis' final decision from the gray mirror and nodded slightly.

Su Yuan was already aware of Yuwen Sa's schemes against Blue Star.

This is also one of the hidden dangers that will inevitably remain in the fight against interstellar colony ships.

The deaths of Captain Oqu and two other second-generation members of the Multi-Eyed Clan will inevitably invite retaliation from their elders.

Because of the imperial relationship, this retaliation would inevitably not be on the surface, but rather at a deeper level.

Su Yuan had learned all of the above beforehand from the gray mirror, including Yuwen Sa's schemes.

After taking stock of all the information, Su Yuan did not interfere with Yuwen Sa's plan in advance, but instead went with the flow and completely reversed the situation that was originally unfavorable to Blue Star.

Yuwen Sa used the personality of the Audis Inspector as a weapon, and Su Yuan could do the same.

Director Zhou's indecisiveness will lower the evaluation of the cultural assessment.

However, if Director Zhou firmly stands on the side of the Empire, it will raise the evaluation of the cultural inspection.

Under these circumstances, Su Yuan was fully capable of achieving his desired goals based on Yuwen Sa's (the "Big Head") scheme.

The virtual world.

Personal space.

Yuwen Sa, with his large head, sat relaxed in his chair, waiting for his friend, President Qing's, reply.

Tuolan Xiling sat to the side, a satisfied look on his face.

According to Yuwen Sa's description, Blue Star will suffer heavy losses under his scheme, at the very least, and the Empire's subsequent investment will be greatly reduced.

In severe cases, the lowest-level contract will be signed, at which point the contract period will be over, and the Blue Star civilization will no longer have the protection of the empire.

"We strategists kill without needing a knife."

Yuwen Sa was leisurely and content.

Wow!
at this time.

Not far away, a figure materialized; it was none other than the Green President of the Tree Mother Civilization.

"My friend is here."

Upon seeing this, Yuwen Sa smiled.

"President Qing."

Tuolan Xiling immediately stood up to show respect.

"Brother Qing, what is Blue Star's reaction?"

Yuwen Sa immediately inquired.

In his view, there are only two possible reactions from Earth.

One option was to hesitate and waver, while the other was to decide to side with the Mother Tree Civilization.

"This is ridiculous. That Director Zhou is really ridiculous. Who is he trying to fool? Loyalty, huh?"

President Qing looked gloomy.

He was unaware of Yuwen Sa's scheme; he was only asked by a friend to speak those words.

"What do you mean?"

Yuwen Sa realized something was wrong.

"look by youself."

President Qing immediately sent out the call log.

Yuwen Sa looked solemn and quickly finished reading.

"This"

Looking at Director Zhou's behavior in the call log, Yuwen Sa's lips twitched.

Especially considering that under his careful planning, Director Zhou's performance had already caught the eye of Inspector Audis, and that his schemes and plans had not only failed to harm Blue Star.

It also helped Blue Star and raised the evaluation of cultural research.

All his efforts have backfired.

Yuwen Sa could no longer bear it.

"Grass!"
