Great Evolution: I Exclusively Possess Earth's Six Supreme Opportunities
Chapter 148 Cooperation?
The air in the reception area seemed to freeze.
The knuckles of the dragon's hand, which was gripping the table, were turning white from excessive force.
He stared at the slowly rotating stone coffin before him, radiating an aura of vastness, his mind still buzzing.
Pack?
Refining?
A world?
Each of these words is like a giant hammer, repeatedly striking the solid worldview he has built up over decades.
He had considered that Su Bai was very strong, and even prepared himself mentally for the possibility that the other party had already surpassed the Cave Heaven Realm.
But he never imagined that strength could be so unbelievable.
This is no longer within the scope of individual force.
This is mythology, creation myth!
No wonder... no wonder those sect elders who are usually so arrogant would sign such a humiliating "Primordial Dao Contract".
If it were him, he would also sign in front of that stone coffin that could suppress an entire world.
After a long while, the Azure Dragon slowly released its grip and sat up straight again.
He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the turmoil of emotions churning within him.
He represents not just himself today, but the Chinese nation.
"Mr. Su's methods are truly extraordinary, and I admire them greatly."
His voice regained its composure, but beneath that composure lay a deep-seated reverence.
Su Bai retrieved the stone coffin and refilled his teacup with tea, his movements unhurried and deliberate.
"Let's get down to business."
"Okay." Canglong nodded, his expression turning serious.
He took out a scroll made of special jade from his personal storage artifact.
"Mr. Su, I am here on behalf of the highest levels of the Chinese government to formally present you with a draft cooperation proposal."
He gently pushed the jade scroll in front of Su Bai.
Please take a look.
Su Bai didn't immediately take it; she simply looked at him calmly.
Canglong understood and took the initiative to explain, "The draft has been discussed multiple times at the highest level, and it is full of sincerity."
"First, we will formally bestow upon Mr. Su the title of 'Guardian of the Nation,' placing him on the same level as me and granting him the highest level of national honors and privileges."
"Secondly, all of Dragon Shield's intelligence systems will be unconditionally open to you, sir. You will have the highest priority right to mine and use all spiritual veins and secret realm resources nationwide."
"In addition, you may choose one of the three national treasures in the national treasury."
Every statement Canglong made was enough to drive any sect in the outside world mad.
The title of Protector of the Nation is equivalent to an officially recognized extraordinary leader.
Prioritizing resources means that all cultivation resources in China will be tilted towards him alone.
The national treasure is a treasure that countless people dream of possessing.
This is quite a large undertaking.
But Su Bai's expression remained unchanged.
Canglong paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, rights and obligations go hand in hand."
"We hope that Mr. Su can accept the offerings of Dragon Shield and serve as the 'Chief Instructor' of Dragon Shield, responsible for guiding the training of Dragon Shield elites."
"At the same time, in order to better coordinate resources and respond to potential future crises, the Primordial Base needs to establish a joint command system with Dragon Shield. In top-level incidents involving national security, the base's operations will require..."
His voice softened as he said this.
"...This needs to be done in coordination with the Dragon Shield Command."
The words were phrased very tactfully.
To be carried out in a coordinated manner.
To put it bluntly, it means following orders.
This is the real core behind this generous draft.
Offer amnesty.
They used their reputation, status, and resources to gain control of Su Bai's uncontrollable force.
He and his Primordial Base were to be fully integrated into the national system.
After saying that, the Azure Dragon fell silent.
He looked at Su Bai quietly, waiting for his answer.
He knew that the draft seemed somewhat ridiculous after witnessing Su Bai's "packaging" skills.
But this was his mission, a process he had to complete.
Su Bai finally reached out and picked up the jade scroll.
He didn't look.
Simply hold it between two fingers and gently place it on the table.
"Commander-in-Chief Azure Dragon"
Su Bai spoke.
Do you think I need these things right now?
He pointed to the scroll.
"A title? I am the Dao Lord myself."
"Resources? I just refined an entire world."
"A magic weapon? What do you think of mine?"
As he spoke, the ancient stone coffin reappeared behind him, its imperial aura flashing by.
A fine layer of cold sweat seeped from the Azure Dragon's forehead.
Su Bai's gaze calmly fell on him.
"Take this draft back."
"Your line of thinking was wrong from the very beginning."
"I, Su Bai, and my Primordial Base, can never become subordinate to any power."
"What I want is not to join you."
Su Bai leaned forward slightly and spoke, word by word.
"Instead, we want to establish an equal alliance with you."
"I represent the beginning."
"You represent China."
"We are equals."
These words resonated deeply.
The Azure Dragon's body leaned back uncontrollably.
He had anticipated that Su Bai would refuse and try to negotiate.
But he didn't expect Su Bai to flip the table, putting both of them at the same level.
This is no longer a collaboration.
This is the establishment of diplomatic relations!
After a long silence.
A bitter smile suddenly appeared on Canglong's face.
He shook his head.
"Mr. Su, I admit that you have the ability and qualifications."
"However... I don't have the final say in China."
He looked at Su Bai, his eyes becoming exceptionally serious.
"Many people are afraid of you. They are afraid of your uncontrollable power. They would rather see a weaker China than a China with an unknown sword hanging over its head."
"The draft I brought is already the limit they can accept."
Su Bai picked up the teacup and blew on it to cool it down.
"so what?"
Azure Dragon's gaze sharpened.
"So, you need to put up some bargaining chips."
"A bargaining chip that can convince everyone. A bargaining chip that will make them willingly see you as an equal partner, not a potential threat."
"You need to prove to us that cooperating with you is more beneficial to China than trying to control you."
He stared at Su Bai and asked the most crucial question of the trip.
"Mr. Su, what are your bargaining chips?"
