Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

Half an hour later.

"I'm so sorry, we're used to it in the capital."

In a private room of a restaurant in Xingchahai, Ji Zi apologized to Tingyun.

Perhaps because they have lived in the utopian world of the Star Empire for too long, everyone has long forgotten the principle of paying for things.

Just take whatever you like, or ask Brie and Almighty Angel to help you make one.

Having just arrived at the Immortal Boat, naturally there were no local currencies such as credit points or Xundi, so Tingyun had to help out.

Even this table of food was Tingyun's treat.

"It's okay, it's just a small amount of money, just consider it a meeting gift."

Tingyun gently fanned himself with a folding fan.

"In the final analysis, it was my fault for not being considerate enough to remind you to exchange some currency for the Immortal Boat. Sorry, sorry~"

She was very polite and her attitude was sincere, which made Kiana feel a little embarrassed.

"We will be staying in this universe for a while, and we can't keep bothering Miss Tingyun with food, clothing, and other expenses."

"It just so happens that we brought some things from the Xinghai Empire. Should we be able to exchange them for some of the common currency here?"

Jizi took out a few scrolls.

When you travel, the monetary systems of different worlds are different, but there are always some universal goods.

shhhhh--

She activated the scroll, and a small pile of gold, silver ore, or something similar was unsealed.

"Oh!"

Tingyun was somewhat curious about this technique of sealing things with magic scrolls.

I picked up a few pieces and examined them carefully.

"Hmm... they're of good quality. Some of them contain minerals not available here. I think they can fetch a good price at the Chamber of Commerce."

"Are there any other specialties that could broaden my horizons?"

Jizi thought about it.

Some things in the Star Empire are not for sale, but with the changes in technology, a large number of equipment produced in the past have become obsolete and are piled up in warehouses.

It just so happened that the Starry Sky Train had brought some of them, and since they were just piling up there anyway, it might as well sell them to the aliens.

Swah——

She took out another scroll and injected power into it.

Bang! ——

A dark yellow humanoid mecha was summoned and stood outside the restaurant, causing a burst of exclamations.

"This is an improved Zaku, capable of maneuvering within the atmosphere. It requires a pilot."

"There are also more advanced models, but we don't have many on the train."

"what?"

Tingyun was stunned.

She thought this thing looked somewhat similar to the Golden Man.

"Uh, sorry, I'm not good at construction. Can we go to the Construction Department to ask later?"

Ji Zi took out a few smaller scrolls and summoned a few pieces of equipment.

There are mass-produced imperial weapons brought back from the world of Akame, weapons exploded from worlds such as RE0 and Goblin Slayer, and small props made by the Magic Academy itself, etc.

"Oh……"

Tingyun looked at each item intently.

The styles of these things are completely different, and it is obvious that they come from completely different worlds.

The most outrageous thing is that there are also things like game consoles and comics. Perhaps the successful experience in the Nyakuza world made the advance team think that they might be able to conquer other alien civilizations by exporting culture.

"..."

Tingyun didn't know much about weapons and equipment, but she keenly sensed a business opportunity.

Judging from the performance and insights of the train crew not long ago, the Star Sea Empire is likely to be an unimaginable super civilization.

He possesses many things and knowledge that neither the Xianzhou Alliance nor he himself knows about.

After thinking for a moment, the fox girl immediately made a decision.

He closed the folding fan with a snap.

"On behalf of Xianzhou Luofu and Minghuo Chamber of Commerce, I formally extend an invitation to the Xinghai Empire:"

"Let's formally establish diplomatic relations and sign a trade agreement! Hmm...it would be even better if we could send envoys to each other and set up embassies!"

"what……"

Ji Zi was filled with emotion.

Who did the Xinghai Empire last sign a trade agreement with? Probably the Universal Union of Nyar's world.

The Empire rarely signs formal cooperation agreements, we usually call it tribute.

(Picture shows Tingyun).

Chapter 849 What does it mean to test the "combustion efficiency" of the people of abundance?

When reporting the situation to the mainland the day before, Ji Zi had already obtained Lu Chen's approval.

Therefore, this time she agreed to Tingyun's proposal without much effort.

"Commander agrees. Tomoko will discuss the specific details of the treaty with you."

"Very good, very good!"

Tingyun seemed very happy.

"Hmm... Such a major event should be reported to the General, and then the Grand Astrologer should make a divination."

"Wait a moment, I will introduce them to you. They are all important figures in Luofu."

……

……

Two hours later, Luofu Cave Heaven.

Compared with Xingchahai and Tianbosi, this place looks solemn and dignified.

The building is even more magnificent, several times larger than the commercial district. The Cloud Cavalry are lined up on both sides, standing in neat rows.

This place is the location of the Cloud Cavalry, one of the six divisions of Xianzhou.

Each immortal ship has a general who controls the army, leads the immortal ship to eliminate the evil creatures, and decides diplomatic affairs with other world civilizations.

"Everyone, please."

Tingyun brought Ji Zi and his group down from the Star Chariot, crossed the corridor bridge, and walked into the main building.

What comes into view is the magnificent hall.

The bluestone floor was inlaid with dark golden patterns, and on the central platform, the structure of the Luofu Immortal Boat and the surrounding star map were projected in the form of holographic images.

The fusion of antique design style and futuristic science fiction creates a grand and majestic atmosphere.

Mei Raiden's legs felt a little weak.

She found that she had unknowingly become the representative of the Star Sea Empire and was about to start diplomatic negotiations with another alien civilization in the name of the empire.

Chieko also came along, following everyone in the form of a holographic projection. The people on Xianzhou were used to this and did not find it strange.

"Please take a seat."

A young girl gestured for everyone to take a seat.

She has long pink hair, which is tied into a double bun with gold hairpins. She has a petite figure and a pretty and lovely face.

She was wearing a flowing fairy skirt woven with brocade and gold and silver threads. The close-fitting cut style perfectly showed off the girl's figure.

The skirt is decorated with light and flowing white silk, which adds a touch of seductive beauty when paired with the ancient costume.

The astrological compass decoration on her clothes just pointed out her identity - Taibusi.

The so-called observing the signs and asking the mysteries, and knowing the future by the extreme numbers, Taibu is the head of the department in Xianzhou responsible for intelligence and information deduction.

"I am Fu Xuan, the head of the Luofu Taibusi. Nice to meet you—no, I predicted your arrival from the hexagrams as early as when you approached Luofu."

Fu Xuan greeted everyone.

"Tingyun said that the visitors from the Xinghai Empire are extraordinary, far beyond the reach of those barbarians, so I wanted to come and see them."

As she spoke, she looked at the train crew for a long time.

"Interesting, ... If you have time, why not come to Taibusi and I can tell you a fortune."

Relying on her intuition as a fortune teller, she felt that Ji Zi and his group were different from the immortal boat people and visitors from all parties she usually saw.

The causes and effects involved in them are so complicated that even the eyes of Dharma cannot see through them.

"But today, let's talk business first. The general is busy with his duties and cannot come here in person."

Swah——

A holographic projection of a general wearing ancient armor appeared next to it.

"I am Jing Yuan, General of the Cloud Cavalry of Luofu. There is no need to be reserved. Luofu is all-embracing and naturally welcomes visitors from all realms."

He looked around and motioned for everyone to take a seat.

"Ms. Tingyun is in charge of Luofu's commerce on a daily basis. She said she hopes to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Xinghai Empire... Hmm..."

Jing Yuan thought for a moment.

He has great confidence in Tingyun's abilities. Luofu's prosperity today is inseparable from this fox girl. He is also familiar with the process of signing trade agreements with other worlds.

Swah——

Several detailed reports were projected onto the holographic interface in front of everyone.

"We hope to establish friendly relations with the Xinghai Empire. Local waters and soils nurture local life. We can share what we have and develop together, right?"

Tingyun said with a smile.

"We agree."

Tomoko replaced the train crew and took the lead in diplomatic negotiations.

She was directly connected to the sophon network, transmitting every detail of the information to the mainland of the Star Sea Empire, acting on behalf of Lu Chen's will.

After establishing the general direction, the two sides quickly entered into discussions on detailed terms.

"Well... the first thing is the trade agreement between the two sides."

"Luofu is the Xianzhou Alliance's window for foreign trade. The Xinghai Empire fleet can land here for repairs."

"Where is our trade fleet headed? I'm sorry, but I don't know much about your country."

"The solar system is fine. This is the outpost of the Star Sea Empire in this world."

Sophon marked the location of Honkai-1 space station on the star map.

"Oh...it really is a very distant world. No wonder there is so little information coming from there."

Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan looked at the star map in deep thought.

The Star Sea Empire doesn't care much about things like trade goods. The empire's domestic materials are almost unlimited, and the things imported from other worlds are mostly novel gadgets that are used for fun.

Tingyun attached great importance to this and made a long list ranging from minerals, handicrafts, specialties to weapons and equipment.

"I have another suggestion. Both sides can send envoys to each other and stay in each other's worlds to exchange cultures and facilitate communication."

She suggested sincerely.

"If you wish to explore this universe, the Immortal Boat can serve as a supply point for the train. The Tianbo Division is willing to provide an area for the Xinghai Empire to use."
