Chapter 758 Deal
"We have no intention of invading. This is just a misunderstanding."
Seeing that these people were eager to explain themselves, the commander was secretly delighted.
Wu Mo and the others were also following the situation closely.
They knew that they already had it in the bag.
The Pirnaians had assumed that they were from a highly advanced civilization, and this gave the Pirnaians a sense of fear.
How could they gain the upper hand in the negotiation when they were plagued with fear?
Wu Mo smiled and fed the plan to the commander through the communicator.
"You should compensate us and leave this place. Otherwise, we'll start a war, and you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Why was there going to be another war? For a moment, everyone was speechless.
They felt that the Pirnaians had just been impulsive and had no ill intentions. Why were they speaking so harshly?
"I'm sorry," one of the Pirnaian elders said with a smile. "We mean no harm. But if you want to start a war, things might get out of hand."
Being members of a Level 2 civilization as well, those on Pirna were worried.
Even if they were in the same territory, there was no need to be so ruthless, right?
The commander's heart skipped a beat. Was he trapped in the spaceship?
One should know that the battleship was not very sturdy!
Therefore, he wondered what the answer to Mr. Wu's question was.
Wu Mo smiled when he saw this.
"Those people just want to fight for more benefits," he said slowly. "But they're currently not strong enough to bargain with us."
With that, he ordered the commander, "Do it!" Let them see our strength. Don't be afraid. They won't dare make a move!"
The commander almost collapsed when he heard his order.
He never thought that Mr. Wu would choose to use force.
'What? Mr. Wu actually wants me to threaten them with force. This-This is impossible!'
He felt a mix of emotions. It surprised him that Wu Mo was so decisive and taking immediate action.
Even though he was extremely conflicted, there was no way out. He could only follow Wu Mo's instructions.
"If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get."
The burly leader of Pirna could no longer hold it in and stood up angrily.
"Are you trying to start a war with us?"
With a furious roar, the Pirnaians raised their weapons and aimed at Wu Mo's men.
This was human territory, so more than ten soldiers aimed their guns back at them.
Any sudden moves could lead to fatal consequences.
Although the Pirnaians had strong physiques, they were still ordinary living beings. They would not be able to survive such a fierce attack.
Right then, everyone was stunned.
The Pirnaians knew that if they resisted, the nearby army would not show mercy.
"Sir, we weren't being serious. There's no need to be so anxious. Please have a seat!"
An elder hurriedly stepped forward to ease the tension. He smiled awkwardly and struggled to speak.
After their little conflict, the atmosphere in the ship changed slightly, and the commander soon regained control of the situation.
"We're reasonable people. But considering that you ended up here unintentionally, you should give us some compensation!"
Hearing this, the Pirnaians smiled bitterly.
The commander wanted reasonable compensation no matter what.
Remember, everyone on Pirna dreamed of settling down there. They never thought that this young man would ask for compensation instead of a fair deal.
"Very well, Sir. We can provide sufficient compensation, but we're hoping to make a deal with you. What do you think about that?" the elder said slowly.
He looked straight into the commander's eyes and tried to pry for more information.
To his disappointment, this commander had never been a military commander.
He was actually an experienced psychologist.
He knew that his eyes had revealed too much information. He could not let the Pirnaians succeed!
Using the communicator, he subtly asked Wu Mo for guidance on dealing with this matter.
Over on the base camp, something crossed Wu Mo's mind when he saw the scene.
Since it was a negotiation between two equal parties, the Pirnaians had to make a higher offer. If that happened, they should go along with it!
'If you have money, we can trade. If you don't, get lost!'
"We can test their strength. If they're not up to our standards, we won't trade," Wu Mo said.
"Alright, Mr. Wu!"
Following Wu Mo's suggestion, the commander sneered.
"You want to buy an entire planet from us and make it your home. However, you're also aware that our planet is home to an extremely advanced civilization. What right do you have to buy it?" he said.
The Pirnaians were happy to hear this.
If he agreed, the following matters would be easy to handle!
"We're willing to trade more than a hundred battleships," the leader said without hesitation. "What do you think about that?"
Hmm?
More than a hundred ships?
The commander was immediately interested.
A hundred battleships were no joke!
"Mr. Wu, they would like to have Eternal Sun in exchange for a hundred advanced battleships. That's an astronomical offer!"
Everyone on the base discussed animatedly.
They could not help but fall in love with the shocking proposal. Their hearts were beating fast.
"These Pirnaians are truly rich." Someone sighed.
Wu Mo could not hide the shock on his face either. Their offer really caught him off guard.
The Pirnaians were an extravagant race. There were at least five hundred more support ships behind these one hundred battleships.
Wu Mo was secretly delighted. Since they were so rich, they had to splurge and display their wealth in front of everyone.
"A hundred ships seem too little," Wu Mo slowly said. "Tell them that they must have no less than a hundred and fifty ships!"
His words made everyone tremble in fear like a heavy bomb.
"A hundred and fifty?"
They were all shocked.
It was not a small number.
The commander was worried, and he had a bitter smile on his face.
Wasn't this request a little too much?
Even though he felt reluctant, he still conveyed Wu Mo's message.
However, everyone else had a conflicted expression on their faces. Wasn't Wu Mo's request ridiculous?
A hundred battleships was already an incredible offer, but now, he wanted fifty more?
"That is our final price. If the Pirnaians don't agree to it, we'll let them go.
"But we still have to ask for some kind of compensation that's appropriate!" the commander said coldly.
He had compared himself to an outstanding actor from the beginning.
This carefully planned transaction had played out according to Mr. Wu's instructions.
He knew that life was like a huge play.
Everyone had their own role, and they needed to perform to the best of their ability.
