Chapter 355: Cooperation

In the filthy sky, unknown rain like black oil was falling, and the whole world presented a scene of decay...

This world was more doomsday than doomsday. One couldn't see a single person on the road. Even the waitress who received Ye Nan didn't come out of the building. It was said that acid rain was a killer for women.

"Daddy, this planet is so trashy," Ripley, who had always been silent, suddenly opened her mouth, and even she couldn't look down on this planet.

"Although this planet is trashy, it is not beyond saving," Ye Nan gently stroked Ripley's hair, combing his daughter's hair. "Just govern the pollution, and this planet can be lived in. After all, a life planet is too rare, even if its resources have been exhausted."

"In the universe, there are countless planets. These planets are like water droplets in the ocean, numerous. But these planets cannot be lived in. They lack necessary conditions, so life planets are exceptionally precious."

"But they don't cherish this planet at all," Ripley said stubbornly: "If this planet were precious, they wouldn't treat it like discarded shoes."

"So we came," Ye Nan explained to Ripley with a smile: "They don't cherish this planet, but we cherish it."

In Ye Nan's view, the people of this so-called Federal Earth were simply stupid. They dug empty the planet, cut down all the trees, and in the end, didn't think about governing, but instead wholeheartedly wanted to find a new life planet, and then continue to develop their so-called technology.

Unfortunately, life planets were not so easy to find. The universe was vast, and there were countless planets, but life planets were precious. Every one was incomparably rare.

"Uh... hmm. It seems some kind of change has occurred," Simila said, then began to self-examine, checking her own data to see if some kind of change had taken place. Soon, she noticed that within her core data, there were several segments of unknown code. These codes were not written in any machine language, yet they were perfectly integrated with the machine language that constructed Simila, thereby producing some kind of change.

"But we still need to arrange some things. At least before leaving, we must give this planet some trauma," Ye Nan said to Ripley.

One year. He had a full year to arrange on this planet. After one year, he had to leave and return to Pan Duola to preside over the attack on the Na'vi. In his heart, Pan Duola was his foothold, and this Federal Earth would be the second home of the Time-Space Empire.

"Hmm," Ripley nodded. Although she didn't know what the arrangement her father mentioned was, nodding to agree with her father was always right.

Ye Nan held Ripley's little hand and walked in the rain. If someone walked close to Ye Nan at this time, they could feel that there was no acid rain or car exhaust wind around Ye Nan.

The streets of New York were very different from the New York on Earth. In the streets of New York on this Federal Earth, there were buildings similar to the East, making Ye Nan think he had come to China.

"Daddy, are these the buildings you usually like very much?" Ripley pointed to a building similar to the Tang Dynasty and said.

This was a stone tower-shaped structure, about three stories high, and the whole presented a dark blue color.

"Yes, Ripley, this is a building of an ancient dynasty in our East," Ye Nan said, "Go, Ripley, let's go in and take a look. Maybe we can use this as a breakthrough point."...

Ye Nan said, and walked into the building with Ripley. Only after walking in did he find that this was a teahouse, but this teahouse was relatively deserted, almost no one, and even people, there was only one, and he was a young Chinese man who was playing games with great interest.

"Waiter, guests are here," Ye Nan called out, and sat down on a chair at random.

"Oh." The waiter left the computer reluctantly, walked to Ye Nan, and said: "I am the boss of this shop."

"Boss?" Ye Nan looked at this young man, looked at him carefully, determined that the other party had no strangeness, and said: "Good, boss, do you have any tea or something here?"

The young man looked at Ye Nan, looked left and right, saw that Ye Nan didn't look like he was here to find trouble, and opened his mouth: "Are you kidding? How could I have tea here?"

"No tea?" Ye Nan asked strangely. Suddenly he remembered the cover-like thing he had seen, and understood.

Even cabbage, such ordinary vegetables, needed a cover to protect them, and needed many people to take care of them carefully, so tea, such a relatively delicate thing, must need more effort. Perhaps this planet did have it, but it was definitely not something a small teahouse could have.

"Sorry, it was indeed my recklessness," Ye Nan said with a trace of apology.

"It doesn't matter." The young man's face looked much better. From Ye Nan's words just now, he guessed that Ye Nan was someone used to drinking tea. In fact, there was indeed tea on this planet, but tea was generally offered to high-ranking officials or consortium leaders. In the black market, the price of tea had long been hyped to 138 million federal coins (Note: a currency of Federal Earth, similar to the US dollar). Facing such high-ranking officials who could drink tea at any time, he couldn't afford to offend them. He naturally didn't know that Ye Nan was not a high-ranking official at all, but a person from another planet.

"I have some tea here, all from good water, all used to irrigate the vegetable garden. You can taste it."

"No need." Ye Nan refused the young boss's kindness with a calm face, but there was a faint feeling of sadness in his heart.

Humans, this creature that once claimed to be the spirit of all things, when did they fall to the point of using water for irrigating vegetable gardens as enjoyment? From the young boss's words, he could hear that the water humans usually drank was definitely not as good as the water for irrigating vegetables.

"Also, like you who drink tea, you definitely won't drink our water. Alas. I don't know when I will be able to drink a mouthful of clean water," the young boss sighed, seeming to be somewhat nostalgic, and seeming to be somewhat hesitant.

"Do you regret it?" Ye Nan asked calmly, "Do you regret that humans destroyed this planet?"

"Regret, but what is the use of regret." The young boss revealed a bitter smile, "Struggling in the stinking water every day, eating liquid food without any taste every day, I have long since forgotten what the sense of taste is used for."

Liquid food was a kind of free food manufactured by the Federal Government. It was like toothpaste, without any taste, but humans had to eat it because it contained all the energy and nutrition humans needed. Only by eating it could they survive.

This world was full of pollution. When acid rain like black oil fell from the sky, people didn't dare to go out. Only when the acid rain stopped did they dare to go to receive food. Usually, they would nest at home and play games.

"If I give you a chance to get rid of this life, how would you choose?" Ye Nan tapped his fingers on the table, making a thumping sound.

Talking to this young boss, he discovered that he was wrong before. He always thought about how to defeat the other party, kill the other party, and then occupy the planet. In fact, it was a wrong idea....

Any civilization, when facing the attack of another civilization, will resist, but this does not mean there are no other people who know the times here. For ordinary common people, as long as they live well, in fact, who rules them really doesn't matter.

If Ye Nan could win over these bottom-level people and let them live the life before the Earth was polluted, perhaps they would directly overthrow the government, instead of letting Ye Nan attack.

"Get rid of this life?" The young boss was stunned. He looked at Ye Nan in confusion, not understanding what Ye Nan meant. From the literal meaning, Ye Nan seemed to want to help him, but he didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky.

"If I can let you live on a planet before it was polluted, would you be happy?" Ye Nan added a sentence, "Of course, this has a price."

Sure enough, the young boss thought to himself. Then he struggled. He didn't want the current life, but if he had to pay a price, he was somewhat unwilling. After all, although the current life was hard and the body was poor, at least there was still a life.

"That depends on what the price is." The young boss said hesitantly: "If the price is too high, I would rather continue to live this life. It is better to live than to die."

Ye Nan listened to the young boss's words and didn't show disdain for him. Instead, he said solemnly: "Indeed, even ants want to live, let alone you haven't reached the point of despair yet. But if there really is such an opportunity before you, and the price is not very high, would you be willing to pay this price?"

"The price is not high?" The young boss thought to himself. If the price was not high, he would want it. After all, he had had enough of this damn environment and had had enough of the so-called online games. In fact, any game, if you play it for ten years, you will feel bored. After all, 99% of the people in this world are proletarians, relying on government welfare to live.

However, he was not a person without any scheming. He would not jump in without reservation after Ye Nan drew a big cake. He needed to ask what the price was.

"I want to know what the price is. If this price is something I can't do, I won't pay it," the young boss said.

"Support," Ye Nan said, "I intend to dominate the current government, so I need support."

Judging from the little scattered data Ye Nan had in his hands, the Federal Government was an interesting government. It was what the so-called representatives chosen by the people, and then these representatives chose the president. And the reason Ye Nan said it was interesting was because these so-called representatives were all the heads of large consortiums. That is to say, the elected Federal President was actually the head of the largest consortium.

Ye Nan didn't know why this was. The data in his hands didn't have information about this. However, he still made a small plan: win over ordinary people, support representatives who were friendly to him, and then push his own people to the position of president, letting him announce the merger into the Time-Space Empire.

In this regard, Ye Nan could be said to be familiar with the road. The only obstacle was the candidate problem, but this obstacle would soon be cleared.

"You want to be president?" The young boss was horrified.

What exactly is a president? In fact, many people were clear about it. However, everyone had no interest in the presidential election. For them, participating in the presidential election was just being bored.

However, now someone said to him, come and support me, and I will let you return to the life before the pollution, which immediately ignited the flame of passion in his heart.

"If you want me to vote for you, I will definitely agree," the young boss said. For him, it was just voting, and it didn't need to spend any thought, so it didn't matter if there was a price or not....

"No." Ye Nan shook his head, denying the young boss's words. "If it were just voting, I wouldn't make such a promise. You should understand that there are many other people on this planet. If I made such a promise to everyone, wouldn't I be a big fool?"

"Then what do you mean?" The young boss asked carefully.

Although he knew that pie would not fall from the sky, when Ye Nan denied it, he still felt a bit of pity in his heart.

"You do things for me, mainly contacting those people, letting them help me vote together. The more you contact, the better the treatment will be in the future." Ye Nan finally said his answer.

His current identity was a guest of Sodo of the RDA company. If Sodo knew he was winning over the people of Federal Earth, Sodo would definitely be very uneasy, so he couldn't come forward personally for this matter. Not only could he not come forward personally, but everything that might leak his plan could not be said.

He understood very well that restoring the environment was very influential. Once it spread, it would inevitably attract the attention of some companies. When checked, it would be exposed. Of course, he was not afraid of being exposed, but he couldn't be exposed so quickly. He needed some time to prepare.
