Chapter 578: The East Side is Not Bright, the West Side is Bright

Gaia himself goes without saying; his coming here to study is only one aspect. What's important is gilding his resume, adding weight to his own standing, and making a name for himself so he can stand out within his family.

Kuta's situation is much the same. The direct line of the Jincancan Family naturally has the best teachers; coming to the Anthem of Judgment is certainly to understand the Celestial perspective and also to expand his own social circle.

Gasimi is truly here to learn things. The Zerg's own combat methods rely mainly on instinct, their physical bodies, and self-accumulation during actual combat. At the same time, she shoulders the responsibility of vindicating the Insectoids; this is the mission of every Insectoid Warrior who heads to the Heavenly Human World.

Over the next few days, everyone entered a busy state. Gaia and the others had to socialize all day, and their activities were fully booked. Given their status, it would be a very shameful thing if no one invited them. From a certain perspective, a place like the Anthem of Judgment is also a paradise for nobles.

Li Hao was also busy, busy attending classes, thirstily absorbing knowledge. A portion of it was what he already knew, but a significant portion was what he was unclear about. After all, this is the Anthem of Judgment; even if the information is processed, it is still of a high level. Combining it with some of the fragmented data he had absorbed, he could cross-reference it to facilitate a certain level of understanding of the past, present, and future of the Star River Alliance.

At this moment, Hermia was listening to the report from the Knight Leader Los. Overall, because of the Princess's coronation ceremony and the various power shifts involved, the Anthem of Judgment had attracted the attention of high-level figures from various civilizations and should have reached its strongest level in history.

"Your Highness, I propose that we begin the selection of representative teams for the Holy Grail War festival as soon as possible. Currently, those with the most qualifications are Haosen, Ning Long, Defatandisi, Lavitan, and Aoliweina. Of course, there is also Helena; although the strength of Dasha and Dao Cai Gu is not bad, their appeal is relatively weak," Los said. These individuals are all Star Officers.

"When will Helena return?" Hermia asked. "Can she represent us?"

"It's a bit difficult; the competition is extremely fierce. Of course, if you could persuade Princess Ning Long to support Helena, there might be a difference," Los said. "Helena's mission has already ended, and she is on the way back. Ahem, Your Highness, that..." Los hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Since when did you learn to be hesitant?" Hermia said. "Don't tell me Master wants me to see someone again? I have no interest."

"No, Your Highness. That person—I arranged him in the First Ring with Kuta, Gasimi, and Gaia. I have looked into these people; their character and conduct are relatively good. Do you think this is acceptable?" Los didn't know how to put it appropriately. He also didn't understand what the Princess meant by using her special privileges to recruit a Human. If he arranged it haphazardly, this Human, Youzi, would likely have a hard time.

"Which person?" Hermia was stunned for a moment before she suddenly remembered. "Ah, is he still here?"

It was just that her Master had asked her to pay attention to whether this person was in the Anthem over the past few years. After she told Shilada, she started getting busy with other things and had forgotten about this person for a moment.

"Currently, it looks like he is adapting very well, and his relationship with his neighbors is also quite good. I heard he became a Ring Leader. Your Highness has eyes like torches!" Los praised. The three people he arranged were also among the best of the newcomers, yet it turned out this Human became a Ring Leader, acting as the head of a small circle. It could only be that the Princess has great wisdom.

Hermia blushed. Fortunately, Los was looking down. He actually managed to become a Ring Leader?

"Who did you say he was assigned with?"

"Kuta of the Jincancan, Gaia of Lastaya, and Gasimi of the Strong Colonization Empire," Los said.

Hermia's gaze also revealed surprise. Kuta of the Jincancan Family is an Arcane genius born in the Golden Dragon Year of the Sea People's calendar. If nothing goes wrong, he will also be the future heir of the Jincancan Family. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his older sister Aoliweina is one of the top five Arcanists of the young generation of Sea People. She wasn't too sure about Gaia, but Lastaya is also an old-fashioned family of the Empire; those who can come to the Anthem shouldn't be bad. The Gamma Insectoid—this label alone signifies a powerhouse.

With such a lineup, that funny guy became the Ring Leader?

"You didn't make a mistake?" Hermia was a bit incredulous. "You didn't say anything, did you?"

Los shook his head. "Your Highness, I didn't say anything. Besides, it would be useless even if I did; the Jincancan certainly wouldn't listen."

Hermia nodded. That was true. She seemed to still owe the other party 50 coins, but after all, she had saved him; that had to be worth more than 50 coins.

In his residence, Li Hao sneezed several times in a row. Everyone else had gone to the activity area; he, this Ring Leader, didn't have much of a presence. The Star Swift in his hand was a good thing. He had studied it for quite a while; communication, shopping, maps, translation, storage, and even a news section—the functions were very detailed. The news section caught Li Hao's attention because, since he was in the Ozil Empire, the main information was related to the Ozil Empire. The Star River section would mention some things about other civilizations, but he didn't find anything related to Humans. There was an Anthem section that did have quite a bit of information and intelligence regarding the various Anthems, as well as mission bounties. Li Hao felt that he wasn't lured in by a string of numbers, just curious about what was so valuable.

Anthem bounties are some tricky missions, and they also put out wanted notices for interstellar fugitives, space pirates, heinous criminals, etc. In any case, it was to make them have nowhere to hide. With the influence of the Anthem in the Star River, being wanted basically meant waiting for death. Even for those with secretive movements, they basically all had to be cautious for fear of being exposed while traveling. This was not only because of the high bounty but also because of merit points.

In the future, this could be a direction for getting rich. He continued searching for intelligence related to the Solar System civilization and finally saw it in a corner.

The newly promoted Solar System civilization had dozens more Warriors promoted to official Anthem Warriors. He saw the names of Cheng Konghai, Maxis, Wuzang, Basta, and Chao Qinglong. After they mastered the Tyrant Body and experienced the combat styles and powers of other civilizations, once Humans matched with the Heavenly Martial System, their strength was absolutely more than enough. It was just that if they wanted to continue to promote upward, they would have to endure the schemes and human factors of higher civilizations.

At the same time, he also noticed one item: the first batch of Humans had accepted the Celestial Reincarnation Technology of the Galasta Galactic Core Commercial Alliance and became Celestials, signaling that the Solar System civilization was integrating into the big family of the Star River Alliance.

Celestials will always try to win over Seed Civilizations and select a significant number of people to reincarnate as Celestials, strengthening the attachment relationship and becoming a part of the Celestial Grand Alliance to consolidate their rule over the Star River Alliance.

For the Solar System, they themselves were also longing for and in need of this, even saying they couldn't ask for more. Nearly a year of time was enough for Humans to fully understand the vastness of the universe. Now, what they needed most was to improve their strength and at the same time find allies within the Star Alliance. Because they are a Celestial Seed Civilization, they cannot form alliances with other civilizations without the permission of the three major Celestial forces. The only choice is to strengthen their connection with the Celestials and improve their status within the Star River Alliance.

Humans have never lacked smart people. The current policy should be to embrace the thickest thigh, the Galasta Commercial Alliance. The Solar System Council has already designated a new development route: figure out the current distribution of forces in the Star River Alliance and their own boundaries, while maintaining a certain number of fleets. Besides that, the Galaxy Warrior is the most direct path, because the Anthem is actually relatively fair; as long as your strength reaches the level, you can achieve it.

The Anthem also commented on the characteristics of Humans. The advantage is their learning ability, inheriting the characteristics of Celestials, and possessing "Emotional Peak Value," which is the violent fluctuation of soul energy. This point seems to be even greater than the fluctuations of Celestials, so there is potential. Of course, the weakness is that due to the environment, the biological energy itself is relatively weak, the genes need to be strengthened, and they need a sufficient adaptation period. This species is completely suitable for Celestial Reincarnation, and the compatibility rate is the highest among known Celestial Seed Civilizations, which also indicates that the rise of the Solar System Alliance will be very fast. This time, those accepting reincarnation are mainly the high-level figures of the Solar System civilization.

Besides this, Kepler Planet is also a recent hot spot. The planet contains rich K23 Element, which also belongs to high-level mineral deposits in the Star River Alliance. It's just that the ownership does not entirely belong to Humans; a significant portion belongs to the Star River Alliance. Humans only obtained the mining rights and a small portion of the profits in exchange for much-needed foreign exchange.

In this regard, they also racked their brains. Don't even think about technology; they took out their artworks and anything they felt had high Human value, hoping to let more civilizations understand Humans. However, the needs and differences between civilizations are very large. It cannot be said that it was useless, but the results were minimal. The most valuable thing known is Humans themselves—"labor export"?

Currently, there is still great controversy within Human circles. The official side cannot do it, but some private groups have already started.

What happened by accident was the Lalutu Orcs. After they came into contact with Human tobacco and alcohol, they immediately became crazily obsessed. Their curiosity and greed drove them to be willing to try. The effect of these two things on them was very strong. The Solar System side was also vigorously promoting it; being able to see it even in Ozil is a proof in itself.

Other civilizations also have similar products, especially alcohol, but in terms of taste and effect, they are completely inferior to Human ones. It feels a bit like "the east side is not bright, but the west side is."

Li Hao, after all, had studied Financial Management. He opened the Star Swift and immediately started searching for "Solar System, Human, tobacco and alcohol," and sure enough, it appeared. In this year or so, Human goods had rapidly spread to the main planets of the Star River Alliance. It even meticulously classified the quality of the alcohol corresponding to the tastes of the races—for example, strong spirits are suitable for Orcs, medium-strength alcohol is suitable for Celestials, and low-alcohol is suitable for Insectoids and Sea People. After seeing the price again, Li Hao knew that what he saw in the city wasn't a profiteer. Should he quit and go back to Kepler to pull a batch of goods?

He had been in the Anthem of Judgment for some time now. Things similar to "alcoholic beverages" here were hard to describe. It's not that everything is good just because it's a higher civilization; it must be that every trade has its master. Humans really have a way when it comes to enjoyment.

He brought a bag for nothing and didn't even pack a few bottles of alcohol. Romero is also a fool; he has no business sense at all. The bag of gold coins he gave wasn't even enough to lick the bottle cap.
