Bai Xiaowen closed his eyes slightly and communicated with the Blue Star Overlords group.
With a whoosh, the interface of the Blue Star Overlords group opened in his field of vision.
In the past month, unread messages flooded the screen one by one, but the number of messages was obviously not many.
Among them, there were a few messages from [@ LuWang-Xijiang-Dao]. They were leaders of some territory alliances who wanted to invite him to join and ask about his intentions. However, at that time, Bai Xiaowen was in the Shaoling Plane and could not connect to the Blue Star Overlords group. Of course, he did not see these messages.
The invitations from these territory alliances were mostly from Pan-Asia, such as "Taizong-Tang", "Mengchan-Tianfu", and so on. There were also messages from the Pu Zhao Society, from a Lord called "Varaud-Daryl".
After not receiving a response, these Lords also speculated that Bai Xiaowen had gone to the Spiritual Realm, so they temporarily gave up.
After scrolling to the end, the most common message in the Overlords group was that a certain Lord would shout that he lacked XX items, and other Lords would respond to the trade.
As for the details of the subsequent trade, of course, they would not be posted in the public chat area. They must have opened a private chat.
Bai Xiaowen also could not obtain useful information from the public chat area.
Just as Bai Xiaowen was about to scroll to the end and skip these messages, he suddenly discovered a rather large piece of news …
[Group Message: Great Xia Territory declares war on Gondor Territory!]
After this declaration of war, many lurking Lords were blown out. The number of messages exceeded 100 in a minute.
Most people were just watching the show. Only the Lords who were truly interested would try their best to persuade.
Bai Xiaowen continued reading.
Great Xia Territory belonged to the Pan-Asia Alliance, while Gondor belonged to the Celestial Court. The conflict between the two territories originated from the fight for a spiritual crystal mine.
In the end, an important Lord from each of the two organizations came forward to persuade them to make peace. The Lords of Great Xia Territory and Gondor Territory also chose to accept. In the end, they decided to arrange a Lord Battle on the Blue Star Evolutionary Platform. The winner of this battle would determine the development rights of the spiritual crystal mine.
Looking at the date of the battle, it was held a week later.
"Spiritual crystal mine? Lord Battle? "
Bai Xiaowen blinked and digested the information before continuing to scroll down.
After confirming that there was nothing else to eat, Bai Xiaowen carefully sent a message.
[Lv Wang- Xijiang: May I know which big shot has a water attribute Five Elements treasure? Newbie sincerely looking to buy one.]
Silence reigned.
Candice, who had spoken last time, didn't appear. Most likely, she was busy with other things.
However, after a moment of awkward silence, someone finally answered.
[Call Me Queen – Wu Zhou: Yo, it's a newbie. What do you want the Water Elemental Treasure for? Do you want to open a defensive barrier?]
[Lv Wang- Xijiang: Yes.]
[Valaud - Darryl: I remember that Little Brother just got promoted a month ago, right? Why haven't you activated your territory's protective shield? It's not good to be so inefficient.]
[Lv Wang- Xijiang: Sorry, I've dragged everyone down.]
Ding dong. Bai Xiaowen received a notification:
"Valaud Daryl from the Blue Star Overlord Group requests to have a private conversation with you. Do you agree? If you agree, 1 Spirit Crystal will be deducted. "
Bai Xiaowen checked and found that this was equivalent to a private call, so he had to pay for it. As for Valaud Daryl, who was on the "dialing" side, he had to pay more Spirit Crystals, and it was calculated according to the length of the conversation.
Once the conversation was connected, information such as the territory's coordinates would not be exposed.
Bai Xiaowen connected to Valaud's private conversation.
[Valaud - Daryl: Brother Lv Wang, I guess you don't have an organization, right? Actually, for a new territory like yours, as long as you join our World Illumination Association, you'll receive all kinds of resources. The organization will provide you with Spirit Crystals, spiritual materials, and territory's protective shield and teleportation gate. These are all trivial matters. In addition, the organization will also provide you with a group of slaves and high-level consultants in various industries. Your main city will be built in less than a month, including all kinds of basic living facilities.]
Bai Xiaowen replied, "This shouldn't be free. What price do I have to pay?"
[Valaud - Daryl: What price? After your territory expands and you become a powerful ally, the World Illumination Association's reputation will also grow. We'll prosper together.]
Bai Xiaowen did not believe this. "After joining the organization, who will have the rights to develop the various mineral resources in my territory?"
[Valaud - Daryl: Of course, the rights will still be yours … It's just that you don't have the ability to develop them. You can authorize other allies in the organization to develop them together and share the benefits. This is a good thing that benefits both of us.]
Bai Xiaowen already understood that he had indeed asked the crucial question.
This Lord called Valaud could not avoid Bai Xiaowen's question, so he could only try his best to beautify this process.
On the surface, the new territory would receive human resources, while the old territory would receive mineral resources, and it would be mutually beneficial.
But in reality, the mineral resources of the new territory were limited. Doing this was equivalent to overdrafting one's own potential to seek temporary development.
If Bai Xiaowen agreed to join the World Illumination Association and accept the injection of resources, the various core industries of the White Phoenix Territory would be controlled by the high-level consultant group of the World Illumination Association. The result of the economy being taken over would be a political compromise and a military garrison, becoming a vassal territory of the World Illumination Association.
As for cheating the World Illumination Association of an investment and waiting for the spirit crystals and slaves to arrive before chasing away the high-level consultant group and developing on his own?
This was even more foolish, as it would give the World Illumination Association an excuse to use force.
From the process of Great Xia declaring war on Gondor, the entire Blue Star Lords would still condemn the invasion on the surface. Starting a war without a reason would put them in a passive position under the pressure of the Starlink Alliance.
Currently, there was no organization that had the strength to ignore all the other territories. The God's Court, Pan-Asia, and the World Illumination Association were the three legs of a tripod, and they both fought and cooperated with each other.
Hence, a reasonable excuse for war was very important.
Even if other organizations intervened and mediated the dispute, they would be able to get through the crisis of war. However, White Phoenix Territory's reputation would definitely be ruined in the Blue Star Lords' group.
Offending a strong territory organization for short-term benefits was not wise, and it would also affect their interactions with the other territories.
Bai Xiaowen's advantage was that he had a large number of skeleton workers. This meant that his territory did not lack labor in the early stages. As for the various professionals, he could slowly recruit them and was not in a rush.
Maintain the independent development of the territory.
Under the circumstances of the territory's safety, he could selectively cooperate with other territories.
These two points were Bai Xiaowen's initial goals.
After rejecting the World Illumination Association's invitation, Bai Xiaowen turned his gaze to the public chat area.
Seeing the chat, his eyes lit up.
