Upon hearing Ernest's arrival, Xiao Ran also put down the child in his arms and met the tall Ernest in the manor's reception room. Ernest came this time for the two technologies that Xiao Ran had his eyes on and to give Xiao Ran an accurate answer.
When Xiao Ran walked into the reception room, he saw Ernest, who was twice as tall as a normal person, sipping tea from a normal-sized teacup with two fingers. After seeing Xiao Ran, he quickly put down the teacup and stood up to salute Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran had been on Planet Ragnar for some time, and during this time, Ernest also used his intelligence to learn more about Xiao Ran and the fleet located in the center of the Milky Way from Torres. He also gradually understood how terrifying Xiao Ran's power and identity were.
At least from what Ernest learned, Xiao Ran was a legendary figure who led a fleet to suppress the New Unified and forced the noble heads of the New Unified to surrender. His power was amazing, and he had countless followers in the New Unified and the current Milky Way. A single word from him could once again plunge the Milky Way into turmoil. He was definitely the most senior figure standing at the top of the Milky Way.
Therefore, when he saw Xiao Ran this time, Ernest was far more nervous than the last time he saw Xiao Ran. However, this nervousness was not due to fear, but purely due to his cautiousness when facing a high-level figure. In addition, he received another warning from the higher-ups of Caius that he must maintain absolute respect for Xiao Ran, so Ernest completely put away his casual appearance and faced Xiao Ran in a serious manner.
After seeing Ernest, Xiao Ran also felt the nervousness and cautiousness in the other party's heart. He smiled calmly and gestured for the other party to sit down. Then, he sat in front of Ernest and said, "It's been a few days since we last met, Captain Ernest."
Ernest sat down and said cautiously, "Yes, I hope I didn't disturb Lord Xiao Ran this time."
Xiao Ran said with a smile, "You seem to be very nervous. I thought we were supposed to be friends, and you wouldn't look at me with that strange look. With your personality, Ernest, you shouldn't be such a person."
Ernest grinned. He suddenly felt that Xiao Ran was really charming. A very simple sentence from him could make most of the nervousness in his heart dissipate. He grinned and said, "Thank you, Lord Xiao Ran, for treating me as a friend. However, Lord Xiao Ran's identity makes me treat you more seriously. this time, I'm not here as a friend, but as a representative of Caius..
. "" Okay. " Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I understand. But no matter what identity you have, at least the person who came here is you, Ernest, and not someone else. As for the deal I want to make with Caius, I don't think it needs to be so formal at all. It's just a simple matter of a sentence."
What Ernest didn't know was that Xiao Ran had been using his ability to calm Ernest's nervousness while talking to him. It was just that this ability was too mysterious for Ernest, so he didn't realize how fast his emotions changed. He simply thought that Xiao Ran was filled with a unique charm that could easily make people fall into a peaceful state and make people feel close to him.
Xiao Ran sat down and took the initiative to pick up the teapot on the table and filled Ernest's cup with tea. Then, he said, "I feel like every time I see you guys, I tell you not to be nervous. I'm just a normal person with two arms and a pair of legs. But this time, I'll tell you to relax. We don't have any direct relationship."
"Yes, Lord Xiao Ran," Ernest said with a smile. After taking a sip of tea to calm himself down, he said to Xiao Ran, "Lord Xiao Ran, regarding the two technologies you mentioned before, after I reported it to the higher-ups, I received a reply today, so I immediately came here to arrange it."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Ernest's expression was a little awkward, as if he felt sorry for Xiao Ran. He said, "Regarding the two technologies that Lord Xiao Ran wants, the cross-dressing technology and the biological fold wave detection technology, the higher-ups are willing to give the cross-dressing technology to Lord Xiao Ran, but they're unwilling to give up the biological fold wave detection technology. After all, this technology is one of the fundamental technologies of Caius. But in order to express our apologies to Lord Xiao Ran, we're willing to give the cross-dressing technology to Lord Xiao Ran for free. I hope you can forgive us, Lord Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Only the cross-dressing technology? It seems like I've done something difficult, hehe."
After a gentle smile, Xiao Ran waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, Ernest. You don't have to blame yourself. This was originally a rude request that I suddenly made. Using money to buy a technology that is fundamental to Caius is indeed a little too difficult. It's already good enough to get the cross-dressing technology."
"However, I don't think it's appropriate to get the technology for free. It feels like I'm using my power to oppress others. How about this, after I get the cross-dressing technology, I'll let my people evaluate it. When the time comes, I'll also give Caius a certain amount of compensation."
"If Lord Xiao Ran can understand, then that would be the best." Ernest smiled awkwardly and said to Xiao Ran, "Although I don't really understand the actions of the higher-ups, in the current situation, it's actually a good thing to find more singers who can suppress berserkers. However, as a member of Caius, I can't judge whether the actions of the higher-ups are right or wrong. After all, Caius is just a company, so if Lord Xiao Ran needs Caius' help, you can contact us."
"It's okay, I understand. If there's anything I need your help with, I won't hesitate to ask." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Just because we can't reach an agreement once doesn't mean that there's no possibility of continuing the discussion. You can also help me ask the higher-ups of Caius if they have any requests. Negotiations are just a matter of time."
Ernest nodded, "I'll ask them again when I get back."
Xiao Ran smiled and took a sip of tea before asking, "How's the goddess selection going? Have you found a suitable candidate?"
