Chapter 211 Design, Seduction!
After the meeting ended, Li Mozhi left with a smug look on his face.
Lin Xue, Zhao Gang, and the others immediately surrounded Su Chen's will-shaped light and shadow.
"Su Chen, what are you thinking? Isn't this like making a weasel pay New Year's greetings to a chicken?"
"Advisor, doing this will only embolden that guy and harm the alliance's future!"
"I know." Su Chen's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible amusement.
"I want him to lure them. But whether they'll be wolves or sheep is anyone's guess."
He decided to turn the tables on him.
Since Li Mo wanted to open the door, he would help him open it even wider.
He wanted to see what kind of monsters and demons were hiding behind that door.
Li Mo's actions were extremely efficient.
After receiving Su Chen's "authorization," he immediately used his hidden channels to reconnect with the "interstellar caravan" operating in the asteroid belt.
Unbeknownst to him, while he was contacting the other party, an almost imperceptible "eye" had already quietly followed him.
"Prophet, infiltrate their network. I need to know everything about them."
Su Chen's instructions were simple and clear.
"Yes, my lord."
For a "prophet" who once traversed the Milky Way, infiltrating the network of a so-called "caravan" with the level of a third-rate civilization was simpler than breathing.
"Reporting to my lord, the target network has been completely taken over."
The voice of the "prophet" soon came:
"The analysis revealed that this was not a caravan, but a space pirate group disguised as a caravan, belonging to an organization called the 'Black Flag Alliance.' Their main business was plundering and selling intelligence."
"Pirates?" A hint of understanding flashed through Su Chen's mind.
This is quite in line with the style of the "Nightmare" behind Li Mo.
Chaotic, disorderly, and full of predatory nature.
"Keep monitoring. Now, help me deliver a 'big gift' to them."
Su Chen continued to issue instructions.
Soon, within the pirate ship's internal network, an encrypted "top secret" document, seemingly leaked unintentionally, appeared in a corner of a data node.
The intelligence was very simple, consisting of only one sentence.
"At the core of Earth's civilization is a 'Seed of the World' in its early stages of awakening."
On the bridge of the pirate ship, a captain with an octopus head was listening impatiently to his subordinates' reports.
"Captain, that Earth native named Li Mo has contacted us again, saying he wants to establish some kind of formal diplomatic relations with us, and exchange their local specialties for our technology."
"Ha! A bunch of monkeys who haven't even left their home planet, dare to talk about diplomacy?"
The octopus captain waved his tentacles dismissively:
"Tell them that if they want our technology, they have to give us the coordinates of ten habitable planets in exchange!"
Just then, the intelligence officer suddenly let out a scream.
"Captain! Look at this! I just found it in a vulnerability in their network firewall!"
When the information about the "Seed of the World" appeared on the main screen, the entire bridge fell silent instantly. All the pirates' breathing became heavy.
Captain Octopus's eight eyes were wide open like copper bells, their greedy light almost overflowing.
"The Seed of the World... it's actually the Seed of the World!"
He muttered to himself, his voice trembling:
"We've struck it rich...we've struck it rich! This is a cosmic treasure that could elevate a civilization to the highest level in one leap!"
"Captain, we..."
"What are you waiting for!" Captain Octopus slammed his hand on the control panel.
"Immediately encrypt this intelligence and send it to Alliance Headquarters with the highest privileges!"
"Also, reply to that idiot named Li Mo and tell him we agree to cooperate! We, the 'Black Flag Alliance,' love helping weaker civilizations the most!"
A dirty deal was quickly struck, with both sides harboring their own ulterior motives.
Li Mo was completely unaware of this; he simply assumed that his plan had been executed flawlessly.
That night, he fell asleep with great excitement.
In that familiar dream space made of distorted light and shadow, the tall figure shrouded in black robes reappeared before him.
"Master." Li Mo knelt down respectfully.
"You did well, my servant."
The figure that Li Mo called the "Nightmare Lord" emitted a satisfied, metallic scraping sound:
"Your strategy has successfully delayed the actions of Earth's will and opened the door for us to enter the real world."
"Everything is for the glory of our master!" Li Mo said fervently.
"Your loyalty will be rewarded."
The Nightmare Lord extended a withered finger and pointed it at Li Mo's brow.
A cold and powerful force instantly surged into Li Mo's body.
He felt his mental strength increasing rapidly, and his ability to control dreams had also improved by more than one level.
He was even confident that he could make an S-class Awakened collapse in his dream with just a glance.
"This is an even stronger 'Dream Power'."
The Nightmare Lord slowly said:
"When the time is right, I will help you use this power to 'seize' control of Earth and make you the new king of that planet."
"Thank you, Master!" Li Mo trembled with excitement.
He could almost see himself ruling the earth and trampling Su Chen under his feet.
"Continue with your plan, let those pirates in. They will become the 'coordinates' for our arrival and our first sacrifices."
The Nightmare Lord's voice faded into the distance: "Remember, don't reveal yourself until the very last moment."
"Yes, Master!"
Li Mo woke up from his dream, feeling the surging new power in his mind, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
He believed he was the mastermind behind the conspiracy.
Little did he know that he had been nothing more than a puppet on strings from beginning to end.
Every meeting and every detail of his encounters with the "Nightmare Lord" in his dreams was clearly seen by a pair of invisible eyes.
At the core of the Earth, within Su Chen's space of will.
On the holographic screen of the "Prophet," an extremely faint yet incredibly clear energy fluctuation curve is displayed.
"My lord, we have successfully detected the law fluctuations emanating from the 'Power of Dreams' in the real world."
The Prophet reported, "Although extremely faint, it is sufficient for analysis and tracking."
"very good."
Su Chen's will remained completely unmoved.
The fish finally took the bait.
He not only learned about the enemy's plans, but also obtained a "sample" for analyzing the nature of the enemy's strength.
Now, it's time to prepare the tools to close the net.
Su Chen's will transcended space and directly connected with Shen Mo, who was located at the bottom of the Spark Laboratory.
Shen Mo, who was engrossed in studying an alien alloy material, suddenly felt the surrounding spatial laws distort, and Su Chen's will and image appeared in front of him.
"Advisor, what's wrong...?"
Shen Mo was somewhat surprised.
Under normal circumstances, Su Chen would rarely descend directly in this way.
"I have a new mission, and it's very important," Su Chen said bluntly.
"What mission? Could there be a problem with the main gun design of the 'Zhenyuan-class'?"
Shen Mo immediately tensed up.
"No, it's more important than that."
Su Chen's will directly transmitted the data of the law fluctuations of the "Dream Power" that he had captured to Shen Mo's mind.
After receiving the data, Shen Mo was stunned for a full half minute, his expression shifting from confusion to shock, and then to fervor.
"What...what kind of energy is this? Its fluctuations completely violate the law of conservation of mass-energy!"
"It's more like... a kind of 'information,' a 'concept,' yet it can affect real matter! My God, this... this is idealistic physics!"
"I don't care what kind of ideology it is," Su Chen interrupted his academic discussion.
"I need you. Use all your knowledge and skills to build something for me."
"What are you building?" Shen Mo's eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Su Chen's voice carried an unquestionable command.
"I want you to build a 'dream signal amplifier'."
Su Chen already had a plan in mind, so he started making arrangements early on.
Now that they have gotten what they wanted, the plan can finally officially begin.
Next, we will launch a powerful counterattack against the Nightmare's invasion!
