Aliens on Earth [Interstellar]

Chapter 29: Forming an Alliance 07

　It's not kind to make a blank promise, but it's not kind to ask them to agree to an undecided condition. Who knows what you'll fill in that blank condition box then? Who knows if your request will exceed the bottom line when you fulfill the lion's mouth?

　　Therefore, after listening to Ji Lin's report, Yao Sheng frowned immediately. Not only did he feel that this was too much to ask, but almost all the members who accompanied him at the scene showed dissatisfaction. Take the switch knife that will fall at any time. Sooner or later it will be cut with a knife, there is no definite number of how deep it will be cut, this is too insecure.

　　Yao Sheng didn't respond right away. The cooperation with Resende is mainly in military operations, so he was selected as a representative by the higher authorities, but there are no powerful cadres from the central government present. Yao Sheng was silent for a while, and then a kind-looking middle-aged man spoke.

　　"First of all, I am very grateful that you came here to negotiate with us for the elimination of man-eating beasts. If you are willing to help, we will not be stingy with what is due to you." The man smiled, and some wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes "However, there are only two of you who participated in the operation to eliminate man-eating beasts. If you make such a request, isn't it a bit unfair to get and give?" Ji Lin translated for Resende.


　　Leisende looked at the middle-aged man, and said: [The two of us killed a total of four Asi beasts, which are the man-eating beasts you call, how many did you kill? 】

　　After hearing Ji Lin's report, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Yao Sheng. Yao Sheng coughed dryly, and silently turned his gaze away, none of them had been killed, it was really hard to say! What a shame! The chief is also true, what are you looking at him for? It's not that he doesn't know the answer.

　　"Killed four?" Yao Sheng was in embarrassment, and the old professor of the Academy of Sciences also turned his unhappy eyes to him, "One of the corpses of the cannibals is in the research institute in City S, and two are in our Academy of Sciences. Is there another one? Where did the corpse go?"

　　Yao Sheng: "..." What am I doing? And I didn't harbor the carcass of a man-eating beast!

　　Yao Sheng remained silent, but the old professor of the Academy of Sciences was stubborn and insisted on knowing where the body of the remaining man-eating beast went. Lu Sishui had no choice but to help with the inventory: "Cough! Regarding the corpses of man-eating beasts, we found one from an alley, one was in a restaurant, and the other was received in a supermarket three days ago. place..."

　　After Lu Sishui finished speaking, he looked at Resende, obviously wanting to ask him about the whereabouts of a man-eating beast corpse.

　　Ji Lin asked Lei Sende for help.

　　Lei Sende was puzzled, just now he said that the record of killing Asmon was to show that they were definitely the main force in the cooperation against Asmon, why did the other party suddenly care about the whereabouts of Asmon's body? I thought so, but Resende still gave the answer. The bodies of the three killed by him have all been picked up by the earthlings, and the remaining one was killed by Lucas, who was buried in a place where no one was there.

　　"Buried?!" Hearing the answer, the old professor of the Academy of Sciences suddenly became excited, "How can it be buried casually? What should we do if the soil is polluted? What should we do if there is a mutation in the ground? This unknown creature can be anything. Appeared! How could you be so reckless?!"

　　[No, it will naturally rot after a while. 】

　　"You know a lot about man-eaters?" the old professor asked suspiciously.

　　[Of course, they also come from our Mandel star field, and they have always been disasters that we are committed to eradicating. Of course, we know it well. ] Resende said, suddenly thinking that this can also be regarded as a bargaining chip, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth happily, 【Killing Asimon's absolute combat power, and being able to provide Asimon-related information, agree to my reserved conditions , what do you think? 】

　　As soon as Ji Lin translated Leisende's words, the old professor was dumbfounded. He just gave the other party a bargaining chip in his hand! At the beginning, Leisende only mentioned the combat power against man-eating beasts, and did not mention any information about man-eating beasts. At that time, he obviously didn't know that they didn't know much about man-eating beasts, so he didn't expect to use it as a bargaining chip. Speaking of the number of dead bodies he grabbed... yes! It's revealed!

　　The old professor backed away silently with a guilty conscience, and Yao Sheng and the others were also overwhelmed. Things that could have been taken for nothing, now they realize that the value is money. Want to make the other party take a step back, but now they can only take a step back.

　　Yao Sheng glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke just now, and saw that he was silent, which meant that he agreed to retreat.

　　He cleared his throat, and said again: "We can agree to your conditions, but your conditions must have a limit. What if the conditions you raise exceed our tolerance?" tolerance range? ] Resende asked.

　　"For example...do you want to rule this planet?"

　　[We only have two people, do you think we can rule the earth? ]

　　"In case the people from your star field come one day..."

　　[Then they won't want to rule this planet. 】

　　"How do you know?" Yao Sheng asked back.

　　【Too far. 】Resende said, 【The Mandel Starfield will focus on recording the planets with living organisms in the extraterritorial exploration, and mark them on the starship voyage map. The galaxy where your earth is located has never appeared on the navigation map, which means that it is very far away from the outermost galaxy in the Mandel star field. It is unrealistic to rule a galaxy so far away, and it is impossible to control it. Even if immigrants occupy it, not many people are willing to come to such a distant galaxy. 】

　　In the back and forth wrangling, the two sides finally reached a consensus. Resende is assisting the military to eradicate man-eating beasts. The government provides them with a living requirement and gives them the same rights and interests as the aborigines. Leak the identity of the alien; at the same time, the government agreed to unconditionally agree to a condition proposed by Resende in the future, within the scope of its ability. Because only the Chinese side participated in this negotiation, and the Chinese side does not represent the whole planet, the conditions must not require anything beyond the scope of authority.

　　The agreement is in duplicate, and the draft document is signed on the spot.

　　Looking at the paper full of Chinese, Lei Sende simply handed the document to Ji Lin, 【You help me read it. 】

　　The document still smelling of ink was stuffed into his hand, Ji Lin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Leisende to ask him to help read such an important document. Although it was true that among the people present who could understand him, he had a closer relationship with Resende, but Ji Lin was surprised by his complete trust without any hesitation.

　　"Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?" Ji Lin almost blurted out the words.

　　【Um? Are you going to lie to me? 】Resende raised his eyebrows.

　　"No." Ji Lin shook his head slightly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the perennial indifference between his eyebrows and eyes seemed to melt a little.

　　"Since the cooperation agreement has been established, we will not do anything to deceive the interstellar friends." Yao Sheng stamped the copy in his hand, signed it as a representative, and pushed the document in front of Resende, "This negotiation They are all recorded on-site with video and audio, and you can make a copy and take them away." 

      After signing the agreement, Lu Sishui and Yao Sheng sent Lei Sende and his party out of the administrative building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the car to take them back was early. Arranged to wait downstairs.

　　"Where you live, we will make arrangements as soon as possible, and we will notify you in these two days." Lu Sishui said to Resende, "We still have things to do, so we won't entertain you today, and we will meet tomorrow.

　　Saying goodbye to each other, Ji Lin just followed Lei Sende into the rear parking space when Lu Sishui suddenly walked over quickly and knocked on the window glass .

　　Ji Lin rolled down the car window and looked at Lu Sishui suspiciously.

　　"Cough! Ji Lin, how is your job in the supermarket?" Lu Sishui asked with a dry cough.

　　"After the man-eater broke into the receiving area last time, the supermarket seemed to be building some protective measures, so it closed for a week. I will go to work after normal business hours." 

"Have you considered quitting your job at the supermarket?" 

After Lu Sishui finished speaking, he felt that what he said seemed a little inappropriate, so he quickly added, "I mean we need to communicate with Resende here, and we cannot do without your translator for the time being. So I wonder if you can resign Work in a supermarket, come to us as an interpreter, of course we will give you a reasonable salary."

　　Ji Lin didn't answer right away, he didn't think about it, and this time he came to help Resende translate, he just wanted to help Resende. In the future, if Leisende needs it, he will still help with translation, but he never thought of turning this into a job to earn wages. He doesn't really understand the alien language, and he can do translations in it all because of the translator provided by Resende.

　　"We will send someone to learn their language in Resende as soon as possible, and I hope you can help teach it." Lu Sishui paused, then continued, "Don't get me wrong, I am not forcing you to resign, you It doesn't matter if you don't want to. But at least take the time to help our people learn the language from Resende and the others, and we will give you corresponding rewards." 

         "I'll go back and think about it."

　　Ji Lin doesn't like too complicated environment, research The institute is already a relatively simple place, but there are still people like Zhang Wen who make him feel embarrassed. But agreeing to Lu Sishui to be an interpreter, the environment he will devote himself to will only be more complicated than the research institute. He has self-knowledge, it is not something he can handle. It's better to choose to teach Lu Sishui's people to learn the language...Let Leisende and the others also learn Chinese at that time, so that he should not be needed soon.

　　The car that sent them back drove out of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but Ji Lin still didn't tell him. Finally, Leisende couldn't help but ask, 【What did that person tell you just now? 】

　　"It's nothing, he asked me to be the translator between you, and then they paid me the salary."

　　Resende frowned.

　　Seeing this, Ji Lin thought that Resende was angry, and hurriedly said, "I have no intention of agreeing. I can understand your words because of the translator you gave me. I don't have the brazenness to rely on your things to make money."

　　【Why do you ask them to pay for your translation? 】Resende's tone was full of dissatisfaction, 【You are on my side, and I will pay you if you want to pay. ]

　　Ji Lin: "..." Are you dissatisfied with this?

　　[Young commander, do you have money? ] Lucas looked back at Resende. Where did they get the money? All the clothes they were wearing were bought by Ji Lin!

　　[It will be available soon, they said they will open an account for me and call me 10,000 a month. ] After Lei Sende finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ji Lin again, 【How much salary do you want to get? 】
