My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 404 - 318: Daughter of the World (Part 3)

In fact, the leader of the Interstellar Corps twitched at the corner of his mouth after witnessing billions of Fearless Mechas obliterating the insect swarm.

Then he found Xue Dili, preparing to invite the Mecha friends to join since the addition of the Fearless Mechas to the Interstellar Corps would be a significant enhancement.

Well, it seems the Interstellar Corps also invited the people from Giant Beast Star, just like they once invited Xue Dili to join.

Although Xue Dili declined the invitation, he is still a strategic partner of the Interstellar Corps, and it seems to be a legacy of his teacher’s connections.

"I’ll have a word with it then," Xue Dili accepted this commitment. Perhaps for the Fearless Mechas, joining the Interstellar Corps would be a good thing, sparing them from the internal tribal conflicts back home, and instead, shifting their focus onto the stars and seas and eradicating the insect swarm.

Moreover, at the very least, joining an interstellar civilization should be beneficial for both the Empire and the Rebel Army’s Mechas, right?

Xue Dili doesn’t plan to directly have the Fearless Mechas join; at the time, he will merely discuss with 5332 the pros and cons of joining, leaving the decision to them to deliberate internally.

Perhaps for the Mechas from the Empire, they would still need to return home to consult with the Emperor.

And having just received the benefits from the Interstellar Corps, Xue Dili doesn’t mind merely mentioning this simple matter.

...

After leaving the medical ship of the Interstellar Corps and landing back on Giant Beast Star, Xue Dili once again felt a sense of nostalgia.

Soon, 5332 learned of Xue Dili’s recovery, and quickly he, along with a few good brothers, approached Xue Dili.

"Brother, you’ve finally awakened. I wanted to ask about that Interstellar Corps..." Unsurprisingly, 5332 and the other Fearless Mechas had sought out Xue Dili for this matter.

They received an invitation from the Interstellar Corps, but the Fearless Mechas weren’t familiar with the Interstellar Corps. In contrast, they were more acquainted with Xue Dili, even willing to heed his words over those from the Interstellar Corps.

It’s no wonder Olivia’s senior leader had sent him gifts, and then asked him to have a few good words with these Mecha brothers.

The Interstellar Corps planned a triple win here, using the gift to close the gap with Xue Dili, repay the favor of the Mutated Divine Tree data, and let Xue Dili speak favorably to the Mecha brothers.

However, Xue Dili doesn’t mind this little cunning after doing something good.

Even good people should have their own little strategies and thoughts; good people shouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

Xue Dili observed these gathered Mecha brothers; they all seemed to trust Xue Dili immensely. Perhaps in their minds, anyone willing to fund and repair 5332 and send him back to the Empire couldn’t be a bad person.

Among these Mechas, aside from 5332, there were Mechas from the Empire on one side, and Mechas from the Rebel Army on the other.

After the great enemy was eliminated, they seemed to once again divide into tribal pigs and alliance dogs, starting internal conflicts again.

"I won’t directly tell you to join or not. I will only explain the pros and cons, and whether to join will be up to your discussion," Xue Dili said.

"Listening intently," 5332 sat directly on the ground, and all the other Mechas followed suit.

A large group of towering Mechas sat on the ground propping their heads, looking at Xue Dili as he eloquently analyzed the pros and cons to them.

"The Interstellar Corps is an organization spanning multiple star systems; its origin was a group of united civilizations and idealists but later became a separate entity connecting various Life Planets and interstellar civilizations."

"By joining the Interstellar Corps, you can integrate into a piece of interstellar civilization, engage in trade and communication with other civilizations, or exchange technology. Moreover, if faced with significant disasters, the Interstellar Corps, upon knowing, definitely won’t sit idly by."

"But it’s not all advantages. The downside is it’s like the wind spinning a windmill, able to turn the windmill while possibly also breaking the window. After joining the Interstellar Corps’ trade network, you might encounter various other civilizations, some with cooperative intentions, others perhaps looking to exploit, exchanging your resources and core technology for insignificant tech, with various good or not-so-good things circulating into your world."

"It’s akin to what happens when a feudal country comes in contact with capital, the advantage being the emergence of numerous new technologies and matters, causing unprecedented progress across some aspects that otherwise might take thousands of years. The disadvantage causing inevitable turmoil within your civilization."

"Choosing reform or stability, that’s the decision you need to contemplate."

Xue Dili merely analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of joining, leaving the rest for them to deliberate amongst themselves.

He believed in 5332 and its brothers, be it of the Empire or Rebel Army, inherently they all desire the Empire to improve, merely having different paths, like in his country where different avenues were taken to save the nation.

The Rebel Army’s Mechas might subtly sense the Empire’s systemic faults and unreasonableness but lacked a voice, thus resorting to rebellion.

The Empire’s Mechas aim to sustain order and stability; even a bad order is preferable to chaos.

In this regard, Xue Dili won’t meddle; they can choose for themselves, and whatever choice is finally made, Xue Dili will bless them.

"Having stated the advantages, what about the drawbacks?" 9119 suddenly asked Xue Dili.

Xue Dili: "?"

The drawback is societal upheaval, isn’t it?

Oh, for the Rebel Army, that’s good too...

And as for the Empire’s side, they merely said, "We’ll return and submit all the information to the Empire and ministers, then reply afterward."
