"So does the Lucent civilization mean to stand against our human civilization completely?"
Shen Cong Fei's question was quickly answered.
"Commander Shen, there is no malice in the Lucent civilization. As long as you are willing to hand over the Divine Artifact, we will continue to assist humanity by offering materials for the construction of the stellar extraction device freely."
"Tch, tch, tch, still offering for free? After taking our Divine Artifact."
"So is the Divine Artifact not worth much?"
"Commander Shen is joking. We are merely keeping the Divine Artifact in safe custody, we have no intentions of taking it for ourselves."
The emissary from the Lucent Star must have studied human culture thoroughly before arriving because he sure knows how to navigate the nuances of human conversation.
"Alright, let's say things go the way you've described. How can I be sure that the Lucent Star aliens will not abuse the power of the Divine Artifact?"
