Chapter 1529: Chapter 499: In the Beginning, No One Cared... (6k)_2

"Yes, yes..."

Sisos, as an 8th Rank powerhouse, rarely showed such a docile demeanor.

There was no choice; after all, she was his wife, and since their days as teacher and student, their relationship had progressed.

Sisos knew well that his immense influence was built entirely by his wife, who managed all sorts of affairs, allowing him to focus all his energy on his personal growth.

He still had great understanding for his wife.

Though still annoyed inside, seeing Sisos’s sincere attitude softened the icy demeanor of the female student.

"Alright, alright, I’ve been done in by you for this life!"

With a bit of grumbling, her mood lightened considerably.

She tapped a few times on the tablet next to her and pulled up some information.

"Since you started your experiment, Fan Mao’s temporary repair factories haven’t stopped working. The repair and construction speeds of each ship are different.

There are certain differences based on the size and model of the warship, which offer no reference value.

But the issue is evident in the resource consumption.

Based on the current consumption, when those ruins were reshaped into warships, every warship consumed more than twice as much material as it should have.

The specific ratio is 1:2.38, but since this is merely an estimate, there may be some unavoidable error involved.

But we can basically conclude that unless those newly-built warships are solid, such consumption is highly unusual.

Judging by the sheer amount of vanished materials, these repair factories would surely burst!"

The tablet displayed all the data explained, with all the parameters presented in the way Sisos preferred.

Seeing such obviously unreasonable data, Sisos seemed unsurprised.

After a moment, he nodded and said:

"Using more materials is not surprising. This consumption rate must be connected to Fan Mao’s special ability as a Contractor...

Heh, I had already received related intelligence from the Gemini Civilization.

Fan Mao comes from within the Paradise as a Lord of the Lord’s Paradise.

And the signature ability of such Lords is the power to swiftly build things by consuming resources at a multiplied rate, warships being one of them."

"I see...

Then it makes sense. Consuming double the materials for swift repair and manufacturing, plus using more for certain precious parts, mathematically aligns with the observed results.

Who would’ve thought, Contractors of the Paradise possess such abilities...

The Paradise...

Wait, you had this intelligence all along and didn’t tell me?"

The female student, deep in thought, immediately realized something, placed her hands on her waist and glanced at Sisos, eyes pretending to be angry.

Sisos felt a twinge of caution and scratched his head awkwardly, trying to explain:

"This, this is because it was classified information from the Gemini Civilization...

Even mentioning it to you now is against the rules!

Ah! Alright, alright, the resource compensation from the Three Great Civilizations has arrived; perhaps we should go receive it first?"

Knowing that the topic might land him in trouble for the night, Sisos decisively changed the subject.

Fortunately, the female student wasn’t unreasonable, understanding that it wasn’t Sisos’s fault. She merely snorted and got up from her seat, heading straight for the door of the chamber. Only when she reached the door did she hesitate a moment, speaking without turning back:

"What, do I need to extend a personal invitation for my dear Sisos teacher to accompany me?"

"Huh? Ah! Coming!"

Sisos’s eyes lit up, sensing that he’d probably weathered this "disaster," and quickly went over to accompany her as they left the chamber together.

Receiving resources was the simplest task for two high-tier individuals, almost akin to a vacation.

Traversing space with their physical bodies, they bantered playfully along the way to the predetermined coordinates.

Within the flagship of the convoy, the person in charge of transporting the goods had long been waiting. Upon seeing Sisos, he immediately stepped forward and said:

"Lord Sisos!"

"Ah, it’s you. I didn’t expect you to escort the shipment this time.

I’ve come to collect the resource compensation; how long until it’s ready?"

Sisos, who had just been quietly conversing, recognized the envoy he had interacted with during his dealings with the Gemini Civilization.

"Ah, yes! The items are ready, and you can retrieve them at any time.

This is your resource allocation; would you like to check it?"

As the person in charge spoke, he took out a tablet listing the inventory of goods he had exchanged for his contributions in the recent war.

With just a glance, Sisos was satisfied and handed the tablet back.

"No need. In this regard, I trust the Three Great Civilizations.

However, since you’re here, that means the next target has already been decided, right?"

This envoy role for interacting with a high-tier powerhouse was quite special — not high and mighty, but far from just any ordinary position that could be casually assigned.

It was a rather independent role within the political system of the Three Great Civilizations, with their authority and status firmly tied to the high-tier individuals they interacted with.

After all, if a new envoy were introduced without establishing rapport with a high-tier individual, it could potentially incur the displeasure of the high-tier powerhouse.

Typically, they wouldn’t be reassigned to other positions.
