the only savior

Chapter 1049 Strength Certification
Ziwei suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, her face was embarrassed, and she began to play tricks.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't speak, just looked at her silently.

Ziwei finally couldn't stand it any longer, so she had to admit:

"Well, I did say... Forget it, there is nothing I can't tell you, anyway, many people already know..."

She sighed and said slowly:
"At this stage, the Protoss Council is not stable. The Eleven Elders are plotting against each other, uniting and hindering each other, completely disregarding the interests of the entire alliance, just to seek the position of the Great Elder."

"Seeking the position of Great Elder, you mean..."

"That's right, the Great Elder of the Protoss Council has disappeared for thousands of years! Not only the Great Elder, but even the entire race behind the Great Elder has ceased to exist!"

Ziwei spread her hands, and said the truth helplessly:

"Actually, this is no longer a secret. Many people know that the protoss family was killed by the demon lord... But what people don't know is that the current protoss council is becoming more and more chaotic. If it continues like this, Sooner or later it will lead to disaster..."

She spoke and looked at Zhang Xiaoman, then at Arcatus and Hilna at the side, and said:
"You... I only told you as friends. Don't go out and talk nonsense with others! If this matter is found out by interested people, I'm afraid there will be some trouble..."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman was a little moved.

Although this woman is sometimes a bit naive, she really regards herself and others as friends.

Such a deduction of a person can actually spend so much money for them to stay in a hotel, just from this point of view, it can explain the situation.

"Well, don't worry, I won't tell others about these things, and neither will they."

Zhang Xiaoman responded.

Although his face looked calm, his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.

The Great Elder of the Protoss Council is Protoss, and he has disappeared for tens of thousands of years!
He suddenly recalled that when he met Nefaya for the first time, the other party had said similar things.

Now Zhang Xiaoman has a very strong memory, and many times even if he just overheard something by accident, he can recall it when he needs it.

He remembered that when he saw Nefaya for the first time on Water Blue Planet, the other party was very surprised when he saw Jiujiu, and subconsciously said such a sentence.

"Xing, the star spirit...? How could it be the star spirit!? The star spirit has obviously been wiped out by the devil!"

It was only then that Zhang Xiaoman realized one thing, the origin of this little thing, Jiujiu, seemed unusual.

It is not just an orange skill drawn by the system, it has its own race and background, and it is a Protoss from the second universe.

"No, not so sure..."

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head.

Jiujiu may really be the protoss as Nefaya said, but it doesn't necessarily come from the second universe.

After all, when Ni Yang saw Jiujiu, she also showed surprise.

Moreover, the other party's name for the little guy is different from Nefaya's, but it is called "Sky Fox".

Where exactly Jiujiu came from is still uncertain, and the little thing can't explain clearly.

But what is certain is that it should really be a protoss.

Zhang Xiaoman still trusts Nefaya's judgment. He seems to have an innate ability to recognize, and he can even see his half-transcendent foundation.

"If Jiujiu is a protoss, then if I bring it to the Dark Star Alliance, will it..."

Zhang Xiaoman's heart began to become lively, and small thoughts gradually emerged.

It is definitely impossible to say that you are not greedy for the various resources here.

Not to mention relying on Jiujiu to completely control the Dark Star Alliance, but if it gains a certain right to speak and benefits, then Zhang Xiaoman is definitely willing to give it a try.

"No, you can't be too impulsive..."

However, in the next second, he secretly shook his head.

Not to mention that I have no way to go back for the time being, and I can't bring Jiujiu here.

Even if he succeeded in planting branches of the World Tree in both worlds, what would happen after he brought Jiujiu here?
Since the demon lord killed all the protoss, if Jiujiu came here, would he be hunted down by the other party as well?

Although Zhang Xiaoman has a dark star ring that can block tracking, can he guarantee that Jiujiu will stay with him all the time?

Once there is a mistake in this, the result must be unacceptable.

What's more, even if you take ten thousand steps back, the Demon Lord can't sense Jiujiu's location under his own influence, but will the elders of the Protoss Council really recognize Jiujiu's identity?

This is clearly an unknown.

Even if Zhang Xiaoman has never played power tricks, he is still the leader of the Star Alliance after all, and he knows how attractive power is to a person.

Especially in the current situation, it is the same as the ancient imperial power.

The old emperor was arrested, and the new emperor ascended the throne. As a result, your old emperor was released again at this time. So what is waiting for you is to regain control of the government, or be isolated by the new emperor, or even persecuted?

In short, everything is not as simple as imagined, and a long-term plan is still needed.

On the side, Ziwei couldn't help shaking the newly grown hand in front of Zhang Xiaoman after seeing Zhang Xiaoman's silent thinking.

"Hey, I said, what are you thinking? We're here!"

"Are you there?"

Zhang Xiaoman came back to his senses and looked around.

I saw a crystal circle under my feet, with intricate and exquisite patterns engraved on it. I passed the teleportation point and came to another area.

"here is……?"

"Didn't you say you want to sell some materials for star coins? Here, ahead."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the building not far away again, and a big question mark appeared on his head.

"I know, but since it's selling materials, why did you bring me to the Dark Spirit Association? Shouldn't you go to the trading center?"

Ziwei chuckled.

"Then what... I forgot to tell you. Since you are going to the trading center to sell materials, you must pay taxes. So I will bring you here to register as a dark spirit user, and then do a strength verification by the way. In this way, the taxes and fees you need to pay during the transaction will be reduced accordingly, isn’t it very cost-effective?”

"Oh? There is such a good thing? How much can I lose?"

Zhang Xiaoman became interested.

Ziwei scratched her fingers and said:
"Under normal circumstances, if ordinary people sell dark spirit materials, they need to pay a 6% tax. If they are a dark spirit person, then the tax can be reduced by 1%..."

"If you do the strength certification again, after you have the qualification certification of the control level, the tax amount will be reduced to 4%, the median control level is 2%, and the upper control level is fully tax-free."

"Oh, by the way, if you sold it to the Dark Souls Association, with the certification of the lower-level control level, you don't have to pay taxes."

"..."

Zhang Xiaoman heard her introduce a lot, and he had an idea in his heart.

Generally speaking, this is still a world that respects strength.

The higher the strength, the better the treatment in the Dark Star Alliance.

"In that case, let's go in quickly, by the way, it shouldn't take too long, right?"

Ziwei's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, her purple hair curled up, and she said happily:

"No, no, it will be fine soon, let's go, I will take you there!"

Seeing her happy appearance, Zhang Xiaoman felt a little strange.

This woman's hair can also change according to her mood, it will stick up when she is happy, and droop when she is sad. I don't know what kind of talent it is.

"I'm going to do the strength certification, what are you so happy about?"

He asked his doubts.

Ziwei looked at him and said with a smile:
"Did you forget? Last time we agreed, you will come to the Dark Spirit Star Alliance in the future, and I will be your recommender. After taking the referral fee, we will be half of each other. You won't go back on your word...?"

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned.

"Oh, so the recommendation you mentioned is here, don't worry, I certainly won't go back on my word."

Hearing what he said, Ziwei finally let go of her nervous heart.

"That's good, let's go!"

……

The four of them quickly entered the house in front of them.

This is a huge oval building like a hill, and it is the headquarters of the Dark Spirit Association on this planet. The interior space is like a whole small city, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance.

It is also the first time for Ziwei to come here to the association, but everyone has a personal terminal as a guide, so they will not get lost.

Although there is a lot of space here, they can easily reach the destination they need by relying on the teleportation points set up at various locations.

"It's really extravagant. Originally, I thought it would be extravagant to set up teleportation points in the city. I didn't expect to see so many teleportation points inside a building."

Zhang Xiaoman secretly sighed.

He can also build the teleportation array himself, but the conditions for the construction are very strict.

That is the method from the Ancient God Continent, which not only requires the support of the spiritual veins below, but also requires a lot of high-grade spiritual stones to build it.

In addition, every time the teleportation array is activated, it needs to consume a certain amount of spirit stones. Ordinary monks will not easily waste resources to teleport.

Although the teleportation points inside the Dark Star Alliance seem to be somewhat different from the teleportation arrays in the ancient continent, they can be arranged on such a large scale and used at will, just from this point, it can be seen that this place is extraordinary.

This is the background that has gone through tens of millions of years. It is just a remote skeleton star. It is hard to imagine what kind of spectacular scene the core area of ​​the Dark Star Alliance will be.

With the referee of Bignida as the leader, the next thing is very simple, and the certification process is also very easy.

Zhang Xiaoman himself has the strength of the lower control level, and directly proved his strength to the staff here through a few control level spells, and successfully obtained the corresponding identity certification.

At the same time, Arcatus and Hilna, who came with him, also passed the authentication.

Since applying to become a recommender requires a lot of cumbersome procedures, Zhang Xiaoman simply asked Ziwei to bring them in for registration. This made the woman so happy that her hair was so spiky that it almost went up to the sky.

After calculating the rewards this time, each person's referral fee is 1000 million, Zhang Xiaoman and Arcatus are 500 million each, and Bigwei got a bonus of 500 million in one fell swoop.

Now, the identities of the three of them have also become the control level of registration, and they can enjoy the corresponding tax exemption policy when selling dark spirit materials in trading centers and other places in the future.

At the same time, if they buy materials from the official, they will also receive corresponding discounts.

If you go to the Dark Spirit Association to accept the corresponding tasks, you can even get additional rewards such as funds and contribution points.

These are the benefits brought about by the improvement of strength.

"Let's go! Let's go to the trading center! I happen to be short of some materials. I didn't buy them in the market before, so I can only buy them there at a high price."

A group of people arrived at the trading center through the teleportation point again, which is the area they just came over.

But this time the four of them didn't go to the market on the street outside, but went directly into the largest building inside.

The trading center at this time is the busiest time when it is crowded with people.

At a glance, all kinds of strange-looking people are wandering around the interior of the building.

Among these races, some were seen by Zhang Xiaoman, such as Lizardmen, Ranked people, etc., and some were strange races that he couldn't name.

He even saw a bug walking upright in the crowd with hands like sickles.

They are all searching for the items they need through their personal terminals, and then go to the corresponding shops under the guidance of the terminals.

Although there are many people in the trading center, it is not chaotic because the venue is large enough and the planning is very perfect.

Skull Star is considered a fringe administrative planet, but because of its location, many mercenaries gather here.

After completing the mission, in order to reduce the loss of the journey, they will choose a planet nearby to sell supplies.

Skeleton Star occupies this geographical advantage, and its economic development is quite good.

Therefore, in this huge trading center, Zhang Xiaoman basically saw all kinds of mercenaries at a glance.

They may not be as well-dressed as those real nobles, but the strength of these people cannot be underestimated.

Basically, the number of dark spirits accounts for at least one-tenth, and it is impossible for people without two skills to be mercenaries.

"It seems that there is an auction today, no wonder there are so many people... um... I checked the time, it seems that it will start in three hours, Jixing, why don't we join in the fun, maybe we can find A lot of good stuff!"

Ziwei looked at her personal terminal and found the reason why the trading center was so busy today.
