PFC Chapter 116 Negotiation Success
Chapter 116 Negotiation Success
With Clara leading the way, the journey was smooth.
The coded doors along the way opened without having to look for clues. The robot, whose attitude was originally mysterious, spoke like a human when it saw Clara. As for the identity verification, it opened after just two questions.
They even solved the energy supply system in the original settlement. A group of people gathered together, with their own expertise, and they could always come up with a solution quickly. This helpful and kind appearance gave Clara a little more peace of mind and trust.
There is really a kind of beauty that has blossomed.
This efficiency is so comfortable.
As the wandering little robot said, "Welcome back, Miss Clara and the guests," the final door was unlocked. As the two groups were about to meet, the little girl in red finally made her request.
"Well, if possible, please don't anger Mr. Swarlow..."
In response to this question that they were also avoiding, March 7 was the first to answer: "Don't worry, Clara! We are here to reason with him."
Xier actually prefers a direct fight to a negotiation, so she promptly points out her weakness: "I'll leave the negotiation to you. I'm not good at it."
Finally, everyone took a deep breath. This was the first time they were negotiating with the robots, and no one had much confidence. But if all went well, perhaps within today or tomorrow, they would be able to solve the source of the disease that had been on this planet for a long time. This was still worth getting excited about.
Following Xing's righteous words, "Let's go and see Swarovski," she waved her hand and pushed open the heavy iron door in front of her.
Behind the iron gate was an empty small courtyard. Boss Swarovski stood upright in the center. His first attention was of course on the girl in red who was leading the group.
"I see the settlement's functional systems are back online. Thank you, Clara."
"But why did you bring them here?"
Although the mechanical voice sounded doubtful, fortunately, there was not much anger or disgust in it at the moment.
Clara: "Mr. Swarlow, they want to talk to you about the upper district and the disaster on this planet."
The huge machine saw that the person coming was the person involved in the variable that Cheng An had told her about.
"I thought our agreement was complete. After calculation, I found that you and your companions have extraordinary goals and strengths. I modified the calculation results and concluded: open the passage between the upper and lower areas."
"In exchange, you said that cooperating with you could bring vitality to this planet."
Cheng An nodded repeatedly: "That's right, thank you very much for your trust, but we realize that just having a channel is not enough. There are other things that require your cooperation, Mr. Swarovski."
Perhaps it was related to the change in calculations, Swarlow's attitude was not as aggressive as in the original work. "Since you have not lied so far, your strength is extraordinary, and Clara introduced you, you can tell me why you are here."
That forbidden word is about to be said, will it win?
"We need information about the core of the star on this planet." She finally looked serious and stared at the red light on the robot's head without blinking.
A mechanical voice then sounded: "Access to the database... blocked. Talking about 'Star Core' with unauthorized targets: forbidden."
"You are touching secrets sealed deep within the world. Secrets that no human should know."
The same old thing. Secrets, how fresh.
Swarlow: "In recorded history, humans have attempted to come into contact with the 'core of a star'. Without exception, they have attempted to take the substance for their own use out of human selfishness."
"Instructions from the City Builders: Any attempt to come into contact with the 'Star Core' will result in severe consequences."
Cheng An was dismissive of this old-fashioned instruction: "I thought you should know that we are different from those people, so we are called variables."
"Whether it's their motives or their actions so far, are they the same as those of the villains in your ancient data?"
"If we wanted the Star Core itself, we would have gone to the upper area to grab it. One of our team members even dreamed about the scene where the Star Core and Cocolia were talking. We all know that the Star Core is no longer in the lower area. If we really wanted that, why would we come all the way here?"
She spoke faster, trying to finish explaining the special aspects of her story before Swarovski attacked.
Xing would dream about the reappearance of a scene in the upper area that seemed to be the conversation between Cocolia and Xinghe. This was told to her by Sanyue and Xing when she was chatting with them. This saved her the trouble of explaining why she knew it so clearly.
"We are just trying to find out the truth about this planet's buried past."
She was staring at the robot whose computing module was running at full speed. Xing next to her was quick-witted and understood the atmosphere very well. She poked Clara and raised her chin, indicating that it was time for her to make her position clear.
The girl in red saw that Cheng An was very confident and spoke as if she was racing against time, and everyone behind her could not get a word in except to say "she is right", so she immediately understood her mission.
"Mr. Swarlow, you said you were willing to fulfill every wish for me, right? Clara's biggest wish now is that everyone can unite like a family."
The girl in red bravely stood beside Cheng An and faced Swarovski.
"Clara believes that they can bring hope here, just like what Sister Cheng An has been doing during the underground fire, just like they helped Clara. Just like their actions have always represented the residents here."
"Sister Cheng An once gave you a new calculation. The result of that calculation made you feel relieved and opened up the passages between the upper and lower floors. This is the result that everyone in the lower area longed for. More people have a better life. Maybe this time, we should trust them."
"Mr. Swarlow, can you tell us what you know?"
All I can say is that Clara’s words are still effective.
Cheng An stared at him for so long, talking like a machine gun spewing out information, and he hesitated for so long.
As a result, uh, as soon as Clara spoke, it was like adding some extremely heavy weight to one side of the scale, and the robot brother gave in on the spot.
Swarovski: "Evaluation system restarting... Restarting successfully. Converting variables..."
"Variable one: Clara's demands. Variable two: the outsider's motivations."
"Evaluation results updated: Access to information related to 'Star Core' is allowed."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the final result, especially Sanyueqi and Xing, who immediately smiled and gave a high-five, showing their perfect understanding.
Cheng An had mixed feelings. After so much talk, they finally didn't have to turn against each other and have a fight. If anything got damaged, Clara would have to fix it later.
Now she already knows everything. With a powerful enemy at the doorstep, and everyone is obviously a friendly force, it would be too tortuous if she still had to watch an internal strife on her side first.
But he is really hypocritical, Swarovski. Cheng An came in advance to make an appointment and spent so much time and effort, but the final variable was still Clara's request.
What a strong family bond!
