Chapter 842: Prant's Persuasion
Prant's final words were not directed at the Blue Star cultivators present but to all of Blue Star's humanity.
As he spoke, his projection appeared in the skies above every major town and city on Blue Star.
It was midnight in the capital, and most players in the China region had not logged into the game. This was the time when the most people were offline.
Whether in the capital, East Sea City, Rongcheng, or any other major city, ordinary residents could clearly see Prant's imposing figure in his mech, projected in the sky, and hear his words.
Prant spoke in perfect Mandarin, ensuring that every Chinese person understood his message.
Upon seeing the scene overhead, the previously quiet cities gradually buzzed with chatter.
"How are the Skrulls pulling this off again?"
"The last time this happened, it was Emperor Manina of the Sunfire Kingdom. This one seems even more significant!"
"I've read this guy's profile on the 'Singer' website. He's Prant, a peak god-tier psychic mech pilot. He definitely ranks higher than the Sunfire Emperor!"
As the ordinary residents of the towns began their discussions, the image in the sky changed.
After Prant finished speaking, Brandon, standing beside him, rose and spoke loudly in somewhat broken Mandarin, "Hello everyone, I am Brandon, the strongest player in the North American server. I'm sure many of you have heard of me. Today, I want to share some heartfelt words with you all."
Seeing Brandon's figure, the ordinary residents of the towns were taken aback.
They, of course, knew who Brandon was.
In the past year, powerful players in the game had become the biggest celebrities, like Su Yu, Zhong Feng, Qianbei Buyou, and Xu Xiaotian. Their every move attracted massive attention, and the Blue Star United Government was actively shaping them into heroes of the new generation.
As the top player in the North American region, Brandon, though not as dazzling as Su Yu, was still on par with top players like Yunzhong Mudi and Zhenhongyan Heilong, making him one of the most popular players.
He had also traveled to Skrul through Donna's spatial tunnel twice.
Although his performance was not outstanding, bringing back only some high-tier materials from the bodies of powerful magical beasts, he remained a highly regarded player in the North American region.
But now, he was standing shoulder to shoulder with a Skrull god-tier being, clearly a sign of betrayal!
...
In the sky, Brandon paused for a moment before continuing:
"Our world on Blue Star has always been rife with injustice, especially for us ordinary people. Before the Skrulls arrived, we suffered under the oppression of the government, landlords, and capitalists.
Now that the Skrulls are here, even if they oppress us, it's just a change in who's doing the oppressing. It's not a big deal.
And everyone should know about the Skrull technology.
Their technology is hundreds of years more advanced than ours. Their arrival on Blue Star will bring about more advanced productivity.
The lives of ordinary people will not only not decline but will see a significant improvement!
Therefore, submitting to the Skrulls is a beneficial move for us ordinary people. I hope you will all consider this seriously."
Brandon paused again, and during this lull, the ordinary residents of the towns couldn't help but start discussing:
"Listening to him, it does seem to make some sense."
“If the Plante and the other Skrulls keep their promise and govern fairly, the lives of ordinary people like us should improve. Their rule would be better than what we had before.”
“Plante’s words remind me of the ‘Qing Army’s Entry into the Pass’ in history.
When the Qing Army entered the pass, the scholars and common people of the Ming Dynasty did not resist much. For them, a change in rulers did not mean a change in their lives.”
“But the main issue is, why should we trust the Skrulls not to harm us? Once the human elites are gone, we will be nothing but prey. Why should we believe they will give us a better life?”
In the sky, Brandon spoke solemnly, as if addressing the common townspeople, “Regarding the most important issue of life and death, Plante has already given an answer.”
“Plante, a peak Scruull warrior, would never break his word. Do you think he would let his reputation be harmed by the lives of ordinary people?”
Plante also added at the right moment, “If you still don’t trust, once I return to Skrull, I will make this matter public to all Skrull people.
Then I will also send the public video to Blue Star, so everyone can see it. As long as I am alive, I will not allow any Skrull to harm a single Blue Star citizen!”
Plante’s voice echoed, and many of the townspeople were visibly moved.
“It seems the Skrulls are sincere. For us ordinary people, surrendering to the Skrulls might lead to a better life.”
“Yes, I am tired of those landlords and capitalists. Why should some people live comfortably off rent from a few properties, while I have to risk my life every day in a 996 job? It’s better to be ruled by a new master than to be oppressed by our own!”
“But I still have some concerns. This is like the surrender of France to Germany during World War II, where the Germans gave very favorable terms, but they still ended up second-class citizens, and especially the women suffered greatly.”
“I believe the Skrulls will not do that. First, we are different species; second, the Skrulls are after our spirit energy, and we ordinary people do not use spirit energy, so there is no conflict.”
“Moreover, if we keep fighting, many humans will die, and when we face a more advanced civilization, we will continue to die. The most who die will always be us, the common people. But the Skrulls will not harm us. They will keep their promise and provide a better life for all of us.”
