I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1757 Trying To Connect To Big Names

The responses he got from Silverlining told him the upper echelon of the mighty empire wasn't happy with his ambitious plans and moves. When he asked for help to purchase more warriors or races, he got put on hold for a few months, with Silverlining secretly warning him of this move.

[... It's a known tactic here, when they don't like someone, they used to shadowban him. You aren't just put on hold, you are put on a list that they'll never check until a year or more passes…]

Hye appreciated the help and advice that the dude gave to him. He didn't need that warning actually, as the moment he got such an answer, he expected this was going to be the case.

"We are all alone," Hye deeply sighed, before his face slightly changed, showing his determination, "as if this is new to me, to humans, to us… I'll find a way to reap more people here, no matter what you'll get what you want."

"Just don't do something stupid," Lily caressed his cheeks, looking him in the eye, "I know we'll be going through this one way or another, but I also know you."

"What? I'm not that crazy to go and do something stupid," he rolled his eyes, while she scoffed and said nothing.

She softly slapped his shoulder, while adding another reminder to not do anything stupid. He watched her leave, with the promise that she'll start a wide-scale plan to search and dig for all the secrets of this world. And yet he knew such a thing would take much time to happen, would take the effort of everyone here, delaying tons of things to be done.

He didn't like that. He knew his next top priority wasn't to just secure this place, wasn't to hide here and build up, but to go out there and find a way to lure more people to join.

"This is a remote part of the universe, but it doesn't mean there aren't any races living around…" This was one of the options he had, and there was another that he didn't like.

He was next to the outer battlefield, a place that was filled with tons of forces coming and going. If he wanted, he could try and attack these, capture the forces, and make them work for him.

"I can use my techniques properly, but it's not enough… As for my cube, it's useless…" he checked on everything he could do, and then he had no other option but to strike deals with impacts and merchants, purchasing tons of races in return for his bones.

"It seems I pampered those Toranks a lot… They turned their backs to me, at the time I needed their help and support… It's true no hegemon will raise a cub to grow and be a formidable tiger later on…"

He shook his head, feeling like the honeymoon period with the Toranks was over. He didn't feel any disheartened about this, after all both sides were just doing business together, based on mutual interests.

"I need to start contacting them then…" As he decided that, he started to open something he kept gathering for a long time; contacts!

In the past twenty years, he didn't waste his time and kept gathering lots of contacts. He knew such a day would come, one in which he'd lose the support of the Toranks.

And so he started to work on gathering all the contacts of the big impacts. He never spoke with them before, as he didn't know what to ask from them back then.

But now he knew exactly what he'd ordered.

[Hi, it's Hye, the human who established a kingdom twenty years ago. I want to start cooperating with you, in return for my bones. If you are interested, please send me a message, and let's talk…]

He copied and pasted this message and sent it to over fifty names he accumulated so far. Getting these contacts was never easy, and he had to dig too deep and for a long time to get them.

He knew these were the top leaders in fifty big impacts. And they must be quite busy. However he hoped by his name and his bones, they'd return back with good replies.

Yet that didn't happen for two weeks!

A few days later, the formation was finally ready. The moment it got activated, Hye felt the entire space buzzing, flashing with bright lights, before everything stabilised after a few minutes.

[The formation is complete and ready!] Lily sent his message, while Hye already was looking around from the big glass dome he got for his deck.

He could see distant flashes of light, shimmering in different colours, as if thin arcs of lightning were dancing in the far distance.

[I can already see that… Let the formation team leave, and then make old Gan run a few tests to check over the stability and integrity of the entire formation…]

Hye knew by this moment, he was going to have his first base in space. It was very huge, yet it was far away from where the action was. He knew in the future he'd struggle to establish such a base in the deeper places of this universe.

What he did here would be widely known to many, and everyone would guard against repeating such a process again. The only thing that made him succeed this time was the faraway location he selected.

To lay down such a formation, he needed to spend lots of time. And he was sure any force in the universe would fight hard to stop him. "At least I have a place to call home here," he looked around, feeling lots of pride for what he accomplished so far.

"Now, the real work starts…" he knew he asked Lily to start mapping and discovering the entire space he had, but she lacked a lot of manpower to do this.

As he knew the contacts he tried to reach wouldn't answer anytime soon, and there was a huge chance they'd miss his message in the middle of their contacts and received messages, he decided to stretch out a helping hand.
