137 137 Expansion IX

The meeting lasted for 4 hours and it turns out, that among all the race that didn't submit the proposal beforehand Ishmae of Lisharam race demands was the smallest, and Braklir of Yruush have the biggest demand, but Vealir of Crimto have the weirdest demands they want the Solution to taste like Blood.

Arc, didn't agree at first but when Vealir passes him a document he Agrees immediately. As Vealir would be trading using Blood Steel the strongest metal in the bright Galaxy that only Crimto knows how to make. Like Grand Trading food solutions, Crimto has the monopoly of Blood Steel, and they didn't trade it in large quantity making it very expensive but Vealir is using Blood Steel and giving Arc a reasonable price for it as long as he agreed at their small demand making the Solution taste like blood.

It's actually very easy to do, but Arc was reluctant as he found it disgusting, but Vealir interpret Arc reluctance as very hard to do as Arc was very accommodating to everyone, that's why he was willing to lower the price of Blood Steel to exchange for Solutions to taste like blood.

Arc wasn't going to correct his misconception, of course, he even offers different tastes of blood as long as he lowers the price of Blood Steel. And Vealir is very happy to accept it. Making Arc very happy inside. Of course, he didn't show it, he was very happy but still has a poker face on.

After a successful business transaction Arc host, a small dinner for everyone which everyone happily accepted as all of them has fulfilled their purpose for visiting Earth.

The next day the news is all about the alien race visit and Ishmea was voted as the most famous of them all second is Vealir as cool-looking vampire there's even a fan club appearing everywhere on earth for some of them.

And of course, the popularity of Grand Trading Corporation, soar even higher. Making it the most famous Company on Earth many Bussines magazines have Grand Trading on the front cover.

Dianna's face is all over them and now Emily is on the front page of many Magazines even the President of UG has increased in popularity because of it.

As for Arc, he was back home with his parents and sisters doing a barbecue in the gardens with Jarvis and the two maids Lily and Lila, and the family mascot Cosmos.

Arc asks his parents what do they want to do next, according to them, they want to accompany his sisters for now. Which makes Arc very happy.

As he was about to leave soon and possibly for quite some time because yesterday just after the meeting with the alien race he receives an Urgent Mission.

Failure: 10 random items from the factory system would be taken.

The factory system would enter the sleep mode for 800 days.

Arc secretly reads the mission, and it's making his head hurt. He asks nine about it but couldn't get any details.

The good news is the system provided two items as compensation for the sudden mission.

* Upgrade stone

* 2-star AI core

Upgrade stone can upgrade any item produced by the system to another level.

At first, Arc wanted to Upgrade Eve but Eve disagree as she didn't need to at the moment. So Arc decided to hold on to it for now.

As for the 2-Star AI core, it is a stand-alone AI, unlike Eve who is a military-grade smartphone AI. So in a sense, it's even more powerful than Eve as it is military-grade AI made specifically for military use, as for Eve she was a mobile phone AI interface even though she was also military grade there's still a difference in capability.

Arc name the AI core Gaia and decided to put it into Enigma City newly made HQ in the deepest part of the Base where a massive supercomputer was located, originally Eve would be responsible for operating it but now that he was leaving and didn't know when he would be back and didn't know if he would be able to communicate while in deep space. So Arc put Gaia into it and Charge her of managing the whole Military operation and for the protection of his family.

Of course, Arc didn't forget to summon the new addition to his Army that he got from completing the system mission.

Arc name the General. Oda Griffith and the two colonels Sora and Haruka Grave, and after naming the rest he appointed Oda as the overall Commander and General of the whole Grand Army and that includes Shadow Units as it was originally part of Grand Army.

So now Oda will be responsible for running the whole Army. Arc left everything to him as he knows more than Arc in running the military, with the help of Gaia the Official AI support of the Army Arc won't have to worry about the Army he only needs to issue command and Oda and the rest will do the rest.

With that settled he can focus on how to complete his urgent mission, As he needed to prepare a lot of things before he left as he didn't know how long he will be gone or how dangerous the mission is, thankfully his parents are back, so he didn't need to worry about no one to take care for his sisters, and he wasn't talking about security but of emotional needs. But with his parents back that's one less burden on his shoulders.

So for the rest of the day he was talking and planing with the help of Eve, he finally knows what to do next.
